Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The True Source Forest covers a vast area, and is teeming with spirit beasts. Although there are not many spirit beasts with multiple Dao patterns, there are plenty of spirit beasts with low Dao patterns. For the creatures in this large area, this forest is not considered to be very dangerous and is a major source of resources.

The forest is covered with lush green grass, and the tallest trees are towering and inaccessible. In some places, the trees are so dense that sunlight cannot penetrate them, and the forest remains dark and gloomy for a long time. These places are often the most dangerous and rarely visited.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng and his group of four set off towards the True Origin Forest.

"The True Origin Forest is the only large forest in this vast area, and it is also the habitat of many spirit beasts. With me leading the way, the outer area should be fine. However, we must be cautious in the inner area. The three-striped spirit beasts there are just ordinary. If you encounter them alone, there is still a certain degree of danger."

Lord Han's calm voice echoed in the ears of Yu Changsheng and the other two, offering instructions and advice. Yu Changsheng nodded, seemingly lost in thought, then suddenly bowed forward and said to Lord Han:

"I have already kept your words in mind, City Lord. However, since this realm is within the Enlightenment Tower, and the Enlightenment Tower is a treasure of the Holy Land, I would like to ask City Lord Han, how much do you know about the owner behind this Enlightenment Tower, the Mengyao Holy Land?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Han nodded slightly, lost in thought. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed softly, "I have forgotten many things because my memory is incomplete."

"However, there are no weaklings in any holy land. The exact strength of the Mengyao Holy Land is unknown, but even if the entire Wuzhou were combined, it would not pose any threat to it in the Southern Five Continents."

Yu Changsheng frowned, his eyes dimming, and asked, "I wonder, did this Mengyao Holy Land rise after the Xuan Tian War, or did it already exist before?"

City Lord Han glanced at Yu Changsheng and said indifferently, "It rose to prominence after the war. Speaking of which, the Mengyao Holy Land also gained tremendous benefits after that battle, which is why it was able to become a Holy Land in one fell swoop."

After the Xuan Tian War, some holy lands perished, while new holy lands emerged, resulting in a major reshuffling of the forces in the cultivation world. Therefore, there is no doubt that there are huge differences between the holy lands that existed before the Xuan Tian War and those that rose to prominence afterward.

The top powers in the Xuan Tian Realm today are all those that existed and have been passed down since before the Xuan Tian War. As for rising stars like the Meng Yao Holy Land, although their strength is beyond the imagination of the small fry, in terms of foundation and territory, the gap between them and the former is not small at all.

As Yu Changsheng's words caused City Lord Han to fall into thought, she couldn't help but recall a rumor. She smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Yu Changsheng, and said softly:

"The specific benefits are unclear, but before the Battle of Xuantian, the predecessor of Mengyao Holy Land was just a sect called Mengyao Sect... It could be considered the first-tier team below the Holy Land at that time. Mengyao Sect naturally participated in that battle."

"In that battle, the heavens and earth collapsed, and the Great Dao was shaken. You already know the final result. However, although the Xuan Tian Holy Son died, due to his earth-shattering strength, even in death, he could not find peace. His Dao was not completely destroyed, and his body could not be recovered. Instead, along with his fortune and cultivation, he decomposed and returned to the world, disappearing from the world forever."

"Among them, it is said that the sect leader of Mengyao Sect was fortunate enough to obtain a trace of the Xuan Tian Saint Son's last breath before his death at this time... Within it, there was a portion of the Xuan Tian Saint Son's Daoist charm and Daoist patterns, carrying a subtle amount of Xuan Tian Realm's fortune."

Later, using this aura, the Mengyao Sect Master sealed it within a tower. After a long period of refinement, it evolved into a world of its own, becoming the supreme treasure known as the Enlightenment Tower… Subsequently, the Mengyao Sect also ascended to become a holy land, high above all others.

"Lord Han said softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he spoke, as if he found it unbelievable. He then smiled, shook his head slightly, and added:"

"If this is true, then the core of the Enlightenment Tower is the last breath of the Xuan Tian Saint Son. It contains a part of the Great Dao patterns related to the Xuan Tian Saint Son, as well as subtle Xuan Tian Qi fortune. Even if it is incomplete, it is still enough to shake the heavens and the earth."

"However, even if it were true, the Enlightenment Realm we are currently in is not complete; it is merely a fragment that broke off earlier. The possibility of it containing Xuan Tian Dao patterns is extremely slim..."

So just listen and don't overthink it.

As Han Chengzhu spoke, he looked up at the sky. The sky was as usual, and her words did not elicit any further reaction.

Upon seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Lord Han's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"It seems that telling Yu Changsheng this information has been permitted, since he already knew a great deal..."

Han Chengzhu murmured to herself. When she said these words, she and Yu Changsheng communicated telepathically, so Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan did not hear her and therefore did not react.

"Mysterious Heavenly Sacred Mark..."

The words of Lord Han touched Yu Changsheng's mind, causing a stir. His pupils contracted slightly, but he simply suppressed the matter and did not think about it further.

"That's right, even if it exists, it doesn't really concern me..." Yu Changsheng muttered to himself as the group continued walking towards the True Source Forest.

Before long, when the sun was high in the sky, the group arrived at the edge of the forest. The lush trees, reflecting the sunlight, emitted a shimmering glow and cast a large shadow. The trees were tall, each over ten meters high. A gentle breeze blew, and the rustling leaves dispersed much of the heat brought by the scorching weather.

The sounds of birdsong and beast roars echoed endlessly through the dense forest. City Lord Han let out a deep breath, paused, glanced back at Yu Changsheng and the other two behind him, and said:

"Stay close to me. The cultivation of you beings from the outside world is different from our ability to directly absorb and comprehend the Dao essence that is free in the world. You need to use the Dao patterns and Dao essence that have been refined in the bodies of other beings as a guide to gradually transform them into what you need."

"Therefore, it is inevitable that we will need the Dao patterns of various beings in the Enlightenment Realm. Spirit beasts have impure intelligence, and it is impossible to negotiate with them to voluntarily offer up their Dao patterns. We can only kill them and forcibly take them. The spirit beast corpses in the City Lord's Mansion are all gone, so we have no choice but to bring you out to hunt them ourselves."

As he spoke, City Lord Han led Yu Changsheng and the other two into the depths of the dense forest. It was clear that City Lord Han was quite familiar with the outer True Source Forest, and the three of them were not moving too slowly.

Along the way, Yu Changsheng spread his divine sense and remained vigilant. Before long, the surrounding trees became denser, and the sounds of birdsong and beast roars became more pronounced.

"There are mostly one or two-level spirit beasts around here, so there's no need to worry too much. They don't pose much of a threat to us."

After speaking softly, Lord Han looked at the bushes in front of him and suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Shhh..."

The wind rustled through the grass, and a soft rustling sound rang out. The bushes in front were shaken open, revealing a figure within—a spirit beast!

"Roar! Ro ...

A violent roar suddenly rang out, transforming into sound waves that rippled towards Yu Changsheng and the other two, whipping up a gale that caused the surrounding trees to sway and leaves to fall.

Lord Han's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the spirit beast before him, a charming smile on his face.

"A two-striped saber-toothed tiger, a Dao pattern spirit beast with metal attributes, is not bad."

The spirit beast before them, though called a tiger, was as large as an ox. Its golden fur stood up like countless fine needles, and most striking of all were the two fangs protruding from its mouth, gleaming with a cold light that sent chills down one's spine and filled one with dread.

Han, the city lord, remained completely calm. With a flash of light, the large bow made of animal hide appeared in his hand. The next moment, the bow was fully drawn. Han drew the bow with his right hand and with a flick of his left, a golden arrow materialized from nothingness and was nocked on the bow.

"Whoosh!!"

The bowstring was drawn, and the arrow shot out. With a whooshing sound, the golden arrow streaked across the void like a meteor, creating a sonic boom and leaving a faint trail as it hurtled toward the saber-toothed tiger.

The saber-toothed tiger bristled and growled incessantly, while City Lord Han remained calm, slowly drawing back his bow, seemingly already knowing the outcome of the arrow. He even turned to Yu Changsheng and the others to explain:

"I added the Dao pattern of the Path of Breaking to this arrow. With the defensive power of the saber-toothed tiger, it would be impossible for it to survive this arrow."

With a resolute tone and a calm expression, the golden arrow struck the saber-toothed tiger's abdomen the instant the words left his mouth. A mournful roar erupted, and the tiger collapsed, bleeding profusely. A large hole appeared in its abdomen, and after struggling a few times, it quietly lost all life.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng swallowed hard, while City Lord Han seemed indifferent, as if it were just an ordinary matter to her. Instead, she helped Yu Changsheng step forward, and as her hand seals changed, the saber-toothed tiger's corpse began to decompose, leaving only two golden Dao patterns, floating illusoryly in the void.

The next moment, the Dao patterns collapsed, turning into a large mass of Dao essence that City Lord Han grabbed in his hand.

"You can absorb this spirit beast first. You absorb it faster, so let's take turns. Otherwise, if all three of us try to take it, they won't be able to compete with you."

Lord Han spoke succinctly, and Yu Changsheng chuckled and scratched his head, but did not refuse. Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan both expressed their agreement.

"By the way, you are a beast tamer, and your beasts can also absorb Dao essence. Although they cannot condense Dao patterns, absorbing Dao essence still brings them many benefits."

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

Lord Han thought for a moment and then gave a word of advice.

"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded. Even if City Lord Han hadn't said anything, he had already planned to do so.

With that in mind, Yu Changsheng stopped wasting time. After summoning the five spirit beasts, he began to circulate his breathing technique and, in a state of mental tranquility, began to absorb the Dao essence of the saber-toothed tiger.

As for Yu Changsheng's beast taming, it was in sync with his mind, and they found it easy to learn his breathing techniques, so they followed suit and learned them quite well.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Breathing sounds rose and fell as Yu Changsheng absorbed the Daoist energy into his body. Instantly, the feeling of his body being gradually filled returned, captivating Yu Changsheng. At the same time, the Daoist energy of the saber-toothed tiger was being rapidly depleted.

"When the Daoist essence fills my body, I will have the foundation to try to directly comprehend the Daoist patterns and condense my own Daoist patterns..."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, and with each breath, the five Daoist auras greedily absorbed the Daoist essence.

[Successfully fed a faint Daoist essence to the Crimson Hell Dragon, slightly enhancing its potential. 100 Essence Points gained...]

[Successfully fed a faint Daoist aura to the Golden-Winged Roc, the Golden-Winged Roc's potential has been slightly enhanced, gaining 100 Essence Points...]

[Successfully fed the Star Deer with a slight Daoist aura, the Star Deer's potential has been slightly enhanced, gaining 100 Essence Points...]

[Successfully fed a trace of Daoist essence to Purple Spirit Emperor, slightly enhancing Purple Spirit Emperor's potential and gaining 100 essence points...]

.........

The system notification sounded simultaneously, which did not surprise Yu Changsheng, nor did he pay much attention to it.

Yu Changsheng discovered three days ago that absorbing Daoist essence into beasts would yield essence points. Daoist essence is also a type of food that can be fed to beasts.

However, the amount of essence points obtained each time was indeed too small, so Yu Changsheng did not pay too much attention to it. Fortunately, this thing did not seem to have a limit on the number of times it could be used, and with the accumulation of small amounts, the amount of essence points obtained was still considerable.

Of course, there's a reason for this: most of the Daoist essence was absorbed by Yu Changsheng himself, with only a small portion being absorbed by the beasts...

In a short time, just three minutes, the Daoist essence emanating from the two-striped saber-toothed tiger was completely absorbed by Yu Changsheng.

Lord Han was no longer surprised by this speed.

Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, licked his lips, and looked unsatisfied, which made City Lord Han roll his eyes at him and ask indifferently:

"How much more saturation is needed for the Daoist essence within you?"

"About twenty more spirit beasts like these should be enough."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and replied that he had absorbed a lot of Dao essence in the previous three days, and was about 30 to 40 percent away from saturation.

"That is, the Daoist essence derived from forty such Daoist patterns..."

"For ordinary cultivators, this amount would be enough to burst them..."

Lord Han's lips twitched almost imperceptibly; he felt a little helpless, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded and said:

"Alright, then fill your Dao aura first. As for Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan, you'll have to wait." (End of Chapter)
