Chapter 578: Ancestor Manifesting Spirit

"At that time, my cultivation fell due to the Age of Dharma Decline, and my lifespan was approaching its end. It just so happened that a statue shattered, and an expired high-grade immortal elixir fell out from it. Although expired, the effect of this immortal elixir was just enough to extend my life, allowing me to seal myself until now and still maintain a wisp of remnant soul. How could there be such a coincidence?"

"It must be that the Imperial Tomb saw that I had a meager Heavenly Emperor bloodline and was about to die miserably in this Age of Dharma Decline, so it gave me a glimmer of survival."

"These are things buried with the Heavenly Emperor. Which race would dare to use such fragile statues? It must be the will of the Imperial Tomb!"

This was the immortal remnant soul's explanation. Lin Jing could only believe it; after all, the other party was the only guy alive who had entered the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb.

Therefore, Lin Jing did not tell the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog too much information.

He only told it that this was the tomb of its ancestors, and as long as it worshipped piously and stated its request, there would be a chance to receive the ancestor's blessing.

After the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog arrived outside the inner city, it knelt down again, piously: "Quack, quack, quack."

The general meaning was...

Ancestor above, the incompetent descendant Frog has met a woman he likes.

This woman has a miserable life, bearing a blood feud, her whole family exterminated by a demon.

Although it very much wants to help the woman take revenge and kill the demon, alas, its strength is weak.

No matter how hard it tries, it is difficult to advance rapidly in this Age of Dharma Decline.

As the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog, it is truly ashamed.

Therefore, it requests the ancestor to pass down the Dao, to help the incompetent descendant fulfill its wish, so as to manifest the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor's descendants.

Clang, clang, clang.

Thump, thump, thump.

The Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog kept kowtowing piously, mosquito blood, mosquito legs—it laid them out one by one for the ancestor.

These... were all premium goods; it hadn't even been willing to eat them itself.

One month... two months...

It didn't know how long it had been kowtowing, but there was still no change around it.

Although the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog had entered the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, because there was a contract connection, Lin Jing could still roughly know the situation inside.

"Why has it been so long, and no statue has shattered yet?"

Lin Jing scrutinized the immortal remnant soul and said: "Didn't you say that you only knelt for a few days back then, and the Imperial Tomb manifested its spirit to bestow you with treasures?"

"In terms of sincerity, I feel my Frog is much more sincere than you."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer... don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions." The immortal remnant soul wiped his sweat, also a bit nervous. If this evil star didn't get any benefits, he would definitely be finished.

He also didn't know what was going on. He really hadn't lied to Lin Jing and had told his own experience back then truthfully.

But why... did this frog's kowtowing have no reaction?

Could it be that because too much time had passed, the spirituality of the Imperial Tomb had degraded, making it unable to observe the situation of the entrants?

Or perhaps, this frog's bloodline was too thin, much thinner than his, and it was not fully recognized by the Imperial Tomb.

It could also be that he was about to die at the time, and the Imperial Tomb was just saving a person, while the frog was asking for too much and was too greedy, causing the Imperial Tomb to choose to ignore it.

The immortal remnant soul thought of many things and felt they were all possible, but he still hoped that the Imperial Tomb could bestow some things, after all, this concerned his own little life.

However.

What neither Lin Jing nor the immortal remnant soul expected was.

The expired immortal elixir from back then was not the Imperial Tomb manifesting its spirit at all; of course, it was also not an accident.

"Sister, wake up, wake up."

In the Third Heaven of the Imperial Tomb, a voice sounded from the void. A consciousness body of an upright frog, wearing a purple dress and a flower wreath, looking like a middle-aged aunt, slowly woke up.

"It's you." In the dark space, the Frog Aunt looked at a cat-girl consciousness body floating in the sky.

"What happened?"

"It seems a little guy came from outside. It's your descendant." The cat-girl spoke.

"Hmm?" The Frog Aunt was startled and spread her consciousness out, immediately discovering the little frog kneeling in worship.

"It really is. So much time has passed, and I actually still have bloodline continuity. But who taught it? Why did it come here to beg for food? My descendant is such a good-for-nothing."

"When the Age of Dharma Decline arrived, a guy who was about to die came in. He was a descendant of Concubine Ling's lineage. Some sisters saw he was pitiful and got an immortal elixir for him. It might have started a bad precedent there."

"No need to pay attention. I cannot do things that break the rules." The Frog Aunt said: "Let it keep kowtowing. I want to continue sleeping..."

"Sister, don't sleep anymore. I feel that for the sake of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, breaking some rules is nothing." The cat-girl said: "The Imperial Tomb is now seriously damaged. Although spiritual energy has recovered, the damage to the Imperial Tomb is difficult to reverse. It's fine now, but when the Immortal World recovers to seven or eight percent of its former level, it will be able to accommodate the return of the Immortal Realm."

"By then, those guys who went to other immortal worlds will inevitably recall this place and set their sights on the severely damaged Imperial Tomb. By then, the Imperial Tomb will probably not have the ability to stop them. Rather than letting irrelevant people benefit by then, it is better to send some unimportant things to our own descendants first."

"At the same time, after the descendants become powerful, they can conversely protect the core of the Imperial Tomb."

"Moreover, Sister, your status is extraordinary. Even if His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor were still alive, he would not blame you for your decision."

The Frog Aunt fell into deep thought.

She was indeed different.

Most of the Heavenly Emperor's concubines were taken in after the Heavenly Emperor achieved the position of Heavenly Emperor.

But she met him when the Heavenly Emperor had not yet emerged and was still an unknown little cultivator.

She was originally a princess of the Immortal Frog clan... and had an experience of exploring secret realms together with the young Heavenly Emperor, helping each other in times of danger... clearly having more choices, but because she felt the young Heavenly Emperor had extraordinary potential, she helped him many times later. The Immortal Frog clan also gave the young Heavenly Emperor much help. This sentiment was extraordinary. So, while most of the Heavenly Emperor's confidantes were always maintaining their beautiful appearances in front of the Heavenly Emperor to fight for favor, the Frog Aunt, who had abundant capital, was simply too lazy to do so. She did whatever was comfortable. Sometimes she was even too lazy to transform into a human form, yet she still had an extraordinary status.

In the end, she fell asleep in this Imperial Tomb together with many concubines in the Immortal King realm.

"What you say makes sense. However, this descendant of mine outside is also too lacking in vision. Coming to beg the ancestors, it is actually for a woman. No ambition... No, that's not right."

Suddenly, the Frog Aunt frowned and discovered the contract traces on the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog.

"What's wrong, Sister?"

"It seems it did not find this place by itself, but rather, someone is using it to seek benefits in the Imperial Tomb!"

"Let me see who exactly has eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gallbladder!"

The Frog Aunt snorted coldly. Having actually schemed against her descendant, she directly transformed into a green light and entered the memory sea of the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog.

"Hmm? A Heavenly Mandate person?!" ===== CHAPTER 579 =====
