Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 592 - 46: Seeking the Dao (Part 2)

Immortal Monarch-level pet beast egg requires a drop of immortal blood to hatch.

He already possessed an Immortal Body, theoretically considered an Immortal, so under normal circumstances, he should be able to hatch and claim it.

However, Lin Jing didn't expect the egg to require such a large amount of blood.

"They said a drop of immortal blood was needed to hatch it, but they didn't specify how much blood!" In front of Lin Jing, it seemed he could see the spirit of the mechanism explaining weakly.

"The blood was indeed absorbed by the egg, but there are still no signs of hatching. Could it be that, although I have the Immortal Body, my realm is ultimately too low, and the immortal power contained in my blood is insufficient to support the egg's hatching..."

Lin Jing fell into contemplation himself, overall feeling that this egg was simply a trap.

He directly stopped the bloodletting... Restoring his blood and energy was quite difficult, and every drop was extremely precious. He couldn't continue wasting it like this, or soon, his blood and energy would be exhausted, leading to a great loss of vitality and regression in cultivation.

Powerlessly sealing the egg in the deepest part of his internal space, Lin Jing sighed, deciding to wait until his cultivation level was higher before attempting to hatch it again. For now, he simply didn't have the capital to do so.

"What is my Dao, exactly?"

This question, Lin Jing had pondered in front of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor and the Ghost Bride. At that time, he was only at the Golden Core Stage, and now, a thousand years had passed, he still hadn't found an answer that satisfied him. Though his strength had long surpassed most who were in the Questioning Dao Stage, his exploration of his own Dao had always lagged behind.

"Looking at it from my experiences, preserving my life in a chaotic world, and being able to protect myself amidst various threats, seems to be my strongest thought in cultivation these days, but this..." Lin Jing was certain that this experience was only a result of circumstances, not the true Dao he wanted to cultivate.

Could it be, relying on immortal power, not exploring his true self, using force to question Dao?

He closed his eyes, beginning to question his own heart while improving his realm, what should he cultivate for next?

Unconsciously, Lin Jing's cultivation swiftly advanced to the mid Void Profound Stage.

The descending Celestial Tribulation was casually waved away by Lin Jing.

He continued to ponder over his future path.

Compared to Lin Jing, the pet beasts, with their simpler minds, didn't have as many thoughts.

With the Mechanical Turtle as a model, the pet beasts one after another integrated their Dao.

The accumulated foundation in the Source Realm could finally erupt.

The Pine Needle Mouse, looking back at its cultivation path, chose the way of hoarding, the Dao of the Hoarding Mouse. However, it wasn't merely hoarding itself, but like the Mechanical Turtle... cultivating Dao for others.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it practiced frugality, storing large amounts of resources for emergencies, providing assistance to the Beast Master, reversing unfavorable situations, and safeguarding Lin Jing's cultivation path with countless and varied resources.

As Lin Jing's earliest pet beast, it only wished that Lin Jing could always be well.

The Dragon Carp was the simplest and had a clear understanding of its own heart. Although it had always worked laboriously within the team, doing alchemy and artifact refining, the Dragon Carp had always held the heart of the strongest. Due to its pride in being part of the Dragon Race, it wanted to be the strongest trump card at Lin Jing's side, rather than being known as a famous Alchemist or mechanic.

It thought for a while and decided to pursue the "strongest Dao", continuing to cultivate with this as its goal. Although it disliked alchemy and artifact refining, if these methods could help it reach the strongest Dao, it was willing to endure the trials they brought.

Only, until one day, it wanted the entire Cultivation Realm, and even the whole Immortal Realm, to know that it, the Dragon Carp, was Lin Jing's most powerful trump card, not renowned as an imperial Alchemist, which was its biggest motivation to continue cultivating, and was the initial thought when Lin Jing helped it leap over the Dragon Gate to become a dragon, to become the strongest.

The Ice Soul Gu thought the least, as an artificially refined Gu insect, it was originally born to coexist with cultivators. When it first saw Lin Jing, it felt very appealing and wanted to sip a bit of Lin Jing every day to get by. However, as the contractual time of getting along lengthened, the Ice Soul Gu found that, although it didn't absorb much of Lin Jing's flesh and blood, Lin Jing, for its cultivation, indeed fed it with good things, like the nine great miraculous Gu, the Gu God's... inheritance of top powerhouses. He was completely generous with the Gu insect that coveted his flesh and blood. Slowly, the Ice Soul Gu got used to getting along with Lin Jing.

Its only wish was to cultivate and not separate from Lin Jing, living together.

This is the Dao of coexistence.

Compared to the straightforwardness of the previous four pets, the Star Longevity Crane did not choose to follow Lin Jing when he was weak, and their time together, although not short, over the past thousand years, Lin Jing focused more on cultivation and experienced less, unlike the times with the Pine Needle Mouse and others, where there were more experiences.

Thus, the Star Longevity Crane was relatively the most confused one.

She initially wanted to pursue the Dao of revenge, making revenge her greatest goal in cultivation, after all, the Prison Blood Demon God Legion of the Celestial Demon Realm had killed her parents and imprisoned her entire clan.

As a princess, she should inherit her parents' legacy and lead the entire clan to overthrow the enemy's rule, but after that, what?

The Star Longevity Crane asked herself.

When she first contracted, the Star Longevity Crane was only in her twenties, no different from a child. Unconsciously, she looked back and found, once again, that she had already regarded Lin Jing, who accompanied her in cultivating magic, and gave her new life, frequently using the Glazed Immortal Pupil to lay her foundation; the Pine Needle Mouse, who regularly sent cultivation pills helping her grow stronger; the Dragon Carp, and the Gu grandmother, who liked to nibble on her easily, stating they would take care of revenge in due time, as her new family members.
