Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"puff."

As the sword flashed, blood gushed out, dripping into the turbulent sea like a fountain, quickly staining the water crimson. The once azure sea was now a blood-red expanse.

At the same time, a severed head fell, its expression still showing terror, eyes wide with rage. The body stiffened abruptly due to inertia but flew forward a few steps before crashing headfirst into the sea.

Wow!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. In an instant, everyone present stared in astonishment at Yu Changsheng, stunned and causing a huge uproar.

"Wh...what? What happened?!"

"Commander Qin... is dead? Am I dreaming?!"

"No, this person is the Purple Mansion True Lord!"

In an instant, the remaining pirates were terrified. Their bodies trembled, and one by one they knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly towards Yu Changsheng. Their voices trembled with immense fear, and they howled and screamed, their cries choked with sobs:

"It's all our fault for being blind and not recognizing your greatness, and for angering you, senior. But it's all Qin Kairong's fault. Please be lenient, senior. We will definitely turn over a new leaf and start anew."

"Yes, yes, we were all forced into this situation. Please, senior, investigate thoroughly. The blame lies entirely with that despicable Qin Kairong. He's utterly wicked and deserves to die. If it weren't for his instigation, we wouldn't dare to provoke you even if we had ten times the courage!"

…………

In an instant, amidst the waves, a group of pirates wept bitterly, their cries filled with emotion, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Changsheng.

For these people, although they are used to being vicious and ruthless, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death. In fact, it is precisely because of this that they cherish their lives even more.

The strength that Yu Changsheng was displaying at this moment had completely shocked them. Among the pirates, whose strongest cultivation was only Golden Core, the Purple Mansion True Monarch was an unimaginable existence that was unattainable.

They dared not utter a thought of resistance, crying and wailing, begging for mercy frantically, their hearts filled with helpless prayers.

Yu Changsheng remained indifferent, merely rubbing his fingers together slightly and narrowing his eyes.

For him, killing Qin Kairong was a task that required almost no effort.

"Senior, you mustn't let them go! These desperados have committed countless acts of arson, murder, and looting in these waters. Each one of them is utterly wicked and deserves no sympathy!"

"Don't be fooled by them, they're pirates, they all deserve to die!"

Seeing this, Han Hua, who had been watching quietly, suddenly turned red in the eyes. Looking at the corpses killed by pirates on his own ship, he suppressed his emotions and roared, looking at Yu Changsheng with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Letting them go back now would be like releasing tigers back into the mountains; these people are incapable of repentance!"

Han Hua mustered his courage, his eyes reddening, and bowed deeply to Yu Changsheng, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.

Upon hearing this, the pirates immediately looked up in fury at Han Hua, their gazes filled with a ferocity that seemed capable of tearing him to pieces. Yet, they suppressed their emotions and continued to beg for mercy from Yu Changsheng, howling in terror.

"That's not how it is, senior. I was forced into it before. Now I beg you to give me another chance."

"If we could, we would serve you as your slaves for the rest of our lives, like horses and oxen, just asking that you give us a chance to live."

A group of people wailed and cried out, but Yu Changsheng remained unmoved. He simply exhaled a breath, and the next moment, this breath swept up flames, first a single flame, then spreading outwards, burning fiercely as it landed among the pirates.

shake!!

The flames blazed brightly, and before the pirates could react, they let out a wail and, as the flames subsided, turned to ashes and vanished without a trace. All their pleas for mercy came to an abrupt end.

Only the surging waves all around, crashing against the shore, and the gradually reddening sea, silently tell the story of everything that has happened here.

"Dead...dead?"

Han Hua froze, swallowing hard. His two surviving colleagues beside him were also stunned, each taking a deep breath, their eyes filled with even greater awe as they looked at Yu Changsheng.

"Boring."

Yu Changsheng shook his head slightly, then turned to meet Han Hua's gaze. His expression was calm, his brows slightly furrowed, and his aura seemed so ordinary, as if he were an ordinary person without any cultivation.

However, having just witnessed Yu Changsheng's move, the three of them naturally could not treat him as an ordinary person. Instead, they suppressed their emotions and bowed their heads in respect.

"This junior, Han Hua, is the second-in-command of the nearby Jiaolong Island. I greet you, senior. I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace this time. If there is any way to repay this debt, I will gladly face any danger, even fire and water!"

Han Hua spoke in a deep voice, his head lowered, not daring to look at Yu Changsheng.

His fists were clenched tightly, covered in cold sweat, and his heart was in his throat.

"Han Hua, is that right? Where's the sea beast's inner core?"

Fortunately, Yu Changsheng was too lazy to argue with him. He simply glanced at Han Hua and asked calmly, without any hint of displeasure in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Han Hua's respectful expression deepened, and he dared not show the slightest sign of heartache. He patted his storage bag and took out an antique-looking box, which he then handed to Yu Changsheng.

"This is the inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion. Please keep it safe, senior. I will never forget your great kindness."

"No need for thanks, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."

Yu Changsheng took the wooden box, opened it, glanced at it, and after confirming that it contained the inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion, a smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly.

The inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion can probably only be discovered by Longyan. It is entirely blue, like the sea, with shimmering waves that ripple in layers, its brilliance dazzling and captivating.

Abundant spiritual energy naturally surrounded the area, transforming into spiritual mist. Dense water-attribute fluctuations rippled outwards, and the mere flow of this energy caused the surrounding seawater to surge.

The inner core of this Tenghai Dragon Lion is only at the fourth level of cultivation. For Yu Changsheng now, it is not difficult to kill and obtain the inner core of an ordinary fourth-level spirit beast.

However, the Tenghai Dragon Lion is different. This kind of spirit beast is relatively rare, and its bloodline is also quite rare. It has a natural affinity for the ocean that far exceeds that of ordinary spirit beasts.

Furthermore, its bloodline is gentle and moderate, not domineering. For other spirit beasts, the inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion is a very good tonic, and there is no need to worry too much about not being able to digest and absorb it, or about it being incompatible with their own nature.

To some extent, the Tenghai Dragon Lion is a walking, fragrant beast compared to other mythical creatures.

Normally, if a spirit beast at the early stage of the fourth rank can swallow a core of a Tenghai Dragon Lion of the same rank that gathers all its cultivation, it doesn't need to worry about whether there are conflicting attributes or auras. It can absorb the core almost perfectly and break through its cultivation level from the early stage of the fourth rank to the middle or even late stage.

Because of the unique nature of this sea beast, the number of Tenghai Longshi is not large in the entire sea area, and they often become food for other sea beasts before humans can hunt them.

Due to the rarity and uniqueness of the Tenghai Dragon Lion, its value has naturally increased. The inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion that Han Hua is currently offering, although it is only at the fourth level, is probably no less valuable than the inner core of an ordinary fifth-level spirit beast.

Fifth-tier spirit beasts are comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. Even though there are quite a few fifth-tier spirit beasts in the vast ocean, their value is still immeasurable.

"No wonder this group of pirates went crazy for it; anyone would be tempted by such a treasure. Especially these pirates who are known for their professionalism and insatiable greed..."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, then smiled faintly.

"However, it's good that I'm here to punish them; they deserve it."

As Yu Changsheng spoke, he did not hesitate. With a thought, he turned to look at the Xuan Turtle on his spirit boat, which was calmly looking at him from Wei Lao's shoulder.

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, then flicked his finger, sending the sea beast's inner core flying in a perfect parabola. The Xuan Turtle swallowed it whole, and in an instant, a vast blue light enveloped the Xuan Turtle. Waves crashed around it, and rich aquatic life and spiritual energy converged towards the Xuan Turtle, rapidly replenishing its condition.

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

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience."

The Xuan Turtle let out a muffled groan, the sound resonating in Yu Changsheng's mind. It carried a faint smile, and its slightly weak aura slowly rose as it was nourished by the inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion.

Several months have passed since the Xuan Turtle began carrying the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect. Although it has been supported by the fifth-grade pill, the Reincarnation Pill, such a long period of time is still a considerable burden for the Xuan Turtle.

If it weren't for the fact that they had already reached the sea, an environment that allowed the Xuan Turtle to constantly absorb the power of heaven and earth and the power of the seawater to restore its condition and barely maintain the operation of its internal world, it would have given up long ago.

Even so, the Xuan Turtle's condition was not good. Moreover, because it carried the Myriad Manifestations Sect, its cultivation was suppressed and could not be exerted. However, now, the replenishment of the Tenghai Dragon Lion's inner core has made its originally dormant cultivation more active.

"Waaaaah!!"

The black tortoise sang, its voice as clear as flowing water, its indescribable aura spreading outwards. The echoes instantly calmed the turbulent sea, and a surge of rich water vapor and spiritual energy rushed in.

A late-stage fourth-order aura faintly rose from the center of the Xuan Turtle. In an instant, the world became still, and the Xuan Turtle opened its mouth and inhaled, causing countless water columns to rise from the surrounding sea surface, which were then swirling and drawn into the Xuan Turtle's body.

Also being absorbed was the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This scene, witnessed by Han Hua, left him speechless and his heart trembled.

"A fourth-tier spirit beast... Moreover, its aura seems to be much more powerful and vast than that of an ordinary fourth-tier spirit beast."

"And to possess such a spirit beast, its master must at least be a Purple Mansion True Monarch... In other words, this old man is also a Purple Mansion True Monarch, what is all this...?"

Han Hua swallowed hard, glancing silently at Elder Wei, who lay leisurely in a chair on the spirit boat. Startled, he lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the Xuan Turtle. Some of his ulterior motives vanished.

In his view, since the spirit beast was so close to Elder Wei, he naturally assumed that it was Elder Wei's tamed beast.

[Using one inner core of a fourth-tier spirit beast, the Teng Hailong Lion, successfully fed to the Xuan Turtle. The Xuan Turtle's cultivation level has increased, its essence has been nourished, and 500000 essence points have been gained!]

The system notification arrived on time. Yu Changsheng smiled slightly. After a while, the spiritual energy dissipated, and the Xuan Turtle's aura receded again. A flash of blue light returned, and the Xuan Turtle exhaled a long breath of white air before lazily lying on Old Wei's shoulder again, letting out a low growl.

His condition has improved quite a bit.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, stretched, and his gaze fell on Han Hua.

Han Hua was taken aback, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly clasped his hands respectfully and said:

"Congratulations on your improvement in beast taming, senior."

"Yes, we have to thank this inner core of the Teng Hailong Lion. It's a good thing."

Yu Changsheng licked his lips and grinned, saying nothing more. He then changed the subject, quietly looking at Han Hua, glancing meaningfully at the storage pouch at Han Hua's waist, a faint smile playing on his lips, without saying another word.

"this……"

Han Hua felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Yu Changsheng, a cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He gritted his teeth, his expression becoming even more respectful. He gave a signal to his two companions beside him, who immediately understood and took out their respective storage bags, respectfully handing them to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng nodded, his expression softening slightly. Without even looking inside to see what was inside, he took it, glanced meaningfully at Han Hua, and said calmly:

"Alright, the crisis is over, we're even now. Next time, take back your little schemes, or I won't be so easy to talk to you next time."

After saying that, Yu Changsheng turned and left. He did not intend to pursue Han Hua any further, and he was well aware of Han Hua's previous ulterior motives.

When the other party saw him passing by, he deliberately revealed the inner core of the Tenghai Dragon Lion and his identity as the Jiaolong Island to him when he had nowhere else to go. Wasn't his purpose to drag him into the mess and force Qin Kairong to take action against him in order to prevent the information from leaking out?

Although Qin Kairong posed no threat to him, and he could understand Han Hua's behavior, Yu Changsheng was still displeased.

That's why, after taking the sea beast's inner core, they also asked for their storage bags.

This can be considered a karmic culmination.

Han Wha himself was well aware of this, which is why he was extremely nervous.

"call……"

Watching Yu Changsheng's retreating figure, Han Hua let out a sharp breath, his tense mind suddenly relaxing. The next moment, however, he was stunned, a conflicted look appearing on his face.

Ahead, a figure came riding the waves. Wherever he passed, the waves parted automatically to reveal a path. Amidst the howling sea breeze, the figure sped away like the wind.

With flowing white hair, a youthful face despite his white hair, and rosy skin, he wore a white robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon baring its fangs and claws, extremely ferocious and lifelike, emanating wisps of malevolent energy. The old man's expression was solemn as he rode the wind, his late-stage Purple Mansion realm aura erupting without concealment, its power rippled in all directions. (End of Chapter)
