Vol 4 Chapter 27: The Straggler Fish
“Void Mystical ghost entity...”
A powerful ghost descended, and Cold Moon Sword Immortal managed to stay calm.
After all, she was now a Dao-Seeking personal disciple, the student of a peak sword cultivator,
and had plenty of life-saving techniques.
Among them was a life-saving sword intent at the Dao-Seeking Stage, gifted by her master, the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.
But now, Cold Moon Sword Immortal wasn’t quite sure how to judge this Void Mystical ghost entity.
Had its consciousness beco disordered?
It called her husband?
She was still an unmarried maiden—never mind not being married, even if she were, she wouldn’t marry a Ghost Bride.
“Hold on!”
“Ghost Bride!?”
Suddenly, Cold Moon Sword Immortal thought of sothing. Ghost Bride—in this Western Desert, there should be only one Void Mystical Ghost Bride.
A few days ago when she arrived in the Western Desert, she had already heard rumors.
Lin Jing, the Longevity Body, had also co to the Western Desert, seemingly for the Golden Light Gu.
To obtain the Golden Light Gu, Lin Jing used Buddhist techniques to seal a Void Mystical Ghost Bride, defeated countless Buddhist prodigies, and successfully acquired the Gu, making a na for himself across the Western Desert.
Later on, there was even so filthy creature suspected to be Lin Jing’s pet that defeated the monk Dao Hui, stirring up many speculations.
Cold Moon Sword Immortal was no longer surprised by Lin Jing’s antics.
But this Ghost Bride, could she be...
“What did you do to Lin Jing?” she questioned, her first thought being that the Ghost Bride had broken through Lin Jing’s seal and escaped.
If that were the case, wouldn’t Lin Jing be in danger?
“Lin Jing...?”
The Ghost Bride was still sizing up Cold Moon Sword Immortal, feeling out her presence to see if she was the one from her mories.
Who knew, this sword cultivator even knew Lin Jing.
Could she be Lin Jing’s sweetheart?
The Ghost Bride couldn’t accept that—her eyes turned red!
Although from the looks of it, the sword cultivator before her wasn’t the sa person she once knew.
But they were far too alike.
A descendant?
A reincarnation?
The Ghost Bride didn’t know, but she wasn’t going to let Lin Jing off easy... why was this guy everywhere?
“Don’t worry, he’s fine.” The Ghost Bride clenched her teeth.
Cold Moon Sword Immortal scrutinized her and spoke: “Didn’t he seal you? Why are you here?”
She quietly sent a ssage to Lin Jing.
But then discovered that she couldn’t reach him at all.
Two possibilities—either he was out of range of the communication artifact,
or Lin Jing was in so special place that blocked communication.
“He probably went to the Immortal-Burying Volcano. In that place, you won’t be able to contact him.” The Ghost Bride saw through Cold Moon Sword Immortal’s little action and spoke flatly.
“Carrying a spirit-infused sword in the Western Desert is extrely dangerous. There’s a creature nearby that specializes in devouring spirit artifacts. If you don’t mind, let accompany you for now, and I’ll explain slowly.”
..........
Immortal-Burying Volcano!
At this mont, Lin Jing had no idea that after he left, the Ghost Bride had actually encountered Cold Moon Sword Immortal.
Right now, he was listening to the slightly recovered Dragon Carp excitedly explain how it had subdued the Buddhist Son of the Solar Temple.
The Dragon Carp showed no signs of being injured—only an energetic spirit, eager to rush out and fight again.
What’s the point of training Immortal Fla alone? It wanted to temper it through clashes with the contenders on the Fortune Gold List!
“Calm down, you still can’t properly control Immortal Fla. What if you burn soone to death?”
“Besides, His Majesty the Demon Emperor set up a barrier here. Others can’t co in, and we probably can’t get out either.”
“We can only obediently train here until His Majesty returns.” Lin Jing shook his head.
“Dmn...” the light in Dragon Carp’s eyes dimd.
Can’t get out, huh...
Now that it had such strong power, the Dragon Carp didn’t feel like doing boring spell training. It wanted to stir things up like it did in Tongtian City. Unfortunately, the current environnt didn’t allow that.
“Dmn—” it howled at the sky, venting its feelings, hoping to add a little thrill to this quiet life.
Then—
Boom.
Sothing strange happened.
Lin Jing froze and looked up at the sky.
Dragon Carp also shot a sharp look upward.
A familiar vortex appeared in the sky. The sight of it made the Thunder Dragon Ancestor guarding the edge of the barrier widen his eyes and halt his instructions to the nine Thunder Dragon prodigies!
“A Cavern Heaven, a Cavern Heaven has appeared—it’s been summoned by His Highness the Holy Son.
“Unfortunately, the Cavern Heaven summoned is at the Core Formation level, so you nine won’t be able to benefit from it!”
The Cavern Heaven arrived extrely fast. At that mont, the Dragon Carp’s once-bored expression turned into joy.
Cavern Heaven!
As the Emperor Dragon Carp, it knew it was blessed with fortune. Boring cultivation at a volcanic crater was no fun—competing for fortune in the Cavern Heaven was what it was ant to do.
With a bang, the Cavern Heaven enveloped Lin Jing. The Dragon Carp also dived back into the Beast Taming Space. No matter how strong the Demon Emperor’s barrier was, it couldn’t override the Cavern Heaven opportunity created by the Immortal Palace.
Lin Jing was surprised during the teleportation. This Cavern Heaven... he seed to have noticed a pattern.
Every ti he arrived in a new place and broke through a new stage, it didn’t take long before a Cavern Heaven appeared. This ti... after reaching Core Formation and arriving in the Western Desert, sure enough, a Cavern Heaven was triggered again.
But this ti, Lin Jing didn’t need to hold back. He didn’t need to hide his identity, nor worry about retaliation after taking others’ opportunities—he could go all out in the Cavern Heaven.
Crack.
The Thunder Dragon Ancestor and others watched helplessly as Lin Jing was engulfed by the light beam of the Cavern Heaven and directly transported away, all wearing looks of envy.
But just a mont later—“pop!”—sothing unexpected happened.
From within the white light beam, a red Dragon Carp was bounced out. Dragon Carp stared blankly at the beam, totally confused.
It tried to charge back in with all its might, but went straight through—it didn’t work.
Frozen in place, Dragon Carp had a very bad feeling.
“This...” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor flew over and explained, “Your Highness Dragon Carp, it seems this Cavern Heaven is for the Core Formation stage. You’ve already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so you can’t enter.”
“This hasn’t happened before... When a Core Formation-level Beast Taming Cultivator contracts a Nascent Soul-stage pet beast, they’re usually considered one unit—but apparently, the realm rejection prioritizes the higher stage.”
“Pop??” Dragon Carp looked at him—can’t go in? You’re saying I can’t go in?
The Beast Tar, Pine Leaf Mouse, Ice Soul Gu—all of them went in. And you’re saying only it can’t go in??
“That seems to be the case. But no need to feel too bad, Your Highness. You have Immortal Fla now—there might not even be anything in the Cavern Heaven at that level worthy of you. It’s not really a big loss.” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor consoled.
Dragon Carp trembled slightly—really??
I’m smart, don’t try to fool .
“Sigh.” The Thunder Dragon Ancestor looked at the light beam, finding it quite troubleso. His Majesty the Demon Emperor had given the Holy Son a mission—during this ti, he was supposed to help Dragon Carp master the Immortal Fla. Now that the Holy Son had been pulled into the Cavern Heaven, relying on Dragon Carp alone to train seed a bit risky.
“If that’s the case, Your Highness Dragon Carp, let this old man help you train. Weren’t you saying earlier that you wanted to temper the Immortal Fla through battle? Coincidentally, I’ve never dealt with Immortal Fla either—let’s fight!” said the Thunder Dragon Ancestor.
Dragon Carp went silent, looking toward the Cavern Heaven. Deep down, it still felt cheated.
Its Beast Tar and other little partners went inside to snatch rare opportunities from a bunch of weak Core Formation cultivators, and it had to stay outside and brawl with an old Void Mystical dragon—what the h*ll was that about...
