Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Mysterious, truly mysterious!"

At this moment, a storm had swept through Yu Changsheng's mind. As insights surged forth, the Myriad Spirits Technique slowly began to operate in reverse!

Suddenly, Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Crimson Hell Dragon guarding him froze, hovering in the air. Yu Changsheng lightly touched the Crimson Hell Dragon with his finger, and as the Myriad Spirits Technique reversed its flow, it gently carried out a bit of Yu Changsheng's true spirit, which surged into the Crimson Hell Dragon's mind.

The Crimson Dragon trembled slightly, trusting Yu Changsheng completely and offering no resistance, letting its guard down entirely.

A moment later, Yu Changsheng released the Crimson Hell Dragon, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, gently touched his forehead to withdraw this bit of true spirit, and smiled slightly.

"That's how it was originally..."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, his hands constantly shifting and his magic power surging. Finally, he pressed his palm down, and a dancing dark red flame appeared in front of him.

With another wave of his hand, afterimages flashed by, and the dark red flames suddenly surged, spreading outwards and transforming into a vast sea of ​​fire, burning fiercely and constantly emitting black malevolent energy.

"Fierce Inferno!"

The Crimson Hell Dragon stood to the side, staring blankly at the scene. Its dragon eyes were wide open, and its long beast face was full of disbelief and confusion. In the end, it only let out a cry and affectionately nuzzled against Yu Changsheng.

"Master, how did you do that? Isn't that my supernatural power?"

The Crimson Hell Dragon spoke in a deep, human voice, expressing its doubts with curiosity.

The divine power that Yu Changsheng used was none other than the innate divine power of the Crimson Hell Dragon.

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, shook his head, patted the Crimson Hell Dragon's head, looked down at his own palm, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Spirit is a mysterious existence. It exists everywhere in the universe, including living beings. It can record an individual's cultivation level, memories, soul... everything will leave its mark on it..."

"Just now, I used the Myriad Spirits Technique to sense and copy the part of the Crimson Hellfire Dragon's spirit related to the Divine Power of the Fiery Purgatory... This process went surprisingly smoothly, partly because of the spirit beast contract. To some extent, the Crimson Hellfire Dragon and I are of the same origin."

As Yu Changsheng thought to himself, his gaze grew brighter and his thoughts became clearer.

"Although this process would be much more difficult for others, this method is just as domineering. With this, everything about living beings is exposed before me... They are just a collection of various spirits..."

Saint-level cultivation techniques are all extremely rare in the world, and naturally they have their own powerful aspects.

"So this is the true power of the Myriad Spirits Technique. If it is both about transforming one into myriad things and returning myriad things to one, then only by combining these two and forming a cycle can the true essence of the Myriad Spirits Technique as a Saint-level technique be unleashed!"

Yu Changsheng's gaze was like lightning, and the Myriad Spirits Technique within his body began to operate wildly. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into him, and the Dao Seed in his sea of ​​consciousness shattered with a crack, turning into streams of warm energy that flowed into every part of Yu Changsheng's body.

At this moment, his physical body, which had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, became even stronger, his divine sense became more solid, and his cultivation level was climbing involuntarily. Under the frenzied whipping of the Myriad Spirits Technique, the Heavenly Dao Qi was completely integrated into the embryonic form of the Golden Core in Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​life.

Completely integrated, without distinction, boundless Dao essence suddenly emerged from around Yu Changsheng, permeating the surroundings and illuminating the ruins.

"I'm just one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. My foundation is completely full... but it's not time to break through yet."

After a long while, Yu Changsheng gently opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt the surging blood and qi within his body, as well as the abyss-like divine sense, lost in thought.

"With my current level of accumulation, perhaps once I reach the Golden Core stage, I will experience a qualitative breakthrough. At that time, how much will my combat power increase?"

Yu Changsheng suppressed his thoughts, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the spirit of the Immortal-Following Sword in the sky, and said:

"Thank you for your help, senior."

"Hmm, not bad." The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword nodded and smiled faintly at Yu Changsheng. "I can't help you much. Now that you've advanced the Myriad Spirits Technique to the Saint-level, this trial is only one step away from completion."

"The first test was to examine your swordsmanship, and the second test was to examine your beast taming. You performed both excellently. However, I can sense that you've probably never practiced swordsmanship before, have you?"

The spirit of the Immortal Sword chuckled and asked, though it was a question, its tone was certain.

"Yes. No, this is the first time."

Yu Changsheng felt embarrassed and subconsciously scratched his nose. He chuckled.

"From the very first time, you comprehended the sword technique of the Primordial Creation Sword. This is enough to show that you have talent in swordsmanship. It's quite amazing."

The sword spirit shook its head, not really caring about the matter, and was filled with emotion.

"However, your sword only has form but lacks soul. This third trial is also a great opportunity for you. I will merge your swordsmanship with your beast-taming skills, making them inseparable, which will greatly accelerate your training process."

The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword smiled faintly and uttered a surprising statement, which clearly startled Yu Changsheng.

"The fusion of two paths?"

Yu Changsheng didn't quite understand this explanation, so he looked at the spirit of the Immortal Sword with a puzzled expression.

The latter nodded, gave Yu Changsheng a profound look, and explained, "Beast taming and sword taming are both forms of control, just one is inanimate and the other is alive, so naturally they have something in common."

"The paths to the great Dao are different, yet they all lead to the same destination."

"In the past, I really wouldn't have had a good way to make you combine two paths into one, but now, I have an idea that's perfect for you."

Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought, and a realization dawned on him.

After a long while, Yu Changsheng clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the spirit of the Immortal Sword, saying, "Please give me your guidance, senior."

"It's not really about giving guidance." The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword remained calm. After thinking for a moment, it made a gesture with one hand, and in the next instant, a gleaming jade-like sword embryo appeared in the void.

The sword blank is entirely white, with a somewhat crystal-clear feel. The blade is sharp and flashes with cold light. The sword is three feet and six inches long and two inches wide. Mysterious patterns are engraved on it, showing the marks of time, but it lacks some charm.

"This is……"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, looking at this scene with a slightly surprised expression.

"This sword blank... was originally..."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword, with a nostalgic gaze, landed on the sword embryo. It opened its mouth as if about to say something subconsciously, but suddenly stopped, sighed softly, shook its head, and did not continue speaking.

"Enough of the past. This sword blank now belongs to you."

The sword spirit glanced at Yu Changsheng, hesitated for a moment, and then threw the sword embryo at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng subconsciously caught it, looked down to examine it, and carefully stroked it. It felt cool to the touch and seemed to have a calming effect on the mind, and some distracting thoughts disappeared.

I gently tapped the sword blank. The sword blank trembled slightly, and a crisp sound echoed.

"This jade sword is made of extraterrestrial celestial stone. It has a calming and tranquilizing effect, and it also enhances one's cultivation and absorption of spiritual energy. Furthermore, it is extremely tough and difficult to destroy for those below the Nascent Soul stage."

As the sword spirit softly explained, it unleashed a burst of sword energy that struck the jade sword. The jade sword blank only trembled slightly and remained undamaged.

"By the way, the material used for that piece of warm dragon jade in your hand is the same as that used for this sword blank."

"No wonder it felt so familiar, it turns out that's how it is."

Yu Changsheng nodded, then said in realization.

"It originally belonged to your senior brother. Giving it to you now is like returning it to its rightful owner."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword gave a slightly complicated look, a barely perceptible sigh, and gently shook its head before solemnly addressing Yu Changsheng:

"Take a drop of your heart's blood and drip it onto this sword."

"oh."

Yu Changsheng naturally had no objection. He obediently patted his chest, and a drop of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He then smeared it on his hand and gently placed it on the jade sword.

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

"Buzzing..."

The jade sword trembled slightly. As soon as Yu Changsheng's blood was dripped onto it, it was immediately absorbed. On the crystal-clear jade-like sword, a blood-red pattern faintly flashed and disappeared.

"it is good."

As the sword spirit nodded, it gently stroked the jade sword with its finger, imprinting strange patterns on it. Finally, it exhaled a breath, which enveloped the blade and transformed into a faint halo.

"Imprint your soul upon it, and restrain yourself from it."

After doing all this, the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword was slightly pale, and its tone was also a little tired as it spoke softly.

Yu Changsheng did as instructed without hesitation. After imprinting his soul onto the jade sword, he gently weighed it. There were no strange changes, but he could vaguely feel that he and the jade sword seemed to have some inexplicable connection.

"What's left to do?"

Yu Changsheng looked up at the spirit of the Immortal Sword and asked curiously.

After pondering for a while, the sword spirit of the immortal sword swept its gaze across the jade sword and slowly said, "Although this sword blank is made of special material and is a rare treasure, it has not been sharpened and has not yet been truly completed."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword paused for a moment, then continued:

"If you have the time, you can nurture it day and night, which is also possible. However, I have another method. You are just beginning to learn the way of the sword, and normally it would take you a long time to learn."

"Since you are a beast tamer, then follow the beast tamer's method. If you want this sword to be truly completed, it's simple. Just put a sword spirit into it and let it take your place in nurturing the sword."

"My master did the same thing in the past, so besides me, there were many sword spirits by his side. However, I was the first to follow him and was given the title of 'Follower Immortal'."

As the sword spirit spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in its eyes.

Then it glanced at Yu Changsheng and continued, "Since you have the means to control beasts, you don't need to treat sword spirits and swords like beasts, unlike other sword immortals."

"I understand that, but Blade Spirit..."

Yu Changsheng was somewhat bewildered, and muttered in frustration, "Even top sword cultivators may not possess a sword spirit, so where am I supposed to find one?"

Sword spirits are divided into innate and acquired. Innate sword spirits are those that are born naturally after a sword has been imbued with spirituality over a long period of time, while acquired sword spirits are those that are born through some strange means and reside within the weapon.

In terms of rarity and power, innate sword spirits are naturally rarer. After all, any weapon that can spontaneously generate a sword spirit is an unparalleled divine weapon. However, acquired sword spirits are equally rare and something that many sword cultivators dream of.

Weapons with sword spirits and those without are completely different concepts, especially for sword cultivators. A sword with a sword spirit can unleash two hundred percent of its power in their hands.

At this moment, it was clear that the one following the words of the Immortal Sword Spirit was the acquired sword spirit.

Even if it were a sword spirit acquired through practice, Yu Changsheng couldn't imagine how he could obtain it in a short time. After all, he had only just begun to understand the way of the sword, and it was obviously impossible for him to nurture it.

"Where to look?" The spirit of the Immortal Sword chuckled, its eyes holding a deep meaning, and said with great interest, "Take a guess?"

"Huh?" Yu Changsheng hesitated, his gaze involuntarily falling on the spirit of the Immortal-Following Sword.

Right in front of him was a living, breathing sword spirit, and not just any sword spirit, but one that had existed for who knows how long.

The sword spirit of the Immortal Sword was stunned for a moment when it saw Yu Changsheng's expression. Then it realized what was happening, shook its head, and chuckled.

"You little rascal, you've got your eye on me now. But if it's alright, I wouldn't mind going out with you to see the sights. So many years have passed, I don't even know..."

As the sword spirit paused, its gaze dimmed almost imperceptibly. Deep within its eyes, like the calm surface of an ancient lake, a slight ripple stirred, as if it had thought of something.

"Hehe, it's just wishful thinking."

Yu Changsheng scratched his head and chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

"You've got a good idea," the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword glared at Yu Changsheng, but didn't blame him. Instead, it finally let out a soft sigh.

"However, my life is already completely bound to the Immortal Sword. Even if I wanted to go out and see the world with you, I would be powerless to do so. You should give up on that idea."

The spirit of the sword chuckled and made a joking remark.

Yu Changsheng wasn't surprised. He simply touched his nose, deliberately showing a hint of difficulty, and finally sighed and waved his hand, "Then it's a pity."

In fact, Yu Changsheng also realized that the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword was just talking; it was impossible for it to actually follow him.

"Alright, don't worry about my old bones. When the Immortal Sword is completely destroyed, I will also pass away."

The sword spirit of the immortal sword coughed, chuckled, and continued:

"Besides, isn't there someone even more suitable besides me here?"

"You mean...?"

Yu Changsheng's eyes darted around, and after a slight pause, he had a guess in his mind. (End of this chapter)
