"I was wrong, the top prodigy truly deserves the title. Earlier, I was actually fantasizing whether Lin Jing could defeat him. Now that I think about it, how could that be possible? One is the top prodigy of the top sect in the Ancient Country, the Spirit Dao Sect, and the other is the Saint Heir of a third-rate sect, the Beast Taming Sect..."

"To be able to nurture such a pet beast is already a manifestation of the fortunes of the Beast Taming Sect, but ultimately, it is vastly different from the foundation of the Spirit Dao Sect!"

Chen Chong summoned the Technique Elemental Spirit, causing the Pine Leaf Mouse to freeze in place, unable to move, struggling to resist. Under such gravity, the arms spawned by the Pine Leaf Mouse directly broke off and shattered completely, only its body persisted with its formidable physique.

However, to human cultivators, such gravity is absolutely fatal.

Chen Chong looked at Lin Jing, and the audience also turned their gaze to Lin Jing.

Only to see, at this moment, Lin Jing still seated cross-legged on the shoulder of the Pine Leaf Mouse, seemingly unaffected!

Around him, from time to time, snowflake-like particles appeared, swirling around him, looking exceptionally splendid, making Lin Jing appear incredibly mysterious.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Lin Jing was unaffected by the gravity technique, enhanced by the Technique Elemental Spirit, Chen Chong froze momentarily, frowning.

This terrifying squirrel was affected by the gravity field, yet Lin Jing himself remained unaffected?

"The strange ice power has appeared again! What exactly is this?" Wang Xiao murmured amongst the Dragon Palace crowd.

"Wait a minute, this power can actually ignore Chen Chong's gravity technique?" Yan Xiangbei was startled, recalling how Lin Jing previously ignored the magic weapon of the Joyful Union Sect with an ice power, which he had dismissed at the time. But now, it indeed seemed peculiar.

"Even if you refine this technique to its extreme, Fellow Daoist Chen, you are not controlling actual gravity, but simulating gravity with True Essence. Since it is merely True Essence and not the great force of heaven and earth, as long as a method is found, it can be restricted." Lin Jing spoke as he sat on the Pine Leaf Mouse's shoulder as usual.

The ice power within him continuously emanated out, freezing the True Essence forming the gravity field surrounding him.

"Pine Leaf Mouse!"

With Lin Jing's command, the Pine Leaf Mouse, having hastily endured the massive gravity and yet to adapt, slowly but surely began to move again, extending its arm to reach for Chen Chong.

The scene fell silent, but as Chen Chong snorted, the gravity field contracted, and the large arm raised by the Pine Leaf Mouse slowly fell again, cracking with "ka-ka-ka" noises.

However, what surprised Chen Chong next was that the injuries on the Pine Leaf Mouse's true form instantly recovered, endowed with immense vitality, granting it the ability to heal injuries instantly. The Pine Leaf Mouse raised its arm once more to seize Chen Chong.

"Demon King's true form consumes tremendously. How long can you persist?"

Chen Chong placed the spherical Technique Elemental Spirit into the sky, the Pine Leaf Mouse's arm broke once again, controlled with just this one spirit, while Chen Chong himself turned his gaze to the unaffected Lin Jing, frowning still.

"Indeed."

"I underestimated the Technique Elemental Spirit."

"I had expected my Pine Leaf Mouse could withstand for a while, but now it seems its cultivation is still too low. Perhaps only upon reaching Foundation Establishment Great Perfection would it have a slight chance."

Lin Jing shook his head; under the terrifying gravity, the Pine Leaf Mouse's strength depleted rapidly, likely soon to lose its Demon King's true form, making it even harder to resist the gravity technique enhanced by the Technique Elemental Spirit.

"Therefore, you must have other cards up your sleeve, feel free to bring them out." Chen Chong spoke softly while looking at the snowflakes around Lin Jing.

The ice magic capable of blocking his gravity technique was definitely not that simple.

"No way." Meanwhile, among the Dragon Palace crowd, seeing this scene, Gao Sheng couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Lin Jing is really going to use that?"

Wang Xiao and others looked at him, not understanding what 'that' referred to.

"I originally didn't want to use it, but you're too strong, so it seems I have no choice." Lin Jing sighed.

The dialogue between the two made the audience feel puzzled and somewhat incredible. Could Lin Jing still have cards up his sleeve?

"No matter what cards he has, in this realm, there are few methods that can defeat the Technique Elemental Spirit!"

The elders and disciples of the Spirit Dao Sect arriving at the scene were full of confidence. Although Lin Jing was impressive, the Technique Elemental Spirit wasn't something that could be easily defeated. Yet, in the next moment, they suddenly felt a chill.

"There's no choice. First, I must attain victory." Lin Jing rose from the shoulder of the Pine Leaf Mouse, and at this moment, the temperature across the entire battlefield plummeted, not enough to harm the audience but indeed making one feel as if they've entered a freezing winter.

Lin Jing slowly detached from the Pine Leaf Mouse, and at this moment, he assimilated the power of the Ice Soul Gu, his True Qi and the power of the Ice Soul Gu fused together!

His black hair and black eyes instantly transformed into white hair and blue eyes.

Snow-white strands and azure ice eyes stunned the audience; the most shocking was Lin Jing's body suddenly erupting with a terrifying extreme cold power, instantly freezing the entire gravity field covering the ring!!!

In the sky, the cold air formed an even larger phantom towering into the clouds; it was a giant spider. Its numerous legs fell on the edge of the ring, and its body covered the sky above the ring. This entirely cold air-formed spider phantom directly froze the gravity field, making Chen Chong's soul shrink, showing an expression of disbelief.

"I think once the gravity field across the entire arena is frozen, the victory and defeat should be decided, right?"

Lin Jing's white hair fluttered in the cold wind as he spoke slowly.

At the moment his words fell, this was already achieved.

The Pine Leaf Rat instantly restored its ability to move.

"You———" Chen Chong stared at Lin Jing across from him with an incredulous gaze.

"Gu insect fusion, you have a Gu insect reared within your body, this power level... it's from the Ten Great Gu, the ice-type Ice Soul Gu!" Chen Chong couldn't understand how Lin Jing still had such a thing within him.

With Chen Chong's startled exclamation, all the cultivators in the audience stood up in shock, staring at the arena that had completely transformed into a world of ice and snow.

"Gu Master?"

"Demon Cultivator? Wait, both Buddhist and Demon cultivation?"

The gravity field froze, and behind the Pine Leaf Rat appeared a hundred arms, suddenly pounding towards Chen Chong.

After two years of practicing unity, Lin Jing had grown increasingly adept at exercising the power of the Ice Soul Gu. Just as Chen Chong attempted to recreate the gravity field, the chill on the arena instantly froze him into an ice sculpture.

In the next moment, as the fists and palms of the Hundred Style Demon Buddha Statue were about to descend, an elder of the Spirit Dao Sect suddenly surged from the audience.

"Stop." The Celestial Regret Flower glanced lightly at the elder of the Spirit Dao Sect, causing the elder to abruptly pause. Simultaneously, though Chen Chong shattered the ice at the fastest speed, he still inevitably watched, eyes wide as the plethora of Buddha's palms crashed down on him!

Boom!!!

The elder of the Spirit Dao Sect's pupils contracted, and the audience collectively fell silent. What had they just heard?

Gu insect? Ten Great Gu, Ice Soul Gu?

Some were not unfamiliar with the Ten Great Gu, each Gu was of the Gu Emperor's lineage, and once matured, could rival a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator.

The scariest aspect was that the Gu insect could merge with a Gu Master, unleashing unimaginable power, and it didn't require the Gu Master to be extraordinarily strong. As long as the Gu Master had a Divinity Transformation Realm, then upon merging, they could unleash the Power of Void Profound. During the Gu God Sect's peak among the three demon sects, all ten of the Great Gu were in the Gu God Sect's possession, providing at least ten warriors of Void Profound battle power.

And at this moment, it was unfathomable for the audience that such a Gu was under the control of a Qi Cultivation Cultivator—a cultivator who could perfectly wield it!

If it is such an entity...

After the overwhelming palms dispersed, Chen Chong floated in mid-air, wrapped in a repulsion sphere formed by Technique Elemental Spirit, unharmed by any mortal damages. Yet his gaze was filled with desolation.

"I lost, though I do not know why Fellow Daoist Lin wields the Ice Soul Gu, since you dare to show it here, your origins must be legitimate." He extended his arm, revealing a blue-purple ice mark that had appeared unwittingly.

During the torrential attack, even the protection by Technique Elemental Spirit had a slight breach, leaving Chen Chong unsure whether it was from this breach or during his freezing by extreme cold, yet regardless of when it occurred, he had been poisoned.

At this moment, Chen Chong could feel the Gu poison invading his entire body, it wouldn't be long before he succumbed to it.

Perhaps Spirit Dao Sect had solutions against the toxins of the Great Gu; however, for now, he lacked them, and further exerting mana would only worsen his situation.

"I concede."

"I, Lin, have broken through the limits of Qi Cultivation, and a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator may contract two pet beasts. This Ice Soul Gu is my second pet beast, obtained through exposing the Gu God Sect's conspiracy. It's currently under a contract suppressing the Master and approved by the Demon Extermination Bureau."

"Therefore, Elder of the Spirit Dao Sect, no need to panic."

Lin Jing looked towards the elder of the Spirit Dao Sect who had rushed out worried for Chen Chong.

The elder of the Spirit Dao Sect took a deep breath, looked complexly at Lin Jing, briefly clasped hands, then returned to his seat.

At this time, all cultivators present gazed at Lin Jing with incredulous eyes; could it be a joke...

This individual, the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect, had actually contracted one of the Ten Great Gu of the Gu God Sect?!!!

"You knew all along." The Dragon Palace crowd looked towards Gao Sheng.

A month prior, could it be that Lin Jing was using the Ice Soul Gu to freeze and relieve their pain?

At this instant, the Dragon Palace crowd felt as if they had traversed the gates of hell.

"Ha... ha..." Gao Sheng also took a deep breath; he was encountering the power of Ice Soul Gu for the first time. This power undeniably surpassed his expectations, befitting the stature of the Gu God Sect.

After casting a web, Lin Jing detoxified Chen Chong, then gazed at the other prodigies, especially the second prodigy Mo Qianyi, and slowly declared, "Anyone else wish to challenge?"

Mo Qianyi fell silent, this...

How many trump cards does this guy have?

"Can't win, best not go seeking trouble." The prodigy of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect twitched at the mouth, recalling his teacher's words.

"Your innate poison body may surpass all poisons, but only the toxin of the Ten Great Gu by the Gu God Sect remains undetectable, even after perfecting your toxin body! It's the pinnacle of poison research by the Gu God Sect, and during it, many innate poison bodies, ice spirit bodies froze to death!"

"His trump card turned out to be demon cultivation Gu techniques... Within the Ancient Country, how could there be such a monster, the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect? Should the Gu God Sect hidden within the Cloud Sea Mountain Range learn of this, they wouldn't make you a Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect; you might become the Saint Heir of the Gu God Sect instead." The prodigy of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect saw no hope in defeating Lin Jing in this state, as did most prodigies... It turned out that the Celestial Secret Tower's divination was indeed true.
