Chapter 306: The Saint Arrives

Western Desert.

This desert is located west of the Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom, in the opposite direction of Qingzhou, and is extremely far away.

A few days later.

【At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. Reading good books in Taiwan is super worry-free.】

At the westernmost part of the Tian Yuan Continent, a spatial vortex condensed. Immediately after, nine extraordinary golden thunder dragons flew out, pulling a wooden boat.

A few figures appeared on the flying boat.

There was the Lord of the Demon Court wearing a golden dragon robe, Lin Jing in a cyan robe, and a yellow-haired old man dressed as a coachman.

“Not far ahead is the Burial Immortal Volcano. This is a Forbidden Land for Immortals and gods, difficult for ordinary people to approach. Let us part ways here.”

After the Demon Emperor spoke, Lin Jing immediately summoned the Dragon Carp and instructed the little carp, “Go with Her Majesty the Demon Emperor to the Burial Immortal Volcano to practice.”

“Remember to be obedient; I’ll wait for you to return after you’ve formed your Nascent Soul.” He patted the Dragon Carp’s head.

He looked forward to the birth of the first Nascent Soul Pet Beast by his side.

“Bo~” The Dragon Carp nodded, its gaze sharp as it looked into the distance, already sensing the terrifying aura of fire ahead.

It was just the Burial Immortal Volcano, waiting for a visit from it, the Great Dragon Carp Emperor!

With the Demon Emperor sister as a Protector, could it possibly be burned to death?!

“Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor, the Saint’s safety is now in your hands. I hope there will be no need for this Emperor to take action.”

The Demon Emperor glanced indifferently at the yellow-haired old man. This was the Dao-protecting Demon Ancestor Lin Jing had ultimately chosen—the ancestor of the Thunder Dragon Clan!

Lin Jing had thought the Lei Long Scale Blood previously gifted by the Thunder Dragon Clan was enough, but as it turned out, it was far from sufficient.

On this journey west, Lin Jing was determined to forge an invincible Physical Body. He felt his current physical strength was still far from enough, so keeping the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor by his side made it more convenient to ask for advice on body tempering.

As for becoming the Saint’s Dao Protector, the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor accepted it gladly. As long as he kept this Saint Highness happy, perhaps he could become the first Demon Ancestor of the Demon Court to complete transformation!

To let Lin Jing, the Saint, feel the sincerity of the Thunder Dragon Clan and to repay the favor of Lin Jing helping the Thunder Dragon Clan’s little princess transform, he had even called over nine collateral prodigies of the Thunder Dragon Clan with decent talent to pull the carriage for Lin Jing!

Each one had reached the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Demon King!

If Lin Jing hadn’t refused, he even wanted to drag the little princess of the Thunder Dragon Clan to attend to Lin Jing’s daily needs.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. With me here, no one can harm a single hair on the Saint’s head. If they do, I’ll jump headfirst into the Burial Immortal Volcano!” the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor vowed.

His current image as a yellow-haired coachman was a transformation, not a true Yao Race transformation. It was for the convenience of following Lin Jing; otherwise, his thousand-meter-long true form would be difficult to move around in human territory.

“Mhm.” The Demon Emperor nodded, then grabbed the Dragon Carp and vanished before Lin Jing and the others.

After the Demon Emperor left, the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your Highness Saint, where shall we go next?” he asked.

“Are we going straight to the Golden Light Temple?”

The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor also knew Lin Jing’s mission on this trip was to obtain the Golden Light Gu.

In the Western Desert, there are eighty-one Buddhist cities, and each one has a temple.

The Golden Light Temple is one of the stronger temples among the eighty-one Buddhist temples.

The head monk of the temple has reached the Void Profound Peak cultivation and carries significant weight in the entire Buddhist community.

In terms of strength, he belongs to the first tier below the head monk of the Sun Temple, the current leader of Buddhism.

“No rush. To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools. Let’s go to the Demon Subduing Temple first,” Lin Jing said after some thought.

“The Demon Subduing Temple?” The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor was taken aback, not understanding what the Saint was going there for.

Lin Jing smiled and said, “My Beast Taming Sect and the head monk of the Demon Subduing Temple have some history.”

“It would be one thing if I hadn’t come to the Western Desert, but since I’m here, I naturally must pay a visit.”

The head monk of the Demon Subduing Temple was the eminent monk who had entered the Ancient Kingdom, joined the Demon Subduing Division, and collaborated with the Great Wilderness Sects like the Beast Taming Sect…

…to Seal the Undying Demon.

It was also the Dharma Body left by this monk that helped Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel develop their Buddhist cultivation talents.

If Lin Jing went directly as the Demon Court Holy Son to obtain the Gu from the Buddhist Sect, he would surely face many complications. However, if he could get some help from the head monk of the Demon Subduing Temple, his subsequent process of obtaining the Gu should be much smoother.

Even with the Demon Emperor’s backing, Lin Jing wouldn’t choose the hard mode for the mission if he could help it. If there was an easy mode, he would naturally choose it.

Find an acquaintance to pull some strings first!

The Immortal Cultivation World is also a society of human relations!

The location of the Demon Subduing Temple: Demon Swaying City.

There are also a small number of Mortals in the Western Desert, but the desert environment is harsh, with many demons and ghosts, so Mortals can only survive by relying on the Buddhist Sect.

Therefore, the Mortal commoners of the eighty-one Buddhist cities in the Western Desert are all Buddhist followers and will send children with cultivation talent to the temples to practice.

But compared to the Ancient Kingdom, the humans in the Western Desert are still too few, which is why the Buddhist Sect wants to go to the Ancient Kingdom to preach. “Abbot, Yin Ling Temple sought help from our temple a few days ago. The demon suppressed under Yin Ling City is about to break the Seal, and reinforcing it hasn’t worked!”

“Abbot, Xing Jue Temple also sought help from our temple a few days ago. Three eminent monks of Xing Jue Temple have already been possessed by ghosts!”

“Yun You Temple—”

In the Demon Subduing Temple, an old monk in white closed his eyes. Listening to the reports from the Disciples below, he slowly spoke, “The arrival of the Golden Age is a disaster for our Buddhist Sect, but also an opportunity.”

“Countless years ago, the Western Desert was a fertile land. However, in the end, the Immortal Palace wars caused this place to become extremely desolate, turning it into a land of death.”

“Later, it bred countless demons. Among the many Sects on this continent, only my Buddhist Sect chose to take root in this desolate Western Desert for tens of thousands of years to suppress these chaotic demons.”

“Not only because our Buddhist hearts are compassionate and cannot bear to see demons bring chaos to the world…”

“…but also because suppressing demons is a form of cultivation for us, an embodiment of great Karma.”

“These demons were born from ancient wars, indescribable and difficult to erase, only able to be sealed in the earth veins and suppressed by various temples. Originally, this situation would have continued indefinitely, but the opening of the Golden Age has loosened the Seals of these demons.”

“It is well. After tens of thousands of years of development, my Buddhist Sect is no longer what it once was. These reviving Demonic Creatures will become the nutrients for our Buddhist Disciples’ growth.”

“Since several temples have sought help, is there anyone among you willing to go subdue the demons? If these demons are completely eliminated, it would undoubtedly be a deed of great Karma.” The old monk in white looked at the Disciples, only to see these Buddhist monks wearing bitter expressions.

That’s true.

But while they could handle ordinary Yao Beasts or Demonic Cultivators…

…these demons born from the resentment of fallen Immortals and the deaths of great experts, combined with various oddities, were truly impossible to view by common logic.

Even after tens of thousands of years of development and the Buddhist Sect becoming much stronger, the demons recorded in those ancient texts were still too terrifying.

While the temple was silent, suddenly, almost at the same time, several monks broke into a cold sweat and looked toward the city gates in alarm.

“Abbot, many powerful Yao Beasts have arrived—”

The old monk in white also frowned, sensing an aura at the Demon Ancestor level. He couldn’t help but release his Divine Sense. He saw nine thunder dragons pulling a flying boat, slowly stopping outside Demon Swaying City. On the flying boat was a young man in a cyan robe with a Squirrel standing on his shoulder.

“Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect, Lin Jing, comes to visit.”
