Vol 6 Chapter 65: Teleport Him Over
One year later.
Immortal Descent Realm.
According to ancient legends, a great immortal from the Immortal Realm once had a sudden whim to preach the Dao to all the cultivators of this realm.
Every cultivator dreamed of a majestic giant explaining the Dao to them, and then, they woke up.
After waking from the dream, the cultivators of this realm had only one feeling - they completely failed to understand what was being said.
What was all that gibberish about?
Nevertheless, this immortal miracle was forever engraved in the memories of this realm's cultivators, who renamed their world Immortal Descent, hoping this immortal would preach again and impart some supernatural powers more suitable for the Lower Realm that were easier to understand.
At the same time, this realm was also one of the alliance realms of the Cultivation Alliance, with its strongest cultivator being Daoist Idle Cloud.
On this day, Daoist Idle Cloud, who was in secluded cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing an extremely shocked expression as he sensed an overwhelmingly terrifying aura easily crossing the realm barrier and entering Immortal Descent from the star realm.As the only cultivator in this realm who had survived the ascension tribulation, his expression turned grave as he steeled himself to confront the intruder, while simultaneously instructing his disciples to be ready at any moment to seek help from the Cultivation Alliance through the cross-realm teleportation array.
The visitor's intentions were unclear... friend or foe... completely unknown.
A moment later, Daoist Idle Cloud saw the cultivator who had descended into this realm. It was a young man, yet his entire body exuded an aura of decrepitude, with flowing white hair that made him seem less like a youth and more like an old man approaching his life's end.
The white-haired youth raised his head and looked at the cultivator who had appeared before him. The moment their eyes met, Daoist Idle Cloud felt as if he had already died - his body, spiritual power, and primordial spirit... all extinguished.
Only when this white-haired youth spoke did Daoist Idle Cloud regain the feeling of being alive, discovering the return of his vitality.
Cold sweat dripped down his back.
"This realm... should have a cross-realm teleportation array leading to the Cultivation Alliance, correct?"
"Y-yes, Senior," Daoist Idle Cloud swallowed hard. Was he here for the cross-realm teleportation array?
"I wish to borrow the cross-realm teleportation array to send me to Pangu Continent."
"Senior..." Daoist Idle Cloud said nervously, "The cross-realm teleportation array cannot be activated directly. We need to first report to the Cultivation Alliance, and only after they permit the teleportation can the array be activated. Every cultivator entering Pangu Continent needs to have their identity verified..."
"Just tell them my name."
"They will let me pass," the white-haired youth said indifferently.
"Might I ask which senior you are..."
Daoist Idle Cloud breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this senior should also be from the Cultivation Alliance, probably having arrived here accidentally and wanting to use Immortal Descent Realm's teleportation array to return to Pangu Continent!
If that were the case, then Immortal Descent Realm faced no danger.
"You can say that you've captured Lin Jing, who is currently wanted by the Cultivation Alliance, and are transporting me back to Pangu Continent," Lin Jing smiled, and this smile instantly froze Daoist Idle Cloud's expression, leaving him utterly horrified.
He hadn't noticed earlier, but upon careful observation, Daoist Idle Cloud realized that except for the hair color, the person before him looked exactly like the portrait on the All Realms wanted notice issued a thousand years ago!
In an instant, Daoist Idle Cloud's throat became extremely dry.
The person before his eyes... was that enemy of all realms who had offended both the Cultivation Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Realm... Lin Jing?
When had he... emerged from the Origin Realm?
And why had he come to Immortal Descent Realm, and moreover...
"Hurry up and go," Lin Jing's single command immediately shook Daoist Idle Cloud's spirit, causing his mind to roar.
"This junior will go immediately."
He didn't understand, he simply couldn't comprehend - just by meeting his gaze, he could tell that this Origin Realm overlord Lin Jing could probably kill him with a single look.
Lin Jing watched Daoist Idle Cloud's retreating back and followed after him.
It had been quite some time since his battle with Demon Emperor Tianchou. During this period, he had been recovering from his injuries while simultaneously comprehending the gains from that battle.
Though it seemed like just over a year, through the Time Dao formation, it had actually been over a century of secluded cultivation.
Right after the battle ended, Lin Jing had only felt that the consumption was too great, the damage too severe, with nearly two-thirds of his lifespan wiped out.
However, after the battle concluded, Lin Jing discovered that there were losses and gains. Burning through two-thirds of his Longevity Immortal Physique's lifespan in a short time, which turned his hair white overnight, had unexpectedly caused his Life-Death Primordial Spirit to undergo transformation. The power of death rapidly multiplied due to the consumption of life force, allowing Lin Jing to enter an enlightenment state while healing, gaining completely new insights into the essence of death.
He directly sealed away most of his remaining lifespan, keeping it at a hundred-year limit, to continue experiencing the feeling of impending death.
Besides this, after this battle, if he entered that state again, Lin Jing wouldn't find it as strenuous. Through various adjustments and integration, he had transformed this killing move into a state he could enter at any time with reduced consumption.
Of course, the greatest harvest still came from Demon Emperor Tianchou.
After the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse ultimately killed her in his place, it maintained the good habit of looting corpses and retrieved the only storage pouch of Demon Emperor Tianchou that hadn't been damaged.
Inside this storage pouch was a bottle of pills bestowed by the upper realm to "Demon Generals."
There were eight pills in total.
Although his incarnation with demonic race bloodline wasn't nearby, Lin Jing could tell at a glance that these pills were the key for ordinary demonic race bloodlines to evolve toward royal blood demonic race bloodlines!
"Sheng Kun said that demonic race cultivators in the Lower Realm don't have royal blood - they're all ordinary bloodlines. This indicates that even the Six Great Demon Generals only have perfected ordinary demonic race bloodlines. But now it seems it's probably not that the Heavenly Demon Sect from the Immortal Realm is too stingy to bestow royal bloodlines, but that royal bloodlines are too difficult to cultivate. The most the upper realm Heavenly Demon Sect can do is distribute these demon pills for bloodline cultivation to those with certain talent and potential, such as demonic race cultivators who can obtain the Demon General title."
"If my judgment isn't wrong, this bottle of pills should originally have contained more than eight. Demon Emperor Tianchou must have consumed at least one... Anyway, this bottle of pills will benefit me next."
"What a pity, what a pity. If I had known earlier that I could obtain such good items, I should have left the Dragon Carp on Earth rather than my incarnation."
...........
Meanwhile.
Daoist Idle Cloud had already unilaterally transmitted the request to activate the teleportation array through the cross-realm teleportation array.
Pangu Continent.
The cross-realm teleportation arrays connecting to various realms were primarily managed by Ten Thousand Spirits Taoist Nun, with many deputy alliance leaders assisting. The person responsible for the Immortal Descent Realm teleportation array was Ten Thousand Spirits Taoist Nun's ninety-first disciple, Xie Lingyun.
When this female disciple received the cross-realm teleportation request from Immortal Descent Realm, she immediately began the approval process, but upon seeing the content, her expression changed instantly.
"Lin Jing from the Origin Realm has appeared in Immortal Descent, requesting to use the teleportation array to come to Pangu Continent? Is this a joke?"
She doubted whether she had misread something and immediately notified Deputy Alliance Leader Zhou Banxian of the Cultivation Alliance, because Zhou Banxian had previously ordered that if Lin Jing was discovered leaving the Origin Realm, he should be informed immediately!
"Lin Jing??"
"Whether it's true or false, get him teleported here!"
