Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

After Yu Changsheng agreed, Hu Ruhai looked at the tall tower to the side:

"You haven't been inside this cocoon tower yet, have you?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head. "This tower is called the Cocoon Tower? Does that name have any special meaning?"

Hu Ruhai said, "Of course, I think you should have noticed that as well."

"This forest is teeming with all sorts of spirit insects, and other spirit beasts as well."

"This is all due to the existence of this pupa tower."

"These spirit insects all hatched from inside that pupal tower. Over time, it became difficult for other spirit beasts to survive in this forest."

"All that remains are various kinds of spirit insects."

Yu Changsheng then realized, "If that's the case, has anyone entered the interior of this cocoon tower?"

Hu Ruhai said, "That's natural. This cocoon tower has a total of twelve floors."

"Each floor is guarded by various kinds of spirit insects."

"And our mission is to reach the very top of that cocoon tower."

"Right now, we've only broken through to the eighth level."

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, this pupa tower is quite interesting. Why don't we go in and take a look now?"

Hu Ruhai laughed and said, "You're quite impatient. This isn't a place for sightseeing; the various spirit insects that can be found everywhere are deadly."

"Once you go in, you'll want to come out immediately. But let me warn you beforehand, once you go into this cocoon tower, you can't get out."

"Unless you use this teleportation array, you'll be trapped in one dead end. Have you thought it through?"

Yu Changsheng also thought of waiting for Chen Xueqing for a while, but it was hard to say whether they could meet her immediately in this place.

Yu Changsheng tried to send out a talisman to contact them again, but the talisman disappeared shortly after it flew out, which made Yu Changsheng give up completely.

Hu Ruhai, seeing Yu Changsheng's actions, said:

"There's no way to contact this place with a talisman, so don't bother going."

Yu Changsheng sighed, "Well, since that's the case, we have no choice but to go in."

Hu Ruhai took the lead and set off, with Yu Changsheng following closely behind. It seemed that this was not Hu Ruhai's first time here.

They easily found their way to the entrance of a pupal tower.

The entrance was almost entirely covered in dense spider webs.

Hu Ruhai said, "These spider webs are quite dangerous. If you don't know how to break them, you'll be in for a world of trouble once you get entangled in them."

As he spoke, Hu Ruhai tossed out a talisman, which immediately burst into flames, burning the spiderweb to ashes.

At the same time, Hu Ruhai and the others quickly retreated, and Yu Changsheng naturally retreated a distance as well.

After the spider web burned out, a large plume of green smoke rose up, clearly indicating that it was poisonous fumes.

Hu Ruhai then explained, "This spider web contains a deadly poison. Even if a weapon gets contaminated with it, it will be rendered useless by the toxin."

"So the only option is to burn it. Even so, if a cultivator from the Purple Mansion Realm smells that green smoke, they will die with regret if they don't have the best antidote."

Yu Changsheng said, "This secret realm is indeed extremely dangerous; one could die anywhere."

Hu Ruhai nodded and said, "Yes, we people may seem to be from the Dasheng clan, but in reality, we are just Dasheng clan members sent to their deaths to scout ahead. It's simply outrageous!"

After uttering a complaint, Hu Ruhai immediately went inside.

The interior of the tower is quite simple, empty and ordinary.

Yu Changsheng asked, "How do we get up here?"

"It's very simple. Just defeat the guardian spirit insect on this floor and get the insect talisman from it."

"Currently, many people have already obtained the insect talismans for the first seven levels, so we can go directly to the eighth level."

As he spoke, Hu Ruhai took out a specially made stone toy with a very peculiar shape, somewhat resembling a multifaceted spherical crystal.

"This is the insect talisman for the third level, which I obtained a year ago. Hehe, other teams also have different insect talismans, so they can challenge the eighth level at any time."

Yu Changsheng asked, "What about those who don't have the insect talisman? Are they just supposed to give up?"

Hu Ruhai explained, "No. With the insect talisman in hand, you can go directly to the eighth floor without being attacked by the spirit insects there."

"Without the insect talisman, reaching the eighth floor would involve many troubles along the way."

A man behind him said, "Hehe, kid, you're lucky to have met our team leader."

Hu Ruhai smiled without saying a word, and urged, "Let's go, don't waste time."

He also activated the insect talisman in his hand, and Yu Changsheng and the others were directly sent to the eighth level of the pupa tower by the teleportation array contained within the insect talisman.

After a brief moment of blurred vision, the view returned to normal.

Yu Changsheng forced himself to endure the dizziness and made sure he could see clearly what was in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the eighth floor of this Pupa Tower was completely different from the first floor, and it was more like the outside, full of trees and flowers.

The faint chirping of insects could be heard everywhere, and every now and then, a few nimble insects could be seen darting by.

"This is the eighth floor of the Chrysalis Tower? I thought it would be an ordinary tower like the others."

Hu Ruhai said, "The higher you go in the Pupa Tower, the more complex it becomes. Starting from the fifth level, it's like a forest."

"And the space inside is much larger than you can see from the outside."

Yu Changsheng asked in confusion, "Could it be that this place is now outside the Pupa Tower? No longer part of the original Pupa Tower?"

Hu Ruhai was unaware of this, and he was unsure of their exact location at that moment.

All I know is that once I defeat the guardian spirit insect of this level, I can obtain the insect talisman for the eighth level.

This will open the entrance to the ninth floor.

"Let's go."

After quickly getting a feel for the direction, Hu Ruhai set off immediately, and the others followed suit.

Yu Changsheng asked, "Are we just going to wander around in this forest? Do those guardian spirit insects not have a fixed location?"

As Hu Ruhai walked, he patiently explained, "Hehe, if there were a fixed location, wouldn't it have been opened up to the eighth floor by now?"

"The guardian spirit insects on each level are not only extremely difficult to detect, but also incredibly powerful, far surpassing the strength of ordinary peak Purple Mansion cultivators."

"Furthermore, these guardian spirit insects are often in a very suitable environment, allowing them to unleash power far exceeding their original strength."

"In short, if you don't have enough strength and confidence, it's best not to make contact with those spirit insects even if you discover them."

Just as Hu Ruhai was still speaking eloquently, a series of violent tremors suddenly erupted in the distance.

Almost the entire land was shaken, and the ground continued to undulate.

Hu Ruhai was immediately shocked, but this place was also bound by rules and could not be used for flying.

No one could figure out what had happened.

Hu Ruhai immediately decided, "Let's go take a look!"

"yes!"

The others followed without any objection.

Yu Changsheng found it rather strange. Usually, when there is danger, one would immediately move away. But Hu Ruhai was doing the opposite.

Hu Ruhai noticed Yu Changsheng's unusual expression and smiled:

"Hehe, you didn't expect us to go to meet you instead, did you? Actually, you don't need to be too surprised."

"Although this tower is vast, it has its limits. Even if you try to escape, you can't get there; in fact, you might be affected by the turmoil."

"Therefore, the most correct approach is to investigate the situation as soon as possible, and if there is any danger, it should be eliminated immediately, rather than letting it develop."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "I see. Team Leader Hu's experience is indeed very rich."

Hu Ruhai laughed and said, "How could I have survived so many years of life-and-death experiences in these ruins without any expertise?"

As the two were talking.

Having arrived at the source of the tremor, Yu Changsheng looked closely and discovered that a huge spirit insect was constantly writhing in the dust.

Every time it was turned over, the ground would shake.

Even Yu Changsheng's rough estimate was that the size of this spirit insect was already two hundred meters.

This size is almost only seen on fifth-tier spirit beasts.

"Could this spirit insect be a fifth-tier spirit insect? No wonder it can cause such power!"

Yu Changsheng had seen a fifth-tier spirit beast once before, and its power still made him shudder. He barely managed to kill it thanks to the death wind in the Dead Domain Canyon.

And this time, the spirit insect seems to be quite powerful as well.

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

Hu Ruhai also realized the seriousness of the problem. "It seems that the guardian spirit insect of the eighth floor has finally appeared. I didn't expect it to be a fifth-order spirit insect. This is going to be difficult."

Yu Changsheng said, "This spirit insect is a guardian spirit insect? How come it wasn't discovered before? Could it have been hiding underground all along?"

Hu Ruhai said, "It's very likely that someone else found this spirit insect by accident. But no one can deal with it alone."

As he spoke, Hu Ruhai took out a communication talisman and crushed it in his hand.

Immediately, a red light shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air.

Not long after, a red light also rose up on the opposite side and exploded in the sky.

"As expected, it was our people who accidentally discovered the fifth-tier spirit beast on this level."

"Let's rendezvous with our group first, let's go!"

Hu Ruhai took the lead and headed directly towards the direction where the red light was rising on the other side.

The two sides were not far apart, and before long, Yu Changsheng saw the other person's figure.

However, among those people, Yu Changsheng spotted a familiar figure.

Hu Ruhai immediately went forward to meet up with the other team leader.

However, Yu Changsheng's gaze remained fixed on the person behind the team leader.

This man was tall with a healthy bronze complexion, and his muscles looked like they were about to burst.

It was before entering the sacred realm that the holy son named Lu Chengfeng...

Many people had previously speculated that Lu Chengfeng had probably been captured by the Dasheng clan.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Judging from Lu Chengfeng's appearance, he has obviously been controlled by these people from the Dasheng clan. He is probably only slightly better off than Qian Lintian, who was directly turned into a puppet.

As for Lu Chengfeng's subordinates, Yu Changsheng estimated they weren't much better off.

Lu Chengfeng noticed Yu Changsheng's figure immediately.

How could Lu Chengfeng not recognize the people who had entered the sacred secret realm with him?

Upon noticing Yu Changsheng, Lu Chengfeng's body immediately trembled with excitement, his eyes widening, yet he remained silent.

All they could do was keep a close eye on Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng naturally noticed Lu Chengfeng's unusual behavior, but did not react immediately.

It seems that Lu Chengfeng will not reveal his identity for the time being, otherwise Yu Changsheng would probably have a hard time explaining himself under these circumstances.

However, Yu Changsheng was certain that Lu Chengfeng probably wanted him to help him get rid of his predicament.

But such things are easier said than done; we can only try to find a solution slowly.

At that moment, Hu Ruhai began talking with the team leader.

Yu Changsheng listened from the side and learned that the other party's leader was named Qi Liusan, and he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties with a hunched back.

But Hu Ruhai was very respectful.

"Elder Qi, what's the deal with this spirit insect?"

"Hmph! What a beast! I accidentally lured it out from underground, but I never expected this beast to be so troublesome. I tried everything but couldn't harm it."

Hu Ruhai looked at the spirit insect that was still thrashing about. It seemed that the spirit insect was so huge that it could hardly sense the ant-like people.

Therefore, we can only hear of this method of creating earthquakes to threaten people who are nearby.

Although it posed little threat to Yu Changsheng and his group, they were equally unable to pose a threat to the spirit insect.

Hu Ruhai nodded and said, "The shell of this Black Armored Sacred Insect is extremely tough, and it would be difficult to kill it using ordinary methods."

"It will be quite difficult to obtain the insect talisman on its body."

Qi Liusan was also at a loss.

"I have tried to attack several times before, but with little effect. Instead, it has only further enraged this beast."

Hu Ruhai was also itching to get his hands on it. If he could obtain this insect talisman, he would naturally reap even greater benefits.

"I'll give it a try!"

Hu Ruhai leaped up, a golden bowl appearing in his hand, activated by his magical power.

The golden bowl began to grow larger and larger until it was the size of a water vat.

Hu Ruhai then continued to strike the edge of the golden bowl, and waves of sound began to emanate, heading towards the black-armored sacred insect.

The piercing sound waves immediately caused the black-armored sacred insect to feel extreme pain, and its body began to tremble even more violently.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng and the others could only regret their actions to avoid being implicated.

In the chaos, Lu Chengfeng seized the opportunity to arrive not far from Yu Changsheng.

He said in a low voice, "I recognize you! You are Yu Changsheng."

Yu Changsheng remained unmoved, pretending not to hear, and continued to walk in one direction on his own.

Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait, kid!"

On the other side, although Hu Ruhai's attack affected the black-armored sacred insect to some extent, it was unable to cause any real damage to it.

Instead, this only further enraged the black-armored sacred insect.

"These spirit insects are really troublesome. As expected, even fifth-tier spirit insects are not so easy to deal with."

Hu Ruhai put away the golden bowl in his hand. This method was ineffective against the black-armored sacred insect, so Hu Ruhai came up with another method.

At this moment, a small cauldron was spinning rapidly in Hu Ruhai's palm.

"You beast, eat my cauldron!"

Hu Ruhai roared and threw the small cauldron in his hand upwards.

The small cauldron kept spinning in mid-air, and with each rotation, its size doubled.

Before long, it had become enormous. (End of Chapter)
