Vol 4 Chapter 64: Rare Beast Father-in-law

Even though she was a Demon Emperor with immense power, the Artifact Ghost didn’t obey her at all.

Lin Jing had only barely managed to control it because he had the advantage of the Beast Taming Path, and the Artifact Ghost had been weakened by a restraining formation at the time.

Now, seeing that she couldn’t successfully cooperate with the Artifact Ghost, the Demon Emperor was growing anxious.

After all, this was a top-tier ghost entity capable of activating a Celestial Artifact. Even she wanted to try wielding a Celestial Artifact.

But despite using all her strength, she still failed.

This gave the Demon Emperor the distinct feeling that even if she erased the Artifact Ghost, it still wouldn’t cooperate with her in wielding the Celestial Artifact.

Lin Jing shook his head at the sight, thinking that even if the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor obtained the Artifact Ghost, he’d probably end up just like the Demon Emperor. Perhaps only the Bone Emperor, who had mastered the Soul Path, would truly have a way to control it.

"Forget it. I’m done. Here, take it back."

"This emperor will personally forge a Celestial Artifact."

After multiple failed attempts, the Demon Emperor threw the Ghost Mother back to Lin Jing, startling him.

After all, in his current state, he hadn’t activated the Divine Control Technique and couldn’t control the Ghost Mother.

However, maybe because the Demon Emperor was nearby, or perhaps because Lin Jing had previously commanded the Ghost Mother, it obediently curled up in Lin Jing’s arms without resisting.

"I actually..." Lin Jing really wanted to say that unless he kept burning his lifespan, there was no way he could suppress this thing.

And if he had to keep doing that—well, how much life did he even have to burn...

"You’re at the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage now. If you modify the Beast Taming Art, can you directly form a contract with it?" the Demon Emperor asked.

Lin Jing shook his head. "I don’t think so. Even though I temporarily boosted my cultivation to the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage, my number of contract slots didn’t increase."

"Right now, I still only have one slot at the Mid Core Formation Stage."

"And I can also sense that this drop of contract blood can only bind a beast that matches the level of my original cultivation stage."

"Meaning the upper limit is a pet at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. This one’s already at the Void Mystical Stage, so no matter what, it’s extremely hard to contract it."

"But..."

Lin Jing paused. In theory, that was true.

But now, with the bonus from the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, the bonus from the Fortune Gold List, the bonus from the Bodhi Tree, and even the future bonus from the Insight Fish, he himself was becoming a theory breaker.

Is it possible that by modifying the Beast Taming Art, he could break through these theoretical limits?

The Demon Emperor said he should try to contract the Artifact Ghost. If he succeeded, his strength would definitely take a qualitative leap.

Even if he couldn’t use 100% of the Artifact Ghost’s power, just being able to utilize 10% or 20% would be a massive improvement.

Forget Celestial Artifacts—if he could freely use a top-grade artifact like the Beast God’s Seven-Star Circle without pressure, his combat strength would skyrocket!

"If I can create a sealing method that suppresses its power and cultivation level, and in that sealed state form a contract with it, and its level gradually unlocks as my own cultivation improves... then maybe I can pull it off."

Lin Jing murmured.

"But I was originally saving the fourth contract slot for the Mechanical Turtle... wait a minute, the Mechanical Turtle doesn’t have intelligence. If I fuse the Artifact Ghost with the Mechanical Turtle and make it the turtle’s intellect—problem solved!"

"What problem did you solve exactly..." the Demon Emperor asked. "That Artifact Ghost’s intelligence is like a two-year-old human child. Whether it’s there or not, what difference does it make?"

Lin Jing paused, then said, "There’s still a difference. Having some intelligence is better than none. The Beast Taming Sect has secret techniques that help contract beasts develop intellect. As long as there’s some intelligence, it has the potential to grow. Sooner or later, it can mature."

"Since you’ve already decided, that’s good. No matter what, you must contract it. Don’t let it fall into the hands of the Ancient Kingdom or Netherworld Hall." the Demon Emperor reminded him.

With that, without another word, she swept Lin Jing into the void, heading straight for the Spirit Dao Sect.

..........

Outside the Spirit Dao Sect.

The Spirit Dao Sect’s Dao-Seeking elder and the Insight Fish had been waiting for the Demon Emperor and Lin Jing for quite some time.

"Greetings, Senior Ling Daozi." Lin Jing gave a slight bow.

The Spirit Dao Sect’s Grand Elder, Ling Daozi, was the second most powerful person in the Ancient Kingdom after the Ancient Emperor. He had mastered dozens of spell techniques with Spell Spirit Origins and Secret Arts. His strength was immense.

"No need for formality." Ling Daozi, with his fake sage-like demeanor, didn’t act like a high-level cultivator at all. Laughing heartily, he said, "We should thank Your Highness the Holy Son for showing mercy. Otherwise, our Spirit Dao Sect’s Daozi wouldn’t have gotten to enjoy the benefits of placing top three on the Gold List."

"You just had to sacrifice me!"

Beside him, the Insight Fish, with a lump on its head that looked like a brain and a face like a goldfish, muttered grumpily.

Its eyes looked past Lin Jing and Ling Daozi toward the small-framed, arrogant-looking Demon Emperor.

"Sister Demon Emperor, considering how hard I worked, could you give me a Transformation Pill?"

"Depends on your performance." the Demon Emperor replied. "Take good care of the Holy Son from the Demon Court, and we’ll talk. This emperor won’t treat you unfairly."

"...” the Insight Fish muttered.

Its rare beast divine ability was called the Enlightenment River.

After activation, it could transform the surrounding water into Enlightenment Water that enhanced comprehension.

But Enlightenment Water had its limits. Once the Insight Fish left the water source, the water lost its effect.

So whether soaking in it or drinking it directly, the Insight Fish had to be present.

More importantly, the effect of Enlightenment Water varied among cultivators.

Some became immune after one or two uses, while others found it effective even after dozens.

Because of this, the Spirit Dao Sect used it as a secondary way to evaluate disciples’ talent.

And to climb the ranks, the sect’s Daozi—who responded exceptionally well to Enlightenment Water—drank so much of it that he became immune. That’s how desperate he was.

"Enough talking," the Demon Emperor said.

The Insight Fish flicked its tail. "Can’t stop talking yet. Let’s lay down some ground rules: no hugging and biting. Look at your Holy Son—his eyes are practically glowing green when he looks at me."

The Demon Emperor looked at Lin Jing. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Lin Jing rubbed his chin and said, "That’s not what I meant."

He didn’t like eating fish. Too many bones—too much hassle.

If he liked fish, he would’ve eaten the Dragon Carp by now.

"It’s just... Senior Insight Fish, judging from your voice... are you female?"

"What of it?" The Insight Fish was instantly on guard.

"Do you have a partner? My Dragon Carp is also a rare beast—and also a fish. Would you consider... combining your bloodlines..."

"The offspring would definitely be of Celestial Beast potential."

Ling Daozi, the Demon Emperor, and the Insight Fish all went silent.

Lin Jing was thinking: if the marriage worked out, he’d be the Insight Fish’s father-in-law.

Wouldn’t he get to drink Enlightenment Fish Soup forever?

Though... his Dragon Carp’s EQ wasn’t very high. Probably couldn’t pull it off.
