Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 23Book 5: : Deceiving Heaven to Cross the Sea

Vol 5 Chapter 23: Deceiving Heaven to Cross the Sea

"Another demon-blooded cultivator has entered the Origin Realm with astonishing combat power?"

"Fought evenly with the Snow God without immortal energy enhancement?"

"What's happening? The newcomers these days are all so formidable!"

Not only had the Heavenly Demon Sacred Son received this news, but the Cultivation Alliance had also obtained intelligence.

"Find this person and eliminate him immediately," ordered Yan Yunshuang, the leader of the Enforcement Hall, his face dark with malice. "He's severely injured from battling the Snow God - this is the perfect opportunity to kill him!" freёnovelkiss-com

The Enforcement Hall sprang into action. Unlike the Heavenly Demon Realm's scattered talents, the Cultivation Alliance moved as one, seizing this chance.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing's true form had selected an immortal technique from the Cultivation Alliance and entered seclusion again. The technique he chose was simple - "Immortal Binding Chains," a sealing-type immortal art. His purpose wasn't mastery, but research. He hoped to upgrade his existing mortal techniques into immortal arts by studying how to power them with immortal energy.

This approach was necessary because while the Cultivation Alliance possessed many immortal techniques, none suited his Beast Taming Path.

"I wonder if the avatar will succeed..." Lin Jing worried while comprehending the technique.

Assuming a fake identity was the easiest part of infiltrating the Heavenly Demon Sect. The true challenge was deceiving Sheng Kun's Heavenly Demon Mind Detection Technique - an ultimate ability that could sense others' thoughts, discern their intentions, and detect lies. This technique had made it nearly impossible for the Cultivation Alliance to plant spies in the sect.

With Sheng Kun's perfect demonic bloodline, his mastery of this technique undoubtedly surpassed Lin Jing's mental defenses. Deceiving him wouldn't be easy - this wasn't something Lin Jing could accomplish alone.

Fortunately, he only needed to fool Sheng Kun at the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, not the entire sect full of Seeking the Way realm experts. The Seeking the Way powerhouses of the Tianyuan Realm had made thorough preparations to assist Lin Jing's infiltration.

Origin Realm Cave

While recovering, the Heavenly Demon Avatar swallowed a pill - a quasi-immortal elixir called "Heart-Beguiling Pill" jointly refined by the Tongtian Tower Master, the Immortal Pill Spirit, and the Ancient Emperor's group, using Gu God's Blood as its core ingredient.

Its function? To deceive even oneself.

To truly fool an enemy, one must first fool oneself. Upon taking the pill, the avatar completely forgot its true identity, severing all connection with the original body and creating entirely new memories. At this moment, it became completely detached from Lin Jing. Without external intervention, it would forever forget its original identity.

Three safeguards ensured the avatar could eventually regain its memories: the Ice Soul Gu, the Spell Elemental Mushroom, and Lin Jing's true form.

"Damn it!" The avatar smashed its fist against the cave wall in frustrated rage. "Still too weak!"

"I could suppress that Snow God before it used its Primordial Ice Essence, but once it activated that power... Not only did I fail to obtain immortal energy, but I got severely injured when its reinforcements arrived. Can I really not acquire immortal energy alone to help Master...?"

Soon, the avatar completely forgot its identity as Lin Jing's clone, genuinely believing itself to be the true successor of Demon Emperor Tianchou, here in the Origin Realm to gather enough immortal energy to heal its master's injuries.

Inside its body, the Ice Soul Gu nibbled on fragments of immortal ice from the Snow God while the illusion mushroom pondered how to execute their demon sect script. In the avatar's new memories, both the Ice Soul Gu and the elemental mushroom were precious treasures bestowed by its master, more valuable than its own life.

Several days later, Sheng Kun located the avatar first by tracking its demonic bloodline. Space tore open as the Heavenly Demon Sacred Son descended from above.

The moment he arrived, the recovering avatar's eyes snapped open. Eight spectral arms manifested behind it as it unleashed the Eight-Armed Heavenly Demon Sword Path! Razor-sharp sword intent shattered the cave roof, shooting toward the sky.

Facing this probe, Sheng Kun remained expressionless, casually dispersing the attack with a wave. "No need for hostility. I am Sheng Kun, Sacred Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect - like you, a bearer of demonic bloodline."

"Heavenly Demon Sacred Son..." The avatar rose from the cave, narrowing its eyes. "What do you want?"

"Are you Demon Emperor Tianchou's successor?" Sheng Kun asked. "How should I address you?"

"What if I am?"

"Master named me Mo Yu. But as the Demon Emperor's successor, according to sect rules, I shouldn't need to obey you, a mere Sacred Son, should I?"

"Indeed. I'm not here to give orders," Sheng Kun replied. "I merely wish to confirm - is Demon Emperor Tianchou still alive? She was an important powerhouse of the demon realm... Please answer truthfully."

"Alive!" Mo Yu declared. "After accidentally entering a spatial rift, Master fell into a remote cultivation world - my homeland. Though severely injured, she's currently recovering. I came to the Origin Realm at her command to gather immortal energy for her healing."

"So I have no time for other sect matters."

Sheng Kun nodded while continuously monitoring Mo Yu's mental fluctuations, confirming the truth of these statements. Demon Emperor Tianchou must be gravely injured, stranded in a resource-poor world where she couldn't heal, forced to train an outsider disciple to seek medicine here.

"Is that why you attacked the Snow God's territory? To steal immortal energy?" Sheng Kun asked. "Those beings aren't easy opponents. At your current strength, you can't take immortal energy from them."

"Come with me. I can help you grow stronger and provide immortal energy. Leave Tianchou's healing to me."

"No need," Mo Yu coldly refused. "This is Master's test for me. I require no assistance."

"Fool!" Sheng Kun scolded. "Precisely because Tianchou preferred acting alone did she end up in this state! The Origin Realm isn't as simple as you think. Alone, how long until you gather enough resources? By then, her condition might worsen beyond recovery! Is this how you repay her for sharing her precious bloodline with an outsider like you?"

Sheng Kun realized the situation must be dire if Tianchou had parted with her bloodline essence to empower an outsider. To prevent her death abroad and potentially gain a powerful ally, he resolved to intervene.

Moreover, he saw great potential in Mo Yu. Compared to the other uncooperative demon-blooded individual, he preferred dealing with Tianchou's successor.

"Besides, I'll soon leave the Origin Realm. Before departing, you could tell me about your cultivation world. I might reach Tianchou before you to offer aid."

"So... have you reconsidered?" Sheng Kun's piercing gaze locked onto Mo Yu.
