Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 534 - 103: Dao Heart Shattered (Part 2)
The hidden battle intent of this Qiankun Immortal Body, Lin Jing could sense it. He smiled at Wang Xiao and could understand; after all, his father had been beaten up by him countless times. It’s only natural for a father to pass such an idea to his son.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin!" Wang Che took a deep breath, unable to resist the temptation of immortal energy. However, his gaze remained conflicted.
"Apologies for not suppressing the battle intent."
"But ever since I was a child, I’ve heard from my father and others about the legends of Elder Lin. I still want to know the gap between myself and Uncle Lin, just how wide it is." Having received the gift, Wang Che dared not act too proud, shifting from wanting to defeat Lin Jing to merely wanting to measure the gap.
"You, child, you’re just as stubborn as your father." Beside him, Gao Sheng was speechless, though he knew that this Innate Immortal Body was indeed unrivaled in the Celestial Essence, having such a mindset was normal. Back then, Wang Xiao also didn’t believe in evil, only to be pummeled by Lin Jing over and over.
"Hmm..." Facing Wang Che’s gaze, Lin Jing pondered for a moment. He really didn’t want to bully the youth; wasn’t this bullying?
Just then, Lin Jing sensed something, smiled, and said, "If you want to challenge me, you can. Defeat someone else first, and then I will accept your challenge. How about it? The opponent, like you, has just recently switched to practicing the Beast Taming Technique, with my assistance."
"As per the standards of the Beast Taming Grand Competition."
"Who?"
"Me." Gu Qianqiu walked into Lin Jing’s reception hall. Having just arrived at Beast Taming City, Lin Jing summoned her.
Who is this!
Upon Gu Qianqiu’s entry, the minds of Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao both went blank for a while.
In their memory, there was no impression of Gu Qianqiu at all.
This was normal, considering Gu Qianqiu had been in seclusion on Lin Jing’s turf since escaping the Celestial Lion Clan.
Though serving as the captain of the demon-catching team, she rarely acted personally, usually directing the Mosquito Maiden for tasks.
It can be said that though Lin Jing and Gu Qianqiu once stirred up a storm in the Celestial Lion Clan, the latter’s subsequent disappearance led most to believe her life had ended due to the depletion of lifespan from using the Celestial Demon Body.
"She is Gu Qianqiu."
"You might not be familiar with this name."
"But if I tell you her story, you might know."
"More than a hundred years ago, she and I stirred up quite the commotion in the Celestial Lion Clan." Lin Jing smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao were immediately shocked.
Lin Jing’s previous Longevity Body, Celestial Lion Saintess?!
She had actually...reached the Divinity Transformation Cultivation.
Moreover, she had also switched to the Beast Taming Technique?
Wouldn’t that make her the female version of Lin Jing?
"Who..." Unlike their contemporaries Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao, the younger Wang Che, despite reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage quickly due to his Immortal Body, had never left the Ancient Country and lacked exposure to this history.
The legendary deeds of Lin Jing were numerous; the protagonist of the Celestial Lion Clan’s upheaval was Celestial Lion Saintess Gu Qianqiu, whom Wang Che had never heard of.
"Daoist Gu."
Witnessing this, Wang Xiao and Gao Sheng cupped their fists, though Gu Qianqiu was older, the few of them had no special ties, and with equivalent cultivation, only needed to interact as equals.
"Hello." Gu Qianqiu was relatively cold to everyone except Lin Jing.
She glanced at Wang Che, who wanted to challenge Lin Jing, and calmly spoke: "You want to challenge him?"
"A mere Qiankun Immortal Body is not enough. It’s better for young people not to be overly ambitious."
"I want to try, please instruct me." Wang Che spoke, not understanding Lin Jing’s intentions.
Lin Jing could be an exception, but suppressing the Acquired Immortal Body’s Brother Gu Xinghe, defeated many Innate Immortal Bodies in the Origin Realm, also possessed Divine Techniques like the Celestial Demon Body and Longevity Body that could rival Seeking Dao Cultivators. Others didn’t expect him to succeed, and he understood.
However, this Gu Qianqiu who he had never heard of, did Lin Jing believe she could defeat his Qiankun Immortal Body?
Wang Che didn’t believe it; since Lin Jing let him first cross the hurdle of Gu Qianqiu, he’d proceed to learn.
"Let’s head to the back mountain." Lin Jing chuckled, wanting to see how far Gu Qianqiu’s Beast Necromancy Secret Technique had progressed.
......
"Please instruct me."
Wang Che, Qiankun Immortal Body, mid Divinity Transformation cultivation.
Gu Qianqiu, Longevity Body, initial Divinity Transformation cultivation.
Both cultivated the Beast Taming Technique; however, Wang Che’s was an improved Dragon Taming Technique helped by the Second Ancient Emperor, capable of forming contracts not only with demon beasts but even with the virtual concept beings "Luck True Dragon."
In contrast, Gu Qianqiu practiced Lin Jing’s version of the Beast Taming Technique. For the Beast Taming prodigies entering the Origin Realm, Lin Jing would eventually have to teach them a version capable of contracting Spirit Monsters, otherwise, the grand plan to send Origin Realm Spirit Monsters to the Celestial Essence wouldn’t be feasible.
"Who do you think will win?" Gao Sheng looked at Wang Xiao beside him.
Wang Xiao scoffed, "Do we even have to think? Definitely Wang Che, whatever Lin Jing thinks. I could believe Wang Che might not be his match, but surely any Longevity Body could match his strength. Innate Immortal Body, even Void Profound could battle it!"
"Is that so." Gao Sheng picked his nose contemplatively, yet doubted that Lin Jing would pit Gu Qianqiu merely to see her lose?
Nevertheless, Gao Sheng was rather curious about how Gu Qianqiu might win.
Lin Jing had stated earlier that as per the Beast Taming Grand Competition standards, only Beast Taming related Secret Techniques could be utilized, ruling out Secret Techniques like the Celestial Demon Body.
Without the Celestial Demon Body, Gao Sheng couldn’t fathom what advantage remained for Gu Qianqiu’s Longevity Body.
"Five Dragons Facing the Court!" As the duel commenced, Wang Che waved his hand, summoning five Luck True Dragons of Divinity Transformation cultivation. These Luck True Dragons were even more formidable than same-level ancestral bloodline dragons, their power unfathomable.
Additionally, they also carried the Immortal Body Power of reversing Qiankun, flipping Yin and Yang.
"Qiankun Immortal Body can transfer one’s disadvantages to others, transferring others’ advantages to oneself. I endowed a portion of the Immortal Body Power to the five true dragons, making them as if possessing an Immortal Body."
Wang Che confidently declared that the Immortal Body powered dragons were like heaven’s aid, any injury they received was instantly transferred to the enemy, and he couldn’t envision losing.
However, facing the highly confident Wang Che, Gu Qianqiu merely sighed and summoned the Holy Calamity Corpse...
"Roar!!!!"
The black dragon’s head emerged from the void ripples, just releasing one angry roar at the opposite five true dragons, like the heavens imploding with a bang. Wang Che’s expression changed; the terrifying Celestial Demon Roar shattered even the Immortal Body Power on the Luck True Dragons, blowing Wang Che entirely away.
Amidst the black wind, Wang Che’s heart shattered, gazing at the immense dragon corpse with an uncomprehending expression.
"What is this."
What manner of creature could instantly shatter Luck True Dragons augmented by the Qiankun Power, riddled with shock and terror, this Qiankun Immortal Body who had never tasted defeat whisked into a mountain body, toppling it.
Compared to his pet beast, Wang Che’s own Immortal Body Power was indeed stronger, instantly transferring the damage he suffered back to the Holy Calamity Corpse, but as he crawled out of the rubble, he saw, after taking his attack, the corpse bore merely a few scratches, barely counting as injuries.
This signified that the opponent’s previous attack was but a trivial strike, incapable of breaking his defense, yet capable of dealing lethal damage to him!
Even though he remained unharmed due to the Qiankun Power, facing Gu Qianqiu stood by the black dragon corpse pet, Wang Che for a moment, didn’t know how to continue the counter, with his Dao Heart somewhat fractured.
This woman...strong beyond reason.
Possibly stronger than Senior Sister You Ran.
Not just him, even Gao Sheng and Wang Xiao at the side were stunned, failing to comprehend what this black dragon was.
A monster?
What demon beast could suppress an Immortal Body, what a joke.
Where did Gu Qianqiu contract such a monster?
"Do you wish to continue?" Lin Jing chuckled, "This black dragon is one of the Saint Heirs of the Celestial Demon Realm, slain by me in the Origin Realm. Every line of its blood is not much inferior to the so-called Immortal Body Power. And it has several similar strengths."
"I..." Hearing this, Wang Che was shocked beyond measure. This black dragon was actually a Saint Heir of the Celestial Demon Sect? Being the disciple of an Ancient Emperor, he naturally knew the Celestial Demon Sect was the cause for the closed ascension passageway, the culprit behind the lower realm’s chaos, a top-tier force across realms. Such an existence turned into a pet beast?
Is this how the Beast Taming Technique is meant to be used?
