Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 104Book 3: : Tree Ancestor

Vol 3 Chapter 104: Tree Ancestor

"Leaving already???"

"Why didn’t you call your big sis?"

Just as Lin Jing was about to depart, someone else in Senior Sister’s palace wanted to tag along.

The Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain—Huan Li.

This Nascent Soul Illusion Cultivator had been confined here ever since she saw through Lin Jing’s identity.

Lin Jing glanced at her.

"Just kidding, oh great Holy Son, take me with you," Huan Li chuckled. "You're the Holy Son of the Demon Court—walking around without a proper powerhouse at your side? That’s not a good look."

Lin Jing replied, "You're free now. My identity is no longer a secret. You should return to Thousand Illusions Mountain."

"Seeing as you've shared a lot of your Illusion Dao insights with me lately..."

He took out a drop of Ancestor Blood—the blood of the Sky Lion Ancestor—and tossed it to Huan Li. "This is the blood of the Sky Lion Clan’s ancestor. Use it to enhance your Illusion Beast Techniques."

Huan Li accepted the blood and stored it in her storage bag, eyes welling up as she cried like a weeping pear blossom. "I’m not leaving. I’m not! Your Spell Spirit Origin of the Illusion Dao hasn’t gained sentience yet—how can I feel at ease? I must stay by your side and pass on all of my Illusion Dao wisdom..."

Lin Jing let out a light laugh.

With his mastery of the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique, how could he not see through the Grand Elder's little scheme?

This woman might not bear him ill will, but her true intentions? Clear as day.

“Heard five Demon Ancestors died in Tongtian City, and all I get is a drop of blood? You think I’m some beggar?”

“Besides, with the demon race reviving and the Demon Court rising fast, this kid’s future is limitless as the Demon Court Holy Son.”

“I’ve got to cling to his thigh to ensure Thousand Illusions Mountain stays safe through the chaos in Qingzhou.”

“On top of that, he’s got the Longevity Body—he could outlive the Demon Emperor. If he and Xu Qingyao inherit the court, as someone who taught him the Illusion Dao, I’ll definitely go down in history. I can’t leave. I won’t!”

Huan Li shook her head firmly. She was staying.

"Not leaving?"

"Can’t leave. Now’s when Holy Son truly needs people."

"Your new territory needs a protective mountain formation, right? I can do that. My illusion arrays are the perfect fit."

Lin Jing shook his head as well—but fine, he really did need people right now.

The mosquito swarm might have Nascent Soul-level combat strength, but they weren’t unified—there were plenty of ways to counter them.

In contrast, Huan Li, a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator with masterful control of the Illusion Dao, was far more useful—even more so than some peak Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of course, she wasn’t as handy as Senior Pine, who could not only guard the mountain but also help ripen spiritual plants.

"This whole uproar... even cultivators from the Ancient Celestial Kingdom’s Beast Taming Sect are showing up in Qingzhou. Where’s Senior Pine?"

"Don’t tell me he got teleported somewhere dangerous and... died?"

He felt uneasy. Maybe it was time to mobilize the Demon Court’s forces to help him look for Senior Pine.

After taking a group of people with him, Lin Jing parted ways with his Senior Sister.

Before they parted, the two conducted one final experiment. Senior Sister found a Core Disciple from the Beast Taming Sect willing to take the risk and fed his contract pet beast a Transformation Pill.

The result? Although the pet beast survived the Transformation Tribulation, the contract between beast and tamer was violently torn during the process. This proved one thing: the Beast Taming Art was incompatible with the demon race.

If a pet beast wanted to continue its transformation, the contract had to be severed. But if the contract remained, the transformation would fail.

In the end, the disciple chose to preserve the contract over his now-demonic girlfriend. Still, both he and his pet beast were heavily injured and would need a long recovery.

"Your guess was right. It doesn’t work." Xu Qingyao sighed.

The demon race had evolved—they were no longer just demonic beasts. They couldn’t be bound by contracts anymore.

"Actually, I’d say the experiment succeeded. It shows that if Sect Master and Senior Brother Ouyang are willing to break their contracts with Sect Master’s wife and Hong’er, their beasts could successfully transform," Lin Jing said.

"That’s true." Senior Sister nodded thoughtfully. "But I suspect they still hope to complete the transformation without breaking the contract."

Lin Jing had no solution for that. "Hard to have both. I think we’ll have to work on improving the Beast Taming Art. After I leave, I’ll research Transformation Pills suitable for the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages. Let’s see who finishes first—me or them coming out of seclusion."

"When they do, please let them know—not to rush it."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already left a message outside their cave dwellings. Once they see it, they’ll come out."

With Qingzhou in chaos, the Sect Master and Senior Brother Ouyang were still closed off in seclusion. No one could force them out, so all she could do was leave a message and wait.

…

Beyond the sixteen routes of Qingzhou lay a paradise for demonic beasts.

Each major beast clan ruled by a Demon Ancestor controlled rich and fertile territory.

After the deaths of five Demon Ancestors in Tongtian City, the Demon Court seized their domains.

Among those, Lin Jing had his eyes on the territory of the Wood Dragon Clan.

The old ancestor of the clan was a massive, wood-element dragon—sworn brother to the Sky Lion Ancestor—and rumored to have ties to the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor in the Misty Forest. But none of that mattered;the Demon Court’s ruler had crushed him regardless.

The clan’s homeland was called Immortal Prison Mountain, located at the border between the sixteen Qingzhou routes and the Eastern Sea. The area was rich in both wood and water attributes, with several top-grade spiritual veins underground linking sea and land—perfect for nurturing plants.

It was also said that the mountain had once been bathed in the blood of a Celestial Dragon during an ancient war, producing Dragon Blood Crystals, a rare resource that enhanced dragon bloodlines. Truly a blessed land.

After the Demon Court wiped out the Wood Dragon Clan, Lin Jing moved in and claimed the land. However, due to the recent war, Immortal Prison Mountain was now in ruins. Apart from the spiritual veins, the place had been plundered clean by other demon beast clans.

Still, the foundation was solid. Give it some time to recover, and it would soon return to its former glory.

Upon Lin Jing’s arrival, ten billion mosquitoes spread across the mountain, forming the first defensive layer. Shu Tong led a few Plant Mice to start reforestation and plant Earth Vein Spirit Trees to enrich the spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Gu Qianqiu was sent deep into the veins to carve out a cave dwelling for cultivation.

As for the Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Lin Jing put her to work setting up an illusion array, forming the second defensive layer. With her drawing on the spiritual veins, even a Void Mystical Stage cultivator would have a hard time breaking through in a short time.

While Lin Jing was busy renovating his new base, in the Tianyuan Rift of the void, a massive Void Mystical fluctuation surged forth. Gigantic tree roots pierced through the spatial rift, absorbing nutrients from the void.

"HAHAHAHA! I knew it—I’m Heaven’s chosen one! Thanks to the random treasures I picked up, I’ve broken through to the Void Mystical Stage ahead of schedule!"

"Hang in there, my little Longevity rascal! Don’t be afraid! With me, the Tree Ancestor of the Void Mystical Realm, here now, nobody’s gonna bully you again! To h*ll with that Nine Infant Demon Lord—I’m coming for you next!"
