Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 513 Reunion with the Divine Pine
"The difficulty of synthesizing living organisms is completely different from that of synthesizing dead organisms."

Soon after, the experiment in the forest was completed.

The limits of the Pine Leaf Rat's Glazed Immortal Eyes have been measured after it harvested the Dao Fruit.

While it is indeed possible to synthesize living organisms, the limit of synthesis is limited to those below the Foundation Establishment stage.

In other words, the pine needle rat can only synthesize mortal beasts and spirit beasts at the Qi Refining stage.

Even if one uses immortal energy to activate the Glazed Immortal Eyes, the upper limit can only be raised to the Foundation Establishment stage, thus synthesizing a Foundation Establishment stage life form.

It has absolutely no effect on those above the Core Formation stage.

How can this work!
Although combining a group of Qi Refining stage demonic beasts with a rare resource could create a synthetic beast with extraordinary potential, is that what Lin Jing wants? Definitely not.

What he wanted was for the pine needle rats to be able to synthesize cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

In this way, he could attempt live body modification and strengthen himself with the power of the Glazed Immortal Eyes.

"In the end, it's because the Glazed Immortal Eyes are too low-level. It's strange. The Pine Leaf Rat used the immortal sources collected by those monsters to help deliver so many monster embryos in the Origin Realm. It has activated its divine powers with the immortal sources countless times, so why is its bloodline still not at the immortal level?"

"Is it really that difficult to obtain a Celestial-level bloodline?" Lin Jing sighed. The Demon Emperor was in the same boat; he had cultivated for sixty years using top-grade Celestial Qi, yet he was still some distance from the Celestial level.

"If the pine needle rat's bloodline reaches the Celestial level, it might be able to further promote the evolution of the Glazed Celestial Eyes, allowing it to synthesize higher-level living and inanimate objects..."

"But speaking of which, it's been so long, why haven't Senior Shensong and the others returned yet?"

The mechanical turtles all found their way back on their own. Lin Jing had been waiting for the return of Senior Shen Song and the others who had fled to seek refuge, but after ten years, he hadn't even seen a shadow of the tree.

"Go find them." Lin Jing left this task before leaving.

"Pine Leaf Rat, continue to synthesize some magical little animals with the Glazed Immortal Eyes. Remember to use Immortal Source to activate them. Don't be afraid of wasting immortal energy. Before leaving the Source Realm, I borrowed a lot from the Meteor Immortal Spirit."

"Dragon Carp, continue to use immortal energy to activate the Flame Emperor's technique, and use the Flame Emperor's flame to form the Myriad Fire Cauldron to refine the demon cultivators into pills, and enhance their cultivation. The more pills, the better."

"Ice Soul Gu, continue to use immortal energy to activate the Dao Fruit Technique, and then absorb the magical attainments of the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor."

"Mechanical Turtle, why don't you go out for a walk and try out your new abilities?"

After arranging the pets, Lin Jing left with the mechanical turtle. The pine needle rat was at a crucial moment in its advancement to a celestial beast and could not relax. However, the pine needle rat had a bitter face and seemed to dislike this task.

After all, it only likes to hoard resources. Synthesizing so many deformed and flawed synthetic beasts will only require cleaning them up later, which is not fun at all, and it won't make its internal space bulge.

However, these synthetic beasts are indeed quite talented. Lin Jing plans to accumulate a batch and send them to the Beast Taming Sect to train its disciples, since he will need them to perfect his Origin Realm plan later.

The dragon carp's task is quite simple: while improving its bloodline, it also needs to refine its cultivation golden core!

Lin Jing had already instructed the Demon Emperor to have the Demon Court send all the captured remnants of the Refining Dao Sect's demonic cultivators to the Immortal Prison on Immortal Prison Mountain.

The more Golden Core cultivators they have, the better. Lin Jing and the others will need to stay in the Origin Realm for many years. Once they come out, they plan to use their Golden Core cultivation to break through to the Dao Inquiry Realm.

Therefore, the more cultivation cores they accumulate now, the faster their cultivation will improve once they are no longer restricted by the Origin Realm. The Ice Soul Gu's task is even simpler: continue to drain the Heavenly Demon Ancestor dry.

No pet beast is idle; even the mechanical turtle has seen its abilities greatly enhanced over the past ten years thanks to the transformation of the forest.

Lin Jing fused a portion of immortal energy into its body, enabling it to function like those immortal artifacts, using immortal energy as its driving force.

Subsequently, its treasure-hunting focus was strengthened, including not only items that prolong life but also ancient ruins.

As the lower realm of the Immortal Palace, a power of the Immortal King, the Tianyuan Continent must contain many secrets, and it is even possible that there are traces of real immortals. However, due to several wars, these secrets have been lost to history. What Lin Jing wants the mechanical tortoise to do is to explore all the secrets that can be unearthed on the Tianyuan Continent.

Previously, the mechanical turtle might have found it difficult to do this, but now, its energy level is higher than that of the Dao Inquiry Masters of Tianyuan, so Lin Jing felt it was worth a try.

The spirit of the elixir, the Martial Emperor City, and even the mechanical tortoise itself can all be considered relics of the Immortal Palace. Lin Jing does not believe that there are no good things in the Tianyuan Realm.

Most importantly... Lin Jing's greatest ambition was actually to have the mechanical turtle find the "Traces of the Cave Heaven".

The grotto-heaven, a special space set up by the celestial palace in the immortal realm to train the geniuses of the lower realm, truly hides countless treasures: golden and silver Bodhi trees, demon bloodlines... and so on, too numerous to count.

Lin Jing felt that if he could take these grotto-heavens for himself, then the Tianyuan Realm would truly have the foundation of a Celestial King's power.

However, even though the mechanical turtles are now using celestial energy, Lin Jing is still unsure whether they can find the hidden world.

"Speaking of which, I have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so why haven't I encountered any new grotto-heavens yet?"

After some time, Lin Jing arrived at the Misty Forest. On the way, he was still looking forward to the arrival of the new cave heaven, but unfortunately, this time his wish was not fulfilled. He had been back for ten years, and the new cave heaven had not come to him.

"Let's find someone first."

"It seems to be here."

Senior Shensong and his group were very well hidden, but Lin Jing, who brought the mechanical turtle with him, easily found their hiding place with the help of the mechanical turtle.

Looking at the ancient tree before him, he went straight in.

"Your Highness the Holy Son!!!"

Lin Jing used the Heavenly Demon Crossing technique to step into the Divine Tree Space. Mosquito Girl, who was training her army of mosquito beasts, was overjoyed to see Lin Jing's arrival.

"His Highness smells even better..."

Gu Qianqiu, who was cultivating beside the Divine Pine, had now reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. As a long-lived being, this advancement speed was quite outrageous. However, Lin Jing was not surprised, after all, she was following the Divine Pine Senior, and the Divine Pine must have arranged a lot of demonic secret techniques for her. In addition, with the resources she left behind, such as the Blood-Red Bodhi, Gu Qianqiu could be said to be living a very comfortable life.

This doesn't even take into account the added benefits brought by the Golden Age.

"It's been a long time, Senior Shensong. You have indeed asked about the Dao."

"Shh~~~" Shensong saw that Lin Jing exposed its secrets as soon as he arrived, so it couldn't help but say, "Keep it down, keep it down. It's all thanks to the immortal energy you sent back. Alas, if it were the Tianyuan Realm that was isolated from the outside world before, I would have already become a mountain king. But the current environment is not good. Those demonic cultivators are fierce. We ordinary cultivators are gone as soon as we show our faces! Speaking of which, what's going on outside? Tell me quickly. You can come here, so you must be completely safe now, right?"
