Chapter 142

If one were to say that previously, the several Yao Beast King Ancestors had no interest in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, their expressions instantly tightened when the Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate revealed that even Yao Beasts could Cultivate the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding.

Spells suitable for Yao Beasts to Cultivate were pitifully scarce, let alone Cultivation Techniques that allowed them to Cultivate. At least in the Tian Yuan Ancient Kingdom, they had never heard of any Sect whose core Cultivation Technique could be practiced by beasts.

The Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding, as the various Yao Beast King Ancestors knew, was a Cultivation Technique used in conjunction with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Magic Treasure, the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle.

Relying solely on the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle to subjugate Yao Beasts had significant flaws; if one encountered powerful Yao Beasts with extremely fierce temperaments, they could easily lose control.

But if used in conjunction with the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding, it would be different. It could suppress and control Yao Beasts to the maximum extent. Controlling an entire army of Yao Beasts would be no problem, and one could even use the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding to manipulate this army to perform various incredible tactics, such as collective self-detonation. Besides this, the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding had another special property: when using beasts as food, one could absorb double the nutrition and improve their Cultivation.

Compared to the Beast Taming Art, this property actually wasn’t much, as Cultivators who practiced the Beast Taming Art could also achieve Breakthroughs through feedback from their Pet Beasts’ upgrades.

Most Cultivation Techniques had similar means of improving Cultivation.

However, one point about numerous Cultivation Techniques was that they could only be cultivated by humans. But now, this Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding could even be cultivated by Yao Beasts, which made all the difference.

With this, the Cultivation and combat power of the several Yao Beast King Ancestors present could almost be improved in every aspect.

It could be said that the value of a Yao Beast Cultivation Technique was several levels more precious to the several Yao Beast King Ancestors than the Treasure Trove of the Undying Demon.

Seeing that the several Yao Beast King Ancestors had fallen silent, the Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate smiled slightly, knowing that he had achieved a small part of his goal. He slowly stood up and said, “You might as well consider it for a few more days and make your plans after the investiture ceremony.”

“On the day of the investiture ceremony, this old man will have the Disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect challenge your Sect’s Saint, to demonstrate the power of the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding to you all.”

“You Yao Beast Kings are the kings among beasts; you ought to Cultivate the Dao of Beast Taming to command all beasts!”

“Huu…” After the Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate left, the six Yao Beast King Ancestors had not yet left the main hall, and most were still thinking about the so-called Yao Beast Cultivation Technique.

After pondering, Ancestor Wang Batian slowly spoke, “You wouldn’t actually want to join this so-called Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, would you? The other party speaks nicely, and this Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding is indeed attractive, but where would such a free lunch come from?”

“If not for this Longevity Physique, and if the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were an Ancient Kingdom Sect, perhaps I would really be tempted. But I truly do not want to go to a place like Qingzhou,” the Pig King said.

“But you are still itching for the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding, right?” the Jiao King asked.

The Pig-headed Yao Beast King nodded.

“It’s a pity that he couldn’t possibly be carrying the improved version of the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding; otherwise, I would really want to just snatch it,” the Pig King said, feeling frustrated.

The other Yao Beast Kings glanced at it. With the other party’s Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivation, plus the unknown number of Yao Beasts hidden within the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, even if they all attacked together, they could not guarantee they could take him down.

“Do not be greedy. Although the Cultivation Technique is good, it is not something that belongs to us. Peacefully developing the Beast Taming Sect is the hard truth,” the Deer King said.

“That’s right. Once the Saint’s Longevity Physique reaches Major Achievement, he can just sprinkle some blood to reward us Old Ancestors; isn’t that better than this lousy Cultivation Technique!” the Elephant King muttered. Although the conditions of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were very tempting, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had miscalculated one point: they did not know that the Beast Taming Sect was raising a Longevity Physique!

The blood of a Longevity Physique at Major Achievement was the most attractive thing to Yao Beasts.

“These guys have made a reasonably correct choice.” At this moment, the several Yao Beast King Ancestors did not know that they had been overheard by Divine Pine.

“I’m curious. That kid Lin Jing is having a headache because he can’t control too many mosquito swarms relying solely on the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, and has even started to create a controllable army of blood Mosquito Beasts. If he knew about the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding that Yao Beasts could Cultivate, I wonder what he would do—”

Lin Jing was already cultivating the Beast Taming Art, so naturally, he could not Cultivate the Beast Taming True Understanding, but if his contracted Pet Beasts could Cultivate, that would be different.

The difference in strength between a Yao Beast that cultivated a Cultivation Technique and one that did not was vast. Take the Pine Leaf Squirrel, for example; it was only because it cultivated the Azure Emperor Longevity Art that it possessed such control and suppression over vegetation.

If the Dragon Carp cultivated the Ten Thousand Beasts True Understanding, its strength would surely undergo a transformation, and it would at least be able to assist Lin Jing in controlling more mosquito swarms. However, Divine Pine sighed; this Beast Sect had a Soul Transformation Stage expert sitting in charge, clearly not something the current Beast Taming Sect could take down. Otherwise, it would really want to incite the Beast Taming Sect to go to war with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Time flew by, and it had already been a month since Lin Jing returned to the Great Wilderness. The investiture ceremony prepared by the Beast Taming Sect was also about to begin.

On this day, most of the Beast Taming Sect’s Disciples returned to the original mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect.

The original mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect only had its Spiritual Vein sealed; it did not mean that this place no longer belonged to the Beast Taming Sect. It was just that continuing to Cultivate and reside here had no meaning. However, on this joyous day, the Beast Taming Sect still chose this place to hold the ceremony.

Under a cloudless blue sky, Cultivators from various Sects of the Great Wilderness held invitations and flew towards the Beast Taming Sect from all directions. One could not tell at all that the Beast Taming Sect was a Sect that had been sealed. This was the benefit brought about by the birth of a highly promising Genius within the Sect.

If the Beast Taming Sect were to appoint a true Disciple who was not listed on the heavenly pride ranking as a Saint, surely so many Sects would not give them this Face, let alone bring numerous gifts to congratulate them.

“The Sect Leader of the Xianxia Sect has arrived, bringing a congratulatory gift of one bottle of Grade 4 Medicinal Pill, the Ascension Mist Pill.”

“The Grand Elder of the Huangti Sect has arrived, bringing a congratulatory gift of one Jade Magic Treasure—”

“Immortal Master Ziyun of Tianyun City has arrived, bringing a congratulatory gift—”

Elder Yu smiled and greeted the people from various forces of the Great Wilderness while collecting the congratulatory gifts. He felt that the Yao Beast King Ancestors were truly geniuses; by holding this grand ceremony on the occasion of Lin Jing ascending the heavenly pride ranking, they should be able to collect quite a few good things.

At this moment, Lin Jing had also finished his seclusion and returned from the Hundred Flowers Valley to the original mountain gate location of the Beast Taming Sect. Listening to the list of congratulatory gifts, he silently memorized the names of these Sects.

In his early years, he was exceptionally studious and had firmly memorized hundreds of cultivation forces in the Great Wilderness. When the time came, he would exclude the forces that had sent gifts, and the ones remaining would be those that had not.

“Congratulations, congratulations.”

“Congratulations to your Sect for the appearance of such a peerless Genius.”

The Beast Taming Sect’s mountain gate was bustling with activity. Many Sect Cultivators were greeting acquaintances within the Beast Taming Sect, but suddenly, the entire venue fell silent.

“The Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate from Qingzhou has arrived, bringing a congratulatory gift of one Ten Thousand Beasts Circle—”

“Hahahaha.” The Lord Deputy Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate arrived with two Disciples, bringing full sincerity. His own Cultivation was also the strongest in the venue, instantly attracting the attention of many. After all, for a Sect from Qingzhou to appear here was truly too strange.

Lin Jing watched this powerhouse from the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate ascending the mountain. However, suddenly, while he had not yet revealed himself and was hiding his aura in the shadows, Lin Jing discovered that someone seemed to be observing him.

He quickly looked over and it was actually a young girl dressed in a white dress. Lin Jing was slightly stunned. Who—was this person?

How did he not remember any force bringing such a young girl up the mountain?

“Who are you? Did you not bring a gift and sneak up here?” Lin Jing met her gaze and slowly spoke.
