Chapter 544

The illusory spirit said: "One year is enough. After all, the Heavenly Mandate has already been conceived. After the Heavenly Mandate is conceived, it will almost soon choose a Heavenly Mandate Person. Perhaps while we are communicating, the Heavenly Mandate of the ancient immortal world has already chosen an old antique from Earth as the Heavenly Mandate Person... if there are such old antiques."

"Wait a minute." Lin Jing couldn't help but ask: "If we go and really encounter this situation..."

"Could it be that after the Heavenly Mandate Person appears, it's not permanent? Can the Heavenly Mandate still be transferred?!"

"Hehe..." The illusory spirit smiled: "Not bad. There is no such thing as destiny. The Heavenly Mandate will indeed choose a Heavenly Mandate Person it favors, but how could we cultivators be willing to accept such a destined thing?"

"In the immortal world, some people have long since researched the 'Heavenly Mandate Deprivation Technique.' As long as the Heavenly Mandate Person has not yet attained the position of Immortal Emperor, then the Heavenly Mandate can be stripped from him and transferred to oneself."

"Before sending the three of you to Earth, I will pass the Heavenly Mandate Deprivation Technique to you together. No matter which of you three obtains the Heavenly Mandate, as long as the other two have the ability, they can seize it themselves. I don't care who the Heavenly Mandate chose at the beginning. As long as the Heavenly Mandate is ultimately with someone, that person is the one the Emperor wants to cultivate, and that person is the Heavenly Mandate Person who will confront the Demon Lord."

Lin Jing took a deep breath and asked: "What is the cultivation of the other two?"

"I can't tell you this, and I can't tell you who they are either. However, what I can tell you is that both of these people entered different cultivation worlds earlier than you. After all, you were the last dying person summoned here from Earth by the Emperor."

This... Lin Jing's gaze narrowed. Theoretically speaking, even if they started cultivating earlier than him, limited by the Longevity Body, their cultivation shouldn't be very high.

Even if he took a step back and the other party was already a Dao-seeking cultivator, Lin Jing wasn't too worried.

He could break through to Ancestor Kong Xuan at any time, and it would be easy for him to obtain Dao-seeking combat power by relying on the Heavenly Demon Body. Plus, with the countless foundations accumulated in this Source Realm, Lin Jing couldn't think of any advantage the other two could have after facing him.

Honestly, besides himself, he hadn't heard of any powerful Longevity Bodies on either the immortal or demon sides.

Perhaps, in all likelihood, the other two hadn't even walked out of their own cultivation worlds. Lin Jing reasoned for a while and felt relieved. Looking at it this way, he shouldn't encounter any major danger on Earth.

"Give me three days to prepare, and I will return to the ancient immortal world with you..."

"Then, thank the Emperor for me..."

Lin Jing's gaze was dazed. With the opportunity right in front of him, he himself actually wanted to go back and take a look very much.

After he was gone, were his relatives living well...

This Immortal Emperor, regardless of the reason, since he had given him a new life and allowed him to regain the opportunity to see his relatives, he couldn't let the other party down.

But before that, what Lin Jing needed to do was to pass this throne of his to someone he could trust, letting them sit in the Source Realm on his behalf.

Lin Jing had long since chosen this person: the other Longevity Body, Gu Qianqiu.

Since he was leaving now, it was time for Lin Jing to pass the promised immortal beast corpses and other items to her. Besides that... there was the Dark Immortal Source, to ensure that the Tianyuan Realm could still continuously obtain resources from the Source Realm.

"Leaving?" Lin Jing arrived, and Gu Qianqiu seemed to have sensed it. In the last few decades, she had felt that Lin Jing was increasingly weary of the unchanging Source Realm.

"Yes, the Source Realm is handed over to you from now on." Lin Jing threw a space bag to her and said: "But I'm not returning to Tianyuan next, but going to another place. The things I want to entrust to you are all recorded there. At that time, you will be fully responsible for contacting the Tianyuan Realm."

"Won't you be afraid?"

Gu Qianqiu spoke calmly: "With the top-grade immortal energy you've gifted me for so many years, and the help of that meteorite, if I can't guard the Source Realm, I'll bring my head to see you."

Lin Jing smiled: "There's no need to be so serious. I won't appear in the outside world for the time being. I'll leave some activity in the Source Realm before I go. In a short time, no one will discover that I've left the Source Realm."

"Good, have a safe journey." Gu Qianqiu didn't ask more, and Lin Jing didn't say more. After the two met, they parted directly.

Lin Jing then visited the Star Dust Realm in a high-profile manner, and afterward, few people knew that this overlord who had dominated the Source Realm for five hundred years had already left this place silently...

…………

Not long after.

Ancient Immortal World, Earth.

China.

On a steep mountain peak, a figure appeared out of thin air. Lin Jing still couldn't believe that he had actually returned to Earth just by passing through a door.

"Is this Huangshan in Anhui Province... It's not far from home." Lin Jing stood on a mountain peak, somewhat surprised. He had a clearer perception of the Emperor's servant's words. Before, he was a mortal and indeed hadn't sensed it, but now, he could initially judge that Earth's spirit energy had already revived, at least before he transmigrated.

Within this Huangshan, the spirit energy had already accumulated very thickly. As long as one had sufficient aptitude and suitable cultivation techniques, at least Foundation Establishment was definitely no problem. As for Core Formation, it might still be lacking a bit.

"As expected of the ancient immortal world, the space barrier is indeed stronger. Wanting to teleport through space, the consumption would be dozens of times that of the Source Realm... It's better to honestly fly with a sword." Lin Jing shook his head, discovering that the best way to travel on Earth might be sword flying. The Heavenly Demon Crossing and the space spells he had obtained by comprehending the Space Flying Leaf seemed to be somewhat unusable.

"However, if I break through to Ancestor Kong Xuan, it might be easier." Lin Jing had been stuck at the Deity Transformation Stage for too long. He directly set up an array on the spot and chose to break through to Ancestor Kong Xuan immediately.

With the Time Dao Immortal Flag, if it were something like cultivation, it wouldn't make him waste too much real time. Higher cultivation could also better obtain the Heavenly Mandate.

"You guys have been holding back for so long; if you want to break through, you can start breaking through." Lin Jing also long-lostly called out to the Pine Needle Rat and the others who had started to suppress their realms by sleeping. These little guys... wanting to suppress their realms was much harder than for Lin Jing.

However.

Before Lin Jing could start his closed-door cultivation, he sensed a spiritual power fluctuation approaching him rapidly...

It was actually a cultivator, whose cultivation should only be at the Qi Refining Stage. Lin Jing understood; he had just arrived and hadn't controlled his aura well, nor had he adapted to the environmental changes, causing the immortal cultivator practicing on this Huangshan to notice the extraordinary nature of this place and think that a spirit object had been born.

"That's fine. Let's first understand the current pattern of Earth's cultivation world through this person."

A moment later, a girl in a yellow dress galloping among the clouds landed in front of Lin Jing. When she discovered that there was no spirit object here, but instead a young man dressed in a green long gown and ancient attire, the girl was clearly stunned.

The next instant, her expression changed, and she immediately bent down to apologize: "I didn't know a senior was practicing hard here. This junior will take her leave immediately."

She turned and left, inwardly shocked. Her cultivation was higher than her own; could it be a Foundation Establishment old monster...
