Immortal through Beast Taming

Upon breaking through to the Golden Core, Lin Jing naturally also developed the divine techniques of the Golden Core.

His Golden Core divine technique is known as "Shen Yu Technique."

It's considered a combination of the base of the Dao and longevity attributes.

Although he still hasn't learned the Celestial Demon Body, the Shen Yu Technique makes up for some regrets Lin Jing had, with effects quite similar to both.

The so-called Shen Yu Technique is where Lin Jing uses lifespan and the power of the Golden Core to transcend levels and control all things.

Currently, using the Shen Yu Technique once consumes around ten years of lifespan at most.

If Lin Jing is willing to consume ten years of lifespan, he may now be able to control high-grade magical treasures he previously couldn't manage.

If Lin Jing is willing to consume lifespan, even facing a Nascent Soul Demon King, he can attempt to control it with the Shen Yu Technique.

Even facing humans, Lin Jing can attempt manipulation using the Shen Yu Technique.

In Lin Jing's view, this Shen Yu Technique is like an alternate version of the Celestial Demon Body.

The advantage of the Celestial Demon Body is, once cultivated, whether burning ten years, a hundred years, or thousands of years of lifespan, it can directly achieve the effect.

However, with the Shen Yu Technique, at his current level of proficiency, he can only consume a maximum of ten years of lifespan to activate it, and the increase in power is not as significant as with the Celestial Demon Body.

Nevertheless, in terms of skill, it surpasses the Celestial Demon Body. The Celestial Demon Body merely enhances mana levels without improving magical proficiency, lacking the skill to utilize the corresponding power, relying only on brute force, whereas the Shen Yu Technique advances Lin Jing's Dao mastery, enabling control over all things.

The arrival of the Shen Yu Technique undoubtedly adds another powerful control method to Lin Jing, who possesses the Longevity Body.

As for Lin Jing's third major harvest...

After ten years, he has finally allowed the Technique Elemental Spirit, Magic Mushroom, to develop its own intelligence, perfecting its illusion skills!

"Master."

Magic Mushroom hovered beside Lin Jing, asking as it saw him rise, "Do you no longer need me to transform the cultivation environment?"

"Yes, disperse it."

As Lin Jing's words fell, within the hourglass of time, the forest, ice and thunder ruins, and alchemy room that were transformed from illusion to reality disappeared instantly, and the other pet beasts inside raised their heads.

"We are going out."

"Next, I'll assign you another task."

Lin Jing looked at Magic Mushroom, recalling the reminder from the Demon Emperor.

Unwavering resolve to die...

Only by possessing unwavering resolve to die can one cultivate the Celestial Demon Body.

But such a thing, given his current status, is indeed difficult to possess.

After all, he now has the protection of the Demon Emperor, encountering a crisis that would generate unwavering resolve to die is too challenging.

However, the birth of the Magic Mushroom gives Lin Jing hope to achieve the Celestial Demon Body.

"From now on, you can, without compromising my safety, at times when my psychological defenses are weakest, create an illusion for me to design a crisis that compels such resolve, then awaken me immediately upon my cultivation of the Celestial Demon Body before activation."

"No limit to the number of attempts."

Using illusion techniques to cultivate the Celestial Demon Body is currently the only method Lin Jing can think of.

After speaking, he sealed his memory of issuing this command to Magic Mushroom, so he wouldn't be guarded against this Technique Elemental Spirit.

"Ah..." Magic Mushroom scratched its head, falling into deep thought.

Difficult, so difficult.

How could such an unreasonable request be made?

It itself is a crystallization of Lin Jing's magic, essentially a part of Lin Jing, created from his mental divergence, so Lin Jing's request is to hypnotize himself... Won't this lead to getting lost between illusion and reality?

......

Five years after the Golden Era.

Lin Jing officially emerges from seclusion.

He himself is at early-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Song Leaf Mouse at mid-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Dragon Carp at perfect Core Formation cultivation.

Ice Soul Gu at mid-stage Core Formation cultivation!

After emerging from seclusion, Lin Jing immediately reports his status to the Demon Emperor.

Simultaneously, the Demon Emperor's voice emanates from Lin Jing's Tiger Fang.

"Congratulations."

"Is that Dragon Carp's cultivation nearly nascent soul level? Well done."

"Indeed, we will promptly refine a Transformation Pill effective for both Demon Emperor-level and Demon Ancestor-level beings, please rest assured your Majesty." Lin Jing reassures.

Before entering seclusion, they enhanced the quality of the Transformation Pill, refining a pill enabling Demon King-level demon beasts to transform, handed it over to the senior sister, awaiting the Sect Leader and Senior Brother Ouyang's emergence to use it.

As for whether they wish to dissolve the contract and transform, that is their concern, but for the Beast Taming Sect, a Transformation Pill enabling Demon King-level demon beasts is sufficient; however, for the Demon Court, it must enable transformation for Demon Emperor and Demon Ancestor levels to be of strategic value.

"No rush," the Demon Emperor says, "since its cultivation is at perfection, why not wait until it achieves Nascent Soul, then further refine the pill, as its current cultivation might allow a Demon Emperor-level Transformation Pill, nevertheless a Demon Ancestor-level pill remains challenging."

"Agreed." Lin Jing thought to prepare for Dragon Carp's Nascent Soul, but the Demon Emperor had already arranged it clearly.

"In the Western Desert, there's a volcano named Immortal Burial Volcano, formed during the Immortal Palace wars when the Immortal Alliance set up an array to stir the core of the sun, burying immortals from the lower world."

"Given the Dragon Carp's current situation, ordinary flames are hard to enhance its fire power; next, I'll escort it to 'Immortal Burial Volcano' to help it refine the fire from there. If successful, combining its Treasure Beast divine technique, it may handle fire at the 'Immortal Fire' level, becoming your best auxiliary beast whether refining Transformation Pills or competing for the Golden Era's fortunes."

Lin Jing was slightly stunned.

Is this the feeling of being the top-tier second-generation immortal?

"As for you, accompany your pet beast in the Western Desert, before it successfully breakthroughs, I'll assign you another mission."

"The Western Desert's Demon Court branch informs..."

"The lead monk of Golden Ray Temple failed to break through to Realm of Inquiry during the Golden Era, now his lifespan is nearing its end, and soon he will have no lifespan left, while inside him lies one of the ten great Gus - the Golden Light Gu, soon becoming ownerless."

"To ensure this Golden Light Gu doesn't wreak havoc post-mortem, the lead monk purifies it back to its original Thunder Tribulation Gu form, seeking an outstanding Buddhist cultivator prodigy to inherit this remarkable Gu."

"That monk has set several inheritance tests in Golden Ray Temple. Passing them, one can inherit the Golden Light Gu, with the only requirement being notable Buddhist cultivation accomplishments, which you seem to meet."

"On this trip to the Western Desert, during the Dragon Carp's breakthrough, find a way to obtain that Golden Light Gu from the Buddhist Sect."

"This Emperor belongs to the Divine Tiger Race of Gold Element, once you acquire the Golden Light Gu and gain domineering Gold Element power, I shall teach you a unique imperial weapon for protection, which can only be activated by the most domineering Gold Element power. Acquiring the Golden Light Gu is the most efficient choice for you now."

Lin Jing grips the Tiger Fang.

The Buddhist monk who seals the Golden Light Gu within is dying; the Golden Light Gu inheritance... What's this fortune of Ice Soul Gu? It just swallowed the Thunder Tribulation Gu, and now there's news of Golden Light Gu.
