Vol 5 Chapter 60: Rare Beast Divine Abilities

Age

The inheritance of celestial beast divine abilities in the Immortal Realm truly correlates with age.

Lin Jing recalled Old Man Heavenly Secrets' deduction—it seemed his inference was correct.

Considering the Ice Soul Gu, even just counting this lifetime, its age was actually quite advanced.

If accounting for its previous reincarnations, its age was even greater, absolutely disqualifying it from being considered a young beast.

Lin Jing couldn't help but look at the Ice Soul Gu with regret.

Sensing Lin Jing's gaze, the Ice Soul Gu widened its eyes in alarm.

What what what...

"Senior, since divine ability inheritance has higher compatibility with young beasts, requiring less effort from you and having higher success rates, that means it's not absolutely impossible for it to acquire Rare Beast Divine Abilities, right?"

Lin Jing looked at the Ice Soul Gu.

He had indeed momentarily considered finding a young beast—after all, one purpose of his trip to the Star Dust Realm was to acquire a juvenile Star Beast.

But to make his old companion sacrifice this rare opportunity to grow stronger for the sake of some unknown new beast... he simply couldn't bear it.

"Even if the awakened Rare Beast Divine Ability is weaker with fewer options available, I wonder if Senior could help it awaken the Rare Beast bloodline?" Lin Jing still wanted the Ice Soul Gu to try first.

Even if it only received the inheritance of a True Immortal-grade Celestial Beast, Lin Jing would accept it—he couldn't betray the Ice Soul Gu's expectations.

Moreover, his original purpose in seeking a young beast was gambling on whether it could awaken the Rare Beast bloodline.

If he gave this 100% awakening opportunity to a new beast, it would defeat the whole purpose of gambling!

"Waaah!!!" The Ice Soul Gu shed tiny ice pearls as it looked at Lin Jing.

"Don't look at me—Senior, is this possible?" Lin Jing asked the mysterious immortal, who now fell into deep thought.

"Up to you, but I can't guarantee it'll find suitable Rare Beast bloodline!"

"For better plasticity, the Celestial Demon Mountain naturally prioritizes young beasts with fate connections for inheritance..."

"No problem." Lin Jing cupped his fists. "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

"Oh, right." Lin Jing suddenly remembered something. "Senior, are you familiar with the Flame Emperor Divine Ability?"

"My other contracted beast also has Rare Beast bloodline and obtained the Flame Emperor inheritance. This divine ability must be quite formidable too!"

Curious, Lin Jing summoned the Dragon Carp, whose eyes sparkled with starlight.

The Flame Emperor Divine Ability—just hearing the name sounded impressive! Could it be that some Immortal Emperor later successfully projected their inheritance down, which it coincidentally obtained?

"Flame Emperor..." The mysterious fuzzy immortal glanced at the Dragon Carp. "There does seem to be such a divine ability."

"But it's rather weak—just a True Immortal-grade Celestial Beast inheritance. Its ceiling is far below the Glazed Immortal Eye."

Dragon Carp: QAQ??

"WHATTTTT!!!!" The Dragon Carp panicked. What? Just a True Immortal inheritance?!

True Immortals were the weakest immortals!

All newly ascended were True Immortals!

It thought the Flame Emperor Divine Ability was quite powerful, not inferior to the Pine Leaf Mouse's Glazed Immortal Eye—how could it be the lowest grade inheritance?

Even if not at Immortal Emperor level, it should at least be Immortal King grade, or Immortal Lord at minimum!

The Pine Leaf Mouse gave the Dragon Carp a glance and shook its head.

The Ice Soul Gu froze momentarily before also shaking its head. It seemed even receiving the most ordinary immortal-grade inheritance wouldn't be so bad after all.

After all, it too had thought the Dragon Carp's Flame Emperor Divine Ability quite strong.

"That weak?" Lin Jing was equally surprised.

The fuzzy immortal explained: "It's also related to how recently the Flame Emperor Divine Ability's owner ascended. That was an arrogant little demon who kept boasting about having Immortal Emperor potential, giving all its divine abilities exaggerated names. Though its talent was indeed exceptional—a rising star of Celestial Demon Mountain. Given time, while Immortal King isn't guaranteed, reaching Immortal Lord shouldn't be difficult."

"While the Flame Emperor Divine Ability isn't remarkable in the Immortal Realm, having certain limitations like inability to endlessly fuse flames, in the lower realm it should be considered quite powerful. Some Immortal Lord-grade inheritances might even be inferior to it in terms of pure might."

It tried comforting the Dragon Carp, who remained somewhat disheartened.

"Alright, that's enough." Lin Jing regretted asking, but it didn't matter—in the lower realm, obtaining immortal-grade flames in advance and freely switching flame attributes with the Flame Emperor Divine Ability had proven extremely useful, greatly aiding their alchemy and artifact forging which fundamentally relied on fire.

"Please help it awaken the Rare Beast bloodline, Senior." Lin Jing returned to the main matter.

The fuzzy immortal said: "Easy. First make an oath."

"Swear in the name of the Glazed Immortal King's successor: If I awaken the Rare Beast bloodline for you all, you must fulfill our agreement—when the eye technique reaches mastery, restore my true form!"

To swear using the Glazed Immortal King successor's identity...

Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse exchanged glances—these matters seemed too distant. Casually raising a paw, they made the oath.

Satisfied with the pledge, the fuzzy immortal nodded and summoned the Ice Soul Gu forward.

Then, through some unknown demonic method, the sky around them suddenly darkened as starlight shimmered. The fuzzy immortal separated glowing filaments that descended upon the nervous Ice Soul Gu—the next instant—

It felt violently plunged into stellar illusions, its pupils piercing through darkness to behold hundreds of dazzling stars in the cosmos!!!

Sharing its perception, Lin Jing similarly saw these eerie demonic stars filling the sky—among hundreds, three shone with particular brilliance!

"See? I told you it's too old."

"The Celestial Demon Mountain inheritances it can perceive are limited—no Immortal King-grade ones, possibly already claimed by others."

"But fortunately, there are three Immortal Lord-grade ones."

"Don't bother sensing the True Immortal-grade ones—quickly perceive those three Immortal Lord-grade Celestial Beast/Demon inheritances! Choose one swiftly."

The fuzzy immortal's voice grew urgent and strained, making Lin Jing and the Ice Soul Gu focus intensely.

Though only three inheritances remained, having Immortal Lord-grade options already exceeded their expectations.

Perceive!

Under Lin Jing's urging, the Ice Soul Gu rapidly perceived—details of three divine abilities materialized in its mind.

Unlike ordinary immortal techniques from the Immortal Realm requiring personal cultivation, these Rare Beast Divine Ability inheritances were directly imparted by supreme experts transferring their experiential knowledge, allowing inheritors to reach heights nearly matching the original owners with minimal deviation.
