Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The array's light shone brightly, and in the hazy light, outside the array, Chen Yan's figure remained slightly bowed, extremely respectful.

"Hmm," Yuan Menghua nodded, glancing at Chen Yan through the array, and said calmly:

"Just a friendly reminder: Wuzhou will be in turmoil for some time to come, with a rapidly changing situation that could lead to disaster. I hope you are well."

As soon as the words were spoken, the teleportation array burst into full light, the space suddenly distorted, engulfing everyone, and their figures disappeared.

"call……"

Seeing this, Chen Yan let out a long breath, looked at the spot where Yuan Menghua and the others had disappeared, gently wiped away the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, and gave a wry smile.

"This is difficult. Although I don't know who that person is from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, he gives me an unfathomable feeling. I'm afraid he has already reached the Purple Mansion Realm."

Chen Yan muttered to himself, recalling what Yuan Menghua had just said, lost in thought.

"The people of the Myriad Manifestations Sect are returning to their sect in such a hurry... Judging from the direction they're heading, they must have just returned from the Fallen Cliff Abyss."

"And at this critical juncture of the two armies' confrontation... if nothing unexpected happens, something must have gone wrong at the front lines. Something must have happened at the Fallen Cliff Abyss, and the situation is very unfavorable for Wuzhou..."

Chen Yan frowned, countless thoughts churning in his mind, and his heart sank slightly.

The news of the fall into the abyss hadn't reached the ears of a rogue cultivator like him so quickly, but based on Yuan Menghua's movements, he had some guesses, coupled with those words of advice...

"It seems that Wuzhou is about to undergo a major upheaval."

Chen Yan murmured to himself, exhaled softly, shook his head, and suppressed these thoughts.

"Forget it, these things are beyond the comprehension of a mere Golden Core cultivator like myself. Even a behemoth like the Myriad Manifestations Sect is powerless to help, so what difference would it make if I knew?"

"In these chaotic times, I hope Qingzhou won't go too far astray... Let's hope everything stays peaceful."

Chen Yan sighed softly. With his Golden Core cultivation, he was undoubtedly the overlord of Qingyan City, but what did he amount to in the vast Wuzhou region?

He could only struggle in the cracks. He was able to live peacefully in one place only because of his ability to get along with everyone. But if Wuzhou changed its regime and Qingzhou invaded, Chen Yan had no idea how long this peaceful life could last.

.........

.........

Space distorted, and after a dizzying spin, the world before my eyes became clear again. Then, the world changed, and I arrived at the array on the Sword Peak of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

"Finally back."

Yuan Menghua slowly exhaled and stepped out of the formation. The surrounding disciples immediately bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Ancestor."

"Um."

Yuan Menghua nodded, glanced back at the Myriad Manifestations Sect members who had just recovered, her gaze lingering on Yu Changsheng for a moment before she nodded slightly and said:

"Time is of the essence. Go back and get some rest. Wait for the sect's instructions. Do not go out during this time."

"Okay," Li Minghan and the other disciples replied.

Yuan Menghua thought for a moment, then turned to Yu Changsheng and added, "Changsheng, could you also ask Old Wei if he has any ideas?"

"Mm." Yu Changsheng nodded and bowed with his hands clasped.

After giving a brief explanation, Yuan Menghua didn't linger and rushed towards the sect's main hall. The matter was urgent, and even if she returned to the sect, she couldn't be considered completely safe.

Yu Changsheng watched Yuan Menghua leave, and then, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the other disciples, he turned and sped towards Beast Taming Peak, towards Elder Wei's residence.

"You're back?"

In the courtyard, Old Wei was leisurely lying on a chair, swaying back and forth. When he saw people coming, he just smiled and said without turning his head.

"Master."

Yu Changsheng greeted him with a warm smile and a friendly gaze.

"Hmm, not bad, he has indeed advanced to the Purple Mansion realm. It seems what they said at the front line was right. Killing the Crown Prince of Qingzhou, hehe, as expected of my disciple, he has the courage I had back then."

"That's perfect, let's teach Qingzhou a lesson for its arrogance."

Old Wei's gaze fell on Yu Changsheng. He smiled and stroked his beard and hair, his expression smug, and his tone full of praise.

"Haha, it's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching; I was just lucky."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "The events that happened in the Abyss of Fallen Cliffs may not be known to ordinary disciples yet, but Yuan Menghua has naturally already informed the sect's higher-ups."

"You've got a way with words, kid." Old Wei snorted, his smile widening as he stroked his beard and looked at Yu Changsheng with a broad smile, his expression unconsciously becoming slightly dazed.

"You kid, your growth rate has exceeded my expectations. You've reached the Purple Mansion realm in such a short time and even killed the so-called Crown Prince of Qingzhou. Not bad, not bad."

Old Wei clicked his tongue in amazement and chuckled, a hint of emotion in his voice.

Yu Changsheng had been his disciple since before he even established his foundation. It could be said that every step Yu Changsheng took along the way had happened under his witness.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and now the Purple Mansion...

He had never doubted that Yu Changsheng could cultivate to the Purple Mansion realm. What surprised him was the speed of his advancement. For cultivators, a thousand or a hundred years was nothing more than a snap of the fingers...

Reaching this point in just a few years truly exceeded Mr. Wei's expectations.

But it's a good thing overall.

Old Wei thought for a moment, then chuckled, before frowning slightly and saying thoughtfully:

"However, given your outstanding performance in the Fallen Cliff Abyss, and the fact that you killed several of their princes, including the Crown Prince, the Qingzhou side must already regard you as a thorn in their side."

"It's a fight to the death; they will relentlessly pursue you. And with Wuzhou's strength, facing Qingzhou, which has the support of the Holy Land, the outcome will be predictable: they are no match..."

As Old Wei spoke, his expression grew even more serious. He paused, shook his head after a long while, and sighed softly.

"Well, fortunately you've now reached the Purple Mansion stage and have a certain ability to protect yourself. As long as it's not a Nascent Soul cultivator who makes a move easily, your safety shouldn't be a big problem."

"Now that you have also advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, there are some things that cannot be delayed any longer. We should set off now to resolve these matters as soon as possible, which will also increase your strength and give you more trump cards."

Old Wei's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Yu Changsheng and said this.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly, knowing what Elder Wei was referring to.

"What Master is talking about is the matter of completely forming a contract with Senior Xuan Turtle."

"That's right, that's exactly it. Because your cultivation level wasn't high enough, you could only form a contract with a primordial dharma body first. Now that you've reached the Purple Mansion, you have the strength to bear this contract. So hurry up, lest something unexpected happens."

Old Wei chuckled, his expression somewhat speechless.

"Alright," Yu Changsheng nodded, then thought for a moment and said, his tone becoming slightly more serious, "But before that, there are some things I need to take care of first, otherwise, I'm feeling a little worried."

"Are you talking about your family's affairs?"

Old Wei glanced at Yu Changsheng and asked, though it was a question, his tone was certain.

"That's right," Yu Changsheng replied, exhaling a deep breath and frowning as he said, "As Master said, Qingzhou might break through the defenses at any time, and given their hatred for me, I'm afraid my family will be implicated."

"Don't worry about that. When I received the news about the Fallen Cliff Abyss, I had already sent people to bring your family members to the Myriad Manifestations Sect. They should be arriving soon, so you don't need to make a special trip."

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

Elder Wei chuckled and then shook his head: "Throughout this period of turmoil, the sect itself has remained relatively stable, making it easier to take care of things."

Yu Changsheng looked up, secretly relieved, and bowed to Elder Wei with gratitude, saying happily, "Master was right to consider everything."

"I know you value loyalty and righteousness," said Old Wei. "Alright, let's get going. The contract is a big deal, and I reckon it won't be resolved in a short time. Only after we successfully form a contract with the Xuan Turtle will it be easier to proceed with the next steps."

Old Wei swallowed quietly, his eyes flashing slightly, as if with a deeper meaning.

Yu Changsheng nodded, and the two of them stopped arguing and flew towards the Cloud Mist Valley.

Before long, they entered the interior of the Cloud Mist Mountain, where in the center was a huge cloud platform.

"Do you remember last time, it was on this cloud platform that you used the power of the Xuan Turtle to kill the Sea Dragon True Monarch? I didn't expect that in such a short time, you yourself have also advanced to the ranks of Purple Mansion True Monarch."

Standing atop the cloud platform, surrounded by swirling clouds, Old Wei chuckled and quipped as his fingers flew across the void, instantly creating strange runes that were imprinted on various parts of the cloud platform.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng scratched the back of his head, his gaze filled with a hint of melancholy.

Including the three months in the Enlightenment Realm, it has only been about half a year since he killed the Sea Dragon True Monarch. At that time, he had just advanced to the Golden Core stage, but now he has already broken through to the Purple Mansion stage.

The opportunities and dangers involved are too numerous to be summarized in a single sentence.

All of this ultimately manifested as Yu Changsheng grinning, feeling the surging clouds around him, and letting out a sigh of relief.

Old Wei smiled and shook his head without saying much. He then focused on imprinting runes onto the cloud platform. In no time, when the runes filled the entire platform, the surrounding clouds suddenly converged into a vortex. As it spun with a rumbling sound, the surrounding spiritual energy surged in frantically.

The cloud platform instantly erupted with a shimmering jade-colored light, and the array's fluctuations rippled outwards, engulfing the two figures within the light. The next moment, however, they heard Elder Wei softly utter, "Open!"

In an instant, the clouds and mist condensed into a ball, from which a point of eerie light dispersed, cracking open and enveloping Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei.

After a dizzying spin, when Yu Changsheng opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed, and he had entered the core of the formation.

The sky is an endless expanse of stars, twinkling brightly against the dark night sky. Countless stars hang in the sky, telling of the silence and mystery of this place, a magnificent and exquisitely beautiful sight.

Beneath my feet lay the calm water, like a mirror reflecting the starry sky. Occasionally, a tiny ripple would spread outwards, blurring the stars in the water and distorting the light.

"here……"

Yu Changsheng murmured softly, sensing the rich spiritual energy around him, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

"This is where we first met, and it's also where my true form resides."

The next moment, a beam of light emerged from Yu Changsheng's inner world, transforming into a black tortoise. It spoke in a deep voice, its tone revealing a hint of disbelief.

"Hehe, old friend, you didn't expect this, did you? My advice back then was right. I told you that you couldn't possibly lose out by forming a contract with my disciple."

"Look, only a few years have passed, and they've already come to fulfill their promise!"

Old Wei chuckled, stroking his beard, and raised an eyebrow at the black tortoise, his words revealing his smugness.

"You were right."

The black tortoise smiled slightly and nodded, not denying it. A glimmer of clarity appeared in its turbid eyes. It turned its head to look ahead and stomped hard on the surface of the starry water with its four limbs.

"Buzzing..."

With a single step, ripples spread rapidly, sweeping across the starry sky. An invisible wave swept through, and the surrounding spiritual energy, surging wildly, gradually condensed into mist. As the mist grew thicker, a strong wind suddenly howled from an unknown place, causing the clouds and mist to churn and sweep away.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a violent roar resounded from within the mist. The sound was initially faint, but then grew immense, like a torrent of heaven and earth, vibrating wave after wave. In addition, there was a series of rustling sounds as chains were being pulled, echoing like thunderclaps exploding in the sky.

"Shh...shh...shh..."

The sound was vast, and the fog was swirling and hazy, invisible to the naked eye. One could only sense that a colossal creature was slowly moving forward, pulling chains through the fog.

Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and Wei Lao's face showed even greater anticipation. Even the Xuan Turtle was somewhat excited, raising its head and letting out a soft cry. Immediately, a peculiar cry resounded, sweeping up more ripples and twinkling more stars, echoing the enormous creature in the mist.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Suddenly, from within the mist, a pair of enormous beast eyes opened, their gazes a deep crimson, revealing a murky and ancient quality, as if they had endured countless years of trials, profound and captivating. These beast eyes were so large that they resembled two enormous lanterns, each hundreds of meters long, appearing horizontally in the night sky.

The next moment, the mist slowly dissipated, revealing more things. What appeared before Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei was the true form of the Xuan Turtle!

Its appearance is no different from the original dharma body that Yu Changsheng contracted, but its aura is more ancient and vast, unfathomable, and its size is magnified countless times, like a huge mountain that leads only to the starry sky.

Yu Changsheng's breath hitched, his expression blank. He looked up at the Xuan Turtle's true form and a sense of insignificance welled up within him. Compared to the Xuan Turtle's true form, the difference in size between the two of them was like that between a towering mountain and an ant.

The colossal Xuan Turtle beast, in its eyes, was all-encompassing. The starry sky was no longer unattainable, but rather seemed to be being dragged along by the Xuan Turtle. The stars twinkled, and thick chains, imbued with the power of laws, pierced through the stars, tightly binding the Xuan Turtle in various places, forming a dense seal.

Indeed, an array that lasts as long as the earth! (End of Chapter)
