Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The Crimson Dragon's bloodline sublimated, and it radiated with vitality. The Golden-Winged Roc and the Colorful Star Deer also reaped huge rewards. Under the massive influx of Daoist essence during these days, Yu Changsheng's spirit beasts all experienced tremendous improvements.

Putting everything else aside, the beasts they tamed all reached the peak of the third rank, and even the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword emitted a gleaming cold light.

As for Yu Changsheng himself, needless to say, after absorbing Chen Wencai's Dao patterns, his Essence Points soared and broke through the 500000 mark again. So, while the iron was hot, he began to condense the seventh Dao pattern in his Qi Sea Dantian.

"I do have some ideas about these runes, and they're related to my beast taming..."

Yu Changsheng pondered in his heart, immersing himself in the process, gathering the Daoist essence from all directions, and rapidly condensing the prototypes of Dao patterns in his dantian.

These patterns are entirely pink, emitting a faint, dreamlike pink light. They are incredibly beautiful and ethereal. If one focuses their attention on them, they will surely feel their mind stirred and become hazy within them, their spirits captivated.

"Illusory Dao Pattern! This Dao Pattern is strange and unfathomable. Although it lacks powerful offensive capabilities, it can play a crucial role in distorting the battlefield at certain times!"

"Furthermore, it also fits my beast taming requirements. Both the Xuan Turtle and the Colorful Star Deer actually contain the Dao of Illusion. This Dao pattern will greatly enhance them. It is also a very good auxiliary divine power."

The Illusionary Dao Pattern was an idea and choice that Yu Changsheng had long ago. Although the Xuan Turtle currently only displays water-based supernatural powers, Yu Changsheng knew in his heart that its essence was still proficient in the Dao of Illusion.

After all, the full name of the Xuan Turtle is Xuan Yin Illusion Turtle. As for the Colorful Star Deer, both its innate soul-type ability, Soul Stepping, and its unique environment are extremely rare. The Illusion Dao Pattern is also just right for it.

Yu Changsheng pondered in his heart, his mind connecting with heaven and earth. As he drew the Dao patterns, the pink Dao patterns transformed from blurry to solid. The hazy pink light slowly shone through Yu Changsheng's body and shone all over him.

[Consuming 500000 Essence Points, successfully sublimated the Illusionary Dao Pattern to the Primal Illusionary Dao Pattern!]

The essence points shrank in the blink of an eye, but Yu Changsheng didn't care about the heartache. The Illusionary Dao Pattern suddenly trembled, and with the mysterious integration of the power of the four directions of heaven and earth, a huge pink Dao Pattern phantom slowly emerged above Yu Changsheng's head and stood tall in the sky.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A pink light flickered, illuminating the heavens and the earth. Wherever it passed, it enveloped Meng Wu'an and the others, causing them to tremble and their vision to become somewhat blurred.

Han Mengnan turned to look at Yu Changsheng, her eyes gleaming.

The light was dazzling, dreamlike, yet impossible to guard against. The power of heaven and earth surged into Yu Changsheng's body. After the storm subsided and all the power returned to Yu Changsheng, a hazy pink Dao pattern was quietly engraved on the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, next to the Primordial Wind Dao Pattern, emitting a faint light.

"The Primal Dao Pattern of Illusion, complete!"

The Dao patterns were hazy and the Dao light was indistinct, engraved on Yu Changsheng's Heavenly Dao Golden Core, shining brightly in contrast to the other Dao patterns.

"Seven primordial Dao patterns! Yu Changsheng, you truly surprise me. And judging from your appearance, you don't seem to have reached your limit; you can still sustain them?"

Han Mengnan's eyes gleamed as she looked at Yu Changsheng, her face displaying a series of strange expressions. After exhaling a deep breath, she smiled quietly, as if with a profound meaning.

Within Yu Changsheng's body, above the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, everything was already hazy. The Five Elements Dao Patterns flowed endlessly, the Wind Dao Patterns flickered uniquely, and the Illusion Dao Patterns were strange, casting a mysterious filter over the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. The Heavenly Dao Qi residing within the Heavenly Dao Golden Core roared, moving within it like a dragon, further highlighting the noble and sacred nature of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

His cultivation, which was originally at the peak of the Golden Core stage, was pushed forward again. Moreover, due to the unique characteristics of the Illusionary Dao Pattern, the one who benefited the most was Yu Changsheng's soul.

Since the Dao Pattern of Illusion is related to illusion, it naturally involves the soul and is greatly connected to it. Moreover, Yu Changsheng's soul power has always been at the peak of its level.

Now, with the blessing of the Primal Illusionary Dao Pattern, it has reached another level. A blurry, illusory flower, gathering the power of Yu Changsheng's soul, slowly emerges on the top of his head.

This flower is strange, its entire body ethereal and emitting a faint pinkish glow. It is also in the shape of a lotus, but now it is very blurry, with only an outline.

"Divine Soul Heavenly Flower! Just one more flower is needed to condense, and then I can achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, reaching the pinnacle of essence, energy, and spirit, and then knock on the gate of the Purple Mansion!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile quietly appeared in his eyes. He could feel that he was probably carving out patterns, and the ceiling would be completely stabilized, and the current outline would be fully formed, so that the three flowers would gather at the top and the purple mansion could be completed.

"Almost there, almost there, there's still time... At most, I can only inscribe two more Dao patterns before reaching the limit of my Heavenly Dao Golden Core."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, sensing the state of his Golden Core, lost in thought.

His golden core was extraordinary; it was the highest-ranking Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and it was also protected and blessed by the Qi of the Heavenly Dao. Naturally, it was different from ordinary cultivators, and therefore its ability to bear Dao patterns far exceeded that of others.

"However, the Dao patterns I inscribe are not ordinary Dao patterns either. They are primordial Dao patterns, which are far superior to ordinary Dao patterns in terms of status. Only the Heavenly Dao Golden Core is qualified to bear them. Nine Dao patterns should be my limit, but if I cannot achieve that, there is no need for me to force myself to pursue the ultimate. Eight primordial Dao patterns can also reach the Purple Mansion, and they are far beyond the average person."

Yu Changsheng pondered in his heart, thinking to himself that the seven original Dao patterns engraved on the Heavenly Dao Golden Core made the originally crystal clear purple-gold Heavenly Dao Golden Core appear somewhat crowded.

The Five Elements Dao Patterns transformed into the power of the Five Elements to temper it. The Wind Dao Patterns guided the invisible intent to move around the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, while the Illusion Dao Patterns emitted a mesmerizing light, concealing the secrets of heaven. It could be described as colorful and dazzling, and there were also invisible pressures pressing down on the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, so much so that Yu Changsheng's mind sank slightly. A sense of pressure was transmitted from the Heavenly Dao Golden Core to Yu Changsheng's entire body.

Dao patterns are both a gift and a burden. After all, the Golden Core itself is fragile. A Golden Core of poor quality may become riddled with cracks and even collapse if a single Dao pattern is inscribed on it.

However, the Dao patterns will also continuously temper the Golden Core, making it more solid and allowing the cultivator to walk a more stable path, with each step of advancement being more grounded.

Now, inscribing seven primordial Dao patterns has already put considerable pressure on Yu Changsheng. His Golden Core is thick and substantial, and although it has not yet reached its limit, it is close.

"It is also thanks to the accumulation of my previous realms that I have now become the foundation for my advancement, which has enabled me to achieve unparalleled combat power."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, suppressing these thoughts. After a long while, his imposing aura dissipated, and Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was Han Mengnan's smiling face.

"Not bad, another breakthrough. If this continues, it seems like it's a sure thing that you'll eventually be able to inscribe nine Dao patterns."

Han Mengnan smiled, a hint of eagerness flashing in her eyes as she looked at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng nodded, met Han Mengnan's gaze, and spoke with a smile and humbly, bowing to Han Mengnan as he said, "Thanks to the strong support of the Hancheng Clan, we would not have been able to reach this point. Where should we go next?"

Lord Han shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"I'm just doing what I should do. Now that Chen Wencai has fallen and Wuxu City has been destroyed, all that's left is to continue providing you with Daoist essence so that you can reach the Golden Core limit as soon as possible."

"So, where are we headed next?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng asked curiously.

"go home."

After a long silence, Han Mengnan blinked and slowly uttered two words.

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Back to Hancheng?"

"Yes, that's right!" City Lord Han nodded, slowly exhaled, and explained, "The news of Chen Wencai's demise could not be kept secret. Although he was arrogant, he had a brother who also founded a city in this Enlightenment Realm."

"This person is named Chen Tianci, and the city he founded is called Tianci City. In terms of scale, it is not much different from Wuxu City. It is also Chen Tianci's blood sacrifice site."

"As for Chen Wencai and Chen Tianci, they are brothers with a deep bond. He certainly cannot sit idly by and watch Chen Wencai fall. Moreover, this man has long been eyeing my Hancheng. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he will definitely march into my Hancheng and launch an attack. Now, if we return to the city, we can simply stand by and watch, and quietly wait for his arrival."

Yu Changsheng's eyes dimmed, and he remained silent for a moment, surprised.

"This battle is inevitable. It's all about your stance. If you win and refine the Dao patterns of Chen Tianci City, then it should be enough for you to continue inscribing Dao patterns."

"Han City Lord said softly, and Yu Changsheng remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding to Han Mengnan.

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

"Then thank you very much, Lord Han."

"It's only right that everyone takes what they need."

Han Mengnan smiled gently, shook her head, and then led Yu Changsheng and his group towards the city gate.

Since entering the City of Chaos, not a day or night has passed. It is now the dead of night. In the sky above the Enlightenment Realm, there are also stars scattered about. Among the stars surrounding the moon, a bright moon hangs high, scattering moonlight like water onto the world.

The city of Chaos, bathed in moonlight, was silent. The ruins were broken and cracked, resembling a wasteland, and indeed they had become a wasteland. Only the figures of Yu Changsheng and his group of a few others walked slowly through these ruins, bathed in moonlight.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A gentle breeze whistled in, swirling and coiling around Yu Changsheng's fingers. Yu Changsheng looked up and saw countless stars and moonlight like water, falling on Han Mengnan. Her long black hair shimmered with a faint silver glow, and her graceful figure appeared even more hazy and mysterious under the moonlight.

Bathed in moonlight, she possessed an ethereal beauty, like a goddess of the moon.

Yu Changsheng was moved, Meng Wu'an glanced at him and looked away, while Li Minghan's eyes unconsciously held a hint of infatuation as he quietly swallowed.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Han Mengnan seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned to look at the three of them with a smile, asking curiously. Her voice, as clear and melodious as a silver bell, flowed into everyone's ears.

Her exquisite face shone brightly under the moonlight, echoing the moon in the distance. The moonlight, like water, spread across her face, making her appear even more holy. It flowed down her brows and lips, adding a touch of hazy beauty. Her slightly flushed cheeks were tinged with a silvery frost in the moonlight, making her incredibly charming. Her eyes blinked lightly, and the deep pupils reflected the shimmering moonlight. Her smile as she turned her head made her even more lively.

—Separated by a mere stream, we gaze at each other silently, unable to speak.

Even Yu Changsheng was momentarily stunned and lost in thought.

Yu Changsheng has met many people and seen many beautiful women along the way. Each of them has her own unique charm and differences, and they are all incomparably beautiful. However, Han Mengnan is the one who left the deepest impression on Yu Changsheng.

Her beauty is almost unreal, often giving people a breathtaking sense of beauty unintentionally. She has an ethereal temperament, yet she is approachable and does not give people a sense of superiority or distance. This is inherently contradictory, but it is embodied perfectly in her.

"It's unrealistically beautiful..."

Yu Changsheng murmured softly, then his expression returned to calm. He gave Han Mengnan a deep look but said nothing.

Han Mengnan smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over the ruins of the Chaotic City, then she shook her head, exhaled, and sighed softly:

"It is indeed unreal. Whether it is the City of Chaos or the Realm of Enlightenment, in the end, it is nothing more than a cycle of reversal between Dao patterns. The beings in it are both real and illusory. Only by stepping out of it can one pursue an independent self."

"So..." Han Mengnan paused, looking at Yu Changsheng with a piercing gaze.

"Therefore, I hope that at that time, Changsheng, you can do your best to help me escape from this world. No matter what the outcome, it is better than continuing to reincarnate in this world of enlightenment, living in a daze and eventually losing myself completely."

"I suppose so," Han Mengnan said, her lips slightly parted, her voice carried gently by the night breeze, her tone pleading, "I'm begging you."

At this moment, a gentle breeze is blowing, and under the moonlight, the beautiful woman's expectant request is captivating and hard to refuse.

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then nodded after a long while. He looked up at Han Mengnan, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I will definitely do my best to help."

Upon hearing this, Han Mengnan moved closer to Yu Changsheng, bringing a gentle breeze with her. Finally, she blinked and smiled softly, saying gently, "Thank you. Once this matter is settled, I will reward you handsomely."

Yu Changsheng remained silent, looking at Han Mengnan without saying anything more.

As for Li Minghan, he laughed heartily and patted his chest, guaranteeing, "Lord Han, you can rest assured. With us here, we will definitely ensure your safety and successful transcendence of the Enlightenment Realm. Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate."

Meng Wu'an nodded in agreement.

Han Mengnan looked at the two of them in surprise, then smiled gently and said, "Okay, thank you both."

After speaking, Han Mengnan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Meng Wu'an and said, "I see that among you three brothers, the other two are beast tamers, but you are the only one who is a pure sword cultivator..." (End of this chapter)
