"Perhaps I could have them both comprehend the Path of Determination, and then, when I borrow the power of the senior, merge with them. In this way, their comprehension could be utilized by me."

Lin Jing found that being a Beast Master was indeed a good profession; even paths unsuitable for oneself could be learned by pet beasts.

As long as the pet beasts learned it, it essentially meant that he himself had learned it.

"There's no other choice." The Ghost Bride, Tang Ling, also considered this approach the best choice for now.

"Let's go." She looked ahead at a pagoda shrouded in gray ghostly aura.

Once a sacred place of Buddhism, it has now been completely occupied by ghostly beings...

In fact, besides the Ghost Bride, innumerable ghostly beings were hidden in Ghost City. However, due to the Ghost Bride's strength, when she appeared, these ghostly beings would hide themselves, not daring to show their faces.

And now, they too are approaching their apocalypse. In order to create a quiet environment for Lin Jing's cultivation, upon the Thunder Dragon Ancestor's command, the Thunder Dragon prodigies pulling the chariot flew directly to various places in Ghost City...

...

Within Ghost City, the Ghost Bride stood atop the pagoda, closed her eyes, and continuously emitted her thoughts, the intense thoughts containing the Path of Determination she mastered.

The different levels of the pagoda became the cultivation spots for Lin Jing and the others, the Path of Void Profound, even just touching a thread on the outermost side, strongly influenced the minds of Pine Leaf Mouse and the others.

It manifested in them as the Ghost Bride using her path to eliminate the determination of Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu.

"Squeak..."

Sitting cross-legged at the pagoda, the robed Pine Leaf Mouse looked solemn, its expression constantly changing, its mind and brain undergoing a celestial battle, feeling itself slowly losing its determination to hoard resources.

Suddenly, in a certain moment, it thought perhaps hoarding resources so immensely wasn't that meaningful, continuously denying its behavior over the years.

Its greatest wish in cultivation was to have an extraordinarily huge storage space and fill it with things, but now, it suddenly didn't know what the meaning of doing so was.

Ice Soul Gu was in the same situation, starting to ponder if its competitiveness was overly mundane. Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp were both Treasure Beasts bestowed with divine techniques by the Immortals, while although a miraculous gu created by the Gu God Sect, Ice Soul Gu was ultimately just the intellectual crystallization of a mortal gu cultivator, a creation from the lower realm.

In such circumstances, being unable to defeat Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp was quite normal. Compared to other lives on the Celestial Essence Continent, it was already very strong; there was no need to contend with Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp, maintaining the status quo wasn't bad...

The determination of both was being destroyed.

However, the Ghost Bride didn't release her thoughts solely to destroy Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu; rather, the main purpose was to assist them in strengthening their own determination.

If the Ghost Bride exerted herself fully, Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu would suffer damage to their Dao hearts and lose the motivation to cultivate. But now, the Ghost Bride controlled her power well, keeping her influence at a level weaker than their determination.

In this way, Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu could remain in a state of inner contention; as long as they both held firm to their core, keeping their determination to hoard resources and be the strongest, it would be strengthened.

Until this determination subsequently influences their battles, cultivation, and has a positive urging effect on them.

"Is it an opportunity to comprehend the path of a Void Profound Cultivator? This time, Dragon Carp shouldn't miss the opportunity, considering it has the Demon Emperor accompanying it in cultivation at Immortal Burial Volcano; its opportunity should be the greatest."

"I wonder how it's going."

Lin Jing looked towards the direction of Immortal Burial Volcano, sensing that Dragon Carp had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

After contemplation, Lin Jing enveloped himself in golden light, letting the Magic Mushroom transmute the waves of Indestructible Golden Body upon him, intending to delve into the Indestructible Golden Body here.

...

Several months later.

Immortal Burial Volcano.

On a volcanic crater, the Demon Emperor sat cross-legged here, within the volcano, countless white flames flowed like rivers, a small carp rolled arduously within them, allowing the flames to scorch its body.

The Demon Emperor's divine sense continually rested upon Dragon Carp, through the exterior, she saw that outside Dragon Carp's demon pill, countless forces of bloodline had begun to condense into an illusory form of a small carp.

"Entered the Illusion Spirit Stage?"

The Illusion Spirit Stage, a transitional phase between Golden Core and Nascent Soul, when the Nascent Soul hasn't fully formed, but it already possesses some Nascent Soul power.

"Refining the Immortal Burial Fire, its bloodline strength should be able to ascend to Ancestor Realm."

Through sensing Dragon Carp's illusion spirit power, the Demon Emperor made a judgment.

The formation of Nascent Souls between human races and demon beasts, due to racial differences, actually occurs in two distinct ways.

For demon beasts forming nascent souls, the demon pill does not shatter; instead, using the force of bloodline, relying on the demon pill, it forms a protective outer shell of a demon infant outside the demon pill.

Whereas human cultivators form nascent souls, it's the true essence condensing within the Golden Core, eventually emerging from the core, hatching a Dao infant.

Both methods have advantages; the Nascent Soul of demon beasts exerts a stronger oppressive effect, their demonic might can threaten even lower or same-level cultivators with scarcely any consumption, akin to the king among beasts, instilling fear.

Thus, Nascent Soul stage demon beasts are also known as Demon Kings.

Conversely, the human Nascent Soul cultivators don't have such a strong oppressive force; however, they can combine true essence with nascent soul to exhibit a nascent soul manifestation, like a robust divine armor enveloping the cultivator, greatly enhancing their attack and defense, facilitating spell casting and amplifying the spell's power!

With intense eyes, as she contemplated when the Dragon Carp, activating its ancestral blood, would grow into a true Demon Ancestor Realm, becoming a mighty general in the Demon Court, suddenly, her brow furrowed as she glanced outside the Celestial Essence Realm.

At this moment, not only her, but every cultivator on the Celestial Essence Continent who had reached the Realm of Inquiry could sense a bizarre phenomenon, as if the realm wall of the Celestial Essence Realm was being impacted by something!

"So... fast?"

In the direction of an Ancient Country, the Second Ancient Emperor looked outside, his heart stirred.

A few years ago, the Lord of the Demon Court brought intelligence, informing the Celestial Essence Realm's numerous Realm of Inquiry experts of the Celestial Demon Sect's ambitions. To prepare for the impending invasion, the Celestial Essence Realm initiated the Golden Era, hoping to enhance the realm's foundation over thousands, or even hundreds of years.

But who knew, after just a few short years, the Second Ancient Emperor felt as though someone wanted to breach the realm's barricade and descend upon the Celestial Essence Realm.

Although it appeared the attempt ended in failure, it's still an ominous sign.
