Lin Jing held the Beast Taming Sect’s beast-taming magical artifact in his left hand, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s beast-taming magical artifact in his right hand. As he took them out, the entire venue fell silent.
"This is..." The three members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were immediately stunned.
Although they indeed presented a Ten Thousand Beasts Circle as a congratulatory gift at the Beast Taming Sect’s conferment ceremony, they didn’t expect Lin Jing to use it so soon!
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect offered the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle with ill intentions.
The Beast Taming Sect’s beast-taming magical artifact can only accept contracted pet beasts, limiting the number of beasts it can contain. However, its internal environment is excellent, suitable for the growth of pet beasts, and can also cultivate various Spirit Plants.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s beast-taming magical artifact allows for unrestricted intake of numerous demon beasts, but the prerequisite is the erasure of the beasts’ intelligence, and its internal environment is relatively barren.
The two different beast-taming magical artifacts represent the different beast-taming philosophies of the Beast Taming Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. In the eyes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, offering the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle was a step towards successfully corrupting the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect the moment he couldn’t resist its temptation and used it.
The premise of making the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect unable to resist using the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle was to defeat him thoroughly using it. Unexpectedly, Lin Jing took it out himself, as if he’d been using it for a long time!
This Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect isn’t playing by the rules!
Lin Jing’s actions caught Bai Niao off guard and made the elders of the Beast Taming Sect anxious. "Saint Heir, what are you doing... You shouldn’t use this."
Many cultivators looked towards the Demon King Ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect, wondering if the sect intended to change its beast-taming philosophy.
"Without cultivating the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s technique, you can’t harness the full power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle. I’d advise you not to make a fool of yourself," Bai Niao said, her eyes flashing coldly.
"This Saint Heir admits that." Lin Jing nodded. "But you’ve overlooked one thing: as long as the ferocious beasts within the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle are strong enough, even without the Beast Master’s intervention, they can sweep through everything."
"The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is far from the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. I wonder if you’ve heard of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea."
"They are ten extremely fearsome races that live in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, with almost no possibility of coexisting peacefully with other races. To deal with such ferocious beasts, I have to admit, your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s magical artifact is more useful."
With that, Lin Jing casually tossed out the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle.
In an instant, over a hundred fierce-looking mosquito beasts flew out from the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle. Upon seeing the sky full of gulls, they charged at them like they were a feast, revealing their ferocity, their bodies emitting a bloody metallic sheen.
"This is..." When the mosquito beasts appeared, the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s pupils contracted. Unlike the Ancient Country, which is centrally located on the continent and near the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, Qingzhou is separated by the Mist Forest and the Celestial Essence Ancient Country, two natural barriers, and does not have as clear an understanding of the terror of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea as the Ancient Country Cultivators.
However, the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect understood the terror of these beasts the moment he saw the mosquito swarm. Against the hurricane stirred up by bird demons, ten times their number, the mosquito swarm moved as if in an empty field, cutting through the storm like beams of bloody light. Like hungry wolves in a flock of sheep, each pass caused a bird demon to fall from the sky, drenched in blood!
At this sight, the Great Wilderness Cultivators gasped.
Although it was clearly written on the Heaven’s Chosen List that Lin Jing had subdued the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea, the Great Wilderness Cultivators were no better than the Qingzhou Cultivators. Many did not understand the true combat power of the Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea, and many thought Lin Jing had only subdued one at most!
The Ten Terrors of the Cloud Sea represent ten terrifying races. Subduing one is impressive, but subduing a group is a different concept altogether. Who would have thought Lin Jing had used a magical artifact from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to subdue over a hundred!
Is Lin Jing truly the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect, or the Saint Heir of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?
"Why..." Seeing the swarm of mosquito beasts approaching her, Bai Niao’s pupils contracted. She blew her jade flute, sending birds to explode against the mosquito beasts in an attempt to stop them, but to her shock, the exploding birds had no effect on the mosquito beasts.
Realizing she was about to become a target for the mosquito swarm’s bloodthirst, Bai Niao quickly set aside her pride and retreated, looking at Lin Jing as if he were a monster. She finally understood that the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect had been toying with her from the beginning, never taking her strength seriously.
Lin Jing thought he could let the mosquito beasts have a feast, but didn’t expect his opponent to concede so quickly, feeling rather uninterested. With a single thought, the mosquito swarm halted in mid-air and flew back.
Now, the Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect felt as if he’d suffered a double loss—his disciple had lost because of the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle!
"Well, looking at it this way, at least this Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect isn’t a stubborn person. Once he experiences the feeling of controlling ten thousand beasts, he’ll find it hard to give it up completely."
"But no matter what, we can’t lose today. Fortunately, I’ve taught Qingyu how to activate the middle-grade Ten Thousand Beasts Circle over the past few days..."
"Qingyu, your turn." The Vice Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect said, expressionless. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"You wish to challenge me as well?" Lin Jing saw the male disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect stand up and said, "How does your strength compare to hers? If you’re stronger, come up."
"Among the top five true inheritors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I rank second, and my junior sister ranks fourth. Of course, I’m stronger than her." Qingyu of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect looked at his dejected junior sister returning, leaped onto the peak of the dueling mountain, and faced Lin Jing: "Lin Saint Heir, I hope you find the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle handy to use."
"I also admit that the mosquito swarm you subdued with the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle is indeed terrifying. But do you really think that puts you in an unbeatable position?"
With that, he also took out a Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, but instead of summoning demon beasts, it released a terrifying force of attraction. The mosquito swarm summoned by Lin Jing showed signs of losing control, being drawn towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle in Qingyu’s hand!
"Is this... a middle-grade magical artifact!?" Seeing the artifact taken out by this Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciple, many experts squinted their eyes. Most low-level cultivators used lower-grade magical artifacts, and middle-grade magical artifacts were usually only used by Nascent Soul Powerhouses. Yet this disciple could activate a middle-grade magical artifact!
Under the suppression of the middle-grade Ten Thousand Beasts Circle on Lin Jing’s lower-grade one, the mosquito swarm showed signs of losing control and seemed about to be seized by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciple!
This situation was unforeseen even by Lin Jing. To avoid losing the swarm, he quickly withdrew the mosquito beasts back into the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, no longer exposing them.
After Lin Jing retrieved the mosquito beasts, Qingyu of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect smiled at him and said, "Not only the Saint Heir can control beasts. Under my Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, whether they’re ownerless or owned beasts, they can all be refined."
