Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 432 Transformation into God
"That jinx, why is he back again...? Did he really get stopped by the mountain god too?"

Not long after, Fang Wuming saw Lin Jing return and muttered to himself. But the next second, his heart skipped a beat as Lin Jing appeared in front of his cave.

"Fellow Daoist, after looking around, I still find this place to have the richest spiritual energy," Lin Jing said without any emotion.

"Oh, here you go." Fang Wuming cried. It was bad enough that all the resources had been given up, but now even his cultivation cave had been given up.

Since he had already lost everything, he couldn't show any dissatisfaction. He could only rub his hands together and smile apologetically, saying, "Actually, there's no need to be too sad about not being able to go out."

“Cultivating here is actually quite good.”

"In this Origin Realm, the power of heaven and earth is abundant, and the spiritual energy of the place that can nurture the mountain god is the most abundant in the Origin Realm! It can be said that in the entire Origin Realm, there are few better cultivation places than Yinsi Mountain."

"Master, you can cultivate here in peace. Once you break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you will be invincible in the Origin Realm. Becoming the Fifth Heavenly King of the Origin Realm will definitely not be a problem. At that time, you can come and go as you please in this Yinsi Mountain."

"You continue your cultivation! I'll find a place nearby to protect you and help you gather spirit stones. Just call me if you need anything!"

It's no wonder Fang Wuming was so humble; he was still poisoned by Lin Jingxia!
Now, his greatest need is not to leave Yinsi Mountain, but to get rid of the Gu poison in his body!
"Okay." Lin Jing nodded.

The other party seemed to be saying things he wanted to hear, but he wasn't wrong. Lin Jing did indeed sense that the spiritual energy in Yinsi Mountain was incredibly dense, unmatched by any other place in the Tianyuan Realm.

If this were the place, and a naturally born spiritual being were allowed to cultivate here, it would likely be possible to transform into a deity in less than a hundred years.

This is also why Lin Jing didn't rush to leave. Even if he left, he would first need to find a place to break through his current limitations. Since that's the case, he might as well choose this place.

…………

After taking over the cave dwelling opened by Fang Wuming, Lin Jing set up several more layers of formations and then began his secluded cultivation to break through to the next level.

Rather than saying that Lin Jing tried to break through on his own, it would be more accurate to say that he summoned his three half-step Nascent Soul pets—the Pine Leaf Rat, the Dragon Carp, and the Ice Soul Gu—and made them break through one after another.

Lin Jing planned to use the feedback from their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage to make his final breakthrough.

Upon arriving at the Origin Realm, the three pet beasts were quite excited. Bathed in the abundant natural power of heaven and earth, they were almost reluctant to return to the Tianyuan Realm!
"He's over a hundred years old, but he's still like a child."

After Lin Jing released his pets, they curiously explored their surroundings, like puppies in an unfamiliar environment, sniffing out scents from all directions.

Only when they were completely satisfied did they follow Lin Jing's instructions and each find a place to try and break through their limits.

For them, without the burden of immortal beings, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would be very simple. Their foundation, talent, and potential were already sufficient to reach the Nascent Soul stage. The reason they haven't broken through yet is that they're waiting until they reach the Origin Realm.

While the pets were breaking through their bottlenecks, Lin Jing inspected the resources Fang Wuming had offered and shook his head after discovering that the most valuable item was the top-grade magic weapon, the Wind God Bow, which Fang Wuming had previously presented.

"A penniless wretch...no wonder he has no money to go out." He then checked his magical artifact again, and this time, Lin Jing indeed discovered a problem.

Time flies like an hourglass!

This magical treasure, whose internal and external spaces have different time flow rates, is unusable in the Origin Realm.

“Strange…” Lin Jing frowned, but after a moment he realized that this magic weapon was probably made by the Immortal Palace using the Heavenly Origin Dragon Vein. It could only have such a magical effect on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Once outside the Heavenly Origin Realm, it could not affect the time in other regions.

"That's fine."

With such a pleasant cultivation environment in the Origin Realm, Lin Jing stopped worrying about the Hourglass of Time and threw it into the deepest part of his storage bag before joining his pets in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

In this mountain god's territory, the pine needle rat was the first to condense the rudimentary form of the primordial spirit of heaven and earth. Within this Yinsi Mountain, there are many plants and trees. Apart from the power of the earth veins, the spiritual power of plants and trees is the most abundant. Therefore, its primordial spirit transformed the fastest!
Pine Leaf Rat was the first to break through, and Lin Jing didn't take it seriously at first. However, he underestimated the changes that occurred when Pine Leaf Rat broke through to the Nascent Soul stage!
During his time at the Lingdao Sect, Pine Leaf Rat successfully deduced the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique" to its sixth level.

However, due to limitations in time, energy, and resources, the leaf rat itself is only at the fifth level and has not yet verified the sixth level!
The fifth level of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique" grants the half-step Nascent Soul Pine Leaf Rat the control over plants and trees comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage plant spirit. As for the sixth level, it is even more formidable. Once mastered, the control over plants and trees will be comparable to that of a Void Profound stage plant spirit.

Unfortunately, this level cannot be achieved by devouring ordinary spiritual plants. To cultivate to this level, one must devour a certain number of quasi-immortal grade plants. Even the forest realm at that time was not so wealthy as to provide quasi-immortal grade spiritual plants for the pine leaf rats to cultivate their techniques.

It's not that we can't find spiritual plants of this level, but rather that the cost-effectiveness is too low. After all, quasi-immortal-grade spiritual plants each have their own miraculous effects, such as the Immortal Water Lotus used to refine incarnations. If such a thing is only used to enhance the power of the leaf rat, it would be too wasteful. It would be far more cost-effective to consume it directly.

However, to Lin Jing and Songyeshu's surprise, the natural power of the plants and trees condensed to an almost tangible state within Yinsi Mountain was of exceptionally high quality, unexpectedly meeting the cultivation requirements for the sixth level of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique".

After the leaf rat condensed its primordial spirit, it seemed to be able to directly mobilize and absorb this power. Its body involuntarily and rapidly devoured the power of heaven and earth, and the speed at which it absorbed the power of heaven and earth was dozens of times that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator...

"Damn it, what happened?!"

Sensing the surrounding natural energy being frantically devoured, the mountain god awoke almost immediately and realized that the commotion was coming from the forest!
"It's that Nascent Soul brat who wandered in here by mistake!"

The mountain god was completely bewildered, not understanding how this brat could absorb spiritual energy so rapidly. Although it was restricted by the rules of heaven and earth and could not break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it no longer needed much spiritual energy for cultivation. However, seeing someone enter its territory and still so violently drain its spiritual energy, the mountain god was somewhat displeased.

If this continues, it probably won't be long before it transforms from a lush, green mountain into a barren, yellowish-brown hill, its appearance severely damaged!
"This can't go on, we have to kick them out."

"No, kicking them out before they pay would be letting them off easy."

"Let's see how much they can suck up!"

Unwilling to break the rules, the mountain god began absorbing the power of the earth's veins outside its territory to enhance the spiritual power of its domain.
