Chapter 201: Demon Ancestor Relic

Outside Linlang City, Evergreen Forest.

“Damn that Lin Tian.”

Flower Sect Disciple Yan Ran was there, kicking rocks and punching trees in a fit of rage, looking like a disgruntled young wife.

Her pretty face was twisted and ferocious with anger at this moment.

With her crimson dress fluttering, she landed on a mountain peak and muttered to herself, “I cannot just walk away.”

The Flower Sect secret technique to absorb half of one’s cultivation requires time to set up. She was about to siphon off the cultivation and achieve her goal, but who would have thought that the young master of the Lin family would suddenly cut off the root, causing her secret technique to fail.

Facing a Cultivator who practices the “Immortal Slaying Art,” she had no confidence to continue completing the secret technique…

The energy invested during this period was secondary, but this matter would definitely become a stain on her reputation, making her Sect sisters mock her.

She plucked a handful of leaves, and after her expression returned to calm, she said, “I will just disguise myself as a victim.”

“In the eyes of the Lin family, this must be Lin Tian’s fault. As his legally wedded wife, I am completely the victim. I can use this as a reason to demand a large sum of compensation from the Lin family before leaving, otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.”

“That’s right, compensation.”

Rustle, rustle.

Just as Flower Sect Disciple Yan Ran was thinking about how to further scheme for the Lin family’s property, the surrounding forest suddenly made a rustling sound, accompanied by the panting of a ferocious beast, causing Yan Ran to frown.

“Yao Beast? Isn’t it said there are no Yao Beasts in this Evergreen Forest—”

She released her Divine Sense to investigate the surroundings. Following the traces of her Divine Sense, the situation around her was clear at a glance.

Then, she let out a panicked scream.

“A Demon Core stage Great Yao! How could there be a Demon Core stage Yao Beast in a place like this!”

Yan Ran’s pupils shrank instantly, her mind screaming warnings. Within the reach of her Divine Sense was a massive tiger covered in black fur. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled light on it. Under the gaze of her Divine Sense, the Tiger Yao suddenly raised its head. Those eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the heavy fog of the jungle, locking onto every move of its prey.

Run!

The Flower Sect Disciple now had only this one thought, her heart pounding wildly. But before she could withdraw her Divine Sense, the black tiger roared thunderously.

“Roar!”

Its heart-shaking roar echoed throughout the entire forest. Accompanied by this roar, Yan Ran’s consciousness gradually faded, and her whole body went limp.

“It’s over.”

She never expected that she would encounter a Demon Core stage Great Yao, and even worse, in the face of its roar, she didn’t even have the qualification to run away.

When this Tiger Yao came before her, Yan Ran used her remaining strength to scream, “What kind of Yao Beast are you? I am a Flower Sect Disciple. If you eat me, the Flower Sect will definitely not spare you.”

“The Flower Sect has numerous Nascent Soul Elders, and even a Soul Transformation Sect Master sitting in command, you—”

“You what you.”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the Tiger Yao.

Lin Jing walked out from behind the Tiger Yao, patted the tiger’s body, and the giant tiger’s figure instantly dissipated.

“First time using an Illusion Beast to fight, didn’t expect it to be so easy.” Lin Jing looked at the female Cultivator whose expression had frozen, and rubbed his chin.

“You—” The Flower Sect Disciple looked at Lin Jing blankly, then said, “Thousand Illusion Mountain?”

Lin Jing condensed his spiritual power into threads, instantly binding the Flower Sect Disciple who had been mentally devastated by the Illusion Beast. During this process, Lin Jing accidentally discovered that the opponent was not just at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage; the intelligence from Thousand Illusion Mountain had some lag, and the opponent had already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

However, because she was still too weak, Lin Jing destroyed her mental defenses without feeling much of anything.

Upon discovering that the one attacking her was not a Yao Beast but a human, Flower Sect Disciple Yan Ran actually breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still had no ability to resist, she instantly revealed a very pitiful expression.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?”

“Is there some misunderstanding between us—”

While in a bound state, the Flower Sect Disciple still puffed out her chest, her curvaceous figure accentuated by the binding threads. She collapsed smoothly like a beautiful snake, looked up, and stared at Lin Jing with teary eyes.

Bang.

Lin Jing punched her unconscious.

“Is this what you use to test Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciples?” Lin Jing was focused on progress and was not swayed by the seductive woman.

A few days later, Lin Jing brought the Flower Sect Cultivator who had plotted against the Thousand Illusion Mountain Disciple back to the Sect.

Steward Zheng came upon hearing the news and was instantly overjoyed.

“Good, it was completed more perfectly and quickly than I imagined. To be able to capture her even after she had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, I really didn’t misjudge you!”

This excellent “tribute” of the Flower Sect Disciple immediately earned Lin Jing high regard from Steward Zheng.

After Steward Zheng ordered people to drag the Flower Sect demoness into the Thousand Illusion Mountain dungeon, he said to Lin Jing with satisfaction, “I remember that the White Underworld Monkey King you conjured was excellent?”

“It must be because you have a special affection for monkeys, right? Otherwise, why would you have such an affinity for monkey-shaped Yao Beasts among the many Yao Beasts?”

“Steward, you are right. This Disciple has watched monkeys since childhood, sometimes even ignoring beautiful women.” Lin Jing said with shame, remembering the Journey to the West he watched when he was young.

“Good, that can also be considered your Opportunity.”

“Ordinary Huan Sha Hall Disciples, after entering the Hall, mostly execute basic tasks such as competing for or guarding mineral veins. These tasks have extremely high risks. Although the Sect does not treat such Disciples poorly, the training for the Disciples during the process is limited.”

“And I have decided to give you a task with a decent Opportunity next.”

“Three months later, the Demon Ancestor Relic will open. At that time, Disciples from the three major Sects—Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Flower Sect, and Thousand Illusion Mountain—will enter together. This relic was left by a Profound Void Demon Ancestor. There are Opportunities, but also dangers. Collisions with Disciples from other Sects will be inevitable. With your talent, it would be a pity to continue executing ordinary tasks. If you can perform well in this Demon Ancestor Relic, then obtaining the merit to be promoted to a True Disciple should be no problem!”

“Demon Ancestor Relic??” Lin Jing was stunned.

“That’s right, the Demon Ancestor Relic. A Yao Beast that can be called a Demon Ancestor can create a powerful race of the same origin as itself with just a drop of blood—the owner of the Demon Ancestor Relic is an ancient relic species with ‘Zhu Yan’ Bloodline. It had no tribe of its own. After nearing the end of its life, it forged this relic. Any life form that performs well within the relic has a chance to obtain its Legacy and become one of its clansmen.”

“This Demon Ancestor wanted to pass on its Bloodline, Cultivation Technique, and martial arts in this way after its death.”

“It even doesn’t limit the species.”

“Because no matter what species, as a Demon Ancestor, it can turn them into its own clan.”

“However, because the energy required to transform high-cultivation life forms is too much, this Demon Ancestor Relic can only be entered by those below the Golden Core Stage.”

“It is precisely for this reason that Senluo Hall did not compete with our three Sects.” Steward Zheng laughed.

Senluo Hall. It has no low-cultivation Disciples. It is a special force led by a Void Profound, with the remaining members all being Soul Transformation or Nascent Soul Cultivators.
