Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 318 Intruder

"Perhaps I can help them comprehend the Way of Obsession, and then when I borrow the power of my predecessors, I can merge with them. In this way, their insights can also be used by me."

Lin Jing discovered that being a beast tamer was a great profession; he could teach his pets the path that wasn't suitable for him.

Once the pet learns, it's essentially the same as the pet learning itself.

"That's the only way." Ghost Bride Tang Ling also felt that this was the best option at the moment.

“Let’s go.” She looked at a pagoda shrouded in a gray, ghostly aura ahead.

Once a sacred Buddhist site, it is now completely overrun by ghosts...

In fact, besides the ghost bride, the ghost city hides countless other ghosts. However, due to the ghost bride's power, these ghosts will hide themselves and dare not show themselves when the ghost bride appears.

Now, they are about to face their end. In order to create a quiet cultivation environment for the forest realm, under the instructions of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, the Thunder Dragon prodigies pulling the carts flew directly to various parts of Ghost City...

…………

In the ghost city, the ghost bride stood atop the pagoda, her eyes closed, continuously radiating her thoughts. Within these intense thoughts lay the path of obsession that she had mastered.

The different levels of the pagoda became the cultivation grounds for Lin Jing and his companions. Even a slight touch of the Void Profound Path on the outermost layer would have a strong impact on the hearts of the pine needle rats.

This is embodied in the Ghost Bride using her Dao to eliminate the obsessions of the Pine Leaf Rat and the Ice Soul Gu.

"squeak……"

Sitting cross-legged in the stupa, the pine needle rat in the Taoist robe had a solemn expression that kept changing. His heart and mind were going through a battle between heaven and man, and he felt that he was slowly losing his obsession with hoarding.

Suddenly, at some point, it felt that hoarding so many resources was meaningless and began to deny its actions over the years.

One of its greatest desires in cultivating immortality was to possess a super-huge storage space and fill it with things. But now, it suddenly doesn't know what the point of doing so is.

The Ice Soul Gu was in the same situation, and began to wonder if its competitiveness was too pointless. Pine Leaf Rat and Dragon Carp were both rare beasts that inherited the divine powers of immortals. Although it was a strange Gu created by the Gu God Sect, in the end, it was just a crystallization of the wisdom of mortal Gu cultivators and a creation of the lower realm.

Under such circumstances, it's perfectly normal to be unable to defeat the Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp. Compared to other life forms on the Tianyuan Continent, I'm already very strong. There's no need for me to compete with the Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp anymore. Maintaining the status quo is fine too...

The obsessions of both sides are being destroyed.

However, the Ghost Bride did not release her own will to destroy the Pine Leaf Rat and the Ice Soul Gu. Her main purpose was to help the Pine Leaf Rat and the Ice Soul Gu strengthen their own obsession.

If the Ghost Bride were to go all out, the Pine Leaf Rat and the Ice Soul Gu would suffer damage to their Dao hearts and lose their motivation to cultivate immortality in an instant. However, the Ghost Bride has controlled her power very well, keeping her influence at a level slightly weaker than the obsession of the Pine Leaf Rat and the Ice Soul Gu.

In this way, the leaf rat and the ice spirit gu will always be in a state of inner conflict. As long as they are firm and stick to their original intentions, their obsession with hoarding and being the strongest will be strengthened.

Until this obsession, in turn, influences their battles and cultivation, having a positive and catalytic effect on them.

"An opportunity to comprehend the Dao of a Void Profound cultivator? This time, the Dragon Carp shouldn't have missed an opportunity. After all, it has the Demon Emperor with it, cultivating in the Burial Immortal Volcano. This opportunity of its should be the greatest."

"I wonder how it is doing."

Lin Jing looked towards the direction of the Burial Immortal Volcano and could sense that Long Li had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. After thinking about it, he himself was enveloped in golden light, and he used the Magic Elemental Mushroom to transform the fluctuations of the Undying Golden Body onto his body, intending to study the Undying Golden Body here.

…………

A few months later.

Burial of Immortals Volcano.

On a volcanic crater, the Demon Emperor sat cross-legged. Inside the volcano, countless white flames flowed like rivers. A small carp struggled to roll around in the flames, letting them scorch its body.

The Demon Emperor's divine sense remained focused on the dragon carp. Through the outside, she saw that outside the dragon carp's demon core, countless bloodline powers were beginning to condense into a phantom image of a small carp.

"Is he in the phantom infant stage?"

The Illusionary Infant stage is a transitional phase between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul is not yet fully formed, but it already possesses some of the power of the Nascent Soul.

"After refining this Immortal Burial Flame, its bloodline strength should be able to reach the Ancestral Realm."

By sensing the illusory infant power of the dragon carp, the Demon Emperor made a judgment.

The formation of the nascent soul by humans and demons is actually a different process due to their different races.

When a demon beast forms its nascent soul, its demon core will not shatter. Instead, through the power of its bloodline, a protective outer shell of a demon core will form around it.

For human cultivators, the formation of the Nascent Soul involves the condensation and shaping of true essence within the Golden Core, eventually breaking through the Golden Core, and giving birth to the Dao Nascent Soul.

Both methods have their advantages. The nascent soul of a demonic beast has a stronger oppressive effect. Its demonic power can intimidate lower-level or even same-level cultivators with almost no consumption, just by thinking about it. It is like a king among beasts, inspiring fear in people.

Therefore, Nascent Soul level demonic beasts are also known as demon kings.

Human Nascent Soul cultivators do not possess such strong pressure, but they can combine their Nascent Soul with True Essence to unleash Nascent Soul Dharma Forms. These Dharma Forms are like a robust divine armor, enveloping the cultivator and far surpassing the cultivator's own strength in both attack and defense. Furthermore, cultivators can rely on their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms to amplify the power of their spells!

The Demon Emperor's gaze was intense. Just as she was pondering when the dragon carp, whose ancestral blood had been activated, would grow to the true Demon Ancestor realm and become a general of the Demon Court, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked towards the outside of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

At this moment, not only her, but every cultivator on the Tianyuan Continent who had reached the Dao Inquiry Realm sensed a strange phenomenon, as if the boundary wall of the Tianyuan Realm had been impacted in some way!

"So fast...?"

In the direction of the ancient kingdom, the second-generation ancient emperor gazed intently at the heavens, his heart filled with turmoil.

Several years ago, the Lord of the Demon Court brought intelligence, informing many powerful cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm of the Heavenly Demon Sect's ambitions. In order to deal with the invasion of a powerful enemy, the Tianyuan Realm launched the Golden Age, hoping to prepare for ten thousand, or even several thousand or several hundred years, to strengthen the foundation of the realm.

But who would have thought that just a few short years later, the second-generation ancient emperor sensed that someone wanted to cross the boundary barrier and descend upon the Tianyuan Realm.

Although it seems the other side failed, this is still a bad omen.
