Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#479 - Dragon Turtle Cave

Crab Heaven, a Half-Step Beast Emperor, clasped his fist towards Li Chengfeng and said, "Thank you, young friend, for your strategic planning, which prevented a heavy loss of life for the Sea Clan.

During the sacrificial ritual, you allowed us experts to prepare in advance. Otherwise, our Crab Clan would have been the first to bear the brunt, and we would probably have been sacrificed."

Li Chengfeng responded with a smile, "This is all thanks to Senior Dragon Turtle. Even if I had gone to find you at that time, you might not have been able to cooperate with me.

It is because of Senior Dragon Turtle's reputation that everyone can trust each other and cooperate happily."

Crab Heaven frowned and asked, "Young friend, how can I thank you?"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "No need. The Great Ape King's storage ring is in my hands, and his Nascent Soul has also been captured by me. That's enough."

As he spoke, with a thought, a vortex surged on the seabed, and the Nine Great Blood Shadows dragged a Divine Tree to the surface.

"This is the Grains of Paradise Divine Tree, sealed by my Blood Shadows with a Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing technique, ensuring that it can continue to grow and not die.

Moreover, it can also be moved away. Such a method can only be accomplished by the combined efforts of the nine of us."

Crab Heaven said enviously, "Young friend Li, I truly admire you.

If I were really asked to give away this Grains of Paradise Divine Tree, I would really be reluctant.

Since you have taken it yourself, I have nothing to say."

Li Chengfeng moved his mind again, and the Grains of Paradise Divine Tree was taken into his Hell Space, suppressed above the Blood Pool, with countless blood energies transformed into chains tightly binding it.

The Nine Great Blood Shadows re-integrated into his body. They didn't dare to let the Grains of Paradise Divine Tree leave the Blood Pool's range. In reality, Li Chengfeng had sent it into the Hell Space.

He didn't explain much, because everyone has their own secrets, especially someone as powerful and mysterious as Li Chengfeng.

Crab Heaven, a Half-Step Demon Emperor, felt very reluctant, but he was also helpless. After all, if Li Chengfeng hadn't taken action this time, their Crab Clan would probably have been unable to escape their doom.

Li Chengfeng had been kind to them, and with the Old Turtle in charge, even if they had ideas, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. What Crab Heaven, the Half-Step Beast Emperor, was most wary of was that although Li Chengfeng's strength was not apparent, he could skillfully maneuver between the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan, making people afraid to easily become enemies.

Just imagine, if Li Chengfeng were to grow to the Half-Step God Transformation realm, he could kill him with a wave of his hand.

The Crab Half-Step Beast Emperor was extremely intelligent, but at this moment, he respectfully clasped his fist and said, "Senior Dragon Turtle, young friend Li, fellow Daoists from the Earth Treasury Temple, the affairs of my Sea Beast Clan also need to be arranged, and I need to return immediately to prepare.

The Sea Beast Clan cannot be without a leader. The position of Sea Beast King is vacant. Since the Great Ape King is gone, I am willing to temporarily assume his position and eliminate those Demon Clan spies who are eager to cause trouble."

Dragon Turtle nodded in agreement, "Go ahead, but don't be soft-hearted. You must clear out the internal troubles and prevent the Demon Clan and the Evil Dragon Clan from infiltrating again.

The reason I confronted them this time was to protect the peace of this place. Now that we have confronted them, we must never tolerate evil."

Crab Heaven, the Half-Step Beast Emperor, nodded, then plunged into the water, and hundreds of thousands of sea beasts followed closely behind, silently disappearing into the deep sea.

The three Divine Monks from the Earth Treasury Temple also stated, "We should also return. There are many affairs in the temple, and some people are injured and need care.

Young friend Li, are you traveling with us, or do you have other matters to discuss with Senior Dragon Turtle?"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Senior Dragon Turtle and I still have matters to discuss. Please go ahead, seniors."

The three Divine Monks nodded, and then stepped into the magic formation set up by Li Chengfeng with a group of monks. This formation can be used twice, in case of emergency.

Even if they encounter danger, the monks of the Earth Treasury Temple can retreat completely. It can be seen that Li Chengfeng takes good care of them, and Li Chengfeng's thoughtful arrangements made the monks very grateful.

After the two gradually moved away, blending into the vast sea of clouds.

The Old Turtle slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with wisdom and gentle light, and said to Li Chengfeng, "Young friend, please come with me to my secluded cave, where you and I can discuss the Great Dao and talk about the true meaning of cultivation."

After saying that, it walked steadily, with a calmness accumulated over the years, leading Li Chengfeng into that unknown secret realm.

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng raised a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both the frankness of being seen through and the expectation of unknown challenges.

"Senior has discerning eyes, and I admire you. To be honest, this junior is indeed approaching the threshold of the mid-stage of Core Formation, but the path of cultivation requires caution at every step. I want to be steady and make steady progress in order to go far. This time, discussing the Dao with Senior is precisely to seek the true scriptures, in the hope of gaining insight and learning something."

The Old Turtle nodded in satisfaction, his whiskers trembling slightly, his eyes full of praise. "This child can be taught. He is calm and unhurried, which is rare.

The path of cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It needs to be gradual in order to reach the peak."

After saying that, the Old Turtle gently waved the ancient and simple scepter in his hand, and ripples appeared on the sea surface. A clear and mirror-like wave surged from the heart of the sea, enveloping the two of them, and instantly penetrated the deep sea, rushing towards the unknown seabed cave.

In an instant, the two had reached the darkest part of the deep sea, where a cave protected by both nature and formations appeared.

The vastness of the space inside the cave was breathtaking, as if stepping into the legendary Dragon Palace, resplendent and magnificent, yet without losing its natural charm. However, this vast place was only the Old Turtle's residence, which made it even more extraordinary.

The cave was exquisitely arranged, surrounded by formations, so that the pressure of the sea water outside, which was enough to crush gold and stone, was like a breeze here, without any effect.

What surprised Li Chengfeng even more was the medicine field all over the cave. Each spiritual herb exuded a faint fluorescent light, all of which were rare treasures that were hard to see in ten thousand years. Their medicinal fragrance permeated the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed, as if they were in a fairyland.

The Dragon Turtle laughed heartily, his voice with a bit of boldness and pride. "This place is the result of my many years of hard work. Since I have brought you here today, I regard you as a successor. If you need anything, just take it, no need to be polite."

Looking at the garden full of treasures, a trace of envy flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes, but he quickly regained his clarity. He said, "Senior is generous, and I am very grateful.

However, no matter how good the treasures are, they must be used according to one's ability. I will be bold and only ask for one thing to help me cultivate."

As he spoke, he pointed to a seemingly inconspicuous black mud in the distance, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Hearing this, the Dragon Turtle's expression changed slightly, but then returned to normal, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Young friend, you really have a unique vision. That piece of mud seems ordinary, but it contains ten thousand years of essence, and it is an excellent substrate for cultivating spiritual herbs.

Since you recognize this treasure, you are destined to have it, just take it."

Although he said that, a trace of heartache could not help but flash in the Dragon Turtle's eyes, obviously this mud was also very important to him.

Seeing this, Li Chengfeng laughed secretly in his heart, but he also admired the Old Turtle's open-mindedness and generosity even more. "Senior, don't worry, I will cherish every resource and will definitely not let Senior's efforts go to waste."

Li Chengfeng knew very well that although his Life Realm space was planted with spiritual herbs, it was insignificant compared to the scene in front of him. He had an idea, if he could move this mud to the Life Realm, cultivating spiritual herbs would surely be twice the result with half the effort.

So, without hesitation, with a thought, a huge whirlwind instantly swept away the mud, leaving not a single bit behind.

Seeing this, the Old Turtle's face changed slightly, and he scolded with a smile, "Little guy, you are really welcome, and you are really ruthless."

Li Chengfeng replied with a smile, "Didn't Senior say that I am the hope of the Dragon Turtle Clan? Since I am the hope, you should be more generous."
