The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 256 - 159 Aging Turtle_2

"Are you the Turtle Immortal?"

The man opposite her was clearly startled, then chuckled: "That’s an interesting title. No, I am not him, just a wisp of his Divine Thought. The Dragon Turtle himself perished over ten thousand years ago." There was no hint of sadness in his voice, as if he was talking about something that had happened to someone else. This magnanimousness truly impressed her. "However, young lady, I need you to tell me, where is Lord Shaking Heaven?"

"Right here!" She pointed to herself, "I am the current master of the God Demon Prison. Changtian is locked up at the bottom of the prison, unable to move. We’re trying to figure out how to get him out." As she finished speaking, an idea struck her. Lately, Changtian had been weak and feeble, and she was at her wits’ end, but this old turtle had lived for tens of thousands of years and surely had extensive knowledge. Maybe he could help. She then detailed everything that had happened since she took over the God Demon Prison and encountered Changtian.

She was not without her own motives, especially exaggerating Changtian’s current weakened state, making the Ba Snake seem worse off than even an earthworm in her story. Changtian, listening from the depths of the prison, had veins throbbing on his forehead, wishing he could pull her over and spank her until her butt bloomed.

The Turtle Immortal listened with a smile and after a long ponder, he said: "The way to rescue him from the God Demon Prison is probably limited to either finding the True Form of Ba Snake or the Nanming Lihuo Sword. I passed away over ten thousand years after him, and never heard of a better Sharp Gold Sword coming into existence."

"Then is there a way to fix his current weakened state? Otherwise, he won’t even make it to the west before his body falls and his Dao disappears!" This old turtle seems young but has quite an obstinate personality!

The Turtle Immortal thought again, making her almost impatient, before finally saying: "Yes!"

He spoke leisurely: "There are one hundred and eight turtle pearls conceived in the belly of my true body, transformed from a lifetime of Divine Power. Excluding those used to maintain my physical body and the operation of this small realm, I can give him thirty. If he agrees to one condition from me, I’ll give him the pearls."

She was overjoyed and about to nod her head frantically. However, Changtian, from within the God Demon Prison, yelled angrily: "Stop your babbling! It’s already a considerable favor that I’m offering you a Direct Disciple, and you dare to bargain with me?" His tone was extremely impolite.

Now it was her turn to translate, and she relayed Changtian’s words to the Turtle Immortal without missing a single detail. The latter wasn’t angered and just squinted his eyes with a smile: "Indeed, that’s Lord Shaking Heaven’s tone. Young lady, you didn’t deceive me, that’s very good, very good."

Ning Xiaoxian was frustrated. This old tortoise was so suspicious. Had she been speaking for nearly an hour for nothing?

"Where is the Direct Disciple you were going to offer me?"

She hurriedly picked up Wen Liangyu and placed him on the ground. Without waiting for her instructions, he stood up straight and chirped twice towards the Turtle Immortal.

The Turtle Immortal curiously said: "Eh? Is this actually a pure-blooded Di Tudi? Where did you find this little one? He’s truly a fine seedling to inherit my mantle." The talents of the Di Tudi are famed throughout the world for their intelligence and aptitude in arts and knowledge.

She briefly recounted Wen Liangyu’s life story. Changtian said coldly: "You’ve gone to your grave without finding a successor. Aren’t you afraid of dying with regrets if you don’t take him? I reckon your Divine Thought can only last for another three hundred years at most."

So rude! Yet the Turtle Immortal had such good composure that he didn’t get angry, simply nodding: "I do intend to take a disciple, but you must agree to my condition. Lord Shaking Heaven, we’ve been acquaintances for over ten thousand years. How could I not know that aside from finding a successor for me, you also came for the turtle pearls to extend your own life?"

Ah, her Lord Shaking Heaven indeed never makes a losing deal! With his aloof and cold nature, he was willing to expend a huge amount of Divine Power for Wen Liangyu, whom he had only known for a short while, undergoing the Blood Exchange Secret Technique. This was puzzling to her. It appeared that he had planned this all along. Indeed, as an ancient creature who had lived for tens of thousands of years, he was always plotting for his own safety.

The turtle pearls condensed by the Dragon Turtle’s Divine Power would suffice for him to use for a while, wouldn’t they? Her mood instantly brightened, but then Changtian abruptly said, "I disagree!" frustrating her to the point of nearly jumping up.

Changtian scoffed: "Your true body is already dead; what can you do to stop me from taking the turtle pearls? I’m going to take all of these one hundred and something pearls. Let’s see what you’ll have to say then!"

The Turtle Immortal laughed heartily: "If you were to come here personally, I’d have no choice but to present them to you with both hands, but now you’re also trapped in the God Demon Prison, unable to come out, right? Even though I am just a wisp of Divine Thought right now, the idea of forcibly taking the turtle pearls with just this young lady here is wishful thinking!"

After a while, Changtian huffed, apparently conceding that the Turtle Immortal’s words were not an exaggeration, and he said to Ning Xiaoxian: "Let’s go." He was ready to leave without the turtle pearls.

What the heck, does he have to be so principled?! Can you eat principles?!

Ning Xiaoxian said urgently: "Why won’t you agree? You didn’t even listen to what his condition is!"

Changtian replied dully: "I don’t care to listen!"

The Turtle Immortal sighed deeply: "Having been in prison this long, yet your temperament hasn’t calmed down one bit. Lord Shaking Heaven, I don’t ask for anything else, but if you ever manage to break out of the God Demon Prison one day, could you please spare its life?"

Who are they talking about, what is their relation to Changtian? Ah, she was dying of curiosity, who could extinguish the blazing fire of her burning gossip?

Changtian was livid: "Don’t even think about it!"

Well well, he’s a prisoner and he has to listen to the Prison Chief! Ning Xiaoxian nodded vigorously to the Turtle Immortal: "No problem, I’ll agree on his behalf!"

"Ning! Xiaoxian!" Changtian nearly squeezed her name out through his clenched teeth, seemingly on the verge of losing it. (To be continued.
