Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Meeting an old friend is always both unexpected and expected.

Upon encountering Meng Wu'an again, Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, met the other's gaze, and gave him a hug, saying, "It's been a long time. It's fate that we meet here again."

"Haha." Meng Wu'an chuckled. After the two hugged, looking at the others, Meng Wu'an hesitated for a moment, then smiled and took the initiative to introduce them:

"Meng Wu'an, a disciple of the Purple Bamboo Sect. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me."

"Myriad Manifestations Sect, Shen Xingchen." Shen Xingchen nodded and responded with a smile.

"Xuan Yin Sect, Qiu Xing."

"Xuanyin Sect, Yama."

"Why bother with the Xuan Yin Sect?"

Qiu Xing and the other two glanced at Yu Changsheng, then looked at Meng Wu'an, responding with a smile.

After a brief introduction, the rest of the Myriad Manifestations Sect disciples soon arrived at Black Rock Island, and the group headed towards the entrance of the Enlightenment Tower.

Without the obstruction of the formation, the Enlightenment Tower was fully exposed to everyone, and as they walked closer, they could feel its grandeur and sacredness even more.

"Theoretically, the Enlightenment Tower shouldn't have appeared so early. It seems that it was indeed sacrificed to provide enough energy to summon it ahead of schedule."

Qiu Xing took a deep breath, looked at the Enlightenment Tower, swallowed, and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Meng Wu'an's eyes. He had already learned quite a bit about the Enlightenment Tower from Li Minghan's explanation earlier.

Now, looking at the towering Enlightenment Tower, radiating spiritual light, a look of anticipation and longing quietly appeared on his face.

"It seems that the princes of Qingzhou have already entered the Enlightenment Tower. However, to enter the Enlightenment Tower, one needs the Clifffall Token as a key; without the token, one cannot enter."

Yama murmured, speaking softly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

None of the three of them possessed the Falling Cliff Token, so they turned their attention to Yu Changsheng, their expressions shifting slightly.

Yu Changsheng possessed two Falling Cliff Tokens, but none of the three spoke up to him about them, since these Falling Cliff Tokens had nothing to do with them.

"A cliff-fall order?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Wu'an was slightly taken aback. He scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and then took out a token from his storage bag, saying, "I do have a Falling Cliff Token here. I obtained it by killing a prince from Qingzhou along the way."

"Um?"

Qiu Xing and the other two were stunned. Their eyes widened as they looked at the token in Meng Wu'an's hand.

"This token looks so familiar."

He Bicheng murmured softly. Qiu Xing's lips twitched slightly, and he had a guess in his mind. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, how did you get this Clifffall Token?"

"He killed a prince from Qingzhou, Huangpu Chengren, I think that's his name."

"What happened to getting it from him?"

Meng Wu'an thought for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively and said calmly.

"Huangfu Chengren... was killed by you..."

Upon hearing this, Enma glanced at Meng Wu'an with a complicated expression and gave a bitter smile.

"Fate plays tricks on us, but it's alright. Getting the Falling Cliff Token from him is quite an achievement, Brother Meng. It seems that the opportunity in the Enlightenment Tower is destined to be out of our reach."

The Falling Cliff Token in Huangpu Chengren's hands was snatched from them, but unexpectedly, it ended up in Meng Wu'an's hands after all the twists and turns.

Besides this, what surprised them was Meng Wu'an's strength. They knew perfectly well how strong Huangpu Chengren was, and regardless of the specifics, the final result of killing Huangpu Chengren and obtaining the Luoya Token spoke volumes.

They certainly wouldn't have the audacity to ask Meng Wu'an for the Clifffall Token; they were already in front of the Enlightenment Tower, and there was no way he would give it to them.

"It was a case of good luck turning into bad luck. That guy, as a prince of Qingzhou, did have some strength. It took a lot of effort to take him down; it was quite a bumpy road."

Meng Wu'an smiled slightly, reflecting on his feelings, and gripped the Falling Cliff Token in his hand. In a pleasant mood, he looked at Yu Changsheng, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said:

"With your strength, Brother Yu, you should also possess the Clifffall Token, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng nodded in response to the other person's gaze, smiled slightly, and with a thought, took out two Falling Cliff Tokens from his storage bag, playing with them in his hands for a while.

"Two cliff-falling tokens?"

Meng Wu'an was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. His gaze towards Yu Changsheng was filled with even greater astonishment.

The two cliff-falling tokens emitted soft, ethereal light, gently rippled, and echoed the Enlightenment Tower, faintly connected by a guiding force.

"I obtained it by chance," Yu Changsheng explained succinctly. Looking at the three people, Qiu Xing and the others, who were filled with longing, his expression remained unchanged. He ignored the desire and hope on their faces, waved his hand, and one of the Falling Cliff Tokens was handed over to Li Minghan.

"This cliff-fall token is for you."

"ah??"

Li Minghan froze, his expression turning serious. He blankly accepted the Falling Cliff Token, and after a moment of bewilderment, he swallowed hard, his face a mixture of excitement and disbelief. Pointing at himself, he said incredulously:

"For me?"

"Who else but you?" Yu Changsheng glanced at Li Minghan and said with amusement.

"Oh, oh, oh." Li Minghan seemed to wake from a dream, and nodded immediately. He could no longer suppress the excitement on his face. He rubbed the Falling Cliff Token with his palm, and his heart was filled with excitement. He looked at Yu Changsheng with gratitude in his eyes.

The Clifffall Token is the key to entering the Enlightenment Tower, and can be said to be the greatest opportunity of this trip. And so, Yu Changsheng casually gave this opportunity to himself.

This surprised Li Minghan, and he felt grateful and excited.

"..."

The three of them remained silent, hesitant to speak, but could only manage a bitter smile and say nothing more.

"Hehe." Li Minghan chuckled, and after a long while, the smile on his face began to subside.

Meng Wu'an patted Li Minghan on the shoulder and nodded with a smile: "This is quite a coincidence. Last time in the Cloud Mist Secret Realm, it was the three of us, and this time it's the same. It seems to be destiny."

Fate. It's truly wondrous.

"Hahaha." Li Minghan laughed, neither confirming nor denying it.

Yu Changsheng smiled and shook his head. Looking at the remaining people, he hesitated for a moment before turning to Shen Xingchen and Zhang Tianwen: "So, now the only ones who have the Fallen Cliff Token are me, Li Minghan, and Meng Wu'an."

Do you have any other plans?

Without the Falling Cliff Token, one cannot enter the Enlightenment Tower.

Giving the Falling Cliff Token to Li Minghan was naturally Yu Changsheng's deliberate arrangement. He had two Falling Cliff Tokens on him; he used one for himself, and naturally, he wouldn't give the extra one to Qiu Xing and the other two.

So, the choice is between Zhang Tianwen, Li Minghan, and Shen Xingchen. Shen Xingchen's strength is undeniable, making him the most suitable candidate. Zhang Tianwen is relatively weaker; he seems to be too focused on achieving the ultimate ninth-level spiritual platform, which is why he hasn't even formed his core yet.

After careful consideration, Yu Changsheng ultimately gave the Clifffall Token to Li Minghan.

Compared to Li Minghan, both Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen have their own paths to follow, but Li Minghan seems to need this opportunity more, and their relationship is also better.

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

Yu Changsheng ultimately had his own selfish motives.

As for Yu Changsheng's choice, it was meaningless for either Shen Xingchen or Zhang Tianwen. Although both of them had a strong desire and obsession for the Falling Cliff Token, it ultimately belonged to Yu Changsheng, and neither of them would be so tactless as to ask for it.

So, Shen Xingchen stood up, smiled, and said, "Then it's decided that the three of you will go in. Be careful on your journey. Don't worry too much about the outside world. We'll take good care of these disciples. You're free to go and find your own opportunities."

Shen Xingchen patted his chest and said with a confident smile.

Zhang Tianwen chuckled and said, "Among us, you have the strongest cultivation. I'm sure you can get through any danger safely. Don't worry about us. We can protect ourselves and be independent. Just take care of yourself and don't miss any opportunities."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xing and the others remained silent for a long while before forcing a smile and saying, "In that case, the three of you can enter the Enlightenment Tower. Although you are all very strong, there are still some dangers in the Enlightenment Tower, so you need to be careful."

Qiu Xing paused, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and after thinking for a moment, continued:

"The Enlightenment Tower is not as large as it appears from the outside. It contains a universe within, and the space inside is different each time you enter. I have never been inside, so I don't know the specifics. However, as long as you act carefully, with your strength and a little attention, you should be fine."

No matter what he said, he was still inextricably linked to the Xuan Yin Sect. Yet now, even he, a disciple of the sect, was not allowed to enter. This made Qiu Xing feel bitter and helpless, so he could only sigh inwardly.

Suppressing the complex thoughts in his mind, Qiu Xing spoke with a hint of solemnity, pondered for a moment, and then continued:

"I suspect that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the so-called Crown Prince of Qinzhou has also entered the Enlightenment Tower. He entered before us, and may have already figured out some of the arrangements. We must be on guard when we encounter him."

"We have never known the truth about the Crown Prince of Qingzhou. I wish you good luck."

Qiu Xing frowned and sighed softly, while Yan Mo, equally troubled, shook his head and said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll use some tricks. Although we're not convinced by you, we're both from the Five Continents camp, and we'll protect your fellow disciples. Don't worry. We still have that much credibility."

Upon hearing this, Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and looked at everyone with gentle eyes.

He still had a slight concern: after he went inside, Qiu Xing would attack his fellow disciples. This was one of the reasons why he gave the Falling Cliff Token to Li Minghan instead of the strongest, Shen Xingchen.

Yu Changsheng was still somewhat wary of the three of them, but it was just a thought. He believed that these three were not such fools. If they really attacked his fellow disciples, it would not be of any obvious benefit to them. On the contrary, it would only increase his malice towards them, especially at this critical juncture.

Seemingly relieved of her worries, Yu Changsheng let out a soft breath and looked at Li Minghan. Li Minghan scratched his head, chuckled, and looked at Meng Wu'an without saying a word.

Meng Wu'an pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yu Changsheng, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's go in quickly."

Meng Wu'an thought for a moment, paused, and said, "Those people from Qingzhou have been inside for who knows how long. We shouldn't fall too far behind; time is precious, and we should act quickly. The sooner we get in, the more we can gain, and the more initiative we'll have."

"Yes," Yu Changsheng nodded.

Just then, Qiu Xing seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead, and frowned slightly as he said, "By the way, there's something else you need to be aware of. The mist within the tower forms its own world, containing its own universe, and the flow of time within it is different from that outside."

"I don't know the exact ratio, it varies each time, but it's much slower than outside, just so you know that."

Qiu Xing's words immediately startled Yu Changsheng and the others, and their faces involuntarily showed surprise and astonishment.

"The flow of time is not the same? And it involves the laws of time?"

Meng Wu'an clicked his tongue in amazement, his eyes lighting up with interest, somewhat incredulous.

There are many treasures in the Xuan Tian Realm, but those related to the time realm are extremely rare. Each one is a supreme treasure, far surpassing even divine weapons.

Having lived in Wuzhou for many years, he had never heard of any treasure that could involve the realm of time. Looking across the Three Sects and the Six Clans, no such treasure had ever appeared. Even in the entire Xuan Tian Realm, such a treasure was extremely rare. Every time it appeared, it would cause a bloodbath, with everyone scrambling for it.

This also demonstrates the sacred site's lofty status and profound cultural heritage.

But now, in this abyss, inside the Enlightenment Tower, they heard about the time. Everyone had different thoughts, and their eyes gleamed as they looked at the Enlightenment Tower, their anticipation growing even stronger.

"No wonder it's a treasure of a sacred place, with such miraculous effects. It's truly amazing."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, exhaled softly, calmed himself, and nodded to everyone.

"Okay, I understand."

Then Yu Changsheng took out the Clifffall Token, exchanged a glance with Li Minghan and Meng Wu'an, and the three of them walked slowly toward the gate of the Enlightenment Tower.

The next instant, the Luoyang tokens in the hands of the three suddenly emitted a soft light, enveloping their figures and blurring everyone's perception. The spatial fluctuations began to ripple, forming a guiding force.

"Buzzing..."

The Enlightenment Tower trembled slightly, and its gate suddenly opened, revealing a crack through which endless light poured out. Daoist principles spread out, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed in frantically.

"Swish swish!!"

The light faded, and the three figures vanished from their original spots. As the guiding light led them into the Enlightenment Tower, the gate slammed shut again with a loud boom. (End of Chapter)
