Immortal through Beast Taming

"His Highness the Saint Son need not worry. I have temporarily restored my strength to its peak using the Returning Light Buddha Technique and repelled these Demon Cultivators."

"The Golden Light Gu is still securely sealed within the temple and has not fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect."

"Now, all those participating in the inheritance test have arrived and are waiting in the Inheritance Hall. His Highness the Saint Son is the last to arrive..."

"With His Highness here, the final inheritance test can finally begin."

The Immortal Monk was using the technique 'Returning Light,' no wonder his complexion had improved significantly.

However, what left Lin Jing speechless was that he wasn't worried about the Gu God Sect stealing the Golden Light Gu.

He was more concerned about who the Gu God Sect had sent.

If the Sect Leader, who controls the Sun Gu, and the Guardian Elder, who controls the Wind Gu, had left their home base and come to the Western Desert, Lin Jing's next command might be to ask Thunder Dragon Ancestor to find them and seize the mystical Gus.

Compared to obtaining just the Golden Light Gu, acquiring three mystical Gus at once would be much more delightful.

While it's been a few days, perhaps they are still in the Western Desert! But with the three major Buddhist cultivators of Golden Ray Temple present, they surely wouldn't dare come here again.

"Using the Returning Light Buddha Technique, isn't that..." Thunder Dragon Ancestor looked at the Immortal Monk, feeling that humans were indeed fragile, though fortunate to be of the Dragon Race, with a relatively long lifespan.

Yet, as it was sighing, it didn't know it was soon going to be working overtime like a beast of burden.

Without confronting the Void Profound Ghosts, the Saint Son had already arranged for the Void Profound Gu Cultivator in his mind.

"It's fine; all humans must die eventually. Using the Returning Light Technique merely accelerates this process. Given my current state, presiding over the Golden Gu inheritance won't be a problem." The Immortal Monk smiled.

At this moment, Master Jingxin and Master Wumo were both observing Lin Jing's situation.

They sensed a strong Ghost God power emanating from Lin Jing.

They couldn't help but glance at Thunder Dragon Ancestor, wondering what kind of ghost Lin Jing had sealed with Thunder Dragon Ancestor's power.

Facing the gaze of two Void Profound Buddhist Cultivators, Thunder Dragon Ancestor sneered... These bald-headed monks surely didn't understand what it meant to be a child of destiny.

Honestly, it initially had little hope that Lin Jing could seal the Void Profound Ghosts, but who would have thought that there was no need for a fight in the end.

These guys were about to be shocked.

"Since that's the case, let's not keep the other geniuses waiting too long." Lin Jing was also eager to start the final test.

......

Meanwhile, at the Golden Ray Temple, Inheritance Hall.

Several Buddhist geniuses who completed the previous tests were gathered here.

Their cultivation ranged from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Among them was Shang Qin Siyuan, a monk from Martial Emperor City who had previously battled Lin Jing.

After some time apart, his cultivation had even broken through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage; it's uncertain whether this was due to Lin Jing's influence.

However, amidst a group of geniuses, Qin Siyuan wasn't the most attention-grabbing. Apart from him, a monk with a burning flame atop his bald head was the most conspicuous among several people.

Dao Hui, the Sun Child, possessing the innate Sun Divine Body, was a disciple of Sun Temple.

"Master Dao Hui," a young mage looked at him and said, "I thought your Sun Temple wasn't interested in the Golden Light Gu; looks like I have no chance this time."

"I merely wish that the Buddhist items do not fall into the hands of the demon race." Dao Hui, the Sun Child, opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"After all, this time, the Demon Court Saint Child has come to meddle in the Buddhist inheritance, and he must not succeed. I heard that Buddhist geniuses on the Golden List have been defeated by him, which made me realize I had to come."

Beside him, Qin Siyuan squinted his eyes, feeling attacked, and looked at Dao Hui. "First, I didn't lose; second, the Golden Light Gu is a creation of the Demon Sect and does not count as a Buddhist inheritance. You, being the first genius in Buddhism, should enter the top ten of the Golden List before lecturing; stop pretending."

"Calm down, calm down," other Buddhist geniuses smiled bitterly, knowing they would argue.

Everyone knew that Hui didn't quite like this halfway monk, Qin Siyuan, because Qin Siyuan had broken his vows multiple times, seemingly not taking Buddhism seriously, and wasn't genuinely devoted to Buddhism. However, due to his exceptional talent, Buddhism was reluctant to give up on this genius Buddhist Cultivator.

"Now that my Sun Sutra is fully completed, I will soon undergo Divinity Transformation. Once I am transformed, the top ten of the Golden List will surely have a place for Buddhism." Dao Hui wasn't bothered by Qin Siyuan's provocation.

"Complete Sun Sutra!"

The Buddhist geniuses were stunned; the Sun Sutra is the temple's treasure cultivation technique, and upon mastering it, one is said to enter the Immortal Burial Volcano, where they can undergo Divinity Transformation using the Immortal Burial Fire. At that time, Dao Hui might really enter the Golden List's top ten.

"The top ten isn't without Nascent Souls; you need Divinity Transformation to enter? Didn't the Demon Court Saintess enter the top ten with Nascent Soul Stage too? Don't disgrace Buddhism. The Demon Court Saint Child has arrived outside as well; losing to the Demon Court Saintess is one thing, but if you also lose to the Demon Court Saint Child at the Golden Core Stage, see what excuses you have."

Qin Siyuan disliked how some Buddhist disciples behaved sanctimoniously. He took out a chicken leg and started eating again.

"Just a Golden Core." Dao Hui glanced at Qin Siyuan disdainfully, and meanwhile, Lin Jing, led by three Buddhist strongmen, arrived at the Inheritance Hall.

The gaze of several Buddhist geniuses immediately fell on Lin Jing.

Feeling numerous unfriendly gazes, Lin Jing was indifferent.

He looked at the Immortal Monk and said, "I remember, senior said that the final test involves comparing the strength of the sealed ghosts, correct?"

"Yes," the Immortal Monk nodded.

Lin Jing glanced at his old acquaintance, Qin Siyuan, and smiled, "That Asura, you didn't completely unseal the being inside you last time, what level is it?"

Qin Siyuan furrowed his brows and said, "Inside me, is a battle ghost at the peak of Divinity Transformation. Last time you escaped, but if we battle again, you won't be so lucky."

"Peak of Divinity Transformation..." Lin Jing surveyed the room, ultimately pausing for a few seconds longer on the monk with flames burning atop his head.

"From what I gather, among those present, the strongest sealed ghost should be his; the ghost inside likely reached half-step Void Profound level and has started refining energy." Lin Jing looked at Dao Hui.

Now, Lin Jing's divine sense, strengthened by the Supreme Treasure Celestial Demon Scroll and nourished by various Void Profounds, had reached an exceedingly terrifying level. Even these Void Profound Buddhist Cultivators might not have divine senses stronger than his.

"What do you mean?" Qin Siyuan frowned.

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "What I mean is, if the opponents are of this level, then there's no need to continue. Immortal Monk, their sealed ghosts are too weak, it seems this Golden Light Gu is indeed destined for me."

"Let's wrap things up quickly; I'm in a hurry. Besides the Golden Light Gu, I need to pursue the Gu God Sect to reclaim the other Gu insects."

"His Highness the Saint Son, you..." When Lin Jing uttered these words, Immortal Monk was startled, but in the next moment, everyone present changed color.

Including Master Wumo and Master Jingxin, they all revealed incredible expressions.

"I've already sealed one of the three Void Profound ghosts recorded by Buddhism, the Ghost Bride, within the Buddha-Demon Pearl. I reckon, in this place, there shouldn't be anyone with a higher-level sealed ghost than mine, right? If that's the case, let's keep things simple."

He summoned the Buddha-Demon Pearl, within which a ghost bride in a wedding dress, bound by Buddha chains, appeared in everyone's sight.

"How is this possible." The Immortal Monk was stunned; this defied common sense.

Even if this Demon Court Saint Child wasn't a Beast Master but a Ghost Master, he couldn't have possibly sealed a Void Profound ghost!
