Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"The Qi of Heaven—Evil..."

Yu Changsheng pondered, his thoughts shifting, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

"Have you thought it through? Actually, there's a reason why you were able to defeat Qiu Xing and the others so easily."

"Firstly, it's because after you integrated with the Heavenly Dao Qi, even if it's only half of it, it still allows you to thrive in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, fully unleashing your combat power. On the contrary, Qiu Xing and the others are more or less suppressed."

"On the other hand, within the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, the blood fiend energy is dense, and half of the Heavenly Dao energy has been integrated into it—fiend. Even if you are not familiar with it or cannot deliberately control this blood fiend energy, it still allows you to subtly reduce the consumption to the minimum in this place. It allows you to summon three third-tier beasts at the same time without feeling much pressure, and it also enhances the power of your supernatural abilities."

"Otherwise, even if you break through to the Pseudo-Core stage outside, it wouldn't be easy for you to defeat Qiu Xing and the others so easily."

The black tortoise continued to explain, and Yu Changsheng nodded, gradually understanding what the tortoise was saying.

Looking at the half-bloomed Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus in his hand, he smiled slightly.

"These benefits are great. I guess I'll have to take this risk. Without further ado, let's refine this treasure first."

Having made up his mind, Yu Changsheng no longer hesitated. He reached out and a flame appeared in his hand. Following the previous method, he began to refine the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus.

Practice makes perfect, and the second time was much easier. Before long, the remaining half of the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus was also refined into a pill, which was no different from the previous one. It was entirely blood-gold in color and looked very sacred.

Yu Changsheng twitched his index finger slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, resisted the urge to swallow the pill, and put it into his system inventory.

"Although I could break through to the Golden Core stage in the blink of an eye, it would be safer to wait until the secret realm ends, especially for the advancement to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, which seems to be accompanied by a heavenly tribulation... No rush... no rush..."

"Besides, I haven't claimed the first place reward yet. It's safest to get the pills when I get them."

Yu Changsheng silently recited in his heart, his thoughts calming down once again, slowly waiting for the end of the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm.

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

Although the Heavenly Fiend Ranking has fluctuated in the past two days, Yu Changsheng's first place position is hard to shake, and the overall situation is settled.

At a certain moment, Yu Changsheng, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's here, the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, is it finally coming to an end...?"

Yu Changsheng exhaled and looked up at the sky. The wind and clouds gathered, and a huge blood-red vortex slowly took shape, gently rotating.

Throughout the entire Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, regardless of which level one was on, the earth began to tremble slightly. Strands of bloodthirsty energy were drawn to the sky, causing obvious spatial fluctuations. Before long, a massive blood-red vortex replaced the sky, enveloping the earth. With the vortex, terrifying suction forces enveloped all living beings.

Yu Changsheng lowered his head, and the evil aura token at his waist trembled slightly. Streams of blood-red light fell from the sky, enveloping all parts of the secret realm. The same was true for Yu Changsheng's side, where the pulling force slowly erupted.

The entire Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm erupted with a powerful repulsive force. As a result, figures, some excited, some exclaiming, some with complex expressions and dejected moods, were all thrown into the vortex in the sky by this repulsion and were continuously teleported away.

However, things were different for Yu Changsheng.

"Perhaps I can stay?"

Yu Changsheng's expression was somewhat strange. He gently touched the crimson pillar of light enveloping him, and as his body rose into the air, the surrounding world did not emanate a repulsive force...

Instead, with the surge of bloodthirsty energy, Yu Changsheng felt that he was somewhat... reluctant to part with it.

With this lingering attachment, Yu Changsheng knew in his heart that if he insisted on not leaving, he could stay...

"Well, this place is nice, but staying here isn't a good idea. It's better to get out of here sooner and end this sooner."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, suppressing his other thoughts, exhaled, smiled slightly, and actively cooperated by entering the vortex in the sky above his head.

The bloodthirsty aura surged, swirling around Yu Changsheng, lingering and seemingly conveying its reluctance to part.

The world began to plunge into darkness, and after a dizzying spin, when I opened my eyes again, the world before me had been turned upside down.

At Tian Sha Square, a blood-red vortex also emerged in the sky. As time passed, figures descended from it, responding with the help of their respective sects.

"Qian Chengren of the Seven Star Sect... he's back too... As the sixth on the Heavenly Fiend Ranking, that's quite good, a very nice reward."

"Wen Hanhai of the Purple Rainbow Sect, such a prodigy, is indeed unharmed. I knew he would be in the top ten, and sure enough, he's fifth!"

.........

Discussions echoed throughout the entire Tian Sha Square, with people pointing and whispering, their eyes darting around, creating a cacophony of voices.

Some sects rejoiced, while others were sorrowful, their expressions varying. Only Zhu Zhengping, atop the high platform, remained composed.

"Cheng'er and the others will be back soon. I wonder which of the three of them will ultimately get the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus. But it doesn't matter which one gets it, it's all Cheng'er's..."

"At most, we can give them other compensation. The Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus can only unleash its full potential on Foundation Establishment cultivators at the ninth level of the Spirit Platform. Giving it to them would be a waste of its potential..."

Zhu Zhengping murmured to himself, then smiled slightly. The update of the number one spot on the Heavenly Fiend Ranking surprised him, but he wasn't angry.

After all, he valued the most important thing, and getting it was enough. As for the first place reward... although Zhu Zhengping felt a little regretful and heartbroken that it didn't end up in the hands of his own disciple, it was understandable. With the Xuan Yin Sect's vast resources, it wasn't unacceptable.

Zhu Zhengping was facing the figure of Qiu Xing and the other two, which was also teleported out. As soon as they landed, they caused everyone to exclaim and stare.

"These are... three prodigies from the Xuan Yin Sect?"

"Chou Xing, Yan Mo, and He Bicheng, these three almost occupied the top three positions in the entire Tian Sha Secret Realm. If it weren't for Yu Changsheng's sudden rise... they would have been the most prominent."

"Even so, the strength of the Xuan Yin Sect can still be seen from this. Among the three sects, the Zi Hong Sect and the Qi Xing Sect each have one person in the top ten, while the Xuan Yin Sect alone has three, and all of them are among the top..."

"The Xuan Yin Sect is indeed not to be underestimated. Even though they don't often appear in public, their strength is undeniable. The title of the number one sect in Wuzhou is not just empty words."

.........

Hearing the discussions around him, Zhu Zhengping's expression softened slightly, and his mood improved considerably.

"The first attempt was a bit unexpected, but the result now seems pretty good; we've built a reputation."

Zhu Zhengping muttered to himself, his gaze following the movement and landing on Qiu Xing and the other two.

As the light faded, Qiu Xing and the other two were stunned for a moment before recovering. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions, but said nothing more.

Qiu Xing's eyes were filled with resentment and frustration, Yan Mo's eyes were filled with hatred and anger, while He Bicheng looked somewhat dejected.

This scene also caught Zhu Zhengping's eye, causing him to feel slightly puzzled.

"It seems that Qiu Xing suffered some losses. Of course, he was unwilling to accept that the first place was suddenly snatched away. As for Yan Mo, he was unable to kill Yu Changsheng due to his rise to power. It seems that he still harbors resentment."

"As for Cheng'er, why does he look like this? Could something have happened?"

Observing the expressions of the three people, Zhu Zhengping felt a chill run down his spine, a bad feeling creeping over him.

The three of them clasped their fists together, flew to Zhu Zhengping's side, bowed, and whispered:

"Peak Master... This disciple has failed to live up to your expectations and did not win first place. I beg you to punish me."

"It's alright," Zhu Zhengping waved his hand, looked at the three of them, and was about to say something when the blood-red vortex began to spin and another blood-red beam of light descended.

This beam of light was unlike any other, being at least ten times wider, thus naturally attracting attention. The figure hidden within it possessed an extraordinary presence.

"This is……"

Zhu Zhengping paused, then squinted at the object.

"Yu Changsheng?! It's him!"

"Here he comes. The number one in the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm has arrived. I haven't paid much attention to this person before. I'd like to see what kind of genius he is who can overpower everyone else."

"The Myriad Manifestations Sect has been keeping a low profile for years, and it's quite unexpected that such a figure has emerged from it."

The beam of light dispersed, revealing a figure that elicited gasps of surprise – it was Yu Changsheng.

Before entering the secret realm, Yu Changsheng might have attracted some attention, but no one really cared. But now, everything was different. All eyes were instantly fixed on Yu Changsheng; he was the center of attention.

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

The disciples and elders of the sect squinted and stared intently, their gazes filled with scrutiny, doubt, admiration, and a complex mix of emotions.

Qiu Xing and the other two were stunned. Looking at the dazzling Yu Changsheng, their eyes darkened and their expressions became extremely complicated.

"Yu Changsheng..."

Lu Ruikai and Ruan Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light. In a flash, they appeared in front of Yu Changsheng, supporting him with concern in their eyes, and smiled:

"You're out? Did you get through your trip to the secret realm?"

After saying that, he took out bottles of pills and carefully examined Yu Changsheng's physical condition, his surprise evident in his eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader and Ancestor. I am safe and sound and have gained a lot."

Yu Changsheng clasped his hands in a fist salute, then bowed and whispered after realizing what was happening.

"Hahaha."

Ruan Hao stroked his beard and laughed heartily. Supporting Yu Changsheng, he looked at him with increasing admiration, his eyes overflowing with appreciation. He nodded to Yu Changsheng and smiled:

"Our Myriad Manifestations Sect has produced a fine talent. Good boy, the sect will reward you after you return. Don't worry about what you need."

Yu Changsheng paused, then nodded: "Thank you, Ancestor."

"Hmm." Ruan Hao nodded, glancing casually at Zhu Zhengping. Seeing that he didn't react, he shook his head and smiled gently, then helped Yu Changsheng walk towards the sect's territory.

In the short distance, countless gazes fell on Yu Changsheng, but Yu Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, revealing no other signs, and he appeared neither humble nor arrogant.

"Chang Sheng, it's good that you're back."

Upon seeing Yu Changsheng, a group of disciples from the Myriad Manifestations Sect couldn't help but show a respectful expression and bowed to him. Lin Wang and Ling Tianyi, among them, also bowed slightly to him.

Zhang Tianwen and the others smiled and approached Yu Changsheng, patting him on the shoulder with great concern.

"It's alright, the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm has finally come to an end."

Yu Changsheng responded with a smile, his gaze somewhat unfocused. He ignored the gazes of the other sects and whispered to Zhang Tianwen and the others.

Yu Changsheng was the last person to be teleported back. As he landed, the crimson vortex in the sky slowly subsided and eventually disappeared.

Zhu Zhengping also withdrew his gaze from Yu Changsheng, his body slowly rising into the air, and he spoke with a complex expression:

"After half a month of exploration in the secret realm, I believe that the disciples of each sect have gained a lot. Now, the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm has come to an end. Now, I can announce the top ten in this secret realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the square fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Zhengping, waiting for him to continue.

Zhu Zhengping let out a soft breath, shook his head to clear his mind, and with a flick of his sleeve, a huge blood-red light screen appeared—the Heavenly Fiend Ranking. At the same time, he spoke with divine thought:

"First place, Myriad Manifestations Sect..."

Zhu Zhengping paused, his gaze falling on Yu Changsheng.

"Yu Changsheng!"

After a slight pause, Zhu Zhengping did not linger any longer and quickly read out the names one by one, as if he did not want the limelight to be stolen by Yu Changsheng.

"Second place, Xuan Yin Sect, Qiu Xing."

"Third place, Xuan Yin Sect, Yama."

"Fourth place, Xuan Yin Sect, He Bicheng."

Zhu Zhengping pronounced the three names a little slowly.

"Fifth place, Zihongmen, Wen Hanhai."

"Sixth place, Seven Star Sect, Qian Chengren."

"Seventh place: Cang Lei Sect, Wang Haiyang."

"Eighth place: Chen Hong of the Overlord Sect."

"Ninth place: Yang Hao of the Wunian Sect."

"Tenth place: Crimson Fire Sect, Shen Guo."

……

Zhu Zhengping's voice stopped abruptly after announcing the top ten. As each name was revealed, the crowd's focus shifted to the person whose name was on it. Because of the deaths of Wuya and Chen Haolan, one person each from the Wunian Sect and the Chihuo Sect made it into the top ten.

However, without a doubt, the most eye-catching one is Yu Changsheng.

No one expected that the Wanxiang Sect would achieve first place, including its own members.

"Now, all you outstanding talents, please come up and receive your awards."

Zhu Zhengping, as expected of the head of a major sect, regardless of what he was thinking, still managed a smile on his face at this moment and said softly.

One by one, figures flew out from their respective sects' bases, landing in front of Zhu Zhengping according to their ranking.

Yu Changsheng was in the same situation, and his position was in the center of the group of ten, making him the center of attention. At this moment, no matter what the other nine people thought, they all paled in comparison.

"You are not bad. The future of Wuzhou depends on you."

Zhu Zhengping's lips twitched as he looked at Yu Changsheng and spoke softly. (End of Chapter)
