Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 349 Asking the Question is...
Before long, a near-immortal-grade immortal sword fell into the hands of the Sword Immortal Lingyue.

The Sword Immortal Lingyue knew that this immortal sword was the transformation of her master.

After obtaining the immortal sword, she circulated her cultivation technique and instantly experienced countless insights into the way of the sword.

These insights were obscure and difficult to understand, but holding the immortal sword, the Sword Immortal Lingyue had a feeling that as long as he used it, he would become a Sky-Splitting Sword Cultivator with the combat power of a Dao Seeking expert, as if his master had possessed him.

"Master said that after learning of the Second Generation Ancient Emperor's injury, the Gu God Sect and other forces made some unusual moves, wanting to investigate the veracity of the matter..."

"The snowfields are also stirring, eager to take revenge on the ancient kingdom."

"An ancient prince and princess, using the secret techniques of the True Dragon, temporarily took over the administration of the court in place of the second-generation ancient emperor, concentrating the fate of the entire nation upon their own shoulders..."

"The ancient kingdom is now facing threats from all sides. My master told me that we must hold off the Netherworld Palace until it recovers... In the current situation, if the Netherworld Palace successfully captures the artifact spirit, the ancient kingdom will be in danger."

Of the three major demonic sects, the one they hate the most is actually the ancient kingdom, since the ancient kingdom has repeatedly improved its national fortune by annihilating the demonic sects.

In comparison, other Dao-seeking forces and the three major demonic sects do not have much animosity towards each other, and the demonic sects would not provoke Dao-seeking forces without reason.

"It's the same on the Demon Court's side." Lin Jing and Lingyue Sword Immortal faced each other, both with furrowed brows.

"Intelligence has come from the Qingzhou Demon Court that the demon beasts of the Sea God Palace and the Misty Forest are putting pressure on the Demon Court. It will probably not be long before the demon beast army that comes to capture me arrives in the Western Desert."

"It's alright, with me here, even if the Yin-Yang Whale Emperor and the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor come, I might still have a fighting chance." Lingyue Sword Immortal held her master, feeling that she could perfectly mobilize her master's power.

"Forget it." Lin Jing smiled wryly and said, "Although you can use Senior Lietian's power, you should be careful. If you break the sword, it will be terrible if Senior Lietian doesn't wake up."

The immortal sword flashed with light, seemingly agreeing with Lin Jing's statement.

"Our top priority now is to find the spirit of the artifact. Once we find the ultimate immortal artifact, we can deter these treacherous individuals."

Feng Ning asked, "So, will your duel with Wan Renzong continue?"

"of course."

Lin Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a good opportunity to use this battle to deter the forces that covet the Demon Court."

The Heavenly Demon Body possesses this ability.

…………

Before they knew it, the date of the duel between Lin Jing and Wan Renzong, the successor of Emperor Wu, arrived.

In fact, the situation in Wudi City is much better than that in the Demon Court.

Although Emperor Wu was also seriously injured, Emperor Wu's city was not surrounded by enemies like the Demon Court.

Meanwhile, the situation in the Demon Court had already been learned by the Martial Emperor City.

Given the current state of the Demon Court, it is barely able to protect itself and poses no threat to the Martial Emperor City.

The powerful figures of Martial Emperor City originally thought that Lin Jing, the Holy Son of the Demon Court, would definitely cancel the challenge, slink away in disgrace, and hide away to avoid danger.

However, to Wan Renzong and the others' surprise, Lin Jing's clone showed no reaction at all these past few days, seemingly still waiting for the date of the duel.

"If he wants war, then let's fight."

Although Wan Renzong, the successor of Emperor Wu, had no intention of fighting at the moment, on the day of the duel, he still stood on the city wall atop Emperor Wu City, patiently waiting for Lin Jing's arrival.

Many cultivators gathered to watch the battle, primarily from the eight great families of Martial Emperor City, along with some Buddhist experts and cultivators from ancient kingdoms. Their presence wasn't solely for the outcome of the fight between the Demon Court's Holy Son and the Martial Emperor's successor. Rather, with the Demon Emperor severely injured and the Longevity Body Forest Realm now a target for many demons, the Forest Realm's appearance in Martial Emperor City was a moment for these demons to bare their bloodthirsty fangs. They wanted to see if the Demon Emperor and the Martial Emperor were truly too wounded to fight…

"Why haven't you come yet..."

"Did they run away?"

"I suppose so. The merman patriarch of the Sea God Palace and the Flower Ancestor under the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor have both come. They clearly don't have good intentions. If the Demon Court Lord is indeed seriously injured as rumored, then this Longevity Body capable of refining Transformation Pills will definitely be a coveted item for the other forces. Under these circumstances, I don't believe this Demon Court Holy Son would dare to show his face..."

Above the city of Wudi, a green-skinned, terrifying merman monster sat cross-legged on a cloud.

Besides it, there is also a bewitching red carnivorous flower rooted in the void, watching over the Martial Emperor City.

Both of these extraordinary beings are at the peak of the Void Profound Realm, just one step away from the Dao Inquiry Realm.

Previously, monsters like these could not enter Wudi City at all, but now that Emperor Wu and the city spirit are "asleep together," Wudi City has no good way to prevent these monsters from entering the city.

In fact, it wasn't just these outcasts; the Wind Gu Elder of the Gu God Sect also reappeared in Martial Emperor City. Having failed to retrieve the Golden Light Gu, he now felt that if the rumors were true, this might be the key to retrieving multiple extraordinary Gu at once!
Of course, he couldn't do it on his own, but if he were to join the Gu God Cult, the owner of the Yang Gu, then things might be different.

"The Gu God Ancestor did indeed sense the astonishing fluctuations of the great battle outside the heavens." The Gu God Sect leader, dressed in white, spoke up: "But the specific situation still needs to be investigated slowly, lest there be a trap."

boom! ! !
Boom! ! ! !
Just when people thought that Lin Jing would not come to fulfill the challenge, a thunderclap suddenly erupted in the void, and a lightning dragon with a cultivation level that had also reached the peak of the Void Profound Realm flew out from the void current.

Above its head, Lin Jing, dressed in green, stood atop the dragon's head with his hands behind his back.

coming!

When everyone saw that Lin Jing had really arrived, they were surprised. But what surprised them even more was that the Lin Jing listed on the Golden List was clearly at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. However, the Lin Jing who appeared at this moment had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, which was completely inconsistent with the information on the Golden List!
"I'm ready to take on the challenge."

Lin Jing stood atop the head of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, and with a light tap of his foot, landed on the city wall opposite the Martial Emperor's successor.

“However, you should just admit defeat,” Lin Jing said lightly.

"Your cultivation level..." Wan Renzong, the successor of Emperor Wu, frowned.

"Don't the cultivators of Martial Emperor City know that I once taught another immortal body a secret technique called 'Heavenly Demon Body'? If she knows it, I naturally know it too. With this secret technique, the Golden Core is me, the Nascent Soul is me, and the Deity Transformation is also me."

"Even if you are invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm, it will be of no use. I have cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body and am now at the Void Profound Realm. Even if you are at the Nascent Soul Realm and can defeat the Void Profound Realm, it will be of no use. I will just ask the Dao. Therefore, you are definitely no match for me. Just hand over the Stone Man Gu and everyone will be at ease."

"I don't intend to use this power of the Heavenly Demon on a prodigy like you; it wasn't prepared for you..." Lin Jing smiled.

"Impossible." Wan Renzong's pupils shrank. He naturally knew about the Heavenly Demon Body, but when the Martial Emperor once preached, he clearly stated that this secret technique could not be mastered by ordinary people. Not only did one have to endure endless torment and have the conviction to die, but among hundreds of millions of cultivators, there might not be even one person who possessed the aptitude to be compatible with the Heavenly Demon Body.

Emperor Wu once said that even the ancient emperors failed to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body.

This was originally a secret method for cultivation for people from beyond the heavens.

In the Tianyuan Realm, very few people can successfully cultivate.

Compared to the belief that one is doomed to die, aptitude is actually more important.

The fact that the Heavenly Lion Saintess was able to cultivate to that point already shows incredible luck, but Lin Jing, with his immortal body, simply doesn't have those conditions. How did he manage to cultivate to that point?
Could it be because of the current situation in the Demon Court? That's impossible, nothing had happened when the battle was scheduled!
Moreover, even in a similar situation, the probability of two consecutive immortal beings having compatible aptitudes is extremely small.

"Huh, when did he cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body? Could it be that he just learned it as a reaction after hearing bad news? His talent is so good?" In the heavens, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, who was still maintaining the boundary wall, also diverted her attention to the situation in the lower realm. She was particularly pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but send a telepathic message to the Martial Emperor, who had a dark expression on his face: "You don't need to arrange the script anymore. Look, my Holy Son of the Demon Court should be enough to give your Martial Emperor City a headache."
