Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The Crimson Hell Dragon roared, and as two spatial-type divine abilities were unleashed, covering the molten lava pool, the surrounding space began to ripple, and a sense of blurring replaced human perception.

"Just as I expected..."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He let out a soft breath, becoming even more certain of his guess. After pondering for a while, he waved his hand and released the Golden-Winged Roc.

"Chirp chirp chirp!!"

The golden-winged roc cried out and circled excitedly. At the command of Changsheng, it suddenly flapped its wings, stirring up a fierce wind.

Furthermore, the sounds of wind and thunder roared in, transforming into blue-gold light that covered the area on top of the Crimson Flame Sealing Sky and the Spirit Dragon Divine Realm.

"Wind and Thunder Divine Realm!"

As the domain spread, the void began to hum, and cracks spewed forth winds and thunder, causing the space to become chaotic and distorted, with the sense of blurring intensifying.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Flames, lightning, and gales appeared one by one, raging through the void and erupting wildly in all directions, causing the space to rumble and attracting everyone's attention.

"Has he... discovered something wrong?"

Qiu Xing and the other two frowned, watching Yu Changsheng's actions with puzzled expressions, but they also had some guesses.

"Is there something wrong with this space?"

Li Minghan and Shen Xingchen exchanged a glance, muttering to themselves. They naturally didn't believe that Yu Changsheng would act without reason; he must have his own reasons.

Thus, as the Crimson Dragon of Hell circled and the Golden-Winged Roc roared, with the three divine powers fully unleashed, the void began to become chaotic and distorted, as if a mirror covering the heavens and earth had been forcibly shattered by external force, revealing the scene beneath.

A small, dark rocky island suddenly appeared.

"What... what's going on?"

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned and gasped, looking at Yu Changsheng with strange eyes.

"Just as I thought, it didn't disappear, but was hidden away."

Yu Changsheng murmured, smiled softly, and slowly explained to everyone:

"The original Black Rock Island in this space was shrouded by an array, which separated it from the rest of the space and turned it into a mirror world. However, this array is so mysterious and subtle, and the technique is so skillful that only a master of arrays could create it."

"Even I, if I hadn't sensed something amiss with the flow of spiritual energy, might not have been able to detect it."

The original spatial illusion was broken, and Black Rock Island suddenly appeared in its original position, standing in the magma, allowing the magma to gather and flow slowly around it. The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged and rushed into it.

Black Rock Island is small; you can see its entirety at a glance. At its center, faintly visible, stands a pagoda that exists between reality and illusion, radiating spiritual light and frantically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Reaching the heavens and the earth, it exudes majesty.

It is the Tower of Enlightenment!

"I see!"

Qiu Xing and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Li Minghan scratched his head, but his gaze was immediately drawn to the Enlightenment Tower. He wondered:

"Those are the Enlightenment Towers? Aren't they supposed to be some time away from appearing?"

Qiu Xing and He Bicheng exchanged a glance, both stunned. They looked at the Enlightenment Tower on Black Rock Island with puzzled and slightly furrowed expressions.

"Indeed, it's not time for the Enlightenment Tower to appear yet. Each time the Enlightenment Tower appears, it's only when the spiritual energy has accumulated to a certain level that it can support its appearance. With the current spiritual energy, it shouldn't be enough to support its appearance in the world."

Yama looked puzzled, squinted at the Enlightenment Tower, and muttered an explanation in a low voice.

"It seems someone beat us to it. They even used an array to hide this place. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that group from Qingzhou."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, glanced at the center where the spiritual energy was gathering, and spoke softly.

"Has someone beaten them to it?"

Qiu Xing was taken aback.

"Let's go up and take a look, but be careful. There shouldn't be any remaining killing formations up there. You guys stay here and observe, while a few of us go up and investigate."

Yu Changsheng nodded and spoke to the group of disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect behind him. Then he stood up first and slowly flew towards Black Rock Island.

Qiu Xing, Yan Mo, and He Bicheng followed closely behind, with Shen Xingchen also appearing in a flash. Li Minghan thought for a moment, then summoned the Chishan Yalong to guard his left and right sides, also following closely behind.

As for the remaining disciples, they did not rush forward.

"A great battle must have taken place here, and the aftershocks of that battle even reached the level of the Purple Mansion..."

As soon as he stepped onto Black Rock Island, Yu Changsheng carefully sensed the remaining traces around him. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened and his heart stirred.

The surrounding land was uneven and full of pits and craters. Half of the black lava was broken, and the entire island was almost completely broken. Although it was healing itself, one could still vaguely feel the terrifying residual power of this place.

This residual power was somewhat similar to what Yu Changsheng had experienced when he fought against Hailong Zhenjun. It was not something a Golden Core cultivator could unleash, but it was considerably weaker than that of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

This instantly alerted Yu Changsheng. He slowed his pace, spread his divine sense to feel every inch of the place, stretched out his palm and rubbed the ground for a while, then frowned slightly.

"Besides, the bloodlust here is so strong... but it's also been wiped away very cleanly, as if any human-related aura has been completely swallowed up..."

"Judging from this, quite a few people must have died here recently."

Yu Changsheng frowned. The earth was black rock and lava, but he could also see some dark red patterns, which were caused by blood staining. All around, there was nothing but the traces of fighting, and the Enlightenment Tower in the center was shining brightly.

Just as Yu Changsheng was having some guesses, Qiu Xing and the others also set foot on Black Rock Island. Looking around, they were all surprised and stunned.

"It seems that someone else has indeed beaten us to it."

Qiu Xing, his face grim, gritted his teeth and said:

"Sure enough, the group from Qingzhou must have known about this place in advance. After isolating it with an array, they used a special sacrificial method to ensure that the Enlightenment Tower absorbed enough energy in advance so that it could reflect the light."

"And to meet the energy requirements of the Enlightenment Tower... it seems they've killed quite a few people. I can faintly sense the auras of my Xuan Yin Sect disciples here, as well as disciples from other sects. If I'm not mistaken, these people have all perished, turning into nutrients to nourish this Enlightenment Tower."

Qiu Xing sighed, his expression returning to calm as he spoke, except that his hands slowly clenched tighter.

"These guys are really ruthless. I was wondering why those princes from Qingzhou didn't seem to understand much after entering the abyss. Turns out they were after this thing."

Enma chuckled coldly, her gaze turning slightly chilly.

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, nodded, looked around at the land, and remained silent for a long time. His Myriad Manifestations Sect had been reporting to him ever since they entered, but they had not suffered any losses.

"Let's go take a look first."

After making a fairly accurate guess, Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, remained vigilant, and slowly walked towards the Enlightenment Tower.

The Enlightenment Tower stands at the very center of Black Rock Island, where all the surrounding spiritual energy converges frantically. Its magnificent body emits a hazy glow, its exact appearance indistinct, revealing an ancient and weathered feel, as if it has remained unchanged despite the passage of time. Only the Daoist aura pervades its entirety, giving it a majestic and sacred presence.

The Enlightenment Tower is surrounded by a faint, transparent light curtain, a formation left behind by Huangpu Wushuang.

"This is the Enlightenment Tower. Legend has it that it is one of the most precious fragments of the Dream Yao Holy Land..."

As he approached, gazing at the Enlightenment Tower, Li Minghan took a deep breath, a look of longing and fascination flashing in his eyes, and murmured something to himself.

Qiu Xing sighed, his expression complex. He then looked at the transparent light barrier surrounding the Enlightenment Tower and smiled coldly: "Using an array to isolate it, is this to prevent us from entering?"

"Rumor has it that the seventh prince of the Qingzhou royal family, Huangfu Wushuang, has an unknown cultivation level, but his array formation skills are truly unparalleled and terrifying. It seems that this was all his doing."

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

"Using a special method of formation, they sacrificed a cultivator to summon the Enlightenment Tower ahead of time, then enveloped it, transforming it into a mirror world to hide within it, almost causing us to miss it..."

"None of the princes of Qingzhou are simple."

After Qiu Xing finished speaking, his tone was somewhat low. Yan Mo remained silent, while He Bicheng remained expressionless.

Yu Changsheng nodded; this was similar to what he had expected. Looking at the light screen in front of him, he said calmly:

"Fortunately, only the Mirror Realm is quite mysterious. Once you open it, the rest are not too difficult. It is obviously impossible to stop us because of it."

After saying that, Yu Changsheng waved his hand lightly, and the Crimson Hell Dragon roared and its long tail suddenly lashed out at the array light screen.

"Click..."

The light screen trembled, and in an instant, cracks spread and it shattered, revealing a deadly intent within.

"Swish swish!!"

One after another, beams of light swords, like a rain of pear blossoms, instantly covered the surroundings, revealing astonishing sharpness and flashing with cold light, falling down like raindrops.

"A whirlwind of thunder!"

The golden-winged roc roared, its wings flapping violently, instantly twisting the void, whipping up a whirlwind accompanied by streaks of lightning, and creating a continuous booming sound as it crashed into the sky full of light swords.

"Click, click, click..."

Countless lightsabers shattered, but many more continued to pour down as if there was no end in sight, transforming into a waterfall of lightsabers that relentlessly cascaded down.

"Fierce Inferno!"

With a flick of its tail, the Crimson Hell Dragon unleashed a burst of golden-red flames from its entire body. The intense heat emanated a terrifying aura, yet also conveyed a sense of holiness. The heatwave surged towards the crucial waterfall, instantly igniting into a boundless sea of ​​fire that swept across the sky, transforming it into a purgatory-like inferno.

More lightsabers collapsed, and the formation shifted again, causing ripples in the surrounding space. Suddenly, barbed iron chains emerged from the void, resembling ferocious pythons. Crimson, they pierced through the void, breaking through wind, thunder, and flames, densely packed, and fiercely coiled and lashed out at Yu Changsheng and the others.

Yu Changsheng's gaze narrowed slightly, while Qiu Xing and the others unleashed their supernatural powers, each unleashing their own might to counter.

And so, flames surged, wind and thunder roared, blood demons appeared, sword energy was astonishing, stars twinkled, and towering waves surged...

Although the formation was amazing, it still had its limits, and the individuals involved were all geniuses among the Golden Core cultivators, possessing extraordinary combat power.

Therefore, before long, with the combined efforts of the group, a dazzling sword light pierced through the air, opening a certain node in the void…

This is the core of the entire formation.

"Click, click, click..."

The formation shattered with a crash, and all its power dissipated, completely exposing the Enlightenment Tower to everyone.

Yu Changsheng also looked in the direction from which the sword light had been emitted. This sword light was not slashed by Shen Xingchen, nor was it emitted by Qiu Xing and the others, but rather came from someone else.

"Haha, Brother Yu, it's been a long time."

Just as Yu Changsheng was about to visit, a handsome figure slowly walked in from the east, accompanied by a hearty laugh.

The figure was a young man with long, flowing hair cascading over his shoulders. He had striking features, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome face, and a gentle, smiling mouth. His long, cyan robe billowed in the wind, embroidered with lifelike, upright bamboo shoots that conveyed a sense of verdant strength and indestructibility. He moved with light steps, carrying a cyan bamboo spirit sword in his arms. The sword gleamed with a cyan light, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a clear, resonant sound, causing the sword energy to ripple.

It was none other than Meng Wu'an, the disciple of Master Qingzhu, whom we hadn't seen for a long time.

Back then, Master Mu of the Spirit Dragon Sect brought his disciples to the Myriad Elephant Sect for a friendly exchange. True Person Qingzhu also happened to be passing by with his disciple Meng Wu'an. Taking this opportunity, they entered the Cloud Mist Secret Realm together with the people from both sects.

Among them, she had a brief encounter with Yu Changsheng, and at the crucial moment of the decisive battle between Yu Changsheng and Yang Chengxu, she drew her sword and helped Yu Changsheng kill Yang Chengxu, thus resolving the crisis.

Thus, the cause and effect were established. It was unexpected that after so many years, their reunion would take place in this abyss.

Meng Wu'an chuckled, glanced at Yu Changsheng who had been stunned for a moment, waved his hand, his gaze lingered on Qiu Xing and the other two, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before finally settling on Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan, and said with a faint smile:

"Brother Yu, Brother Li, I've missed you dearly since we parted today. Have you perhaps forgotten us?"

"So it's Brother Meng." Li Minghan was taken aback, but after recognizing the person, he chuckled.

"I was wondering why this sword strike felt so familiar. No wonder."

Li Minghan laughed heartily, his expression relaxing. He still respected and was grateful to Meng Wu'an. If it hadn't been for Meng Wu'an's timely sword strike to save them back then, he and Yu Changsheng would probably have perished in that misty secret realm by now.

Although Meng Wu'an's intervention wasn't entirely due to them, but rather for his own reasons, a life-saving grace is a life-saving grace, and they couldn't forget it; both of them still remembered it deeply. (End of Chapter)
