Chapter 253: The Return of the ※53⛬

Seeing the Dragon Tortoise cracked open after a few strikes, the First Holy Maiden couldn’t accept it. Where exactly did Xu Qingyao find this man and monkey as reinforcements? Ergu was, after all, a Yao Beast Prodigy recognized by the Demon Ancestor.

“Oh ha ha ha ha—.” While the First and Second Holy Maidens were horrified, only Xu Qingyao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She lacked any Saintess decorum.

Afterward, she spoke lightly, saying, “Let’s stick to one after another.”

She wanted to watch the helpless expressions of the First and Second Holy Maidens for a bit longer.

However, after witnessing the strength of the “Great Saint,” even the Second Holy Maiden’s strongest follower, the Iron-Eating Beast who was once evenly matched with the Dragon Tortoise, had lost confidence.

“I hate monkeys,” it muttered silently.

Unfortunately, the competition had to continue in the end.

Facing this “monster” summoned by Lin Jing, no person or beast could withstand a single strike.

If they could, there would be a second and a third strike.

“Cough—” As the Iron-Eating Beast’s armor was completely shattered and its entire body was sent flying, the remaining followers felt their scalps tingle.

As for Magpie Feather’s side, there was a deathly silence.

“It truly is the might of a Demon Ancestor-level Bloodline.” The Ink Qilin Clan Chief looked deeply at Lin Jing again, trying to discern something, but unfortunately, with its Void Profound Early Stage cultivation, it couldn’t see through anything.

The reason the Great Saint illusion created by Lin Jing was stronger than the Zhu Yan Demon Ancestor was not only because Lin Jing spent a great amount of Magic Power to conjure a set of Magic Treasures that could amplify its strength, but also because he used the Superimposed Illusion Method to shape the Great Saint’s Illusion Heart.

Multiple layers of illusions were added inside the Great Saint’s body.

The first layer was the Aura of wreaking havoc in the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Court, which matched the War Beast Zhu Yan’s Heart of War, allowing the two to perfectly merge.

The second layer was the oppressive illusion fully projected by him, the Beast Master, demonstrating the might of the Beast Controlling Physique.

When enemies gazed into the illusion’s eyes, they would first be intimidated by the astonishing Aura, without needing to inflict much damage.

Simply making them momentarily unstable in mind, preventing them from smoothly using their Demon Core Divine Ability, was enough for Lin Jing to immediately determine the victor.

This Illusion Beast, utilizing the Spell Spirit, Superimposed Illusion Art, Divine Pincer Method, and Reverse Illusion Art, could be said to be Lin Jing’s Peak creation in illusion techniques today.

“I originally thought he was just lucky enough to encounter a Qilin cub with Precious Blood, but now it seems that’s not the case.”

That’s not it.”

“It’s because he is strong enough that the Qilin cub with Precious Blood willingly follows him!” the Qilin Clan Chief exclaimed.

Even Xu Qingyao, when she was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, didn’t have a Pet Beast with a Demon Ancestor Bloodline, right?

Under the Great Saint’s battle might, none of the followers of the First and Second Holy Maidens dared to fight anymore.

The two Holy Maidens felt helpless and powerless.

“What kind of dog-shit luck did Xu Qingyao run into?”

“Forget it, a small defeat at a tea party is nothing.”

“In that case, let’s end it here.” The Qilin Clan Chief began to announce the end of this predictable competition. However, at this very moment, in the direction of the Kirin Ancestral Ground, countless Ancestral Souls suddenly fell silent.

“Roar!!!” At the same time, a Qilin rushed over.

Although the Dragon Carp had been continuously receiving Bloodline enhancement, it could still sense the outside world. Its true concern for coming to the Kirin Clan this time was not the Breakthrough.

What it cared about was that since the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Ice Soul Gu were absent, it was the only one who could accompany Lin Jing into battle.

At that time, Senior Sister would definitely reward it with countless Treasures based on its heroic performance.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Carp had not yet finished its Bloodline enhancement by the time the tea party started.

The Dragon Carp was extremely impatient internally.

Driven by its anxious heart, its potential erupted, allowing it to receive the blessings at a faster rate. It finally completed its Bloodline upgrade on the day of the tea party. It landed heavily beside Lin Jing, first glanced at the monkey, then at Lin Jing,

And finally—it looked toward the followers of the First and Second Holy Maidens.

“It’s already over,” Lin Jing said, petting its head.

“Look at you, rushing so much. You didn’t miss any blessings, did you?”

“Roar???” The Dragon Carp was stunned. It’s over?

“Yes, it’s over.”

Lin Jing looked at the First and Second Holy Maidens. Seeing that Lin Jing’s Fire Qilin had also returned, they took a deep breath.

A Beast Master who wasn’t even at his Peak state could rely on just one Pet Beast to suppress their followers until they couldn’t breathe. Where did this Fire Dragon Pill Master monster come from?

If they allowed him to grow to the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Stages, it would be disastrous. They would stand even less chance against Xu Qingyao.

“But you returned just in time.” Lin Jing recalled the Great Saint illusion, and then recalled the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp, having entered the Zen Staff Space, heard Lin Jing’s voice the next moment.

“The fight just now consumed too much Magic Power. I don’t have much left. Transfer all your Magic Power to me—”

Dragon Carp:???

“Congratulations.” At the same moment, outside, the Qilin Clan Chief congratulated Lin Jing on winning the final Victory, and also congratulated Lin Jing’s Pet Beast for successfully receiving the blessings of the Qilin Ancestors.

Three Ultimate Treasures floated toward Xu Qingyao. Naturally, she wouldn’t keep these three Ultimate Treasures; they were all Lin Jing’s merit. As Lin Jing thanked the Qilin Clan Chief and returned to Xu Qingyao’s side, Senior Sister immediately awarded the three Ultimate Treasures to Lin Jing.

“They’re yours,” she smiled.

“There will be other rewards once we return.”

“Thank you too, Senior Sister.” Lin Jing took the three Treasures, smiling happily. The Strange Fire could be given to the Dragon Carp, as it had now entered the Demon Core Realm and could withstand more Strange Fire within its body.

As for the Bone Ring, he would keep it as a Life-Saving Item.

Although a Soul Transformation Stage Demon Emperor Bone Qilin might not be able to fend off many enemies for him.

As for the Thousand Lifespan Fruit, it was the most unexpected and rarest item for Lin Jing. He just didn’t know if this thing could be given to Gu Qianqiu, who only had ten years of Lifespan left.

After all, this fruit was potent, and Gu Qianqiu’s weak Physique due to depleted Lifespan might not be able to handle it.

If she couldn’t eat it, it would be a good choice whether he ate it himself or gave it to the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

If he ate it himself, although this Lifespan, gained through external force rather than self-Cultivation, wouldn’t benefit from the Longevity Physique bonus, it still amounted to a full thousand years. Saving it for future burning would cause no heartache, as it was free gain.

If given to the Pine Leaf Squirrel, it could use five hundred years of its Lifespan to create a stronger Wood Clone to cause trouble on his behalf.

“The Entertainment Program has concluded. Next, we can move on to the main topic.” The Qilin Clan Chief looked at the three Saintesses.

“In the past ten years, Your Highnesses, the three Saintesses, what progress have you made regarding the Yao Race Revival Plan?”

It first looked at First Holy Daughter Liu Yan. This Entertainment Program only boosted the morale of the Third Holy Maiden, leaving the First and Second Holy Maidens in low spirits.

“Senior, I haven’t made much progress in these ten years,” the First Holy Maiden shook her head.

The Qilin Clan Chief sighed, then looked at Second Holy Maiden Shen Xi.

“I haven’t made much progress on my end either,” the Second Holy Maiden replied.

The Qilin Clan Chief fell silent, finally looking at Third Holy Maiden Xu Qingyao.

“The same, no progress,” Xu Qingyao said, causing the Qilin Clan Chief to completely give up hope.

“You all.” The Old Qilin could only say this was expected. After all, it was completely unrealistic for three Saintesses to make progress every ten years on something that countless members of the Yao Race hadn’t managed to advance in tens of thousands of years.

However, it still wondered if His Majesty the Demon Emperor was right to entrust this matter entirely to three Half-Yao Saintesses for research.
