Chapter 635: Jumping Out of the Chessboard

The East Radiance Immortal Emperor smiled.

"The Demon Clan reopened the Ascension Channel. As an Immortal Emperor, although it is difficult to interfere with the lower realm with magic power, projecting a wisp of consciousness is still easy to do."

"Little friend, I really didn't misjudge you. Thanks to you exterminating the Heavenly Demon in the lower realm, this forced the Demon Clan to reopen the Ascension Channel. However, little friend should know the Demon Clan's intention in reopening the Ascension Channel, right?"

Lin Jing nodded.

"It's nothing more than wanting to get me to the Immortal Realm. In this way, there will be no obstacles in the lower realm."

"That's right." The East Radiance Immortal Emperor said: "So I want to ask little friend to be able to give up ascension and permanently guard the lower realm. Whenever there is a demon trying to covet the lower realm, clear it out completely."

Lin Jing replied: "Before coming to the Immortal Cultivation World, I was already seriously ill. It was the Emperor who gave me a second life. This kindness cannot be repaid. The junior is willing to permanently guard the lower realm. However, the junior has a request."

"Speak."

"The junior guarding the lower realm is naturally no problem. However, the junior's relatives and friends, the junior's... pets..." Lin Jing looked at the pets in his internal primordial spirit space who were sleeping and recuperating after the great battle, and spoke: "I can guard the lower realm, but they do not have the Mandate of Heaven, no long-lived immortal body, no Immortal body. Their lifespan is less than one-tenth of mine, and sooner or later, they will pass away before the junior."

"With such talent, dying in the lower realm is a pity."

"I hope that if the junior's relatives and friends ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, they can be ensured safety in the Immortal Realm, at the very least... not be affected because of my enmity with the Demon Clan."

"If the junior's pets choose to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, it should be the same. I can stay in the lower realm, but I cannot delay their talent. And for those among them who do not choose to ascend to the Immortal Realm, I hope there is a way for them to obtain the same lifespan as me."

"Without their company, in these long years, the junior is worried that he... will be unable to help but go crazy."

"This request of yours is reasonable." The East Radiance Immortal Emperor nodded and said: "Anything else? Only this request?"

Lin Jing shook his head: "Besides this, the junior feels that the Demon Clan opening the Ascension Channel has another reason."

The East Radiance Immortal Emperor said "Oh?".

"Ancient Immortal Realm, Earth." Lin Jing said: "During the period of exterminating the Demon Generals, the junior discovered that among the four foreign Immortal Emperors who joined forces to attack the ancient Heavenly Court, one was the ancestor of the Demon Clan. Earth's spiritual energy is recovering, and the Demon Clan has long been eyeing Earth, intending to retrieve the clan-suppressing demon artifacts from the Heavenly Emperor's tomb."

"Perhaps the Demon Clan is taking this opportunity to shift its focus to retrieving the clan-suppressing demon artifacts. If the Demon Clan succeeds, the Demon Clan will probably be even harder to deal with. The junior guarding the lower realm is ultimately treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Only by completely exterminating the Demon Clan can we ensure the tranquility of the two realms. If the Demon Clan retrieves the clan-suppressing demon artifacts, then... wanting to exterminate the Demon Clan will undoubtedly be even more difficult."

After Lin Jing finished speaking, the East Radiance Immortal Emperor immediately attached importance to it. He didn't expect the Demon Clan's hand to reach Earth.

"Your thoughts." He asked Lin Jing.

Lin Jing replied: "Now Earth is still in the stage of spiritual energy recovery, and the Heavenly Dao is not yet complete. It can only carry cultivators 'below the Immortal Realm' at most. The junior can still shuttle between the two realms and exterminate all enemies who harbor ill intentions toward Earth."

"However..."

"But when Earth recovers to the state it should have as an Ancient Immortal Realm, it will be a new 'Immortal Realm'!"

"A new Immortal Realm with complete rules will make it impossible to shuttle at will. At that time, if the junior wants to guard the lower realm, he will not be able to ascend to the 'Ancient Immortal Realm'. If the junior wants to guard the Heavenly Emperor's tomb, he will need to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm. Once reaching the True Immortal stage, it will be difficult to return to the lower realm to block the Demon Clan."

"And the Demon Clan, which possesses the 'Heavenly Dao supreme treasure', since it can easily block the Ascension Channel, then at that time, letting the Demon Clan's Immortals go to Earth and blocking other factions' Immortals from going to Earth may not be impossible to do. At that time, Earth will probably become the Demon Clan's territory."

"Indeed, the Demon Clan does have the possibility of abandoning the Immortal Cultivation World and plotting the Ancient Immortal Realm." The East Radiance Immortal Emperor nodded. The Demon Clan has laid out in the lower realm for countless years, and many factions in the Immortal Realm subconsciously believe that the Demon Clan cannot abandon the lower realm.

However, an Ancient Immortal Realm that is about to recover is also a treasure land. The Demon Clan may not necessarily not covet it.

The reopening of the Ascension Channel also makes it more convenient for the Demon Clan to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm.

And the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure in the Demon Lord's hands does indeed have a certain degree of control over the realm, as Lin Jing said. Other factions' True Immortals, Immortal Monarchs... wanting to go to Earth is definitely not as easy and convenient as the Demon Clan's powerhouses wanting to go.

At that time, the situation in the Immortal Cultivation World might be replicated in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

And Lin Jing is only one person.

Unable to take care of both the Immortal Cultivation World and the Ancient Immortal Realm...

Lin Jing cupped his fists and said: "The junior has a strategy."

"As everyone knows, the avatar's fate is incomplete and cannot leave the main body to ascend to the Immortal Realm alone."

"However, the Ancient Immortal Realm is also in a damaged state now, which is very different from a complete Immortal Realm. My avatar and main body, located in the lower realm and Ancient Immortal Realm respectively, will not be affected."

"Perhaps before the Ancient Immortal Realm recovers, I can let my avatar guard the Ancient Immortal Realm until the Ancient Immortal Realm is completely restored."

"Finally, let the avatar separate from the main body and become an Immortal in the Ancient Immortal Realm. In this way, it will not affect the main body guarding the lower realm, and there will be enough time for the avatar to lay out and accumulate foundation in the Ancient Immortal Realm to resist the Demon Clan that may invade Earth in the future."

"Of course, the avatar, after all, does not have the Mandate of Heaven and is an 'incomplete body', so its potential is limited. If the Demon Clan really sends Immortal Monarchs or even Supreme Immortal Kings to Earth, the avatar alone may be difficult to resist."

"Therefore, for the safety of the Ancient Immortal Realm and to stop the Demon Clan's ambition, I hope... the Immortal Realm can give the junior support, give my avatar enough resources, at least enough to achieve a Supreme Immortal King, so that he can smoothly grow into an Immortal King in the Ancient Immortal Realm and exterminate all enemies."

Lin Jing knew that the great powers of the Immortal Realm would definitely let him stay in the lower realm. He had no ability to refuse. Since that was the case, it was better to take this opportunity to ask the Immortal Realm for enough resources.

Then, with the help of the Ancient Immortal Realm Earth, let the avatar become an Immortal... or even become an Immortal Emperor.

Only by jumping out of this chessboard of the lower realm can he have the opportunity to become a chess player like the Demon Lord and the East Radiance Immortal Emperor in the future.

Whether it is the avatar going to the Ancient Immortal Realm or the pets ascending.

If the main body, avatar, and pets all stay in the lower realm, then one can really see the end of one's life. One can only be a pawn for the various Immortal Emperors to counter the Demon Clan for a lifetime.

Of course, letting the avatar be independent of the main body and transcend several great realms to become an Immortal Emperor first had never happened before. Lin Jing was just gambling, so he needed to ask the Immortal Realm for enough resources. Relying solely on the opportunities of the Ancient Immortal Realm... was not enough!

The East Radiance Immortal Emperor pondered for a long time and said: "This strategy is feasible."

He didn't care what Lin Jing had in mind; as long as he could indeed resist the Demon Clan, that was enough.

"What do you want? Just speak up. Anything that can be satisfied will be satisfied for you." ===== CHAPTER 636 =====
