Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 711 72: Twin Emperors

"Many people believe that ascending from the lower realm to the Immortal Realm, from mortal to Immortal, is what true ascension means."

"But in fact, only by transcending this illusory world and attaining the true self can one achieve real ascension."

"Without realizing the true self, even if you break through to become an Immortal Emperor or a Taoist Master, this path of cultivation is ultimately a dream-like illusion."

Lin Jing, facing the Demon Lord who was trying to persuade him, asked, "If we collaborate, can we transcend together?"

"Given the current situation, only by collaborating can we transcend," the Demon Lord replied. "Only by using the ultimate spirit possession secret technique I developed for the demon race, in conjunction with the Heavenly Dao Orb to suppress the will of the Heavenly Dao, do we stand a chance to possess the Heavenly Dao and coexist with the universe."

"And if I possess the Heavenly Dao, can my contracted pet beasts transcend the illusion with me?" Lin Jing asked.

The Demon Lord hesitated for a moment; how could he have researched this question? He only wanted to ascend by himself, having abandoned even his own race, let alone pet beasts.

However, to reassure Lin Jing, he said, "You and your contracted pet beasts are one; naturally, you can transcend together, ascending with beast taming."

Lin Jing closed his eyes; believing the Demon Lord would be foolish.

Perhaps the Demon Lord could indeed transcend using his method.

But as the Demon Lord mentioned, the more people who know the truth of the world, each additional one makes the dream more fragile, increasing the risk.

Sharing the will of the Heavenly Dao with him was already a reluctant delay by the Demon Lord; if several pet beasts were added, the risk would become unparalleled.

Therefore, Lin Jing felt no temptation by the Demon Lord's proposal.

However, fearing the Demon Lord would act out of desperation, he paused, standing quietly with closed eyes for seven seconds.

During these seven seconds, it was as if Lin Jing, who wielded the Time Dao Treasure, experienced a lifetime, in which he constantly sought a way to break the deadlock.

After seven seconds, Lin Jing immediately activated the Taoist Bell and launched another attack.

Dong!!!

The terrifying sound of the Tao reverberated through the heavens and earth, across all worlds, causing the Demon Lord's expression to turn exceedingly furious.

"I am a Beast Taming Cultivator; abandoning my pet beasts to ascend alone is something I cannot do."

"Lin Jing!!!"

"Do you truly insist on this course of action?!"

"If I have no hope of transcending, my contingency plan will activate, and at that time, many Immortal Emperors will realize they are merely players in a dream, causing unrest in the universe. Then the entire world will perish with me!!!"

"You may try if you wish," Lin Jing's eyes flowed with the passage of time, a six-pointed star continuously revolving; this was his concern.

However, the Demon Lord, through his racial talent and the Heavenly Dao Orb, could find a way for his own transcendence, and similarly, Lin Jing, through cultivation experience and the Taoist Bell, also discovered a way to break the deadlock.

The Demon Lord did not expect Lin Jing to be so reckless, disregarding the safety of the world, just to annihilate him...

.......

The great war in the lower realm interfered with space and time, causing the time flow between the Immortal Realm and the lower realm to increasingly synchronize.

The ascension channels trembled, ruins and the space of Secret Realms shook, and even the barrier arrays of various sects suffered unforeseen disasters, teetering on the brink of collapse, casting the entire Immortal Realm into an apocalyptic scene.

The Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm were on edge, sensing the earth-shattering battle within the Cultivation Realm.

But if any Immortal Emperor was most unsettled, it was the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race.

Glazed Immortal Emperor had once inquired about the four Immortal Emperors who invaded Earth's Celestial Court in the past.

Clearly, this question was not something Glazed Immortal Emperor personally wanted to know.

Rather, someone in the Celestial Emperor's Tomb wished to pursue the matters of bygone days.

The Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race deduced that Lin Jing must be the chosen one for vengeance by the Celestial Emperor's Tomb, otherwise how could a cultivator from the lower realm possess the Celestial Dao Treasure or even control it?

There had to be the backing of the Celestial Court!

Originally, confident in his strength, the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race didn't concern himself with the potential retaliation, but now he began to worry.

If indeed Lin Jing achieved victory in the lower realm's battle, he would be in danger.

After all, Lin Jing's relationship with the Glazed Immortal Emperor seemed complex.

He had once driven the Glazed Immortal Emperor to death; Did she truly not wish to seek revenge? She simply knew it was impossible.

Yet, at that time, if two Immortal Emperors joined forces, and with the Celestial Dao Treasure, even with absolute confidence, the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race did not believe he could withstand it.

Realizing this, the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race felt he should do something...

"Pet beasts." With all Immortal Emperors sensing the battle in the lower realm, as chaos reigned in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race considered the simplest countermeasure — hostages.

All of Lin Jing's pet beasts were in the Immortal Realm, and all of Lin Jing's old friends in the lower realm had also ascended to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race presumed Lin Jing fought fiercely against the demon race in the lower realm to ensure his pet beasts and friends lived well under the protection of an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm.

Take, for example, the Immortal Palace, whose Sect Protection Array had been jointly reinforced by the Eastern Emperor Immortal and others to protect those Celestial Essence Realm ascending cultivators.

This clearly showed Lin Jing was not heartless like the Demon Lord; he surely cared about the safety of these pet beasts.

Since this was the case, as long as he could capture those pet beasts, everything might be resolved.

Because of the Heavenly Dao battle in the lower realm, the entire Immortal Realm had been drastically affected, so perhaps amidst the chaos, he could complete the capture before other Immortal Emperors reacted.

However, even with a cursory search, the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God race couldn't find any trace of Lin Jing's ascended pet beasts, so he had to focus on those cultivators who ascended from the Celestial Essence Realm.
