Chapter 47: Demon Suppression Pagoda

After receiving his life-bound Beast Taming space Magic Treasure, Lin Jing once again expressed his gratitude to Elder Mo and his loyalty to the Sect, saying that he was a man of the Beast Taming Sect in life and would be its ghost in death. Even if he were to reincarnate into the Animal Realm, he would still be a beast of the Beast Taming Sect. Hearing this, Elder Mo fell into a brief silence.

“Alright, I know you love the Sect, but you don’t have the composure a Longevity Physique should have at all. I’ll send you back.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Elder Mo, but we can head back on our own.” Lin Jing wanted to pass through Gengyun Peak to test the results of his training with the Pine Leaf Squirrel over the past few days.

“It’s no trouble at all.” With his high Golden Core Stage cultivation, just as the Black Bear Monster could blow away the Little White Mouse in one breath, Elder Mo could also send Lin Jing and the others flying with a single palm strike.

“Then I’ll trouble Elder Mo to send us to Gengyun Peak,” Lin Jing said.

“Gengyun Peak?” Elder Mo was puzzled. “What are you going there for… wait, the Squirrel Leaps to the Heavenly Capital?”

He suddenly thought of something and said, “I actually forgot about that place. Do you already know the history of the Pine Leaf Squirrel tribe and the matter regarding the Sect’s Guardian Divine Beast?”

“Yes, last time I passed through Gengyun Peak with Senior Brother Ouyang, the Pine Leaf Squirrel tried to jump once, but it didn’t succeed. It has practiced hard these past few days, so I plan to take it there to try again.”

“I see…” Elder Mo said with considerable interest. “That works. I’ll take you there.”

After he finished speaking, Lin Jing’s vision blurred, and in an instant, they arrived at the place where the Squirrel Leaps to the Heavenly Capital. Elder Mo stood to the side, seemingly not intending to leave. Looking at Lin Jing, he said, “You may begin.”

Lin Jing didn’t care if anyone was watching. He directly summoned the Pine Leaf Squirrel, who was currently building its home inside the space Magic Treasure with its ‘Innate Earth-Wood Saint Body.’

“I’ve practiced hard with you for several days. Can you start your own branch in the genealogy? Try again!” Lin Jing said.

“Zhi?” After the Pine Leaf Squirrel came out, it stood on the ground and looked around. Finding itself back at Gengyun Peak, its emerald eyes lit up, full of confidence. To be able to fly across this place, it had been tortured by all sorts of monsters and ghosts until its mind nearly collapsed.

Facing various terrifying intimidations, its heart had been tempered enough to be as still as water.

Such growth gave it quite a bit of confidence.

Whoosh!

The Pine Leaf Squirrel brought out its largest red leaf and jumped onto it. With a flash of red light, it soared into the sky. Seeing this, Elder Mo wasn’t surprised; he was already very clear about what abilities this Squirrel had.

“Soaring counts as a leap too…” he murmured to himself, not being as narrow-minded as Senior Brother Ouyang.

Unfortunately, this time it only flew a small distance higher than before. The Pine Leaf Squirrel bared its teeth as it was pushed back by the powerful pressure, spinning down like a wind-fire wheel along with the red leaf.

“Elder Mo! Please catch it!” Lin Jing was startled and once again asked for help. Elder Mo casually caught the dazed Pine Leaf Squirrel.

The leap to the Heavenly Capital failed again. While vomiting, the Pine Leaf Squirrel felt as if it had been struck by a bolt from the blue. It wasn’t because it couldn’t start its own branch in the genealogy, but because the illusion training might have to continue for a while… “Did it fail?” Elder Mo shook his head. “Even a Rare Beast failed. This close friend of the Second Generation Sect Master… what was he thinking? Can a Pine Leaf Squirrel really succeed?”

“It’s a pity. Perhaps after it reaches the Foundation Establishment stage and evolves its Demon King Bloodline, it will succeed,” Lin Jing said. “Or, Elder Mo, does the Sect have a place specifically for training mental strength?”

Over the past few days, he had found that the training effect of illusions on the Pine Leaf Squirrel was getting worse. This was mainly because the Pine Leaf Squirrel knew in advance that it was an illusion, and after experiencing many illusions, it had developed some immunity.

This kind of Illusion Dao Spell only had the best effect when used against an enemy for the first time.

“A place for training mental strength…” Elder Mo hesitated for a moment. “There actually is such a place. I even just mentioned it to you earlier.”

“The Great Desolation Demon Suppression Pagoda?” Lin Jing guessed.

“Yes.” Elder Mo nodded. “To thank the four major Sects for their assistance and for agreeing to help guard the Demon Suppression Pagoda, the Buddhist Cultivator Guest Elder from the Demon Subduing Division left behind a special Divine Ability in the pagoda before he left.”

“The Demon Suppression Pagoda is divided into multiple levels. Each level has a Formation that absorbs the demonic power of the underground demons, keeping them in a constant state of weakness, unable to Cultivate or resist.”

“This demonic power is then converted into demonic pressure at specific levels to impact those who enter.”

“It’s not that this demonic pressure is used to train the entrant’s mind, but rather, as long as the entrant can withstand the demonic pressure, the special Divine Ability left by that Buddhist Cultivator in the Demon Suppression Pagoda will be triggered. It bestows Buddha Light to bathe the entrant’s mind, making their mental strength even more powerful.”

“This is also to help the four major Sects Cultivate more Cultivators who can serve as Demon Subduing Guards. It allows them to have enough courage to face enemies when they encounter demons and those on the Evil Path in the future.”

Lin Jing felt this place was good and said, “Elder Mo, can the Pine Leaf Squirrel and I enter?”

“No!” Elder Mo’s beard twitched. “The demonic pressure of the Demon Suppression Pagoda is not something a Qi Training Stage Cultivator can withstand. I told you before, right? Among the three secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, Undying Rebirth has very high requirements for the strength of the Divine Soul. Therefore, usually, only after a Disciple reaches Foundation Establishment and becomes a True Disciple do they have the qualification to enter the Demon Suppression Pagoda to temper their mind in preparation for learning the Undying Rebirth technique.”

“If it’s just withstanding the pressure of a Foundation Establishment demon… given its current situation, it shouldn’t be hard to do.” Lin Jing looked at the Pine Leaf Squirrel and said to Elder Mo.

“As for myself, I’m actually fine too.” After the Black Bear Monster took over the first batch of Mutated Dragon Bone Flower research, he had told Lin Jing that the phantom images he created not only had extremely strong pressure but could also cope with a certain amount of pressure. As long as the enemy didn’t actually attack, it would be incredibly lifelike.

After saying that, he transformed into the form of a tall Buddha. This Buddha sat cross-legged on a lotus throne, with an extraordinary aura, like the most noble deity in the human world. His appearance was solemn, and Sarira light radiated from behind him, with forty-two white rainbows connecting north and south, illuminating the entire peak.

“Mo Wuya!!!” The Tathagata Buddha opened his eyes and gently raised his hand. A terrifying pressure enveloped Elder Mo, causing his pupils to shrink instantly and a drop of cold sweat to fall.

“I am the Buddha of the Immortal Realm. I was ambushed by a powerful enemy and forced to reincarnate into the Lower Realm. I am now only 50 Spirit Stones away from opening the Ascension Path. If you help me return to the Immortal Realm, I will surely reward you handsomely in the future.” The Buddha’s voice filled the air.

Elder Mo was startled, but hearing the Squirrel’s laughter, he immediately remembered. He said, “So this is the Illusion Dao Spell you comprehended in Bodhi Heaven. It’s actually so lifelike; its power is no less than that of the Old Ancestors in the Sect.”

“Elder, try to suppress me with your pressure.” After Lin Jing spoke, Elder Mo nodded and released his own Golden Core pressure toward Lin Jing. However, under the illusion constructed by the extremely precise purple True Qi, and under the power sketched out that was comparable to a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, Elder Mo’s Golden Core pressure did not have much of an effect on Lin Jing.

It was as if Lin Jing’s illusion had not only deceived the enemy but also deceived himself.

“So Heaven-Defying…” Seeing this, Elder Mo hadn’t expected the Spell Lin Jing comprehended in Bodhi Heaven to be so powerful. He couldn’t help but say, “If that’s the case, you two can indeed enter the Demon Suppression Pagoda to strengthen your minds with the help of the Buddha Light Divine Ability! Ordinary demonic pressure will be completely ineffective against the two of you.”

Lin Jing returned to his original form. “That’s great. By the way, Elder… that demon has been sealed for so many years. It won’t be that as soon as we go, the Seal loosens and it suddenly comes out, right?” “Absolutely impossible.”
