Immortal through Beast Taming

This kid Gao Sheng, really has a big appetite, investigating whether the Celestial Demon Sect Leader is an Outer Celestial Demon or an Outer World Cultivator?

This isn't about going after the Celestial Demon Sect Leader, it's clearly about going after his head.

Whether the Celestial Demon Sect is run by cultivators from the Celestial Essence Continent, Lin Jing doesn't know, but he's definitely not...

In the end, don't get caught up in the investigation and end up getting yourself in trouble.

"We'll talk about this later," Lin Jing brushed off Gao Sheng.

"You're not scared, are you?" Gao Sheng elbowed Lin Jing, confidently transmitting his voice.

"With my wisdom and luck..."

Gao Sheng was becoming more confident in his investigative abilities because, during Foundation Establishment, he cultivated a Spiritual Luck Body using a family secret technique.

The Spiritual Luck Body, as the name suggests, makes one more fortunate.

"Get lost." Lin Jing kicked Gao Sheng back into the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool.

"Think about it again. If it doesn't work out, we can switch cases!" Gao Sheng was relentless.

At this moment, Elder Shen Song transmitted his voice, "After the autumn hunt, you'll head to the Azure Domain."

Lin Jing: ???

Lin Jing's mouth twitched, "Elder Shen Song, have you been possessed by Gao Sheng?"

"The Celestial Demon Sect Leader must be an esteemed Dao Seeking powerhouse, how can we, mere Foundation Establishment cultivators, uncover his secrets?"

"If it were a case like Snow Moon City, where you could fish with Longevity Blood, that would be one thing..."

"Pfft," Elder Shen Song transmitted his voice, "I was talking about something else."

"Next, you should consider nurturing the Ice Soul Gu."

"After the Foundation Establishment of the Pine Leaf Mouse, it'll be the Ice Soul Gu's turn!"

"With its bloodline and aptitude, you don't need to prepare any additional treasures to enhance its lineage, nor will you find them. However, the Ice Soul Gu is an embodiment of ice and snow, and to allow it to achieve perfect Foundation Establishment, you should choose a land rich in icy and snowy power, an extreme cold place."

"The Wilderness Domain and Azure Domain are adjacent to the 'Snowfield'. If you wish to find an excellent cold attribute place, you need to go to these two domains."

"Fortunately, I know of an extreme cold place in the Azure Domain, suitable as the Foundation Establishment site for the Ice Soul Gu. I will accompany you there."

Lin Jing nodded.

"I see."

Then, Lin Jing inquired cautiously, "Elder Shen Song, is the Celestial Demon Sect Leader really from another world?"

Pine Nut pondered for a moment, "The Celestial Demon Sect ruins that kid mentioned, I know of them too."

"In the Celestial Demon Sect ruins, a powerful figure from an ancient country set up a special temporal spatial array, allowing low-level cultivators to dream back to ancient times and explore the Celestial Demon Sect."

"That Divinity Transformation grandson probably intends to investigate it in this way."

"Since it's worth the ancient country going to such lengths to establish a temporal spatial array, it suggests that the Celestial Demon Sect Leader might not be a cultivator from the Celestial Essence Continent."

"It's said that beneath the Immortal Realm, there are numerous Cultivation Realms, of which the Celestial Essence Continent is one. The ultimate goal for cultivators from every Cultivation World is to ascend to the Immortal Realm and become immortal immortals."

"Due to special reasons, our Celestial Essence Continent's ascension pathway has been interrupted. Hence, it's understandable why some are so eager to explore the Celestial Demon Sect Leader's secrets."

"After all, just because our Celestial Essence Continent's ascension pathway is broken, doesn't mean other Cultivation World's ascension pathways are too."

"If the Celestial Demon Sect Leader indeed came from another Cultivation Realm, then it means Celestial Essence cultivators could journey to other Cultivation Realms to ascend!"

"Perhaps the primary target of the ancient country's annihilation of the Celestial Demon Sect was to learn the method of crossing realms."

"Of course, all this is just my guess. After all, when the Celestial Demon Sect was annihilated, I had not yet gained sentience. The waters run deep with many secrets. Even if you uncover everything, it bears little relevance to you as a Qi Cultivation Junior Cultivator. Let Gao Sheng amuse himself."

Lin Jing understood and decided to let Gao Sheng amuse himself; he had no interest in ascension.

...

The autumn hunt lasted for a month.

During this month, the Dragon Palace elders didn't leave the Blood Pool but continued their diligent cultivation.

As the Blood Pool's effects diminished, they weren't unwilling to explore, but rather afraid to move.

The Pine Leaf Mouse seized a bunch of treasures, observed by all.

Those robbed by Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse found themselves powerless to retaliate, but certainly not against their peers?

Soaking in the Blood Pool wasn't a bad deal, so they confined themselves to it for a month, cultivating tirelessly within.

Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse remained alongside the rest, never venturing from their spot.

In this period, the Dragon Transformation Blood Pool almost dried up, replaced by Lin Jing's harvest of a vast number of mosquito eggs, several thousand in total.

He continuously hatched the larvae while probing the limits of the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, dedicating himself to these tasks.

As for the Pine Leaf Mouse, it busied itself inside its gourd with its sole official acquisition on this trip!

It absorbed the life force of the Rank Four ferocious plant, "Weeping Guanyin," cultivating the Cyan Emperor's Longevity Technique!

Until the autumn hunt ended, when beams of light descended from the sky, returning the student participants back to the Hidden Dragon Academy.

At the academy, upon the Transfer Mountain, figures began reappearing from the original site. Compared to when they departed for the Cangmang Mountain Range, many looked much more haggard.

Only the Dragon Palace members appeared spirited, having encountered little adversity yet gaining significant opportunities that greatly enhanced their strength.

The seniors who initially overlooked this emerging organization now bore unsightly expressions, particularly when looking in Lin Jing's direction, their eyes almost burning with resentment.

Most had their items seized... and lacked the strength to reclaim them.

"Heh." Sensing the hostile gazes, Lin Jing chuckled lightly, "Don't look at me like that. My pet beast was merely playing a joke. We are peers, after all, and I'll return your magical treasures."

"Really?! Is my Dao companion preserved?" A young male cultivator with a crew cut asked joyfully.

This person was a disciple of the Divine Observation Sect, specializing in the path of visualization. Lin Jing went silent, seemingly recognizing whose celestial painting it was.

Only those on the path of visualization could vividly recreate an image within their mind.

"Naturally." Lin Jing waved his hand grandly, and many geniuses began to appear more amicable.

Of course, some geniuses remained indifferent after being robbed and simply turned away.

"Brother Xu, it's all yours now."

"Whichever peer wishes to redeem their magical treasure, handle it," Lin Jing patted Xu Zhizhi's shoulder, then transformed into a long rainbow and flew away. After a month apart, he wondered if his dragon carp was well or lonely.

"What? Redeem? We need to redeem our own items?" As Lin Jing departed, the scene erupted, and Xu Zhizhi wiped his sweat.

"I've joined the Dragon Palace too, can I get my magical treasures back? Both my magical treasures and Spirit Stones got taken. I avoided Demon Beasts the entire autumn hunt; how do I have resources for redemption!!!"

The instructors who remained at the academy, having not gone to the Cangmang Mountain Range, were utterly bewildered by the chaos unraveling.

"Heh..." Meanwhile, the instructors who had followed back from the Cangmang Mountain Range remained composed, aware that soon, Lin Jing's name would be updated on the Heavenly Pride list and become renowned throughout the ancient country.
