Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 328 The Lag Fish

“Void and mysterious ghosts…”

Despite the arrival of a powerful ghost, the Sword Immortal Lingyue remained relatively calm.

After all, she is now a disciple of a top-tier sword cultivator, personally instructed by the Daoist master.

He has many ways to protect himself.

Among them was a life-saving sword intent for those at the Dao Inquiry stage, a gift from her master, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.

However, now, the Sword Immortal Lingyue is having some difficulty judging the situation of this Void Mystic Ghost.

Has consciousness become confused?

Calling herself her husband?
As a virgin, even if I were to marry, I would never marry a ghost bride.

"Wait!"

"A ghost bride!?"

Suddenly, the Sword Immortal Lingyue thought of something: the Ghost Bride. In this Western Desert, there seems to be only one Void Profound Ghost Bride.

She heard the rumors a few days after arriving in the Western Desert.

The Longevity Body Forest Realm has also arrived in the Western Desert, seemingly for the Golden Light Gu.

In order to obtain the Golden Light Gu, Lin Jing used Buddhist magic to seal a Void Mystic Ghost Bride, defeating countless Buddhist prodigies and successfully obtaining the Gu, making him famous throughout the Western Desert.

Subsequently, something resembling a beast from the forest defeated Monk Daohui, sparking numerous speculations.

As for Lin Jing's affairs, the Sword Immortal Lingyue was already used to them.

However, could this ghost bride be...?

"What did you do to Lin Jing?" she questioned, her first thought being that the ghost bride had broken through Lin Jing's seal and escaped.

If that's the case, wouldn't the forest be in danger?

"Lin Jing...?"

The ghost bride was still observing the figure of the Sword Immortal Lingyue and sensing her aura, wondering if she was the person from her memories.

Unexpectedly, this sword cultivator was actually acquainted with Lin Jing.

Could it be Lin Jing's lover?

The ghost bride couldn't accept it; her eyes turned red!
Although it now seems that the swordsman in front of me is not the person I know.

However, the two are still too similar.

Descendants?

Reincarnation?

The ghost bride is unknown, but we can't let Lin Jing have her... Why is this kid everywhere?

"Don't worry, he's fine," the ghost bride said through gritted teeth.

After examining him, the Sword Immortal Lingyue asked, "Weren't you sealed away by him? Why are you here?"

She secretly sent a message to Lin Jing.

However, they discovered that they could not contact Lin Jing at all.

There are two possibilities: one is that it has exceeded the scope of the magic weapon's connection.

Lin Jing has already left the Western Desert.

The second possibility is that the forest is located in a special place that blocks the communication of magical artifacts...

"He must have gone to the Burial Immortal Volcano. You can't contact him from there," the Ghost Bride said calmly, noticing the Sword Immortal Lingyue's subtle actions.

“It’s too dangerous for you to be carrying a spirit sword with a weapon spirit in the Western Desert. There’s a creature that eats weapon spirits nearby. If you don’t mind, let me stay by your side and we can talk things over slowly.”

…………

Burial of Immortals Volcano!

At this time, Lin Jing was unaware that after leaving him, the Ghost Bride had an encounter with the Sword Immortal Lingyue.

He was now listening to the slightly recovered dragon carp excitedly explaining how it had suppressed the Buddhist disciple of the Sun Temple. The dragon carp didn't look like it had just recovered from its serious injuries at all; all it had was a restless heart, eager to go out and fight someone again.

What's the point of practicing Immortal Flame alone? It's about tempering the Immortal Flame in battles against the most outstanding talents on the Golden List!

"Calm down. You can't control the immortal fire at all. What if someone gets burned to death?"

"Besides, His Majesty the Demon Emperor has set up a barrier here. Others can't get in, and it seems we can't get out either."

"We can only obediently practice here and wait for His Majesty the Demon Emperor to return." Lin Jing shook his head.

"Pop..." The light in the dragon carp's eyes disappeared.

We can't get out, is that so...

Now that he has such great strength, Long Li doesn't want to spend his time boringly honing his magic. He'd rather cause trouble like he did back in Tongtian City. Unfortunately, the current environment doesn't seem to allow it.

"Pop—" It roared to the sky, expressing its emotions and hoping to add some excitement to its peaceful life.

then.

boom.

Sudden changes occur.

Lin Jing was stunned and looked up at the sky.

The dragon carp also cast a sharp glance.

A familiar vortex appeared in the sky, causing the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, who was guarding the edge of the barrier, to open his eyes wide and stop instructing the nine Thunder Dragon prodigies!

"The grotto-heaven has descended; it was His Highness the Holy Son who brought it here."

"Unfortunately, His Highness the Holy Son has attracted a Golden Core level grotto-heaven, so the nine of you will not be able to get a share of the opportunity!"

The grotto descended extremely quickly, and upon seeing this, the dragon carp's gaze changed from initial boredom to surprise.

Cave!

The Carp Emperor knew that it possessed some luck. The monotonous cultivation in the volcano was too boring. Going to the cave to compete for opportunities was what the Carp Emperor should do.

With a boom, the grotto-heaven enveloped the forest. The dragon carp also retreated back into its beast-taming space. No matter how powerful the Demon Emperor's barrier was, it couldn't escape the grotto-heaven opportunity set up by the Immortal Palace.

Lin Jing was also quite surprised when he was teleported. This cave world... he seemed to have discovered a pattern.

Whenever I arrive at a new place and break through to a new realm, it seems that I will soon attract a grotto-heaven. This time... after breaking through to the Golden Core stage and arriving in the Western Desert, as expected, I attracted a grotto-heaven again.

This time, however, Lin Jing no longer needs to be timid or hesitant. He doesn't need to hide his identity or worry about retaliation after taking away someone else's opportunity. He can now fully unleash his potential within the cave.

Swish.

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor and the others watched helplessly as Lin Jing was enveloped by the pillar of light from the cave and teleported away, their faces filled with envy.

But a moment later, with a "pop," it seemed as if something unexpected had happened.

Within the white beam of light, the figure of a red carp was ejected. The dragon carp stared blankly at the beam of light, utterly bewildered.

It tried desperately to crash back in, but it passed right through and nothing happened.

The dragon carp stood frozen in place, with a bad feeling creeping over it.

"This..." Ancestor Lei Long flew over and explained, "Your Highness Long Li, this seems to be a grotto-heaven for the Golden Core stage. You have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so you cannot enter."

"This has never happened before... Although a Golden Core stage beast tamer who contracts with a Nascent Soul stage pet is considered to be one with it, is it because the priority of realm repulsion is higher...?"

"Pop??" The dragon carp looked at it, "Can't get in? You say you can't get in?"

The Beastmaster, the Leaf Rat, and the Ice Soul Gu all got in, so you're saying it's the only one that can't get in?
"That seems to be the case. Prince Longli, there's no need to feel sorry. With your immortal fire now, you might not even find such a high-level opportunity in the grotto-heavens. It's not a huge loss," the Thunder Dragon Ancestor comforted him.

The dragon carp trembled slightly. Could it really be?

I'm smart, don't lie to me.

"Sigh." Ancestor Leilong looked at the pillar of light and felt extremely troubled. The task that His Majesty the Demon Emperor gave to the Holy Son was to help Prince Longli master the Immortal Flame during this period of time. Now that the Holy Son has been dragged away by the cave heaven, it seems a bit dangerous for Prince Longli to cultivate on his own.

"Since that's the case, Your Highness Dragon Carp, I will accompany you in your cultivation from now on. Didn't you want to hone your Immortal Flame in battle just now? It just so happens that I haven't come into contact with Immortal Flame either, so I'll fight you!" said Ancestor Thunder Dragon.

The dragon carp fell silent, looking towards the cave. It still felt it had suffered a huge loss. The beast tamer and a group of companions went in to compete with a bunch of weak Golden Core cultivators for rare opportunities, while it had to fight the Void Profound Old Dragon outside. What kind of situation was this…?
