Chapter 618: The Path to Ascension Reopens (Volume 6 Ends)

Wiped out the five great Demon Generals, and his strength... is limited?

"Im-Immortal, it seems to be true?"

The Nine-Turn Star Lord wore an expression of astonishment.

Was this intelligence actually true?

"This..." Chen Shengtian stood frozen in place. No, who exactly is this Lin Jing?! Who exactly... is this sacred being?

Defeated the five great Demon Generals with the strength of one person? Are you kidding me?

Looking at the Wuji Fairy, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

If it were true, then hadn't he... come down to the lower realm through a life-and-death struggle for nothing?

"Lin Jing, my master was poisoned by the Demon Generals and needs their essence blood to be cured. You..." Li Tianyi grabbed control of his body again and spoke to Lin Jing on the other side.

"Demon poison, is it." Lin Jing took out a drop of Demon General essence blood he had harvested during the battle. Feeling it wasn't enough, he bundled it with a crystal of holy power and connected these to the bait.

He let the Immortal Bait be reeled back, and the spatial vortex slowly closed.

Afterward, he continued to pursue the two fleeing Demon Generals.

…………

A moment later, the Fishing Elder, having received the Demon General essence blood and the holy power crystal, successfully cured his poison. Seeing that Lin Jing was fine and had even produced the essence blood, the leaders no longer hesitated.

"Pass down the order."

"Summon all cultivators above the Empty Profound Realm from every allied realm. The counterattack has begun."

The Wan Ling Daoist Nun took a deep breath. The Immortal Cultivation Alliance had persisted for so many years and finally waited for the "Child of Luck" of the lower realm. Now that Lin Jing had wiped out the Demon Generals, the Heavenly Demon Sect would no longer be a threat.

Wiping out the Demon cultivators scattered across the star regions was just a matter of time!

…………

Immortal Realm.

After the Demon Master failed to strike at Lin Jing, he looked coldly in one direction.

"Immortal Emperor Donghuang."

"The Child of Destiny who appeared in the lower realm seems to be your masterpiece."

Immortal Emperor Donghuang’s figure condensed outside the Heavenly Demon Sect. At this time, the Demon Lord also walked out slowly.

"Teacher, you may step back."

The Demon Lord looked at this Human Immortal Emperor and said: "The ascension channel between the Immortal Realm and the lower realm is interrupted. To obtain destiny, one can only rely on the Ancient Immortal Realm. As the last ascender from Earth, I underestimated your understanding of the Ancient Immortal Realm."

The plan in the lower realm was ruined, but the Demon Lord was not angry; he appeared very calm.

Seeing this, Immortal Emperor Donghuang did not understand why the other party was so calm. A plan laid out for countless years had fallen short at the final hurdle; did the Demon Lord not care at all?

"Farewell."

A moment later, the Demon Lord waved his large sleeve, and Immortal Emperor Donghuang’s phantom shattered.

The Demon Sect directly sealed the mountain. At the same time, various immortal sects were shocked to discover that the path to ascension, which had been sealed by the Demon Lord with a Heavenly Dao supreme treasure for countless years... seemed to have reopened!

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Inside the Heavenly Demon Sect, although the Demon Master had his guesses, he still asked the Demon Lord for the reason.

"This game was indeed a move behind for our race. I did not expect the Ancient Immortal Realm to revive at this time, and even give birth to destiny, allowing Immortal Emperor Donghuang to cultivate a Child of Destiny."

"With a Child of Destiny in the lower realm, no matter what resources our race invests in the lower realm, it will only serve as a wedding dress for others."

"If the ascension channel remains closed, then the Child of Destiny will always guard the lower realm. With the physique of a Child of Destiny, even without ascending to the Immortal Realm, his lifespan is comparable to a true immortal. With such long years, the Demon Race's grand plan for revival cannot be stalled for too long because of one person."

"On the contrary, if the ascension channel is reopened, with such talent and potential, do you think he will choose to continue guarding the lower realm, or will he be unable to resist... ascending to the Immortal Realm?"

"Let him be talented and peerless in the lower realm, but once he reaches the Immortal Realm, if he does not become an Immortal Emperor, he is ultimately an ant. Even if he becomes an Immortal Emperor, he will be like other Immortal Emperors, unable to do anything against the Demon Race holding the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure."

"At the same time, the initiative to open and close the ascension channel is still in the hands of our race. Waiting for him to ascend and then closing the ascension channel again is far simpler than killing this person in the lower realm at all costs."

"Of course... we hope he ascends, but in order to keep him stationed in the lower realm to prevent our sect from making a comeback, other forces will likely not let him ascend easily. They might even prevent him from ascending, forcing him to stay in the lower realm to counter our race."

"Even if this person is given countless resources, how many cultivators have no desire to ascend? Besides... the ascension channel is open, and while other forces can establish contact with the lower realm, the same is true for our Demon Race. We can send immortals to the lower realm. It is difficult to kill this Child of Destiny, but it is easier to design a way for him to mistakenly enter the ascension channel."

"By then, other forces will prevent him from ascending, but our Demon Sect can help him ascend, join the Demon Race, and prove the Dao as an Immortal Emperor. There is no hostile relationship that cannot be resolved by interests."

The Demon Master nodded. Now, this was indeed the only thing to do.

At the same time, even if Lin Jing doesn't ascend, what about those close to him?

By then, everything will be out of his control.

Perhaps... he looked at the Demon Lord and said: "At the same time, the opening of the ascension channel also makes it more convenient for our race's powerhouses to go to the lower realm, head to the Ancient Immortal Realm, and retrieve the clan-suppressing demon artifacts and the ancestors' remains!"

The Demon Lord nodded: "Correct. If we can retrieve the ancestors' remains and the clan-suppressing demon artifacts, it will also be a huge enhancement for our Demon Sect. Although it cannot compare to refining the entire lower realm, for now, we can only sacrifice the greater for the lesser."

…………

"This is... the ascension channel?"

Lin Jing, who was pursuing the two fleeing Demon Generals, suddenly discovered that he was vaguely receiving a summons from the Immortal Realm, and the power of ascension was lingering around his body. He immediately suppressed it, understanding that the Demon Sect must be trying to use this method to lure him away from the lower realm.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, it would be difficult for him to return.

Without him, as long as the Heavenly Demon Sect closed the ascension channel again, after a period of time, the situation in the lower realm would still return to what it was before.

"The temptation of ascension, is it." Lin Jing took a deep breath.

"Cannot let him ascend." At the same time, in the Immortal Realm, after Immortal Emperor Donghuang’s explanation, many forces hostile to the Demon Race finally understood the situation in the lower realm: it was a Child of Destiny secretly cultivated by Immortal Emperor Donghuang who had dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Race’s forces in the lower realm.

This forced the Demon Lord to open the ascension channel, wanting to summon this variable to the Immortal Realm.

Several Immortal Emperors immediately judged that the lower realm could not be without Lin Jing, and they expressed to Immortal Emperor Donghuang their desire not to let Lin Jing ascend.

"Since this person was cultivated by you, he should listen to your orders, right?" The Immortal Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Mountain asked Immortal Emperor Donghuang.

"If he ascends, the lower realm will surely return to its previous pattern." The Extreme Dao Immortal Emperor said.

"Donghuang, what do you think?"

"I will do my best." Immortal Emperor Donghuang shook his head. Although Lin Jing was a Child of Destiny he had planned and plotted for, due to the previous closure of the ascension channel, he had only taken the opportunity to send a strand of immortal spirit into the lower realm. After completing the mission, the immortal spirit had completely dissipated. He did not know much about this Lin Jing; one could even say he knew nothing at all.

He also did not know if this Lin Jing was willing to dedicate his life to countering the Demon Race, forever guarding the lower realm, and becoming a supreme being of the lower realm who could never ascend...
