Vol 2 Chapter 70: The Third Extreme Beast The Myriad Beast Sect disciple Qingyu studied the description on the Genius Rankings and remarked, "Deputy Sect Master, reaching the peak of Qi Refinement and being able to fight at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment is monstrous, no doubt. But at the end of the day, Qi Refinement is still just Qi Refinement. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Sure, his contracted beasts might have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but..." She paused and then continued with confidence. "Alone, I might not be his match. But if the challenge allows participants below Core Formation and imposes no rules, as stated in this invitation, then with my perfected Foundation Establishment cultivation and the beast army nurtured in my Myriad Beast Circle, he’s no match for me." "The Myriad Beast Sect has always prided itself on one disciple being equivalent to an army. Even a pseudo-core cultivator would hesitate to face a Foundation Establishment disciple leading a beast tide. No matter how strong he is, it’s impossible for him to take on a Core Formation cultivator while still in Qi Refinement." "But," Qingyu added, "our combat style may not be easily accepted here in the Ancient Kingdom. They might consider it 'unfair.'" The other disciple, Whitebird, nodded in agreement. "I’ve studied the Beast Taming Sect’s combat techniques. Compared to the Myriad Beast Sect’s war tactics, they’re much less threatening." The Nascent Soul elder nodded thoughtfully. "You two are among the Myriad Beast Sect’s top five true disciples. Naturally, I trust your strength. But this Beast Taming Sect truly is an enigma." "How could a sect with a Nascent Soul early-stage master as its leader, supported by a few demonic Nascent Soul elders, produce such a little monster?" "Our sect leader is at the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, yet the young master he nurtured never broke through the peak of Qi Refinement." "Opportunities from places like Cavern Heaven are truly unpredictable," the elder mused, shaking his head as he resumed flying. "In any case, persuading the Beast Taming Sect amicably seems unlikely now. "The only way to sway their strong members is to convince them that the Myriad Beast Sect offers a better future than this so-called Holy Son. "Better yet, we could make their Holy Son aspire to join us." The elder’s eyes gleamed. Defeating Lin Jing with Myriad Beast Sect techniques and offering him the promise of becoming a disciple under their Nascent Soul Transformation leader in Qingzhou might make him reconsider his loyalties. "In the coming days, I’ll train you two further," the elder added. The Deputy Sect Master, a perfected Nascent Soul cultivator, looked down on the Beast Taming Sect. Since its second-generation master, the sect had followed a path of sentimentality and bonds with beasts, which he believed fundamentally clashed with the principles of true beast mastery. He was confident that once Lin Jing witnessed the superior methods of the Myriad Beast Sect, he would understand that it was far more suited to him than the Beast Taming Sect. A few days later, a disciple returning from an encounter with the Myriad Beast Sect reported the incident to Elder Yu in Hundred Flower Valley. Elder Yu was astonished and immediately informed the various demonic ancestors. "The Myriad Beast Sect? What are those folks doing in the Great Wasteland?" "Trying to poach members, probably! I’ve had people approach me recently, hoping I’d join their sects as a guest elder or a guardian beast after leaving the Beast Taming Sect. Fools! They underestimate my loyalty. I’ve spent more time in this sect than they’ve spent eating meals!" The demonic ancestors speculated that the Myriad Beast Sect’s presence boded ill, especially with the Holy Son Inauguration Ceremony approaching. "Inform the Holy Son about this. He needs to be prepared," one ancestor instructed, though it seemed more like a directive for Senior Pine than Lin Jing. Elder Yu rushed to Lin Jing’s cave dwelling but found it enveloped in a dense protective formation. "Hmm?" Elder Yu was impressed. Despite returning only briefly, Lin Jing was already hard at work cultivating. Such dedication, combined with his Longevity Physique, was the reason for his rapid progress. "But why is it so hot?" Elder Yu murmured, sensing the oppressive heat radiating even through the formation. "Could it be that Flame Dragon Carp?" Deciding to wait outside, Elder Yu guessed that the dragon carp might be attempting Foundation Establishment. Inside, however, Lin Jing wasn’t helping the dragon carp break through Foundation Establishment but pushing it toward the peak of Qi Refinement. After ten days of effort, the carp was finally touching the threshold of the so-called "Extreme Stage of Qi Refinement." Two days later, the formation around Lin Jing’s cave dissipated. When he emerged with the dragon carp, Elder Yu approached immediately. Expecting a “transformed” dragon carp, Elder Yu was puzzled to find it looking the same as before. "Wasn’t it breaking through?" he asked. Lin Jing nodded. "It was, but not to Foundation Establishment." Elder Yu fell silent. Another Extreme Stage Qi Refinement beast? An uncontracted dragon carp, yet Lin Jing had nurtured it to the Extreme Stage of Qi Refinement? Looking at the carp, Elder Yu felt a pang of worry. If certain powerful individuals discovered such a rare creature, it might be treated like a precious treasure and seized. "Keep a close eye on it," Elder Yu advised. "Especially now... the Myriad Beast Sect is here in Qingzhou." Lin Jing frowned upon hearing this. He was well aware of the Myriad Beast Sect’s capabilities, having used their Myriad Beast Circle before. The sect’s reputation for overwhelming force made them formidable. "The ancestors believe the Holy Son Inauguration Ceremony won’t be peaceful. Stay on guard," Elder Yu warned. "I will, Elder Yu," Lin Jing replied. "I’ve been preparing carefully. I certainly won’t let myself become someone else’s stepping stone during the ceremony." Lin Jing’s confidence was evident. Despite his current spot on the Genius Rankings, he understood that the list was age-restricted. Many stronger cultivators over thirty were not listed but remained a significant threat. And now, with the sudden appearance of the Myriad Beast Sect, things were even more complicated. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my seclusion," Lin Jing said with a respectful bow. "I still need to prepare a mechanized suit as a precaution. Elder Yu, I hope you’ll evaluate it when it’s complete." "A... what?" Elder Yu asked, baffled. "A mechanized power armor," Lin Jing replied nonchalantly.
