Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 990: Chapter 306: Gui Xu (6)

The palm-sized sea turtle appeared confused for a moment, then suddenly opened its mouth to swallow the surrounding crimson divine soul power like a whale!

As the crimson divine soul power was devoured, its body instantly expanded tens of thousands of times!

In just a few breaths, Shen Chongming’s Purple Mansion Dao Palace was occupied by a terrifying giant turtle, squeezing both his Divine Sense Body and Thunder Pool Spirit aside!

The giant turtle’s soul body emanated a terrifying evil qi, its fierce eyes fixed firmly on Shen Chongming and the Thunder Pool Spirit!

Roar!

In a moment, the giant turtle let out a soul-shaking roar and then charged at them!

While dodging, Shen Chongming also controlled the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, forming law chains to try and bind this violent giant turtle soul body.

However, this turtle’s cultivation level in life must have reached the peak of the Purple Mansion, and with its long lifespan, its soul was extraordinarily strong and resilient!

Although the law chains from the Purple Mansion Dao Palace successfully bound it, the turtle’s struggle began to show signs of breaking the chains.

Frightened, Shen Chongming hurriedly let it go.

The law chains are his comprehension of the laws; if they are broken by this giant turtle, it could lightly injure his divine spirit, or heavily render years of effort wasted.

“Look what you’ve done!”

Watching the Thunder Pool Spirit running wild in the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, Shen Chongming couldn’t help but scold.

The Thunder Pool Spirit also had an aggrieved expression.

“How was I to know the Sea Soul Crystal would be so fragile, shattering with a light touch.”

“And inside, such a troublesome spirit was hidden…”

“Enough nonsense, think of a solution quickly.” Shen Chongming said helplessly: “If this beast continues to wreak havoc, my Purple Mansion Dao Palace will be torn apart.”

“You won’t have a place to live then…”

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Pool Spirit couldn’t accept that its long-awaited home was being destroyed by a beast, and it dashed into the Thunder Pool.

“Kid, give me a hand, chase this beast out!”

The Thunder Pool Spirit’s voice came from the Thunder Pool, as bolts of thunder suddenly shot out, forming thunder chains that bound the fierce giant turtle!

The paralyzing effect of the thunder made the giant turtle’s soul body tremble, its roar echoing incessantly.

At the next moment, Shen Chongming also reacted, immediately using the law chains of the Purple Mansion Dao Palace to assist.

The two forces combined, slowly dragging the giant turtle soul body out of the Purple Mansion Dao Palace.

Yet outside the Purple Mansion Dao Palace was his dantian, he couldn’t let this creature wreak havoc in his dantian!

While Shen Chongming was worrying, a supreme aura suddenly emanated from above the Thunder Pool within the Purple Mansion Dao Palace!

Immediately, under the astonished gaze of Shen Chongming’s Divine Sense Body, an ethereal, nearly invisible transcendental figure appeared above the Thunder Pool.

In a daze, Shen Chongming only saw that the person wore a purple robe with gold patterns, a gauze cap on their head, with a sword in the right hand and a golden decree token in the left.

The golden decree token suddenly emitted a golden light.

As the golden light flew out of the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, it directly entered the struggling giant turtle soul body outside the Dao Palace.

The giant turtle let out a piercing scream and suddenly seemed to regain its sanity, bowing outside the Dao Palace, filled with utmost humility and fear.

Shen Chongming gazed in astonishment at this scene, unsure of what to do next when the voice of the Thunder Pool Spirit reminded him: “Kid, place the Purple Mansion Dao Palace on its back!”

Shen Chongming was startled at heart, still somewhat perplexed, but chose to trust the words of the Thunder Pool Spirit.

At the next moment, as his mind slightly moved, the Purple Mansion Dao Palace within the dantian instantly shifted to the giant turtle’s back!

Crack!

Crack!

Several azure chains formed by thunder emerged from the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, wrapping tightly around the giant turtle’s body, binding the Dao Palace and it together firmly.

With the anomaly dispelled, Shen Chongming, somewhat dazed, asked: “What’s going on now?”

He found himself walking further down this unconventional cultivation path.

His Golden Core was represented by a peculiar Thunder Pool, and now the Purple Mansion Dao Palace was sitting on a giant turtle’s back.

What cultivator’s dantian would have such an eerie situation?

The Thunder Pool Spirit emerged from the Thunder Pool, observing the surroundings and finding nothing amiss, waved its hand and said: “Don’t obsess over these things, just tell me how you feel now.”

Feel?

Shen Chongming carefully perceived, discovering neither his body, divine spirit, nor cultivation seemed to have any problems.

The Thunder Pool Spirit chuckled mischievously: “Isn’t it fine as long as there’s no impact?”

“Moreover, the presence manifested above the Thunder Pool just now was a remarkable being, who enlightened this giant turtle for you, which is beneficial, not harmful.”

Shen Chongming wanted to ask the Thunder Pool Spirit about the figure that appeared above the Thunder Pool.

But he figured the answer would be either not knowing or “I’ll tell you later.”

Having experienced the previous heavenly might and this journey to the Sea God Eye, they felt the Thunder Pool Spirit had recalled many secrets.

But these secrets were either too significant or not yet fully understood by it.

It did not take the initiative to inform Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming didn’t pursue it either; he knew very well that some things were better left unknown.

“Forget it, stop messing around, we need to leave quickly, find a deserted place, and retrieve these Sea Soul Crystals to store them in the Storage Bag.”

Shen Chongming spoke.

His true fear was the Thunder Pool Spirit would act up again, crushing a few more Sea Soul Crystals, causing chaos in his dantian later.

After the Thunder Pool Spirit promised with a pat on its chest that it would not act recklessly, it dove into the Thunder Pool.

And Shen Chongming’s consciousness returned to his body.

Only then did he discover that the cultivators in the surrounding sea area had nearly all left.

Within his sensing range, only about a dozen scattered cultivators remained, searching the surroundings, perhaps hoping to find overlooked Sea Soul Crystals.

Shen Chongming didn’t delay further and immediately controlled the flying boat to soar away.

But just as the flying boat flew over a thousand miles, he sensed a faint, elusive aura sneaking behind him.

The Divine Sense of the Purple Mansion Realm quietly scanned, and his face suddenly showed a hint of killing intent!

“Truly courting death!”

In his perception, the void several hundred miles behind him indeed contained a flying magical artifact concealed in aura following him from afar.

And the figure on that flying magical artifact was none other than the three late Golden Core cultivators who had previously competed with him for the Fetal Breathing Sea Soul Crystal.

Apparently, the “exhaustion” of the Sea God Eye had caused their gains to diminish, and now they had their sights set on the Fetal Breathing Realm Sea Soul Crystal in Shen Chongming’s possession.

Shen Chongming understood well that the root reason for their malicious intent was initially not choosing to seize their territory, nor retaliating during one of their attacks, opting instead to withstand it.

In the eyes of the three, these were all signs of weakness.

The three believed that with their joint efforts, they could handle Shen Chongming, who was a “Loose Cultivator of Golden Core Perfection Realm.”

Upon detecting their presence, Shen Chongming pondered for a moment, then immediately used the Divine Sense of the Purple Mansion Realm to scan the surrounding sea area within a thousand-mile range, confirming no other cultivators were present besides the three, he began to gradually reduce the speed of the flying boat.

“After following me for so long, shouldn’t the three of you show yourselves?”

As his words fell, a hundred miles away, the void suddenly twisted, and a strange black sailboat gradually emerged.
