Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 79Book 4: : All at Nascent Soul

Vol 4 Chapter 79: All at Nascent Soul

Immortal Prison Mountain, inside the Immortal Prison.

Screams rang out continuously.

Two identical Dragon Carp kept unleashing their Rare Beast Divine Abilities, refining wave after wave of demons and monsters.

One after another, Cultivation Core Pills were refined from the lives of these creatures.

“Holy Son of the Demon Court, even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!!”

“D*mn you, Longevity Physique! If there’s a next life, I’ll eat you alive!!”

Curses echoed throughout the Immortal Prison, and both Dragon Carp wiped sweat off their foreheads—already sick of hearing it.

Right now, the real Dragon Carp felt like crying. Refining Cultivation Core Pills was way more exhausting than making regular pills.

Luckily, once this batch was done, freedom was near.

With one premium pill after another fed to it, it didn’t take long for the Pine Leaf Mouse to break through to Perfected Core Formation Stage.

Paired with the newly advanced layer of the Everlasting Emperor’s Longevity Art derived by Senior Mo Pine, in just one month of external time inside the Hourglass of Time, the Pine Leaf Mouse broke through from Core Formation to Early Nascent Soul Stage.

At the same time, the upgraded Everlasting Emperor’s Longevity Art was cultivated to perfection by the Pine Leaf Mouse with ease.

The perfected form of the Everlasting Emperor’s Longevity Art represented not just an increase of thousands of years in lifespan, but also signified the transformation into a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor-level grass-elemental spirit.

Under normal circumstances, achieving perfection in this technique was nearly impossible—it would usually take a thousand years of effort.

But Lin Jing’s side had an overwhelming surplus of wood-element treasures. With no restrictions on absorption, the Pine Leaf Mouse’s cultivation rose like drinking water.

“It’s said that the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor’s disciple is a sentient willow tree at Early Nascent Soul. I wonder, with the Pine Leaf Mouse’s current strength, how evenly matched they’d be?”

Lin Jing noted the Pine Leaf Mouse’s condition and started guessing.

The Everlasting Emperor’s Longevity Art was extremely effective against plant spirits. After all, it was a hidden ace of Mo Pine, the "traitor" among plant life.

Even if the Pine Leaf Mouse’s realm was one full stage lower, with the technique's countering properties and its absurdly powerful Monster Core Divine Abilities, it might still hold its own.

Though training the technique had consumed nearly half of its wood-element resources,

The Pine Leaf Mouse’s Monster Core Space still held a vast store of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth treasures.

Wood-elemental items were more abundant than the others. Even after spending half, the Five-Element World inside it remained balanced and powerful.

“Won’t be long now before I drop back to Core Formation.”

While the Pine Leaf Mouse stabilized its breakthrough, Lin Jing was calculating the remaining duration of his Heavenly Demon Physique.

When he fought the Martial Emperor’s successor, he didn’t burn too much lifespan and had no intention of staying at Nascent Soul Transformation for ten years straight. He had limited it to just six months.

His foundation was too low. Maintaining Nascent Soul Transformation for years would be painfully costly.

Now, once his realm fell back to Core Formation, he could use the Dragon Carp’s Cultivation Core Pills to ascend to Nascent Soul.

Then, by using the Heavenly Demon Physique again to return to Nascent Soul Transformation, the toll would be much lighter.

That was also why he had hurried back to his own territory—before the drop happened.

By the time he headed to the Origin Realm, he could combine this with the Poseidon Palace’s lifespan-recovery resources.

All in all, he would lose very little lifespan but gain enormous returns.

“.....”

While Guardian Mouse was stabilizing its realm, and Lin Jing was waiting for the Heavenly Demon Physique to expire,

Over on the Green Emperor Gu’s side, it had finally finished devouring all the remaining Rare Gu origins.

The Gu’s core provided it with a modest amount of nourishment. There was no need for extra Cultivation Core Pills.

By the time it woke up, accompanied by immense pressure, its cultivation was also at Early Nascent Soul Stage.

It was unclear whether this was the limit after devouring multiple Rare Gu, or just a restriction based on its Beast Tamer’s realm—Ice Soul.

“With this, Pine Leaf Mouse, Ice Soul Gu, Dragon Carp, and Mechanical Turtle—all four Contract Beasts have reached Nascent Soul Stage....”

Lin Jing was quite pleased. Now only he was left. Once he broke through—everyone would be at Nascent Soul.

“How are you feeling?” Lin Jing dragged the just-awakened Ice Soul Gu out of the Hourglass of Time.

Still a bit dazed, Ice Soul Gu shook her head and mumbled, “So full... so bloated... kinda wanna throw up...”

“That so? I was thinking of stopping by Tongtian Tower to fetch the Wood Gu for you to devour too.”

“Squeee!!” Ice Soul Gu backed up a step in panic. “Can’t eat anymore—not even one more!” freёnovelkiss.com

Lin Jing laughed. “Weren’t you the one so ambitious about swallowing all the Rare Gu and replacing the Gu God?”

“Oh right—this bottle of Gu God’s blood, drink it when you get a chance. Her Majesty the Demon Emperor personally collected and purified it for you.”

“Once you drink it, you’ll be one step closer to the Gu God.”

Hearing that, Ice Soul Gu’s legs turned to jelly. She admitted—yeah, she might’ve been showing off a little before.

She had lived this long but never thought she’d be scared just from having too many treasures to digest.

She didn’t know what kind of lives the other Rare Gu lived with their Gu Masters, but her days… might be a little too good.

“I’d better go stabilize my power first before drinking anything else,” Ice Soul Gu muttered fearfully.

“Fair.” Lin Jing nodded. “While you’re at it, produce more sub-Gu from the Yin Spirit Gu.”

“My External Incarnation needs to devour Heart Demons to cultivate Heavenly Demon Finger, but powerful Heart Demon cultivators aren’t easy to find.”

“So, we’ll manually create Heart Demons in others using the Yin Spirit Gu, then devour and ‘heal’ them. Genius, right?”

Lin Jing poked Ice Soul Gu’s belly. That was the perk of devouring multiple Rare Gu—so many new functions.

Hearing her Beast Tamer's latest wicked idea, Ice Soul Gu nodded and showed an evil grin. So twisted—but she liked it...

Meanwhile—

Lin Jing’s External Incarnation had returned with the First Ancient Emperor to the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

Besides Lin Jing and the First Emperor, Gao Sheng, now favored by the Emperor, originally wanted to go demon-slaying with Cold Moon Sword Immortal.

But instead, he was forcibly drafted into the Emperor’s undercover inspection team…

“Guide me well. Do it right, and I’ll take you as my disciple.”

Gao Sheng, stunned by the Emperor’s promise, wasn’t sure if he was dreaming.

Meanwhile, Lin Jing’s Incarnation had already learned Heavenly Demon Canon, Heavenly Demon Finger, and Heavenly Demon Crossing from the First Ancient Emperor.

Happy to act as a background prop, he cultivated while casually watching the drama unfold.

His main body also got those techniques from Senior Mo Pine.

After confirming both versions matched, he felt safe to begin practicing.

But right now, one issue troubled Lin Jing—

Though Senior Mo Pine had agreed to pass some of his power to the Pine Leaf Mouse, there were conditions.

“I can split half my essence for its Incarnation, but the energy drain is massive.”

“Spiritual power can’t be replenished by Celestial Beast dung or Longevity Blood. But—if you can get me a whiff of ‘Celestial Pill Aura’—just a speck of dust from the Celestial Pill Spirit in Tongtian Tower—then I’ll go all in.”

“But I heard… that Celestial Pill is skittish. Not easy to deal with.”
