Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword had a very simple idea: in its heart, its master, Cao Jinxian, was the most important person, and everything else was secondary.

Although Yu Changsheng is Cao Jinxian's junior brother, it would be impossible for him to easily obtain the inheritance because of this. If Yu Changsheng's talent is not recognized by him, the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword will even have some objections to Yu Changsheng.

After all, as a loyal sword spirit, Cao Jinxian is sacred and inviolable, high above all others in the understanding of the Immortal Sword. Therefore, whether Yu Changsheng is qualified to become his junior brother is still to be considered.

These thoughts swirled in the mind of the sword spirit, but on the surface, it maintained a smiling expression. After thinking for a moment, it slowly and deliberately said:

"Of course, in any case, as my master's junior brother, if you are qualified to inherit his talent, I will not be stingy. To obtain the inheritance, you need to go through three levels of trials."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword glanced at Yu Changsheng and continued:

"Don't say I don't care about you. You have the opportunity to withdraw from the trial at any time. Just let me know. However, if you do that, even if you don't pass the trial, you will be ineligible to inherit the legacy."

"In the past, once the trials began, there was no chance to quit halfway. It was either pass or perish. The useless and the weak were not worth my time. So, at least you don't need to worry about your safety."

When the sword spirit of the immortal sword spoke these words, it didn't look to the side, its tone was indifferent, and its words were very casual, as if in its understanding this was just a perfectly normal thing.

"Is that so...?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was taken aback, and hesitated for a moment before nodding gently.

As for ensuring that the trial would be safe, that was already quite good. Although Yu Changsheng had been deliberately exposing his relationship with Cao Jinxian from the beginning, he was not naive enough to think that with such a relationship, the spirit of the Immortal Sword would willingly hand over its inheritance to him.

The current result is not bad, and as for anything else, Yu Changsheng dares not ask for more.

After all, according to the spirit of the Immortal Sword, in the past, those who failed in the trials did not seem to have good results.

"In that case..." Yu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and respectfully whispered to the spirit of the Immortal Sword, "Senior, if it's convenient, I hope you can also show mercy to the child who came in with me..."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword glanced at Yu Changsheng, seemingly somewhat surprised, raised its eyebrows slightly, and nodded, saying:

"You mean the spirit that came with you? His condition is special, so you don't need to worry. Even if something unexpected happens during the trial, it won't mean he's destroyed. You should worry more about yourself."

As the sword spirit of the immortal sword spoke casually, a glint of dark light flashed in the depths of its eyes.

"That's good."

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, feeling somewhat relieved. He still wanted to take care of the little purple child to some extent, and hearing what the spirit of the Immortal Sword said made him feel much more at ease.

"If you're ready, the trial will begin now."

The spirit of the Immortal Sword glanced casually at Yu Changsheng and spoke indifferently.

"Mm." Yu Changsheng nodded gently.

"The entire trial is divided into three levels. The first level tests your comprehension and talent in swordsmanship. As you should know, your senior brother is a top genius who cultivates both swordsmanship and beast taming. Therefore, this inheritance must also be related to swordsmanship. You should be prepared."

"To be honest, I don't have high hopes for you, because all I can sense from you is the aura of beast taming, not a trace of swordsmanship. If you can't hold on during the trial, remember to let me know."

After the sword spirit finished speaking, a pair of sharp eyes looked at Yu Changsheng, waiting for his answer.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to give me your guidance, senior."

Yu Changsheng maintained a very good attitude, being extremely respectful and gentle, leaving no room for criticism. He also showed no arrogance despite being Cao Jinxian's junior brother, which greatly pleased the spirit of the Immortal Sword.

So, nodding to himself, he followed the spirit of the Immortal Sword as it floated up. With a gentle wave, the Immortal Sword, which was stuck in the ground, trembled slightly and hummed, bursting forth with boundless sword intent. The entire space rippled, spreading out in layers of waves, and the stars in the sky twinkled continuously. A terrifying will suddenly descended.

And so, sword shadows appeared one after another in the sky, densely packed, hanging diagonally across the heavens. The sword light filled the sky, obscuring the starlight. The sword intent soared to the heavens, the sword shadows swayed, leaving behind sword marks like trails of light. Their power was self-contained, yet they contained hidden mysteries.

"This trial is called 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.' Every sword shadow here will cause you real damage. Pay attention to the trajectory and sword intent of these sword shadows, and carefully comprehend them. Hidden within them are sword techniques. Once you comprehend a part of the sword techniques, you will be able to control the corresponding part of the sword shadows."

"The attacks of these sword shadows will grow stronger over time, so you need to comprehend the sword techniques within them and hone your sword intent as quickly as possible."

"Finally, when you can control 60% of the sword shadows—okay, I'll lower the bar a bit for you. You only need to control about 10% of them—then you'll pass this test."

The voice of the sword spirit of the immortal sword suddenly became ethereal, echoing throughout the space like a great bell. Standing amidst the countless sword shadows, it was like a king among swords, with a calm and composed expression. It looked down at Yu Changsheng and spoke softly.

"Did you understand? Do you still have any questions? If not, the trial will begin now."

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly as he looked up at the countless sword shadows hanging in the sky, their tips pointing at him, radiating cold light. The power of a single sword was not surprising, but the combined power was enough to make Yu Changsheng take it seriously and feel secretly alarmed.

And the number of these sword shadows was dense, probably no less than tens of thousands.

"To control even half of them, that is, five thousand sword shadows, is no easy feat..."

After taking a deep breath and confirming that he was in peak condition, Yu Changsheng gently clasped his hands in a fist salute to the spirit of the Immortal Sword and nodded, saying:

"I understand, thank you, senior."

"it is good."

The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword gave Yu Changsheng a deep look, its eyes seemingly full of meaning. Then, with a gentle wave of its hand, the sword shadow that had been brewing for a moment completely erupted. The sword's power was released, and the terrifying pressure burst forth without any concealment.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Each sword shadow transformed into another astonishing rainbow, breaking through the limitations of speed, like a meteor shower of swords falling down, carrying unparalleled momentum, and following a specific trajectory, stabbing down towards Yu Changsheng.

Sword shadows like stars, sword intent like rainbows, the void trembled, and countless sword shadows joined together, like the performance of a vast symphony that transcends heaven and earth. Individually, they were all without any rules, but together they formed a magnificent movement with overwhelming momentum.

And this sword technique is hidden beneath this musical composition.

The music was constantly changing, with ups and downs, and at times it would burst forth with killing intent. A world-shaking divine weapon arrived with the chilling pressure, and from a single point, it exploded into a whole.

Countless sword shadows fell and swirled, all hurtling towards Yu Changsheng.

"Divine Light Breaks Through the Body and Reaches the Heavens!"

Yu Changsheng roared, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, transforming into a golden cloak that hung on his body. His entire body was covered in a layer of golden sand, forming a protective shroud.

With his physical strength fully unleashed, the Divine Light Breaking Through the Body and Reaching the Heavens Technique, as the Yang family's supreme secret technique for enhancing the physical body, naturally possessed astonishing power, and had helped Yu Changsheng turn the tide of battle many times.

With the blessing of the Divine Light Breaking Body and Reaching Heaven Technique, Yu Changsheng's physical strength, power, defense, and recovery ability all increased significantly.

But that wasn't all. After using the Divine Light Breaking Through the Heavens Technique, Yu Changsheng closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

"Thousand Mountains Technique, Thousand Mountains Armor!"

Rumble! A thick armor, as heavy as earth and stone, covered Yu Changsheng's entire body. The power of the earth surged continuously, divine light pierced through his body, and his cloak fluttered in the wind. At this moment, Yu Changsheng's aura was like a rainbow. His physical body, which was already at the peak of the Golden Core stage, reached an inconceivable level once again.

As Yu Changsheng's cultivation level continued to improve, the Thousand Mountains Technique was becoming somewhat inadequate for his needs. However, fortunately, Yu Changsheng was highly proficient in this technique, and when used in conjunction with the Divine Light Breaking Body and Reaching Heaven Technique, it could still produce considerable effects.

Clad in a towering cloak and wearing the Thousand Mountains Armor, the two merged, unleashing the full power of his physical body. Under the sky full of sword shadows, Yu Changsheng remained as still as a mountain, his blood and qi surging like a vast ocean. Each sword shadow that fell only left faint white marks on his armor, which were instantly restored to their original state.

"What a powerful physique..."

Under the indifferent gaze of the Immortal Sword Spirit, who was closely watching Yu Changsheng's every move, her pupils shrank slightly upon seeing this, showing some surprise.

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

"However, this is just the beginning. Its power is less than one-tenth. Even if you have an amazing physical body and can gain some advantage, this test will ultimately test your comprehension and sword talent."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword smiled and shook its head inwardly, muttering to itself.

"And you, someone who has never even touched the way of the sword, how could you possibly pass? The master's inheritance is a fusion of the way of the sword and beast taming. Even if I wanted to give you only one of them, it would be impossible..."

"Good luck. If you pass, I'll naturally have a big gift for you."

With a soft sigh, the sword spirit of the immortal sword cast aside these miscellaneous thoughts and focused on presiding over the trial.

The sword light was like a torrent, and the sword fell like a meteor. Beneath the meteor was Yu Changsheng's body, as imposing as a mountain and as vast as the sea, standing firm amidst the storm of sword shadows. He was silently enduring the attack without uttering a sound, while also carefully comprehending and concentrating on his work.

"These sword techniques are so damn chaotic and disorganized."

A chaotic stream of sword shadows flowed by, each radiating astonishing sword intent, and some even possessing unique trajectories. When they combined, they revealed something.

Yu Changsheng frowned. He could vaguely sense something, but he was always a little short. The protection was like a thin layer of paper, but he couldn't break through it.

"I should have learned some swordsmanship beforehand..."

"Fine, since we haven't made contact before, we'll observe to the extreme and eventually find some clues... and just a little clue will be enough..."

Yu Changsheng had a headache. He muttered to himself, then let out a long breath. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and a vast power of divine sense erupted from Yu Changsheng!

The sea of ​​consciousness trembled. Although this divine consciousness was not astonishingly lawless in strength, it was as vast as the ocean, containing everything like a sea that embraces all rivers.

"This divine sense... has also reached the peak of the Golden Core stage..."

As the spirit of the Immortal Sword sensed all of this, its pupils contracted again, and it looked at Yu Changsheng with a slight frown.

"With your peak Golden Core physical body and spiritual sense, plus your age, I can sense that you could enter the Golden Core realm at any time... That's quite remarkable..."

"Interesting. This junior brother of the master is not bad."

After the sword spirit of the immortal sword gently exhaled, a slight smile appeared on his face, and his eyes held an even deeper meaning.

"In that case, even if you don't manage to control even half of the sword shadow in the end, I can still let you pass this level. I'll give you a chance. How far can you go...?"

These thoughts flashed through the mind of the sword spirit of the immortal sword, and thus, its interest grew even stronger.

……

On the other side, sword shadows fell like rainbows, and even with Yu Changsheng's physical body, he felt obvious pressure.

The damage it inflicted on Yu Changsheng was already able to penetrate through layers of protection and reach his physical body, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

As the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword said, over time, the sword intent has become significantly stronger in both attack frequency and attack power.

Fortunately, with the all-out unleashing of his divine sense, the foundations of these countless sword shadows, their every movement, and every burst of sword intent and light, were clearly and infinitely revealed in Yu Changsheng's mind.

"Disassemble, analyze, and experience..."

Yu Changsheng continuously shattered and separated the sword shadows, revealing every detail. Under this extreme observation, even though Yu Changsheng had never been exposed to swordsmanship, he was able to sense some of the techniques.

One after another, sword shadows flashed and streaks of sword light raged, striking Yu Changsheng's body while also making it easier for him to observe.

And so, amidst the blur, a hazy sword intent was captured. Within Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness, this sword shadow naturally formed an order, floating erratically, and a sword technique was faintly taking shape...

"The Sword of the Fallen Goose..."

At this moment, Yu Changsheng was completely immersed in the sword shadows. The pain in his body was subconsciously ignored, and the techniques within the sword shadows became increasingly clear.

The sword flashed out like a rainbow, and it seemed as if a startled swan had appeared before my eyes. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a sword.

"A startled swan, a fallen goose..."

Lost in rapt attention, Yu Changsheng suddenly felt as if a windowpane had been shattered... (End of Chapter)
