Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 423 - 120: Secluded Bitter Cultivation

"Haha, according to the method, if His Highness the Saint Son cannot cultivate a Treasure Beast within a century, this old man will send the Star Universe Turtle to the Beast Taming Sect!"

The Star Universe Turtle in the Celestial Secret Tower: ?

"It’s a deal."

Given the information on Treasure Beasts, coupled with the fact that he indeed wasn’t harmed by the Yin Corpse Sect, Lin Jing decided not to hold Celestial Secret Elder’s schemes against him for now.

Moreover, thinking from another perspective, if he hadn’t been discovered by the Celestial Secret Elder and guided into the Beast Taming Sect, he might already have been eaten by wild Demon Beasts.

"We will meet again in a hundred years."

As Lin Jing left, watching his departing figure, the Star Universe Turtle appeared beside Celestial Secret Elder, asking, "Is this appropriate?"

Celestial Secret Elder turned his head: "Don’t worry, this time I used the Celestial Secret Technique to simulate multiple times; there won’t be any mistakes, and I won’t really send you to the Beast Taming Sect."

The Star Universe Turtle emphasized, "I mean, if this method is correct, is it appropriate to inform outsiders of such crucial information!"

"A Treasure Beast, it has even more potential than a Divine Body."

"Do you also think the Ancient Country is doomed and intend to find a new home for the Celestial Secret Tower early, heading to Qingzhou by then?"

"Nonsense!" Celestial Secret Elder knocked on the Star Universe Turtle and said, "This is the result of my discussion with the First Ancient Emperor. Over at the Demon Extermination Bureau, I had a conversation with His Majesty..."

"This method of evolving Treasure Beasts is not suitable for widespread attempts in the Ancient Country. Within the country, those capable of birthing Divine Bodies are mostly from noble families or sects with their own heritage; they won’t easily attempt the Beast Taming Technique. The national policy of the Ancient Country also prioritizes the fortune of humanity, making it difficult to change in the short term; it’s not something that can be decided overnight, making it challenging to allocate resources to nurture Treasure Beasts."

"However, Qingzhou and the Beast Taming Sect there are different. The Beast Taming Sect is backed by the Demon Court, essentially dominating Qingzhou. Recruiting Divine Bodies is quite easy there, providing an excellent environment for Beast Taming. On that land, Treasure Beasts can be better nurtured."

"As for the concern whether a certain number of Treasure Beasts will impact the Ancient Country upon appearance... His Majesty the First Ancient Emperor stated that the current urgent task is to ensure the Celestial Essence Continent’s survival after the upcoming Celestial Demon invasion. In this special stage when foreign enemies are present, whether Demon Beasts or Demonic Races, they are all objects for alliance."

"As long as the forces resisting the Celestial Demon invasion are stronger, the lesser the losses the Ancient Country will suffer! If other forces’ territories are occupied, they can always find a new mountain, and it won’t cause much impact. But for the Ancient Country, losing territory means the dissipation of national fortune, and recovery will be impossible."

......

On the way to Spirit Dao Sect, Lin Jing once again sent the intelligence he obtained back to the Beast Taming Sect, addressed to Elder Mo, asking him to conduct experiments.

The Innate Divine Body is not so easily recruited; it requires time to brew.

After sending it back, Lin Jing decided not to pay attention for the time being and quietly await the results of the experiment. As for himself, he returned to Spirit Dao Sect to continue using the Enlightenment Pool for cultivation.

Aside from Lin Jing, the Longevity Body of the Ancient Race, who had fallen asleep on the clouds due to the exhaustion of the journey, was also brought to this side by Lin Jing.

After landing, Yu Xun’Er was awakened by Lin Jing. Seeing this unfamiliar environment, she was a bit bewildered, but soon, Lin Jing arranged a task for her.

"Go build a wooden hut on the nearby mountain; I will assign you some tasks. Once you’ve completed them all, I’ll teach you a cultivation technique to set you on the path of cultivation."

"Yes, Senior..." Yu Xun’Er nodded, very curious about the tasks Lin Jing mentioned.

In the next moment, Lin Jing summoned a small mushroom, which was the Magic Mushroom that had been shelved and neglected by him for a long time.

"For the next few years, it will be your teacher."

Magic Mushroom doesn’t need to rely on Lin Jing; it can create "illusory realms" by itself, using them to temper one’s Dao heart, making it most suitable.

Looking at the small mushroom Lin Jing summoned, Yu Xun’Er gulped, thinking it looked quite delicious.

"Mushroom, first create an illusory realm of the ’Legend of the Saint Son’ for her to experience my legendary life as an observer, to gain some worldly experience. After you finish creating it, let me review it first." Lin Jing transmitted mentally.

......

After the return of the First Ancient Emperor, an earth-shattering upheaval occurred in the Ancient Country. According to incomplete statistics, more than a thousand officials were executed in a month, including descendants of some founding families.

Regarding dealing with corrupt officials, the Second Ancient Emperor was glad with the First, but he showed strong resistance to some other requests of the First Ancient Emperor, firmly refusing the reduction of cultivation resources for Ancient Race cultivators. Most of the resources in the national treasury must be used for the Ancient Race, not for nurturing those exemplary figures from foreign races.

As the Second Ancient Emperor stated, this Ancient Country is essentially the realm of the Ancient Race. Had it not been for the sacrifices of Ancient Race cultivators ten millennia ago, there wouldn’t be the current Celestial Essence Ancient Country.

Only with a strong Ancient Race can the Ancient Country be strong.

It is no longer the ancient times when mortals were oppressed by cultivators. In the early days of the nation’s founding, mortals and lower-level cultivators saved by the Ancient Country might genuinely wish for the country’s prosperity and be willing to sacrifice their strength for the Ancient Country’s strength.

But after thousands of years of peace, people’s hearts in the Ancient Country have changed. Individual development has begun to outweigh the national interest, under which circumstance, people with foreign surnames are no longer worth cultivating massively, only small favors are sufficient.

On this topic, even facing his father, the Second Ancient Emperor did not yield an inch. The two engaged in an endless dispute, causing deep fear among the people in Celestial Essence Ancient City, and the children of the Ancient Race, fearing that the fury of both sides might sweep over them.

These debates over national policy and fortune did not affect Lin Jing, who was deeply cultivating in Spirit Dao Sect.

At least the top-tier cultivation dragon veins promised by the Ancient Country, the Celestial Flame Gu, and numerous Divinity Transformation level demon criminals were not neglected for Lin Jing, making him perfectly satisfied, regardless of the external chaos.

"Dragon Vein."

"Demon Locking Tower."

"Celestial Flame Gu."

"Not bad." By the Enlightenment Pool, Lin Jing looked at the three floating items beside him, quite satisfied.

The dragon vein was placed in a dragon-shaped storage ring, and next to the ring was a small black tower, a supreme magical treasure, imprisoning and sealing numerous demons above the Divinity Transformation level.

This top-tier dragon vein is just right for the breakthrough and training of the avatar in coming years, and the demons within this Demon Locking Tower can be refined into pills or have other uses.

It happens to utilize the power of the Yin Spirit Gu through the Ice Soul Gu, instilling Heart Demons into them, subsequently allowing the avatar to devour these Heart Demons, to cultivate the Celestial Demon Finger!

If all goes smoothly, the resulting realm of the Celestial Demon Finger should not fall below that of the Celestial Demon Divine Sense Technique.

After exhausting all their value, these demons can still be refined into pills for consumption later.

"And now with the essence of the Celestial Flame Gu, the Top Ten Strange Gus are gathered, even the Ice Soul Gu can be considered to have a fulfilled life..."

"Next, it’s time to spend time in intense seclusion, diligently cultivating, to digest these resources, and convert them into... one’s own strength."
