Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 7: Here for the Gu



"That old monk is really stingy."

After some time, Lin Jing left the Demon Extermination Temple, and outside the city, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor was waiting for Lin Jing's return on the Nine Dragon Vehicle. Seeing Lin Jing muttering, it couldn't help but ask:

"Did His Highness the Saint Son achieve his purpose?"

Lin Jing sighed, "More or less."

After saying this, he extended his hand, and his palm began to fade into a seven-colored Buddhist light.

Instantly, Lin Jing was engulfed by the seven-colored Buddhist light!

In the next moment, he vanished from there like a light shadow and almost simultaneously appeared a thousand meters away.

"This is..." the Thunder Dragon Ancestor exclaimed, "Turning oneself into Buddhist light, possessing teleportation magic akin to the speed of light!!!"

"Judging by its effect, the process of turning the body into Buddhist light should also be immune to purely non-mana-related injuries!"

It spoke in shock, "No wonder His Highness the Saint Son said that monk was stingy. Once one masters Space Power, who would use such magic? We the Thunder Dragon Race also have similar magic that can transform the body into lightning, which is even better in effect! Does His Highness want to learn?"

Lin Jing returned to the flying boat, "No need, I can transform into lightning using the power of the Thunder Tribulation Gu. This Buddhist light technique was created by Elder Wu Mo himself at the Demon Extermination Temple and was passed to me just to give me an identity."

"However, compared to this magic, I more want to learn the Buddhist Sect's Indestructible Golden Body. Unfortunately, such a supreme Buddhist technique is never taught to outsiders of the sect, and even Elder Wu Mo wouldn't teach me the lower secret technique, the Indestructible Diamond Body."

"The face of the second-generation Sect Leader doesn't help much..."

"Indeed stingy," the Thunder Dragon Ancestor nodded, "Your Highness needn't mind. These techniques are not necessary to learn. With our Thunder Dragon Race's scale blood body tempering, Your Highness's physical strength will be no less than those Buddhist Body Cultivators."

Moreover... Lin Jing also possesses the Thunder Tribulation Gu, and the Thunder Dragon Ancestor can't imagine how strong Lin Jing's physical strength will be. Perhaps even stronger than the Thunder Dragon Race.

"Indeed, but the scale blood the Thunder Dragon Race gave me earlier was mostly taken by Senior Sister Saintess, and it's far from enough." Lin Jing sighed.

"What's the big deal." The Thunder Dragon Ancestor eagerly said, "It's just scale blood. Whatever His Highness needs, old man here has plenty, no need to be polite."

The elder now caters to Lin Jing in every way, all for the Thunder Dragon Race to become the Demon Court's top clan.

There's only one His Majesty the Demon Emperor, not a clan.

"Then I won't be polite. From Golden Core to Divinity Transformation, I'll rely on the elder for the body-tempering scale blood." Lin Jing nodded.

The driver of the Nine Dragon Vehicle froze, muttering, "Saint Son, you could actually be a little polite. I'm an old man, where would I get so much scale blood..."

"Can I use the clan leader's and the crown prince's?"

......

The Nine Dragons pulling the vehicle continued their journey, and Lin Jing, who acquired the Buddhist light technique, headed towards his destination, the Golden Ray Temple.

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor served as the driver, the Thunder Dragons flying through the void. Presently, the Golden Ray Temple is undoubtedly the bustling hub of the Western Desert, with Buddhist cultivator prodigies from the eighty-one cities of the Western Desert, along with those from Ancient Country, Qingzhou, and Martial Emperor City, coming from afar to worship Buddha.

The ten legendary Gus of the Gu God Sect are known to all, and if one could gain the recognition of the Immortal Monk, the abbot of Golden Ray Temple, it would undoubtedly lead to meteoric success.

Additionally, the resurgence of demons in the Western Desert is also a reason for local Buddhist cultivators to return.

Moreover, not only Buddhist disciples but, as Master Wumo, the abbot of the Demon Extermination Temple mentioned, plenty of non-Buddhist cultivators have come to slay demons, many of whom are prodigies seeking fortune from the Destiny Gold List to enhance their fortune!

Golden Bell City, where Golden Ray Temple is located.

Just like Lin Jing's first visit to Demon-Vanquishing City, as the spatial passage opened, nine Thunder Dragons pulling the flying boat appeared, instantly capturing the entire city's attention.

Inside the city, whether they were Buddhist cultivators or gold-listed prodigies seeking fortune competition, they were stunned by this flashy way of travel.

"Who is that?"

"So arrogant, this is a significant Buddhist site, aren't they afraid of being driven out by Golden Ray Temple?"

"Indeed... wait, wait!" Suddenly someone noticed the figure standing atop the flying boat, a cold sweat streaming down their forehead.

"That person looks familiar, could it be..."

Many recognized Lin Jing's face, and those who previously thought he was too arrogant immediately shut their mouths, afraid this demon would target them.

Boom!!!

With Lin Jing's arrival, a golden radiance shot skyward within Golden Ray Temple, followed by a Golden Body Arhat standing atop the clouds, gazing at Lin Jing at the front of the flying boat.

"Demon Court Saint Child, stop." He called out, and Lin Jing did not proceed.

The Golden Body Arhat's expression was stern, seeming as though if Lin Jing advances even a step further, he would take action.

After all, the current state of the abbot is in terrible condition, this being the weakest moment for Golden Ray Temple.

"No need to be tense."

"I heard that Elder Immortal Monk from Golden Ray Temple intends to find a host for the Golden Light Gu, so I came to give it a try." Lin Jing smiled slightly, his words immediately causing the observing cultivators to quiet down.

Demon Court Saint Child... has come for the legendary Gu!

It makes sense, if there's anything at Golden Ray Temple that might attract this Demon Court Saint Child, it would only be the legendary Gu.

Rumor has it that the Demon Court Saint Child possessed another legendary Gu, the Ice Soul Gu, and now has intentions for the Golden Light Gu, which isn't impossible.

"Absurd." The Golden Body Arhat frowned, "There's no way the abbot would pass the Golden Light Gu to someone from the Demon Court."

"Please return, you do not meet the conditions to inherit the Golden Light Gu!"

Could there be a fight...?

In Golden Bell City, many external prodigies were terrified, for the Demon Court Saint Child was not someone to be trifled with, and it seemed Golden Ray Temple was not welcoming him, possibly leading to the Demon Court forcefully seizing the Golden Light Gu!!

"Let's go." Many visiting cultivators turned and left, planning to immediately leave the city, not wanting to be caught in a battle.

Some cultivators couldn't resist staying put to see how things would unfold, their spirit of watching the drama ablaze.

"Oh? But I heard that as long as someone is a Buddhist cultivator, they can accept the inheritance trial."

"The Buddhist Sect claims all Buddhist cultivators under heaven are part of the Buddhist Sect, spreading teachings everywhere. Wouldn't it break tradition if you refused this saint here?"

"I've repeatedly demonstrated Buddhist cultivation techniques in the Ancient Country, certainly no secret. My talent in Buddhist cultivation was uncovered by Master Wumo during my trial in the Ancient Country, making me somewhat part of the Demon Extermination Temple, thus meeting the standard."

With a slight smile, Lin Jing continued, "Moreover, I have rich experience in handling legendary Gu. It being entrusted to me would better ensure it won't later become a disaster to the world."

The Golden Body Arhat maintained a stern face, seeing that Lin Jing insisted on obtaining the Golden Light Gu, finding it difficult to directly engage in conflict.

"You..."

After all, Lin Jing's point is valid. When the Buddhist Sect was still weak, to grow stronger and spread teachings, it promoted the idea that all Buddhist cultivators were part of the Buddhist Sect, considering anyone practicing Buddhist Technique as a disciple, without needing to join the monastery in the Western Desert.

Through broad outreach and planting seeds of teachings everywhere, they gradually became stronger, but rejecting now would appear as if the Buddhist Sect couldn't hold their ground.

Moreover... Master Wumo...

One of the nine core disciples of the Buddhist Sect, the Golden Body Arhat pondered. This Demon Court Saint Child's talent in Buddhist cultivation was unexpectedly unearthed by Master Wumo?

"Alright, but mere words are unconvincing. Rumors are just rumors. If the Saint Son can defeat one of our Buddhist sect's same-realm prodigies solely with Buddhist Technique, that would prove the truth of his words!"

"Your Highness the Saint Son, what do you think?"
