Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 690 51: Dao Bell

Crack... crack... crack...

The Nameless Taoist, who had seized possession of Wu Lingxi's body, felt his remnant soul being frozen by a force of frost. He struggled, he resisted, he summoned the power of the Grand Dao Bell, attempting to attack Lin Jing...

But he realized that with only a remnant soul and the body of a True Immortal, the power he could mobilize from the Grand Dao Bell was limited, and he couldn't do anything against Lin Jing, who was contracted with a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Rules.

"Too bad you met me."

Lin Jing, controlling the opponent's body, showed no mercy and directly extinguished the soul.

"I..."

An endless sense of regret filled the heart of the Nameless Taoist. Using someone else's body, his eyes were filled with confusion and regret; he had found the only chance for life under the Death Curse of the Taoist Master, but in the end... why still...

The frost force crazily corroded, and Lin Jing exerted all his strength. After a long time, the remnant soul of the Nameless Taoist was frozen and shattered within Wu Lingxi.

In the next moment, Wu Lingxi's soul finally found the opportunity to reclaim sovereignty over her body.

"Cough... cough..." She showed a painful expression. Lin Jing, seeing this, finally relaxed his hold.

Seeing the mixed look of fear and panic in Wu Lingxi's eyes, Lin Jing sighed: "It's alright."

"It's a good thing the Nameless Taoist didn't choose a perfect possession over you, only occupying your body. Otherwise, it would have been harder to resolve."

"I suspect that the other party wasn't sure if your body was the best choice, only intending a temporary transference. With the same bloodline, even without taking over, he could remain in your body for a long time without rejection."

Wu Lingxi was still somewhat dazed.

"Is that so..."

Then she said, "Master, you... you are... Lin..."

"Yes." Lin Jing said, "It was my oversight that frightened you. Please keep my identity a secret."

"...It's not Master's fault. I also didn't expect that it was the ancestor of the Wu family who actually... did this to me..."

"Even fathers and sons in the mortal world can turn against each other, let alone ancestors separated by countless generations. But not without gains." Lin Jing retrieved the Grand Dao Bell from the side.

Though he didn't know how the Nameless Taoist was able to wield the Celestial Dao Treasure, he tried and found that only through the power of the Heavenly Dao Rule fragments could he barely manage it.

After carefully understanding, Lin Jing took a deep breath.

Good stuff.

Though this bell was damaged, it still contained astonishing might.

It was a... a partially damaged Celestial Dao Treasure with a primary time attribute!

Of course, though it primarily had the Power of Time, it didn't mean it lacked other powers.

At the level of Celestial Dao Treasure, it nearly touched any power.

For example, Space Power.

Lin Jing should feel fortunate. Perhaps due to the state of the Nameless Taoist, he couldn't utilize the core power of the Grand Dao Bell, using only its crudest Heavenly Dao power for attacks and defenses.

Even so, it caused significant trouble for Lin Jing.

"Indeed, the luck of this Nameless Taoist is not less than that of the Demon Lord. The Celestial Dao Treasure in the hands of the Demon Lord should be primarily the Power of Space, while this Grand Dao Bell is primarily the Power of Time. Though damaged, the value of the time attribute is slightly higher than space."

He estimated that the information recorded on the stone tablet of the Nameless Taoist should be 80-90% true.

With the death of the Taoist Master, other Immortal Emperors would inexplicably be affected and die, which was common knowledge. The Nameless Taoist was able to escape this fate, surely relying on this Grand Dao Bell.

Lin Jing looked at Wu Lingxi and said, "You cannot use this item, but I can activate it with the power of the Heavenly Dao. With this assisting our cultivation, things will be much easier."

"However, given your current condition, refrain from cultivating for at least a hundred years. Focus on calming the mind and adjusting yourself."

Wu Lingxi quickly nodded, then looked at Lin Jing, saying: "Master... right."

"Aren't you supposed to be in the lower realm? It's said that you agreed with the Immortal Emperors to always guard the lower realm to prevent a demonic invasion..."

"Indeed, my true self is still in the lower realm, but this is my incarnation. As for your Master, technically, it's an incarnation of my incarnation." Lin Jing calmly stated a fact that was hard to comprehend.

Wu Lingxi's mouth slightly opened, wondering, why does it go layer after layer?

Incarnation? Whose incarnation could deal with an Immortal Emperor ancestor holding a Celestial Dao Treasure...

Though when the Nameless Taoist seized her body, she already disowned this damned ancestor.

"Then with this bell, Master, aren't you afraid of the Demon Lord anymore?"

"Well..." Lin Jing looked at the Grand Dao Bell.

Hard to say.

This bell, after all, is still damaged.

Its abilities don't vastly differ from other Dao treasures, all concerning time manipulation.

For instance, predicting the future, tracing back the past, stopping time.

Creating a separate space where the flow of time moves independently from the normal world.

Despite similar abilities, its strength lies in its potential.

Just like the Hourglass of Time, not being an Immortal Artifact, it could only be used within the Celestial Essence Realm.

That Dao Town Flag, as a lower-quality Immortal Artifact, could only allow True Immortal cultivators to experience tenfold time acceleration.

But this Grand Dao Bell can create a Dao space where an Immortal Emperor can freely exist.

And that's just its ability in a damaged state.

"In its complete form, it could even take a cultivator through time, returning to the past, changing the future. Alas, such destructive power seems not tolerated in the world."

"Otherwise, just travel back to the Demon Lord's birth and eliminate it, changing the future. Wouldn't everything be perfect?"

Lin Jing felt regret over its incomplete state. However, this kind of power, even for an Immortal Emperor, might be difficult to wield, only a Taoist Master... But why go through such trouble for a Demon Lord.

"Can... you save me first?" Meanwhile, the severely injured third body couldn't help but speak.

......

Several days later.

Lin Jing initially decided on the training plan ahead.

Switch personnel!

The third body, due to the battle with the Nameless Taoist, fell from the Immortal Monarch Realm due to the treasure's influence. Therefore, he could return to Earth.

So, the task of guarding Earth was handed over to the third body.

Additionally, the second body also left the eighteen Soul Arts trained for Earth to aid the third body.

As for himself, he and all the Pet Beasts headed to the Immortal Realm, planning to leverage the Dao Fruit bestowed by the Glazed Immortal King and the power of the Grand Dao Bell to breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm.

Originally, the Glazed Immortal King gifted a cap that concealed heavenly secrets. Now, the Grand Dao Bell can also disrupt space-time and interfere with divinations. Even Immortal Emperors can't find their traces in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm are all too occupied with their troubles.

A mysterious Immortal Emperor emerged, becoming an ally of the Demon Lord, making the other Immortal Emperors deeply uneasy, leading them to invest more significantly against the demon clans.

Just as the Glazed Immortal King said, missing this time window would be too bad if they hadn't grown strong enough to stand on their own.
