Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 118 The Past of the Myriad Manifestations Sect

"If I can successfully form a contract with it, with my cheat-like abilities, is it possible for me to advance into a true divine beast, the Xuanwu?!"

Yu Changsheng's mind raced, and his heart burned with excitement as he thought of this.

"Forget it, what's the use of thinking so much? How could such a being willingly form a contract with me?"

Suppressing this unrealistic idea, Yu Changsheng regained his composure.

Why are you suddenly so agitated?

Old Wei gave Yu Changsheng a strange look, clearly noticing the sudden change in Yu Changsheng's emotions.

"Hehe," Yu Changsheng chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing, I'm just a little excited because it's the first time I've heard about a divine beast."

"Since the Xuan Turtle Ancestor is so powerful, why was he sealed away?" Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, feeling puzzled.

"That's a long story."

Old Wei took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and continued slowly, "Logically speaking, given the strength of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor, it would be impossible for the Myriad Manifestations Sect alone to seal him, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"To be precise, this seal was requested by the Xuan Turtle Ancestor himself."

Faced with Yu Changsheng's curious gaze, Elder Wei gathered his thoughts. "We don't know the specific reason, but we do know that a thousand years ago, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor was seriously injured and happened to encounter our first peak master of Beast Taming Peak, who was also our ancestor, a genius in beast taming and cultivation, Wei Zhenggui!"

"One," Elder Wei pondered for a moment, then affirmed, "a true genius who will usher in a new era of beast taming for our sect!"

"At that time, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor was already on the verge of death. As a genius in beast taming, Master Wei naturally couldn't bear to see such a strange beast die like this, so he came up with a plan."

"That is, by using a seal, we can stop the loss of life force of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor. At the same time, the seal is also a healing formation! It locks the life of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor in the mountains, rivers and lakes, and his body will then attract the essence of heaven and earth, the power of the earth and mountains, and the four seas and eight wastelands over a long period of time to suppress the injuries and slowly recover."

"At the same time, its soul will separate from its body, and it will not fall into irreversible weakness due to the injury to its body."

"This is an extremely powerful formation. Its name is the Formation of Longevity with the Earth! It was obtained by Master Wei from the ruins when he was practicing it in his early years. At that time, only this method could save the life of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor."

A glint flashed in Old Wei's eyes as he spoke slowly, his tone filled with emotion, seemingly also shocked by this domineering method.

"A formation that lasts as long as the earth?" Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue inwardly. Just from the name, he could tell how amazing and heaven-defying this method was.

"This was a brilliant idea, and in fact, everything proceeded smoothly. At that time, including Master Wei, a total of eight Purple Mansion True Lords were brought in to cast spells together. At a great cost, they successfully sealed away the Xuan Turtle Ancestor!"

"Fortunately, perhaps the Xuan Turtle Ancestor is indeed a descendant of Xuanwu, an auspicious beast favored by heaven and earth. Its destiny is strong enough to withstand such a method that is intolerable to heaven and earth, and it has successfully saved its life."

"In return, Ancestor Xuan Turtle was not stingy, voluntarily offering up his own fortune and blessings, leaving behind many astonishing techniques for my Myriad Manifestations Sect. It was precisely because of these amazing resources that my Myriad Manifestations Sect, at its most glorious moment, became a holy land for cultivation in Wuzhou! There were countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, Golden Core cultivators were not uncommon, nearly ten Purple Mansion True Monarchs, and even a Nascent Soul Venerable was present!"

"And my Beast Taming lineage is renowned and glorious in this world!"

At this point, Old Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, his pride evident.

"So there's such a secret?" Yu Changsheng's body trembled, realizing that he had heard a great secret.

In just a moment, Elder Wei let out a low sigh, filled with regret:

"It's just a pity that this glory didn't last long. Once people and sects reach their peak, other thoughts will arise."

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng's expression turned serious.

"At that time, after Ancestor Wei, another prodigy emerged in our Beast Taming lineage—Cao Jinxian! His talent was highly regarded by Ancestor Wei, and thus, naturally, he not only became a candidate for sect leader at the time, but also the third-generation peak master of our Beast Taming Peak!"

When Mr. Wei spoke of this past event, his tone contained a complex mix of emotions, including nostalgia, regret, and even resentment.

Yu Changsheng listened even more attentively, without saying a word. What he was hearing now were all secrets of the sect, things that even ordinary elders probably couldn't know in such detail.

This made Yu Changsheng even more curious: "Knowing so much, what exactly is Elder Wei's identity?" However, he naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to ask.

"The turning point and change also started with Cao Jinxian. At that time, Cao Jinxian had only been cultivating for more than fifty years, but he had already successfully reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm. He had also mastered two paths. His swordsmanship was superb and unmatched. At the same time, his beast-taming skills were about to surpass his master."

"His combat prowess is earth-shattering. Whether it is beast taming or swordsmanship, each individual skill, although not at the Nascent Soul stage, is comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. When combined, they are virtually invincible."

Old Wei sighed endlessly, his words conveying both boundless admiration and deep regret for the third-generation Beast Taming Peak Master.

"At that time, everyone in the sect was dissatisfied with him and placed their hopes on him, believing that he could lead the sect to a more prosperous peak and placing high hopes on him."

"It's a pity that this prodigy was too anxious and too arrogant. In the end, his actions did not make the sect more prosperous and glorious, but instead dragged himself and the sect into the abyss."

Old Wei shook his head, his eyes darkened, and his emotions returned to calm.

"Sometimes, when people are too dazzling, they become blinded by the halo bestowed upon them by the outside world. Cao Jinxian, after becoming the sect leader, used the excuse of going into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage to deceive everyone and do something earth-shattering, yet incredibly foolish!"

Old Wei chuckled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"His biggest mistake was setting his sights on the Xuan Turtle Ancestor. At that time, thanks to the Earth-Longevity Formation, and with the sect's continued prosperity, the Xuan Turtle Ancestor gradually escaped the danger of falling, and his injuries were basically stable. Everything was developing in a positive direction."

"And Cao Jinxian, arrogant and proud, actually deceived everyone and, taking advantage of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor's slumber, attempted to forcibly form a contract with the Xuan Turtle Ancestor by using the seal, hoping to obtain its essence and blessings to break through and become the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator!"
