Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 307 Demon Extermination Temple

"That's an ancient thunder dragon!"

Many monks from the Demon Exorcism Temple also saw the scene outside the city through their divine senses.

They were shocked that someone could have nine ancient thunder dragons pulling a cart. What was this person's background?

As Lin Jing introduced himself, the monks' expressions changed once again.

really!

They didn't pay attention to the talk about the Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect, but the name Lin Jing was familiar to the monks present.

Demon Court, Holy Son!
The monks of the Demon Exorcising Temple were on high alert, wondering why the Holy Son of the Demon Court would appear in this place.

The name Lin Jing is enough to make not only Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation monks tremble with fear, but even some Void Profound cultivators would probably avoid him.

Even among second-generation talents, there are differences. Some prodigies from certain Daoist factions may indeed be highly valued, but they may not be able to get the Daoist experts in those factions to act on their behalf. Many Daoist masters are completely detached from worldly affairs.

But Lin Jing is different. He is the hope for the revival of the Demon Court. The fact that the Demon Emperor is willing to personally take action to sweep away powerful enemies for him already shows his status. Perhaps only a few second-generation figures like the ancient prince can rival Lin Jing in terms of status.

"Beast Taming Sect..." At this moment, the white-robed old monk was also stunned for a moment, but then he spoke to quiet everyone down.

"There's no need to worry. Lin Shengzi has come here with no ill intentions."

"You can stay here."

The old monk in white looked out of the city, and in the next instant, he appeared on the clouds outside the city, his appearance changing from that of an old monk to that of a young monk in white.

He understood the unspoken meaning in Lin Jing's words: Lin Jing's visit was not on behalf of the Holy Son of the Demon Court, but rather the Beast Taming Sect.

Few people know that the abbot of the Demon Extermination Temple had a friendship with the second-generation leader of the Beast Taming Sect during his travels in the ancient kingdom.

This time, Lin Jing is a junior of an old friend who has come to visit.

In addition, the white-robed monk also realized the connection between Lin Jing and himself.

The Demon Court and the Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect were baptized by their own Buddha light.

The other person's talent for Buddhist cultivation is due to his own birth!

"Senior, we meet again." Lin Jing looked at the young monk, whose appearance was exactly the same as the illusion of the monk in the Demon Suppression Tower of the Beast Taming Sect.

“Your Highness, Holy Son…” The young monk smiled and said, “I was also quite surprised that the opportunity I sent out with the wisp of consciousness I left behind actually landed on the Holy Son of the Demon Court.”

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "I must thank you for the baptism of Buddha's light, senior, which has helped me a lot. As for the Demon Court, that was an experience later."

"Therefore, I came to the Western Desert specifically to visit the Demon Extermination Temple and express my gratitude to the senior."

The young monk spoke up: "No need to be so polite. My Buddhist light can only help people unlock their Buddhist cultivation talent. But Your Highness's growth to this point is not due to my Buddhist light, but entirely to Your Highness's own talent..."

"This place is not suitable for conversation. Why don't you come with me to the temple for a while, Your Highness?" the white-robed monk invited. Lin Jing nodded and then looked at the Thunder Dragon Ancestor beside him.

"I'll be back as soon as I go."

Lei Long Patriarch nodded, then glanced at the white-robed monk, who returned the glance. He couldn't help but feel that the Demon Court truly valued this Holy Son.

…………

A moment later, Lin Jing was seated in the teahouse of the Demon Extermination Temple, where he was personally entertained by the temple's abbot.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness to the Western Desert this time?" "Could it be that you have also come to exorcise demons?" the white-robed monk asked.

"I suppose so," Lin Jing said. "Recently, there seem to be more demons in the Western Desert. Are there many outside cultivators coming to exorcise them?"

"Yes, the start of the Golden Age has awakened countless ancient demons, and the Western Desert is about to descend into chaos once more..."

The white-robed monk thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Your Highness know the Sword Immortal Lingyue?"

Lin Jingdao said, "Of course I know."

"Since the Ancestor of the Sky-Splitting Sword ascended to the Dao Inquiry stage, the Sword Immortal Lingyue also became a successor of the Dao Inquiry stage. Now she is one of the most famous sword cultivators on the continent. She should arrive in the Western Desert soon to slay demons and monsters."

“When I was young, I spent some time in the Demon Extermination Bureau of the ancient kingdom, so I still have some contact with the Demon Extermination Bureau. A few days ago, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor sent a message, hoping that I would take care of her disciple for a while.”

The white-robed monk sighed, "According to the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor, this Lingyue Sword Immortal is a member of the Feng family of Martial Emperor City. She came to the ancient kingdom with her parents when she was young. During the journey, they encountered demons. Her parents were killed by the demons in order to protect her and escape. Fortunately, this Lingyue Sword Immortal was saved by an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect who happened to be passing by, and that's how she survived."

"This also fostered Lingyue Sword Immortal's extreme hatred for demons and monsters. Therefore, upon hearing that demons and monsters were causing trouble in the Western Desert recently, she insisted on coming here no matter what."

"There must be many other outstanding talents like her who came to slay demons and monsters. This is a blessing for the Western Desert."

Lin Jing remained silent, as this was the first time he had heard about the background of the Sword Immortal Lingyue. It turned out that the other party's parents had died tragically at the hands of demons... No wonder the other party wanted to team up with him so much, using him as bait. It seemed that the other party really wanted to kill more demons.

"Could it be that Your Highness, due to a special experience, has come to exorcise demons?" The white-robed monk inquired, knowing that Lin Jing had been persecuted by the Yin Corpse Sect.

"No." Lin Jing got straight to the point: "I heard that the abbot of Jin Guang Temple wants to find a successor for his Golden Light Gu, and I came here for the Golden Light Gu."

"I have the Buddhist cultivation talent that you, senior, have unlocked, so I can be considered half a Buddhist."

"The conditions for accepting the inheritance should be met."

“I have heard that demons are rampant in the Western Desert. One of the tests for the Golden Light Gu that the Golden Light Temple inherits is to slay demons. So, slaying demons is naturally a part of what I have to go through after I came to the Western Desert.”

The white-robed monk paused for a moment.

"So that's how it is, Your Highness, you've come for the Golden Light Gu..."

"That's true, but Your Highness is currently the Holy Son of the Demon Court, and it's likely that many Buddhists will find it difficult to accept your status."

Lin Jing smiled slightly as he looked at the white-robed monk.

"So, I've come to pay my respects to you, senior. You are one of the Ten Great Void Masters of Buddhism, and I am half a disciple of yours. Why can't I be considered a half-Buddhist disciple?"

“You are just like your second-generation sect leader, a slippery fellow. Back in the day, he was just like that too.” The white-robed monk was taken aback again, then laughed heartily, recalling his experiences in his youth.

At that time, his cultivation level was not high, only at the Nascent Soul stage. He relied on the unique sealing supernatural power of Buddhism to help the Great Wilderness seal the immortal demon. The friendship formed at that time is worth remembering.

The old monk in white robes fell into deep thought.

"Considering our friendship, I will help you. However, Your Highness must promise me that in the struggle for inheritance, you must not harm any of the Buddhist prodigies. At the same time, you must help Buddhism deal with a demon that has resurrected from ancient times." The white-robed monk said, "What does Your Highness think?"

“The power of lightning is the bane of demons.” He looked towards the Thunder Dragon Ancestor outside the city.

It is believed that if Ancestor Leilong were to intervene, it would alleviate some of the pressure on the Buddhist sect. Apart from that, if Lin Jing is determined to obtain the Golden Light Gu, it would be better to avoid a life-or-death conflict... to ensure a fair competition and avoid damaging the Buddhist sect's strength.

Lin Jing nodded and said, "Of course, but I've heard that the Golden Light Temple's test requires a high level of Buddhist knowledge. I currently only practice two Buddhist methods. Could you perhaps teach me a few more Mahayana Buddhist methods as well...?"

"Imperishable Golden Body, Tathagata Palm, is it here?"

White-robed monk: ?
