Vol 5 Chapter 114: The Throne That Hasn’t Moved for Five Hundred Years (End of Volume Five)
Shortly after the news spread, Lin Jing and the Tianyuan Realm were hit with wanted orders from the Cultivation Alliance. Lin Jing and the Tianyuan Realm became the Cultivation Alliance’s top enemies, second only to the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Some cultivators who remained uninvolved in the incident could hardly fathom how a Nascent Soul Transformation stage beast taming cultivator managed to annihilate the allied forces of the various realms’ prodigies.
Was this still the beast taming path they knew?
It was not only the Cultivation Alliance; the Heavenly Demon Realm also suffered heavy losses this time, completely abandoning any thought of subduing Lin Jing. Like the Cultivation Alliance, they issued a Heavenly Demon kill order against Lin Jing. The demonic armies from the distant star realm accelerated their march toward the Tianyuan Realm.
However, years passed, and neither the Heavenly Demon Sect nor the Cultivation Alliance could find any trace of the Tianyuan Realm. The only one who benefited from misfortune was the Demon Emperor Tianchou, who mastered the Chaotic Star Pupil and successfully broke through the confusing great array of the Starry Sky Realm. But after battling the Cultivation Alliance’s vice leader, she mysteriously disappeared.
As for Lin Jing, positioned within the Origin Realm, after displaying such overwhelming power, the Cultivation Alliance and Heavenly Demon Sect both realized that trying to kill Lin Jing inside the Origin Realm was nothing but a fool’s dream.
Despite having done such earth-shattering deeds, countless powerful beings across the myriad worlds were utterly helpless against Lin Jing at this moment.
“Perhaps, we can negotiate.”
Eventually, Lin Jing used the surviving cultivators from various realms to propose a deal to the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Cultivation Alliance: he could resurrect those who died in the Nether Earth, but for each person revived, he would require a sufficient ransom.The Cultivation Alliance initially refused to give in to Lin Jing’s demands, but they couldn’t withstand the grief from losing so many prodigies. Their masters and relatives could not accept it, and now, finally having the chance to resurrect loved ones, countless wills forced the Cultivation Alliance to reluctantly accept Lin Jing’s deal.
Compared to the Cultivation Alliance, which was pushed by the collective will, the Heavenly Demon Sect was much harder to deal with and responded with relentless resistance.
In the Demon Realm, human life was worthless.
After engineering such a situation, Lin Jing felt the pressure mounting. Now, because of the matter involving the supreme immortal energy, both he and the Tianyuan Realm had become enemies of the realms. Fortunately, this supreme immortal energy was genuinely in his hands.
From now on, besides using the supreme immortal energy himself, he could cultivate more powerful experts for the Tianyuan Realm, just as he had with the Demon Emperor!
As long as he made good use of this time, the Tianyuan Realm would not only be safe but could even become one of the dominant powers across the myriad worlds.
“But all this depends on Demon Emperor Tianchou keeping her promise not to attack the Tianyuan Realm for a thousand years.”
“By the way, according to the Cultivation Alliance’s intelligence, Demon Emperor Tianchou disappeared after her battle with the Cultivation Alliance’s vice leader in the Tianming Realm. What exactly happened between those two?” Lin Jing was puzzled. Yet, this situation was undoubtedly the best—Demon Emperor Tianchou being distracted by other matters meant the Tianyuan Realm would have ample time to develop.
“After this, the Origin Realm should remain peaceful for a long time.”
Lin Jing entered his cave residence, free from outside disturbances, allowing him to focus on cultivation. His current cultivation direction was to strengthen his Nascent Soul. Through the Glazed Immortal Eye of the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse, he would “fuse” his Nascent Soul with vast amounts of immortal energy, shaping the strongest immortal Dao Nascent Soul, aiming to break through to the Void Mystical Stage.
Not only his own but also the Nascent Souls of the Pine Leaf Mouse, Dragon Carp, Ice Soul Gu, and Star Longevity Crane would undergo this immortal energy fusion. For the long time ahead, this was their primary cultivation goal to accumulate the strongest foundation for breaking through the Void Mystical Stage.
Only by doing so could they face Demon Emperor Tianchou as half-immortals after going out...
Time flowed on.
It had been five hundred years since that earth-shaking battle.
The Cultivation Alliance had long prepared for the worst. If the Tianyuan Realm showed signs of trouble, they would immediately leave the Origin Realm. But for seven hundred years, the Tianyuan Realm remained stable. Even Tian Fang Yijiao, who had set up a sword formation on the small array of the Starry Sky Confusion Realm, had never appeared during those seven hundred years.
In seven hundred years, holding only a small amount of supreme immortal energy, the cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance had already pushed their cultivation to the limits of the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. They had retreated when necessary, even rebuilt their foundations a few times, weakening their roots. Their time was fully devoted to fulfilling their contract to help resurrect the Fuzzy Immortal.
Unfortunately, although the Pine Leaf Mouse still couldn’t fuse immortal energy, the Pale Dark Origin Source made the Fuzzy Immortal curse vehemently. It was exactly as it had imagined for the fusion object, believing the Pine Leaf Mouse’s divine ability had gone astray. It was unfortunate that the path of fusing physical body and soul was not yet open. But regrettably, the Nascent Soul Transformation cultivation was still too advanced. It was enough to cause the Fuzzy Immortal’s immortal remnant to regress during fusion. Thus, the Fuzzy Immortal could only choose to continue waiting.
For centuries, the Cultivation Alliance ruled as kings of the Origin Realm, setting the rules. Even the Sea Spirit Beast chose to sleep in the deep sea, avoiding conflict until its eventual return. Inside the Origin Realm, more and more prodigies retreated inward. Outside, the place gradually evolved into a small base camp for the Tianyuan Realm—the Seventh Tianyuan Realm.
The throne’s position had not been shaken by prodigies in seven hundred years. The Cultivation Alliance grew increasingly exhausted within the Origin Realm and even entertained the idea of passing the Pale Dark Origin Source inheritance to Gu Qianqiu and leaving the Origin Realm to break through to a lower realm in the inner realm.
But Wen was worried that Gu Qianqiu might have a way to stabilize that position and was hesitant to make a final decision.
“Yo, finally found another one. You really know how to hide.”
At the throne in the Origin Realm, so long had passed without any changes or surprises that when something unexpected appeared, Lin Jing had lost his rapid reaction instinct. His dull mind glanced at the suddenly appearing being before him, mistakenly reading the vision.
It was a phantom Nascent Soul, extremely similar in state to the Fuzzy Immortal.
Lin Jing quickly regained composure and locked his divine consciousness onto the other party, but the following words caused his expression to change drastically.
“First time meeting, I am a servant of the Eastern Glorious Immortal Emperor... You were summoned here from Earth by the Emperor for many years now, little one. Do you want to return to your home planet? Although you seem well-developed, your current strength may still be insufficient to fulfill the Emperor’s wish of defeating the Demon Lord.”
Lin Jing was deeply shocked. It was the first time his identity as a transmigrator had been exposed.
“Earth, the ancient immortal world where immortal energy withered and is gradually reviving. The Emperor’s hometown. Like the Demon Race’s Demon Star Plan, the Emperor also summoned several people from Earth and sent them to the lower realms. Congratulations, you are one of the three survivors. Everyone from the ancient immortal world sent to the lower realm is a Longevity Body. It’s extremely difficult to survive. In any case, the time has come. The Emperor intends to have you return to the ancient immortal world to find and merge with something for the final battle.”
“One day in the ancient immortal world equals one year in the lower realm. After you return, you might even see your relatives again. Prepare yourself.”
Lin Jing remained silent.
After transmigrating for several hundred years, you tell me I can still go back to Earth?
