Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 518 A mistake
"It's actually an improved version of the Beast Taming Manual. Well done! The Beast Taming Manual is a classic technique of our Immortal Palace. To be able to innovate on the Beast Taming Manual is truly a testament to the talent of our Immortal Palace. To devote one's energy to improving the Immortal Palace's techniques is the greatest sincerity a disciple of the Immortal Palace can show."

As soon as the machine finished speaking, all four of them were stunned. Even Lin Jing himself was stunned. A modified Beast Taming Technique was certainly good, but its value should not be as high as "Nine Dances of the Immortal Qin". He had just casually thrown it in to make up the numbers, but he had received such affirmation.
"This works? I've also modified the Immortal Palace's cultivation techniques."

The Palace Master of Tianming Palace couldn't sit still any longer, so he found a few of his own improved Immortal Palace cultivation techniques and threw them in.

The official voice said, "What kind of mess have you made? How dare you defile the classics of the Celestial Palace? Adaptation is not random rewriting!"

Palace Master Tianming was dumbfounded; how could this be made up?

However, they are all optimized versions of the original versions, making them more suitable for ordinary cultivators!
"What's going on?" Even the Demon Emperor was puzzled, but Lin Jing's face darkened as he realized what was happening.

[This organization is completely silent about the other things I gave them.]

Those are all top-grade materials; it's uncertain whether they even exist in the Immortal Realm, and it didn't even mention them?

[The spirit of this secret realm's mechanism likely possesses its own consciousness beyond the predetermined program, and is aware that the secret realm has lost contact with the immortal realm.]

Even a Celestial Lord-level cultivation technique couldn't elicit any reaction from it, because it couldn't cultivate it and couldn't submit it, so naturally, the reaction was lukewarm.

[But those materials I possess are all top-grade mechanical components; the fact that it hasn't mentioned them suggests it might be planning to keep them for itself.]

My creations, by sheer chance, satisfied the spirit of the mechanism's desires, which is why it exaggerated the value of the improved Beast Taming Technique...

Does this work too?
After Lin Jing finished his analysis, the Demon Emperor fell silent. Neither of them had realized before that the gift they were giving should have been given to please the consciousness within this secret realm!
Having lost contact with its master for a long time, the spirit of the secret realm's mechanisms has also started taking on side jobs.

"Fortunately!"

Fortunately, Lin Jing had been improving the mechanical turtle for the past few years, which allowed the pine needle rat to synthesize a lot of mechanical materials. He had put the extra materials into the bucket, which seemed to have just hit the heart of the mechanical spirit.

Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief; he did have some luck with him, after all.

[As I said, the Dharma cannot be easily passed on, but since you have all shown sincerity, then I will teach you some spells based on your sincerity. This will also test your talent and comprehension, and see if you can master the spells within the allotted time. If you cannot, you will have no chance to ascend to immortality.]

Rumble.

Inside the main hall, there were four separate pavilions, each containing a statue of a cultivator.

Go to the east; there dwells the Immortal Fruit Heart, a master of agriculture. You can learn his supernatural powers from his statue.

The alliance envoy was directed to the eastern pavilion. Upon hearing this, the sword cultivator chuckled. "What a conspiracy! Why would a sword cultivator like me be sent to comprehend some kind of agricultural magic, only to cut fruit afterward?"

This secret realm was already dissatisfied with the gifts I gave them, and now they're retaliating so quickly?

"The Celestial Palace Secret Realm is so mercenary."

The Demon Emperor was directed to the southern pavilion.

[This is the True Mysterious Dao Lord, a leopard spirit who ascended to immortality. His speed and agility are unparalleled among the true immortals of the Celestial Palace. One can comprehend his divine abilities from his statue.]

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's eyes lit up. Her speed was actually average, and the rare beast divine power was a pure high-destruction spell. If she could comprehend the divine power of the True Mysterious Dao Lord, then the sacrifice of her cultivation technique would not have been in vain. After all, there should be an assessment later. This secret realm... really does treat people differently based on the gifts they receive.

The Palace Master of Tianming Palace was instructed to go to the west pavilion.

[This is a Celestial Palace Guardian, a servant of the Celestial Palace. One can comprehend his divine abilities from his statue.] Palace Master Tianming: ?
What the hell?! Me, the dignified Palace Master of a Lower Realm Immortal Palace, am only qualified to comprehend the supernatural powers of a Guardian of an Upper Realm Immortal Palace?!

"Is there no law anymore?" He could see that without the supervision of the immortals from the upper realm, the spirit of this secret realm must be malfunctioning somewhere. This so-called test for ascension to immortality was just too unfair.

However, he could only keep these thoughts to himself for the time being and did not dare to say them out loud.

Since the gifts have already been given, even if it's just the guard's supernatural power, he should at least try to understand it first, otherwise it would be a loss.

Lin Jing seemed to have received the most preferential treatment.

[This is the head of the Imperial Horse Stables of the Celestial Palace, a master of beast taming techniques. One can comprehend his supernatural powers from the statue.]

The head of the Imperial Horse Stables of the Celestial Palace!
Master of Beast Taming Techniques!

Lin Jing had previously heard Senior Shensong say that the Beast Taming Technique was merely a cultivation method practiced by the servants of the Immortal Palace who raised spirit beasts.

But now it seems that's not the case at all; perhaps it is true that among those who cultivate the Beast Taming Technique, the majority are menial servants.

However, the work of raising spirit beasts always requires a supervisor, who is most likely also a master of beast taming techniques.

Furthermore, it will inevitably be very different from the beast taming techniques practiced by those menial laborers.

"Thank you."

He began to like this spirit of the secret realm who had embezzled the agency's materials. He wasn't afraid of you accepting gifts; he was only afraid that you wouldn't do the job!
As long as the matter is settled, Lin Jing will feel at ease about giving this gift.

If I had known this spirit of the secret realm was so powerful, I would have put in more items.

"The second test is to assess comprehension, isn't it?"

Lin Jing didn't really believe in his own comprehension. Perhaps his comprehension was normal, or even quite good, but due to the burden of the Longevity Body, he would be slower than normal cultivators in comprehending spells.

However, this hurdle doesn't seem to say that external help is not allowed.

Even if the rules don't allow it, I've already given so many gifts to the spirit of the secret realm, so what's wrong with cheating a little?

Even if one misses out on the later assessments, as long as one can comprehend the supernatural abilities of the master of the Imperial Stables of the Celestial Palace, the trip will not have been in vain.

After entering the independent pavilion, Lin Jing looked at the middle-aged cultivator leading the celestial horse in front of him, and his mind was quickly drawn to another world, as if he saw the head of the Celestial Palace's Imperial Horse Stable personally displaying his supernatural powers in front of him.

"Divine power name: Great Summoning Technique."

The middle-aged cultivator stood on an open space and said, "A good horse is hard to come by and extremely difficult to breed and train. However, the Immortal Realm is vast and has countless good horses. Therefore, as long as we use the Great Summoning Technique to forcibly summon the good horses bred by other immortal sects and mate them with the horse breeds of my Immortal Palace, we can obtain more good horses."

"This divine power can summon celestial beasts with exceptional talent and potential from a certain range to one's side through sacrifice. After they are summoned, whether to kill them, harm them, breed with them, or subdue them is entirely up to us beast tamers!"

"As for the lower realms, it's even more powerful. If used properly, summoning top-tier demonic beasts from other cultivation worlds to your side is no problem. You'll see!"
