Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Tian Sha City is located in the far west of Wuzhou and is the first major city in western Wuzhou. It is directly under the jurisdiction of Xuan Yin Sect and is not far from the location of Xuan Yin Sect.

The distance to the Myriad Manifestations Sect is more than 100,000 miles. Even if the sect's spirit boat travels day and night, it would still take about twenty days to reach Tian Sha City.

During his time on the spirit boat, Yu Changsheng was not idle. While cultivating, he also gained a general understanding of the various forces that would be participating in the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm.

On the deck of the spirit boat, Yu Changsheng and a few others sat cross-legged and talked to each other.

"This trip to Tian Sha City can be said to be the most grand event in Wuzhou in the past hundred years. Judging from the scale of Xuan Yin Sect, the three sects and six schools have probably all sent out a lot of geniuses."

"In addition, there should be quite a few qualified independent cultivators and small and medium-sized forces. Once we get inside, remember to stick together for warmth."

Zhang Tianwen glanced at the group and smiled faintly.

This trip to Tian Sha City wasn't just about Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan. Shen Xingchen, as a prodigy of Yujian Peak and Lu Ruikai's closed-door disciple, naturally couldn't possibly be absent.

Overall, the group had shared a previous trip to Huishui Mountain, so they felt familiar with each other and quickly bonded over.

"However, Foundation Establishment cultivators are still the main force in this training. With our cultivation levels, as long as we don't deliberately court death, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shen Xingchen thought for a moment, nodded, chuckled, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, and echoed her words.

"Speaking of which, I've long wanted to see what kind of young talents the other forces in Wuzhou are like. Having this opportunity is quite good."

"After all, staying in a comfortable place for too long will only tarnish one's sword heart."

The three sects and six factions are the Xuan Yin Sect, the Zi Hong Sect, and the Qi Xing Sect. Among them, the Xuan Yin Sect is the strongest, which is also the source of its confidence in issuing this invitation.

The six sects are Myriad Manifestations Sect, Spirit Dragon Sect, Azure Thunder Sect, Overlord Sect, No Thought Sect, and Crimson Fire Sect. Although their ranking is not clearly defined, Azure Thunder Sect is likely the strongest among them.

Yu Changsheng, Shen Xingchen, and others are dazzling within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, undoubtedly geniuses and talents. But how do they rank within the entire Three Sects and Six Schools? This is something Shen Xingchen is also eager to know.

On the other side, the other sects also sent out their disciples, each led by a sect elder, towards Tian Sha City.

As a result, in a short period of time, the winds of change gathered in Tian Sha City, and the undercurrents were able to catch their breath amidst this chaos.

.........

On the border of Wuzhou, in an unknown place, in a dark room.

Tong Yuanzheng's figure appeared, and looking at the person in front of him, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He spoke softly:

"King of Dongyou, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well."

The person he was speaking to was none other than King Dongyou!

He wore a white-gold robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, its claws outstretched and its horns vividly depicted, fluttering in the wind. He was tall and had a mature face, exuding a subtle sense of dominance.

King Dongyou stood there calmly, like a sharp sword, exuding majesty naturally without being deliberate, making people dare not look him directly in the eye.

Beneath his long, jet-black hair, his pupils were unlike those of ordinary people; they shone with a pale gold hue, exuding an air of authority and drawing attention. He gazed silently at Tong Yuanzheng, his eyes filled with a fleeting, ethereal light.

Tong Yuan remained unmoved under this gaze, a faint smile still playing on his lips. After slowly exhaling, he continued, "What's wrong? Judging from the way the King of Dongyou is, he's not very welcoming of me?"

Upon hearing this, King Dongyou did not deny it, but simply nodded slightly.

"I'm just curious. You're the Lord of the Dark Currents, and you have close ties with the Xuan Yin Sect. It's hard for me to be uneasy about you coming to see a member of the Qingzhou royal family."

"You're not at ease?" Tong Yuanzheng was speechless, looking at the King of Dongyou in surprise. He touched the bridge of his nose, shook his head, and said, "If it weren't for my undercurrents, it would be because of my persuasion."

"How could the Xuan Yin Sect have invited so many talented individuals from the Martial Continent to Tian Sha City, leaving most of the Martial Continent's forces vulnerable? Even the Zi Hong Sect and Qi Xing Sect, responsible for the border, have withdrawn many of their frontline disciples and True Lords to suppress my Dark Currents and participate in this Tian Sha Secret Realm expedition..."

"If it weren't for this, how could you, King of Dongyou, have had such an opportunity?"

After saying that, Tong Yuanzheng exhaled and looked deeply at King Dongyou.

Upon hearing this, King Dongyou frowned, his lips twitched, and his gaze hesitated, as if he were weighing his options.

"What you say is true, but how can I guarantee that this isn't a trap to lure me in?"

King Dongyou, being cautious by nature, would naturally not be completely at ease based solely on Tong Yuanzheng's one-sided account.

Tong Yuanzheng seemed indifferent to this, simply continuing to speak calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger: "Whether it's a trap or not, you can find out for yourself by investigating."

Now, you know my situation within Wuzhou. If Wuzhou cannot tolerate me, then…”

Tong Yuanzheng paused, his gaze flashing with a chilling light, and he gave a cold laugh: "Then, my Dark Current will not tolerate Wuzhou either."

"As for what you said about the relationship between Xuan Yin Sect and my Dark Stream, I can only tell you that was in the past. Now, Xuan Yin Sect doesn't trust us, and Dark Stream is unwilling to remain subordinate to others for long."

King Dongyou remained silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow. He did not fully believe what Tong Yuanzheng said, but he did not easily deny it either. In particular, he strongly agreed with one point: Tong Yuanzheng was indeed not a ruler who would be content to remain subordinate to others for long.

"What's wrong? Even the King of Dongyou is hesitant and indecisive these days? Fang Nian, the renowned King of Dongyou who suppresses all directions, is not as hesitant and cowardly as you."

"In short, I have created the opportunity for you. Now that the deal is done, it's up to you whether you can seize it."

Faced with King Dongyou's silence, Tong Yuanzheng took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and looked at King Dongyou with a strange glint in his eyes.

King Dongyou remained silent for a long time, his expression somewhat moved. He looked up at Tong Yuanzheng, who seemed indifferent, shook his head, and spoke softly with a slight smile on his face:

"In that case, I welcome our cooperation. Rest assured, as long as things go smoothly, I will naturally fulfill your requests."

"Well, it's a win-win situation. Staying vigilant is a good thing."

Tong Yuanzheng nodded, his expression softening considerably. He looked at the King of Dongyou, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, a hint of excitement surging in his eyes. He shook his head and smiled gently.

The specific details of the conspiracy between Tong Yuanzheng and the King of Dongyou were unknown to outsiders. Only after an incense stick had burned, Tong Yuanzheng smiled slightly and said:

"Looking forward to good news from the King of Dongyou."

Then the figure vanished again, as if it had never been there at all.

King Dongyou watched Tong Yuanzheng's disappearing figure, his eyes glazing over, his brows furrowing slightly. He said nothing more, only appearing thoughtful. After a long while, he murmured:

"Tong Yuanzheng...his undercurrents, the Xuan Yin Sect...we cannot completely trust him, but we cannot refrain from using him either."

Thinking it over, King Dongyou shook his head and smiled, a strange light flashing in his pale golden pupils.

"Now that your Wuzhou is beset by internal and external troubles, it is indeed the best opportunity for me, and we cannot miss it..."

…………

Time passed, and after twenty days of rapid travel, on the morning of the twenty-first day, as the first light of dawn broke in the east, the speed of the Myriad Manifestations Sect's spirit ship slowed down. On the horizon, a magnificent city gradually took shape and grew larger as it approached.

The city wall, hundreds of feet high, is majestic and imposing, exuding an ancient and profound aura. It covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles and stretches endlessly. Through the city wall, one can see the palaces that stretch endlessly, with buildings soaring into the clouds, just like a giant dragon lying on the ground, which makes people tremble.

The city gate is a hundred feet long. On the plaque above the gate, the three large characters "Tian Sha City" are engraved in a vigorous and elegant style, shining brightly and exuding a spirit that complements the entire city. The fluctuations of the formation faintly shimmer, enveloping the entire Tian Sha City. Walking under it, one will feel one's own insignificance, and there is an invisible pressure descending upon one.

"We've arrived. There's a no-fly zone above Tian Sha City, so we'll land here and enter the city."

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

Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai appeared simultaneously, controlling the spirit boat to land while speaking calmly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Just then, the wind howled, a long rainbow appeared on the horizon, and then quickly descended in front of everyone. The dragon's might spread in all directions, and only when they got closer could they see what it looked like.

It was a hundred-zhang-long, ferocious, six-clawed, jet-black dragon. At its head, a huge banner fluttered in the wind, with the words "Spirit Dragon" clearly visible on it. It was the guardian spirit beast of the Spirit Dragon Sect, the Black Wind Spirit Dragon.

"People from the Spirit Dragon Sect? They've arrived too. What a coincidence."

Within the crowd, Yu Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and he exchanged a glance with Li Minghan, muttering to himself as they closely observed the people of the Linglong Sect.

As the Black Wind Spirit Dragon landed, numerous black dots appeared one after another on its broad back. Finally, it jumped to the ground. Yu Changsheng did not recognize the leader of the Spirit Dragon Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanlong, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Ruan Hao raised an eyebrow, looked at the newcomer, took two steps forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and said calmly.

"It's actually True Monarch Xuanlong! This person was the previous leader of the Spirit Dragon Sect and the master of the current leader. His cultivation has also reached the Purple Mansion level. It seems that everyone is taking this matter very seriously."

Zhang Tianwen was speechless, then whispered an explanation in Yu Changsheng's ear.

"Yeah?"

Yu Changsheng nodded, not daring to rashly use his divine sense to probe, but instead focused his gaze on the Black Wind Spirit Dragon, lost in thought.

His improved cultivation and spiritual sense allowed him to more clearly perceive the state of the Spirit Dragon Sect's guardian spirit beast.

"Peak of the third tier, just a little short of reaching the fourth tier... However, it seems that his bloodline essence is damaged, which is why, despite his excellent bloodline potential, he is only at the third tier and has not yet broken through to the fourth tier..."

Yu Changsheng pondered these thoughts, which flashed through his mind, but he ultimately shook his head and didn't dwell on them.

Ruan Hao was clearly acquainted with Xuanlong; the two were of the same generation and had often clashed in their youth.

Xuanlong Daoist, dressed in a long white robe with a lifelike six-clawed dragon embroidered in gold, soaring through the clouds, exuding a majestic aura, possessed white hair and a youthful face. His gray beard betrayed his age, and the years had left a sense of vicissitude in his eyes, yet his face appeared very peaceful. After glancing at Ruan Hao, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed heartily:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ruan. It's been a long time. I didn't expect this training to have even stirred up an old man like you. We must have a drink to celebrate when we have the chance."

Fellow Daoist Xuanlong smiled, his tone sounding very gentle, and took the initiative to pat Ruan Hao's shoulder. The two seemed to be close friends of many years.

Ruan Hao smiled as well, nodded to Fellow Daoist Xuanlong, subtly removed Xuanlong's hand from his shoulder, and said with a smile:

"These days it's all the young people's world, so I'm just taking this opportunity to come and visit, and also to fulfill my responsibilities as an elder. It's a rare opportunity."

"I imagine that this trip to Tian Sha City will allow me to see many familiar faces from various sects, and I'll definitely have a good chat with them."

As Ruan Hao spoke, he walked into Tian Sha City with Xuanlong Zhenjun. The leader of the Linglong Sect this time, besides Xuanlong, was someone Yu Changsheng knew, Mu Yongxian. However, he looked much more haggard and aged than before.

After giving Lu Ruikai a cold glance, he didn't say a word and led his disciples toward Tian Sha City.

Lu Ruikai shook his head, smiled calmly, glanced back at the Wanxiang Sect disciples, put away the spirit boat, and then led them towards Tiansha City.

As they entered the city, Lu Ruikai said, "Tian Sha City, as the most powerful city in the western part of Wuzhou, is directly under the jurisdiction of Xuan Yin Sect. There are many cultivators coming and going, and shops line the streets. It can be considered a rare trading place in Wuzhou."

"Especially during this period, with the arrival of the Three Sects and Six Schools, it has become even more lively. Some items that are usually hard to come by can be traded here. If you need them, you can go and buy them yourself."

As Lu Ruikai spoke, he paused, his expression becoming much more serious.

"However, it is important to note that you should not provoke trouble unless necessary. Although Tian Sha City is directly under the jurisdiction of Xuan Yin Sect, many other forces also have branches here."

"Of course, if you are bullied by others, you don't have to just endure it. If there's anything, come and tell me. The sect will naturally step in and resolve it."

As they were talking, after traveling some distance into the city, Lu Ruikai led a group of people to stop in front of a huge inn in the city.

A huge sign reading "Yuelai Inn" came into view. After confirming it was correct, Lu Ruikai led the group inside. (End of Chapter)
