Chapter 144: The Might of the Saint Child

On the day of the grand ceremony, many Geniuses from the Great Wilderness arrived. Most of them came specifically to challenge Lin Jing. Such a grand occasion was an opportunity to make a name for oneself, though some knew their limits and simply came to witness the demeanor of a Prodigy from the heavenly pride ranking.

Unfortunately, many Prodigies from Sects in the Great Wilderness couldn’t even pass the level of the Beast Taming Sect’s True Disciples.

“Haha, haven’t you eaten? Go eat more later!” Zhang Jia, a True Disciple with the Dun Jia Physique, was clad in armor and holding a shield. Facing the spiritual light attack from the Immortal Radiance Sect’s Senior Brother, he didn’t even bother dodging, claiming the opponent was merely tickling him.

“Too slow, eat my sword.” A Beast Taming Sect True Disciple with the Wind Spirit Physique performed Body Integration with an Eagle-shaped Yao Beast, transforming into a birdman with extremely fast flight speed. The Body Cultivator challenging him from the Barren Body Gate could never catch him, only repeatedly getting hit by his Sword Feathers.

“Fairy, hehehe———” Another Foundation Establishment Genius from a different Sect was wrapped up by a gigantic Azure Snake Spirit, his eyes glazed over, infuriating his Sect Elders. He was facing a Beast Taming Sect True Disciple who possessed the Bewitching Physique.

This woman was originally a brothel woman, but because she possessed a special Physique that met the criteria for gambling Rare Beasts, she was redeemed by Elder Mo and is now a True Disciple of a major Sect, which is quite inspiring.

The Beast Taming Sect was originally a first-rate Sect in the Great Wilderness, and its True Disciples were naturally powerful, ranking among the top young talents in the Great Wilderness. Now, having been fiercely trained by the Yao King Old Ancestors, ordinary Geniuses couldn’t even defeat them, let alone challenge Lin Jing.

“Good.” Seeing this, the Yao King Old Ancestors were pleased; this was exactly the effect they wanted.

“These Beast Taming Sect Disciples are stronger than we imagined.” The three people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were still drinking tea and watching the matches.

They were not in a hurry to make a move. The two Disciples originally wanted to observe Lin Jing’s Spell usage before challenging him, but who knew the previous challengers were so useless they couldn’t force Lin Jing to act.

“I’ll go first and test his strength for you,” said the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect female Disciple named Bai Niao. The other Ten Thousand Beasts Sect male Disciple named Qing Yu nodded.

“Be careful.”

After receiving permission from the Deputy Sect Leader, Bai Niao flew up from the mountain peak.

She landed gracefully on the Dao Combat mountain peak, just like a real flying bird, attracting many people’s attention. The Yao King Old Ancestors on the Beast Taming Sect’s side also frowned; this Sect of Beasts had finally made its move.

“Bai Niao, a Disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect from Qing Province, has come for a match.”

Ten Thousand Beasts Sect—why had this Sect appeared in the Great Wilderness? The other Sects in the Great Wilderness discussed it animatedly.

“A Sect from Qing Province, are they hostile?”

“No, they also sent a congratulatory gift to the Beast Taming Sect, so they shouldn’t be here to cause trouble.”

“I heard the Dao of Beast Taming philosophies of the two factions are completely different. Do they actually have a connection?”

On the Beast Taming Sect’s side, Lin Jing remained indifferent, still calmly sipping his tea. A young man with a full beard leaped out.

“The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? I’ll take this.”

Duan Wenchang, 50 years old, possessed Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation. He was one of the Beast Taming Sect’s True Disciples. Although he didn’t have a special Physique, his strength lay in his immense affinity with beasts; he was Innate at understanding Beast Speech, making him quite suitable for the Way of Beast Controlling.

He could be considered a leading figure among the current generation of Beast Taming Sect True Disciples. He quickly transformed into a Lion-man, holding a Tiger Tooth Saber, and fully armed himself using the Body Integration Secret Technique and the Beast Transformation Treasure Secret Technique.

“You are not my opponent.”

“We’ll only know after we fight.” Bai Niao of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect remained calm facing Duan Wenchang. Provoked, Duan Wenchang instantly charged forward, swinging several Sabers. At this moment, many Cultivators from the Great Wilderness Sects showed expressions of shock. In their view, the Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect were already cheating enough, but as this Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Disciple threw out a Ring-shaped Magic Treasure, it felt as if the entire sea of clouds had collapsed.

One, two, three——those were thousands of white Seagulls. With such a quantity of Yao Beasts, cultivation level was no longer the key factor. The moment these Seagulls appeared and spread their wings, the entire mountain peak seemed to be swept by a storm.

Boom!

The terrifying gale swallowed the sky full of Saber Qi unleashed by Duan Wenchang and also smashed the fully armed Duan Wenchang flying away. Bai Niao of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect leaped up, standing atop the flock of birds. She took out a Jade Flute, and as she blew it, the formation of the infinite Bird Yao changed once more.

“There must be at least a thousand Bird Yao——and more than a dozen are in the Foundation Establishment Stage alone!” Seeing this scene, the Cultivators of the Great Wilderness were incredibly shocked, unable to understand how one Cultivator could afford to raise so many Bird Yao.

The Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect also looked incredulous. They knew that just raising one or two Pet Beasts made them feel resource-scarce and pitifully poor!

“She can actually control so many Bird Yao—” At this moment, the Yao King Old Ancestors also took a deep breath. Seeing that Duan Wenchang was completely outmatched, they suspected that this woman’s Yao Beast Army was likely supported not just by her personally, but by her Sect.

It was very unfair.

“What should he do?” In the crowd, Bai Yuran of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion looked towards Lin Jing, who was comfortably drinking tea within the clouds at the peak. This Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was also a famous power in Qing Province; their Old Ancestors could even be traced back to the Kong Xuan Realm. Their Legacy and foundation were naturally incomparable to these Great Wilderness Sects.

“As a Prodigy on the Ancient Kingdom’s heavenly pride ranking, he can’t possibly be defeated by a Cultivator from Qing Province!” As one of the producers of the heavenly pride ranking, Bai Yuran waved her delicate pink fists, secretly worrying as she looked at Lin Jing.

Even at this moment, Lin Jing still calmly gazed at the Seagulls filling the sky: “A decent Yao Beast Army. The Wind Spell Fusion is very coordinated. Unfortunately, it ultimately failed to perfectly twist into a single force.”

Compared to the Mosquito Beasts, it was far inferior.

Seeing Lin Jing start to critique, Bai Niao of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect frowned and said, “Saint Your Excellency, it’s time for you to come up.” Lin Jing smiled and said, “To be able to defeat Senior Brother Duan, you certainly have some skill. You truly live up to being a Genius from Qing Province. Since you are a guest, I’ll give you a piece of advice: playing the Way of Beast Controlling in front of me is like showing off a meager skill before an expert.”

“Next, you better not pin your hopes of defeating me on these Bird Yao you’ve raised—【Bluffing——Bai Niao, show this Saint Child of the Beast Taming Sect a lesson.】” The Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate calmly took a sip of tea. The next instant, Lin Jing landed on the Dao Combat mountain peak. Seeing this, Bai Niao raised one hand high and brought it down heavily. Instantly, the infinite Bird Yao flapped their wings, whipping up a hurricane.

“Is it really just a bluff—”

Bai Niao’s eyes flickered.

The next moment, she sensed that something was wrong.

The Seagulls around her seemed to be trembling.

It was as if they had encountered an extremely terrifying Bloodline suppression.

“What happened?”

At this moment, Bai Niao of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

As Lin Jing’s aura was revealed, the formation of the sky full of Bird Yao instantly fell into chaos, scattering and flying everywhere. They were no longer under Bai Niao’s control, and as if stimulated, they began attacking indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe!

“Oh no, that True Qi——Rumor has it that a Cultivator breaking through to the Extreme Realm might cause their Cultivation Technique to mutate. Could it be that cultivating the Beast Taming Art and achieving a Breakthrough to the Extreme Realm grants the Cultivator a suppressive effect against beasts!” The Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect suddenly focused on the Pet Control True Qi emanating from Lin Jing.

The Yao King Old Ancestors were stunned. Is the Beast Taming Art this awesome? They looked at the Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, their expression seeming to ask: Little brother, what’s up with your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s beast-controlling Cultivation Technique? If this is the standard, there’s no way we can defect to you!

“It’s fine.” Although a slight change had occurred, the Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect believed Bai Niao could handle it. Before long, Bai Niao indeed regained control over the flying birds.

“That move won’t work on me anymore. Hurry up and send out your Pet Beast.” Bai Niao’s heart was racing; she had already sensed how difficult Lin Jing was to deal with.

However, to the extreme frustration of the Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and equally to the Elders and Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing suddenly held a Pet Control Gourd in one hand and the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle in the other, asking, “Well, do you want to fight the Pet Beasts inside the Gourd, or the Vicious Beasts inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle?”
