Su Jingzhen’s mind was a whirlwind of excitement and confusion.
He carefully examined the tortoise shell that had materialized in his Sea of Consciousness several times.
The patterns on it were extremely complex and profound.
Whether he used his physical eyes or his divine consciousness to explore it, Su Jingzhen was at a loss.
Not to mention, he didn’t have the slightest clue how to understand the Immovable Tortoise Seal from it.
He felt that something crucial was missing.
Dao Rhyme!
Even the few spiritual lines on the back of the black tortoise beneath his feet carried a powerful Dao essence.
This essence was the key to understanding and mastering the divine abilities it represented.
He subconsciously asked again, “Suzhen, didn’t you manage to detect the Dao Rhyme from his mind?”“Do you think I am some kind of god?
With a simple soul search, how can I replicate the Dao Rhyme that someone else has comprehended?”
Bai Suzhen’s answer left Su Jingzhen speechless, his mouth slightly agape.
Then Bai Suzhen continued, “And why are you panicking? You’re going to the Luo River Basin anyway.
You’ve already made enemies with the Tortoise Sect, and you’re acting under the guise of a Heavenly Dragon. If the Heavenly Dragon people are as supportive as they seem, you’ll surely gain a significant position in their ranks.
Then you can find a reason to visit the Tortoise Sect and see their ancestral tortoise for yourself. Wouldn’t that be the perfect opportunity to understand it?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you just steal their cultivation method?”
“You really baffle me. One moment you’re as cunning as a fox, and the next you’re as stupid as a donkey.
Before we searched their souls, it would have been great if we could have obtained their cultivation methods directly.
But now that we have this assumption, if the Tortoise Sect really has that ancestral tortoise, and if its shell really has a primordial divine ability.
Why would you want to follow someone else’s understood cultivation method instead of experiencing it yourself?
Everyone’s perception is unique. The same thing when understood by different people will produce different results.
If you can reach that point, why not comprehend the one that suits you best directly?”
As she spoke, Bai Suzhen’s tone was filled with disdain.
Su Jingzhen scratched his head, deeply impressed and enlightened by Bai Suzhen’s words.
After all, compared to someone like Bai Suzhen, a seasoned expert, he was still a novice in many aspects of the cultivation world.
“If that’s the case, then the Tortoise Sect will have to endure some inconvenience in the future, even for the sake of the primordial divine ability of ‘Immovable Tortoise Seal’ that they possess,” he muttered to himself.
Then, as if struck by an idea, he glanced at Bai Suzhen who was coiled around his waist.
“Suzhen, you mentioned earlier that some divine beasts naturally possess primordial divine abilities.
Given our relationship, could you let me observe your primordial divine ability?”
Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with unprecedented anticipation.
At present, the only techniques he had mastered that were suitable for his cultivation were the Python Scale Power and Divine Wandering that Shuang Jiang had given him.
Both of them were mainly focused on cultivation and lacked offensive capabilities.
He desperately needed an offensive divine skill that could effectively utilize his own vital energy.
Beasts were similar to human body cultivators.
Most of their primordial divine abilities, when understood, were very applicable to body cultivation.
Previously, he had received many inheritances from the Dantai Ruins.
However, they were mostly related to alchemy.
Even though there were various spells and techniques, they were all focused on qi cultivation.
Now, although his dantian had been repaired, he had no plans to improve his qi cultivation, so those techniques were useless.
If he could acquire one or two attack divine skills that matched his body cultivation, his fighting style would no longer be limited to the most basic brick smashing.
His combat power would increase significantly.
But as soon as he made his request, he suddenly felt the air in the stone chamber grow colder.
It was as if he was under a watchful eye.
Bai Suzhen simply replied, “Do you want to die?”
Su Jingzhen: “……
You don’t want to show your transformed form, and you don’t want to show your primordial divine ability. How stingy…”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
Bai Suzhen’s words clearly expressed her attitude.
He did not dare to push the matter any further.
After all, his cultivation was still in its early stages.
If he were to die at Bai Suzhen’s hands, there would be no one to defend him.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen jumped off the black turtle.
He then picked up the tortoise’s body.
He walked over to the still trembling Xuan Yuan and the other elder.
“I have a question for you. Answer me truthfully,” Su Jingzhen said, his tone calm yet authoritative.
From the moment the Tortoise Envoy died, the fear of Xuan Yuan and the other elder had reached its peak.
They had basically given up hope of surviving.
When they heard Su Jingzhen’s words, they saw a glimmer of hope for their lives.
Su Jingzhen asked directly, “What is the purpose of the large tortoise you are raising at the Qingzhou branch of the Tortoise Sect?”
He felt that he could simply interrogate those Tortoise Sect members to verify Bai Suzhen’s suspicion.
Under the pressure of life and death, he was confident that they would tell the truth.
However, upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s question, the eyes of Xuan Yuan and the other elder showed a moment of genuine confusion.
“‘Your Honor, this black tortoise has always served as the guardian divine beast of our Tortoise Sect.
It intervenes when our sect faces a crisis,” Xuan Yuan stammered, lacking confidence in his words.
Su Jingzhen raised his eyebrows. These men really did not seem to know the true purpose of the Tortoise.
Bai Suzhen’s earlier guess seemed to be very close to the truth.
“Spare us, Great Lord. These events have nothing to do with us.
We are just ordinary disciples of the Tortoise Sect,” Xuan Yuan and the other elder pleaded as they prostrated themselves on the ground, their fear overwhelming.
However, Su Jingzhen had no intention of killing them.
He needed some survivors to make it easier to investigate the Tortoise Sect in the future.
Looking around, the spiritual vein of this misty swamp had already been collected by him.
The guardian of that spiritual vein, the Black Flood Dragon, though its origin and presence in Qingzhou were unknown, it was indeed delicious.
The necessary measures had been taken against the Tortoise Sect, and the big tortoise had been killed.
For Su Jingzhen, this was the end of his visit to the Tortoise Sect.
However, his curiosity about the Immovable Tortoise Seal continued to grow.
Before leaving, Su Jingzhen condensed the Tortoise Shell that Bai Suzhen had formed in his Sea of Consciousness into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
“Little Green, take a look at this for me…”
