Immortal through Beast Taming

"Impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

When Lin Jing revealed the sealed ghost, not a single person from the Buddhist sect was willing to believe it.

From the Golden Core Stage prodigies of the Buddhist sect to the profound powerhouses of the Void Profound Stage.

"Master!" Qin Siyuan, who had been defeated by Lin Jing before, looked at Master Jingxin with disbelief.

This Void Profound Stage nun, though unwilling to believe it, her Divine Sense told her that it was all true.

Inside the Buddha-Demon Pearl, it was indeed the Void Profound Ghost Bride that the Buddhist sect had temporarily given up on dealing with.

What on earth happened...

This Ghost Bride wasn't supposed to be so easily handled.

"Thunder Dragon Ancestor, no, that's not right..." Master Wumo in white looked outside the hall.

With the help of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, even though Lin Jing and his group might be able to annihilate a Void Profound ghost, directly annihilating and sealing a Void Profound ghost within the body of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator were two entirely different concepts.

The latter's difficulty multiplied.

Even with a Divine Body like Monk Dao Hui from the Sun Temple, a ghost bane constitution, it was absolutely impossible to seal a Void Profound ghost within one's body at the Golden Core Stage. Not to mention Golden Core, even with a Nascent Soul, there was no hope.

So how did this Beast Taming Sect Saint Heir manage to do it?

"Demon Court Saint Child, did you forget something?"

While the other Buddhist prodigies were speechless in the face of the Ghost Bride, their expressions shocked, Monk Dao Hui of the Sun Temple, after a moment of silence, began to question.

He actually had no interest in the Golden Light Gu; the Golden Light Gu had a significant effect on Buddhist cultivators training in the Golden Body, but he practiced the Solar Sutra, the Sun's Buddhist Technique, which didn't have much need for the Golden Light Gu. The only reason he got involved was purely not to let the Demon Saint Child seize the Buddhist sect's chance.

If the Demon Court Saint Child truly succeeded in gaining the inheritance, what would become of the Buddhist sect's face?

At the moment, Lin Jing's display indeed exceeded his expectations, but it didn't mean he was ready to hand it over.

"The final test isn't just about who sealed the higher-ranked ghost entity, but also about who can, in a conscious state, harness more Ghost God power!"

"If you merely succeeded in sealing her but cannot harness her power, it doesn't count as success..."

"Perhaps it was simply luck due to some unusual condition she encountered."

Dao Hui remembered that the Ghost Bride was a mixed ghost entity, with an extremely unstable state. If he wasn't mistaken, Lin Jing should have taken advantage of the chaos in the Ghost Bride's consciousness, assisted by a Guardian, to barely seal her.

But even if he succeeded in sealing her, Dao Hui absolutely did not believe that Lin Jing could wield the power of this Void Profound Ghost God!

It's like saying a Golden Core Cultivator cannot activate a supreme treasure; forcibly doing so would result in exhaustion and death.

The power of a Void Profound level Ghost God, even with the Ghost Bride's full cooperation, was absolutely impossible for a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to harness.

Dao Hui was certain of this point; he believed that Lin Jing indeed utilized some unfathomable means to successfully seal the Ghost Bride within himself, but sealing the Ghost Bride didn't mean he could bear her power. As long as Lin Jing couldn't control the Ghost Bride's power, no matter how high the level of the sealed entity, it was useless.

The so-called seal would be a joke if he couldn't suppress or use even a trace of the power leaking from the sealed ghost entity, indicating that the seal was as flimsy as paper to the sealed ghost entity, ready to break free at any moment.

In such a circumstance, how could he claim the success of sealing a ghost entity?

At that time, it would serve as an excuse to eliminate Lin Jing from this angle.

After all, the Golden Ray Temple was looking for a Buddhist prodigy who could wield the power of the Golden Light Gu, and merely sealing it within one's body would be too wasteful.

Dao Hui's words were also acknowledged by the other Buddhist prodigies; even if they couldn't obtain the Golden Light Gu themselves, they didn't wish for an outsider like Lin Jing to gain it!

"Indeed." Many prodigies glanced at each other, also doubting Lin Jing's ability to wield the Ghost Bride's power. If even a tiny portion of the Ghost Bride's power could make Lin Jing lose himself and fall into madness, this so-called seal would be meaningless.

"Master Dao Hui's words make sense," agreed a group of Buddhist geniuses.

"Elder Immortal, what I said should be logical, right?" This Monk Dao Hui also reminded the Immortal Monk not to rush to a decision.

However, before the Immortal Monk could respond, Lin Jing calmly shook his head.

"Won't shed tears until seeing the coffin." He couldn't help but look at the Tao-stroking Dao Hui with the flames overhead.

Only to see the Buddha-Demon Pearl being retrieved by Lin Jing, an extremely cold and sinister power emanated from him.

He snorted coldly; normally, what Monk Dao Hui said was correct, that even a hint of power from the Ghost Bride couldn't be wielded by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator like him.

But the mistake was that they didn't regard his status as a Master of the Path.

He was not just a Buddhist cultivator.

Relying solely on Buddhist techniques, he truly couldn't handle the Ghost Bride's power.

However... at this moment, as Lin Jing consumed ten years of life to circulate his Golden Core and activate the Divine Techniques—Divine Imperial Arts—a wisp of the Ghost Bride's Ghost God power, actively released by her, was instantly seized by Lin Jing!

Boom!!!

Lin Jing's long black hair wildly danced, his entire body immersed in red light under the interweaving Ghost God power, his blue robe now colored in red, and his spiritual power remarkably enhanced.

"What are you planning..." Faced with the suddenly intimidating power emerging from Lin Jing, Dao Hui's pupils contracted as he silently cursed, this guy could actually wield the power of the Void Profound Ghost Entity?

What a joke.

Moreover, he merely questioned him, and this Demon Court Saint Child bore killing intent towards him!

Cold sweat trickled down Dao Hui's forehead.

Feeling Lin Jing's killing intent, he also hurriedly attempted to awaken the terrifying ghost entity sealed within his own Buddha-Demon Pearl, hoping to use its power to counter Lin Jing. However, what horrified Dao Hui was that the ghost entity sealed in his Buddha-Demon Pearl became nearly uncontrollable, seemingly frightened, just by sensing a wisp of the Ghost Bride's aura.

"Saint Heir, stop!!"

Similarly, the Immortal Monk was alarmed upon sensing Lin Jing's intent to kill, and just as he intended to intervene, a flash of lightning crossed his mind.

"Don't interfere with the young ones, rest assured, His Highness the Saint Son can handle it."

At this moment, Lin Jing indeed radiated an overwhelming killing aura, although this intent wasn't naturally generated by Lin Jing but was influenced by the Ghost Bride's power.

The power of a Void Profound ghost was too strong, even a slight amount posed a risk of overpowering Lin Jing's emotions. This intent to kill was merely a small part of the negative emotions embedded within the Ghost God power.

In this instant, what influenced Lin Jing most significantly was the Ghost Bride's obsession; under the influence of her obsession, Lin Jing's mind was overwhelmed by the image of that female cultivator with a sword, almost possessed by the Ghost Bride's longing, becoming a part of her. And in front of him, Monk Dao Hui turned into the main culprit for the demise of the Ghost Bride's loved one.

If it were any other cultivator, they might have already succumbed to the Ghost God power's influence and attacked Monk Dao Hui with all their might.

Fortunately, Lin Jing had undergone specialized training, and in that instant, he fused with the Ice Soul Gu, which through its cultivation in the way of obsession during this time, swiftly helped Lin Jing freeze these negative influences, allowing him to regain consciousness and perfectly control the Ghost God power.

He unleashed a palm strike, enveloping Dao Hui in an aura of despair. Dao Hui attempted to resist with his power, but as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, although his power was potent against Ghost God power, how could it compare to the portion of Void Profound might that Lin Jing manipulated at the cost of ten years of lifespan?

Boom!

He was unsurprisingly sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth, and the flames on his head extinguished. He crashed beside Master Jingxin's disciple, Qin Siyuan, who looked on with a horrified gaze.

"This..."

Qin Siyuan's heart was shaken. Dao Hui, ranked in the top fifteen on the Fortune Gold List for potential, had prospects of breaking into the top ten of Buddhist monsters after Divinity Transformation. Although he was at odds with Dao Hui, he acknowledged the other's strength. This Demon Court Saint Heir was truly terrifying... and he had once thought of contesting this monster!
