Chapter 299: Transcending to Sainthood

The information brought by Senior Divine Pine left Lin Jing silent for a long time.

Indeed, there is no such thing as absolute peace in this world.

He sighed: “Senior Divine Pine, what about the Yao Race remnant Soul you encountered in the Void Realm?”

“Naturally, it went for Reincarnation.”

“In any case, that old fox did help me quite a bit. The reason he gifted me the Golden Bell was also in the hope that after he was reincarnated into the Tian Yuan World, he could grow up during the Golden Age.”

“So, you’d best not have children anytime soon, kid, or else it would be troublesome if someone took advantage of the loophole.”

“You wouldn’t want your Dao Companion to give birth to an old monster that has lived for over ten thousand years, would you?”

Lin Jing gave a wry smile. What was all this?

“I have a general understanding of the situation. Senior Divine Pine, you have just reached the Void Profound Realm, do you need to consolidate your Realm? I will prepare an Immortal Cave for you.”

“As for the Heavenly Devil Sect and this matter of opening the Golden Age, once we are finished with the matters at hand, we shall go to request an audience with Your Majesty the Demon Emperor to discuss it.”

“Right now, my Ice Soul Gu is going through a Breakthrough, and I must focus on staying by its side.”

“I know you’re busy; you even used a Clone to brush off two Void Profound Demon Ancestors.” It could see at a glance that the one meeting it was merely Lin Jing’s wood Clone; as for the original body, it was likely protecting the Gu insect.

However, these matters were not urgent, and it hadn’t originally planned to tell Lin Jing about them so soon.

After all, the invasion of the Heavenly Devil from outside the world had little to do with Lin Jing, a Foundation Establishment Stage Longevity Physique; when the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up.

As for opening the Golden Age, Divine Pine had originally prepared to wait until it had Cultivated to the Dao Inquiry Stage. With the help of that Yao Race Asking Dao expert, it had recovered quite a few memories of its Legacy. With these inherited memories, Divine Pine felt that reaching the Dao Inquiry Stage within a thousand years shouldn’t be a big problem.

However, now that Lin Jing had become the Demon Court Holy Son, Divine Pine chose to inform him in advance. After all, if the Golden Age could be opened early, its Cultivation speed could also accelerate, and becoming a Dao Inquiry expert might only take a hundred years.

“After all, there is no precedent for a Strange Gu devouring another Strange Gu. I must watch over it personally to be at ease.” Lin Jing smiled and bowed.

“This spider can be considered fortunate to follow you.”

Subsequently, under the arrangement of Lin Jing’s wood Clone, Senior Divine Pine also took root on this mountain to consolidate its Realm.

As for the Qilin Old Ancestor, it was also sent away by another of Lin Jing’s Clones with a few ordinary Transformation Pills.

Just like that, another two months passed.

A top-grade Water Spiritual Vein connected to the deep sea—no, it should be an Ice-attribute Spiritual Vein now. To make this place more suitable for the Ice Soul Gu to Cultivate, Lin Jing had transformed this Water-attribute Spiritual Vein into an Ice-attribute Spiritual Vein using some Ice-attribute treasures of heaven and earth.

At this moment, inside this top-grade Ice Spiritual Vein, a cocoon made of spider silk was vibrating with a humming sound. Lin Jing sat cross-legged outside the Spiritual Vein, his Divine Sense constantly observing.

Originally, he had been worried about whether any accidents would occur during the process of devouring the Thunder Tribulation Gu, but thanks to the Demon Emperor not only erasing all consciousness and power from the Thunder Tribulation Gu but also returning it to its most Origin form, it was much easier for the Ice Soul Gu to devour it.

“It’s so delicious.”

“Wuwuwu, it’s truly so delicious.”

“In this life, I have never eaten anything so delicious…”

Accompanied by a poignant voice, Spiritual Qi surged within the ice vein. Lin Jing stood up. With a boom, the white cocoon expanded and burst, turning into countless white threads. Amidst a scene resembling a white meteor shower, a small spider with an ice-crystal body and flickering electric light appeared.

“It succeeded.” The corners of Lin Jing’s mouth raised slightly as he looked at the Ice Soul Gu.

Cultivation, Core Formation Early Stage!

At the same time, a Demon Core Divine Ability was also conceived by the Ice Soul Gu!

“Demon Core Divine Ability, Transcending to Sainthood!”

This Divine Ability… Lin Jing narrowed his eyes.

The Thunder Tribulation Gu had a special ability: it could use lightning Gu Poison to stimulate the host’s Physical Body, forcing it to transcend the limits of its mobility, thereby erupting with stronger physical power, defense, and reaction speed.

At that time, Elder Lei had used similar means to break free from the Demon Emperor’s pressure.

However, this ability to forcibly increase Physical Body strength through the power of Lightning Tribulation also carried a heavy burden, causing the Physical Body to gradually collapse after the battle ended.

But when the Ice Soul Gu devoured the Thunder Tribulation Gu, there was immediately a way to alleviate the side effects of this method of increasing physical power: by using the ultimate ice-frost power to control movement with stillness, slowing down the overload of the Physical Body.

As for this Demon Core Divine Ability, Transcending to Sainthood, it was a Divine Ability that perfectly combined this power of movement and stillness, granting the Ice Soul Gu a domineering Gu Poison that could increase the Physical Body strength of other life forms without side effects!!

If the Cultivation was not high, increasing by a major Realm was not out of the question.

“This Divine Ability is very good.” Lin Jing couldn’t help but speak. Once he finished tempering his body with the scale blood of the Thunder Dragon Clan, and then coordinated it with the Ice Soul Gu’s Gu Poison Divine Ability, he might truly be able to attain Sainthood with his Physical Body in the future!

“Is it very good…” However, the Ice Soul Gu felt miserable inside.

“It’s still not a match for those two. This Divine Ability seems to require a host or a pet to exert its power; it doesn’t provide much of a boost to its own individual strength.”

In this way, there were too many restrictions, and it was still no match for the Pine Leaf Squirrel and the Dragon Carp.

Although the Dragon Carp’s Demon Core Divine Ability also tended toward the auxiliary type, the Dragon Carp’s Rare Beast Divine Ability was, in the eyes of the Ice Soul Gu, truly too terrifying.

Especially after the battle of Tongtian City, Lin Jing had used the Ghost Fire technique to burn the Souls of countless experts with the Dragon Carp.

Looking at the entire Tian Yuan World, the only one whose attainment in the Ghost Fire technique was above the Dragon Carp’s might be the Dao Inquiry Stage Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall.

Those Void Profound Elders who had lived for thousands of years might not even possess Netherworld Ghost Fire of the same quality as the Dragon Carp’s.

This Heaven-Defying quality of Netherworld Ghost Fire, when fused with the Yan Emperor Divine Power and other flames, reached the level of a “quasi-Immortal Fire,” no longer resembling power of the mortal world.

And then there was the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

Although the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Rare Beast Divine Ability was not a combat-type Divine Ability, and its Demon Core Divine Ability was not as unparalleled in offense as the Yan Emperor Divine Power, the more Five Elements items stored in its Demon Core space, the stronger its Yao power became. But that was exactly where the problem lay.

If it were before the battle of Tongtian City, this Demon Core Divine Ability of the Pine Leaf Squirrel would not have been able to exert such abnormal power.

After all, the Pine Leaf Squirrel could only be considered moderately wealthy at the time. However, after the battle of Tongtian City, every time Lin Jing dealt with an enemy, he could loot quite a few Five Elements items from their Storage Pouch.

The resources carried by numerous experts were all placed by Lin Jing into the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Demon Core space. The quantity and quality of the Five Elements items within were naturally terrifying, which led to the current strength of the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Demon Core being extremely absurd, also unlike a mortal object.

“Don’t worry so much. In the future, I’ll let you devour more Strange Gu, and you’ll eventually catch up to them.” Lin Jing laughed, simultaneously suppressing his urge to Breakthrough.

The feedback from the Ice Soul Gu’s Breakthrough allowed him to attempt to charge toward the Golden Core, but before closing seclusion to charge toward the Golden Core, Lin Jing had one more important thing to do.

He took out the tiger tooth gifted by the Demon Emperor that could contact and summon the Demon Emperor, and directly input mana into it.

“Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, something terrible has happened—”

Demon Court.

The Demon Emperor, who was studying the Yao Race Legacy, frowned.

“You are now the Demon Court Holy Son, representing the face of the Demon Court. There is nothing that should make you so flustered.”

The Demon Emperor had learned of Lin Jing’s experiences: joining the Beast Taming Sect, the Beast Taming Sect sealing itself; joining the academy, the academy suspending operations. But at the moment, having joined the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor had the confidence to protect this Longevity Physique well.

Could the massive Demon Court, as a top-tier force in the Tian Yuan World, be cursed away by a mere Longevity Physique?

She hoped that as the Demon Court Holy Son, Lin Jing could have the state of mind he should have.

Unflustered when encountering matters.

“The Tian Yuan World may be facing an impending disaster!” Lin Jing called out to the Demon Emperor.
