Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 490 - 61: Star Longevity Hatchling
Three Immortal Monarch-level inheritances made the Ice Soul Gu and Lin Jing momentarily difficult to grasp.
The urging of Fairy Maotuan echoed in his ears, prompting Lin Jing to fall into deep contemplation.
Moon Plucking seems to be a divine technique of artifact creation, which is not entirely incompatible with the poisonous creature like the Ice Soul Gu, as magical treasures can enhance any kind of magic.
By choosing this divine technique, the Ice Soul Gu could fully specialize in Sword Dao, condensing countless Moon Blades, or it could refine magical treasures to strengthen the Gu poison.
However—
The sources for obtaining magical treasures are plentiful, and there’s no need to acquire them in the form of a divine technique. Moreover, divine techniques require development, and the Ice Soul Gu wouldn’t be able to refine a large moonstar or create an Immortal-level magical treasure right off the bat.
Initially, even quasi-immortal artifacts would likely be the limit.
Ultimately, one might as well make the Dragon Koi suffer a bit, let it learn artifact refining, since it’s all about using fire anyway.
As for whether the Dragon Koi has the energy to learn artifact refining, the second divine technique "Dao Fruit" can solve this problem even better!
There’s no need to enhance the Dragon Koi’s comprehension and make it slowly struggle to learn. Simply find a talented artifact refiner and strip them of their artifact refining skills.
Even in the Celestial Essence Realm, whose inheritance is severed, there are still enough refiners who can create quasi-immortal artifacts. Scanning the entire lower realm, finding an artifact refiner who can craft immortal artifacts shouldn’t be a problem.
As in the Celestial Demon Realm, there are definitely demon cultivators who can refine immortal artifacts. The inheritance level of the Celestial Demon Realm is certainly far superior to other cultivation realms since the connection to the Immortal Realm hasn’t been cut off.
In Lin Jing’s view, this Dao Fruit divine technique is more practical than Moon Plucking, as it can harvest the fruits of other prodigies’ cultivation for its own use.
It could even strengthen the forces under his command.
However, Lin Jing didn’t immediately choose Dao Fruit, as the divine technique Tribulation Master also created a dilemma for him.
Isn’t this the divine technique that allows one to become the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao’s will?
Back then, the Immortal Palace sanctioned the rebels in the Celestial Essence Realm using similar means.
Throughout Celestial Essence Realm, rules like "unable to transform shapes," "plants and trees cannot become spirits" were established, and any creature violating these rules would face celestial tribulation punishment.
If the Ice Soul Gu chose Tribulation Master, it should be able to accomplish similar things, though the scope of rule creation would likely be linked to its cultivation, not instantly making it a realm’s will. Slow improvement would be necessary.
Lin Jing was torn because he felt this ability would greatly aid his monopoly over the Source Realm, and even afterward, his protection of the Celestial Essence Realm.
In the Source Realm, in the Celestial Essence Realm, create Heavenly Dao rules beneficial to oneself, thereby weakening the enemy’s away-field fighting ability.
"Hurry and choose!" Fairy Maotuan was anxious.
"The choice paralysis has hit me, Dao Fruit or Tribulation Master, which one to select!" Lin Jing was sweating profusely, and the Ice Soul Gu was also sweating.
"Do you have any good suggestions, senior?"
Fairy Maotuan said, "Choose Dao Fruit!"
"Why?" Lin Jing couldn’t help asking.
"It’s simple, Immortal Kings vary in strength, and at least before I descended to the lower realm, the owner of the Dao Fruit divine technique was stronger, almost becoming an Immortal King!"
"By choosing Dao Fruit, this creature becomes the inheritance bearer of that individual. Once ascended to the Immortal Realm, it can directly ally with them!"
"For lower-realm cultivators who have just ascended to the Immortal Realm, having a powerful master and formidable forces right upon entering the Immortal Realm, do you know what that means?"
"Furthermore, while Tribulation Master is also good, using tribulation power to enforce rules isn’t unique to this demon sovereign; almost every force has similar means, it’s just that this demon sovereign uses this as their main divine technique."
"If you wish to learn similar abilities, there will be plenty of chances in the future. Comparatively, a divine technique like Dao Fruit is relatively rare, and similar magic is scarce."
"I see." Lin Jing, upon hearing this, expressed his understanding and immediately instructed the Ice Soul Gu to choose the Dao Fruit divine technique.
"This one it is."
Exactly, since back then the Immortal Palace could easily establish rules, whether to resurrect ancient beings with the Divine Spirit Book using the Mechanical Turtle or to steal such divine techniques through Dao Fruit in other cultivation realms were all viable methods.
Though what the other party might understand is certainly not more insightful than this Demon Immortal, as long as there’s a prototype, they can further cultivate themselves.
"Dao Fruit!"
The Ice Soul Gu let out a hissing sound, further sensing the power of the demonic star representing Dao Fruit, which it actually quite favored.
At that time, regardless of anything else, it would first find cultivators of the Celestial Demon Sect proficient in Sword Dao and snatch their Sword Dao accomplishments...
It was merely a moment, and the Ice Soul Gu had completely received the Dao Fruit inheritance, awakening the Treasure Beast bloodline. The various utilization methods of Dao Fruit seemed directly etched into its bloodline, ready for arbitrary use.
This is the power of Treasure Beast inheritance, like when the Pine Leaf Mouse in the Qi Refining Stage could use Glazed Immortal Pupil. Asking a Qi Refining Stage demon beast to self-learn a divine technique of Immortal King level is simply a fool’s errand.
"Mission accomplished!" Soon after, Fairy Maotuan breathed a sigh of relief, emitting a weary sound.
"Alright, the contract is complete. I’ll wait for the day your immortal techniques succeed... time is limited, if there are any questions, quickly ask."
Lin Jing said, "Once its Glazed Immortal Pupil reaches the realm you mentioned, our cultivation will have long surpassed the Divinity Transformation Realm; then, how should we seek you to fulfill the promise?!"
"That’s why I ask you to ally with Little Stone; when the time comes, notify it, and it will awaken me. When the time is right, I’ll leave the Source Realm to find you outside."
"Alright!" Lin Jing finally asked a question: "Senior, you’ve probably been in the Source Realm for a long time. I wonder if there have been any promising star beast cubs with potential in the Stardust Realm?"
"Although we have just awakened the Treasure Beast’s divine technique without choosing a demon beast cub, I indeed have the intention of contracting a star beast cub as a new pet beast."
Fairy Maotuan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Don’t even think about it."
"In this barren place of the Source Realm, what kind of star beasts could be impressive?"
"Didn’t you see that Stone? With me, even a Treasure Beast divine technique was awakened, yet it hasn’t become the king of the Source Realm?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"It is the most talented among the starry creatures of the Source Realm, and yet this is its level of performance."
Lin Jing wanted to speak up for the Meteor Star Spirit: "Didn’t senior take all its collected immortal sources for maintenance?"
"With only the Divinity Transformation Realm, what’s the use of having abundant immortal sources? Ultimately, they’ll be wasted!"
"All in all, if you’re looking for star beast cubs, don’t waste your effort in the Source Realm; I recommend searching the outer starry skies. Starage Cranes are quite good, these are celestial cranes residing in the Ascension Channel’s Ascension Star Pool. After the Ascension Channel was sealed by the Celestial Demon Sect with a Celestial Dao Treasure, these cranes fell into the lower starry skies. Often, during your lower realm cultivators’ ascension to the Immortal Realm, they are the ones accompanying you, bestowing blessings."
"If the group still exists, choosing their cubs is certainly correct. I can tell you that there’s a demon clan Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, whose race is Starage Crane, and Starage Cranes are also known as Longevity Bodies among demon beasts... quite a fit for you... if nothing else works, you can contract with Little Stone. Neither of you will lose out, though with its temperament, even if I speak up, it probably won’t agree, haha."
