Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Wang Mie snorted coldly: "That Da Sheng Meng Zhi is just bragging."

"The statue hasn't changed at all. Do you think someone has been here before?"

"I guess that the Great Sheng Fierce Beast was trapped on the first floor, and eventually it was thrown out after some condition was triggered."

"However, it was Lin Tianhao who didn't show up, which surprised me."

"I initially thought Lin Tianhao had already come in, but now it seems he hasn't. Could he still be outside?"

Hu Ruhai speculated, "Did something happen to him?"

"impossible!"

This possibility was directly rejected by Wang Mie.

"In this secret realm, there is probably no one who can threaten Lin Tianhao, so how could he possibly encounter any misfortune?"

"The greatest possibility is actually the most dangerous!"

"How is that possible?"

Wang Mie said with a solemn expression, "It is very possible that Lin Tianhao, like us before, has been hiding somewhere all along."

This guess was indeed very likely, and it made everyone present tense.

If Lin Tianhao is indeed hiding outside, there can only be one purpose: to wait for them to bring out what's inside so that Lin Tianhao can then seize it.

Who will be able to stop them then?

This possibility cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Yu Changsheng said, "Forget it, what's the point of thinking about this now? Whether we can get what's here is another matter. Let's go."

Yu Changsheng led the way in one direction, and the others had no choice but to follow.

The content of the second trial was still unknown when the group arrived at an altar.

The altar was very tall, almost ten meters high, and was constructed of layers of steps. It was surrounded by statues of various mythical beasts.

Each statue is very tall, imposing, and lifelike.

It's as if you can feel the power of these statues themselves.

The group was also captivated by the statues, as they were all exquisitely crafted.

"Are these all the sacred spirit beasts that Grandma possessed?"

"If these are all sacred spirit beasts, then what is the altar that they can surround?"

After observing the altar for a long time, Hu Ruhai suggested, "Should we go up and take a look?"

"It seems there's nothing down there."

Yu Changsheng also felt that only by going up could he possibly solve the mystery of this level, so he went up as well.

Each step of the altar was a full meter high, clearly not intended for humans, but for the group, climbing it was effortless.

Yu Changsheng arrived at the top of the altar and found that it was also covered with many patterns.

Others arrived one after another and began to observe from the ground.

"These patterns seem to tell a story?"

Yu Changsheng also arrived at the end of the pattern, where one side seemed to be a four-winged spirit beast with huge wings.

On the other side was a hornless dragon-shaped spirit beast.

The two spirit beasts stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.

Hu Ruhai said, "These two spirit beasts don't seem to be on the surrounding statues. Moreover, the two spirit beasts are facing each other, seemingly in a state of enmity."

"Could it be that the surrounding spirit beasts are also there to watch the battle between these two spirit beasts?"

Yu Changsheng said, "It seems that the patterns on this altar are depicting events from back then?"

"It seems that the ancient Dragon Palace declined because of internal strife. The conflict between these two most powerful spirit beasts led to the Dragon Palace's downfall?"

Wang Mie nodded and pointed to a spot on the ground, saying, "Look here."

"It seems to be a little person?"

Several people gathered around to examine it. The little figure was only depicted with a few simple strokes, like five tree branches pieced together to form a person.

However, it is still possible to tell that it is humanoid, and there are quite a few around it as well.

Some of the small figures were holding a lot of weapons and were surrounding the area.

"These seem to be humans watching? It seems that humans were also watching the battle between these two spirit beasts back then."

Clearly, the altar depicts a scene from the battlefield of yesteryear.

But looking at the patterns on the altar, there was no mystery to be found.

After reading it, Yu Changsheng was still completely confused and had no clue what to do.

"This altar doesn't seem to have anything special about it. Could the mystery lie with those statues?"

Wang Mie said, "In that case, let's split up and check if there's anything wrong with those statues."

The group then split up, and Yu Changsheng got up and went to the location of one of the statues, which was an enormous bear-like spirit beast.

Two heavy bear paws were raised high, almost as tall as the altar, and the gaping maw let out a silent roar.

Yu Changsheng looked around but didn't see anything special.

It's just an ordinary statue.

Looking at the others, it seemed the same; nothing was discovered.

Yu Changsheng jumped onto the giant bear's head again, and right in the giant mouth, he suddenly discovered a gap.

On the giant bear's tongue, there seemed to be a small notch deliberately left, and Yu Changsheng found the notch somewhat familiar.

He immediately took out his own insect talisman and compared it, and found that it matched perfectly.

"I've made a discovery!"

Yu Changsheng immediately called over the others.

Upon inspection, the group confirmed that it was indeed a place used to store insect talismans.

Wang Mie said, "So that's how it is. It seems that all these statues should have these gaps. I'll go check the locations of the other statues."

When the group returned and took a look, sure enough, each of the statues had a notch the size of an insect symbol in its mouth.

The result is quite obvious: the insect talisman needs to be placed on top.

Hu Ruhai was about to take action immediately.

"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's put them up at the same time, and we might be able to break through this barrier. This barrier is far too easy."

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Hu Ruhai was about to take action, Yu Changsheng suddenly shouted.

But Hu Ruhai still placed the insect talisman in his hand at the gap.

The next second, the stone statue beneath Hu Ruhai suddenly moved.

"roar!"

As the insect talisman was inserted, the stone statue immediately came to life. Its skin began to crack, and pieces crumbled and fell away, revealing what lay beneath.

However, the interior of this statue is not the spirit beast itself, but a strange white gel-like substance that emits faint golden light patterns.

Hu Ruhai screamed in terror, trying to push the white monster away, but it slapped him across the face.

Hu Ruhai was sent flying backwards like a meteor, his mouth and nose slammed shut, and he lost consciousness in mid-air.

He only woke up in pain when he fell heavily to the ground.

However, this also seriously injured him, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level.

Hu Ruhai quickly took out healing pills to treat his injuries.

Unexpectedly, the white monster charged straight at them.

Hu Ruhai shouted, "Help me!"

Seeing this, the others rushed over as well, and a long spear suddenly appeared in Wang Mie's hand.

With a firm grip, the spear instantly glowed with golden light and shot towards the white monster.

But the white monster completely ignored the attacks of the others and charged straight at Hu Ruhai.

A sense of impending death gripped Hu Ruhai. "Ah!"

Hu Ruhai let out a strange cry, threw out a defensive magic weapon, and spat out a mouthful of blood on it.

The defensive magic weapon instantly enlarged, rising above its head to block the white monster's attack.

boom!

The white monster fell instantly, slamming heavily onto the defensive magic weapon and shattering it into pieces.

Two enormous claws slammed directly onto Hu Ruhai's head.

Splatter! Blood splattered, and bits of meat flew everywhere.

Hu Ruhai was smashed into a pulp, a scene that sent a chill down the spines of Yu Changsheng and the others.

Hu Ruhai died just like that?

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

Before the group could even begin to mourn Hu Ruhai, the white monster had already set its sights on them.

Yu Changsheng immediately summoned the other beasts.

"Control his movements and work together to kill him!"

Countless vines rose from the ground, pinning the white monster's feet to the ground.

Chen Xueqing unleashed a magical ribbon from her hand, which instantly enlarged and went straight to bind the white monster's arms.

With his hands and feet entangled, Wang Mie seized the opportunity, and once again drew his golden spear, unleashing a full-force attack.

The spear pierced his body, but no blood flowed out.

But this also pinned the white monster firmly to the ground.

Yu Changsheng also saw the reality and unleashed the full power of the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword in his hand.

"The Primordial Sword of Creation!"

The sword energy swept across, splitting everything in its path in two.

The white monster was also cleaved in two, instantly turning into a pool of white liquid that flowed onto the ground and soon disappeared.

As the white monster dissipated, the altar began to tremble slowly and a layer of it collapsed.

Yu Changsheng and the others were panting heavily, although they hadn't exerted much effort in this battle.

Even seeing the blurry, bloody mess on the ground still left me feeling lingering fear.

"This guy's death was really unexpected."

Yu Changsheng approached Hu Ruhai and, with a flick of his wrist, pulled a storage bag from within the flesh and blood into his hand.

With a burst of magical power, all the messy things on it were shaken away.

Without batting an eye, he put the storage bag away.

Wang Mie and Cai Chen Xueqing simply rolled their eyes and didn't say anything more.

They wouldn't even bother with something like this.

What is truly important is the altar.

Yu Changsheng sighed, "Brother Hu, may you have a safe journey."

Yu Changsheng had a very good impression of Hu Ruhai, but he never expected him to die so suddenly.

"Alas, it was fate after all. I bury you here, may you rest in peace."

After Yu Changsheng buried the pile of flesh and blood, he erected a huge stone on it and carved the words "Tomb of Hu Ruhai" on it.

Wang Mie said, "Hehe, Yu Changsheng, I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person."

Yu Changsheng said calmly, "We were just strangers who met by chance. Perhaps we could have become friends in times of trouble in the future. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Brother Hu left us suddenly, which has left me with deep feelings. I'm erecting this tombstone to commemorate him."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's check the condition of the altar first."

Wang Mie didn't ask any more questions, and the three of them went to the altar.

Only then did they realize that the altar had only descended one level, with nine levels still remaining on the ground.

Wang Mie was taken aback. "Could it be that to start this trial, all ten levels of the altar must be lowered?"

Yu Changsheng counted and found that there were indeed nine stone statues. Including the one they had just dealt with, there were exactly ten, which corresponded perfectly to the number of insect talismans.

"The problem is, there are only four of us who came in, it's impossible to gather ten people."

"Besides, Leng Xu and that Great Sheng Fierce Beast were already unable to enter again, but their insect talismans are still outside."

"There's no way we can gather ten insect runes; this is a statue that needs to be fully activated unless..."

"Unless what?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the insect talisman in his hand.

"Unless a single insect talisman can be used multiple times. By the way, check the location of that statue to see if any insect talismans have been left behind."

However, when the three of them went over to take a look, they did not find any insect talisman in that place. It seemed that once the insect talisman was activated, it would completely merge with the statue.

"If all else fails, we'll have to use up the insect talismans we have. Maybe things will change here."

Chen Xueqing also said, "It seems that this is the only way for now."

Yu Changsheng arrived at one of the statues, weighed the insect talisman in his hand, and said, "Are you all ready? Once I release the talisman, join forces to kill it."

The two naturally understood that they had already prepared themselves and were ready to strike at any moment.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng no longer hesitated.

He placed the insect talisman on the white statue, and the statue immediately began to change.

Yu Changsheng quickly pushed aside and landed near his three tamed beasts.

The moment the statue's outer shell shattered, revealing the original white monster's true form.

The three of them attacked simultaneously.

Countless vines immediately entangled around it, and Chen Xueqing also controlled the ribbons to block the white monster's escape routes from two wind directions.

Wang Mie threw his golden spear the instant the white monster was attacked.

The white monster was pinned firmly to the ground.

Yu Changsheng immediately struck again and killed him.

The three had become quite adept at teamwork, and after dealing with the white monster, they joined forces to kill the other two white monsters.

In this way, the altar also descended four levels.

However, the three of them also used up all the insect talismans.

Wang Mie arrived at the altar. "Do we really have to use all ten insect talismans? But the problem is, we can't get out of here. Are we going to be trapped here?"

Yu Changsheng also frowned.

"Since it's a trial, it's impossible to set a trial that can't be passed. There must be other tricks to this level."

Yu Changsheng arrived at the altar, glanced at it a few times, and then came up to the top of the altar once more.

The moment he arrived at the altar for his premarital examination, the altar suddenly emitted light.

It enveloped Yu Changsheng completely.

Wang Mie and Chen Xueqing were both startled and quickly pushed him away.

Chen Xueqing used a ribbon to pull Yu Changsheng out.

But as soon as the ribbon got close to the light, it was quickly turned into dust.

"Oh no, Yu Changsheng is trapped inside." Chen Xueqing looked worried, but could only stand aside and fret.

Wang Mie gritted his teeth, though he didn't care about Yu Changsheng's life or death.

But at times like these, losing even one member of their force increases the danger. (End of Chapter)
