Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 227 Secrets

Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought. Looking at the message that suddenly popped up, he was stunned, then puzzled.

"Red-scaled pangolin? Didn't I already sell that to Li Minghan?"

"What did that kid do? He actually used up the Crimson Mountain Spirit Dragon's bloodline and successfully advanced?"

"Wasn't he supposed to take off? How did he do that? Did he have some kind of cheat code?"

Yu Changsheng was puzzled and muttered a slight complaint, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible.

"And... why am I receiving messages and gaining essence points? I don't have a contract."

Yu Changsheng pondered, a guess forming in his mind.

"Is it because I cultivated that spirit beast using my cheat system, and therefore it's fundamentally connected to the system?"

After thinking about it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

"It's just a pity that I didn't receive any cultivation boost in return."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, then shook his head again with a hint of regret, but he was also quite satisfied.

"But then again, that kid is really capable. He managed to advance to the next level. No wonder he was even willing to trade almost two second-tier spirit beasts with me in the first place. He'd been planning this all along, hadn't he?"

Yu Changsheng frowned, muttering to himself, then smiled slightly after a moment, showing no other emotion.

"That's impressive. But it's good that they succeeded. It seems that this Beast Taming Competition, the contest between the two sects, will be more exciting than I expected."

Shaking his head, Yu Changsheng put the matter aside and pondered, his thoughts drifting like lotus blossoms.

.........

As night falls, the stars twinkle, the wind howls, and the bright moon emerges, its vast light generously showering down upon the world. The forests and mountains are all bathed in a silvery glow, reflecting the sky above.

Looking in the moonlight, the Myriad Manifestations Sect was completely silent. On the mountainside of Beast Taming Peak, a tall figure stood on the cliff top, gazing into the distance at the bright moon.

The man was tall and slender, with his long black hair tied up, a few strands fluttering in the night breeze, drifting to the ends of the earth. He wore a dark blue robe, the moonlight shimmering on it, and a jade and gold ornament was pinned to his waist. His silhouette was ethereal, otherworldly, like a divine being.

It happened to be Yang Chengxu.

A shadow twisted, and the void behind Yang Chengxu rippled slightly. A figure dressed in a black robe, shrouded in shadow, knelt on the ground, bowing and clasping his hands in salute to Yang Chengxu's back.

"How's it going? Any results?"

Yang Chengxu didn't turn his head. His voice was clear and cold, drifting in the wind and reaching the person's ears. His silhouette, under the shimmering moonlight, added a touch of mystery and otherworldly grace.

The black-robed cultivator lowered his head and replied respectfully in a low voice, "Young Master, I have secretly patrolled the rest of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's territory during this period, except for some forbidden areas, and have not found any traces."

"The key point is Imperial Sword Peak, where Huang Suyu lived, and the places he stayed and walked through. Was there anything unusual?"

Yang Chengxu didn't turn his head, nodded slightly, and spoke calmly.

"No." The subordinate shook his head, a hint of shame flashing across his face. He clasped his hands and said, "I have thoroughly examined Yujian Peak. Huang Suyu is dead. I have carefully examined all the traces he left behind, but there is nothing particularly noteworthy."

The wind continued to howl, and Yang Chengxu fell into deep thought upon hearing this, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I've been to Beast Taming Peak these past few days, but I still haven't found anything. So, the only clue now is Yu Changsheng, who killed Huang Suyu back then."

Yang Chengxu pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his deep, watery eyes. When he mentioned Yu Changsheng, his gaze flickered slightly.

"Yes." The black-robed cultivator nodded respectfully and continued to tell Yang Chengxu the information he had gathered. "According to my investigations these past few days, the only place that still has clues about Huang Suyu is Yu Changsheng. Perhaps we need to start with him."

Yang Chengxu frowned, his clear, cold voice carrying an inscrutable emotion, and said indifferently:

"Huang Suyu's death is insignificant; he is exactly what I need, and I hope he doesn't just disappear."

"I've heard of Yu Changsheng. I heard that when he joined the inner sect half a year ago, he ascended the Eight Thousand Heavenly Ladders and some extraordinary phenomenon appeared, is that right?"

"That's right." The black-robed cultivator nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "In addition, I have also discovered that Yu Changsheng was the one who almost wiped out the entire Tang family in Dongyang City three months ago."

Having said that, the black-robed cultivator took a deep breath, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"It is said that he once fought alone against three Foundation Establishment cultivators, all of whom were more powerful than him, and killed them all within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Afterwards, he used swift and decisive methods to annihilate Tang He, the head of the Tang family, who was at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment..."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

At this point, the black-robed cultivator hesitated, glanced up at Yang Chengxu's back, as if remembering something, then his gaze returned to calm as he continued:

"In my opinion, that battle may not have been his limit. Considering everything, although his cultivation level could not have reached the late Foundation Establishment stage so quickly, his combat strength should have reached it."

To be honest, when the black-robed cultivator first heard this news, he was also shocked. He was indeed amazed by Yu Changsheng's performance, but that was all.

He had seen many truly amazing talents. Yu Changsheng was certainly outstanding, but compared to his young master, he was destined to be relegated to a supporting role.

As expected, a flicker of emotion crossed Yang Chengxu's eyes after hearing this, but he showed no surprise, simply nodding slightly, his expression remaining calm.

"Indeed, Yu Changsheng was able to kill Huang Suyu, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, during the Qi Refining stage. He still has such combat power after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. He can be considered a prodigy and is worth paying attention to."

"Perhaps what I need is in him."

After Yang Chengxu finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his usually calm face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Interesting. In this Myriad Manifestations Sect, besides Shen Xingchen, there is actually such a prodigy. It seems that this beast taming competition will be more interesting than I thought."

The black-robed cultivator bowed his head, maintaining the cupped-hands gesture, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism: "Young Master, you are a prodigy. Even if Yu Changsheng has some skill, he is far from being able to compare with you."

"Once the young master finds what he needs and advances to the ninth level of the Spirit Platform, then among all the geniuses in Martial Continent, even the Holy Sons of the Three Sects, who will be able to rival his glory?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengxu simply nodded slightly, acknowledging the words. When he heard about the Nine-Layer Spirit Platform, a fleeting glint of longing flashed in the depths of his calm eyes.

So he waved his hand, his gaze shifting, and looked up at the moon:

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now. Let me know if there's any further news. By the way, be discreet in your actions. Did you manage to avoid disturbing those old fogies within the Myriad Manifestations Sect?"
