Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 196 Touching the Spirit

"That's amazing."

Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue in amazement, even sensing Yun Que's reluctance to leave him.

A wisp of divine consciousness, empowered by the Myriad Spirits Technique, reattached itself to a koi carp in a stream in the Beast Taming Peak.

The koi was quite intelligent; it seemed to have sensed Yu Changsheng's presence, and it nimbly flicked its tail and swam upwards.

Hello, little koi fish.

Yu Changsheng chuckled and, on a whim, greeted them.

The koi blinked, and its tail swung even faster.

"Can I ride you? Take me around."

Yu Changsheng continued to spread goodwill, and the Myriad Spirits Technique within his body circulated even faster. From all around him, beams of light surged into his body, and his sea of ​​consciousness became clear.

The koi bobbed its head up and down as if in agreement, its red scales shining beautifully in the water and sunlight.

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly and attached the spiritual essence contained within his own to the koi's head. With a thought, the koi swam along, and Yu Changsheng's vision shifted to that of the koi.

"Is this the world as seen through a fish's eyes?"

Yu Changsheng sighed, and the underwater scene naturally appeared in his mind. The stream was not rapid, and the water was very clear. As his vision changed, the cool feeling in the water spread throughout Yu Changsheng's body, as if at this moment Yu Changsheng had truly become this koi.

Of course, Yu Changsheng could reject this feeling.

The water shimmered and remained calm until, after a short while, the current became slightly faster, and the sensation of this change was simultaneously transmitted to Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Making it a fish wouldn't be bad either."

Yu Changsheng thought lazily, as the Myriad Spirits Technique within his body circulated even more smoothly.

"Shh...keep your voice down. Look, what a huge, colorful koi fish! You're so lucky! This stuff is delicious."

"Yes, yes, watch me stick it in, hehe, we can have grilled fish tonight. This little thing has such delicious meat."

Suddenly, two discordant voices came from the shore. Yu Changsheng frowned slightly and looked up across the water. He saw two young disciples from the Beast Taming Peak looking down at each other, and they made eye contact with the koi.

The koi carp were blowing bubbles, while one of the disciples held a tree branch with one end sharpened. A wisp of blue light appeared in his palm and spread to the branch. The sharp energy startled the water surface, and ripples spread out in circles.

"Silly fish, why aren't you running away?"

The disciple chuckled, and the next moment he suddenly exerted force, sending the branch in his hand hurtling towards the koi at lightning speed. At such close range, in an instant, the branch transformed into a blue light, piercing through the water's surface and splashing water as it plunged into the koi below the stream.

"Heh, wishful thinking."

Yu Changsheng chuckled coldly. A sense of life-or-death crisis was transmitted from the koi to Yu Changsheng's senses. The two sensations were synchronized. Therefore, under this crisis, Yu Changsheng had a thought. He activated the Myriad Spirits Technique to comfort the koi while also smoothly taking over control of it.

"Touch the spirit, control the spirit!"

A glint flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes. His divine sense transformed into spirit, and with the blessing of the Myriad Spirits Technique, without any hindrance, the fish's tail suddenly swung forward, stirring up waves. At the same time, the fish's body swam forward rapidly under the force of the impact, moving at an incredible speed, almost becoming a blur, narrowly missing the tree branch.

"squeak!!"

The next instant, the branch didn't pierce the koi, but instead stuck into the rocks at the bottom of the stream. The rocks cracked, and the branch stood upright on them, like a javelin in the water.

Its power was unimaginable; if Yu Changsheng hadn't taken over, this koi would probably have already met its demise.

"What the hell?"

The two disciples were stunned, standing there wide-eyed, speechless with disbelief.

As he dodged the attack, the sense of impending death dissipated, replaced by a surge of anger that permeated Yu Changsheng's entire being.

"You like playing that much?"

Yu Changsheng sneered, his anger rising uncontrollably. With a sudden jerk of his tail underwater, the fish's body leaped high into the air, out of the water, taking advantage of the disciple's momentary daze.

*Smack!*

The fish tail suddenly lashed out in mid-air, flying right in front of the disciple. Before he could react, it swiftly lashed his cheek with its tail.

The sound of the slap was crisp and powerful. The disciple's cheeks turned red quickly, and the fish tail mark was clearly visible.

The other disciple was stunned, his expression blank.

After doing all this, the koi quickly darted back into the water, turned back and blew bubbles at the two disciples as if to provoke them, before swimming away.

"What happened?"

It took the disciple a long time to react. Touching his swollen, red left cheek, he was completely dumbfounded.

"That colorful koi fish seems to be mocking us?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After a long pause, another disciple swallowed hard and said blankly.

"Has this world gone mad? This is only a Tier 1, Level 1 practical spirit beast?! And it actually managed to kill me?"

The disciple, stunned by the slap, stared blankly. When he came to his senses, he looked on in disbelief.

Due to his cultivation level, the koi's attack did not cause him any real harm, and the fish mark on his face quickly disappeared.

However, it has zero offensiveness but is extremely insulting.

"Is this some kind of ghost?"

The two exchanged a glance, staring at each other in bewilderment. A chill ran down their spines simultaneously.

"mock up."

Yu Changsheng snorted, feeling much more at ease. As the koi continued to swim happily, he could feel that after this incident, the koi was more affectionate towards him and easier to control.

After a moment of reflection, Yu Changsheng withdrew from this state, retracted his divine sense, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"The Myriad Spirits Technique is a cultivation method that draws upon the spirit of all things in heaven and earth, bringing one with them and becoming one with the universe..."

Yu Changsheng pondered, seemingly lost in thought.

"This perfectly matches my affinity with spirit beasts, complementing and reinforcing each other. No wonder my master said it's the most suitable cultivation method for me."

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, a smile appearing on his lips: "Not bad, this technique is good, interesting. However, the reason I was able to sense the myriad spirits so smoothly is probably largely because this is within the Myriad Manifestations Sect..."

"And I am naturally blessed by the fortune of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, which is why I was able to succeed so smoothly. If I were outside, it would be much more difficult."

Yu Changsheng suddenly realized that when he activated the Myriad Spirits Technique to touch the spirit, his seventh-level Qi Luck Platform had been slowly heating up, which must have been taking effect.

"and……"

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned as he thought to himself:

"Furthermore, when I was controlling the koi fish, my emotions were off. Why...did I get so angry?"
