Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 327 Encountering a Ghost

Lin Jing felt that what the Thunder Dragon Ancestor said made sense.

These are no longer just child's play with beasts in their own sect; they are now the pride of demon beasts, facing cultivators across the entire continent. They can no longer be called by their childhood nicknames; they must be given prestigious names that represent their domineering nature.

He was just about to ask Ancestor Leilong if there were any powerful fortune masters in the Western Desert when suddenly, the tiger tooth that the Demon Emperor had given him began to move.

"It is His Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Lin Jing made the Thunder Dragon Ancestor remain silent for the time being.

"Did you obtain the Golden Light Gu?"

After Lin Jing took out the tiger tooth, the Demon Emperor's questioning voice came from the other side.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"Alright, Little Carp has also broken through, you should have sensed it by now."

"Hmm, I even saw its battle record." Lin Jing looked up at the sky.

"..." The Demon Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "The Immortal Fire is indeed powerful. That monk was no match for it. However, the burden brought by the Immortal Fire is also very obvious. Even rare beasts and ancestral bloodlines cannot withstand it."

"In any case, you should come to the Burial Immortal Volcano first. I will wait for you outside the volcano with it."

After saying that, the Demon Emperor ended the conversation.

Lin Jing's expression was strange. What had happened?

He sensed that the dragon carp was still alive and felt relieved.

With the Demon Emperor by his side, how could anything possibly happen?

“It seems it’s time to return to Qingzhou. Let’s go and meet up with His Majesty the Demon Emperor,” he said to Ancestor Thunder Dragon.

"Aren't you going to find Elder Feng Gu anymore???" Old Ancestor Lei Long asked in surprise.

Lin Jing shook his head: "There's been no news for so long. I guess they left the Western Desert after being defeated. After all, this is Buddhist territory. If they don't succeed the first time, they're unlikely to have a second chance."

“Alright…” Ancestor Leilong nodded. Very well, after the Ghostly Weapon, he had wasted so much time on useless work again. Ancestor Leilong realized that he was indeed not good at finding people.

"After returning, let the Ice Soul Gu devour the Golden Light Gu..."

"By the way, I will use the power of the Demon Court to help you investigate ancient matters, so please rest assured."

Lin Jing looked at a red figure inside the flying boat.

The Ghost Bride.

After leaving Jin Guang Temple, Lin Jing could no longer withstand the power of the Ghost Bride and released her from the Buddha Demon Pearl.

Since the Ghost Bride was also a formidable fighter, in order to better deal with the elder of the Gu God Cult, Lin Jing temporarily asked her to stay and see if she could be of any help.

Now that we've given up on finding Elder Feng Gu and are preparing to leave the Western Desert, it's time for us to part ways.

"Thank you." The ghost bride nodded, then vanished into the void, thus completing their respective contracts...

"Let's go."

After watching the ghost bride leave, Lin Jing sighed slightly. He felt that he and the ghost bride were destined to be together, and this connection would certainly not end here.

……

Shortly after.

Outside the Burial Immortal Volcano.

The area around the Burial Immortal Volcano, like the Misty Forest, is almost completely isolated from the world. The extreme heat in the surrounding area can even scorch outward-looking divine sense.

Even before getting close to the volcano, Lin Jing felt immense pressure, as if his whole body was about to melt.

Thanks to the Thunder Dragon Ancestor's magic, the high temperature was effectively blocked.

Upon their arrival, Lin Jing and his group successfully reunited with the Demon Emperor.

"Dragon carp..."

Immediately afterwards, they saw a roasted fish lying at the Demon Emperor's feet, its entire body charred black.

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, this..." After reuniting, Lin Jing originally thought he would see the incredibly smug Dragon Carp, and he expected the Dragon Carp to be unable to resist showing off its achievements to the Pine Leaf Rat and Ice Soul Gu...

To everyone's surprise, he only received a perfectly cooked grilled fish from His Majesty the Demon Emperor.

"It fought with a monk before, and it created a flame of celestial fire level, which severely injured that monk."

"However, the power of the immortal fire was too great, and it also suffered a certain degree of backlash. Although it was not fatal, it may need to rest for some time."

"I underestimated the power of the immortal fire..." the Demon Emperor said casually.

"Your Majesty, please save him!" Lin Jing cried out in anguish.

"You are powerless to heal the wound caused by the immortal fire?"

"No, it's better to let it recover slowly on its own. Only in this way can it gradually become proficient in controlling the immortal fire," the Demon Emperor explained.

She crossed her arms, acting as if the dragon carp's miserable state had nothing to do with her.

"Alright..." Since it's for Longli's own good, then we can only make Longli suffer a little longer.

Beside him, within Lin Jing's body, the Ice Soul Gu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Fortunately, the dragon carp has lost consciousness.

Otherwise, it was certain that the dragon carp that broke through and made it onto the gold list would definitely show its disrespect.

"What about Monk Daohui?" Lin Jing suddenly asked.

"Could he have already burned to death?"

Lin Jing spoke nervously, realizing that he had shown mercy and hadn't killed the monk. If he had died at the hands of Long Li, the monk would have been too unlucky.

If he himself suffered such a backlash from the Immortal Flame, wouldn't Monk Daohui be in even worse shape?

"It's alright, that monk had something to protect him, but it was taken away by a bald guy from the Sun Temple," the Demon Emperor said, indicating to Lin Jing not to worry.

"It seems we'll have to wait a while longer before we can get the dragon carp to start refining pills," Lin Jing said.

"No rush. The area around the Burial Immortal Volcano is rich in the power of heaven and earth, which will actually help it recover from its injuries and master the immortal fire. After you have mastered the immortal fire here, you can return to Qingzhou."

The Demon Emperor said, "Once it becomes familiar with the Immortal Fire and can use it to refine pills, the Transformation Pill that allowed the Demon Ancestor to take human form should not be a problem. Given its current condition, even if it goes back, it will not be able to refine any high-level pills."

"As you command." Lin Jing nodded, then asked, "And what about Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor?"

"My avatar will still be in the Western Desert, but I won't be accompanying you. The bald man who rescued that little monk earlier has some business with me, so I'll go catch up with him." The Demon Emperor said casually, "Before I leave, I'll create a barrier that will allow you to move around!"

Lin Jing was speechless. Could this bald man be the leader of Buddhism, the current Sun Buddha of the Sun Temple?

.........

For the next few days, Lin Jing stayed by Long Li's side to help her recover from her injuries.

It remained in a coma.

During this time, the most vocal one was the Ice Soul Gu. Seeing the Dragon Carp on the list, it couldn't resist going out to kill the prodigy alone and completely stirred up trouble, but was stopped by Lin Jing.

A mere Gu worm at the Golden Core stage has no chance against a prodigy. He should wait until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, Lin Jing was unaware that after leaving him, the Ghost Bride did not return to the Ghost City, but instead wandered alone in the Western Desert. Although Lin Jing offered to help, she also wanted to find traces of the past on her own.

Until.

The ghost bride, in the sky, saw the figure of a female cultivator wielding a sword, and her gaze momentarily wavered.

"like……"

"The back view looks similar."

She descended swiftly. At the same time, Feng Ning, the Sword Immortal of Lingyue, who had just slain a demon and had come from an ancient kingdom to exorcise evil spirits, looked at the suddenly appearing powerful ghost with a sense of impending doom, and her expression changed.

"Quickly use the life-saving sword intent given by Master!" Lingyue Sword Immortal's sword spirit exclaimed, looking nervously at the Ghost Bride. However, the Ghost Bride's next words stunned the sword spirit.

"Is that you, my husband?"

Lingyue Sword Immortal, Sword Spirit: Who are you talking about?

"I've encountered a ghost." Lingyue Sword Immortal's mind was in a mess, feeling that she had encountered a ghost in every sense of the word.
