Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"An ancient dragon palace, a sect founded by spirit beasts!"

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath and silently processed what was happening.

"If that's the case, this ancient dragon palace should have been extremely powerful. Why has it become so dilapidated?"

The Xuan Turtle said, "Even the most powerful expert will one day perish. Even the most powerful sect will one day decline."

"Although the ancient Dragon Palace was the absolute hegemon sect in that era, it also fell rapidly due to its location."

"However, some of the things left behind here should still exist."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Could it be that this place has already been taken care of?"

The Black Tortoise said, "This ancient dragon palace was known in our time; it's no secret."

"Perhaps after all these years, people will have long forgotten it."

"There probably won't be much left, but perhaps some treasures might still exist in some hidden corners."

Yu Changsheng sighed regretfully, wishing he had discovered this historical site sooner.

The ruins left behind by a dominant sect must still contain many valuable items.

Unfortunately, it has already been explored by countless people, and very little remains.

"Is there really no need to explore this place much further?"

The black tortoise laughed and said, "It is a great honor to be able to visit this ancient dragon palace. Come on up, I still have some impression of this place."

"good!"

Yu Changsheng immediately jumped onto the back of the Xuan Turtle, watching it constantly move through the ruins.

They seemed very familiar with the area, except at some forks in the road.

The black tortoise will briefly recall its memories, and then choose the correct direction to continue forward.

"Senior Xuan Gui, how do you know this place so well?"

"This originates from the original memories of all the Saint Seeds. Although I am only a half-Saint Seed, I have still inherited some of those memories."

"I even have some fragments of memories of the holy species that originally lived here, which is why I have little understanding of this environment."

Yu Changsheng nodded slowly:

"I never imagined that the Holy Seed would possess such miraculous powers. Amazing."

"If that's the case, what if we don't understand this place?"

"That depends on your own strength."

The man and the beast quickly ventured deep into the ruins.

As the black tortoise walked, it deliberately avoided all areas.

At the same time, he introduced the situation of this place to Yu Changsheng.

"This place seems to be a breeding ground for unintelligent beasts."

"Unfortunately, after so many years, the surviving beasts have long since left this place. It's almost impossible to find anything here anymore."

Yu Changsheng suddenly asked curiously, "Then what do these ancient dragon palace spirit beast disciples eat?"

"They're naturally domesticated, unintelligent beasts; otherwise, what else could they eat?"

Yu Changsheng thought about it and agreed. After all, spirit beasts are different from humans, and different spirit beasts are not considered to be of the same race.

It's just that there's a unified name for it.

As Yu Changsheng passed through the area, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

Yu Changsheng immediately reminded him, "There seems to be a battle ahead. Senior Xuan Gui, please come back first. I'll go and investigate."

The giant head of the Xuan Turtle shook and said, "Alright, call me again if you need to fight."

Immediately, the Xuan Turtle transformed into a beam of light and returned to Yu Changsheng's body.

Yu Changsheng immediately and cautiously approached the front.

As they drew closer, the sounds of fighting grew increasingly intense.

Yu Changsheng carefully peered into a corner and discovered that the people fighting were Qi Liusan and Lu Chengfeng.

"I never expected to run into these two guys here."

"But everyone else has gone their separate ways, so why are Qi Liusan and Lu Chengfeng still together?"

The two were not fighting each other, but were dealing with a gigantic spirit beast.

The spirit beast appeared to be a rhinoceros spirit beast covered in heavy armor, and the aura emanating from it was estimated to be around the level of a fourth-tier spirit beast.

With the combined efforts of Lu Chengfeng and Qi Liusan, the rhinoceros spirit beast could only hold out for a short time before Lu Chengfeng punched it to the ground, and then Qi Liusan killed it with a single slash.

After cleaning up the rhinoceros spirit beast, the two were preparing to continue their journey.

However, before leaving, Lu Chengfeng glanced at the location where Yu Changsheng was.

Yu Changsheng immediately withdrew, and by the time he resurfaced, the two had already gone far away.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng followed.

The two men hadn't gone far when Qi Liusan stopped and began searching the vicinity.

Lu Chengfeng was also searching nearby, but he was intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to Yu Changsheng.

Once Qi Liusan was far away, Lu Chengfeng stopped pretending and walked directly towards Yu Changsheng's location.

"Stop hiding! Do you think I'm blind?"

Upon hearing Lu Chengfeng's words, Yu Changsheng had no choice but to rush out as well.

"Heh, Holy Son, you really have some impressive methods? I was so careful in hiding, yet I was still discovered?"

Lu Chengfeng sneered, "Enough with the nonsense. I can let bygones be bygones. But now is the perfect opportunity."

"Aren't you going to make a move yet?"

"Make a move? Make what move?" Yu Changsheng asked knowingly.

"Stop playing dumb with me. Qi Liusan's contract is very likely with him."

"I'll be free once you kill him, and I'll reward you handsomely then."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Hehe, when that time really comes, I'm afraid the Holy Son won't let me off so easily, will he?"

Lu Chengfeng's cheek twitched, and he took a deep breath, saying, "In that case, what kind of guarantee do you want?"

"Naturally, I will only make my move after we leave this place."

"I won't risk my life unless I'm sure I can get out safely."

Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said, "If I leave here, how will I know if you'll still make a move? I might as well kill you now."

Yu Changsheng knew this guy was obviously serious, so he quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Hehe, Holy Son, please calm down. Don't you know that?"

"If we can successfully rescue you, there will be considerable rewards from the sect."

"I reckon everyone else on the platform who saw you would want to get their hands on this reward. Even if I don't make a move, someone else probably will."

"But for me, it's always better to have this reward in my own hands than in someone else's."

"So no matter what, I will rescue you."

Yu Changsheng's words softened Lu Chengfeng's expression considerably, at least confirming that Yu Changsheng genuinely wanted to save him.

"What are you planning to do?"

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Before leaving this place, I'll have to trouble you for a bit."

"Besides, it would be a waste to kill Qi Liusan like this. It would be a losing proposition to kill him without making use of him."

"Has Qi Liusan made any discoveries or gained any understanding of this place?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "He didn't tell me much. He only told me that this place was an ancient dragon palace and an ancient sect. He didn't say much else."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, without much reaction, since he already knew about this matter.

Lu Chengfeng said in surprise, "Judging from your expression, you don't seem surprised. Do you know about this as well?"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that."

"Meet up with Qi Liusan first, and don't let him notice anything amiss."

Lu Chengfeng threatened again, "If I find out you're playing me, I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!"

After making a series of threats, Lu Chengfeng quickly left.

Yu Changsheng followed behind them at a distance, with these two people ahead of him to remove some dangers for him.

Yu Changsheng himself is much safer.

Yu Changsheng wanted these two people to use his thumbtacks to solve some of the problems first.

Moreover, there are far too many experts who have entered the twelfth floor of this pupa tower this time.

Making a hasty move could very well end up benefiting someone else.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to let the others fight amongst themselves first, and then Yu Changsheng could reap the final rewards.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengfeng surveyed the surrounding area before returning to meet up with Qi Liusan.

The idea of ​​patrolling the surrounding area was proposed by him and Qi Liusan, in order to secretly contact Yu Changsheng.

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

The objective has been achieved, and there is no need to waste any more time.

Qi Liusan looked around and asked, "Didn't you say you found something strange nearby? Maybe a hidden spirit beast? Did you find it?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head. "I guess I'm seeing things. There's nothing like it in this direction."

Qi Liu looked suspiciously in the direction Lu Chengfeng had gone, and after carefully observing the area, he didn't notice anything unusual.

But he always felt that Lu Chengfeng was hiding something from him.

"Hmph! What tricks are you playing on me?"

Qi Liusan reached out and a parchment scroll appeared in his hand. He drew something on the parchment scroll with his fingers and muttered incantations.

Lu Chengfeng immediately collapsed to the ground in agony, his robust body convulsing uncontrollably, as if he were being devoured by venomous insects.

He had almost lost consciousness, and was left with only endless pain.

This continued for almost a minute.

But for Lu Chengfeng, it felt like he had been tormented for a century.

Even after the sound faded away, Lu Chengfeng was still trembling on the ground, unable to recover.

Qi Liusan kicked him a few more times, angrily shouting, "Tell me, what are you hiding?"

Lu Chengfeng said painfully, "Elder Qi, I really didn't hide anything. I did see some strange shadows just now."

"But after searching, nothing was found."

"A strange shadow?"

Qi Liusan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Get up, let's keep going. Don't let others get ahead."

"Yes."

Lu Chengfeng staggered to his feet, head bowed, his expression gloomy.

Qi Liusan walked ahead on his own, completely ignoring Lu Chengfeng.

The two left quickly, and only then did Yu Changsheng emerge.

"It seems Lu Chengfeng was indeed controlled. That parchment must be the contract attached to him?"

"If we could obtain this item, wouldn't it be equivalent to gaining an extra peak-stage Purple Mansion cultivator as a henchman?"

"Tsk tsk, all I can say is that the methods of the Dasheng clan are indeed vicious."

"However, if we could obtain that parchment, it might be of great use."

This time, to avoid being discovered, Yu Changsheng didn't follow too closely immediately, since he had Lu Chengfeng as an inside man.

It's almost impossible to lose them no matter what.

Even if the two have completely disappeared from Yu Changsheng's sight, as long as the general direction is correct, there will be no problem.

Moreover, Yu Changsheng could occasionally see some traces, which were obviously left by Lu Chengfeng to guide him.

With these traces, Yu Changsheng no longer needed to worry about losing them.

They followed for two days, during which Qi Liusan stopped a few more times, but it seemed he didn't gain anything, so he continued on his way.

Yu Changsheng himself had even less interest in exploring the area.

The two continued walking, one in front of the other, and there seemed to be no distinction between day and night here; the sky was always in daylight.

Yu Changsheng released the Xuan Turtle and left for a few days to confirm the news.

"Senior Xuan Turtle, do you recognize this place? Does it remind you of anything?"

After emerging, the black tortoise looked around and tried to recall its surroundings.

"It seems we're not far from the core area."

"The closer you get to the core area, the more dangers there are. Although this place is a relic left by the ancient Dragon Palace sect, it also has many traps and mechanisms."

You should also be more careful.

"I understand."

Yu Changsheng looked into the distance, pondering to himself.

Since we're already quite close to the center, the chances of encountering other people will only increase as we go further.

Suddenly, the black tortoise raised its head sharply, sniffed the air, and said:

"Kid, I sense something strange."

Just as Yu Changsheng was wondering, the sky suddenly darkened.

The once clear sky gradually darkened, and within just a few breaths, it was completely dark.

"Senior Xuan Turtle, what's going on?"

The black tortoise wasn't quite sure either, and shook its head.

"Perhaps someone triggered a mechanism here, or perhaps it's some rule left behind by these ruins; I'm not entirely sure."

"My inherited memories are incomplete, and I don't remember them very clearly."

Yu Changsheng said, "In that case, we can only proceed cautiously."

Yu Changsheng simply released the Golden-Winged Roc and all the other tamed beasts.

In such a dark environment, it's too easy to be ambushed. Therefore, the more people you have, the safer you are.

Yu Changsheng took out a torch for illumination; its faint light was like a firefly in the darkness, insignificant.

"The darkness here is unusually intense, so please be very careful."

In the darkness, Yu Changsheng proceeded cautiously.

With each step taken, it seemed as if one could hear the clear sound of footsteps.

After walking for a while, Yu Changsheng stopped again.

He suddenly realized that moving forward at this time might not be a wise choice.

The best course of action is to stay put and wait for the darkness to disappear.

So Yu Changsheng went to a secluded corner and sat down in a spot to minimize the threat from behind.

The other beasts surrounded it in the center.

All the beasts waited quietly, and the only sound in the air was their rapid breathing.

Yu Changsheng did his best to release his divine sense, constantly watching for any potential threats lurking in the darkness.

As time passed second by second, the darkness seemed to grow thicker and more boundless.

The torch in his hand was extinguished, barely illuminating Yu Changsheng himself.

Even the surrounding beasts were completely invisible to the naked eye, leaving only a faint connection. (End of Chapter)
