Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The flames blazed brightly, flickering and blurring the world in Han Chengzhu's perception. The void ceased to exist, and only this crimson flame replaced everything else.

It burned fiercely, bursting forth with astonishing heat, sweeping across the heavens and the earth. Sparks ignited the forests, swirling towards the sky and transforming it into a sea of ​​flames, raging unrestrainedly.

At the heart of the flame, an incredibly complex and profound Dao pattern faintly emanated... emitting invisible waves that shook everything around it. Everything else ceased to exist, except for this flame, which seemed eternally inextinguishable...

Lord Han's eyes were fixed on the scene, his mind completely absorbed, and he murmured a few words: "Primordial... Dao Patterns..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within Yu Changsheng's body, as some invisible elements from heaven and earth continuously poured into the fire Dao pattern in his dantian, the fire Dao pattern immediately began to tremble, gradually becoming blurred. Its shape also changed, becoming larger, its aura more intense, and its patterns more complex...

As the Dao pattern changed, Yu Changsheng was stunned, his mind somewhat dazed. He sensed something extraordinary from the changed fire Dao pattern, as if it had been upgraded. So, he suppressed the trembling in his heart and carefully guided the fire Dao pattern closer to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

"Buzzing..."

The Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled, but this time, it did not reject it. Instead, it gave Yu Changsheng an exciting feeling. There seemed to be a natural attraction between the two. The Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled, and the fire Dao patterns swayed. In an instant, they merged together.

Yu Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and upon seeing this, his tense mind relaxed. The next moment, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core trembled slightly, and a crimson flame suddenly erupted from it, transforming into a phantom pattern that imprinted itself on the surface of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

It is the Dao of Fire!

The golden core, originally a purplish-gold color, was now covered with a faint red glow, with fire-elemental patterns engraved on it. The two were perfectly integrated, complementing each other and making it even more extraordinary and sacred!

"It's a success!!"

Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed with joy. Just as the Dao of Fire was successfully engraved on the Golden Core, the outside world underwent a dramatic change. Simultaneously, a massive, illusory Dao of Fire appeared, hovering above Yu Changsheng's head and hanging in the sky.

Rumble!

The surrounding spiritual energy surged, and illusory flames burned fiercely. The heavens and earth resounded with booming sounds. The fire Dao pattern was huge, covering the sky and revealing an ancient aura. The minds of City Lord Han and Meng Wu'an were completely attracted to it. In their dazed state, they could only see a vast sea of ​​fire erupting in their minds.

"Waaaaah..."

This fire Dao pattern is clearly different from ordinary fire Dao patterns. It is more complex and exudes a domineering aura. In its rise and fall, it is even more supreme. In an instant, the surrounding trees bowed more, and in the True Source Forest, one spirit beast after another lowered their heads and howled in hushed tones. City Lord Han was the same. The sense of horror in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

call!

The Dao of Fire illuminated the sky for a long time before returning to Yu Changsheng's body. On the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, the Dao of Fire was lifelike, and streams of mysterious energy naturally flowed into Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness and mind.

"This is……"

Yu Changsheng focused his mind, and in the next instant, countless insights about flames naturally surfaced in his mind. His understanding of various flame-related divine abilities increased dramatically in an instant!

At this moment, his cultivation level also improved as he successfully inscribed the Dao of Fire, climbing from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm towards the late-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Before entering the Enlightenment Tower, due to the special nature of the Fallen Cliff Abyss as a battlefield, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Qi, Yu Changsheng's cultivation had reached the late Golden Core stage or even the peak.

However, this blessing is only temporary. Once Yu Changsheng leaves the Abyss of Falling Cliffs, his cultivation level will naturally recover to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Now, although his cultivation is sealed in the Enlightenment Realm and he cannot exert the corresponding Golden Core strength, his advancement in realm is not affected.

The benefits that the integration of the Fire Dao Pattern brought to Yu Changsheng were naturally not limited to these.

After a long while, when Yu Changsheng finished his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, he was met with a complex and scrutinizing gaze from City Lord Han.

"It worked?"

"Lord Han asked softly, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief."

"Hmm, it should have been successful." Yu Changsheng scratched his head and smiled slightly.

"Unexpectedly..." Lord Han's lips twitched. After thinking for a moment, he sighed softly, patted Yu Changsheng's shoulder, and smiled.

"No wonder your Dao patterns are so difficult to depict. I never imagined that the Dao patterns you condensed were primordial Dao patterns..."

"Primal Dao patterns?" Yu Changsheng was taken aback and looked at City Lord Han with a puzzled expression.

City Lord Han nodded, paused for a moment, and then spoke:

"Ordinary Dao patterns could not have caused such a commotion just now. In the Enlightenment Realm, fire Dao patterns are as common as goose feathers and are not considered rare."

"However, above the ordinary Dao patterns, there are also Primal Dao patterns. As the name suggests, Primal Dao patterns can be said to be the first Dao patterns to appear. For example, the Primal Fire Dao pattern that you just gathered is extraordinary. It can be regarded as the source of all Fire Dao patterns... Its status is revered, just like the king among the Fire Dao patterns."

"The Primal Dao Patterns can be called the Ancestor of Dao Patterns. Before you, I had almost never heard of any cultivator who could control and condense them. You have truly opened my eyes. Although I don't know how you did it, since you succeeded, the boost to your abilities is enormous."

City Lord Han recalled this information, gave Yu Changsheng a deep look, and continued:

"Being able to inscribe primordial Dao patterns on a Golden Core is, in some ways, a sign that your Golden Core is extraordinary. Ordinary Golden Cores cannot bear primordial Dao patterns."

"I don't know how many mysteries the original Dao patterns of fire are, but I estimate that you can sense them. It can be said that all your fire-related divine abilities will be greatly amplified in the future."

Furthermore, you possess a talent for the Dao of Fire that others can only dream of. You will be able to cultivate all fire-related supernatural powers and spells with twice the result with half the effort. In addition, you should have a strong control and immunity to fire.

From now on, ordinary fire will not harm you in the slightest. And within the Realm of Enlightenment, among all beings whose bodies contain fire-attribute Dao patterns, you, as the ruler, will be utterly powerless against them.

"Han City Lord said softly, suppressing his surprise, while Yu Changsheng listened quietly to Han City Lord's explanation. Suddenly realizing the truth, he felt the fire Dao patterns on the Heavenly Dao Golden Core in his body, and a sharp glint flashed deep in his eyes.

"So that's how it is... It seems that due to the system, the Fire Dao Pattern has been upgraded, elevating it to a Primal Dao Pattern..."

"The fire Dao patterns I condensed before were ultimately just ordinary. Given my status as a Heavenly Dao Golden Core cultivator, they naturally rejected them, and thus, due to their repulsion, I was unable to fuse with them for a long time..."

Yu Changsheng seemed to be deep in thought. After figuring it out, he looked at the complex expression on City Lord Han's face, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply.

"I see, thank you for informing me, Lord Han. I created this by chance and was unaware of these things..."

Yu Changsheng paused, then gave a wry smile, saying helplessly:

"However, although the original Dao patterns are profound, I can sense that it would probably require an enormous amount of Dao essence to condense them."

"There's no need to worry about the Daoist principles either. Since you have this talent, you just need to continue like this, and I'll find a way."

Without hesitation, Lord Han spoke, looking intently at Yu Changsheng.

"I'm also very curious. If, as you said before, the Golden Core is inscribed with primordial Dao patterns, then what changes will occur? Using primordial Dao patterns to pry open the Purple Mansion gate, no matter which path you decide to take in the future... you will benefit immensely. Perhaps, you can truly achieve a Dao-initiated Divine Body?"

Lord Han chuckled, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Well."

Yu Changsheng was speechless for a moment, and could only laugh awkwardly. After pondering for a while, he looked at the changing system screen, and with a slight movement of his finger, a ball of crimson flame danced and slowly burned on his fingertip.

Han Chengzhu looked at the flame on Yu Changsheng's finger, his pupils shrinking slightly. The flame seemed quite ordinary, without much fluctuation or violent energy. What surprised Han Chengzhu was not the power of the flame itself.

Instead, it was Yu Changsheng's technique in unleashing this ball of flame. She didn't sense any fluctuations of magical power on this ball of flame; it was as if it had appeared out of thin air naturally.

The meaning behind this is what surprised Lord Han.

Yu Changsheng did not use any magic power to activate this flame. He simply gathered it from the fire elements flowing in the surrounding void with a single thought and his understanding of flames.

Achieving this is not easy; it has nothing to do with cultivation level, but only with one's understanding and affinity for flames—it requires exquisite skill.

Even the former Yu Changsheng could not achieve this, but after condensing the original Dao pattern—fire, Yu Changsheng's understanding of flames has reached an unbelievable level.

Along with this, Yu Changsheng's mastery of the fire Dao technique also upgraded instantly, undergoing a qualitative change.

【Three-Fire Alchemy Technique: Reached the Pinnacle (The technique has reached its limit and cannot be improved further)】

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

Fireball Technique: Reached Perfection (The technique has reached its limit and cannot be improved further).

The improvement of these two techniques was a natural result of Yu Changsheng's understanding of fire after condensing the original fire Dao patterns; he did not spend any additional essence points.

Both Danhuo and Huoqiujue are types of flames. As Lord Han said, with the blessing of the Primal Fire Dao Pattern, Yu Changsheng is almost a born Dao Body when it comes to the Dao of Flames.

This is why the original Dao patterns could cause such a stir and even jealousy in City Lord Han.

"It's a pleasant surprise..."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face. He then glanced at the remaining essence points, feeling a pang of regret.

Upgrading a Dao pattern requires 500000 essence points, and with his remaining essence points, he only has enough to upgrade one more Dao pattern.

"Fortunately, in this Enlightenment Realm, obtaining Daoist essence increases one's essence points. However... I wonder how many spirit beasts I'll have to kill to obtain so much essence..."

Yu Changsheng's heart sank. This was also why he told City Lord Han that he needed a massive amount of Dao essence to condense the original Dao patterns.

"Congratulations on your longevity! You've inscribed the supreme Dao pattern; you've taken another step ahead of me."

While Yu Changsheng was stunned, Meng Wu'an glanced at City Lord Han, stepped forward, and laughed heartily at Yu Changsheng with sincere eyes.

Li Minghan scratched his head and chuckled, saying to Yu Changsheng, "As expected of Changsheng, I knew you wouldn't be ordinary. Your ability to condense Dao patterns is also better than ours. This is more like you."

In recent days, the two of them had already completed the infusion of Dao essence into their bodies and had successfully inscribed their first Dao pattern. Unlike Yu Changsheng, they also had outstanding comprehension, so inscribing the Dao pattern did not encounter any major setbacks.

"Alright, now that we've succeeded, let's continue. You've all condensed your first Dao rune, but you've certainly not reached your limit yet. How many Dao runes you can inscribe depends on your individual fortune."

"Let's not delay any longer. If possible, let's complete the inscription of the Dao patterns you need within the True Source Forest. If that's not enough..."

Lord Han paused for a moment, then said, "We'll figure something out then."

"Alright, thank you very much, Lord Han."

Yu Changsheng and the other two nodded, their voices filled with gratitude.

.........

Three days later, deep within the True Source Forest, a mysterious fluctuation erupted once more, sweeping across the heavens and earth and triggering extraordinary phenomena. Amidst this vastness, a phantom Dao pattern, entirely emerald green, densely outlined the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, hovering in the sky and radiating boundless divine power.

"Primitive wood grain... This thing is definitely strange!"

Han Chengzhu looked at Yu Changsheng, who was meditating and fusing with Dao patterns, with disbelief in his eyes, but this time, he was not greatly shocked.

As the Dao patterns returned to his body, a new primordial wood Dao pattern appeared on top of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, right next to the primordial fire Dao pattern, adding even more splendor to the purplish-gold Golden Core.

.........

Two weeks later, the original water-path pattern was successfully carved.

Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan also inscribed their third Dao pattern on their Golden Cores, and their cultivation levels both made breakthroughs.

Lord Han was somewhat tired, but seeing the appearance of the three, he regained his fighting spirit and continued to hunt spirit beasts to collect Dao patterns and Dao essence.

And so, another month passed…

Boom!

The heavens and earth roared, and after all the power dissipated, Yu Changsheng, who had been sitting in meditation, slowly opened his eyes, a golden light faintly flashing on his body.

"The Primal Gold Dao Pattern... has finally been successfully inscribed."

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath and smiled slightly. City Lord Han, however, exchanged a meaningful glance with a weary smile and said:

"Indeed, each Dao pattern is a primordial Dao pattern. It's no wonder we've worked so hard for so many days. The Golden Core can only bear a limited number of Dao patterns. Feel it for yourself and see if you can continue to bear Dao patterns. Your potential is not yet exhausted." (End of Chapter)
