Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The next moment, the surrounding darkness receded like a tide.

Yu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and found that everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

The other beasts also stood vigilantly in place, motionless.

"Is that all?"

Yu Changsheng murmured something, seemingly unaffected by the darkness.

So he immediately asked, "Senior Xuan Turtle, what's going on? Is there any record of this in your inherited memories?"

After carefully recalling the events, the black tortoise said:

"This darkness... seems to be related to a spirit beast."

"A spirit beast?"

"I only have a few fragments of memories left. This darkness seems to have come from a sacred spirit beast."

"The spirit beast will only appear when darkness falls."

"As for the rest, I can't quite remember them either."

Yu Changsheng stroked his chin. "Spirit beasts only appear in the darkness?"

"In such darkness, even moving is a problem, so how are we supposed to find this spirit beast?"

The Xuan Turtle shook its head and said, "This is the power of a Sacred Beast. Each Sacred Beast possesses a powerful and unique ability."

Yu Changsheng immediately perked up: "So, there's a sacred spirit beast on the twelfth floor of this pupa tower?"

Even the Xuan Turtle couldn't be completely certain: "This ability does indeed come from a sacred spirit beast."

"But if sacred spirit beasts truly exist, how could they tolerate others trespassing into their territory?"

"They've probably already made their move against us."

Yu Changsheng was also a little puzzled. In the darkness just now, he had almost no ability to resist.

If there is any danger lurking there, it would pose a tremendous threat to him.

Even so, when the darkness disappeared, he was completely unharmed, which speaks volumes.

"Could it be that the sacred spirit beast is also subject to some kind of restriction, unable to act? So it releases this darkness to warn the intruders?"

Xuan Gui also felt that Yu Changsheng's guess made some sense:

"That's right, that's very likely."

"Most of the sacred spirit beasts that remained here and did not leave have entered a restricted state."

"In other words, now may be its weakest moment."

Upon hearing the Xuan Turtle's guess, Yu Changsheng's heart immediately burned with excitement.

That's a sacred spirit beast! If we could really get our hands on it, the benefits would be obvious.

"Alright, I'm determined to get this sacred beast!"

Yu Changsheng didn't linger and immediately recalled the spirit beasts.

They then continued moving in the original direction.

After walking for a while, Yu Changsheng found another mark on a section of wall.

It was clearly left by Lu Chengfeng, and there was also a letter in the stone pile below the mark.

Upon opening it, the content was quite simple.

After Lu Chengfeng encountered that darkness, he also left this message for Yu Changsheng.

At the same time, Yu Changsheng was informed that Qi Liusan had begun to try to contact other members of the Dasheng clan.

Because it is suspected that the legendary sacred beast may exist inside.

He warned Yu Changsheng about what had happened before, and that if he didn't help him get rid of Qi Liusan, Yu Changsheng would definitely pay the price.

"Hehe, it seems Lu Chengfeng is getting anxious too."

"However, I didn't expect that the people of the Dasheng clan would know so much about these ruins."

"Based on the darkness before, they can determine that there are sacred spirit beasts here? It seems that the Dasheng Clan has explored this place very thoroughly."

Yu Changsheng squeezed the letter in his hand with force, turning it into dust.

Just as Yu Changsheng was about to continue forward and follow, the Xuan Turtle suddenly appeared on its own initiative.

"Kid, I suddenly remembered something important."

Yu Changsheng asked suspiciously, "What instructions does Senior Xuan Gui have?"

"Get on my back. I suddenly remembered that there seems to be an important place here that we have to go to."

"Oh?"

Filled with curiosity, Yu Changsheng went to the back of the Xuan Turtle.

The Xuan Turtle then transformed into a suitable size and quickly ran towards the other side.

Looking back in Lu Chengfeng's direction, it seemed unlikely that he could catch up.

We can only hope that when we return to this place, we will be able to find traces left by Lu Chengfeng.

Xuan Gui quickly led his people to a place that resembled a palace.

This place is in a state of disrepair, with gaps in many places.

However, the Xuan Turtle did not enter immediately. Instead, it cast a spell at the palace entrance.

The incantation was cast and disappeared above the gate. Soon, the gate slowly opened, revealing a crack.

The black tortoise then shrank its body and darted into the gap.

Upon entering, the Xuan Turtle carried Yu Changsheng to the center of the main hall.

There was only a raised cylindrical stone platform with strange patterns painted on it.

Yu Changsheng asked, "Senior Xuan Turtle, what kind of place is this?"

The Black Tortoise said, "According to my inherited memories, this should be the core of the protective formation of the entire ancient Dragon Palace."

"Once we gain control of this place, we will be able to manage most of the ancient Dragon Palace area."

"Oh! I never knew there was a place like this!"

Yu Changsheng was overjoyed, for this would allow him to obtain a wealth of useful information.

"Senior Xuan Turtle, how should we use this place?"

"To activate this formation, you need an insect talisman. You still have that talisman on you, right?"

Yu Changsheng immediately took it out. After being teleported to the twelfth floor by the stone pillar on the eleventh floor, the insect talisman would also return to his hand.

Similar to the previous situation, except that the eleventh-floor stone pillar requires ten insect talismans.

Yu Changsheng placed the insect talisman on the stone pillar.

Instantly, many strange patterns began to appear on the ground.

The patterns formed a series of designs, which gradually appeared before Yu Changsheng's eyes.

After a quick examination, Yu Changsheng realized that the patterns on the ground were likely the overall map of the Dragon Palace.

Above, there are many moving points of light.

Yu Changsheng quickly located his position based on the surrounding terrain.

He is currently located roughly in the lower left corner of the Dragon Palace's core area, quite close to the central region.

Sure enough, at his location, there was a point of light slowly flickering.

"Could these points of light represent the people who have entered this place?"

Yu Changsheng roughly counted that there were more than thirty people on the twelfth floor of the Cocoon Tower today.

These people were scattered throughout the Dragon Palace, some in pairs, some in groups of three.

Most of the points of light were still isolated; clearly, many people had not yet encountered other people.

However, as everyone gets closer to the core area, the probability of encountering other people will also increase.

"So far, there haven't been any instances of infighting. But it's probably hard to avoid in the future."

The black tortoise said from the side, "Having this map will greatly increase your advantage."

Yu Changsheng nodded as well: "It's a pity that these specks of light can't be used to determine identity. Otherwise, the benefits would be even greater."

"Senior Xuan Turtle, please stay here and keep me informed of my situation and that of the surrounding light spots."

The black tortoise agreed. "What do you plan to do?"

"I need to find suitable helpers first, but these points of light cannot be identified, so I have to investigate them one by one myself."

Yu Changsheng selected the closest point of light and immediately headed in that direction.

This person was very close to Yu Changsheng, about an hour's journey away.

In addition, Yu Changsheng approached at top speed, taking even less time.

During this time, the Xuan Turtle also adjusted Yu Changsheng's position at any time. Once Yu Changsheng deviated from the direction, the Xuan Turtle would immediately send a message.

The edge of a forest.

A man sat in front of a rock, wiping away sweat.

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

"Damn, how can this place be so big?"

Yu Changsheng was also very familiar with this person; it was none other than Hu Ruhai.

Hu Ruhai added some firewood to the campfire in front of him and placed some of the food he carried with him on a nearby stone to roast it.

After several days without rest or food, he was starting to feel the strain.

Soon the flatbread on the stone began to turn slightly yellow, and the dried meat began to turn reddish-brown and emit a caramelized aroma.

Just as Hu Ruhai was about to pick it up and take a bite, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yu Changsheng's sudden appearance startled Hu Ruhai so much that he jumped up and ran out before stopping.

His face still showed a look of panic, but when he saw who it was, he became even more furious.

"Yu Changsheng, it's you again!"

"I never imagined that we would have some kind of fate, to meet again in a place like this."

Hu Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put away the magic weapon in his hand.

"What are you doing here?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Hehe, I just saw smoke coming from the chimneys here, so I rushed over."

"I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance here."

Of course, Yu Changsheng wouldn't reveal that he possessed the array map.

Hu Ruhai didn't suspect anything and went straight back to his original seat.

"It's lucky to meet someone from my own group here."

"By the way, did you find anything here?"

Yu Changsheng said, "There's nothing special about this place. It seems to have been visited many times before, and there's no treasure to be found."

"Even spirit beasts and spirit insects are rarely seen; it's truly barren."

Hu Ruhai also shook his head.

"Yeah, I thought there would be something good on the twelfth floor, but this is really disappointing."

"However, I was unexpectedly plunged into darkness before, I don't know if it was a trap or the rules of this world."

Have you ever encountered a similar situation?

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Indeed, I encountered the same situation, but this should not be a trap or rule, but rather the ability of some kind of spirit beast."

"The abilities of spirit beasts!"

Hu Ruhai suddenly looked up.

What kind of spirit beast has the ability to shroud such a large area in darkness?

If that's true, it's truly terrifying; it's at least the power of a fifth-tier spirit beast.

"How do you know? And where did you get this information from?"

Yu Changsheng started spouting nonsense:

"I also got this information from others; the fifth-tier spirit beasts here are not ordinary spirit beasts, but sacred ones!"

"A sacred spirit beast?"

Hu Ruhai stood up instantly, his breathing becoming quite labored.

"Sacred-type spirit beasts are almost extinct, and very few are still appearing in the world. Could there really be a sacred-type spirit beast here?"

Yu Changsheng shrugged and said, "I can't be completely sure either, after all, I heard this news from other people."

"However, you've seen ordinary fifth-tier spirit beasts capable of using such abilities before. Could they possibly do that?"

Hu Ruhai became completely excited.

Even discovering a single sacred beast is a great achievement.

If we can obtain this sacred spirit beast, the reward will be even more generous.

What Hu Ruhai wanted even more was to subdue this sacred spirit beast and make it part of his fighting force.

However, Hu Ruhai quickly realized what was happening and asked warily, "If that's the case, why did you tell me about this?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "A sacred spirit beast isn't so easy to obtain."

"I can't get it by myself. Besides, there are more people here than just you and me."

"Lin Tianhao also possesses a fifth-tier beast taming ability, and his own strength is at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, making him the strongest among us."

"If we don't practice, how can we possibly beat him?"

Hu Ruhai nodded slightly, agreeing that Ju De's words made sense.

"So you want to cooperate?"

"That's right. At the very least, we need to cooperate to exclude Lin Tianhao before discussing anything else, right?"

Hu Ruhai agreed, "Alright, I can cooperate with you until we deal with Lin Tianhao."

Yu Changsheng immediately asked, "In that case, I'd like to know the strength of the people from the Dasheng Clan who entered the twelfth level?"

Hu Ruhai said, "It's not a secret."

"You've seen Qi Liusan's strength; it's about the same as mine. However, the strength of the slave he subdued shouldn't be underestimated."

"As for that Great Sheng Fierce Beast, he's nothing but a piece of trash. He's just a young master who came here for training, not worth mentioning."

"Of the people from the Dasheng clan who came in this time, there are only two whom we need to pay attention to."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Please enlighten me?"

"First, there's Shadow Elder Three. He's skilled in shadow-遁 (shadow-遁 is a type of technique that can be very troublesome to deal with)."

"Secondly, there is Da Shengli Xie. This person is quite powerful. I estimate that even if Qi Liu and I joined forces, we might not be his match."

Yu Changsheng asked, "In that case, is there any way to recruit these two people into our team?"

Hu Ruhai shook his head.

"Of the people I know, only Qi Liusan is somewhat cooperative."

"As for the other two, based on my understanding of them, I estimate they won't choose to cooperate with us."

"Da Sheng Li Xie only cooperates with the people of the Da Sheng clan, while Ying Lao San is extremely eccentric and always goes his own way, which is also related to his abilities."

Yu Changsheng sighed, "It seems we can't count on the Dasheng clan. We can only try to win over the others."

Hu Ruhai seemed to have sensed something as well, and quickly asked, "I've never seen the other people before."

"It's very likely they're not from the Dasheng clan. Speaking of which, the Dasheng clan discovered many people of unknown identity in this secret realm this time."

"Could it be that you are all from the same sect?"

Yu Changsheng gave a bitter smile; this matter could not be hidden anyway.

"Indeed, quite a few of those who entered this secret realm this time are from my sect." (End of Chapter)
