Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 342 Stone Golem Gu

Having learned of Lingyue Sword Immortal's whereabouts, Lin Jing dusted himself off and went to find the abbot of Bodhi Temple.

"I have come with sincerity. How long do you Buddhist sect intend to discuss this? My time is also very precious. If it doesn't work out, then forget it."

Compared to the green Bodhi tree, the key to activate the immortal artifact is clearly more important, and Lin Jing does not want such a treasure to fall into the hands of the Netherworld Palace.

As far as he knew, the Lord of the Netherworld Palace and the Lord of the Corpse Sect were fellow disciples, taught by the same master.

This was a secret known to very few, and Lin Jing was unaware of it at first. It was only after the Demon Emperor destroyed the Yin Corpse Sect that he was told about it.

The two brothers, Bento and his apprentice, have a pretty good relationship...

Since the Netherworld Palace is also a potential enemy, the Forest Realm will naturally not give it the opportunity to grow stronger.

"Holy Son, do not be anxious, do not be anxious." The abbot of Bodhi Temple smiled as he faced Lin Jing, who had come to his door.

"This old monk has already consulted with the Buddha, and we should receive a reply soon..."

"I don't have time to wait. Once I get a reply, send the Bodhi tree directly to this location." Lin Jing tossed out a map.

The incarnation of the Buddha was discussing the matter of Buddhism spreading its teachings among the demon race with the incarnation of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court. It was just a favor, a Bodhi tree, and Lin Jing didn't think the Buddha would refuse.

He didn't plan to wait there any longer and prepared to head towards Wudi City with Gao Sheng to catch up with Lingyue Sword Immortal.

"This old monk knows. Once the Buddha agrees, Bodhi Temple will immediately send the sacred tree there." The abbot of Bodhi Temple put his hands together, while wondering what Lin Jing was so anxious about.

…………

On that day, a huge spatial vortex appeared in the sky above Bodhi Temple, and nine thunder dragons pulled the spirit boat out of it.

In terms of cultivation level, the geniuses of the Thunder Dragon Clan may only be at the Nascent Soul stage, but in terms of speed, even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators may not be able to match them.

"Wow." Even though Gao Sheng was a second-generation immortal, he had never seen such a scene before. Not to mention him, even his maternal grandfather, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, was not qualified to have nine Thunder Dragon Clan prodigies pull the cart.

"Brothers, you've worked hard." Gao Sheng said to the Thunder Dragon prodigies after boarding the flying boat with Lin Jing's clone.

"Hold on tight, we're off." Lin Jing smiled, and then the thunder dragons roared, and accompanied by lightning and thunder in the sky, the flying boat was like a celestial light shuttling through the high-altitude clouds.

With the help of the nine Thunder Dragon prodigies, they traveled at an exceptionally fast pace, arriving at the edge of the Western Desert in just a few days, where they could see the Martial Emperor City, known as the number one city in the world, in the distance.

This Martial Emperor City is enormous and magnificent, with the entire city surrounded by walls tens of meters high. It truly lives up to its name as a city-shaped immortal artifact, and is several times more splendid than the capital of an ancient kingdom.

"Let's go down." On the flying boat, Lin Jing said to Gao Sheng.

While entry and exit within Martial Emperor City weren't as strictly controlled as in the ancient capitals, this only applied to humans. Lin Jing had the Thunder Dragon Clan's prodigies remain in place. This time, the search for the Cold Moon Sword Immortal was purely for finding the Thunder Dragon Clan; there was no need for a high-profile entry into the city.

He and Gao Sheng walked together toward the city gate of Wudi City. As they got closer, Lin Jing saw the iconic stone legion of Wudi City!

On the city walls, countless stone soldiers stood, gazing outwards. Each stone figure resembled a battle-hardened general, exuding a bloodthirsty aura. "By the way, you should have three kinds of rare Gu on you now, right?" Gao Sheng couldn't help but ask upon seeing the stone army.

"Elder Lei Gu of the Gu God Sect should have died in Tongtian City as well. Did you also get your hands on his Lei Jie Gu?"

Lin Jing nodded: "Yes, that's three types now, but I don't know if there's a chance to collect the other rare Gu..."

"It seems that the Stone Man Gu exists in this Martial Emperor City, but it's not easy to get your hands on it..."

The stone soldiers on the walls of Wudi City are the work of the Stone Man Gu, one of the Ten Great Strange Gu.

The core of the Stone Man Gu is its "petrification poison," which can completely petrify any living being poisoned by the Gu, turning them into a slave controlled by the Gu worm.

However, the intractable problem of the Stone Man Gu does not lie in this point.

The Stone Man Gu is a venomous insect that is adept at burrowing underground and resembles an earthworm. Therefore, the container of the Stone Man Gu possesses an almost insurmountable earth burrowing technique, which allows it to burrow to extremely deep underground to live, hide, and cultivate. This earth burrowing technique ensures that the container of the Stone Man Gu can avoid the threats of most powerful enemies.

Secondly, the poison of the Stone Man Gu can quickly "kill the earth veins" and poison the spiritual veins. It is not only effective on people, but also on the earth veins. Therefore, it is very convenient and difficult to defend against to use this Gu to destroy the foundation of a sect.

"Actually, it's simple in some ways, but difficult in others," Gao Sheng said from the side.

"Although the Stone Man Gu is in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion of Martial Emperor City, the City Lord of Martial Emperor City, Martial Emperor, would definitely not want such a thing."

"Therefore, after Martial Emperor City obtained the Stone Man Gu, it has always been used by different city lords' cultivators."

"The current owner of the Stone Man Gu is Wan Renzong, the youngest disciple of Emperor Wu."

"I've heard that Wan Renzong is naturally combative and prefers contests with prizes. I wonder if he has the guts to use the stone goblin that my senior brother gave him as a prize."

"This Stone Man Gu was in the hands of his senior brother a few years ago, but after the Golden List was released, he gave it away in order to make his junior brother stronger."

Lin Jing laughed: "You mean, you want me, a Golden Core cultivator, to challenge Wan Renzong, the successor of the Martial Emperor who is currently sixth on the Fortune Ranking and has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"

Although Wan Renzong is the youngest of the four successors of Emperor Wu, his cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage!
Gao Sheng laughed and scratched his head, saying, "That's why I said it's difficult in some ways, but difficult in others."

"However, this is indeed a method. If the Stone Man Gu is still in the hands of the three Void Profound stage disciples of the Martial Emperor, it will be difficult for me to obtain it. But if it is in the hands of this youngest disciple in the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps I can really entice him to a duel..."

"Huh?" Gao Sheng was stunned. You're serious? A Golden Core cultivator fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator? No, that's not right. The dragon carp in the forest realm has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so a Nascent Soul cultivator fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Lin Jing glanced at him and said, "I'm willing to try. If I can't beat them, I'll just become a Nascent Soul cultivator myself."

Now that he has mastered the Heavenly Demon Body, he plans to temporarily reach the Nascent Soul stage to cause trouble for the ancient princes and princesses. He might even take on the Martial Emperor's successor, but only if the youngest successor of the Martial Emperor is willing to gamble with him.

As they walked, the two paid the spirit stones required to enter the city and successfully entered Martial Emperor City. However, as soon as they entered the city, Lin Jing suddenly remembered something.

Lin Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I almost forgot, I killed a prodigy from Martial Emperor City in the cave before. Although I used a fake identity, it's not hard to imagine that I could do it now... I've investigated, and the other party's blood relatives have been wanting revenge, saying that the hatred of killing one's son is irreconcilable. Wouldn't you say I'm walking into a trap?"
