CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 32: THE FOURTH BEAST CONFIRMED

"Turtle?" Lin Jing was taken aback, what turtle?

"Though this is just the outermost part of the Immortal Burial Volcano, given its condition, it won’t last much longer; if this continues, I’m afraid it will be burned." Seeing the situation, His Majesty the Demon Emperor waved his small hand and pulled an ordinary-looking brown little turtle into the barrier.

Seeing the turtle, Lin Jing almost choked; isn’t this a Mechanical Turtle?

How did this thing end up in the Western Desert?

Upon seeing its creator, the Mechanical Turtle calmly said:

"Master, I got lost."

"I finally found you."

Lin Jing fell into contemplation; getting lost, from Qingzhou all the way to the Western Desert, impressive.

No wonder I couldn’t sense your position when I was in Qingzhou; turns out you weren’t even there anymore.

Before Lin Jing could speak, the Longevity Treasure Turtle automatically took out a longevity ginseng from its storage space and presented it:

"I spent ten years and successfully found a treasure that can extend life by twenty years."

It raised its head with a proud expression.

"This turtle is quite amusing."

Seeing this turtle bring a twenty-year longevity ginseng to Lin Jing, who has a Longevity Body, His Majesty the Demon Emperor was amazed.

Although, in her view, this longevity ginseng was useless for Lin Jing, for ordinary cultivators’ families, having such a Mechanical Turtle was still quite advantageous.

"This is a Longevity Treasure Turtle designed by the Ancient Divine Strategy Manor, truly impressive."

Lin Jing looked at the Mechanical Turtle, quite surprised.

What is fate!

I just spent twenty years of lifespan in the Grotto Heaven using my Golden Core Divine Techniques, and this turtle brought back a treasure to replenish my lifespan?

Originally, after leaving seclusion in Qingzhou, Lin Jing had prepared for the worst, not finding its trace.

But now it seems this creature is somewhat useful.

Furthermore, it matches well with me.

Even when lost, it coincidentally wandered to the Western Desert to find me.

And it happened to bring back the supplement I needed.

If this isn’t fate, Lin Jing wouldn’t believe in fate.

"Wait a moment." Staring at the Longevity Treasure Turtle, Lin Jing squinted his eyes, can this Divine Spirit Book be directly used for its cultivation?

Inside the Grotto Heaven, he roughly browsed through the Divine Spirit Book; this cultivation technique, as an array cultivation technique, differs greatly from ordinary techniques.

It involves carving complex array patterns within the body using Spiritual Power, transforming oneself into the array’s core.

Mechanical beasts are essentially natural array cores, as all their movements rely on the operation of array patterns and formations.

Many mechanical masters also use mechanical beasts as array cores to maintain large arrays.

In other words, as long as the Mechanical Turtle develops consciousness, its compatibility with this array cultivation technique will be extremely high.

Afterwards, he could even make modifications to add a tomb-robbing feature to its longevity treasure-seeking traits, allowing it to wander and grow stronger while gaining the ability to summon ancient warriors to defend itself.

Having a contracted beast from the Divine Spirit Book, the convenience is not just about summoning projections to assist in battle.

It allows one to seek guidance on cultivation matters from them.

If the Dragon Carp wants to further refine its skills in Alchemy Dao, it can search for the relics of ancient Pill Ancestors, summon them, and seek guidance.

On the path of alchemy, even His Majesty the Demon Emperor cannot teach the Dragon Carp anything; he can only try to enhance its flame intensity to elevate its alchemy level.

As seen, a renowned master is extremely important.

So, if an ancient expert can guide them, the cultivation path would certainly be smoother.

However, the biggest obstacle now is that he hasn’t yet improved the Beast Taming Technique to contract the Mechanical Turtle; additionally, it is still prone to getting lost, indicating its current instability.

To contract it, he must further refine the Beast Taming Technique and mastery over mechanics.

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, may I send a clone outside next?"

"The true form will continue to remain here to assist the Dragon Carp in mastering the Immortal Fire."

"For what purpose?" His Majesty the Demon Emperor inquired.

"Buddhism, Bodhi Tree. I plan to use a cultivation technique obtained earlier in the Grotto Heaven and this Mechanical Treasure Turtle to improve my own Beast Taming Technique."

"And before doing this, to save time, I wish to enhance my comprehension as much as possible."

"In Buddhism, there is a temple called Bodhi."

"This Bodhi Temple has something called the Bodhi Tree."

Bodhi Temple in Bodhi City is also one of the eighty-one temples of Buddhism, with a special grove of Bodhi Trees.

Indeed, it is the Bodhi Tree within the Bodhi Grotto Heaven that Lin Jing had once visited.

However, the three Bodhi Trees within Bodhi Heaven are gold, silver, and green in color, with their effect on increasing comprehension weakening sequentially.

And the Bodhi Tree within Bodhi Temple is only green, the lowest quality, yet even so, it is the finest enlightenment treasure on the Celestial Essence Continent.

Other than the Treasure Beast Enlightenment Fish from the Spirit Dao Sect, there’s nothing stronger than the green Bodhi Tree, not even the enhancement from the Secret Technique of the Hidden Dragon.

Perhaps now, another entry on a golden ranking might be better than the Bodhi Tree.

Nonetheless, even if it’s just the green Bodhi Tree, Lin Jing desires to acquire one.

Moreover, when the cultivation of the Pine Leaf Mouse increases, he can attempt to see what can be synthesized from the Bodhi Tree.

Since his cultivation progresses slowly, he aims to collect anything that can accelerate his cultivation speed, the more the merrier.

"Hmm, go ahead." His Majesty the Demon Emperor nodded.

She did not suggest helping Lin Jing acquire it from Buddhism.

Resources within the Demon Court are readily available for Lin Jing to request.

But things from outside, since Lin Jing has confidence in acquiring them, it’s better to leave it to him; similarly, she will not investigate what fortunes Lin Jing obtained in the Grotto Heaven, nor interfere with what Contracted Beast he might take; as the Demon Emperor, she only supervises Lin Jing’s alchemy, ensuring he does not meet an early demise.

Everyone has their own path of cultivation, some paths must be walked independently.

Having reached the Enlightenment Phase, His Majesty the Demon Emperor clearly understands that if a cultivator achieves high cultivation without experience, relying solely on resources, it will be difficult to forge their own Dao.

......

Soon after, His Majesty the Demon Emperor departed again.

But Lin Jing did not consume the longevity ginseng retrieved by the turtle.

For his twenty thousand-year lifespan, twenty years is insignificant; once he reaches Nascent Soul, his lifespan will be even more terrifying, not worth worrying over such consumption.

He directly tossed the longevity ginseng to the Pine Leaf Mouse: "Use twenty years of lifespan to create two clones; we’ll have the true form cultivate here while the clones handle tasks outside."

"Squeak..." As the Pine Leaf Mouse took the ginseng under the dark gaze of the Longevity Treasure Turtle, it felt like something sinister was watching.

"Secret Technique of the Hidden Dragon is a secret technique, the Bodhi Tree is a resource; next, I’ll ascend the luck golden list to enjoy the golden era’s enhancement, maximizing my comprehension. I refuse to believe I cannot refine the Beast Taming Technique." Lin Jing called the Dragon Carp.

"Xiaolizi, come here; let’s hold off on training. I want to try smacking you around to see if we can exploit a loophole and make it onto the golden list; that way, we can avoid challenging other prodigies." Dragon Carp: ???
