Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 284 Heavenly Demon Scroll

"A demon, His Majesty the Demon Emperor?!"

Looking at this "demon girl," Xu Qingyao opened her mouth slightly and spoke in disbelief.

Although she was very unwilling to believe it, the aura emanating from the other party forced Xu Qingyao to accept it.

This chubby-faced girl in the dragon robe is none other than the Demon Emperor who rules the Demon Court!
She... is my future master!

"You...you've transformed into human form?!"

Xu Qingyao instantly understood why she hadn't been able to contact the Demon Emperor for a while.

"Well, I found a way to cultivate that third-tier Transformation Grass to a near-immortal grade, to the point where it could have an effect on me. After calculating and confirming that it could help me survive the Transformation Tribulation, I consumed it directly." The Demon Emperor spoke indifferently, as if it were nothing to mention.

She looked at the stunned Lin Jing and said, "However, I only have one portion of the resources to improve the quality of the Transformation Grass, so we will still have to rely on your Transformation Pills to create more demons."

“Yes…” Lin Jing took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, are you in a condition... fit to fight the enemy?" he asked.

Because the Demon Emperor's transformation into human form, by any measure, was not a success.

"No need to worry, it's just that it cultivated the demonic techniques of the Divine Tiger Clan, gaining greater potential and thus transforming into this form. In other words, compared to its previous demonic beast form, this form possesses even greater potential for growth..."

"Just like how a human's strength increases dramatically as they grow from cubs to adults."

The Demon Emperor said dismissively, "So you can go to the Pill Gathering with peace of mind. Even if the Gu God of the Gu God Sect and the Corpse Emperor of the Yin Corpse Sect are attracted by you, I can still make them lose a piece of flesh."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Jing was relieved to receive the Demon Emperor's promise. However, was it really not because he was too eager to transform into human form that caused the problem...? Lin Jing dared not ask.

Then, the Demon Emperor tossed out a scroll: "Refine it. You should be familiar with this."

"It also comes from the Heavenly Demon Sect and is called the Heavenly Demon Scroll."

"After refining, any life within a certain range that has strong killing intent, hostility, or malice towards you will have its primordial spirit image appear on the scroll. If you personally kill the life on this image, your divine sense power will be enhanced."

"Until you can use your divine sense, just like this Heavenly Demon Scroll, to perceive whether the life around you has any murderous intent, hostility, or malice towards you. No matter how well the other party hides, they cannot escape your divine sense."

"For someone with an immortal body like you, this treasure should be of great use."

Lin Jing was taken aback and carefully put away the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

"At that time, I will use the mark on the Heavenly Demon Scroll to kill all those who harbor ill will towards you inside and outside Tongtian City. No... to be precise, I will leave them alive so that you can kill them yourself and cultivate your divine sense."

"Since you said that all the spoils of war would belong to you, then their lives are naturally part of the spoils as well."

"Prepare well."

The Demon Emperor slowly walked into the void, and then, in a desolate place, he spoke to himself.

"As long as this immortal body cultivates the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique, he should understand that compared to the Ancient Emperor, I am the wise ruler he should follow the most."

After all, she herself had cultivated this technique and could clearly sense the mind of Lin Jing, this immortal being.

This person harbored no hostility toward demons or the demon race, and was not a racist. On the contrary, seeing himself transformed into a demon was more of a novelty.

Most human cultivators believe that those who are not of their race will inevitably have different intentions. However, Lin Jing, perhaps because he comes from the Beast Taming Sect, is different from most ancient kingdom cultivators.

This made the Demon Emperor realize that as long as the Demon Court treated this immortal being sincerely, this immortal being would not be alienated from the Demon Court because of the difference in race.

Since that's the case, there's no need to treat Lin Jing as an outsider just because of his race. As long as we continue to cultivate Lin Jing, this human, as the successor of the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor is confident that he can bind Lin Jing's heart to the Demon Court and make him willingly work for the Demon Court.

Unless the Ancient Emperor marries the princess of the Ancient Kingdom to Lin Jing and takes Lin Jing as his disciple, the Demon Emperor cannot think of any reason for Lin Jing to return to the Ancient Kingdom instead of staying in the Demon Court... Moreover, the Ancient Emperor would never do that, after all, compared to his value to the Demon Court, Lin Jing's value to the Ancient Kingdom is much smaller.

"I feel that I have become smarter after transforming into human form..." The Demon Emperor licked his paws, ready to go on a killing spree and experiment with this demon body.

…………

A few days later.

The Dan Conference... is about to begin.

The venue for the Alchemy Gathering is located in a vast alchemy area in Tongtian City, where hundreds of scattered alchemy platforms are provided for the participating alchemists.

At that time, every alchemist participating in the alchemy gathering will need to refine pills together with everyone at their designated alchemy platform!
Ultimately, the value of the elixir is assessed by the Dan Sect based on the order in which the elixir was formed.

This situation is extremely challenging for alchemists, as changes in ambient temperature, spiritual energy, and even the aroma of the pills can affect the alchemy of others.

However, as long as it is not intentional interference with others, all changes caused by normal alchemy are within the rules!
Although the evaluation criteria for the alchemy competition is the effect of the pills, if someone's alchemy is affected by external factors, even if the opponent prepares the most miraculous new pills, the Tower of Babel will only allow them to practice their techniques until they return for the next competition, as it will be considered that their basic skills are not solid.

"An immortal being, then."

"I haven't seen it yet."

At this moment, the alchemy grounds were filled with alchemists, but the many spectators were only focused on Lin Jing's whereabouts.

"Here he comes!" Finally, after a short while, Lin Jing appeared. However, few people could tell where he came from until Lin Jing, dressed in the Fire Cloud Pill Robe, approached his alchemy platform, and the surrounding area began to stir.

"This immortal body is really good at hiding. From now on, we must keep an eye on him." Countless Void Profound Realm experts were also hidden in the void. The Thunder Elder of the Gu God Sect stared at the alchemy site the whole time, but he still couldn't find where Lin Jing came from.

"Nine Infants, your divine sense is stronger, lock onto him!"

"Hold on—" The ancestor of the Heavenly Lion was also in Tongtian City at this moment, secretly watching the alchemy grounds. Although it really wanted to capture Lin Jing on the spot, these demon ancestors who entered Tongtian City had already been warned by the Tongtian Tower when they approached Tongtian City. So, naturally, they dared not cause trouble at the alchemy gathering under the warning of the Tongtian Tower, and make enemies for themselves for no reason.

Many people... understand very well that the real battle will only begin after the Dan Conference ends.

"You... are you that immortal being?"

After Lin Jing stood around the alchemy platform, a glamorous woman with red curly hair licked her lips and looked at him from the side.

"Our ancestor is very interested in you. After the alchemy gathering, would you be willing to have a chat in this city?"

Many viewers and alchemists turned their attention to the woman and recognized her as the concubine of the Heavenly Fire Ancestor. This Heavenly Fire Ancestor was a strange old monster named Kongxuan. Because his cultivation technique was too powerful, he needed to release his lust frequently, so he had countless wives and concubines. However, it is said that his lifespan has come to an end, and he no longer has the energy for dual cultivation. He has been searching for a way to prolong his life, and has even gradually gone mad to the point of using the young boys and girls among his descendants to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.

Lin Jing glanced at the woman indifferently, stretched out his hand, and a black scroll appeared in mid-air, opened, and floated in the air.

The unfolded scroll contained countless portraits, densely packed together.

"Is your ancestor in this scroll? If so, we can meet him."
