Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 392 - 89: Powerful Foundations

Immortal Prison Mountain.

Lin Jing, now at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul, gently caressed the corpse of the immortal ox before him, his eyes burning with intent.

Recently, the foundational injuries he sustained during his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage have completely healed. Moreover, during his recuperation, he unexpectedly mastered the corpse-driving secret technique of the Yin Corpse Sect.

Lin Jing initially thought that he would need the Enlightenment Fish soup to quickly master the corpse-driving secret technique, but the effects of the Blood Bodhi truly surprised him.

He had a theory that the enhancement from Blood Bodhi when in a near-death state might rival that of the Enlightenment Fish soup.

Of course, it’s usually difficult for an ordinary cultivator to focus on cultivation while gravely injured. Lin Jing managed it by fusing with the Ice Soul Gu, using its power to freeze his sense of pain and halt the worsening of his wounds, thus fully benefiting from the Blood Bodhi.

"It also has something to do with the corpse-driving secret technique being somewhat like a half-path secret technique... it made the training rather easy." Lin Jing muttered to himself.

Using the ultimate life essence as the source of power, he attempted to maneuver the body of the immortal beast before him. He discovered that he could only make the immortal corpse twitch slightly, leading him to laugh and shake his head.

"Without the power of death to propel the corpse-driving secret technique, it really is impossible."

"But now that the Death God Pearl has been given to the Ice Soul Gu to cultivate an external avatar, I can call upon it to try again once it’s done."

"Furthermore, the mana of the Nascent Soul Stage is too weak. To perfectly control it, one must burn life force to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage again, continue burning longevity, and use the divine control technique to enhance the level of the path to complement the corpse-driving secret technique to properly control this immortal corpse."

He placed the immortal ox’s corpse back into his storage bag, then suddenly looked in a direction, sensing the Mechanical Turtle approaching him, and couldn’t help but let out a small sigh.

"It seems it wasn’t successful, huh..."

......

Soon after, the Mechanical Turtle, carrying with it the Witch God Hall’s divine child, successfully rendezvoused with Lin Jing.

Without it needing to report, Lin Jing could ascertain through the contract about the events the Mechanical Turtle had encountered during this time.

"I see, it’s quite a pity. Mechanical life cannot ascend the rankings like humans and demon beasts." Lin Jing lamented, meaning the Mechanical Turtle could not enjoy the enlightenment bonuses from the fortune rankings... However, the impact wasn’t significant.

After all, its core ability was to control magical treasures beyond its level, an ability already considered supreme in the lower realms and impossible to enhance further. With this ability alone, the Mechanical Turtle was nearly invincible in the lower realms. The enlightenment bonus from the fortune rankings was far less important to it than it is to Pine Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu.

"Well done, and good job bringing back the Witch God Hall’s divine child." Lin Jing smiled cheerfully at the Mechanical Turtle.

"Mission complete, can I travel freely now?" The Mechanical Turtle was most eager for freedom, freedom, and more freedom!!!

"Ah, well." Lin Jing pondered, glanced at the gold rankings, then chuckled.

"Just one last task, absolutely the last one."

Mechanical Turtle: ???

"Look here, the divine child of Witch God Hall is ranked ninth. This means if we detain him on Immortal Prison Mountain and defeat him consecutively, Pine Rat, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu should be able to take the ninth and tenth positions."

"But we must ensure all three of them enter the top ten."

"Look, Water Moon Immortal Island isn’t far from here. Can you, in the same manner, abduct the senior disciple sister of Water Moon Immortal Island? With that, the eighth position will also be ours." Lin Jing mused, stroking his chin, thinking it feasible.

Although Granny Yin Mountain entrusted him with protecting the senior disciple sister of Water Moon Immortal Island in the Source Realm with a Yin Spirit Gu in return, from another perspective, as long as the senior disciple sister doesn’t go to the Source Realm, it’s the best protection. As long as she doesn’t reach the Source Realm, she won’t encounter danger there...

The place at Water Moon Immortal Island refuses external entry, concealed by a grand formation. It’s extremely difficult to locate. Other pet beasts would certainly get lost at sea. Only the Mechanical Turtle hopes to single-handedly reach the island and abduct the senior disciple sister.

Although he could also take his pet beasts to challenge the place, that island is full of beautiful female cultivators, and Lin Jing worried he might not want to leave once he got there.

"Ah-ba ah-ba ah-ba..." The Mechanical Turtle doubted whether this was truly the last task... to abduct the senior disciple sister of Water Moon Immortal Island...

The Mechanical Turtle wondered, the senior disciple sister of Water Moon Immortal Island is ranked eighth, could Pine Rat and the others defeat her without reaching Divinity Transformation?

"Rest assured." Lin Jing spoke: "The cultivation techniques and magic of Water Moon Immortal Island can only fully exert their power in a marine environment. This is also why Water Moon Immortal Island rarely lands ashore, due to its location in the sea."

"At sea, they have few rivals. But once they reach land, their strength immediately drops by thirty percent, which is why you need to bring them here..."

"Go ahead without worry; beyond the sea is freedom."

"Hmm? It looks like the Ice Soul Gu has finished too. Just in time, I’ll let the Ice Soul Gu take on the divine child of Witch God Hall."

......

In the hourglass of time.

The Ice Soul Gu looked at the black spider avatar shrouded in deathly aura, its cultivation reaching a half-step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, its gaze startled.

This avatar was crafted using the Blood of Gu God along with the Death Origin of a Treasure Beast, giving the Ice Soul Gu a feeling that it was even stronger than its true form.

Even its true form, now having reached a half-step into the Divinity Transformation Realm through devouring the Myriad Poison Gu, with Nine Gu United!

However, fortunately, its avatar was just that. With a thought, the avatar merged back into its main body, the two forces merging, allowing the Ice Soul Gu to feel immense comfort, inspiring a desire to challenge the Immortal Fire of that fish now.

"How does it feel?" Lin Jing communicated telepathically, and the Ice Soul Gu nodded wildly, feeling wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

"Great, next, I’ve lined up an early-stage divinity transformation fellow for you to spar with. But he’s no ordinary early-stage divinity transformation cultivator. Although you’re only a step away from the Divinity Transformation Stage, being a Gu worm makes single combat not really suitable, and it might be tough to defeat across levels."

"Leave it to me, I’ll handle him!" The Ice Soul Gu didn’t believe it couldn’t win, given its current foundation, early Divinity Transformation or not.

"Don’t act rashly."

"The opponent is the divine child of Witch God Hall, a top-tier genius of the Celestial Essence Realm, experienced in dealing with Gu worms, so it’s best not to be careless. To increase your odds, I’ll let you use one of the Void Profound Demon Ancestor corpses slain previously in Heaven-Reaching City. With your current power, your understanding of the power of death, parasitizing the Void Profound Demon Ancestor shouldn’t be a problem. With a demon ancestor vessel, you can exert your full strength."

Lin Jing made some arrangements, giving the instrumental ghost a quasi-immortal artifact, and the Ice Soul Gu could use a demon ancestor corpse! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Not knowing how much time had passed, the divine child of Witch God Hall awoke in an unfamiliar mountain range.

With his body aching all over, he looked at a half-step divinity transformation ice spider not far from him.

"What’s happening, is this... Lin Jing’s Ice Soul Gu!!?"

As he recognized the situation, the divine child saw the Ice Soul Gu toss a bundle of top-grade spiritual medicine with its spider silk.

"Eat quickly, then spar with me!" urged the Ice Soul Gu.

The divine child’s vision darkened, Damn, that damn Demon Court Saint Child... Just you wait, I might not be able to handle the strange Mechanical Beast with the quasi-immortal artifact at the same level, but a pesky Gu worm I’ve dealt with for decades, a mere Nascent Soul worm, wants to disgrace me?
