Chapter 107: Transcendence to Sainthood
The information brought by Elder Shen Song left Lin Jing silent for a long time.
Indeed... where in this world is there absolute tranquility?
He sighed, "Elder Shen Song, what about the remnants of the demon race you encountered in the void?"
"Naturally, it has reincarnated."
"In any case, that old fox did help me quite a bit. The reason he gave me the Golden Bell was also in hopes that after reincarnating into the Celestial Essence Continent, he could grow up during the Golden Era."
"So... you'd better not have a child any time soon, otherwise it would be troublesome if someone took advantage of it."
"You wouldn't want your partner to give birth to an old monster that's lived for thousands of years, would you?"
Lin Jing chuckled bitterly, what a strange discussion.
"I roughly understand the situation... Elder Shen Song, you have just broken through to Void Profound not long ago, do you need to consolidate your realm further? I'll prepare a cave abode for you."
"As for the Celestial Demon Sect and the matter of initiating the Golden Era, once we've dealt with our current tasks, we shall seek an audience with His Majesty the Demon Emperor to discuss it."
"At the moment, my Ice Soul Gu is breaking through, I must stay by its side attentively."
"I know you're busy, two Void Profound Demon Ancestors came to visit, and you just dealt with them using a clone," it easily saw through it, realizing that the one meeting with it was merely Lin Jing's wooden clone, while the true body should be guarding the Gu insect.
However, these matters aren't urgent, and initially, it didn't even plan to tell Lin Jing about them so soon.
After all, the invasion of the Outer Celestial Demon doesn't have much to do with Lin Jing, who's at the Foundation Establishment Stage with a Longevity Body, when the sky falls, taller ones will hold it up.
As for the initiation of the Golden Era, Elder Shen Song originally intended to wait until it reached the Inquiry Stage in cultivation to prepare, regaining a lot of past life memories with the help of the demon race at the Inquiry Stage. With these inherited memories, Elder Shen Song believes reaching the Inquiry Stage within a thousand years shouldn't be a major problem.
However, due to Lin Jing becoming the Demon Court Saint Heir, Elder Shen Song chose to inform him early. After all, if the Golden Era can be initiated earlier, its cultivation speed could increase, and reaching the Inquiry Stage might only take a century.
"Since there's no precedent for miraculous Gu devouring another, I must watch it personally to be assured." Lin Jing gave an apologetic smile.
"That spider following you is indeed enjoying a good life."
Subsequently, under the arrangement of Lin Jing's wooden clone, Elder Shen Song also rooted down in this mountain, beginning to consolidate its realm.
Meanwhile, the Qilin Ancestor was also dismissed by another of Lin Jing's clones with a few ordinary Transformation Pills.
Just like that, two more months passed.
A superb water spirit vein connecting to the deep sea... no, now it should be an ice attribute spirit vein. To make this place more suitable for the cultivation of the Ice Soul Gu, Lin Jing transformed this water attribute spirit vein into an ice attribute spirit vein using some ice attribute spiritual objects of the world.
At this moment, inside this superb ice spirit vein, a cocoon made of spider silk was swaying with a buzzing sound, with Lin Jing sitting cross-legged outside the spirit vein, his Divine Sense constantly observing.
Initially, he worried whether there would be accidents during the process of devouring the Thunder Tribulation Gu, but fortunately, His Majesty the Demon Emperor... not only erased all consciousness and power from the Thunder Tribulation Gu but also reverted it back to its most primal form, making it much easier for the Ice Soul Gu to devour.
"So delicious."
"Wuwuwuwu, it's really too delicious."
"In this life, I've never eaten something so delicious.."
Accompanied by a voice filled with mixed emotions, spiritual power suddenly surged through the ice vein. Lin Jing stood up, and there it was, with a bang, the white cocoon expanded and burst open into countless white threads. Within the scene resembling a white meteor shower, appeared a little spider with a body like ice crystal, flickering with faint electric light.
"It succeeded, huh." Lin Jing's lips curled slightly as he looked at the Ice Soul Gu.
Cultivation, Early-Stage Core Formation!
Simultaneously, a new Divine Technique from the Demon Core was also nurtured by the Ice Soul Gu!
[Demon Core Divine Technique, Extraordinary into Saintly!]
This divine technique... Lin Jing's eyes narrowed.
The Thunder Tribulation Gu had a special ability to use the poison of thunder and lightning to stimulate the host's body, forcing it to exceed its physical limits, hence unleashing greater physical strength, defense, and speed.
At that time, Elder Lei Gu used a similar method to break free from the Demon Emperor's oppression.
However, this ability to forcibly enhance the physical body through the power of thunder and lightning carried significant burdens, leading to bodily collapse after battle.
Once the Ice Soul Gu devoured the Thunder Tribulation Gu, the method of enhancing the physical body's power quickly found a way to alleviate its side effects by using the extreme power of frost to control motion with stillness, thus reducing bodily overload.
As for this Demon Core Divine Technique, Extraordinary into Saintly, it perfectly combines the forces of motion and stillness, empowering the Ice Soul Gu with a dominant Gu poison that can enhance the physical strength of other life forms without side effects!!
If one's cultivation isn't high, raising a major realm isn't out of the question.
"This divine technique is quite impressive." Lin Jing couldn't help but speak, considering the possibility of bodily sanctification one day when combining the Gu poison divine technique of the Ice Soul Gu with body refining using the scales and blood of the Thunder Dragon Race.
"Impressive, is it..." However, within the Ice Soul Gu, there was a deep sense of melancholy.
"It's still no match for those two…"
This divine technique seems to require a host or pet to fully exert its power; its enhancement to its own singular power isn't significant.
Thus, limitations are too many, and it's still no match for the Pine Leaf Mouse and the Dragon Koi.
Although the Demon Core Divine Technique of the Dragon Koi also leans towards support type, the Treasure Beast Divine Technique of the Dragon Koi is, in the eyes of the Ice Soul Gu, simply too terrifying.
Especially after the battle at Heaven-Reaching City, Lin Jing and the Dragon Koi used the Ghost Fire Technique to burn countless souls of strong individuals.
Looking across the entire Celestial Essence Continent, maybe only the Inquiry Stage Hall Master of the Nether Hall surpasses the Dragon Koi in the skill of the Ghost Fire Technique.
Those Void Profound Elders, who lived for thousands of years, perhaps their Netherworld Ghost Fire isn't even the match of the Dragon Koi.
This heaven-defying quality of Netherworld Ghost Fire, when combined with the Flame Emperor's Divine Technique and other flames, has reached the level of "quasi-immortal fire," no longer resembling mundane power.
And then there's the Pine Leaf Mouse.
Although the Pine Leaf Mouse's Treasure Beast Divine Technique is not combat-oriented, and its Demon Core Divine Technique isn't as offensively unparalleled as the Flame Emperor's, it merely enhances demon power the more five-element objects are stored in its Demon Core Space...
But the issue lies right here.
If it were before the battle at Heaven-Reaching City, the Pine Leaf Mouse's Demon Core Divine Technique wouldn't have exerted any over-the-top power. After all, the Pine Leaf Mouse could only be considered slightly wealthy...
However, post-battle at Heaven-Reaching City, each time Lin Jing defeated an enemy, the opponent's storage bag provided a substantial amount of five-element objects.
All those abundant resources from myriad powerful individuals were placed by Lin Jing in the Pine Leaf Mouse's Demon Core Space... the quantity and quality of the five-element objects inside are naturally terrifying, which has made the Pine Leaf Mouse's Demon Core strength exceedingly abnormal, no longer resembling ordinary items.
"Don't worry too much about it; in the future, I'll let you consume more miraculous Gu, you'll eventually catch up with them." Lin Jing chuckled, suppressing his urge to break through.
The breakthrough feedback from the Ice Soul Gu indicated he could attempt to charge for the Golden Core, but before retreating to break through the Golden Core, Lin Jing had one important thing to do.
He took out the tiger tooth, a gift from the Demon Emperor to contact and summon him, and input mana directly.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, a serious problem has arisen..."
Demon Court.
The Demon Emperor, who was studying demon race inheritance, frowned.
"As the Saint Heir of the Demon Court, representing the face of the Demon Court, there shouldn't be anything making you so flustered."
The Demon Emperor understood Lin Jing's experiences, joining the Beast Taming Sect, then its closure, joining the academy, then its suspension...
However, at present, having joined the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor had confidence in ensuring the safety of the Longevity Body.
Mighty Demon Court, as a top-tier force in the Celestial Essence Realm, wouldn't be easily scattered by a mere Longevity Body.
She hoped that as the Saint Heir of the Demon Court, Lin Jing would possess the appropriate mindset.
Remain calm when facing matters.
"The Celestial Essence Continent might be facing a catastrophic disaster!" Lin Jing called out to the Demon Emperor.
Demon Emperor: ?
