Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 11Book 4: : Void Mystical Ghost
Vol 4 Chapter 11: Void Mystical Ghost
“Your Highness, Holy Son.”
On the Nine-Dragon Boat, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor stepped forward as soon as he saw Lin Jing return from the Golden Light Temple.
Seeing the scroll in Lin Jing’s hand, he instantly knew that the Holy Son had once again fleeced those bald donkeys.
He just wasn’t sure if this Indestructible Monk would be any more generous than that Wu Mo Abbot.
“Thank you for waiting so long, Senior,” Lin Jing said.
“To serve the Holy Son is no trouble at all,” the Thunder Dragon Ancestor chuckled.
“To have your protection is truly my fortune,” Lin Jing sighed. “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you again for the next trial.”
“Hmm?” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor grew alert.
Then, the Holy Son Lin explained the trial process for the Golden Light Gu to the Thunder Dragon Ancestor.
After listening, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor finally understood.
He stroked his dragon whiskers, pondering. “So, Your Highness needs me to suppress a Core Formation-level ghost?”
“I’ll beat it half to death first, then it’ll be easier for you to seal it inside yourself!”
Lin Jing nodded—that was exactly the plan.
“Piece of cake!” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor had thought it would be some impossible task. This?
Next second, the Holy Son added, “But it’s not a Core Formation-level ghost—it’s a Void Mystical-level ghost.”
Thunder Dragon Ancestor: ?
“The final trial is determined by the Indestructible Monk himself, who judges based on the ghost sealed. If I seal a Core Formation-level ghost just like all the other Buddhist prodigies, I won’t have any advantage, and he’ll still be more inclined toward true Buddhist disciples.”
“If there’s no clear gap between us, the right to explain and decide naturally lies with Golden Light and the others—we wouldn’t be able to argue against it anyway.”
“Only by creating a significant gap between me and the other contenders can I firmly take the Golden Light Gu. If even then the Golden Light Temple shows bias, we’ll have grounds to bring our case to His Majesty the Demon Emperor.”
“This...” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor had to admit the logic was sound, but... a Void Mystical-level ghost? Did the Holy Son even realize the kind of bullsh*t he was saying?
That kind of thing—can you just seal it because you say so?
Even the Indestructible Monk himself might not be able to handle it so easily.

He was just a guardian, not some death-seeking warrior!
Guarding Lin Jing had been a relatively easy task, theoretically speaking. After all, most top cultivators feared the Demon Emperor and wouldn’t dare make a move on Lin Jing.
The weaker small fries could be dealt with casually by the guardian.
If a true powerhouse appeared, the Demon Emperor himself would step in.
So all the way through, it was unlikely anything too difficult would happen.
But... actively seeking trouble? That’s a whole different story.
A Void Mystical-level ghost—that’s the trouble.
Even if the Thunder Dragon Ancestor had natural abilities that countered ghosts, he had no desire to actually fight another Void Mystical entity.
And most importantly—he didn’t believe Lin Jing could succeed in sealing a ghost of that level.
Even a Core Formation ghost was pushing it...
It was like asking a Golden Core-stage Beast Tamer to control a Core Formation demonic beast.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help,” the Thunder Dragon Ancestor advised, “I’m just afraid Your Highness won’t be able to handle it.”
“Even if I beat the Void Mystical ghost until it’s barely breathing, with your current cultivation, I fear it’d still be hard to seal. And even if you succeed, the ghost’s power at the Void Mystical level is far more condensed than Core Formation spiritual power—it’d be hard to use and may backfire!”
“True.” Lin Jing understood that too. But without pushing to this level, he might not be able to win the Golden Light Gu. He had no choice.
Besides, losing under the rules meant the Gu would be forever out of reach—going to the Demon Emperor wouldn’t help either.
“There is a sliver of possibility, though,” Lin Jing revealed his advantage.
“Ghosts are mostly formless beings, undead entities. What they fear most is someone full of yang energy and vigorous life force.”
“I have the Longevity Body. My vitality is already on par with Void Mystical-level cultivators. And this is only the peak of minor achievement in the Longevity Body. If I can advance to major achievement, my life force will rival even Dao-Seeking cultivators. Without doubt, I’d be a natural ghost nemesis. With vitality like that, it’d be extremely hard for any ghost to bite back.”
“Moreover, what ghosts fear even more is heavenly thunder. Right now, my Ice Soul Gu has devoured the Thunder Tribulation Gu. When I fuse with it, I can wield heavenly thunder—another ghost-repelling ability.”
“Also, the Ice Soul power of the Ice Soul Gu has extremely strong suppressive effects on these ghost beings. It’s one of the Ten Rare Gu specifically designed to target souls.”
“So, if Senior could just help beat the ghost to a sliver of life, I might just have a shot at sealing it.”
“And I don’t even need to seal it permanently—just keep it under control for a day or even half a day. Once the inheritance is complete, I can immediately extract and destroy it.”
After Lin Jing finished speaking, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor fell into deep thought.
“And, the kind of ghost we choose matters too,” Lin Jing shook the scroll in his hand.
“This is the intel I got from the Golden Light Temple—it contains information on most powerful ghosts in the Western Desert.”
“Ghosts come in all forms—human-shaped, beast-shaped, or strange, untraceable things beyond comprehension.”
“What we want is definitely a beast-shaped ghost.”
“That way, my Beast Taming Art and Beast Taming Physique might actually work. And, what you don’t know, Senior, is that I have a divine ability that can massively boost my Beast Taming level...”
That was the lifespan-burning Divine Control Technique. Lin Jing could temporarily sacrifice decades of lifespan in exchange for a surge in Beast Taming prowess. For the Golden Light Gu, burning a hundred years of life? Totally worth it.
All these stacked advantages were why Lin Jing believed this was worth a try.
“Alright then...” Seeing the Holy Son had indeed thought this through, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor nodded. Besides, His Majesty the Demon Emperor was in the Western Desert too—what could possibly go wrong?
Let’s do it!
He was the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, master of lightning—he wouldn’t be scared of some wandering ghosts!
All for the Transformation Pill!
“Then does Your Highness have a target in mind?” the Thunder Dragon Ancestor asked.
Lin Jing unrolled the scroll.
“Not yet, but it’s not too late to look now.”
The scroll recorded over a hundred tough Nascent Soul-level ghosts that the Buddhist sects had failed to exorcise.
As for Core Formation-level ghosts, there were about a dozen.
And at the Void Mystical level—there were three.
Skipping over the Nascent Soul and Core Formation ghosts, Lin Jing’s eyes went straight to the three great Void Mystical ghosts.
The Buddhist sects had documented these three not because they wanted anyone to deal with them, but as warnings—do not go near these three evil spirits.
“The first one—The Ghost Bride...”
