Immortal through Beast Taming

Chapter 67: Turmoil in the Wilderness


Due to Lin Jing joining the Beast Taming Sect for such a short period of time, and not moving around the Great Wilderness as a Beast Taming Sect disciple after joining, before the Tianjiao Ranking was announced, no one in the Great Wilderness knew of a person named Lin Jing in the Beast Taming Sect.

This is why many people believed that the Celestial Secret Tower made a mistake when they saw the Tianjiao Ranking list.

Now, Lin Jing's name carries infinite potential and prestige, and naturally, the several Demon King Ancestors cannot allow Lin Jing to remain an unknown "Inner Sect Disciple."

If word spreads, it would seem like the Beast Taming Sect does not value talent.

The Inner Sect Disciple level, in the end, is not considered the core of a sect.

Even at the True Disciple level, it still falls short of significance.

Only if someone is identified as the candidate for the next Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect, the Saint Heir, can it truly bind Lin Jing to the Beast Taming Sect completely.

When the future heir of a sect shows potential for Divinity Transformation, it undoubtedly means that the sect's fortune will flourish greatly.

At the same time, this is sending a signal.

"To enhance the sect's fortune, besides increasing the strength of the Beast Taming Sect's internal disciples, there is actually another path."

"And that is having powerful cultivators, or exceptionally talented geniuses, join the Beast Taming Sect!"

"If several human Nascent Souls join the Beast Taming Sect, then the fortune of the people and the demons of the Beast Taming Sect would balance out significantly."

"However, this was almost impossible in the past, as even a Loose Cultivator who can reach the Nascent Soul Stage is a formidable figure. Not to mention their love for freedom, even if they intend to join a sect, they would inevitably choose those super sects, rather than a sect that is closed off and lacks even a Spirit Vein."

"Yet, if these Loose Cultivators could see the potential of the Beast Taming Sect... things would be different."

"A sect that could produce a 'Divinity Transformation' in the future is extremely rare in the Great Wilderness, and you, as the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect, are sending the message that with you there, the Beast Taming Sect is bound to rise in the future."

"In this way, in the current downturn of the Beast Taming Sect, unless other sects are determined to be enemies with the Beast Taming Sect, they certainly will not kick someone when they're down. Moreover, some 'cultivation families' might continuously supply high-quality Immortal seedlings to the Beast Taming Sect as an investment, and even some high-cultivation-stage cultivators might be willing to become Honored Guest Elders, betting on the future rise of the Beast Taming Sect."

"So, you understand why the Demon King Ancestors want you to become the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect now, don't you?"

After Elder Mo's explanation, Lin Jing nodded and said, "I do know all of this... it's just that I really have no interest in the position of Sect Leader."

Senior Brother Ouyang... seems to always be thinking about the position of Sect Leader.

"Oh well, Saint Heir it is then, after all, becoming the Saint Heir doesn't necessarily mean I have to become the Sect Leader." Lin Jing thought about how the closure of the Beast Taming Sect was slightly his responsibility, and now he had also taken half of the Undying Demon's treasures, so he might as well accept the title of Saint Heir.

However, there was one thing Lin Jing was quite worried about.

Appearing directly like this, wouldn't it be too high-profile?

The Demon King Ancestors and elders probably still don't know that he'd been assassinated by the Demon Emperor in Hidden Dragon City, right?

If they knew, would they still dare to hold the ceremony and let him appear publicly?

"Senior?" He wanted to inquire about Elder Shen Song's opinion.

"Don't worry, I'm here, and with you being so audacious to show up, those who want to hunt you will be even more reluctant to act rashly," Elder Shen Song transmitted indifferently.

Lin Jing's mouth twitched, feeling unreliable.

...

At this time, the matter of Lin Jing's entry on the Tianjiao Ranking was known only to a small number of cultivators who had bought the World Gazette at the first instance. As for the Beast Taming Sect disciples, since the sect had almost disappeared, almost no one bothered to spend a few Spirit Stones to understand the world's affairs, and they all honestly focused on cultivating earnestly.

Those like He Yiming, Qin Cai Xin, and Senior Brother Ziran, who initially stumbled into the Grotto Heaven with Lin Jing as Outer Sect Disciples, were all quietly in seclusion, enhancing their cultivation.

With the sect gone, there were rarely special sect activities in the Beast Taming Sect, and communications among disciples also decreased significantly. However, on this day, what puzzled many disciples was receiving a summoning order from the sect.

At the plaza of the Beast Taming Peak, a large number of Beast Taming Sect disciples arrived, each wearing expressions of confusion.

"The True Disciples came too???" He Yiming and others were surprised to find that even those True Disciples, who usually remained mysterious, were now descending one after another on the plaza, being summoned together.

"What's happening?" Not only ordinary disciples, but even most of the True Disciples were confused, except for the Armor Body True Disciple, who was silently gazing at the sky.

"Something big is about to happen." The Armor Body True Disciple slowly spoke, causing other True Disciples to be puzzled collectively.

"Given our current state, what big event could happen?"

As the words fell, one sect elder after another also appeared in the plaza, virtually all members of the Beast Taming Sect located in Hundred Flower Valley descended, which further gave everyone an ominous premonition.

The next moment, Elder Mo and Elder Yu appeared in the sky, looking down at the many disciples and a group of old friends.

Seeing that the gathering was almost sufficient, Elder Mo spoke, "Today, the new issue of the Tianjiao Ranking is released."

"Our Beast Taming Sect has a disciple on the list!"

"What?!" As soon as Elder Mo's words fell, the disciples exclaimed, and the elders also showed expressions of surprise.

"Which True Disciple made it?" The Nine Dragon Peak elder was astonished and said, "Could it be Zhang Armor??"

He looked towards the Armor Body True Disciple, because this young fellow was chosen by the highest-ranking Heaven-Dominating Ancestor for cultivation, with no small fortune.

"No, no, no." The Armor Body True Disciple quickly waved his hand, not daring to claim credit.

Elder Mo observed everyone's expressions and slowly said, "Tianjiao Ranking, number thirty-two.

Cultivation, eleventh level of Qi Cultivation.

Reason for being on the list, entered Immortal Palace Grotto Heaven twice, and with Pet Beast, broke through the extreme limits of Qi Cultivation, subdued and recruited the Ten Fiends of the Cloud Sea, defeated those ranked ninety-eight and sixty-six on the Tianjiao Ranking... The one listed is our former Inner Sect Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell silent, He Yiming, Qin Cai Xin, Senior Brother Ziran, and other disciples who were once Outer Sect with Lin Jing, showed expressions of disbelief, but when they realized, they felt that perhaps only Lin Jing had this capability.

"Lin Jing, that first place in the Outer Sect Rising Dragon Festival event years ago? He actually..." Most disciples were still unfamiliar with the name Lin Jing.

Without giving the disciples time to recall, Elder Mo continued, "Following the decree of the sect ancestors, Lin Jing is conferred as the Saint Heir of our Beast Taming Sect, and in one month's time, a 'Conferment Ceremony' will be held at the location of the original Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate!!"

"Next, each person is to proceed to Elder Yu's location to receive an invitation, and with the greatest promptness, deliver the invitation to the specified sects, families, and the Loose Cultivator Immortal City!"
