Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Everything in the world has cause and effect, and this is an eternal and unchanging law of the world. This is especially true in the cultivation world. Those who cultivate the Tao believe in cause and effect, and some even specialize in this path, spending their entire lives comprehending it.

Therefore, it is only right to accept opportunities and bear the consequences of others' actions. Thus, neither Meng Wan'an nor Chang Sheng felt there was any problem with Han Mengnan's request. They nodded, clasped their hands, and said:

"Lord Han, you are too kind. This is simply my duty. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely make a special trip for you in the future. It is no trouble at all."

The matter of inheriting the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is of paramount importance, and it is a rare opportunity for us. We are deeply grateful for Lord Han's trust in us.

"I will certainly live up to your trust and carry forward the legacy of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, living up to your expectations, Lord Han."

When Meng Wu'an spoke sincerely, his gaze towards Han Mengnan was slightly different, showing more kindness and respect.

Yu Changsheng remained silent, not saying much, but simply smiled slightly as he felt the Seed of Inheritance constantly vibrating in his mind.

Since this opportunity has been placed upon him, he has a share in it. The inheritance of a top sect is an unimaginable treasure for anyone. With this inheritance, it would not be a problem for Changsheng to establish his own sect and open a major sect in Wuzhou.

If this matter were to spread, not only would the various factions in Wuzhou be willing to risk everything to hunt down the two of them, but even the neighboring continents in the Southern Region would be willing to risk everything for the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

After all, the inheritance of a first-rate sect is incredibly tempting, enough to make them risk everything.

Therefore, Han Mengnan had clearly considered this point. A solemn expression appeared on her weak and pale face as she looked at the two of them and said earnestly:

"This matter concerns the inheritance of our Heavenly Sword Pavilion and is of paramount importance. If it is accidentally leaked out, it will surely attract the covetous eyes of various forces, and you will be caught in an endless pursuit."

"For your safety, we have kept it well hidden all the time. If the secrets of this sect's inheritance are accidentally leaked, we can only reveal them openly when we are strong enough to withstand all storms. I hope that will be the time when the name of our Heavenly Sword Pavilion will be restored to the continent."

As Lord Han spoke, a sudden look of astonishment crossed his face, and his gaze darkened slightly.

Yu Changsheng and Meng Wu'an exchanged glances, sensing Han Mengnan's somber mood. They each swallowed hard, nodded, and said in a low voice:

"Please rest assured, Lord Han, we have our own plans. We will proceed with extreme caution in all our actions."

After all, many years ago, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was ultimately destroyed by the Dream Yao Holy Land. Regardless of whether the Dream Yao Holy Land was an old stronghold before the Xuan Tian War or a newly emerging force after the Xuan Tian War, a Holy Land is a Holy Land, high above and far beyond what ordinary sects can resist.

However, after so many years, if the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's legacy were to fall into the eyes of the Holy Emperor Mengyao again, it would be difficult to guarantee that the other party wouldn't do something. Even the slightest move would be a catastrophic disaster for them.

Therefore, accepting this lineage requires utmost caution and discretion in all matters to ensure a peaceful transition. Simply put...

—Play it safe and don't be reckless!

"I hope so, and that everything goes well."

Han Mengnan sighed and shook her head. After giving a few more instructions, she didn't say anything more. Instead, she gave the two of them a deep look before turning to look at Li Minghan, who was watching the drama unfold. Her lips twitched, and her eyes showed some surprise and uncertainty.

"What's wrong, Lord Han?"

Seeing Han Mengnan look at him, Li Minghan was stunned for a moment, then became excited, but still asked curiously, not understanding why.

"I'm wondering if we should lift the lockdown? This is the memory you're seeing, it's safer that way."

Han Mengnan didn't shy away from the topic and spoke honestly in a calm tone.

"Huh?" Li Minghan's smile froze abruptly, his expression turning troubled. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his lips twitched involuntarily. He turned to look at Yu Changsheng, and spoke with difficulty:

"Lord Han, if you are worried, erasing this memory is fine. I naturally have no objection. This way, both of us will be at ease, and there won't be any major problems."

Li Minghan was somewhat downcast.

"Hmm." Han Menglan noticed Li Minghan's slight mood but didn't mind. She nodded, seemingly agreeing with him.

Of the three, Yu Changsheng and Meng Wu'an were already entangled with the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, so they were all in the same boat. Therefore, Han Mengnan had nothing to worry about.

Li Minghan was the only one who witnessed the whole thing but didn't participate. What worried Han Mengnan was that Li Minghan would leak the news after they left, which would bring an unpredictable crisis to the two of them.

To be on the safe side, she suggested that Li Minghan's memories of this period be erased. This would be a good thing, although it would have some impact on Li Minghan, but overall it would not be a big deal and would be acceptable.

Li Minghan had clearly thought of this as well. Regardless of what he was thinking, he ultimately agreed.

"What does that mean?"

At this moment, Yu Changsheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He glanced at Li Minghan, then looked at Han Mengnan, and said in surprise:

"Lord Han knows that there are three of us brothers, so Li Minghan is not an outsider either, so why erase his memory?"

"But... this is..."

Han Mengnan was surprised, and her face immediately showed hesitation. She looked at Yu Changsheng with some doubt and uncertainty, as if she was very surprised.

So he calmly said, "I'm just stating the facts and doing this for your own good. I respect any opinions you may have."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Lord Han, but there's no need for that. You and I are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together, and our friendship is certainly trustworthy. Such a gesture would only make us seem distant."

Yu Changsheng smiled, but his tone was very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Han Mengnan was surprised, while Li Minghan looked up gratefully at Yu Changsheng, his eyes filled with both astonishment and emotion.

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, paused, and continued tactfully, "So there's no need for City Lord Han to trouble himself. I trust Li Minghan, and Li Minghan trusts me. There won't be any unexpected events in the next few days."

Although Yu Changsheng's expression was gentle, his words revealed a resolute and unquestionable tone.

Han Mengnan remained silent for a long time, her gaze slightly narrowed. After a long while, she exhaled a deep breath, shook her head, smiled gently, and looked at the two of them, saying, "Since that's the case, there's really no need for such a fuss. The friendship between you two is truly rare. Having a like-minded friend is a blessing in life. I hope you can support each other."

There were some things Han Mengnan didn't say aloud, but he felt there was no need to say them now. What he wanted to tell Yu Changsheng was that the most unreliable thing in the cultivation world was brotherhood. In the face of true opportunities, let alone brothers who are as close as hands and feet, even biological parents may abandon or betray you. This is a common occurrence in the cultivation world.

She was also worried that if something unexpected happened between the three of them one day, and a rift formed, then today's events would be the biggest hidden danger. So rather than passively creating hidden dangers for herself in the future, it would be better to resolve them all at once now to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Han Mengnan knew these principles from Yu Changsheng; she couldn't possibly be unaware of them. However, since Yu Changsheng had made them so clear, she naturally wouldn't insist on doing them, as that would only provoke resentment from others. This was not what Han Mengnan wanted.

Yu Changsheng naturally understood what Han Mengnan was thinking, so after saying these words, he chuckled, patted Li Minghan on the shoulder, and said with a laugh:

"Besides, I believe that Lord Hancheng is not a stingy person. If Minghan needs it in the future, he will surely be able to pass on some of the non-sword skills from this opportunity, right?"

"At that time, we will all be three brothers, sharing joys and sorrows, advancing and retreating together, and prospering together. What is there to worry about?"

Upon hearing this, Li Minghan's eyebrows twitched slightly, he swallowed, and looked at Yu Changsheng with pursed lips. The latter simply turned his head and smiled gently at him, everything understood without words.

"..." Han Mengnan was silent for a moment, then said, "I was overthinking it."

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

"Hehe." Yu Changsheng scratched his head.

It's no wonder Han Mengnan thought that way; after all, the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is of great importance, so it's normal to be cautious.

As for this Seed of Inheritance, Yu Changsheng has no intention of touching it for the time being. He can sense that with his current level of spiritual power, it would be quite troublesome to digest and comprehend it. Right now, he can only bear the Seed of Inheritance. To open it, he will probably have to wait until he advances to the Purple Mansion.

This is not because the information contained in this inheritance is so vast—after all, with the divine soul power of a peak Golden Core cultivator, the amount of information that can exist is enormous—but rather because of the special nature of this inheritance seed, which involves the existence of "momentum," and therefore not everyone can easily bear it.

A lineage is not simply a collection of cultivation techniques and scriptures. If it were, it would at most be considered the transmission of cultivation techniques, albeit in large quantities. It would not be worthy of being called a lineage, nor would it be worth Han Mengnan's careful consideration.

A true lineage, worthy of being passed down, must be the true foundation of a sect, containing more than just cultivation methods and scriptures.

There is also the general history of this sect's development, the traces etched in the heavens and earth, the human relationships and customs related to this sect, the historical origins since its establishment, and the intangible fortune that has existed over the years.

This is why this seed of inheritance is so heavy; even the sword intent it unleashed almost made Yu Changsheng lose his mind and couldn't withstand it.

Sword intent is the manifestation of the destiny and karma of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's inherited seed.

By inheriting this legacy, the sect's fortune and its hidden karma naturally become intertwined with the cultivator's own destiny. This is a good thing for the cultivator, bringing many benefits, but it is also a burden.

There are opportunities, and there are also hardships.

The seed of inheritance, the seed of inheritance, since it is called a seed, then it naturally needs to take root, grow slowly, and then be nurtured into a towering tree.

This is the recipient's obligation and responsibility, which is unavoidable. After all, having received the protection of this fortune, one must also do some corresponding things, which is why Han Mengnan is so cautious.

As for the enemies of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, once someone accepts the weight of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's inheritance, they will inevitably be hunted down and antagonized. This is unavoidable, regardless of whether the person has any grudge against them; it is simply a matter of cause and effect.

These thoughts flashed through Changsheng's mind, and after a moment of contemplation, he suppressed them, muttering to himself in a low voice:

"Forget it, why think so much? I already have a lot of karma on my hands, and it's quite heavy. This inheritance from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion is nothing to me. How could I possibly refuse to leave empty-handed when faced with such a treasure? This does solve some of my immediate problems."

"With my cultivation reaching the Purple Mansion level, the resources of the Myriad Manifestations Sect alone are hardly enough to support my continued cultivation. The small Martial Continent is ultimately insufficient to provide for my steady, strong, and far-reaching progress. But now, with the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, I can continue to cultivate for a long time."

Yu Changsheng thought to himself, then smiled and looked at Han Mengnan, bowing respectfully with his hands clasped in front of him.

It can be said that, apart from the Dao patterns, Yu Changsheng's greatest gain from this trip to the Enlightenment Realm was this Seed of Inheritance. The inheritance of a first-class sect, even with karmic connections, is enough to drive many people mad.

"However, on the other hand, it also shows that Lord Han's time is indeed running out. This move, which seems to be a sign of trust in us, also has a sense of helplessness and is somewhat like a desperate measure."

"Furthermore, it seems that Lord Han held a rather high position in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion during his lifetime..."

A sect can only gather a handful of seeds of inheritance. Those who gather and pass on these seeds of inheritance must have a deep connection with the sect. First and foremost, they must be members of the sect and have made significant contributions to it.

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but think this way. As he pondered, he looked up at Han Mengnan.

The latter's expression had returned to calm, but when she looked at Yu Changsheng, her eyes flickered with a deeper meaning. Meeting Yu Changsheng's gaze, Han Mengnan said softly:

"Don't think too much. This is just some planning. It would be good if the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's legacy could be carried forward. However, don't put too much pressure on yourselves. If I can successfully escape this Enlightenment Realm, the karmic consequences you need to bear will naturally be much smaller."

"Even if I fail in the end and perish, I will still leave behind the seeds of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in this world. Perhaps one day, they will take root and sprout, and not be completely buried by time."

"I can bear the consequences of this fate, and I hope everything goes smoothly."

Han Mengnan sighed softly, looked up at the moon, and suddenly became lost in thought. Her long black hair shone brightly in the moonlight, and fluttered in the wind, making her look even more stunning.

Meng Wu'an frowned, while Yu Changsheng raised his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
