Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 481 - 52: Perfected Demonkin
Divinity Transformation Stage Beast Taming Cultivators have five basic contract slots.
Lin Jing, due to his Extreme Realm, has an extra contract slot.
Currently, he can contract with six pet beasts in total.
Counting the Mechanical Turtle left in the Celestial Essence Realm, he still has two empty contract slots.
Lin Jing decided to reserve one of them for the Star Beast whose location is still unknown.
The other, after some thought, Lin Jing decided to prioritize the idea of contracting his avatar.
Especially since he successfully improved the Beast Taming Secret Technique to enhance pet beasts’ bloodlines, the strategic significance of contracting the avatar is undoubtedly greater.
"The connection with the avatar is even closer than before."
After the contract was completed, Lin Jing glanced at his avatar, now in the form of a black mist nine-tailed fox, and reached out his hand.
As wisps of immortal energy sealed within his body dissipated, the hand Lin Jing extended was enveloped in a red glow.
"It truly works!"
A moment later, perceiving that the avatar’s demon bloodline was really beginning to slowly strengthen, Lin Jing couldn’t help but be exceedingly delighted.
Before the avatar’s demon bloodline reached maturity, stable enhancement could be achieved as long as normal cultivation of Celestial Demon magic was maintained.
But after the bloodline matured, Lin Jing discovered that the progress of this Demon God’s body was akin to hitting a bottleneck, unable to advance.
Until Sheng Kun taught him the body-snatching Secret Technique.
The demon bloodline reaching perfection is a hurdle; without a specific secret technique to enhance the bloodline, it’s difficult to improve through normal cultivation.
The body-snatching Secret Technique taught by Sheng Kun allows enhancement of the demon bloodline to perfection through continuous body-snatching and shaping of yin-yang fate.
However, this Secret Technique is not suitable for Lin Jing, as he doesn’t plan to continue shaping yin-yang fate and has no intention of ultimately body-snatching a woman.
Therefore, he must find other ways to quickly enhance the demon bloodline to enable his avatar to possess the capability to influence the situation before the millennium battle.
Fortunately, he skillfully managed to strengthen the demon bloodline by transforming the demon avatar into a pet beast and using the Secret Technique for enhancing pet beasts’ bloodlines; otherwise, achieving perfection in the demon avatar’s bloodline would be uncertain.
"These two years were not in vain; not only did the avatar’s perfect demon bloodline find a resolution, but the bloodline levels of the Pine Leaf Mouse, Dragon Carp, and Ice Soul Gu also reached quasi-immortal level."
Lin Jing laughed, though the cost was that the immortal source reserves of Immortal City have now been entirely exhausted by him.
The largest expenditure lay in activating the Immortal Artifact and improving magical abilities.
The former provided the avatar an additional 200 years to possess the Dark Emperor remains, while the latter accelerated the pet beasts’ bloodline enhancement, speculating that before the appearance of a supreme immortal source, they could become immortal beasts, and it accumulated significant experience for Lin Jing in transforming normal magic into immortal techniques driven by immortal energy.
Another year passed.
Through Lin Jing’s efforts, their last piece of immortal source, the unique immortal source gifted by Sheng Kun to Ma Yong, was also exhausted; the effects of the unique immortal source far surpassed ordinary immortal sources, and through its higher-quality immortal energy, under Lin Jing’s strengthening, the demon avatar’s bloodline reached perfection as if naturally.
Became like Sheng Kun, a Celestial Demon Cultivator possessing a perfect demon bloodline!
Combat power experienced an immediate frightening boost; the spell power freely unleashed with overwhelming magic was in no way inferior to those immortal techniques.
"It’s almost enough..."
After draining the foundation of Immortal City, Lin Jing was very satisfied, and aside from immortal energy, various miscellaneous resources were all tossed into the Pine Leaf Mouse’s Five Elements space to enhance its demon pill divine techniques.
Even just the accumulated foundation of an ordinary Seeking Dao force like the Gu God Sect was sufficient for the Pine Leaf Mouse to traverse the Celestial Essence Realm within the same realm with its demon pill divine techniques, but after arriving in the Source Realm, such accumulations from the Gu God Sect were inconsequential.
The lowest tier prodigies here could likely be personal disciples of a Seeking Dao Cultivator, each possessing robust foundations.
But now, with the Pine Leaf Mouse having pocketed even the treasury of Immortal City, its demon pill strength, unless confronted by a Four Heavenly Kings-level existence, otherwise smashing down, wouldn’t be effective; at least it would cause significant harm to the soul.
"This level of strength is almost sufficient; considering the avatar, even if the Cultivation Alliance introduces another prodigy on par with Li Tianyi, I wouldn’t suffer loss in confrontation."
"It’s time to negotiate with the Cultivation Alliance..."
Three years after becoming the acting City Lord, Lin Jing stepped out of his cave abode for the first time; during these three years, besides him, Celestial Essence Realm cultivators also went into seclusion, which Lin Jing also persuaded them to do before closing up, suggesting they hide and avoid the limelight, and this group obediently made the new City Lord untraceable.
However, Lin Jing didn’t wish to be in conflict with the Cultivation Alliance.
After exhausting resources, he plans to appease the other side.
Incidentally, to gather new cultivation resources.
"Lin Jing, if you have the capability to embezzle, have the capability to come out!" As Lin Jing came out of seclusion, the new City Lord Yang Lin was still cursing; being able to become Half-Immortal Zhou’s disciple, Yang Lin’s talent, potential, and strength are indisputable.
As someone with a congenital Five Elements Immortal Body, he is more comprehensive than Yan Yunshuang of the Five Thunder Immortal Body, with stronger capabilities, but having early entered the tutelage of a top-tier force like Half-Immortal Zhou, Yang Lin, who achieved Divinity Transformation perfection within less than a century, is not particularly outstanding in other aspects. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
For instance, in serving as the City Lord, he can be said to have no experience at all.
"You." Seeing that Lin Jing indeed came out this time, Yang Lin was quite surprised; wasn’t he not supposed to come out!
He was mentally prepared to not encounter Lin Jing during his tenure and face harsh rebuke from his master upon returning.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Lin Jing asked knowingly, inciting Yang Lin’s uncontrollable anger, questioning, "Lin Jing, where did the resources from Immortal City’s treasury go?"
"As for the resources in Immortal City’s treasury, I have fully paid them to Mingtu Lady; unless she received the payment but didn’t resurrect the Celestial Alliance’s fallen prodigies?" Lin Jing asked.
Of course, the prodigies were resurrected! But is that the point! Yang Lin felt helpless.
"How can it require such vast resources to resurrect prodigies, Lin Jing, dare you say you haven’t embezzled! Haven’t you already subdued Mingtu Lady, all being our own people, why is the resurrection cost pricier than before subduing!"
Lin Jing knitted his brows, angrily retorting, "Don’t discredit me; I haven’t secretly appropriated even an ounce from the treasury!"
"What subduing; I and Mingtu Lady just hit it off, relatively chat and get along well, became friends, and formed a casual organization for convenient contact!"
"Mingtu Lady is willing to exert such effort to help resurrect our sacrificed comrades; naturally, we shouldn’t exploit her for free. What’s wrong with paying extra overtime fees? We aren’t landlords oppressing peasants in the mortal realm."
"Brother, your thinking is problematic, low in awareness; how can you lead all realm cultivators in resisting the Celestial Demon Sect?"
