Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Illusion, and Light—the nine primordial Dao patterns emerged in the void, conjuring various astonishing phenomena that accentuated Yu Changsheng's body, making him appear even more like an immortal or a god, standing tall between heaven and earth with an imposing aura. His astonishing aura continued to climb, advancing towards the Purple Mansion realm.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng's brilliance was the focus of the world's attention. The Three Flowers gathered at the top of his head, covering the sky. With a wave of his sleeve, the Crimson Purgatory Dragon soared through the void, the might of the Xuan Turtle shook the heavens and earth, the Colorful Star Deer blew softly, the Golden-Winged Roc roared, and the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword floated in front of him.

The five tamed beasts simultaneously unleashed the aura of the peak of the third tier, causing everyone to tremble.

Rumble!!!

The sky shifted, and suddenly, thick clouds of tribulation clouds drifted in with the wind, enveloping Yu Changsheng. They were densely packed, with arcs of electricity flashing and purple lightning crisscrossing the sky. A terrifying pressure descended, and the might of heaven locked onto Yu Changsheng in the air, exploding across the heavens.

Purple lightning flashed, stirring up layers of storms within the abyss. Instantly, the gazes of cultivators from various sects within the abyss were cast towards it, and a clamor suddenly erupted.

"This is... such immense power! The Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head—is someone about to advance to the Purple Mansion realm?!"

"A heavenly tribulation?! Which genius is about to break through, triggering a heavenly tribulation? Heaven is jealous of talent!"

"Impossible! Those who can descend into the abyss are all over a hundred years old. At such an age, someone has already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage and advanced to the Purple Mansion stage?! Who is it? Is it someone from the Three Sects, or a cultivator from Qingzhou?"

"Wait, that person... doesn't that look like Yu Changsheng? How is that possible? Wasn't he just at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?!"

"Yu Changsheng of the Myriad Manifestations Sect? It really is him! Damn it, how many fortuitous encounters did he obtain to increase his cultivation so rapidly!"

A series of surprised and doubtful voices rang out, while the Wanxiang Sect members closest to Yu Changsheng stared blankly at Yu Changsheng in the sky, their expressions dazed and incredulous.

"Is Senior Brother Changsheng... about to undergo tribulation?"

"When did he reach the peak of the Golden Core stage? My god, how long has it been since he advanced to the Golden Core stage, and he's already about to break through to the Purple Mansion stage?"

"A prodigy, is this what a prodigy is?"

Some were amazed, some were moved, and some had complex expressions, but all of them shared a deeper sense of awe and respect for Yu Changsheng.

Because they were from the same sect, they understood the extraordinary talent of Yu Changsheng, and were even more shocked.

Only Meng Wu'an and Li Minghan were not surprised. They exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and smiled wryly.

"This guy is definitely holding back something big. Only he could create such a huge impact." Meng Wu'an smiled wryly, his expression somewhat complicated.

Li Minghan scratched his head, seemingly unsurprised by this, and pursed his lips: "This is really abnormal. He's only been at the Golden Core stage for a short time, and he's already at the Purple Mansion stage. And judging by his momentum, this Purple Mansion stage is probably no ordinary one."

Both of them had made great gains in the Enlightenment Realm, and their cultivation had made breakthroughs, but compared with Yu Changsheng, they were obviously no match.

"I hope he succeeds in overcoming his tribulation," Meng Wu'an sighed softly.

Normally, when a Golden Core cultivator advances to the Purple Mansion realm, they don't reach the level of undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. This is true for most cultivators as well. However, there are always exceptions. Some extraordinary geniuses in the world can trigger the Heavenly Tribulation even when they break through to a lower realm.

Just like when Yu Changsheng broke through to the Golden Core stage, because he condensed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, it also triggered a Heavenly Tribulation to temper him. Now, when he breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage, it will naturally trigger a Heavenly Tribulation to descend.

Moreover, the scale of the event was so immense and earth-shattering that Yu Changsheng was not particularly surprised. He simply raised his eyes, looked at the dense tribulation clouds in the sky, and remained calm.

From a distance, Yu Changsheng, standing beneath the clouds of tribulation, appeared extremely small, like an ant under the might of heaven, yet he was impossible to ignore and was dazzlingly brilliant.

Thunder rumbled, and Yu Changsheng's aura became even more violent. The tribulation clouds continued to expand, exceeding a hundred miles in length, churning as if thunder dragons were surging within them, bringing with them the opportunity to destroy the world.

At that very moment, a hundred miles away from Yu Changsheng, another aura suddenly rose up, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and rapidly ascended, soon surpassing the peak of the Golden Core stage, also heading towards the Purple Mansion stage.

Rumble!!

And so, the tribulation clouds descended simultaneously, muffled thunder ripped through the sky, suppressing a terrifying aura that enveloped the abyss. There was also the aura of a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, though not as powerful as Yu Changsheng's, it still erupted forcefully, attracting the tribulation clouds. The heavenly tribulation descended, and beneath the dark, oppressive expanse, a peerless figure stood proudly beneath the tribulation. He too possessed the Three Flowers Gathering at the top of his head, with seven Dao patterns surrounding him, connecting with the power of heaven and earth. Faintly, a long dragon of imperial fortune protected him, empowering him!

It was none other than Huangpu Yuanji, who had not yet appeared in the Enlightenment Realm!

Clearly, the premature closure of the Enlightenment Tower excluded not only Yu Changsheng, Meng Wu'an, and Li Minghan, but also Huangpu Yuanji.

Huangpu Yuanji had already reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm, and with the gains he made in the Enlightenment Realm, he naturally broke through to the Purple Mansion realm, triggering a heavenly tribulation.

Two auras, both carrying the power of unparalleled strength, were separated by a hundred miles, one to the east and one to the west. In this abyss, they stirred up the winds and clouds with their martial arts. When they erupted, they were like the two poles of heaven and earth, facing each other from afar. At this moment, the heavenly tribulation became a background setting. Only these two figures became the protagonists, further highlighting their extraordinary nature.

"Huangpu Yuanji..."

Beneath the clouds of tribulation, Yu Changsheng sensed the aura on the other side, gazing into the distance with a calm expression, showing little surprise.

On the other side, Huangpu Yuanji also looked towards Yu Changsheng. Their gazes collided across space, as if invisible sparks were flying. One was calm, while the other frowned.

The one frowning was naturally Huangpu Yuanji.

"Yu Changsheng... I was at a critical stage in inscribing Dao patterns in the Enlightenment Realm and didn't meet you. I never expected that we would have our first confrontation in this way so soon after I came out. How interesting."

Huangpu Yuanji murmured to himself, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Yu Changsheng from afar, a hint of astonishment and apprehension flashing deep in his eyes.

"Nine Dao patterns... two more than me. However, Dao patterns don't represent everything. My accumulation in the Golden Core stage is not something a greenhorn like you, who just happened to have a stroke of luck, can easily surpass..."

After thinking it over, Huangpu Yuanji's eyes turned slightly cold. He exhaled a deep breath, looked up at the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky, and once again increased the distance between himself and Yu Changsheng, preparing to concentrate on undergoing the tribulation.

Regardless of any grudges he might have against Yu Changsheng, he needed to overcome his tribulation first. It was clearly inappropriate to cause trouble for Yu Changsheng at this time. To avoid interference from the tribulation clouds between the two, he deliberately kept his distance.

This was also Yu Changsheng's idea, after all, the tribulation for advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Purple Mansion stage was extraordinary.

"When I finish my tribulation, that will be the time to kill you!" This thought flashed through Huangpu Yuanji's mind. The next moment, rumbling thunder roared, tribulation clouds spread, and the terrifying power brewing within them rose even higher.

Rumble!!!

Looking up from below, the calamity clouds surrounding the two stretched for hundreds of miles, a dark and oppressive mass that enveloped the sky, creating an atmosphere of suffocation that made it seem as if the end of the world had arrived.

The world fell silent, save for the rumbling thunder, which transformed into a symphony, like the resounding beat of drums. Yu Changsheng and Huangfu Yuanji were the drummers controlling everything, the protagonists playing this grand symphony.

He was the center of attention, drawing all eyes to him, and gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

"There's still a tribulation cloud; someone else is undergoing tribulation?!"

"For two prodigies to break through at the same time and in the same place is truly a rare occurrence!"

"Wait a minute, this person looks like the Crown Prince of Qingzhou, Huangfu Yuanji! Is he about to break through to the Purple Mansion realm?"

"What's going on here? Did these two plan this? This is really interesting. They seem like they're going head-to-head."

"If both of them successfully overcome their tribulations, then... a battle of epic proportions is likely to ensue!"

The crowd gasped in surprise; some were expectant, some were incredulous, and some had mixed feelings—various emotions varied from person to person.

…………

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

Yu Changsheng didn't care about what the others were thinking. The existence of Huangpu Yuanji only caught his attention briefly before he withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the impending tribulation.

Yu Changsheng was no stranger to tribulations. Back when he broke through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, he had already undergone a tribulation. To this day, Yu Changsheng still felt lingering fear from that tribulation. It was almost a matter of life and death. If he hadn't been saved by the sword spirit of the Immortal Sword at the last moment, he would probably have been in grave danger.

This time, the power of the heavenly tribulation was undoubtedly far greater than the last. The tribulation clouds that had been churning so much had already reached a distance of eight hundred miles. The tribulation clouds were thick, with fine lightning surging one after another, like thunder dragons roaring, preparing for the final destruction of the world. The terrifying aura locked onto Yu Changsheng, and the majestic power of heaven oppressed his mind.

"However, compared to last time, my preparations this time are far greater. Whether it's the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, the Heavenly Dao Qi, or the Nine Primordial Dao Patterns, these are all my sources of confidence."

Yu Changsheng murmured, raised his eyes to look directly at the Heavenly Tribulation, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, appearing somewhat unrestrained. With a wave of his sleeve, the Crimson Hell Dragon, the Colorful Star Deer, the Golden-Winged Roc, the Black Tortoise, and the Purple Spirit Emperor surrounded him, emitting a deafening power.

"Heavenly Tribulation, come!"

Rumble!!

In an instant, the heavenly tribulation seemed to have reached its peak. With a low roar, a streak tore through the sky, bursting through the darkness with unrestrained force, and crashed down with overwhelming force!

A terrifying aura emanated from the sky, an astonishing pressure pressed down, and purple lightning exploded. Like a rift in the heavens, it suddenly tore through the sky and lashed out fiercely at Yu Changsheng!

The lightning tribulation surged and struck, immediately eliciting gasps from the crowd and causing their gazes to sharpen.

"This first tribulation alone gives me the feeling of someone at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Can he overcome this tribulation?"

"Generally speaking, the greater one's talent, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation. In this case, Yu Changsheng has probably reached the pinnacle of the Golden Core realm!"

"Heh, it would be best to go even harder, so he can't get through it... better to just wait to die."

Some were worried, some sneered, but they all silently moved further away from Yu Changsheng's tribulation site, just watching intently. They didn't want to be drawn into Yu Changsheng's heavenly tribulation.

.........

Zizizi!

As the first lightning bolt struck, Yu Changsheng remained calm, neither dodging nor avoiding it, and instead withstood it with his physical body.

In an instant, endless arcs of electricity leaped across Yu Changsheng's body. Yu Changsheng groaned and exhaled a breath of black gas. His face was slightly charred, but as his blood and qi surged, he instantly returned to normal.

To outsiders, this first tribulation lightning, which is unbearable for anyone below the peak of the Golden Core stage, is merely an appetizer to him. With such physical strength, this level of tribulation lightning is naturally no match for him.

However, Yu Changsheng would not underestimate it because of this. Instead, his gaze narrowed slightly, a bolt of lightning flashed, and in an instant, another lightning tribulation descended!

Rumble!!

Thunder raged, its violent aura influencing the void and distorting the surroundings. Streaks of purple lightning descended, like lifelike dragons, roaring and howling, carrying the force to annihilate everything, and suddenly crashed down! Strike towards Yu Changsheng!

Yu Changsheng's eyes brightened slightly, and he still chose not to dodge or evade. His physical body stood firm, and his blood and qi surged like a flood, washing over his internal organs. A flower bloomed on his body above his head, resisting the lightning tribulation!

"Sizzle!!"

The thunder roared and struck Yu Changsheng. Yu Changsheng's body trembled for a moment, but that was all. His blood and qi burned like in a furnace, flowing through his limbs and bones, quickly dissolving the power of the thunder.

Rumble!!

The tribulation clouds surged, and when the first attack failed, the heavenly lightning continued to rain down. This time, it wasn't one bolt, but nine!

Nine bolts of heavenly lightning, interconnected as if descending from the heavens, each as thick as a bucket, possessed no fancy designs, only the most violent power, rising in preparation and falling in destruction!

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his sleeve, the Crimson Hell Dragon roared and soared into the sky, its dragon might vast and continuous. Its hundred-foot-tall body stood in front of Yu Changsheng and slammed into the nine lightning tribulations!

"Click, click, click..."

The heavenly thunder roared, unleashing boundless divine power, all of which exploded on the Crimson Hell Dragon. The Crimson Hell Dragon roared, its dragon cries echoing, every scale on its body bathed in lightning, shimmering with brilliant light, yet it only trembled slightly, remaining completely unharmed amidst the flashing golden light.

Through continuous absorption of Dao essence in the Enlightenment Realm, the True Bone of the Spirit Dragon and the True Blood of the Flame Emperor Spirit Dragon have now been completely absorbed and fused within the Crimson Hell Dragon's body, and its physical strength has reached an inconceivable level.

With just one opportunity, one can break through to the fourth rank. Similarly, the same applies to the Starry Deer and the Golden-Winged Roc. This tribulation is not only Yu Changsheng's tribulation, but also theirs. If they pass through it, they will enter the fourth rank!

Thunder rumbled, tearing through the void and distorting space. Streaks of purple lightning descended, resembling from afar a gigantic willow tree with countless strands hanging down, coiling in the air. The force of destruction had fallen upon Yu Changsheng! (End of Chapter)
