Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 367 - 64: Treasure Beast Father-in-Law

Even though the Demon Emperor’s cultivation was superb, the Artifact Ghost refused to obey her.

Lin Jing had only managed to control the weakened Artifact Ghost due to the advantage of the Divine Control.

Now, seeing that she couldn’t successfully collaborate with the Artifact Ghost, the Demon Emperor became anxious.

After all, it was an exceptional ghost capable of wielding an Immortal Artifact, and she, too, wished to control an Immortal Artifact.

However, despite using all her strength, the Demon Emperor couldn’t succeed.

This gave the Demon Emperor a sense that even if she wiped out the Artifact Ghost, it wouldn’t cooperate with her in controlling the Immortal Artifact.

Lin Jing shook his head at the situation, feeling that even if the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor acquired the Artifact Ghost, he would likely face the same frustrations as the Demon Emperor. Perhaps only Emperor Haili, who was proficient in the Soul Dao, had a real way to control the Artifact Ghost.

"I give up, back to you."

"I, the Emperor, will personally refine an Immortal Artifact."

After several futile attempts, the Demon Emperor tossed the Ghost Mother back to Lin Jing, giving him a fright.

After all, in his current state, without utilizing the Divine Control Technique, he couldn’t control the Ghost Mother.

However, perhaps due to the Demon Emperor’s presence, or because Lin Jing had previously mastered the Ghost Mother, it cuddled up to him without resistance.

"I now also..." Lin Jing wanted to say that without constantly risking his life, he couldn’t suppress this fellow.

And if he kept risking his life, how could his life last long enough...

"You now have Divinity Transformation cultivation. If you modify the Beast Taming Technique, can you directly contract it?" the Demon Emperor asked.

Lin Jing shook his head: "Probably not. Even though I’ve temporarily elevated my realm to Divinity Transformation, the number of contract slots hasn’t increased."

"Currently, there’s still only one Golden Core Stage contract slot."

"And I can sense that this drop of contract blood can only contract beasts corresponding to my original realm."

"So, at most, it can contract a pet beast up to the Early-Stage Nascent Soul. Its realm has already reached the Void Profound Stage, making it extremely difficult to contract."

"However..."

Lin Jing suddenly paused. In theory, that’s true, but now, with boosts from the Secret Dragon Technique, Fortune Gold Rank, Bodhi Tree, and Enlightenment Fish, he himself is theory!

Is there a possibility to break through these theories in the process of modifying the Beast Taming Technique?

The Demon Emperor said to contract the Artifact Ghost. If successful, his strength would undoubtedly take a qualitative leap.

Even if, by then, he couldn’t maximize the Artifact Ghost’s abilities, unleashing just ten or twenty percent would greatly enhance his strength.

Not to mention Immortal Artifacts, if he could effortlessly use top-tier magical treasures like the Beast God’s Seven-Star Ring, his battle power would soar!

"If I can create a seal method to seal part of its abilities and realm, and during this sealed state, contract it, its level will gradually unlock with my breakthroughs, then maybe the contract can be completed."

Lin Jing murmured.

"But the fourth contract slot was originally prepared for the Mechanical Turtle... wait, the Mechanical Turtle currently lacks intelligence. If I directly merge the Artifact Ghost with the Mechanical Turtle, making the Artifact Ghost its intelligence, the problem is solved."

"What problem have you solved..." the Demon Emperor asked, "This Artifact Ghost’s intelligence is only equivalent to a two-year-old human child. What’s the difference from having no intelligence?"

Lin Jing paused and said, "There is a difference; having and not having intelligence are somewhat different. The Beast Taming Sect has secret techniques to help contracted pets grow in intelligence. As long as intelligence exists, there’s potential for growth, and eventually, maturity can be achieved."

"Since you’ve made your plan, that’s good. No matter what, you must contract it, so it doesn’t fall into the hands of the Ancient Country or the Nether Hall." The Demon Emperor instructed, and without further ado, swept Lin Jing towards the Spirit Path Sect, traversing the void.

......

Outside the Spirit Path Sect.

The Old Man Asking and Enlightenment Fish of the Spirit Path Sect had been waiting for the Demon Emperor and Lin Jing for some time.

"Greetings, Senior Ling Daozi." Lin Jing slightly bowed. Ling Daozi, the ancestor of the Spirit Dao Sect, was the second greatest expert in the Ancient Country aside from the Ancient Emperor, possessing numerous elemental spirit techniques and secret techniques, with formidable strength.

"No need to be formal." Ling Daozi, looking shabby and unkempt like an old Daoist with no lofty demeanor, chuckled: "I still have to thank His Highness the Saint Son for being merciful; otherwise, our Spirit Dao Sect Daoist wouldn’t enjoy the benefits of being in the top three of the Gold List."

"It’s not like I have to sacrifice myself!" Nearby, the Enlightenment Fish, with a head resembling a bump and looking like a goldfish, grumbled.

Its gaze bypassed Lin Jing and Ling Daozi, looking at the petite and defiant Demon Emperor, saying, "Sister Demon Emperor, considering my hard work, can you give me a Transformation Pill?"

"We’ll see how you behave." The Demon Emperor replied, "Take good care of my Demon Court Saint Child, and we can talk about anything. I won’t treat you poorly."

"..." The Enlightenment Fish muttered.

Its rare beast divine power was named the Enlightenment River.

The effect was that after using its rare beast divine power, it could transform the water quality of its surrounding water source into Enlightenment Water, which enhanced comprehension.

However, the Enlightenment Water also had certain limitations: once the Enlightenment Fish left the water source, the Enlightenment Water lost its effect.

Therefore, whether bathing in the Enlightenment Water for comprehension or drinking it directly, the Enlightenment Fish had to be nearby.

Of course, the main point was that the effect of Enlightenment Water differed for each cultivator. Some would nearly become immune after one or two uses, while others retained effectiveness even after thousands of uses.

Thus, the absorption effect of the Enlightenment Water was another criterion for the Spirit Path Sect to judge a disciple’s aptitude.

To improve their ranking, the Spirit Daoist Sect’s Daoist, who absorbed the Enlightenment Water exceptionally well, even became immune by drinking fish soup, showing his determination.

"Cut the nonsense," the Demon Emperor said.

The Enlightenment Fish wagged its tail: "I can’t cut the nonsense. First, let’s establish three rules: don’t chew on me. Look at your Saint Son; his eyes are green when he sees me."

The Demon Emperor glanced at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing scratched his chin and said, "That’s not the point."

He didn’t like eating fish, finding picking out bones bothersome.

If he did, he’d have eaten the Dragon Carp long ago.

"It’s just that, Senior Enlightenment Fish, from your voice, you seem female?"

"Why?" The Enlightenment Fish was alert.

"Do you have a match? My Dragon Carp is also a rare beast; both are fish. Would you consider it? With its bloodline and yours..."

"It would surely be of Immortal Beast quality."

Ling Daozi, the Demon Emperor, and the Enlightenment Fish all fell silent for a moment.

Lin Jing’s thought was, if the match succeeded, he’d become the Enlightenment Fish’s father-in-law. Then he’d have all the Enlightenment Fish soup he wanted. However, he worried that his Dragon Carp’s emotional intelligence might not be high enough to handle it.
