Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 74Book 3: : Three Methods

Vol 3 Chapter 74: Three Methods

"Still, we have to give it a try." Lin Jing spoke.

"Yeah, but it's a pity that the Thunder Qilin lineage of the Qilin Clan has long been extinct. Otherwise, we could just find a genius from the Qilin Clan directly." Xu Qingyao shook her head.

"Among the demonic beasts that follow me, there isn't a suitable candidate. I just thought about it, and the most qualified should be the Thunder Dragon Clan."

"Thunder Dragon Clan?"

"Yes, the Thunder Dragon Clan originated from electric eels transforming into dragons. They belong to the acquired dragon species, but their ancestor, the Thunder Dragon Patriarch, was exceptionally talented and reached the Void Mystical Demon Ancestor stage... If I recall correctly, the current little princess of the Thunder Dragon Clan is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. She has the purest ancestral bloodline of the clan in the past thousand years."

"The dragon race has incredibly strong bodies, and with its lightning-infused bloodline, it should be better suited to withstand the tribulation. Within the Demon Court, under the Demon Core stage, it is probably the best choice."

"Then let’s go with that." Lin Jing nodded and said, "Senior Sister, please ask the Thunder Dragon Clan if they’re willing to try."

Xu Qingyao spoke, "That’s simple. Just like the Qilin Clan, the Thunder Dragon Clan has not assisted any of the Holy Maidens, but as a Holy Maiden, I was once gifted a Dragon Pearl by the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, which allows me to contact them directly."

After she finished speaking, she took out a glowing sphere crackling with electricity and infused her mana into it.

In the next instant.

A spectral image of a divine dragon with blue scales and a white body, enveloped in lightning, emerged from the Dragon Pearl—it was none other than the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader’s Dharma body.

"Holy Maiden Xu??" The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader looked surprised. Lately, Holy Maiden Xu Qingyao had been unusually active—not only did she suppress the other two Holy Maidens at the Qilin Tea Ceremony, but she had also gained the support of the Qilin Clan!

"Senior Thunder Dragon." Xu Qingyao greeted, "It's been a while."

"Holy Maiden Xu, what is the reason for contacting me?" The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader asked.

Xu Qingyao replied, "My research on transformation has made new progress—I’ve developed a new variety of the Transformation Grass."

"Hmm??" The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader was momentarily stunned before breaking into a delighted smile. "That is great news! What makes this new variety different from the previous Transformation Grass?"

"The new Transformation Grass can trigger the Tribulation of Transformation. As long as the physical body endures the baptism of this tribulation, it should be able to transform into a demon race..." Xu Qingyao explained.

"Tribulation of Transformation..." The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader frowned. "What level of power does this tribulation possess?"

"It’s equivalent to a peak Nascent Soul lightning cultivator’s full-strength attack… However, only Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts can consume this Transformation Grass." Xu Qingyao paused. "Of course, I have obtained Lightning-Avoiding Pills from the Ginseng King Tribe, so as long as the Foundation Establishment genius is proficient in lightning techniques and has a strong body, they might be able to withstand the tribulation."

The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader chuckled and immediately understood everything. "So, Holy Maiden Xu, you wish for my daughter to be the test subject for this new Transformation Grass?"

"A Tribulation of Transformation… such a thing has never been heard of! In ancient times, whether one transformed by directly consuming Transformation Grass or by cultivating transformation techniques, there was never any tribulation. Holy Maiden Xu, how can you guarantee that after surviving this near-death tribulation, one will definitely transform into the demon race?"

Xu Qingyao hesitated and looked at Lin Jing—there was no guarantee. This was all based on Lin Jing’s theory, and no one could be certain that surviving the tribulation would result in transformation.

"If I recall correctly, Holy Maiden Xu, you have developed two types of Transformation Pills before, both of which ended in failure. The side effects were severe, and several genius demonic beasts perished in the experiments. Even though it was all for the grand plan of reviving the demon race, this kind of unguaranteed risk—I cannot comply. My daughter is the hope of the Thunder Dragon Clan, and as her father, I cannot let her take such a gamble."

Xu Qingyao wanted to say something, but the Dragon Pearl's glow dimmed, and the projection shook its head before dissipating.

Xu Qingyao sighed, while Meng Jing beside her said, "Senior Sister, don’t be discouraged. It’s understandable—if we consider this from the perspective of the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, his decision makes sense."

"Yes, the eldest princess of the Thunder Dragon Clan is indeed their hope. Letting her bet everything on such a slim possibility is truly unrealistic. If she succeeds, it would be great, but if she fails, they would not only lose her but also earn the enmity of the Thunder Dragon Clan."

"So, what do we do now?" Senior Sister looked toward the Dragon Pearl. "Can you investigate again and see if there’s another suitable beast?"

"Forget it." The Dragon Pearl projection shook its head again. "I feel like the result will be the same. You should just cultivate a suitable candidate yourselves."

"Cultivate one ourselves??" Xu Qingyao paused, then realized. "That’s right! It only needs to be at the Foundation Establishment stage. With enough resources, we should be able to train one in a few years! And with targeted cultivation, it might yield even better results!"

"Most importantly, we can directly select those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the revival of the demon race."

"Exactly." Lin Jing spoke slowly. "I have three methods in mind. Senior Sister, would you like to hear them?"

"Go ahead."

"Senior Sister, do you remember the mosquito beast that died during the Transformation Tribulation? That mosquito beast was one of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea, and its species has a unique trait—the more there are, the stronger their individual attributes become."

"A million mosquito beasts can threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator. A hundred million can be nearly invincible below the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. According to records, the theoretical limit of a mosquito swarm is ten billion. A ten-billion-strong mosquito swarm would make even Nascent Soul Transformation cultivators avoid them."

"The mosquito beast that failed to transcend the tribulation earlier died because it was alone. But if we cultivated ten billion mosquito beasts, then let just one of them undergo the tribulation while the others supported it—along with various medicinal aids—perhaps it could succeed. Most importantly, with enough numbers, even if one or two attempts fail, we can keep trying until we succeed."

"Oh? I recall that mosquito beasts reproduce by absorbing blood—the higher the quality of the blood, the faster they reproduce. The Demon Court is overflowing with high-quality blood, including various types of demon ancestor blood. It is indeed possible to raise a ten-billion-strong mosquito army..." Xu Qingyao found this method feasible.

"What about the other two methods?" Seeing Lin Jing nod, Xu Qingyao asked further.

"The second method is the one Senior Sister just mentioned—training a suitable tribulation survivor normally within the Demon Court."

"As for the third... My Ice Soul Gu is currently at the Foundation Establishment stage. If I merge with it, we will be treated as one entity and can face the tribulation together. However, this would put me at great risk, so I personally don’t want to try it. I still prefer the ten-billion mosquito swarm plan."

"Then let's go with that plan." Xu Qingyao agreed. "I’ll be responsible for finding enough demon blood for you."

Lin Jing smiled. "However, there’s still one major issue with this plan—controlling a ten-billion-strong mosquito swarm is beyond our capabilities. It will be difficult to get them to cooperate, and their ferocity will be hard to suppress. So, there’s one more thing I must ask Senior Sister to handle—taming their bloodthirsty nature."

"Just tell me what you need."

"The Myriad Beast Circle from Myriad Beast Sect. We’ll need a large number of them, and ideally, we should also obtain their sect’s treasure—the Beast God Circle."

Xu Qingyao smirked. "Myriad Beast Sect, huh? I’ve been wanting to deal with them for a while now. This is the perfect chance to annex them into the Beast Taming Sect."
