Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

In the realm of enlightenment, the essence of the Dao is omnipresent, forming an essential foundation of this world.

At this moment, when the Daoist aura within Yu Changsheng's body reached a saturation point, it gave people a feeling of harmony. This was a very mysterious and subtle change; he simply stood there, not abruptly, but naturally.

They blend naturally with their surroundings, and their every move is filled with traces of the Tao, which is the unity of man and nature.

This also means that Yu Changsheng's current stage has come to an end, and the next step is to start trying to condense Dao patterns.

Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan both cast envious glances at this, while Yu Changsheng smiled lightly, met the gaze of City Lord Han, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, City Lord Han. After these days, I have finally completed the infusion of Daoist essence into my body."

The entry of Daoist energy into the body is only the first stage. This stage is like laying the foundation before building a house. The size and strength of the foundation determine the splendor of the superstructure in the next step, so it is very important.

As for the city lord Han, she knew that Yu Changsheng's land holdings were the most extensive she knew of. Therefore, in response to Yu Changsheng's compliment, city lord Han smiled broadly, nodded, and said:

"This is just the first step. The most important thing is to condense the Dao patterns. Think carefully about your direction. As I said, Dao patterns have different attributes. You should have a good idea of ​​what kind of Dao patterns are suitable for you."

After speaking, Lord Han turned to look at Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan, who were eagerly waiting, and smiled:

"Now it's your turn. Unlike Yu Changsheng, your Daoist essence is fully saturated, so you shouldn't need such a large amount of Daoist essence. Your speed will be much faster, so there's no need to rush."

"Okay." Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan nodded, suppressing their excitement, and exhaled a deep breath.

Therefore, over the next two days, City Lord Han was busy integrating the Daoist energy of Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan into his body, while Yu Changsheng took the opportunity to exchange many ideas with City Lord Han and develop a general idea about the next stage of Daoist pattern condensation.

"Daoist rhyme is only the foundation. Only by further condensing Daoist patterns and inscribing them on the Golden Core can one truly benefit oneself, greatly shortening the time required to advance to the Purple Mansion realm and increasing the success rate."

"The saturation of Daoist essence within the body merely provides a condition for the existence of Daoist patterns within the body. You are ready to complete this stage. The next step truly depends on your own comprehension."

Lord Han gave Yu Changsheng a deep look before beginning to explain.

"Now that the three of you have reached the first stage, do you have a clear idea of ​​what to do next in terms of Dao pattern condensation? What kind of Dao patterns do you want to condense?" City Lord Han asked.

"Hmm..." Meng Wu'an pondered, glanced at Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to City Lord Han and said:

"The junior has ideas. My path is the way of the sword, and the way of the sword is inherently sharp and unparalleled, focusing on killing. Therefore, the Dao patterns that the junior wants are all offensive and killing-oriented. Dao patterns of destruction and Dao patterns of power, I think they are both quite acceptable."

Meng Wu'an was originally a sword cultivator, so it's not surprising that he had such thoughts. He mainly cultivated killing techniques and focused on breaking through all laws with a single sword strike.

Upon hearing this, Lord Han raised an eyebrow and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "Taking an unconventional approach and breaking through all laws with a single sword might not be a bad idea, and it might suit you. However, the sword path is fierce and the killing aura is too heavy. Such Dao patterns are not easy to condense. It all depends on your comprehension."

Meng Wu'an remained expressionless, merely nodding slightly: "Right and wrong, success and failure, all depend on human actions."

City Lord Han was surprised, then chuckled lightly, "Alright then."

After pausing for a moment, Lord Han continued, "If there is an opportunity, I can give you some pointers. Although I have lost most of the memories of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, I still remember some, which may be of some help to you."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Han."

Meng Wu'an was overjoyed. The Heavenly Sword Pavilion was far more powerful than his Purple Rainbow Sect; they were on completely different levels. Everyone knew Han City Lord's exact status within the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, but it certainly wasn't low. If he could receive some guidance from her, it would be a huge gain for Meng Wu'an.

"Hmm." City Lord Han nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across his beautiful face. After a moment, he turned to Li Minghan and asked, "And you, do you have any thoughts?"

Li Minghan nodded, chuckled, and said, "I'm fine with anything, as long as it's relatively balanced. I feel that any kind of Dao pattern suits me quite well."

Lord Han was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. Your aura is mottled, and you are not focused on any one path. Cultivating with fellow practitioners in Wanda is not an option for you."

Having said that, she turned her gaze to Yu Changsheng, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "My thoughts are similar to Li Minghan's. I am a beast tamer, and my general idea is to condense and inscribe as many Dao patterns as possible that match my beast taming attributes, thereby enhancing the beast taming and turning it into my own foundation."

City Lord Han frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a while, he looked up and said, "That's right, this is the only suitable option for you. However, I see you have quite a few beasts to control. In that case, the requirement for the number of Dao patterns you can condense will be quite demanding..."

"Now, do you have any ideas on which Dao patterns would be suitable to condense first?"

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, the Five Elements Dao Patterns," Yu Changsheng answered without hesitation. These were all things he had considered beforehand.

The beasts that have been tamed, whether in the future or now, will definitely not be able to escape the familiarity of the five elements. The Crimson Purgatory Dragon is inherently suitable for fire attribute Dao patterns, while the Black Tortoise is more water-oriented, and the Colorful Star Deer and Purple Spirit Emperor are more wood-oriented. The Purple Spirit Emperor is integrated with its own natal magic weapon, the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, and the gold Dao pattern can effectively enhance it.

Although the Earth Dao Pattern itself does not have a Beast Taming synergy, it is compatible with some of his own cultivation techniques, such as the Thousand Mountains Technique, which can greatly enhance his physical strength.

In this light, the Five Elements Dao Pattern is indeed very suitable for me.

These five elements Dao patterns are relatively common, and the difficulty of carving them shouldn't be too great. After careful consideration, Yu Changsheng made his choice.

After thinking for a moment, Lord Han expressed his understanding and said thoughtfully, "Alright, then I will focus on finding some Dao patterns of the Five Elements Spirit Beasts for you to comprehend. How much you can comprehend depends on yourself."

"However..." A hint of hesitation flashed across Lord Han's face. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed softly, saying with some concern, "However, judging from your current situation, even if you manage to comprehend the Dao patterns, the amount of Dao essence you need to condense them would probably be astronomical."

The amount of Dao essence required to condense Dao patterns is related to each person's level of comprehension and physical constitution. Just like the same Dao pattern, it is completely different in plants and animals, and the amount of Dao essence that is decomposed from them is also vastly different.

Yu Changsheng's foundation was already deep enough just from the stage of Dao Rhyme entering his body. However, if he wanted to fully condense the Dao Patterns, he would need Dao Rhyme. Just thinking about it gave Han Chengzhu a headache.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

City Lord Han shook his head, temporarily setting aside these thoughts. He sighed softly, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and led the three of them to continue searching for and hunting spirit beasts in the True Origin Forest.

In the past week, led by City Lord Han, the group has hunted down more than a hundred spirit beasts. Most of them were fed to Yu Changsheng. Now, this small area is eerily quiet, and it is almost impossible to find any trace of spirit beasts. Most of them have long been frightened away.

This undoubtedly increased the burden on City Lord Han. Fortunately, the True Source Forest was large enough that they could still find many spirit beasts by changing positions. However, if this continued, the efficiency would definitely decrease as time went on, which was what gave City Lord Han a headache.

Yu Changsheng, on the other hand, was lost in thought, pondering his cultivation journey, and was slightly troubled by a headache.

"Comprehending the Dao patterns... is truly not easy."

Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly. The Daoist essence entering the body didn't require much skill. He had the advantage of his cultivation technique and physique, so it was like a black hole swallowing him up. As for the rest, it didn't seem to be too difficult, so it went relatively smoothly.

However, Yu Changsheng was not confident about the next step: comprehending the Dao patterns and re-condensing and engraving the Dao essence as Dao patterns on the Golden Core. This required a high level of comprehension and affinity with the Great Dao.

The latter, Yu Changsheng, was relatively easy to deal with, as his physique gave him an advantage. However, he was truly unsure about the former.

"The supernatural abilities I've acquired along the way have all come from adding skill points; I haven't gained any insights on my own."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself. He felt somewhat helpless about this, but of course, those who could gain extraordinary abilities wouldn't seek enlightenment for themselves.

However, he wasn't too worried. These days, by constantly absorbing the Daoist essence, his soul had received an unimaginable boost, and his comprehension seemed to have improved considerably as well.

"Well, we'll see then. I wonder if the system's essence points will be able to help me gain some insights..."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then looked at the system panel that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time. In recent days, his essence points had increased quite a bit.

.........

"800000 essence points... Not bad."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly to himself, looking at the 800000 essence points without much feeling. For him now, 800000 essence points, while not something to be looked down upon, wouldn't cause him too much of a stir either.

800000 essence points may seem like a lot, but Yu Changsheng knew that it was only enough to max out a decent cultivation technique. It was far from enough to meet his needs.

On the other hand, even the worst third-tier pill can yield at least 10000 essence points when fed to a spirit beast. Yu Changsheng currently feeds his spirit beasts third-tier pills, and even those are of decent quality. Therefore, obtaining hundreds of thousands of essence points is not difficult for Yu Changsheng; it's just quite expensive.

"Fortunately, in this Enlightenment Realm, feeding Daoist essence also yields essence points, and quite a lot of them, which saves me a lot of money..."

"On the other hand, after I go back out, I should continue to improve my alchemy skills. Advancing to the fourth-level alchemist as soon as possible will be of great use to me... Otherwise, I can hardly keep up with just raising spirit beasts."

Yu Changsheng thought to himself that he currently had enough resources, thanks to the many people he had killed and treasured along the way, and the sect had been generous to him. However, once he advanced from the Golden Core stage to the Purple Mansion stage, and his spirit beast also advanced to the fourth rank...

At that time, there will be a total of five fourth-tier spirit beasts, each with its own mouth. The resources required to raise them will be a terrifying number, which the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect may not be able to support. We will have to find our own way to manage it.

Alchemy is undoubtedly one such method, after all, alchemists do make money.

After temporarily suppressing these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Yu Changsheng let out a soft breath and then thought:

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I just don't know if the essence points will help me comprehend the Dao patterns. If they can, it will be much simpler. If not, it's okay. It will just be a bit more complicated. However, it's always good to save the essence points for a rainy day..."

Time passed, and the group of four walked and stopped intermittently. After leaving this area and continuing deeper, they finally encountered many more spirit beasts...

Time passed, and three days later, somewhere in the inner circle of the True Source Forest.

"shake!!"

The intense flames flickered intermittently, and the fierce heat waves snapped all the surrounding trees, turning them into ashes. The earth was scorched, and all vegetation was wiped out, with smoke billowing everywhere.

The wind howled and the roar of the dragon echoed through the air. As the flames dispersed and the aftershocks dissipated, a large open space was revealed. Slanting sunlight shone in, and a mournful howl from a spirit beast abruptly ceased, revealing the mangled corpse of the fire lion, its life completely extinguished.

"call……"

Standing to the side, Lord Han let out a long exhale, sheathed his large leather bow, casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tossed aside his disheveled black hair. A fleeting trace of weariness appeared on his exquisite face.

"A Flame Lion with three stripes is truly rare. It took some extra effort, but thankfully we managed to take it down."

Lord Han murmured softly. (End of Chapter)
