Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 556 The Trembling Ice Soul Gu
Of course, from Lin Jing's perspective, he also felt that his Gu Grandmother was no good.

Its Void Domain is a sea of ​​insects, filled with its Gu offspring. The immortal primordial spirit of the Ice Soul Gu absorbs the life force of these offspring Gu to generate immortal power.

The problem is that its Void Realm is fundamentally different from that of the Forest Realm and the Leaf Rat.

Lin Jing can ensure the eternal existence of the Mosquito Beast clan by relying on the cycle of life and death and his own immortal blood.

The leaf rat is similar; its primordial spirit space is very suitable for plant growth. These plants can then mate and reproduce on their own, essentially transforming its own power into immortal power through multiple transformations.

However, the Ice Soul Gu, being a simple offspring Gu, has a short lifespan, and reproducing offspring Gu consumes a huge amount of energy. It cannot contribute a large amount of life force as efficiently as the Mosquito Beast, which reproduces through the blood of immortality and has a cycle of life and death, or the Longevity Pine Demon.

Therefore, its offspring Gu needs to devour the life force of others to maintain its own life force. It can be considered sustainable development, but in reality, its method of generating immortal power is more similar to that of the dragon carp, and it cannot be cyclical.

However, compared to the Dragon Carp, the advantage of the Ice Soul Gu is that it does not need to do things personally like the Dragon Carp. It has a gentler approach and only needs to act as a "loan shark" demon to continuously collect life force.

It can lend its offspring to cultivators who need power, allowing them to exchange their lifespan for power in a fair transaction.

As for Hoshijutsu-tsuru, well, he's the most honest.

After all this time, he still hasn't been corrupted by Lin Jing and the others; he's only created the Universe Dao Void Profound Domain with different time flow rates.

The simplest and most direct way it generates immortal power is by consuming its own lifespan to convert it into immortal power.

This is so convenient. In fact, Lin Jing also wanted to do this so that he wouldn't have to bother the mosquito beast. However, although he and Xing Shouhe are both long-lived species, they are still different in essence.

Having inherited the divine powers of rare beasts from the universe, the Star Longevity Crane, nourished by a large amount of top-grade immortal energy, can now reverse its own time. In other words, just as it has devoured its own lifespan and transformed it into immortal power, it can immediately use its rare beast powers to reverse the lifespan it has consumed.

In this way, it can generate immortal power on its own by only expending some basic magical power.

Although Lin Jing's mastery of the Dao of Time is quite good, he is clearly not at the level of Xing Shouhe. After all, Xing Shouhe directly inherited the Dao of Time from a certain immortal, while Lin Jing started cultivating from scratch.

"Dragon Carp, how long will it take to repair this plaque?" Lin Jing summoned the Dragon Carp and tossed it the mid-grade immortal artifact that he had snatched back from the Magic Elemental Mushroom.

The dragon carp was completely bewildered. It had never even refined a low-grade immortal artifact before, yet it wanted to cultivate a mid-grade immortal artifact right away.

"Pop..." The dragon carp stared wide-eyed, indicating that if it didn't mind the loss of top-grade immortal energy, it could only say that it would give it a try and repair it as soon as possible.

"You should know better than me that this immortal artifact is just rusty because it hasn't received immortal energy for too long. It's not really damaged. Next, I'll throw you into the Grand Array of the Universe. Use the top-grade immortal energy as you like and repair it as soon as possible."

"If its effects are truly remarkable, it will be the key to our breakthrough in the Dao!"

Lin Jing plans to write phrases like "Rapid Progress," "Leap Forward," and "Beast Taming Ascension" on the plaque to accelerate his and his pets' cultivation speed.

At that time, with the help of the Golden Core of cultivation and the Space Dao Array Flag, they can obtain a higher level of cultivation in the shortest possible time.

The Heavenly Demon Body... can only be used by oneself, not by the pets. Since Lin Jing is going to have a life-or-death battle with the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor, he naturally has to choose to fight together, and the higher the cultivation level of the pets, the better.

"Alright, you can start cultivating the immortal artifact here from now on. Be sure to do it as soon as possible."

…………

The next morning.

Lin's mother prepared breakfast and woke Lin Jing up early, although... Lin Jing hadn't slept all night.

One day on Earth is equivalent to one year in the Tianyuan Realm. Sleeping for one night wastes countless hours, and Lin Jing is reluctant to close his eyes even for a second. He wishes he could use the Space Dao Array to divide the night into countless segments. These past few days, Lin Jing's task for himself has been to spend time with his parents during the day and to delve into the Void Profound Realm within the Space Dao Array Flags at night.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Lan approached Lin Jing: "My master would like to see you, is that convenient?"

“What’s inconvenient about that? I already mentioned before that I wanted to thank the Hermit of Lushan. This is a good opportunity to express my gratitude.”

Lin Jing and Lin Lan's parents took the visit to the Hermit of Mount Lu very seriously, as he was their savior and they insisted that the two of them bring back many gifts.

In order to protect Lin Lan and her parents as soon as possible, the Hermit of Mount Lu lived not far away, so it did not take Lin Jing and the others long to get there.

"Celestial Spirit Body..."

The moment Lin Jing saw the Hermit of Mount Lu, he knew why the man, despite his advanced age, could cultivate to the early stage of Foundation Establishment in such an environment. It turned out that he was a Heavenly Spirit Body, whose cultivation speed was said to be unaffected by age.

Lin Lan, who was standing next to him, also had this physique, which may be the reason why the Hermit of Mount Lu took Lin Lan as his disciple.

"Master, we've arrived. This is my cousin, Lin Jing. What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"

Upon seeing the Hermit of Mount Lu, Lin Lan immediately introduced him. Lin Jing, standing beside him, also bowed. This was a bow of profound wisdom, which was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could accept, but since the other party had been kind to his parents, Lin Jing was willing to perform this bow.

"Thank you for saving my life."

"Hehe... No need to thank me, this is fate between me and Lan'er." The Hermit of Mount Lu was very easygoing, but then he frowned and said, "Strange, I can't see through your realm no matter what. Could it be that you are a corpse cultivator and don't cultivate true qi? No, even if it is corpse qi or evil qi, I can't feel it at all."

“I knew it,” Lin Lan said from the side. “Master, can’t you see what’s wrong with him either?”

Lin Jing was speechless. Why did they bring up corpse cultivators again? It seems he should just keep his cultivation level a secret from now on.

"Alright, since Lan'er has accepted you, I won't interfere any further. That's why I called you all here..."

"Is it about the grand gathering of cultivators?" Lin Lan asked.

"No. There's another one." The Hermit of Mount Lu's expression was extremely serious: "Do you remember that I told you before that your parents were injured by Gu poison?"

"When you asked me before who or which force poisoned you, I didn't tell you. I said I didn't know either, because I didn't want you to seek revenge. After all, that group of people is very powerful, and even the Dao Alliance doesn't dare to provoke them easily."

"However, I received news some time ago that... that force seems to have been completely wiped out!!! I don't know which expert destroyed them."

"If that were all, it would be gratifying. Such cultivators who harm mortals should die. However, I recently heard that there is still a fake Dan-level ancestor in that sect. After emerging from seclusion, he was furious to see the sect destroyed and launched an indiscriminate revenge. Anyone who had any grudges against that sect or who might have hatred towards it was targeted for revenge."

“Your parents, although they are victims and may only be one of the countless victims persecuted by the sect’s peripheral disciples, also have the motive for revenge. Anyone with the motive for revenge, no matter how slight, will be targeted by this fake Dan Ancestor and subjected to indiscriminate revenge. I am worried that your parents will also be drawn into his revenge later.”

“I have friends in the Dao Alliance. I’m thinking of using my connections to send your parents to Penglai Immortal Island to hide for a while until the Dao Alliance deals with this demon. Then they can return to the city. What do you think? This will prevent them from suffering this undeserved disaster.”

After the hermit of Mount Lu finished speaking, Lin Lan immediately became extremely nervous and uneasy.

However, at this moment, Lin Jing narrowed his eyes, causing the Ice Soul Gu in Lin Jing's body to tremble.

"It wasn't entirely an undeserved disaster, because I ordered my men to destroy that sect..."

"Little Bingzi, did you even carry out your mission properly? Weren't you supposed to eliminate all the people involved? Where did this fake Dan Ancestor come from? Give me an explanation."

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, both the Hermit of Mount Lu and Lin Lan looked at him with disbelief. The Ice Soul Gu exclaimed that it was impossible; how could it have missed someone? There was definitely something fishy going on. The other party probably had a treasure to conceal themselves!
