Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Old Qi, what should we do now?"

The group looked at Qi Liusan at the same time, waiting for his instructions.

Qi Liusan sighed softly. Although he had failed this time, he could not give up because of it.

Qi Liusan turned to look at the stone pillar, wondering why the stone pillar had appeared if the black-armored sacred insect hadn't died.

Could it be because the Black Armored Sacred Insect is not a guardian spirit insect?

Was the true guardian spirit insect killed by someone else?

But what a coincidence! It's strange, really strange.

"Let's go, head towards the stone pillar, to the ninth floor!"

Stone pillars.

Yu Changsheng quickly searched the vicinity. The stone pillar leading to the ninth floor was incredibly thick, rising from the ground like a towering tree.

Such a massive object could not have been sculpted by an ordinary person.

It's hard to imagine the immense power of the person who created this monument.

Yu Changsheng circled the stone pillar and examined it, finding nothing particularly special about its exterior.

Only in the due north direction are there many fist-sized gaps.

Yu Changsheng immediately took out a crystal-like object of the same size, and after a quick comparison, he knew that this object could be perfectly embedded in it.

"Hehe, it seems this is the insect talisman that unlocks the path to the ninth level."

"As for the other gaps, they are probably the gaps corresponding to the insect talismans in the previous seven layers."

"It seems very likely that someone has already gone up to the ninth floor."

As for the insect talisman in Yu Changsheng's hand, it was naturally the one he obtained from the Black Armored Sacred Insect.

Previously, after discovering the heart of the black armored sacred insect, he immediately began refining it.

After refining the heart, I obtained this crystal-like insect talisman.

The moment he successfully refined it, the body of the black-armored sacred insect also shrank.

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to quickly leave the interior of the Black Armored Sacred Insect from underground.

When they finally managed to emerge from underground, they discovered that the black-armored sacred insect had shrunk to the size of a palm.

Seeing no one else around, Yu Changsheng, seizing the opportunity, naturally wouldn't stay idly by. He immediately took the Black Armored Sacred Insect and left, heading towards the stone pillar.

"Hehe, in that case, let's head to the ninth floor as soon as possible."

"As for Lu Chengfeng, we can only let him suffer for now. As long as he has hope, he will never betray me."

Yu Changsheng chuckled and pointed the insect talisman in his hand directly at the gap.

In an instant, a beam of light flashed by, and Yu Changsheng was immediately teleported to another space.

The environment here is completely different from the previous level; it's more like a vast desert.

There are absolutely no obstructions here.

Yu Changsheng knew he was in trouble. If Qi Liusan and the others caught up with him, he wouldn't even have a place to hide.

He immediately headed towards a hillside to assess the surrounding situation first.

Suddenly, a sharp insect chirp rang out, and Yu Changsheng swung his sword fiercely, slashing towards the dark figure.

The dark figure instantly shattered into several pieces, and Yu Changsheng went closer to take a look.

Only then did he realize that the creature that had attacked him was also a kind of spirit insect.

Its body is covered with barbs and scales, and its mouth is full of sharp fangs, which are about two meters long.

"Sandworms?"

Yu Changsheng put the item away and didn't linger, continuing his journey, but he became even more cautious.

This vast desert may seem calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging beneath.

Soon, he reached the highest point in the area and looked out.

A towering stone pillar quickly caught his attention.

"Could it be that the guardian spirit insects on this floor have already been killed?"

Yu Changsheng was immediately shocked, not expecting that this level would be broken through so quickly.

How long has that black-armored sacred beetle been dead? At most, only an hour or two.

In just a short while, the guardian spirit insects on this floor were killed?

That's a fifth-tier spirit insect! It might even be more powerful than the Black Armored Sacred Insect.

Yu Changsheng was also somewhat surprised. Just who was this person who possessed such abilities?

"It seems that quite a few experts have already entered."

Now that the guardian spirit insects of this level had been killed, Yu Changsheng had no intention of lingering any longer and immediately headed towards the stone pillar.

When Yu Changsheng arrived at the stone pillar, he easily found his way to the due north.

As expected, there were nine gaps in this place, one of which naturally belonged to the insect talisman in Yu Changsheng's hands.

He immediately aimed the insect talisman in his hand and sent it in. With a flash of white light, Yu Changsheng opened his eyes and found himself in another environment.

"This insect talisman is truly amazing."

"Could it be that it contains some spatial laws? Otherwise, how could it allow people to travel freely?"

Yu Changsheng observed the insect talisman for a while, but unfortunately, with his current level of understanding, he could hardly comprehend even a little bit of it.

It is estimated that only those who reach the Nascent Soul stage will be able to comprehend even a little bit of it.

Yu Changsheng put away the insect talisman and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Unlike the previous level, which was covered in yellow sand, the environment of the tenth level is located in a valley.

The surrounding area was also very desolate, with almost no plants.

Yu Changsheng quickly left the spot and headed in one direction of the valley.

The valley seemed to have no end, but Yu Changsheng discovered many small holes in the nearby walls.

Yu Changsheng also went to investigate some of them, but they were all empty. The holes were of varying depths and unevenly distributed, and he didn't know who had made these holes in the walls.

Continuing onward, it seemed as if the canyon had no end.

Yu Changsheng attempted to fly, but unfortunately, this place was also bound by the no-fly rule.

Although he couldn't fly, Yu Changsheng still wanted to try going up and take a look.

Using the rock face, Yu Changsheng still managed to climb to the top with difficulty.

Just as he was about to reach the top, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew in, and Yu Changsheng was unable to hold onto the rock wall, which blew him down.

"Cough cough."

Yu Changsheng coughed violently for a while after falling to the ground before recovering from his dizziness.

"Sigh, it seems this method won't work either."

"It seems we have no choice but to keep going."

After swallowing a pill to slightly heal his injuries, Yu Changsheng continued on his way.

The canyon seemed endless, and no matter where Yu Changsheng went, the surrounding environment seemed to remain unchanged.

After walking for about a day, there was still no sign of the end.

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to stop and recover his magical power.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yu Changsheng closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and adjusted his breathing.

After recovering slightly, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but ponder the ins and outs of this place.

"Could this place also be an illusionary formation, just like when we first entered the ruins?"

After standing up, Yu Changsheng casually attacked nearby for a while, trying to see if he could trigger any illusion array mechanism.

Unfortunately, there was nothing around except a pile of rubble.

Yu Changsheng tried attacking the wall again, and a small hole was immediately punched in it.

Even if Yu Changsheng attacked with all his might, he could only smash a hole the size of a bathtub.

The rock wall was harder than anyone imagined, and its thickness was unknown. Yu Changsheng immediately dismissed his previous unrealistic ideas.

"If this isn't an illusion array, then what is the situation? Continuing on, it seems there's no way out."

Yu Changsheng sighed, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Just as he was about to continue his journey, many thin threads suddenly emerged from the ground.

These fine threads resembled hair, and when Yu Changsheng took a closer look, he was immediately horrified.

"Death energy!"

If he hadn't witnessed a similar situation in the Dead Zone Canyon before, he might not have known how terrifying this deathly aura was.

But Yu Changsheng had personally witnessed how the death energy devoured a fifth-tier spirit beast alive, and he understood the terrifying nature of this thing.

Seeing the deathly aura on the ground growing stronger, Yu Changsheng dared not hesitate any longer; if he didn't run now, it would be too late.

But this canyon has no exit, so it's impossible to escape the death aura like before.

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

In the face of crisis, Yu Changsheng kept his eyes fixed on the cave entrance on the cliff face.

Now, hiding here is the only way to possibly escape this calamity.

However, these caves vary in depth, and choosing a cave that is too shallow would probably be useless.

Fortunately, Yu Changsheng had previously inspected these caves and knew which were deep and which were shallow; otherwise, it might have been too late.

The black threads on the ground were increasing, and Yu Changsheng immediately crawled towards one of the caves based on his memory.

As Yu Changsheng approached the cave entrance, the black mist on the ground had become so thick it resembled a river.

The river formed by the black mist grew higher and higher, almost filling the entire canyon.

Yu Changsheng quickly crawled into the cave and went deep inside.

Meanwhile, in the valley outside, the black mist began to flow rapidly, and within just a few breaths, it had become extremely swift.

Black gusts of wind swept through the canyon, emitting a sound like weeping.

Yu Changsheng, inside the cave, was also terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He had almost fallen into the black wind.

The wind howled like ghosts outside, and Yu Changsheng dared not approach the cave entrance easily. He could only go as far as possible to avoid being affected.

Soon Yu Changsheng arrived at the depths of the cave entrance and sat down to rest.

Unlike before, the black wind continued, and the sound grew louder and louder, as if it had begun to enter the cave entrance and was getting closer and closer to Yu Changsheng.

There was nothing Yu Changsheng could do at this moment, so he could only close his eyes and meditate, and several hours passed in this way.

The wind outside showed no signs of stopping.

"Damn it, will this deadly wind never stop? How long will it last?"

Yu Changsheng wanted to go forward and see what was happening outside, but he stopped after taking only two steps. It would be a huge loss if he were to be affected by the deadly wind and die.

After pacing around twice, Yu Changsheng sat back down in his previous spot. Listening to the whistling wind in the narrow cave, he simply stopped paying attention and completely forgot about the matter.

I was completely absorbed in a state of self-forgetfulness, leaving only a blank space.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Yu Changsheng slowly recovered from this state, and the sound of the wind outside seemed to have stopped.

Even the light inside the cave seemed to have brightened up a bit.

Yu Changsheng then cautiously approached the cave entrance.

Sure enough, the deadly wind outside had stopped, but it was unclear how long he had been in the cave.

After what had happened, Yu Changsheng hesitated about whether to continue.

If he encounters such a deadly wind again, he may not be so lucky as to find a deep enough cave to hide in.

But if we don't leave and stay here, we don't know when we'll be able to get out.

It is estimated that unless someone opens the stone pillar leading to the eleventh floor, they will be trapped here forever.

"Forget it, there's no point in staying here. Let's keep going."

Yu Changsheng looked at the end of the canyon. Although he knew it was just a bend, at least he had a goal to move forward from.

"Let's go. Staying here is just waiting to die. Why don't you go forward a little further, Your Majesty?"

They walked for an unknown distance, and Yu Changsheng vaguely seemed to see figures in the distance.

Yu Changsheng thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. Sure enough, there was a group of people in the distance.

There are still quite a few people here!

I never imagined there were other living people inside this canyon!

Yu Changsheng wanted to go over and check the situation immediately, but this place was fraught with danger, and it was also a question whether the other party was good or bad.

So he decided to follow along for a while and see how things went.

However, the other side seemed to have discovered Yu Changsheng's whereabouts very quickly, and soon sent someone over.

The man immediately introduced himself when he arrived in front of Yu Changsheng.

"Judging from your clothes, you must be from Sea Beast Sky Island, right?"

"My name is Ye Guyi, and I am a subordinate of the First Holy Son."

"Brother Ye, my name is Yu Changsheng."

Yu Changsheng also cupped his hands in response.

"So you are Yu Changsheng."

The man sized up Yu Changsheng for a moment, then said, "The First Holy Son requests your presence. Please come with me."

Yu Changsheng didn't refuse. Besides, there was nowhere to run even if he ran away, so he might as well go and take a look.

When Yu Changsheng got closer to the group, he realized that there were as many as eight people there, far exceeding the original three people in the First Holy Son's team.

Yu Changsheng had indeed met three of them before; they were the First Holy Son and the two people beside him when the Holy Land Secret Realm opened.

As for the other five people, they were all unfamiliar faces, but they were all wearing the clothes of the Sea Beast Sky Island.

"Are all the people from the Sea Beast Heavenly Island here?" Yu Changsheng asked.

Ye Guyi said, "That's right. After learning that Lu Chengfeng had been captured, the sect immediately sent people to support the First Holy Son."

Those people seemed to be talking about something, while Lin Tianhao stood in the center of the group, remaining silent.

Upon seeing Yu Changsheng arrive, he merely glanced at him and continued listening to the conversations around him.

Ye Guyi said, "Wait here for a while. The First Holy Son has some matters to discuss."

Yu Changsheng frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, but still waited a little longer.

There's no need for him to fall out with the other party over such a trivial matter.

After discussing it for a while, those people seemed to have reached a conclusion.

Lin Tianhao then turned to look at Yu Changsheng.

"So you are Yu Changsheng? I summoned you here for no other reason than to leave this place."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Do you perhaps have a way to leave this place?"

"You just need to cooperate with me when the time comes."

"Alright, if there really is a way to leave this place, I will cooperate."

Yu Changsheng also wanted to leave this awful place, so he nodded in agreement.

Lin Tianhao then stopped talking to Yu Changsheng and casually made a gesture.

Ye Guyi then approached Yu Changsheng. "Brother Yu, come with me." (End of Chapter)
