Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 4 Chapter 81: The Immortal Demon Serpent

In the end, Lin Jing successfully obtained a wisp of Pill Dust and the Ten Thousand Poison Gu from Tongtian Tower—much more smoothly than he had expected.

However, he also had to bear the karmic burden of retrieving several wisps of Celestial Energy for Tongtian Tower in return...

"If the situation in the Origin Realm is truly as recorded in ancient texts, it shouldn’t be too difficult for me..."

Ten Thousand Poison Gu—among all Rare Gu—is the most venomous and complex. It’s the only poison among the Ten Rare Gu capable of threatening even cultivators in the Dao-Seeking Stage.

Of course, it could only pose a threat—it couldn’t actually inflict fatal harm on such cultivators.

Still, once it’s consumed by the Ice Soul Gu, its own toxicity would certainly be greatly enhanced.

As for the Pill Dust, this was the crucial item in Lin Jing’s quest—a life-saving miracle medicine.

Even if one was gravely wounded, left with half a Nascent Soul, body destroyed, and soul fractured, it was said that the aura of a Celestial Pill could instantly restore them to peak condition.

“No rush to head back just yet.”

“Senior Divine Pine is still busy planting trees, and the Pine Leaf Mouse is still consolidating its realm. A realm elevated through pills and treasures always requires extra time to stabilize.”

Lin Jing looked toward the edge of Qingzhou.

Now, even Void Mystical Stage cultivators were wary of Lin Jing.

Mostly because Lin Jing had once shown the ability to activate a Celestial Artifact.

However, he had now lost that ability. Neither the Celestial Sword nor the Four Saints Diagram belonged to him.

Even the generous Demon Emperor hadn’t planned to gift the Demon Court’s sole Celestial Artifact to Lin Jing—he only had temporary usage rights under special circumstances.

Furthermore, the Artifact Ghost had been sealed from Void Mystical Stage down to Nascent Soul, making it unable to activate the artifact.

Thus, Lin Jing urgently needed to reinforce his trump cards.

On the path of cultivation, regardless of one’s situation, it’s always best to have several hidden killing moves prepared for the unexpected.

“Back when the Demon Emperor helped me annihilate the Yin Corpse Sect, I obtained a Celestial Beast corpse from them.”

“If I can control that Celestial Beast corpse, it would be no different from wielding a Celestial Artifact. Even if it’s slightly inferior, it wouldn’t be by much.”

“To do that, I’ll need to use the Yin Corpse Sect’s Corpse Manipulation Secret Art. I already have the method, just haven’t learned it yet. I can use Insight Fish Soup to practice it later.”

“In addition, I need both extreme vitality and death energy. My Longevity Physique is the source of vitality. That leaves only death energy to refine.”

“The only source of death energy that can rival my Longevity Physique... is the rare beast suppressed beneath the Beast Taming Sect, one that possesses the Immortality Divine Ability—the Immortal Demon Serpent!”

“When we first met, I was just in the Qi Refinement Stage. It’s been decades. I wonder what condition it’s in now. With my current strength, maybe I can try to refine it!!”

Lin Jing’s eyes lit up—he had found his next destination: the new mountain gate of the Beast Taming Sect!

Currently, the Immortal Demon Serpent remained sealed beneath the Beast Taming Sect, as per a deal between the Demon Court and the Ancient Kingdom.

Qingzhou, Beast Taming Sect.

Lin Jing returned to the sect unnoticed. He went straight into the depths of the sect’s spiritual veins, reaching the underground space connected to the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

He stepped into the underground pool. The Immortal Demon Serpent stirred—its eyes sweeping left and right.

Before, when the seal was reinforced, it sensed that Lin Jing was still sealed and never regained consciousness...

“Break.”

With a soft word, Lin Jing easily unraveled the seal on the Immortal Demon Serpent.

Back at the Spirit Dao Sect, he had deeply studied sealing techniques while researching how to seal the Void Mystical Artifact Ghost.

Though not yet at the level of creating Spell Spirit Origins, unraveling the old seal left by the White-Robed Monk wasn’t difficult at all.

Drip...

As Lin Jing began unlocking the seal, a deathly aura surged up from the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

With a maniacal laugh, golden chains shot out from the dark pool.

A massive serpent bound in golden chains rose up, its savage gaze scanning everything around it.

“Finally! I’ve waited so long for this seal to decay!!!”

“It didn’t decay—I released you.”

The serpent froze mid-laugh and looked down at the small figure—Lin Jing. Its eyes flared with fury.

“It’s you!!!”

In an instant, the Immortal Demon Serpent remembered—it was this very Beast Taming Sect disciple who once used Illusion Techniques to mess with it, forcing it into humiliating submission.

“You’ve actually reached Early Nascent Soul Transformation Stage?!”

It was stunned.

How long had it been?

Even sealed, its body could still sense the passage of time.

Not even a hundred years had passed, and the Qi Refinement brat from back then was now in Nascent Soul...

For reference, the serpent itself was only at the Peak Nascent Soul Stage.

“So what if you've reached Nascent Soul? I’m going to kill you today! I’ve been starving for ages—you’ll make a fine meal!”

The Immortal Demon Serpent’s eyes radiated killing intent. As a rare beast with the Immortality Divine Ability, it didn’t care about its opponent’s cultivation level.

Its only fear was being sealed again.

Being imprisoned for thousands—or even tens of thousands—of years was its greatest nightmare.

If the enemy only knew how to fight, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t scare it!

“Still groggy from sleep?” Lin Jing said coolly, stretching out his hand.

A Buddha-Demon Pearl appeared.

“If I could easily undo your seal, that means I’ve mastered powerful sealing arts. Sealing you again would be effortless.”

The serpent paused. “...Oh, right.”

The next moment, Lin Jing activated the Buddha-Demon Pearl.

The weakened Immortal Demon Serpent was instantly sucked in, transforming into a small clay serpent as it got pulled into a swirling vortex of Buddhist light.

Enraged, it screamed, “You brat! Just wait! Even if you seal me, I won’t submit! I’m an Immortal Rare Beast, with an Undying Body!

Even your Longevity Physique can’t outlast me! One day I’ll break this seal and destroy your whole damn fam—”

Before it could finish, its expression changed drastically.

It felt a terrifying force erasing its consciousness, forcibly drawing out its Death Essence to be absorbed by the Buddha-Demon Pearl.

“Divine Control Technique.”

Lin Jing burned his own lifespan and activated the Divine Control Technique, manipulating the Immortal Demon Serpent sealed inside the pearl.

He had never expected cooperation. His true goal was to refine it entirely using his cross-stage Beast Taming ability.

“No need for your cooperation. I prefer brute force.”

The Holy Son spoke calmly.

In the next instant, the Immortal Demon Serpent was completely terrified.

This was the first time in its life it had encountered someone with Void Mystical-level Beast Taming power.

This terrifying force felt even more soul-crushing than sealing techniques.

It couldn’t understand—how had that human brat become so terrifying in such a short time?!

“Ay... Grandpa, Grandpa, I was just joking! Spare my little life! I’ll do whatever you say! I’ll be your pet! I’ll be your dog! I’ll serve you till the end!

Please, please stop! Abusing a rare beast like this—are you even a real Beast Tamer?!”
