Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 529 Old friends meet
The news from the Beast Taming Sect caused a stir throughout half of the Tianyuan Realm.

Upon receiving the news, some people immediately began heading to Qingzhou. After all, the journey was long, and there were no teleportation arrays between various places and Qingzhou, so it could take several years to travel there.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Misty Forest joined the Demon Court, so during this critical period, cultivators crossing the Misty Forest will at least not be attacked by high-level demonic beasts.

"Che'er, don't listen to His Majesty the Ancient Emperor."

At the Tianyuan Wang family, Lin Jing's old classmate Wang Xiao spoke up: "What is there that you can't challenge? You have an innate immortal body and are not afraid of anyone."

"Even if we lose, so what? Victory and defeat are common occurrences for immortals."

"I'll go with you this time."

Wang Xiao sighed with emotion: "I haven't seen Lin Jing for so many years, it's a good opportunity to see this old classmate."

“Hmm.” Wang Che stood in front of his father and nodded. Although he felt that his master must know some information about the Lin Realm that his father did not know, he still wanted to challenge this strongest genius of his father’s generation.

"Father, are you going to Qingzhou too?" Wang Che hesitated. "Didn't you plan to go into seclusion to cultivate?"

Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Nothing is as important as your matter. We'll set off tomorrow to avoid any unexpected events on the way."

……

"I heard that Lin Jing is personally presiding over this battle for the Origin Realm quota. It seems he finally has some free time."

On the border of an ancient kingdom, an old man and a strong man walked in the mountains. Gao Sheng asked, "Master, shall we go take a look?"

"You haven't even mastered the Beast Taming Technique, why are you getting involved?" The First Ancient Emperor glanced at Gao Sheng.

"Because my junior sister sent a message saying that she is preparing to participate, and she wants to go to the Origin Realm to take a look."

"What?" The first ancient emperor was taken aback and said, "Xun'er? Where is she going?"

Gao Sheng shrugged and said, "She said there are too few talented cultivators in Tianyuan. After so many years of accumulation, let alone bringing down the second-generation ancient emperor, it would be difficult to even defeat Gu Xinghe and Gu Youran. She wants to see if she can contract with a few powerful spirits from the Origin Realm and bring them back. The Human Control Technique is essentially the Beast Control Technique, right?"

"Nonsense!" The First Ancient Emperor tilted his nose and said, "That Origin Realm is so dangerous. Lin Jing has offended countless people there. I heard there's even a meteorite that has become a spirit. Can you even watch something that has become a spirit?"

"Then you go and talk to her," Gao Sheng muttered, fully aware that the first ancient emperor could no longer control Yu Xun'er. The little girl was rebellious.

the other side.

Lin Jing had not returned to the Beast Taming Sect for a long time. Currently, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect is still Xu Xiaoyao, who has cultivated to the Void Profound stage. He is the only Void Profound cultivator in the Beast Taming Sect besides Xu Qingyao.

His ability to cultivate to the Void Profound stage was inseparable from the strong support of the Demon Court. Apart from the sect leader, most of the elders of the Beast Taming Sect, after receiving more favorable cultivation resources, also progressed from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages. Even if the talents of the original batch of elders of the Beast Taming Sect were no longer worth cultivating, the Beast Taming Sect did not abandon them, but instead gave them as many opportunities as possible to advance further. At least in terms of resources, they were never shortchanged.

However, most of the early elders of the Beast Taming Sect understood their own talents and potential, and knew their own limits. Even though they received preferential treatment from the sect's resources, a large number of them gave up their own progress and instead focused on cultivating the next generation. Those who had offspring would train them, and those who did not would look for promising talents and take on disciples.

Therefore, the average cultivation level of the new generation of disciples after the Beast Taming Sect moved to Qingzhou is very high. The standard for inner disciples has long been raised to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the standard for true disciples has been raised to the Golden Core stage.

Above the true disciples, there is another type of disciple, known as the sequence disciples. They need to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Only by becoming a sequence disciple can they compete for the position of Holy Son.

The Beast Taming Sect currently has twenty-four disciples, all of whom have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and four of them have even reached the Deity Transformation stage.

These four Nascent Soul prodigies can be said to be the strongest force among the new generation of the Beast Taming Sect. Among them, Senior Brother Ouyang Hao is one of them and the only one Lin Jing knows. The other three are all rising stars.

However, these three people were not entirely without connection to Lin Jing.

As they approached the Beast Taming Sect, Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu all appeared, recommending their people to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing released his divine sense and saw a woman with a divine body cultivating in a lush forest at the Beast Taming Mountain Gate. A small squirrel was sitting on her shoulder.

"Squeak squeak squeak." The leaf rat introduced the person to Lin Jing. This person was named Fang Baihua, who had the innate Four Seasons Divine Body. He was an ally of the Beast Taming Sect and a prodigy from Flower Valley. Because his talent was too good, the Valley Master of Flower Valley was afraid of delaying his future, so he sent him to the Beast Taming Sect for training.

The connection between the pine needle rat and Fang Baihua begins when the pine needle rat stayed in the Tianyuan Realm, responsible for synthesizing the incarnation of the Transformation Grass for the Demon Court.

On the incarnation side, in order to cultivate more Transformation Grass, many wood-type demon beasts and wood-attribute physiques were needed to serve as gardeners. At that time, Fang Baihua was discovered by Pine Leaf Rat from the Beast Taming Sect and pulled over to do hard labor. Among the many gardeners, this Four Seasons Divine Physique performed the best and helped Pine Leaf Rat's incarnation a lot. Pine Leaf Rat also gave her a lot of benefits for this, laying a solid foundation for Fang Baihua to become one of the few Transformation God prodigies in the Beast Taming Sect.

Most importantly, what the leaf rat appreciated about her was that her initial pet was a fellow leaf rat, which was also her own kind, rather than some dragon carp, ice gu butterfly, or anything like that.

These were things that Pine Leaf Rat and its avatar "assimilated and merged" not long after Lin Jing returned to the Tianyuan Realm.

"Boo!!!"

After the pine needle rat finished speaking, the dragon carp began to introduce its own alchemy child, a young man with innate lightning and fire divine bodies. This young man was a disciple of a cultivation family under the Demon Court, named Qin Lei. Because the power of his innate lightning and fire divine bodies was too domineering, without the help of a powerful figure to suppress it, he would hardly live past the age of ten. Therefore, this cultivation family had no choice but to seek help from the Demon Court, and then this child was taken in by the dragon carp's avatar.

With proper training, the innate Thunderfire Divine Body has the potential to inherit its "Thunder Refining Method" and help with the refining of Transformation Pills, since there are very few alchemists who meet the requirements for inheriting the Thunder Refining Method.

It can be said that after Lin Jing and the others left, the incarnation of the dragon carp quickly found a laborer it could exploit.

"squeak."

"Boom~"

Pine Leaf Rat and Dragon Carp were recommended to Lin Jing. These two children had worked very hard and were worth taking to the Origin Realm for further training.

"Don't worry, there aren't many disciples in the Beast Taming Sect who have reached the Nascent Soul stage. There will definitely be two of them. But I understand what you mean. Although they have reached the realm, their strength seems to be just average. They will undoubtedly face a lot of pressure when they arrive in the Origin Realm. They need to improve their strength, just like Gu Qianqiu."

"Wait a minute! These two are at least at the Nascent Soul stage, while my two are only at the Spirit Transformation stage. Please help me!" Ice Soul Gu said urgently, "Have you forgotten? Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin!" "The two of them?"

"Did those two also come to the Beast Taming Sect?" Lin Jing thought of this when he heard Ice Soul Gu mention it.

The Jiang family's twin bodies!
The two children he rescued from the Demonic Sect years ago.

They were also given the Ice Soul Gu, which they took for a while but eventually returned.

Since then, Lin Jing hasn't paid much attention to them.

“Hmm.” Ice Soul Gu said, “After the Golden Age began, it seems they didn’t stay in the Ancient Kingdom for long before leaving and coming to Qingzhou. They joined the Beast Taming Sect and switched to cultivating the Beast Taming Technique. Not only them, but their entire family moved to Qingzhou.”

"I see." Lin Jing sighed, searching for the two figures. The brother and sister seemed to be at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, a little short of the Divine Transformation stage. "Why is their cultivation so low? Why don't you take care of the Ice Soul Gu?"

Ice Soul Gu rolled its eyes and said, "Their avatars are both in Tianyuan, while my avatar and I have always been in the Origin Realm. How can we take care of them?!"

"Therefore, their current cultivation level is not considered top-tier among the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. Let me go and help them, so that they can also get the opportunity to go down to the Origin Realm."

"Go ahead." Lin Jing smiled slightly. That's right. Fang Baihua can use the Glazed Immortal Eye Synthesis of the Pine Leaf Rat to cultivate, and Qin Lei can eat the Golden Core of the Dragon Carp. Only this twin body can only use the outdated Ice Soul Gu to cultivate.

Having obtained Lin Jing's permission, the Ice Soul Gu darted out with a "whoosh," fearing that its pet would lose face in front of the Pine Leaf Rat and Dragon Carp's followers.

"Squeak!" "Pop!"

Seeing this, the leaf rat and the dragon carp also looked at Lin Jing, who said helplessly, "If you want to go, then go."

Since the pine needle rat and the dragon carp returned to Tianyuan, their avatars have been absorbed into the main body by them. They have been assimilating and enhancing the power of the avatars, so the main body has not taken care of its avatars' followers for a long time.

"Why are they all rolled up?" Lin Jing shook his head after the three pets had left. Oh dear, Gu Qianqiu, Fang Baihua, Qin Lei, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Lin, that makes five people. Now, it won't be easy for the others to compete for one of the eight spots.

It was supposed to be fair competition, but suddenly so many people with connections have emerged.

Lin Jing finally looked at the only one who had little to do with him: the last Nascent Soul genius of the Beast Taming Sect.

The young man had blond hair and a fox-like beard. Lin Jing fell silent upon seeing him.

"What is that guy thinking?"

"After its reincarnation, with its cultivation level, it should have been able to cultivate to the Dao Inquiry stage long ago, but it has been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for a long time. What is it playing house with a human?"

Under Lin Jing's watchful gaze, the blond youth did not notice anything, but the voice of an old fox could be heard emanating from within him.

"Akihito, someone is spying on you."

"Who goes there!" Zhang Mingren exclaimed, waking up with a start.

"Never mind, it's alright, they're not enemies. Your vigilance is too poor," the old fox quickly added, meeting Lin Jing's gaze with his own and giving him a knowing chuckle.

"Your Highness, hello. You must have heard of me from the old pine tree."

“I know you. It’s all thanks to you that Senior Shen Song was able to return to Tianyuan. However, after your reincarnation, why did you come to my Beast Taming Sect as a pet beast?” Lin Jing asked.

This fox is the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the demon fox from the Meteor Sea that Shensong encountered in the void.

"That's a long story. I had a bit of an accident during my reincarnation. I lost my memories and was reborn as a mortal for a while. I almost died, but luckily this kid saved my life. Later, I found out that his fate was also quite bumpy, so I decided to help him out. Your Highness, rest assured, with my friendship with that pine tree, I will definitely not do anything to harm the Beast Taming Sect."

"Oh, by the way, I wonder if he can go to the Origin Realm. I've heard about it."

Lin Jing nodded. A fox repaying a debt of gratitude...

"The top eight in the Beast Taming Competition will be able to go. You can decide which ones to choose." With the addition of this fox demon disciple, Lin Jing felt that there weren't many spots left for other forces.

…………

Afterwards, Lin Jing met with the senior sister who was temporarily in charge of the Beast Taming Sect and finalized the date for the Beast Taming Grand Competition, setting it for five years later to give these Beast Taming prodigies some time to prepare.

Five years is a long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is just a blink of an eye.

Without a Void Profound Daoist cultivator to guide them, it would take a Nascent Soul cultivator more than five years to travel from the Ancient Kingdom of Tianyuan to Qingzhou on their own, should an accident occur along the way.

During this time, Gu Qianqiu was digesting the Dao Fruit. Of the three pet beasts in the forest, only the mechanical turtle was relatively free, searching for secret realms everywhere. The pine leaf rat, dragon carp, and ice soul gu were also digesting the Dao Fruit, and of course, they would occasionally give their followers a little extra help.

As for Lin Jing himself, he has already begun cultivating the Dao of Time, because he remembered that there is also a great master of the Dao of Time, "Star Turtle," on the Tianyuan Continent. If he encounters any confusion at the beginning of his cultivation, it would be convenient to go to the Tianji Tower to ask him for advice.

Before long, the Beast Taming Competition was drawing ever closer, and more and more cultivators from other regions were arriving in Qingzhou. The Beast Taming Sect had also opened a new city at the foot of the mountain to accommodate these guests who had come from afar.

"Gaosheng?"

"Wang Xiao?!"

In this small town, it's perfectly normal for acquaintances to run into each other. Gao Sheng was quite surprised and delighted to see Wang Xiao. Although they had lost contact after graduation, they were both members of the Dragon Palace when they were young.

"Could this be..." Gao Sheng looked at Wang Che beside Wang Xiao and noticed that the other party had transformed his face. He couldn't help but sigh, "You really have a good son. His cultivation is almost catching up with mine."

“Senior Gao,” said Wang Che, who possessed the innate immortal body.

Although he possessed an innate immortal body, he was a disciple of the second-generation ancient emperor, while Gao Sheng was a disciple of the first-generation ancient emperor. Even disregarding his father's status as a classmate, Gao Sheng was undoubtedly a senior.

"Haha." Wang Xiao, who had once been the prodigy of the Wang family, had become greasy. He asked, "Where is that senior?"

"Che'er told me that he has been revived, and you have even become his disciple."

Gao Sheng chuckled and said, "He didn't come with me..."

I went to find Yu Xun'er and advised her not to go to the Origin Realm and fool around with Lin Jing.

"You just arrived in Beast Taming City too? Looks like he's also going to participate in the Beast Taming Competition?" Gao Sheng asked.

“Yes.” Wang Xiao nodded: “The trip to the Origin Realm is a rare opportunity. Even if we have to switch cultivation methods, it’s worth it. His Majesty the Ancient Emperor also agreed. Most importantly, he has lived in the Ancient Kingdom since he was a child, so it’s a good opportunity for him to go out and broaden his horizons.”

"Alright, alright." Gao Sheng nodded and said, "Wang Xiao, I'm going to go and have a chat with Lin Jing now. I haven't seen him since he came back. Do you want to come along?"

“Yes, we will.” Wang Xiao looked at Wang Che: “I was also planning to take him to visit the Lower Forest, so we can go together.”

“Fine, go then. What’s with your son’s fighting spirit?” Gao Sheng was stunned.
