Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 488 Star-Longevity Cub
The inheritance of three Immortal Lord-level beings made it difficult for Ice Soul Gu and Lin Jing to handle for the time being.

Hearing the urging of the Furry Immortal, Lin Jing fell into deep thought.

"Plucking the Moon" seems to be a divine power of the Dao of Refining, so it can't be said that it's completely unsuitable for a poisonous insect like the Ice Soul Gu, since magical treasures can enhance any spell.

Choosing this divine power, the Ice Soul Gu can specialize entirely in swordsmanship, condensing countless moon swords, or refining magical artifacts to enhance the Gu poison.

but---

There are countless ways to obtain magical treasures, so there is absolutely no need to resort to supernatural powers. Moreover, supernatural powers require development, and the Ice Soul Gu cannot immediately refine a large moon star to create a celestial-level magical treasure.

In the very beginning, it was estimated that quasi-immortal artifacts were the upper limit.

So, at worst, we can make the dragon carp suffer a bit and teach it weapon crafting, since it all involves fire anyway.

As for whether Long Li has the energy to learn weapon crafting again, wouldn't the second supernatural power "Dao Fruit" solve that problem better?
There's no need to enhance the dragon carp's comprehension and let it slowly learn through hard work. Just find a talented weapon refiner and strip it of its weapon-refining skills.

Even in the Tianyuan Realm, where the tradition has been broken, there are still many weapon refiners who can forge quasi-immortal artifacts. Looking across the entire lower realm, finding a weapon refiner who can forge immortal artifacts should not be a problem.

In the Heavenly Demon Realm, there are definitely demonic cultivators capable of crafting immortal artifacts. After all, while the channels between other cultivation realms and the immortal realms have been severed, those in the Heavenly Demon Realm have not. Therefore, the level of inheritance in the Heavenly Demon Realm must far surpass that of other cultivation realms.

In Lin Jing's view, this Fruit-Gathering Divine Ability is more practical than the Moon-Picking Divine Ability, as it allows one to harvest the cultivation fruits of other prodigies and use them for one's own benefit.

Even more so, strengthening the forces under their command.

However, Lin Jing did not directly choose the Dao Fruit, because the Tribulation Master's divine power also made Lin Jing extremely conflicted.

Isn't this the divine power that can embody the will of Heaven?

The Celestial Palace used similar methods to punish the rebels of the Tianyuan Realm.

Throughout the entire Tianyuan Realm, rules such as "cannot take human form" and "plants and trees cannot become spirits" have been established. If any living being violates these rules, it will be punished by heavenly tribulation.

If the Ice Soul Gu chooses a Tribulation Master, it should be able to do something similar. However, the scope of its rule-making will likely still be linked to its cultivation level. It cannot directly become the will of a realm; it will need to gradually improve.

Lin Jing was conflicted because he felt that this ability would greatly help him monopolize the Origin Realm and even protect the Tianyuan Realm in the future.

Within the Origin Realm and the Heavenly Origin Realm, establish Heavenly Dao rules that benefit oneself, thereby weakening the enemy's ability to fight on foreign soil.

"Hurry up and choose!" the Furry Immortal urged.

"I'm having trouble making a decision! Dao Fruit or Tribulation Master, which one should I choose!" Lin Jing was sweating profusely, as was the Ice Soul Gu.

"Do you have any better suggestions, senior?"

The Furry Immortal said, "Choose a Dao Fruit!"

"Why?" Lin Jing couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple. Even within the same realm, there are differences in strength. At least before I descended to the lower realm, the owners of the Dao Fruit Divine Powers were stronger, some even reaching the level of Immortal King!"

"Having chosen the Dao Fruit Divine Power, this insect is now their successor. Once we reach the Immortal Realm, we can simply submit to them!"

"For cultivators from the lower realms who have just ascended to the Immortal Realm, having a powerful master and a strong force right after entering the Immortal Realm, do you know what that means?" "Moreover, although the Tribulation Lord is not bad, the method of setting rules and using tribulation power is not unique to this Demon Lord. Almost every force has similar methods. It's just that this Demon Lord uses this method as his main supernatural power."

"If you want to learn similar abilities, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. In comparison, supernatural powers like Dao Fruit are relatively special and rare, and there aren't many similar spells."

"I see." Lin Jing said he understood after listening, and immediately asked the Ice Soul Gu to choose the Dao Fruit Divine Power.

"That's it."

Indeed, since the Celestial Palace could easily establish rules back then, it was possible to either have the mechanical tortoise revive these ancient people with the Book of Divine Spirits, or to go to other cultivation worlds and steal such supernatural powers through Dao Fruits.

Although the other party certainly doesn't have as much insight as this demon immortal, as long as they have a basic understanding, they can continue to cultivate on their own.

"The Fruit of the Dao!"

The Ice Soul Gu hissed as it further perceived the power of the demonic star representing the Dao Fruit, and it actually quite liked this ability.

Forget everything else, let's first find a few Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators who are proficient in swordsmanship and plunder their sword skills...

In the blink of an eye, the Ice Soul Gu completely received the "Dao Fruit" inheritance and awakened its rare beast bloodline. The various ways of using the Dao Fruit were as if they were engraved into its bloodline, and it could use them at will.

This is the power of rare beast inheritance. For example, the Pine Leaf Rat could use the Glazed Immortal Eyes during its Qi Refining stage. If a Qi Refining stage demon beast were to learn a Celestial King-level divine ability on its own, it would be a pipe dream.

"Mission accomplished!" Then, the Furry Immortal breathed a sigh of relief and sounded exhausted.

"Alright, the contract is complete. I'll wait for the day you master your immortal arts... Time is running out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Lin Jingdao said, "By the time its Glazed Immortal Eyes reach the level you mentioned, senior, our cultivation will have already surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm. At that time, how will we find you to fulfill our promise?!"

"So you need to form an alliance with Little Stone. When the time comes, you can notify it, and it will awaken me. When the time is right, I will leave the Origin Realm and go to the outside world to find you."

"Alright!" Lin Jing asked one last question: "Senior, you must have been in the Origin Realm for a long time. I wonder if there are any star beast cubs with great talent and potential in the Star Dust Realm?"

"Although I did not choose a monster cub when I awakened my rare beast supernatural power, I do have the idea of ​​contracting a star beast cub as my new pet."

The Furry Immortal paused for a moment, then said, "Don't think about it."

"What powerful star beasts could there be in this godforsaken place like the Origin Realm?"

"Didn't you see that stone? It was nurtured by an immortal, and I even helped it awaken a rare beast's divine power, yet it still couldn't become the King of the Origin Realm?"

"It has the best talent among all life forms in the Origin Realm Starry Sky, and this is all it can do."

Lin Jing even wanted to say something in defense of the Meteor Fairy: "Didn't the senior take all the immortal essence it collected to maintain its state?"

"What use is having more Immortal Essence if you're only at the Nascent Soul stage? It will all be wasted in the end!"

"In short, if you want to find star beast cubs, don't waste your energy in the Origin Realm. I recommend you look in the outer starry sky. Star Longevity Cranes are a good choice. They are a type of crane that lives in the Ascension Star Pool of the Ascension Passage. After the Ascension Passage was sealed by the Heavenly Demon Sect with the Heavenly Dao Treasure, these cranes fell into the lower starry sky. Often, when you cultivators from the lower realm ascend to the Immortal Realm, the cranes that accompany you and bestow blessings are these cranes."

“If this race still exists, choosing their cubs is definitely the right choice. I can tell you that there is a demon emperor in the immortal realm whose race is the Star Crane. Moreover, the Star Crane is also known as the long-lived among demon beasts... It is very suitable for you... If all else fails, you can form a contract with Little Stone. Neither of you will lose out. However, given its personality, even if I were to speak to it, it probably wouldn't agree. Hehe.”
