Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 6Book 4: : Demon-Slaying Temple

Vol 4 Chapter 6: Demon-Slaying Temple

"That’s… an Ancient Thunder Dragon!"

The many monks of the Demon-Slaying Temple also saw the scene outside the city through their divine sense.

They couldn’t help but be shocked—someone was actually using nine Ancient Thunder Dragons to pull a carriage? Who could this person be?

And as Lin Jing announced his name, their expressions changed again.

As expected!

They didn’t pay much attention to the title of Holy Son of the Beast Taming Sect, but the name Lin Jing was not unfamiliar to these monks present.

Demon Court, Holy Son!

The monks of the Demon-Slaying Temple were instantly on guard, unable to understand why the Holy Son of the Demon Court would appear in this place.

Lin Jing’s name—forget Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul Transformation stage monks—even Void Mystical cultivators would probably give way upon hearing it.

Though they were all second-generation prodigies, there were levels to that. Some prodigies from Dao-Seeking forces might be highly regarded, but that didn’t mean the true experts of those forces would make a move on their behalf. Many Dao-Seeking powerhouses didn’t bother with worldly matters.

But Lin Jing was different. He was the hope of the Demon Court’s revival. The Demon Emperor was willing to personally act to wipe out Lin Jing’s enemies, which already showed his status. Probably only the Ancient Imperial Princes and a select few other second-generation heirs could rival Lin Jing in status.

"Beast Taming Sect..." At this moment, the white-robed old monk was also stunned for a second, but then he spoke to calm the crowd.

"No need to worry. Holy Son Lin has come with no ill intentions."

"You all stay here."

The white-robed old monk looked toward the outside of the city, and in the next instant, appeared atop the clouds beyond the city wall. His form transformed from that of an old monk into a white-robed young monk.

He had heard the subtext in Lin Jing’s words. Lin Jing had not come representing the Demon Court Holy Son, but as someone of the Beast Taming Sect.

Very few people knew that the abbot of the Demon-Slaying Temple had, during his travels in the Ancient Celestial Kingdom, developed a friendship with the second-generation sect master of the Beast Taming Sect.

This time, Lin Jing could be considered a junior of an old friend coming to visit.

Besides that, the white-robed monk also recognized the connection between Lin Jing and himself.

This Holy Son of both the Demon Court and Beast Taming Sect—his Buddhist cultivation talent had been awakened through the monk’s own Buddhist Light!

"Senior, we 'meet' again." Lin Jing looked at the young monk. The monk’s image was identical to the one seen in the suppressed illusion within the Beast Taming Sect’s Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

"Holy Son..." The young monk smiled and said, "I’m surprised too. That strand of consciousness I left behind and the opportunity it carried… ended up with the Holy Son of the Demon Court."

Lin Jing smiled faintly and said, "I have to thank you for the baptism of Buddhist Light. It helped me a lot. As for the Demon Court—well, that came later."

"That’s why I’ve come to the Western Desert this time, specifically to visit and thank you."

The young monk said, "No need to be so formal. My Buddhist Light only helped awaken a Buddhist cultivation talent. But for you to grow this far—it certainly wasn’t because of my light alone. It’s all your own ability…"

"This isn’t the right place to talk. Would you be willing to come sit in the temple with me?" the white-robed monk invited. Lin Jing nodded, then turned to the Thunder Dragon Ancestor beside him.

"I’ll be back soon."

The Thunder Dragon Ancestor gave a nod. He also looked at the white-robed monk for a moment, and the monk returned the gaze, inwardly sighing at how seriously the Demon Court valued its Holy Son.

Moments later, Lin Jing was seated in the tea courtyard of the Demon-Slaying Temple, personally hosted by the temple’s abbot.

"May I ask what brings Holy Son Lin to the Western Desert this time?"

"Could it be… you’ve come to slay demons too?" the white-robed monk asked.

"Sort of," Lin Jing said. "Recently, there seem to be more demons and devils in the Western Desert. Are there many cultivators coming to slay them as well?"

"Yes. With the opening of the Golden Era, countless ancient demons are awakening. The Western Desert is about to fall into chaos again..."

The white-robed monk thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the Cold Moon Sword Immortal?"

Lin Jing said, "Of course."

"Ever since the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor reached the Dao-Seeking realm, the Cold Moon Sword Immortal has become his successor. She’s now one of the most famous sword cultivator prodigies on the continent. She’ll be arriving soon to slay demons too."

"When I was younger, I stayed with the Demon-Slaying Bureau in the Ancient Kingdom for some time, so I still have contact with them. A few days ago, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor sent me a message, asking me to look after his disciple for a while."

The white-robed monk sighed. "From what the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor said, the Cold Moon Sword Immortal is from the Feng family of Martial Emperor City. She traveled to the Ancient Kingdom with her parents when she was young. Along the way, they were attacked by demons. Her parents died protecting her. Fortunately, a passing elder from the Heavenly Sword Gate saved her life."

"That’s why she hates demons so much. Upon hearing about the current demon chaos in the Western Desert, she insisted on coming."

"There are probably many prodigies like her who’ve come to slay demons. That is a blessing for the Western Desert."

Lin Jing stayed silent. This was the first time he had heard of the Cold Moon Sword Immortal’s background. So her parents had been brutally killed by demons… No wonder she was so determined to team up with him, even using herself as bait. It seemed she really did want to kill as many demons as possible.

"Holy Son, could it be that you also came due to a personal experience, to slay demons?" The white-robed monk knew that Lin Jing had once been persecuted by the Yin Corpse Sect, so he asked.

"No," Lin Jing said directly. "I heard that the abbot of Golden Light Temple is looking for a successor for the Golden Light Gu. I came for that."

"With the Buddhist cultivation talent awakened by you, I suppose I’m half a Buddhist cultivator too."

"So I should qualify to accept the inheritance."

"I also heard that slaying demons is part of the trial for inheriting the Golden Light Gu at Golden Light Temple. So demon-slaying is naturally something I’ll have to do while I’m here."

The white-robed monk paused for a moment.

"So that’s it… you came for the Golden Light Gu…"

"Even so, you’re still the Holy Son of the Demon Court. Your identity may be hard for many in the Buddhist sects to accept."

Lin Jing smiled faintly, looking at the monk.

"That’s why I’m here to visit you, Senior. You’re one of the top ten Void Mystical stage monks in the Buddhist world, and I’m technically your half-disciple. Why shouldn’t I count as half a Buddhist disciple?"

"You’re just like your second-generation sect master—both slippery fellows. Back in the day, he was the same," the monk was stunned again, then laughed heartily, recalling his younger years.

Back then, his cultivation wasn’t high—just Nascent Soul. He’d relied on a unique Buddhist sealing divine ability to help the Great Wasteland seal an Immortal Demon. The bond formed during that time was truly memorable.

The old monk fell into thought.

"For the sake of that old bond, I’ll help you. But Holy Son, you’ll have to agree to one thing: in this inheritance competition, you mustn’t harm the Buddhist prodigies. Also, help us deal with a demon revived from ancient times," the monk said. "What does Your Highness think?"

"Lightning is a demon’s nemesis," I looked toward Lin Jing’s ancestor within the city.

I felt that if Lin Jing’s ancestor made a move, it could greatly relieve the pressure on the Buddhist sects. Besides that, if someone like Mou Xing is determined to get the Golden Light Gu, it’s best to avoid life-and-death fights… keep it a fair competition, and avoid weakening the Buddhist world’s strength.

Lin Jing nodded and said, "That’s fine. But I heard the trials for the Golden Light Gu require a high level of Buddhist understanding. I’ve only cultivated two Buddhist techniques so far. Could you maybe teach me a few more Great Vehicle Buddhist arts…?"

"Is the Indestructible Golden Body or Tathagata Divine Palm available here?"
