Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 688 - 49: Nameless Taoist

"Master, it's open, it's open. Should we go in?"

Wu Lingxi watched the changes before her with great nervousness and sought Lin Jing's opinion.

"It really worked... Alright, let's go." Lin Jing nodded.

Before entering, he had the Mechanical Turtle and Ice Soul Gu stay outside to keep watch; only he and Wu Lingxi entered this mysterious Grotto Heaven.

"This place is..."

Passing through the spatial vortex, they arrived at a gray chaotic space, as if nothing existed yet everything seemed chaotic.

After entering, the two of them observed their surroundings and eventually found a stone tablet.

"Master, look," Wu Lingxi said, "That's the stone tablet; it should be the source that attracted me."

"Let's go take a look," Lin Jing and Wu Lingxi flew over and landed in front of the stone tablet. On the tablet were many chaotic characters, and when Lin Jing stared at them, he felt his eyes sting, completely unable to understand their meaning.

However, Wu Lingxi beside him suddenly gasped, seemingly able to comprehend the meaning, and her pupils shrank repeatedly.

Lin Jing didn't disturb her, allowing her to slowly digest the information. After some unknown time, Wu Lingxi slowly turned to Lin Jing.

"This stone tablet was left by my ancestor from the Wu family..."

"It seems so. Can you share what's recorded on it?" Lin Jing asked.

Wu Lingxi nodded and said, "The tablet records that my ancestor, the Nameless Taoist, was an Immortal Emperor from the last era..."

"An Immortal Emperor." Lin Jing was not surprised; without the Immortal Emperor Realm, it would be impossible to open a space like this. In fact, relying solely on the Immortal Emperor Realm might not be enough.

"It also records what this space is about..."

"After the mysterious death of the Taoist Master, the ruler of the last era, those Immortal Emperors living felt threatened by death as if cursed."

"None of the Immortal Emperors wanted to die inexplicably and were all searching for a sliver of hope for survival, plunging the Immortal Realm into great chaos. Many ancient powers perished during this period."

"The Nameless Ancestor first arranged for his family to be in relatively safe places, hoping they would survive the crisis. Afterward, he began searching for a way out."

"Ultimately... he found... a damaged Celestial Dao Treasure!"

"What?!" Lin Jing was shocked upon hearing this.

The Celestial Dao Treasure is considered a treasure transcending any Magical Treasure, typically only refined by those in the Taoist Master Realm.

The luck of Wu family ancestor, the Nameless Taoist, was indeed nearing that of the Demon Lord.

"Though damaged, the Celestial Dao Treasure's power was infinite. He used the power of the Heavenly Dao to establish the 'Place of Seclusion' here. While it couldn't completely free him from the Taoist Master's curse, it could slow the depletion of his lifespan and mitigate the curse's effects, leading him to retreat here for a long time."

"The only method he could envision to escape the curse was to become a Taoist Master himself, so he painstakingly studied the damaged Celestial Dao Treasure, but unfortunately, he never broke through to the Taoist Master Realm before his lifespan ran out... and the Celestial Dao Treasure was completely ruined."

"Before dying, the Nameless Ancestor regrettably converted his life's cultivation into a legacy and left it in this Place of Seclusion. However, only those of Wu family bloodline could find this place and complete the legacy, which was the last thing he left for the Wu family."

"Additionally, the ancestor's message claims that this secret path connects to four Immortal Realms, allowing the Wu family to use it to seek refuge during certain times in the future."

"What a pity for the Nameless Taoist ancestor," Lin Jing said, "Had he managed to break through to the Taoist Master realm, the Immortal Realm today could be very different."

"Since this legacy is meant for you, accept it well. If it conflicts with the cultivation technique I taught you, abandon what I've taught and inherit your ancestor's legacy." Lin Jing said to Wu Lingxi, believing that the legacy left by her ancestor was more suitable for her.

"But..." Wu Lingxi hesitated, reluctant to give up her current cultivation technique.

"No buts, I'll stand guard for you." Hearing this, Wu Lingxi could only nod and began to accept the legacy according to the information recorded on the stone tablet.

Lin Jing stood by, slightly lamenting that the damaged Celestial Dao Treasure was completely ruined, for if he could borrow it, it would play a decisive role in the confrontation with the Demon Clan...

"Something's wrong!!"

However, as time passed while guarding Wu Lingxi, Lin Jing's expression suddenly changed. He felt something was amiss as Wu Lingxi's aura became like a different person.

Soon, his scalp tingled as Wu Lingxi abruptly opened her eyes and said, "Hehe... I finally made it through. What does a Taoist Master matter; I've broken the death law."

"I'd rather start over again."

"Huh? How could there be another person here?" Wu Lingxi looked at Lin Jing, who was prepared for battle, and said, "I was wondering how a descendant in the True Immortal Realm could possess the fortune of an Immortal King and find this place; it turns out someone else was planning behind the scenes."

"Nameless Taoist?!" Lin Jing was shocked; it was another possession case.

Damn, first the Creation Immortal King, and now this Wu family ancestor... The Creation Immortal King was one thing, but this Nameless Taoist was an Immortal Emperor from the last era, having somehow escaped the Taoist Master's death curse.

"What did you do to her?" Lin Jing's tone was icy.

"Rather than worry about her, you'd better worry about yourself. You trained her to covet my belongings... Plus, no one must know I'm still alive, so you'll have to go." The Nameless Taoist's eyes revealed a murderous intent, and although Lin Jing was in the Immortal King Realm, his current body was only at the peak of True Immortal, yet Lin Jing sensed immense danger in the next instant.

Only to see the opponent directly summon a golden small bell, enveloped in terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao, causing Lin Jing to turn and flee without hesitation.

Celestial Dao Treasure.

The damaged Celestial Dao Treasure mentioned by Wu Lingxi.

The thing wasn't completely ruined.

This artifact... couldn't be countered with ordinary power.

"Close!" However, seeing Lin Jing trying to exit through the previous passage, the Nameless Taoist's thought triggered the bell to ring, closing the door to the Place of Seclusion instantly.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Lin Jing realized that relying solely on his strength, he couldn't leave the Place of Seclusion. This area was established by the opponent with the power of the Heavenly Dao and couldn't be breached with ordinary force.

However, the only relief for his third body was that before the Place of Seclusion was sealed, he had informed the Mechanical Turtle waiting outside about what had happened here.

"Want to kill me?" Seeing no way to escape, the third body stared at the Nameless Taoist. "Well, if I can't leave, then I can't leave. After all, even if I do, I'll come back."
