Vol 5 Chapter 27: Fated to Me

The contest for Origin Sources does not guarantee victory simply by having greater strength.

To seize an Origin Source, one must also have fate on their side.

From the moment an Origin Source appears until it fully forms, roughly one day passes.

During this day, no one can directly grab the Origin Source. Meanwhile, the radiant light of the Origin Source spreads throughout the entire Origin Realm, announcing its location.

At this time, cultivators nearer to the Origin Source can prepare in advance, such as setting up large formations nearby to defend.

As for those farther away, it’s uncertain if they can reach the Origin Source’s gestation place within one day. Even if they do arrive smoothly, they will have expended a great deal of spiritual power in rushing there.

When cultivators from afar arrive, their condition may have deteriorated significantly, and the dangers encountered en route bring numerous unpredictable factors.

Ultimately, the battle to seize the Origin Source is a chaotic fight involving many. Whoever reaches the Origin Source first, without a speed that leaves others far behind, will inevitably face attacks from numerous cultivators. Thus, under all these variables, almost no cultivator can claim the Origin Source every single time.

The Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices followed Lin Jing, sensing the birth of the Origin Source and inquiring.

It was an honest being who had lived for countless years but had never once seized an Origin Source.

“It’s too early. It’s not yet time for the Heaven-Earth Sect to show up,” Lin Jing said, glancing at it. “This time, I’ll go seize it myself.”

“It’s just an ordinary Origin Source; it’s not worth a big fuss. The thousand-year Origin Source in twenty years will be your stage.”

“Fine then.” The Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices shrugged its mountain peak shoulders, showing disinterest.

After speaking, Lin Jing summoned Dragon Carp.

He measured the distance himself; the Origin Source’s birth place was not close, so he had to hurry.

For such a long distance, Lin Jing had two fastest movement spells. One was Heavenly Demon Crossing, the fastest but with enormous consumption. His true body couldn’t use it casually, so it wasn’t very suitable.

The second was the Buddhist Light Technique. Although not as fast as Heavenly Demon Crossing, it consumed much less energy.

But considering he was a Beast Tamer, Lin Jing felt there was no need to travel personally... he seemed to have a faster mount!

“Neigh~~” After Dragon Carp was summoned, it shifted directly from its most controllable carp form into the fastest dragon pegasus form.

The pegasus form was pure white, with a blazing fiery mane running from the head along the spine to the tail. From its head sprouted a horn-like organ resembling a dragon horn. Its eyes burned fiercely like a dragon’s, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Now, Dragon Carp had cultivated the Divine Dragon Transformation to the fifth layer. After shifting to speed form, its attack and defense dropped sharply, but its speed multiplied by five times compared to normal.

Whoosh!!!

The pegasus’s flames streaked across the sky. The Mountain God of Lewd Sacrifices watched Lin Jing leave with a slight sigh.

“Really fast!!!”

“Fast, yes, but kind of a useless horse. After this run, this horse is half dead.”

As Dragon Carp’s true body set off, Lin Jing’s Heavenly Demon Avatar also stepped out of the cultivation cave. Two years had passed, yet his cultivation still hadn’t reached the peak of the Origin Realm, only a minor completion of the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage.

In his heart, after a year, he still hadn’t reached Nascent Soul peak.

Compared to his true body, the avatar’s cultivation speed was many levels faster.

Moreover, in the following year, he refined his body even stronger by utilizing the affinity of the Immortal Water Lotus with immortal energy.

“So far away...” The Origin Source birth place was also very distant from the Heavenly Demon Avatar, who sighed, feeling quite displeased. He hoped the next supreme Origin Source would be nurtured right above his head.

“No choice, even if far, it must be taken.” His eyes flickered as he formed hand seals with one hand, summoning the Heavenly Demon Arm from the void. He landed on the palm, riding the arm and flying off, not choosing the high-consumption Heavenly Demon Crossing. After all, he needed to conserve energy to fight for the Origin Source.

This Origin Source gestation place was outside the Tian Continent in the Origin Realm, on an island.

This place was the territory of the Sea Spirit Beast, home turf of the oceanic spirits. So from the moment the Origin Source appeared, countless sea spirits gathered to surround it!

“Hahaha, it seems this Origin Source belongs to our ocean,” a divine dragon composed entirely of water elements circled in the air, eyes burning fiercely.

“Don’t be so happy so soon. Cultivators from other factions haven’t arrived yet,” a mermaid-like being slowly rose from the sea, eyes scorching as it looked toward the mountain source.

“Enough nonsense. Those who have arrived, first follow me to arrange the Absolute Sea Heaven-Crossing Formation to fend off enemies!” shouted a monster made entirely of seaweed.

Before long, these ocean spirits, using their geographical advantage, cooperated to set up a heavenly formation. Eighteen soaring water tornadoes enveloped the immature Origin Source.

When land cultivators arrived and saw the Origin Source locked tightly within the water tornadoes, they frowned and looked at the sea spirits inside the Absolute Sea Heaven-Crossing Formation, sighing deeply.

“This Origin Source’s location is really bad.”

“It’s right in the Sea Spirit Beast’s territory.”

“With so many ocean spirits maintaining the formation to protect the Origin Source, it will be hard to break through quickly. After half a day, when the Origin Source matures, they’ll take it and dive into the sea. This Origin Source will then be completely unreachable by others.”

“Origin Sources are rare! Even so, we have to try.” Suddenly, a huge meteor pierced through the clouds and crashed into the Absolute Sea Heaven-Crossing Formation. On the meteor flew a rocky bird riddled with pits.

It was the Meteor Spirit Beast’s monster cultivator from the Star Dust Realm!

“Attack together—”

In an instant, cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Star Dust Realm’s monsters temporarily put aside faction disputes and simultaneously unleashed their divine powers to destroy the Absolute Sea Heaven-Crossing Formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under continuous assault, the Absolute Sea Heaven-Crossing Formation suffered only slight damage. Though seemingly outnumbered, the ocean spirits were not at a disadvantage in number. Furthermore, being on the sea provided abundant water spiritual energy, making the formation exceptionally solid.

“Heh heh heh, useless,” a group of sea spirits under the Sea Spirit Beast mocked the striving cultivators while maintaining the formation.

In such a short time, other factions couldn’t gather enough people to break the formation!

With the day almost over, they would soon control the Origin Source’s return to the sea and divide it among themselves.

Just then, another human cultivator arrived at the battlefield.

“Neigh~~~” A fiery pegasus stepped on white clouds. The elegant and handsome Lin Jing looked lightly down at the Origin Source inside the eighteen soaring water tornadoes from the sky, smiling.

“Seems it’s not yet mature... This thing is fated to me.”
