Chapter 576

"Speaking of bloodlines..."

Lin Jing recalled.

He seemed to still have a pet egg of the Immortal Monarch bloodline that hadn't hatched.

Back then, the Mechanism Turtle accidentally discovered the Xiangong secret realm of Tianyuan, and Lin Jing went in to explore it.

The Star-Life Crane was contracted there.

In the end, he even made a shady deal with the internal relic's mechanism spirit using mechanism materials.

The three Xiangong rewards... the first time, he took the Immortal Mist Body-Protecting Talisman, which he hadn't used to this day.

Besides the talisman, there were two other rewards inside: an Ascension Pill and a pet egg of the Monarch-level bloodline.

These two things, in fact, over the following two hundred years, Lin Jing had sent people from the Source Realm to take them from the relic spirit using mechanism materials.

However, the Ascension Pill was useless, and that pet egg required a cultivator with an Immortal Body to drip blood to recognize it as master and hatch it, which was also useless to Lin Jing at the time.

Therefore, Lin Jing didn't have it sent back to the Source Realm but had it thrown directly into his old lair.

It was useless before... but now it was different. Because he had merged with the destiny and obtained the Immortal Body, after going back, perhaps he could immediately hatch that Immortal Monarch-level pet egg...

It would be another great help to him.

The Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog continued its bitter cultivation. According to the Immortal's remnant soul, there was a basic pressure on the periphery of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb. Only upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage would one have a chance to walk in the tomb while resisting the pressure.

From Core Formation to Nascent Soul, ordinary demon beasts might need to cultivate for hundreds of years, but for the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog, with all kinds of resources constantly available, it achieved the Nascent Soul achievement in just ten short years. And this was in a space with a different time flow; for the real outside world, only a very short time had passed.

Unfortunately.

That guy Long Li was not well-versed in his craft.

Up to now, he still hadn't fixed the "Wordless Plaque." Otherwise, if they could use a mid-grade immortal artifact to assist in cultivation, their cultivation speed would definitely be able to increase by another notch.

Since even the "Wordless Plaque" wasn't fixed, Long Li had even less energy to repair the mysterious bronze mirror of the same grade for the time being.

"Let's go explore it for the first time. In case this Immortal's remnant soul is unreliable, it will save wasting too much time."

As soon as the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog reached Nascent Soul, Lin Jing immediately shook awake the Immortal's remnant soul he had sealed.

"Don't, don't shake me anymore. If you shake me again, my soul will scatter."

"Take me to the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb and show me the way." Lin Jing looked at the Immortal's remnant soul.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll lead the way right now..."

As the Immortal's remnant soul headed straight for the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, Lin Jing's true self's consciousness also entered his internal Primordial Spirit space.

Having just broken through to Nascent Soul and becoming a generation of Demon Kings, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog's confidence surged. Becoming increasingly brave, it went to challenge the Mosquito King, and subsequently, it was beaten black and blue by the Mosquito King, fleeing back to a corner to nurse its wounds dejectedly while holding a crane feather.

"Quack!!!"

The Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog was angry. This Mosquito King didn't play by the rules; when it couldn't beat the frog, it called for its underlings.

The mosquito beast, this perverted race, the more they gather, the stronger they are; they are simply impossible to fight.

"Looking at you, the 'Great Love Without Borders Art'... it can be said that there has been no progress at all." Lin Jing descended beside the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog.

The Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog had chosen the "Great Love Without Borders Art" itself, but as a result, it was still using the demon power in its bloodline to fight instead of using the Great Love True Qi. One look and it was clear its cultivation was not up to par.

Seeing Lin Jing, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog shuddered all over and immediately stood up.

"Quack, quack." It indicated that it really didn't have the ability to fall in love with mosquitoes, but it asked Lin Jing to rest assured that it was already improving the "Great Love Without Borders Art," and it wouldn't be long before it mastered the technique.

"Otherwise, should I go catch a few beauty frogs and have the Pine-Leaf Rat synthesize them with mosquitoes into beautiful mosquito-frogs, so you can adapt step by step?"

The Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog shook its head in terror, shaking its head frantically—No!!

"Even without mentioning the 'Great Love Without Borders Art,' your combat power progress is too slow." Lin Jing looked at the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog: "We are about to go back to take revenge on the Prison Blood Demon God. With your current strength, don't even talk about helping out; you might not even have the qualifications to enter the field."

The Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog was startled.

"How can this be?" It couldn't help but say.

But... it had already tried hard enough.

These past ten-plus years, fighting day and night, in order to help Fairy Crane take revenge, it didn't even sleep. Fighting, nursing wounds, cultivating... over and over again.

"Look at you, you're so anxious you're even speaking human language." Lin Jing said: "There is still one opportunity."

"Next, I will take you to your ancestor's tomb. Your ancestor was an incredibly powerful immortal cultivator. When you reach the tomb, go and piously pay respects to your ancestors. If the ancestors manifest their spirits and you can obtain the protection of his old self, then you might have hope of catching up to the pace of the other guys in the shortest possible time."

"However, that tomb carries certain risks, and the mortality rate is extremely high. It's not like these mosquito beasts. Are you willing to go?"

"It's possible that you really will die."

Under Lin Jing's inquiry, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog didn't even think about it, quacking away to indicate it wanted to go.

With his spiritual sense enveloping the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog, confirming that it truly wanted to go through the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb to become stronger and then help the Star-Life Crane take revenge, Lin Jing nodded. Although he didn't understand, since the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog was willing to go, that was enough.

Because he also had no confidence that the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog could come back alive after going to the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb.

The Emperor's tomb is mysterious, and no one can say for sure what happens inside.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog died inside, it was highly possible.

All Lin Jing could do was give it sufficient safety guarantees after the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog willingly went there.

A contract.

"As long as this contract does not break, even if you die in the tomb, I can use the beast-taming secret technique to resurrect you through reincarnation. Looking across the entire Immortal Cultivation World, I haven't encountered an enemy that can erase the contract marks along with the contract itself, but..."

This was the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, after all. Let alone erasing the contract marks, it was possible to find him by following the cause and effect of the contract. This would be the greatest risk he would bear this time. But soon, Lin Jing shook his head—how could he be that unlucky?

The Immortal's remnant soul was also living just fine. As long as he told the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog not to destroy anything and to go piously pay respects to the ancestors, there was no reason for the Emperor's tomb to exterminate the descendants of the Heavenly Emperor.

Not long after.

Lin Jing arrived in the depths of the ocean. As time flowed, the location of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb was now in an exotic space at the bottom of the deep sea, connected by an ancient tomb gate.

The tomb gate was already dilapidated and broken; one could enter without being proficient in spatial power. Lin Jing did not follow the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog inside. After watching it enter the tomb, he waited outside, lest the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb not recognize him...

And after entering the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog, carrying a arduous mission, swallowed its saliva as a shocking scene came into view.

Thousands of funerary stone figures were like heavenly soldiers and generals, guarding the outermost periphery of the tomb. Each stone figure held a decaying low-grade immortal artifact in its hand. Thousands of low-grade immortal artifacts were truly mind-boggling.

However, Lin Jing had already heard all of this from the Immortal's remnant soul and had informed the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog that these... were not the key.

The key was to walk inward.

Resisting the pressure emitted by one ancient stone figure after another, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog jumped and kowtowed, carefully jumping toward the interior. The stone figures' gazes seemed to have spirit; their eyeballs turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog, but they did not swarm to attack and exterminate this intruder...

"Quack! (Ancestors above, the incompetent descendant frog has come to pay respects to the ancestors.)" What Lin Jing didn't expect was that because the pressure was too great, the Heavenly Emperor's Queen Frog felt that coming empty-handed wasn't very good. After thinking it over, it took out a bottle of mosquito blood and a few roasted mosquito legs and continued to jump toward the inside, seemingly wanting to offer them to its ancestors.
