Immortal through Beast Taming

These mosquito beasts, with metallic luster all over their bodies, are composed of countless small metal scales arranged tightly, refracting cold light under the sunlight.

The most striking feature is their pair of gigantic wings, sharp as blood-colored scythes, and their enormous heads, with compound eyes of a ghostly blue and exceptionally developed mouthparts, sharp like needles.

Although each one only has Qi Cultivation, the woman attacked by the mosquito swarm seems as if facing a formidable enemy.

The woman in the white dress plays a bamboo flute, unleashing waves of sound that transform into a deadly aura, scattering around like invisible Sword Qi, leaving the surrounding flowers, grasses, and trees in shambles.

But these mosquito beasts gather together, their shadows of blood blending, allowing the sound waves like Sword Qi to fall upon them, only producing clashing sounds without causing them any harm.

"What kind of monsters are these... even with my Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, I can't penetrate the defense of a swarm of Qi Cultivation demon beasts!" the woman in the white dress looks puzzled.

She continues playing the bamboo flute to fend off the siege.

"Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts are one of the ten fiends of the Cloud Sea Mountain Range and one of the five major trials in this autumn test." the academy master speaks.

"The Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts have a unique bloodline and can never form a Foundation, but they reproduce extremely quickly, often moving in swarms of no less than ten thousand beasts in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range."

"If it were just that, they wouldn't be called one of the ten fiends; these mosquito beasts feed on each other's blood, forming a close connection like a 'formation of an army array,' and when moving collectively, their strength surges."

"Swarms of mosquito beasts are a nightmare for Cloud Sea Cultivators, even a Nascent Soul would not want to face a million of them on the move."

"Fearing that too many mosquito beasts caught would be too much for these talents to handle, we only grabbed a hundredish, but even so, it seems overly dangerous for the average talent on the Tianjiao List..."

In moments, over a hundred Qi Cultivation mosquito beasts push a Tianjiao List's Celestial Sound Pavilion genius into distress, prompting them to immediately toss out a magical treasure, which forms a square barrier to shield themselves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sharp mouthparts of the mosquito beasts continuously collide with the barrier, while the disciple inside the Celestial Sound Pavilion sits like on pins and needles, glancing at the densely packed mosquito beasts encasing the barrier, feeling they underestimated this autumn test.

However, she does not give up, continuing to play the flute within the barrier, trying to disrupt the mosquito beasts' minds, making them kill each other, but these beasts' ferocious instincts are omnipotent and completely unaffected.

With no choice, she resorts to playing the flute again, attempting to lure other demon beasts to divert the mosquitos' attention and lead them away.

However, as she plays, no demon beast is yet attracted, but the Celestial Sound Pavilion genius looks up to find a white-robed young man hovering over the barrier, observing everything below.

As the man appears, the mosquito beasts immediately change their target, swarming towards the young man in unison!

Under the puzzled gaze of the Celestial Sound Pavilion genius, the young man surprisingly smiles.

"Poor Dragon Carp, missing out on such a fresh delicacy its favorite mosquitos!"

"If I take back a pile of dead mosquitos, it'll surely be upset."

"I didn't expect what Gao Sheng sent me to become useful so soon."

The swarm attacks Lin Jing; above the clouds, Mr. Cao narrows his eyes, evidently skeptical that Lin Jing could withstand this mosquito horde, as over a hundred acting together would be challenging even for a Core Formation Cultivator.

But in the next instant, observing from a distance, the Celestial Regret Flower and various academy masters show expressions of astonishment in unison.

Boom!!!

Lin Jing slightly raises his hand, cold True Qi surges from his body, forming eleven layers of an icy snowstorm like a whirlwind, setting Lin Jing's hair wildly dancing, embodying the descent of a demon, radiating an aura of cold.

Subsequently, in the eyes of the academy masters, the Celestial Regret Flower of Celestial Secret Tower, and the disciples of Celestial Sound Pavilion, the ferocious mosquito swarm halts immediately, as if sensing some terrifying presence, and flees instantly!!!

One of the ten fiends of Cloud Sea, turning tail and running!

"Too late." Lin Jing softly utters, knowing he had recognized the identity and danger of these demon beasts, attempting to exert pressure with his "Beast Taming Body" to suppress the swarm. If ineffective, he would let the Pine Leaf Mouse act.

However, the combination of the Beast Taming Body and the Ice Soul Gu's resulting Ice Soul Body pressure proves stronger than Lin Jing anticipated, instantly suppressing the bloodline connection of the Cloud Sea Mosquito Swarm, causing them to scatter like a defeated army.

Swish, swish, swish.

The overwhelming True Qi waveforms into streaks, descending from the sky, forming a massive, tightly sealed birdcage that encloses numerous mosquito beasts...

Following that… the pervasive cold of True Qi freezes each mosquito, and Lin Jing takes out the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, casually throwing it, expanding rapidly over the birdcage, with white ripples appearing within the circle, immediately capturing each frozen, defenseless mosquito into the circle!!!

With ice preserving freshness and carried by the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, Lin Jing aimed to keep these mosquitos as fresh as possible, so the Dragon Carp could enjoy fresh food.

Having done all this, Lin Jing gently lands on the ground, looking towards the Celestial Sound Pavilion disciple within the barrier, wearing a face of disbelief.

"Number ninety-two on the Tianjiao List, Qin Yiran?"

"And you are...?" Qin Yiran's heart is not calm, completely unaware of who Lin Jing is, able to subdue such a terrifying mosquito swarm instantly; she had never heard of such a person in the academy...

"Creator of the Dragon Palace, Lin Jing."

Lin Jing takes a glance at her, then proceeds to walk away, saying, "You should know what to do. The reward for saving you is unnecessary. Just remember to spread my heroic deeds of how I dealt with the Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts."

Qin Yiran: ???

With that said, Lin Jing leaves the place, leaving a bewildered Qin Yiran behind.

"Did he say he's... that Lin Jing from the Beast Taming Sect?"

"How could it be possible, he's actually reached the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation!!!"

In fact, a significant portion of cultivators who make it to the forefront of the Tianjiao List have achieved the ultimate level in the tenth level of Qi Cultivation, though there are several who reach the tenth level, but the eleventh level is extremely rare, truly the ultimate among ultimates.

She's astounded, but even more so are the academy masters...

The hundreds of mosquito beasts painstakingly captured from the Cloud Sea, were... annihilated just like that?

"The eleventh level of Qi Cultivation, when did this Lin Jing step into the eleventh level, in this realm, what fortuitous encounter did he have..." a teacher is shocked. Due to a recent assassination attempt, Lin Jing avoided standing out too much, learning concealment methods from Shen Song, concealing his cultivation level and presence until this intentional exposure revealed his true cultivation to these teachers.

"If it's just the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation, it wouldn't be enough to break the bloodline link of these mosquito beasts, suppressing them immediately. This boy... truly deserves to be a Beast Taming Cultivator, should have ways to restrain demon beasts." the Celestial Regret Flower of Celestial Secret Tower remarks.

"Oh no, that's the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, he seems to have captured the mosquito swarm. The swarm is ineffective against him, but fiercely dangerous for other students. We've put so much effort... only to aid this Lin Jing, granting him the capital to dominate the Cangmang Mountain Range..."
