Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 662 Knowing One's Fate

Zhang Tianlong is dead.

His death was so insignificant, it barely registers.

These family patriarchs may appear to have profound cultivation, but in reality, they are merely at the bottom level among cultivators of the same realm, and are completely helpless when faced with the gap in cultivation levels.

The truly powerful ones are the Immortal Lords under the command of the Immortal Emperor's lineage.

Like Chen Shengtian, one of the disciples of the Supreme Immortal Emperor who single-handedly bought time for the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and repelled the siege of the demon generals.

Even those five Immortal Lords sent by the Demon Clan to invade Earth were all supreme experts in the Immortal Lord realm. Any one of them could crush the Zhang family patriarch and was capable of fighting beyond their level.

In the immortal realm, judging the strength of a faction and the cultivators within that faction is very simple, based on a very crude standard...

That is to see if the other party's power, whether it is a sect or a family, has its own territory in the lower realm.

For example, the Immortal Palace has two subordinate cultivation realms, Tianyuan and Tianming Realm, which can absorb a continuous stream of ascending immortal seedlings. Only such a power can be considered to have a rich foundation.

The Zhang family, however, is still vying for resources in individual cities and territories, and cannot be considered strong.

In comparison, the Celestial Bird that Lin Jing summoned on short notice was actually a force to be reckoned with.

After helping Lin Jing kill the enemy, the Fairy Bird transformed into human form, appearing as a woman in a white dress, graceful and beautiful. She gently bowed to Lin Jing and said something that gave him a headache: "The Fairy Bird clan, Zhi Qianrou, greets Your Majesty."

really.

Upon hearing the bird introduce itself, Lin Jing sighed inwardly. It was indeed not a solitary bird, but rather one with quite a history.

"Thank you for your help, sir," Lin Jing said.

"You flatter me, Your Majesty."

Beside her, Wu Lingxi shook her head, her gaze constantly shifting between the fairy bird and Lin Jing.

What's going on here?

"Thank you for your help, senior..." Sect Master Wu and the others naturally did not know that Lin Jing had forcibly "charmed" the Immortal Bird with a high-grade immortal artifact. They only thought that Lin Jing had another identity and was not simple at all!
After all, Lin Jing is quite powerful and confident in teaching a Celestial King. It doesn't seem like he's a rogue cultivator, but if he's associated with the Celestial Bird Clan, then it makes sense.

“A friend,” Lin Jing began, introducing the Immortal Bird to avoid the three sect leaders making wild guesses.

But obviously no one will believe it.

Friends my ass.

Your friend calls you the throne?

The dead Zhang Tianlong next to him was the one who correctly addressed the True Immortal Realm; he didn't even call him "fellow Daoist," he called him "ant."

When Sect Master Wu saw that Zhang Tianlong was dead, he was both happy and worried. He said, "With Zhang Tianlong dead, the pillar of the Zhang family is gone. However, Zhang Tianlong has a descendant who joined the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect and became a disciple of its Immortal King Realm Sect Master."

"It was because of this descendant of the Zhang family who joined the Sun Worship Immortal Sect that my Wu family lost out to the Zhang family in the struggle."

"I wonder how the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect will view this matter."

Lin Jing said, "Why bother with so much? He's just a nominal disciple, not a direct disciple. Would the Immortal King of the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect really make such a fuss over a nominal disciple?"

Having killed everyone, Lin Jing no longer cared about anything else.

“If the Throne needs anything, I can return to my clan and ask the elders for help,” said the Immortal Bird from the side. “The Throne’s bloodline is extremely noble. He is a king who has fallen to the mortal world. He will surely become a peak Immortal King in the future. Why don’t you come back to the clan with me to avoid being harmed by villains outside?”

"Forget it." Lin Jing waved his hand, embarrassed. This Feather Crown was a bit outrageous; the brainwashing had reached such a level that this Immortal Lord-level Celestial Bird treated him with the same respect as an Immortal King. However, Lin Jing still had some self-awareness. This Feather Crown could at most govern the Immortal Lord-level bird race; it would definitely be ineffective against the Immortal King level. If a Celestial King-level expert from the Celestial Bird race were to encounter him, he would surely be slapped to death.

"You should be fine, Qianrou. You should be alright from now on. Why don't you stay here for a while and help deter any enemies if they come again?" Lin Jing said.

Although we won't let this fairy bird return to her clan, we can let her stay for a while.

When they see the Immortal Bird here, the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect will probably ignore this matter.

To avoid offending the Immortal Bird Clan, I only need to be a nominal disciple.

“Okay, I’ll listen to the throne,” Zhi Qianrou said.

"That's excellent. The Immortal King of the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect might not care about such a trivial matter, but even if the Immortal King doesn't ask, it's still troublesome for a minor devil. I'm afraid that the Zhang family's prodigy might use his status as a disciple to incite some Immortal Lords of the Sun Worshiping Immortal Sect to cause trouble. But with a senior here, they naturally won't dare to act rashly." Sect Master Wu was overjoyed.

The way they looked at Lin Jing had changed; they were extremely grateful for the decision to make Lin Jing the vice sect leader and Ling Xi's master.

"Then I'll trouble Sect Leader Wu to also create a cave dwelling for her," Lin Jing said.

"You must be tired from the long journey, Lingxi. I'll teach you again after some time."

“Of course, of course,” Sect Leader Wu replied.

“Yes, Master.” Wu Lingxi nodded repeatedly.

…………

Upon returning to his cave, Lin Jing immediately investigated the Immortal Bird Clan. The Immortal Bird Clan appeared to be a reclusive clan with no overt power and an unknown habitat.

Just like their name suggests, the Celestials are prophets. This is a powerful bird race that is born with the racial talent of foreseeing the future, and naturally, there is also a Celestial King in the race.

They can accurately predict future disasters, so this race has almost never been involved in major conflicts and has always managed to remain unscathed. Their history can even be traced back to the last era.

"The Prophet Clan, huh?" Lin Jing fell into deep thought. This was quite troublesome. Even if he didn't let Zhi Qianrou go back for the time being, it would be fine for a short period of time, but if it went on for too long, she would probably be discovered.

But before that, I need to make good use of Zhi Qianrou first; there's no harm in not using her.

Taking advantage of his weakness, he could have the other party protect him.

It won't take long, a hundred years or so is enough. The third body is confident that it can gain a foothold in the Immortal Lord realm.

Also... I hope that when the truth comes out, I will have the confidence to negotiate with the Fairy Bird Clan.

"throne."

A moment later, Lin Jing arrived at the cave dwelling that the Invincible Sect had prepared for the Immortal Bird. Lin Jing asked, "What brings you to this region? It shouldn't be a problem if you don't return to your clan for a while, right?"

Zhi Qianrou said, "It was an elder of the clan who foresaw that the Mandate of Heaven might appear within a thousand years, so he sent the clan members to disperse and see if anyone could assist the one who would bear the Mandate of Heaven. I was just passing by, but I was very lucky to encounter the throne."

"what?"

Lin Jing's expression changed, and he said, "You mean, the destiny of the Immortal Realm is about to be born?"

Zhi Qianrou nodded and said, "Your Majesty, with your qualifications, you may be able to bear the mandate of heaven."

The third body was taken aback. Smuggling himself into the Immortal Realm was indeed the right choice. And now, he had another opportunity, one that even the Immortal Emperor's lineage would find difficult to offer.

But here's the question: can one person bear the destiny of two celestial realms? Can an avatar bear the destiny?
