Not long after, cultivators from the Ancient Beast Taming Sect arrived at the Demon Court.
During this time, Lin Jing was searching for his new cave abode, planning to help Ice Soul Gu break through once he got there.
Now that his identity as the Demon Court Saint Heir was public, he naturally couldn't stay at his senior sister's place indefinitely; it was time to establish his own followers.
And for this, he needed a territory entirely of his own.
The battle at Heaven-Reaching City yielded rich rewards for Lin Saint Heir.
Nine Sky Profound, dozens of Divinity Transformation, and hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators perished at Heaven-Reaching City; the magical treasures, pills, heavenly materials and earth treasures they carried were all acquired by Lin Jing.
After a cursory glance, Lin Jing knew that although the resources they carried might not be all they had accumulated, it was enough to support one or two cultivators with qualified talents to cultivate to the Sky Profound stage.
For a cultivator with "lacking talent" like him, even if he couldn't reach Sky Profound, he felt he shouldn't have much trouble cultivating to the Divinity Transformation stage.
So, next, he just needed to slowly digest these resources, and he would definitely surpass his former longevity body.
Moreover, even a slight display of these resources was enough for Lin Jing to foster his own core followers.
Monster Capture Squad.
The Draconic Carp elixir divine technique required a constant stream of living beings for alchemy, and Lin Jing himself was destined to have little time to capture monsters, making it very important to have a power entirely his own.
Instead of asking others to help capture monsters, it's more suitable to train his own followers; the most important thing is loyalty!
He needs those who, even if he breaks ties with the Demon Court, will rebel with him against the court.
The first person Lin Jing chose was Gu Qianqiu, Lady of Longevity.
"Mid-stage Core Formation, not bad."
He arrived at Gu Qianqiu's cultivation site.
"Still too slow." Gu Qianqiu looked at Lin Jing, shook her head and said: "Not sure if I can break through to Nascent Soul within the time limit…"
"Lately, the outside world has been chaotic. Has something happened?" she asked.
"Yes, cultivators from the Ancient Beast Taming Sect have come to pledge allegiance to us."
Gu Qianqiu nodded slightly, Lin Jing continued: "I will leave this place soon, would you want to come with me?"
"Alright." Gu Qianqiu was surprised, then said: "I've long wanted to leave this Demon Court."
Lin Jing coughed lightly, "It's not about leaving the Demon Court, just leaving the territory of the Third Saintess. I was recently appointed as the Demon Court Saint Heir by His Majesty the Demon Emperor, so I'm planning to find my own domain."
Gu Qianqiu: "..."
"Demon Court Saint Heir???" She was bewildered, wondering why Xu Qingyao became the Demon Court Saintess due to her half-demon bloodline, and what was Lin Jing's reason...
"Are you also half-demon?"
She felt Lin Jing's aptitude wasn't quite human.
At the moment, Gu Qianqiu, due to her constant effort in cultivation, was not aware of external matters.
Bang.
Lin Jing took the head of the Celestial Lion Ancestor out of his storage bag and tossed it onto the ground.
Gu Qianqiu's pupils contracted.
"I created a method for demon beasts to transform forms, gaining the trust of the Demon Emperor, hence becoming the Demon Court Saint Heir. Also, not long ago, His Majesty the Demon Emperor helped me settle all my enemies, including the Celestial Lion Ancestor."
"Your great enemy has been avenged; what are your thoughts next?"
Looking at the Celestial Lion Ancestor's head, Gu Qianqiu's expression was a bit dazed.
"This is truly..."
She never imagined that the Celestial Lion Clan, which imprisoned her for a thousand years, would actually face annihilation.
After her expression changed multiple times, Gu Qianqiu wanted to cry. However, after being treated as blood food by the Celestial Lion Clan for a millennium, she didn't know how many times she had cried, having long lost the ability to shed tears.
After slightly calming down, Gu Qianqiu slowly spoke.
"I said that once the Celestial Lion Clan was destroyed, my life would be yours..."
"Didn't you say you wanted to establish a Monster Capture Squad, to refine those violent demon beasts into pills... I'll help you." She calmly looked at Lin Jing.
Lin Jing smiled slightly, "Been waiting for you to say that. From today, you are the captain of the 'Monster Capture Squad,' but until you break through to Nascent Soul, don't get involved in capturing monsters."
"Someone else will handle that."
"Someone else?"
"Yes, let's go. The territory of the Demon Court Saint Heir will have better cultivation environments than this place. Next, we need to bring along the deputy captain of the Monster Capture Squad, who is the Fourth Saintess of the Demon Court, the first born demon in this world."
Then.
Lin Jing, accompanied by Gu Qianqiu, arrived at Mosquito Valley, where the Mosquito Maiden, leading a Ten Billion Mosquito Army, had been waiting for some time.
"Greetings to His Highness the Saint Son." The Mosquito Maiden knelt down, respectfully looking at Lin Jing. Gu Qianqiu looked at this massive army of mosquitoes, her heart stirred.
"I am about to leave, and you will follow me to a new dwelling." Lin Jing said. The Mosquito Maiden and the mosquito swarm controlled by the Seven-Star Beast God Circle were the second force he planned to incorporate.
Although the Mosquito Maiden previously chose to serve him as a maid due to the Demon Emperor's might, now that she had developed intelligence, she would gradually have her own thoughts.
Facing the Demon Emperor's oppression, compliance was mere fear; next, he would slowly change the Mosquito Maiden's mindset, letting her loyally serve him willingly.
"In due course, I will form a Monster Capture Squad with you as the deputy captain. Perform well, and you'll be rewarded." He threw a formation flag, "This is a high-grade magical treasure that can complement your cultivation technique. It is also a spatial equipment containing many Nascent Soul Demon Kings' blood, enough for your cultivation."
"If you do well, there will be Demon Emperor's Blood or Demon Ancestor's Blood in the future."
"Additionally, this is the captain of the Monster Capture Squad, Gu Qianqiu. During my absence, listen to her commands."
The Mosquito Maiden excitedly received the formation flag.
This was one of Lin Jing's spoils of war, which he himself didn't need, so he awarded it to the Mosquito Maiden.
The Mosquito Maiden had now cultivated in the Demon Court technique, which was inherited from the ancient demon race's strategist to command armies, belonging to the array Dao demon technique "Demon Array Map," allowing the demon army to exert stronger power, very suitable for the Mosquito Maiden commanding the mosquito swarm.
"As you command, Your Highness the Saint Son." The Mosquito Maiden was delighted that inside the formation flag were countless Nascent Soul Demon King blood... enough for her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
These blood resources seized as spoils were perfect for fostering the mosquito army and the Mosquito Maiden.
However, after receiving the reward, the Mosquito Maiden instinctively looked at Gu Qianqiu, feeling dissatisfied. This woman wasn't stronger than her, aside from being extremely appealing, making her want to take a bite, why should she be above her, able to give her orders...
"I must capture monsters well, so His Highness the Saint Son appoints me as the captain of the Monster Capture Squad..."
Currently, all clans of the Demon Court are striving to capture monsters, with those powerful demon beasts with ill intentions towards Lin Jing being the targets. However, even with the Demon Court's strongest forces, they can't be all caught, so now is an excellent period for capturing monsters.
This mosquito army should start working very well.
After attending to the Mosquito Maiden, Lin Jing returned to his senior sister's palace, gathered his things, and took away the last items.
A little boy with four white mice on his shoulders.
Test subjects of the Transformation Pill—Mouse Child.
Lin Jing didn't expect them to capture monsters either, given their weak strength. Still, their abilities would be well-suited for planting trees and creating forests to enhance the rich spiritual Qi once they reached the new territory.
"Your Highness the Saint Son..."
"Let's go."
