Chapter 307 Demon Subduing Temple

“That is, an Ancient Thunder Dragon!”

The many monks of the Demon Subduing Temple also saw the scene outside the city through their Divine Sense.

They could not help but be shocked; someone was actually able to make nine Ancient Thunder Dragons pull a carriage. What was this person’s background?

As Lin Jing identified himself, the expressions of these monks changed again.

As expected!

They didn’t really take in the title “Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect,” but the name Lin Jing was not unfamiliar to the monks present.

Demon Court Holy Son!

The monks of the Demon Subduing Temple acted as if facing a great enemy, not understanding how the Demon Court Holy Son could appear in this place.

As for the name Lin Jing, let alone these Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation monks who were terrified by it, even some Void Profound Cultivators would likely walk the other way upon hearing it.

Even among the second generation, there were gaps. Some Prodigies of Asking Dao forces might indeed be highly valued, but they might not necessarily be able to make the Asking Dao powerhouses of those forces take action for them; many Asking Dao experts completely ignored worldly affairs.

But Lin Jing was different. He was the hope for the Demon Court’s revival. The fact that the Demon Emperor was willing to personally take action to sweep away powerful enemies for him already explained his status. Perhaps only a few second-generation figures like Crown Prince Gu could compare to Lin Jing in terms of status.

“Beast Taming Sect.” At this moment, the white-robed old monk was also stunned for a moment, but then he spoke up to quiet everyone down.

“Do not worry, Saint Lin has no ill intentions in coming here this time.”

“You all just stay here.”

The white-robed old monk looked outside the city, and in the next instant, he appeared on the clouds outside the city. His image also transformed from that of an old monk into that of a young white-robed monk.

He understood the subtext in Lin Jing’s words; this time, Lin Jing had not come representing the Demon Court Holy Son, but the Beast Taming Sect.

Very few people knew that the abbot of the Demon Subduing Temple had once had a friendship with the second-generation Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect while traveling in the Ancient Kingdom.

This time, Lin Jing could be considered a Junior of an old friend coming to pay a visit.

Besides that, the white-robed monk also saw the connection between Lin Jing and himself.

This Demon Court and Beast Taming Sect Saint had been baptized by his Buddha light.

The other party’s talent for Buddha cultivation was born because of him!

“Senior, we meet ‘again’.” Lin Jing looked at the young monk; the other party’s image was exactly the same as the monk’s phantom in the Demon Suppression Pagoda under the Beast Taming Sect.

“Your Highness the Saint—” The young monk smiled and said, “I am also very surprised that an Opportunity sent out by a wisp of consciousness I left behind actually landed on the head of the Demon Court Holy Son.”

Lin Jing smiled slightly and said, “I must thank you, Senior, for the baptism of Buddha light; it helped this Junior a lot. As for the Demon Court, that was a later experience.”

“Therefore, this time, upon coming to the Western Desert, I specifically came to the Demon Subduing Temple to pay a visit and thank you, Senior.”

The young monk said, “No need to be polite. My Buddha light can only help people unlock their talent for Buddha cultivation. But for Your Highness the Saint to grow to this point, it is not by relying on my Buddha light, but entirely due to Your Highness the Saint’s own talent.”

“This place is not suitable for conversation. How about Your Highness the Saint accompanies me into the temple to sit for a while?” The white-robed monk invited. Lin Jing nodded and then looked at the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor beside him.

“I will be back shortly.”

The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor nodded and then glanced at the white-robed monk. The white-robed monk also looked back, unable to help but sigh in his heart at how much the Demon Court truly valued this Saint.

A moment later, Lin Jing sat in the tea courtyard of the Demon Subduing Temple, personally hosted by the abbot of the Demon Subduing Temple.

“I wonder what brings Your Highness the Saint to the Western Desert this time?”

“Could it be that you also came to subdue demons?” the white-robed monk asked.

“You could say that,” Lin Jing said. “Recently, there seem to be quite a few demons in the Western Desert. Are many outside Cultivators also coming to subdue demons?”

“Yes, the opening of the Golden Age has caused countless Ancient demons to revive. The Western Desert is about to become chaotic again…”

The white-robed monk thought for a moment and said, “Does Your Highness the Saint know the Cold Moon Sword Immortal?”

Lin Jing said, “Naturally, I do.”

“Ever since the Sword Ancestor ascended to Asking Dao, the Cold Moon Sword Immortal has also become an Asking Dao successor. She is now one of the most famous Sword Cultivator Prodigies on the continent. She should also arrive in the Western Desert shortly to slay demons.”

“When I was young, I spent some time in the Ancient Kingdom’s Demon Subduing Division, so I still have contact with them. A few days ago, the Sword Ancestor sent a message hoping that I would look after her Disciple for a while.”

The white-robed monk sighed, “According to the Sword Ancestor, this Cold Moon Sword Immortal is a descendant of the Feng family in Martial Emperor City. She came to the Ancient Kingdom with her parents when she was young, but they encountered demons on the way. Her parents were killed by the demons while protecting her so she could escape. Fortunately, the Cold Moon Sword Immortal was saved by a passing Elder of the Heaven Sword Gate, which is how she survived.”

“This has also fostered the Cold Moon Sword Immortal’s extremely hateful personality toward demons. Therefore, hearing that demons have been causing chaos in the Western Desert recently, she insisted on coming no matter what.”

“There should be many other Prodigies like her coming to slay demons. This is the fortune of the Western Desert.”

Lin Jing was silent. It was the first time he had heard of the Cold Moon Sword Immortal’s background. So, her parents had died tragically at the hands of demons. No wonder she wanted to team up with him so much, using him as bait. It seemed she really wanted to kill more demons.

“Could it be that Your Highness the Saint also came to subdue demons because of a special experience?” The white-robed monk knew that Lin Jing had once been persecuted by the Yin Corpse Sect, so he asked.

“No,” Lin Jing said straightforwardly. “I heard that the abbot of the Golden Light Temple wants to find a successor for his Golden Light Gu, and I have come for this Golden Light Gu.”

“With the Buddha cultivation talent you unlocked for me, Senior, I can be considered half a member of the Buddhist sect.”

“I should meet the conditions to receive the Legacy.”

“I heard that demons are currently rampant in the Western Desert, and one of the trials for the Golden Light Temple’s Golden Light Gu Legacy is to slay demons. Therefore, subduing demons is naturally a step I have to go through after coming to the Western Desert.”

The white-robed monk paused.

“So that’s how it is, Your Highness the Saint has come for the Golden Light Gu—”

“That may be so, but Your Highness is currently the Demon Court Holy Son after all. I am afraid your identity will make it difficult for many in the Buddhist sect to accept you.”

Lin Jing smiled slightly and looked at the white-robed monk.

“That is why I came to visit you, Senior, is it not? You are one of the top ten Void Profound figures of the Buddhist sect, and as your half-Disciple, why can I not be considered half a Buddhist Disciple?”

“You are just like your second-generation Sect Master, a slippery one. Back in the day, he was just the same.” The white-robed monk was stunned again, then laughed heartily, recalling his experiences when he was young.

At that time, his cultivation was not high, only Nascent Soul. Relying on the unique Seal Divine Ability of the Buddhist sect, he helped the Great Wilderness Seal the Immortal Demon. The friendship forged back then was very worth reminiscing about.

The white-robed old monk fell into deep thought.

“For the sake of this friendship, I will help you. However, the Saint must promise me that during the battle for the Legacy, you will not harm the Buddhist Prodigies. At the same time, help the Buddhist sect deal with a demon that has revived from the ancient times.” The white-robed monk said, “What does Your Highness the Saint think?”

“The power of lightning is the nemesis of demons.” He looked toward the direction of the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor outside the city.

He felt that if the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor took action, it could alleviate some of the pressure on the Buddhist sect. Besides, if Lin Jing was determined to obtain the Golden Light Gu, it would be better to avoid life-and-death conflicts—normal competition was better to avoid diminishing the strength of the Buddhist sect.

Lin Jing nodded and said, “Easily done. However, I have heard that the Golden Light Temple’s trials have very high requirements for attainment in Buddhist Dharma. This Junior currently only practices two Buddhist techniques. Could Senior perhaps also pass on a few Mahayana Buddhist techniques to me—”

“Do you have the Imperishable Golden Body or the Tathagata Palm here?”

The white-robed monk:?
