Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 304 Golden Light Gu

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"On this journey to the west, I will definitely obtain the Golden Light Gu."

Lin Jing had no objection to the Demon Emperor's arrangements.

Although the Burial Immortal Volcano sounds extremely dangerous, and retrieving the Golden Light Gu would certainly be fraught with difficulties, at least with the Demon Emperor's protection, he doesn't need to worry about his life.

Since the trip to the Western Desert was neither dangerous nor particularly beneficial, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Come see me when you are ready."

The Demon Emperor's last voice was transmitted.

Lin Jing stood there lost in thought…

Since that's the case, I should also go and make some arrangements for my own affairs.

"Let's go check on Senior Shensong first. You all come out and pay your respects to the old master."

He first went to the place where Senior Qi Shensong cultivated.

Before it could even utter a sound, the giant pine tree spontaneously emitted a golden-green glow.

"You have finally broken through to the Golden Core stage."

"good……"

"It seems that you have also initially consolidated your realm, senior." Lin Jing smiled slightly.

"Hehe, naturally, this is not a difficult thing," Shen Song said. "However, why is this little guy still only at the mid-stage of the Demon Core realm?"

The old man looked at the leaf rat that had climbed onto the forest's shoulder.

The pine needle rat squeaked a greeting, indicating that spiritual realm was something external to oneself.

Then, the dragon carp and the ice spirit gu also emerged to greet them.

In comparison, the dragon carp was quite pleased with itself, after all, it currently possessed the highest cultivation level.

Furthermore, it overheard the conversation between Lin Jing and the Demon Emperor…

The chance to master flames of celestial fire level...

"It..." Lin Jing looked at the leaf rat, shook his head, and said, "Senior, you don't need to worry about its cultivation level. Although it looks like it's only in the mid-stage of Core Formation, that's because it hasn't spent any time cultivating these past few years, but has instead been..."

"Hoarding goods, is that it?" Shen Song sighed.

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded with a smile. After all, the profit from stockpiling pine needle rats is very high now. The more stockpiled, the stronger the golden core power. Pine needle rats may look weak on the surface, but if they use their demon core powers, even dragon carp may not be able to gain an advantage.

“I understand, then what about it?” Shen Song looked at his demonic successor, the Ice Soul Gu.

"Didn't this guy even devour the Thunder Tribulation Gu? Why is his growth rate so slow?"

"Waaaah..." The little spider covered its face with its legs. There was nothing it could do. It had no time to cultivate at all. Lin Jing had arranged for it to generate electricity inside its body to help it temper its body.

Fortunately, Bingpo Gu also heard the Demon Emperor's arrangements and knew that he could go and devour the Golden Light Gu soon.

Tears streamed from the corners of her mouth, a result of being exploited.

Golden Light Gu.

Metal-attribute strange poisons...

Lin Jing was also quite interested in this Gu. This Golden Light Gu had two core characteristics.

I. Gu poison.

The poison of the Golden Light Gu can cause other life forms to "rust". In this state, cultivators will become increasingly unable to control their bodies, just as if they have neglected their cultivation for hundreds or thousands of years. They will become rusty in various spells and martial arts, and eventually become a useless person who cannot take care of himself.

In the "rusted" state, some parts of the poisoned person's body, such as bones, teeth, and internal organs, may also be susceptible to metal poisoning.

Therefore, to become a host of the Golden Light Gu, one's physical body must be able to withstand the corrosion of rust; otherwise, one must cultivate day and night to prevent the body from rusting, and there is no freedom whatsoever.

Second, top-tier control over the gold industry.

Just as the Ice Soul Gu possesses top-tier frost control and the Thunder Tribulation Gu possesses top-tier lightning control, the Golden Light Gu can also control and bestow upon its container the ultimate metal element mastery, which is what the Demon Emperor valued.

The Demon Emperor considered it unrealistic to expect Lin Jing to start cultivating metal-based magic from scratch. Therefore, the Golden Light Gu was the shortcut for Lin Jing to master a metal-based imperial weapon.

Through this ability, the Golden Light Gu can also control those poisoned by the Gu, using them as weapons.

However, Lin Jing had never heard of the abbot of Jin Guang Temple using this ability. It seemed that the high monk had only used the Golden Light Gu to strengthen his "golden body".

When the power of the Golden Light Gu merges with the container, the container's body will appear as if it is wearing a layer of golden armor, shining brightly and possessing unparalleled offensive power. Combined with the golden body of Buddhism, this makes the head monk of the Golden Light Temple known as having the second-best defensive power in Buddhism.

"I see." Seeing the behavior of Lin Jing's pets, Shen Song understood: "So next, you should be leaving this place to help them break through further, right? You came here to say goodbye to me."

"You can't possibly ask me to protect you, can you? You are now the Holy Son of the Demon Court, protected by the Demon Emperor. You don't need an old man like me."

"Senior, please don't say that... It is indeed before leaving that we came to say goodbye, but we should be back soon. In the meantime, please take care of this Immortal Prison Mountain for me."

Lin Jing smiled and bowed.

"That's all? So everything's alright?"

Shen Song clearly didn't believe it.

Lin Jing looked up and chuckled, "Since you have now reached the Void Profound Realm, you must have a way to help the Pine Leaf Rat deduce the subsequent realms of the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique. It has now cultivated the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique to perfection, but although it is perfect, it is only equivalent to a Nascent Soul level technique, which is obviously not enough."

"After becoming the Holy Son of the Demon Court, I also reviewed the cultivation techniques within the Demon Court and found that the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique is more suitable for it. I wonder if Senior could..."

Shen Song curled his lips, looked at the eagerly waiting pine needle rat, and said, "When I was its age, I was already able to deduce cultivation techniques on my own... But never mind, seeing how busy you are, I'll lend you a hand. However, I estimate that the ultimate goal of this cultivation technique is to deduce it to the Nascent Soul stage, because my own Longevity Technique has only reached that level."

"If we want to think about the future, you'll have to figure it out yourselves... You have the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, and you have the opportunity to be listed on the Fortune Ranking. It would be more efficient for you to handle the comprehension of the techniques yourselves in the future..."

"By the way, you must have also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique, right?" the old pine tree suddenly thought of something.

Lin Jing nodded.

"It's already perfect."

"I know, after all, you've been using that Heavenly Demon Divine Sense technique to scan me. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. If I did, the Demon Emperor would have killed me long ago," Shen Song said irritably.

Lin Jing smiled: "Of course I know, but as a demonic cultivator, one must always be wary of others. Even the closest people cannot be completely trusted. Isn't that what you taught me, senior? Besides, this Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique was brought to the Tianyuan Realm by you, senior. It should be ineffective against you, right?"

Shen Song chuckled: "If it were my past self, it probably wouldn't work, and I would definitely have a way to resolve it. But now, I can't ignore it either."

"After you leave, I should also go out to receive the legacy of the Heavenly Demon Sect that the ancient kingdom had not fully received when it was destroyed. At that time, in addition to the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique and the Heavenly Demon Body, I will teach you some other Heavenly Demon Sect supernatural abilities."

"These spells and supernatural abilities are stronger than the native spells of the Tianyuan Realm. Once you learn them, you will have another way out."

"A way out...?" Lin Jing had a bad feeling.

"Hehe, although I hate the Heavenly Demon Sect to the core, as a demonic cultivator, how can I live and die with an entire realm? As long as I'm alive, I'll fight again. If you ever find yourself in dire straits, you can sever your immortal body, change your identity, and become a remnant of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Heavenly Origin Realm, then defect to the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Heavenly Demon Realm won't turn away outstanding geniuses. However, you'll have to undergo multiple rounds of brainwashing and scrutiny. As long as you can withstand it and don't give yourself away... It's never too late for a demonic cultivator to take revenge..."
