Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

As the storm dispersed, a strange half-moon of blood swayed and flickered in the sky, revealing the figures of Huangpu Wushuang and his two companions below, as well as Gong Yuansi lying on the ground, his flesh mangled and bloody.

"This guy is really overestimating himself. Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he has some cultivation? Doesn't he even know who he's facing?"

Huangpu Dongming glanced coldly at the dying Gong Yuansi and said sarcastically.

Huangpu Wushuang smiled gently, looked at Huangpu Dongming and Huangpu Yuanji, nodded slightly, then turned to look at Gong Yuansi, whose face was ashen and lifeless, and waved gently.

"At least, this guy isn't completely useless."

Huangpu Wushuang whispered, and the slightly damaged array patterns behind him had quietly spread to Gong Yuansi's body. One of them snatched away his storage bag, while the rest crawled into his flesh.

Immediately, Gong Yuansi's expression changed slightly. His already bitter face showed pain, but he could only groan and didn't have the strength to say a word.

The array patterns were bizarre, piercing deep into flesh and blood, and reaching the soul and sea of ​​consciousness, where they began to devour everything. As a result, everything about Gong Yuansi—his vitality, cultivation, soul, and even flesh and blood—was rapidly devoured with the fluctuations of the array patterns.

An eerie red light flickered on the array patterns. With each flicker, Gong Yuansi's flesh and blood dried up a bit, his physical cultivation withered away a bit, and the intelligence in his eyes gradually lost its luster, eventually disappearing completely.

Before long, his remains were gone, everything was completely devoured, only the blood-red array patterns swayed eerily, flashing with blood light, originating from Huangpu Wushuang.

"One half-step Purple Mansion cultivator, plus several Golden Core peak cultivators, that should be enough."

After finishing all this, Huangpu Wushuang squinted his eyes, let out a burp, stretched, and felt his magical power restored to its original state after absorbing Gong Yuansi. He licked his lips and smiled slightly.

"Besides that, didn't this guy also solve my immediate problem and deliver what we needed? Apart from his own flesh and blood..."

Huangpu Wushuang chuckled, opened Gong Yuansi's storage bag, took out a Falling Cliff Token, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Although we don't know where Huangfu Chengren has gone, the key to the Enlightenment Tower, plus this piece, is just enough for the three of us."

Huangpu Wushuang toyed with the cliff token in his hands, gently stroking it with his fingers for a while. His gaze then turned to Huangpu Dongming's face, who was looking at him with a look that was both moved and yearning.

Seeing this, Huangpu Wushuang smiled, flicked his finger, and tossed the Clifffall Token to Huangpu Dongming.

"Then you can have it, Third Brother."

He and Huangpu Yuanji both had a piece of the Luoya Token, so this one should naturally be given to Huangpu Dongming.

Huangfu Dongming accepted the cliff-falling token, his eyes lighting up with joy. His voice, tinged with a seductive charm, twirled his fingers and chuckled in a high-pitched voice, "Then thank you very much, Seventh Brother."

Huangpu Yuanji remained silent, only giving Huangpu Wushuang a deep look before looking up at the Enlightenment Tower, which was already half-formed, in the void behind him, and spoke softly:

"Alright, since that's the case, let's do as you say. Now that what you were supposed to sacrifice has been sacrificed, and what you were supposed to devour has been devoured, let's hurry up and speed things up."

"it is good."

Huangpu Wushuang swallowed hard, nodded solemnly, looked at the Enlightenment Tower behind him, his lips twitched slightly, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air. The array patterns behind him, which had absorbed Gong Yuansi and recovered to their original state, suddenly shook, connecting with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and plunging into the half-condensed illusory image of the Enlightenment Tower.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The spiritual energy continued to surge, and the array patterns transmitted energy into the Enlightenment Tower wave after wave. After continuously absorbing several peak Golden Core cultivators and a half-step Purple Mansion cultivator, a portion of it transformed into Huangpu Wushuang's cultivation level, while the majority of the remainder poured into the Enlightenment Tower.

As the blood moon shone brightly, the phantom of the Enlightenment Tower became increasingly complete, gradually transforming from illusion into reality. As the blood moon atop the tower changed from a waning crescent to a full moon, moonlight shone upon the Enlightenment Tower, causing it to shimmer with brilliance and the void to tremble. The entire Enlightenment Tower finally solidified completely, emerging from nothingness and towering between heaven and earth.

Waves of invisible, mysterious fluctuations radiated outwards from the Enlightenment Tower as its core, causing the void to ripple and spiritual energy to turn into mist, adding to the sense of ethereal mystery and making the entire Enlightenment Tower even more sacred.

"Although these fragments of the Enlightenment Tower are destined not to belong to us, we cannot waste this opportunity for enlightenment..."

Huangpu Wushuang looked at the Enlightenment Tower with a fiery glint in his eyes, then looked at Huangpu Dongming and Huangpu Yuanji, who also looked at the Enlightenment Tower with similar strange expressions.

"Since that's the case, let's go in and take a look. Perhaps, the key to my Purple Mansion lies here."

Huangpu Yuanji looked at the Enlightenment Tower, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his face involuntarily revealed a trace of longing and excitement.

"The Enlightenment Tower... As a treasure of this holy land, although it is now only a fragment, its profound power is still of great use to me."

"If I can seize this opportunity to advance to the Purple Mansion realm and then offer the fragments of the Enlightenment Tower as tribute, then I will also be qualified to enter the Holy Land..."

"At that time, the sky will truly be high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea wide enough for fish to leap..."

Huangpu Yuanji murmured to himself, taking a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart. He then took out a Falling Cliff Token and slowly walked towards the gate of the Enlightenment Tower.

"Buzzing..."

The Enlightenment Tower trembled slightly, and the Falling Cliff Token trembled in sync. In the end, they seemed to reach some kind of agreement, and the token carrying Huangpu Yuanji's figure transformed into a stream of light and flew into the tower, disappearing from sight.

"Let's go in too."

Seeing this, Huangpu Dongming turned and exchanged a glance with Huangpu Wushuang, then spoke with a hint of excitement.

"Okay, let me set it up."

Huangpu Wushuang nodded, pondered for a moment, then turned and began to draw array patterns in the void. He arranged the materials in specific positions, and as spiritual energy flowed in, layers of faint white mist swirled around. The array was activated, the surrounding space blurred, and the entire island, including the Enlightenment Tower, suddenly disappeared from sight and consciousness.

"That way, it's safer. If anything unusual happens, I'll know immediately."

Huangpu Wushuang clapped his hands in satisfaction, looked at Huangpu Dongming, and smiled slightly.

Besides the concealment formation, he also set up some simple killing formations in this place, which should be enough to deal with ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, he was very confident in his skills in formations.

"You've thought of everything," Huangpu Dongming paused for a moment, glanced at Huangpu Wushuang, muttered something, then gave Huangpu Wushuang a deep look before taking out the Falling Cliff Token and entering the Enlightenment Tower.

Huangpu Wushuang smiled lightly, glanced at Huangpu Dongming's back, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes, and then entered.

.........

On the other side, Yu Changsheng and his group, led by Qiu Xing and the other two, continued their journey toward the Enlightenment Tower.

Not long after, three hours later, when the effects of the Tempering and Body-Forging Pill had fully manifested, the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect also ended their body-forging training.

Each of them gained something, their physical bodies were greatly enhanced, and they adapted to their surroundings much better. They thanked Yu Changsheng and quickened their pace.

They traversed mountains and valleys, and under Qiu Xing's guidance, they avoided many potential dangers. With Yu Changsheng's divine sense probing, any ferocious beasts that occasionally blocked their path were also killed one by one.

And so, another day passed...

"If we walk a little further, we'll reach the Black Rock Island where the Enlightenment Tower is located. According to the schedule, it should take another two days for the Enlightenment Tower to take shape, and it will fully appear in the last few days before the Abyss closes."

Qiu Xing glanced into the distance, took a deep breath, and then looked at Yu Changsheng and the others with a complicated expression. He sighed softly and said in a low voice.

"Let's go there first, wait a while, adjust our state, and wait for the Enlightenment Tower to appear."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and then said this.

After one incense stick...

"This is where we met him? Wasn't it supposed to be a small, black rocky island? Where would an island come from besides lava?"

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

Looking at the vast pool of lava in front of him, Li Minghan couldn't help but glance at Qiu Xing and complain.

"Huh? That's not right. In my memory, this should be a small island of black rocks."

Qiu Xing scratched the back of his head, looked at the lava pool in front of him, blinked, and asked in confusion.

"You must have the wrong location, right? This place is completely empty, just lava everywhere. Could this Black Rock Island be located at the bottom of this lava field?"

Li Minghan raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiu Xing and the other two with a slightly unfriendly gaze.

"How is that possible? That's strange. Logically speaking, the location of the Enlightenment Tower should not change."

Enma frowned as well, looking at the empty molten lava pool in front of him, which was radiating an astonishingly high temperature. The lava surged and churned, creating fiery red bubbles that burst out and splashed molten lava.

"Such a large Black Rock Island, could it really just vanish into thin air? Or are you playing a trick on us?"

Zhang Tianwen also looked at Qiu Xing and the other two with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, and spoke indifferently.

"That doesn't make sense." He lowered his head, staring intently at the vast pool of lava in front of him. The heat wave hit his face, making it extremely hot and affecting his mood.

"We can't have taken the wrong route, but Black Rock Island... it's definitely not here. Could it be that some accident happened and Black Rock Island really disappeared?"

Once again, he felt the emptiness before him, nothing but surging magma. Even He Bicheng wavered with uncertainty.

"Hmph. I think you're probably just deliberately stalling for time."

Li Minghan snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean? Are you doubting us?" Enma's face darkened, and her tone became somewhat impatient.

For a moment, a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the atmosphere between the two sides became slightly delicate.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the two groups of people. His vast divine sense swept over the vast lava pool in front of him again and again. Indeed, it was empty, and he could not see anything unusual even under the lava. So Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment.

"Logically speaking, now that we're here, there's no need for Qiu Xing and the others to deceive me; it's pointless..."

"Then, if they aren't lying, then something is definitely strange about this place."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, his brows furrowing even deeper. Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he narrowed his eyes, scanning the area with his divine sense once more. He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, his gaze flickering slightly.

"Something's not right. The spiritual energy there is too concentrated, and the bloodlust energy is also too strong. Normally, it shouldn't be like this... After all, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this place."

Yu Changsheng felt the Heavenly Dao Qi within his body suddenly become more active, and his nose twitched slightly. Relying on the astonishing affinity and control of spiritual energy by the Myriad Spirits Technique, Yu Changsheng was able to concentrate.

"Perhaps Black Rock hasn't disappeared, but has simply been hidden away..."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then activated the Myriad Spirits Technique, which contained a wisp of his soul, transforming it into spiritual consciousness. He carefully sensed the flow of spiritual energy around him, following its subtle patterns.

"The surrounding spiritual energy seems to be converging towards that place, and so does the bloodthirsty energy. Although the traces are very faint, it is indeed the case..."

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips, sensed it again, then exhaled deeply. After a long while, he waved his hand, looked at Qiu Xing and the other two, and the members of the Myriad Manifestations Sect on his side, and said in a deep voice with a furrowed brow:

"Alright, stop arguing. Qiu Xing and the others should have taken the right people. Black Rock Island hasn't disappeared; perhaps it's just been hidden."

Upon hearing this, both sides were stunned and looked at Yu Changsheng. Qiu Xing snorted coldly, while Li Minghan seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's been hidden?"

He Bicheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Upon hearing this, he turned back to look at the still flat and spacious lava pool. Although his expression was full of doubt, he also had some guesses.

In an instant, all eyes fell on Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng nodded, and with a thought, he casually waved his hand, and a ball of flame shot towards the center of the lava pool. Without any hindrance, it rushed into the lava below, creating many waves of lava.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled slightly, which confirmed his guess. The next moment, the Crimson Hell Dragon appeared, and a violent fluctuation, flashing red light, suddenly enveloped the entire sky above the magma pool.

"Crimson Flame Seals the Sky!"

The space rippled slightly, the sealing power erupted, and the heat wave stopped. Faintly, a vague feeling appeared in the void.

"Spirit Dragon Divine Realm!"

Waves of white light, accompanied by a powerful dragon's might, rippled outwards from the sealed space, causing a stir that swept across the entire magma pool. The void trembled slightly, showing signs of instability. (End of Chapter)
