Immortal through Beast Taming

"That is, the Ancient Thunder Dragons!"

The many monks of the Demon Extermination Temple also sensed the situation outside the city through their Divine Sense.

They were shocked that someone could have nine Ancient Thunder Dragons pulling their carriage. What is the origin of this person?

As Lin Jing announced his affiliation, the monks' expressions changed again.

Indeed!

They paid no mind to the Beast Taming Sect Saint Heir title, but the name Lin Jing was not unfamiliar to the monks present.

Demon Court, Saint Child!

The monks from the Demon Extermination Temple were on high alert, not understanding why the Demon Court Saint Child would appear here.

The name Lin Jing sent chills even down the spines of these Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation monks, not to mention that some Void Profound Cultivators would likely avoid him.

Even within a generation, there are distinctions. Some geniuses from the sects might be highly valued, yet they might not have powerful sect members intervene on their behalf. Many powerful sect elders remain detached from worldly matters.

However, Lin Jing was different. He represented the hope for the Demon Court's revival. The Demon Emperor was willing to personally eliminate powerful enemies for him, indicating his status. Perhaps only the likes of Prince Gu could compare to Lin Jing in terms of identity.

"Beast Taming Sect..." At this moment, the elderly monk in white was momentarily stunned but soon spoke to calm everyone down.

"No need to worry, Lin Saint Heir comes with no ill intentions this time."

"You all just stay here."

The elderly monk in white looked outside the city, and in the next instant, he appeared in the clouds outside the city, transforming from an old monk into a young monk in white.

He understood the unspoken meaning in Lin Jing's words. Lin Jing came this time not as the Demon Court Saint Child but representing the Beast Taming Sect.

Few people knew that during his travels in the Ancient Country, the abbot of the Demon Extermination Temple had a friendship with the second-generation Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect.

This time, Lin Jing came as the successor of an old friend to visit.

Furthermore, the monk in white also recognized the connection between Lin Jing and himself.

This Saint Child of the Demon Court and Beast Taming Sect had been blessed by his Buddhist light.

The other's Buddhist Cultivation talent was born because of him!

"Senior, 'meeting' again." Lin Jing looked at the young monk, whose image was identical to the monk apparition under the Beast Taming Sect's Demon Suppressing Tower.

"His Highness the Saint Son..." The young monk smiled softly, saying, "I am also surprised that the opportunity sent out by a sliver of the consciousness I left behind reached the Demon Court Saint Child."

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "I must thank the senior's Buddhist light baptism for helping me greatly. As for the Demon Court, that was later in my journey."

"Therefore, I specially came to the Demon Extermination Temple in the Western Desert to visit and thank the senior."

The young monk spoke, "No need for politeness. My Buddhist light only helps people unlock their Buddhist Cultivation talent. Saint Heir's growth to this day is not solely due to my light; it is all thanks to his own talent..."

"This place is not suitable for conversation. Why doesn't the Saint Heir come with me to the temple for a sit-down?" The monk in white invited, and Lin Jing nodded, then looked to the Thunder Dragon Ancestor beside him.

"I'll be right back."

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor nodded and looked briefly at the monk in white. The monk also returned the gaze, sighing internally about how much the Demon Court valued this Saint Child.

...

Shortly, Lin Jing was seated in the tea garden of the Demon Extermination Temple, personally hosted by the temple's abbot.

"What brings the Saint Heir to the Western Desert this time?"

"Could it be, you also come to exterminate demons?" asked the monk in white.

"Sort of," Lin Jing replied. "Lately, there seem to be many demons in the Western Desert. Are there many foreign cultivators here to eliminate demons too?"

"Indeed, with the opening of the Golden Era, countless ancient demons have revived, and the Western Desert is becoming chaotic once more..."

The monk in white thought for a while and said, "Does the Saint Heir know Ling Yue Sword Immortal?"

Lin Jing replied, "Naturally, I do."

"Since the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor ascended to inquiry, Ling Yue Sword Immortal has also become an inquirer. Now, she is one of the most renowned sword cultivator geniuses on the continent. She should also be arriving in the West Desert soon to slay demons and exterminate evil."

"In my youth, I stayed at the Ancient Country Demon Extermination Bureau for a period, so I still have some ties with them. A few days ago, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor sent a message hoping I would look after this disciple for a while."

The monk in white lamented, "According to Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, this Ling Yue Sword Immortal is from the Feng Family of Martial Emperor City. From a young age, she traveled with her parents to the Ancient Country and encountered demons during the journey. Her parents were killed by demons while protecting her escape. Fortunately, she was rescued by an elder from the Celestial Sword Sect who happened to pass by, saving her life."

"This also shaped Ling Yue Sword Immortal's extreme hatred towards demons. So upon hearing of the recent demon unrest in the Western Desert, she is determined to come here."

"For someone like her, who comes to slay demons and exterminate evil, there should be many such geniuses, which is fortunate for the Western Desert."

Lin Jing remained silent, hearing for the first time Ling Yue Sword Immortal's background story. So her parents indeed perished at the hands of demons... No wonder she is so determined to team up with me, using herself as bait, it seems she truly wants to kill more demons.

"Does the Saint Heir also come to exterminate demons due to a special experience?" The monk in white was aware that Lin Jing had been persecuted by the Yin Corpse Sect and thus asked.

"No," Lin Jing directly replied, "I heard that the abbot of Golden Ray Temple is looking for a successor for his Golden Light Gu. I came for this Golden Light Gu."

"With the Buddhist Cultivation talent that the senior activated for me, I might as well consider myself half a person of the Buddhist sects."

"I should meet the conditions to receive the inheritance."

"I heard that now in the Western Desert, demons are rampant. One of the Golden Light Gu's inheritance tests involves slaying demons, so eliminating demons is naturally a stage I must go through after coming to the Western Desert."

The monk in white paused.

"So that's it, the Saint Heir comes for the Golden Light Gu..."

"Though that may be the case, the Heir's current status as Saint Heir of the Demon Court may make it difficult for many in the Buddhist sects to accept."

Lin Jing gave a slight smile, looking at the monk in white.

"That's exactly why I'm here to visit you, isn't it? As one of the Top Ten Void Profound Realm in Buddhist sects, and my half-mentor, why can't I also be considered half a disciple of the Buddhist sects?"

"You're just like your second-generation Sect Leader, a cunning one. Back then, he was like this too." The monk in white was taken aback, then laughed heartily, recalling his experiences in youth.

Back then, his cultivation wasn't high, merely Nascent Soul level, using the unique Buddhist sealing Divine Techniques to help the Great Wilderness seal the Undying Demon, a friendship made then warmly remembered.

The elderly monk in white fell into deep thought.

"Considering this friendship, I will help you, but the Saint Heir must agree, in the inheritance contest, you must not harm the Buddhist sect's geniuses, and at the same time, help the Buddhist sect solve an ancient demon that has revived." The monk in white stated, "What do you say, Saint Heir?"

"The Power of Thunder is indeed the bane of demons." He glanced toward the direction of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor outside the city.

Thinking that if the Thunder Dragon Ancestor acted, it could alleviate some of the Buddhist sects' pressures, moreover, if Lin Jing is determined to obtain the Golden Light Gu, it is better to avoid deadly conflicts... Engage in fair competition to not deplete the strength of the Buddhist sects.

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Certainly, but I heard that the Golden Ray Temple's trials require deep Buddhist Technique mastery, and I currently only know two Buddhist Techniques, could you possibly also teach me a few more Mahayana Buddhist Techniques..."

"Is the Indestructible Golden Body or Tathagata Divine Palm available here?"
