Chapter 529: Cultivating the Demoness
The bodies of the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor still held some value that hadn't been fully squeezed out. However, after using the Dao Fruit Technique a few times, Lin Jing felt that even if he were to ask the Dao, not all the spells on their bodies were worth extracting.
It was better to only extract the spells they were most proficient in; accepting everything indiscriminately would easily pollute his own database.
It was just a pity that the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor were of too high a realm. Otherwise, Lin Jing wouldn't have given them to Senior Shen Song as fertilizer, but would have let Gu Qianqiu contract them as corpse puppets or soul pets.
However, even without them, Lin Jing had thought of another good thing for Gu Qianqiu.
"You're here." Gu Qianqiu looked at the descending Lin Jing and asked, "Is it time to go to the Source Realm?"
"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. "But before that, you should digest these two Dao Fruits first. You don't need to receive them all in one go; you can learn them slowly."
"These two Dao Fruits were extracted from the Corpse Emperor and the Skeleton Emperor. They contain their experience in controlling corpses and spirits. Use these experiences as a guide, and you can contract corpse beasts and soul spirits as pets. In a short time, the combat power you can obtain will be even stronger."
"Okay." Gu Qianqiu didn't have much of a reaction to such a heavy treasure, listening entirely to Lin Jing's arrangements. Her experiences in the Heavenly Lion Clan wouldn't make her picky about the source of power.
"And then?" After taking the Dao Fruits, Gu Qianqiu saw that Lin Jing still had something to say.
"Actually, I have also prepared a corpse puppet for you, which can be contracted as your first pet." Lin Jing chuckled and, under Gu Qianqiu's gaze, took out a corpse.
A black dragon corpse.
"This is..." Gu Qianqiu's expression changed. As a Soul Transformation cultivator herself, she could clearly feel that this dragon corpse was also at the Soul Transformation realm when alive, likely at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation. Even though it was dead, this dragon corpse gave her a tremendous sense of oppression, extremely powerful, even surpassing the Heavenly Lion Ancestor.
"It is one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Sheng E. I killed him in the Source Realm. His true form is a black dragon with quasi-immortal bloodline. The bloodline strength is very close to an immortal-level bloodline; a single bloodline is not inferior to the power of some ordinary immortal bodies."
"And this is only a part of its power. Inside its body, besides the dragon bloodline, there is also a hidden quasi-immortal beast bloodline. Both of these bloodlines were nurtured by Demon Emperor-level powerhouses using core essence blood, with infinite talent. Finally... there is the perfect Demon bloodline, something even Senior Shen Song fears."
"If it weren't for the fact that he had already been killed by me and was difficult to possess, and the Refining Heaven Demon Ancestor was still hanging on by a thread and was easier to possess, if Senior Shen Song had a choice, he would definitely have chosen this Demon Sect Holy Son to possess."
"But now, you can refine the corpse of this Demon Sect Holy Son into a corpse puppet and then contract it as a pet. By then, even if his bloodline power drops a notch due to death, looking at the Source Realm and the Soul Transformation realm, there will definitely be few people who are your enemies."
」
"Okay." The pile of great gifts Lin Jing sent made Gu Qianqiu exceptionally serious. She naturally understood the preciousness of this and couldn't help but swear that after arriving in the Source Realm, she would definitely help Lin Jing.
"Keep it up. I have an immortal beast corpse here, but with your current ability, it's hard to control, even if you receive the Corpse Emperor's power. It's the same. When you get to the Source Realm, you can also try to comprehend the Dao of Life and Death. When you can control that immortal beast corpse, I will pass that 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 Fruits.
And he, after finishing the private tutoring for his own people, finally began to reply to the Eldest Senior Sister.
【Eldest Senior Sister, help me release the news. I will return to the Source Realm in a while. The eight spots for this trip to the Source Realm will be decided by the Beast-Taming Battle. Wait for my notification. By then, have all the beast-taming cultivators who meet the conditions come to the Beast-Taming Sect's address. After all, for this first time, the Beast-Taming Sect can hardly gather eight Soul Transformation beast-taming prodigies. This time, let's give other forces some opportunities.】
Beast-Taming Sect.
Xu Qingyao, the Demon Court Holy Maiden, had long since stopped living in the Demon Court and had moved back to the sect to develop the Beast-Taming Sect's power for Lin Jing's plan.
After receiving Lin Jing's message, she informed the world in the names of the Demon Court, the Beast-Taming Sect, and Lin Jing.
In order to obtain a spot to go to the Source Realm, many forces had already specially established beast-taming institutions to cultivate beast-taming cultivators. Some large forces had even cultivated Soul Transformation beast-taming cultivators.
However, these forces didn't know when they would be able to obtain a Source Realm spot. After all, Lin Jing had said at the time that all spots in the Source Realm were prioritized for the Beast-Taming Sect, and only when the number of Beast-Taming Sect prodigies was insufficient would other forces be given a chance.
"Great!!"
"I knew that with the Beast-Taming Sect's foundation, where would they find eight Soul Transformation beast-taming disciples to cultivate in these few decades?"
"Cultivating three or four is fine, but cultivating eight, even with the Demon Court's support, is not an easy task."
Upon learning that a certain number of spots would be allocated for this trip to the Source Realm, to be decided by the Beast-Taming Battle, all parties were overjoyed.
Heavenly Origin Ancient Kingdom.
The Second Generation Ancient Emperor sat in the empty hall, pondering the message transmitted from the Beast-Taming Sect. After thinking for a while, he issued an imperial edict.
A moment later.
Inside the capital's Wang family, after a flash of immortal light, an incomparably handsome young man knelt halfway before the Second Generation Ancient Emperor.
"Disciple pays respects to Master."
"Wang Che, in a short while, the Beast-Taming Sect in Qingzhou will hold a Beast-Taming Battle to decide the spots for the Source Realm. The reason I had you switch from the True Dragon Secret Art to cultivating the Beast-Taming Art is for this trip to the Source Realm."
"If you can successfully reach the Source Realm, I want you to collect Source Realm dragon veins and bring them back to Heavenly Origin..."
"The more, the better." The Second Generation Ancient Emperor issued the order. Last time, Gu Xinghe, Gu Youran, and others entered the Source Realm without much success, but it wasn't without any harvest. The Second Generation Ancient Emperor discovered the opportunity for the evolution of the True Dragon Secret Art in a Source Realm dragon vein they brought back.
Thus, he intended to let this newly accepted disciple of his, who possessed an Innate Immortal Body, go to the Source Realm on his behalf to collect resources.
"Disciple will definitely complete the mission..."
"Master, I heard that the Beast-Taming Sect Holy Son Lin Jing has already gained a firm foothold in the Source Realm and is incomparably powerful. Although he was born earlier than me and is of the same generation as my father, I am now also at the Soul Transformation cultivation level. After switching to the Dragon-Driving Art personally improved by you, I have even contracted a True Dragon of Luck. Can I challenge him? After all, my father Wang Xiao's expectation for me has always been to defeat Lin Jing. Since he is now also only at the Soul Transformation cultivation level, I..."
"Fool!"
The Second Generation Ancient Emperor frowned. "There are many Immortal Bodies in the Source Realm. Since he can become one of the best among them, how could he be so easily caught up to by you? Your mission is to defeat all the beast-taming cultivators of the Beast-Taming Sect and other forces. Just don't disgrace the Ancient Kingdom's prestige. Don't provoke Lin Jing."
"Being at the same Soul Transformation level, I am even an Innate Immortal Body. He can at most cultivate into an Acquired Immortal Body. As long as he doesn't use the legendary Heavenly Demon Body to raise his realm, why wouldn't I have a chance? If he uses the Heavenly Demon Body against a junior like me, it's no different from losing." Being reprimanded by the Second Generation Ancient Emperor, Wang Che felt very unconvinced, thinking to himself, in a battle at the same level, he had never lost! ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
