Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 4: Journey West to Seek Gold



Lin Jing was silent.

Elder Mo Song's ideology was far too dangerous.

"Elder, if it truly comes to that, it wouldn't be called 'surrendering to the Celestial Demon Realm.' It would be called cultivators of the Celestial Essence Realm enduring hardships, infiltrating the Celestial Demon Realm as undercover agents to seek an opportunity for revenge."

After correcting Elder Shen Song's statement, Lin Jing said, "Let's hope it never comes to that day."

"It would be best if the mighty ones in the Immortal Realm quickly deal with the Demon Lord, then reopen the ascension path, allowing immortals to descend and completely wipe out the Celestial Demon Sect in the lower realm, so the Celestial Essence Realm would no longer have to live in fear..."

"You're really dreaming." Elder Shen Song envied such a spirit.

"Naturally, optimistic people don't have a short life." Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Elder, it seems there's another matter..."

"What else is there?" Elder Shen Song was already planning to see Lin Jing off, only to find that Lin Jing truly was a busybody.

"Do you want to introduce it to me?" Elder Shen Song looked at a floating mushroom spirit and fell into contemplation.

"Technique Elemental Spirit, if you want me to praise your talent, it's indeed good. But why is a mushroom the form of a Technique Elemental Spirit of illusion nature? Could it be influenced by me, with a particular fondness for plant and wood spirits?"

"Mush-mush!" The Technique Elemental Spirit glanced at the rough and enormous ugly Shen Song, then burrowed back into Lin Jing's body.

It was only looking for an opportunity to hypnotize Lin Jing...

"It's not like that." Lin Jing spoke up: "It's your neighbor, the other Longevity Body, Gu Qianqiu."

"Oh, her." Elder Shen Song said, "It seems she has reached the peak of Core Formation, her cultivation speed is quite fast. However, this Immortal Prison Mountain's Spiritual Qi is ten portions, and she alone occupies eight... I only don't compete with her for the Spirit Vein because she has only a few years left to live."

Lin Jing helplessly said, "I've prepared some resources to aid in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage and mild longevity-increasing ones. While I'm away, please, Elder, look after her somewhat. Ensure she successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage before exhausting her lifespan."

With the arrival of the Golden Era, Gu Qianqiu should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage more easily.

However, Lin Jing was still not at ease, so he planned to leave all the resources he had acquired in Heaven-Reaching City for increasing longevity and aiding the breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

As for himself, when needed, he would simply obtain them from the Demon Court.

"Alright..." Elder Shen Song muttered. Now that Lin Jing had His Majesty the Demon Emperor protecting him, he didn't know if he would still be able to obtain Lin Jing's blood in the future. And now, with another Longevity Body around, even if Lin Jing's blood couldn't be taken, at least there was a backup...

"Leave it to me, if there's no other way, using demonic skills will also send her up there, trust in my capabilities."

......

Soon after, Lin Jing reluctantly bid farewell to Elder Shen Song.

Gu Qianqiu was still in closed-door cultivation, so Lin Jing did not disturb her.

He inspected the dungeon, rewarded the deputy captain of the demon-catching squad, Mosquito Maiden, and then contacted the senior sister.

Currently, the dragon carp hadn't reached the Nascent Soul Stage, and using divine techniques still imposed some burden, so Lin Jing planned to wait for the dragon carp to break through to Nascent Soul and return to refine this group of demons.

Moreover, it was only a few years, the number of demons imprisoned under the mountain wasn't too many yet.

Better stockpile a bit more...

With the old ancestor Huanli from Thousand Illusions Mountain overseeing the Immortal Prison, Lin Jing didn't worry about anything happening to these demons.

"Congratulations on coming out of seclusion!"

Lin Jing took out the communication demon jade of the senior sister, and they relayed messages from thousands of miles away.

"Yes, likewise, congratulations senior sister for entering the top ten on the Fortune Gold List..." Lin Jing looked at the sky.

This Fortune Gold List was usually invisible, requiring cultivators to focus their mind to see it.

On the massive Fortune Gold List, senior sister Xu Qingyao's name was prominently placed in ninth position.

After a few years of grooming by His Majesty the Demon Emperor, with a massive resource tilt, she was hailed as the number one Nascent Soul prodigy in the world.

After all, senior sister is now the representative of the Demon Court, her prowess cannot be weak, and under the enormous resource tilt, not only she but every pet beast consumed vast resources.

"Stop talking, the top eight are all in the Divinity Transformation Stage. After a few years, when I'm fully prepared, I'm going to strive for Divinity Transformation too, but probably... it'll take a long time." Xu Qingyao said displeased.

Prodigy.

This term usually equates with youth.

Normally speaking, those who can cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Stage, even if not old monsters, should have used up half their lifespan, having nothing to do with the term prodigy.

But there is such a group of monsters, who, despite being potentially still youthful compared to their total lifespan, have cultivated to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

And such cultivators, in the Celestial Essence Realm, currently seem to number eight.

These eight individuals, when compared to their total lifespan, might still be in their youth, but their cultivation and realm have already reached the mid-stage of the cultivation path.

From the perspective of everyone under the heavens, these eight people most likely have the hope to reach the Inquiry Stage.

"Senior Sister, keep it up. I just don't know when I'll be able to make it onto this list..." Lin Jing sighed. If he could ascend, the boost to his cultivation speed would surely be immense.

The upcoming competition for the rare Gu at the Buddhist Sect is unlikely to be peaceful. By then, he wondered if his own strength would allow him to ascend the Fortune Golden List.

After all, he observed it carefully just now... Initially, when the list appeared, all one hundred names were of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage. But five years later today, six names of Golden Core Cultivators have appeared among those hundred.

This implies that these six Golden Core Cultivators successfully defeated some of the Nascent Soul geniuses on the Golden List, seizing their fortune.

Six ruthless individuals...

This is not as simple as defeating ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators who made it there through time...

This indicates that if these six individuals cross into the Nascent Soul Stage, they are highly likely to enter the top ranks of the Golden List, their talents even more terrifying!

"You..." Xu Qingyao, hearing Lin Jing's muttering, couldn't help but ask.

"What is your current lifespan, approximately?"

Without waiting for Lin Jing to answer, Xu Qingyao said, "If we consider the ratio of our current age to total lifespan, perhaps we can call ourselves geniuses, but for you, you might still be considered an infant. Now, I represent the Demon Court, representing His Majesty the Demon Emperor. Feeling anxious is normal, but you need not be so hasty... your life... is long."

Lin Jing chuckled, "Alright, actually I wanted to ask if the Sect Leader and Senior Brother have exited seclusion?"

"Yes, they have."

"After exiting seclusion, they were very stunned by all the changes..."

"And the Transformation Pill..."

"Father and Ouyang lacked patience, so they directly dissolved the contract, allowing Mother and Hong'er to complete their transformation." Xu Qingyao sighed, "They said that improving the cultivation technique might take unknown time, so rather than waiting slowly, it's better to dissolve the contract first and research how to refine the Beast Taming Technique to contract with the demon race."

Lin Jing was surprised, "They've all transformed, huh..."

"Well then, Senior Sister, please convey to them that I forgot to mention earlier... during this period, do not have children."

He didn't know by what method the Fox Demon that Elder Shen Song encountered had reincarnated, but as long as it didn't reincarnate into the belly of someone he knew, it would be alright; otherwise, it would be truly awkward.

Especially Senior Brother Ouyang, very dangerous!

After all, their races are similar!

"Uh." Although Senior Sister didn't understand why, she still nodded and said, "I will convey it."

"Regarding the Beast Taming Sect, is there nothing wrong now?" Lin Jing asked the last question he was concerned about.

"Are you referring to the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate? The Ancient Country over there has already given clearance, and the mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect has now moved to the location of the former Qingzhou power, Senluo Hall. After the battle of Heaven-Reaching City, Senluo Hall was also annihilated by the Demon Court, their territory left vacant and was given to the Beast Taming Sect. Now, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and Thousand Illusions Mountain have also submitted to the Demon Court, so this area can almost be considered Demon Court territory."

"As for the Undying Demon you are most concerned about, it is still being suppressed underground at the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate by His Majesty the Demon Emperor's Great Divine Techniques, probably still unaware that it has been moved home."

"Then there is no problem." Lin Jing nodded in agreement. It seems that after the transaction between the Demon Emperor and the Ancient Emperor, the Beast Taming Sect has been properly arranged.

Even if the Ancient Emperor disliked foreign races, faced with the temptation of the Golden Bell, he probably wouldn't care about the fate of the Beast Taming Sect and a minor cultivator like him.

Lin Jing once again looked at the Fortune Golden List, noticing that of the current top ten on the list, a full three were from the Ancient Country, and both the first and second were geniuses of the ancient clans! The foundation of the ancient clans was unimaginably profound.

This time, with the commencement of the Golden Era, it's apparent the Human Race's primary force, the Ancient Country, benefited the most.

First, the Prince Gu...

Second, the Ancient Clan Princess...

Even before the Golden List appeared, no one knew that the Second Ancient Emperor had a daughter. After all, whether it was the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique or the True Dragon Secret Technique, reputation was the core, which is why rumors of the Prince Gu reaching the thirteenth layer of Qi Cultivation, possessing the three great physiques, spread throughout the continent.

But this Ancient Clan Princess previously had no reputation at all, which is truly unusual, unless she was cultivating something other than the Ancient Clan's secret techniques...

"Divinity Transformation, huh..."

After confirming that nothing was amiss on the side of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing prepared himself and then proceeded to the Demon Court's headquarters to seek an audience with the Demon Emperor.

"I will use spatial divine techniques to take you to the Western Desert. The journey is long, and traversing the void will take a long time." At the Demon Court headquarters, the Demon Emperor sat on the dragon throne, hands placed on either side of the seat, gazing at Lin Jing below.

"Alright." Lin Jing directly swallowed the "Haze Void Pill" he had prepared in advance.

Then, with an expressionless look from the Demon Emperor, he asked, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, when we arrive there, should I enter the Western Desert directly as the Demon Court Saint Child, or transform into a monk to retrieve the Golden Light Gu?"

"Nonsense, of course as the Demon Court Saint Child. I told you, once you become the Demon Court Saint Child, there's no need to hide. No one can harm you."

"Since you also have Buddhist cultivation accomplishments, you meet the requirements of the Golden Ray Temple. If they are unreasonable, I will personally speak to the leaders of the Buddhist Sect, then it won't be by the rules but by force! But let me say, if you can't obtain the Golden Light Gu within their rules, it's because your skills aren't as good as those Buddhist Sect geniuses, and I won't stand up for you."

Lin Jing smiled, indicating he understood...

"Additionally, on this journey to the west to retrieve the gold, you can choose any Demon Ancestor from the Demon Court to act as your Guardian during this journey. If you encounter any insignificant nuisances, let them help you dispatch them. Remember, you are now the Demon Court Saint Child, so act arrogantly for me." The Demon Emperor continuously patted the armrest of the seat with small hands.
