Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 714 714: Finale: Beast Taming Ascension

"Fellow Daoists, can you assist me?"

As Lin Jing finished speaking, several Immortal Emperors looked at him with solemn expressions.

"Don't be ridiculous," said the ruler of Heavenly Demon Mountain.

Helping Lin Jing become the Master of the Universe?

He wasn't that kind-hearted.

"Once the world stabilizes, then what?" Immortal Emperor Dugu asked.

"We all transcend together," Lin Jing replied.

"How is that possible?" Empress Changsheng spoke: "Even if you become the universe's sustainer, today, too many people know the truth about the world. Stability maintained by sustenance is ultimately not absolute."

"When you possess the strongest power, the only way to restore tranquility to the world is to kill us, the informed ones. In doing so, you can coexist with and dominate the dream, eternally dwelling within it."

"And as you say, transcending together, even if you manage to pacify the dream, many will continuously seek methods of transcendence, and the dream will be nearing its breaking point again, rendering it futile."

Lin Jing nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, but have you ever considered that there can be many sustainers?"

"Perhaps, on my own, I can only maintain a certain level of stability, but..."

"As long as the Will of Heaven is contracted by many, the stability of the dream will be greatly enhanced. By then, even if all sentient beings across the heavens and worlds know they are in a dream, it will not lead to destruction. Instead, cultivating immortality will transform into cultivation of truth, seeking one's true self, ascending from the illusory to the real world will become the pursuit of all living beings."

"Whether it's this world or every cultivator's cultivation, both can persist."

"Impossible," Immortal Emperor Zhulin retorted. "The Will of Heaven is not so easily contracted."

Lin Jing was the first recorded to break through to Immortal Emperor with the Beast Taming Technique, supported by the Celestial Dao Treasure, and amid the dream's imminent collapse, found the opportunity to contract the Will of Heaven.

This opportunity is hard to replicate.

To have one like him as a contractor of the Will of Heaven is already rare enough, and to have many universe sustainers happening... it seems like fooling them no matter how you look at it.

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Jing extended his hand, and two fragments of Heavenly Dao Rules appeared, transforming into beast forms.

The fragment of the contracted rule's Will of Heaven turned into a pigeon.

The fragment of the time rule's Will of Heaven turned into a feathered dragon.

"Who said one must fully contract the Heavenly Dao to be a universe sustainer? Even contracting fragments of the Will of Heaven still serves to stabilize the dream."

"These two rule fragments, one was contracted when I was in the Immortal Monarch Realm, and one when I was in the Immortal King Realm."

"Once I contract the complete Will of Heaven, I will transform the Power of the Heavenly Dao into myriad divine beasts, repeating their birth across the heavens and worlds. Those who cultivate the Beast Taming Technique, with talent, will have the chance to contract fragments of the Heavenly Dao, becoming universe sustainers."

"As more and more cultivators with the aptitude to contract the fragments of the Will of Heaven emerge across the heavens and worlds, the dream world will become increasingly stable."

"Henceforth, ascending to the Immortal Realm will no longer be the sole goal of cultivators."

"All cultivators pursue the Beast Taming Technique, sustaining universe stability, and pursuing their true selves. Through generations of cultivators' effort and exploration, stepping out of the illusory world is no longer a privilege of certain individuals or Taoist Masters. Every cultivator will have the chance to achieve it, without worrying about the world collapsing because of it."

When Lin Jing finished speaking, the Immortal Emperors were dazed.

Lin Jing's description seemed indeed like a solution to the current crisis. If it unfolds according to Lin Jing's words, this universe will enter a new era.

An era with the Beast Taming Technique as mainstream, pursuing fragments of the Will of Heaven transformed into divine beasts as mainstream.

By then, the world will be stable, the dream eternal, and everyone will have the opportunity to ascend once more.

The Immortal Realm will not be the end.

However, the sole issue is their interests not being guaranteed, and the inability to determine whether Lin Jing will keep his promise after becoming a universe sustainer.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Lin Jing looked towards a direction, only to see space ruptured open, a figure resembling an embodiment of the Will of Heaven slowly stepped out.

This person was none other than Lin Jing's true form.

After contracting the lower realm's Will of Heaven, he was no longer confined by restrictions of the Immortal Realm or the lower realm, freely traversing between the two time spaces.

The true form and the embodiment nodded in agreement, then fused together. The pressure unleashed by Lin Jing's embodiment and Immortal Emperor Liuli's Integration already made the Immortal Emperors feel unparalleled tension, like ancient Heavenly Emperors reborn...

But now, the fusion of Lin Jing's true form and embodiment, that overwhelming life level, shook the hearts of all the Immortal Emperors.

Taoist Master Realm.

At this moment, Lin Jing, with both forms unified, undoubtedly reached the Taoist Master level.

"I am not... negotiating with you."

"Rather, I am expressing what I believe, and what must be implemented."

"Now, I only seek an answer from you honorable predecessors."

"Who agrees, and who opposes?"

Lin Jing's tone was quite calm, yet even the East Emperor and Jidao Immortal Emperor, who had previously offered gifts to Lin Jing, did not doubt; if they opposed Lin Jing's idea, their fate would be akin to that of the Immortal Emperor of the Alien God Clan.

"What do you require from us?" The reticent Town Prison Immortal Emperor spoke up.

"It's simple."

Looking at the Immortal Emperors, Lin Jing said, "Before I contract the Immortal Realm's Will of Heaven, I need you to sign a contract with me."

"Firstly, by contracting with you, I will be able to borrow your strength, increasing the success rate of contracting the complete Heavenly Dao."

"Additionally, by signing the contract, I can ensure that during my weakest moment while contracting the Heavenly Dao, you won't undertake any irrational actions, such as preventing me from contracting the Immortal Realm's Will of Heaven."

"It's only by meeting this condition that I can safely contract the Immortal Realm's Will of Heaven..."

```

Although he could, like the other Immortal Emperors thought, directly eliminate them, which would leave no one to interfere with his contract with the Heavenly Dao.

But the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm is bound to be much more difficult to contract than the will of the lower realm's Heavenly Dao, and now that the dream realm is slowly stabilizing, the opportunity is not as favorable as it once was to contract with the lower realm's Heavenly Dao will.

So the best method is to gain the support of every Immortal Emperor.

"Very well, we are willing."

Lin Jing had become a Taoist Master, and even with the most basic assessment of the situation, the Immortal Emperors could not find a second path. If they were still the supremely exalted Immortal Emperors of the myriad worlds, perhaps they could not accept such disparity.

However, it is not about whether Lin Jing has surpassed the Immortal Emperors, but rather, understanding that this is merely a world of illusion, with a vast real world waiting beyond, any Immortal Emperor would want to witness it firsthand.

What Lin Jing refers to as the Era of Beast Taming, cultivating more universe maintainers, and an era of contracting beasts of the Heavenly Dao, seems to be the only chance to break the illusion and achieve collective ascension.

"If that's the case, everyone, please."

......

The turmoil of the struggle for the Heavenly Dao, the shocks of the dream realm on the verge of awakening, and the chaotic rules as Lin Jing contracted with the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm and Immortal Realm, made the cultivators of the myriad worlds anxious.

Fortunately, this did not last long.

While everyone was in a dream-like state, Lin Jing used the Beast Taming Technique, contracted the Immortal Emperors, and with the power of the Immortal Emperors, conducted the final contract with the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, becoming the first in several eras to reach the pinnacle of the dream realm through the path of Dao.

And...

He found a breakthrough solution to a problem that had plagued the beings of the dream realm for several eras.

It was not about abandoning everything and ascending alone.

But rather giving all living beings in the dream realm a chance to ascend by taming beasts, leaving this illusory world.

In the past,

The Lord of the Heavenly Demon Mountain invited many powerful demon clans to set the Star Demons Plan, giving birth to countless Treasure Beasts in the lower realms. A young man named Lin Jing relied on contracting a small Treasure Beast to grow to the peak of the universe.

Today,

After Lin Jing became a universe maintainer, he also launched a new 'Star Demons Plan'. The massive and complex fragments of the Heavenly Dao's will transformed into divine beasts under Lin Jing's hand and appeared throughout the myriad worlds.

There was a giant dragon, nurtured beneath the Celestial Essence Realm.

There was a god-like giant ape, climbing out of the mountains of Pangu Continent.

Of course, there were also seemingly weak, elf-like beings born in the corners of every realm, all transformed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.

By contracting and cultivating them, one could traverse the path of cultivation and reach the pinnacle, thus contributing significantly to the stability of the dream realm.

"The first step is to scatter the fragments of the Heavenly Dao's will across the realms, waiting for one, two, ten, a hundred, a thousand talented individuals with top-level Dao-taming aptitude to appear, contract them, and become new universe maintainers."

"Once the number of maintainers grows and the will of the Heavenly Dao is repeatedly contracted time after time, the dream realm will become incredibly stable, and there will no longer be a risk of destruction."

"The second step, a stable dream realm, can support more cultivators, conducting more bold attempts to ascend from this illusory world!"

Now Lin Jing scatters the fragments of the Heavenly Dao's will, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to maintain the operation of the dream realm, surrounded by Pet Beasts, all gazing at him with large eyes.

This new era, not only the human race can cultivate in the way of Dao, but all races can. The moment Lin Jing became a universe maintainer, the Beast Taming Technique had already become the most common and accessible cultivation method in the myriad worlds.

He nodded towards the Pet Beasts. If he merely wanted to ascend alone from this illusory world, although he didn't have the most primordial demonic bloodline of the Demon Lord, nor his self-created ultimate seizing Secret Technique, nor his Celestial Dao Orb, he could still spend vast amounts of time trying to replicate his path. After all, bloodlines can evolve, techniques can be recreated, and Celestial Dao Treasures can be refined anew.

But as Lin Jing told the Demon Lord, ascending alone was not something he desired.

Perhaps other powerful beings, upon reaching the peak, are destined to be accompanied by loneliness, solitude, eventually becoming misunderstood loners who opt for solitary ascension.

But Lin Jing, who cultivated in the way of Dao, is different. Each Pet Beast, each contract, is the pillar of his cultivation.

If it weren't for the pain of separating his hard-earned stored Spirit Stones for the hoarding mouse, without the help of each Pet Beast, he would not have reached where he is today.

Thus, ascension is possible, but it must be beast taming ascension.

......

Chaos Dream Beast.

A terrifying creature that traverses various cosmic time and space, sustaining its life by devouring the universe.

It feeds on the universe, and the worlds it consumes transform into dreams, playing out inside it.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, like a walking tyrant in the vast starry sky, many universe-level powerhouses tremble at its presence, retreating swiftly. When it sleeps, it is the most peaceful period for countless universes, and no one dares to wake it casually.

Many universe-level beings carefully observe it, fearing that one day it might awaken and swallow their universe space-time. It is undoubtedly one of the top disasters for each universe space-time.

"Hmm?"

One day, a mysterious youth came before this sleeping giant and showed an expression of surprise.

"Originally, I heard that there was a Chaos Dream Beast dead asleep in this universe and wanted to see if I could seize the opportunity to capture it, but now it seems that someone else got ahead."

"Interesting... The worlds devoured by it transformed into dreams within it, yet someone was able to realize their true self in the dream and contract its consciousness. It seems they are a 'kindred spirit'. It shouldn't be long before they can step out of the dream, turning the virtual into reality."

"There will be yet another monster in this world." The youth observed for a while with interest, then left, waiting for that day to come. Compared to contracting the Chaos Dream Beast, he seemed more eager to find a rival who could hold their own against him.

Years after the mysterious youth left,

On the enormous Chaos Dream Beast, appeared phantom-like figures, turning from virtual to real, opening their eyes and stepping out from the dream to view this world.

A squirrel climbed onto the shoulder of a human-like figure, chittering as if extremely curious about this place.

...

The End.
