Chapter 641: Ascension

The choices made by the Demon Emperor, Mo Song, and the others left Lin Jing feeling both helpless and amused.

The Ancient Immortal World might not be as wonderful as they imagined, and in the future, it would also be the center of a vortex.

However, the current Immortal World isn't exactly wonderful either. Although the Xiangong was once the orthodoxy of the Immortal Emperor, it has now fallen to the level of an Immortal King orthodoxy.

Although its former imperial-level foundation might make other forces wary, ensuring the Xiangong stands tall in the Immortal World without being infringed upon, as an Immortal King orthodoxy, it is difficult for the Xiangong to guarantee the safety of every disciple in the Immortal World.

Not to mention, they are ascenders from the Tianyuan World.

The demons of the Immortal World will certainly harbor hatred for the ascenders of the Tianyuan World because of him, so that side isn't very safe either, unless one stays hidden within the Xiangong to cultivate and never ventures out into the Immortal World.

Lin Jing's true self also began to cultivate.

Compared to the avatar, what the true self needs to do is to accept this gift from the Immortal World along with his pet beasts.

Boundless Immortal Body, Reincarnation Immortal Body.

Demon Emperor True Blood of the Demon Clan.

One can significantly enhance the true self's own foundation, while the other greatly expands the potential of each pet beast.

Except for the Mechanism Turtle.

This guy is a combination of a mechanism beast and a spirit body; there is no way to improve its bloodline by absorbing the Demon Emperor's true blood...

Therefore, while the other pet beasts are cultivating their bloodlines, Lin Jing must think of other ways... so as not to let the Mechanism Turtle fall too far behind.

This point may have to rely on the Immortal World again. Now that the Cultivation World and the Immortal World are connected once more, immortals can suppress their realms to descend to the lower world and send down resources from the Immortal World. Thus, the mechanism arts of the Immortal World and higher-level mechanism materials will be the focus of Lin Jing's study and acquisition.

"You go."

Lin Jing looked at the Mechanism Turtle. Since it cannot receive the Demon Emperor's true blood, then... it should go wander first and wait quietly for future opportunities.

"A Tianyuan World is, for you now, a bit too small."

"The vastness of the Cultivation World is something even the Immortal World cannot compare to. Not counting the secret realms opened by great beings of the Immortal World, the four immortal worlds combined are only on par with the Cultivation World in terms of space."

"In such a vast lower world, we have enough time to explore. I look forward to you bringing back some good news."

"Don't worry!" The Mechanism Turtle was very carefree. Compared to staying obediently in the Tianyuan World to cultivate like the other pet beasts, it couldn't endure that; wandering is its Dao!

"Fair winds." Before the Mechanism Turtle left, Lin Jing updated its talents. He no longer let the Mechanism Turtle search for life-extending items. After having the Undying Tree, life-extending items in the lower world were dispensable to Lin Jing.

Even for extending others' lives, his Longevity Immortal Body and the power of the Star Longevity Crane were far better than ordinary life-extending items.

So now, the Mechanism Turtle's task is to search for those ancient artifacts.

The older the thing, the better.

Since there exists a place in the lower world containing holy power like the Pangu Continent, perhaps in some unknown corner, there are even more astonishing things.

After all, no matter how the eras change, the four immortal worlds and the Cultivation World remain. The Cultivation World has experienced many eras. If the Mechanism Turtle is lucky enough to dig up treasures from the previous era or inheritances left by powerhouses of a certain era, it is not entirely impossible.

To stay in the lower world for so long, Lin Jing must explore this Cultivation World comprehensively. In the lower world, only he has this time, energy, and strength.

…………

The years of the two worlds were passing at a certain rate.

The Heavenly Demon Sect completely abandoned the lower world. At least during Lin Jing's time in the Tianyuan World, he never received information from the Cultivation Alliance that any place was being plagued by demons.

His task was said to be guarding the lower world, but in reality, it was very leisurely, leaving Lin Jing with ample time for cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.

The entire lower world remained calm, as if it had returned to its former pattern. During this millennium, he had been receiving the power of the Boundless Immortal Body and had not done anything else.

As for the pet beasts, they all successfully cultivated their bloodlines to the potential of an Immortal King level. However, although bloodline is not cultivation realm, too strong a potential is still suppressed by the rules of the lower world. Although they all cultivated to the Immortal King level bloodline, in terms of the power they could exert, they were still lacking compared to a true Immortal King bloodline.

It is estimated that they will need to ascend to the Immortal World before they can activate the full potential of their bloodlines.

Over the millennium, more and more cultivators in the Tianyuan World chose to ascend. Even the geniuses from the same era as Lin Jing had begun to ascend.

Although it hadn't reached the point of "seas changing into mulberry fields" and "people being different," those who shared experiences and intersections with Lin Jing undoubtedly began to become fewer and fewer with the opening of the ascension channel.

"In a few more thousand years, I'm afraid the people in the lower world who have spoken to me can be counted on two hands," Lin Jing smiled, shook his head, and sighed deeply.

"It's still better on the avatar's side. A millennium has passed here, but less than three years have passed there..."

Ancient Immortal World, Earth.

Although less than three years had passed in the Ancient Immortal World, the changes in the entire world were much faster than in the calm and ripple-less lower world.

The avatar was in seclusion in the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, ignoring worldly affairs. With the intensification of the spiritual energy recovery, the outside world had entered a comprehensive era of cultivation. Even those ordinary people without any aptitude for cultivation, after being bathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, all became good seedlings for cultivation.

Some diseases and physical health problems that could not be overcome in the past had completely disappeared in this era.

Countries no longer hid the spiritual energy recovery, and they couldn't hide it anyway. Those naturally evolved spirits and ghosts became increasingly difficult to control.

Every country established academies to teach cultivation, and various sects and factions began to recruit disciples widely, appearing in the public eye.

This was the change, but what remained unchanged was that in order for children to attend a good cultivation school, one still had to buy "school district housing" and carry a mortgage...

"Congratulations, kid."

In the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, immortal mist permeated, and immortal power circulated in Lin Jing's body, nourishing his whole body. Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit, Immortal Body, Immortal Soul... After nearly three years of bitter cultivation—counting the time formation, who knows how many years—Lin Jing's avatar finally ascended to the ranks of True Immortals as the rules of Earth gradually recovered.

First Heaven of the True Immortal Realm.

True Immortal, Immortal Monarch, Immortal King, each realm has nine heavens. The avatar opened his eyes and spat out a purple mist: "Thank you, Senior, for guarding the law. However, my successful breakthrough also shows that the current Earth can bear the descent of a True Immortal..."

"The enemy might come soon."

"No, it seems they are here now. Although... this enemy is not that enemy." Lin Jing felt the plea for help from the Ice Soul sub-gu; it seemed the sub-gu had encountered trouble it couldn't solve.

It was not the demons, but the ancient cultivators of the Ancient Immortal World who had also awakened, and the official Dao Alliance could not suppress them. ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
