Immortal through Beast Taming

The Celestial Essence Continent is facing an impending catastrophe...

This sentence, coming from the mouth of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, always gave the Lord of the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor, a sense of confusion when reminding themselves.

"You are possessed by a Heart Demon."

Her first thought wasn't to believe Lin Jing, but rather to think that Lin Jing had deviated in his cultivation.

After all, having cultivated the Ghostfire Technique and Celestial Demon Divine Sense, Lin Jing had killed many people.

Such a strong person's resentment before dying would definitely turn into a Heart Demon, interfering with Lin Jing's cultivation.

After the battle at Heaven-Reaching City ended, the Demon Emperor once inquired about Lin Jing's state.

However, Lin Jing claimed to have Buddhist Technique by his side, making it difficult for Heart Demons to interfere with him.

But now it seems, the Saint Heir might still have problems.

The Demon Emperor felt... she might need to take the Saint Heir to the Western Desert, to have the Buddha at the Sun Temple perform a baptism for Lin Jing.

"Come."

With a wave of his arm, the Demon Emperor immediately used a spatial Divine Technique to summon Lin Jing from the edge of Qingzhou to his presence.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Lin Jing slightly bowed, only to see the Demon Emperor scrutinizing him, then slowly said, "You don't seem to have any issues."

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I have an item for you to examine," Lin Jing also knew his claims were bizarre, so he straightforwardly took out a crystal.

"A Yijing Crystal?" Upon receiving the crystal, the Demon Emperor recognized what it was—a materialization of memory, allowing one to vicariously experience and view certain memory fragments.

Initially, the Demon Emperor's expression didn't change upon obtaining the Yijing Crystal.

Through this Yijing Crystal, from the perspective of a member of the Fox Demon Race, she saw a Cultivation Realm known as "Meteor Sea."

This Meteor Sea, belonging to a plane below the Immortal Realm, was unlike other Cultivation Realms as it was a no-man's-land, belonging to no Immortal Realm power.

Yet at the same time, it was most closely connected with the Immortal Realm, the nearest place to it.

Nonetheless, this did not lead to better development for Meteor Sea, as the environment is harsh, with constant disasters, making it unsuitable for cultivation and survival.

Ultimately, it was used specifically for disposing of filthy, cursed, and toxic pollutants from the Immortal Realm, with Immortals tossing such waste into it as a way to dispose of them.

When some Immortals offended major powers in the Immortal Realm, they would choose to sever their Immortal Lifes, revert to mortal form, and escape to the closest Meteor Sea below.

Thus this place is also referred to as the "Immortal Realm's Garbage Dump."

Though polluted and filthy, many powerful beings from the lower realms also come here to hunt for treasures. Although theoretically garbage, it is Immortal Realm garbage. Over time, a group of scavengers gathers here too.

The owner of the memory is a Demon Beast born in Meteor Sea.

In this Meteor Sea, the beast struggled, ultimately using great luck to cultivate to the Inquiring Dao stage.

Here, he witnessed countless powerful figures from other Cultivation Realms and observed the downfall of many Cultivation Realms from this place.

He also learned many Immortal Realm secrets untouchable by many Inquiring Dao mighty figures in normal Cultivation Realms.

Including the reasons many Cultivation Realms could not ascend!

And the truth behind all this, the ambition of the Celestial Demon Sect!

However, according to memory, the Meteor Sea seems not to be among the Cultivation Realms that cannot ascend...

Because of its unique geography, it allows bypassing heavenly tribulation to smuggle into the Immortal Realm, yet this smuggling process is more terrifying than the Ascension tribulation itself. Even if surviving nine deaths to successfully smuggle and ascend, since it's a smuggle to the upper realm, it does not undergo the Immortal Realm's passage baptism, nor does it advance to True Immortal.

One must continue cultivating slowly in the Cultivation Realm... Moreover, since smugglers are not subsidiary Cultivation Realms of the Immortal Realm, they've ascended as Loose Cultivators, with no fixed point of return, making it very dangerous.

Thus generally, in non-extreme scenarios, no one chooses to ascend in the Meteor Sea.

And this Fox Demon Race, chased by powerful enemies with no choice, opted for this extreme method to ascend and evade enemies, being both unfortunate and fortunate in preserving a wisp of residual soul amidst void currents without completely perishing and escaping out.

Eventually, it drifted near the Celestial Essence Realm...

Countless years later, it coincidentally met the Guardian God of the Beast Taming Sect, who mistakenly entered the void because of a great shift event.

Until the Guardian God returned with the information gathered from the demon's residual soul.

"The Immortal Realm's Garbage Dump Meteor Sea,

disconnecting the channel between upper and lower realms, attempting to annex and refine all lower realms' Celestial Demon Sect,

the path of ascension..." the Demon Emperor said casually.

"No wonder..." This was her first time hearing about the peculiar Meteor Sea star region, but even the first time hearing, she believed in its existence.

Because of the First Ancient Emperor...

Back then, the First Ancient Emperor was far from the end of his lifespan, yet he fully trained the Second Ancient Emperor and handed the Ancient Country to him.

Many speculated that the First Ancient Emperor intended to enter a death seclusion and try to ascend.

Some speculated the First Ancient Emperor already ascended.

Few knew, the Ancient Emperor actually forcefully passed through the Celestial Essence Realm Wall to enter the starry sky.

Now, the Demon Emperor suspected the First Ancient Emperor went to great lengths to break through to go, perhaps due to obtaining the Meteor Sea intelligence after extinguishing the Celestial Demon Sect, intending to go there to try to ascend.

However, the Demon Emperor didn't need to think to know the First Ancient Emperor's journey was fraught with death; to say nothing of successfully ascending in Meteor Sea, even finding it in the boundless starry sky would be an immense challenge.

Without definite coordinates, such actions resembled finding a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention the Meteor Sea; even encountering another Cultivation Realm might still be highly improbable, as each Cultivation Realm has its Realm Wall, difficult to exit, harder to enter, concurrently serving as a protective layer, allowing Cultivation Realms to be hidden amidst the starry sky, avoiding discovery by star-thirsty beasts...

"Turns out the Celestial Essence Realm cannot ascend because of the Celestial Demon Sect's scheming."

"This way, it makes sense," the Demon Emperor analyzed, "Rumor has it, some stars in the starry sky are formed from fallen Immortals, conducting Divine Technique legacies. And the appearance of these stars precisely follows the inability to ascend from the lower realms."

"Previously, this Emperor was puzzled as to why Immortals would transmit Divine Techniques in this way. Thus, is there a possibility that some Immortals in the Immortal Realm are using this method to bolster the lower realms' strength, aiding them in resisting the Celestial Demon Sect's invasion, at worst, stalling them, and not allowing the Celestial Demon Sect to succeed quickly, until the Immortal Realm solves the Demon Lord, resolves all root causes."

"Only this makes this Emperor suspicious: why only Demon Beasts can inherit Immortal Divine Techniques... Is it possible that this cross-realm technique transmission was orchestrated by a mighty Demon Immortal from the Immortal Realm?"
