Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 262 Mo Pengchen's Love Letter

After burying the remains, Yu Changsheng was not in a hurry. Instead, he became interested and continued walking along the Sijian Cliff.

Soon, lines of text appeared before my eyes, which were quite interesting.

"Master, you once asked me why I have cultivated Taoism all my life. I used to say it was for immortality, but I was actually lying to you."

"Actually, what I want is to become your whole world, but I am Zhang San, I am Li Si, just an ordinary person among the masses, the most inconspicuous one among your thousands of outstanding disciples."

"But this is not a joke; it is the unattainable distance I yearn for, the poem I can touch but not obtain, my romance, my obsession, all that has been worthwhile or not worthwhile along my journey, and a page of courage and failure in my turbulent path..."

"But actually, none of that matters. What matters is..."

Yu Changsheng swallowed hard, his eyes continuing to glance downwards. At the very bottom, a line of small print added an explanation.

"The important thing is that I have you."

.........

"Hiss... Explosion."

Yu Changsheng gasped, shook his head, and smiled wryly, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"You guys have turned the once peaceful Sijian Cliff into a confession wall."

Yu Changsheng muttered something casually, but he didn't find it boring. He continued walking forward and examined the article with great interest. Soon, this particular article caught his attention.

"The wind blows through the shifting sands, the clouds drift and gather, in the torrent of time, who can have a destined encounter with whom..."

"I used to envy those hands holding each other, laughing freely in the sunlight, unlike me, who could only be a mouse in the shadows, watching you from afar."

"In this fleeting world, how fortunate I am to have met you; how unfortunate I am to have met you, like autumn waters meeting a lone wild goose, or mulberries meeting the evening glow. I have met you."

"It's like a mighty river, flowing uncontrollably from the start; it's like the sunset over the desert, its afterglow leaving endless meaning. I don't know how long this feeling will last, but at this moment, all I want is to hold your hand."

"I want to hold your hand and walk together along the path strewn with autumn leaves, from dawn till dusk, from beginning to end, even if for the rest of your life you never see my way home..."

……

Sometimes, I wish all of this were just a fleeting dream, like flowers that never bear fruit, snow that never shines, and me not seeing you, so there was no beginning and no end.

"If possible, I want you to be yourself... to love what you love, to think what you think, to experience your joys and sorrows, and to walk the path you have walked..."

"But life doesn't offer that many possibilities..."

……

"You once told me that as long as you have the will, it's never too late, but starting over takes courage, and having the confidence to never regret a move takes strength. You are the one I can never reach in this lifetime."

……

"I can't wait for a life of prosperity, a life of blooming flowers and a full moon, or an ending with you, but I wish you all the best in the future, and that your path will always be smooth. As for me, I just want to hold your hand forever."

.........

Unlike the others, this love letter, densely packed with thousands of words, poured out the writer's emotions, revealing a deep and lingering longing between the lines, to the point that Yu Changsheng was in a daze.

"Well written."

Yu Changsheng sighed and continued looking down. At the very bottom, there was a signature.

"Mo Pengchen, to Lu..."

Yu Changsheng was stunned, blinked, took a deep breath, and looked at the signature with disbelief.

"It was actually written by Mo Pengchen, and who was it written for?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, outrageous," Yu Changsheng exclaimed in amazement, "Such delicate writing, I never expected there to be this side to it."

"unbelievable!"

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, chuckled, shook his head as he looked at the love letter, thought for a moment, took out the branding jade tube, and used a spell to brand and preserve this scene.

"However, to be able to write so many words on this piece without any crookedness is truly impressive."

Yu Changsheng muttered something to himself, and after confirming again who Mo Pengchen had written this to, his eyes looked strange, and he felt a little awkward.

Sijian Cliff was actually cleaved out by a single sword strike from some being, which is why its surface is smooth and still bears sword marks to this day. The sword intent resonates here, and being able to carve words on it is itself a manifestation of strength.

"Never mind, who cares? The Peak Master is quite an interesting person."

Yu Changsheng shook his head and smiled, then continued walking.

Not everyone's inscriptions on Sijian Cliff are in lines; some are concise yet full of charm.

"Though we cannot be together in this fleeting life, every inch of our connection brings an inch of longing..."

Yu Changsheng nodded, secretly praising, "Not bad, his literary talent is outstanding, a true genius of my Beast Taming Peak."

After walking for a short while, they had passed more than half of the Sijian Cliff. It wasn't until a huge sword mark appeared in the center of Sijian Cliff that Yu Changsheng frowned and stopped.

"This sword mark..."

The sword mark carved a huge ravine on the Sword-Contemplating Cliff, within which sword intent roared and the sound of swords echoed endlessly, causing the void to tremble. The sword energy of the phantom condensed into a storm, raging through space, and cracks appeared, radiating astonishing cutting power.

Yu Changsheng's brow twitched, and he looked at the sword mark with a hint of fear. He contracted his divine sense, took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and was filled with emotion, his mind wandering:

"There is such a place in the Valley of Illusory Mist Beasts. Who wielded this sword and left its mark here?"

Within the entire Stone Forest, only this place possesses the most intense sword intent. For sword cultivators, this place is rare, and staying here for a long time might allow them to comprehend many things. It can be considered a rare treasure land.

Unfortunately, Yu Changsheng didn't understand swordsmanship. Apart from sensing the sharp sword intent, he couldn't comprehend anything else here.

"No wonder Meng Wu'an, a sword cultivator, wanted to participate in this trial; this is probably his purpose."

Yu Changsheng had a slight understanding and realized what was going on. After observing for a while, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if there were sharp edges on his back. Every hair on his body stood on end, and he was filled with unease.

"Um?!"

Yu Changsheng's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward on Sijian Cliff and lunged to the left, unleashing several Shadow Flashes in quick succession.

"Divine Radiance Throws!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Almost instantly, a golden spear flashed with golden light, transforming into a golden rainbow. Like thunder, it roared and stirred up endless ripples as it tore through the air. In an instant, it barely grazed Yu Changsheng's shoulder before slamming hard into Sijian Cliff.

Boom!

The Sword Cliff trembled, and a storm of sword energy suddenly erupted from it, stirring up the void. The golden spear also turned into golden light and slowly dissipated. The attack failed, but the momentum was astonishing. Under the shockwave, the surrounding stone peaks collapsed one after another, and the landing stirred up dust and surging waves of air.

"Yang Chengxu!"

Yu Changsheng breathed heavily, squinting to suppress the trembling in his heart, his eyes fixed on the figure that slowly emerged from the dust and mist.

The figure had a cold and stern expression. His purple robe fluttered in the wind, and his black hair was tied up in a gold and jade dragon crown. His eyebrows rose and fell like a dragon, his dark red lips were slightly pursed, his fair skin was spotless, and his eyes were deep, revealing a hint of resentment in his indifference.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon rose and fell on Yang Chengxu's left shoulder, its dragon eyes flashing with cold light as it looked at Yu Changsheng. The Sky Shadow Dragon rose and fell on Yang Chengxu's right shoulder, its dragon head raised, its whiskers flying, revealing a hint of disdain.

A gust of wind blew from an unknown place, and in an instant, the two dragons swelled up in the wind, their tails intertwined, surrounding Yang Chengxu. The roar of the dragons echoed continuously, and Yang Chengxu slowly walked out from within, his figure like an immortal.

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

"You won by luck last time, but this time, you won't be so lucky, Yu Changsheng."

Yang Chengxu spoke calmly, his voice as indifferent as his expression, as cold as the winter wind, with a hidden killing intent.

"This Sword-Thinking Cliff is a good place; it would be a good choice as your burial place."

As Yang Chengxu spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and a round bead was sent out, exploding in mid-air. In an instant, a faint white light shield appeared, completely enveloping the area within a ten-mile radius. The fluctuations of the array spread, and in a moment, the howling wind around them stopped.

"The Boundary-Stabilizing Bead!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly watched Yang Chengxu's movements. The Colorful Star Deer, the Crimson Serpent, and the Golden-Winged Eagle appeared on his left and right, ready for battle.

"This place has been completely sealed off by me. You can only enter, not leave. From the outside, this place will be completely erased. Don't even think about escaping. Between you and me, only one of us can leave today."

Yang Chengxu smiled faintly. As the barrier of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead solidified completely, the icy chill contained in his voice was made no attempt to conceal it.

"Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head, though he was wary, he showed no sign of panic.

"You've spun your own cocoon?" Yang Chengxu shook his head with amusement, then looked up at Yu Changsheng with a strange expression. "You really think highly of yourself. Leave your last words and take one last look at this world."

After Yang Chengxu finished speaking, the killing intent in his eyes exploded completely. In an instant, his body moved, transforming into a world-shaking sword. His fist was covered with golden light, and a rising sun appeared behind him as his fist struck out, suddenly leaping out of the sea, crossing the night, and crushing towards Yu Changsheng.

"Dawnbreaker Fist!!!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He suddenly looked up, and the sound of bones grinding and cracking came from his whole body. His blood and qi gathered in his fist. In the chaotic rock forest, stones flew over and covered him. The Thousand Mountain Armor appeared, and he threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The two collided, causing the earth to shake violently. The intense shockwave caused some of the surrounding stone forest to collapse, dust and mist to rise, and the sun to burst open. The two figures separated upon contact, each taking a few steps back.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yu Changsheng's mouth, and Yang Chengxu's breathing became slightly disordered, his gaze darkening. He, too, did not gain the upper hand.

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and his strength has improved so much again."

Yang Chengxu took a deep breath, shook his numb arm, and was secretly surprised.

"It seems he has gained quite a few opportunities in this Illusionary Mist Beast Valley," Yang Chengxu thought to himself, his gaze sharpening. "However, I have also gained a lot. The Heavenly Shadow Dragon has also completed its advancement. I have no reason to lose this battle."

Thinking this, Yang Chengxu exclaimed softly, and as he waved his hand and formed a hand seal, the Azure Dragon and the Shadow Dragon beside him instantly soared and circled high, their dragon roars echoing continuously.

"hold head high!!!"

The roar of the dragon resounded through the sky, echoing in all directions, carrying unparalleled dominance and a sense of annihilation, stirring up endless storms.

"Azure Dragon, Domain—Azure Sun and Moon Light!"

"Sky Shadow Dragon! Domain, Profound Dark Heaven!"

Yang Chengxu's gaze reached its peak at this moment. This time, he was going to strike with deadly force, leaving no room for error and not intending to give Yu Changsheng any chance.

The Azure Dragon raised its head, and intense azure light enveloped the heavens and earth, covering half of the space within the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl. In the azure sky, the phantoms of a bright moon and a blazing sun slowly rose and fell from the east and west respectively. In an instant, the azure light intensified, becoming a vast expanse.

The light was intensely hot, penetrating to the core. When it shone on a person's skin, it caused an unbearable burning sensation, not only on the physical body but also on the soul, causing a continuous and pervasive drain.

But how could Yang Chengxu's killing move end like this? After the azure light covered half the sky, on the other half, the Heavenly Shadow Dragon coiled up in one place. Its jet-black dragon scales emitted black mist, and a dark aura enveloped the other half of the sky. This other half of the sky became completely dark, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and no light could be seen. The darkness was filled with a chilling aura that penetrated to the bone.

In an instant, within the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl, one side shimmered with azure light, intensely hot, while the other side was shrouded in darkness, chilling to the bone, creating a stark contrast. Within this contrast, the figures of the Azure Dragon and the Sky Shadow Dragon rose and fell, radiating astonishing dragon might and creating awe.

"Yu Changsheng, prepare to die!"

Under the double dragons playing with a pearl, Yang Chengxu's body slowly rose up, his cultivation aura reaching its peak at this moment. His body was like lightning, rushing towards Yu Changsheng in an instant and kicking him away.

Yu Changsheng frowned, his expression slightly grim. Within the domain, perhaps due to the special environment, the domain itself was suppressed by the pervasive sword intent and was not as formidable as it appeared on the surface.

Furthermore, since his physical body and soul were both extraordinary, he was not greatly affected by the domain, but the enhancements the other party received within the domain were very real.

"Although my cultivation level is inferior to yours, my physical body and soul are enough to make up for those differences."

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath and looked at Yang Chengxu who was rushing towards him. His eyes also burst with killing intent, which he did not hide. In an instant, he stomped his foot on the ground and leaped up. He turned his fist into a palm and chopped at Yang Chengxu's head!

Yang Chengxu's strength is beyond doubt. He is already at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, and with a second-tier sixth-level Azure Dragon, a second-tier fifth-level Sky Shadow Dragon, and a variety of supernatural abilities, he is more than capable of crushing most Foundation Establishment prodigies.

Yu Changsheng was no less impressive, especially after this trial in the secret realm, his strength had made a qualitative leap. His cultivation level was at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Although there was a gap between him and Yang Chengxu, his transcendent spirit and physical body were enough to make up for that gap.

As for the three beasts that were already at the fifth level of the second tier, on the surface, there wasn't a significant disparity between the two sides in this battle.

"Boom!!!"

A flash of blue light, shrouded in darkness, each occupying one of the two poles of the sky, they were in a state of mutual conflict yet also in balance, as if the heavens had fallen, scattering endless divine power, rushing towards Yu Changsheng within.
