Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 705 66: The Final Gamble

When Lin Jing and the reincarnated form of the Demon Lord met, it was in the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Emperors vaguely sensed that there was new progress in the revival of the Ancient Immortal Realm's Earth, seeming capable of bearing an Immortal King.

However, this change was already irrelevant.

Because after the disappearance of the Demon Lord and the demon race, they had long found the passage to the Ancient Immortal Realm's Earth in the demon territory, but without the Celestial Dao Treasure to sustain it, this passage was already ruined and unusable.

It was almost certain that the Demon Lord had abandoned the things of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

The Demon Lord coveted the ancestral demon bones and the clan-guarding Immortal Artifact in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb to strengthen the demon race, then make the entire demon race serve him to fulfill his ambition.

After all, for the Demon Lord himself, who was already in the Immortal Emperor Realm and possessed the Celestial Dao Treasure, these two things were not very useful to him.

And now, since the Demon Lord chose to reincarnate into the lower realm and no longer rely on the race to conquer the Cultivation Realm, everything in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb was as good as useless.

For the current Demon Lord, relying on the Celestial Dao Treasure to seize the will of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm and embark on the path of a Taoist Master was the most important thing.

The Immortal Emperors naturally turned their gaze towards the lower realm as well.

However, compared to the Immortal Emperors, Lin Jing was particularly concerned about the changes on Earth.

After Earth could bear an Immortal King, he immediately went to Earth through a secret path of the Invincible Sect.

Upon returning to Earth, he discovered that his third form had already returned to the Immortal King Realm, taking advantage of the Spiritual Qi revival.

But this was not what Lin Jing was concerned about. He came to inform the Empresses in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb of everything he had investigated.

To ask them how to avenge the invasion of the Exotic Domain Immortal Emperors back then.

After all, this involved three Immortal Emperors, the Demon Lord, the Exotic God Race Immortal Emperor, and the Solitary Immortal Emperor of the Shanhai Sect.

The Empresses in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb did have a favor towards Lin Jing, but the conditions they invested in him were to help guard the Emperor's Tomb and to help investigate the past matters, all of which Lin Jing had already accomplished.

As for the matter of avenging the Celestial Emperor and the Empresses, after all, involved three Immortal Emperors, it was beyond the scope of the original agreement, and Lin Jing felt powerless.

The matter concerning the Demon Lord had significant implications and was already adversarial, but adding the Exotic God Race Immortal Emperor and potentially being enemies with the Solitary Immortal Emperor...

"The Demon Lord must die, and the demon race must perish."

"The Exotic God Race Immortal Emperor must also die."

"As for the Shanhai Sect, at least the bloodline descendants of the Shanhai Immortal Emperor must be put to death!"

The Empresses received the information and had only one thought: revenge.

However, they also knew that the remaining power of the Celestial Emperor's Tomb, let alone dealing with an Immortal Emperor, couldn't even contend with a quasi-emperor.

Therefore, they naturally placed their hopes on Lin Jing.

"Senior." Lin Jing smiled wryly, "The fact that I've made it this far is thanks to the legacy of the Celestial Emperor and the gifts from you seniors. Emotionally and rationally, His Majesty the Celestial Emperor is like half a mentor to me, and I should avenge him."

"But whether it's the Demon Lord, the Exotic God Race Immortal Emperor, or the Solitary Immortal Emperor, these are not entities I can easily provoke right now."

"So I have a suggestion."

"Go ahead, as long as we can do it, everything will be as you say," Frog Empress spoke up.

Lin Jing said, "If I want to take revenge, I must at least advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm to do so, to have hope. I need you seniors to assist me in breaking through to the Immortal Emperor."

Frog Empress frowned and said, "This... we don't know how to help you."

Given Lin Jing's current strength, the help they could provide was minimal.

Lin Jing said, "I need the bones of the four Immortal Emperors suppressed in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb and the clan-guarding Immortal Artifacts of their four races."

These eight items are actually the reason for the existence of the Celestial Emperor's Tomb.

It is difficult to completely annihilate an Immortal Emperor, and even in death, their resentments can cause various anomalies and are difficult to purify, just like the Divine Martial Forbidden Area of the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, to prevent the revival of the strength of these four Immortal Emperors, the Celestial Emperor ultimately sealed and suppressed them here.

Now Lin Jing's request for these eight items was almost like declaring the end of the Celestial Emperor's Tomb's purpose.

"What do you want them for?" Frog Empress didn't hurry to refuse but instead asked Lin Jing about their use.

Lin Jing said, "To use them as resources to break through to the Immortal Emperor!"

"Huh?" Frog Empress was stunned, "How can a pile of resentment-filled bones help you, you're not a dog, nor do you have a pet beast that's a dog, and even if you did, no one's ever heard of breaking through by consuming bones."

Lin Jing explained, "The Glazed Immortal Emperor has already achieved her Dao."

"Her Glazed Immortal Pupil can turn decay into a miracle, transforming one type of resource into another."

"Indeed, these resentment-filled bones cannot be directly used, and those clan-bound Immortal Artifacts cannot be directly used either, but through the Glazed Immortal Pupil, they can be combined with other resources, thus changing their nature and making them usable."

"Just as an Immortal Monarch can devour the Dao Fruit of an Immortal King to achieve the path of an Immortal King, who says an Immortal King cannot devour the remains of an Immortal Emperor to increase the chances of becoming an Emperor."

Faced with Lin Jing's request, the Empresses deliberated for a long time and ultimately decided to hand over the bones of the four Exotic Domain Immortal Emperors to Lin Jing.

After all, compared to revenge, keeping the bones from ever seeing the light of day isn't much of a loss, and given Lin Jing's current strength, they aren't worried about these bones retaliating against Lin Jing, reviving through him.

Most importantly, without these bones, their obsessed consciousnesses can finally disperse and find peace.

"We believe in you."

Frog Empress made the decision on behalf of the Empresses, and they intended to wait for the day Lin Jing completed his revenge.

Lin Jing also made a promise to the Empresses to make the clansmen and descendants of the Immortal Emperors who invaded Earth's Celestial Court back then pay the price.

"With the four sets of Immortal Emperor bones, we can ask the Glazed Immortal Emperor to use them as the core to synthesize resources that strengthen Celestial Destiny. These four Immortal Emperors were all bearers of Celestial Destiny, and even in death, their bones still possess the attributes of Celestial Destiny."

"By strengthening the pet beasts with these resources, along with their training results, it won't take long to simulate the true appearance of Celestial Destiny, granting me the ability to break through to Immortal Emperor."

Having achieved his purpose here, Lin Jing didn't rush to leave the Ancient Immortal Realm but instead took out the Great Dao Bell, attempting to find and contract the Heavenly Dao fragments related to temporal rules of Earth.

If he can contract the temporal Heavenly Dao fragments, it will be of great benefit to repairing the Great Dao Bell.

Even if it is useless for repairs, it will help him better utilize the power of the Great Dao Bell.

Back then, Lin Jing captured and contracted Heavenly Dao rule fragments by violating the Heavenly Dao oath to provoke a backlash and find a chance to contract.

And now, to capture the temporal rule fragments, he employed the same trick, allowing the Heavenly Dao to proactively retaliate against him.

"Crossing time and altering the past is taboo, no matter which world one is in."

"Whether in the Immortal Realm or the lower realm, any cultivator attempting to traverse time will attract Heavenly Dao's retaliatory rules, obliterating the one who seeks to toy with time."

"There are numerous records in the Immortal Realm of cultivators who tried to alter the past through temporal laws, leading to their tragic deaths. Even Immortal Emperors dare not tread upon this forbidden domain."

But now, what Lin Jing sought was precisely the backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

He studied forbidden techniques collected from the Immortal Realm, wishing to travel hundreds or thousands of years back, using Earth's dragon veins as energy, attempting to set up a time-travel array. Before the array was even formed, a terrifying backlash force came rolling in.
