Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 396 White Bone Ridge
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The deafening tolling of bells urged people to gather toward the abyss, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
Therefore, Yu Changsheng and the others dared not delay, ignored the other sect teams, and headed towards the rainbow over the abyss.
A precipice plunges into the abyss. A rainbow spans the two banks, radiating dazzling, multicolored light, temporarily suppressing the fierce winds from below, isolating them from the outside world, preventing them from entering. The light illuminates both banks, and at their two ends, terrifying figures confront each other across the void, hovering above and radiating boundless power.
Two towering figures stood out, their radiant light piercing the sky. Their expressions were serene, yet a single glance was enough to draw attention to them. It was as if everything else in the world had lost its color, leaving only these two radiant figures.
The aura emanating from him was unlike that of a Purple Mansion cultivator; it was that of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Of these two, Yu Changsheng had met one of them once before and sensed his aura, recognizing him as Xue Xuan Zhenzun of the Xuan Yin Sect. The other was clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator from Qingzhou.
The other high-ranking members of the Three Sects and Six Schools stood one step behind Blood Profound True Venerable, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.
Yuan Menghua was naturally among them, and under her guidance, Yu Changsheng led a group of disciples to quietly stand in front of her.
Before long, all 266 people from the three sects and six factions gathered, ready for battle. Fortunately, the entire Changhong was quite spacious and did not feel crowded.
On the opposite side of Changhong, towards Qingzhou, there was also a dense, dark mass.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A fierce wind howled, stirring up sand and shattering the white clouds, scattering the sunlight in spots. Above the rainbow, the two majestic figures moved first, their voices echoing across the vast universe, spanning hundreds of miles between the two banks and resounding above the abyss.
"A major battle between two states could destroy the heavens and the earth, and would be against the harmony of the heavens. In order to avoid the suffering of all living beings and the weeping of the heavens, the two states have made an agreement to gather at Luoya and not fight. All the wins and losses will be determined by the prodigies."
"The covenant is made, heaven and earth stand; the abyss is destined for calamity. Therefore, the prodigies gather, the great formation is activated, the rainbow is severed. All prodigies, take your positions!"
Boom!
Its sound was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, exploding on both sides of the abyss, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Its meaning was clear, and it also carried an inexplicable meaning that stirred people's emotions.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, smiling broadly as he looked at the group of Wuzhou's prodigies.
This figure, clad in a white robe adorned with shimmering stars, possessed a youthful face and white hair, with white eyebrows, a ruddy complexion, and a gentle smile. He exuded an air of refined elegance, a truly otherworldly presence. With a wave of his sleeve, seven vast starlight beams illuminated the void. Brilliant starlight descended, covering all the geniuses of Wuzhou.
"With the Seven Stars as our guide and starlight as our path, may the mighty talents of Wuzhou be blessed with the power of the stars, and may they discern the direction of fortune and misfortune. May their journey be smooth and their path unobstructed."
Hao Yu's gentle voice emanated from the old man, and starlight swept through, transforming into brilliant runes that ultimately landed on all the geniuses of Wuzhou.
Yu Changsheng was slightly taken aback. He stretched out his palm and looked at the silver-white mark that resembled a star. His mind was slightly immersed in it, and his Dao heart was immediately calmed down. In addition, it seemed to have other effects.
"This is the Seven Star Elder of the Seven Star Sect. His astrological skills are unmatched in both states. With his blessing, at least we shouldn't have to worry about getting lost on this trip to the Abyss."
Li Minghan reached out to Yu Changsheng, thought for a moment, and said softly.
"Is that so?" Yu Changsheng looked thoughtfully at the star mark on his palm, shook his head, took a deep look at the Seven Star Elder's back, and asked:
"In Wuzhou, the Seven Star Elders bless us; is there no similar method in Qingzhou?"
"Maybe there is?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Li Minghan's eyes as he spoke with some uncertainty.
"They don't need it," Yuan Menghua suddenly turned her head, glanced at Li Minghan, and calmly explained to the two of them in a low voice:
"They do not need major blessings, yet they possess the blessing of the Qingzhou royal family's fortune. The more noble their status and the purer their bloodline, the higher and more terrifying the imperial fortune blessing they can obtain."
"Imperial blessing?"
Yu Changsheng's expression changed, and he looked into the distance at the other end of the singing. His gaze narrowed slightly, and under the perception of his soul, he indeed saw a faint dragon-shaped imperial aura, which transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon, baring its fangs and claws, looking ferocious, covering the area of Qingzhou, scattering boundless divine power, and shaking people's souls.
"Yes," Yuan Menghua nodded, paused, turned to look at Yu Changsheng, her expression turned serious, and said solemnly:
"So Changsheng, you must be careful. Don't just focus on the superficial cultivation level of the cultivators in Qingzhou. For this trip to the Abyss, Qingzhou has sent quite a few members of the royal family. And they naturally have royal aura in their bloodline. They will be even more adept at using royal luck."
"The Imperial Luck has infinite and wondrous uses, quite miraculous, especially that Crown Prince of Qingzhou. I suspect that if he were to go all out, with the added blessing of the Imperial Luck, his combat power might have already reached the Purple Mansion level. If we encounter him, we must be extremely cautious!"
Yuan Menghua spoke with unusual seriousness, her tone full of solemnity, and patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder.
Yu Changsheng remained silent, feeling surprised but not entirely unexpected. He met Yuan Menghua's gaze and nodded slightly.
"This disciple will be more careful. Thank you for your concern, Ancestor."
Yuan Menghua shook her head: "It's good that you all know what's going on. Once you enter the abyss, be careful in everything you do. There's no need to start a fight over everything. Like I said, your safety is more important than anything else."
"it is good."
Yu Changsheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Yuan Menghua had emphasized this matter many times.
"Um."
Yuan Menghua nodded, patted Yu Changsheng's palm with one hand, and gently traced a line on it with her index finger. Her eyes revealed concern, and a deep meaning flashed in them. She patted Yu Changsheng's back with the other hand and smiled, "Everything is fine."
Yu Changsheng was taken aback. He blinked slightly, then silently bowed his head and clasped his hands in a fist salute. He glanced at the faint starlight on his palm, which had been erased, and said nothing more.
"It seems the ancestor is very cautious, not even believing in the blessing of the Seven Star Elder... But that's fine, it saves me the trouble of removing it after I enter."
Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, letting out a soft breath.
He probably still kept Yuan Menghua's instructions in mind. Although he didn't think there was anything unusual about the Seven Star Elder's actions, it was still necessary to remain vigilant.
Just then, the Seven Star Elder surveyed the prodigies of Wuzhou, a smile always on his face, and gently said:
"With the blessing of the Seven Stars, the prodigies of Wuzhou will surely shine like stars, their might unstoppable. Prepare yourselves, activate the formation, unleash the abyss! Gentlemen, proceed!"
As soon as the Seven Star Elder finished speaking, the two enormous figures of the Nascent Soul True Venerables turned their heads and looked at each other. The next moment, they made their moves in unison and pressed down hard into the abyss.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the rainbow burst forth with dazzling light. This light did not reach the sky, but rather fell to the ground, sweeping fiercely into the abyss. In an instant, thunder roared, and the abyss was illuminated as bright as day, and the gale was also stopped.
Where the light passed, it dispersed the clouds and cleared away the darkness. The terrifying pressure that filled the abyss suddenly eased at this moment, and it also transformed into rainbow-like paths that meandered and briefly connected below.
"Swish swish!!"
One after another, figures soared into the air, stepping towards the rainbow path, their footsteps swiftly plunging into the abyss. Yu Changsheng did not hesitate either. After Yuan Menghua nodded, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, follow me."
Having said that, he took the lead and stepped onto one of the rainbows, descending down into the abyss.
The situation in Qingzhou is roughly the same, but the two sides are separated by a hundred miles, so they will not meet in the short term. However, as they descend into the abyss, they will inevitably encounter each other.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
The group of twenty-six people slowly descended along one of the rainbow paths. As they went deeper, the light dimmed, and the dazzling rainbow path slowly dissipated after going into the abyss for nearly a thousand meters, and stopped spreading.
"Such abundant spiritual energy! My senses were right..."
Yu Changsheng took a deep breath and stepped off the rainbow. The feeling of solid ground under his feet came over him. He glanced back at the group to make sure no one had fallen behind, then looked around and his eyes lit up.
A thin layer of mist floated all around. This mist was not cloud mist, but spiritual mist. Just a casual breath of it made one feel refreshed and invigorated, and one's cultivation level also subtly increased.
This discovery also gave everyone in the Myriad Manifestations Sect a jolt, their eyes gleaming with surprise and doubt.
"Such a high concentration of spiritual energy! Cultivating here will definitely be twice as effective!"
"In this environment, many rare and precious herbs must grow abundantly, which is a great opportunity for us!"
Upon realizing this, the group's emotions became slightly excited, preventing them from becoming overly tense and depressed.
"Be careful, explore this area slowly first, and then gradually go deeper."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, then walked to the front and whispered some instructions.
The abyss, though unfathomably deep, is a wide cliff stretching for hundreds of miles. It has a slope at its bottom and is not a straight drop; in many places, it extends downwards at a certain angle.
Walking on the ground, there is almost no sense of tilting, but the altitude is definitely downward.
"Waaaaah..."
A gentle breeze stirred the mist, creating a mournful sound that carried a strange charm, like a lament, as if an old man, weathered by time, was leaning forward to tell a story.
The abyss was not quiet; it was shrouded in mist, and besides the occasional sound of wind, there were also intermittent roars of beasts echoing through the air. Although light could no longer penetrate, the surrounding rock walls emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the area. Thus, although it was dim and yellowish, it was not dark.
As Yu Changsheng and his group moved forward stealthily, Yu Changsheng remained vigilant at all times, constantly extending his divine sense downwards.
As for how to determine if one is descending, one can sense this from the concentration of spiritual energy around them; the deeper one goes, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy becomes.
"Over thousands of years, this abyss has undergone some unknown changes, and now, in a sense, it can be considered a secret realm. Moreover, judging from the concentration of spiritual energy, there should be spiritual veins beneath this abyss, and more than one..."
"The unique terrain of the abyss has caused the spiritual energy born from this spiritual vein to accumulate in the abyss, lingering there. It took thousands of years of accumulation to form what is estimated to be this size."
"It's conceivable that the deeper you go, the closer you get to the bottom of the abyss, the higher the spiritual energy will be..."
Yu Changsheng pondered, his nose twitching slightly as he sensed the increasingly dense spiritual energy and bloody aura around him, his brows furrowing slightly.
Under such a terrifying concentration of spiritual energy, Yu Changsheng could feel his spiritual body slowly taking effect, resonating and pulsating. Waves of indescribable comfort surged into every part of his body, to the point that Yu Changsheng couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
The Heavenly Dao Golden Core was even more active. Under the influence of the Heavenly Dao Qi, the bloodthirsty Qi spreading in the void gradually revolved around the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and its cultivation level was also enhanced, slowly improving. Although it had not yet reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, it was not far off.
This blessing was only temporary, but it did play a certain role in advancing Yu Changsheng's cultivation.
"This abyss is truly a blessed place for me!"
Yu Changsheng felt a surge of excitement. He casually glanced around, ignoring some of the low-level spirit beasts, and continued walking downwards without stopping.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding light grew dimmer, and the spiritual energy became increasingly abundant. Faintly, a sword intent was imprinted on the surrounding cliff walls, echoing in the void for a long time.
The group continued walking, but not too fast. Suddenly, Yu Changsheng's expression changed, and he gently put his foot back down.
Beneath my feet lies a stark white skeleton, eroded by the passage of time. It has long since lost all flesh and blood, leaving only bones, half of which have been worn away. Only the upper body remains intact, and the skull is also only half intact.
"Bones..."
Yu Changsheng murmured softly, his expression unchanged, and gently raised his head to look ahead.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
As a gentle breeze blew by, it lifted the black hair on Yu Changsheng's forehead and also part of the surrounding misty spiritual fog, revealing the entire landscape.
Looking ahead, amidst a hazy aura of spiritual energy, a vast expanse of ground was littered with scattered white skeletons, some deeply buried with only fragments visible, others fully exposed, but most were incomplete remains, eroded by time. Their sheer number and density suggested nearly a thousand. (End of Chapter)
