Beast Tamer Ascension
Book 4: Chapter 107: Reunion

Vol 4 Chapter 107: Reunion

Upon hearing this, the Tianming Realm prodigies' expressions changed. “Soul-Burial Valley” was one of Tianming’s forbidden zones— even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage entering it faced near-certain death.

“If you can’t even conquer the Soul-Burial Valley, then forget about entering the Origin Realm.”

“According to reports from disciples who returned from the Origin Realm, even Shangguan Ao, who attained an acquired Immortal Physique, didn’t gain much of an edge against the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators!” The Immortal Palace Grand Elder spoke coldly. “If you go, you’ll just end up as nourishment for those demonic cultivators!”

“Even Immortal Physiques…” Yue E blurted out instinctively in shock. After all, in their understanding, an Immortal Physique was virtually invincible in the lower realms.

Senior Brother Shangguan may have had only an acquired Immortal Physique, but still—surely no ordinary divine physique could compare…

“Immortal Physiques are not invincible.”

“The true core members of the Heavenly Demon Sect receive ‘Demon Blood’ from the upper realm Heavenly Demon Sect, transforming them into ‘Demonic Race’. The Demonic Race is a major race in the Immortal Realm. Their leaders are powerful elders known as Demon Lords. With Demon Race bloodlines, cultivating Heavenly Demon techniques becomes far easier. When the bloodline is pure enough, its power can rival even Immortal Physiques.”

“If we could still connect with the Immortal Palace of the Immortal Realm, you might even get a chance to encounter the power of these upper-realm races. But for now...”

“Don’t let the lower realm limit your perspective. Go spend some time in the Soul-Burial Valley and temper yourselves.” The Grand Elder’s tone was indifferent. “Let’s hope you don’t disappoint the Immortal Palace a second time.”

——

Tianyuan Realm.

Lin Jing and the others also stepped out of the Small World.

Tongtian Tower.

As Du Zao exited, he immediately saw the Tower Master’s avatar and the Spirit of the Immortal Pill waiting outside the light pillar. He never expected his master to personally wait for his return!

“That was the Two-World Small World?” the Tongtian Tower Master looked at Du Zao.

“You don’t even have a scratch on you. Don’t tell me you surrendered right away?” the Pill Spirit mocked with disdain. “Even if pill refiners aren’t great at fighting, giving up without even trying? You’ve embarrassed the Tianyuan Realm and the Tongtian Tower!”

“Disciple... disciple... I really don’t know how to explain this…” Du Zao looked helpless.

“The Holy Son of the Demon Court was also chosen to enter the Small World. He borrowed my battle slot for his beast.”

Tongtian Tower Master, Pill Spirit: …

It’s him again.

——

Tianyuan Ancient City, Third Prince’s Mansion.

Seeing his elder brother—the current top ranker on the Genius Ranking, the Ancient Crown Prince—Third Prince felt a guilty chill.

“Two-World Small World…” the Crown Prince stared at the Third Prince. “Don’t tell me you lost. There’s no way to explain that to Father.”

“Don’t worry, big brother. I didn’t lose…” The Third Prince scratched his head awkwardly. “But I didn’t win either. I ran into the Demon Court’s crown prince. He… kind of singlehandedly took out all the Tianming Realm’s prodigies. Gotta admit, he’s pretty strong. But compared to you, big brother, he’s still a step behind.”

“You’re talking about Lin Jing??” The Crown Prince’s brows furrowed—he’d heard a name he really didn’t want to hear. His gaze turned sharper as he stared at the Third Prince.

“Spill everything.”

——

Heaven's Secrets Pavilion, Heavenly Sword Sect...

In Qingzhou and beyond, Lin Jing’s Small World light pillar had also attracted crowds of powerhouses. But when the light faded, Lin Jing was nowhere to be found.

He had used illusion techniques to hide himself and slipped away leisurely. Once he was far from the crowds, he summoned the Dragon Carp.

“Use the Nether Immortal Flame to produce a clone flame and send it to that alchemist in Tongtian Tower.”

“Croak~~” The Dragon Carp nodded and quickly condensed one, shaping it into a lotus flower…

The fiery lotus seemed to have a will of its own, flying off in the direction of the Tongtian Tower.

Aside from placing the Demon Court Holy Son’s token inside, there were no other escort measures.

A celestial flame sent by the Demon Court’s Holy Son—no cultivator in the Tianyuan Realm would dare intercept or steal it.

“Croak…” After laboriously condensing another celestial flame, the Dragon Carp panted and handed over the golden core refined from Zhuo Mu. It asked: how do you use this thing???

It hadn’t used much effort to heal injuries during the fight. It was nearly drained instead from refining its opponent.

“This thing, huh?” Lin Jing took the Rare Beast Golden Core and said, “This pill will definitely grant a huge boost in cultivation, but…”

He probed it with his spiritual sense and sensed a trace of Rare Beast Origin sealed within the pill!

Just like the time he extracted the Undying Serpent’s Rare Beast Origin—during Zhuo Mu’s refining process, a sliver of his origin should’ve been locked inside this golden core.

If Lin Jing and the Dragon Carp were right, consuming this pill wouldn’t just greatly enhance one’s cultivation—it might also grant a portion of the Rare Beast’s Divine Art.

Just like Ice Soul Gu, who, after absorbing the Undying Serpent’s death origin, gained about 10–20% of its undying power. Though it couldn’t compare to the original Rare Beast’s might, its value was no less than most Divine Physique Pills.

“Croak~” The Dragon Carp looked on eagerly.

Since it refined this thing… and Lin Jing had no interest in eating pills made from humanoid demon beasts… then…

“Let the avatar have it. His cultivation is still low. This should help him catch up. Plus, that irreparable, rapidly worsening power—fits well with Heavenly Demon energy.”

Dragon Carp: ?

“Wait… I thought you didn’t eat pills refined from demon races?” The Dragon Carp was so mad it spoke human.

Lin Jing nodded, “I don’t. My avatar does.”

Dragon Carp: ???

What kind of logic is that!?

“But thinking about it, this hard-to-heal, rapidly deteriorating power might also be perfect for Ice Soul Gu’s poison.”

“Gu poison is already hard to treat—combine it with the Rare Beast Golden Core, and even Seeking the Way cultivators might have trouble dealing with it!” Lin Jing’s eyes lit up.

Hearing this, the Dragon Carp panicked.

Give it to Ice Soul Gu? That thing just absorbed the Undying Beast’s origin to refine an avatar!

Maybe just let the Heavenly Demon avatar have it.

It was worried that Ice Soul Gu might suffer spiritual backlash or bloodline instability from absorbing two Rare Beast powers at once.

“Good point.” Lin Jing put away the Rare Beast Golden Core.

Then he looked toward the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, preparing to rendezvous with his avatar.

———

Lingdao Sect.

When Lin Jing’s main body arrived at the foot of Lingdao Sect’s mountain, his avatar, already waiting there, came up to greet him.

But before the two bodies could joyfully reunite—

The sky swirled and a dragon’s roar echoed through the clouds.

A gallant youth descended, seated atop a flying dragon made of illusory fortune energy, landing outside Lingdao Sect. He stared at Lin Jing.

“Demon Court Holy Son?”

“Crown Prince of the Ancient Kingdom?” Lin Jing looked up, unsure why this guy had come to find him. Of course, if Second Prince Ancient had not paid a ‘protection fee,’ Lin Jing would’ve already gone looking for this guy.

“I’m simply curious. What kind of demonic creature did you use to grant such fortune to that worthless brother of mine that you dare compare yourself to Father the Emperor? Do you have any respect for the Human Emperor at all?”

The Crown Prince’s eyes narrowed. “But this visit isn’t about that…”
