Chapter 137: The Wilderness Stirs

Because Lin Jing had joined the Beast Taming Sect for too short a time, and had not traveled around the Great Desolation as a Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect after joining, before the heavenly pride ranking was announced, nobody in the Great Desolation knew that the Beast Taming Sect had a figure like Lin Jing.

This is also why many people, upon seeing the list on the heavenly pride ranking, felt that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion must have made a mistake somewhere.

Now, Lin Jing’s name held infinite potential and boundless glory, so the several great Demon King Old Ancestors naturally couldn’t let Lin Jing remain an unknown “Inner Sect Disciple.”

If word got out, it would seem as if the Beast Taming Sect didn’t value talent.

In the end, the rank of Inner Sect Disciple still wasn’t considered the core of a Sect.

Even the True Disciple level was still lacking.

Only the identity of the Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect, who is the candidate for the next Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, could truly bind Lin Jing and the Beast Taming Sect together.

When the future inheritor of a Sect possesses the potential for Soul Transformation, there is no doubt that the Luck of this Sect will be immensely prosperous.

At the same time, this was sending out a signal.

“Besides improving the strength of the internal Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, there is actually another way to boost the Sect’s fortune.

“That is to have powerful Cultivators, or Geniuses with extraordinary potential and talent, join the Beast Taming Sect!”

“If several human Nascent Souls join the Beast Taming Sect, then the Human Fortune and the Demon Fortune of the Beast Taming Sect will be considerably balanced.”

“However, this was almost impossible before, as even among Loose Cultivators who reached the Nascent Soul Stage, which one wasn’t an Old Monster dominating a region? Setting aside their habit of being idle, even if they intended to join a Sect, they would definitely join those Super Sects, and wouldn’t choose a Sect that was sealed off and lacked even a Spiritual Vein.”

“However, if these Loose Cultivators can be made to see the potential of the Beast Taming Sect—then things will be different.”

“A Sect that might give birth to a ‘Soul Transformation’ expert in the future is extremely rare in this Great Desolation. Your appointment as the Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect sends a message to the Great Desolation: with you here, the Beast Taming Sect is bound to rise in the future.”

“In this way, given the current decline of the Beast Taming Sect, as long as other Sects are not determined to be enemies of the Beast Taming Sect,

they certainly won’t kick it while it’s down. Perhaps some ‘Cultivation Families,’ in order to invest in the Beast Taming Sect, will continuously introduce high-quality Immortal Seedlings to join the Beast Taming Sect and become Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect. Furthermore, some Cultivators with profound cultivation,

would also be willing to become Guest Elders of the Beast Taming Sect, betting on the future rise of the Beast Taming Sect.”

“So, you understand why the Demon King Old Ancestors want you to become the Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect now.”

After Elder Mo finished explaining, Lin Jing nodded and said, “I knew about all that—it’s mainly that I truly have no interest in the position of Sect Master.”

Senior Brother Ouyang… seems to still be thinking about the position of Sect Master. “Forget it, Saint it is. After all, becoming the Saint doesn’t mean I have to become the Sect Master.” Lin Jing thought that he bore a slight responsibility for the Beast Taming Sect being sealed, and now he had taken half of the Undying Demon’s Treasure Trove, so he might as well bear the title of Saint.

However, there was one thing Lin Jing was quite worried about.

Would showing up so openly be too high-profile?

The Demon King Old Ancestors and Elders probably didn’t know that he had already been assassinated by a Demon Emperor in Hidden Dragon City, right?

If they knew, would they still dare to hold a grand ceremony and let him appear publicly?

“Senior?” He wanted to ask for Divine Pine Senior’s opinion.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. Furthermore, with you appearing so boldly, those who want to hunt you down will be even more hesitant to act rashly,” Divine Pine transmitted nonchalantly.

Lin Jing’s mouth twitched, feeling that this was unreliable.

At this time, the matter of Lin Jing ascending the heavenly pride ranking was only known to a small fraction of Cultivators who had bought the world report immediately. As for the Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, since they no longer even had a Sect, almost no one spent those few Spirit Stones to understand worldly affairs.

They were all honestly seizing the time to Cultivate.

The Outer Sect Disciples who had mistakenly entered the Cave Heaven with Lin Jing back then—He Yiming, Qin Caixin, Ziran, and others—were all doing the same, quietly entering seclusion to improve their cultivation.

With the Sect gone, the Beast Taming Sect rarely held special Sect activities, and communication between Disciples was also greatly reduced. However, today, what confused the many Disciples was that they had actually received a Sect Summons.

At Beast Taming Peak, in a certain plaza, large numbers of Beast Taming Sect Disciples arrived, each wearing a look of confusion.

“The True Disciples are here too???” He Yiming and the others were surprised to find that even those True Disciples who were usually elusive were now descending upon the plaza, having been summoned together.

“What happened?” Never mind the ordinary Disciples, most of the True Disciples were also confused at this moment. Only the True Disciple with the Dun Jia Body silently looked up at the sky.

“Something big is about to happen.” The True Disciple with the Dun Jia Body spoke slowly, receiving collective incomprehension from the other True Disciples.

“We’re already in this state, what big event could possibly happen?”

As the words fell, Sect Elders also appeared in the plaza one after another. Almost every member of the Beast Taming Sect located in Hundred Flowers Valley had arrived, further giving everyone a bad premonition.

The next moment, Elder Mo and Elder Yu appeared in the sky, looking down at the numerous Disciples and their old friends below.

Seeing that almost everyone had gathered, Elder Mo spoke, “Just today, the new heavens pride ranking has been released.”

“A Disciple from our Beast Taming Sect has made the list!”

“What?!” As Elder Mo’s voice faded, the Disciples exclaimed in surprise, and the Elders also looked astonished.

“Which True Disciple made the list?” The Elder of Nine Dragon Peak asked blankly. “Could it be Zhang Jia??”

He looked toward the True Disciple with the Dun Jia Body, because this young man had been chosen and cultivated by Old Ancestor Wang Batian, who had the highest seniority, and had gained great Opportunity.

“No, no, no.” The True Disciple with the Dun Jia Body quickly waved his hands, daring not to accept the credit.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Elder Mo slowly said, “Number 32 on the heavenly pride ranking.

Cultivation base: Qi Refining Eleventh Layer.

The reason for making the list: Entering the Immortal Palace Cave Heaven a second time, simultaneously breaking the Qi Refining Extreme Realm along with his Pet Beast, suppressing and subduing the Ten Horrors of the Cloud Sea, and defeating ranks 98 and 66 on the heavenly pride ranking—the person who made the list is Lin Jing, formerly an Inner Sect Disciple of our Beast Taming Sect!”

As his voice fell, the entire plaza went silent. He Yiming, Qin Caixin, Senior Brother Ziran, and the other Disciples who were Outer Sect members alongside Lin Jing back then showed looks of disbelief. But when they came to their senses, they felt that perhaps only Lin Jing

possessed this ability.

“Lin Jing, the first place winner of the Outer Sect Ascension Dragon Festival event that year? He actually—” Most Disciples were actually still very unfamiliar with the name Lin Jing.

Not giving the Disciples time to recall, Elder Mo continued, “By the decree of the Sect Old Ancestors, Lin Jing is hereby sealed as the Saint Child of the Beast Control Sect, and a ‘Sealing Ceremony’ will be held one month from now at the original location of the Beast Taming Sect’s Mountain Gate!”

“Next, everyone is to go to Elder Yu to collect Invitations, and deliver them with the utmost speed to the designated Sects, Families, and Loose Cultivator Immortal Cities!”
