Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 3 Chapter 54: Core Formation

“What kind of joke is this?”

First Holy Maiden Liu Yan was stunned, her alluring face showing a look of disbelief.

“Are you sure your intel is correct?”

The other Grand Elders of the Kirin Tribe were also in shock.

The Longevity Body of the Sky Lion Clan had been kept in captivity for a thousand years without any incident, and now you’re saying that his cultivation suddenly surged to the peak of Void Mystical Stage, wiped out most of the Sky Lion Clan, and even killed a significant number of their people?

To put this into perspective, even the five Grand Elders here had only reached the peak of Nascent Soul Transformation!

In the entire clan, only the oldest ancestor, who had been in seclusion for years, had reached the peak of Void Mystical Stage.

And now you’re telling me that a mere blood sacrifice has reached that level of cultivation?

“Third Holy Maiden, do you have any insight? After all, this Lin Jing comes from the Beast Taming Sect.”

“I don’t know.” Xu Qingyao shook her head. “I left the Beast Taming Sect when I was young and never met Lin Jing. Even the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect only met him once.”

“Shortly after, the sect was sealed, and the disciples scattered—including him.”

“That’s why I told you that you should have taken him under your wing,” Shen Xi said slowly. “One person toying with and severely damaging the Sky Lion Clan to this extent, even kidnapping the Sky Lion Holy Maiden… I’m really curious. What kind of person is he?”

“But now I understand why Lin Jing didn’t come looking for your protection after arriving in Qingzhou. If he truly is a Longevity Body, then naturally, he wouldn’t dare step into the Demon Court.”

The Kirin Elders nodded in agreement.

Exactly.

A Longevity Body… there wasn’t a single demonic beast race that wouldn’t covet it.

The Sky Lion Clan had managed to keep one in captivity, and countless demon races had envied them for it.

Luckily, the Kirin Tribe was known for their long lifespans and didn’t place too much importance on longevity. Otherwise, they would have been just as envious of the Sky Lion Clan’s fortune.

“Regardless of whether Lin Jing is willing to come to the Demon Court, Third Holy Maiden, his current situation must be dire.”

“He has already offended two major Demonic Sects, and now he’s provoked the Sky Lion Clan. That Sky Lion Holy Maiden won’t be able to protect him for long.”

“We don’t know exactly what happened to her, but I suspect she used some secret art that burns her lifespan. Only such a method could temporarily boost the cultivation of a Longevity Body to that level.”

“And such a method can’t last long. So I’m wondering… should we send a team to find these two Longevity Bodies and bring them back safely?” Grand Elder Lin Ye suggested.

“At this point, only the Demon Court can shelter them.”

There were only two Longevity Bodies in the world. Even if they had no intention of consuming them, they couldn’t allow them to fall into another faction’s hands.

“You’re right.”

Xu Qingyao took a deep breath and said, “I’ll send people to search for them. I also ask all of you Elders to mobilize the Kirin Tribe’s experts to assist in the search.”

“You should help too.” First Holy Son Liu Yan’s mind stirred, and he said, “You’ve even slept with a Longevity Body.”

“A Longevity Body, one of the hardest physiques to cultivate, yet he became the number one prodigy of the Ancient Kingdom…”

Seventh Holy Son Shen Xi looked at Xu Qingyao, for the first time realizing the true wonder of the Beast Taming Art.

Thinking about it carefully, that technique really did seem to be a perfect match for the Longevity Body.

We can’t let Xu Qingyao find Lin Jing first. We must capture him and the other Longevity Body before she does.

The First and Second Holy Maidens shared the same thought, their tea party completely forgotten.

However, just as the three Holy Maidens and the five Kirin Elders were about to take action, a wave of solemn and majestic energy suddenly spread from a certain part of the Kirin Secret Realm.

The air began to ripple with delicate spiritual energy, as if ancient memories were being gently awakened.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded—those ancient Kirin ancestors who had long slumbered in the realm began to rise from their graves under the light of dusk. Their presence sent tremors through the bloodlines of every Kirin present.

“Hm?”

The unexpected turn of events made the First and Second Holy Maidens, as well as the Kirin Elders, pause. Seeing this, First Holy Maiden Liu Yan immediately congratulated, “I wonder which prodigy of the Kirin Clan is breaking through in the ancestral land?”

“Judging by this phenomenon, someone must have gained the recognition of an ancestor.”

The five Kirin Elders remained silent.

Grand Elder Lin Ye muttered, and the two Holy Maidens were stunned.

“The one currently in the ancestral land isn’t a Kirin Tribe member. It’s the pet beast of Third Holy Maiden’s follower.”

“That little Kirin with an Imperial Bloodline… it really did gain the recognition of the ancestors. But…”

“How is this possible? This aura… it doesn’t feel like just one ancestor, but… many, many ancestors have been awakened by its breakthrough!!!”

The other elders spoke in disbelief.

They had known from Lin Ye that an outsider was undergoing a breakthrough in the ancestral land, but they never expected it to be such a monster.

Eighteen pillars of light shot into the sky.

In the Kirin Ancestral Land, countless azure lights illuminated the entire secret realm.

Not only did it attract the attention of everyone present, but it also awakened countless Kirins in closed-door cultivation.

Even the ancient monsters in the depths of the secret realm—those who had reached the Void Mystical Demon Ancestor Realm—opened their eyes in response to this disturbance.

“Rare Bloodline…”

A deep voice echoed from within the Kirin Clan’s depths.

“The Kirin Tribe… how long has it been since we’ve seen a rare bloodline?”

“Third Holy Maiden, just who is this follower of yours? And what exactly is his pet beast, for it to move our ancestors so deeply?”

Facing the five Kirin Elders’ questioning, Xu Qingyao opened her mouth slightly but didn’t know how to respond.

She really wanted to say that, actually, this person and the Lin Jing they had just been discussing were the same person.

But of course, she couldn’t say that.

“Fire Dragon Alchemist is my secret trump card. Naturally, his and his pet beast’s potential are beyond question.” Xu Qingyao said indifferently, “That’s why I wasn’t particularly interested in the Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing. Because I already have a far stronger follower.”

“And now, it seems he has lived up to my expectations.”

The other two Holy Maidens looked at Xu Qingyao, cursing her in their hearts.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that some freak from the Beast Taming Sect was connected to her, now this Fire Dragon Alchemist with a Kirin pet had appeared out of nowhere?

At the same time, Lin Jing, who had been waiting outside the cave for Senior Sister, glanced toward the Kirin Ancestral Land.

“So, he finally completed his Core Formation at this moment.”

After months of cultivation, Dragon Carp had finally condensed a demon core within the Kirin Ancestral Land using five different exotic flames—and successfully nurtured its demon core ability!

However, Lin Jing showed no joy. His expression remained silent.

Because despite Dragon Carp’s Core Formation, his own cultivation was still at mid-Foundation Establishment, with a thin line separating him from late-Foundation Establishment.

And more importantly, Dragon Carp’s demon core ability… was monstrous.

Its Demon Core Ability—Myriad Fire Cauldron could refine living beings directly into pills to enhance cultivation…
