Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Tell me, who ordered you to come and kill us? Tell me who's behind it, and I might spare your life."

Upon learning the identity of the black-robed cultivator, Yu Changsheng's expression turned completely cold. He gripped the black-robed cultivator's neck tightly and spoke calmly.

"hehe……"

The black-robed cultivator turned his head with difficulty, meeting Yu Changsheng's cold gaze. Blood continued to spill from the corners of his mouth, nose, and mouth, yet he chuckled, his eyes filled with desolation and mockery.

"I never imagined that such a greenhorn would grow to this level. But you're overthinking it. As for the mastermind behind it all, it was only me from beginning to end."

"You're still so stubborn even when you're about to die. Don't think everyone else is a fool. You're far from qualified to get the Dark Stream Golden Core cultivator to come out and kill us."

Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed as he stared intently at the black-robed cultivator. His eyes gleamed with divine light, and his divine sense transformed into countless black needles, piercing deep into the black-robed cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness.

"ah!…"

The black-robed cultivator's face instantly contorted in pain, and he screamed in agony. Visible veins bulged on his face as the excruciating pain emanating from his very soul felt like countless needles piercing it, utterly unbearable.

"You have perseverance, but how long can you keep it up? Do you know what it's like to have your bones shattered bit by bit, and your soul extinguished needle by needle?"

Yu Changsheng chuckled, coldly observing the black-robed cultivator's pitiful appearance, his heart unmoved. He glanced at the black-robed cultivator with admiration, then flicked his wrist, sending his surging blood and qi into the black-robed cultivator's body.

The power of the physical body erupted, drawing upon the blood and spirit simultaneously, rampaging through the black-robed cultivator's body, breaking through meridians and bones, causing the blood in the black-robed cultivator's body to flow backward, constantly impacting his internal organs.

The pain from his soul and body was amplified countless times, assaulting the black-robed cultivator's mental defenses wave after wave.

Thus, under intense pain, the black-robed cultivator didn't even have a chance to scream. However, Yu Changsheng's attacks were very precise. Each attack pushed the black-robed cultivator to his limit, yet was just right to prevent him from fainting.

Thus, in just a hundred breaths, the black-robed cultivator could no longer hold on. Sweat dripped from his back and forehead, and he clenched his teeth in intense pain, swallowing them whole.

"What, aren't you going to talk? If you don't, I'm going to have to step up my tactics."

Yu Changsheng relaxed his movements, paused for a moment, and looked at the exhausted black-robed cultivator with interest, then smiled and spoke.

"You know what? I admire people who are stubborn the most."

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything, just don't come again."

The black-robed cultivator trembled and gasped for breath. Upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he struggled to look up at Yu Changsheng. The horror in his eyes was completely covered by fear.

At this moment, in his eyes, Yu Changsheng was no different from a devil.

"Is this not enough? I have so many other tricks up my sleeve. I thought I was going to have a lot of fun. How boring."

Yu Changsheng exhaled, seemingly still somewhat unsatisfied. Hearing this, he slightly curled his lips, his gaze returning to calm as he calmly looked at the black-robed cultivator. He secretly opened the jade tube bearing his mark and spoke calmly:

"Speak, who ordered you to assassinate the geniuses of my Myriad Manifestations Sect?"

The black-robed cultivator let out a long breath, pursed his lips, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. After a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind, or perhaps he was truly terrified of Yu Changsheng, he swallowed hard and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you everything. Just put your ear closer and stop torturing me."

"it is good."

Yu Changsheng didn't mince words. While remaining wary, he slowly stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "Say whatever you want to say."

"The person who ordered me to kill you is...."

The black-robed cultivator took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and slowly spoke, word by word. He suddenly paused, then a resolute glint appeared in his eyes, a desolate smile crossing his face.

"Yu Changsheng, it's worth dying at your hands. If I had half of your talent and opportunities, I wouldn't be so restricted by others and have no freedom now."

"I'm not reconciled!"

Before he could finish speaking, a violent surge of energy suddenly erupted from his body, rising continuously as if about to burst forth. Even the slightest glimpse of his aura caused the void to tremble, as if it were about to collapse.

A constant rumbling sound emanated from within his body, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound. The golden core at the center of his dantian suddenly shattered... His cultivation and soul were also extinguished, and in their place, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted!

"not good!"

Yu Changsheng's expression changed instantly. A violent sense of life-or-death crisis exploded in every cell of his body. A feeling of terror kept washing over his mind. At this moment, the black-robed cultivator felt to him like a bomb about to explode, which would level the entire herb-gathering town!

"Damn it!"

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, a thousand thoughts flashing through his mind. An anxious look crossed his face. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the black-robed cultivator's half-collapsed body with a low growl.

"We have no choice but to give it a try!"

The next instant, a flash of light appeared, and the black-robed cultivator's mangled body vanished. The terrifying fluctuations also disappeared, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

"call……"

Yu Changsheng collapsed to the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his face. His face paled, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"This guy actually chose to self-destruct. Why did he have to do that? Luckily, there's a system... otherwise, the entire herb-gathering town might have ceased to exist."

Yu Changsheng smiled wryly, feeling the broken body of the black-robed cultivator that appeared in his system inventory, and patted his chest.

The so-called Golden Core is actually a special energy crystal formed by the condensation of all the cultivation of a cultivator. Therefore, after reaching the Golden Core stage, the cultivator will naturally have a skill, which is to choose to explode the Golden Core, turning all the cultivation of a lifetime into a moment of brilliance and bursting out.

The consequences of doing so can range from the collapse of the Golden Core and the loss of cultivation, reducing one to a mortal, to damage to one's life essence and a short lifespan.

The black-robed cultivator's choice was even more extreme.

What it chooses to self-destruct is not only its Golden Core cultivation level, but also its physical body and soul that are connected to the Golden Core. Using the soul as a catalyst and the physical body as fuel, it ignites the Golden Core, turning itself into a complete bomb to achieve the ultimate self-destruction power. Its power is a level above that of an ordinary Golden Core self-destruction, and it is also more terrifying.

"However, it was thanks to his choice of such a complete self-destruction that his soul and spirit were annihilated in an instant, and his life force dissipated. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to put him in my backpack."

The system backpack's storage space is similar to a storage bag, but it is more advanced and concealed; naturally, living objects cannot be contained inside.

The time frame was also frozen. In his haste, Yu Changsheng had no other choice but to take the risk and put it into his system inventory.

After examining the mangled corpse frozen in the system's inventory before its self-destruction, Yu Changsheng gently shook his head, and after a long while, his mind returned to calm.

"I need to be more careful in the future. I might not be so lucky next time. When you push someone to the limit, they really are capable of doing anything."

Yu Changsheng muttered a few words to himself, scratched his head, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"However, in a way, haven't I unexpectedly acquired a trump card...? If something happens next time, and I throw this self-destructing golden core out of my backpack, then..."

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng secretly spat, his eyes gleaming, and chuckled.

"A Golden Core that completely self-destructs... a time bomb. Few people can withstand that, right?"

Due to the unique nature of the system's inventory, which lacks a concept of time, objects remain exactly as they are when they are put in. Therefore, the black-robed cultivator's self-destruction state did not disappear; it was merely frozen in time. When Yu Changsheng releases him again, he will continue to self-destruct.

Even at his current level, Yu Changsheng felt the power of a Golden Core cultivator's complete self-destruction with a chilling intensity. If Yu Changsheng hadn't intervened in time, he might have barely survived the explosion, but all living beings in this herb-gathering town below the Golden Core stage would have been wiped out in an instant.

This was something Yu Changsheng didn't want to see, not to mention that Shen Xingchen and the others were also in town at the moment. Therefore, putting it into the system backpack was the best solution that Yu Changsheng could only do at this moment.

Shaking his head to suppress these thoughts, Yu Changsheng didn't waste any time. He quietly returned to the Gu Chen Herb Gathering Group, pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself.

"Although you didn't say who it was, it's no surprise that the only people who would go to such lengths to get rid of me are the Yang family and the Spirit Dragon Sect, as well as that Dark Current, who isn't exactly a good person either."

"We'll settle these scores with you properly when we're stronger in the future..."

After thinking it over, Yu Changsheng let out a long breath and calmed down to continue his cultivation.

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

"I need to break through quickly and increase my strength. Once I reach the Golden Core stage, I'll be much safer within the Martial Continent..."

The events of tonight did not cause much of a stir; everything proceeded quietly. Yu Changsheng did not tell Zhang Tianwen either, and the night passed without incident.

The next day, as dawn broke, the four of them did not linger. They boarded the spirit boat and flew grandly towards the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

At this moment, the entire trip to Huishui Mountain has come to a complete end.

Five people came, but only four left. Everyone was silent about this result, so they did not waste any time and flew towards the Myriad Manifestations Sect with all their might.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye...

On the spirit boat, the wind was raging, and the blinding sunlight shone on the deck, raising the surrounding temperature considerably.

"Chang Sheng... what are your plans for returning to the sect this time?"

Zhang Tianwen walked gently to Yu Changsheng, his gaze sweeping over the sea of ​​clouds before finally settling on Yu Changsheng, who had just finished his cultivation. After a moment's thought, he spoke softly.

"Huh?" Yu Changsheng was taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said, "Well, there's not much to it. Just keep cultivating quietly."

"Hmm..." Zhang Tianwen looked at Yu Changsheng with surprise upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation on his face, and sighed heavily.

"This trip to Huishui Mountain was truly fortunate to have you all with me; it was full of twists and turns..."

"It's alright. Consider it a valuable experience. Once we return to the sect, we'll answer these questions truthfully and let the sect handle it."

This was the only answer Yu Changsheng could give.

"Yes, it's just a pity..."

Zhang Tianwen paused, shook his head, and didn't continue. He let out a soft breath, and with a hint of hesitation on his face, said tentatively:

"If it's convenient, there's one more thing I need your help with, Changsheng."

"Ah? What is it? Please tell me, Senior Brother Zhang."

Yu Changsheng's expression changed, and he patted his chest to assure him.

"This," Zhang Tianwen said after a moment's thought, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"I know that you, Changsheng, are highly skilled in alchemy and have a close relationship with Elder Yang. I was just thinking that you could help me make an introduction so that Elder Yang can refine a pill for me. Of course, I will pay you the full amount due."

"Oh, that's fine. I'll talk to them about it later."

Yu Changsheng suddenly realized and smiled. Elder Yang, also known as Yang Tianyi, is the number one alchemist of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. After a year of getting along, although there is no actual master-disciple relationship between him and Yu Changsheng, they have already established a master-disciple relationship in name only. This little matter is not difficult at all.

"Then I'll have to trouble Changsheng."

Zhang Tianwen let out a long sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

"After all the troubles of coming to Huishui Mountain, we finally managed to get our hands on this Condensation Grass. The next step is to refine the Condensation Pill. It was a worthwhile trip."

"I will tell Elder Yang about the Condensation Pill after we return to the sect, so Senior Brother Zhang doesn't need to worry."

Yu Changsheng comforted Zhang Tianwen with a reassuring look.

Condensation Grass is the main ingredient for refining Condensation Pill, and the most precious part of it. Condensation Pill is a fourth-grade pill, and currently only Yang Tianyi in the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect has the ability to refine it.

Over the years, Zhang Tianwen has spent a considerable amount of resources trying to restore the eighth level of his spiritual platform. Although he has not succeeded, he has come very close. The Condensation Pill he is using now is his last attempt.

In response, Yu Changsheng could only offer his blessings. He would naturally do his best to help in any way he could.

Especially this time, Huishui Mountain may just be a training exercise for others, but for Yu Changsheng, the fortune he gained is immeasurable.

.........

As the sun rose and set, a day later, the spirit boat gradually flew into the territory of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and soon the Myriad Manifestations Sect came into view.

"We've finally arrived. It feels like a lifetime ago. This trip was truly no easy feat."

Li Minghan spoke with conviction. Upon arriving at the Myriad Manifestations Sect, the tension in his heart completely dissipated, followed by waves of mental and physical exhaustion. (End of Chapter)
