Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 378 - 75: Gao Shengโs Promotion
Immortal Water Lotus, a plant that harmonizes with Immortal Power, naturally comes with a Purity Divine Body.
The Purity Divine Body, simply put, is immune to all impurities that could affect itself. ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐.๐๐๐บ
Just as the First Ancient Emperor mentioned, to cultivate the Celestial Demon Finger, a cultivator must devour anotherโs Heart Demon force.
The force of the Heart Demon generally repels cultivators, let alone seeking it out actively.
The Heart Demon poses the greatest threat to a cultivator, and must be overcome by the cultivator alone due to its contagious nature; assistance from others might lead them to also contract the Heart Demon, causing mental chaos.
Therefore, the process of cultivating the Celestial Demon Finger is extremely dangerous.
Because of this, the First Ancient Emperor suggested that Lin Jingโs external avatar be created using Emotionless Stone as a material, following the Path of Emotionlessness, thus minimizing interference from the Heart Demon.
Emotionlessness is the best weapon against the Heart Demon.
However, since Lin Jing possesses the Immortal Water Lotus, it seems to the First Ancient Emperor to have the same effect; the Purity Divine Body is also effective in warding off the Heart Demon.
For the possessor of a Purity Divine Body, cultivating a demonic technique with side effects, paired with a Celestial Demon Body, is a perfect match.
"Iโm just considering if thereโs a better choice than the Immortal Water Lotus."
"Thereโs none. In the Celestial Essence Realm, the Immortal Water Lotus is one of the best materials for crafting an external avatar."
"Unless thereโs an immortal artifact, but compared to the gentle Immortal Water Lotus, an immortal artifact is not something an ordinary cultivator can refine."
"Where did you, young lad, get such a good thing?"
Lin Jing smiled; the Demon Emperor had said the same. In the Demon Court, there was nothing better than the Immortal Water Lotus.
It was suggested that if Lin Jing wanted to craft an external avatar, he should prioritize this.
"From the Mist Forest," Lin Jing spoke.
"No wonder..." the First Ancient Emperor nodded: "That fellow, the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor, has reached the peak of the wood path, possessing the ability to evolve plants to near-immortal levels; if itโs him, itโs no surprise he could mature an Immortal Water Lotus."
"But for him to give such a rare item to you, young one, youโre not simple; is it because of the Transfiguration technique?"
"Perhaps," Lin Jing replied slowly.
After all, at the level of the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor, Yin Yang Whale Emperor, and Lord of the Demon Court, progressing further normally is incredibly difficult.
Transfiguration is undoubtedly a peculiar path.
"In any case, using the Immortal Water Lotus to create an external avatar does provide some help in cultivating the Celestial Demon Finger."
"However, it offers no help in cultivating the Celestial Demon Scripture and Celestial Demon Crossing."
"The problem isnโt too big... weโll think of a way later," Lin Jing decided not to dwell on it further. Using the Immortal Water Lotus to craft an external avatar has the added benefit of improving absorption of immortal energies after reaching the source realm, enhancing oneโs strength.
Moreover, this avatar will also be more suited for Immortal Techniques requiring Immortal Power activation compared to the main body.
Although Lin Jing currently has no Immortal Techniques, with the Divine Spirit Book, it will be very convenient to find a way to summon projections of some Ancient Immortals for teaching Immortal Techniques.
......
Not long after, Lin Jing entered the Hourglass of Time, starting the crafting of his external avatar.
As for the First Ancient Emperor, he began wandering around Martial Emperor City out of boredom.
It wasnโt long before the First Ancient Emperorโs eyes suddenly shone, spotting a talent.
"Innate Spiritual Luck Body?"
"A Spiritual Luck Body, isnโt this physique I created to enhance fortune? Yet itโs so hard to cultivate, even rare among the ancient clans..."
"This lad must be an Ancient Country cultivator, surely the Secret Technique I developed hasnโt been smuggled to Martial Emperor City!"
Saying this, the First Ancient Emperor stopped a young man who had just entered the city on a white horse.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
Gao Sheng frowned, looking at the shabby old man who stopped him.
This person was Gao Sheng, transported to the Celestial Sword Sect by the Ling Yue Sword Immortal using the Heaven-Cracking Sword, then dragged to the capital by the Celestial Sword Sect Leader.
However, because Lin Jing suddenly wielded the Immortal Sword, Gao Sheng and the Celestial Sword Sect Leader hadnโt yet met the Prince Gu, and Gao Sheng was taken back to the Celestial Sword Sect by the leader.
At the Celestial Sword Sect, Gao Sheng was perpetually worried about being held accountable by the Second Ancient Emperor, as he was significantly responsible for this turmoil.
Fortunately, the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, considering Gao Sheng had delivered such critical information to the Celestial Sword Sect rather than the ancient clan, pointed him toward a promising path.
"Go find my disciple again."
"She is still in the Western Desert."
"Your fortune is extraordinary. Itโs no harm for her to have you by her side, and Iโll give you a life-saving Sword Qi for protection on your journey."
Thus, Gao Sheng fled the Ancient Country once more, seeking the Ling Yue Sword Immortal, intending to join forces and form a demon-vanquishing team.
Currently, heโs in Martial Emperor City searching for Feng Ning, but before finding her, he managed to run into an old beggar.
"Young man, I see you have unique bones and extraordinary fortune. Tell me, did you come from the Eastern Ancient Country?" the First Ancient Emperor asked with a grin.
"You old man, you have quite an eye," Gao Sheng replied, "How did you know I came from the Ancient Country?"
"Get to the point, Iโm in a hurry."
The First Ancient Emperor chuckled: "Innate Spiritual Luck Body, this Foundation Establishment Secret Technique, I remember itโs only available in the Ancient Country, not even accessible to typical Ancient Country cultivators, only to some influential figures..."
"Whoa..." Gao Sheng was taken aback, realizing the Spiritual Luck Body isnโt like easily discernible Fire or Water Spirit Bodiesโitโs very concealed. Yet this old man recognized his Spiritual Luck Body with just one look...
"Such a keen eye, senior, may I know your name?" Gao Sheng instantly grew respectful, acknowledging that this old man was no ordinary individual.
Cultivation... at least Divinity Transformation level?
"You can call me Turtle Immortal..." the First Ancient Emperor stroked his beard, though the turtle didnโt wish to stay with him and had gone off to explore Martial Emperor City instead...
"What is the reason you stopped me, senior?" Gao Sheng inquired.
The First Ancient Emperor replied: "Itโs nothing much, really. Iโm also from the Ancient Country but havenโt returned there in a long time, and I miss life over there."
"Iโm just curious about how much the Ancient Country has changed recently. I assume you hail from a prominent family in the Ancient Country. Would you mind walking and chatting with this old man?"
"Iโd be delighted," Gao Sheng wasnโt in a rush, "Allow me to treat you to a meal at the finest restaurant in Martial Emperor City, senior!"
"Generous young man, but Iโm also curious; why have you traveled such a distance to come to Martial Emperor City when youโre only at Golden Core cultivation?"
"Oh, isnโt it because a grand era is upon us, with specters appearing in the west? Iโve specifically come to vanquish demons. Though this isnโt the Ancient Country, many common people need protection here too. There are so few in the Buddhist sectโhow can they manage alone? Even if I lack power, I can contribute a bit," Gao Sheng said righteously, revealing his Demon Extermination Bureau token.
"Hmm? So, youโre part of the Demon Extermination Bureau! The Cultivation Realm needs good people like you. Actually, I have some friends in the Ancient Country who are officials. When the time comes, Iโll have them promote you!"
"An official position?" Gao Sheng chuckled, "Iโm not interested."
The First Ancient Emperor squinted, detecting a hint of "discontent."
"Indeed, a talented person like you shouldnโt enter this muddy bureaucratic world. Under the Second Ancient Emperorโs leadership, the Ancient Country is declining day by day!" The First Ancient Emperor commented.
"Thatโs true..." Gao Sheng instinctively replied, then quickly covered his mouth, angry, "What are you saying, old man? The people in the Ancient Country are happy under the Second Ancient Emperorโs rule!"
