Chapter 543
"Mushroom, don't tell me you're making fun of me again."
The matter was too incredible, and Lin Jing first thought of the Spell Origin Mushroom.
The other party originated from him, so naturally, it knew he was a transmigrator.
Could it be that it saw he was bored and created another little surprise for him?
And then, accidentally, it turned into a scare...
"Mo Gu!" But this time, the Spell Origin Mushroom was very wronged; it hadn't done anything.
It had been honestly cultivating inside Lin Jing's body...
Lin Jing was quite devoted to the Spell Origin Mushroom. Over these years of cultivation, Lin Jing had long since had other spells and divine abilities reach the point of being able to give birth to spell origins, but they had all been abandoned by Lin Jing.
It wasn't a good thing for too many spells to gain consciousness. After gaining consciousness, they could cultivate on their own, but they would also consume a certain amount of the master's energy. Lin Jing's cultivation speed was already slow; if he had to raise too many spell origins, he might as well stop cultivating.
Letting it gain consciousness and then neglecting it was also too inhumane.
Having the Illusion Mushroom that could turn the virtual into reality take care of his daily life was enough.
Shaking his head and confirming that it wasn't the little mushroom playing tricks, Lin Jing felt a bit melancholy.
Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch. During his time on Earth, he had suffered from a terminal illness and was bedridden, no different from a dead person.
In the end, he was lucky enough to come to the Tianyuan Realm, and his illness was gone. It turned out it wasn't a coincidence.
He... was actually also part of the plan to confront the Heavenly Demon Clan.
"Earth, the ancient immortal world?" Lin Jing wanted to confirm again.
This illusory spirit said: "A long time ago, there were four immortal worlds, but later, for some reasons, the spirit energy of three of them withered, and they became desolate ancient immortal worlds. In the early years of Earth, there were also heavens, immortals, and Buddhas. However, with the withering of spirit energy, Earth gradually became unsuitable for cultivation. Let alone becoming an immortal, even ordinary practitioners were few and far between. These immortals and Buddhas had long since left Earth, and in the end, only mortals remained."
"And my master was the last immortal to become one after the Dharma-ending Age of Earth's spirit energy withering, before the spirit energy completely dissipated."
"After leaving Earth, he went to the only remaining one, which is now the only immortal world, and finally attained the Dao to become an Immortal Emperor!"
"Now, in the immortal world, the Demon Clan is rampant, interfering with my master's quiet cultivation. However, due to the existence of the Heavenly Dao Supreme Treasure, it is difficult to completely eliminate the Demon Lord within the same realm. At the request of various forces, my master exerted great magic power and sent several mortals from the ancient immortal world who were dying or already dead to various cultivation worlds."
"He intended to let this group of people serve as the final trump card to cut off the Demon Lord's plan."
Lin Jing listened and was noncommittal.
"... Me?"
"And why must people be chosen from the ancient immortal world? Since this Emperor can do this to such an extent, it shouldn't be difficult to directly"
"cross the boundary and cultivate a successor here."
Although he was now a famous figure in the lower realms, Lin Jing also knew his own strength and potential.
The Demon Lord, whom even the Immortal Emperor Realm couldn't do anything about—his biggest trump card, the Glazed Immortal King's inherited divine ability, was obviously not enough either.
"Don't belittle yourself. I said, you are indeed not good enough now, so the Emperor arranged for you to return to Earth."
"Why choose people from the ancient immortal world instead of cultivating them directly from the lower realms? Isn't that simple? Even if Earth is a discarded ancient immortal world, it's not something everyone can enter. Only Earth's original creatures can achieve this."
"And the ancient immortal world is also the most important part of the Emperor's plan."
"The ancient immortal world Earth has already begun to revive its spirit energy. With the revival of spirit energy, Earth's Heavenly Dao will also reappear. As a former immortal world, Earth possesses things that the lower realms do not have..."
"Obtain it, and in this lower realm, you will be an invincible existence. Even if an Immortal King from the upper realm descends, they will not be your opponent. It can allow you to become the existence that the Demon Lord finds most troublesome in this lower realm! As long as you live for one day, the Demon Lord's plan cannot be completed!"
"What is it?" Lin Jing asked.
"Heavenly Mandate."
"There are three main differences between the immortal world and the lower realms. The first difference is that the world strength of the immortal world is higher. You can easily tear space in the Source Realm, but in the immortal world, it's impossible to be that easy. The second difference is that higher world strength brings the benefit of a higher cultivation upper limit, with the ability to carry immortal power, unlike the lower realms, where you cannot advance further after cultivating to a certain point."
"And the Heavenly Mandate I speak of is the most important difference. The immortal world occasionally gives birth to Heavenly Mandate. Heavenly Mandate is unfathomable, but it will choose a Heavenly Mandate Person by itself to fuse with. As long as you successfully fuse with the Heavenly Mandate and don't fall, you are almost certain to become an Immortal Emperor."
"It can also be said that only those who fuse with the Heavenly Mandate can rely on the power of the Heavenly Mandate to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm."
"My master deduced that Earth after the revival of spirit energy will give birth to a portion of Heavenly Mandate. Although Earth today also has some practitioners who have restarted cultivation, as well as some self-sealed old antiques, given their cultivation and aptitude, the probability of them obtaining the recognition of the Heavenly Mandate is not high."
"After all, the minimum condition for obtaining the Heavenly Mandate is to be at the Deity Transformation Stage cultivation, to the point where you can fuse with the power of heaven and earth. Such cultivation might not even exist on Earth anymore. Even if it does, they are all old guys who are dying and have been sleeping and sealed for I don't know how many years; they are already hard to make into great things."
"Therefore, the Emperor brought you out of Earth and brought you to this starry sky to cultivate and train, letting you cultivate in regions with more abundant spirit energy. With your current foundation, the probability of obtaining the Heavenly Mandate after returning to Earth will undoubtedly be greater."
"As long as one of you successfully obtains the recognition of the Heavenly Mandate,"
"and fuses with the Heavenly Mandate, your talent and potential will naturally undergo earth-shaking changes, and your strength will naturally become invincible in this lower realm, worthy of being called a young Immortal Emperor."
"So, lucky little guy, do you understand? You were actually standing at the finish line of most cultivators the moment you were born. Even if it's a discarded immortal world, even if it's a mortal, you are ultimately a person of the immortal world. Being sent to the lower realms, you are also a natural Longevity Body, and your lifespan is longer than most lives in the lower realms..."
Heavenly Mandate, huh...
Lin Jing fell into deep thought, then looked up and asked: "You just said that one day on Earth is one year in the lower realms. I've been cultivating here for hundreds of years, which means Earth has only passed no more than three years?"
"And if I follow what you said and go to the ancient immortal world Earth and stay there for a year, then here... more than three hundred years of time will pass by in a flash."
"That's right." The illusory spirit nodded.
This caused Lin Jing to frown and ask: "Since this life of mine was re-bestowed by your master, I am not resistant to returning to Earth to find the Heavenly Mandate. But I have important matters to deal with after five hundred years, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to stay on Earth for long!"
