Vol 3 Chapter 61: The Dragon Carp Returns Seeing the Dragon Turtle’s shell shattered in just a few strikes, the First Holy Maiden couldn’t accept it. Just who was this one man and one monkey that Xu Qingyao had brought in? E'Gu was, after all, a recognized demonic prodigy by the Demon Ancestors... "Oh hohohoho…" While the First and Second Holy Maidens were in shock, only Xu Qingyao burst into laughter, completely abandoning any semblance of a Holy Maiden’s dignity. Then, she spoke lightly, "Let's take it one at a time." She wanted to savor the expressions of helplessness on the First and Second Holy Maidens’ faces a little longer. However, after witnessing the strength of the Great Sage, even the Second Holy Maiden’s strongest follower—an Iron-Eating Beast that had once fought evenly with the Dragon Turtle—had lost all confidence. "I hate monkeys," it muttered to itself. Unfortunately, the duel had to continue. But against the monster Lin Jing had summoned, not a single one of them—man or beast—could withstand even one strike. And if someone managed to take one strike, then they’d fall by the second… or the third. "Cough..." With a final, deafening blow, the Iron-Eating Beast’s armor was completely shattered, and its entire body was sent flying. The rest of the challengers were left in complete terror. As for the Sparrowfeather Squad, the silence was absolute. "This is indeed the pressure of an Ancestral Bloodline." The Black Kirin Clan Leader took another deep look at Lin Jing, trying to uncover the truth. But unfortunately, even with his Void Mystical Early Stage cultivation, he couldn’t see through anything. Lin Jing’s Great Sage illusion was stronger than an actual Zhuyan Demon Ancestor not just because he had spent immense mana to conjure an illusionary body adorned with power-enhancing magical treasures, but also because he used Layered Illusions to forge the Great Sage’s Illusionary Mind. Within the Little Sage’s body, he had layered multiple illusion realms— The first layer imprinted the grandeur of wreaking havoc in the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Court, aligning perfectly with the Zhuyan’s natural warlike instincts, allowing for a flawless fusion between beast and illusion. The seventh layer projected his Beast Taming Physique's full oppressive aura, an illusion that, when gazed upon, would paralyze the enemy with sheer presence alone. He didn’t even need to cause real damage—so long as their mental state wavered for even a moment, preventing them from smoothly using their Demonic Core Divine Abilities, the battle was as good as over. This illusion beast, crafted using Spell Spirit Origin, Layered Illusion Technique, Spirit-Piercing Method, and Inverse Void Art, was without a doubt the pinnacle of illusion techniques in the present era. "I once thought I was simply unlucky to encounter a Kirin cub with rare blood…" "But now, I see… "It was because I was too weak—that’s why the rare-blooded Kirin was willing to follow me!" The Kirin Clan Leader was in awe. Even Xu Qingyao, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, had never possessed a pet beast with an Ancestral Bloodline.

At this moment, before the Little Sage’s overwhelming might, not a single fighter from the First and Seventh Holy Sons’ factions dared to step forward. Both Holy Sons were helpless and powerless. "That damn Xu Qingyao... what kind of absurd luck did she stumble into?" "Tch, losing a tea gathering duel is nothing." "Fine. Let’s just end it here." With that, the Kirin Clan Leader officially announced the start of the next phase of the event—though it was already clear that the match was completely one-sided. But just as he spoke, a tremor rippled through the ancestral lands of the Kirin Clan. "ROOOOAAAR!!" At the same time, a mighty Kirin charged forward. Even though Lin Jing had been experiencing bloodline suppression this entire time, he could still faintly sense what was happening outside. He had never truly cared about winning or losing in the Kirin Clan’s gathering. What mattered to him most was whether or not his Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu were safe. The only regret he had was that he couldn't fight alongside Lu Jian. When that moment came, his junior sister would surely reward him handsomely for his glorious performance. Unfortunately, up until the tea gathering began, the Dragon Carp had yet to complete its bloodline enhancement. The Dragon Carp was anxious beyond words. With impatience fueling its potential, it began absorbing blessings at an even faster rate—and at the very last moment, on the day of the tea gathering, it finally completed its bloodline refinement. BOOM! It slammed down beside Lin Jing. First, it glanced at the monkey. Then, it glanced at Lin Jing. Finally… Its eyes locked onto the First and Second Holy Maidens' followers. "It’s already over." Lin Jing patted its head. "Look at you, getting all worked up. You didn’t miss any blessings, did you?" "Roar???" The Dragon Carp blinked in confusion. "Over? Already?" "Yeah. It's over." Lin Jing turned to look at the First and Second Holy Maidens. They both took a deep breath. A Beast Tamer who wasn’t even in his peak condition had single-handedly crushed their entire faction with just one pet beast. This Fire Dragon Alchemist—just what kind of monster was he? If he was allowed to reach Nascent Soul or even Soul Transformation Stage… Then defeating Xu Qingyao would become impossible. "But you arrived just in time." Lin Jing dismissed the Great Sage illusion, then recalled the Dragon Carp. The moment the Dragon Carp entered the Meditation Staff’s spatial realm, it immediately heard Lin Jing’s voice— "That battle drained too much energy… I barely have any mana left. Transfer all of yours to me." Dragon Carp: ??? Meanwhile, outside, the Kirin Clan Leader congratulated Lin Jing for his ultimate victory. It was also a congratulation for his pet beast successfully receiving the blessings of the Kirin Ancestors. Three divine treasures floated toward Xu Qingyao. Of course, she didn’t keep them for herself—this was all Lin Jing’s achievement. As soon as he returned to her side, she handed them to him without hesitation. "They're yours," she said with a smile. "There will be even more rewards when we return." "Thank you, Senior Sister!" Lin Jing grinned happily as he collected the three treasures. The Exotic Flame was perfect for the Dragon Carp—now that it had entered the Demonic Core Stage, its body could withstand even greater destructive forces. As for the Bone Ring, he decided to keep it as a life-saving tool. Even though a Soul Transformation Stage Demon Emperor's Bone Kirin wouldn’t be able to withstand too many powerful enemies, it was still a useful trump card. But the most unexpected and precious treasure was the Thousand-Year Longevity Fruit. Could it be used to extend the remaining ten years of life that Gu Qianqiu had left? The fruit was extremely potent—with Gu Qianqiu’s frail body, she might not even be able to handle it. If she couldn’t take it, then he’d either eat it himself or give it to Pine Leaf Mouse. If he ate it, he wouldn’t receive the Longevity Body’s benefits, but an extra thousand years of life was still valuable—something he could burn through later without regret, since it was essentially free. If he gave it to Pine Leaf Mouse, it could sacrifice five hundred years to create an even stronger Wood Clone—one that could stir up even more trouble in his place. "The entertainment is over. Now, let’s move on to the real matter at hand." The Kirin Clan Leader turned to the three Holy Maidens. "Over the past ten years, how has the Demon Race Revival Plan progressed?"
