Vol 7 Chapter 33: An Old Friend from the Lower Realm

Lin Jing sensed around and discovered that within the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, there were two familiar fluctuations of spiritual power, both from old acquaintances from the Lower Realm.

The first source came from a temporary cave dwelling. Even though the cave dwelling had layer upon layer of restrictions outside, they still couldn't block Lin Jing's immortal consciousness.

The cultivator inside the cave dwelling had reached the eighth level of the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Lord Realm. If Lin Jing's perception wasn't wrong, it should be one of the alliance leaders of the Cultivation Alliance, Ten Thousand Spirits Taoist Nun!

She possessed an Inborn Immortal Physique and Dao Embryo, and was one of the three strongest cultivators from the Lower Realm in the past. Having ascended for so long, even without any faction backing, reaching the Immortal Lord Realm through her own cultivation wasn't strange at all. Moreover, with such talent and being someone who had contributed to demon extermination, it was impossible for her not to have gained the appreciation of great powers.

She had actually also come to the ruins of Creation Immortal King.

Lin Jing didn't have a deep friendship with Ten Thousand Spirits Taoist Nun, but after all, they had held positions together for a period of time and had met on several occasions.

As for the other person, compared to her, Lin Jing was much more familiar.

He looked towards the sky beyond, where in the void, a stone being was sitting cross-legged on a debris rock, conserving energy and building up strength. It wasn't the Spirit King from the Tianyuan Realm, but rather... the Meteor Spirit Beast, the disciple of Fuzzy Immortal.

Not long after the ascension channel opened, both Fuzzy Immortal and the Meteor Spirit Beast ascended together and returned to the Immortal Realm. Lin Jing hadn't paid attention to them afterwards, and after not seeing them for so long, the Meteor Spirit Beast had actually reached the fifth level of the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Lord Realm, with cultivation level catching up to Fang Ling the Daoist Nun.

The worth of spirit creatures from the Origin Realm was still rising.

"Master, what's wrong?" Lin Jing and Wu Lingxi landed on a mountain peak. Seeing that Lin Jing wasn't taking any further action, Wu Lingxi leaned forward and asked.

"Nothing." Lin Jing smiled and said, "There are two Immortal Kings in this Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, likely guardians of some two immortal prodigies. The number of Immortal Lords is even greater, so we need to be careful."

"Yes!" Wu Lingxi obediently nodded and said, "Master, what do we do next? Do we directly enter the ruins of Creation Immortal King?"

"We can't enter right now." Lin Jing said, "The ruins of Creation Immortal King open once every ten years. There are still six months until the next opening."

"During these six months, we'll cultivate nearby first. I grant you the freedom to move independently. You can find other True Immortal Realm cultivators to exchange insights with, gaining practical combat experience before entering the ruins. But remember, don't cause any trouble."

"Great! Don't worry, I'm an honest disciple." Wu Lingxi repeatedly nodded.

After hesitating, Lin Jing let her leave, but always kept a strand of immortal consciousness following her, worried that something might happen to her.

After this, Lin Jing pondered for a moment himself, then gave up on reuniting with the Meteor Spirit Beast to inquire about his and Fuzzy Immortal's current situation.

After so long, people's hearts easily change. Although Fuzzy Immortal had given him considerable help back in the Lower Realm, when traveling outside, it was better to be wary of these fellow countrymen.

At the same time.

In the Ancient Immortal Realm, on Earth.

The plans of the Third Incarnation were all understood by the incarnation here.

After careful consideration, the incarnation felt that letting the Third Incarnation struggle alone in the Immortal Realm was still too difficult.

"What do you all think? The Third Incarnation has already initially gained a foothold in the Immortal Realm, and it just so happens that Heaven's Mandate is about to emerge in the Immortal Realm with countless opportunities. Should I send one or several of you to also sneak into the Immortal Realm to assist the Third Incarnation?"

Lin Jing looked towards the pet beasts around him.

These pet beasts had clearly all reached the ninth level of the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Lord Realm.

Like the incarnation, they had all reached the lower limit of what Earth could bear.

"You go, you go, you go!"

Before the other pet beasts could respond, the turtle in the corner immediately started spinning around in circles. It was precisely the Mechanized Turtle.

Thirty years!

Cultivating the Path of Wandering, it had truly grown tired of staying on Earth.

Because it had experienced the age of magic decline, countless secret realms and alternate spaces on Earth had collapsed, and the area was much, much smaller than during the ancient Immortal Realm period. As a result, the Mechanized Turtle could travel through the solar system in just a short while, which was the most boring thing for it.

Beyond Earth, the starry sky appeared vast, but actually, similar to the Origin Realm, Earth was located alone in one interface. Those star domains could only be seen but not reached.

To be honest, it had long envied the Third Incarnation for being able to go to the Immortal Realm. Now that there was an opportunity, it immediately volunteered to go support the Third Incarnation.

"Then it's you." Lin Jing looked at the Mechanized Turtle, which was full of technological sense from head to toe, and nodded.

Over the past eighty years, compared to the Lower Realm and Immortal Realm, Earth had truly experienced the most obvious changes, with the most dramatic shifts.

The former political landscape had greatly changed, and the term "cultivation" had integrated into every household. In the country where Lin Jing resided, the nine-year compulsory education had already transformed into twelve-year compulsory immortal cultivation education.

Apart from Lin Jing's group and the revived ancients, the highest among Earth's modern cultivators had also transcended the tribulation of ascension and taken their place among the immortals.

Among them, a genius from the Western cultivation world was particularly interesting. Combining Earth's circumstances, he pioneered the "Path of Technological Immortal Cultivation" and achieved "Mechanical Ascension" himself. His concept was that technology developed to a certain extent would absolutely not be inferior to the immortal path. Lin Jing somewhat agreed with this.

For such a genius, Lin Jing secretly provided him with considerable support and borrowed some of his concepts to further upgrade and improve the Mechanized Turtle.

Now, calling it "Mechanized Turtle" was no longer very accurate;

describing it as a "Mechanical Turtle" was more appropriate.

Combined with the Mechanized Turtle's powerful divine consciousness, plus the powerful analytical capabilities brought by the technological immortal path, its current analysis of various things and spell principles was already comparable to the Main Body who possessed the True Fate Immortal Eyes.

"If you go, you can indeed help the Third Incarnation a lot. However, if exposed, then it would be troublesome." Lin Jing fell into deep thought. If the Mechanized Turtle encountered an accident and died in the Immortal Realm, then at such a great distance, its contract with the Main Body and incarnation would likely be severed, making even resurrection impossible.

After all, the methods of those great powers in the Immortal Realm were far stronger than Lower Realm cultivators, and they could probably easily cut off an enemy's resurrection methods.

"Here's what we'll do. You leave the 'Ingenious Core Soul Component' behind and only take the 'Mechanical Chip' with you. This way, even if something happens to you in the Immortal Realm, we'll have a way to revive you in the future." Lin Jing finally made a decision. If the Ingenious Core Soul Component was the core of being a mechanized beast, then the Mechanical Chip was the core of being a mechanical lifeform. The Mechanized Turtle now possessed both.

When both existed, it represented the peak of its performance. If separated, performance would slightly decrease, but it was still better than having the entire body completely destroyed by enemies.

Several days later.

The Mechanized Turtle became the first of Lin Jing's pet beasts to go to the Immortal Realm.

"A Beast Taming Cultivator, how can they not have pet beasts to assist them? No wonder the Third Incarnation didn't even dare to go out these past few decades. But now that he has a beast control ascension to assist him, the pressure should be much less."

As soon as the Mechanized Turtle arrived at the Invincible Sect, it immediately activated its "Immortal Realm Positioning and Tracking Function," locked onto the Third Incarnation who shared the same contract origin, and headed straight for the ruins of Creation Immortal King... Blasting through ruins, that was its specialty!
