Chapter 50 North Sea Black Turtle
In the Kunpeng Palace of the Northern Sea, Kunpeng sat cross-legged on a cloud bed.
As the evil corpse "God-Slaying Taoist" unleashed its attack, the magical power within his body surged once again like a river bursting its banks. The barrier of his cultivation realm that had always blocked him was now easily pierced, like a windowpane.
Mid-stage Quasi-Saint!
Moreover, because he cultivates both the Three Corpses and the Laws simultaneously, his foundation is far more profound than that of others of the same level.
"With the two corpses of good and evil severed, the mind of the Dao becomes clear and unobstructed."
Kunpeng slowly finished his practice, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed to control the world and even challenge the Dao itself, and his heart was filled with clarity.
At his level, simply closing himself off for arduous cultivation would hardly yield any progress. Only by traveling through the primordial wilderness and comprehending the great trends of heaven and earth could he find a glimmer of opportunity to attain the Dao and achieve the Primordial Chaos.
"On a whim, it seems there's an opportunity in the North."
Kunpeng's brow twitched slightly, and he made a calculation with his fingers, but all he saw was a chaotic and unclear heavenly secret.
But he trusted his intuition.
With a flicker of his figure, Kunpeng left the training ground, without taking the two attendants with him. Alone, he strolled across the icy plains and vast ocean of the Northern Sea like an ordinary mortal.
This departure lasted for tens of thousands of years.
He witnessed the ebb and flow of the tides in Beihai and observed the birth and death of glaciers.
Until this day, when he traveled to the deepest part of the North Sea, to a dark abyss where even sunlight could not penetrate.
"Um?"
The Kunpeng paused, its gaze piercing through the billions of feet of water, looking directly at the seabed.
There, he sensed a terrifying fluctuation, ancient, vast, yet filled with chaos and resentment.
That aura was so powerful that it actually reached the Quasi-Saint realm!
"There are actually such powerful figures in the North Sea?"
Kunpeng was surprised, and his figure instantly disappeared into the sea.
As they continued to descend, the surrounding water pressure increased, and the light disappeared completely, replaced by endless darkness and silence.
Finally, at the very bottom of the abyss, Kunpeng saw that enormous creature.
It was a giant, indescribably enormous black tortoise!
Its size is so large that it is several times larger than the true form of the Kunpeng, which spans thousands of miles!
It lies quietly on the seabed, its limbs resembling four ancient divine mountains, and its back like a floating continent, upon which countless strange marine plants grow, forming an independent ecosystem.
The black tortoise had its eyes closed and was in a deep sleep.
Even in its slumber, its thunderous breathing still stirs up the undercurrents of the surrounding sea for billions of miles.
"North Sea Black Turtle————"
The moment Kunpeng saw the giant tortoise, a long-forgotten memory resurfaced in his mind.
This tortoise has an extraordinary origin. It is the remains and flesh of three thousand chaotic demons who perished when Pangu created the world, combined with the evil energy of creation and the origin of the North Sea.
Because of his heavy background, he carried the resentment of the Chaos Demon God. Therefore, although he was born with quasi-saintly power and his physical body was comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch, he was never able to take human form. Even his intelligence was muddled and he was asleep all day long.
In the original timeline, the fate of this black tortoise was extremely tragic.
In the future, Gonggong angrily struck Buzhou Mountain, causing the pillar of heaven to break, the earth's axis to collapse, and the Milky Way to overflow.
After Nuwa mended the sky, in order to support the four poles of heaven and earth and prevent the sky from collapsing, she found this black tortoise, cut off its four legs, and used it as a pillar to support the sky.
This black tortoise had never done anything evil in its life, yet it suffered this undeserved calamity, dying and disappearing, only to be reborn as a true spirit.
"Is this your destiny?"
Kunpeng looked at the sleeping giant beast, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
In the past, he might have directly attacked and killed the creature, absorbing its abundant blood and flesh essence to enhance his cultivation.
But now that he has reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, simple devouring is no longer of much use.
On the contrary, the enormous karma carried by this black tortoise, if used properly, might become a key piece in his future plans to accumulate merit for Nuwa's patching of the sky, or even to fight against the sages!
"Very well, since we've met, it must be fate. Today, I'll be a good person and help you get through this."
Kunpeng took a step forward and arrived in front of the Xuan Turtle's huge head.
"The pure white lotus cleanses the soul!"
With a wave of his sleeve, the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus appeared out of thin air, casting down countless holy and flawless purifying rays that went straight into the Xuan Turtle's brow and sea of consciousness.
"roar-!!!"
The sleeping Xuan Turtle seemed to have suffered a great shock, and suddenly let out a painful roar.
Its massive body struggled violently, and the resulting tsunami surged out of the sea and soared into the sky.
The white lotus light was frantically eroding and purifying the chaotic resentment and demonic lingering thoughts that had been entangled for countless eons deep within its sea of consciousness.
This is an extremely painful process, akin to scraping the bone to remove poison.
But as time went on, wisps of black resentment and smoke continued to emerge from the Xuan Turtle's body and dissipate into the seawater.
The black tortoise's originally murky and violent eyes gradually became clear.
I don't know how much time passed.
When the last trace of resentment was completely purified.
The black tortoise finally stopped struggling. It slowly opened its eyes, which were as big as the sun and moon, and looked at the tiny green-robed Taoist in front of it.
This time, its eyes were no longer filled with ignorance and wildness, but with the light of wisdom, gratitude, and awe.
"Waaah————"
The black tortoise let out a low groan, the first time since its birth that it had truly possessed a complete sense of self.
"Thank you so much—thank you so much for your guidance, Immortal!"
A profound and ancient divine thought wave entered Kunpeng's mind.
Kunpeng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "Now that you have gained wisdom, you should be aware of your own situation."
"Although you have an extraordinary origin, you are limited by this physical body and cannot transform into human form, let alone seek the Great Dao. Moreover, you are burdened with a huge karmic calamity that will lead to your death. If you do not resolve it, you will surely suffer a terrible disaster."
"A fatal calamity?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuan Turtle's enormous body trembled slightly, and a look of terror appeared in its eyes.
Although it has only recently awakened its intelligence, as a quasi-saint level being, it has a natural sensitivity to life, death, fortune, and misfortune.
It could sense that what Kunpeng said was true; the gloom hanging over its fate was indeed suffocating it.
"May I ask, Immortal, what calamity befalls me? And how can I avert it?"
The black tortoise lowered its head, adopting a submissive posture, and spoke in a humble tone.
Kunpeng didn't hide anything and said frankly, "In the future, there will be a great calamity that will break the pillars of heaven and earth and cause the sky to collapse."
"At that time, a sage will step in to mend the sky, but the four corners of the earth will need pillars to support them."
"And your limbs are the perfect material to support the sky!"
"At that time, your four legs will be severed, your body and soul will perish, and your millions of years of arduous cultivation will have turned into nothing but a pie in the sky!"
"What?!"
The black tortoise was horrified. It never imagined that its death would be caused by being turned into a pillar!
"Please, immortal, save me! Please, immortal, save me!"
The black tortoise panicked completely, its massive body repeatedly bowing its head, stirring up huge amounts of mud and sand.
"If only the immortal could save my life, this little turtle would serve the immortal as my master for all eternity, to be his ox or his horse, with absolutely no disloyalty!"
Kunpeng looked at the terrified giant beast and nodded slightly: "There is only one way to break this deadly calamity."
"That is—She!"
"Would you really be willing to give it up?" The black tortoise was taken aback.
"good."
A glint of light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, and his voice was as resounding as the Great Dao: "Your physical body is too strong, and your origins are too heavy. This is your talent, but also your shackles."
"As long as you remain in this physical body, you will never be able to transform into human form, and you will never escape the fate of having your feet cut off to support the sky."
"The only way to survive is to voluntarily abandon this physical body!"
"Abandon the physical body?!" The Xuan Turtle felt a great pain in its heart, for this was the foundation upon which it had cultivated for countless eons.
Don't be reluctant to part with it.
Kunpeng said coldly, "If you choose to disintegrate yourself now, your primordial spirit and true soul will still remain. I can help you reincarnate and cultivate again, and prove the Great Dao once more."
"Besides, since this physical body is destined to support the heavens, why don't you offer it up willingly?"
"When that time comes, you will be a great hero of heaven and earth! Your merit in supporting the heavens will be enough to give you a strong foundation in your next life, boundless blessings, and you may even have the chance to ascend to the Primordial Saint position!"
"This is a tremendous opportunity that will allow us to survive even in a do-or-die situation!"
