Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Nearly half a day later, Yu Changsheng, who was meditating to recover, slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and after feeling the state of his body, stretched vigorously.

"How's your recovery going? There's no need to rush. The trial has no time limit; as long as you can persevere, that's fine."

As the sword spirit of the immortal sword awoke from its meditation, it met Yu Changsheng's gaze and spoke softly.

"He's almost fully recovered, no need to waste any more time."

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, waved his arms to loosen his muscles and bones, and then said with a smile.

In just half a day, his energy and spirit had reached their peak again. Firstly, Yu Changsheng's physical recovery ability was already quite good, and the Myriad Spirits Technique also had a certain healing effect. In addition, with the help of pills, this speed was considered normal under the condition that it was powerful but not fatal.

Secondly, it seems that any injury heals within this ruined land with a certain degree of enhancement.

"Alright, get ready, the second trial is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword glanced at Yu Changsheng, but didn't insist. After a few twitches of its eyebrows, it slowly and methodically introduced:

"This second trial is different from the first trial. It tests your beast-taming skills. After the trial begins, ninety-nine spirit beasts will appear. These spirit beasts are not real, but only remnant souls, but they should not be underestimated."

"The power they unleashed was so great that even those in the Purple Mansion realm would find it difficult to escape unscathed. However, their power did not start out so great; it grew increasingly violent over time."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and organized its thoughts:

"Because these spirit beasts are only remnants of souls, their intelligence is also incomplete, leaving only their brutal instincts. Initially, the environment will suppress them, preventing them from going completely berserk at the beginning. However, this will gradually be broken later. At that time, with your cultivation level, you will surely die if you face the wrath of these ninety-nine spirit beasts."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, looked up at Yu Changsheng, and said:

"What you need to do is to try your best to calm and control these spirit beasts through beast taming techniques before they completely go berserk and out of control. The subsequent techniques of the Myriad Spirits Technique are also divided into ninety-nine parts. You need to contact the true spirits that exist in the remnant souls of these spirit beasts yourself."

"Similarly, as long as you can successfully control forty-nine of the spirit beasts, which is half of the trial, you will have passed this test."

After the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He smiled slightly with interest, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

"However, I must tell you that this is the only chance to comprehend the Myriad Spirits Technique, and if you want to obtain the complete technique, it's not enough to just pass this one test."

Only by achieving the ultimate mastery, completely controlling and further interacting with all ninety-nine spirit beasts, can you complete your Myriad Spirits Technique.

"Only in this way can your Myriad Spirits Technique truly and completely advance to the Saint-level cultivation method."

Yu Changsheng listened quietly, and he roughly understood what was going on. His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered something.

"In the end, this test is about beast taming skills. The previous test was about swordsmanship, and this test is about beast taming. Sure enough, Cao Jinxian, as a top genius who cultivates both paths, has the same inheritance."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, but then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the swordsmanship of the previous level, he preferred beast taming, since this was his home turf.

"However, it is much more difficult to control these beast souls while also delving into their true spirits to obtain the complete Myriad Spirits Technique."

As Yu Changsheng pondered these thoughts, he frowned slightly, rubbed his temples, and felt a headache coming on.

"These trials are no easy feat..."

However, now that they were already here, there was no reason to give up halfway. Therefore, after a while, Yu Changsheng nodded and respectfully addressed the spirit of the Immortal-Following Sword in the sky:

"Senior, I'm ready. We can begin the second level of the trial now."

"Hmm." The spirit of the Immortal Sword responded in a deep voice, coughed, and kindly reminded him with his hands behind his back, "Before we begin, let me remind you again: if you can't hold on, don't force yourself. After all, it's just a trial, and you shouldn't risk your life."

"If you encounter any danger, just let me know."

The sword spirit hesitated for a moment, a hint of struggle flashing across its face, but still let out a long breath and said awkwardly:

"If it doesn't work the first time, then try again. I can give you multiple chances for this trial, understand?"

In fact, the fact that they were able to achieve this level already indicates that the spirit of the Sword and Fairy was deliberately going easy on them.

Otherwise, if the trial participants are other people, the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword will only act according to the rules and will not give you any face. If you pass, you pass; if you fail, you perish. It is that cruel.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, but then he came to his senses and felt somewhat moved. So he bowed again, clasped his hands in gratitude to the spirit of the Immortal Sword, and said:

"Okay, then I'm extremely grateful. Thank you for taking care of me, senior..."

This news was naturally excellent for Yu Changsheng, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, if I can't pass it on the first try, will it affect my comprehension of the Myriad Spirits Technique?"

Yu Changsheng suddenly thought of this and asked a question.

The sword spirit of the game waved his hand, giving a very honest answer:

"Each time the trial is reopened, there will be some damage to these ninety-nine beast souls. The information of the Myriad Spirits Technique stored in their true spirits may also be affected and damaged. Therefore, let's try to pass it in one go."

As the sword spirit of the immortal sword breathed a sigh of relief, it gently tapped its head with its fingers, offering a kind reminder:

"After all, the inheritance of Saint-level cultivation techniques is different from others. There is a mysterious and special process called the inheritance of the Dao Seed. If you restart the trials too many times, the Myriad Spirits Technique that you inherit in the end may be missing a little and unable to form a Dao Seed. It is possible that it will not be able to advance to the Saint-level cultivation technique in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed, and he felt even more helpless.

"If there are such hidden dangers if I can't pass through in one go, isn't my biggest purpose in coming to this ruined cave precisely for this one cultivation technique?"

"If this leads to a mistake... I can't afford to take that risk."

"That's enough. Even if it means risking my life, I can't afford to fail. If I lose the chance to advance to a Saint-level cultivation technique because of this, that would be a lifelong regret."

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips, his brows furrowing slightly. After a long while, he took a deep breath and nodded to the spirit of the Immortal-Following Sword.

"This junior understands, and hopes that the senior will begin the trial."

"Ready? Let's begin."

As the sword spirit of the immortal sword spoke in a deep voice, without further hesitation, he took a deep breath and gently swiped his finger upwards.

Click...

Instantly, the Immortal-Following Sword, which was diagonally stuck in the center of the earth, trembled and suddenly emitted a bright light. Then, a stunning sword aura was slashed out, tearing through the void and heading towards the sky.

The sword energy was enormous, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart. The sword energy trembled, causing the stars for ninety thousand miles to shake. The ruins were filled with this magnificent sword light, and Yu Changsheng's entire mind was drawn to it.

"In the beginning, the heavens and earth were created..."

Yu Changsheng stared blankly at the sword, muttering to himself unconsciously.

With a single swing of the sword, the world faded in color, and even the starlight was torn apart like a tidal wave, causing the clouds to recede.

Boom!

The stars trembled, bursting forth with dazzling light. Finally, stimulated by the sword energy, the remnants of spirit beast souls seemed to break through their seals and stepped out.

"Roar roar roar!"

The roar of the beasts shook the heavens, transforming into a massive bell that resounded like muffled thunder in this ruined land, suppressing the starlight and the might of the heavens.

Yu Changsheng looked up, feeling the beastly aura that covered the entire space. Suddenly, his shoulders felt heavy, as if an invisible shackle had been placed around him.

One after another, beast souls appeared. These beast souls were not solid, but existed between illusion and reality. They were obviously broken and incomplete. However, even so, the pressure they exuded still made Yu Changsheng change color and secretly startled.

These beast souls, densely packed, numbering ninety-nine, fell from beneath the stars with unstoppable momentum, annihilating everything in their path. Their roars shook the heavens and earth.

Dragons and phoenixes dance, auspicious omens descend, lions and tigers clash, thunderous roars transform into lightning, a roc spreads its wings and soars, its great wings stirring up wind and clouds, flying fish transform the sky into the ocean, descending upon the boundless blue waves…

One after another, the spirit beasts, with their bloodshot eyes and suppressed ferocious instincts, stirred up an endless storm. Yu Changsheng only had a rough sense of each one, and the ones in front of him were at least third-level, with quite a few fourth-level as well!

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

"These remnant souls of spirit beasts were all killed by my master Zhenshi, so their rank is naturally not low."

As the spirit of the immortal sword spoke softly, it pointed its finger at Yu Changsheng, and instantly the remnant souls of the ninety-nine spirit beasts rushed towards Yu Changsheng, roaring incessantly, their oppressive power overwhelming the heavens.

"Be careful. Although this level is about taming beasts, it places considerable demands on the strength of one's spiritual soul. Only with a strong enough spiritual soul can one withstand the beastly might of these spirit beasts and make deep contact with them, thereby taming them."

As the sword spirit kindly reminded him, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Your spiritual strength is exceptionally high, giving you a significant advantage. So don't worry too much, just take it seriously."

Yu Changsheng frowned and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. In fact, even without the explanation from the sword spirit of the immortal sword, Yu Changsheng had already sensed it.

These spirit beasts have no physical form, only illusory souls. They bear little burden on their physical bodies, but a heavy burden on their spirits.

The first to be impacted is one's own soul. Moreover, each of these beast souls is left with only instinctive brutality. Any attempt to get close to them will inevitably be affected. Only a strong and solid soul can withstand the impact, maintain rationality, and avoid falling into boundless resentment.

Only on this basis can beast control be achieved.

"The first test seems to be a test of swordsmanship, but it also tests the physical body."

"The second test examines the ability to control beasts, but it also places a strong emphasis on testing one's spiritual soul."

"This inheritance is truly not something that ordinary people can obtain."

Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly, but also felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunately, his physical body and soul had almost reached the pinnacle of his current realm, and now the benefits were beginning to show.

In fact, this trial was designed to select such talents. Perhaps influenced by its master, the spirit of the Immortal Sword believed that a cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit were all indispensable.

Both the physical body and the soul are part of cultivation. Only geniuses who develop in all three aspects can go further and come into contact with the Great Dao.

And so this trial came about.

.........

The beast souls roared, each one carrying an uncontrollable ferocity. As they charged toward Yu Changsheng, various hand fragments appeared, including tigers roaring through the mountains and forests, and sound waves transforming into divine soul attacks that resounded through the void and echoed in all directions.

There are also dragons soaring in the sky, their might boundless, spewing forth endless seas of fire; and roc wings sweeping across the sky, unleashing boundless winds and thunder that reverberate through space; and strangely shaped divine birds, with a swipe of their claws, creating ripples of azure waves that cut through thorns and brambles, transforming into towering, monstrous waves…

Although these attacks were all illusory and could not harm Yu Changsheng's physical body, their impact on his soul was undeniable.

"call……"

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, his breath deep and resonant, and his sea of ​​consciousness trembled as well.

"Thousand Thoughts Slash!"

Divine consciousness transformed into lightning, and in an instant, thunder arose in the void. Countless jets of jet-black divine consciousness lightning flashed, densely packed, covering the void and blocking Yu Changsheng's way, enveloping the group of beast souls.

Boom!

Invisible waves surged, one after another, and thus, a storm arose. Yu Changsheng's gaze was sharp, like a world-shaking sword, its edge sheathed, its sharpness unparalleled.

An invisible force has begun to take shape within Yu Changsheng.

The divine sense at the peak of the Golden Core stage erupted without reservation, even to the point of overextension, as he dealt with the countless beast souls in the sky, while the Myriad Spirits Technique was also running wildly.

In an instant, a strange fluctuation triggered layers of Dao essence, spreading out from Yu Changsheng as the center.

"Here it comes, the Myriad Spirits Technique..."

As the sword spirit of the immortal sword focused its gaze, it murmured softly, its expression filled with nostalgia, and looked carefully at Yu Changsheng.

"This guy is quite skilled at controlling beasts, has mastered the Myriad Spirits Technique very well, has a special physique, and a powerful soul. Normally, this level shouldn't be difficult for him..."

"However, if one wishes to obtain the Dao Seed inheritance from it and complete the Myriad Spirits Technique, then it will likely not be easy..."

The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword thought to itself, but its face remained expressionless. It withdrew its various thoughts, thought for a moment, and then made a move against the countless beast souls in the sky.

With a flash of light, the attack unleashed by the beast soul immediately dropped a level.

Whether you succeed or not is entirely up to fate...

The sword spirit gently shook its head, having done all this, and then floated quietly in the air, observing.

Even he only has a certain degree of authority to modify parts of the inheritance trial; he cannot do whatever he wants.

.........

On the other side, Yu Changsheng naturally noticed everything the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword had done. As he relaxed slightly, he took the opportunity to cast a grateful glance at the sword spirit. (End of Chapter)
