Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Yu Changsheng was unaware of the commotion behind him. He had only walked quite a distance when, as if sensing something, he turned back suspiciously.

"Ah Qing!"

Yu Changsheng sneezed, touched his nose, shook his head, and muttered something.

"Who's calling my name? It doesn't matter, we're almost there anyway."

After this little incident, the rest of the journey was surprisingly smooth. Along the way, there were no major incidents, and Yu Changsheng even gained some extra benefits.

Because the inner part of Zizhu Mountain is rarely visited by humans, many kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines have grown there, and their growth is very promising.

"Hehe, I'm the one who got all the benefits."

Yu Changsheng naturally accepted all of these with a smile.

Not long after, half an hour later, Yu Changsheng slowly stopped.

All around, purple bamboo swayed, and before him stood a smooth, abrupt cliff. Weeds grew rampant on the cliff, yet through the surface weeds, one could see mysterious patterns hidden beneath.

Interestingly, the purple bamboo all around, regardless of which direction it grows, seems to intentionally or unintentionally avoid this cliff face.

"According to the map, this is it..."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then slowly stroked the cliff face with his hand. The next moment, he froze, as if he had been electrocuted, and quickly lowered his hand.

"Such a powerful sword intent?"

Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised. After shaking his hands, he let out a long breath, moved his consciousness slightly, forced back the numbness in his mind, and fell into deep thought.

"It has a similar effect to what I felt back in the Cloud Mist Valley, on the Sword-Thinking Cliff. It seems the master is the same..."

Yu Changsheng frowned again, observing carefully. After hesitating for a moment, he placed his hand on the cliff face once more.

Hidden by the weeds, Yu Changsheng hadn't seen it clearly before, but now he understood that these lines were actually sword marks, from which the sword intent arose.

This sword intent reveals an ancient and domineering aura, as well as an indomitable spirit. It carries the mottled vicissitudes of time, yet it cannot conceal the intent within, which seems capable of severing the river of time and traversing countless ages.

"The Primordial Beginning? The Sword of Creation?"

Yu Changsheng's brow twitched as he sensed this intent. For some reason, he naturally recognized the name of this sword strike.

So, with a furrowed brow, he tried again to sense things carefully, hoping to understand something, but all he could do was remain in a blur and gain nothing.

"Meng Wu'an used this sword technique before."

After a long while, Yu Changsheng slowly placed his hand on his palm, opened his eyes, and a trace of regret appeared on his face. He suddenly remembered the sword that Meng Wu'an had slashed on Sijian Cliff.

The unparalleled brilliance of that sword strike still amazes and envies Yu Changsheng, and now, here, he feels a similar sense of wonder.

"What a pity, it's not meant for me."

Yu Changsheng sighed softly, giving up the idea of ​​continuing to comprehend it. He knew nothing about swordsmanship; it would be a miracle if he could comprehend anything at all.

The unique nature of this cliff face further convinced Yu Changsheng that this was indeed the location of Cao Jinxian's remains.

"Um……"

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, and was about to take out the animal hide map to compare it when suddenly his expression changed, he turned his head sharply, and punched backward.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Like a flash of purple lightning, it streaked across the void, leaving only a series of purple afterimages, before lashing out at Yu Changsheng and landing in the same spot as his fist.

"Click, click, click..."

The next instant, a tremendous force emerged from Yu Changsheng's fist, a muffled groan rang out, a sweet smile appeared on Yu Changsheng's lips, he took three steps back, his expression slightly hardening.

"What is it?"

As the purple light dissipated, what struck Yu Changsheng was none other than a graceful purple bamboo, towering into the sky, its joints distinct and translucent, with countless branches growing outwards, and drops of dew dripping from its leaves.

To Yu Changsheng's surprise, although this thing was purple bamboo, it gave him the feeling of facing a purple bamboo sword. Its whole body exuded a sharp sword aura, and the sword intent rippled through the void.

"Is this... a spirit of purple bamboo?"

Yu Changsheng was speechless and spoke with some surprise. He could sense that the thing in front of him already possessed sentience.

"Human, this is not a place for you. Leave my territory."

Just as Yu Changsheng was surprised, the purple bamboo in front of him flickered and slowly transformed into a small figure in a purple robe, with flowing purple hair, staring at Yu Changsheng with a serious expression. The figure had a childish voice but a solemn tone.

"It even manifested as a spirit? How adorable!"

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Looking at the little man in front of him, ignoring his warning, his eyes lit up.

The tiny figure in front of him was only a third the height of Yu Changsheng. He wore a long purple robe that reached the ground. On his fair face, he had a pair of cherry-red lips. The pupils in his small eyes were strangely purple. His small ears were not human ears; they were pointed and stood up like those of an elf.

Her long purple hair was casually scattered, exuding an indescribable nobility. Her small body trembled, and her delicate little face looked very cute. However, at this moment, her face was tightly tense, her lips were pouting, and she looked at Yu Changsheng with an unfriendly expression and slightly cold eyes. In her arms, she held a long purple bamboo, which shimmered like crystal.

In short, to describe it in one word, it looks like a five or six-year-old child, extremely delicate and cute!

"Who are you calling cute? I'm quite fierce!"

Hearing Yu Changsheng "tease" her like that, the little porcelain doll gritted her teeth and glared at Yu Changsheng angrily, her gaze becoming increasingly hostile.

So she snorted coldly, her face turned cold, and with a wave of her hand, the purple bamboo in her hand fell down, tearing through the void in an instant, causing the surrounding purple bamboo to tremble and shake. A long purple rainbow, carrying astonishing sword energy, slashed through the void towards Yu Changsheng.

"Sword energy? You're something else!"

Yu Changsheng was even more surprised. He abandoned his contemptuous attitude, exhaled softly, and released his magic power wildly. Countless golden-winged eagle beast shadows appeared in front of him, blocking his way and neutralizing the sword energy.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The sword energy dissipated, and the beast shadows that Yu Changsheng had laid out also shattered.

This attack, though seemingly casual, caused Yu Changsheng's expression to turn slightly serious.

"What a fierce attack! The purple bamboo has become a spirit and possesses such sword energy. It's truly remarkable."

Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue in amazement, carefully sensing the aura emanating from the purple child, and understood in his heart.

"Late-stage Golden Core... This guy, I wonder how long he's existed here. Growing up in this place, affected by these cliffs, he actually mutated, transformed into a spirit, and even has this swordsmanship..."

"Hmph. Now you know I'm not someone to be trifled with, huh?"

Seeing that his attack had failed, the purple-haired child snorted coldly, looking at Yu Changsheng with an arrogant air, holding Zizhu in his arms, his expression showing a hint of smugness and vigilance.

"This attack is just a warning, human. If you don't leave my territory, I'm going to use my full strength."

The purple child bared its teeth and brandished its claws, gesturing wildly at Yu Changsheng as it warned him. Its aura, comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, descended upon Yu Changsheng, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Changsheng was both amused and exasperated, but he clasped his hands in a humble smile and said, "I didn't know this was your territory. I apologize for disturbing you. I'd like to apologize to you here."

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

Seeing Yu Changsheng's gentle demeanor, the purple-haired child was taken aback, pouted, and slightly subdued his imposing aura.

Yu Changsheng's eyes darted around, but he changed the subject, chuckling softly:

"However, I do have some matters to attend to here today, and I will need to disturb you for a moment. I hope you understand."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, the little purple child's face immediately tightened again. He pointed his little finger at Yu Changsheng, his face showing anger. Because of the anger, a blush appeared on both sides of his cheeks, making him quite handsome.

"You bastard, you can't just say whatever you do is none of my business anymore, but this is my house. You barge into my house like that, don't you have any manners?!"

Having said that, the little purple child clapped his hand on the purple bamboo in his arms, his fingers moving constantly. The purple bamboo, like a sword, instantly sliced ​​through the void, creating streaks of sword flowers, and stabbed towards Yu Changsheng.

Its speed was astonishing, and it carried a sharp sword intent that was unstoppable and moving. Wherever it passed, even the residual force broke all the surrounding purple bamboo forests, leaving ravines on the ground.

In an instant, purple light flashed, and purple bamboo leaves fell one after another. Only the purple bamboo sword, under the command of the purple child, shook its phantom and transformed into thousands of swords, blocking Yu Changsheng from all directions and shooting towards him.

"Crimson Hellfire Dragon!"

Yu Changsheng dared not be careless. Sensing the power within, the Crimson Hell Dragon appeared beside him, roared to the sky, and bursts of evil flames spread out, burning fiercely and turning into a sea of ​​fire that blocked Yu Changsheng's path.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

As the fiery aura surged, countless illusory images of purple bamboo swords shattered. More swords, however, pierced through the sea of ​​fiery aura and continued their fierce advance towards Yu Changsheng, their sword light filling the sky and their killing intent lurking beneath the surface.

"Colorful Star Deer!"

Yu Changsheng let out a low cry, his body retreating. With another wave of his hand, the Colorful Star Deer was summoned from the inner realm. With a light step, thorny vines rose from the ground, transforming into a cage and forming a second layer of protection, blocking the countless illusory purple bamboo sword lights.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yu Changsheng, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, broke through layers of obstacles with several flashes of light and suddenly appeared in front of the purple child, flames rising in his hands, the golden light dazzling.

"Dawnbreaker Fist!"

A phantom of a great sun merged into his fist, the fist light dazzling. Yu Changsheng's beard and hair stood on end, making him look like a god or demon. His punch, carrying immense power, went straight for the purple child's face.

The purple-haired child quickly retreated, his feet leaping through the air to create distance. As he did so, he slashed fiercely with the purple bamboo in his hand, unleashing thousands of sword lights that rained down on Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng's physical body and blood surged, and a golden light emanated from him, transforming into a cloak and armor. He completely ignored the sword light and, relying on his powerful physique, passed through it without changing his expression.

Upon seeing this, the little purple child's face showed a hint of panic. With a push of his little hand, the purple bamboo in his hand transformed into a stunning rainbow, like purple lightning tearing through the void, causing the void to tremble, and once again pierced towards Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed slightly, his blood surged, and he unleashed his full physical power with the Dawnbreaker Fist. Meeting the purple bamboo, Yu Changsheng's body trembled upon contact, while the purple bamboo was sent flying by the immense force. Yu Changsheng's fist continued its unstoppable charge towards the purple child.

"don't want!"

The purple child cried out in alarm, his phantom body trembled and flickered, and his face turned slightly pale.

Yu Changsheng's body suddenly froze. Just as his fist was about to land on the purple child's face, he abruptly stopped, calmly lowered his fist, and instead used his palm to gently rub the purple child's head, chuckling as he said:

"How could I bear to hit such a cute little one?"

The little purple child was stunned, staring blankly at Yu Changsheng. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and his eyes shifting. He didn't resist Yu Changsheng's large hand, letting him rub and knead his head.

Yu Changsheng smiled and gently stroked the purple child's head. A hint of surprise and uncertainty flickered in his eyes. He withdrew his divine sense, sensing the changes around him. His expression remained unchanged, but in his heart…

All around, at some unknown moment, all the purple bamboos had stopped emitting their purple light and silently bent towards Yu Changsheng's direction. The purple bamboos, like swords, revealed an indescribable cold gleam, and the leaves were all curled up, each one seemingly possessing a spirit.

A silent, almost imperceptible killing intent locked onto Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, chuckled as he looked at the purple-haired child, acting as if he posed no threat and trying his best to appear benevolent.

Just now, as his fist was about to land, he suddenly felt a violent life-or-death crisis erupting behind him, as if a sharp edge was looming over his back. That's why he withdrew his attack at the crucial moment.

Behind him, the upright and bent purple bamboo remained bent for a while after Yu Changsheng withdrew his attack, and then slowly returned to its original state.

Yu Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became even more amiable. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but pinch the purple child's cheek, chuckled, and took out a few pills from his pocket, handing them to the child. Suppressing the heartache in his heart, he waved his hand with feigned generosity and said with a heroic air:

"Consider this a gift from your brother for our first meeting, and also an apology for disturbing you this time. Please accept it."

The pills he took out were all grade three pills. If Yang Tianyi hadn't given him a lot of his wealth back then, he wouldn't have been able to be so generous.

As expected, the little purple child's furrowed brows first showed a hint of confusion upon seeing the pill in Yu Changsheng's hand, then relaxed. He didn't even notice the hand pinching his own cheek. After a moment's hesitation, he said coyly:

"Well... alright then, I'll forgive you this time."

Having said that, he swiftly snatched the pill from Yu Changsheng's hand and swallowed it whole, a look of enjoyment appearing on his face.
