Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 528 The Making of a Witch
The bodies of the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor still have some value that has not been fully exploited. However, after using the Dao Fruit Technique a few times, Lin Jing felt that even in the Dao Inquiry stage, not all the spells on a person's body are worth extracting.

Only select the spells they are most proficient in; accepting everything without question will easily pollute one's own database.

It's a pity that the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor are too powerful. Otherwise, Lin Jing wouldn't have used Shen Song as fertilizer, but instead had Gu Qianqiu contract with him to become a corpse puppet or a soul pet.

However, even without them, Lin Jing thought of another good thing for Gu Qianqiu.

"You've arrived." Gu Qianqiu looked at the descending forest and asked, "Is it time to go to the Origin Realm?"

“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded. “But before that, digest these two Dao Fruits first. You don’t need to absorb them all at once. You can learn them slowly.”

"These two Dao Fruits were taken from the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor. They are their experience in controlling corpses and spirits. With this experience as a guide, you can contract corpse beasts and soul spirits as pets. In a short period of time, you will be able to gain stronger combat power."

"Okay." Gu Qianqiu didn't react much to such a precious treasure, and followed Lin Jing's arrangements. Her experience with the Heavenly Lion Clan also prevented her from being picky about the source of the power.

"And then?" After receiving the Dao Fruit, Gu Qianqiu could tell that Lin Jing still had something to say.

"Actually, I also prepared a corpse puppet for you, which can be your first pet contract." Lin Jing chuckled and took out a corpse under Gu Qianqiu's gaze.

A black dragon corpse.

"This is..." Gu Qianqiu's expression changed. As a fellow Nascent Soul cultivator, she could clearly sense that this dragon corpse was also at the Nascent Soul stage in life, probably at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul. But even in death, this dragon corpse still gave her an immense sense of oppression, extremely powerful, even surpassing the Heavenly Lion Ancestor.

"It is one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Saint Calamity, whom I killed in the Origin Realm. Its current true form is a black dragon with a quasi-immortal bloodline. The strength of its bloodline is also very close to that of an immortal bloodline. A single bloodline is no less than the power of some ordinary immortal bodies."

"And this is only a part of its power. In addition to the dragon bloodline, there is another quasi-immortal beast bloodline hidden in its body. Both of these bloodlines were nurtured by the core essence blood of demon emperor-level powerhouses. They have unlimited talents and finally... they are perfect demon bloodlines, something that even Senior Shensong fears."

"If it weren't for the fact that he had already been killed by me and was difficult to possess, and that the Demon Ancestor of the Heavenly Refining Sect was still hanging on by a thread and easier to possess, if Senior Shen Song had a choice, he would definitely have chosen this Holy Son of the Demonic Sect to possess."

"However, now you can refine the corpse of this Demonic Sect's Holy Son into a corpse puppet, and then use it as a pet beast contract. At that time, even if his bloodline power will drop a level due to death, in the Origin Realm and in the realm of Nascent Soul, there will be very few people who can rival you."

"Okay." Gu Qianqiu was particularly serious about the pile of gifts that Lin Jing had sent. She naturally understood their value and made a vow that she would definitely help Lin Jing after arriving in the Origin Realm.

"Keep going. I still have the corpse of a celestial beast here, but with your current abilities, it will be difficult to control. Even if you receive the power of the Corpse Emperor, it will be the same. When you arrive at the Origin Realm, you can try to comprehend the Dao of Life and Death. Once you can control that celestial beast corpse, I will pass it on to you as well."

After Lin Jing finished speaking, he left Gu Qianqiu's place, giving her time to refine the corpse puppet and cultivate the Dao Fruit.

After giving his own people special treatment, he finally started replying to his senior sister's letters.

[Senior Sister, please spread the word for me. I will be returning to the Origin Realm soon. The eight spots for going to the Origin Realm this time will be decided by the Beast Taming Battle. Wait for my notification. At that time, have all qualified Beast Taming cultivators come to the address of the Beast Taming Sect. After all, even the Beast Taming Sect will have difficulty gathering eight Nascent Soul Beast Taming prodigies for the first time. Let's give other forces a chance this time.]

Beast Control Sect.

Xu Qingyao, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Court, had long since moved back to her sect to develop the power of the Beast Taming Sect in order to support Lin Jing's plan. After receiving Lin Jing's message, she informed the world on behalf of the Demon Court, the Beast Taming Sect, and Lin Jing.

In order to obtain a spot to go to the Origin Realm, many forces have established special beast-taming institutions to train beast-taming cultivators. Some major forces have even trained beast-taming cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, these forces don't know when they will be able to obtain a spot in the Origin Realm. After all, Lin Jing said that all the spots in the Origin Realm are given priority over the Beast Taming Sect. Only when the number of geniuses in the Beast Taming Sect is insufficient will other forces be given a chance.

"Very good!!"

"I knew it. With the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect, where would they have found eight Nascent Soul stage Beast Taming disciples in the past few decades?"

“Training three or four is manageable, but training eight, even with the support of the Demon Court, is not an easy task.”

Upon learning that a certain number of slots would be allocated for this trip to the Origin Realm, to be decided by a battle of beast tamers, all the factions were overjoyed.

Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

The second-generation ancient emperor sat in the empty hall, pondering the message from the Beast Taming Sect. After thinking for a while, he issued an imperial decree.

After a while.

Inside the royal family compound in the capital, a flash of divine light appeared, and an incomparably handsome young man knelt before the second-generation ancient emperor.

"Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Wang Che, soon, the Beast Taming Sect in Qingzhou will hold a Beast Taming Battle to determine the spots for the Origin Realm. The reason I had you switch from the True Dragon Secret Technique to the Beast Taming Technique is for this trip to the Origin Realm."

"If we can reach the Origin Realm successfully, I want you to collect the Origin Realm Dragon Veins and bring them back to Tianyuan, the more the better." The second-generation ancient emperor issued the order. Last time, Gu Xinghe, Gu Youran and others entered the Origin Realm without much success, but it wasn't without any gains either. The second-generation ancient emperor discovered the evolutionary opportunity of the True Dragon Secret Technique on an Origin Realm Dragon Vein that they brought back from the Origin Realm.

Therefore, he planned to send his newly recruited disciple, who possessed an innate immortal body, to the Origin Realm to collect resources.

"This disciple will certainly complete the mission..."

"Master, I've heard that Lin Jing, the Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect, has already established himself in the Origin Realm and possesses immense strength. Although he was born before me and is of the same generation as my father, I have now reached the Nascent Soul stage and, after switching to the Dragon Taming Technique personally improved by you, have even formed a contract with a True Dragon of Destiny. Could I perhaps challenge him? After all, my father, Wang Xiao, has always hoped that I could defeat Lin Jing. Since he is also currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, I…"

"idiot!"

The second-generation ancient emperor frowned: "There are many immortal bodies in the Origin Realm. How could you catch up with him so easily when he has become one of the best? Your task is to defeat all the beast-taming cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect and other forces. Just don't disgrace the ancient kingdom's reputation. Lin Jing, don't provoke him."

"We're both at the Nascent Soul stage, but I have an innate immortal body, while he can at most cultivate an acquired immortal body. As long as he doesn't use the legendary Heavenly Demon Body to advance his realm, why shouldn't I have a chance? He's just a junior like me; if he uses the Heavenly Demon Body, it's no different than losing." Reprimanded by the Second Generation Ancient Emperor, Wang Che was extremely resentful, muttering to himself, "In a battle between those of the same realm, I've never lost!"
