Vol 5 Chapter 67: Damned Immortal Source
After successfully obtaining the Star Heaven Veil Array from the teor Spirit Beast, an array capable of altering the fate of Tianyuan Realm, Lin Jing couldn't help but sche in his heart.
"To maintain this massive array, we'll need to acquire every single Origin Source that erges in the Origin Realm from now on."
"I hope the Cultivation Alliance and Heavenly Demon Sect send fewer geniuses like Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun. Dealing with them is quite troubleso."
"What a pity. If only I could subdue the Sea Spirit Beast as well, then my position as ruler of the Origin Realm would be truly secure. I might even be able to operate from the shadows."
However, just thinking about it made Lin Jing realize the Sea Spirit Beast would likely be even harder to subdue. His alliance with the teor Spirit Beast had only been possible thanks to the Fuzzy Immortal's assistance. Otherwise, even with Mo Yu's help, a direct confrontation with Star Dust Realm's formations would have brought little benefit.
Although the Sea Spirit Beast lacked the lethal arrays taught by immortals, the entire ocean of Origin Realm was its domain. With oceans covering fifty percent of the Origin Realm's surface, if it retreated into the deep sea, even Lin Jing would have few effective counterasures.
Moreover, according to the teor Spirit Beast, the Sea Spirit Beast likely had no interest in leaving Origin Realm. Its greatest ambition was to reshape the realm back to its original state—a world completely covered by ocean. Therefore, their goals as potential rulers of Origin Realm were in direct conflict.
"Ultimately, it's still a matter of insufficient strength. Otherwise, I could just force it into submission."
Lin Jing returned to his previous cultivation site to await Limitless Immortal's promised gifts.
anwhile, on Pangu Continent...
The sudden return of Limitless Immortal, who had been presud dead, caused quite a stir. Her master, Nine Revolutions Star Monarch—one of the deputy leaders of the Cultivation Alliance—imdiately summoned her to his cave abode.
"This disciple has worried Master." Limitless Immortal knelt on the jade-paved floor, seeking forgiveness from Nine Revolutions Star Monarch.
"I knew you wouldn't die so easily." Nine Revolutions Star Monarch spoke slowly. "I've calculated your fate—it wouldn't end in Origin Realm."
"This disciple was careless. Thanks to Lin Jing from Tianyuan Realm, I managed to escape alive." Limitless Immortal reported everything that happened in Origin Realm truthfully.
"Hmm?"
When Nine Revolutions Star Monarch heard that Mo Yu and Lin Jing were actually the sa person, even soone of his status as deputy leader couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"This brat is truly audacious, infiltrating two major factions simultaneously to enhance his strength."
"And he actually succeeded."
"Indeed." Limitless Immortal couldn't help but sigh. "Sheng Kun must hate him terribly."
Nine Revolutions Star Monarch chuckled. "Tianyuan Realm still hasn't contacted the Cultivation Alliance. It seems Lin Jing's talent and potential have given them other ambitions."
"They want to position themselves between the Cultivation Alliance and Heavenly Demon Sect to claim Origin Realm's riches. They're playing with fire!"
Nine Revolutions Star Monarch looked at Limitless Immortal. "But this doesn't concern us. Send soone to deliver the promised immortal rits and artifacts to Lin Jing in Origin Realm, then stay out of Origin Realm's conflicts. You're my only disciple. Now that you've strengthened yourself with Origin Sources, let Zhou Banxian deal with Origin Realm's headaches."
"The Void Mystical Stage is key to Seeking the Way. You should begin closed-door cultivation imdiately. With the lower realms growing increasingly chaotic, it's best you reach Seeking the Way sooner rather than later. Don't rush to seek revenge against Sheng Kun either—focus first on improving your own strength!"
"Don't concern yourself with the Heavenly Demon Sect's planned invasion of Tianyuan Realm either. If Tianyuan Realm wants help, they'll contact the Cultivation Alliance through Lin Jing. Clearly, Tianyuan Realm wants minimal entanglent with us—they might already have strategies against the Heavenly Demon Sect. Let's see whether Tianyuan Realm is playing with fire or can actually take a bite from between two major powers."
"Everything as Master commands." Limitless Immortal nodded.
Not long after, in the Heavenly Demon Sect...
News arrived that Sheng E had been killed while attempting to assassinate Mo Yu.
"That useless trash!" One demonic emperor after another expressed extre disappointnt in Sheng E while seeking new ways to deal with Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's strength had been completely reevaluated by the Heavenly Demon Sect—he was no longer soone ordinary sacred sons could eliminate.
"There's only one thod left."
Years passed in the blink of an eye.
During this ti, Limitless Immortal kept her promise, sending the promised immortal rits and artifacts to Lin Jing.
However, with the Star Heaven Veil Array now in hand, these items weren't as urgently needed anymore.
As the millennium approached for the next Immortal Source's birth, undercurrents stirred among all factions. Lin Jing returned to Nethersoil, quietly awaiting this critical day.
"What a pity." Lin Jing still felt so regret. He had thought the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse's bloodline could ascend to Immortal Beast level before the millennium Immortal Source's birth, but had underestimated the difficulty of achieving Immortal Beast bloodline.
Immortal Beast bloodlines differed from immortal physiques. While immortal physiques were considered destined paths to immortality, this destiny only applied to the physique's original bearer—the chance of passing it to descendants was extrely slim.
But Immortal Beast bloodlines were different. Demonic Beasts could pass their bloodlines to offspring. As long as an Immortal Beast bloodline bearer was willing to expend so origin power, their descendants could also possess immortal-grade bloodlines.
This inheritability made advancing to Immortal Beast bloodline far more difficult than achieving a Postnatal Immortal Physique. However, once achieved, an Immortal Beast bloodline's power vastly surpassed most immortal physiques, approaching the might of top-tier physiques. This was also why Immortal Beasts were far rarer than immortal physiques.
"At least the incarnation has grown stronger." Through the Dao Fruit technique, Mo Yu continuously extracted and assimilated Sheng E's Heavenly Demon techniques, significantly enhancing his Heavenly Demon Finger and Heavenly Demon Crossing abilities.
Lin Jing gazed at the sky as ti slowly passed.
Crack!
On this day, a resounding immortal tone echoed across the realm, accompanied by radiant immortal light. The gaze of all in Origin Realm focused in one direction—the birthplace of the Premium Immortal Source.
Beyond the immortal source's birth cry, Lin Jing also heard an enormous "What the fuck?!"
Above Nethersoil, Lady Nethersoil stared dumbfounded at the gradually forming Immortal Source in the sky, shouting Lin Jing's title: "Sect Master! Damn it all, this ti the Immortal Source is forming right above ! Sect Master, what do we do? How do we handle this?"
"In all my years, I've never encountered anything like this!"
Lin Jing also watched the forming Premium Immortal Source with silent bewildernt, unsure whether this was good or bad luck.
The fortunate aspect was the Immortal Source's proximity—if they wanted to seize it, they held absolute geographical advantage.
The unfortunate aspect was his original plan to arrive late intentionally, coincidentally encountering the Sea Spirit Beast to annoy it while letting the teor Spirit Beast claim the Immortal Source.
But now, with this damned Immortal Source forming right over their territory, how could he pretend to be late?
The difficulty level had skyrocketed...
Moreover, Nethersoil territory was filled with spirit creature children, infants, and babies. Fighting here risked harming these little ones.
"All Heaven-Earth Sect mbers, evacuate the children first."
