Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 325 First Appearance on the List
After blasting Dao Hui away with the power of the Ghost Bride, Lin Jing remained calm.

Although the Divine Control Technique consumes a great deal of energy, it cannot withstand the immense power of his 20,000-year lifespan, which is as vast as an ocean.

"Senior Immortal, rest assured, I promised Master Wumo that I would not harm any Buddhist prodigies during this inheritance trial. This palm strike is merely to demonstrate to this fellow Daoist whether I can utilize the power of ghosts and gods." Lin Jing bowed to the Immortal Monk with one hand.

Having said that, he looked at the other Buddhist prodigies.

"In that case, no one should be able to compete with me for the Golden Light Gu."

"It's gone, it's gone." The Immortal Monk gave a bitter smile and looked at the Dao Hui Monk who had only fainted.

He wondered to himself just what kind of monster this Holy Son of the Demon Court was.

It's one thing to be able to seal away the Void Spirit, but to actually be able to control her power, and control it so skillfully.

Could Lin Jing be the reincarnation of this ghost bride's husband?

It seems this Golden Light Gu has no choice but to be given to this Holy Son of the Demon Court.

The Immortal Monk believed that if he reneges on his promise and shows favoritism towards the Buddhist disciples under these circumstances, it wouldn't be long before the powerful figures from the Demon Court would come to the Western Desert to demand an explanation.

Moreover, Lin Jing has not been without contribution to the Western Desert. At least he helped the Buddhist sect get rid of a Void Profound Ghost. Therefore, even if the Golden Light Gu is handed over to Lin Jing, it is not too much of a loss.

The Immortal Monk sighed inwardly; this ending was not entirely unacceptable.

"Thank you very much, Senior Immortal." Lin Jing bowed respectfully.

"Senior, could you please hand over the Golden Light Gu to me now?"

"Um……"

The Immortal Monk nodded. Fortunately, this prodigy of the Demon Court did not seem to be an evil person. The Yin Corpse Sect was destroyed because of him. Now, he was in a hurry to ask for the Golden Light Gu in order to pursue the Gu God Sect's experts. If Lin Jing's obsession with the strange Gu could lead him to destroy the Gu God Sect, then the Immortal Monk felt that he had done a good deed.

A moment later, Lin Jing took the Golden Light Gu from the Buddhist temple.

After Lin Jing left, Master Wumo looked at the Immortal Monk who was about to die and said, "Not only did you pass on the Golden Light Gu to him, but you also passed on your insights into the Immortal Golden Body to him. Aren't you afraid that this Holy Son of the Demon Court will eventually go astray with your inheritance?"

The Immortal Monk shook his head and said, "His luck is unparalleled; he can even control ethereal ghosts. Since that's the case, why not forge a good relationship with him? Besides, won't you also pass on your Buddhist light technique to him?"

"However..." He looked at the Fortune Ranking in the sky, only to see that Lin Jing, who had defeated Monk Dao Hui, was still not on the list...

"He's relying too much on external forces? After all, it's the power of a Void Profound level ghost god, and the Fortune Ranking didn't attribute that power to him. Perhaps he needs to use his pet beast to defeat other geniuses in order to plunder their fortune," said the Immortal Monk.

"Perhaps," Master Wumo said, unconcerned about the matter, as Lin Jing's potential meant it was only a matter of time.

After obtaining the Golden Light Gu, Lin Jing didn't care that he hadn't successfully made it onto the Fortune Ranking. His primary task now was to pursue the Wind Gu Elder of the Gu God Sect...

According to the Immortal Monk, it was Elder Feng Gu who led several of his disciples to invade Jin Guang Temple. Although it was a pity that the leader of the Gu God Sect did not come, Lin Jing still found Feng Gu extremely rare.

Therefore, after completing the task given by the Demon Emperor, Lin Jing did not leave the Western Desert. Instead, accompanied by the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, he searched for the Wind Gu Elder's whereabouts, hoping that the other party was still in the Western Desert!
Moreover, the dragon carp has not yet successfully broken through, and we still have to wait for it to do so for a while.

…………

half a month later.

Burial Immortal Volcano. Burial Immortal Volcano is one of the ten forbidden areas of the Tianyuan Continent, famous for burning solar essence fire powerful enough to kill even immortals.

This place is extremely dangerous. Flames often erupt spontaneously, and if one approaches rashly, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could be burned to death on the spot.

However, such dangerous places are not necessarily places of absolute death.

For cultivators with special physiques or special techniques, it is also a treasure trove for cultivation.

For example, the Sun Temple's Sun Sutra can effectively resist the harsh environment of the Burial Immortal Volcano and turn this terrifying solar essence into its own.

Any cultivator who has mastered the Sun Sutra to a high level will initially be qualified to come to the outer perimeter of the Burial Immortal Volcano and feel the power of the sun. If one has mastered the Sun Sutra to a high level at the Nascent Soul stage, that would be even more perfect. In this way, one would not even need to refine an external avatar, but could directly comprehend the power of heaven and earth inside and outside the Burial Immortal Volcano through the Sun Sutra and condense the Sun Primordial Spirit.

"Lin Jing..." At this moment, a figure flew rapidly over the Western Desert. It was none other than Dao Hui, the proud monk of the Sun Temple, whom Lin Jing had defeated with the power of the Ghost Bride. His face was gloomy, and he was extremely angry about the matter of the Golden Light Temple.

"Demon Court Saint Son, await my ascension to godhood."

Monk Daohui could not accept that he had lost to the Holy Son of the Demon Court, especially since the matter had been circulating throughout the Western Desert for the past half month, with rumors spreading that Lin Jing had defeated him and obtained the Golden Light Gu inheritance.

Although intelligent people could tell from the changes in the rankings on the Golden List that Lin Jing had been defeated by external forces, there were still many ignorant people who believed that this Buddhist prodigy was inferior to the Holy Son of the Demon Court. Dao Hui, a monk who valued his own reputation and the reputation of Buddhism, could not accept this.

However, he did not immediately seek revenge, as he did not believe that a Core Formation cultivator like Lin Jing could seal the Void Profound Ghost for long.

Therefore, he plans to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the Burial Immortal Volcano. At that time, he will not only seek guidance from the Forest Realm, but also from the even stronger Demon Court Saintess.

"Why is the solar power around the Burial Immortal Volcano so much weaker?"

Under immense pressure, Monk Daohui approached the Burial Immortal Volcano. However, as soon as he got close, he noticed something strange. In the Golden Age, with the revival of spiritual energy, the fire of the Burial Immortal Volcano should have been burning even more terrifyingly. Why did it feel so much weaker?

It didn't take him long to discover the culprit behind all this, because a demonic power that seemed to have just formed a nascent soul suddenly erupted from a volcano. The terrifying demonic power almost instantly led Dao Hui to conclude that at least a demon king with ancestral bloodline had been born!

"Impossible. Demon King stage... no, even Demon Core stage can come to Burial Immortal Volcano to cultivate? Could it be the Golden Crow clan?" He couldn't believe it and flew over quickly, wanting to find out, but what awaited him was a female voice that came from somewhere.

"You've just broken through and a decent-looking opponent has appeared. Little Carp, go and try your luck against him."

"What the hell is that?" Before Monk Daohui could react, a carp emerged from the volcano, riding on waves of fire, and stared at him with sharp eyes.

"Boobo~"

Monk Daohui's heart sank; he'd seen a ghost...

…………

Half a day later, many cultivators discovered that the top of the Fortune Ranking had changed, but the details of the change were bizarre to countless cultivators.

Ranking 12 on the Fortune List: Dragon Carp, Cultivation Level: Early Nascent Soul Stage, Reason for Ranking: Defeated the Buddhist Sun God Body Dao Hui Monk!

"What's going on? Who is this dragon carp? How could it defeat a Nascent Soul Grandmaster while only at the early Nascent Soul stage? Is it a prodigy among demon beasts? Which faction does it belong to? Is it the son of the Demon Emperor?"

"It doesn't sound like a name, it sounds more like the name of a race, a carp with dragon blood! What's going on? It's a demon king, not some mindless monster, doesn't it have a name?"

"Dragon Carp... Could it be the rare beast of Lin Jing, the Holy Son of the Demon Court...? No, Lin Jing himself hasn't even made the list yet. How could his pet be on the list alone...? Could it be that there was no beast tamer present, and Monk Dao Hui was killed alone...? That shouldn't be the case. It must be another carp after all..."
