Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"It's all over..."

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, his gaze complex as he looked at the purple bamboo around him, and gently shook his head.

Everything in the ruins seemed like a dream, yet it was also real, and my own advancement in cultivation was the best proof of that.

only……

Yu Changsheng swallowed hard, his eyes darkening as he thought of the spirit of the Immortal Sword.

"Alright, don't be too sad, this is his choice."

"It's a black tortoise," the black tortoise said in a somber tone.

"Um."

Yu Changsheng gently shook his head, took out the fragment of the Immortal-Following Sword from his bosom, thought for a moment, glanced around, and said to the Purple Child Sword in his hand:

"This is your territory. Take a look and find a quiet place that suits you."

The purple child appeared from the sword, blinked its innocent eyes, met Yu Changsheng's gaze, nodded, pondered for a moment, pointed its little finger in a certain direction, and took the lead in walking forward.

"Come with me."

Yu Changsheng quickly followed. The place where the purple child was walking was the deepest part of the purple bamboo forest. As they went deeper, the purple bamboo around them became denser and taller, reaching the sky. Looking up, they could no longer see a trace of the sky.

The sense of threat posed by the surrounding purple bamboo to Yu Changsheng became increasingly apparent. Even with his current cultivation level, Yu Changsheng felt a tremor in his heart as the bamboo leaves swayed.

Fortunately, with the Purple Child leading the way, the purple bamboo automatically made way for them. Wherever the Purple Child passed, all the purple bamboo bowed slightly, as if in worship, and therefore had no ill intentions towards Yu Changsheng.

The bamboo leaves swayed gently, bathed in a soft purple light. Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng swallowed hard and looked at the purple child's back with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Not long after, only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the purple-haired child stopped first and said in a childish tone:

"It's safe and quiet here. No one will bother us except for Father."

"Father?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, and then observed his surroundings. This place was relatively open, and there were no purple bamboos covering the area. A slanting ray of sunlight shone down on it, and it was reflected by a small stream next to it, making it crystal clear.

"Yes, no other spirit beasts or anything like that have come here besides me, so don't worry."

The little purple boy nodded, patted his chest, and solemnly promised.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng smiled at the purple-haired child and patted the child's head.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

He planned to bury the fragments of the Immortal Sword here, as a kind of cenotaph for the spirit of the Immortal Sword.

"Little Purple, we have guests?"

A faint voice suddenly echoed around them. Yu Changsheng froze and turned around. Before they knew it, a tall figure had appeared behind them.

This figure, clad entirely in purple robes, exuding an air of nobility, even his hair was purple, casually draped over his shoulders. He stood tall and straight like bamboo, appearing to be middle-aged, with a serene expression, his features fair and dark, handsome and mature. He was a head taller than Yu Changsheng, his gaze fixed calmly on Yu Changsheng, only revealing a fatherly tenderness when he looked at the purple-haired child.

As this figure appeared, the swaying purple bamboo around them suddenly stopped, its leaves halting, and bowed deeply towards him. Unlike the bow to the purple child, this time the bow was even deeper, clearly showing respect.

It was as if their true king had arrived, and the purple child was more like a prince.

"S-senpai, hello! I apologize for bothering you."

Yu Changsheng froze, suppressing his shock, and bowed deeply to him.

Although this figure did not deliberately show off, the mere trace of aura it exuded was enough to make Yu Changsheng feel immense pressure. In Yu Changsheng's perception, even the Purple Mansion realm could not match this kind of pressure; only the Nascent Soul realm could match it!

The identity of the other party is obvious. The one whom the purple child calls "father" must be the true emperor of this purple bamboo forest—the Purple Bamboo King.

"dad!"

As soon as the Purple Bamboo King appeared, the still-child-like Purple Spirit Emperor, also known as the Purple Child, rushed towards him with a joyful expression and threw himself into the Purple Bamboo King's arms.

"Hey, you weren't being naughty, were you?"

King Zizhu held the little purple child, affectionately touching its nose, and nodded meaningfully to Yu Changsheng.

Meanwhile, the little purple child took the opportunity to chatter away, explaining the whole story to the Purple Bamboo King with animated gestures. Finally, he blinked his bright eyes at the Purple Bamboo King and said expectantly:

"So, Dad, could my friend leave this Uncle Sword here?"

"Since it's Ling'er's request, then of course it's possible."

The Purple Bamboo King chuckled, flicked the Purple Child's nose, turned to look at Yu Changsheng, nodded, and said calmly:

"Since Ling'er has made this request, do whatever you want. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to set foot here."

As he spoke, King Zizhu paused, his gaze filled with a hint of regret, and gently shook his head: "I just never expected that Sui Xian would end up like this. You're lucky, kid."

Yu Changsheng remained silent for a moment, then bowed to the Purple Bamboo King: "Thank you, senior."

He then dug a hole in the ground, carefully placed the fragments of the Sui Xian Sword inside, and after thinking for a moment, took out a stone tablet from his storage bag. He then carefully carved the two characters "Sui Xian" on it and inserted it into the tablet.

Only then did all of this come to an end, and Yu Changsheng felt a sense of relief.

"I'll leave you here. If there's a chance in the future, and my senior brother is still around, I'll have him come and see you."

Yu Changsheng spoke softly, his voice carried away by the wind. He then let out a long breath, turned around, and bowed to the Purple Bamboo King once more.

King Zizhu calmly watched Yu Changsheng's actions. His gaze lingered on the erected Immortal-Following Stone Tablet for a moment before he gently waved his hand. In the next instant, a purple light screen rose up, enveloping the cenotaph and forming a protective barrier.

After doing all this, the Purple Bamboo King remained calm. He glanced at the purple child in his arms, then looked at Yu Changsheng and said:

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Just a heads up, because of you, Purple Bamboo Mountain is much more lively than usual. There are quite a few people waiting for you outside, wanting to kill you and steal your treasure. And there are some who seem to have a grudge against you."

The commotion when the cave ruins were opened attracted a lot of attention, and now everyone is waiting.

Yu Changsheng paused for a moment, then said with a hint of humility, "Alright, I'll handle it. Sorry to bother you, senior."

"It's alright. Since you are Ling'er's friend and Ling'er has chosen you, I won't make things difficult for you."

Zizhu Mountain shook his head, raised an eyebrow slightly at Yu Changsheng, his eyes were meaningful, and his tone carried an indescribable meaning.

"You agree, right? Beast Tamer..."

Upon hearing the words of the Purple Bamboo King, Yu Changsheng's eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment, and he lowered his head even further, not wanting the other party to see his expression.

The Purple Child was almost tricked into signing the contract. Perhaps the Purple Child himself didn't think much of it, but as the Purple Bamboo King, with his mature mind, he could naturally perceive the clues.

Therefore, this sentence is used, especially the three words "beast tamer," which are pronounced with a particularly heavy emphasis.

Therefore, Yu Changsheng remained silent, feeling slightly uneasy. Although he felt that, judging from the current situation, the Purple Bamboo King should not be angry, he could not be sure.

After all, the little purple child called him "Dad"... His actions felt a bit like child abduction...

Time seemed to pass in an instant, yet also as if an eternity had elapsed. Just as Yu Changsheng was suffering, the Purple Bamboo King suddenly sighed softly, patted Yu Changsheng's back, and said calmly:

"Fine, since that's how it is, Xiaoling has chosen to be with you. Since you two have already made a contract, I won't say anything more. Just take good care of him."

"Xiao Ling, although he's not my biological son, I watched him grow from birth. You must treat him well. If you neglect him in the slightest..."

"The consequences are beyond your control."

The Purple Bamboo King paused, his gaze suddenly sharpening, a hint of coldness flashing as he looked at Yu Changsheng. He also subtly exerted a sense of pressure, which drifted towards him.

Yu Changsheng's body suddenly slumped, trembling slightly. He barely managed to raise his head, cupped his fists towards the Purple Bamboo King, and said, "Please rest assured, senior, the contract is complete. We are now partners who will follow each other through life and death for the rest of our lives."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Changsheng relaxed, and at the same time, the Purple Bamboo King returned to normal, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and waved his hand lightly:

"That would be for the best. Since there is a cause and effect between you, then let it be. I will not stand in your way. Protect him, that is all I ask of you."

"Alright, unless I die, I will make sure Xiaoling is not harmed."

Yu Changsheng nodded and solemnly agreed in a deep voice, but after the Purple Bamboo King nodded, he said nothing more. His body turned into a phantom and slowly dissipated, leaving only his voice echoing around him.

"Remember what you said today, and remember that if he wants to come back, come back with him..."

Yu Changsheng remained silent until the figure of the Purple Bamboo King completely disappeared. Only then did he slump to the ground, exhale deeply, and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, which was now soaked through.

"No wonder Zizhu Mountain has remained a forbidden zone for so long; was there such a place originally...?"

Yu Changsheng gave a wry smile and shook his head with lingering fear at the oppressive aura emanating from the Purple Bamboo King.

"Purple Mansion? No, the Nascent Soul stage?"

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself. He could clearly sense that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would only take a moment. Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions towards him, even knowing that he had used such a despicable means to form a contract with the Purple Spirit Emperor.

He did not blame himself for it.

"Cause and effect?"

Yu Changsheng looked up at the slightly bewildered Zi Linghuang, and finally grinned, unable to resist rubbing her little face.

"Oh well, let nature take its course. Maybe this is destiny?"

"Let's go, let's go see the scenery beyond the mountains."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, dismissed the thought in his mind, and carrying Zi Linghuang on his back, he found the right direction and flew towards the outside of Zizhu Mountain.

Behind them, bamboo leaves swayed and fell one by one onto the cenotaph of the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword...

.........

Outside Purple Bamboo Mountain, a considerable number of people had already gathered. Some were in small groups, while others were acting independently. Most were independent cultivators, keeping their distance from each other and remaining vigilant.

However, if you could look down from the highest point, you could still vaguely see that this group of people was roughly divided into two groups.

As mentioned earlier, Purple Bamboo Mountain is a forbidden area of ​​Martial Continent, located on the edge of Martial Continent, and can be considered the boundary line separating Martial Continent and Qingzhou. Among the two groups of people, one group is located to the east of Purple Bamboo Mountain, which borders Qingzhou, and most of them are also cultivators from Qingzhou.

The other group, located west of Zizhu Mountain within the territory of Wuzhou, consists of Wuzhou cultivators.

The cultivators from the two states, some strong and some weak, faced each other from afar, yet neither made any rash moves. Instead, they remained vigilant, discussing amongst themselves, all their eyes fixed on Purple Bamboo Mountain.

"This Purple Bamboo Mountain has been silent for so long, and only now has it erupted with such a surge of energy. I wonder what kind of treasure has been born..."

"As this is a restricted area, it would be too dangerous for us to venture in recklessly. We can only wait here and see if there is another opportunity."

"Yes, the first few people who entered were all Golden Core experts, some even at their peak, and they were all devoured alive by the purple bamboo in the inner circle, weren't they? It's good to be cautious."

"It's a pity... If my family hadn't been busy fighting on the front lines and couldn't get here in time, we certainly wouldn't have missed such an opportunity..."

Amidst the murmurs and whispers, no one dared to venture into the Purple Bamboo Mountain; at most, they remained on the outer perimeter.

What no one noticed was that among the group of independent cultivators, there were three people gathered together, looking down at Purple Bamboo Mountain, their brows slightly furrowed, exchanging whispers.

If Yu Changsheng were here, he would immediately recognize these three as Chen Feng, Cheng Tao, and Wu Huan, the culprits who had forced him into the forbidden zone.

"Based on the markings, Yu Changsheng should have ended up in this Purple Bamboo Mountain. This guy is quite clever; he even knows that the forbidden area is relatively safe for the time being."

"However, the fact that such a disturbance erupted in Purple Bamboo Mountain as soon as Yu Changsheng entered is a coincidence, or did he do something about it?"

Of the three, Chen Feng frowned, his eyes flashing as he analyzed the situation, a hint of unease flickering across his face.

"I don't know, but even if he was lucky enough not to die in Zizhu Mountain, he would just be a caged bird if he came out. There's no need for us to speculate."

Cheng Tao shook his head, patted his chest, and laughed.

"Moreover, Lords Wang Cheng and Tang Han have also gone into Purple Bamboo Mountain to ambush and wait. They are both at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and some have even faintly touched the Purple Mansion stage. They are much stronger than us."

"With them taking action, no matter how capable Yu Changsheng is, he will not escape death even if he doesn't die on the Purple Bamboo. Let's just wait and see."

Wu Huan thought for a moment, licked his lips, glanced down at his empty right arm, and spoke with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

That was because Yu Changsheng had recklessly unleashed a heavenly tribulation earlier, resulting in the complete loss of one of his arms. Given the destructive power of the tribulation, without special methods, he would likely never be able to regenerate his limbs in his lifetime. (End of Chapter)
