Chapter 579: Getting Rich

Through the memory sea of the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog, the Frog Aunt saw its entire life.

First, it was nurtured by a weasel, and subsequently, it was led into the immortal path by a human cultivator.

This human cultivator should be the one plotting against the Imperial Tomb.

Being able to think of plotting against the Imperial Tomb through a descendant with the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline is definitely not an ordinary person.

But the Frog Aunt did not expect the other party to be so extraordinary, actually having the Heavenly Mandate upon him.

No matter when, being able to fuse with the Heavenly Mandate absolutely qualifies one as a leader of an era...

"I originally thought this person used a 'beauty trap' to lure my descendant to come and beg for food. I didn't expect it to really be my descendant's own problem!"

The Frog Aunt was speechless. If the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog had taken a fancy to a frog clan member, she would have thought it was carefully prepared and designed by Lin Jing. As a result, it actually fell in love with a Star Life Crane.

She could only say that her descendant had quite unique tastes.

"And, although there is an element of utilization, it does not seem like it is being completely utilized."

With the Frog Aunt's vision, after investigating a little deeper, she discovered that this was not a slavery contract.

Instead, it was a contract where both parties prospered or suffered together.

No matter which party died, the other party would suffer a severe backlash—lightly, vitality would be greatly damaged and cultivation would regress; heavily, one would suffer qi deviation and perish.

Just by this contract alone, one could see that the other party did not treat the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog's life as unimportant and still cared about its safety in the Imperial Tomb, rather than treating it as a simple tomb-raiding tool.

"A beast-taming cultivator holding the Heavenly Mandate..."

The Frog Aunt originally wanted to follow the contract to punish the person plotting against the Imperial Tomb, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

People with the Heavenly Mandate have great fortune upon them, and she is now just a remnant weak consciousness. If she attacked a Heavenly Mandate person, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash of fortune.

After deep thought, the Frog Aunt decided to take a gamble.

The human who contracted the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog is definitely not ordinary, and it looks like her descendant hasn't suffered any losses with the other party.

It was the other party's pouring of a certain amount of cultivation that allowed it to rapidly advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Just now, she had indeed listened to the other person's words.

With the perfection of Earth's rules, Earth, which can currently only carry cultivators below the Immortal Realm, will sooner or later be able to carry higher realms, allowing True Immortals to enter and exit this world freely.

By then, those guys who left Earth will return and will definitely set their sights on the dilapidated Imperial Tomb.

Therefore, she had indeed just had the idea of giving this descendant some opportunity to let it grow, so as to facilitate guarding the ancestor's tomb in the future.

And right now, although there are some changes—her descendant has been contracted by someone—it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. The other party's existence can completely assist the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog to grow faster.

Since that is the case, it is better to make a deal.

Boom.

Following the contract connection, she directly sought out Lin Jing behind the scenes.

Lin Jing, who was originally waiting outside the tomb, also quickly changed his expression, feeling his consciousness sea being invaded.

As a spiritual body of a frog demon in strange attire appeared in his mind, Lin Jing was slightly silent for a moment.

"May I ask Senior, are you the ancestor of that frog?"

Lin Jing is not stupid; he naturally understands that this change might be brought about by the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog entering the tomb. This frog demon, who looks extraordinary in strength, likely has some connection with the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog.

Recalling that the immortal remnant soul said that a batch of Imperial Concubines were buried together, then this... is very likely the consciousness body of the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog's ancestor.

"Little ghost, are you the one who lured my descendant? Speak, what is your intention?"

"Senior, you have misunderstood. I didn't even know of the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb's existence beforehand. What malice could I have? It was purely that I met an ancient remnant soul some time ago, and it was from him that I heard he had obtained benefits in the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb—an immortal elixir—so I dared to come and try to see if I could obtain similar opportunities."

Lin Jing knew what the other party was worried about. After all, the Imperial Tomb is not only the Heavenly Emperor's tomb but also suppresses and seals the bones of four foreign Immortal Emperors. If a villain were to cause trouble, some bad situations could indeed occur.

He threw the pot to the immortal remnant soul... and everything was indeed caused by the other party. After hearing this, the Frog Aunt was silent for a while. It was indeed the bad precedent started by Concubine Ling's lineage long ago.

"Is it you?" Seeing Lin Jing drag out that remnant soul, the Frog Aunt gradually believed it. And the immortal remnant soul was even more dumbfounded when he saw the Frog Aunt.

"Senior, spare my life, Ancestor, spare my life." He was grabbed by the Frog Aunt to investigate his memory. After confirming that it was indeed the case, she narrowed her eyes.

"It really was you who led outsiders here. No matter how you are punished, it is not too much." Dragging away the immortal remnant soul, the other party did not return the remnant soul to Lin Jing but received it somewhere unknown.

Seeing this, Lin Jing slightly cupped his hands and said: "I have disturbed you Seniors, I will leave now."

Saying this, he intended to summon back the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog.

But it was also at this moment that the Frog Aunt spoke: "Forget it. Since you have reached this place and signed a contract with my descendant, it can be considered fate. Do you want to make a deal?"

"Senior, please speak." Hearing the other party say this, Lin Jing knew that this trip might not be in vain.

"Since you have signed a contract with my descendant, cultivate it well. When it grows to the 'Immortal Realm', I hope you can let it return here to guard the Imperial Tomb."

"And I will not let you cultivate it in vain. I will take out some of the offerings given to the Heavenly Emperor by the ten thousand races that are suitable for you to use, so that you can cultivate better."

"By then, if you are also willing to guard the Imperial Tomb together, it is not impossible to even gift you some treasures from the deep layers of the Imperial Tomb. Aren't you here for these things?"

Lin Jing took a deep breath. So that was it... He looked at the frog demon and nodded.

"This request, this junior can agree to."

"Moreover, it has a contract with me now, so no matter what, I will cultivate it carefully."

"Good, I hope you keep your word." The Frog Aunt nodded with satisfaction and did not ask Lin Jing to swear anything. These things were meaningless to a Heavenly Mandate person. Anyway, the things given out were all unimportant things to the Imperial Tomb. Trading for a potential stock that might help guard the tomb in the future, the Frog Aunt felt it was worth it.

She still trusted her own vision relatively more. It was precisely because she took her whole clan to invest in the Heavenly Emperor early that she had her current status.

Moreover, knowing that Lin Jing has extraordinary potential doesn't require any vision. The Heavenly Mandate of the current generation is all on the other party. Even if it's bad in the future, it won't be that bad.

As for Lin Jing saying that he would cultivate the Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog no matter what... she could only believe half of it at most.

Since they are both imperial consorts, can the love they receive be the same if one marries in with a massive dowry while the other goes empty-handed and even has to support her entire clan?

At the same time.

The Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog, who was still kowtowing, was suddenly stunned.

Because around it... suddenly five statues shattered in unison!

"Your wish, the ancestors have heard. Take these five things away."

"Quack, quack, quack, quack?!" The Heavenly Emperor's Successor Frog stood up excitedly. ===== CHAPTER 580 =====
