Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 326 True Name
West Desert.

Lin Jing and his group were also eyeing the Fortune Ranking.

Lin Jing, who had searched for Elder Feng Gu for a long time in the Western Desert without success, finally received an unexpected surprise.

Dragon Carp has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!

His bloodline strength also reached the Ancestral level after refining the Solar Essence Fire!

This means that, as long as it doesn't perish along the way, it can almost smoothly advance to the realm of the Demon Ancestor and establish its own bloodline clan.

The benefit this brought to Lin Jing was that his cultivation level, which was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, was also boosted to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm due to the breakthrough of the dragon carp.

The sudden feedback on his cultivation level allowed Lin Jing to quickly sit down and digest it.

Once he had stabilized his cultivation level, he witnessed the changes on the Golden Ranking after being reminded by Ancestor Leilong.

"Daohui, isn't that the monk from Taiyang Temple? The one with his head on fire?"

"Prince Longli...why did you get into a fight with him?"

"And...they even won?"

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor was astonished.

He actually managed to kill the prodigy Buddhist disciple of Taiyang Temple in a single battle!
Although the monk Dao Hui suffered a considerable loss at Lin Jing's hands, it was because he had the help of the Ghost Bride. As for Long Li, he was just a pet beast under the Holy Son's command!

In the eyes of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, this Monk Dao Hui was by no means weak.

With a Nascent Soul cultivation at its peak, ranking twelfth on the Fortune Golden List, possessing a physique that ranks among the top twenty on the Divine Body List—the Sun God Body—and the top-tier Buddhist scripture, the Sun Sutra… Although I really don’t want to admit it, my own Thunder Dragon Clan’s crown prince, at the Nascent Soul stage, was definitely no match for this monk Dao Hui.

And this Buddhist prodigy... was actually defeated by someone of a higher level.

As expected of a rare beast with the body of a demigod...

"He probably wanted to go to the Burial Immortal Volcano to comprehend the power of heaven and earth and become a god, and that's when he ran into the dragon carp."

Lin Shengzi chuckled.

To advance from Nascent Soul to Deity, one must comprehend the power of heaven and earth.

The power of heaven and earth is also divided into levels.

The power of wind and rain is a relatively weak form of the power of heaven and earth.

The power of the sun and moon, on the other hand, is the highest level of power of heaven and earth.

Monk Daohui cultivates the Sun Sutra and possesses the body of a Sun God, so he would naturally want to come to the Burial Immortal Volcano to comprehend the power of the sun and transform into a god.

With his background, reaching the Nascent Soul stage should be no problem for him.

However, it seems they were a bit unlucky to encounter a dragon carp. I wonder how things are going now.

In Lin Jing's view, it was not surprising that the dragon carp could defeat him.

In the battle of Tongtian City, Long Li used the souls of many Void Profound, Divine Transformation, and Nascent Soul cultivators as nourishment to perfect the Netherworld Ghost Fire Technique, its quality estimated to be second only to the Netherworld Palace Master.

Its rare beast powers allow it to fuse countless different flames, using any one flame as the main element to make its power even stronger, which can be described as extremely abnormal...

After all, the quality of its Netherworld Ghost Fire was already at the limit of the lower realm. Furthermore, by fusing with other strange fires through the divine power of rare beasts, its own flames had long since reached the level of 'quasi-immortal fire'.

This is precisely why it was able to enter the Burial Immortal Volcano relatively smoothly. The Yang Flame it possesses is a lower-level flame of the Solar Essence Fire. By using other flames as nourishment to synthesize a Yang Flame of the Quasi-Immortal Fire level, it can better adapt to the Solar Essence Fire.

This is the key to its ability to enter the Burial Immortal Volcano and attempt to refine the Solar Essence Fire. Rather than refining it, it's more accurate to say it's upgrading its own Yang Flame. Compared to its own inherent strength, the Demon Emperor's assistance is secondary. Otherwise, any other Golden Core cultivator, even with the assistance of the Dao Seeking Realm, would be unable to refine the Solar Essence Fire.

Now it seems that the dragon carp has perfectly refined the essence of the sun's fire, and with all its flames fused through the Flame Emperor's divine power, it has definitely reached the level of a true immortal fire!
"With the Immortal Flame in hand, among those of the same level, no one can defeat it unless they rely on a powerful external force."

"Although there is external force within Dao Hui's body, the Burial Immortal Volcano is a forbidden zone for ghosts. The ghost and god power within him cannot emerge at all. He can only fight with the Sun God Body and the Sun Scripture. Although these two physiques and techniques are strong, they can only be crushed when facing the immortal fire."

Celestial fire.

Now, the dragon carp is invincible.

In the Tianyuan Continent, among pure natural forces, perhaps only the quality of the Ascension Tribulation can compare to it.

The power corresponding to celestial fire is celestial lightning.

The representative of celestial lightning is heavenly tribulation.

However, not all heavenly tribulations are of the celestial grade.

Only the Ascension Tribulation, known as the strongest heavenly tribulation, has reached the level of immortality in terms of intensity and grade. It is the ultimate test that the immortal realm gives to cultivators in the lower realm.

As for the Void Tribulation, the Questioning Tribulation, the Transformation Tribulation, and the Heavenly Tribulation that the Thunder Tribulation Gu can trigger, they can only be said to have exerted part of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and can be considered as pseudo-immortal grade or quasi-immortal thunder.

Otherwise, even a cultivator at the Void Profound or Dao Seeking realms wouldn't be able to successfully overcome a complete Celestial Lightning.

Now, the dragon carp, possessing true immortal fire, although it was synthesized later and did not have innate immortal fire, is confident enough to ignore any heavenly tribulation except for the ascension tribulation.

"But none of that matters. The key question is, why did the pet beast make it onto the gold list before me..."

Lin Jing scratched his head.

However, this also allowed Lin Jing to understand the rules of the Golden List.

As long as the pet beast leaves him and fights without relying on his power as the beast tamer, it can defeat other geniuses on its own and be listed on the leaderboard, instead of having its achievements attributed to him as the beast tamer.

As for him, as a beast tamer, if he wants to be ranked, he can't just rely on his pets to defeat powerful enemies. He must also participate and make a contribution. In other words, he must at least use some beast taming techniques.

"No matter what, it's a good thing."

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Holy Son, and congratulations, Your Highness the Dragon Carp."

"However, Holy Son, doesn't His Highness Dragon Carp have a real name that is bound to his destiny? Why is it that the list shows his race name instead?"

After a while, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor asked the question that had been bothering him.

"This..." Lin Jing also fell into deep thought.

"I've heard that names chosen by some feng shui masters can enhance one's spiritual path... Back then, I thought I'd not choose a name for now, and wait until I met a powerful master to ask for a good name that could improve my fortune."

"I see. No wonder His Highness the Holy Son can raise his pet beasts so well, not even overlooking such a small detail." Ancestor Lei Long flattered him.

"And then?" it asked.

Lin Jing pondered, "Then we got used to calling them by their species names, like Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, Ice Soul Gu... and forgot to ask a feng shui master for a name."

Thunder Dragon Ancestor: "..."

The old man wiped his sweat and said, "With Your Highness's current status, finding a master who is proficient in the Dao of Fortune should be very easy. There should be many such masters in the Western Desert. Your Highness can ask for names for them when you have time. After all, they are all geniuses who have made it onto the Golden List of Fortune and represent the highest talent in the Tianyuan Realm. It would be too strange if they didn't have names."
