Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 665 - 27: The Power Structure of the Immortal Realm

Lin Jing listened and remained silent.

Fighting insects and chickens? What kind of prodigal hobby is that?

However, it's not a big problem. To other cultivators, it may indeed seem unprofessional, a plaything that buries one's ambition, but to him, a Beast Taming Cultivator, isn't this an innate Sacred Beast Body?

But fighting insects and chickens and gambling, that's just a bad habit. Gamblers don't meet a good end.

"Doesn't she have great talent? Don't you discipline her?" Lin Jing asked.

Sect Leader Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Her parents died early, and she was born with the Immortal Pupil Body. We raised her personally, loved like a precious granddaughter, but in the end..."

"She was too spoiled, and we couldn't bear to truly punish her."

Sect Leader Wu understood the other Deputy Sect Master's implication. This girl, who they raised personally, they couldn't bear to discipline her, but if they handed her over to an outsider like Lin Jing, surely he could be strict.

Perhaps, this could be an opportunity for change.

The main thing is, Lin Jing indeed seems to possess real skills. By learning from Lin Jing, she might find more interest in other things, and abandon the bad habit of fighting insects and chickens and gambling.

"I understand." Lin Jing also understood their intention and said, "Then let this disciple be taught by me, but let's make it clear, I won't be like you. If she refuses discipline, I, as her master, will definitely punish."

The three of them cupped their hands towards Lin Jing and said, "As long as she's not dead or crippled, you can punish her as you see fit."

"By the way, may I know your name, fellow cultivator?" Sect Leader Wu suddenly realized he hadn't asked Lin Jing's name.

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "Lin Qi, a mere Loose Cultivator."

"Fellow Cultivator Lin Qi, from today onward, you are the third Deputy Sect Master of our Invincible Sect."

Sect Leader Wu's name is Wu Zhengxuan, the patriarch of the Wu family, the person with the highest cultivation. The lady's name is Wu Yuehen, and the other elder's name is Wu Mochen.

Lin Jing is probably the only one who holds a key position in the Invincible Sect with an outside surname.

"Alas, the environment of the Invincible Sect is simple. We will soon find a dwelling for fellow cultivator, please don't mind."

"Naturally, I won't," Lin Jing replied, "Where is this disciple of mine?"

"As for Ling Xi..." Deputy Sect Master Wu Yuehen's celestial sense moved, face darkening, "I haven't seen her just now. As expected, she's likely snuck out of the sect and gone to the gambling house in Red Moon City."

"Such a profligate!" Wu Mochen sighed as well. Gambling is one thing, but the key is that this girl rarely wins. The Invincible Sect isn't wealthy to begin with. Isn't this adding insult to injury?

"Not very clever, either," Wu Zhengxuan shook his head. As someone with an Immortal Pupil Body, she could profit if she chose the right gambling project, yet... she chooses beast fights, rendering her Immortal Pupil useless.

Of course, this also minimizes the risk of being caught cheating, at least she won't be beaten to death.

"It's alright... Red Moon City, is it? I'll go find her myself later."

......

They began preparing a dwelling for Lin Jing, while Lin Jing's celestial sense started restlessly wandering through the Invincible Sect.

His main target of exploration was the Library Pavilion of the Invincible Sect.

It wasn't about stealing others' cultivation techniques and divine techniques; the third incarnation that inherited the abilities of seven pet beasts was least lacking in divine techniques. What he sought was some common knowledge about the Immortal Realm.

Some miscellaneous books recorded oddities of the continent.

Although he had some understanding in the lower realms, he still planned to gain knowledge through multiple channels in the Immortal Realm.

After all, information received in the lower realms was passive, whereas in the Immortal Realm, he could actively explore. Different perspectives would yield different discoveries.

"Currently, there are nine Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm."

"Four Human Immortal Emperors: Eastward Immortal Emperor, Extreme Path Immortal Emperor, Exquisite Immortal Emperor, Solitary Immortal Emperor."

"Among them, aside from the solitary Immortal Emperor, who is independent, the other three have their own forces."

"Three Demon Immortal Emperors: Master of Heavenly Demon Mountain, initiator of the Demon Star Project, Longevity Empress, Patriarch of the Star Crane Clan, Prison Suppression Immortal Emperor, whose true form is a turtle, indifferent to worldly affairs; no one knows what it suppresses in the ocean's forbidden zone."

"Additionally, there's the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, the Demon Emperor."

"And finally, the Bamboo Forest Immortal Emperor, who proves the path through immortality."

"These are the Immortal Emperors openly known."

"In the last two battles involving Immortal Emperor Realms in the Immortal Realm, both saw the death of an Immortal Emperor."

"One was during the Demon Lord's ascension to Emperor, where an Immortal Emperor died in the struggle for the Demon Lord's Celestial Dao Treasure."

"The other was far older, when three ancient Immortal Realms entered the End of Dharma Era, and a group of foreign Immortal Emperors attempted to enter this Immortal Realm. The local Immortal Emperors naturally wouldn't allow it easily, as a realm's resources are limited. This led to the most brutal battle between Immortal Emperors, resulting in the death of an Immortal Emperor."

"More foreign Immortal Emperors died."

"Of course, one cannot rule out the possibility of Immortal Emperors feigning death. After all, killing an Immortal Emperor is no easy feat. There's always been speculation that some Immortal Emperors aren't truly dead, just secretly healing. So, nine Immortal Emperors are the publicly known ones in the Immortal Realm."

"Perhaps there are hidden Immortal Emperors."

Lin Jing let out a breath.

The current goal is to find a way to become one of them!

Of course, with the current realm of the third incarnation, cultivating diligently is best; there's no need to think too far ahead.

The lower realm has opportunities, the ancient Immortal Realm has opportunities, and naturally, the Immortal Realm has its own opportunities.

The task of the third incarnation is to investigate which forces conspired with the Demon Clan to invade the ancient Celestial Court back then while seeking as many opportunities in the Immortal Realm to strengthen himself and send plenty of great items to the main self and the second incarnation.

Such items, even among the nine Immortal Emperor traditions, may not be found.

For instance, the Invincible Sect, possibly associated with a secret route opener, might represent an opportunity.

And there should be many such opportunities in the Immortal Realm, waiting to be explored.

......

A few days later.

In the Immortal Realm city, Red Moon City.

Red Moon City is an independent power, practically ruled by a Cultivator family named the Chi family, which has an Immortal Monarch overseeing them.

In Red Moon City, most of the venues like taverns, gambling houses, and pill pavilions are naturally owned by the Chi family. So, it was wise for Wu Lingxi not to use her Immortal Pupil for cheating. If discovered, the Invincible Sect couldn't protect her. The Chi family is far stronger than the Invincible Sect.

"Peck it, peck its eyes!!!"

"Quick, quick, quick, have you forgotten the divine technique I taught you?!"

In the Red Moon Gambling House, the Beast Fighting Arena, a young girl commands a Divinity Transformation Nine-Colored Rooster on the stage to battle a Divinity Transformation Black Chicken Demon relentlessly, ultimately leading the Nine-Colored Rooster, full of holes from pecks, to fall gravely injured, leaving the girl in despair.

"Lost again."

"No spending money for the year, not even a single Immortal Jade."

Lin Jing entered the Beast Fighting Arena, looked at the lively 'beast fighting' on the platforms, and fell into thought. It seemed... not very meaningful.

However, from a Beast Taming Cultivator's viewpoint, this beast fighting naturally seemed insignificant. Yet, in reality, it's merely a game for many prodigals, unrelated to personal cultivation. The level of those cultivating such beasts couldn't compare with the Beast Taming heritage of the ancient Immortal King traditions, let alone the current Immortal Palace lineage...
