Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"The North Sea? That's a nice place, not bad."

Xuan Gui nodded as he listened to what Elder Wei said, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"But it's been a long time since I've been to the North Sea. If you go to the North Sea, I stayed there for a long time. There are some opportunities there, and if they still exist, they will be of great help to you."

The black tortoise sighed, exhaling a long breath of white air, a hint of a smile appearing in its weathered eyes.

"I am also more suited to the North Sea. The environment there can help me recover from my injuries more quickly, and some of the things there are very helpful to me."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely unexpected. The Xuan Turtle was a water-attribute spirit beast, so it was naturally better suited to a place like the North Sea than the South Sea.

Old Master Wei smiled slightly and said, "Years ago, when I traveled across the continent, I made many old friends, including some people of considerable status in the North Sea, who held positions on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island in the North Sea."

Old Wei paused, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"There are many holy lands in the North Sea, and the Sea Beast Heavenly Island is one of them. Its strength is comparable to that of the Mengyao Holy Land. With its protection, and separated by thousands of mountains and seas, it is a great place to be protected."

Even if the Holy Land of Mengyao possesses extraordinary abilities, it would be absolutely forbidden for them to cross a region to interfere with and pursue us, thus ensuring our safety throughout the myriad realms.

"Sea Beast Sky Island?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat. He had never heard of this name before, but since Teacher Wei mentioned it as one of the holy lands, it was certainly not to be underestimated.

In holy lands, there are no weaklings. Any holy land possesses the strength to easily unify the five continents of the Southern Region and the Eastern Wilderness.

The main reason why Wanxiang was in such a sorry state this time was because the Mengyao Holy Land's attack was something they were currently unable to defeat.

The fact that Sea Beast Heavenly Island could serve as a sacred place naturally indicates its strength. It was quite surprising to Yu Changsheng that Wei Lao's friend could hold a position within the sacred place.

"Yes," Old Wei chuckled, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Yu Changsheng and said, "Now, with your talent and strength, Wuzhou is no longer conducive to your development."

My old friend holds a position in the Holy Land. Through our relationship, and with his recommendation, it shouldn't be difficult for you, with your strength and talent, to enter the Holy Land for further study. That's the stage you should be on; only there can you grow at a faster pace and not waste your talent.”

"Uh..." Yu Changsheng scratched his head, somewhat surprised.

"Sea Beast Heavenly Island is also one of the few holy lands on the continent famous for its beast taming, which is very suitable for your development. Moving the sect there is also the result of my careful consideration."

Old Wei said in a deep voice, "The matter of the sect is of great importance. After weighing the options several times, there are not many left. The North Sea is the best solution in his opinion, and a large part of the reason for this is because of Yu Changsheng."

As he said, in his opinion, with Yu Changsheng's talent and strength, he could only truly unleash his potential by going to the Holy Land.

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Master is so thoughtful. I see. In that case, the North Sea is indeed the most suitable place."

As the two talked, they kept walking and had already covered a hundred miles. They transformed into two long rainbows and sped towards Lanzhou. The Xuan Turtle was carried on Yu Changsheng's shoulder, slumped over and resting, silently absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even with the support of the fifth-grade pill Reincarnation Pill, the Xuan Turtle still finds it a tremendous burden to carry an entire territory of 800 miles, including all its mountains, rivers, plants, trees, and countless living beings.

Admittedly, as Yu Changsheng's strongest beast, the Xuan Turtle's special nature is beyond doubt. Having just broken the seal and merged with its original Dharma body, even though it was still seriously injured, it already possessed the cultivation level of the late world stage. Its combat power was comparable to that of the peak of the Purple Mansion stage, which is why it could confidently say that no one below the Nascent Soul stage could move it.

Even so, this kind of isolated territory, which can contain the universe within one realm, is something that even fifth-tier spirit beasts, let alone fourth-tier spirit beasts, can hardly do. This is not only due to the excessive weight of the eight hundred-mile territory, but also because it is closely related to the rejection by the laws of heaven and earth.

Having achieved such a level of cultivation in the later stages of Tian Guiren and Shijie, they had reached the limit of their natural abilities and had no energy left to do anything else.

Heaven and earth possess a spirit. Although the Heavenly Dao itself has not yet developed sentience, it has its own protective mechanisms. Out of instinct, to prevent any loss of the origin of heaven and earth, it will inflict divine punishment and backlash if there is any large-scale separation of heaven and earth.

After all, with the abilities of some powerful cultivators, moving mountains and shaking seas is entirely within their grasp. If they were to empty the heavens and earth to fill their own inner world, the mountains and rivers would disappear from their source, and this world would become even more fragile.

Therefore, there will be cause and effect for such large-scale territorial changes. The fact that the Xuan Turtle separated the 800-mile Wanxiang Sect from its original location and moved it to the Five Continents is not a large amount compared to the vast territory of the Five Continents, and it is not enough to trigger the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. However, it will definitely receive some rejection.

After all, unlike the Qianzong sect, the Wanxiang sect's move was a complete withdrawal, including the removal of all the mountains, rivers, vegetation, and spiritual veins, leaving nothing behind. In other words, it was equivalent to emptying a portion of Wuzhou's fortune.

Such behavior is truly a taboo that violates the laws of heaven and earth.

Only a black tortoise of extremely high status can bear it.

.........

.........

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these ten days, the Five Continents were thrown into turmoil. With the fall of the two major defensive lines, the Qingzhou army marched straight in, swiftly and decisively seizing vast territories. Countless forces across the Five Continents were in dire need of help; some surrendered, others defected, or were killed and annihilated.

In an instant, turmoil broke out, blood was shed in Wuzhou, and the counterattack from the three sects was launched again. The Purple Mansions emerged one after another, and the Nascent Souls fought in multiple battles. In an instant, the world was turned upside down and a great shock was felt. As expected, with the intervention of the Mengyao Holy Land, the three sects were defeated.

Many Purple Mansion cultivators perished, and even some Nascent Soul cultivators shed blood. The banners of Qingzhou continued to spread throughout Wuzhou, causing panic among all sides. The Six Sects fell silent. With the Crimson Fire Sect being the first among the Three Gates and Six Sects to surrender, it marked the complete end of Wuzhou's power.

Amidst the uproar, it was only later that everyone realized that the Myriad Manifestations Sect, one of the Three Sects and Six Schools, had completely vanished overnight, its 800-mile territory disappearing, leaving only a sinkhole as a remnant.

In an instant, Wuzhou was shocked and everyone was astonished. The Qingzhou army was furious and even made adjustments, changing its original strategic direction and mobilizing most of its forces to conduct a carpet search for clues about the Wanxiang Sect. However, the result was astonishing and unbelievable. There was no news at all, as if the entire Wanxiang Sect had evaporated from the world without a trace.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Huangfu Hongxuan of Qingzhou even stepped forward and issued a bounty on the Wanxiang Sect, especially on Yu Changsheng, with the reward being an opportunity for someone to advance from the Purple Mansion to the Divine Transformation Realm.

In an instant, the entire state was shaken. Not only Qingzhou and Wuzhou, but even neighboring Linzhou and Lanzhou... Even amidst the chaos of war and uncertainty, they were all shocked, and many eyes turned to them, joining the bounty hunters and developing a strong curiosity about Yu Changsheng.

As Yu Changsheng's deeds were gradually revealed, the Five Continents were shocked. The name Yu Changsheng entered the sight of cultivators across the Five Continents, and his reputation as the number one genius of the Five Continents was gradually solidified.

Meanwhile, arrests from cultivators from all sides came in a frenzy. Auras swept across the land, and divine senses permeated the sky. Even some cultivators of the Purple Mansion level who lived far away from the secular world and deep in the mountains and forests were alarmed. Driven by greed and desire, they searched for Yu Changsheng and the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

After all, this is a chance for a walking Purple Mansion to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, and such a reward is bound to cause a stir.

A Nascent Soul cultivator is a rare and exceptional figure across the entire Eastern Wilderness Five Continents, truly representing the highest level.

The war between Qingzhou and Wuzhou gradually came to an end with the disappearance of the Wanxiang Sect.

The Xuan Yin Sect, Zi Hong Sect, and Qi Xing Sect suffered heavy losses and ultimately chose to withdraw from the world. Each of their Nascent Soul Ancestors emerged to protect their respective sects.

The Qingzhou army, constrained by the power of the Nascent Soul cultivators and with other considerations, did not intend to fight to the death in the short term, nor did they pursue the matter to the bitter end. Instead, they simply took over the territories that the three sects originally ruled.

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

Of the six sects, the Myriad Manifestations Sect withdrew and its whereabouts are unknown. The Crimson Fire Sect and the Overlord Sect submitted. The remaining sects suffered losses, with disciples dying or being injured. Ultimately, the sects disintegrated and ceased to exist.

With the fall of the Three Gates and Six Sects, Wuzhou underwent a complete upheaval and utter defeat! The power structure was completely reshuffled.

And so, a month later.

In the far north of Wuzhou, amidst a vast desert and Gobi, lies the northernmost edge of Wuzhou, bordering Lanzhou.

Under the blazing sun and amidst rolling sandstorms, jagged rocks stand tall on the boundless desert, resembling strangely shaped soldiers, adding a unique touch to the monotonous yellow landscape.

On the desert, due to the high temperature, the heat waves rolled and distorted the light. The temperature was unbearably hot. Let alone ordinary people, they would probably turn into dried-up human skin from dehydration in no time. Even cultivators, those whose cultivation has not reached the Foundation Establishment stage, would face a life-threatening crisis in the desert for a long time.

On this boundless expanse of yellow sand, the wind blows, carrying waves of heat, as two figures race across the desert.

One of them had white hair and the appearance of an old man, but he had a youthful face, rosy complexion, and steady breathing. His cultivation level seemed to be at the Golden Core stage.

The other person was a young boy who followed behind the old man. His face was youthful, and he looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. Judging from his eyebrows, he was quite handsome, but he was still immature. As for his cultivation level, he appeared to be at the peak of Qi Refining.

Besides these, there was a small turtle with a completely blue shell adorned with white and red stripes. It stretched out its limbs and perched on the boy's shoulder, its tongue lolling out. Wisps of steam rose from its body, and its eyes, seemingly affected by the intense heat, revealed a hint of weariness and numbness.

These two were none other than Old Wei and Yu Changsheng in disguise. The old man was naturally Old Wei, and the young man was Yu Changsheng. Judging from their aura and appearance, the two were completely different from their original appearances, as if they were two different people.

In fact, on the third day after the two left the original Wanxiang Sect's base, with the release of Huangpu Hongxuan's bounty order, the entire Wuzhou was almost sealed off, and countless eyes frantically searched for Yu Changsheng's traces.

Under these circumstances, Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng had no choice but to proceed with great difficulty. Their journey was fraught with danger and their pace slowed down considerably after several setbacks. Finally, a month later, they arrived at Yunbo Desert, the northernmost border of Wuzhou, on the edge of Lanzhou.

"Once we cross the Yunbo Desert, we will be completely outside the territory of Wuzhou and have entered the territory of Lanzhou."

On the desert, Elder Wei walked ahead, maintaining the speed expected of a Golden Core cultivator, carrying Yu Changsheng as they sped across the desert. His voice carried a hint of weariness as he spoke.

Yu Changsheng nodded, a pallor appearing on his youthful face, and beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. He pursed his lips, grabbed Old Wei's sleeve, and followed closely behind.

"Wuzhou is in turmoil and the world has changed. I'm afraid even the other three states won't be stable for long. Once Qingzhou has calmed down and Wuzhou is completely stabilized, the next target will be the other three states."

Old Wei sighed, and his voice was deliberately changed, completely different from his original tone.

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips, his voice revealing the immaturity of someone who was agreeing with his age, and said:

"Master is really something. I told you not to come to Wuzhou. Couldn't we just stay in the sect? He insisted on bringing me to Wuzhou to broaden my horizons and gain experience. Now look what's happened. Wuzhou has fallen and is completely sealed off, making our journey back quite troublesome."

"What do you know? These things are beneficial to your path and can be considered a special experience. When you look back on them in the future, you will understand your teacher's good intentions."

The white-haired old man glared, snorted coldly, and stroked his beard as he muttered something.

"Tch, I think it's just that you, Master, wanted to travel around and had fun, but felt lonely, so you just made up an excuse to drag me along."

The boy muttered something, his tone revealing a hint of resentment, but his expression showed that he was very affectionate with his master.

"You little brat..."

"Cultivation is not that simple. Moreover, your progress is too fast, and your foundation is unstable. Only by traveling more will you gain insights."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man blew hard, making his beard bristle. He glared, raised his right hand, and was about to give the boy a hard slap on the shoulder when he suddenly froze, turned around, clasped his hands, and bowed forward.

"I wonder what brings you here, senior? I am Jiang Shiqiu of the Lianshui Sect in Lanzhou, paying my respects to you, senior." (End of Chapter)
