Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 436 - 7: Deportation
Compared to the Pine Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp, the Ice Soul Gu’s breakthrough is a bit more difficult.
Firstly, it’s because its attributes are too mixed. If it hadn’t absorbed so many strange Gu worms and only retained its ice attribute, the breakthrough would actually be easier.
Secondly, it’s because it also has a "Death God Gu Incarnation."
It wants both its true body and incarnation to break through.
Whereas the Pine Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp have fewer demands, their incarnations are working at the Demon Court and only the true body needs attention.
"Here it comes!"
This results in, with the Pine Leaf Rat and Dragon Carp achieving Divinity Transformation, Lin Jing, as their Beast Master, through the feedback of their breakthroughs, broke through the shackles of Divinity Transformation ahead of the Ice Soul Gu.
Lin Jing’s Nascent Soul rapidly expanded and transformed, and his perception of the power of heaven and earth around him became increasingly clear.
The most crucial step in the Nascent Soul’s breakthrough to Divinity Transformation is allowing the Nascent Soul to comprehend nature and shaping the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit.
Every cultivator has a different Primordial Spirit attribute.
For example, the Pine Leaf Rat’s Primordial Spirit attribute is primarily grass and wood.
For the Dragon Carp, its Primordial Spirit attribute is mainly flame.
Now, Lin Jing has also reached the step of using the power of heaven and earth to shape his Primordial Spirit. Reaching this step doesn’t guarantee success in breaking through to Divinity Transformation.
If during this period, his perception of the power of heaven and earth is insufficient, the breakthrough will fail.
This is why most Nascent Soul cultivators condense nature-attributed incarnations outside their bodies at this stage. These external incarnations assist the true body in enhancing the perception of the power of nature and increase the success rate of Divinity Transformation.
However, unfortunately, Lin Jing’s external incarnation did not take this route.
Because his pet beasts could replace the external incarnation to enhance his perception of the power of nature.
With the Pine Leaf Rat and the Dragon Carp, Lin Jing can easily condense either a grass-and-wood or flame Primordial Spirit.
Of course, neither grass-and-wood nor flame aligns with Lin Jing’s path.
Although grass-and-wood is compatible with the Longevity Body, it is not the perfect choice.
"According to ancient Immortal Palace texts, the power of nature isn’t limited to natural elements like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but is omnipresent."
"Day and night, stars, are also parts of nature."
"Gravity, birth, aging, illness, and death are also natural laws."
"Celestial Essence Continent cultivators choose natural elements like wind, rain, thunder, and lightning for Divinity Transformation because these Primordial Spirits are relatively easier to condense."
"However, relatively speaking, these Primordial Spirits are far from the strongest..."
"Since I’m going to condense, I must condense the strongest and most suitable Primordial Spirit for me...!"
Lin Jing’s choice is life and death. Life and death are fates that all creatures in heaven and earth cannot escape, an inescapable law, controlling the evolution of all things to the extreme, life, and death.
"Ice Soul Gu, stop cultivating and assist me in Divinity Transformation."
With Lin Jing’s command, the Ice Soul Gu paused, then merged into Lin Jing’s body, allowing the Death God Gu Incarnation refined from the Blood of Gu God and death treasure beast bloodline to take dominance, letting its death essence be controlled by Lin Jing.
In the next moment, Lin Jing mobilized the Longevity essence and death bloodline, making them spin around the Nascent Soul like two fishes, accompanying it in transformation. At this moment, everything around him seemed to freeze in Lin Jing’s eyes.
The power of life and death blurred the natural elements like gold and stone, rivers, and flowing winds within the mountain. Instead, Lin Jing saw many new things more clearly.
It was still grass, but beyond its grass-and-wood attribute, Lin Jing saw each blade emerge from the earth, sprouting new buds, and saw each blade wither, losing vitality, and return to nature.
Lin Jing also saw birds breaking out of their shells atop trees and saw eagles plummet from the sky, closing their eyes peacefully, ceasing to fly.
"Life...death..."
To Lin Jing, who simultaneously mastered the ultimate power of life and death, the Primordial Spirit of life and death was more aligned with his current state.
The Dragon Carp finally quieted down, while the curious Mountain God was still guessing whether Lin Jing and the others had mastered the power of the Earth Heart Immortal Fire...
But, before long, the Mountain God more desperately discovered that under the influence of a mysterious power, it seemed to be about to give birth.
"Unexpectedly, the Longevity Body becomes perfect during Divinity Transformation. Achieving a Perfect Longevity Body also requires mastery over the power of death..."
The perfect Longevity Body caused Lin Jing’s lifespan and vitality to soar again. Lin Jing’s various methods, for now, could not conceal the vitality power of the perfect Longevity Body, and even seeped through the gaps in the array, floating throughout the mountains.
Under the bath of this vitality aura, many plants and trees within the mountain began to undergo peculiar changes, gradually nurturing intelligence and becoming new living beings.
At the moment they transformed into intelligent life forms, a power of life fed back into Lin Jing’s Primordial Spirit, strengthening it.
"Damn it." This situation caused the Mountain God’s stomach to ache. This place had already nurtured a comprehensive super Mountain God like it, theoretically unable to incubate new spirit monsters without its permission. But now, it was all in chaos.
And not only the Mountain God, Lin Jing himself also felt this change, which left him curious.
The power of his perfect Longevity Body could actually turn plants and trees into spirit monsters, which was almost comparable to the Creation Immortal Body.
But unlike the Creation Immortal Body, which can animate any natural object like rocks, he could currently only "animate" plant and spirit plant life forms into spirits.
Moreover, his ability to endow them with intelligence, Lin Jing suspects, is also related to the density of the natural power in this dimension. In the Celestial Essence Realm, it definitely wouldn’t have this effect.
More importantly, the spirit monsters created by the Creation Immortal Body will follow its commands, but Lin Jing believes the spirit monsters created by his longevity aura, rather than being obedient, might even find ways to consume him after gaining intelligence.
If it were just like this, it wouldn’t be too bad. Lin Jing was even more surprised to discover that with the perfection of the Longevity Body, the death treasure beast bloodline spiraling with the Longevity essence was also being affected by the power of life, gradually strengthening, transforming alongside.
In the fusion of life and death, while the Ice Soul Gu true body remained at the Nascent Soul stage, its incarnation was the first to condense a Death Primordial Spirit, reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm.
The surging power of death was also drawn out from Lin Jing’s body and began to affect the outside world alongside the power of vitality. It’s unclear whether this was because Lin Jing’s means of developing the power of death mainly rely on the corpse driving Secret Technique of the Yin Corpse Sect...
Along with the birth of intelligence in many plants and trees, the Mountain God also found that a group of various demon beast corpses, dead for an unknown number of years, crawled out from within it, howling.
The Mountain God’s headache grew worse, and he itched all over.
"Could this be...the Life and Death Primordial Spirit."
"No, this child cannot stay here for long, too disruptive. I must expel him."
