Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 8: Oppression



"After all, even true disciples of Buddhism, if they do not possess extraordinary Buddhist cultivation, will not be allowed to participate in the inheritance trials. Naturally, this is also for the safety of the inheritor. The power of the Golden Light Gu is overwhelmingly formidable; without sufficient Buddhist force, it is absolutely impossible to control it. Although His Highness the Saint Son successfully controlled the Ice Soul Gu, managing two such remarkable Gu simultaneously might not be feasible."

Golden Body Arhat took a step back, planning to persuade this Demon Court Saint Child to withdraw within the rules.

This Demon Court Saint Child's strength goes without saying. He was once the foremost Foundation Establishment prodigy of the Ancient Country and now seems to have successfully achieved Core Formation, possessing both Treasure Beast and remarkable Gu; his power is undoubtedly awe-inspiring.

However, if the combat rules are restricted to only allowing the use of Buddhist Techniques, Golden Body Arhat believes that Lin Jing absolutely cannot defeat the Buddhist prodigies of the same realm...

"Alright." Lin Jing spoke: "So, which Buddhist disciple does Your Excellency plan to appoint as my opponent?"

Before Golden Body Arhat could speak, a voice resounded within Golden Bell City.

"How about I be your opponent?"

In a certain place, a handsome monk dressed in a grey robe was gnawing on a demon's leg, gazing at the sky and speaking: "Master Six Wisdom, may I represent Buddhism in sparring with His Highness the Saint Son? Incidentally, I am also here for the Golden Light Gu."

"Qin Siyuan!!!"

Countless Divine Senses descended.

This little monk, although only at Great Perfection of the Golden Core, is... known by almost everyone.

He is one of the few Golden Core Cultivators on the Fortune Gold List!

Ranked 99th on the Fortune Gold List, at the Golden Core Stage, he defeated a Golden List prodigy in the Early-Stage Nascent Soul.

This little monk could be considered a late bloomer in Buddhism; he was originally a prodigy in the City Lord's Mansion of Martial Emperor City, connected by family ties. For prodigies like him, regardless of gender, the primary mission is to marry into other great powers, and Qin Siyuan was no exception. His family arranged a marriage for him that he found utterly unsatisfactory.

To avoid this marriage, he tried every means, ultimately choosing to join Buddhism. Unexpectedly, his Buddhist cultivation talent was exceptional, his strength progressed rapidly, and soon he was taken as a disciple by a Void Profound Buddhist Cultivator, becoming one of the most dazzling prodigies in Buddhism today.

"Hmm?" Seeing this still in Golden Bell City, Arhat fell into contemplation.

Initially, he thought calling a Golden Core stage genius from Golden Ray Temple to fight would suffice, but he did not expect this fellow to want to make a move.

If Qin Siyuan takes action, it would certainly be too oppressive for this Demon Court Saint Child.

However, in this way, it became more foolproof.

Completely eliminating any chance for Lin Jing to win.

"What does His Highness the Saint Son think?" Arhat looked at Lin Jing, leaving the choice to him.

"Fortune Gold List, huh..." Lin Jing pondered, defeating this person would mean he could ascend the Fortune Gold List?

Indeed...

Lin Jing spoke calmly: "Let it be him."

After finishing, his entire body transformed into a ray of Buddhist light and instantly teleported to the ground in the form of light particles, leaving Golden Body Arhat momentarily stunned. Could it be that this Demon Court Saint Child not only had his Buddhist cultivation talent awakened by the early inheritance of Master Wumo but had even learned Master Wumo's unique magic?

Even so...Golden Body Arhat maintained a serious expression, hoping the Golden Light Gu wouldn't end up in the hands of the Demon Court Saint Child.

"It appears he's quite capable indeed." Lin Jing's Buddhist light technique earned Qin Siyuan's recognition. He tossed aside the demon's leg, stepping through the air, the confrontation between the two instantly causing a stir in Golden Bell City as the Demon Court Saint Child prepared to duel with the Buddhist prodigy, a rarely seen spectacle.

"Do you know the Indestructible Body?"

Before the fight began, Lin Jing inquired with his hands behind his back.

"Naturally." Qin Siyuan replied calmly.

"And the Indestructible Golden Body?"

"I have mastered it, too."

"As expected of a Buddhist prodigy." Lin Jing nodded in acknowledgment. After all, he had heard that the Indestructible Golden Body was extremely difficult to cultivate and rare among Nascent Soul stage Buddhist cultivators.

This technique requires stringent demands on the body, not only in strength but also in control over the physique.

"May I witness it, Saint?" Lin Jing made a request.

Qin Siyuan remained silent, yet his appearance already transformed as if clad in golden armor, turning into a golden, indestructible body. Many Nascent Soul Cultivators hadn't even reacted as Qin Siyuan transformed into a ray of golden light, descending before Lin Jing.

At this moment, his stature was immensely tall, already twice as tall as an average person.

The golden fist blocked Lin Jing's sight, pounding heavily toward him, using action to respond to Lin Jing's request.

Bam!!!

All that was heard was a bam, as Qin Siyuan's fist successfully landed on Lin Jing, and subsequently, the protective True Essence around Lin Jing exploded like water hit by a meteor, splashing spectacularly. His body, propelled like a cannonball, slammed against the city wall, collapsing it.

"Such formidable strength." Many Buddhist cultivators were shocked, observing Qin Siyuan. They thought to themselves, how deserving of his place on the Fortune Gold List as a Buddhist prodigy to punch through the protective True Essence of the Demon Court Saint Child and send him flying!

Yet at this moment, Qin Siyuan slightly furrowed his brow, examining his fist...the surface of the golden body on the fist actually...showed minute cracks.

Indestructible Body...broken!

While the opponent seemed to not have taken any action at all, merely using protective True Essence and physique power...had borne the brunt of his attack.

The opponent's other techniques were forbidden, which was normal, but he hadn't even used Buddhist Techniques. At this moment, Qin Siyuan had an ominous premonition, sensing that this battle might be grueling.

"Not bad, your physique power is almost comparable to an ordinary thunder dragon." Simultaneously, a relaxed voice emerged from the ruin of the city wall.

A figure brushed off the dust on his body, stepping out of the smoke, aside from some damage to his clothing, otherwise appearing wholly unharmed.

This scene caused Arhat and Qin Siyuan's pupils to constrict.

"What kind of joke is this, unharmed?" The observing Buddhist cultivators were baffled.

Golden Body Arhat couldn't comprehend it either, glancing at the dragons: Even if Lin Jing had dragon scale blood forging his body, his physique power shouldn't be able to withstand the golden body. How long had he been in the Demon Court?

The situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The physique of this Demon Court Saint Child was absurdly formidable, such a powerful physique that even using the most rudimentary Buddhist Techniques, the destructive power would be unimaginable!

What he didn't know was that Lin Jing had undergone not just dragon blood forging; trapped within the sands of time, he was struck by lightning and forged by fire for ten years, not ordinary lightning nor ordinary fire, all for an invincible physique!

With the sands of time, Lin Jing lacked nothing but time.

Plus, with the foundation of thirteen layers of Qi Cultivation, under the same realm, the physiques of Crown Prince Leilong and the Princess are not necessarily stronger than Lin Jing's.

And Lin Jing's next words cast an even darker shadow over the Buddhist prodigy's face.

"Through sensing with the physique, if I'm attacked by the golden body three hundred and seven more times, I think there's hope to deduce and comprehend the 'Indestructible Golden Body'. The question is whether your mana can sustain that many attacks..."

"Shall we see, whether you'll first knock me down using the golden body, or I'll first comprehend the golden body from you...this Saint Son has quite the high Buddhist propensity."

"However, your physique power isn't strong; this golden body is probably not your ace. It seems like you have a demon sealed with Buddhist Techniques within your body, or perhaps you're directly using its power?"

Monster...At this moment, even cultivators who hadn't fought with Lin Jing couldn't help but sweat coldly, feeling the oppressive might of this so-called Demon Court Saint Child.
