Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 44 The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm: The Battle of Raising Gu!

At the main peak of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, more than three thousand miscellaneous disciples gathered in the plaza, with dozens of blue-robed stewards maintaining order as they awaited the start of the selection process.

Suddenly, a flying sword came hurtling from afar, with a Foundation Establishment elder standing on it.

Following behind were the elders of Ba Dao Peak, carrying large swords and stepping through the air.

Elder Yu Dingfeng, sitting atop the square tripod.

Elder of the Magic Peak, whose every step brings forth lotus blossoms.

Elder of Beast Taming Peak arrived riding a Wind-Wild Bird.

Five figures arrived one after another and landed on the high platform. They looked at the three thousand servants in front of them. Among them, the elder of Yujian Peak spoke up: "The selection of servants this year is about to begin, but the rules are different from those of previous years."

"This selection will no longer be a ring battle, but will be conducted in a sect's secret realm. I will now announce the rules."

"The Myriad Beasts Secret Realm is a first-tier secret realm under the Beast Taming Peak. There are nearly 10,000 first-tier demonic beasts scattered in various corners of the secret realm. They will constantly provoke you to fight and unleash your potential. Defeating a first-tier demonic beast will earn you 10 sect contribution points."

"In addition, each of you menial disciples will wear the talisman jade in my hand, which can detect your life aura, locate you, and allow you to see the map of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm by projecting your divine sense into it."

"The talismans attract each other. Within a ten-kilometer radius, you can sense other menial disciples who possess talismans. Your mission is to defeat or kill them and seize their talismans!"

"Each talisman jade grants 10 sect contribution points. After entering the secret realm, you will have three days to fight each other. Killing your opponent will grant you all of their contribution points. After three days, the top 100 disciples in sect contribution ranking will pass this selection, while the rest will be eliminated."

"Therefore, you must not only learn to fight and kill, but also learn to survive and struggle in the secret realm!"

After speaking, the elder from Yujian Peak swept his sharp gaze across them.

The disciples who were doing odd jobs were all pale-faced, and some of them felt their legs go weak after hearing about the cruel rules.

Why would a sect suddenly change its rules?

"If this were a fighting arena, I might admit defeat, but in this secret realm, who cares about you? They'll just go for the kill on sight!"

"It's over! I've only just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, how could I possibly be a match for those old handymen!"

"I want to withdraw! I want to withdraw from this selection!"

"I...I want to quit too!"

In an instant, more than a dozen weak and unskilled disciples shouted that they were quitting.

However, the elder of Yujian Peak snorted coldly, and a sharp sword aura suddenly rose from his body and swept over them.

"Withdraw? Do you think the sect selection is a game, where you can just withdraw whenever you want!"

"In the struggle for the Great Way, those who retreat will only face death."

"puff!"

The dozen or so servant disciples were all cut in half at the waist, their wide-eyed expressions suggesting they couldn't comprehend what had happened.

They were also disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, yet they were killed with a single sword strike just because they wanted to quit?

Why? Why is this happening?!

They never understood until their deaths that the so-called menial disciples were merely expendable objects in the eyes of the higher-ups of the five inheritance peaks, nothing more than ants with trashy talents, not worth mourning for.

Throughout history, how many people have been able to rise from menial disciples to become Foundation Establishment experts or even Golden Core cultivators?

Therefore, they are not worried at all about missing out on so-called geniuses and prodigies.

The elder of Yujian Peak's actions startled many of the handyman disciples, silencing them immediately, and also made the Foundation Establishment elder of Yushou Peak frown.

"Senior Wan, isn't this action a bit inappropriate at the moment of the selection process?"

"Hmph, since Yun Nuwa's sect demands change, then killing a few disobedient menial disciples is just the right thing to do. It will make them understand that they can't climb the ranks without fighting!"

Elder Wan was completely unafraid of the other party and spoke in a cold tone.

Yun Hejing's face was grim.

As a newly promoted elder in charge of transmitting skills, she wanted to refute, but she lacked the confidence to do so. In the end, she could only sigh and look at the servant disciples with pity.

I wonder how many will survive this selection.

Yu Changsheng, who was among the group of menial disciples, heard about the new rules and clenched his fists, but unlike the other menial disciples, he was not afraid or apprehensive.

Because he had long since given up hope for this cruel world.

"Raising Gu poison, under these rules, even if I wanted to hide my talents, I couldn't."

"Fine, then I'll show you what a beast tamer really is!"

A fighting spirit burned in Yu Changsheng's eyes.

From the day they choose to embark on the path of cultivation, cultivators have no way back. Want to live forever? Want to become an immortal? Then you have to fight your way out from among the masses.

Zhuang Yan, standing to the side, was not as composed as him; his lips were dry, and he was extremely nervous.

"What should we do? Should we find a place to hide after we go inside?"

"Should we strike first?"

This choice was difficult for Zhuang Yan, who was always a nice guy.

At this moment, Elder Wan from Yujian Peak spoke up: "Alright, is there anyone else who wants to withdraw? I can send you on your way ahead of time."

"If there aren't any left, then let's begin the selection process!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for your trouble."

Beside him, Elder Chen of the Magic Peak nodded, made a hand seal, and cast a series of incantations around the square, which then merged together.

"Teleport!"

At his shout, the expressions of the three thousand servant disciples in the square changed, and they all turned into beams of light and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm on Beast Taming Peak.

A spinning blue vortex came into view.

"This is the entrance to the secret realm. Once you enter, you will be teleported to a random location. If you are unlucky, you will be attacked by monsters before you even realize it. Hehehe, so you must be extremely careful inside."

Elder Wan stared at them, a cold smile on his face, and said, "One hundred people per team, begin going in one by one, starting with you!"

The handyman disciple who was called out was a little scared, but when he thought of the disciples who had been cut in half at the waist, he gritted his teeth and walked forward.

The next moment, his figure flew into the vortex, clearly having entered the secret realm.

Seeing this, the other servants followed suit and went in.

When it was Yu Changsheng's turn, he sent a telepathic message to Zhuang Yan, then secretly began to perform the Beast Taming Technique and stepped into the secret realm.

Zhuang Yan paused for a moment, then nodded firmly and followed him inside.

Unbeknownst to them, Wu Shang and his group were also behind them. Upon seeing them enter, they pulled on the servants in front and forced their way through.

The elders seemed oblivious to this.

As a result, more and more of the handyman disciples became bolder and took the lead in grabbing a spot to enter.

The earlier you go in, the greater your advantage. If you go in late, you may not only be attacked by monsters when you come out, but also by other servant disciples.

Struggle, this too is a kind of struggle.

If you don't compete, you'll fall behind step by step!

"Oh? One of the servants is already dead. This good-for-nothing, hehehe." Elder Wan laughed disdainfully.

After all the miscellaneous disciples entered the secret realm, a light screen appeared, allowing them to see not only the rankings but also the movements of some of the disciples inside.

One of the menial disciples was stabbed to death with a single sword strike as soon as he came out.

The murderer was Wu Shang.
