Chapter 531: Collapse of the Dao Heart

~16 min read 3,083 words

Beast-Taming Sect.

After releasing the news that he would preside over the Beast-Taming Grand Competition, Lin Jing had actually calculated that old friends would come to visit.

"Gao Sheng?"

During this period, he hadn't returned to Mount Xianlao but had been residing in the Beast-Taming Sect. Mainly, the Pine-Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp hadn't been home for a long time, and this Beast-Taming mountain gate was their hometown.

"Wang Xiao is also here, and he brought his immortal-bodied son?"

Lin Jing was surprised. If he remembered correctly, Wang Xiao's son with the innate immortal body seemed to have the "Universe Immortal Body," which could reverse yin and yang and overturn the universe. It was considered quite outstanding among immortal bodies, although far inferior to Chaos, Xie Wuji, and other immortal bodies, it wasn't bad and couldn't be considered ordinary.

Giving birth to such a son could be considered Wang Xiao's good luck. However, Lin Jing felt that letting his son take the Second Generation Ancient Emperor as a master was a bad move.

This idiot, it would have been so much better to send his son directly to the Beast-Taming Sect.

He had seen that he wasn't smart before, and it was true.

However, Lin Jing also understood that the Second Generation Ancient Emperor would never allow such a situation to happen. It was estimated that as soon as Wang Che was born, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor descended on the scene. Facing the Second Generation Ancient Emperor's idea of taking an apprentice, could the Wang family in the Ancient Kingdom refuse?

"Taking the Ancient Emperor as a master, yet not cultivating the True Dragon Secret Art but the Beast-Taming Art, then why not send him directly to the Beast-Taming Sect?" Lin Jing's spiritual sense fell on Beast-Taming City, and he rolled his eyes, understanding that the Second Generation Ancient Emperor wanted this Wang Che to go to the Source Realm on his behalf again.

Lin Jing glanced at the Star-Life Crane beside him and said: "You go down first."

"Then I'll go find the Sect Master's wife." The Star-Life Crane muttered. When the Pine-Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp returned to the Beast-Taming Sect, it was like going home, but when the Star-Life Crane came here, it seemed a bit cramped and didn't dare to wander around the Beast-Taming Sect.

However, once Sect Master Xu Xiaoyao and his wife held a banquet for Lin Jing, the Sect Master's wife, who was also a crane, liked the Star-Life Crane very much, pulling it to talk about family matters, making the Star-Life Crane feel warmth for the first time in a long time. This feeling was something it couldn't experience in the demon den on Lin Jing's side.

Besides cultivating the Dao of Space-Time with Lin Jing, the Star-Life Crane now liked to run to find the Sect Master's wife in its spare time, listening to her and the Sect Master's love story.

"Sure enough, the gentleness of time will wear away hatred." Looking at the Star-Life Crane's departing back, Lin Jing shook his head. The fallen princess who used to shout about revenge all day long could now be considered a bit more normal. Lin Jing actually hoped to see this situation. Although if the Star-Life Crane remained in hatred, it would make its cultivation more diligent, putting all its energy into cultivation, but that was too damaging to the body and mind.

Letting the Sect Master's wife take care of the Star-Life Crane was actually Lin Jing's secret request. Revenge against the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Prison Blood Demon God was something that even if the Star-Life Crane worked hard itself, it couldn't be completed in a short time. Keeping its spirit tense all the time was not conducive to its cultivation.

Lin Jing understood that whether the Star-Life Crane could successfully take revenge mostly depended on himself, this beast-tamer. Only if he, this beast-tamer, was strong enough, could it successfully take revenge. So instead of forcing the Star-Life Crane to cultivate, it was better for himself to work harder. Although Lin Jing always said the Star-Life Crane was too old, for the lifespan of the Star-Life Crane clan, its age of twenty-something was just a newborn baby compared to humans. It was better to smooth out the trauma of childhood first.

After a while, Gao Sheng, Wang Xiao, and Wang Che were invited by Lin Jing to the Beast-Taming Sect. He took out the good tea brought back from the Source Realm and personally entertained these two old classmates.

"Long time no see."

Gao Sheng was more familiar with Lin Jing and relatively less reserved, while Wang Xiao really hadn't seen Lin Jing for a long time. Since Lin Jing was teleported to Qingzhou, he had never seen him again.

"Brother Gao, Brother Wang." Lin Jing chuckled and said: "Brother Wang, you really gave birth to a good son."

"Thanks to Mr. Cao Ziwei. The child's mother was also introduced to me by Mr. Cao." Wang Xiao also became emotional.

"As expected of Mr. Cao of the Wife-Prospering Art, haha." The three looked at each other, chatting about memes that only students of the academy would understand, and the distance of time was instantly shortened.

"Che'er, why don't you call Uncle Lin yet." Wang Xiao said. Beside him, Wang Che, who possessed the Universe Immortal Body, had been observing what was so powerful about Lin Jing. However, after observing for a long time, he could only observe that he was just a Soul Transformation Great Perfection cultivator whose physical body, magic power, vitality, and primordial spirit power were relatively stronger than ordinary Soul Transformation cultivators.

"Uncle Lin." Although Wang Che really wanted to challenge Lin Jing, he also knew it was inappropriate at the moment.

"Alright." It was the first time Lin Jing had been called uncle, and he felt strange. Even if he was called senior, he didn't feel that he was very old, but being called uncle made him feel inexplicably that time waits for no one.

"Since you called me uncle, I must give you a meeting gift for our first meeting." Lin Jing took out a jade box and smiled, handing it to Wang Che. The other party was slightly startled upon seeing this.

"A wisp of immortal energy. If you want to go to the Source Realm, this wisp of immortal energy will be of great use to you." Lin Jing smiled.

"This is too precious." Wang Xiao was very surprised upon seeing this. His friendship with Lin Jing didn't seem to be to this extent. This immortal energy was hard to find even for a Questioning Dao cultivator.

"Damn, immortal energy." Gao Sheng looked at Lin Jing and understood that this rich guy Lin Jing definitely had nowhere to put his immortal energy.

"Accept it." Lin Jing said: "With your current strength, it's still too early to challenge me. Use this immortal energy to improve your strength, and it won't be too late to think about challenging me then."

Lin Jing wasn't unable to perceive the fighting spirit hidden in this Universe Immortal Body. He smiled and looked at Wang Xiao, and he could understand it. After all, his father had been beaten up by himself countless times. It was understandable for a father to instill this concept in his son.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" Wang Che took a deep breath, still unable to resist the temptation of immortal energy. However, he still looked conflicted.

"Sorry, I couldn't suppress my fighting spirit."

"However, having heard the legends of Senior Lin since I was a child from my father and other places, I still want to know how big the gap between me and Uncle Lin really is." After accepting the gift, Wang Che couldn't be too proud, and his goal changed from wanting to defeat Lin Jing to wanting to know how big the gap was.

"You kid, why are you as stubborn as your old man." Beside him, Gao Sheng was speechless, but he also knew that this innate immortal body was indeed invincible in Tianyuan. Developing such a psychology was purely normal. Back then, Wang Xiao also didn't believe in evil, but ended up being beaten by Lin Jing again and again.

"Hmm..." Facing Wang Che's gaze, Lin Jing pondered for a moment. He really didn't want to bully a junior; wasn't this bullying people?

Just then, Lin Jing sensed something and smiled, saying: "If you want to challenge me, you can. You first defeat another person, and I will accept your challenge. How about it? The other party also just switched to the Beast-Taming Art not long ago, with my help."

"Just follow the standard of the Beast-Taming Grand Competition."

"Who?"

"Me." Gu Qianqiu walked into Lin Jing's reception hall. She had just arrived at Beast-Taming City when she was called by Lin Jing.

Who is this!

After Gu Qianqiu entered, Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao's brains were blank for a while.

In their memory, they had no impression of Gu Qianqiu at all.

This was also normal. After all, after Gu Qianqiu escaped from the Heavenly Lion Clan, she had been cultivating hard in Lin Jing's territory.

Although she served as the captain of the demon-catching team, she rarely took action personally, basically commanding the Mosquito Woman to carry out missions.

It could be said that although Lin Jing and Gu Qianqiu had made a huge scene in the Heavenly Lion Clan back then, because Gu Qianqiu had no news later, most people thought she had ended her life because she used the Heavenly Demon Body and exhausted her lifespan.

"She is Gu Qianqiu."

"You might not be very familiar with this name."

"But if I talk about her experience, you might know."

"More than a hundred years ago, I made a huge scene in the Heavenly Lion Clan with her." Lin Jing smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao were instantly stunned.

Lin Jing's previous Long-Life Body, the Heavenly Lion Holy Maiden?!

Actually... already reached the Soul Transformation cultivation base.

And also switched to the Beast-Taming Art?

Then this, isn't this a female version of Lin Jing?

"Who..." Compared to cultivators of the same generation like Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao, Wang Che, who was born later, although he quickly cultivated to the Soul Transformation stage with the advantage of an immortal body, his experience hadn't kept up because he had never left the Ancient Kingdom, and he was somewhat unfamiliar with this history.

Lin Jing had too many legendary deeds. The protagonist of the huge scene in the Heavenly Lion Clan was the Heavenly Lion Holy Maiden Gu Qianqiu, and Wang Che hadn't heard of it.

"Fellow Daoist Gu."

Wang Xiao and Gao Sheng saw this and clasped their fists one after another. Although Gu Qianqiu was older, the few had no special relationship and the same cultivation base, so they only needed to treat each other as peers.

"Hello." Gu Qianqiu was quite cold to people other than Lin Jing.

She looked at Wang Che, who wanted to challenge Lin Jing, and spoke slowly: "You want to challenge him?"

"Relying on a Universe Immortal Body alone is not enough. Young man, it's better not to be too ambitious."

"I want to try. Please enlighten me." Wang Che spoke, not understanding what Lin Jing meant by this.

Lin Jing was one thing. He suppressed the acquired immortal body Senior Brother Gu Xinghe, defeated many innate immortal bodies in the Source Realm, and had supernatural power configurations like the Heavenly Demon Body and Long-Life Body that could wrestle with Questioning Dao cultivators. It was understandable that everyone didn't look favorably on him.

However, this Gu Qianqiu, whom he had never heard of, did Lin Jing think she could defeat his Universe Immortal Body?

Wang Che didn't believe it. Since Lin Jing let him pass Gu Qianqiu's level first, he would ask for advice and see.

"Let's go to the back mountain." Lin Jing chuckled, just wanting to see how Gu Qianqiu's corpse-control secret art was cultivated.

"Please enlighten me."

Wang Che, Universe Immortal Body, Soul Transformation mid-stage cultivation.

Gu Qianqiu, Long-Life Body, Soul Transformation early-stage cultivation.

Both of them cultivated the Beast-Taming Art. However, what Wang Che cultivated was the Dragon-Controlling Art improved by the Second Generation Ancient Emperor, which, on the basis of being able to contract demon beasts, could also contract illusory conceptual creatures like the "True Dragon of Luck."

And what Gu Qianqiu cultivated was Lin Jing's version of the Beast-Taming Art. For the beast-taming prodigies about to enter the Source Realm, Lin Jing would also have to pass them the improved version that could contract spirits; otherwise, the grand plan of letting Source Realm spirits go to Tianyuan couldn't be implemented.

"Who do you think will win?" Gao Sheng looked at Wang Xiao beside him.

Wang Xiao curled his lips and said: "Does this even need thinking? It must be Che'er. What is Lin Jing thinking? If you say Che'er is not his match, I believe it. But you can't say that any random Long-Life Body has the same strength as him. An innate immortal body can even fight Void Profound!"

"Is that so?" Gao Sheng picked his nose. That was what was said, but Lin Jing letting Gu Qianqiu fight, it couldn't be just to watch Gu Qianqiu lose, right?

But Gao Sheng was actually quite curious about how Gu Qianqiu could win.

Just now Lin Jing said to follow the standard of the Beast-Taming Grand Competition. In the Beast-Taming Grand Competition, it was required to only use secret arts related to beast-taming, so secret arts like the Heavenly Demon Body were definitely outside the rules and could not be used.

Without the Heavenly Demon Body, what other advantages did Gu Qianqiu, this Long-Life Body, have? Gao Sheng couldn't think of any.

"Five Dragons Facing the Court!" As soon as the battle began, Wang Che waved his hand and actually summoned five True Dragons of Luck at the Soul Transformation cultivation base. These five True Dragons of Luck had a momentum even stronger than the dragon clan with ancestor-level bloodlines at the same realm, and their power was unimaginable.

Besides this, on their bodies, there was even more of the immortal body power to reverse the universe and overturn yin and yang.

"The Universe Immortal Body can transfer one's own unfavorable factors to others and transfer others' favorable factors to oneself. And I have distributed the immortal body power to the five True Dragon bodies, making them also seem to possess an immortal body."

Wang Che spoke confidently. The True Dragons that obtained the immortal body power were like having divine help. Any injuries they received could be instantly transferred to the enemy. He really couldn't think of how he could lose.

However, facing the very confident Wang Che, Gu Qianqiu just sighed and summoned the corpse of Sheng E...

"ROAR!!!!"

The black dragon revealed its dragon head from the ripples in the void and just roared at the five True Dragons opposite. With a "bang," it was like the sky shattering. Wang Che's expression changed instantly. The terrifying Heavenly Demon roar directly shattered the immortal body power on the True Dragons of Luck, blowing Wang Che away.

In the black wind, Wang Che's heart shattered, looking at that huge dragon corpse, showing an expression of incomprehension.

"What is this."

What kind of thing could instantly shatter the True Dragons of Luck with the addition of universe power? With endless shock and horror, this Universe Immortal Body, who had never experienced defeat, was blown directly into the mountain body, smashing a huge mountain to pieces.

Compared to the pet, the immortal body power on Wang Che himself was stronger, and it did indeed instantly transfer the damage he received back to Sheng E's corpse. However, when Wang Che crawled out of the ruins, he saw that after bearing the damage of his own attack, there were only a few scratches on the corpse, not even counting as injuries.

This showed that the other party's attack just now was only a negligible blow, unable to break his defense, yet it could cause him fatal damage!

Although he wasn't injured because of the universe power, looking at Gu Qianqiu standing beside the black dragon corpse pet, Wang Che didn't know how to continue the counterattack for a while, and his Dao heart was somewhat broken.

This woman... is ridiculously strong.

Maybe even stronger than Senior Sister Gu Youran.

Let alone him, Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao beside him were also stunned there, not understanding what this black dragon was.

Is it a monster?

What kind of demon beast could suppress an immortal body? Are you kidding me?

Where did this Gu Qianqiu contract such a monster?

"Do you want to continue?" Lin Jing smiled and said: "This black dragon is one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon World. He was killed by me in the Source Realm. Each of his bloodlines is not much weaker than the so-called immortal body power. And similar power, he has several."

"I..." Hearing this, Wang Che was incomparably shocked. This black dragon is actually a Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect? As a disciple of the Ancient Emperor, he naturally knew that the Heavenly Demon Sect was the culprit behind the closure of the ascension channel and the culprit behind the chaos in the lower world, a top-level force in the myriad worlds. Such an existence became a pet?

Is the Beast-Taming Art used like this? ===== CHAPTER 532 =====

"Do you still want to continue?" Lin Jing smiled and said, "This black dragon is one of the Holy Sons of the Heavenly Demon Realm. I killed it in the Source Realm. Each of its bloodlines is not much weaker than the power of a so-called immortal body. And it has several such powers."

"I..." Hearing this, Wang Che was incomparably shocked. This black dragon was actually a Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect? As a disciple of the Ancient Emperor, he naturally knew that the Heavenly Demon Sect was the culprit behind the closing of the ascension passage, the mastermind behind the chaos in the lower realms, and the top"

"tier power of the myriad worlds. Such an existence turned into a pet beast?"

"Is that how the Beast-Taming Art is used?"
