Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 525 Ascension to Immortality
Used as bait?
Hoshino took a small step back, sensing that her future would be particularly tortuous.

Do you still want to save your people?

“If you cultivate step by step, the Star Crane Realm cannot wait for you. Even at the fastest speed, all you can save are your people who have been raised by the demons for countless generations a thousand years from now.”

"If you're not ruthless to yourself, your enemies will be ruthless to you."

"Yes." Hoshino Shoho fell silent, his heart heavy.

With only twenty years of cultivation, it hadn't actually developed a deep bond with the Star Crane clan.

However, as the offspring of the clan leader, it was born with a sense of responsibility. Its parents and brothers died fighting against the demons, and even if it didn't fight for the Xingshou Crane clan, it still had a blood feud with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

This grudge must be avenged.

"Let's begin." Hoshizuku accepted his fate.

"No need to be so fearless, it's not like I'm asking you to die." Lin Jing smiled.

Before long, with the help of hundreds of almost invisible elixir dust, Xing Shouhe's congenitally deficient foundation began to be rebuilt.

At the same time, its body merged with the power of the elixir. The flesh and blood that could originally prolong life when eaten now seemed to be marinated with the aroma of the elixir, becoming even more translucent and tempting, with a fragrant aroma. In addition to prolonging life, it had countless additional nourishing effects.

Lin Jing has preliminarily determined the breeding route for the Star Crane.

The Way of the Universe is the primary cultivation path.

Not long ago, Lin Jing had been thinking about getting involved in the Dao of Time, but due to the difficulty of entering the Dao and the many things he had to do, he had not yet set foot in it.

The arrival of Hoshinogi was a crucial turning point.

The opponent's rare beast divine ability, Time Storm, can distort time around living beings, making it a very rare offensive cosmic divine ability.

With this supernatural power, Lin Jing could experience the power of time by having the Star Longevity Crane continuously attack him.

In addition, through the beast-taming secret technique "fusion," one will also be able to use time-related supernatural powers with the help of the Star Longevity Crane, thus gaining firsthand experience.

If Xing Shouhe's plan is to primarily cultivate time-related supernatural abilities, then his secondary cultivation will likely be the Way of Blessing.

This was not Lin Jing's sudden inspiration, but rather the fact that the Star Crane clan's racial talent was inherently inclined towards the path of blessing.

Besides their racial talent of helping others prolong their lifespan, the reason why Star Cranes are kept by many powerful forces in the Immortal Realm to welcome new ascendants and bestow blessings upon them is because their blessing spells have amazing effects.

Each Celestial Realm faction cultivates Star Cranes with different auxiliary blessing abilities. Some can enhance luck, some can enhance cultivation speed, some can enhance comprehension, and so on. In short, almost every ascendant from a major faction has a "newcomer protection period" during which they can rely on the blessing of their accompanying cranes to thrive in the Celestial Realm for a period of time and quickly establish themselves.

Since Xing Shouhe is skilled in this area, Lin Jing naturally wouldn't abandon the essential for the trivial.

Lin Jing had also considered this point when he combined the Immortal Pill Powder with the Star Longevity Crane. The Immortal Pill Spirit of the Tower of Babel has many effects, such as enhancing cultivation speed, strengthening combat power, and improving talent potential. Obviously, all of these can be transformed into blessing power.

At that time, Xing Shouhe will be able to directly combine these innate talents with the Way of Blessing to unleash their power.

hum!
As the Star Crane began its transformation, it used its supreme immortal energy for the second time to activate the rare beast's divine power. The Pine Leaf Rat's bloodline finally underwent a significant abnormality, churning like boiling magma, with immortal energy permeating every corner of its bloodline.

"squeak!"

The pine needle rat exclaimed in surprise, and Lin Jing quickly observed its condition. Upon observation, he was overjoyed. "Sit down and regulate your breathing," Lin Jing said. "After using immortal power to activate your divine abilities for so long, your bloodline has finally resonated with immortal power. Quickly, can you use immortal power to nourish your bloodline and unleash its immortal potential? Let's see what you can do!"

"squeak!"

With a wave of its little hand, the pine needle rat's Taoist robe fluttered as it sat down cross-legged, closed its crystal eyes, and began to attempt to break through to the Immortal level bloodline.

Lin Jing stood guard for the Pine Leaf Rat, while the other pets quickly spread out to various parts of Immortal Prison Mountain to prevent anything that might interfere with the Pine Leaf Rat's breakthrough from getting in the way.

"This fluctuation..."

Meanwhile, on Xianlao Mountain, Shensong felt a pang of melancholy. This little squirrel… has it really come to this?

It's clearly my disciple, yet he obtained the immortal bloodline before this old guy!
"You've got potential; you're worthy of being my disciple."

Currently, the only immortal beast still alive on the Tianyuan Continent is the Demon Emperor, a late-stage cultivator. If the Pine Leaf Rat succeeds, it will become the second immortal beast on the Tianyuan Continent.

On Mount Xianlao, the wind rises and the clouds surge.

In this process, ordinary plants and trees in the mountains are collectively elevated to a higher level.

As the sun and moon turned, eight years quickly passed since the Pine Leaf Rat attempted to break through to the Immortal level bloodline. Compared to the Demon Emperor, the Pine Leaf Rat faced a greater challenge in breaking through to the Immortal level bloodline.

Because its own realm is too low, only at the Nascent Soul stage, its control over bloodline power is obviously not as strong as that of the Demon Emperor.

In addition, it must suppress its own realm, so that it does not break through to the Void Profound stage because of obtaining the Immortal Bloodline. Otherwise, it will no longer be able to enter the Origin Realm with Lin Jing.

This required the Pine Leaf Rat to break through its bloodline and suppress its cultivation level, which took a lot of effort.

Nine years after it began its breakthrough, the leaf rat's aura finally stabilized. Inside its cave, the leaf rat finally opened its eyes, its gaze radiating a dazzling immortal aura, and its entire body glowing with a crystalline light.

Like a celestial being descended to earth, it exudes an exceptionally mysterious and extraordinary aura.

"Squeak..." The leaf rat exchanged a glance with Lin Jing, who had been protecting it the whole time. Lin Jing smiled faintly: "Looks like it succeeded."

Swish.

The pine needle mouse raised its little paw, nodded, and was about to show Lin Jing the powers it had gained after being promoted to a celestial beast.

hum.

As it unleashed a burst of emerald green magic, the vines entwined around the corner of the cave wall immediately stirred, actually beginning to develop sentience and transforming into vine demons!

Pine Leaf Rat had actually done something like this in the Origin Realm, but these are two different concepts. In the Origin Realm, the natural power is abundant, and the number of naturally born plant spirits is infinite. But in this Heavenly Origin, the birth of plant spirits has always been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, making it extremely difficult!
But now, just like the original Creation Immortal Body, it can easily enlighten spirits and monsters!
Boom.

In order to prevent the birth of this vine demon, tribulation clouds gathered in the sky outside. Upon seeing this, the dragon carp and ice soul gu responsible for protecting the path frowned.

"Boo!!!"

It was just a minor tribulation to prevent the birth of the Qi Refining Vine Demon. Long Li gave it a cold, indifferent look, and the remaining tribulation power was directly swallowed up by a lightning rod erected by the Ice Soul Gu. The two of them looked at the sky and curled their lips in unison.

That's it?
