Vol. 4 Chapter 67: Divine Scripture Target

“Mm... Lin Jing has now already formed a contract with the Mechanical Turtle. The Artifact Ghost and the Mechanical Turtle have fused well, and its intelligence is steadily growing, but this has also brought a problem. That is, after gaining awareness, the Longevity Turtle really doesn’t like staying in one place for too long and often asks Lin Jing to let it go out treasure hunting. But now that they're at the Spirit Dao Sect, Lin Jing definitely needs to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, all those life-extending treasures and magical artifacts in the Spirit Dao Sect would end up in its claws. Moreover, after taking the Artifact Ghost—this War Weapon—as its artifact spirit, the Longevity Turtle’s personality has become extremely aggressive, like a war maniac.”

“Got it.” Lin Jing replied perfunctorily.

“Next, I’ll take you on a mission. After completing this task, I’ll let you go travel.”

He scratched his ear. Among the four pet beasts, the Longevity Turtle was the one that needed the least cultivation.

Just by relying on its ability to wield artifacts beyond its level, it ranked first in combat power among the four pet beasts.

Although its Cultivation Realm is currently sealed at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, with the capabilities of the Artifact Ghost, it can still easily control top-grade magical artifacts—and top-grade artifacts are normally only manageable for Peak Void Mystical Stage cultivators.

Therefore, as long as there are enough artifacts, even at the Nascent Soul Stage, it wouldn't be at a serious disadvantage against a regular Nascent Soul Transformation Stage cultivator.

“Keep your word...”

Lin Jing retracted the Mechanical Turtle and walked out of the Enlightenment Pool.

“You’re leaving??”

Sensing the movement, the Insight Fish also woke from its slumber.

“Just stepping out to take care of some things. I still have ten years of usage rights over you, so I’ll definitely use them up. I’ll be back soon.” Lin Jing smiled and said goodbye.

But Lin Jing himself estimated that he wouldn’t even need the full ten years.

Because the effect of the Enlightenment Pool gradually diminishes, after another year or two, he’d likely have to rely on drinking the Insight Fish’s algae-washing water just to barely maintain the benefits.

Therefore, Lin Jing planned that once the pool’s effect was no longer obvious for him, he’d allocate the remaining time for each pet beast to use...

Let them take turns, so nothing goes to waste.

“Then I’ll go back to sleep.” The Insight Fish rolled its eyes and tiredly dozed off again, utterly dispirited.

..........

At the same time, Lin Jing’s figure flickered and disappeared, Pine Leaf Mouse took Lin Jing and, with one spatial teleport, they left the Spirit Dao Sect.

Now that the Mechanical Turtle had partially mastered the Divine Scripture, he naturally had to fulfill his promise—to help the Ghost Bride revive the Feng Family’s ancestor and do some archaeology.

However, even though the Mechanical Turtle’s technique was partially mastered, it hadn’t truly been used yet. To avoid any issues at a critical moment, Lin Jing decided to delay his trip to Martial Emperor City and test it out first.

“The activation condition for the Divine Scripture—to revive a powerful figure’s projection—requires that even after their death, there are still people continuously worshipping and offering to them.”

“And, there must be a personal belonging of theirs to serve as the offering.”

“In addition, a Dragon Vein must be used for the formation pattern... it consumes a huge amount of Dragon Vein power. The conditions are extremely harsh.”

“F***, hasn’t the top-grade Dragon Vein promised by the Ancient Kingdom been extracted yet? If that promise still isn’t fulfilled when I return to the Ancient Kingdom, I’ll tear up the deal.” Lin Jing grumbled.

After muttering, he began searching his storage bag for a suitable relic.

The Beast Taming Sect does have relics left behind by the first through fourth Sect Leaders, and the sect has continued to offer to them, but they’re too weak—summoning their projections wouldn’t be cost-effective.

He had also looted a relic left behind by the Gu God Sect’s first Sect Leader Duan Zhong, but the Gu God is a b*****d—it didn’t let the sect continue honoring their founder. They all turned to worship it instead, so that doesn’t meet the summoning conditions...

“Don’t know if the First Ancient Emperor died out in the stars. If he did, I wonder if I could summon the Second Ancient Emperor’s father.” Lin Jing looked toward the skies.

Although he didn’t have any relics of the First Ancient Emperor, relics of such a major figure might actually be easier to obtain.

After all, as the strongest person of the previous era and the founder of a nation, who knows how many good things he left behind or bestowed.

Like the Hidden Dragon Academy where Lin Jing had once stayed—it had a personal magical artifact gifted by the First Ancient Emperor stored within....

And during the founding of the nation, many families and sects received similar gifts.

So, if Lin Jing wanted to get a relic of the First Ancient Emperor, he might not even need to deal directly with the Ancient Clan.

Of course, all this hinges on whether the First Ancient Emperor actually died in the starry skies—if he’s still alive, then naturally the Divine Scripture cannot summon his projection.

.............

With the idea forming, Lin Jing locked in his target.

He recalled some things, then continued fleeing toward the borders of the Ancient Kingdom.

He knew exactly where to go to get the Ancient Emperor’s relic.

At this point, the advice of the Beast Taming Sect elder to read more books really paid off.

“Cultivation Family, the Lü Family!”

Lin Jing’s eyes lit up.

The Lü Family Ancestor was a great general who followed the First Ancient Emperor in his conquests during the founding of the Ancient Kingdom—a powerful cultivator.

In theory, the Lü Family today should be like the Zhao Family—a prominent cultivation family in the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

However, after the Second Ancient Emperor ascended, due to a particular incident, the Lü Family was exiled to the borderlands, far removed from politics ever since.

Now, under pressure from political rivals, the family doesn’t even have a single Void Mystical Stage cultivator left—only one Nascent Soul Transformation Stage elder remains, barely hanging on.

“When the Second Ancient Emperor took the throne, he immediately made many changes to the Ancient Kingdom’s existing policies!”

“Though a new emperor, the Second Ancient Emperor was still a Dao-Seeking expert—no matter how radical his reforms, the old officials didn’t dare object.”

“But there was one exception—a court cultivator from the Lü Family.”

“Unofficial histories say that within a month of his coronation, the Second Ancient Emperor issued seventeen reforms, and every single one of them was publicly criticized by that Lü cultivator—so much so that the emperor nearly blew a lung.”

“Shortly after, the Lü Family was accused of some fault and exiled to the border.”

“But everyone knows, it was all because of that stubborn Lü official...”

“To offend the Second Ancient Emperor like that and still only be exiled from Tianyuan’s capital to the borders... it’s all thanks to the ‘death immunity magical artifact’ granted by the former emperor.”

“After founding the nation, the First Ancient Emperor granted twenty-four founding powers an immunity artifact—these were all personal magical artifacts he used himself during the nation’s founding battles. As long as the Lü Family doesn’t rebel, even the Second Ancient Emperor can’t touch them.”

“Today, among all the holders of the ‘death immunity magical artifact,’ the Lü Family is probably the most fallen. Let’s go see if we can ‘borrow’ that immunity artifact from them.” Lin Jing sped up, eager to try reviving the First Ancient Emperor.

If this works, it’ll cause more shock than activating any Celestial Artifact.
