Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 305 Heading West to Get Gold
The forest was silent.

Senior Mosong's ideas are far too dangerous.

“Senior, if it really comes to that, it’s not called ‘seeking refuge in the Heavenly Demon Realm.’ Instead, it’s called for cultivators from the Heavenly Origin Realm to endure hardship and infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Realm as undercover agents in order to seek opportunities for revenge.”

After correcting Senior Shensong's statement, Lin Jing said, "I hope that day will never come."

"Ideally, a powerful being from the Celestial Realm should quickly defeat the Demon Lord, then reopen the ascension passage, allowing immortals to descend to the mortal realm and completely annihilate the Heavenly Demon Sect there. In this way, the Tianyuan Realm will no longer have to live in fear..."

"That's a beautiful dream." Shensong admired this kind of spirit.

“Naturally, optimistic people are less likely to die young.” Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, “Senior, there seems to be something else…”

"Is there anything else?" Shen Song was about to see the guest off when he realized that Lin Jing was indeed a troublemaker.

"Are you going to introduce it to me too?" Shen Song looked at another mushroom spirit that floated out and fell into deep thought.

"Spell Spirit, if you want me to praise your talent, then it is indeed quite good. However, why is the shape of a spell spirit of illusion nature a mushroom? Could it be that you have been influenced by me and have a special fondness for plant spirits?"

"Mwah!" The magical spirit glanced at the rough, huge, and ugly divine pine tree, then burrowed back into Lin Jing's body.

It was simply looking for an opportunity to hypnotize Lin Jing...

“That’s not the case,” Lin Jing said. “It’s your neighbor, another immortal being, Gu Qianqiu.”

“Oh, her,” Shen Song said. “It seems she has already reached the peak of Core Formation. Her cultivation speed is quite fast. However, there are ten dou of spiritual energy in Xianlao Mountain, and she has to take eight dou for herself… I only didn’t compete with her for the spiritual vein because I thought she didn’t have many years left to live.”

Lin Jing said helplessly, "I have prepared some resources to help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage, as well as some gentle life-extending resources. While I am away, I would appreciate it if you could take care of her and make sure she can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage before her lifespan runs out."

With the arrival of the Golden Age, Gu Qianqiu should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage more easily.

However, Lin Jing was still worried, so he planned to leave behind all the resources he had obtained in Tongtian City that could extend his lifespan and assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for what I need, I can just get it from the Demon Court.

"Alright..." Shen Song muttered to itself. Now that Lin Jing was protected by the Demon Emperor, it didn't know if it would still be able to obtain Lin Jing's blood. But now, there was another immortal being. Even if it couldn't get Lin Jing's blood, at least it had a backup plan...

"Leave it to me. If all else fails, I'll use my demonic powers to send her up. You can trust me to handle things."

…………

Not long after, Lin Jing bid farewell to Senior Shensong with lingering concern.

Gu Qianqiu was still in seclusion, so Lin Jing didn't disturb her.

After inspecting the dungeon and rewarding Mosquito Girl, the deputy captain of the demon-catching team, Lin Jing contacted his senior sister.

Currently, Long Li has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and using supernatural powers still puts a certain strain on him. Therefore, Lin Jing plans to wait until Long Li breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage and returns before refining this group of demons.

Moreover, in just a few years, the number of demons imprisoned at the foot of this mountain is not very large.

I'll stock up on some more...

With the ancestor of Thousand Illusion Mountain, Huanli, presiding over the Immortal Prison, Lin Jing was not worried about these demons getting into trouble.

"You've made it out of quarantine? Congratulations!"

After Lin Jing took out his senior sister's communication jade, the two began to communicate telepathically across vast distances.

"Yes, congratulations to Senior Sister for entering the top ten of the Fortune Ranking..." Lin Jing looked up at the sky.

This list of fortunes is not usually visible; cultivators need to concentrate their minds to see it.

On the enormous Fortune Ranking, Senior Sister Xu Qingyao's name was prominently ranked ninth.

After several years of training by the Demon Emperor and the massive allocation of resources, he can be considered the number one Nascent Soul prodigy in the world.

After all, the eldest sister is now the representative of the Demon Court, and her strength cannot be too weak. With the huge influx of resources, not only she, but every pet beast has consumed a massive amount of resources.

"Stop talking. The top eight are all at the Nascent Soul stage. In a few years, after I'm fully prepared, I'll also try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but I estimate... it will take a long time," Xu Qingyao said unhappily.

Genius.

This word has always been associated with young people.

Normally speaking, someone who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, even if they are not an old monster, should have already lived half their lifespan, and has nothing to do with the term "prodigy".

But there is a group of monsters who, despite being in their prime before their lifespan has ended, have already cultivated to the level of a Nascent Soul.

Currently, there appear to be eight such cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm.

These eight people may still be teenagers or young adults in terms of their total lifespan, but their cultivation level has already reached the middle stage of the cultivation path.

From the perspective of the world, these eight people are likely to eventually reach the Dao Inquiry stage. "Senior Sister, good luck! I just don't know when I'll be able to climb onto this list..." Lin Jing sighed. If he could, the boost to his cultivation speed would be enormous.

The competition for the rare Gu in the Buddhist sect is unlikely to be peaceful. I wonder if I will be able to climb the list of the most fortunate when the time comes.

After all, he had just taken a closer look... When the list first appeared, all one hundred people were indeed at the Nascent Soul stage or above, but five years later, there were already six Golden Core cultivators among them.

This indicates that these six Golden Core cultivators have successfully defeated some Nascent Soul prodigies on the Golden List, thus plundering their fortune.

Six ruthless people...

This is not as simple as defeating ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators who have only reached that level through sheer time...

This means that if these six people were to enter the Nascent Soul stage, they would most likely be among the top of the Gold List, and their talents would be even more terrifying!
“You…” Xu Qingyao asked when she heard Lin Jing’s mutterings.

"Approximately how long are you going to live?"

Before Lin Jing could answer, Xu Qingyao said, "If we look at the ratio of our current age to our total lifespan, we might be called prodigies, but you're probably still an infant. It's normal for me to be anxious now, as I represent the Demon Court and His Majesty the Demon Emperor. You don't need to be so anxious... You have a long life ahead of you."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "Alright, actually I wanted to ask, shouldn't the sect leader and senior brother have come out of seclusion by now?"

"Yes, they've all come out of seclusion."

"After they came out of the pass, they were completely bewildered by all the changes..."

"That Transformation Pill..."

“Father and Ouyang had no patience and directly terminated the contract, allowing Mother and Hong’er to complete their transformation.” Xu Qingyao sighed, “They said that improving cultivation techniques takes an unknown amount of time, and rather than waiting slowly, it would be better to terminate the contract first and then study how to improve the Beast Taming Technique so that it can be used to contract with demons.”

Lin Jing was taken aback and said, "They've all taken human form..."

"Then, Senior Sister, please tell them for me that I forgot to mention earlier... please don't have any children during this time."

He didn't know how the fox demon that Senior Shensong encountered was reincarnated, but he hoped it wouldn't be reincarnated into the belly of someone he knew, otherwise it would be really awkward.

Especially Senior Brother Ouyang, he's in danger!
After all, they are of similar race!

"Uh." Although she didn't know why, the senior sister nodded and said, "I will pass on the message."

"As for the Beast Taming Sect, there shouldn't be any problems now, right?" Lin Jing asked the last question he was concerned about.

"Are you referring to the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate? The ancient kingdom has already given them permission. Now, the Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate has been moved to the former location of the Senluo Palace, a powerful force in Qingzhou. After the battle of Tongtian City, the Senluo Palace was also destroyed by the Demon Court, and their territory was vacated and given to the Beast Taming Sect. Now, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Thousand Illusion Mountain have also submitted to the Demon Court. This area can almost be considered the territory of the Demon Court."

"As for the immortal demon that you care about most, the Demon Suppression Tower was also moved here by His Majesty the Demon Emperor with great supernatural powers. It is still being suppressed under the mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect, and probably doesn't even know that it has moved to a new place."

"Then there's no problem." Lin Jing nodded. It seemed that after the Demon Emperor and the Ancient Emperor made their deal, the Beast Taming Sect had been properly taken care of.

Even if the ancient emperor disliked the alien races, he probably wouldn't care about the fate of the Beast Taming Sect and him, a mere cultivator, when faced with the temptation of the Golden Bell.

Lin Jing looked at the Fortune Ranking again. After all, three of the top ten on the Fortune Ranking were from ancient kingdoms, and the first and second were both geniuses of ancient clans! The foundation of ancient clans was terrifying.

The start of this golden age has clearly benefited the ancient kingdom, the strongest human power, the most.

First, the ancient prince...

Second, the ancient princess...

Even before this list of successful candidates appeared, no one knew that the second-generation ancient emperor had a daughter. After all, whether it was the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique or the True Dragon Secret Technique, the most important thing was reputation. That's why the rumors of the ancient emperor's thirteenth level of Qi Refining and three major physiques spread throughout the continent.

But this ancient princess had no prior reputation, which was highly unusual, unless she wasn't practicing some ancient clan secret technique...

"A Nascent Soul cultivator...?"

After confirming that everything was alright at the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing made some preparations and then went to the Demon Court headquarters to request an audience with the Demon Emperor.

"I will use my spatial powers to take you to the Western Desert. The journey is long, and the time spent crossing the void will be considerable." At the Demon Court headquarters, the Demon Emperor sat on his dragon throne, his hands on either side of the seat, gazing down at Lin Jing.

"Okay." Lin Jing took out the "dizziness pill" he had prepared in advance and swallowed it.

Then, seeing the Demon Emperor's speechless expression, he asked, "Your Majesty, once we arrive there, should I enter the Western Desert directly as the Holy Son of the Demon Court, or should I transform into a monk to retrieve the Golden Light Gu?"

"Nonsense, of course it's in your capacity as the Holy Son of the Demon Court. As I said, once you become the Holy Son of the Demon Court, you no longer need to hide. No one can harm you."

"Since you also have Buddhist cultivation attainments, you meet the requirements of the Golden Light Temple. If the other party is unreasonable, I will personally go and talk to the leader of the Buddhist sect. At that time, it will not be done according to the rules, but by force! However, if you cannot obtain the Golden Light Gu within the other party's rules, it is because you are not as skilled as those Buddhist prodigies. I will not stand up for you."

Lin Jing smiled, indicating that he understood...

"Furthermore, on this journey to the west to retrieve the gold, you can choose any of the demon ancestors within the Demon Court to serve as your protector. If you encounter any fools, just have them kill them for you. Remember, you are now the Holy Son of the Demon Court, so be arrogant!" The Demon Emperor slapped the armrest of his seat repeatedly with his small hand.
