"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, please spare my life!"
The remnant soul of the Immortal saw the failure of his possession attempt, and Lin Jing even had ways to harm his immortal soul, so he imdiately began to beg for rcy.
His heart was bitter; he had just managed to awaken, and how did he encounter such a nesis as soon as he woke up?
Had it been any other holder of the jade, he would have successfully possessed them.
"Spare your life?" Lin Jing was expressionless: "Give a reason to spare your life."
"A reason..."
"Earlier, you intended to possess . It was out of survival instinct when your consciousness was unclear, and you did not harm , so I can overlook that."
"But you made waste immortal power to defend myself. You need to compensate for this loss; otherwise, I can only refine your remnant soul into a soul pill to make up for my loss of immortal power."
The remnant soul of the Immortal understood.
The nesis before him simply wanted treasures.
The problem was... he had no treasures.
Lin Jing stared at the remnant soul. Although he was a native earthling, he actually knew little about Earth’s secrets.
This remnant soul of the Immortal was probably a cultivator from the ancient Immortal Realm, so he must know quite a bit about the situation on Earth.
Perhaps, he could extract so key information from his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist, look at now, what inheritance do I have left?"
The remnant soul spoke with a tone of sadness: "But I rember my father was very powerful. Maybe you can take to find my father, and he would surely reward you generously..."
Lin Jing grabbed him tightly, using a slight amount of force, making the remnant soul cry out.
"Who is your father?"
"Uh, I forgot, I forgot, but he should be very powerful. As long as we et again, I should be able to rember."
"Forgotten..." Lin Jing released him. It made sense; after all, only a remnant soul was left. However, even Earth’s last cultivator to beco an Immortal ended up as an Immortal Emperor, so this remnant soul’s father was probably long gone.
"And those Immortal Techniques, what do you still know?"
"Also forgotten..."
Lin Jing fell silent for a mont, deciding to refine him instead.
"However, don’t rush, I still rember so things. When the End of Dharma Era arrived, most cultivators left. Do you know why I didn’t leave? Moreover, how I survived from such an ancient era until now."
"Speak."
"The Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, the Celestial Emperor’s inheritance, do you want it?"
"I know the location of the tomb of a certain generation of the ancient Celestial Emperor!"
"When the End of Dharma Era arrived, the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb was left unguarded. The various mystical properties of the Immortal Tomb, influenced by the Power of Heaven and Earth, will gradually weaken too."
"The reason I didn’t leave with the majority was to take a gamble, to bet that the defense of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb would beco nearly non-existent, and see if there were any treasures worth taking inside..."
So, he’s a tomb robber...
"Trying to steal from the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb, how foolish can you be? It seems you failed, right?"
"Now you even want to deceive into following your old path."
"Heh heh..." The remnant soul quickly added: "It wasn’t a complete failure, to be precise, not entirely a failure!!!"
"Affected by the End of Dharma, the various mystical properties of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb indeed dissipated, like the colossal golem that guarded the tomb, they all turned into scrap iron over ti, losing their Immortal God Power."
"Unfortunately, affected by the Power of Heaven and Earth, my cultivation continuously declined. I had to seal myself. Before sealing, I took an expired Immortal Pill, which allowed to last this long. That pill was one of the burial items I obtained from the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb!"
"Although I didn’t manage to enter the main tomb, I did reach the outskirts!"
"It seems that the ti was still too long, my physical body had decayed, and my soul was reduced to just a broken wisp."
This remnant soul of the Immortal only rembers these things. It seems that his stubborn attempts to rob the tomb before sealing beca an obsession, making him rember only related matters.
"Still sowhat useful..." Lin Jing was relieved. At least he would get so gains, he knew that there must be many good things on Earth.
The Celestial Emperor’s Tomb.
"However..."
"My cultivation isn’t high. How could I dare to covet the treasures in the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb? Do you want to go on a death mission? It seems I’ll have to refine you instead."
Lin Jing wasn’t planning to take part in tomb raiding, primarily fearing death. Even if the mystical properties of the Immortal Tomb were gone, it was still the tomb of the Celestial Emperor. He wasn’t even in the Immortal Realm yet; if sothing went wrong, he would die without a proper burial.
"Ow, no, no." Seeing Lin Jing grab his remnant soul again, about to scatter it, the remnant soul panicked.
"Sorry, sorry, I admit, earlier I intended to kill you, leaving you to die in the tomb. I have a safe thod to enter the tomb, a safe one!!!"
"As long as you promise not to kill , and help reform my body, I’ll reveal the safe thod to enter the tomb!!"
Lin Jing continued to grasp him.
"The Immortal Tomb has a kind of sentience. If it’s an ordinary tomb raider, it will naturally retaliate completely."
"However, during the Celestial Emperor’s reign, there were countless descendants. If one of the Celestial Emperor’s descendants, during the End of Dharma Era, sought their ancestor’s protection, trying to take so treasures to survive the era, the tomb’s aggressiveness would significantly decrease!"
"I rely rembered that my family was related to the Celestial Emperor’s family, and it was precisely this identity that allowed to obtain so of the burial items from the periphery, allowing to last until now..."
"So..."
"So, as long as you help reform my body, I can, on your behalf, first go to the Immortal Tomb to fetch treasures, and we’ll split them fifty-fifty."
"You’re still plotting against , it seems you should just dissipate."
"Ahhh... how about seventy-thirty, you seventy, thirty."
Lin Jing’s only advantage over this guy was having immortal power, capable of scattering the remnant soul, while the latter was in an extrely weakened state.
If he helped him reform his body, and if his realm was much higher than Lin Jing’s own, who knew if he could counter-kill Lin Jing. Therefore, Lin Jing had to keep him in the remnant soul state.
"There is another thod, if you don’t trust , we can try our luck."
"If there still exists a Celestial Emperor bloodline in the world, you can cultivate soone anew, letting them explore the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb. I have a way to help you identify if a person possesses similar blood to the Celestial Emperor."
"Even if their bloodline is diluted to a re hint of a connection, as their cultivation progresses, this connection will grow stronger. The Celestial Emperor’s palace had three billion concubines, and the bloodline spans both the immortal and mortal realms. It’s entirely possible..."
"Let’s do as you say, work well for . If I truly obtain a treasure, reforming your flesh is a small matter."
"But before that, do you rember the location of the Celestial Emperor’s Tomb? If you dare say you forgot, I’ll refine your soul directly, searching remnant soul mories myself."
"I rember." The remnant soul cried, why talk about refining souls at the drop of a hat.
So many years past, has the future cultivation world environnt deteriorated to such a degree?
