Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Not yet half a level, which means not yet thirty. If one can kill someone at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm before the age of thirty, it seems that he is also a Saint Son level figure. This Huangfu Yuanji has met a formidable opponent."

Mo Qianxun remained silent for a long time before smiling and saying this.

His tone was somewhat complex, but mostly it conveyed a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

"At such a young age and with such cultivation and strength, if given the opportunity, it would be worthwhile to meet Yu Changsheng and see what kind of prodigy he is, capable of going head-to-head with the prodigies of the Holy Son's level."

Mo Qianxun chuckled, her tone filled with disbelief and wonder.

"Heroes have emerged from all over the world, so we must never underestimate anyone."

Upon hearing this, the butler scratched his head, clasped his hands respectfully, and said, "Young Master is no weaker than Yu Changsheng. If they were to meet, Yu Changsheng would naturally feel ashamed."

Mo Qianxun glanced at the butler, a rare hint of anger flashing in her eyes. Her tone turned colder as she said resentfully:

"Alright, alright, there's no need to awkwardly flatter me. Is it really necessary? I, Mo Qianxun, know my own limitations."

"Is it really meaningful for you to flatter me so insincerely every day?"

Upon hearing this, the butler's neck stiffened slightly, his heart trembled, and he lowered his head even further without saying a word.

Mo Qianxun asked himself, to be able to kill a Holy Land elder at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm so soon after breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, even if he were in that position, he could do it, but it would certainly not be easy.

She began to value Yu Changsheng's side even more.

"If this kind of person were in a holy land, he would be considered a holy son. Yet he's not even half a level six, and he was born into a barbarian tribe, a minor sect cultivator. How did he manage to do this?"

Mo Qianxun frowned, puzzled, and murmured to herself.

After a long while, he finally let out a deep breath and asked:

"And then what? After Yu Changsheng killed Elder Meng Xiangrui's avatar, will the Mengyao Holy Land let him go? What happened next?"

The butler frowned and explained softly:

"What followed was that Yu Changsheng was pursued all the way out of Wuzhou. No one knows exactly where he went. And there was a strange thing: the entire Wuzhou Wanxiang Sect disappeared without a trace as Yu Changsheng was chasing them."

"Some speculate that the entire sect moved away out of fear of retaliation from the Mengyao Holy Land and Qingzhou. However, the fact that they could disappear so completely overnight without leaving any trace of cause and effect is truly baffling. They don't know how they did it."

The butler asked, puzzled.

"This...could it be a spatial treasure?"

Mo Qianxun pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and made a faint guess.

"However, such a treasure is priceless. How could a small sect like the Myriad Manifestations Sect possibly possess it? It's unrealistic."

"That's unclear," the steward said honestly. "However, based on speculation and some clues, it's most likely that Yu Changsheng, along with his sect, left the Southern Region and came to our Northern Sea Region."

"Oh?"

Mo Qianxun raised an eyebrow, pursed her lips slightly, and then smiled gently.

"So, does that mean we still have a chance to meet again?"

Mo Qianxun chuckled softly, raised her eyes to look into the distance, following the boundless sea horizon, her gaze distant, as if trying to pierce through the clouds.

"I wonder if Yu Changsheng will also come to the Sea Beast Heavenly Island disciple recruitment ceremony this time."

"If someone of his stature were to actually come to the North Sea, even on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, he wouldn't be unknown. Perhaps we really could meet?"

Mo Qianxun licked her lips, smiled, and spoke softly, her voice fading away with the sea breeze.

"This trip to the Sea Beast Sky Island is going to be interesting..."

.........

.........

On the other side, the giant ship sailed far away, while on a small boat some distance behind, Yu Changsheng listened to the explanations of Shi Huishan and the other two. His brows slowly relaxed, but then he suddenly sneezed a few times.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing!"

"Who's talking about me behind my back?"

Yu Changsheng rubbed his nose and muttered to himself.

Shi Huishan and the other two looked at each other without saying a word.

"Very well, the Mo family's art of mechanical puppets. I'll have to learn a thing or two from them sometime and see what's so special about it."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, chuckled, and kept the matter to himself without giving it much thought.

In the following period of time, as they got closer to the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, the number of boats around them increased significantly. Amidst the hustle and bustle, Yu Changsheng continued to maintain a low profile and did not cause any trouble.

And so, another half month later, at noon that day, the sun shone brightly, and the ocean shimmered, with occasional waves splashing up and reflecting the sunlight, like dazzling seven-colored pearls.

The density of spiritual energy in the surrounding area suddenly increased, and exclamations of surprise came from the densely packed boats on the sea.

"Sea Beast Heavenly Island, have we arrived?"

"Is this the place? No wonder it's a sacred site!"

"Such a magnificent and imposing place, the holy land truly lives up to its name. Even the density of spiritual energy far surpasses anything found outside."

Amidst the commotion, Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao, who had stopped playing chess on the deck, slowly finished their cultivation, opened their eyes, and a glint of light flashed in them.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, the Sea Beast Heavenly Island is just ahead."

Shi Huishan appeared at the opportune moment and spoke.

"Um,"

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, stood up, and looked into the distance. Unexpectedly, he let out a long breath, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Splash!

All around, the waves surged, and countless ships surrounded the view. At the horizon, there was an endless coastline, which was an island, or rather, a continent.

Surrounding the coastline is a vast, undulating harbor coastline, its expanse unimaginable. People come and go in great numbers, and amidst the bustling noise, clouds and mist surge.

The island was shrouded in a hazy mist until Yu Changsheng and his group's boats drew closer, at which point the view gradually became clearer. As far as the eye could see, the island was extremely majestic, towering high above the coastline.

The first thing that catches the eye is the spiritual energy, so dense it's almost tangible, which transforms into colorful rays of light that swirl in the air, enveloping the island and the continent, and hanging like clouds in the sky—a truly beautiful sight.

On the island, mountain ranges stretch endlessly, with majestic immortal peaks rising high, shrouded in mist and clouds, where celestial palaces and pavilions are faintly visible. Waterfalls and springs cascade down from the mountain peaks, their splashing waters seemingly carrying the shadows of immortals. Exotic flowers and rare herbs stretch their forms in the mist, emitting strange light and fragrance, while celestial birds and beasts occasionally flit through the forests, their melodious calls echoing and their spirits shimmering.

The sea around the island was turbulent, yet auspicious light emanated from the seabed, as if conducting some kind of inspection, clearly sweeping over all the ships passing by, silently, yet causing Yu Changsheng's heart to tighten suddenly.

"call……"

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, and after a long while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and his expression returned to calm.

"We've finally arrived. The journey has been exhausting. My old bones can't take any more of this."

Old Wei stretched slowly, chuckled, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and then fixed his gaze on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, a hint of emotion involuntarily appearing on his face.

"It's really big. As expected of a holy site, it's quite impressive."

Yu Changsheng said.

Shi Huishan pursed his lips slightly and answered in a low voice:

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

"Sea Beast Heavenly Island, as a sacred place that rules over a region, has a territory that spans millions of miles of sea. Its main body is this island, which can actually be described as a continent, stretching for tens of thousands of miles."

"Ten thousand miles?"

Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless, but then he thought about it and understood. The cultivation world is vast, and the Wuzhou Wanxiang Sect alone covers an area of ​​several thousand miles. So it's not surprising that this Sea Beast Heavenly Island is a vast island.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yu is new here and may not know that, in fact, since we crossed this sea area, there have been countless invisible formations surrounding us. Everything within these formations is like a search."

"The entire Sea Beast Heavenly Island is shrouded in an astonishing array, controlling everything within it in an orderly manner, integrating offense and defense, and possessing many other ingenious uses. It also has the function of teleportation, making the connections within the island relatively close even across thousands of miles, which is convenient for management."

Shi Huishan explained patiently, his eyes shining, and chuckled.

"I see."

Yu Changsheng nodded, understanding in his heart. He wasn't surprised by this, as he had already noticed it earlier.

"However, although the Sea Beast Heavenly Island is large, what we see so far is only the outer area, which is where the outer disciples live. The real Sea Beast Heavenly Island is not on this island."

Shi Huishan thought for a moment, a hint of envy showing between his brows, and spoke softly.

"Hmm? Where is it?"

Yu Changsheng frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yes, in heaven."

Shi Huishan raised his hand and pointed towards the sky above the Sea Beast Sky Island. Yu Changsheng looked in the direction of his finger and was immediately stunned. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"This is……"

But then they saw a small black dot suddenly floating high in the center of the vast Sea Beast Heavenly Island. Due to the distance, it appeared to be only the size of an ordinary moon when viewed from the ship. Yu Changsheng had not rested at the beginning.

Only after focusing intently at this moment did they discover the clues.

Suddenly, there was another continental island suspended high above the Sea Beast Sky Island. It was much smaller than the island at the bottom. From a distance, one could only see the undulating outline of its mountains, which were shrouded in a hazy, seven-colored glow and spiritual energy, making it all blurry and indistinct.

In the blur, there is a formation of light connecting the sea beast island below. Amidst an auspicious atmosphere, the island floats high in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist. A single glance is enough to awe and move one's heart.

If the sea monster islands below were stunning enough, then the islands high in the sky could be called a fairyland.

Just as Yu Changsheng was still reeling from the shock, Shi Huishan shook his head, a complex look in his eyes. He chuckled, looked at Yu Changsheng, and said softly:

"That island high in the sky, though only a thousand miles in size, is the true Heavenly Island of Sea Beasts, the core, and the sacred land."

Shi Huishan swallowed hard, and when he looked at Yu Changsheng again, his eyes held a hint of sincerity and envy. He chuckled and said:

"The Sea Beast Island below is only where the outer disciples live. The island above is where the inner disciples live. The difference between the outer and inner disciples is like the difference between clouds and mud, just like these islands."

"The inner sect, high above, resides in the clouds, enjoys the best resources, looks down on the human world, and is arrogant and domineering."

As for the outer disciples, even if they only live on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island below, it's not bad in the eyes of outsiders. But compared to the inner disciples, they are still far inferior. In short, it can be summed up in one sentence...

Shi Huishan paused, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face, and said with a wry smile:

"The Lower Sea Beast Heaven Island was created around the Shanghai Beast Heaven Island, serves the Shanghai Beast Heaven Island, and is entirely for the purpose of the Shanghai Beast Heaven Island."

"As for the Lower Sea Beast Heaven Island, there are a small number of spots every year that allow people to advance to the Lower Sea Beast Heaven Island without considering their cultivation level or talent. This is the main reason why some people, even though they know they are not talented or strong enough, are still willing to join the Lower Sea Beast Heaven Island and become outer disciples. They want to compete for this spot so that they can enter the Lower Sea Beast Heaven Island and become inner disciples."

"In this way, one can rise to prominence and soar to great heights. However, how easy is that? To put it bluntly, this is a sacred place, and only the truly strong can step into its threshold."

After Shi Huishan finished speaking, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, but it was only fleeting.

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, gaining a clear understanding of the layout of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island.

"The Sea Beast Heavenly Island is divided into two islands, upper and lower. Only the upper Sea Beast Heavenly Island can be called a sacred land. The lower Sea Beast Heavenly Island is more of a vassal state?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a long time, then gently exhaled, nodded to Shi Huishan, and patted him on the shoulder.

"come on."

Shi Huishan was invigorated, smiled slightly, and clasped his hands in greeting to Yu Changsheng.

"With Fellow Daoist Yu's talent and strength, entering the Shanghai Beast Heaven Island is a sure thing. We have no hope of entering the inner sect. From now on, one of us will be high in the clouds and the other will be low in the mortal world. It is estimated that we will never meet again. We are still very grateful to Fellow Daoist Yu for saving us on the Flood Dragon Island. We are extremely grateful. If you need anything from us brothers, please just say the word."

Shi Huishan spoke in a deep voice, his tone sincere and his attitude genuine.

"fine."

Yu Changsheng nodded casually, not caring about it.

Seeing this, Shi Huishan's eyes darkened almost imperceptibly, but he simply smiled.

In fact, he hadn't finished explaining earlier that, besides becoming an inner disciple, one could also become an appendage of an inner disciple and ascend to Shanghai Beast Heaven Island together.

Although this doesn't qualify one as a formal disciple and doesn't grant them access to the resources of inner disciples, they are still within the environment of Shanghai Beast Heaven Island and are highly sought after. Many are willing to become vassals of inner disciples for this reason.

The group continued their journey without stopping, eventually reaching the Lower Sea Beast Heavenly Island together from the harbor. (End of Chapter)
