Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The vast ancient forest is located about three thousand meters below the abyss. Although this height is not the bottom of the abyss, it is very close.

This ancient forest has existed for an unknowable time. It is said to have existed before the abyss was formed. As the abyss gradually formed, it fell to the bottom of the cliff and has grown back over countless years.

Therefore, this place is imbued with the strongest abyssal aura. At its core, sword intent resounds, and the area is vast. Countless creatures, each possessing extraordinary strength and extreme danger, swarm with countless poisonous insects, and the swamp is shrouded in mist. Towering trees, their bodies a dark bluish-green, create an oppressive and sinister atmosphere.

If you look down at the entire ancient forest from above, you can see a thin layer of gray mist that covers the whole forest. Amidst the rising gray mist, thick bloody energy surges and drifts in the void, intertwined with spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, in the ancient forest, a group of people walked cautiously, occasionally pausing, their eyes lighting up as they dug something out of the ground nearby.

"Xianxing Grass, this is a good thing. This vast ancient forest has existed for who knows how long, and it is amazing that such a rare spiritual herb can be found, and in such a large area at that."

"It seems that coming to this vast ancient forest was the right decision. The abundance of spiritual energy here is unheard of in the outside world. Even just breathing here makes me feel that my cultivation level is about to improve. This is a wonderful place."

As Li Minghan sighed and gathered the fallen star grass from the ground, he glanced ahead and saw Yu Changsheng, who had a calm expression, looking at him with a hint of curiosity.

"Having an alchemist here is truly different. And what kind of notes are these? How come you can be so accurate at a glance? Nothing good in these notes can escape your discerning eye."

Zhang Tianwen chuckled and patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder, his face full of smiles and a hint of curiosity. The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with undisguised gratitude as they looked at Yu Changsheng.

The group had been in the vast ancient forest for several days, and during this time they had reaped a great harvest. Everyone around them had made progress, and the spiritual herbs and fruits they had collected were countless.

The biggest reason for this is Yu Changsheng's guidance. This guy is like a full-time radar, able to foresee all the good things and dangers in the vicinity. This is why this group of people are still able to stay together intact.

Along the way, everyone's admiration for Changsheng had reached its peak, and their hearts were united, with few dissent.

"Well, all things in heaven and earth possess their own spirit, and through these spirits, one can naturally know everything."

Faced with the curiosity of the others, Changsheng simply smiled and answered, stroking his chin and laughing heartily.

"Tch, so mysterious and secretive." Li Minghan pursed his lips and said somewhat confusedly.

Yu Changsheng shook his head and chuckled, not bothering to explain anything. He simply focused on his cultivation level, and as the Myriad Spirits Technique circulated wildly within him, his eyes flashed slightly.

The spiritual energy in the Cangmang Ancient Forest is far more concentrated than that of the outside world, and the spirituality of the creatures there is also far more active than that of the outside world. The Myriad Spirits Technique can be used to its fullest potential here, becoming increasingly effective.

Unseen by others, wisps of energy flowed from Yu Changsheng's body, attaching themselves to all things in heaven and earth. Thus, a gentle breeze blew, grass and trees rustled, flowers and birds chirped, and water flowed in harmony, all responding to Yu Changsheng in their own unique ways, and it was from this that information was transmitted.

Within a radius of a thousand meters, every rustling sound and movement was transmitted to Yu Changsheng's mind in great detail. Even the location of treasures, dangers, spiritual herbs, and demonic beasts was sensed in Yu Changsheng's mind through all things in nature, including mountains, rivers, birds, fish, and insects.

Simply put, all things in heaven and earth became his medium and bridge, his eyes, through which he perceived the entire world.

This method is clearer, reveals the essence more clearly, and is more profound and mysterious than divine perception. When combined with divine perception, it can exert even greater functions, continuing to spread along the "spirit" of heaven and earth and seeing the origin clearly.

"To get close to all things, to communicate with all things, to observe all things..."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself. As his understanding of the Myriad Spirits Technique deepened, he realized how extraordinary this technique was, especially after it was promoted to the Saint-level technique, when some of its functions were further developed and expanded.

"Perhaps, attaching my divine consciousness to the spiritual seed of the Myriad Spirits Technique is different from mere divine consciousness; perhaps calling it 'spiritual consciousness' would be more accurate."

Yu Changsheng seemed to be deep in thought. As his spiritual sense continued to expand, every detail of the surrounding situation flooded his mind. Suddenly, Yu Changsheng's expression changed slightly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look eastward. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it forcefully into a patch of grass.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The stone pierced the air, leaving arcs and afterimages, creating ripples in the void. It cleaved through boulders in half and flew into the depths, finally accompanied by a loud boom and two screams.

"Oh dear, where did this stone come from!"

Two angry voices rang out, but Yu Changsheng remained calm. He opened his palms in the direction of the voices, unleashing a sealing force that caused the surrounding trees to collapse one by one, clearing the path and revealing the two panicked young figures hidden within.

"What are you doing, sneaking around like that?"

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, reached out and grabbed, and the two figures fell uncontrollably, struggling frantically to no avail.

"No, no, no, we were just passing by, we didn't do anything. We're all from Wuzhou, please don't take it to heart, Brother Yu Changsheng."

Seeing that they couldn't break free, the two men's expressions changed. As they got closer, they quickly clasped their hands in a trembling voice and said to Yu Changsheng.

"The people of Wuzhou? They're acting suspiciously and their intentions are unpredictable. If they don't give us an explanation, then we'll just have to leave them here."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Changsheng caused the two youths to collapse completely in front of him, ignoring the pleas in their eyes. Yu Changsheng lowered his gaze and spoke to the two of them indifferently, his tone revealing a hint of coldness.

As soon as the words fell, the two young men tensed up. After taking a deep breath, they exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't break free. With a thud, they knelt down decisively before Yu Changsheng, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and said in a bitter and anxious tone:

"We two brothers are disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect. We are just passing through and have no other intentions. These are our identity tokens. If you don't believe me, Brother Changsheng, you can take a look."

After saying that, the two respectfully handed over two tokens from their waists. Yu Changsheng remained expressionless, and after scanning them with his divine sense, he understood their identities.

These two individuals, one named Lu Hongyang and the other Shi Haobo, were indeed, as they said, inner disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect, and their cultivation levels were not low, having reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, when faced with a renowned expert like Yu Changsheng, and with the overwhelming numbers on their side, neither of them were fools. Naturally, they wouldn't think of resisting or running away. They could only obediently submit, perhaps then they would have a sliver of hope.

"Since you are a disciple of the Crimson Fire Sect, why are you so afraid of me? Within the Abyss, we are all in the same camp as the Martial Continent. Why be so sneaky? Why not come and meet me openly? What is there to hide?"

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, his gaze sharpening slightly as he stared intently at the two of them.

"This..." Lu Hongwei and Shi Haobo hesitated, each swallowing hard, their words slurred, their expressions showing a hint of hesitation. They exhaled deeply and began to speak:

"We have long admired your reputation, Brother Changsheng. We brothers are cautious by nature and rather timid, so it is normal for us to be careful. We dare not meet you rashly for fear of causing trouble. Please understand, Brother Changsheng."

As he spoke, Lu Hongwei couldn't help but smile bitterly, quickly concealing the unnaturalness deep in his eyes, and his tone was sincere as he said.

Shi Haobo nodded in agreement, indicating his approval.

"Is that so?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, then tapped his forehead with one hand, saying with a half-smile:

"I have a deep dislike for those who talk nonsense. I'll give you one more chance. Tell me honestly who you were messaging just now. If you answer truthfully, I might spare your lives."

"Otherwise, it's normal for there to be occasional casualties within this abyss, wouldn't you say?"

As he spoke, Yu Changzheng's body trembled slightly, and a powerful aura naturally emanated, gently pressing down on the two of them. At this moment, the aura of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core also reached its peak.

Within this vast ancient forest, Changsheng's cultivation level, under the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Qi, reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm or even its peak.

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

With the divine power enhanced by the Myriad Spirits Technique, the pressure that Yu Changsheng unleashed, although not reaching the Purple Mansion level, was almost indistinguishable from heavenly might for Lu Hongwei and Shi Haobo.

Rumble!

A dense pressure, like a tidal wave, erupted in the minds of the two. Belonging to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, the suppression of ordinary Golden Core cultivators reached its peak at this moment. As a result, the two under the slight pressure turned pale in an instant, their minds became dazed, and their bodies swayed as if about to collapse. Large drops of cold sweat dripped from their foreheads to the ground.

"I'm giving you one more chance to rephrase your story. Tell the truth, or you'll die."

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, his face exuding authority without anger. Though his words were soft, they struck the two men like a resounding bell, rumbling like thunder.

Lu Hongwei gritted his teeth, and Shi Haobo's face was pale. Both of them swayed as if they were about to collapse, but they remained silent, their lips pressed together. After a long while, they finally struggled to speak:

"Brother Changsheng, why do you need to overthink it? Everything we two brothers said is true. You're definitely overthinking it. We don't have any other thoughts on our minds. We don't understand what you're saying at all."

Lu Hongwei, panting heavily, suppressed the trembling in his heart and spoke haltingly, his tone and eyes revealing grief and indignation, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he spoke angrily:

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason! Brother Changsheng, if you really don't believe us, then we really have no other choice."

After saying that, she suddenly turned her head away, refusing to look at Yu Changsheng, her face full of anger and sorrow.

The sincerity of his words and the earnestness of his expression left Li Yunhan slightly dazed, except for Yu Changsheng, who remained unmoved. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Yu Changsheng, and was about to say something, but seeing Yu Changsheng's unmoved expression, he swallowed his words.

The other disciples remained silent, simply surrounding Lu Hongwei and Shi Haobo, quietly awaiting Yu Changsheng's judgment.

Seeing the situation, a look of fear flashed across Zhu Hongwei and Shi Haobo's faces. They gritted their teeth, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at Yu Changsheng with a mixture of anger and threat, shouting sharply:

"We brothers respect you as a prodigy, so we treat you with utmost respect. But Brother Changsheng, haven't you disappointed us too much? Just because you lingered a little longer, are you going to force us to stay? Isn't this too arbitrary and willful?"

Lu Hongwei shouted angrily, his tone suddenly rising, his face filled with undisguised grief and indignation. Then, with narrowed eyes and a strong sense of hostility, he launched a verbal attack.

"My Crimson Fire Sect has always been on good terms with your Myriad Manifestations Sect. Now, with a formidable enemy at hand and Qingzhou threatening us, we should unite as one to face the enemy of Qingzhou together."

"Brother Changsheng, isn't your thinking a bit too disregard for military law? Besides, we are both geniuses of the Crimson Fire Sect. If we were to perish here, not only would you feel aggrieved and guilty, but you also wouldn't be afraid of being investigated and punished by the sect, damaging the harmony between our two sects?"

Lu Hongwei spoke these words with ease and righteous indignation, which, combined with his grief and indignation, moved everyone present.

Even Yu Changsheng couldn't help but marvel, clapping his hands in praise. A playful smirk appeared on his lips as he said, "Well said, your acting is really convincing. But unfortunately, you don't seem to have understood my question."

Yu Changsheng sighed softly, gently pinching Lu Hongwei's neck with his palm, applying slight pressure.

Click, click, click...

In an instant, the sound of bones cracking rang out. Lu Hongwei's limp twisted 360 degrees at an odd angle and then turned back. His face turned ashen and pale in an instant, his blood and qi flowed backward, his breath became weak, and blood gushed from his mouth, nose and all five cavities. He collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"you……"

Lu Hongwei was terrified. He barely managed to prop himself up with one hand and looked up at Yu Changsheng. His eyes were filled with not only horror but also disbelief. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Changsheng gently tapped his forehead with his finger...

"bump!!"

The head suddenly burst open like a watermelon. Before the blood could flow out, bursts of evil fire completely engulfed it, and the blood and bones disappeared completely.

Only Shi Haobo was left standing there, slumped to the ground, his face deathly pale with terror. His body trembled as he struggled to retreat, his eyes wide open as he stared at Yu Changsheng, his lips white.

"Now, it's your turn."

Yu Changsheng snapped his fingers lightly, turned to look at Shi Haobo, and smiled gently. (End of Chapter)
