Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 42 Squirrel Jumps into the Sky

"Watch out for you, my sect's number one pine leaf demon king! Junior brother, do you want to go find Elder Mo now?"

"If you want to go, you can go with me. I also have something to ask Elder Mo for help."

"Okay." It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. Lin Jing planned to ask Elder Mo whether he could have the beast-taming space magic weapon now.

When the pine leaf mouse heard this, he became excited. It didn't matter whether it was a demon king or not. He just wanted the space magic weapon to come quickly.

"Then let's go. We're on our way to Lotus Peak. I'll show you the scenery of the inner peak."

"Do we have to walk? Brother, when can we ride on the crane? Do we have to wait for the true teachings?" Lin Jing added.

"Can you just ride it? It requires spirit stones! As long as you give spirit stones, any errand disciple can ride it. If you don't give spirit stones, forget about getting the true teachings. That clan is protected by the Sect Master's wife!"

Lin Jing actually already knew it. He just wanted to test whether Senior Brother Ouyang had spent the money in vain. If he could get Feihe, he definitely didn't want to walk by himself.

Both of them were quite frugal and chose to walk to Lotus Peak to find Elder Mo. However, as cultivators, even without using auxiliary spells such as Wind Walk, they were still able to walk very fast.

While walking on the suspended cable bridge among the clouds, Senior Brother Ouyang introduced the scenery of the inner peak to Lin Jing.

"That's the Nine Dragons Waterfall." Senior Brother Ouyang pointed to the distance. The roaring waterfall sounded like thunder. Set against the green walls and red rocks, it looked like nine white dragons falling from the sky one after another. The scenery was very spectacular.

"There is a special dragon blood carp in Jiulong Peak. As long as you rely on your own strength to cross the Jiulong Waterfall during the Qi training stage, you can successfully build your foundation and transform into a fish dragon."

"Actually, the reason I went to see Elder Mo this time was because I wanted to contract a new pet beast after building my foundation..."

...

"See that rising purple mist? That's the Purple Cloud Spring."

"Brother, what is the use of this hot spring?" Lin Jing did not see any separate record of it in the book.

"On weekdays, many female disciples like to bathe here. If you have nothing to do, don't go there. It can easily lead to death."

...

"That's the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder..."

...

"We are almost at Lotus Peak. This is the ancestor of your pine leaf rat."

Passing by Gengyun Peak, the pine leaf squirrel looked at Ouyang Hao and said, "You, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, why are you still scolding squirrels?"

Looking into the forest, there is a strange stone on a low peak, which looks very much like a pine leaf mouse. It drags its tail, as if it wants to cross the huge ravine and leap onto Tiandu Mountain, one of the main peaks of the Beast Taming Sect that towers into the sky.

"He didn't scold you." Lin Jing said: "That was indeed your ancestor."

Pine Leaf Squirrel: ???

"Doesn't the Beast Taming Sect teach you the history of spiritual beasts? What's more, this is the history of your race." He looked at the pine leaf mouse.

“I won’t teach you so comprehensively…” said Senior Brother Ouyang beside him.

Lin Jing spoke up and told Songyeshu: "A long time ago, the Songyeshu clan was not a member of the Beast Taming Sect. It was just an ordinary race, and the probability of awakening spiritual intelligence was very low."

"Because the living environment is harsh and there are many natural enemies, in order to find a way out for the tribe, a pine leaf mouse secretly climbed up to the Beast Taming Sect, wanting to seek immortals and seek the way to protect the tribe."

"It met an immortal on Tiandu Peak, who gave it a test. If it could jump from Gengyun Peak to Tiandu Peak, he would teach it magic."

"The ancestor of your clan began to work hard day after day, trying to jump to the top of the mountain and seek guidance from the immortal." "But it is said that until the end, it failed and eventually turned into a stone, maintaining the jumping posture and remained there forever."

"Although it failed the test, the immortals of the Beast Taming Sect took the pine leaf rat tribe back to the Beast Taming Sect because of its firm determination to seek the truth, and upgraded the bloodline level of the pine leaf rat tribe. This also laid the foundation for the pine leaf rat to become one of the five basic spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect in the future."

Lin Jing also read these from books. He estimated that this so-called immortal was just an ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect. He was definitely not a real immortal. However, in the eyes of Songye Rat at that time, he was no different from an immortal.

After hearing the origin of the race, the pine leaf mouse was stunned.

"Junior brother, you know a lot." Senior Brother Ouyang said, "You must have read a lot of books when you were in the outer sect."

"Yes, I like reading books and learning more about things." Lin Jing said, "If I have read thousands of books, I will not be afraid to travel around the world."

"Haha, yes, but there is one more thing you definitely don't know." Senior Brother Ouyang laughed.

"what?"

"The immortal at Tiandu Peak is not actually human, but one of the guardian gods of the Beast Taming Sect. He is still here!"

"I told you, starting with the second sect leader, the Beast Taming Sect gave up the old way of enslaving pets, and all the disciples chose to get along with pets on an equal footing."

"And the second sect leader also liked to make friends. That immortal was his best friend during his lifetime."

"When the second sect master passed away, the sect master signed a contract with it... Of course, it was not a beast control contract. The agreement was to let this guardian god protect the Beast Control Sect for ten thousand years and to help the Beast Control Sect when it was in crisis."

"In contrast, Tiandu Peak, one of the three peaks with the most abundant spiritual energy in the Beast Taming Sect, was given to it as a place for cultivation."

"In my Beast Taming Sect, there are several Nascent Souls, among which only the current Sect Master, the fifth Sect Master, is in the Nascent Soul stage. The remaining Nascent Soul ancestors are actually the pets of the third and fourth generation Sect Masters. Compared to human beast tamers, those demon kings have a longer lifespan due to their special race."

“And this person from Tiandu Peak is the only one who has not signed a beast control contract with my Beast Control Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators and has remained in the Beast Control Sect. Not only that, because my Beast Control Sect has not encountered a special crisis, he has never taken action and has been practicing in seclusion in Tiandu Peak. If the Sect Master hadn’t told me this, even the true disciples and some elders might not know about it.”

"I see." Lin Jing nodded.

This is what is called a guest official.

Having said that, this Beast Taming Sect is really a den of demons.

Those above the Nascent Soul stage are almost all demon kings!

It's scary, I really have to go to Qianlong Academy. Wait, if the sect master is the only one who is in the Nascent Soul stage, then wouldn't it be the demon king who protects me? !

"Brother Ouyang, you know a lot." He praised each other in business, temporarily ignoring the fact that the Beastmaster Sect was also like the Demon Sect.

"No, that's not what I wanted to talk about. I just remembered when I passed by here that the sect master seemed to have told me that this sect guardian god had made a promise to the pine leaf rat clan."

"Ok?"

"If there are successors of the Pine Leaf Rat Clan who can inherit the will of the ancestor of the Pine Leaf Rat who jumped to Tiandu Peak and successfully jump from Gengyun Peak to Tiandu Peak, the promise will still be valid and they will teach the way."

"However, after so many years, many pine leaf rats in the foundation-building stage have appeared in the sect. They have used all kinds of methods, but they have not been able to jump to Tiandu Peak. There is a strong pressure in the sky there, which prevents normal jumping."

"Over time, no one cared about this promise because it was a little unrealistic. The sect leader guessed that the patron saint might have just said it casually and did not really want to preach. After all, the test was too difficult."

"Of course, you can try it when you have time. What if you succeed? It is said that the difficulty of this leap is related to one's own cultivation. If the cultivation is low, the difficulty is low, and if the cultivation is high, the difficulty is high. No matter what the cultivation is, you can give it a try."

As soon as Senior Brother Ouyang finished speaking, the pine leaf mouse in the forest took out a large red leaf from its storage bag and flew from Gengyun Peak to Tiandu Peak.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Ouyang was confused and said, "How can your pine leaf mouse fly on leaves!"
