Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Starfall Secret Realm..."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, then looked at Elder Wei with a puzzled expression.

Old Wei nodded slightly and said, "I don't know the specifics either. I only know that this Starfall Secret Realm is mysterious and unpredictable. It is said to have been formed by the fall of an ancient star, and it contains the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time."

"However, only the Holy Land has the right to enter this secret realm. Now that you have reached the Purple Mansion stage, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Nascent Soul stage. If you can enter this secret realm, it will benefit you immensely."

"Is that so..."

Yu Changsheng lowered his head in thought and nodded gently.

"I'll have to find out more about the specifics," Elder Wei shook his head and exhaled a breath of stale air. "But one thing is certain: even in the Holy Land, the number of people allowed to enter the Starfall Secret Realm is definitely not large."

"Only the most outstanding disciples are qualified to enter. Therefore, as you said, it might be appropriate to be more high-profile. Only by demonstrating your potential and strength and catching the eye of some higher-ups on Sea Beast Heavenly Island, then you might have a chance to get this spot."

Yu Changsheng remained silent for a long while before nodding and saying, "Let's take it one step at a time. Everything is still uncertain and undecided. However, for now, we can go and retrieve that Sacred Crystal."

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly.

"OK."

Old Wei was surprised, but he didn't say anything. After making up his mind, he got up with Yu Changsheng and walked into the mining area.

As the two continued their journey, after passing through a huge mine in the center of the island, a rich spiritual energy permeated the air.

"Elder Wei, Elder Yu."

Inside the mine, cultivators were busy mining spirit ore. When they saw Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei enter, they were taken aback for a moment, and then greeted them respectfully.

Looking at Yu Changsheng, besides awe, there was even more gratitude in his eyes.

After Liu Yun and the others were killed by Yu Changsheng, he took their storage bags and distributed all their property to the miners. This not only made up for the wages that Liu Yun had secretly withheld over the years, but also gave them a considerable amount more.

On the other hand, Yu Changsheng also adjusted the working hours and mining targets to make them more reasonable, and lowered the requirements for these miners, making their work easier.

As a result, Yu Changsheng was already quite famous among the miners, and now he is deeply respected by them.

The group of miners were surprised by the arrival of the two men, but they didn't ask any questions. They simply greeted them and then continued with their work.

After nodding slightly to these people, Yu Changsheng led Elder Wei and continued walking down into the mine.

The entire mine was very spacious, with a diameter of tens of meters. Although outside light could not enter, it was not completely dark inside. At intervals, there were some glowing beads embedded in the surrounding walls. In addition, some of the remaining spirit ore inside also emitted a faint light.

As they continued to venture deeper, and as the mine had completely sunk to the bottom, and the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly dense, Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei reached the end and came to a smooth stone wall.

"The Saintly Essence was planted here."

Yu Changsheng paused, exhaled softly, and looked at the stone wall in front of him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Old Wei frowned slightly and nodded silently.

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Changsheng unleashed a vast surge of divine sense, penetrating the spirit mine and delving deeper into it. Within the mine were numerous undeveloped spirit ore deposits, which posed a certain obstacle to his divine sense. Fortunately, Yu Changsheng's divine soul was powerful enough to ignore these obstacles.

The spirit ore was completely empty. Under Yu Changsheng's divine sense, he could not sense anything. However, Yu Changsheng's purpose was not these things. Instead, he nodded slightly, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then squinted his eyes to carefully sense the flow of spiritual energy within the spirit ore.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As the world fell silent, and Yu Changsheng devoted all his energy to probing his soul, traces of spiritual energy quietly emerged and were outlined in his mind. The flow of spiritual energy around him was like thousands of rivers, eventually converging at a certain point.

There, all was emptiness. Yu Changsheng's divine soul probed and found nothing, yet it was like an invisible black hole, silently devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. All the spiritual energy quietly disappeared there.

The entire process was relatively silent, and unless one had a very keen sense of divine perception like Yu Changsheng, it would be difficult to detect.

"In recent years, the quality of spirit stones produced on Spirit Ore Island has declined, and it seems that this is the reason. Saint Liu Essence, it is indeed here. It looks like it is fully mature."

A glint flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes. He murmured softly, then smiled slightly. His divine sense surged, and with a specific thought, he quickly sketched out the outline.

The power of the soul was imprinted within, transforming into an ingenious rune that covered the black hole that was devouring spiritual energy.

"Buzzing..."

The next instant, the black hole trembled, and as the soul imprint runes covered it, it suddenly emitted a tiny bit of seven-colored light, slowly emerging from the void, like a rainbow, dazzling and splendid. First a tiny point, then it quickly intensified, like a small light bulb illuminating a region.

At the center of the light was a seven-colored seed shaped like a water droplet, about the size of a finger, which was the essence of Saint Liu.

"If we hadn't obtained this method of soul outlining from Liu Yun's memories, even if we knew there was sacred essence here, it would indeed have been difficult to draw it out."

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, thinking to himself, and after sensing the Holy Essence with his divine sense to confirm that there was no danger, he carefully used his divine soul power to guide the Holy Essence over.

"Whoosh..."

When the seven-colored light floated in front of Yu Changsheng, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, beaming with joy, and said, "Holy Crystal Essence, obtained."

"Indeed," Elder Wei nodded in admiration, "It is indeed a treasure. Its spiritual light shines brightly. Just by sensing it, the immense spiritual energy contained within could easily allow a third-tier beast to break through to the fourth tier."

"It has been nurtured in this spirit mine for who knows how long, and absorbed countless essences of spirit ore. It is well-deserved that it has fallen into your hands."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. He nodded, put away the Sacred Crystal, and said, "Let's go up first. We'll attract this Sacred Crystal in a bit. Otherwise, if it stays away from the spirit mine for too long, its spiritual energy will continuously dissipate, and its effectiveness will be affected."

"Hmm," Old Wei nodded slightly in agreement, "Alright, go up first, I'll protect you."

Without further ado, the two cleaned up some traces at the scene and left the mine, returning to their loft residence.

"Alright, now you can attract it. This Sacred Crystal Essence is a good thing. Although it has considerable uses for cultivators, it is a true treasure for spirit beasts, where it can exert its maximum effect."

Old Wei chuckled, then looked at Yu Changsheng and asked curiously:

"Which spirit beast do you intend to give this Sacred Essence to?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Give it to Zi Linghuang. He is now both a beast tamer and a sword spirit, a combination of ideology and physical form. It is rare to find a suitable natural treasure for him."

"Furthermore, it's been so long, it's time for Emperor Ziling to improve himself. Besides that, I have another idea..."

Yu Changsheng paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "My Purple Spirit Emperor Sword is already a prototype of a divine artifact, a peak spiritual treasure. One more step and it will become a divine artifact. I want to try to use the Holy Crystal Essence to see if I can advance my natal magic weapon, the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, to a divine artifact."

"If successful, it will become another major trump card for me. Even if someone is at the Nascent Soul stage, they will not be without a fighting chance."

The reason why Saintly Essence is so precious is that it is attribute-free and exceptionally pure, and it has a tremendous enhancing effect on any spirit beast.

It can enhance cultivation, purify bloodline, and temper the body and soul, all with remarkable effects, making it extremely attractive to any spirit beast.

As for the Purple Child, now serving as the sword spirit of the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, it is both a tamed beast and Yu Changsheng's natal magic weapon. In essence, it is a spiritual being, and even more so, a rare spirit beast without elemental attributes.

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

Natural treasures that can affect spirits are rare, and they are also without attributes. All things considered, they are the most suitable for Zi Xiaohai. Therefore, Yu Changsheng already had a plan for where the Holy Crystal would go.

Besides these, Yu Changsheng had other thoughts on his mind.

Yu Changsheng was somewhat excited and spoke with great confidence. Upon seeing this, Elder Wei was taken aback, smiled and shook his head. He looked at Yu Changsheng but did not say anything more, only nodding slightly.

After saying that, Yu Changsheng exhaled a deep breath of turbid air, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword appeared. On the crystal-clear purple jade sword body, the figure of the purple child slowly emerged.

"Brother Changsheng."

The little purple child still looked the same, with a tender face. Looking at Yu Changsheng, he called out in a clear, crisp voice.

Yu Changsheng smiled broadly and couldn't help but pinch the purple child's cheek, saying with emotion, "You've had a hard time following me these past few days, but it's been quite interesting, hasn't it?"

"Yes," the little purple child pouted and chuckled, "It's much more fun outside. That purple bamboo forest is so boring. Here, you can see all kinds of scenery, and you can feel the sword intent every moment. Luckily, Brother Changsheng brought me out back then."

After the purple child finished speaking, he blinked his eyes, which shone like clear stars.

Yu Changsheng was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled, handed the Sacred Essence to the purple child, nodded gently, and said softly:

"This will be useful to you. Just eat it and then refine it."

His tone was gentle, as if he were talking to a child.

In fact, according to the age of spirit beasts, Zi Xiaohai is a child. Although his intelligence has been developed, he is the most innocent among Yu Changsheng's group of spirit beasts, like a child, a blank sheet of paper.

That's why she was able to be tricked by Yu Changsheng into getting the contract.

Yu Changsheng has always been very patient with children, especially such a cute little child.

The little purple child held the Holy Essence in his small hand, then curiously played with it for a while. Meeting Yu Changsheng's eager gaze, he immediately giggled. The next moment, he nodded, opened his small mouth slightly, and swallowed the Holy Essence into his stomach in one gulp.

"Buzzing..."

As the Holy Essence entered his stomach, it was like a seven-colored stream of light with a dazzling trail, flowing from the purple child's mouth all the way down into his small belly, radiating seven-colored light through his purple skin.

"Uh-huh?"

The purple child blinked, let out two muffled groans in a tender voice, clenched his little fists, and stared blankly as seven-colored light emanated from his palm, slowly spreading throughout his entire body, limbs, bones, and internal organs...

Before long, his entire being resembled a miniature seven-colored sun, radiating a sacred and dazzling seven-colored brilliance. The spiritual energy and power of heaven and earth surged into him, and the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, which was associated with the Purple Child, was also slowly imbued with a layer of seven-colored light.

Using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as its energy source and the power of heaven and earth as its furnace, the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword was continuously forged and tempered. In an instant, an astonishing sword intent was faintly emitted, and the sword energy seemed to echo.

[Consuming one piece of Sacred Crystal Essence, a rare spiritual treasure, successfully fed to the natal magic weapon (Beast Tamer) Purple Spirit Emperor. Purple Spirit Emperor's physique has been greatly enhanced, its bloodline purified, its potential boosted, and its soul strengthened. Its cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank! The Purple Spirit Emperor Sword has been tempered by heaven and earth, and its quality has been improved...]

[Reward: 1000000 Essence Points!]

The voice of the cheat system rang out in his mind as expected. Instantly, Yu Changsheng's smile became even brighter, and he was in a great mood, staring intently at the purple child.

As the seven-colored light completely enveloped the purple child, in the hazy light, the purple child's aura suddenly rose. Soon, he broke through from the early stage of the fourth rank to the middle stage. It did not stop there, but only stopped when he reached the late stage and even the peak.

And the effects of Saint Liu Jing were gradually fully utilized and developed in this process.

"Ah~"

The little purple child couldn't help but let out a soft moan, his tone full of enjoyment, waving his tiny arms and giggling.

At the same time that Zi Xiaohai broke through, the Zi Ling Huang Sword also trembled slightly. Its sword intent resonated, and the power of heaven and earth tempered it. On the jade-like sword body, a seven-colored pattern slowly appeared, running through the sword body, but eventually it slowly disappeared.

The sword trembled, and its aura rose slightly, but eventually dissipated slowly. The overall quality of the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword also improved, but it seemed to have reached its limit and could not be improved any further.

"Still a peak-level spiritual treasure? Could it have failed to break through its limitations?"

Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue, saying with some regret. (End of Chapter)
