Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 303 The Demon Emperor's Mission

Having broken through to the Golden Core stage, Lin Jing naturally also developed Golden Core supernatural abilities.

His Golden Elixir Divine Power is called the "Art of Divine Control".

It can be considered a combination of the imperial tradition and the attribute of longevity.

Although he still couldn't master the Heavenly Demon Body, the Divine Control Technique made up for some of Lin Jing's regrets, as the two techniques had very similar effects.

The so-called Divine Control Technique is Lin Jing's ability to control all things beyond his level by consuming his lifespan and the power of his Golden Core.

Currently, Lin Jing's Divine Control Technique, when used once, can consume up to ten years of his lifespan.

If Lin Jing were willing to expend ten years of his lifespan, he might now be able to control a high-grade magic weapon that he couldn't control before.

As long as Lin Jing is willing to expend his lifespan, he can even attempt to control a Nascent Soul Demon King using his Divine Control Technique.

Even among humans, Lin Jing could attempt to manipulate them using divine control techniques.

In Lin Jing's view, this Divine Control Technique was like an alternative version of the Heavenly Demon Body.

The advantage of the Heavenly Demon Body is that once it is cultivated, one can directly burn through ten, a hundred, or even ten thousand years of lifespan.

However, with his current level of proficiency in supernatural abilities, he can only activate this Divine Control Technique by consuming up to ten years of his lifespan, and its boost to combat power is not as significant as that of the Heavenly Demon Body.

However, in terms of skill, it is far superior to the Heavenly Demon Body. The Heavenly Demon Body only increases the level of magical power, but does not improve the mastery of magic. It has power but no skills to use it, and can only rely on brute force. In contrast, the Divine Control Technique improves the level of control in the Forest Realm, thus allowing one to control all things.

The arrival of the Divine Control Technique undoubtedly adds another powerful means of controlling the Dao to Lin Jing, a long-lived being.

As for the third major gain in the forest...

That is, after ten years, he finally gave the magical elemental spirit, Illusion Mushroom, its own intelligence, and perfected his mastery of the Illusion Dao!

"Owner."

The illusion mushroom floated beside Lin Jing. Seeing Lin Jing stand up, it asked, "Do you no longer need me to conjure up a cultivation environment?"

"Okay, everyone disperse."

As Lin Jing finished speaking, the forest, the ice and thunder ruins, and the alchemy room that had been transformed from illusion into reality within the hourglass of time instantly vanished, and the other pets inside raised their heads.

"We're going out now."

"I'm going to give you another task next."

Lin Jing looked at Huan Gu and remembered the Demon Emperor's reminder.

A determination to die...

Only by having the resolve to die can one forge the Heavenly Demon Body.

But given my current status, it's indeed difficult for me to possess something like that.

After all, with the Demon Emperor's protection, it would be far too difficult for him to encounter a crisis that would force him to commit suicide.

However, the birth of the Illusion Mushroom gave Lin Jing hope of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Body.

"From now on, you can cast an illusion on me when my psychological defenses are weakest, without endangering my safety, and create a crisis that forces me to face certain death, and awaken me the moment I have cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body but before I can activate it."

"No limit on the number of times."

Using illusion magic to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body is the only method Lin Jing can think of at the moment.

After saying that, he sealed away his memory of giving the command to the Illusion Mushroom, so that he would not be wary of this magical spirit.

"Ugh..." Phantom Mushroom scratched his head, lost in thought. Difficult, so very difficult.

How could there be such an unreasonable request?
It is the crystallization of Lin Jing's magic. To put it bluntly, it is a part of Lin Jing. It was created by Lin Jing's mental split. So Lin Jing's requirement is to hypnotize himself... Will he really not go astray and lose the ability to distinguish between illusion and reality?
…………

Five years after the Golden Age.

Lin Jing officially left the pass.

My own cultivation level is at the early stage of Core Formation.

Pine Leaf Rat, mid-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Dragon Carp, having reached the perfect stage of Core Formation.

Ice Soul Gu, mid-stage Core Formation cultivation!

After Lin Jing emerged from seclusion, he immediately reported his situation to the Demon Emperor.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor's voice came from the tiger fang in Lin Jing's hand.

"congratulations."

"Is that carp's cultivation level only one step away from becoming a demon king? That's right."

"Yes, we will refine a Transformation Pill that will be effective for both the Demon Emperor and the Demon Ancestor as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor," Lin Jing assured him.

Before going into seclusion, they improved the quality of the Transformation Pill, refining a pill that could allow demon king-level demon beasts to transform into human form. They then gave it to their eldest sister, waiting for the sect leader and senior brother Ouyang to use it after they emerged from seclusion.

As for whether they are willing to break the contract and transform into human form, that is their business. In short, for the Beast Taming Sect, the Transformation Pill that can enable Demon King-level demon beasts to transform into human form is enough, but for the Demon Court, only the Transformation Pill that can enable Demon Emperors and Demon Ancestors to transform into human form has strategic value.

"No rush," the Demon Emperor said. "Since its cultivation has already reached the perfection of that realm, why not wait until it forms its Nascent Soul before you continue refining pills? Otherwise, with its current cultivation, it might be possible to refine a Demon Emperor-level Transformation Pill, but refining a Demon Ancestor-level Transformation Pill will still be quite difficult."

"Alright." Lin Jing was about to suggest that Long Li prepare for Nascent Soul formation, but the Demon Emperor had already arranged everything perfectly for them.

"In the western desert, there is a volcano called the Burial Immortal Volcano. It was formed during the Immortal Palace War when the Immortal Alliance set up a grand formation, which drew upon the essence of the sun's core fire, thus burying the immortals of the lower realm."

"Given the carp's current condition, ordinary flames can hardly enhance its flame power. Next, I will escort it to the 'Burial Immortal Volcano' to help it refine the flames there. If successful, combined with its rare beast abilities, it will be able to fuse all the flames and master the 'Immortal Fire' level flame. At that time, whether it's refining the Transformation Pill or helping you compete for the fortune of the Golden Age, it will become your most powerful beast."

Lin Jing was slightly taken aback.

Is this... the feeling of being a top-tier second-generation immortal?

"As for yourself, you can go to the Western Desert to stay with your pet beast. Before it successfully breaks through, I will give you another mission."

"Intelligence has arrived from the Demon Court branch in the Western Desert..."

"The abbot of Jin Guang Temple failed to break through to the Dao Inquiry Realm during the Golden Age. Now his lifespan is coming to an end, and the Golden Light Gu, one of the Ten Great Strange Gu sealed within him, will soon become ownerless."

"In order to prevent the Golden Light Gu from causing havoc on the world after his death, the abbot of Golden Light Temple used his last bit of magic power to purify the Golden Light Gu back to its original form, which was the form of the Thunder Tribulation Gu. He wanted to find a Buddhist cultivator who was capable of controlling the Golden Light Gu to inherit this extraordinary Gu."

"That eminent monk set up several tests for inheritance at Jin Guang Temple. Those who pass the tests can inherit the Golden Light Gu. The only condition for accepting the inheritance is to be a prodigy with considerable Buddhist cultivation. You should meet the conditions."

"On this trip to the Western Desert, while Long Li is breaking through, you must find a way to retrieve the Golden Light Gu from the Buddhist sect."

"I am from the Divine Tiger Clan of the Metal Element. Once you obtain the Golden Light Gu and acquire the domineering power of the Metal Element, I will bestow upon you a special imperial weapon of my clan for protection. That imperial weapon can only be activated by the most domineering power of the Metal Element. Given your current situation, obtaining the Golden Light Gu is the most efficient choice."

Lin Jing gripped the tiger's teeth tightly.

Is that Buddhist monk who sealed the Golden Light Gu inside his body going to die? The Golden Light Gu inheritance... What kind of luck does the Ice Soul Gu have? It just swallowed the Thunder Tribulation Gu, and now it has information about the Golden Light Gu.
