"Alright, that was just a joke. Let's get to the serious matter now."

"Exchanging two thousand years for one day, and wasting that day running away, don't you think it's a pity?"

"What do you mean?" The Longevity Maiden was puzzled.

"Before long, you will only have ten years left to live."

"With the cultivation technique you practice, and the speed of cultivating the Longevity Body, in ten years, you would probably find it difficult to reach even the Mid-Stage Golden Core."

"Which means, even if you manage to escape successfully, you won't have long to live."

"Unless, you could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, thereby gaining an extensive lifespan again."

"But as I mentioned earlier, with normal cultivation, it would be difficult for you to break through to Nascent Soul."

The Longevity Maiden shook her head.

"It doesn't matter." She wasn't regretful despite consuming two thousand years of her life essence.

Without taking such measures, it would be difficult to escape the secret realm of the Celestial Lion Race.

To have killed a significant number of the Celestial Lion Race was already satisfying for her.

Even if she only had a few days left to live afterward, she could accept it.

After all, before this, she had already considered giving up on her life completely.

"But you're right, since there's no need to save you anymore, I'll fight to the death with the Celestial Lion Ancestor next."

"Even if, as you say, I can't defeat it, I should at least be able to severely wound it." The Longevity Maiden suddenly stopped speaking.

Right now, she had the realm and mana but no offensive magic and combat divine techniques.

But even with just basic mana, with her current Void Profound Peak strength, every move carried immense power.

"Could it be that you could cultivate the Celestial Demon Body, but I couldn't, is it a difference in 'state of mind'?" Lin Jing remained silent in contemplation.

From the very beginning, it seemed like the Longevity Maiden completely disregarded life and death.

"Maybe." The Longevity Maiden didn't know why she could cultivate the Celestial Demon Body so quickly either.

"Don't waste your life in such a place." Lin Jing continued to speak.

"Do you want to live longer? If you do, then listen to my command next." Lin Jing said, "I have a method. I will consume all my strength to cast an Illusion Technique on you, which can temporarily hide your aura and help you evade the Celestial Lion Ancestor."

"You return to the Celestial Lion Secret Realm. Without the Celestial Lion Ancestor overseeing it, the secret realm should be easy for you to traverse with your current power. Within the shortest time, loot all the treasures the Celestial Lion Race has accumulated."

"As a top-tier race among the demon beast tribes, the Celestial Lion Race's accumulation must be extremely rich. These resources might help you step into the Nascent Soul within ten years."

"This way, not only can you survive, but you can also return with greater strength in the future to completely destroy the Celestial Lion Race, including the Celestial Lion Ancestor!"

After Lin Jing's words fell, the Longevity Maiden was stunned and filled with confusion: "Why go to such lengths to help me, is it because we both possess the Longevity Body?"

"You can keep the treasure from the Celestial Lion Race necessary to form a Nascent Soul, but the rest goes to me," Lin Jing said.

"Alright." The Longevity Maiden was surprised by this answer.

Lin Jing smiled slightly.

"After all, as someone with the Longevity Body, my cultivation speed is also slow."

"Thank you."

"It's nothing." Lin Jing appeared a bit dazed.

From Golden Core to Void Profound Peak, immensely powerful.

Although it was only for a day, Lin Jing was certain, after a day, the whole Qingzhou would be shaken.

The performance of the Longevity Maiden, in some way, also helped Lin Jing.

By then, the entire continent would know that the Longevity Body could greatly enhance power through certain secret techniques.

This way, anyone attempting to target holders of the Longevity Body would have to consider whether they could bear the consequences—precisely the deterrence Lin Jing envisioned for the Longevity Body.

"Time is pressing, let's begin. Once everything is over, remember to pass on all your insights on cultivating the Celestial Demon Body to me. Are you a monster? Being able to cultivate such a physique at a whim." Lin Jing shook his head.

"Compared to me, you seem more like a monster." The Longevity Maiden spoke softly; accomplishing such feats as just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"After looting the Celestial Lion Secret Realm, conceal yourself with illusions. Soon, I will search for you in person or send someone." Lin Jing immediately helped her with the illusion and tossed her a positioning pinecone.

At this time, both he and the Pine Leaf Mouse's avatar expended all their strength and dissipated into the air.

......

Meanwhile.

In the Qilin Race.

Lin Jing's true form opened his eyes, walked out of the cave, intending to report the situation to Senior Sister.

If the Longevity Maiden successfully plundered the vast resources of the Celestial Lion Race, she might have to rely on the Demon Court to digest it.

"You're looking for the Big Sister?" Shortly after, Lin Jing arrived at Senior Sister's temporary cave, only to find she wasn't there, only a Pet Beast cultivating.

"The First Saintess and Second Saintess have already arrived at the Qilin Secret Realm. The elders of the five major tribes of the Qilin Race are discussing the holding of the Holy Maiden Tea Party with them," the Fire Phoenix inside the cave spoke.

"I see, thank you, Sister Phoenix." Lin Jing nodded, saying, "Then I'll wait here, it shouldn't take long."

Elsewhere, in the Qilin Garden.

The Great Elder of the five major tribes of the Qilin Race, along with the three Demon Court Saintesses, gathered here.

The First Saintess, Liu Yan, smiled at Xu Qingyao: "You actually brought your followers to the Qilin Race so early. I heard from Elder Lin Ye that they are arduously cultivating in closed-door training for the upcoming battles?"

"So what if they are?" Xu Qingyao looked at her indifferently; among the other two Saintesses, this was the one she disliked the most.

"With those guys' talents, they won't achieve much... Xu Qingyao, I heard that in the Ancient Beast Taming Sect you came from, there's a genius who contracted one of the ten mystical Gu worms, and is wanted by the Yin Corpse Sect. If it were that person, their talent might be worth nurturing, better than the Demon Emperor's sons following you. Haven't you found this person to recruit under you?" The Second Saintess, Shen Xi, spoke.

Xu Qingyao glanced at her and said, "Unfortunately, after being transported away by the demon sect, the Saint Heir of the Ancient Beast Taming Sect has become elusive. I haven't found him yet; he probably died at the hands of the demon sect."

Elder Lin Ye of the Qilin Race chuckled, interrupting the conversation between the three: "Your Highness the Saintess, if there are no issues, how about hosting the tea party in seven days as discussed?"

"No issues." The three Saintesses replied.

Just then, an Earth Spirit Pearl suddenly floated up from the ground in front of the Great Elder of the Earth Qilin Tribe.

Within the Earth Spirit Pearl, numerous pieces of information were transmitted into the Earth Qilin Elder's mind, causing its expression to change slightly.

"Your Highness the Saintess, was the Beast Taming Sect cultivator you discussed named Lin Jing???"

Xu Qingyao looked at the Great Elder of the Earth Qilin Tribe, "He is called Lin Jing."

"A moment ago, a land spirit trained by the Earth Qilin Tribe sent intelligence that Lin Jing appeared at the Celestial Lion Race's centennial celebration, revealing himself to be a Longevity Body, using his longevity blood and flesh to launch a bounty on two major demon sects, Yin Corpse and Gu God!"

The crowd was taken aback, a Longevity Body?

Xu Qingyao was indifferent, thinking to herself, "Oh, so today is the Celestial Lion Race's centennial celebration..."

"That's not the key; the key is that after Lin Jing's appearance, the Longevity Body that the Celestial Lion Race was keeping abruptly rose to Void Profound Peak and wiped out a majority of the Celestial Lion Race on the spot, then left with Lin Jing without a trace!!!"

Xu Qingyao: ?

"What?" Xu Qingyao's expression changed dramatically, what's going on?
