Chapter 481: The Demon Emperor Cultivation Plan

"You mean to say, the resources are all gone, not a single bit left?"

Yang Lin wasn't listening to any of the nonsense Lin Jing was spouting; he just wanted to know if there were any resources left!

"Gone." Lin Jing said with a beaming smile.

"Good, good, good." Yang Lin repeated the word 'good' several times, his expression darkening as he said: "Fine, I can choose not to hold you responsible for misusing the Immortal Treasury's resources."

"However, you must make amends for your faults."

Yang Lin did the math himself; in three years, between Lin Jing embezzling some and distributing the rest to those spirits, it really would have been digested and gone long ago!

Even if he wanted to recover some, it was likely impossible.

A great man knows when to bend and when to stretch. Since the resources couldn't be recovered from the Immortal Treasury, and it was impossible to directly tear off the masks with Lin Jing, the Mother of the Underworld, and the other spirits, he had to find a way to recoup the losses elsewhere. Only then would he not be slapped to death by his master.

"What faults do I have?"

"Fine, you have no faults, you even have merit." Yang Lin gritted his teeth and said: "I have long heard of City Lord Lin's strength. Presumably, in a few years, when the Top-Grade Immortal Source is born, Junior Brother Lin will certainly have a great chance of seizing it!"

"City Lord Lin, do you have any thoughts on the Top-Grade Immortal Source?"

Lin Jing did not deny it: "I do indeed have thoughts on it, and I am planning to seize it."

"That is perfect." Yang Lin said: "I hope that after City Lord Lin seizes the Top-Grade Immortal Source, you can hand it over to me! To be precise, hand it over to the Alliance!"

"Of course, it won't be for free."

"The Alliance will grant City Lord Lin equivalent resources; immortal elixirs, immortal treasures, immortal arts, or even immortal maiden Dao companions are all possible."

"The top-grade immortal energy birthed by this Top-Grade Immortal Source is difficult for ordinary cultivators to utilize. Only by placing it in the hands of my master, Zhou Banxian, can it exert its greatest effect, used to counter the experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"In the past, the Top-Grade Immortal Sources and Precious Immortal Sources seized by the geniuses of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the Source Realm were basically all handed over to the Alliance in exchange for equivalent resources. City Lord Lin has only recently joined the Alliance and may not be very familiar with this rule. I wonder, City Lord Lin, what are your thoughts?"

It seemed the Immortal Treasury resources could not be recovered. Now, Yang Lin's only requirement was to utilize Lin Jing's combat power to seize this Top-Grade Immortal Source. Only then would he have something to report.

And if Lin Jing dared to refuse... it could also help him attract his master's fire.

"I can do that." Lin Jing was still beaming.

"You can?" Yang Lin was stunned; he was so straightforward.

"Yes." Lin Jing said: "Since it is an equivalent exchange, I won't be at a loss, and it will allow the Alliance to better counter the Heavenly Demon Sect. Why wouldn't I do it?"

Yang Lin's eyes suddenly sharpened, suspecting whether Lin Jing was playing some kind of trick. After all, these words didn't sound like something that could come from a beast like Lin Jing who had embezzled the Immortal Treasury.

"Rest assured." Lin Jing smiled slightly, walked past Yang Lin, and said: "Neither I, nor the Tianyuan Realm, have any intention of being enemies with the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. Naturally, I won't do things like losing the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds."

"We will act according to the rules."

Of course, the premise was that he, Lin Jing, could seize it.

…………

Lin Jing was not brushing the other party off. The current situation was already different from the early days.

In the early days, Lin Jing coveted the thousand-year Top-Grade Immortal Source because it had a high probability of helping the Pine-Leaf Rat and the others become Immortal Beasts.

However, after obtaining quite a few ordinary Immortal Sources from the Mother of the Underworld and the Immortal City Treasury, Lin Jing discovered that even without this Top-Grade Immortal Source, they were not very far from becoming Immortal Beasts.

Since that was the case, this Top-Grade Immortal Source was not something he absolutely had to use himself.

If he could exchange it for other more useful good things from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, Lin Jing was not unable to accept that.

However, compared to handing it over to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, Lin Jing actually had other thoughts if he could obtain this Top-Grade Immortal Source.

"The Immortal Cultivation Alliance does not have the coordinates of the Tianyuan Realm. Even if we ignore the Immortal Cultivation Alliance at that time, the Tianyuan Realm won't be affected much."

"However, the Heavenly Demon Sect side truly possesses the coordinates of the Tianyuan Realm, after all, they have already dispatched cultivators in advance."

"Now that I have caused such a big stir in the Source Realm, it might just make the Heavenly Demon Sect notice the Tianyuan Continent in advance."

"Although there are many Dao-Seeking experts in the Tianyuan Continent today, if the Heavenly Demon Sect dispatches Dao-Seeking experts with Demon Clan bloodlines, I'm afraid not many people in the Tianyuan Realm can withstand it."

"The most important purpose for the experts of the Tianyuan Continent to dispatch us to the Source Realm is actually to quickly contact the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and obtain the assistance of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance..."

"But what if we could make the Tianyuan Continent have the ability to counter the Heavenly Demon Sect on its own? Then, wouldn't the Immortal Cultivation Alliance be dispensable?"

Lin Jing walked in the void. As far as he knew, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance could counter the Heavenly Demon Sect mainly because it possessed eleven particularly powerful cultivators, which were the Alliance's Leaders and Deputy Leaders.

In the Tianyuan Continent, there were certainly no cultivators of this level.

The First-Generation Ancient Emperor couldn't do it.

The Demon Emperor couldn't do it either.

But if a cultivator comparable to an Alliance Leader level could be born within the Tianyuan Continent, then there would be no need to worry about the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Besides, choosing to join the Immortal Cultivation Alliance at this time would be more meaningful. Joining directly now, without a decent expert, the Tianyuan Realm would only be considered middle-tier in the Alliance and used as cannon fodder. But if there was an Alliance Leader-level expert, then joining would mean being a high-level decision-maker, and only then could one have real power in the Alliance.

Therefore, Lin Jing now felt that this Top-Grade Immortal

Source, whether he used it himself or took it to exchange for resources with the Alliance, was not the best choice.

"The Demon Emperor."

"The Demon Emperor is a Precious Beast, possessing combat-type Precious Beast divine abilities, and her strength is astonishing. However, her bloodline is restricted by the rules of the Lower World, and she has been slow to break through to the Immortal level and become an Immortal Beast."

"Using immortal energy to stimulate Precious Beast divine abilities has the ability to enhance bloodlines. If this Top-Grade Immortal Source is given to the Demon Emperor to use, she will certainly be able to become an Immortal Beast, and her strength will rise to a higher level."

"It's just hard to say whether the Demon Emperor, after becoming an Immortal Beast, will have strength comparable to the several Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance."

"However, what is certain is that they are all great powers who have passed the Ascension Tribulation. At least in terms of realm, they are all at the same level. If she can become an Immortal Beast, even if the Demon Emperor has a gap with these old fellows, it won't be too much. Perhaps she is just missing a few handy immortal treasures?"

Lin Jing's mind began to stir, feeling that it was best to concentrate resources to first strengthen an expert for the Tianyuan Realm who could carry the banner. When the time comes, having a backer will make it more convenient for him to occupy the Source Realm for ten thousand years...

"How exactly can I ensure that the Demon Emperor becomes an expert at the level of the Eight Great Deputy Alliance Leaders..."

He was also convinced; he really was a natural Beast Tamer. Just cultivating his own pets wasn't enough; now he had to find a way to cultivate the Lord of the Demon Court at the Demon Emperor level... ===== CHAPTER 482 =====
