Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 73: Dire Calamity


"Have you finally found me?"

The mysterious girl in the white skirt smiled slightly, as Lin Jing watched her, she lightly flew to him, a waft of fragrant wind came with her, Lin Jing frowned slightly, seeing the girl in the white skirt directly grabbing his wrist.

Snap!

Lin Jing shook off her hand, his Vajra Fist directly struck, but it was effortlessly resolved by the opponent.

"Who exactly are you, and what is your aim?"

Longevity Body...

The white skirt girl's lips moved slightly, making Lin Jing's expression shift. How did she know he possessed the Longevity Body?

"Don't be nervous, I'm Bai Yuran, the twenty-seventh generation disciple of Celestial Secret Tower, I mean no harm to you." The girl in the white skirt smiled slightly, clapped her hands, and said, "I just needed to confirm this again, and it seems I wasn't wrong."

"Disciple of Celestial Secret Tower?"

Lin Jing had considered she might be from the Demon Extermination Bureau, thought perhaps she was the Sect Leader's adopted daughter, or even from the Yin Corpse Sect, but he never considered she was from Celestial Secret Tower.

Yet the Celestial Secret Tower was said to know everything under the heavens, directly deducing his Longevity Body wasn't surprising.

"What do you want with me?" Lin Jing asked, the disciples of Celestial Secret Tower rarely ventured into the Cultivation Realm and almost never meddled in worldly affairs, so why suddenly appear at the Beast Taming Sect's Saint Heir ceremony?

Bai Yuran looked at Lin Jing sorrowfully and pensively and said, "Little brother, you bear the Longevity Body, destined for a troubled fate, and will become the target of many monsters calling themselves emperors and ancestors in the future."

"What's in the gourd you're selling?" Lin Jing shook his head and said, "This should have nothing to do with your Celestial Secret Tower."

"The South Mountain Demon Emperor that appeared in Hidden Dragon City suddenly, must be after you." Bai Yuran extended her finger, waved it lightly, and laughed, "Although you were lucky to escape that calamity, if there is a next time, surely you won't always be so lucky, right?"

"But if someone could deduce the future for you, letting you know months, even years in advance when a crisis will strike, then even if you possess the Longevity Body, you would have a high chance to survive until the end, wouldn't you agree?"

"Are you suggesting you are that person?" Lin Jing asked.

"Correct!" Bai Yuran pounded her chest and said, "As Celestial Secret Tower's twenty-seventh generation's most outstanding disciple, I want to cooperate with you, deducing the impending crises related to you, how does that sound?"

Lin Jing remained expressionless, assisting without agenda, either pretense or theft.

"Just speak directly."

"I won't hide from you." Bai Yuran said, "Celestial Secret Tower disciples deploy Celestial Secret Technique, deducing heavenly secrets, oftentimes at the cost of their own lifespan."

"Therefore, Celestial Secret Tower cultivators don't easily perform major deductions, but given Celestial Secret Tower's position in the Cultivation Realm, inevitably many powerful individuals seek Celestial Secret Tower for deductions, hence within Celestial Secret Tower's Celestial Secret Technique, there exists a small trick."

"When conducting fate-related deductions for specific individuals, if they cooperate, then the target can stand in place of the Celestial Secret Technique's user, consuming over ninety-nine percent of the lifespan cost."

"So you understand, right?"

Lin Jing nodded, understanding: "You deducing the future would likely suffer Heavenly Dao backlash, losing lifespan, but you have a way to make the target you deduce endure the lifespan loss instead, and since I possess the Longevity Body, you think even losing some lifespan is negligible."

"On the other hand, you should also gain some benefits after deducing for me, like the effectiveness of Celestial Secret Technique."

"Correct again!" Bai Yuran smiled slightly and said, "Compared to the potential crises, a bit of lifespan isn't much of a concern for you, is it?"

In Bai Yuran's eyes, Lin Jing was a living power extraction tool, ordinary people would never have a fate like Lin Jing, and for most cultivators, lifespan is extremely precious, but only a Longevity Body can afford such heedless squander.

Bai Yuran feels, as long as she can reach an agreement with Lin Jing, there would be no need for her to seclude for eighty years within Celestial Secret Tower, soon the Celestial Secret Technique would slightly succeed, allowing her to roam the world.

"I'm quite the treat, aren't I?" Lin Jing himself felt helpless too, he didn't immediately give Bai Yuran a reply, knowing her identity was enough for now. At this time, the ceremony was about to begin, he being the protagonist from the Beast Taming Sect's side, it was time for him to appear.

"Little brother, reconsider it, I'll give you a free divination first! You are under ominous signs recently!!" Bai Yuran waved her hand as Lin Jing left.

At the moment, above the Beast Taming Sect's plaza, several Demon King Ancestor's avatars floated in the air, demon power overwhelming, Lin Jing, summoned by the ancestors, began to make his presence too.

"Is that Lin Jing?"

The Heaven's Chosen list didn't include pictures, many cultivators were seeing Lin Jing for the first time, his clothing white as snow, his long black hair bound with a simple wooden hairpin, gently fluttering in the wind, appearing quite carefree and handsome.

"This young man's power is truly terrifying."

Even though Lin Jing hid his cultivation, many strong individuals seeing Lin Jing's eyes deep like an ice abyss couldn't help but feel amazed, two disciples from Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also paid special attention to Lin Jing, but couldn't discern anything else.

The ceremony officially began, Lin Jing slowly walked up the Beast Taming Sect's Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, behind him were Beast Taming Sect's elders holding their Beast Taming artifacts, faces solemn, following closely.

Reaching the end of the cloud ladder, Lin Jing stopped, afterward, the Heaven-Dominating Ancestor's Pet Beast King, condensed into human form with mana, held a simple turtle shell in his hands, gazing at Lin Jing.

This was the sect's beast treasure, the turtle shell shed by the Heaven-Dominating Ancestor, through generations every Saint Heir had to acquire at least one token from Demon King Ancestors to truly become the Beast Taming Sect's heir. Heaven-Dominating Ancestor slowly raised the turtle shell, solemnly declaring to the four sides, "Today, we officially enshrine Lin Jing as our Beast Taming Sect's sixth generation Saint Heir, wishing he carries forward the legacy, strengthening our Beast Taming Sect!"

After saying this, Lin Jing received the turtle shell: "I, Lin Jing, will not disappoint the expectations of my predecessors, use beast taming to prove the Dao, safeguard the sect, extend the name of Beast Taming Sect, let the light of the Dao illuminate all realms and worlds!"

"Hahaha, very good." Several Demon King Ancestors laughed aloud.

"Certainly, on such a grand occasion, we cannot lack martial challenges to add excitement, today our Beast Taming Sect's Saint Heir has just succeeded, wondering if there's any Heaven's Chosen from the Great Wilderness wishing to challenge?"

After the enshrinement, Lin Jing waved his sleeve, instantly sitting on a sky table before him, picking up a teacup.

"Challenges are possible, but best if they pass through True Disciples first, not everyone is worthy of me taking action."

According to the procedure, the Beast Taming Sect's True Disciple would fend off a slew of mediocre challengers for Lin Jing, reducing his exertion.

Meanwhile Lin Jing himself, was playing with the turtle shell gifted by Heaven-Dominating Ancestor...

"Seems useless, perhaps gifting the Mechanical Bamboo Turtle is better."
