Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 363 Conditions
Because of the special abilities of the Yangyuan Gu, the leader of the Gu God Cult has many talented children.

The oldest of them are over a thousand years old.

The younger children are still catching grasshoppers.

These descendants have almost completely taken control of the holy sons and daughters of the Gu God Cult, as well as some other important positions.

This undoubtedly strengthened the Gu God Cult leader's control over the Gu God Cult.

However, nothing is perfect.

The Witch God Temple, which was also at odds with the Gu God Sect, had developed a white witchcraft to neutralize the poison of the Yang Yuan Gu. After the Gu God Sect leader lost control over his children, the Gu God Sect was thrown into turmoil!

"What are you spacing out for?"

Seeing Lin Jing suddenly lose focus, the Demon Emperor called out.

Lin Jing came to his senses and said, "I was wondering, since the White Witchcraft of the Witch God Temple is so effective against Gu poison, why does the Gu God Sect still choose to take root in the territory of the Witch God Sect instead of places like Qingzhou?"

"Of course, it's because the Cloud Sea Mountains have enough poisonous insects and creatures, making them more suitable for the development of the Gu God Sect," said the Demon Emperor.

"There is another reason: competition leads to progress. The Witch God Temple is not as strong as the ancient kingdom, so it cannot damage the foundation of the Gu God Sect, but it can still pose a certain threat. This is..." The Demon Emperor was stunned and could not think of a word for a moment.

"Born in hardship, die in comfort?" Lin Jing asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." The Demon Emperor nodded, then frowned: "Why do you care so much? Oh, right, there's something important I need to tell you."

She chuckled and said, "Your few life-threatening spells seem to have frightened the Second Generation Ancient Emperor!"

"Guess what? He actually made a deal with me, asking you not to challenge the ancient prince and the ancient princess."

"I remember he was very confident not long ago, thinking that even if you cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body, you wouldn't be a match for the ancient prince and the ancient princess."

"But now that he sees that you can even activate immortal artifacts, he seems he's afraid to gamble!"

Lin Jing was taken aback and said, "The Ancient Emperor is dreaming!"

"I burned so much of my lifespan to reach the Nascent Soul stage just to take the top spot on the Golden List. If I don't, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

“That’s right.” The Demon Emperor nodded. “That’s why the second-generation ancient emperor promised very good conditions.”

Lin Jing hesitated for a moment: "What are the benefits?"

Ancient countries are large and powerful. If the benefits they offer outweigh the comprehension bonus from the Fortune List, it's not unacceptable. After all, Lin Jing isn't someone who strives for fame and fortune.

"The main benefit... first of all, let's talk about why the second-generation ancient emperor doesn't want you to covet the first or second position."

"Among the ancient clan's True Dragon Secret Techniques, there is a secret method that can break through the limits of one's physique by using a massive amount of luck power, allowing one's existing physique to evolve to the level of an immortal body."

"The first ancient emperor was not a celestial body. The reason he was able to destroy the Immortal Alliance was because he monopolized most of the world's fortune, evolving his True Dragon Divine Body into a True Dragon Immortal Body. The True Dragon Immortal Body was not originally among the Ten Great Immortal Bodies." "However, since then, the Tianyuan Realm has been unable to meet the conditions for cultivating the 'Immortal Body Secret Technique,' until... the Golden Age began, and the world's fortune greatly increased. The second ancient emperor himself missed the golden age of cultivation and was unable to obtain the Immortal Body Secret Technique. Therefore, he placed his hopes of cultivating an immortal body on his two descendants. Thus... the ancient prince and the ancient princess urgently need the fortune power brought by the Fortune Ranking."

"Compared to cultivating an immortal body, even if you have a one percent chance of defeating them, it is still unacceptable to the second-generation ancient emperor."

"True Dragon Secret Technique, Immortal Body..." Lin Jing was taken aback. There was actually such a secret technique. No wonder...

Looking at the Demon Emperor, Lin Jing asked, "Then the conditions of the second-generation ancient emperor, could it be...?"

"That's right. The second-generation ancient emperor said that as long as you don't compete with the ancient clans for the Golden Ranking within ten years, that is, before entering the Origin Realm, he can also pass on the Immortal Body Secret Technique to you. Although by then, after entering the Origin Realm, you will no longer have the fortune bonus brought by the Golden Age and the Fortune Golden Ranking, the fortune power of the Origin Realm is undoubtedly greater, no less than that of the Heavenly Origin Realm. Of course, it is also more difficult to obtain. However, you have the Heavenly Demon Body, so even if you go to the Origin Realm, you will not be bullied. You may not be without the opportunity to gain the favor of the Origin Realm and cultivate the Immortal Body."

"In addition to the True Dragon Secret Technique Immortal Body Chapter, the ancient kingdom will also allocate a top-tier cultivation dragon vein for you to cultivate in the next ten years to make up for the losses."

"Finally, when you returned from the Origin Realm, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor also promised to let the Ancient Kingdom's rare beast, the Breakthrough Bird, assist you in your cultivation once."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing curled his lip and said, "Except for one dragon vein, which is real, the rest are just empty promises."

"Yes, that's very apt."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the second-generation ancient emperor's sincerity is not quite enough."

“Indeed, and even if your Longevity Body evolves into the Immortal Longevity Body, it doesn’t seem to undergo any qualitative change.” The Demon Emperor said, “At the very least, it needs to be the complete True Dragon Secret Technique! I’ll go and negotiate the terms again!”

"Let's settle the terms with the Second Generation Ancient Emperor first, then I'll go and negotiate with the old man from the Spirit Dao Sect!"

"Wait, what's this about the Spirit Dao Sect?" Lin Jing was taken aback.

The Demon Emperor said, "When the Second Generation Ancient Emperor messaged me privately, the old Taoist priest from the Spirit Dao Sect also messaged me privately."

"I hope you won't challenge the Lingdao Sect's Daoist disciple, who is currently ranked third on the Golden List!"

"In exchange, the Lingdao Sect can let you go to the Lingdao Sect's Enlightenment Pool and cultivate for a year with the help of the rare beast Enlightenment Fish! The effect will be no worse than the enlightenment bonus brought by the third place on the Golden List, and may even be stronger."

Lin Jing: "..."

"It seems to be a Daoist disciple of the Lingdao Sect. He has drunk too much of the Enlightenment Fish soup and is now immune to the rare beast powers of the Enlightenment Fish. However, the bonus from the Golden Ranking is still very effective for him, so he doesn't want to lose his ranking."

"If the ancient clans can't reach an agreement, the Lingdao Sect might also be unable to make a deal, since the Lingdao Sect's Dao Child will be pushed down to fourth place."

"The ancient kingdom truly has a profound foundation." Lin Jing's lips twitched. The top three spots on the Golden List were all occupied by the geniuses of the ancient kingdom. At this moment, the big shots behind these three geniuses were even planning to spend money to buy their way onto the list. How shady!

Fortunately, he was the one who accepted the bribe.

"Isn't one year too short? Anyway, the Enlightenment Fish is of no use to the Daoist disciple of the Spirit Dao Sect. How about ten years? If we can use it for ten years, then we can certainly agree to the Spirit Dao Sect's request." Lin Jing pondered. Since it's all for the enlightenment bonus, having the Enlightenment Fish is indeed much better. The most important thing is that the Enlightenment Fish can also be used by the pets at the same time, but the number one on the Golden List can only enjoy it by himself!
"Ten years! That's probably not easy. It's said that the Enlightenment Fish of the Spirit Dao Sect used its powers too much in its early years, and now it's weakened."

"Your Majesty, this problem can be solved by the Second Ancient Emperor. If he wants me to refrain from challenging the Ancient Prince and the Ancient Clan Princess, he must get the Spirit Dao Sect to agree. The Second Ancient Emperor is the superior of the Spirit Dao Sect; he must have a way to persuade them." After Lin Jing finished speaking, he felt weak, and the immortal map floating behind him fell down, the ink beasts dissipating one by one...
