Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 471 Unexpected Changes
The power of heaven and earth surged into Changsheng's body, tempering his golden core, divine soul, and even his physical body, creating a continuous cycle of life. Profound meaning flowed into it, and under these circumstances, the three flowers gathered at the top of his head, which was extremely sacred.
Within his dantian, the eight primordial Dao patterns of "metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and illusion" flickered with a faint light, causing the power of heaven and earth to tilt. Under this condition, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core was constantly being tempered, becoming more and more extraordinary and enhancing Yu Changsheng's cultivation.
"Primordial Dao patterns, three flowers converging at the top..."
"His foundation at the Golden Core stage is unmatched. Even if he breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage, he will undoubtedly become the strongest among those in the same realm. With such talent and so many years of experience, what can the Holy Land do against him!"
Han Mengnan looked at Yu Changsheng with bright, sparkling eyes. Amazed, she smiled gently as she watched him slowly open his eyes.
"Congratulations, everything went smoothly. Your talent is impeccable. With the Heavenly Dao Golden Core and the eight primordial Dao patterns, it can be said that your path to the Great Dao is completely smooth. After we take you back, you will be able to advance to the Purple Mansion in no time."
Han Mengnan clicked her tongue in amazement.
Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, feeling the surge of cultivation within his body, and smiled slowly, replying, "I have to thank City Lord Han. If it weren't for your great help, I really wouldn't have been able to reach this point."
"I'm just doing this for myself."
Han Mengnan answered with a light laugh, and Yu Changsheng gave Han Mengnan a meaningful look upon hearing this.
"However, this is the limit." Yu Changsheng shook his head, feeling the Heavenly Dao Golden Core in his body, and said with a helpless smile, "Eight primordial Dao patterns seem to be the limit that my Heavenly Dao Golden Core can bear, it has reached its saturation."
"It's probably impossible to carve another one."
The surface of the purplish-gold Heavenly Dao Golden Core is now densely covered with eight mysterious primordial Dao patterns, making it appear crowded. These Dao patterns serve as both a refining and blessing for the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and also a burden.
Yu Changsheng could clearly feel his physical condition. The eight original Dao patterns were almost too much for his Golden Core to handle. If he were to inscribe another one, Yu Changsheng had no confidence and no idea how to proceed.
"Eight primordial Dao patterns are already quite astonishing and sufficient for my needs, but there's no need to push everything to the limit," Yu Changsheng didn't dwell on this too much. He was already quite satisfied with the current situation.
"More importantly, I probably won't have time to inscribe the ninth primordial Dao pattern."
Yu Changsheng looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
As Chen Tianci's Dao patterns were devoured, all traces of Chen Tianci's existence were erased from this world. For the entire Enlightenment World, this was a loss of its origin. Yu Changsheng could also feel more clearly that the repulsion of this world against him had increased significantly in an instant.
It felt as if I was being rejected.
Yu Changsheng could understand this, after all, it would be strange if someone welcomed him when he was feasting in someone else's world.
"I won't be able to stay in this world for much longer."
Yu Changsheng spoke truthfully, and as he spoke, he stretched out his palm and waved it gently. Instantly, the void twisted slightly, and a sense of repulsion arose from all directions. Light was distorted, space was compressed, and there was some kind of will of heaven and earth driving him away.
Originally, this process should have taken another ten days or so, but clearly, Chen Tianci's death and the absorption of the Dao patterns accelerated this rejection process.
Yu Changsheng was helpless, and Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan also arrived at this moment. Looking at Yu Changsheng and Han Mengnan, the two looked worried. They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the two were safe and sound.
"Chang Sheng, are you alright?"
"It's alright. Everything went smoothly." Yu Changsheng shook his head and smiled slightly.
"Then... what about Chen Tianci?" Meng Wu'an was taken aback and asked hesitantly.
"He was killed by Lord Han," Yu Changsheng answered truthfully.
Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan exchanged a glance, looked at each other blankly, then turned to look at Han Mengnan, whose expression remained unchanged, and couldn't help but scratch their heads.
"It's good that you're safe." Li Minghan chuckled, then a hint of confusion crossed his face as he asked, puzzled:
"However... I sense that the repulsion of this world against me has become even stronger, as if it has been accelerated in an instant. It seems that we need to leave here ahead of time," Li Minghan said uncertainly.
A sense of spatial blurring also arose around Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan; clearly, they felt it too.
"That's right. Killing Chen Tianci accelerated our time in the Enlightenment Realm," Yu Changsheng nodded, explaining succinctly.
After saying that, Yu Changsheng turned to look at Han Mengnan, who was smiling at the three of them. Yu Changsheng asked, "Time is of the essence. How can I cooperate with you to bring you out of the Enlightenment Realm?"
Han Mengnan frowned and said, "Part of my origin is already connected to the Enlightenment Realm and is locked by this realm. It is impossible for you to take me out directly."
"Now, I can only abandon this body and turn my remaining soul into a seed, placing it in your sea of consciousness. With the help of the Dead Sea's cover, I can erase my aura and perhaps escape the rules of this world and leave with you."
"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Is that all?"
"Other methods are too superficial and unnecessary. We have no choice but to take this risk." Han Mengnan raised her eyes and looked at Yu Changsheng with sincere eyes.
"This process requires your absolute trust in me, allowing my soul seed to enter your sea of consciousness. There is still a certain risk for you. Are you willing to trust me?"
Han Mengnan spoke softly, her tone sincere, and her bright, sparkling eyes made it hard to refuse.
However, Yu Changsheng chuckled lightly, and amidst the other party's surprised gaze, he politely declined: "I'm afraid that won't do, City Lord Han. Would it be appropriate for me to open my sea of consciousness to you and insert your divine soul seed?"
"Why?" Han Mengnan was surprised, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid you'll do something shady and take the opportunity to possess me."
Yu Changsheng waved his hand and spoke frankly without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
Opening one's own sea of consciousness to let in the soul seed of another is tantamount to opening the door and letting people come and go as they please. If the person who comes is a good person, then of course we can drink and make merry. But if the person who comes is a robber, it is tantamount to letting a wolf into the house. Such things as cuckoos taking over the nest often happen.
"You don't believe me?"
Han Mengnan frowned, her tone carrying a hint of surprise and resentment.
"I believe it, but we can't believe it to the fullest extent, right?"
Yu Changsheng pursed his lips, his expression unchanged. The surrounding light became even more distorted, and the space itself became blurry. A repulsive force descended from the eight directions of heaven and earth, enveloping the three of them.
"Young friend Yu, that's a bit unfair. We made a promise back then. You know, I've gone to so much trouble for you all this way, destroying the City of Chaos, killing Chen Tianci, helping to inscribe the eight primordial Dao patterns, and putting myself in danger several times. Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"
"Haven't I been good enough to you? I've tried my best."
Han Mengnan sighed softly, her expression puzzled.
"We did have an agreement, but you didn't say you'd be taken out in this way. I can't take that kind of risk." Yu Changsheng waved his hand and shrugged, unmoved, his tone resolute.
"It's precisely because you've tried so hard that I'm a little worried. I'm afraid that in the end, everything will just benefit you."
The conversation between the two didn't shy away from Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan. Seeing that their communication was stalled, Meng Wu'an fell silent, hesitant to speak, while Li Minghan looked somewhat uncertain, glancing at Yu Changsheng and then at Han Mengnan. Sensing the repulsive force of the surrounding world, he spoke anxiously:
"Time is running out... I think..." Li Minghan swallowed hard, his lips twitching, and said, "Lord Han has indeed been working diligently all this way, he certainly didn't have any ulterior motives, otherwise..."
Li Minghan looked at Yu Changsheng with a pleading look in his eyes. He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.
Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng frowned, glared fiercely at Li Minghan, and remained silent.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Li Minghan shrank back, turned to look at Han Mengnan, and said through gritted teeth:
"Lord Han, this matter is indeed somewhat risky, and it's normal for Changsheng to have concerns. Please don't overthink it. We three brothers are certainly not ungrateful people. Changsheng has too much on his shoulders, which is inconvenient for him, but I, Li Minghan, am willing to open my sea of consciousness, let your divine soul seed in, and take you out. I, Li Minghan, am willing to take this risk."
Li Minghan patted his chest, his expression showing a hint of hesitation, yet he still spoke with such sincerity that Han Mengnan was taken aback, her eyes sparkling with affection.
"I, Meng Wu'an, am also willing."
Meng Wu'an suddenly appeared at this moment, said something, and looked at Yu Changsheng with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He was not an irrational person, but Han Mengnan had given him the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, which softened Sanhua's heart a lot, and he trusted Han Mengnan more and became closer to her.
As for Li Minghan, he genuinely has feelings for Han Mengnan.
Yu Changsheng remained silent on the matter, simply observing coldly.
Thus, of the three, only Yu Changsheng disagreed, indicating some discord.
This scene, however, caused Han Mengnan's gaze to change, her expression softening slightly as she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid it won't work for just the two of you."
"Why?" Li Minghan and Meng Wu'an asked, puzzled.
"She doesn't even want your physical bodies," Yu Changsheng said coldly, then turned to Han Mengnan, nodding and mocking, "You agree, don't you, City Lord Han? My body with eight runes is the one you truly desire."
"Chang Sheng, you..." Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan's lips twitched, their expressions conflicted, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
Han Mengnan sighed softly, a hint of regret and helplessness in her lowered gaze, and said in a low voice:
"You're really wary. You didn't trust me in the first place, did you?"
"That's not it," Yu Changsheng denied.
"However," Han Mengnan raised her eyes, staring intently at Yu Changsheng, the regret and helplessness on her face vanishing completely. She pursed her red lips, licked them slightly, and said:
"You're right about one thing. I really like your body. Heavenly Dao Golden Core, Primordial Dao Patterns, limitless potential. It's practically tailor-made for me."
"See? Their true colors have been revealed."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan were both stunned, looking at Han Mengnan in disbelief, while Yu Changsheng muttered something.
"I must say, you are indeed the most amazing person I have ever seen. You are exceptionally talented and have unlimited potential. Even disciples of the Holy Land cannot compare to you."
Han Mengnan, on the contrary, regained her composure at this moment and smiled as she looked at Yu Changsheng, as if she were admiring a work of art, with a hint of infatuation and greed.
"If I obtain such a body, not only can I restore my previous cultivation level in the shortest time, but I can also easily break through from the Void Refinement stage to a higher level."
Han Mengnan exclaimed in amazement, her tone making no attempt to hide her admiration for the body, and she simply didn't bother to conceal it anymore.
"Lord Han, you..." Li Minghan looked at Han Mengnan in a daze, his body swaying.
Han Mengnan merely glanced at Li Minghan and ignored him. Li Minghan was heartbroken, and his face stiffened.
Han Mengnan continued to scrutinize Yu Changsheng, chuckled, and said, "I must say, you are indeed very vigilant. When did you realize something was amiss?"
"If I said it just now, would you believe me?" Yu Changsheng waved his hand and chuckled. "Now that I've seen through you, are you very angry? And you can't do anything about it. I don't agree. With your current state, there's no way you can enter my sea of consciousness."
Han Mengnan shook her head, her face showing no panic or anger. Instead, she gave Yu Changsheng a deep look and chuckled, "It's alright, I've already entered."
"uh-huh?"
Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, and the next moment, the repulsive force from all directions grew stronger and stronger. Han Mengnan in front of him suddenly exhaled a long breath of white air, which steamed and twisted into a dark gray Dao pattern.
The Dao patterns were dull and lacked luster, yet they exuded an ancient and domineering aura.
"Primal Dao patterns?" Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
"Did you really think that the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Seed of Inheritance that I gave you before was merely an inheritance?"
Lord Han chuckled, lightly touching the dark Dao patterns with his finger. The next moment, his body blurred and turned into specks of light, surging into the dark Dao patterns.
In an instant, the dark Dao pattern brightened, bursting forth with dazzling golden light. Its profound meaning resonated throughout heaven and earth. In that instant, the entire Enlightenment Realm trembled. Time seemed to stand still, all light vanished, the sun and moon lost their luster, and the world plunged into darkness. Only the Dao pattern before them became the sole source of light. (End of Chapter)
