Chapter 781: Turtle Occupying Turtle Shell
“I knew this would happen! As expected, this seemingly honest thing is actually so crafty.”
Zong Shou sighed as he shook his head, stepping on the shell.
He looked short and weak, giving off no light at all. However, at this moment, he exuded immense strength, tens of times more than he weighed.
After the Spirit Realm, power couldn’t be measured in kilograms and stone. Instead, it was measured in terms of mountains. Naturally, not normal mountains, but the Sumeru Mountain of Buddhist legends.
It was said to be 33,000 feet tall and made of natural glass.
The Pure Land of Amitabha was said to have 10,800 of them, each weighing one billion and three thousand kilograms.
Initial Spirit Realm Cultivators normally had the strength of 1 mountain. They could lift up 3 Sumeru Mountains, a case of using strength to pull the mountain and rivers. In the late stages, one would have the power of 9.
However, Zong Shou was different from normal cultivators. His foundations had reached the extreme before he faced the tribulation. His Sword Intent Realm also broke through to the Spirit Realm.
His Dual Meridian Body, each set of parallel Chakra Meridians had 12 mountains of strength.
This also didn’t consider the fact that he was 50% Spirit and Martial Merger.
Stepping on the Turtle shell, it was unable to move at all.
“Why do you ask for this? I am the Ruler of a country. If you follow me, you will receive good food every day, that doesn’t sound bad does it?”
Naturally, it was super dangerous and it would have to help him blood blades…
The moment he said these words, Little Gold and Xiaori, who both hadn’t fully fallen into slumber yet, objected in his mind.
They both said that they followed him for several years, but were unable to eat anything good.
Zong Shou was instantly furious, scolding them in his thoughts: Then where did those metals and materials I collected go to?
He also scolded Xiaori, telling it to forget about sniffing his body from now on.
Suppressing the rebelling two beasts, Zong Shou looked down at the Turtle which was trying its best to struggle.
Its limbs continuously clawed at the ground, attempting to dig out a giant hole.
But, no matter what, it was still unable to get rid of the giant mountain on top of it.
Instead, the ground was unable to withstand the heavy weight and started to sink downward.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle’s body sunk downward. In the end, it was helpless and could only give up. It hesitated for a moment and then retracted its head, once again summoning Xuanwu Essence Energy, unwilling to surrender to Zong Shou just like that.
Zong Shou wasn’t worried and he reached out with his hand. A black blue light instantly charged out of the Beast’s body and entered his hand.
This was the Beast Pellet of the Xuanwu. At this moment, although the Giant Xuanwu Turtle had died at the hands of the Yin Dragon, this pellet was still shining brightly. The life in it hadn’t been reduced at all.
Zong Shou smiled, thinking about it for a moment and then he realized the reason.
The Xuanwu Turtle was raised and nurtured by the sincere hearts of millions of Taoist Faction disciples every day.
As the Taoist Faction Protector Saint Beast, it stayed within the Heavenly Place.
Half of the essence of its body was swallowed by the Yin Dragon, but there was still a portion that remained within this Xuanwu Turtle Pellet.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle belonged to the Xuanwu bloodline. This pellet was of huge help to it.
However, it was indeed a decent plan to use this to craft a Celestial Artifact.
Stepping onto the shell below his feet, his face became serious, his expression was dark and cold, “If you don’t come out, I might cook you and eat you!”
The body of the Xuan Turtle shuddered, but it didn’t move. More Xuan Ice formed on its outer shell.
Zong Shou laughed coldly, his legs using strength once more. He sent his Sword Intent to suppress the mind of the turtle.
“You shameless thing, do you still think that it is a month ago?”
He heard a cracking sound. This time, Zong Shou didn’t even need to use a sword as the ice layer was smashed!
Then the Nameless Sword hung on the shell. The Sword Glow swallowed and spat, breaking through the Body Protecting Energy of the Turtle and stabbing a small hole in its shell.
“Let me ask you for the last time, will you surrender or not?”
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle could also sense that its couldn’t block Zong Shou anymore. It didn’t hesitate to stick out its head.
Zong Shou smiled and placed the blood-colored mark on its head.
Then, Spiritual Sense charged into its mind and searched around.
The true name of the Xuan Turtle was just made up of two profound runes. Upon closer inspection, it was Gangying…
Zong Shou’s face twitched, hard and sturdy, what a good name!
He was speechless. He didn’t hesitate to spread out his Spiritual Sense even more.
It turned into small threads of small Spiritual Sense and charged into this name, stretching about. In just a moment, it formed a Spiritual Formation that locked down on the Soul Core of the Turtle.
The blood-colored talisman on its head also retracted.
It turned into a flame-like blood spot which was imprinted right at the center of its brow, just nicely connecting inside and outside.
Only when this step was completed, was it considered that he had recruited the Turtle. In the future, with just a thought, he could control its soul such that it couldn’t resist at all.
“Your true name cannot be told to others, in the future I will call you Little…”
The moment he said these words, he hesitated. He named too many of his pets starting with Little and it didn’t sound right. Looking at its body, how was it small? He changed his words, “I will call you Bluefire!”
Simple and obvious and also pleasant sounding.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle didn’t bother at all. With the pressure on its shell reduced, it continued to dash forward.
Zong Shou was at a loss. Apart from this pellet, was there anything else in the corpse that could attract it?
He saw that the Turtle had bit into the corpse of the Xuanwu Beast. It sucked dozens of mouthfuls of blood, swallowing the remaining Essence Blood and then tossing the corpse aside.
It actually separated the shell and corpse.
Then, it discarded it’s shell that Zong Shou had made holes in. With a flash, it was totally naked and drilled into the huge Xuanwu Turtle Shell.
Zong Shou’s mouth was agape, thinking to himself that this was possible too?
Their sizes were totally different and they weren’t born from the same body so what was the use even if it occupied the shell?
Just as he was thinking this, the Xuan Turtle stretched its head out and looked at the pellet in his hand with deep desires.
After hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou threw the pellet in his hand over.
He wanted to see what exactly this turtle was up to.
Seeing this, the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was delighted. It swallowed the black and blue light into its mouth.
Then, it retracted its head back into the Xuanwu Turtle Shell.
In just a moment, Zong Shou felt that the sky changed.
Tribulation Energy caused by the Lightning Winged Dragon suddenly started to swell and increase!
Zong Shou raised his head and looked at the sky. He saw a white glow land down and split into two.
Only an extremely small portion shot toward the Lightning Winged Dragon. A large portion went right for the Xuanwu Turtle Shell.
Zong Shou’s brow instantly rose up. The turtle was actually facing its Celestial Realm Tribulation?
Speaking of which, it was actually at the peak of the Spirit Realm and was just one step away.
It was most probably the Beast Pellet which helped it take that step.
He couldn’t help but feel excited. To be able to watch this Celestial Realm Tribulation at such a close distance was really a decent experience.
After all, he had already stepped to the Late Spirit Realm and was not far away from the Celestial Realm.
In maybe just 10 years, he would be able to take this step.
Using his Spiritual Sense to feel, a bright glow flashed in his eyes.
“Vast Lightning Body Destroying Tribulation…”
This tribulation was said to specially target the body. It was recorded several times in books of the Common People’s Path.
It was ranked third in Celestial Realm Tribulations. In the 10,000 years of the Common People’s Path, only one person managed to survive with his life.
It seemed like this Turtle was either Super talented like him or it did many bad things and was hated by the Heavens.
The white glow fell and hit the Xuanwu Turtle Shell. It wrapped around the shell creating a sound that made one’s tooth feel sour, however, it couldn’t find a way to enter.
After a short while, it slowly disappeared. A portion spread out in Heaven and Earth while a portion was absorbed by the shell.
Following closely behind was the second and third Body Destroying Tribulations which struck down.
The Turtle was still perfectly fine, on the contrary, a ball of blue fire raged and burned outside of the shell.
Zong Shou sensed closely and moments later his expression became weird.
“So that was the case. Using the power of the Lightning Tribulation to merge with this Xuanwu Shell? This Turtle might look stupid, but its intellect is really surprising…”
This Xuanwu Turtle Shell was not something the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle’s own Shell could compare to.
20,000 years of accumulation, spending every day in the Heavenly Place, with God Power nourishing it, naturally the shell was really strong.
During the battle just now, the God Realm Yin Dragon’s claw couldn’t even leave a mark. From this, one could see how strong it was.
If not for the sneak attack on its weakness, his Yin Dragon had a higher chance of losing.
At this moment, the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was using the Xuanwu Pellet to attack both inside and outside along with the power of the tribulation. It was chasing away the remnant soul of the Xuanwu as well as merging the shell with its body.
If it succeeded, then no Celestial Realm Expert would be able to deal with it…
This was why he said that the Turtle was really smart. It was much better than using the pellet and flesh of the God Realm Xuanwu to raise its own cultivation.
What Zong Shou was paying attention to more was the power of the Tribulation Lightning. At this moment, he had broken away from the connection with the Heavens and couldn’t look directly at the tribulation lock.
However, he had a rough idea of the strength of the tribulation.
Using this as the foundations to predict his future Celestial Realm Pellet Forming difficulty.
He wasn’t loved by the Heavens and the Tribulation he would go through would probably be top three, if he was unlucky…
Thus, it was his good fortune to be able to witness this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle go through this Lightning Tribulation!
“With my current strength, I have 90% confidence that I will survive this. The second one isn’t difficult. But, if it is the Withering Life and Death Tribulation which is said to be the top Celestial Realm Tribulation, then it would be a little worse…”
Waiting quietly, after 10 minutes, the Tribulation Energy finally calmed down.
