Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 93Book 3: : Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor

Vol 3. Chapter 93: Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor

"This is..."

Lin Jing took out the Heavenly Demon Scroll, and the scroll floated in midair.

The red-haired woman looked stunned.

She wasn’t alone—most cultivators who laid eyes on the Heavenly Demon Scroll didn’t recognize what it was.

But while they might not know what the scroll was, they did recognize the images on it!

"That’s the Nine-Infant Demon Lord from the Yin Corpse Sect... Why is his portrait on there?"

"And the Ancestor of the Sky Lions..." someone pointed out a lion-shaped Soul Image.

"The image of Skyfire Ancestor is here too! What the h*ll is this scroll?"

More and more people stood dumbfounded.

The scroll didn’t just show famous powerhouses—it was filled with images of powerful demonic beasts too.

Dozens of Moon Wolf Clan members, scores of Sky-Swallowing Serpents, and over a hundred Flesh-Eating Ants... all crammed onto the scroll.

"Could it be..."

"Could this be the lost supreme treasure of the fallen Demonic Sky Sect—the Heavenly Demon Scroll!?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the distance.

Among the three Pill Sovereigns descending from the Tongtian Tower, the Sun and Moon Pill Sovereign spoke up in shock.

"The Heavenly Demon Scroll can record the portraits of anyone within range who harbors strong hostility toward its holder..."

"After the Demonic Sky Sect was wiped out, the scroll vanished. I never expected it to show up here."

"Sun and Moon Boat Sect!"

As the Sun and Moon Pill Sovereign finished speaking, a stir rippled through the crowd at the Alchemy Conference.

Everyone looked at the scroll again, hearts pounding.

So many people and beasts in Tongtian City were secretly plotting against the Longevity Body... just on this scroll alone, there were several Void Mystical Demon Ancestors!

"Good eye, Pill Sovereign. This is indeed the Heavenly Demon Scroll." Lin Jing smiled upon seeing someone who recognized it.

Now that Lin Jing had confirmed it, the killing intent in the eyes of the cultivators and beasts revealed on the scroll only intensified.

They were all lurking in or around Tongtian City, watching the Alchemy Conference. Lin Jing exposing their intentions like this was practically a public slap in the face.

"That little brat—!" In one corner, the Vice Dean of the Academy tugged at his goatee, momentarily blacking out. He had no idea where Lin Jing got this thing from, but pulling it out now? Was Lin Jing trying to increase his enemies?

Right now, sure, many had ill intentions toward Lin Jing. But as long as they hadn’t acted, there was still a chance they’d back off based on how the situation developed.

Now though, Lin Jing had publicly called them out. Even if they couldn’t get him, they’d at least make sure he couldn’t walk away clean. After all, who wanted a terrifying, long-lived potential enemy running around?

"That was a death wish."

"What’s this human relying on?"

Several Demon Ancestors muttered under their breath, itching to make a move right then and there.

But just at that moment, a voice rang out—

"I’d like to see who dares touch him."

Just as everyone was doubting Lin Jing’s ability to survive what came next, a sharp sword aura pierced the heavens.

The void split open, and a gray-haired old woman in a sword robe stepped out, sword in hand.

Buzz!

The moment she appeared, it felt like the entire sky had been pierced through. In the crowd, the Academy’s powerhouses all lit up with recognition.

"It’s her!"

The Vice Dean of the Academy looked elated. They’d waited so long for reinforcements from the Ancient Celestial Kingdom, and to think she was the one to arrive.

With her here, the goateed Vice Dean felt way more confident about keeping Lin Jing safe after the conference ended.

"Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, the elder of the Heavenly Sword Gate of the Ancient Celestial Kingdom—once hailed as the strongest sword cultivator under the heavens!"

Someone in the crowd recognized her.

A Void Mystical Stage Sword Cultivator.

Sword cultivators were already famous for their offense and unmatched combat power—let alone someone like Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, a living legend.

She was the monstrous genius of sword cultivation from thousands of years ago in the Ancient Kingdom.

No one had expected the Ancient Celestial Kingdom to dispatch this kind of terrifying elder to protect a single Longevity Body.

"So you're Lin Jing," the Sword Ancestor said as she looked at him. "From now on, I’ll ensure your safety."

"Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor..." Lin Jing slightly bowed his head.

He’d considered that, as a student of the Academy, maybe the Academy would protect him. And that maybe, as a member of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, some of their people might back him up.

But he never expected that the one to arrive would be the elder of the Heavenly Sword Gate.

If there was any connection between them at all, it would be that he happened to know her personal disciple.

From the Ancient Kingdom—Cold Moon Sword Immortal.

But... he didn’t even have a deep relationship with her.

Sure, she’d tried to recruit him to join the demon-slaying team, hoping to use his Longevity Body to kill more demons together—but he’d always turned her down. At best, they’d only met a few times.

How could such a shallow acquaintance convince her master to come all the way to Qingzhou, risking conflict with multiple Void Mystical-level enemies?

But the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, shrouded in sky-piercing sword energy, had her reasons.

After news of Lin Jing spread back to the Ancient Kingdom, many Void Mystical cultivators realized that the Longevity Body was in grave danger.

Even the Tongzi Xian of the Demon-Slaying Bureau, who held great hope for Lin Jing, hadn’t planned on traveling to Qingzhou to save him. After all, Lin Jing wasn’t just up against the Yin Corpse Sect and Gu God Sect—there were plenty of Void Mystical Demon Ancestors in Qingzhou alone.

But the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor had made a different choice.

"My disciple mentioned you once. Said you were the number one prodigy of the Ancient Kingdom thanks to your Longevity Body—your future limitless. Though she didn’t ask me to save you, probably afraid I’d say no given how old I am, I could tell she didn’t want you dying so soon."

"I’m over five thousand years old now, and I’ve failed three attempts at reaching the Dao. I’ve got less than a hundred years left. This trip, I came for two reasons. One—there’s a rumor you have a way to extend life. If it’s just gossip, then so be it. Two—I want to use the chaos of battle to make one last breakthrough. Fight for the Dao. And if I can help you survive in the process, maybe you’ll return the favor one day—lend a hand to Heavenly Sword Gate. For someone like you, with a Longevity Body, that shouldn’t be asking too much, right?"

She transmitted her voice directly to Lin Jing, laying her intentions bare—her lifespan was almost up.

So that’s how it was...

"Thank you, Senior." Lin Jing cupped his fists. Even if she had her own motives, the fact remained—she came to help him. That was enough for him to acknowledge the debt.

"Alright, Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, don’t disrupt the order of the Alchemy Conference. During the competition, no one is allowed to attack the participants," the Creation Pill Sovereign spoke up.

From the void, countless cold gazes locked onto the Sword Ancestor.

"Heh... what a troublesome old woman."

"No wonder this Longevity Body was so arrogant—daring to show his face and even whip out the Heavenly Demon Scroll. Turns out, he had the backing of the former top sword cultivator under the heavens."

"But that old hag is nearing the end of her rope. With her current strength, she’s nowhere near enough to keep the Longevity Body safe!"
