Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 365 Rare Beast Grandfather
Even though the Demon Emperor was highly skilled, the Weapon Ghost was not convinced by her at all.

Lin Jing only managed to control the weapon spirit, which was weakened by the restraining formation, thanks to the Imperial Path.

At present, the Demon Emperor is getting anxious because he cannot reach a normal cooperation with the Weapon Ghost.

After all, this is a top-grade ghost that can activate immortal artifacts. Even she would like to control an immortal artifact.

However, despite his tremendous efforts, the Demon Emperor failed to succeed.

This gave the Demon Emperor the feeling that even if he destroyed the artifact ghost, the other party would not cooperate with him in controlling the immortal artifact.

Seeing this, Lin Jing shook his head, feeling that even if the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor obtained the Ghost Weapon, he would probably suffer the same setback as the Demon Emperor. He estimated that only the Skeleton Emperor, who was proficient in the Soul Dao, would truly have a way to control the Ghost Weapon.

"I'm done playing, here you go."

"I, the Emperor, will personally forge a celestial artifact."

After several unsuccessful attempts, the Demon Emperor threw the Ghost Mother back to Lin Jing, startling Lin Jing.

After all, in his current state, he has not used the Divine Control Technique and is therefore unable to control the Ghost Mother.

However, perhaps because the Demon Emperor was nearby, or perhaps because Lin Jing had once commanded the Ghost Mother, it obediently let Lin Jing hold it in a ball and did not resist.

"Now I also..." Lin Jing really wanted to say that if he didn't keep sacrificing his life, he wouldn't be able to control this guy at all.

But if I keep wasting my life, I don't have enough lives left...

"You are currently at the Nascent Soul stage. If you improve the Beast Taming Technique, can you directly form a contract with it?" the Demon Emperor asked.

Lin Jing shook his head: "It probably won't work. Although I temporarily raised my cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage, the number of contract slots did not increase accordingly."

"Currently, there is still only one contract position for a Golden Core stage cultivator."

"Moreover, I can also sense that this drop of contract blood can only form a contract with a beast of the level corresponding to my original realm."

"That is to say, it is a pet beast with a maximum upper limit of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Its realm has already reached the Void Profound stage, making it impossible to form a contract with it under any circumstances."

"but……"

Lin Jing was suddenly taken aback. Theoretically, that was true, but now, with the bonuses from the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, the Fortune Golden List, the Bodhi Tree, and the Enlightenment Fish, he himself was no longer just a theoretical figure!

Is it possible to break through these theories in the process of improving the Beast Taming Technique?

The Demon Emperor said that if he could successfully contract a magical artifact, his strength would undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap.

Even if one cannot unleash the full power of the weapon spirit, but only one or two tenths, it will still greatly enhance one's strength.

Even setting aside celestial artifacts, if I could use top-grade magic treasures like the Seven Star Ring of the Beast God without any pressure, my combat power would skyrocket!

"If I could create a sealing technique to seal a portion of its abilities and realm, and in this sealed state, I could form a contract with it, and its level would be unsealed as my true self breaks through, then perhaps I could complete the contract."

Lin Jing murmured.

"However, the fourth contract position was originally intended for the mechanical turtle... Wait, the mechanical turtle doesn't have any intelligence. If we can directly merge the artifact spirit with the mechanical turtle and make the artifact spirit become the mechanical turtle's intelligence, the problem will be solved."

"What problem did you solve..." the Demon Emperor asked. "The intelligence of this artifact ghost is only equivalent to that of a two-year-old human child. What's the difference between that and having no intelligence at all?"

Lin Jing paused for a moment and said, "There is still a difference. Having it and not having it are somewhat different. The Beast Taming Sect has a secret method to help contracted pets increase their intelligence. As long as they have intelligence, they have the potential to grow and will mature sooner or later."

"Since you've made up your mind, that's good. You must form a contract with it no matter what; you can't let it fall into the hands of the ancient kingdom or the Netherworld Palace." The Demon Emperor instructed, then, without further ado, swept through the forest towards the Spirit Dao Sect, traversing the void. ...

Outside the Lingdao Sect.

The old man from the Lingdao Sect and the Enlightened Fish had been waiting for the Demon Emperor and Lin Jing for a long time.

"Greetings, Senior Lingdaozi." Lin Jing bowed slightly. Lingdaozi, the patriarch of the Lingdao Sect, was the second most powerful expert in the ancient kingdom after the ancient emperor. He possessed dozens of spells and secret techniques that had been cultivated to the level of Yuanling, making him extremely powerful.

"You're welcome." Ling Daozi, looking like a disheveled old Taoist priest with no airs of a master, laughed and said, "I have to thank His Highness the Holy Son for showing mercy, otherwise my Ling Dao Sect's Daozi wouldn't have been able to enjoy the benefits of being in the top three of the Golden List."

"I'm the one who has to be sacrificed!" muttered the Enlightened Fish, which had a bulge on its head that looked very much like a brain and resembled a goldfish.

Its gaze passed over Lin Jing and Ling Daozi, and looked at the small-statured, arrogant Demon Emperor, saying, "Demon Emperor sister, considering how hard I've worked, could you give me a Transformation Pill?"

"We'll see how you perform," the Demon Emperor said. "Take good care of my Demon Court's Holy Son, and everything will be fine. I won't treat you unfairly."

"..." The Enlightened Fish muttered to itself.

Its rare beastly supernatural power is called the Enlightenment River.

The effect is that after using the magical powers of rare beasts, the water quality of the water source where one is located can be transformed into enlightenment water that enhances comprehension.

However, this Enlightenment Water also has a certain limitation: once the Enlightenment Fish leaves the water source, the Enlightenment Water loses its effect.

Therefore, whether one seeks enlightenment by bathing in the water or by drinking it directly, the enlightenment fish must be nearby.

Of course, the most important point is that the effects of Enlightenment Water vary from cultivator to cultivator. Some cultivators become almost immune after using it once or twice, while others still find it effective even after using it tens of thousands of times.

Therefore, the absorption effect of the Enlightenment Water is another criterion used by the Lingdao Sect to judge the talent of its disciples.

In order to improve his ranking, the Daoist disciple of the Lingdao Sect, who was extremely effective at absorbing the Enlightenment Water, actually drank the fish soup until he became immune to it, which shows how hard he worked.

"Enough with the nonsense," the Demon Emperor said.

The Enlightened Fish swung its tail and said, "We can't be short-sighted. Let's make three rules first: you can't hug me and gnaw on me. Look at your Holy Son, his eyes are practically green with envy."

The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing stroked his chin and said, "That's not what I meant."

He doesn't like eating fish because he finds picking out the bones troublesome.

If you like it, you would have eaten the dragon carp long ago.

"Senior Wudao Fish, judging from your voice, you seem to be female?"

"What?" Wudao Fish asked alertly.

"Senior, are you married? My dragon carp is also a rare beast, both being fish. Would you like to consider it? With its bloodline combined with yours..."

"It must be the potential of a celestial beast."

Lingdaozi, the Demon Emperor, and Wudaoyu all fell silent for a moment.

Lin Jing thought that if the marriage could go through, he would be the father-in-law of the Enlightenment Fish, and he would be able to drink Enlightenment Fish soup to his heart's content. However, his own dragon carp seemed to have low emotional intelligence, and he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
