Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 521 - 92: Grand Summoning Technique
Grand Summoning Technique!
Truly worthy of an Immortal Realm’s beast taming master, the method of capturing pets is indeed extraordinary.
Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect who wish to contract pet beasts with exceptional potential have no choice but to pick from the spiritual beasts raised in the sect or venture into the mountains and Great Wilderness, hoping to stumble upon one by luck.
However, this Grand Summoning Technique can directly summon top-tier spiritual beasts within a certain range, saving considerable effort.
"Space-type divine techniques, are they?"
"Furthermore, it also incorporates the ability to observe innate potential."
"This divine technique, I fear, will not be easy to learn."
Lin Jing murmured to himself, yet this divine technique was extremely suitable for a Beast Master, and he had to master it.
Since it is a divine technique meant to test the enlightenment of cultivators from the lower realms, the divine technique contained within this statue does not require celestial energy to perform. It can be executed even with mana from the lower realms.
To perform this Grand Summoning Technique, there are three prerequisites: proficiency in array formation, proficiency in space power, and proficiency in the art of observing vitality.
Under the demonstration of the Supervisor of the Royal Beast Stable, Lin Jing saw him use space power to condense an extraordinarily complex grand array. Lin Jing was witnessing such a complex array pattern for the first time, conservatively estimating that over a billion patterns were interwoven.
Even if one tries to copy it blindly, it tests a cultivator’s patience and physical strength greatly. If not proficient in space power, they might not even sustain until the array formation materializes.
However, once the grand array is formed, it indeed establishes an extremely close connection with the void. Subsequently, Lin Jing saw the Supervisor toss a horse tail into the summoning array, and before Lin Jing could comprehend, a majestic celestial horse was directly pulled out from the summoning array by the Supervisor!
"Its appearance is not bad, but unfortunately it’s male. You can go back now."
In the end, the Supervisor, after scrutinizing the celestial horse, could even send it back into the summoning array, back to its original place.
"Wait, just now that was..." Lin Jing felt dazzled; after the horse tail was offered, some peculiar changes seemed to occur on the summoning array, and it appeared the Supervisor was observing these changes using the art of observing vitality.
After a few glances, they locked onto something and summoned the celestial horse over.
"The summoning array is key, connecting a certain range of space. The offering seems to determine the type of demon beast one wishes to summon. With a horse tail as the offering, one can sense horse-type demon beasts within a certain range; afterward, the array patterns undergo changes, and by observing these changes, one can find the summoning target they want... Subsequently, upon confirming the summoning target, this summoning array will open a space at a specific location, forcibly teleporting the locked creature over."
Lin Jing fell into contemplation. The analysis seemed straightforward, but the issue was, his Seeking Path Cultivation was fake, having never experienced the Void Profound phase. Although his mastery of space was top-tier in the Divinity Transformation Realm, it was insignificant compared to Seeking Dao Cultivators.
Thus, on the first step, constructing the summoning array already stumped Lin Jing. With his understanding of space power, he simply couldn’t comprehend such a complex array.
"No, I must learn it."
Lin Jing took a deep breath and directly took out over a dozen blood Bodhi Trees.
The mutated blood Bodhi provides great insights between life and death; the more severe the injuries and closer to death beneath the Enlightenment Tree, the greater the enlightenment bonus.
In the end, Lin Jing seemingly chose to resort to external aid. However, in such a place, he dared not endanger himself between life and death; it was too risky.
Although the Grand Summoning Technique was alluring, his life was equally important. So, Lin Jing directly separated his avatar, speaking to the dazed magic taro: "Bear with it, I am about to beat you to the brink of death. You’ll comprehend the Grand Summoning Technique, and I’ll maintain your vitality. If you accidentally do die, I’ll find a way to revive you afterward."
"Enough, it’s all me anyway, why say so much. I’m about to act." For safety reasons, Lin Jing decided to let the magic taro comprehend it, as its spatial insights were above his own, making it a perfect candidate.
The magic taro stood still, allowing the main body to beat it to near death, then arduously began comprehending the summoning array in the blood Bodhi grove, while Lin Jing kept the magic taro’s breath tethered to life and death.
Through the cooperation of all three parties, the summoning array that Lin Jing found difficult to comprehend began being replicated one-to-one by the magic taro. Though slow, progress was indeed being made.
"The time limit is three years? How harsh." Lin Jing noticed a sand timer inside the pavilion and estimated that the given time for comprehension might be three years.
Lin Jing felt the urgency and thought of other alternative methods.
If it really doesn’t work...
In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.
During this period, Lin Jing tried to leverage more external aids, like the Time Dao Immortal Banner, using celestial energy as a source to obtain different time flow rates. However, within this Secret Realm, although the blood Bodhi could be used, the Time Dao Immortal Banner seemed restricted by some force, completely unusable.
Helpless, Lin Jing exerted more pressure on his avatar, which ultimately managed to master the summoning array within two and a half years. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Too slow, still too slow. There’s only half a year left, and I’ve just mastered the summoning array. The final step, the observation method, will undoubtedly require a long time to adjust."
Though helpless, Lin Jing dared not waste time. The question remained if the Grand Summoning Technique could be used within this Secret Realm pavilion; he believed it likely, otherwise how would one practice?
"The type of demon beast to summon depends on the offering; Pine Leaf Mouse’s storage space contains many demon beast materials of various races, so there’s no need to worry in this regard, then..."
Suddenly, Lin Jing thought of something. The first generation Ancient Emperor and the Celestial Secret Elder had suggested he best contracts a Star Beast, and the mysterious Fairy Maotuan recommended the "Star Longevity Crane" star beast species specifically.
The Star Longevity Crane is a celestial crane that inhabits the Ascension Channel’s Ascension Star Pool. After the Ascension Channel was sealed by the Celestial Demon Sect with the Celestial Dao Treasure, these celestial cranes fell into the lower realm’s starry sky. Theoretically, they are distributed all over the starry sky, and Lin Jing wondered if, through this Grand Summoning Technique, he could summon a Star Longevity Crane.
If possible, he wouldn’t need to leave the Celestial Essence to find a Star Longevity Crane with excellent potential to contract.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, as it seemed indeed feasible.
Now, what he most needed were materials from the Crane Demon!
Using this as an offering, he could summon crane-type demon beasts!
As for the specific species, locking on might pertain to the art of observing vitality.
"Pine Leaf Mouse, see if there are any materials from a crane in your demon core space, crane feathers, beak, or eggs would work."
