Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 4 Chapter 95: Nascent Soul Cave Heaven

“Senior, this isn’t what you just said would happen.”

Lin Jing’s mouth twitched. If it were just the Eternal Life Constitution, the First Ancient Emperor wouldn’t have reacted like that. There must be something more in the bloodline the other party detected—something hidden beyond just the Eternal Life Constitution.

“Ahaha, kid, you know how fast someone with the Eternal Life Constitution can cultivate. Forget it, maybe my powers have weakened too much and I made a mistake in observation. When I awaken again, I’ll do another reading.”

“When that time comes, I’ll definitely find you a disciple with talent rivaling an immortal body and potential for Seeking the Way.”

After he finished speaking, the image of the First Ancient Emperor vanished due to the strain of the observation, leaving Lin Jing and Gao Sheng looking at each other.

The First Ancient Emperor’s nervous expression was written all over his face.

What exactly did he see?

“Brother Lin, Master just...”

“Once you’ve got the dragon veins, you can come find me at Ling Dao Sect. By then, I should be cultivating there using the power of the Dao-Comprehending Fish.”

“Alright… but are you planning to look for the person Master observed just now?” Gao Sheng asked.

“Whatever made the First Ancient Emperor react that way, refusing to let me take that person as a disciple, really got my curiosity going. I don’t know the exact details or location, but just knowing they have the Eternal Life Constitution is probably enough.”

“When it comes to detecting cultivation physiques in this world, aside from the First Ancient Emperor, the Yin Household Sect was unrivaled. When it was destroyed, the Demon Court seized a huge amount of their secret arts. Next, I’ll cultivate those Yin Household techniques and use my blood to search for cultivators with similar constitutions.”

“Even if I don’t take them as a disciple, leaving someone with the Eternal Life Constitution wandering outside is too dangerous. I’d better bring them back to the Demon Court and protect them properly,” Lin Jing said. Gao Sheng nodded—he really didn’t think the First Ancient Emperor needed to be that anxious.

Who could it possibly be, that even Lin Jing wasn’t allowed to take them as a disciple? That’s a bit much.

...

After Lin Jing’s avatar parted ways with Gao Sheng, he headed toward Ling Dao Sect, while his real body also set off on the path from Qingzhou back to the ancient kingdom’s Ling Dao Sect, planning to reunite with his avatar.

Regarding the matter of the fifth contracted beast, after seeing the First Ancient Emperor’s abilities, Lin Jing finally made his decision: he would still rely on the elder’s power, have him observe the fate of the world, and see what sort of beast would be best suited for him.

However, before Lin Jing’s real body even left the boundaries of Qingzhou, something that was both expected and unexpected came looking for him again.

While riding the Mechanized Turtle and flashing through the void, Lin Jing suddenly looked up mid-teleport—only to see a massive pillar of light descending from the sky.

“It’s arriving now?”

“A cave heaven…”

It was indeed a cave heaven. As expected, one descended right after Lin Jing broke through to a new realm. Lin Jing smiled. He didn’t exactly like these unplanned events, but since the Immortal Camp’s cave heaven insisted on gifting him an opportunity, he couldn’t refuse.

“I wonder if you…” Lin Jing had just started to ask if the Mechanized Turtle could enter, when before he could finish his sentence, he and the other contracted beasts were pulled into the cave heaven. Meanwhile, the Mechanized Turtle was directly bounced off by the cave heaven’s pillar of light, looking utterly confused.

“D*mn…” After being flung away, the Mechanized Turtle vaguely heard the laughter of a koi fish, as if it were saying: finally, someone else missed out on a lucky chance.

That koi fish—Koi Little Emperor—had finally found a “predecessor” who wasn’t a turtle.

At the same time, across the Tianyuan Minor Land, seven Nascent Soul-stage prodigies were also chosen by the cave heaven.

In the ancient kingdom, inside the Heavenly Sword Sect, just as Cold Moon Sword Immortal Feng Ning returned to the sect to prepare for her breakthrough into Divine Transformation, she suddenly looked up and was sucked into the cave entrance.

“I thought I wouldn’t encounter a cave heaven opportunity until after the Nascent Soul stage. So it’s finally here.”

In the ancient domain, Tianyuan Ancient City, at the Eighth Prince’s residence, the prince—at half a step into Divine Transformation—also looked up and responded to the cave heaven’s summons, voluntarily stepping into it.

“A cave heaven, a fortune of the Immortal Palace… I wonder if this time, I can change my fate and make Father look at me instead of just my older brother.”

Elsewhere in Qingzhou, at the Tongtian Tower, the registered disciple of the Tower Master—also the most skilled prodigy of the tower, Du Zao—looked up in surprise at the light from the cave heaven.

“This is... Maybe I can use this opportunity to gain even greater strength! Breaking through to Divine Transformation isn’t hard for me, but surpassing those freaks at the same level—that’s what’s really difficult!”

The last one was also from the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

In the greater domain, a white-clothed girl walking among the clouds saw the light of the cave heaven and rubbed her eyes.

“Whoa, can’t believe it! I, Bai Yuran, just broke through to Nascent Soul and already get a chance to enter a Nascent Soul-level cave heaven…”

Five beams of cave heaven light fell upon the ancient kingdom and Qingzhou, sweeping up five prodigies from these two great fortune-rich regions.

A moment later.

At one side of a massive arena, the figures of Lin Jing and the other four slowly materialized. Inside this cave heaven, aside from the arena, there was nothing else.

At that moment, the five of them looked at each other—Lin Jing was surprised, Cold Moon Sword Immortal was shocked, the Third Prince and Du Zao both had dark expressions, and the young junior sister from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Bai Yuran, was simply stunned.

Lin Jing and Cold Moon Sword Immortal were surprised to see each other here. The Third Prince and Du Zao were annoyed that they’d been matched with Lin Jing. Only Bai Yuran, although shocked to see these people here, was even more shocked by the cave heaven itself...

Before the cave heaven could even introduce its rules, Bai Yuran exclaimed in surprise, “The Twin-Realm Cave Heaven?! This cave heaven hasn’t appeared in over ten thousand years…”

“But it’s fine… since it’s you guys, we’re in good hands.”

“Everyone, don’t worry! This cave heaven doesn’t require us to compete against each other!”

“According to the records from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, in the Immortal Palace’s cave heavens, there is one particularly unique cave heaven that connects two realms!”

“As everyone knows, Tianyuan Realm is a subordinate cultivation realm under the Immortal Palace, but very few people are aware that the Immortal Palace actually governs two subordinate realms. There’s another one called the Tianming Realm, also under the Immortal Palace’s control.”

“It’s said that during the Immortal Palace era, the two cultivation realms used to communicate often. But after the Immortal Camp era ended, they lost all contact. The only opportunity for interaction now—is through this cave heaven. Among all the cave heavens, this one connects both realms, creating a two-sided contest where each realm becomes a team. The prodigies of both realms compete, and the victorious side earns all the opportunities within the cave heaven! The losing side gets punished.”

“But this cross-realm cave heaven rarely appears. According to the records, the last time it showed up was tens of thousands of years ago. I really didn’t expect… wow…”

“Twin-Realm Cave Heaven?” Everyone else was shocked too. At that moment, on the other side of the arena, the silhouettes of five Nascent Soul-stage prodigies appeared.
