Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 201 The Owner of the Xuan Tian Giant Sword

The value of the Four Swords of Annihilation is beyond doubt; it would be more than enough to exchange for a real Rejuvenation Pill.

However, Yu Changsheng understood that sometimes transactions cannot only consider the value of the goods; there are many other influencing factors as well.

Right now, he had taken out the scroll of the Four Swords of Annihilation, and Shen Xingchen did not hesitate to take it and examine it in his hand, while also handing the scroll in his hand to Yu Changsheng.

"This is?"

Yu Changsheng glanced at the scroll in his hand, then at Shen Xingchen's smiling face, somewhat puzzled.

"One thing at a time. Since Junior Brother Changsheng can be so willing to part with what he loves, then I can't be any less willing, can I?"

Shen Xingchen laughed heartily, then said seriously, "I think this cultivation technique should be of some help to Junior Brother Changsheng. It's just a precious gem gathering dust in my hands, so I might as well give it to you."

"Huh?" Yu Changsheng was taken aback.

"The method here may not be particularly noble, but it is very effective. It is probably not found in the sect. This is a method I practiced when I was taming beasts many years ago. I thought it would be suitable for Junior Brother Changsheng to practice, so I thought we could make an exchange."

Shen Xingchen explained calmly and evenly, her tone gentle and composed, her emotions also neutral.

Before Shen Xingchen entered the inner sect to become Lu Ruikai's disciple, he was a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, a fact that Yu Changsheng knew.

The method he had practiced back then piqued Yu Changsheng's interest, so he nodded, put away the scroll, and bowed to Shen Xingchen with clasped hands.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Shen. You're too kind."

"That's how it should be." Shen Xingchen waved his hand, "Let's hurry up and practice our training; more than half of the three hours have already passed."

"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded, carefully feeling the increase in his physical strength and cultivation. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively explored the inner circle.

With each step out, the heaviness emanating from the pool intensified, the sword energy became even more concentrated, and even the Xuan Tian Giant Sword in the center trembled almost imperceptibly, unleashing a vast and surging burst of sword energy.

However, with Yu Changsheng's physique already honed to its limit, the Thousand Mountains Technique, though still causing unbearable pain as if being cut by a knife, quickly alleviated the pain as his blood and qi flowed, preventing Yu Changsheng from losing his composure.

The second layer of the spiritual platform slowly solidified once again.

"That's really impressive. I wonder how my junior brother cultivates."

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen clicked his tongue in amazement and moved a little closer inside. Instantly, large beads of sweat streamed down Shen Xingchen's forehead, and his face contorted, showing that he was not in good pain.

"ah!"

Shen Xingchen gritted his teeth and let out a low breath, his skin quickly turning bright red. His breathing was momentarily erratic, but quickly returned to a long and powerful rhythm.

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and he gave Shen Xingchen a deep look. He didn't pay too much attention to him, but slowly closed his eyes and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique. While continuing to temper his physical body, he absorbed all the substances in the pool.

"It's just a pity that with the current physical strength of the Crimson Serpents, they are not able to withstand the baptism of this Sword Cleansing Pool. Otherwise, we could also release them to soak in it."

Yu Changsheng felt a little regretful, but he didn't take it to heart. With a jolt, he got closer and closer to the Xuan Tian Giant Sword in the center of the pool.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Xingchen also opened his eyes, exhaled softly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at the Xuan Tian Giant Sword so close to him, his gaze complex, and softly said:

"Chang Sheng, do you know the origin of this Sword Washing Pool?"

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "I wonder, is there a story behind this?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard..."

Shen Xingchen shook his head, thought for a moment, and continued, "Anyway, this Sword Washing Pool should have been built by one of the founders of my Sword Control Peak. It is said that originally, this Sword Washing Pool was not used for disciples to temper their bodies."

"Body tempering is just a side function of this Sword Cleansing Pool. I'm not quite sure of its true meaning. I've only vaguely heard that its function seems to be suppression and sealing."

Shen Xingchen spoke softly, her tone uncertain and hesitant, her eyes coincidentally fixed on Yu Changsheng, a subtle, imperceptible glint in their depths.

"Suppression? Sealing?"

Yu Changsheng's expression faltered, and he fell silent for a moment, as if a lot had come to mind.

He roughly knew what was being suppressed and sealed. The story that Elder Wei had told him back then... he still remembered it vividly. The one that could be treated with such seriousness was none other than the Xuan Turtle Ancestor.

These thoughts flashed through Yu Changsheng's mind, but his face showed no unusual expression. He simply nodded slightly to Shen Xingchen.

"It is precisely because it has the power to seal and its power is not obvious that we can make use of it and develop this Sword Washing Pool, thus making it a sacred place of the sect."

"Otherwise, given how close we are to the Xuan Tian Giant Sword, we would have been torn to shreds by its sword energy long ago."

After saying that, Shen Xingchen suddenly smiled softly.

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

Yu Changsheng remained silent, then sighed, "So that's how it is. I wonder what kind of being could be so fiercely guarded if it were truly a suppression and seal."

"I don't know about that." Shen Xingchen shook his head, his eyes darting around, and chuckled.

"However, Changsheng, would you like to know whose magic weapon this Xuan Tian Giant Sword is?"

"Oh? This Xuan Tian Giant Sword has an owner? Isn't it a sect's most treasured possession?" Yu Changsheng asked in surprise, looking at Shen Xingchen with slight doubt.

"It naturally belongs to someone, but its owner is no longer here, so the magic weapon has been requisitioned."

"If I had told you earlier, this Xuan Tian Giant Sword would have been a Nascent Soul level magic weapon, its power was earth-shattering and could not be looked at directly."

Shen Xingchen was filled with emotion, and his eyes shone brightly when he mentioned the Xuan Tian Giant Sword.

"Then, who was its former owner...?" Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and when he asked the question, he already had the answer in his heart.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, there have been very few Nascent Soul cultivators throughout history, and Yu Changsheng already had a guess in his mind about who would agree to the request.

Sure enough, the next moment Yu Changsheng heard the answer from Shen Xingchen.

"Speaking of its master, he has intricate connections with your Beast Taming lineage. He was both the peak master of your Beast Taming Peak and the peak master of my Sword Taming Peak, Cao Jinxian."

Shen Xingchen took a deep breath, and seemed to hesitate when mentioning this person.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Cao Jinxian's name is a taboo subject for most people. Not to mention the disciples, even the elders, except for some high-ranking members, do not know her. Shen Xingchen obviously only knows a part of her name.

That period of history is unknown to almost everyone except a few.
