Chapter 514: Hunting the Sky-Covering Spirit Turtle
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but think of the map he had looted from the man from the Jiaochi tribe. On that map was recorded the habitat of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle, one of the three sacred beasts.
When Ye Changsheng was thinking about this, he heard the young man from the Crystal Clan say, "In fact, in addition to being able to resist heavenly calamity, these three sacred beasts also have many magical uses!"
"For example, the inner elixir of the golden lightning lion can help people cultivate the divine power of thunder. Once one is obtained, most divine powers of thunder can be perfected. It goes without saying how important this sacred beast is to those who practice thunder magic."
“And the inner elixir of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle is also quite miraculous. If swallowed, it will have a certain miraculous effect on body refinement. But generally speaking, if those powerful people with profound cultivation really get an inner elixir of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle, they rarely use it to refine their bodies!”
"Because this is somewhat of a waste. The most amazing thing about the inner elixir of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle is that it can be used to refine instruments. The instruments made with it can naturally block all external detection. It is said that even the calculation of the divine secrets will be blocked!"
Upon hearing this, an astonishing light immediately flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes, and his heart was surged for a moment.
"This trait is even more important for the major powerful clans. After all, which clan doesn't have some secrets that they don't want any outsiders to discover?" the Crystal Clan boy continued.
"What's so unique about the Nine-tailed Divine Crocodile?" Ye Changsheng calmed down his slightly excited mood and asked calmly.
"The flesh and blood of the Nine-Tailed Divine Crocodile can temper your spiritual consciousness. It is no exaggeration to say that if you are lucky enough to devour a Nine-Tailed Divine Crocodile of the same level, then your spiritual consciousness can increase by at least 30% within a hundred years!"
"Is it so against the will of heaven?" Ye Changsheng asked in great surprise, as if he was shocked.
"Haha, Brother Ye must be surprised too. When I first heard about the miraculous effects of the Nine-tailed Divine Crocodile's flesh and blood, I was also shocked for a long time."
"Speaking of which, among these three sacred beasts, the one I want most is the Nine-tailed Divine Crocodile. This sacred beast is really amazing!" said the young man from the Crystal Clan with a smile.
“But the Nine-tailed Divine Crocodile is also the least numerous sacred beast in the Thunder Continent. It is said that there may be less than five of them in the entire Thunder Continent!” said the old man surnamed Huang, shaking his head.
"Tsk tsk, what you two said made me look forward to catching one of the three sacred beasts!" Ye Changsheng touched his chin and said with emotion.
“Haha, with Brother Ye’s strength, as long as it’s not one of the three sacred beasts of the Saint Clan level, you can definitely hunt it down!”
"However, these three sacred beasts are not easy to provoke. Many sacred beasts lived with adult sacred beasts when they were young. Those adult sacred beasts are all Mahayana-level beings and are not easy to provoke!"
"That's why, although each of the three sacred beasts has such miraculous effects, only a small number of people in our Thunder Continent dare to hunt them. Most cultivators will avoid them from afar if they encounter them!" said the young man from the Crystal Clan.
"That's true. If I were to encounter an immature one of the three sacred beasts, I would also wonder if there was an adult one behind it."
"When I think of this, I will naturally stay away from them immediately!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"No matter whether it is the three sacred beasts or the eight strange beasts, they are all out of reach for us. By the way, I heard that Master Ming of your Crystal Clan has recently successfully refined a furnace of Wanmiao Pills?" As he was speaking, the old man surnamed Huang changed the topic to another side and asked the young man surnamed Bai.
…
Everyone had another conversation about the Wan Miao Dan. Ye Changsheng calmly discussed various things with the two of them, but he had already thought of other things in his mind.
After sending the two men away, Ye Changsheng closed the door of the cave and sat quietly in the training room with a pensive look on his face.
He flipped his palm and a jade slip appeared in his hand. The jade slip contained a map of the area where the Futian Spirit Turtle was located.
It seemed that the monk from the Jiaochi tribe had been planning for this matter for a long time, and he had investigated the living habits of the Futian Spirit Turtle very clearly.
Before, Ye Changsheng didn't care about this matter. He came to Thunder Continent mainly to improve his cultivation. Although the Sky-covering Turtle was full of treasures, Ye Changsheng had no intention of attacking it before.
However, after talking with these two cultivators from the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun today, he became interested in this holy beast.
The reason was very simple. He was attracted by the effect of the other party's inner elixir in isolating the secrets of heaven. If he could get this thing... maybe he could block the Helian Merchant Alliance from sensing the Heaven-Flipping Flag in his hand.
"This matter can't be delayed any longer. A hundred years have passed. There's a high probability that the Helian Merchant Alliance will soon come knocking on our door. We must resolve the issue of the Fantian Flag as soon as possible!" Ye Changsheng's face showed determination.
Not long after, Ye Changsheng left the cave and continued to leave Yuncheng. He flapped his wings behind him and disappeared.
…
Somewhere in the Thunder Continent, in front of a huge lake, Ye Changsheng's figure appeared.
The lake is surrounded by high mountains and steep cliffs, with lush green trees growing on the peaks. Below the mountains is a bottomless canyon filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, creating an aura of mystery.
In a certain direction of the lake, there is a dense forest. The forest is full of various huge trees. The treetops are towering into the clouds. Among the dense branches and leaves, some strange creatures appear from time to time.
There is a chilling atmosphere here, and the entire lake area is very mysterious and dangerous.
Ye Changsheng was standing in the dense forest at this moment, his eyes staring at the lake in front of him, with two pairs of wings flashing behind him.
At this time, he had already flown from the territory of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans to the habitat of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle.
The two pairs of wings behind him opened, ready to escape at any time.
If he were to encounter any irresistible danger, it should not be difficult for him to escape with his pair of Phoenix wings.
"Heavenly Spirit Turtle, I hope you won't let me down!" Ye Changsheng thought lightly in his heart.
He stared at the lake in front of him again and again, and suddenly, he began to move.
With a flick of his sleeves, one hundred and eight talismans flew out immediately, quickly arranged themselves around him, formed a formation, and then slowly sank into the void.
Nine Palaces Heavenly Qian Talisman!
Ye Changsheng took out this talisman array again.
After setting up the Nine Palaces Tian Qian Talisman Formation, Ye Changsheng immediately took out a jade bottle from the storage bracelet. He unscrewed the jade bottle, sniffed the breath inside, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
This is the saliva secreted by the Sanshen Insect found in the storage bracelet of the combined monk of the Jiaochi clan. It is the favorite thing of the Futian Spirit Turtle.
In order to capture and kill the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle here, the monk from the Jiaochi tribe had made all kinds of preparations and was just waiting for the opportunity to come here and take action.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by Ye Changsheng before he could even make a move, so these things became a bargain for Ye Changsheng.
Thinking of this, Ye Changsheng chuckled. He still had to thank the combined cultivator from the Jiaochi tribe.
Looking at the unfathomable lake in the distance, it is more like a vast ocean than a lake.
This lake is no less vast than the Chaos Star Sea in the human world. Asking him to search for the whereabouts of the Futian Spirit Turtle in such a vast lake is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It can only be fished out using the thing that the Sky-covered Turtle likes most.
Ye Changsheng placed the bottle of the Divine Insect's saliva into the Nine Palaces Tianqian Formation, and then he waved his hand, and a light purple talisman appeared in his hand.
Taiyi Huaqing Fu!
Ye Changsheng activated the talisman, and suddenly a purple mist rose into the air and wrapped him in it. Slowly, the purple mist disappeared, and Ye Changsheng's figure also disappeared from the spot.
The place suddenly became quiet. Apart from the jade bottle, there was nothing else, as if nothing had ever happened.
In this way, the aura emanating from the jade bottle continued to spread around under the influence of several talismans that Ye Changsheng deliberately added.
Ye Changsheng waited patiently.
This wait lasted for seven full days. Just when Ye Changsheng was considering whether to change direction and rearrange things, suddenly, there was movement in the lake in the distance.
There were ripples on the lake, and then a huge black turtle shell emerged from the water.
The turtle shell is several thousand feet wide. From a distance, it looks like a dark square suspended on the water.
On the surface of the tortoise shell, there are a large number of mysterious yellow lines that flow like living things, giving people a sense of mystery.
A roar was heard, and a huge head emerged from under the water. The head was extremely ferocious and looked extremely ugly.
On the face covered with pimples of all sizes, there are a pair of light yellow eyes that are very small in proportion, and there is a wild and greedy light in the eyes.
It raised its head and sniffed around, and an invisible wave emanated from its nose.
As the wave spread, Ye Changsheng immediately felt ripples spreading through his body.
This invisible ripple seemed to be exploring something, but when it hit Ye Changsheng, under the magical effect of Taiyi Huaqing Talisman, the ripple spread unhindered without being affected by anything.
After some investigation, the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle was sure that there were no foreign creatures around, so he floated over here with confidence.
The huge turtle shell seemed like a piece of land was moving, and soon this creature with a terrifying aura landed on the land.
“This cultivation level should have just entered the initial stage of fusion not long ago, but its combat power is probably comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of fusion!” Ye Changsheng hid aside, took a few glances at the sacred beast of the Thunder Continent, and thought secretly in his heart.
He stared closely at the movements of the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle, and before long, he saw it rush to the jade bottle where he had placed it.
Strictly speaking, this Sky-covering Spirit Turtle is not a reckless creature with particularly low intelligence. When it emerged from the water, it had already used a kind of innate magical power to explore the surroundings.
Normally, even a cultivator whose cultivation is several levels higher than its own cannot hide himself from its magical power.
No matter how wonderful the formation was, or how powerful the concealment methods were, they were useless, so the sky-covering turtle swam over without any hesitation.
However, what it could never have expected was that the people who ambushed it used talismans from the fairyland obtained from the Golden Palace Jade Book. With its innate magical powers, it was unable to detect the aura of these fairyland talismans at all.
When it rushed to the jade bottle, the trap was immediately activated. One hundred and eight talismans flashed in the void, and then a huge talisman formation was constructed, surrounding the Futian Spirit Turtle.
The holy beast immediately realized something was wrong, and let out a roar towards the sky . The mysterious ochre-colored runes on its shell began to move wildly.
A terrifying light burst out from its two small yellow eyes, and it charged to the side with unusual ferocity, immediately crashing into the talisman formation constructed by the Nine Palaces Heavenly Qian Talisman.
Suddenly, the talisman formation began to shake violently. At the same time, Ye Changsheng also felt the ground under his feet begin to shake, as if someone was shaking the earth.
Countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the surrounding mountains and rivers, and the ground became like the surface of water, undulating up and down, creating a series of "waves" that slammed towards the talisman formation.
When Ye Changsheng saw this scene, he immediately knew that this was the Futian Spirit Turtle activating its innate magical powers, intending to break through the talisman formation by attacking from both inside and outside.
He took action immediately, and a nine-section mace flew out from his sleeve. The nine-section mace emitted a light purple light, flew high up, and then smashed down with a bang.
A terrifying aura emanated from the Hunyuan Mace. Now that Ye Changsheng had entered the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, the power that this magical treasure could exert became even more terrifying.
Even a cultivator in the late stage of fusion would have to treat such an attack with caution and use all his means to defend against it.
But the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle seemed not to see it and ignored the Hunyuan Mace flying down from above its head, and just kept hitting the Nine Palaces Tianqian Talisman Formation.
"boom!"
When the Hunyuan Mace fell, the ochre-yellow lines on the surface of the Futian Spirit Turtle flashed, and a hazy yellow light curtain appeared, completely wrapping its body like a fetal membrane.
The Hunyuan Mace rushed forward with great momentum, but hit the wall directly and was bounced away with a loud bang.
Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng's eyes narrowed. This was the first time that the Hunyuan Mace had failed. This situation had never happened before.
The defensive power of this Sky-covering Spirit Turtle is no joke.
However, even though the Hunyuan Mace was useless, Ye Changsheng was not without other means to deal with the opponent.
He opened his mouth and a ball of silver light flew out, then turned into a silver firebird. It flapped its wings and appeared in the talisman formation.
In an instant, silver flames poured down from the sky, immediately surrounding the Sky-covering Spirit Turtle and burning its yellow fetal membrane-like protective shield.
