Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The air was filled with the smell of burning flesh, the earth collapsed, and the trees turned to ashes. After the residual force dissipated, Lord Han smiled slightly as he looked at the corpse of the Flame Lion on the ground.

As his fingers moved swiftly, the corpse of the flaming lion in front of him began to decompose, turning into energy that condensed into a ball, and finally, as if returning to its original state, three crimson Dao patterns emerged.

These three crimson Dao patterns floated above and below, faintly visible, crimson like fire, winding and coiling like long snakes, shimmering with a faint firelight. If one concentrated to sense them, one could feel a burning heat in one's mind, which was uncomfortable.

It is the Dao of Fire.

In the past, after the Dao patterns appeared, City Lord Han would have to take action to break them down into their most basic components, Dao rhymes, before Yu Changsheng and the others could absorb them into their bodies. However, now, this step can obviously be omitted.

Therefore, at this moment, City Lord Han merely turned his gaze to Yu Changsheng, a complex expression appearing on his face, and said:

"Give it a try and see if it works this time. If it doesn't, keep trying. Don't put pressure on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. He then exhaled a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on the breathing technique that City Lord Han had taught him again, focusing his mind entirely on the fire Dao patterns in front of him.

At the same time, the Crimson Hell Dragon was released, and City Lord Han took action, breaking down one of the three Fire Dao Patterns and supplying it to the Crimson Hell Dragon for absorption.

[Successfully consumed a small amount of Daoist essence to feed the Crimson Hell Dragon. The Crimson Hell Dragon received a slight improvement in all aspects, gaining 1000 Essence Points...]

The system's voice rang in his mind, but at this moment, Yu Changsheng was already immersed in his own world. With the deliberate rise and fall, Yu Changsheng's entire mind was focused on the Dao of Fire.

The invisible energy gradually covered the Dao patterns of fire, which trembled and swayed gently. With the ripples of invisible energy, the patterns transformed into tiny specks of light that slowly flowed into Yu Changsheng's body.

Yu Changsheng's soul remained attached to the Dao of Fire, guiding it to circulate within his body and eventually converge in his dantian. There, a purple-gold pill, immersed in the Dao of Fire, was slowly rotating, its light reflecting off the Dao of Fire...

This process was extremely mysterious; it was a process of tracing back to the origin and breaking through the bones. Every detail of the Fire Dao Pattern was clearly visible in Yu Changsheng's mind, with all its structures laid out in full view. It spread out within Yu Changsheng's body and, under the guidance of his consciousness, began to reassemble...

"fire……"

Yu Changsheng frowned and muttered unconsciously. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and soon his skin was covered with a fine layer of sweat. The intense heat emanated from his body, as if there were a furnace burning fiercely.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng's mind was focused on this sensation. As he continued to comprehend the Dao patterns of fire, the burning sensation of the flames became more pronounced, and a mysterious aura emanated from Yu Changsheng's body.

The Dao patterns of fire swayed and flowed throughout Yu Changsheng's body, constantly being refined and assimilated by him. As they were reorganized, they swirled around the Heavenly Dao Golden Core in his Qi Sea Dantian.

"boom!!"

Finally, after Yu Changsheng had fully comprehended the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Fire flickered, carrying Yu Changsheng's will, and floated shakily toward the Heavenly Dao Golden Core in the center of his dantian, as if to inscribe it...

The Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled slightly, shimmering with a purplish-gold radiance, appearing even more noble and unholy. At the center of the crystal-clear Golden Core, a dragon-shaped, blood-red Heavenly Dao aura flowed up and down, letting out a disdainful roar towards the approaching Fire Dao patterns.

"Whether it will succeed or not depends on this one chance." Yu Changsheng's heart tightened, and he dared not relax for a moment. After his brows furrowed, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and endured the burning sensation in his soul. He controlled the fire Dao patterns and moved them closer to attach to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core!

"boom!"

The flames flickered, their light obscuring the sky, stirring up trouble within Yu Changsheng's dantian. The Dao patterns of fire cautiously approached the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, eventually transforming into a beam of light that covered and engraved upon it.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled, and a wisp of fire flickered on its purple-gold surface. A faint phantom of the Dao of Fire moved nimbly upon it, exuding a profound meaning. Before Yu Changsheng could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core seemed to be shocked and enraged. With a flash of purple-gold light, the Dao of Fire that had just been inscribed on it trembled violently, then collapsed with a bang, vanishing into Dao essence and becoming impossible to condense again…

"puff……"

Yu Changsheng's face turned pale instantly. His mind was in turmoil, and his breathing became slightly disordered. He opened his eyes and revealed a bitter smile. Beneath his tightly furrowed brows was deep doubt and helplessness.

"Failed again. Why? Why is the Heavenly Dao Golden Core rejecting it? I clearly fully comprehended and reconstructed it... Is it impossible for me to succeed on my own?"

Yu Changsheng's mind sank, and he fell into deep thought, staring blankly at the remaining fire Dao pattern.

Of the three fire runes that the Flame Lion dropped, one was absorbed by the Crimson Purgatory Dragon, another failed to be absorbed and collapsed, and there is one left, which can be tried again.

However, Yu Changsheng was not in a hurry. In fact, he had tried dozens of times before, and each time it was the same. Although he had completely understood it, he always collapsed at the last moment...

This left Yu Changsheng completely baffled. Feeling helpless, he waited for a long time before a resolute glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Are you trying to force me to cheat, huh...?"

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, and seeing Yu Changsheng fail once again, City Lord Han let out a soft breath, a complex expression flashing across his face, and shook his head to comfort him, saying:

"Dao patterns are inherently difficult to depict, so failure is perfectly normal. Accumulate experience and keep trying, and you'll eventually succeed."

Yu Changsheng remained silent, offering no response to his words. Instead, he exhaled deeply, circulated his breathing technique, and after a slight adjustment, focused his mind once again on the last fire Dao pattern. Instantly, this fire Dao pattern was also drawn by Yu Changsheng, slowly merging into his dantian and beginning to reorganize. This process was effortless and smooth...

Seeing that Yu Changsheng was not discouraged, City Lord Han simply shook his head inwardly without saying anything more. With a sigh in his heart, he turned his gaze to the Crimson Dragon, which was happily absorbing the Daoist essence.

[Successfully consumed a small amount of Daoist essence to feed the Crimson Purgatory Dragon, resulting in a slight improvement in all aspects of the Crimson Purgatory Dragon, and gained 1000 essence points...]

As the essence of the Dao increases, so does the joy of the Crimson Hell Dragon. The continuous absorption of Daoist principles has made the Crimson Hell Dragon appear to have undergone many changes.

Its bloodline is purer, its aura is more authentic, and its natal flame is slowly strengthening.

"His spirit beasts are quite remarkable; he has clearly put a lot of effort into cultivating them. I can sense that this Crimson Purgatory Dragon has the true blood of the Flame Emperor Spirit Dragon fused within its body, and its bones and flesh also seem to have the true bones of a peak fifth-tier dragon spirit beast."

This was an immense stroke of luck, but because its bloodline was impure and its aura impure, it could not be fully integrated or unleashed its full power. It could only be gradually refined over time... a precious gem covered in dust.

City Lord Han's mind raced as he stared at the Crimson Hell Dragon. A strange glint flashed in his eyes as he thought, "However, with the continuous absorption of Daoist essence, this process of integration is accelerating. Some things that should have been brought into play are only now beginning to manifest."

"If this continues, who knows what will happen to Yu Changsheng, but the improvement his beast has gained will definitely be extraordinary..."

Before entering the abyss, Yu Changsheng had fused the Crimson Hell Dragon with a drop of the true blood of a fifth-tier king-level spirit beast, the Flame Emperor Spirit Dragon. Although the amount was small, it was still extremely precious. Spirit beast fusion was a transformative event, and this was combined with the true bone of the fifth-tier peak spirit beast that had been fused in earlier...

How could the enhancement gained by the Crimson Hell Dragon be as simple as it appears on the surface? Normally, the fusion of the two can push any third-tier spirit beast to the fourth tier, provided that the third-tier spirit beast can withstand it.

Although Yu Changsheng used the system to allow the Crimson Hell Dragon to fuse with these two supreme treasures, flaws were unavoidable. Most of the power of the Spirit Dragon True Bone and the Flame Emperor Spirit Dragon True Blood was sealed and dormant, and could only be slowly released and honed over time, gradually manifesting in the Crimson Hell Dragon.

Now, as the Daoist essence is continuously absorbed, this process is being accelerated, and the transformative effects of the Flame Emperor Spirit Dragon's true blood and true bones are gradually becoming apparent and being put to use.

"The Crimson Hell Dragon's cultivation has been sealed. However, if things continue as they are, and everything goes smoothly, when Fang Yu Changsheng leaves this Enlightenment Realm, his spirit beast will likely break through to the fourth rank in an instant..."

As Han Chengzhu pondered, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Yu Changsheng, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, refining the Dao patterns of fire. His expression returned to calm.

Although Yu Changsheng was aware of the changes in the Crimson Hell Dragon, he didn't pay too much attention to them. At this moment, he had entered the final stage of inscribing the Dao of Fire.

The Fire Dao Pattern was refined and reorganized once again within Yu Changsheng's body. After being imprinted with Yu Changsheng's aura, it once again swayed and moved closer to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

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

The Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled slightly, and a faint purple-gold halo spread out, as if it were repelling something.

Yu Changsheng was completely absorbed in the process, sensing everything about the Dao of Fire. He frowned slightly, feeling puzzled:

"I've checked it many times, and there are no errors in the Fire Dao Pattern."

"But why does it always collapse after only a short time when it's inscribed on the Golden Core? It shouldn't be like this. But if that's the case, the problem isn't with the Dao patterns. Why does the Heavenly Dao Golden Core reject the Dao patterns... and it even seems to dislike them?"

Yu Changsheng pondered, sensing the proud Golden Core, and did not continue to control the fire Dao patterns to continue carving them. He had a premonition that if he continued like this, the result would be the same as last time.

"Fine, I don't want to think about it anymore. Since I can't do it myself... are you forcing me to use cheat codes?"

After a long silence, Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly. Helpless, he turned to look at the essence points that had just broken through one million after feeding the beasts in the past few days. He gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"There's always a trade-off. It's just 500,000 essence points. I'd like to see how they'll fail this time, with the system's help!"

Yu Changsheng hardened his heart, suppressing the pain in his heart. The next moment, as 500,000 essence points disappeared from his system account, a crisp sound rang in his mind.

[500000 Essence Points consumed! Fire Dao Pattern successfully purified and is being inscribed for the host...]

Yes, just like improving cultivation techniques, the system can also play a role in inscribing Dao patterns. Yu Changsheng had already known this three days ago.

However, what pained Yu Changsheng was that inscribing a Dao pattern required as many as 500,000 essence points. Therefore, Yu Changsheng had been trying to save essence points by inscribing Dao patterns himself for the past three days.

One Fire Dao Pattern is worth 500000 Essence Points. If all five elements Dao Patterns are fully inscribed, it will be worth 2500000 Essence Points, which is an astronomical number that Yu Changsheng cannot afford.

Moreover, Yu Changsheng had a premonition that the Dao patterns he had inscribed were probably not just five...

Under such circumstances, Yu Changsheng did not choose to rely on the system from the beginning. However, after so many failures, Yu Changsheng no longer cared about these things.

"The fire runes depicted by the system are different from mine...?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then, an invisible and mysterious fluctuation suddenly came from all directions and surged into Yu Changsheng's body.

dong dong dong...

Yu Changsheng's body trembled immediately, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes, and the fire Dao patterns in his dantian also suddenly flickered and became blurry.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The wind began to blow at some unknown time, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth quietly gathered from all directions. The Daoist charm that had been drifting in from all directions also did so. Furthermore, mysterious and indescribable fluctuations began to swirl and surge in, centered on Yu Changsheng.

The air grew hot and dry, the spiritual energy began to swirl, the trees began to bend, and in the dense forest of true essence, the spirit beasts seemed to sense something, whimpering as they lay down and faced Yu Changsheng.

"This is.…"

City Lord Han was suddenly stunned, his pupils contracted, and he turned to look at Yu Changsheng who was meditating. A feeling of unease arose in his heart. This unease came from the depths of his soul, from the instinct of a living being, and had nothing to do with cultivation level. Even City Lord Han could not be exempt from it.

Therefore, Lord Han's eyes flickered, and he looked at Yu Changsheng with surprise and doubt. He took a slight step, and disbelief appeared on his face.

"This fluctuation... what kind of Dao patterns has Yu Changsheng condensed...?"

In her perception, Yu Changsheng had become blurry, and in front of her was a ball of flame, crimson red, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.

It started small, then quickly became violent, burning fiercely. An endless sea of ​​heat and fire engulfed everything. As the flame swayed, space began to collapse, and everything around it turned to annihilation. Only the flame continued to burn, illuminating the world, seemingly eternal. Everything else was nothing but ashes before it.

The flames twisted and blurred, and deep within the firelight, a mysterious and tangled rune flickered faintly… (End of Chapter)
