Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1199: Stories Of The Old Turtle

When Feiyun arrived at Saint Nuwa’s shrine, he came across Yun Ge who was de-feathered by the blood dragon.

The latter waited for the water to boil before cooking the bird to make a delicious soup. Fortunately, Feiyun arrived to save it.

He fed it a golden pill and its feathers grew back, neater and more beautiful than before.

“Don’t tell Jingyue.” He threatened.

Yun Ge circled above him and said: “I will tell her and she’ll teach you a lesson, I will tell her and she’ll teach you a lesson...”

Black lines appeared on Feiyun’s forehead, clearly annoyed. He gestured by glancing at the blood dragon and turtle.

The trio surrounded the bird again, scaring it into submission. It nodded and stopped speaking.

“Miss Jingyue, we found Yun Ge.” The turtle respectfully handed Jingyue the bird as if it were a tiny chick.

“Thank you.” Jingyue’s smile disappeared when she saw Fengyun.

“It’s nothing. Jingyue, tonight’s a full moon and I heard there is a heavenly river in Chaos City, connecting the ground to the stars above. Would you like to...” He leaned against a tree, enjoying the breezes and the falling leaves.

“I’m busy tonight.” Jingyue said: “And I’ve heard that you’ve already invited Fairy Jiutian to come with you, you can enjoy her company riding that boat up the river. You best not miss this chance.”

“You won’t be jealous?” He asked.

“I wouldn’t let you go if I were jealous.” She smiled before disappearing into a shrine at the top of the mountain.

He wanted to chase after her but thought that it would be improper. The shrine was a place for women and nuns to cultivate.

He decided to stay by the dao platform, hoping to train and see Saint Nuwa’s dao avatars again. Unfortunately, this was of no use.

Comprehension became harder at his current level - a gradual process without any dao fortune.

He took out the stone from the World Destruction Tablet. It was heavy despite only being the size of a fingernail.

The surface looked strange like codes of heaven and earth. His phoenix gaze couldn’t solve them.

Terrifying images appeared in his head - an ocean of corpses, meteors falling from above, lava surging from the ground.

His hand became frozen after a split second.

It might be the real thing, damn, how did the ultimate weapon from Time Immemorial break? Who could do something like this? And with what weapon?

Feiyun couldn’t stay calm. He had been searching for the tablet since the truth behind the invaders and the past was written on it. Moreover, Immemorial Phoenix had left behind a prophecy along with the locations of the seven spirit vessels.

Finding the tablet was essential to gaining the trust of the current big shots from all races. They would then take the threat seriously.

However, what would he do if the tablet was already destroyed? Find all the pieces?

If it had broken down to ten thousand pieces, Feiyun alone couldn’t gather all of them before the arrival of the invaders.

I have two options, the first is to find Saint Nuwa if she is still alive. Given her cultivation and prestige, all clan masters will follow her call.

The second option is to find the tablet, the only proof of the invaders’ existence, it will unite everyone.

Alas, both options were difficult. He didn’t believe that Saint Nuwa was still alive.

He gazed at the celestial river and saw a boat floating upward. He missed the appointment and sent Mao Laoshi to deliver the news to Fairy Jiutian.

“Turtle, have you heard of the World Destruction Tablet?” He asked.

The turtle was trying to learn the dao on the platform, albeit with a strange pose with its head touching the ground and its tail raising upward.

After the help of the flute saint, its aura became increasingly ancient and mysterious. Its shell had more runes than ever before, appearing clearly under the moonlight.

Feiyun saw it had entered a state of zen and didn’t wake it up. He focused on the runes instead.

“Hmm?” He had never paid attention to the runes before until now.

“On the 38th year at the Ji’s ancestral hall, the heaven and earth bestowed twins upon...” Feiyun recognized the turtle’s writing regarding the birth of the Ji sisters.

However, the rust stains beneath the characters interested him more. He turned the heavenly essence into a sharp dagger, wanting to remove the rust.

Alas, after some fiery sparks, it only left a shallow mark. It didn’t scratch the outer layer of the rust.

“Damn, what are you doing?!” The turtle woke up from its meditation and realized that its tail was being held by the dagger-wielding Feiyun.

“Nothing.” Feiyun unsummoned the dagger and let go.

“Bullcrap, I saw your knife.” The turtle said.

The blood dragon and the fruit came over after hearing the commotion.

“I saw the rust on your shell and wanted to clean it for you.” Feiyun said.

The turtle looked at its shell and said: “The rust stains have followed me for a long time, they’re old and are symbols of my greatness.”

Feiyun felt that the rust layers were hiding something. Even heavenly gaze and divine intents couldn’t see through them. This was created on purpose, not stains accumulated with time.

“You said that a curse turned you into a turtle, I don’t think the shell was part of you, where did you get it?” He asked.

The turtle stood straight and posed with both hands behind its back: “Yes, I was a brilliant genius once, capable of untold feats. A curse reduced me to this but fortunately, I found this unbreakable shell from hell and escaped through the path of reincarnation, the fact that I’m alive is due to good karma.”

“You found it in hell?” He asked again.

The turtle stared at him contemptuously and elaborated: “I could go anywhere I wanted during my prime, brat, do you think I’m lying?”

“I’m just asking if the shell is from hell or not.” He shook his head.

“I was unstoppable during my prime.... Fine, stop giving me that look, I admit I stole it from the grave palace.” The turtle said.

“Do you know who cursed you?” He asked again.

The turtle looked at the sky and sighed: “I was unbeatable, second to none, but after reaching a certain level, it became hard to break through, so I went to Spirit Immortal World. That turned out to be a terrible decision.”

“Spirit Immortal World?” Feiyun was surprised.

“Boss, I didn’t know you were such a badass.” Even the blood dragon was shocked.
