Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

This time, the Myriad Manifestations Sect sent a total of forty-four people.

These are all the best of their respective peaks. Interestingly, only Yu Changsheng, Zhang Tianwen, and Li Minghan from the Beast Taming Peak made an appearance, while the Sword Taming Peak had the most participants.

This also reveals the current ranking of the five peaks of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

At present, besides Yu Changsheng being able to quickly adapt to this environment filled with bloodthirsty energy, there are other people who also require Yu Changsheng's attention.

Over the years, it was none other than the people Ruan Hao brought this time, who were nearly a hundred years old and whose cultivation levels ranged from Pseudo-Core to Core Formation. With the advantage of their cultivation levels, their adaptability was naturally better than that of the others.

"After resting for a while, we made some simple arrangements here to serve as our base."

Just as Yu Changsheng was observing them, they also saw him and were somewhat surprised. However, none of them said anything.

One of them, dressed in the attire of the Imperial Sword Peak, with a faint air of authority in his brows, glanced at the crowd and nodded.

Yu Changsheng had an impression of this person. He was from Yujian Peak and his name was Zhao Xiaodong. He was one of the few Golden Core experts from the Myriad Manifestations Sect who came this time. He was also ninety-nine years old, which was within the age limit.

If we're really going to be precise, he's a generation older than everyone else, so according to etiquette he should be called "Shishu" (a respectful term for a senior or junior master).

Yu Changsheng had no objection to what Zhao Xiaodong said, so he took the lead and started taking things out of his storage bag to set up this place as a temporary base.

As for the others, those who had recovered also contributed their efforts to help, while those who hadn't quite adjusted yet also improved their complexions considerably under everyone's care.

"This Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm has seen countless people perish throughout history. In addition, the unique rules of this place cause the blood and fiend energy to constantly gather and not dissipate, which is really unfriendly to those whose souls are unstable or who have been injured."

Zhang Tianwen followed Yu Changsheng, helping him build a temporary house, and shook his head, muttering something under his breath.

"Fortunately, the spiritual platform also has the function of stabilizing the soul. The more spiritual platforms one has, the less afraid one is of being impacted by the bloodthirsty energy in this secret realm. The environment here itself limits some people with poor talent."

Zhang Tianwen spoke softly, glancing back at Yu Changsheng with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng smiled slightly, and suddenly realized why he was basically unaffected by the impact of the bloodthirsty aura. Besides his powerful divine sense, he also had the nine-layered spiritual platform.

Before long, the group had finished setting up the stronghold. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaodong was obviously prepared. He took out a pre-prepared array plate from his storage bag and turned it into an array to cover the area, isolating it from the outside world.

The bloodthirsty aura was also largely isolated, and the other disciples with slightly weaker cultivation levels had almost recovered. They looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on Zhao Xiaodong and the others.

Those who can participate in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm are all geniuses from various peaks, but here, cultivation level is the only true measure of success. Therefore, Zhao Xiaodong and his group naturally became the backbone of the group.

Zhao Xiaodong pondered for a moment, looked up at everyone, and said after some thought:

"If things seem alright, then let's work together and explore the surrounding area first. I just observed that the bloodlust energy here is actually the least compared to other places."

"Once you've settled in, a few of you can come with me to eliminate any potential dangers in the surrounding area."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed without objection, and several people stepped out from the crowd to follow Zhao Xiaodong. These were mostly the chiefs of their respective peaks.

Yu Changsheng and the others thought for a moment, and after some contemplation, said to Zhao Xiaodong:

"Before I came here, I inquired about the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm. Its unique environment has given birth to many rare spiritual herbs that can only be born in the Blood Fiend Land."

"Some of them are consumed by us cultivators, which can greatly increase our resistance to this bloodthirsty energy and help us better adapt to the environment. The Fiend Jade Flower is one of them."

This information is not something that ordinary people would know, but it was all explained in the jade tube that Chen Yang gave him.

"Yeah?"

Zhao Xiaodong was taken aback upon hearing this and gave Yu Changsheng a deep look.

"Um."

Yu Changsheng nodded, his fingers tracing the shape of the Demonic Jade Flower in the air.

"Okay, everyone should keep an eye out then."

Zhao Xiaodong nodded, said nothing more, and left with the others. Yu Changsheng and Zhang Tianwen exchanged glances, but did not follow them. Instead, they led Li Minghan and the others to the other side.

"The trip to the secret realm will only last half a month, so hurry up. How much you gain here depends on yourself."

After sensing the map in his mind, Yu Changsheng turned around and smiled at the two of them. Although the map Chen Yang gave him only showed the first level and was incomplete, it still saved them a lot of time.

As for following Zhao Xiaodong, Yu Changsheng had not considered that. Although they were all from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, they inevitably had their own thoughts.

If there are no conflicts of interest, it's fine. But if some unexpected opportunity comes along, they might turn on each other in the next second. This kind of thing is all too common in the cultivation world.

Zhang Tianwen and the others naturally had no other objections, so the group, including Yu Changsheng, Zhang Tianwen, Li Minghan, and Shen Xingchen, left first.

"These people are really confident. They've only just entered the secret realm, and they've already rashly broken away from the group? Aren't they worried about encountering people from the Xuan Yin Sect or other dangers? No one's even come to help them."

Watching Yu Changsheng and his group leave, some disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect who were standing next to Zhao Xiaodong sneered.

"I remember them. Yu Changsheng and Zhang Tianwen, plus Li Minghan, are all from Beast Taming Peak. This time, only the three of them came from Beast Taming Peak."

"Zhang Tianwen is practically useless. As for Yu Changsheng, he has some strength, but with such a hasty and reckless approach, how far can he go? As for Li Minghan, he's just average. The only strange thing is that Shen Xingchen actually joined forces with them."

As Zhao Xiaodong listened to the crowd's discussion, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes. He remained noncommittal, glancing briefly at Yu Changsheng and his group before shaking his head and leading them in another direction.

In recent years, the Beast Taming Peak of the Myriad Manifestations Sect has been the most declining, so it's normal for them to look down on it. As for Yu Changsheng, although he has some fame, he has never shown his true combat strength within the sect. What they pay more attention to is his alchemy skills.

Geniuses inspire admiration, but also envy.

Yu Changsheng was unaware of the thoughts of the people behind the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

With the help of a partial map in their minds, Yu Changsheng and his group moved very fast, quickly covering hundreds of miles in a short time.

Beneath my feet lay an endless expanse of red plains, only the distant blood-red mountains appeared larger as we drew nearer.

"The Crimson Plains... is one of the few relatively safe places within this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm. It is vast and has been completely plundered over the years."

"If you want to gain something, the Bloodfall Mountains ahead are a good place, but there are also many dangers there."

Recalling the information in their minds, Yu Changsheng led the way, followed by Zhang Tianwen and the others. They did not stop for about an hour. Finally, a flat plain began to undulate, and at the edge, a faint red mist rose from the earth, connecting heaven and earth.

"The blood-fiend aura here is much denser. According to the introduction, the denser the blood-fiend aura, the greater the possibility of the existence of evil spirits."

Yu Changsheng paused, glanced back at the crowd, and after Zhang Tianwen and the others nodded to him, they stepped into the area without hesitation.

Instantly, a thick aura of bloodlust transformed into waves of spiritual impact, surging towards the crowd, accompanied by faint echoes of murmured ghostly wails.

Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness trembled, and his nine-layered spiritual platform rippled. Instantly, a vast power emanated from him. With a flash of golden light, his eyes were momentarily dazed, but he quickly regained his clarity and his expression returned to normal.

Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen only felt uncomfortable for a moment, their faces turning pale for a instant, before they recovered.

Li Minghan's performance was slightly worse, but fortunately, with Yu Changsheng's divine sense protecting him, he was not seriously injured.

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

"This place is already considered part of Falling Blood Mountain."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment. Under the suppression of the dense bloodthirsty aura, his divine sense was also affected to some extent, and the range of his perception was reduced to a certain degree.

However, it still holds a significant advantage, and the surrounding red mist can only exist within the perception of the divine soul, and does not affect the field of vision.

"According to the map, there are quite a few evil spirits in this Bloodfall Mountain, as well as some rare and precious natural treasures, which are quite useful to us."

A glint flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes. He took a deep breath and led everyone to get up and move.

Li Minghan and the others naturally had no objections. Only Zhang Tianwen looked at Yu Changsheng at the front with a hint of regret in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Unbeknownst to them, the original center of attention among the group had gradually shifted towards Yu Changsheng. This scene had already occurred when they witnessed Yu Changsheng single-handedly suppressing the Dark Flow Golden Core in Haoyue City.

"I need to form my core as soon as possible... I can't let my junior brother fall too far behind."

Shaking his head, Zhang Tianwen let out a soft breath, his resolute gaze replaced by determination, and continued forward.

The land undulates, and after transitioning from plains, the surrounding desolate terrain is gradually filled with trees. They start out sparse, then become dense, and finally merge into a vast forest.

Yu Changsheng and his companions became more vigilant and slowed down. Looking at the misty fog ahead, Yu Changsheng's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a ball of flame leaped in his hand.

The next moment, the mist tore apart, and seven or eight figures, their bodies black and red, burst forth. These figures were dripping with blood, humanoid in appearance, but with blurred features and no hair. Only their murky eyes revealed a crimson light, containing a ferocious and bloodthirsty intent, radiating an astonishingly malevolent aura. They emitted sharp, mournful cries, and their claws charged menacingly towards the group.

As it appeared, frost quickly formed on the surrounding ground, and an invisible aura of malevolence assaulted everyone's minds.

"Demon!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes turned cold, and his hands moved without hesitation. As he formed a hand seal, a large sea of ​​fire erupted, and the surrounding cold air burned fiercely, spreading to the evil spirit in front of him.

The flames emitted astonishingly high temperatures, sticky and difficult to extinguish; even a tiny touch would cause a small spark to burst into boundless flames and explode.

As one's cultivation level increases and one's control over flames advances, even a casual attack still possesses considerable power.

"Waaaaah!"

The next moment, flames erupted, and deafening explosions echoed. The monstrous shadow struggled within the inferno, its body twisting and contorting as flames completely engulfed it. Its wailing cries, like the lamentations of ghosts, resounded incessantly. Finally, after a short while, the monstrous shadow was charred black and reduced to ashes.

A sliver of malevolent light shot out and into Yu Changsheng's area. The malevolent energy token at Yu Changsheng's waist trembled, and the number on it jumped from 200 to 220.

"Not bad, they're all comparable to the early Foundation Establishment stage. There are seven evil spirits in total, which added 20 points of evil energy."

Yu Changsheng glanced down at the evil aura tablet, then smiled and said to Zhang Tianwen and the others.

These evil spirits weren't very powerful, so dealing with them didn't take much effort.

"Hmm, it's better to be careful. The speed this fiend is unleashing is abnormal, and these things have no reason and don't know fear. If there are too many, it's really hard to say..."

Shen Xingchen nodded and spoke to Yu Changsheng. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a sword light condensed out of thin air, tearing through the void and slashing towards Yu Changsheng's back.

"Awooo...!"

Yu Changsheng turned around and saw a magnificent sword light accurately slashing at a towering tree behind him. The tree was not cut in half when it was cleaved in the middle, but instead, a strange ghostly face with a blood-red face and blood tears flowing from it appeared. It showed a pained expression and opened its blood-red mouth. Its wailing sound came from it.

"The ghost tree... it's really well hidden. If you're not paying attention, it's not easy to notice anything unusual."

Yu Changsheng was speechless and looked at Shen Xingchen with gratitude. Shen Xingchen shook his head, a solemn expression appearing on his face. He slowly looked around and a sword with a shimmering spiritual light, its entire body azure and gold, radiating a strong spiritual treasure aura and reflecting blood light, appeared in his hand.

The next instant, the forest shook, and the surrounding trees were uprooted one by one. The branches of the trees turned into tentacles, waving incessantly, and strange faces emerged from the center of the tree trunks, revealing eerie smiles to the group.

Black blood dripped continuously from the tree trunk, thick malevolent energy permeated the void, and in the shadows, ghostly figures swayed. The malevolent spirits were restless and ready to pounce.

"It seems we've entered the Ghost Forest."

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, and seeing this, chuckled softly and spoke. (End of Chapter)
