Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 323 Rushing for Time

“Your Highness, there is no need to worry. I used the Rejuvenation Buddhist Technique to temporarily restore my full strength and repel these demonic cultivators.”

"The Golden Light Gu is still sealed intact within the temple and has not fallen into the hands of the Demonic Sect."

"Now, all those who participated in the inheritance test have arrived and are waiting in the inheritance hall. His Highness the Holy Son is the last one..."

"His Highness the Holy Son has arrived, and we can finally begin the final test of inheritance."

It turns out that the Immortal Monk was experiencing a final burst of energy before death; no wonder his complexion has improved considerably.

However, what left Lin Jing speechless was that he wasn't worried that the Gu God Sect had stolen the Golden Light Gu.

Instead, they were concerned about who had come from the Gu God Cult.

If the sect leader who controls the Yang Gu and the guardian elder who controls the Feng Gu leave their base camp and come to this Western Desert, Lin Jing might just issue an order to send the Thunder Dragon Ancestor to find them and seize the rare Gu.

Compared to obtaining the Golden Light Gu, how much more satisfying would it be to acquire three extraordinary Gu in one go?

Since only a few days have passed, the other party might still be in the Western Desert! However, with the three powerful Buddhist sects of Jin Guang Temple now in charge, they definitely wouldn't dare to come again.

"You used the Reversal of Light Buddhist Technique, wouldn't that mean..." Old Ancestor Lei Long looked at the Immortal Monk. Humans are really fragile. Fortunately, he is a dragon, with a relatively long lifespan.

But while it was still lamenting, it didn't know it would soon be working overtime like a beast of burden again.

Since he couldn't find a match for the Void Mystic Ghost, the Holy Son mentally assigned the Void Mystic Gu Cultivator to the task.

"It's alright. Everyone dies eventually. Using the Rejuvenation Technique only accelerates the process. Given my current condition, I can still preside over the Golden Gu inheritance without any problem," the Immortal Monk said with a smile.

At this moment, both Abbess Jingxin and Master Wumo were paying close attention to Lin Jing's situation.

A powerful ghostly force was sensed emanating from Lin Jing.

They couldn't help but look at the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, wondering what kind of ghost Lin Jing had sealed away with the Thunder Dragon Ancestor's power.

Faced with the gazes of the two Void Profound Buddhist cultivators, Old Ancestor Leilong curled his lip... These bald monks definitely don't understand what it means to be a chosen one of destiny.

To be honest, it didn't have much hope at first that Lin Jing could seal the Void Spirit, but who knew that in the end it wouldn't even be useful in battle.

These guys are in for a surprise.

"In that case, let's not keep the other prodigies waiting." Lin Jing couldn't wait to begin the final test.

…………

Meanwhile, at Jinguang Temple, in the main hall of the temple.

Several Buddhist prodigies who had completed the previous trials gathered here.

Cultivation levels range from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

Qin Siyuan, the monk from Wudi City with whom Lin Jing had previously fought, was also here.

After some time apart, his cultivation level even broke through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps spurred on by Lin Jing.

However, among the group of prodigies, Qin Siyuan was not the most eye-catching one. Apart from him, a monk with flames burning on his bald head was the most conspicuous among them.

Dao Hui, the Son of the Sun, possesses an innate solar divine body and is a disciple of the Sun Temple.

“Master Daohui,” a young monk said, looking at him, “I thought your Sun Temple wasn’t interested in the Golden Light Gu. It seems I have no hope this time.”

"I just don't want Buddhist artifacts to fall into the hands of the demon race." Dao Hui, the Son of the Sun, opened his eyes and spoke slowly. "After all, that Holy Son of the Demon Court has also come to covet the Buddhist inheritance. I can't let him have his way. After hearing that some of the top Buddhist prodigies on the Golden List were defeated by him, I knew I had no choice but to come."

Beside him, Qin Siyuan narrowed his eyes, feeling attacked. He looked at Dao Hui and said, "First, I didn't lose. Second, the Golden Light Gu is a creation of the Demonic Sect, what kind of Buddhist inheritance is it? As the number one prodigy of Buddhism, you should go into the top ten of the Golden Ranking first. What are you pretending for here?"

"Calm down, calm down." The other Buddhist prodigies smiled wryly, knowing they were about to start arguing.

Everyone knew that Hui didn't particularly like Qin Siyuan, who had become a monk halfway through his life. After all, Qin Siyuan had broken the precepts many times and didn't seem to take Buddhism seriously. He wasn't truly devoted to Buddhism. However, because of his exceptional talent, the Buddhist sect was reluctant to give up on this genius Buddhist cultivator.

"Now that I have mastered the Sun Sutra, I will soon be able to transform into a deity. After I transform into a deity, I will naturally have a place in the top ten of the Golden List." Dao Hui was unconcerned about Qin Siyuan's provocation.

"The Great Completion of the Sun Sutra!"

The Buddhist prodigies were taken aback. The Sun Scripture was the temple's most treasured cultivation technique. It was said that once mastered, one could enter the Burial Immortal Volcano and transform into a god using the fire of the Burial Immortal. At that time, Dao Hui might actually be able to enter the top ten of the Golden List.

"It's not like there aren't any Nascent Soul cultivators in the top ten. Do you really need to be a Deity Transformation cultivator to get in? Even the Holy Maiden of the Demon Court entered the top ten at the Nascent Soul stage. Don't embarrass the Buddhist sect. The Holy Son of the Demon Court has also arrived. It's one thing to lose to the Holy Maiden of the Demon Court, but if you lose to the Holy Son of the Demon Court at the Golden Core stage next, let's see what excuse you have left."

Qin Siyuan disliked the hypocritical demeanor of some Buddhist disciples. He took out a chicken leg and started eating again.

"Just a Golden Core cultivator." Dao Hui glanced at Qin Siyuan indifferently. At the same time, Lin Jing, who was waiting for everyone, arrived at the Inheritance Hall under the guidance of three Buddhist experts.

The gazes of several Buddhist prodigies immediately fell upon Lin Jing.

Lin Jing remained unperturbed by the many hostile gazes he received.

He looked at the Immortal Monk and said, "I remember you said that the final test is to see who can seal the strongest ghost, right?"

"Yes." The Immortal Monk nodded.

Lin Jing looked at his old acquaintance Qin Siyuan and smiled, saying, "That Shura, what level was it when you didn't completely unseal the thing inside you last time?"

Qin Siyuan frowned and said, "There is a battle ghost at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage sealed inside my body. You escaped a calamity last time, but you won't be so lucky if we fight again."

"Peak of the Nascent Soul stage..." Lin Jing glanced around, and finally lingered for a few more seconds on the monk with flames burning on his head.

"It's similar to what I sensed. Among the people present, the one with the strongest sealed ghost within him should be him. The ghost within him has probably already reached the half-step Void Profound realm and has begun to refine the Void." Lin Jing looked at Dao Hui.

Lin Jing's divine sense, now enhanced by the supreme treasure Heavenly Demon Scroll and nourished by several Void Profound cultivators, has reached an extremely terrifying level. Even these Void Profound Buddhist cultivators might not have a stronger divine sense than him.

"What do you mean?" Qin Siyuan asked, frowning.

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, "What I mean is, if all the opponents are this strong, then there's no need to continue. Senior Immortal Monk, the ghosts inside them are too weak. It seems that this Golden Light Gu should indeed be handed over to me."

"Let's finish this as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry. Besides the Golden Light Gu, I also need to pursue the Gu God Cult and retrieve the remaining Gu worms."

"Your Highness, you..." When Lin Jing said these words, the Immortal Monk was stunned, but the next moment, everyone present changed color.

Even Master Wumo and Abbess Jingxin showed expressions of disbelief.

“I have sealed one of the three great Void Mysterious Ghosts recorded in Buddhism, the Ghost Bride, into the Buddha Demon Pearl. I think there shouldn’t be any ghosts here that are of a higher level than the ones I sealed. In that case, let’s keep things simple.”

He summoned the Buddha-Demon Pearl, and from within the transparent pearl, a ghost bride in a wedding dress, bound by Buddhist chains, came into everyone's view.

"How is this possible?" The Immortal Monk was stunned; this did not make sense.

Even if this Holy Son of the Demon Court is a Ghost Master instead of a Beast Tamer, there's no reason why he could seal the Void Profound Ghost!
