Chapter 499: Return of the Prodigies

A few days later.

Except for Lin Jing, all the other prodigies of the Tianyuan World took pills and went into seclusion, charging toward the Ancestor Kong Xuan Realm, intending to leave the Source Realm first according to Lin Jing's plan.

Although they could still stay in the Source Realm for a long time, it no longer had any meaning.

Coming to the Source Realm, they did nothing more than two things.

First, the Source Realm's heaven and earth natural power was the richest in the lower world. Soul Transformation cultivators here could temper their heaven and earth Primordial Spirit to be perfect and flawless.

One year of bitter cultivation was worth more than ten years of bitter cultivation for Soul Transformation cultivators in the outside world.

Over twenty years of cultivation had already allowed the Tianyuan cultivators to reach this step, each being a Soul Transformation Great Perfection with a perfect Primordial Spirit.

Of course, this was just the most basic. As long as they spent time, every prodigy who entered the Source Realm could achieve this.

The second thing was the battle for the Immortal Source.

After shaping a perfect Primordial Spirit, they could begin to try to snatch the Immortal Source. Even if it took a few hundred years, just snatching a group of the most ordinary Immortal Source was very worthwhile for most prodigies.

Many people stayed in the Source Realm for a long time and refused to leave just to be able to obtain a few wisps of immortal power.

And for the Tianyuan World prodigies, since Lin Jing intended to monopolize the Source Realm's Immortal Source in the future, staying in the Source Realm had no meaning for them.

With their strength, they couldn't help with anything. After all, Lin Jing still had a group of spirit subordinates.

In this situation, it was better to follow Lin Jing's plan. Anyway, the last part of the Immortal Source would also be used to feed back into Tianyuan, and they still had hope of obtaining it.

"But is this really okay?"

The Ancestor Kong Xuan stage was incomparably difficult for ordinary cultivators. However, for these strongest prodigies carefully selected from every cultivation world, it was not difficult.

Having already laid a perfect foundation in Soul Transformation, they had almost no bottlenecks in breaking through to Ancestor Kong Xuan. Coupled with the "Void Refining Pill" given by Lin Jing, the Tianyuan prodigies broke into the Ancestor Kong Xuan Realm very easily.

But when leaving the Source Realm, these prodigies still felt that Lin Jing's plan was too risky.

A slight mistake could make the Tianyuan World the target of public criticism. However, how to do it was not something these prodigies could decide...

Although after they returned, one by one, their Ancestor Kong Xuan cultivation had become the second-tier combat power of the Tianyuan Continent, such a major event that determined the fate of Tianyuan still required the Questioning ancestors of various forces to make decisions.

…………

Tianyuan World.

Over twenty years after the ten prodigies of the Tianyuan World's golden generation entered the Source Realm, during these twenty-plus years, the Tianyuan World under the golden age developed vigorously.

Among them, the most shocking thing on the continent was that the Tianyuan World had given birth to another Innate Immortal Body!

An Innate Immortal Body, an existence completely different from an Acquired Immortal Body, could be said to be the most obvious feedback of the golden age.

The Immortal Body came from the Wang family, a cultivation family of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom. Although the Wang family had quite a reputation in the Ancient Kingdom, looking at the continent, it was far from being anything. However, with the birth of the Immortal Body this time, the Wang family soared into the sky at once.

Moreover, the father of this Innate Immortal Body was not some old antique, but also a Gold List prodigy, and the Wang family's Qilin son, named Wang Xiao.

Once the Immortal Body offspring was born, Wang Xiao went crazy, laughing for nine days and nine nights, resounding through the capital.

"Lin Jing, I originally thought I would live under your light for a lifetime, but I didn't expect my son to be an Innate Immortal Body! I have no hope of surpassing you in this life, but if my son can surpass you one day, I can consider my life fulfilled!" The father of the Immortal Body was surprisingly Lin Jing's classmate at the academy, and the two sides even had a certain friendship.

This not only left cultivators of all sides speechless; cultivating well is not as good as being born well.

On the Tianyuan Continent, there had been no shortage of similar things in recent years. Every few years, outstanding prodigies would appear, either born with the aptitude for ascension or obtaining heaven-defying opportunities, rising from mortals.

However, these Questioning cultivators who controlled the continent were still more concerned about the battle situation in the Source Realm. Outside the Source Realm teleportation array, every Questioning great power left a wisp of consciousness, waiting for the return of some prodigy one day. This wait was over twenty years. Although twenty years was nothing, every Questioning cultivator still felt very urgent about the intelligence of the Source Realm...

"Hmm?"

"They're out!?"

"Wait, it seems like it's not just one person!"

At the teleportation ruins, after waiting for a long time, accompanied by the suddenly appearing light and shadow, the consciousness clones of the Second-Generation Ancient Emperor, the Lord of the Demon Court, and other Questioning cultivators descended rapidly outside the teleportation array, feeling nervous in their hearts.

And under their gaze, they discovered that it was not just one prodigy returning, but as if the prodigies sent out were all returning today, one after another.

The prodigies who were all at the Soul Transformation stage before leaving had all broken through to the Ancestor Kong Xuan Realm after twenty years of cultivation in the Source Realm. Moreover, their Primordial Spirit fluctuations were incomparably powerful, which couldn't help but make these Questioning cultivators happy, feeling that the opening of this teleportation array was worth it!

"Father Emperor!"

"We are back."

Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran bowed to the Second-Generation Ancient Emperor.

"It's good to be back, hmm?" The Second-Generation Ancient Emperor was startled, discovering that it seemed one person hadn't returned.

"Did Lin Jing not return?" He asked. However, the Second-Generation Ancient Emperor was not too surprised by this. Lin Jing was a Longevity Body and didn't care how much time he wasted in the Source Realm.

Other Questioning cultivators also discovered it and looked at the Demon Emperor one after another. The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow, his expression proud. What a joke, how could he let Lin Jing return so quickly? A Longevity Body in the Source Realm is like returning home; he must stay longer.

However, these prodigies returning was indeed a bit too fast. Even if they wanted to send a message, one person would be enough. Although their lifespan was not as long as a Longevity Body, staying in the Source Realm for a few hundred years wouldn't be a hindrance and wouldn't affect subsequent cultivation.

One by one, did they have no ambition to snatch the Immortal Source?

"Reporting to Father Emperor, Lin Jing stayed in the Source Realm. We returned in advance to send a message." Gu Xinghe said.

"But have you obtained the contact method of the Cultivation Alliance?" The Second-Generation Ancient Emperor asked. As long as they obtained the contact method of the Cultivation Alliance, they wouldn't have to worry about the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The foundation of the Ancient Kingdom would not perish in his hands.

"This..." Facing the inquiry of the Second-Generation Ancient Emperor, the prodigies fell silent. Gu Youran said slowly:

"We originally successfully obtained the contact method of the Cultivation Alliance..."

"However, before we left, Senior Brother Lin took away all the contact tokens given to us by the Cultivation Alliance."

"He asked us to return to tell you that he temporarily doesn't want the Tianyuan World to join the Cultivation Alliance. He is preparing to use the advantage of the Longevity Body between the Cultivation Alliance and the Heavenly Demon Sect to monopolize the Source Realm's resources for ten thousand years, letting the Tianyuan World exclusively enjoy the Source Realm's resources..."

"Joining the Cultivation Alliance is not convenient for him to show his skills; there are too many restrictions."

The Questioning cultivators felt a darkness before their eyes and looked at the Demon Emperor one after another.

"Ao?" The Demon Emperor was stunned and said: "Why are you looking at this Emperor? This Emperor thinks the Holy Son's idea is not bad. Instead of pinning hopes on others' help, it's better to... wait, monopolize the Source Realm's resources for ten thousand years? This Emperor won't see Lin Jing for ten thousand years?" ===== CHAPTER 500 =====
