Chapter 325: First Time on the List

After using the Ghost Bride’s power to blast Dao Hui away, Lin Jing’s expression remained calm.

Although the Divine Control Technique consumed a lot, it couldn’t withstand his twenty thousand years of lifespan, which was as vast as an ocean.

“Senior Undying, rest assured, I promised Great Master Wu Mo that I would not harm the Buddhist prodigies during this Legacy trial. This palm strike was merely to demonstrate to this Fellow Daoist whether I could utilize the power of ghosts and gods.” Lin Jing bowed with one hand to the Undying Monk.

Having said that, he looked at the other Buddhist prodigies.

“In that case, no one should be competing with me for this Golden Light Gu anymore.”

“No more, no more.” The Undying Monk gave a bitter smile and looked at Monk Dao Hui, who had only fainted.

He inwardly wondered what kind of monster this Demon Court Holy Son was.

It was one thing to be able to Seal an Empty Profound Ghostly Object, but he could actually control her power, and so skillfully at that.

Could Lin Jing be the Reincarnation of the Ghost Bride’s husband?!

It seemed the Golden Light Gu had to be given to this Demon Court Holy Son.

The Undying Monk believed that if he went back on his word and favored the Buddhist Disciples in this situation, it wouldn’t be long before the powerhouses of the Demon Court came to the Western Desert to demand an explanation.

Furthermore, Lin Jing hadn’t been without contribution to the Western Desert; at the very least, he had helped the Buddhists deal with an Empty Profound Ghostly Object.

Thus, even if the Golden Light Gu were handed over to Lin Jing, it wouldn’t be too much of a loss.

The Undying Monk sighed in his heart; this outcome was not unacceptable.

“Thank you, Senior Undying,” Lin Jing said with a devout bow.

“Then Senior, can the Golden Light Gu be handed over to me now?”

“Mhm—”

The Undying Monk nodded. Moreover, it was fortunate that this Demon Court Prodigy didn’t seem to be an evil person. The Yin Corpse Sect had been destroyed because of him, and now he was in a hurry to claim the Golden Light Gu to pursue the powerhouses of the Gu God Sect. If Lin Jing’s obsession with Strange Gu could lead him to destroy the Gu God Sect, then the Undying Monk felt he would be doing a good deed.

A moment later, Lin Jing took the Golden Light Gu from the Buddhist gate.

After Lin Jing left, Great Master Wu Mo looked at the Undying Monk, who was nearing the end of his life, and said, “Not only did you pass on the Golden Light Gu Legacy to him, but you also gave him your insights on the Imperishable Golden Body. Aren’t you afraid that this Demon Court Holy Son will take your Legacy and go astray?”

The Undying Monk shook his head and said, “His Luck is unparalleled, and he can even control an Empty Profound Ghostly Object. In that case, it’s better to form a good connection. Besides, didn’t you also teach him your Buddha Light Technique?”

“However—” He looked up at the qi luck gold list in the sky and saw that Lin Jing, who had defeated Monk Dao Hui, still didn’t seem to be on the list—

“Relying too much on external power? After all, it’s the power of a Void Profound level ghost god; the qi luck gold list didn’t attribute that power to him. Perhaps he needs to use his own Pet Beast to defeat other prodigies to plunder their Luck,” said the Undying Monk.

“Perhaps,” Great Master Wu Mo agreed. He wasn’t concerned about this; with Lin Jing’s potential, it was only a matter of time.

After obtaining the Golden Light Gu, Lin Jing didn’t care that he hadn’t successfully made it onto the qi luck gold list. His primary task now was to pursue Elder Feng Gu of the Gu God Sect. According to the Undying Monk, it was Elder Feng Gu who had brought several Disciples to invade the Golden Light Temple. Although it was a pity the Gu God Sect Leader hadn’t come, Lin Jing was extremely fond of the Wind Gu.

Therefore, after completing the task given by the Demon Emperor, Lin Jing did not leave the Western Desert. Instead, accompanied by the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor, he searched for traces of Elder Feng Gu, hoping the other party was still in the Western Desert!

Besides, the Dragon Carp hadn’t successfully broken through yet, so he had to wait for the Dragon Carp for a while.

Half a month later.

Burial Immortal Volcano.

The Burial Immortal Volcano is one of the ten Forbidden Lands of the Tianyuan Continent, famous for the Sun Essence Fire that burns fiercely enough to bury an Immortal.

It is extremely dangerous here, with flames often erupting naturally. If one approaches recklessly, even a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator could be instantly burned to death on the spot.

However, such a dangerous place is not an absolute land of death.

For Cultivators with special Physiques or those who practice special Cultivation Techniques, it is also a precious land for cultivation.

For example, for the Sun Temple, their Sun Scripture can effectively resist the harsh environment of the Burial Immortal Volcano and turn the terrifying Sun Essence Fire to their own use.

Any Cultivator who has reached Major Achievement in the Sun Scripture initially gains the qualification to come to the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Volcano to feel the power of the sun. If they reach Major Achievement in the Sun Scripture during the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s even more perfect. This way, they can directly comprehend the power of heaven and earth inside and outside the Burial Immortal Volcano through the Sun Scripture to condense a Sun Primordial Spirit, without even needing to refine a body double.

“Lin Jing—” At this moment, a figure was flying rapidly over the Western Desert. It was Monk Dao Hui, the Sun Temple Prodigy whom Lin Jing had defeated with the Ghost Bride’s power. His expression was gloomy, and he was exceptionally furious about the events at the Golden Light Temple.

“Demon Court Holy Son, wait until I reach Soul Transformation.”

Monk Dao Hui could not accept the fact that he had lost to the Demon Court Holy Son, especially since news of this had spread throughout the Western Desert over the past half month—rumors that Lin Jing had defeated him and obtained the Golden Light Gu Legacy.

Although clever people could tell from the changes in the gold list rankings that Lin Jing had defeated him using external power, there were still many ignorant people who believed that he, a Buddhist Prodigy, was inferior to the Demon Court Holy Son. Monk Dao Hui, who placed great importance on his own and the Buddhist gate’s reputation, could not accept this.

However, he didn’t immediately go to reclaim his honor. He didn’t believe that a Core Formation Cultivator like Lin Jing could keep an Empty Profound Ghostly Object sealed for long.

Thus, he planned to first Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage at the Burial Immortal Volcano. At that time, he would seek guidance not only from Lin Jing but even from the stronger Demon Court Saintess.

“Why has the sun power on the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Volcano weakened so much?”

Braving immense pressure, Monk Dao Hui approached the Burial Immortal Volcano. However, as soon as he drew near, he discovered something strange. In the Golden Age with the recovery of Spiritual Qi, the fires of the Burial Immortal Volcano should have been burning even more terrifyingly; why did they feel much weaker?

In almost no time, he discovered the culprit behind all this, as a surge of demon power that seemed to have just reached the Nascent Soul Stage suddenly erupted from a volcanic crater. The terrifying demon power almost instantly led Dao Hui to conclude that at least a Demon King with an ancestral Bloodline had been born!!!

“Impossible. A Demon King Stage—no, even someone in the Demon Core stage could come to the Burial Immortal Volcano to Cultivate? Could it be the Golden Crow Clan?” He was in disbelief and flew quickly toward the source to investigate, but what awaited him was a female voice coming from nowhere.

“You just broke through and a decent-looking opponent has arrived. Little Carp, go and test your skills on him.”

“What on earth is that?” Before Monk Dao Hui could react, he saw a Dragon Carp swimming out of the volcano on waves of fire, its gaze sharp as it looked at him.

“Bo bo~”

Monk Dao Hui’s heart sank. Half a day after seeing this “ghost,” many Cultivators discovered that the top rankings of the qi luck gold list had changed, but the content of this change made countless Cultivators find it bizarre.

qi luck gold list, 12th place: Dragon Carp. Cultivation: Early Nascent Soul Stage. Reason for listing: Defeated the Buddhist Sun Divine Body, Monk Dao Hui!

“What’s going on? Who is this Dragon Carp? To defeat a Nascent Soul Great Perfection at the Early Nascent Soul Stage—is it a Yao Beast Prodigy? From which faction? Could it be the son of the Demon Emperor?”

“It doesn’t sound like a name; it sounds more like a race name—a carp with dragon blood! What’s the deal? It’s already a Demon King; it’s not like it’s an unintelligent Yao Beast. Doesn’t it have a name yet?”

“Dragon Carp… Could it be that Rare Beast of the Demon Court Holy Son, Lin Jing… No, Lin Jing himself hasn’t made it onto the list yet.

How could a Pet Beast be on the list alone? Could it be that Monk Dao Hui was soloed without the Beast Master being present? That shouldn’t be the case; there must be another carp—”
