Vol 5 Chapter 75: Sixty Years Cycle
"But speaking of which, this cultivation thod relies more on the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse and its Glazed Immortal Eye. The one undergoing arduous cultivation is it, not . Enhancing the Glazed Immortal Eye was originally necessary to revive the Fuzzy Immortal. So what about ? I should find sothing to do as well."
Lin Jing continued gazing at the sky.
"How not to waste these ten thousand years? Alternatively, what if I could compress ten thousand years into one thousand?"
"The Origin Realm will produce three types of Origin Sources in total - once every ten, hundred, and thousand years. If I could accelerate their ergence, having ordinary Origin Sources appear yearly and premium ones every century..." Lin Jing recalled the Golden Age triggered by the Golden Bell in the Tianyuan Realm, which essentially squeezed the realm's potential to accelerate spiritual energy eruptions. Could the sa principle apply to hastening Origin Sources' gestation in this realm?
"Got it."
Lin Jing chuckled, having found a direction - the Dao of Thunder! The Dao of Ti!
Not that he genuinely intended to accelerate Origin Source gestation - that would undoubtedly require manipulating the entire Origin Realm's temporal flow, an impossibly difficult feat. He simply needed a goal to occupy himself during the long years ahead. The profound Dao of Ti, considered the pinnacle among all paths, would be challenging even for a cultivator given ten thousand years.
Studying temporal arts seed an excellent way to pass ti. Coincidentally, he possessed a malfunctioning Hourglass of Ti and a Ti Dao Immortal Banner for research. With ti abundant, Lin Jing decided to focus his efforts here.
"The Ice Soul Gu's Dao Fruit technique might also assist my temporal studies..."
......
After the millennium Origin Source's gestation, the Origin Realm entered temporary tranquility.
The teor Spirit Beast's activities remained unknown, while the Sea Spirit Beast convalesced from severe injuries sustained when Lin Jing intercepted it - though his own Celestial Beast abode suffered critical damage requiring daily nding through spatial stitching techniques, its combat readiness still uncertain.
News of the millennium Origin Source's final disposition spread routinely to the Pangu Continent and Heavenly Demon Realm.
Yang Lin barely entered the Origin Realm before Zhou Banxian furiously expelled him. With Xianlin City's resources depleted and the next century/millennium Origin Sources distant, the temporary absence of a city lord mattered little.
"Worthless! Absolutely worthless! That Lin Jing clearly played you! If he genuinely intended to surrender premium Origin Sources, why hasn't Tianyuan Realm contacted the Cultivation Alliance yet?"
"That Lin Jing has probably already colluded with that teor Spirit Beast!"
Zhou Banxian fud at Lin Jing's audacity. Yang Lin prostrated himself in terror, fearing his master's wrath. Though possessing an Innate Immortal Physique, to a peak expert like Zhou Banxian, an undeveloped immortal physique ant nothing - easily crushed with one slap.
"Your punishnt: the Heavenly Demon Battlefield. Don't return until you've slain one hundred Void Mystical Stage demons."
"Yes." Grateful to escape alive, Yang Lin retreated shafacedly. Zhou Banxian's expression darkened - Lin Jing must die. Within a century, he must nurture a prodigy rivaling Li Tianyi to manage affairs in the Origin Realm. His current disciples proved utterly incompetent against Lin Jing...
anwhile, the Heavenly Demon Sect also stirred. Having expended minimal resources to send a single Dao-seeking cultivator who failed to kill Mo Yu, the sect faced unprecedented internal strife, uncertain how to eliminate this threat.
After heated debates, three factions erged:
First, so elders argued Mo Yu's rare demonic lineage and potential made him ideal for recruitnt. Losing one Sacred Son and a peripheral Dao-seeker was trivial - greater sincerity might genuinely convert him.
Second, others insisted no matter how strong, Mo Yu couldn't withstand overwhelming numbers. More assassins would surely eliminate him.
Third, so proposed Nascent Soul and Void Mystical cultivators could never truly oppose Dao-seekers. Better to deduce Mo Yu's Tianyuan Realm origins and kill him after he leaves the Origin Realm.
Each faction had supporters, but ultimately the sect attempted the first approach - until Mo Yu (Lin Jing's incarnation) slaughtered their envoy.
"Invite into the sect? With such 'sincerity'? Offering a Sacred Son position and Demon Emperor's tutorship while demanding I surrender the Ti Dao Immortal Banner as loyalty proof? Pathetic."
Lin Jing remained unmoved. Enraged but preoccupied with invading cultivation realms and battling the Cultivation Alliance, the sect lacked resources for direct confrontation. They turned to demonic divination experts to trace Mo Yu's origins - an endeavor requiring significant ti even for masters.
*Rumors say the Limitless Immortal captured by Sacred Son Sheng Kun recently appeared on Pangu Continent. Since Mo Yu deceived her initially, capturing her might reveal more about him...
The following decade saw neither the Heavenly Demon Sect nor Cultivation Alliance send powerful talents into the Origin Realm. As Lin Jing anticipated, Tianyuan Realm also failed to dispatch beast masters - with the Beast Master Sect's leader having only recently reached Nascent Soul Transformation, few Nascent Soul beast taming disciples could enter. Even talents from other factions needed ti to retrain.
Moreover, activating inter-realm teleportation arrays heavily taxed Dao-seekers while requiring constant maintenance, forcing Lin Jing to wait patiently.
The first decade concluded with another ordinary Origin Source's ergence. Though Sheng Kun and Li Tianyi were absent, neither the teor Spirit Beast nor the still-recovering Sea Spirit Beast intervened - the forr knowing Lin Jing had claid it, the latter not yet healed from injuries sustained ten years prior.
Lin Jing essentially replaced Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun's roles, remaining behind the scenes while dispatching Heaven-Earth Sect spirits, the Pine Leaf Mouse, and Dragon Carp to harvest Origin Sources on his behalf.
This pattern continued for sixty years until Lin Jing secured all six ordinary Origin Sources. Just as he grew puzzled by Tianyuan Realm's prolonged silence regarding beast masters, finally an envoy arrived - alone, save for a fox demon companion.
Ouyang Hao, now at early-stage Nascent Soul Transformation after years apart.
"Junior brother, disaster strikes!"
"Tianyuan Realm faces catastrophe!"
"The Dao-seekers sent ahead with news to ease your concerns."
