Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 390 Powerful Foundation
Xianlao Mountain.

Lin Jing, who was already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, stroked the corpse of the immortal ox before him, his gaze burning.

Currently, the foundational injuries he sustained while attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage have been completely healed. Furthermore, during his injury period, he made an unexpected gain: he successfully mastered the Corpse Driving Technique of the Yin Corpse Sect.

Lin Jing had thought that he would need to rely on the Enlightenment Fish Soup to quickly master the Corpse-Driving Technique, but the effects of the Blood Bodhi truly surprised him.

He had a hunch that, in a near-death state, the bonus from Blood Bodhi might not be inferior to that from Enlightenment Fish Soup.

Of course, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to concentrate on cultivation when they are seriously injured. Lin Jing was able to fully benefit from the Blood Bodhi's enhancement by fusing with the Ice Soul Gu and using the power of the Ice Gu to freeze the pain and freeze the worsening injuries without any treatment.

"It's also related to the fact that the Corpse-Driving Technique is half of the Imperial Path Secret Method... It's relatively easy to cultivate." Lin Jing muttered to himself.

He used the ultimate source of life as his power to control the corpse of the immortal beast before him. After discovering that he could only control the corpse's body to twitch, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Without the power of death to activate the corpse-driving technique, it really won't work."

"However, the Death God Pearl has now been given to the Ice Soul Gu to refine its external avatar. Once it's finished, we can ask it to try again."

"In addition, the magic power of the Nascent Soul stage is too weak. To control it perfectly, one must burn one's life force to reach the Deity Transformation stage again, continue to burn one's lifespan, use the Divine Control Technique, and improve the level of Control Dao in conjunction with the Corpse Driving Secret Technique before one can control this immortal corpse normally."

He put the immortal bull's corpse back into his storage bag, then suddenly looked in a certain direction and sensed the mechanical turtle approaching him, and couldn't help but let out a "hmm".

"It seems we failed..."

…………

Soon after, the mechanical tortoise, carrying the son of the Witch God Temple, successfully reunited with the forest realm.

Without it reporting, Lin Jing's true form could learn about the mechanical turtle's experiences during this period through the contract.

"I see. It's a pity that mechanical lifeforms can't be listed like humans and demonic beasts." Lin Jing couldn't help but feel sorry. In this way, the mechanical turtle would not be able to enjoy the enlightenment bonus of the Fortune Ranking... However, the impact is not too great.

After all, its core ability is to control magical artifacts beyond its level. This ability is already the limit for the lower realm and cannot be improved further. As long as it has this ability, the mechanical turtle will be almost invincible in the lower realm. The enlightenment bonus from the Golden List of Luck is far less important to it than to the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu.

"Well done, you even knew to bring back the divine child of the Witch God Temple." Lin Jing looked at the mechanical turtle with a smile.

"Mission accomplished, can I travel freely now?" But what the mechanical turtle craves most is freedom, freedom, and more freedom!!!
"Ah, this." Lin Jing fell into deep thought, looked at the list of successful candidates, and then chuckled.

"The last mission, absolutely the last one."

Mechanical Turtle: ? ? ?

“Look, the God of the Witch God Temple is ranked ninth. That means if we detain him in Immortal Prison Mountain and defeat him one after another, two of the Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu will definitely be able to reach the ninth or tenth position.”

"But we definitely need all three of them to make it into the top ten."

“Look, Water Moon Immortal Island isn’t far from here. Could you try kidnapping the senior sister of Water Moon Immortal Island using the method we just discussed? That way, the eighth position will be ours too.” Lin Jing stroked his chin, thinking it was feasible.

Although Granny Yinshan used a Yin God Gu as a bargaining chip to ask him to protect the senior sister of Shuiyue Immortal Island in the Origin Realm, from another perspective, preventing the senior sister of Shuiyue Immortal Island from going to the Origin Realm is the best protection for her. As long as she can't go to the Origin Realm, she will definitely not encounter any danger there...

Water Moon Immortal Island is a place that refuses entry to outsiders. It is concealed by a powerful array and is extremely difficult to find. Any other pet beast going there alone would definitely get lost at sea. Only the mechanical turtle has a chance to reach the island alone and kidnap the senior sister of Water Moon Immortal Island. Although he could also take his pet beast to challenge them, the entire island is full of beautiful female cultivators, and Lin Jing is worried that if he went there, he wouldn't want to come back.

"Aba aba aba..." The mechanical turtle wondered, was this really just the last mission... to kidnap the senior sister of Water Moon Immortal Island, huh...?

The mechanical turtle was puzzled. The eldest sister of Water Moon Immortal Island was ranked eighth, and the pine leaf rats had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage. Could it defeat them alone?
"Don't worry," Lin Jing said. "The techniques and spells of Water Moon Immortal Island can only be fully utilized in a marine environment. This is why Water Moon Immortal Island is located in the sea and rarely lands on land."

"At sea, they are virtually invincible. But once on land, their strength immediately decreases by 30%, which is why I asked you to kidnap them and bring them here..."

"Go with peace of mind, freedom lies beyond the sea."

"Hmm? It seems the Ice Soul Gu is finished. Perfect, the God of the Witch God Temple has entrusted me with this task, I'll let the Ice Soul Gu give it a try."

…………

In the hourglass of time.

Ice Soul Gu stared blankly at the black spider avatar, which was surrounded by deathly aura and whose cultivation had reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm.

This avatar was created by combining the blood of the Gu God with the death essence of an immortal beast, giving the Ice Soul Gu a feeling that it is even stronger than its original self.

Even its original form, through devouring the Myriad Poison Gu, has reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm, achieving the fusion of the nine Gu into one!

Fortunately, an avatar is an avatar. With a single thought, the avatar merged into the main body. The fusion of their powers made the Ice Soul Gu feel incredibly comfortable, giving it an immediate urge to challenge the fish's immortal fire.

"How does it feel?" As Lin Jing transmitted his voice, the Ice Soul Gu nodded frantically. Wonderful, so wonderful.

"That's good. Next, you'll have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as your sparring partner. However, he's not your average Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Although you're only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage, Gu worms aren't suitable for one-on-one combat, so it's probably difficult to defeat someone of a higher level."

"Leave it to me, and I'll take him down!" The Ice Soul Gu didn't believe it; with its current resources, what did it matter if he was only at the early Nascent Soul stage?

"Don't pretend."

"The opponent is the Divine Son of the Witch God Temple, a genius of the strongest tier in the Tianyuan Realm. He has rich experience in dealing with Gu worms, so it's best not to be careless. To increase your chances of winning, you can use one of the corpses of the Kongxuan Demon Ancestors that you killed in Tongtian City. With your current strength and mastery of the power of death, parasitizing the Kongxuan Demon Ancestors shouldn't be a problem. Only with a Demon Ancestor vessel can you unleash your full power."

Lin Jing made some arrangements: the Weapon Ghost had a quasi-immortal artifact, and the Ice Soul Gu also had the corpse of the Demon Ancestor that could be used!

After an unknown amount of time, the Divine Child of the Witch God Temple awoke in an unknown mountain range.

He looked at the half-step Nascent Soul Ice Spider lying not far from him, his body wracked with excruciating pain.

"What's going on? This is... Lin Jing's Ice Soul Gu?!"

Just as the situation became clear, the Divine Child saw the Ice Soul Gu fling out a bunch of top-grade spiritual herbs with its spider silk.

"Eat quickly, then we'll fight!" Ice Soul Gu urged.

The Witch God's vision went black. Damn it, that damned Holy Son of the Demon Court... Just you wait. I can't beat the strange mechanical beast with a quasi-immortal artifact of the same level. And this broken Gu worm, which I've dealt with for decades, is still a Nascent Soul Gu worm and it thinks it can bully me?
