Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Huishui Mountain is very large. Our group of six spent six days exploring its perimeter, but we only managed to survey a portion of the area.

As time went on, the mountain mist grew thicker and thicker, until on the fifth day, it almost completely covered the entire field of vision, creating a hazy scene. This mist seemed to possess a strange power, to the point that even divine sense was somewhat hindered.

Although its obstructive effect is far less than that of the white mist in the Valley of Illusions, it is still enough to illustrate some points.

"It's the flood season for the eight rivers nearby, so the fog in the mountains is very heavy, and poisonous insects and monsters are also more active. You must be extra careful and follow my lead."

"Hold on tight to the spirit-tracking rope so that you don't fall behind in case of any accidents, which would be a real problem."

In the hazy distance, Bai Zichen's voice came from the front: "Put down the rope and connect the six people together to prevent them from getting lost."

"Pay special attention to your footing. There are many swamps in these mountains, and they are extremely well hidden. There are also some unknown dangers lurking within them, so be careful not to step into them."

Bai Zichen turned around and gave instructions to everyone, who nodded in response.

Yu Changsheng pondered, looking at Bai Zichen whose face remained unchanged, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes, as if deep in thought.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The wind howled, blowing water mist around and making the surrounding leaves rustle. Inside Huishui Mountain, due to the dense giant trees and complex terrain, the sky looked very dark even in the daytime.

With the mist obscuring the view, an eerie atmosphere suddenly arose amidst the haze.

As the wind blew, the already thick mist gathered again, soon making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. Bai Zichen's expression tightened slightly. He paused slightly, flicked his finger in front of everyone, and said:

"Wait here for a moment. I'll check the situation up ahead and let you know when I'm sure everything is alright. Then you can come over."

"OK."

Zhang Tianwen nodded, and the others had no objections. They watched as Bai Zichen took the lead in exploring.

"This Master Bai is not bad. He came first when there was a problem. The spirit stones were well spent."

Li Minghan pinched his nose, chuckled, and even seemed a little smug.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng glanced at Li Minghan but didn't say anything more.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The wind grew stronger and stronger, swirling above the forest, causing the surrounding clouds to condense into a thick fog, completely obscuring the path ahead. Suddenly, with a muffled clap of thunder, the fog turned into rain, large drops falling continuously from the sky.

"Splash... splash..."

Large raindrops fell, dripping into the forest and onto the leaves, gradually condensing into layers of fine mist that filled the entire world.

For a moment, all sounds in the world were silent, except for the sound of raindrops, which became the only echo in the heavens and earth.

"It's raining...it just started raining."

Wang Dingsheng was taken aback, then stretched out his palm and gently felt the raindrops, a hint of joy on his face.

"The weather in the mountains is inherently changeable, let alone Huishui Mountain. With the thick fog and the hot weather, it rains every few days."

Zhang Tianwen muttered something to himself, offered an explanation, and looked up at the sky.

"However, it's rare for the weather to suddenly turn into a thunderstorm like this, so it's not bad."

Rumble!!!

Another bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, its roar echoing through the heavens, and at the same time, it cleaved open a corner of the dark clouds, casting a brief flash of light that bathed the mountain scenery in a soft glow.

"That works too. It was so hot and humid before, but it's much cooler now, haha."

Li Minghan chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.

"Something feels off."

Yu Changsheng looked up, glanced around, his brows furrowing slightly. After sensing the surroundings, he slowly transmitted his voice to everyone.

"It's alright up ahead, be careful, come on over."

Bai Zichen's voice came from the rain, and the spirit-tracking ropes held by the five people swayed accordingly.

"it is good."

Zhang Tianwen nodded, and as he raised his leg to land, his gaze met Yu Changsheng's for a fleeting moment.

The next instant, a cold glint flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes. He looked up and suddenly exerted force in his hand, gripping the Spirit-Chasing Rope. Together with Zhang Tianwen, they exerted force simultaneously.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The spirit-chasing rope trembled, and a cry of surprise came from the other end of the rope.

"Ling Lei, bind me."

A flash of purple lightning appeared in Zhang Tianwen's hand, instantly following the Spirit-Chasing Rope. The faint purple lightning echoed the thunder in the sky. At the other end of the Spirit-Chasing Rope, Bai Zichen's body suddenly stiffened.

Surrounded by lightning, his blood and flesh were solidified, forming a binding force that immobilized him. The Spirit-Chasing Rope, pulled by Yu Changsheng, swept towards him, pulling Bai Zichen's body along with it.

"Um?"

Just as Yu Changsheng exerted his power, several surprised sounds came from the fog in front of them. The next instant, three figures broke through the rain and rushed towards the crowd.

The murderous intent erupted, and the torrential rain intensified.

"The little guy is quite alert. How did he find out?"

Of the three, all were dressed in black robes. One was burly and exuded a powerful aura; another was short, with triangular eyes visible beneath his black robe, a sinister smile playing on his lips; and the third had a cold expression, a knife at his waist, its sharp blade intent shaking the void.

A desolate atmosphere suddenly appeared in the rainforest.

"I originally planned to let you relax and stay vigilant as you entered the swampy area ahead, where we would coordinate with the formation we had set up in advance to create a deadly attack. However, since you are so alert, I have no choice but to send you on your way ahead of time."

The speaker was the burly man, whose voice was icy cold, and in the darkness, his eyes revealed a blatant killing intent.

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, while the other four did not show much surprise. They simply glanced back at Yu Changsheng, then moved closer together, huddled together, and warily watched the three who had suddenly appeared.

"How did I find it? It's simple. I bought a map beforehand and compared it carefully. It wasn't hard to find that there was a deadly watery place ahead. In addition, Bai Zichen's attitude and behavior along the way were really strange."

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, and as he spoke, the Colorful Star Deer, the Crimson Hell Dragon, and the Golden-Winged Eagle all appeared around him with a wave of his sleeve.

Zhang Tianwen let out a soft breath, watching the scene warily with a calm expression. The Divine Might Tiger and the Thunder-Controlling Tiger also appeared, surrounding the group.

Li Minghan smiled slightly, and seeing this scene, he suddenly realized what was going on. Although there was tension in his eyes, there was no panic. The Spirit Wind Serpent, the Cold Pool Crocodile, and the Crimson Mountain Dragon transformed into three streams of light and emerged.

Shen Xingchen remained calm and composed. With a wave of his hand, the Dragon Cry Sword materialized from the void and was tightly gripped in his hand. The sound of the sword's cry resounded through the sky.

"Two Golden Cores and one fake one, you're really generous, what a grand gesture."

Yu Changsheng frowned as he looked at the three people in front of him. A ball of flame appeared in his hand and fell onto Bai Zichen, who was lying on the ground, pale and still not recovered.

After covering him with flames without expression, Bai Zichen was reduced to ashes and disappeared completely from the world a moment later, before he could even scream.

Faced with this scene, the three black-robed cultivators remained calm and unmoved. To them, Bai Zichen's usefulness was limited to this; his death was no different from the death of an ant, and he was not worthy of pity.

"You are all exceptional talents. Wouldn't it be unfair to you if we didn't treat you strictly? Even in death, we want you to die in style, isn't that enough? That would be giving you face."

The aura emanating from the three of them suddenly turned into that of Golden Core cultivators, although they were only at the first level. However, facing several Foundation Establishment cultivators, it was enough to show that this assassination was inevitable.

"Look at this Golden Core that you forcibly reached through taking pills. That's all you'll ever be in this life, and you've even wasted a lot of your lifespan. What's the point?"

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

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, gently shaking his head, sensing the slightly unstable aura of the three, and saw through their predicament with a single sentence.

"Hmph, so what? Alright, it's time to hit the road."

The burly cultivator sneered. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his sleeve, and in an instant, the rain curtain rolled up into a curtain. Then, the three of them moved at the same time and rushed towards Zhang Tianwen and his group of five.

"careful."

Zhang Tianwen exclaimed softly, his brows furrowing suddenly. He commanded the Divine Might Tiger to block his path and stomped down.

"Domain, Roar of the Tiger Across Heaven and Earth!"

"Roar! Ro ...

A tiger roared through the mountains and forests, its divine power and spirit uttering a fierce howl. With the roar, a faint white light enveloped the surroundings, and in an instant, the raindrops became sticky, a faint sense of impending doom enveloping everyone.

"Domain, Crimson Fire Mountain!"

The Red Mountain Dragon circled and flew low, its roars echoing around it. As the crimson light swept through, the temperature rose, and the raindrops turned into steam, rising again and distorting the view. Furthermore, fiery shadows continuously spewed out volcanic meteorites, which condensed from the void and suppressed all directions.

"We all have domains," Yu Changsheng smiled lightly, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit as he looked up. "Crimson Hell Dragon, come on."

"Domain, Crimson Void!"

Rumble!

The void trembled, and intense blood-red light emanated from the Crimson Purgatory Dragon, enveloping the area in a short time. It also caused the Crimson Mountain Dragon's domain to tremble, and endless lava flowed continuously from the volcano.

The temperature rose again, the stench of blood filled the air, the ground and sky turned crimson, volcanoes erupted, lava covered the earth, and in an instant, the surrounding area was as if hell had descended upon the four corners of the earth.

"Impressive skills, worthy of being a prodigy of the Myriad Manifestations Sect."

All these changes happened in the blink of an eye. The three Golden Core cultivators frowned, and the burly cultivator among them flashed with surprise in his eyes and praised them.

"Since you know we are from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, you still dare to hunt us down. It seems you have quite a powerful backer."

Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed. Within this domain, the enhancement of the three domains brought Yu Changsheng to an unprecedented peak.

His cultivation level at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment continued to rise, and in an instant he was almost at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Li Minghan, Shen Xingchen, Zhang Tianwen and others also received a certain boost.

At this moment, everyone was full of fighting spirit. Except for Wang Dingsheng, who had a wry smile, the others remained calm and unmoved.

"Three Golden Core cultivators, good heavens, they treat me like this right off the bat, and I'm only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment."

Wang Dingsheng smiled bitterly, feeling a little bitter. He had agreed to come with Zhang Tianwen to search for medicine, thinking that with their lineup, there shouldn't be any danger, and he could even make some friends. But who would have thought that they would make a move with three Golden Core cultivators?

In his mind, the gap between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage was like heaven and earth, insurmountable.

"These are not things you need to consider."

The burly cultivator finished speaking calmly, and as soon as his words fell, he rushed into the domain. The aura unique to Golden Core cultivators rose up with earth-shattering force. In an instant, the domain trembled, a volcano erupted, and lava covered the ground, sweeping towards the burly cultivator.

As he moved, the other two also moved instantly. The sword-wielding cultivator, like the burly cultivator, was at the Golden Core stage, while the thin and short cultivator was weaker, at the Pseudo-Core stage, just a hair's breadth away from the Golden Core stage.

"I'll deal with Yu Changsheng and Zhang Tianwen. Jue Lingzi, you deal with the others. Wen Zaifou, you wait for an opportunity to support me and Jue Lingzi."

The burly cultivator spoke in a low voice and in an instant everything was arranged. The cultivator with the knife, Jue Lingzi, nodded. The other one, Wen Zaifou, also narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Changsheng and the other five like a venomous snake, ready to strike.

"Alright, Chen Bu Huo, be careful, this kid is not simple."

Jue Lingzi nodded, his gaze shifting, and in a flash he saw Shen Xingchen and Li Minghan. He grinned and said, "Not bad, I've met someone who uses a sword. Let me see what kind of strength you have."

"Enough with the nonsense." Shen Xingchen said calmly, then swung his sword. A dazzling sword light shot up and transformed into a long rainbow, rushing towards Jue Lingzi.

"Interesting. It's just Foundation Establishment, so what if it's amazing?"

Jue Lingzi shook his head and chuckled. With a slap of his right hand, the sword on his back rose into the sky. With a tearing sound, it transformed into a streak of blood light that pierced through heaven and earth, blocking Shen Xingchen's attack. At the same time, his eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, he caught the blood sword and slashed down at Shen Xingchen again.

In an instant, a crimson light burst forth, illuminating the void. A crimson rainbow streaked down from the sky, transforming into a hundred-foot-long blade radiating a thick aura of bloodlust. As it stirred the wind and clouds, it suddenly plummeted, hurtling towards Shen Xingchen.

"Soul-stirring!"

Shen Xingchen remained calm and unmoved in the face of the aggressive onslaught. He formed a hand seal and swung the Dragon Roar Sword upwards, causing the sky to tremble and red light to flash within his domain.

Then, a massive, dark green, hundred-foot-long dragon-roaring sword appeared, radiating chilling power and impacting the soul wave after wave.

Boom!

The Blood Blade collapsed, and the Soul-Shattering Sword also dissipated. Jue Lingzi remained unmoved, letting the aftershocks brush against his face like a gentle breeze. Shen Xingchen, on the other hand, let out a muffled groan, took three steps back, and his face turned slightly pale.

"careful."

Li Minghan reacted quickly, supporting Shen Xingchen as they both looked at Jue Lingzi with wary eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, the Crimson Mountain Dragon roared, its might overwhelming, and its tail swept towards him.

The Spirit Wind Serpent roared as well, its eruption whipping up a violent gale that whipped up the rain and carried the volcanic phantom towards Jue Lingzi. (End of Chapter)
