Immortal through Beast Taming

"Think carefully, going to the Source World is the best choice for you. After all, the strongest person there is only a Divinity Transformation. Someday, you might even become the strongest in the Source World, monopolizing all its resources with the advantage of your Longevity Body."

Lin Jing pondered slightly.

"Ten years, top ten, the time is tight. However, it's not completely impossible, since it's only top ten, not first."

Right now, the Dragon Carp is about to transform into a Nascent Soul. If it can successfully cultivate the Immortal Fire, there's still a good chance.

But…

"What about the Transformation Grass, and the Transformation Pill if we leave?" Lin Jing voiced his doubts.

He became the Demon Court Saint Child entirely due to his skills in producing Transformation Pills.

If he leaves, the revival path of the Demon Court demon race would effectively be cut off.

After all, this journey might take a long time.

Locked in synthesizing a large quantity of mutated Transformation Grass to leave behind, along with leaving the Thunder Refinement method, is just a temporary measure and not a permanent solution. Sooner or later, it will be used up.

"I have naturally considered this point."

The Demon Emperor spoke slowly, "Just split you up, leave half, and the other half goes to the Source World."

Lin Jing: ???

"Dual Avatar," the Demon Emperor spoke.

"The key to crafting Transformation Pills lies with your Squirrel Carp."

"You are a Beast Master, without a doubt. If you go to the Source World, they need to follow you. Otherwise, you cannot compete with the prodigies of other realms."

"But if they leave, Transformation Pills cannot be crafted."

"The best solution is for them to each craft a Dual Avatar once they reach the Nascent Soul Stage. By then, your main body can leave with you while the avatars remain in the Celestial Essence Realm. In this way, although compared to other prodigies who crafted avatars, you lose half of your combat power and cannot rely on avatars to better comprehend the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Source World, at least you leave a fallback for the Demon Court and yourself."

"Whether your main body going to the Source World dies in battle, or the avatar left in the Celestial Essence Realm is assassinated, as long as not all perish, there is still hope for resurgence."

"Dual Avatar differs from ordinary avatars. Ordinary avatars, though they can inherit conventional magic, cannot inherit the Divine Techniques of Treasure Beasts. However, the avatars can even replicate the Divine Techniques of Treasure Beasts. So, crafting avatars is the only choice."

Dual Avatar is a powerful Divine Technique that every cultivator can only craft once. Lin Jing was hearing for the first time that avatars could even inherit the power of Treasure Beasts… The Demon Emperor is also a Treasure Beast; it should have tried it itself, so the possibility is high.

"If that's the case, no problem." Lin Jing felt this method was feasible.

"Alright, in ten years, climb onto the top ten of the Luck Gold List. However, in these ten years, you may not need to go around challenging and plundering luck to improve your ranking."

"Have you heard of the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly?"

Lin Jing recalled, "The Celestial Essence Grand Assembly is a grand event of the Celestial Essence Ancient Country held once every sixty years. At that time, all cultivations sects and families in the nine domains of the ancient country participate, and the Ancient Emperor also attends."

"During the assembly, grand competitions are arranged for the prodigies of each cultivation sect. The outstanding forces will be favored by the Luck True Dragon, increasing the sect's luck…"

"Correct, the Ancient Emperor plans to host a continental-wide Celestial Essence Grand Assembly ten years from now, modeled after this ancient country's grand assembly, allowing only the top hundred prodigies on the Luck Gold List to participate in the final battle. So, even if not caring much about the Gold List ranking in these ten years, as long as you perform in the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly ten years later, there's still a chance to enter the top ten of the Gold List."

"Therefore, no need to be hasty. You can use these ten years to cultivate and enhance your cultivation, then make your mark at the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly."

"The benefit of this is avoiding revealing your magic and Divine Techniques trump card easily, becoming a target for other prodigies to seize luck."

"I hope both you and Qing Yao can enter the top ten, allowing our Demon Court to occupy two places. The Immortal Source is indeed a good thing. It's very likely that those with the Treasure Beast bloodline can possess a complete Immortal Beast bloodline… evolving into Immortal Beasts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reminder. I will do my best." Lin Jing's heart stirred, the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly in ten years?

So soon, it'll be necessary to compete with the top second-gens of the Celestial Essence Realm…

Ten years, Lin Jing could accept. After all, with countless resources backing from the Demon Court, once the Dragon Carp reaches Nascent Soul, he can craft Golden Cores to enhance cultivation, plus the Time Hourglass, ten years equals over fifty years, it's not impossible to give it a try.

After discussing with Lin Jing, the Demon Emperor said, "Then strive hard. My main body has already gone to the Realm Wall, collaborating with other Seeking Dao Cultivators to reinforce the wall. Ten years should still be able to hold… In addition, since you're going to the Source World to compete for the top ten prodigy spots, you must obtain the Golden Light Gu from the Golden Ray Temple."

Lin Jing replied, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already reached an agreement with One Void Profound Ghost Bride, the Golden Light Gu is a sure win for the Demon Court, as long as the Immortal Monk in Golden Ray Temple is fair and just, the Golden Light Gu is already in the Demon Court's pocket."

The Demon Emperor chuckled, "If that baldy tries to cheat, this emperor will personally fetch it. But how did you cooperate with Void Profound Ghost Bride???"

It raised its eyebrow.

"Picked up her wedding letter during Qi Cultivation Stage."

"Forget it." The Demon Emperor gave up thinking. For such prodigies of great destiny, nothing happening to them is surprising.

It needed to continue assisting the Dragon Carp in synthesizing the Immortal Fire.

......

After finishing the exchange with the Demon Emperor, the Ghost Bride emerged from underground, and the Thunder Dragon Ancestor also descended beside Lin Jing.

"What is His Majesty the Demon Emperor's command?" Thunder Dragon Ancestor inquired.

"Just to make sure we obtain the Golden Light Gu; next, the Celestial Essence Realm may undergo a change." Lin Jing took a deep breath and explained the potential happenings in the Celestial Essence Realm to the Ghost Bride and Thunder Dragon Ancestor.

"Ah?" Thunder Dragon Ancestor was equally shocked. It hadn't transformed into a demon race yet, and war was already looming?

"Celestial Demon Realm, what's that?" The Ghost Bride didn't care much; she was already dead now. She only wanted to know her fiancée's outcome. Subsequently, she wouldn't mind if her soul disintegrated or elsewise.

"Just a group of outsiders with ill intent." Lin Jing looked at the Ghost Bride, planning to secure the Golden Light Gu first. Although he seemed to be an outsider too, he was probably not considered malevolent.

Once securing the Golden Light Gu, he needed to quickly improve his Pet Beast's cultivation. Otherwise, though forcing into the Celestial Essence Realm's top ten prodigies, in the Source World, he couldn't exhibit his prowess.

The Demon Emperor made sense; the Source World is too fitting for him, practically his dream paradise.

Not only an Immortal Source is born every ten years, but the highest cultivation is no more than Divinity Transformation.

Lin Jing longed to settle there, hiding out indefinitely.

Even if going out, it would be only after all six contract Pet Beasts breakthrough to Void Profound.
