Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"They're here!"

"It's finally here! I've been waiting for so long!"

As the heavenly music slowly spread, everyone's hearts were stirred, and their eyes were all focused on the stage, filled with anticipation.

In the shimmering moonlight, eight graceful figures appeared on the stage, floating cross-legged. With a flash of light, magical treasures shimmering with spiritual light suddenly appeared in front of the eight beautiful figures. These treasures were not ordinary swords or knives, but rather instruments such as zithers, flutes, and pipa.

The moonlight was as bright as her wrist, and her skin as white as jade. With a slight movement of her wrist, she flicked her wrist, and a sound like flowing water rippled outwards with the moonlight. In an instant, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, revealing the bright moon. The sound transformed into celestial music, flowing continuously into the hearts of everyone present.

In an instant, everyone closed their eyes in enjoyment, listening quietly and letting the beautiful music cleanse their souls. This music was not ordinary; it carried an inexplicable profound meaning. It not only resounded in everyone's ears but also seemed to possess a divine power that rippled deep within everyone's hearts and minds.

It had a wondrous effect; all the clamor ceased at this moment, and the Daoist heart was cleansed and made even clearer by this heavenly sound.

"As expected of the disciples of the Wunian Sect, each of them is proficient in music and spiritual power. Their playing is like a gentle spring breeze. If you listen carefully, your mind will become clearer and more transparent."

Some people exclaimed in amazement, completely absorbed in the experience, which also expressed the sentiments of many.

The light shimmered, and countless petals fell from the sky, serving as embellishments and highlighting the graceful figure within. Everyone's gaze was drawn to it, completely mesmerized.

The location of Yu Changsheng and the others was naturally even more clearly visible.

Among the eight graceful figures, the one in the very center wore a veil, concealing half of her face. With a gentle flick of her fingers, melodious sounds flowed out. Although she did not deliberately try to be abrupt, she naturally became the focus of the crowd. Her hazy face added to her mystique.

Even without any deliberate effort, it was perfectly natural. Compared to the other stunningly beautiful women around her, she was the most radiant flower, the bright moon, while the others were like stars. Thus, amidst the stars surrounding the moon, she shone even more brightly.

"That's Jing Xueyi..."

Li Minghan quietly swallowed, looking at Jing Xueyi with a hint of infatuation in his eyes, and murmured softly.

Even without Li Minghan's reminder, Yu Changsheng spotted Jing Xueyi in the crowd at a glance and noticed her presence. There was no other reason than that she exuded an exceptional aura that drew attention.

She stood tall and graceful, with a slender waist and a glimpse of snow-white skin that stirred endless imagination. Dressed in a pale green robe, she was like a lotus emerging from water, beautiful yet not gaudy. Her delicate hands moved lightly, as if plucking the strings of a zither.

When the song ended, her bright eyes sparkled with affection as she gracefully rose to her feet, a smile on her face, and gently removed the veil from her mask.

"Disciples of the Wunian Sect greet the prodigies of various sects."

Her voice was clear and melodious. With the movement of her wrist, everyone stared intently, holding their breath. The veil fell away, revealing an unparalleled and stunningly beautiful face.

Her face was as bright as the moon, pure and flawless; her figure was as graceful and delicate as a willow; her eyes were as bright as stars; her nose was straight; her lips were rosy; her black hair was like a waterfall, flowing and captivating; her cheeks were slightly flushed, like peach blossoms in early spring, beautiful and charming, making me feel pity for her.

Coupled with her superb piano skills, she was truly astonishing. Her beauty and talent complemented each other perfectly. Even though Yu Changsheng had seen many beautiful women in his past and present lives, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her at this moment.

As for Li Minghan, he looked like a lovesick fool. So Yu Changsheng turned around, glanced at Li Minghan with disdain, and gently patted his shoulder. Only then did the latter seem to wake up from a dream and chuckle at Yu Changsheng.

"Jing Xueyi, as expected of the famous beauty of the Wunian Sect, now that I see her, she truly lives up to her reputation."

Li Minghan sighed, and Yu Changsheng, Zhang Tianwen, and the others couldn't help but agree with him.

Feeling the intense gazes from below the stage, Jing Xueyi remained calm, smiled gently, ignored some of the invitations, and finally glanced around, her gaze lingering almost imperceptibly on Yu Changsheng. Clearly, she had been paying attention to what had just happened backstage, so she gave Yu Changsheng another look before gracefully taking her leave of the stage.

"It would be so nice to invite her to dinner."

Li Minghan shook his head with a sigh, his eyes filled with regret and a sense of melancholy.

"It's alright." Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said.

To him, Jing Xueyi was beautiful, but that was all; she was ultimately just a pretty face with a skeleton in the sky.

"Work hard in your cultivation, and you will have whatever you want in the future."

After thinking for a moment, glancing at Li Minghan's seemingly lingering expression, Yu Changsheng added another sentence.

"That's true." Li Minghan nodded in agreement, raised his glass to Yu Changsheng, and chuckled. "But I think, Changsheng, if you're willing, with your methods, you still have a good chance of winning this young lady's heart."

As he spoke, Li Minghan raised an eyebrow at Yu Changsheng and chuckled.

"You're overthinking it." Yu Changsheng said helplessly, giving Li Minghan a slight glare.

"No way, isn't this where you are in the Myriad Manifestations Sect?" Li Minghan shrugged, looked at Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen, and the two behind him paused their wine glasses, thought about it carefully, and then nodded in agreement.

Looking at Yu Changsheng, he pondered for a moment and said, "I think Li Minghan is right. Changsheng, you are good-looking and an alchemist. Didn't you see that Jing Xueyi was paying special attention to you just now?"

Shen Xingchen watched this scene with a smile in her eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing me." Yu Changsheng waved his hand helplessly upon hearing this. "They only glanced at me a few more times because of my actions just now. It's not like what you're saying. With my looks, who would even look at me?"

"Really? You're being too modest," Shen Xingchen chimed in with a laugh.

Yu Changsheng didn't care about the teasing from the crowd and continued eating and drinking.

As Jing Xueyi left, the scene became noisy again, but the focus of the conversation shifted from Yu Changsheng to Jing Xueyi's stunning appearance.

After that, the disciples of the Wunian Sect performed again, but without Jing Xueyi, although they were all very good, they lacked a bit of wow factor, and the group of people were somewhat uninterested.

Before long, Yu Changsheng, having eaten and drunk his fill, returned to his room contentedly.

The rooms at the Earth-level are filled with spiritual energy, and feature artificial mountains, flowing water, pavilions, and courtyards. If needed, one can even add some spirit stones to request pets from the innkeeper. It can be said that they are worth the price.

Yu Changsheng didn't have high requirements for these environments. Returning to his bedroom, he took a deep breath, suppressed his other thoughts, and released the corpse of the Thunder Eagle with a flick of his sleeve.

"Thunder Eagle, a third-tier thunder and wind attribute spirit beast, is perfect. It can be used as material to evolve my Golden-Winged Eagle."

Yu Changsheng murmured, placing his finger on the massive corpse of the Thunder Eagle. With a gentle touch and a thought, a faint light emanated from his fingertip, and a mysterious power enveloped the Thunder Eagle's corpse.

【Demon Refining and Extraction】

[100000 Essence Points consumed; successfully extracted a piece of the third-tier spirit beast Thunderhawk bloodline!]

A burst of brilliant light flashed, and under this light, the corpse of the Thunder Eagle was continuously decomposed, eventually condensing into a drop of blood exuding a strong Thunder Eagle aura. It floated in the void, with sparks of electricity emanating from it.

Yu Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and he grasped the blood with a wave of his hand, summoning the Golden-Winged Eagle and gently stroking its head.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The golden-winged eagle cried out excitedly, nuzzling Yu Changsheng's palm affectionately, its eyes revealing a longing as it looked at the blood on his hand.

Yu Changsheng smiled gently and slowly placed the blood in his hand on the end of the Golden-Winged Eagle. As it swallowed, a thick blood light emanated from the Golden-Winged Eagle, accompanied by the continuous sounds of wind and thunder.

[Spirit Beast Metamorphosis]

[Consuming one portion of the Thunderhawk bloodline and 200000 essence points, the Golden-Winged Eagle has received an upgrade: its cultivation level and bloodline potential have increased! Its speed has been greatly improved, its physical strength has been enhanced, and its lightning element immunity has been enhanced!]

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

[Gained the innate divine power, Wind and Thunder Thousand Moon Slash! A whirlwind of lightning! The second form gains the Water and Thunder skill, which inflicts paralysis!]

.........

Looking at the string of fluctuating data in front of him, Yu Changsheng stroked his chin and smiled knowingly.

"Although I'm still at the peak of the second tier, I've taken another step forward. Before entering this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, this improvement is quite good. It gives me an extra bit of self-protection."

Yu Changsheng pondered, looking at the golden-winged eagle whose brilliance had faded. Its appearance had not changed much, except that its beastly eyes were even more piercing, and its wings were crackling with electric arcs and flashing with purple lightning. With a flap of its wings, the sound of wind and thunder howled.

After playing with the Golden-Winged Eagle for a while, Yu Changsheng recalled it back to his inner world. While pondering, he took out the jade tube that Chen Yang had given him.

"And this so-called Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, you can also learn about it in advance."

Although the sect has provided some information about the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, it is only the most basic knowledge, and the specifics are not clear.

As Yu Changsheng pondered, his consciousness slowly sank into the jade tube, and a flood of information surged into his mind.

"The Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm has a long history."

"It can be traced back to ancient times, to an ancient battlefield. In the end, due to a battle that shook the heavens and the earth, the battlefield was shattered into countless fragments, some of which have been reduced to ashes. A small portion of these fragments were preserved intact and became a secret realm..."

"The Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm is one of them. It was found by the first sect master of the Xuan Yin Sect. He broke through the secret realm and obtained countless treasures and secret manuals, eventually rising to power and establishing the Xuan Yin Sect."

.........

After a stick of incense had burned, and having fully digested the information in the jade tube, Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, lost in thought.

"I see. In that case, the opportunities in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm are quite good for me."

"Although so many years have passed, and the truly valuable items have been looted by a group of powerful beings, there are still some things that they look down on, which are invaluable treasures to us Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"There have even been occasional instances where disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect have obtained high-grade spiritual treasures, top-grade spiritual treasures, and even the blood of some high-level spiritual beasts from this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm... It has happened before."

As Yu Changsheng pondered this information, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously swallowed.

"What I need to be careful about is that the strange creatures contained within, known as evil spirits, are life forms formed by the combination of ancient evil souls and malevolent energy. They are ferocious and bloodthirsty, and have no reason. Like wild beasts, they pose a considerable threat to cultivators."

Besides the information contained in the jade tube, there was also a fixed map of the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm. However, it only showed a portion of the first level, but it marked the points that needed attention. Although incomplete, it was still a rare and precious find.

After copying and sending this information to Li Minghan, Zhang Tianwen, and Shen Xingchen, Yu Changsheng stopped paying attention and closed his eyes to continue cultivating.

As time passed, a week flew by. When the three mighty bells resounded throughout Tian Sha City, the disciples of the three sects and six factions, as well as some other independent cultivators and people from small and medium-sized forces, had all arrived at the central square of Tian Sha City.

For a time, the scene was quite lively, with nearly a thousand people, including the leaders and elders of various sects. It could be said that the power gathered here at this moment could easily annihilate any sect in the Martial Continent.

"Wow, what a spectacular sight!"

At the location of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Li Minghan looked at the people divided into several camps in front of him, marveling and sighing with admiration.

"It can be said that all the young talents of the entire Wuzhou are here. This trip to the secret realm should be very lively."

"Yes, such a grand event is indeed a rare opportunity, but there are also many dangers. Once inside, safety should be the top priority. Opportunities cannot be forced."

Zhang Tianwen nodded and then turned to give a few words of advice.

"Mm." Yu Changsheng and the others nodded in agreement. On the high platform of the square, a burst of light appeared, and a group of disciples and elders of the Xuan Yin Sect emerged. Each of them was dressed in a blood-red robe, with a faint aura of killing intent emanating from them. Their expressions were filled with undisguised arrogance as they looked down at the group of sect disciples below the platform.

For a moment, he even seemed to be looking down on them.

"Quiet."

As a soft voice echoed in everyone's ears, everyone's mind was jolted, and the previously noisy scene immediately fell silent, with all eyes falling on Zhu Zhengping on the stage.

Zhu Zhengping's gaze swept around the square once more, he coughed lightly, a smile appearing on his face, and his booming voice rang out again:

"Welcome to all the prodigies of Tian Sha City. My Xuan Yin Sect apologizes for any shortcomings in our hospitality." (End of Chapter)
