Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 322 Don't Underestimate Your Pet
At the top of the pagoda, Lin Jing looked towards the ghost bride.

In order to break into the ranks of the top ten geniuses of Tianyuan, he was determined to obtain the Golden Light Gu, since the Golden Gu could greatly enhance the power of the Ice Soul Gu.

After finishing his conversation with the Demon Emperor, Lin Jing realized a very serious problem, so he suddenly paid special attention to the individual strength of his pet beasts.

Just now, the Demon Emperor tacitly agreed that he and his pet beast could be considered as one entity entering the Origin Realm...

This is a big problem.

The Demon Emperor believed this because all the caves and secret realms in the Tianyuan Realm were like this.

But does the Origin Realm quota truly acknowledge that he and pet beasts like the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu are one entity?

The reason why the various grotto-heavens and secret realms of Tianyuan Realm are recognized is because this is the territory of the Immortal Palace, and the Beast Taming Technique itself is a cultivation method passed down from the Immortal Palace.

However, the Origin Realm is not the territory of the Immortal Palace.

It is a public area jointly transformed, maintained, and managed by many celestial forces, similar to the Celestial Palace, serving as a training ground for geniuses from all realms.

The Origin Realm is rich in resources, and cultivators from all realms want to enter it. For this reason, the number of people entering must be limited to ensure that the resources of the Origin Realm do not dry up.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the rules of the Origin Realm will not recognize that the Beastmaster and the Beast are one and the same. If that is the case, then things will be terrible.

Even if the squirrel and carp don't go in, their avatars will remain. At that time, neither the original nor the avatar will be able to enter.

However, it's not entirely hopeless. If Lin Jing wants to bring the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu along, there is still a chance.

That is, to allow the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu to also make it into the top ten of the Fortune Gold List as individual entities. As long as they can defeat the top ten on the Gold List individually, even if the Origin Realm does not recognize the Beast Taming Contract, the four of them will still enter the Origin Realm through the four available slots.

Who says a pet beast can't be a peerless genius?
Although this makes it easy to get beaten up by the powerful figures of the Tianyuan Realm, it complies with the entry rules set by the second-generation ancient emperor... and does not violate them.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu must also possess the ability to suppress the prodigies individually.

Lin Jing wasn't too worried about the pine needle rat and the dragon carp, since they were two rare beasts, almost at the level of immortals. The real challenge lay with the Ice Soul Gu.

Whether or not a Gu worm has a human host to assist it, the difference in combat power is like heaven and earth. Therefore, we must try our best to enhance its individual strength.

Devouring other strange insects is a good strategy.

When encountering an opponent, even if you can't overwhelm them with strength, you can still overwhelm them with attribute advantages. If you encounter a genius from the Sea God Palace, use the power of the Thunder Tribulation Gu; if you encounter a genius from the Wood Law, use the power of the Golden Light Gu... As long as you have enough attributes, you can have a great advantage in battle.

"Senior, we are ready, may we begin?" The ghost bride before us is the key to obtaining the Golden Light Gu!

"Mm." Tang Ling nodded.

"Just start, I won't resist."

"Then I shall begin." Lin Jing stretched out his hand and summoned the Buddha-Demon Pearl to his body. The Buddha-Demon Pearl was gold on the top half and black on the bottom half. The gold was rich Buddhist light and the black was overwhelming demonic energy. Holding it always gave Lin Jing the feeling of holding a Poké Ball and about to capture a Pokémon.

"Go." With a sharp look in his eyes, Lin Jing activated the Buddha-Demon Pearl to subdue the Ghost Bride. In the next instant, the Ghost Bride, who had not resisted, was directly absorbed into the Buddha-Demon Pearl like a distorted phantom. However, immediately afterward, with a crack, the Buddha-Demon Pearl flashed and showed signs of breaking.

It seems that the power of the Ghost Bride was too great, and even if she tried to suppress it, the Buddha-Demon Pearl could not withstand it!
"Retract!!" Lin Jing quickly absorbed the Buddha-Demon Pearl into his body, simultaneously activating his Undying Golden Body to enhance the Buddha power of the Buddha-Demon Pearl. Furthermore, he used the terrifying vitality of a 20,000-year-old life form to suppress the ghostly and divine power emanating from the Buddha-Demon Pearl.

After a short while, the Buddha-Demon Pearl returned to calm, and the power of the Undying Golden Body slowly repaired the damage to the Buddha-Demon Pearl, allowing Lin Jing to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Senior, can you hear me?"

“Alright,” the ghost bride said. “Next, I need to draw power from the Buddha-Demon Pearl and borrow a portion of your ghostly power.”

"You smoke it."

"it is good!"

With the ghost bride's help, Lin Jing's situation became much easier.

They had greater confidence in obtaining the Golden Gu.

Next, Lin Jing began a two-week period of seclusion to refine his skills.

As the final time for the Golden Light Gu's inheritance drew ever closer, the Nine Dragons Boat set sail once more. Lin Jing stood atop the dragon head at the front of the boat, his complexion unusually poor.

The original forest was full of vitality, exuding youthful vigor.

However, after sealing the Ghost Bride for a period of time, the use of this ghostly power made Lin Jing look sinister, and his life force was draining away much faster. In the words of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, he was somewhat similar to the demonic cultivators of the Netherworld Palace.

"Although it is a very strong power, it cannot be sealed in the body for a long time. Once I obtain the Golden Light Gu, I will release the Ghost Bride as soon as possible. Otherwise, my body will not be able to withstand it and will become weaker and weaker, just like being drained of yang energy by a female ghost."

The side effects of sealing the ghost bride are even greater than those of raising a strange Gu.

However, this is also because of the vast difference in their cultivation levels. If they were both at the Void Profound realm, the burden of activating the strange Gu would definitely be more terrifying.

"Your Highness, we will be arriving at Jin Guang Temple soon."

"Congratulations, Your Highness! You will soon obtain the rare Gu. With the Ghost Bride around, these Buddhist prodigies will certainly be unable to compete with Your Highness."

"Our trip to the Western Desert is coming to an end," said Ancestor Lei Long with a smile.

"Hmm." Lin Jing understood the hint from the Thunder Dragon Ancestor and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior. After returning to Qingzhou, I will go into seclusion to refine pills and will send nine pills that can help a Nascent Soul stage demon king transform into human form to the Thunder Dragon Clan as a way of thanking you for your protection."

"Thank you, Saint..." The flying boat flew out of the void and landed above the Golden Light Temple in Golden City. The Thunder Dragon Ancestor's words of gratitude were stuck in his throat as he stared in astonishment at the city that had become ruins before him.

"Huh? Lost?" The nine Thunder Dragon prodigies responsible for pulling the cart were also completely bewildered, as they hadn't gone the wrong way.

After half a year, how did Golden City become like this?

Lin Jing frowned, and in the next instant, three profound auras permeated the city. One of them was very familiar to Lin Jing; it was Master Wumo of the Demon Extermination Temple, a white-robed monk.

The other one was the immortal monk of Jinguang Temple, but at this moment he was far from the weak and frail appearance of someone whose lifespan was about to run out; he was full of vitality.

The last one was a nun named Kongxuan, Master Jingxin of the Buddhist order.

When the Thunder Dragon Ancestor and Lin Jing arrived, the three Void Profound Monks walked out of the ruins of the Golden Light Temple together.

"We meet again," Master Wumo smiled.

The Immortal Monk glanced at Lin Jing and the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, and politely clasped his hands together, saying, "Hehe, you've arrived. A few days ago, the demonic cultivators of the Gu God Sect came to steal the Golden Light Gu, causing this Buddhist City to suffer..."

"The Gu God Sect has arrived? Is it Elder Feng Gu or Sect Leader Yang Qiancheng?" Lin Jing's heart stirred.
