Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 92Book 3: : Heavenly Demon Scroll
Vol 3. Chapter 92: Heavenly Demon Scroll
“Y-Your Majesty the Demon Emperor?!”
Staring at this "demon girl," Xu Qingyao slightly opened her mouth, speaking in disbelief.
As much as she didn’t want to believe it, the aura emanating from the other party left her no choice.
This tiger-faced, white-haired girl in a dragon robe was none other than the Demon Emperor who ruled over the Demon Court!
...Her future master!
“You... you underwent Transformation?”
Xu Qingyao instantly understood why she had been unable to contact the Demon Emperor for a while.
“Mm. I found a method to cultivate that Tier-3 Transformation Grass up to near-Immortal quality—enough to affect me. After calculating that I could survive the Tribulation of Transformation, I took it directly,” the Demon Emperor said calmly, as if it were nothing.
She looked at the stunned Lin Jing and said, “But the resources needed to enhance the Transformation Grass’s quality—I only had enough for one. So from now on, it’s up to your Transformation Pills to create more transformed demons.”
“Understood...” Lin Jing took a deep breath.
“Then... Your Majesty, in your current state... are you able to fight?” he asked.
Because no matter how you looked at it, this transformation didn’t seem entirely successful...
“No need to worry. I only look like this because I practiced the Demon Clan technique of the Divine Tiger Clan. It granted me greater potential, which is why I took this form. In fact, compared to my old beast form, this one has greater potential for growth...”
“Just like a human growing from a child to an adult, their strength skyrockets.”
The Demon Emperor spoke indifferently. “So don’t worry. Just go to the Pill Assembly. Even if the Gu God of the Gu God Sect or the Corpse Emperor of the Yin Corpse Sect come after you, I’ll make sure they lose a piece of themselves.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” With the Demon Emperor’s promise, Lin Jing felt much more at ease. Still… could it really not be that she rushed her transformation too quickly and messed it up? Lin Jing didn’t dare ask.
Then, the Demon Emperor tossed out a scroll. “Refine this. You should be familiar with it.”
“It also comes from the Demonic Sky Sect. Its name is the Heavenly Demon Scroll.”
“Once refined, it will display soul images of any lifeforms within a certain range who harbor intense killing intent, hostility, or ill will toward you. If you kill the lifeform shown on the scroll with your own hands, your divine sense will grow stronger.”
“Eventually, your divine sense will allow you—just like this scroll—to sense whether any surrounding life harbors killing intent, hostility, or ill will toward you. No matter how well they hide it, your divine sense won’t be fooled.”
“For someone with the Longevity Body, this treasure should be of great value.”
Lin Jing solemnly accepted the Heavenly Demon Scroll.
“When the time comes, I’ll use the marks on this scroll to hunt down anyone inside or outside Tongtian City who bears malice toward you. No—more accurately, I’ll leave them barely alive, so you can kill them yourself and cultivate your divine sense.”

“I said all spoils of war would belong to you, and that includes their lives.”
“Get ready.”
The Demon Emperor slowly stepped into the void, then muttered to herself in a deserted place.
“As long as I can get the Longevity Body to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense Technique, I should be able to prove that compared to the Ancient Emperor, I’m the true sovereign worthy of his loyalty.”
After all, she had practiced this technique herself. Even in its hazy form, she could sense the heart of that Longevity Body of the Ancestor.
This person harbored no real malice toward beasts or the demon race. He wasn’t a racist. On the contrary, upon seeing her transformation into a demon, what he showed was... curiosity.
Most human cultivators held to the belief that “those not of my kind must be evil.”
But perhaps because Lin Jing came from the Beast Taming Sect, he was different from most cultivators of the Ancient Kingdom.
That made the Demon Emperor realize—if the Demon Court sincerely treated the Longevity Body well, then he wouldn’t keep his distance just because of race.
Since that was the case, there was no need to treat Lin Jing as an outsider just because he was human. If she continued nurturing him as the heir to the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor was confident she could tie his heart to them, making him willingly work for the Demon Court.
Unless the Ancient Emperor married off the princess of the Ancient Kingdom to Lin Jing and took him as a disciple, she couldn’t think of any reason Lin Jing would return to the Ancient Kingdom instead of staying with the Demon Court.
And the Ancient Emperor definitely wouldn’t do that. After all, compared to the value he held for the Demon Court, Lin Jing meant far less to the Ancient Kingdom.
“I feel like... after my transformation, I’ve gotten smarter.” The Demon Emperor licked her paw, already itching to unleash carnage and test out this demon form.
...........
A few days later.
The Pill Assembly... was about to begin.
The event was held in a vast alchemy field in Tongtian City, with over a hundred separate pill refining platforms provided for participating alchemists.
At that time, each alchemist would need to refine pills on their assigned platform—simultaneously, in front of everyone!
In the end, pills would be judged by the Pill Sovereigns based on their effects and refining order.
This format was a huge test of an alchemist’s skill, since shifts in ambient temperature, spiritual energy, and even pill fragrance could interfere with others’ pill refining.
However, as long as it wasn’t intentional interference, any effects caused by normal pill refining were within the rules!
While the quality of the pill determined the score, any alchemist overly affected by external factors—no matter how magical their pill idea—would be told by Tongtian Tower to come back next time once they’d polished their technique. It was a sign their fundamentals weren’t solid enough.
“Where’s the Longevity Body?”
“Haven’t seen him yet.”
At this moment, the pill field was already packed with alchemists, but all the spectators were focused on one person—Lin Jing.
“There he is!” Finally, a moment later, Lin Jing appeared. But few could tell where he’d come from. It wasn’t until he walked toward his assigned pill platform in Firecloud Pill Robes that the surrounding crowd began to stir.
“This Longevity Body really knows how to hide. From now on, keep your eyes on him.”
In the void, countless Void Mystical Stage experts were also hidden. Elder Thunder of the Gu God Sect had been monitoring the pill field the entire time but still couldn’t figure out where Lin Jing had come from.
“Jiu Ying, your divine sense is stronger. Lock onto him!”
“Hold—” The Ancestor of the Sky Lions was also in Tongtian City at this moment, secretly observing the pill field. Although he wanted to seize Lin Jing right then and there, all the demon ancestors who had entered the city had already been warned by Tongtian Tower upon arrival. Naturally, none of them dared cause trouble during the Assembly and risk making enemies.
Many understood that the real battle would begin after the Assembly ended.
“You... are that Longevity Body, aren’t you?”
After Lin Jing had taken his place by his platform, to his side, a seductive woman with red curly hair licked her lips and looked at him.
“Our Ancestor is quite interested in you. After the Pill Assembly, would you be willing to meet in the city?”
Many spectators and alchemists looked over, instantly recognizing her—one of the concubines of the Skyfire Ancestor. That old Void Mystical monster had an overpowered cultivation method and frequently needed to vent his lust. He had countless wives and concubines, but it was said he was reaching the end of his lifespan and no longer even had the energy for dual cultivation… He’d become so desperate he was allegedly using boys and girls from his own bloodline to refine youth-restoring demonic pills.
Lin Jing calmly extended a hand toward her. A black scroll floated up and unfurled in the air.
The open scroll was filled with countless portraits—densely packed.
“Is your Ancestor’s face on this scroll? If it is, I wouldn’t mind meeting.”
