Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 61Book 4: : Rare Gu Gathering
Vol 4 Chapter 61: Rare Gu Gathering
The Cloud Sea Mountains were now shaking continuously.
The danger level here was no less than that of the Misty Forest. Fearsome creatures such as Mosquito Beasts still inhabited the area, and only the Witch Tribe, who had lived here for generations, could barely survive in this place.
But today, even those beasts known as the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea were all crouching low in fear, staring at the sky in terror.
Among the mountains, groups of oddly dressed cultivators were all kneeling in unison, bowing in a certain direction, praying for the gods' protection. This was a local custom—whenever an incomprehensible disaster occurred, they would pray to the gods for peace and safety.
Lin Jing forcefully shattered the Gu God's secret realm and executed two Void Mystical Stage Gu cultivators by activating the Celestial Artifact Four Saints Diagram, directly turning the Cloud Sea Mountains upside down...
“You little brat, courting death.” A furious roar rang out from the void.
A monster-like elder appeared. Though humanoid, he had almost no human traits left.
Above the elder's head, white strands floated like insect antennae. His purple skin was covered in irregular white spots, and he even had a non-human spiked tail...
Boom!!!
The moment he appeared, he swept his tail across. The blood-red wind blade cut through space itself. The Vermilion Bird Ink Beast instantly spread its wings to shield Lin Jing from the strike.
At the same time, several Ink Beasts surrounded the monster.
The Gu God... the fused form of the Gu God Sect's old ancestor, looked coldly at the four Ink Beasts around him. Facing four Dao-Seeking-level Ink Beasts, he showed not the slightest worry. Instead, his icy gaze turned toward the Wind Gu and Yang Gu captured by the Azure Dragon Ink Beast and White Tiger Ink Beast.
“Useless trash...”
Seeing how the Gu God Sect declined year after year, the Gu God sighed. After the first Sect Leader died, it had helped the Gu God Sect create the Ten Rare Gu, partly to nurture powerful cultivators to serve it, and partly so that the sect could still flourish for ten thousand years even without it.
But now look what had happened.
The Rare Gu were being stolen one after another. Losing them was bad enough.
But now, someone even dared to snatch them right at their doorstep.
“You brat, do you really think you can challenge me just because of these four things?”
The Gu God glanced dismissively at the four Ink Beasts around him. It could sense their essence—though they looked strong on the surface, their roots... were still bound to the young cultivator before him.
In other words, how long these Ink Beasts could fight depended entirely on this young cultivator.
In fact, as long as it could get past these beasts and kill the young man, the fight would be over.
With that, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“If this is all you’ve got, then prepare to die....”
Just as the Gu God finished speaking, Lin Jing snorted coldly and shouted, “Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, help! The Gu God is going to kill me!!”
Then, several spatial rifts opened nearby.
A black-and-white whale, large enough to cover the sky, swam through the clouds like it ruled the heavens.
A giant green dragon with wings, resembling a massive lizard, slowly emerged from the void. As it appeared, the vegetation of the Cloud Sea Mountains reacted as if facing an emperor, offering their spiritual energy.
At the forefront, a boy wearing golden dragon robes stepped out, smiling kindly at the Gu God...
“Isn’t he the one bullying the Holy Son of the Demon Court just because he’s older?”
Gu God: ?
The Gu God bared its teeth.
The Demon Emperor pointed at it and said, “Cut the cr*p! Die for me!”
As soon as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the three Dao-Seeking Demon Emperors surged forward. Lin Jing wanted to help, but didn’t even get the chance.
All he could do in the meantime was command the Ink Beasts to keep pounding the Wind Gu and Yang Gu half to death.
The three Dao-Seeking Demon Emperors joined forces, and the Gu God was no match. Before long, it severed one of its own arms and fled its lair.
Seeing this, the Yin-Yang Whale Emperor and Forest Sea Dragon Emperor shook their heads and gave chase.
As for the Demon Emperor, she floated in mid-air, letting out a deep breath before turning to Lin Jing.
“See? The Yin-Yang Whale Emperor and Forest Sea Dragon Emperor are quite sincere. To make up for their bad judgment, they even helped us wipe out the Gu God Sect!”
Lin Jing hesitated to speak, wanting badly to say: Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, do you really take me for a fool?
But he was tactful and replied, “It’s mainly thanks to Your Majesty’s overwhelming demon might. If not for your swift recovery and breakthrough, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable...”
The Demon Emperor nodded, “Makes sense. Earlier, the previous Gu God Sect ancestor was already killed by us. With the Gu God losing its vessel, its combat power has dropped greatly. But the Gu God itself... isn’t that easy to kill.”
“You possess the Ten Rare Gu—you should know... even the Ten Rare Gu under the Gu God have the ability to not die and be reborn. The Gu God that granted them such powers is an even more unfathomable existence.”
“Next, the heavily injured Gu God will likely reincarnate and cultivate a new vessel to slowly regain its strength. Though it’s hard to kill it completely, this does mean it’ll be in a long period of weakness... The best outcome is to find and erase it over and over during its weak phases,” the Demon Emperor said, stroking her chin.
“In any case, you don’t need to worry about that. Just take your Wind Gu and Yang Gu and go home in peace.”
Lin Jing gave a bitter smile and nodded. Now that the Ice Soul Gu would awaken, it’d probably feel like celebrating the New Year.
Right now, it was still digesting the Golden Light Gu.
And while that happened, Lin Jing had also obtained the Stone Man Gu, Yin Spirit Gu, Wind Plague Gu, and Yang Origin Gu one after another...
Among them, the Wind Plague Gu, Yin Spirit Gu, and Yang Origin Gu each had incredibly powerful effects. If the Ice Soul Gu could also devour them in turn, his strength would see a huge leap.
Wind Plague Gu: its poison is colorless and odorless, airborne, and anyone it touches becomes a toxic puppet controlled by it.
Yin Spirit Gu: its poison is the poison of inner demons. Anyone who meets the gaze of its host will be plagued by heart demons, eventually enslaved in spirit.
Yang Origin Gu: can kill through bloodline. To poison a Void Mystical Stage ancestor, you only need to capture one of his descendants—no need for a direct fight at all.
Besides their poisons, once fused with a Gu cultivator, the three Rare Gu also bring various benefits.
Wind Plague Gu grants top-tier wind control, comparable to having the Wind Spirit Physique.
Yin Spirit Gu enhances the Nascent Soul to the extreme, greatly boosting mental and soul power.
Yang Origin Gu is the most unique—it strengthens the vessel’s bloodline and reproductive capacity, allowing its host to bear many offspring with inherited talents. Upon birth, each child is automatically implanted with a Sub-Gu, ensuring lifelong loyalty and preventing any betrayal...
