Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The merchant threw the treasure in his hand directly at Yu Changsheng, but Yu Changsheng quickly dodged it.

However, after the fist-shaped treasure landed, it exploded, releasing a large amount of black energy that quickly spread to many places.

And within that black mist, a large, blood-red hand gradually materialized.

"My lord, let this man be dedicated to you today."

Upon seeing the blood-stained hand, the two merchants knelt on the ground, muttering incantations.

Yu Changsheng sensed something was wrong; this giant hand didn't look like anything good. Moreover, the way those two people looked seemed to be worshipping this giant hand.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng quickly released the Crimson Hell Dragon.

A burst of dragon breath was sprayed directly onto that blood-stained hand.

Immediately, a foul-smelling, acrid smoke filled the surrounding area, which was extremely unpleasant to smell.

The flames subsided, and the giant hand had turned pitch black, yet it continued to move.

"Continue the attack!"

Yu Changsheng couldn't figure out what the giant hand was, so he didn't dare to attack it easily and continued to let the Crimson Hell Dragon launch its attack.

Under the continuous scorching of the flames, the large hand was constantly attacked by the flames, becoming even blacker.

Before long, it had turned into a pile of charred remains, looking completely lifeless.

Yu Changsheng unleashed another sword intent, and the giant hand immediately split in two, eventually turning into a pile of dark fragments.

The two merchants' expressions changed drastically. They never expected that their master would be killed by Yu Changsheng so easily.

"How could this be? How could this happen?"

The two men turned ashen-faced and staggered backward, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Yu Changsheng couldn't understand what the two of them were doing either.

They thought that the large hand was very powerful, but it turned out to be quite ordinary. Yu Changsheng killed him without any resistance.

Just as Yu Changsheng was about to deal with the two men, they realized things were going wrong and actually ran away.

But Yu Changsheng was not about to let the two go so easily, so he released the Colorful Star Deer.

Countless vines grew rapidly, directly entangling the two of them.

They were quickly wrapped into two rice dumplings by the vines of the colorful star deer.

Yu Changsheng landed in front of the two people, looked at their terrified expressions, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh, I thought you two had some tricks up your sleeve? Turns out it's all just a bunch of charades?"

"You really think you can treat battles like a marketplace scam?"

The vendor immediately begged for mercy, saying, "Sir, sir, I was wrong, please let me go."

"We two scoundrels were blind and didn't recognize Tan Shan, and disturbed you, sir."

"Please, sir, just ignore us and let us go!"

"Killing both of us would be an insult to your hands, sir."

The vendor's tearful pleas for mercy made Yu Changsheng frown.

The more arrogant they were in the marketplace, the more pathetic they became now.

"Hmph! I didn't want to get involved with you in the first place, but weren't you the ones who insisted on causing me trouble?"

The vendor immediately said, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Just tell us how you want to compensate us, we'll accept our loss."

"We only beg you, sir, to let us go."

Yu Changsheng chuckled lightly, "You two are quite sensible."

"Tell me, why do you two resort to this kind of staged accident scam?"

The vendor said helplessly, "Sir, you don't know this, but people like us are the majority here."

"You may not know this if you are new to this place."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback and immediately asked, "Oh? How did you know I came from here?"

"Alas, we've been in this secret realm for many years after all. Whether someone is a newcomer or a veteran, they can naturally be recognized at a glance. In order to survive in this sacred secret realm, we certainly can't use ordinary methods."

Yu Changsheng frowned and said, "You've been here for so many years? Don't you plan to leave the secret realm?"

The vendor shook his head: "Heh, it's not that easy to leave this place."

"Many of the people in that camp have been here for nearly twenty years."

"I'm only a newcomer here, but even so, I've been here for over five years."

Yu Changsheng finally understood.

"Is it possible that one can only enter this sacred, secret realm but never leave?"

The merchant nodded and said, "At least apart from the members of the Dasheng clan, who might leave this place, I've hardly seen anyone else leave."

"If you want to leave this sacred and secret realm, you either have to find the exit yourself, or you have to wait until all the resources in this sacred and secret realm are depleted."

"I never imagined the Dasheng clan would be so outrageous. Has no one ever resisted?"

The merchant shook his head. "The Dasheng clan is much stronger than you think, and there's nothing wrong with this place."

"There are abundant resources for people to gather, and most of the people here hope to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before they can leave."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then asked, "Has anyone here broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Yes! However, all the cultivators who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage here were sent to the ruins."

"So, while the rules of this secret realm prevent cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage from entering, they do allow people to break through their limits within it?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, the vendor shook his head again.

"Now that you mention it, I'm not so sure either. Because I've never seen a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the outside world."

"It's possible that only in secret realms could a Nascent Soul stage cultivator appear; I can't guarantee that entirely."

Could there be a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in that secret realm?

If that's the case, then whether or not to enter the secret realm is something that needs careful consideration.

After all, with his current strength, he is no match for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

They might be able to protect themselves, but in certain special circumstances, they could still be killed by Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"What's the situation with those ruins? Do you know anything about them?"

The vendor said, "In the past five years, I've only been to those ruins a few times."

"Each time, I dare not venture too deep. The ruins are fraught with danger, but also full of opportunities. If I want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I must go inside and take the risk."

Yu Changsheng looked at the vendor and said:

"What did you obtain from those ruins? I don't see any increase in your strength. Aren't you just trying to deceive me?"

The merchant was embarrassed. He had been weak when he entered the secret realm, but after five years of growth, his strength had improved significantly.

All I can say is that in this secret realm, as long as you can survive, your strength will definitely increase significantly.

"I may not be as good as you, but I can assure you that there are indeed many good things inside those ruins."

"That fist-shaped treasure is what I obtained from the ruins."

Yu Changsheng looked back and saw the giant hand that had been burned to a crisp.

At first, Yu Changsheng might have been intimidated by this strange creature, but after the Crimson Purgatory Dragon unleashed a single breath of its dragon breath, the thing had no power to resist at all, and it was hard to see what made it so powerful.

The vendor knew that Yu Changsheng looked down on this item, so he quickly explained:

"I didn't know that this fist-shaped treasure would be afraid of fire. Before this, I was able to win every time I used it."

"Moreover, this thing possesses a certain level of intelligence and is not as useless as you think."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Then what about the treasure that shattered earlier?"

The vendor said, "That's a fake treasure I made."

"If the buyer wants to see if this treasure is powerful, then bring out the real thing to show."

"Then we can secretly switch them out and pass them off as the real thing."

Yu Changsheng sneered, "You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

"If I don't kill you, wouldn't that mean even more people will suffer?"

The vendor's expression changed drastically, and he retreated hastily.

"Sir, I have told you everything I know."

"Besides, I had no choice but to do these things. In this sacred secret realm, if I didn't use these methods, I wouldn't be able to survive at all. You'll find out sooner or later."

Yu Changsheng sneered, "Since that's the case, shouldn't I kill you even more to prove your words?"

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

Upon hearing this, the merchant's face turned cold, and he rushed toward the ashes of the giant beast.

The other person immediately ran in the opposite direction.

Yu Changsheng raised his sword and knocked down another person.

Then he went behind the vendor and kicked him.

He kicked the vendor to the ground, but after falling, the man immediately collapsed onto the ashes.

He then grabbed a piece of ash and spat it into his mouth.

Yu Changsheng immediately attacked, plunging his sword into the man's throat.

The vendor died instantly, but his body continued to convulse violently.

Before long, the vendor's body began to twist and turn, and many finger-like fleshy sticks appeared. The fleshy sticks kept changing, and soon countless small hands emerged from his body.

Even the vendor's eyes were covered by two tiny hands.

The vendor let out a wicked laugh, and Yu Changsheng immediately made his move, unleashing a sword intent with his Purple Spirit Emperor Sword.

The vendor was cut in two.

But the vendor seemed unmoved, still grinning wickedly, with five fingers sprouting from his lower body, moving rapidly across the ground as he lunged at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng swiftly dodged, and the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword slashed out again, its sword intents rapidly turning the merchant into chunks of flesh, shattering him into pieces on the ground.

The vendor soon fell silent, but this bizarre scene still kept Yu Changsheng extremely vigilant.

Clearly, everything that just happened was caused by that strange bloody hand.

"What exactly is this thing? It's so sinister, could it be something from those ruins?"

Yu Changsheng stared at the corpses on the ground, then ordered the Crimson Dragon to burn all the corpses on the ground, including the other one.

Black smoke billowed from the ground and quickly dissipated.

Yu Changsheng looked up in the direction of the ruins. "This place is extremely dangerous. I have to be extra careful."

After dealing with everything on the ground, Yu Changsheng immediately mounted the Crimson Hell Dragon and continued his journey toward the ruins.

The ruins were not far from Yu Changsheng. After walking for a short while, Yu Changsheng could vaguely see some dilapidated buildings.

According to the information in the mission message, he had already arrived at the area of ​​the ruins.

However, this place is only the outer perimeter of the ruins, and it is still about half a day's journey to the center of the ruins.

This ruin is enormous, occupying nearly one-tenth of the size of this sacred and secret realm.

Yu Changsheng did not intend to delve any further, because the place where he and Chen Xueqing had arranged to meet was nearby.

They need to wait until the two reunite before continuing to venture deeper into the ruins.

Yu Changsheng looked around and immediately found a relatively conspicuous spot.

Once you enter the ruins nearby, you'll definitely be able to find him immediately.

And so we waited for a whole day and night.

Yu Changsheng sat upright on a high place, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. Several beasts took turns guarding him, ready to advance their cultivation levels at any time.

Just then, several dark figures suddenly appeared in the distance.

The colorful deer immediately cried out, waking Yu Changsheng from his meditation.

The dark figures kept approaching, clearly heading towards Yu Changsheng.

Judging from the number of people, it definitely wasn't Chen Xueqing, and Yu Changsheng immediately became alert.

Before long, the figure in the distance had arrived not far from Yu Changsheng. After he could see who it was, he realized what it was.

He couldn't help but pause, somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, the visitors turned out to be Leng Xu and her group.

Especially with Qian Lintian, who had been turned into a puppet beside him, Yu Changsheng was even more certain that he had not made a mistake.

At this moment, Qian Lintian was completely devoid of any life.

His face had turned an unnatural pale purple, his eyes were lifeless, and his skin was shriveled like a zombie.

Leng Xu was still the same as when I first saw her, her whole being exuding an alluring charm.

The two people behind Leng Xu noticed that Yu Changsheng had also become alert.

Instead, Leng Xu flew over with an indifferent expression.

Seeing Yu Changsheng all alone, Leng Xu covered her mouth and chuckled:

"What happened? Why did you break up with my sister?"

"Could it be that you've also given up on following my sister? Heh, how about joining my team?"

Yu Changsheng said coldly, "I think it's better to skip it."

Leng Xu asked, "What, did you think I would harm you?"

"Don't worry about that. Now is not the time for internal strife on Sea Beast Sky Island. Haven't you received any news from the sect?"

"This sacred secret realm is not only home to the Sea Beast Sky Island faction."

Yu Changsheng said, "So what? Anyone who can find this place must already have some intelligence."

"Since you already know about the ruins and the Great Sheng Clan, why bother coming to me? Why don't you just go and explore it yourselves?"

Leng Xu smiled and said, "Since you also know about the ruins and the Dasheng clan, you should cooperate with me even more."

"Aren't you curious about what treasures are inside this place that the Great Sheng Clan is willing to go to such lengths to explore?"

Yu Changsheng said, "I don't want to. If you're curious, you can go in and explore for yourself."

Leng Xu glanced at Yu Changsheng. "He really is an impervious fellow. Our Sea Beast Heavenly Island's strength is no match for the Great Sheng Clan. Don't you know how to cooperate?"

Yu Changsheng's attitude remains firm; it's not that he doesn't want to cooperate.

Instead, it was Qian Lintian, who was standing next to Leng Xu, who kept reminding him that he should not cooperate with this witch.

"Fine, since you're so ungrateful, I'll just go find someone else."

Having said that, he led his men and sat down not far from Yu Changsheng. (End of Chapter)
