Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 282: Storm

There is still some time before the Alchemy Gathering. Before the gathering begins, the Tower of Babel will prepare an Alchemy Pavilion for qualified alchemists to use in preparation for the competition.

After Lin Jing registered for the competition, he naturally obtained his own Dan Pavilion.

However, to avoid being disturbed, he did not choose to stay there, but instead transformed and left to wait for the alchemy gathering to begin.

This registration process allowed the news of Lin Jing's appearance to spread throughout Tongtian City at an absurdly rapid pace...

…………

Meanwhile, on Rai Island.

After Prince Leilong pulled Princess Leilong back, he was then pulled back here by the ancestor of the Leilong clan from a distance.

After the Thunder Dragon Clan Chief used lightning to melt the frost on the Thunder Dragon Princess's body, the Thunder Dragon Princess regained her senses.

"As expected of the Holy Son..." The Thunder Dragon Clan Chief remained silent. He knew that the Thunder Dragon Princess's talent was extremely rare within the Thunder Dragon Clan, yet such talent had been suppressed in an instant...

With such talent, it's no wonder he was able to create a method of transformation and gain the Demon Emperor's approval.

"What exactly happened..." At this moment, the Thunder Dragon Prince was even more silent. He looked at the Third Holy Maiden next to the Thunder Dragon Clan Chief and the Mosquito Girl who seemed to be a demon, and was greatly shocked.

Princess Thunder Dragon uttered a soft "Hmm," waking up and looking around with the same bewildered and confused expression.

"Father, Father Emperor? This is..." Its memory was still stuck on when it was frozen in the forest.

“I actually lost… that power was…” It was filled with deep fear.

"The one who defeated you was the Longevity Realm cultivator who previously wreaked havoc on the Heavenly Lion Clan, and the number one Foundation Establishment prodigy of the ancient kingdom," the Thunder Dragon Clan Chief slowly said.

"It was him?!" Princess Thunder Dragon was stunned. No wonder...

As the little princess of the Thunder Dragon Clan, she naturally knew that the ancient kingdom was the center of the Tianyuan Continent, and the geniuses there were naturally the strongest.

"However, the other party now has another identity: the Holy Son of the Demon Court, appointed by the Demon Emperor! His Highness the Holy Son has researched the method of transformation, and his visit to you this time is to invite you to test the pills for the method of transformation."

"His Highness knows that you are warlike by nature. If I don't defeat you in battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you. So, you've probably already witnessed the strength of His Highness the Holy Son. After that, you should just follow the Holy Son and obey his orders."

"In order to take human form..."

"This is also what our ancestor meant."

Princess Thunder Dragon slightly opened her mouth, her gaze falling on the Third Holy Maiden and the Mosquito Girl, especially the Mosquito Girl...

"The method of transformation? Is such a thing really possible?" Although the Demon Court has always pursued the revival of the demon race, for a new generation of Demon Court prodigies like Princess Thunder Dragon, the revival of the demon race is actually a very abstract concept.

The great revival of the demon race, in the eyes of these young demon court prodigies, is more like a wishful thinking.

Princess Leilong never expected that she would encounter this matter.

"Holy Son... Holy Son..." After a moment, Princess Leilong's heart suddenly raced, and she suddenly felt an immense curiosity about Lin Jing.

Powerful, mysterious, and of noble birth, he was born into an ancient kingdom but became the Holy Son of the Demon Court. What kind of person is he?

...Soon afterward, the news of Lin Jing's appearance had spread throughout Tongtian Dao and was spreading to the entire Qingzhou!
Cultivators from all over are discussing this matter.

"Have you heard? Princess Leilong, who came to Qingzhou to challenge everyone, finally challenged Lotus City, where ancient cultivators gather! Guess what? The Longevity Body Forest Realm cultivator who caused havoc in the Heavenly Lion Clan is also in Lotus City!"

"He merged with that Ice Soul Gu, and with just a slight move, he repelled the arrogant Thunder Dragon Princess. He was ridiculously strong, no wonder he was ranked number one on the list of geniuses of the ancient kingdom."

"Wait a minute? The Longevity Manifestation has appeared? Where is he now? Is he still in Lotus City?"

"No, he then went to the Tower of Babel and signed up for the Pill Gathering, which many people saw."

"How dare he?!"

"Tongtian City will be perfectly safe during the Pill Gathering; nothing should happen."

"Do you remember the other immortal being? It seems to be Gu Qianqiu, the Heavenly Lion Saintess. She forcibly increased her power using a secret method and fell seriously ill. Only one reward from this Pill Gathering can alleviate her condition, so Lin Jing had no choice but to come here to seek a glimmer of hope for her."

"After all, it is said that Lin Jing was a genius alchemist in the ancient kingdom, so it is entirely possible that he will receive a reward. As long as Gu Qianqiu recovers, his safety will be guaranteed again."

"I see……"

A passing rogue cultivator interrupted their discussion about Lin Jing: "I heard that Lin Jing wants to become a disciple of the Tower Master of Tongtian and seek protection, so he came to this Pill Gathering to display his talent in alchemy and hope to attract attention."

"It seems so. Lin Jing has created a special longevity pill using his own immortal flesh and blood. Even humans can use it. He has a high chance of winning first place in this Pill Gathering. You know, there are precedents of the first place winner of the Pill Gathering becoming a disciple of the Tower of Heaven's Pill Dao."

"Although he is only a nominal disciple, the Tower Master of Tongtian is still a Dao Inquiry stage expert. As long as you become his nominal disciple, your fate will be rewritten!"

"The Master of the Tower of Babel is a pill fanatic. As long as someone's pills pique his interest, they may become his disciple. There probably hasn't been a Longevity Body Pill Master yet, right? In contrast, the second-generation ancient emperor of the ancient kingdom places great importance on bloodlines and only cultivates the descendants of the ancient clan. I've never heard of him taking on disciples. If I were a Longevity Body Pill Master, I would definitely choose to abandon the ancient kingdom and cling to the Tower of Babel."

"That can't be right," another passing cultivator said. "I heard that Lin Jing is just using the Tower of Heaven's protection for alchemists during the Pill Gathering to buy time! It's said that he's been targeted by several Void Profound Demon Ancestors, and has no choice but to flee to the Tower of Heaven. He's using the Pill Gathering to avoid danger, and then using this time to ask the Ancient Kingdom for help, hoping they'll send more powerful experts to protect him..."

Lin Jing spread more than a dozen rumors.

These rumors were all very newsworthy, and they easily spread the news of Lin Jing's appearance far and wide.

The Hidden Realm of Corpses.

Nine-Headed Demon Lord had previously gone out to search for Qilin Realm, but unexpectedly, the vice dean of the academy also came to Qingzhou. The two sides encountered each other unexpectedly and fought fiercely. Nine-Headed Demon Lord had no choice but to return to his lair to avoid powerful enemies.

"The Longevity Body went to the Pill Gathering?" Upon receiving news from Lin Jing again, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord immediately sent a message to his allies in the Gu God Sect, knowing that the Yin Corpse Sect alone would not be enough to capture the Longevity Body under the protection of the Academy Dean.

"They've finally reappeared." The one sent to Qingzhou by the Gu God Sect was Elder Lei Dian, one of the two elders of the Wind and Thunder Sects, whose body was parasitized by the Thunder Tribulation Gu. He chuckled upon receiving the message from the Nine-Headed Demon Lord…

"I came here only for the Ice Soul Gu, not for the body of immortality. I believe I can most easily succeed among these demons who are fighting for the body of immortality..."

After receiving the news, the Celestial Lion Ancestor worried that he, as a single demon, could not devour this huge piece of meat, so he contacted his sworn brothers...

"Haven't you always coveted the immortal flesh and blood of my clan? Now the opportunity has come. You will lend me a hand... This ancient kingdom's immortal body will be divided among you. I only seek revenge, and I only want what belongs to my clan... Heavenly Lion Saintess!!"

As the rumors spread in Lin Jing spread, not only those forces that had previously coveted him, but even some forces that were unrelated to him were attracted by the rumors and wanted to get involved in this mess.

"You're saying this Longevity Body somehow used its own flesh and blood to refine a Longevity Pill that humans could consume???" Many old monsters nearing their end also emerged from seclusion upon hearing the news, their gazes lingering on the direction of the Tower of Babel: "Yes, if this Longevity Body could also be consumed by humans, how wonderful that would be..."
