One of the Sixteen Paths in Qingzhou, the Beast God Path.

The Beast God Path is a relatively special region in Qingzhou.

Although it also gathers a large number of Human Race Cultivators, most Human Race Cultivators here are not pureblood!

They carry some demon beast bloodlines, and their special cultivation bodies are often related to demon beasts, such as Dragon Blood Bodies, Barbarian Bull Bodies, Beast King Bodies...

Because of this, the cultivation sects and families on the Beast God Path often walk between humans and beasts.

The Celestial Lion Tribe.

The Centennial Ancestral Ceremony.

As the ceremony approached, not only did various demon beast tribes come to worship, but many cultivators also came to offer tributes. Such things can only be frequently seen on the Beast God Path.

"Finally almost there."

After a long journey of three months, Lin Jing's clone and Pine Leaf Mouse finally reached the Beast God Path.

The wooden clone, condensed with immense vitality and even lifespan reduction, has this advantage. Despite the vast distances, Pine Leaf Mouse and the wooden clone still maintain a deep connection, making it far more practical than ordinary clone techniques.

Besides this connection, the two clones are also given illusionary souls by Lin Jing, ensuring they can follow Lin Jing's commands even when far apart, instead of merely executing fixed programs like puppets.

Apart from slightly lacking endurance, they aren't that different from his true form.

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

As Lin Jing's illusionary form and Pine Leaf Mouse walked along the forest path, the sound of a horse approaching suddenly came from behind. A carriage quickly passed by Lin Jing's side, but he paid no mind. Many cultivators came to present gifts for the Celestial Lion Tribe's ceremony, and he had seen many along the way. However, this carriage gradually slowed down, bringing a smile to Lin Jing's face.

"Is this friend also heading to the Celestial Lion Tribe?" Soon, a chubby Taoist lifted the curtain from the carriage and asked Lin Jing.

"Yes." Lin Jing responded simply. The chubby Taoist laughed heartily, "I sense you should be a pureblood human, so you must be going for 'Blood Seeking' like me, right?"

"Meeting is fate. Would you like to come up and ride with us?"

Lin Jing's illusionary form looked calmly at the other, the chubby Taoist at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the Qi Cultivation Stage horse, and an old man hidden with Mid-Stage Core Formation cultivation, pretending to be a Qi Cultivation Coachman.

"Thank you." Lin Jing nodded and boarded the carriage. Onboard, the chubby Taoist said, "Ah, competition on the Beast God Path is too fierce; pureblood humans can't survive here, so I'm no longer human."

"This little Taoist is from Cangyun Mountain Celestial Cloud Temple. Where are you from, fellow cultivator?"

"Just a loose cultivator." Lin Jing replied.

"A loose cultivator???" The chubby Taoist was surprised, "What luck you have, fellow cultivator! What treasure have you obtained to offer to the Celestial Lion Tribe?"

"Are you asking so you can decide whether to steal it?" Lin Jing chuckled, "The Enchanting Fragrance inside your carriage is ineffective on me. I've eaten poisonous mushrooms for years and treated Peach Blossom Spirit Pills as candies during the Qi Cultivation Stage."

What nonsense, the chubby Taoist's face changed, revealing a menacing smile as he struck at Lin Jing with his palm.

Bam!

Lin Jing also struck back, and as their fist and palm collided, the carriage exploded into countless fragments. The chubby Taoist was sent flying by one of Lin Jing's palm strikes, brutally vomiting blood, his body on the verge of collapse.

"Vajra Palm?"

The chubby Taoist muttered three words before losing consciousness.

"Old man, aren't you going to make a move?" Lin Jing looked at the coachman.

"When did you notice?" The coachman turned to look at Lin Jing.

"Your Illusion Technique is too poor." Lin Jing spoke slowly, "I've heard that at each Celestial Lion Tribe ceremony, many Beast God Dao cultivators present rare tributes, hoping the Celestial Lion Tribe will reward them with a drop of beast blood, transforming themselves into a Celestial Lion Body and becoming peripheral members of the tribe."

"However, the Celestial Lion Tribe has high standards for tributes, so anyone who comes to offer gifts must carry treasures."

"Naturally, this gives rise to many robbers, but unfortunately, you were unlucky, running into me."

"Today I'll send you to meet the Buddha."

"A mere Foundation Establishment ant..." The Core Formation elder suddenly erupted but soon died violently on the spot.

Lin Jing picked up the storage bag and began probing, letting out a sigh afterward.

"Qingzhou is indeed better, much better than Ancient Countries. After three months on the road, I've encountered eight robberies, and the gains are plentiful!"

"It's a pity, the clone will likely die at the Celestial Lion Tribe, so I'll bury these treasures for now, and see if there's a chance to retrieve them later."

Whenever encountering people with ill intentions, Lin Jing's choice was to counter-rob if he could win, and enhance the illusion to hide and escape using spatial arts if he couldn't.

He didn't stay hidden in an extreme manner the entire time, as that would consume too much energy, especially since it's just a clone without the endurance of the true form...

However, as the two illusionary forms finally reached outside the Celestial Lion Tribe's domain, they no longer conserved their strength...

Lin Jing didn't follow the process for offering tributes but instead reinforced the illusion to "legitimately" follow the other gift-givers into the Celestial Lion Tribe's secret realm without anyone noticing.

Since they'd reached their destination, expending more didn't matter anymore.

"I wonder if I can see the 'Celestial Lion Saintess' at this ceremony."

"Probably, but it's hard to enjoy the grace of the Celestial Lion Saintess unless supported by an imperial-level strong tribe..."

Lin Jing entered the Celestial Lion Secret Realm with a group of Beast Blood Cultivators, and during their exchange, the Celestial Lion Saintess was mentioned.

Lin Jing's expression remained calm, knowing the Celestial Lion Saintess referred to the Longevity Body kept by the Celestial Lion Tribe.

The outside world knows this Longevity Body as the blood food kept by the Celestial Lion Tribe.

However, the Celestial Lion Tribe gives this Longevity Body a reputable title, claiming it a blessing bestowed by heaven, thus naming it the Celestial Lion Saintess.

With this "heavenly blessing," the Celestial Lion Tribe can trade a large amount of Longevity Blood and Flesh with strong tribes every year.

"According to the Senior Sister, this Longevity Body kept by the Celestial Lion Tribe is already a thousand years old."

"In a thousand years, her realm still seems to be at the Early-Stage Golden Core."

"This realm control is well managed, as the blood and flesh of a Golden Core stage Longevity Body aren't sought after by Demon Emperor-level experts, and the inexperienced can't compete."

"So the Celestial Lion Tribe has kept the Longevity Body for a thousand years without any incidents..."

"Although I'm not powerful enough to rescue this poor soul with a similar body constitution, since I'm here, maybe I can see her once..."

Lin Jing gradually drifted away from the group of Beast Blood Cultivators, wandering alone in the Celestial Lion Tribe's secret realm, maintaining his illusion.
