Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 78Book 3: : Mosquito Woman
Vol 3 Chapter 78: Mosquito Woman
The Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Huan Li, remained silent for a long time. She felt that her curiosity had doomed her—by seeing through Lin Jing’s secret, he was bound to retaliate.
After countless considerations, she realized she had no other choice. Just because she had looked at Lin Jing one extra time in the crowd, she had sealed the fate of both Thousand Illusions Mountain and herself.
She was now going to be confined in the Demon Court—though, admittedly, it was a place full of opportunities.
"Guess I’m just unlucky. Let’s do as you say." Huan Li sighed. It was still a better fate than that of the Myriad Beast Sect.
Besides, if she didn’t make this choice, once the Myriad Beast Sect grew under the Demon Court’s backing, the disciples of Thousand Illusions Mountain would likely have an even harder time surviving here.

Xu Qingyao glanced at Lin Jing. Now that this "threat" had been resolved, she smiled and said, "Then it’s decided."
"From today on, we’re on the same side. But, Thousand Illusions Venerable, can you tell me… why do you maintain this appearance?"
The Grand Elder of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Huan Li, looked at Xu Qingyao and said, "What do you mean by 'maintain this appearance'?"
"Cultivation is all about the pursuit of longevity. As a woman, is it wrong for me to want eternal youth in my pursuit of immortality?"
"This appearance is not fake! Thousand Illusions Mountain has the Inverse Void Art. I have already cultivated it to perfection—this form has permanently merged with me. So, this is my true appearance."
"Holy Maiden, you’re still young. When you get older, you’ll come begging me to teach you the secret of eternal youth. So, be polite to me."
Senior Sister shrugged. "Whatever makes you happy."
Fine, stay young forever—but over a thousand years old and still looking like a child? Isn’t that a bit excessive?
Xu Qingyao found the woman a little eccentric.
Lin Jing, standing to the side, stroked his chin and pondered—so now Thousand Illusions Mountain belonged to him?
"From now on, you—Huang Yu—will be the future heir of Thousand Illusions Mountain." Huan Li said seriously.
"Alright." Lin Jing didn’t care much. He could just have Pine Leaf Mouse create another Huang Yu clone and leave it at Thousand Illusions Mountain as a mascot.
"Your illusion arts should have reached the stage of Spell Spirit Origin Prototype, correct?" Huan Li asked.
She chuckled and said, "Not bad, but there are still flaws in your illusions. Once we return to the Demon Court, I’ll help you correct these. That way, your Spell Spirit Origin will be able to develop its own intelligence faster."
Lin Jing naturally had no reason to refuse. "Then I’ll thank you in advance, Grand Elder."
"Don’t call me Grand Elder. I’m only a thousand years older than you—just call me Sister."
"Since I’m entrusting the future of Thousand Illusions Mountain to you, I will teach you everything I know." She looked at Lin Jing and said, "You haven’t switched cultivation methods yet, have you? You’re still cultivating Thousand Illusions Codex? When you create an External Incarnation in the future, why not have your second body specialize in illusion arts?"
"We’ll see, we’ll see…"
"We’ll see?!" The "loli" Grand Elder nearly jumped up to hit him. With his unparalleled illusion talent, he was still hesitating about making his avatar specialize in illusion arts?!
…
Not long after, their trip to Senluo Path concluded.
For reasons unknown to the outside world, both the Myriad Beast Sect and Thousand Illusions Mountain suddenly sealed themselves off for internal restructuring.
And the mastermind behind all of this, Lin Jing’s group, had already returned to Xu Qingyao’s palace.
With the Myriad Beast Circle now in hand, they could begin the Ten-Billion Mosquito Swarm cultivation project.
The Demon Court would provide the blood needed to accelerate the mosquitoes’ reproduction, while Lin Jing, using the Myriad Beast Circle and his Beast Taming Physique, would refine their violent nature through training.
Mosquito swarms were already highly intelligent;their aggression wasn’t the main issue—control was.
"Although I don’t have Yan Xiangbei’s Weapon Master Physique and can’t control high-grade magical artifacts at the Foundation Establishment level, with my Golden Core cultivation, multiple pet beasts as mana batteries, and the Three Heads, Six Arms technique, I can still manage one or two of them."
With his Three Heads, Six Arms and Dragon Carp fusion form, Lin Jing held a Myriad Beast Circle in each hand, with another hanging from his chest.
In this state, he felt that if he encountered the Nascent Soul-level Blazing Sun Tiger King again, he might not even need poison—he could simply use the Myriad Beast Sect’s Guardian Treasure to suppress it.
And once he gathered all ten billion mosquitoes, his strength would be even more terrifying.
However, at his current level of Three Heads, Six Arms, wielding the Seven-Star Beast God Circle for just a few seconds would drain almost all of his pet beasts’ mana—and that was with no demon beasts inside it. It seemed improving his mastery of Three Heads, Six Arms was a top priority.
…
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Well, two years for the outside world—over a decade for Lin Jing.
Thanks to the Hourglass of Time, he had cultivated for many more years.
Within the hourglass world, he dedicated himself to mastering the Three Heads, Six Arms technique. With Senior Sister’s help and the insights recorded in the Demon Court, he finally reached a decent level of mastery, allowing him to better control multiple high-grade Myriad Beast Circles.
Although he still couldn’t unleash the full power of the Seven-Star Beast God Circle, with the ever-growing mosquito swarm, simply keeping their aggression in check was no longer a problem.
"No wonder the Ten Terrors of Cloud Sea are so feared. Their reputation is well deserved…"
Over the past two years, the mosquito swarm’s reproduction speed exceeded all expectations. With no resource constraints or natural predators, and by constantly absorbing the blood of Demon Kings and Demon Emperors, their numbers finally reached the ten-billion mark.
Even in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, such a mosquito swarm would be extremely rare.
"I’m already over sixty years old now…" Lin Jing sighed.
Although he had spent most of his time in seclusion, making him feel no real change in age, he still thought of himself as a man in his twenties.
With everything in place, Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao were ready to attempt their first Demonic Transformation Plan—
Using the ten-billion mosquito swarm to help a single mosquito beast undergo Tribulation of Transformation!
…
In a secluded valley within the Holy Maiden’s palace, inside a formation, dense mosquito swarms covered the mountains.
Lin Jing stood at the center, maintaining his Three Heads, Six Arms form, resembling a demon god. His three heads and six arms swayed as he manipulated the Beast God Circle to suppress their aggression.
Unfortunately, at his current level, merely keeping the ten-billion mosquitoes in check was his limit—he still couldn’t command them in battle. But for now, this was enough.
At the center of the valley, a carefully selected mosquito beast stood amidst the resonating bloodline of the swarm. Its body pulsed with blood energy, no longer limited to the Qi Refinement Stage.
As Lin Jing fed it Transformation Grass to attract tribulation, Lightning-Avoiding Pill to increase resistance, Gluttonous Pill to aid digestion, and Royal Blood Pill to temporarily enhance its bloodline and physical strength, thunder rumbled above.
"Will it succeed?" Xu Qingyao stood at the edge of the formation, tense.
Lightning flashed across the valley, making the mosquito swarm restless. If not for the Myriad Beast Circle’s suppression, they would have scattered long ago.
As for the mosquito beast undergoing transformation, it remained the center of Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao’s attention.
Compared to that previous failed mosquito beast, this one had a much stronger foundation. Even as its body was torn apart by the sea of lightning, it did not instantly turn to ash.
"Still not enough? Its base cultivation is too weak…"
However, as time passed, Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao’s hearts tensed—the mosquito beast’s aura grew weaker, its injuries worsened, and it seemed its body could no longer withstand the tribulation…
But in the next moment, their tense expressions turned to joy.
Just as the heavenly tribulation faded away, under the radiance of a crimson light, the heavily injured mosquito beast transformed into human form—
A Mosquito Woman with antennae and wings, a fiery figure, a bewitching face, and red-toned skin!
Her blood-red eyes blinked in confusion.
Once merely a bloodthirsty, mindless beast, she now possessed intelligence on par with humans.
As she gazed at the vast mosquito swarm surrounding her, her eyes finally landed on Lin Jing—the human who held overwhelming dominance over her bloodline.
