Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 438 Identity
"Thank you."

This wasn't the first time Gu Youran and Lin Jing had met. It could be said that she was very fortunate to have sparred with Lin Jing several times in the Tianyuan Realm; otherwise, she would not have been so lucky to face this cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"You're too kind. I'll consider what I just said." Lin Jing remained true to his original aspirations.

Dragon veins are valuable; they can accelerate the cultivation of a celestial demon incarnation.

"By the way, why are you here?" Gu Youran looked at the unconscious Heavenly Demon cultivator, and then at the unfamiliar cultivator who addressed Lin Jing as "Master".

"It's a long story." Lin Jing glanced at Fang Wuming, who immediately left knowingly. Lin Jing then glanced at the sky, and the mountain god's consciousness, which had been secretly spying, stopped paying attention to this place.

Afterwards, Lin Jing told Gu Youran about his experience.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youran pursed her lips and said, "It seems your luck isn't so good either, so this place is called Yinsi Mountain?"

"If we want to get out, we have to do as the mountain god says and offer enough tribute..."

"So, did you even hear what I just said?" Lin Jing said, "It's better to benefit our own people than outsiders. You should give me the dragon vein that should have been given to the mountain god, and then... I'll take you away."

"Give me the dragon vein!" Lin Jing remained true to his original aspiration.

Gu Youran was suddenly startled, remembering what the mountain god had said at the beginning.

If the mountain god considers the cultivation grounds of Lin Jing to be forbidden areas, then doesn't that mean that the mountain god is also quite wary of Lin Jing?

"Does this guy... have some hidden trump card up his sleeve?"

Gu Youran guessed in his heart that after all, this mountain god was incredibly powerful. Judging from Lin Jing's performance in the Tianyuan Realm, although he was also very terrifying, he was not on the same level as this mountain god who had been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for tens of thousands of years.

"Have you thought it through...?" Lin Jing asked.

The pine needle rat has already absorbed the grass and trees, and the dragon carp has already absorbed the earth fire. If the Heavenly Demon incarnation were to absorb the dragon vein's fortune from the mountain god, Lin Jing feared the other party would become anxious.

This princess sister has arrived at just the right time.

“Okay.” Gu Youran said decisively, “I’ll give you the dragon vein, and you’re responsible for getting me safely to the ‘Cultivation Alliance,’ how about that?”

Lin Jing nodded: "Okay, I'm going to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance anyway."

"You can cultivate here from now on. You are only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If you were already at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, this Heavenly Demon cultivator might not be your match."

"I will continue my practice here for a while longer. Let's leave after some time has passed."

After the two made an agreement, Lin Jing took the dragon veins that Gu Youran had thrown over and dragged the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators back to their cave.

Watching Lin Jing's departing figure, Gu Youran remained silent for a moment... This was the best possible outcome.

Inside the cave.

The unconscious Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators, under the control of Lin Jing's Gu poison, awoke with lifeless expressions.

"May I have your name."

"Moro".

"How many members of the Heavenly Demon Sect are here in this Origin Realm?"

"..." Moro. You don't even know this?
"What is your status in the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Origin Realm?"

Moro said, "Currently, the cultivators of the Origin Realm Heavenly Demon Sect are led by the Holy Son, Lord Sheng Kun."

"Secondly, there are the Eight Great Demon Stars, whose status is second only to Lord Shengkun. They have the authority to act independently without obeying the orders of the Holy Son. Each of them is a personal disciple of a powerful figure in the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

"After that, there were many ordinary Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators. I was considered one of the best among them and was chosen by the Holy Son to work by his side. The Holy Son would also occasionally bestow immortal energy upon us to enhance our strength..."

Lin Jing continued to ask, "Among the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators in the Origin Realm, how many possess demonic blood?"

Moro murmured, "Two people. The Holy Son possesses a perfected demonic bloodline, while Lord Ziyang, the leader of the Eight Great Demon Stars, possesses a fully developed demonic bloodline. It is said that if Lord Ziyang makes contributions in the Origin Realm, he will also have the opportunity to become one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

Two people...

"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor?" Lin Jing began to inquire about more information about the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Tianchou Demon Emperor, one of the pieces of information that Mosong told Lin Jing, is also a powerful Dao-seeking expert of the Heavenly Demon Sect with top-tier strength. On her way back to the 'Heavenly Demon Realm', she unexpectedly encountered a star cave and her whereabouts are unknown.

If this information is accurate, and the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor has not yet appeared, then Lin Jing can use her as leverage to give himself an identity in this Origin Realm.

“Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor…” Mo Luo paused, as if recalling something.

"There was indeed such a Demon Emperor. It is said that he encountered a star cave while returning to the 'Heavenly Demon Realm' and is suspected of perishing..."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Lin Jing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me more about the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor that you know..."

"And when did you enter the Origin Realm..."

After a long time.

Having been drained of his value, Moro was silenced by Lin Jing. Knowing that he possessed demonic blood, Lin Jing knew he couldn't release him out of the Origin Realm, nor could he return him to the Heavenly Demon Saint.

At the same time, Lin Jing's demonic avatar separated, its appearance changed, and it acquired a completely new identity.

He was severely injured in a Star Cave incident and became a disciple of the Demon Emperor Tianchou, who was recuperating in a cultivation world.

Although his status wasn't high enough to command all the Heavenly Demon cultivators in the Origin Realm, he was still considered to have a noble status, comparable to the Eight Great Demon Stars, and could disregard the orders of the Heavenly Demon Saint.

According to Mo Luo's testimony, there are over a hundred Daoist Demon Clan members in the Heavenly Demon Sect, so there's no need to worry about an extra Daoist disciple being too sensitive.

"From today onwards, your name will be 'Demon Taro'. The most valuable information we just obtained is that 'Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor' is a sword-wielding demon cultivator whose signature spell is wielding a sword with eight demon arms that have separated from her body! This is based on the Heavenly Demon Finger spell, and it is the 'Eight-Armed Heavenly Demon Sword Dao' that she created herself. This is also information that even Senior Demon Pine did not mention."

"This is a good entry point. Although we have only cultivated one 'Heavenly Demon Arm' so far, we can let this arm wield a sword and slash wildly, imitating the style of the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor."

"In this way, those geniuses of the Heavenly Demon Sect will be even more convinced that you are the successor of the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor!"

Lin Jing patted his avatar on the shoulder and said, "The Demonic Sect is dangerous. Next, the Ice Soul Gu and the Magic Elemental Mushroom will infiltrate the Demonic Sect with you to assist your great cause."

"Your mission is to gain the trust of the entire Demonic Sect while simultaneously enhancing your bloodline strength and power, striving to become the successor of Holy Son Sheng Kun in the Origin Realm and take control of the Demonic Sect in the Origin Realm..."

"Understood." The avatar of the Heavenly Demon sighed.
Lin Jing clapped his hands and said, "As for me, I will take the Pine Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp to help Gu Youran make contact with the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. Of course, my main task... is actually something else compared to making contact with the Alliance."

His eyes flashed, but now was not the time to confront the mountain god.
