The outside world.

The entire Celestial Lion Demons clan was chanting the sacrificial text in unison. Just as the time came to sacrifice the flesh of immortality, countless demon beasts and cultivators present were suddenly shocked to discover that a young man slowly floated up from the crowd!!

It was Lin Jing, who had just returned to the crowd from the sacrificial platform!

As he floated up from the crowd, he instantly drew everyone's attention, causing countless Celestial Lion Demons to glare angrily.

"How dare you!!!"

"Boy, you court death!!"

The crowd and demons around Lin Jing were instantly shocked, retreating fearfully from him.

At this critical moment of the Celestial Lion clan's festival, Lin Jing's actions were tantamount to causing trouble. In their eyes, Lin Jing was already as good as dead.

Even if the Celestial Lion clan didn't execute Lin Jing on the spot, they would capture him and make him suffer all kinds of torment.

"Take him down!!" The Celestial Lion Race Leader, presiding over the festival, was furious. However, the next moment, as Lin Jing slowly raised his palm, employing an old trick, a drop of enticing blood appeared, causing the Celestial Lions who were about to take action to pause suddenly.

"Longevity Blood???"

Their eyes sharply turned to the Saintess of Eternal Life on the sacrificial platform, discovering that she was still standing there, unchanged, and thus they refocused their gaze on Lin Jing.

"No, this isn't the Saintess's blood. The aura is completely different," the ancestral worshippers remarked in surprise, "Is this the blood of another Longevity Body??"

"Boy, you are...…"

Seeing all eyes focused on him, before Lin Jing could introduce himself, someone had already recognized him.

"The Hanging Gourd, the Loose Robe Squirrel… he is Lin Jing, the first genius of the Ancient Country whom all major sects had previously wanted, the one who refined the Ten Great Strange Gu!"

Someone spoke incredulously, not understanding why this person suddenly appeared among the Celestial Lion clan, let alone why he possessed Longevity Blood!!

"Lin Jing?" The powerhouses of the Celestial Lion clan were taken aback, "The human being wanted by the Yin Corpse Sect??"

Suddenly, the Celestial Lions' expressions changed as if they had realized something and seemed to understand why this person was wanted by the Yin Corpse Sect!

It wasn't about the Ten Great Strange Gu...

"Yes, I am indeed Lin Jing, wanted by the Yin Corpse Sect and targeted by both major demon sects," Lin Jing's illusion smiled faintly and said, "I apologize for interrupting this festival of ancestral worship."

"I merely heard that the Celestial Lion clan's festival was exceptionally grand, so I came here specifically to announce something."

"Are you all curious as to why the Yin Corpse Sect would want a mere Beast Taming Cultivator like me... it's simple, it's not because I possess the Ten Great Strange Gu, nor is it because of my extraordinary potential, but..."

"Longevity Body."

"I am a Longevity Body, the second Longevity Body of this era, which holds great significance for the Yin Corpse Sect, thus they have issued a bounty on me."

"However, I am one to always seek revenge. Since the Yin Corpse Sect has placed a bounty on me, I naturally want to retaliate."

"Sadly, my strength is meager, so I can only issue a bounty here, entrusting my friends in the Demon Beast Realm to help me eliminate the demon sects."

"Anyone who can hunt Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect can exchange the opponent's remnant nascent for a drop of Longevity Blood from me. Anyone who can hunt a Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivator can exchange the opponent's remnant primordial spirit for a hundred drops of Longevity Blood!"

"And anyone who can kill a Void Profound Demon Cultivator of the Yin Corpse Sect… can take any one longevity organ from me."

"Oh, by the way, the Gu God Sect counts too."

"The first bounty will be settled in ten years; by then, I will be outside the Celestial Lion clan's territory to exchange for the bounties."

As Lin Jing spoke, the entire ancestral worship festival fell into extreme silence. Everyone felt it was utterly absurd and unimaginable.

Putting aside the shocking news that the first Foundation Establishment genius from the Ancient Country was a Longevity Body...

That this Longevity Body would arrive at the Celestial Lion clan's ancestral worship festival to put a bounty on the demon sects?

What a joke.

How did he dare?

To disrupt the Celestial Lion clan's ancestral worship festival, does he think he can return alive?

Such a reckless act left the multitude of beasts a bit bewildered.

However, when they looked at Lin Jing's expression, they found that he seemed exceedingly serious, unlike a jest.

"Boy, having disrupted my Celestial Lion clan's important festival, do you think nothing will happen to you???"

The Celestial Lion Race Leader laughed in anger, seemingly enraged to laughter, but in the eyes of many demon beasts and cultivators, it was not angry at all, it was entirely a laugh.

If earlier they hadn't known Lin Jing's situation, disrupting the festival would indeed warrant immense fury.

But now knowing Lin Jing is a Longevity Body, for the Celestial Lion clan, the festival being disrupted is nothing; what ancestral worship festival could be more important than a living Longevity Body?

The Celestial Lion clan had already mastered one Longevity Body, if they could have another… the clan's fortune would be unimaginable.

The most crucial part is… in the eyes of the Celestial Lion Race Leader, capturing Lin Jing also means acquiring a Longevity Body for breeding.

The current Celestial Lion Saintess, to maintain the purity of her blood and the characteristics of her cultivation technique, couldn't break her primordial yin, but Lin Jing, being a Longevity Body, had no such problem. Though a Longevity Body is difficult to pass on through reproduction, that was in the past!

The Medicinal Toad Race's elixir, the Tadpole Pill, at least during its effective period, promised that most cultivation physiques would be 100% inherited by offspring. Although the physiques used in experiments were some ordinary Spirit Bodies, without Divine Bodies or such special physiques as Longevity Bodies, in the Celestial Lion Race Leader's view, this pill could definitely increase the likelihood of offspring inheriting their parents' physiques.

Once they obtained the Tadpole Pill and captured Lin Jing, the Longevity Body, it would be heavenly blessing the Celestial Lion clan!

The leader locked onto Lin Jing firmly, yet found that this Longevity Body seemed entirely unaware of the severity of the situation.

"Disrupting the Celestial Lion clan's ancestral worship festival..."

"So what?" Lin Jing hovered in mid-air, indifferent to the Celestial Lion Race Leader's threat, "Does the Celestial Lion clan plan to keep me, making me a Celestial Lion Saint Child, drawing my blood day and night to nurture the clan?"

"Hahahahaha———"

"Boy, you know it well!!!" The Celestial Lion Race Leader's body gradually enlarged, "Rest assured, as my Celestial Lion Saint Child, the Yin Corpse Sect won't dare capture you again!!"

After finishing, it extended a massive claw to grab Lin Jing. Lin Jing's illusion alongside the Squirrel illusion was lifelike; no one could tell they were mere avatars, even if external avatars usually reveal themselves somehow, Lin Jing's illusion was truly peerless.

Zi.

Lin Jing, with a calm expression, pinched his Longevity Blood, intent on self-destructing, but in the next instant, an unforeseen event occurred.

Boom!!!

A terrifying aura swept through as the hand of the Celestial Lion Race Leader, who had reached the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation, suddenly severed, cut off by an unknown force.

It was aghast, looking toward a certain direction.

There, the Celestial Lion Saintess, who had been like a walking corpse, suddenly emanated an unimaginably fearful power, causing the space around her to twist and shatter.

The Celestial Lion Saintess raised her head, with light appearing in her eyes. Under everyone's incredulous gaze, her cultivation surged to the Void Profound Realm!

"Thank you for your Secret Technique…" She slowly looked at Lin Jing, who was stunned speechless in midair.
