Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 877 - 361: Turtle Millennia

"It has been a long time since I performed a divination with the Nine Palaces trigram, so I am unaware of what is happening outside... May I conduct a divination?"

The long-lived Tortoise sought Lady Hong Guan’s opinion.

The "Bitter Ghost" is the largest hall in the Yellow Field Prefecture, and as the Second Master of the Bitter Ghost, Guan Niang’s words carry significant weight in this Water Domain.

Lady Hong Guan sneered, "Tortoise, it’s not that I look down on you... Even if you perform the divination, you will find that some things cannot be divined."

During the Chess Game of Heaven and Earth, Mingjiang Prefecture was completely sealed by the chessboard, even the incense fire Taoist couldn’t enter, so what can you divine?

"When Lady Guan speaks, her words weigh more than a thousand pounds. You say that I cannot divine, so I cannot divine. As for how the Dun Jia brought calamity, and the ins and outs of it, I would trouble Lady Guan to expound upon it."

"It is easy to explain, easy to explain."

A Bitter Ghost disciple brought over a chair, placing it on the deck. Guan Niang immediately sat down, crossing her legs, and said coldly, "There is a person in the Dun Jia Sect, called Zhao Qingxiao. Do you know him?"

"Of course, a rare genius in Dun Jia." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Heh, do you know what good deeds this genius has done in Mingjiang Prefecture?"

Lady Hong Guan then recounted the events within the Chess Game of Heaven and Earth, how Zhao Qingxiao utilized the Dragon Prison Array to attempt to crush Mingjiang’s Traveling God Department, and how he conspired with Star Covering to massacre Mingjiang Prefecture...

The long list of misdeeds made the long-lived Tortoise sigh in frustration; he was helpless and never imagined that the Dun Jia would collude with the Buddha Country and push for such a colossal slaughter.

"In Mingjiang Prefecture, there was a great master named Zhou Xuan, who was no small figure, being a direct disciple of the Tao Ancestor. He used the Gorge True Scripture to consecutively defeat Star Covering, Gong Zheng, and Zhao Qingxiao. Your so-called genius Zhao Qingxiao was reduced to Yin and Yang energy and scattered across Mingjiang’s Heaven and Earth."

Upon hearing Lady Guan mention Zhou Xuan, the long-lived Tortoise felt that things were slightly peculiar, so he said, "Lady Guan repeatedly mentions this great master and speaks of him with much praise. You suddenly come to question me, but I suspect it’s not the wine you’re after, but rather this great master."

The long-lived Tortoise immediately guessed the intent behind Lady Guan’s visit.

Guan Niang didn’t hide or withhold anything, saying, "The great master’s Dunjia Incense has already been fully repaired, but he is not very familiar with the path of Dun Jia. He needs someone to teach him, to guide him."

"No way."

The long-lived Tortoise shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No way... That great master of Mingjiang Prefecture is too famous, and too far from my dwelling, producing clam pearls in the river.

Inside the Turtle God Water Village, there’s a group called the Merfolk. These Merfolk have six gills on their cheeks and can stay underwater for an entire day.

These Merfolk collect clam pearls daily, selling them to big merchants."

"One day, I heard the Merfolk working in the water talking about an amazing talent that emerged from Mingjiang Prefecture, named Zhou Xuan, who, with a sixteen-style move, angrily beheaded the three-headed stone Buddhas of Buddha Country, learning at such a young age the strongest Divine Image in tattooing—the Mountain and River Map."

"This amazing individual is indeed the great master."

Guan Niang did not deny it.

"If that’s the case, then I have nothing good to say."

The long-lived Tortoise said, "Between me and the Tattoo Master of Peng Town, there is an immense grudge. Their disciples won’t obtain a single style from the Dun Jia Hall through me, not even if it costs my life."

"Even if you don’t guide the great master, that’s understandable, but... you’ll have to give up something."

Lady Guan got to the point.

In truth, she understood that asking the long-lived Tortoise to teach Zhou Xuan was unrealistic. Her trip to the Turtle God Water Village was not to find a mentor for Zhou Xuan.

Her true goal was the long-lived Tortoise’s "turtle shell."

Disciples of the "Dun Jia" Hall require a Turtle Shell Magical Artifact.

Much like the Bone Teeth of the Tattoo Masters.

Logically, there are many turtle shells in the world, and not few possess spiritual attributes; however, she believes that only the long-lived Tortoise’s turtle shell is worthy of the great master.

"Hand over your turtle shell."

The fingers of Lady Hong Guan hooked, her red robe swaying in the water, pressing the long-lived Tortoise further. She continued, "The Dun Jia Nine Incenses caused chaos in Mingjiang Prefecture. It’s impossible for the great master not to seek revenge. Mingjiang’s Traveling God and Ping Shui You Shen won’t swallow this resentment either.

If you hand over the turtle shell, when the Dun Jia Hall falls, the great master will spare you. If you don’t hand it over..."

"So you’ll act today to forcefully strip my turtle shell?"

The long-lived Tortoise viciously stirred the deep water with his front legs,

A dozens of meters high water wall rose above the water fort, reaching the edge of Lady Guan’s boat.

Yet the towering water wall ultimately didn’t surge down but remained still, as if frozen, due to Lady Hong Guan’s Water Control Technique.

Lady Hong Guan waved her hand lightly, and the water wall dispersed, pouring down as rain, adding a sorrowful atmosphere to the confrontation.

"When did you enter the Eight Incenses?"

The long-lived Tortoise finally understood where Lady Guan’s confidence stemmed from.

Guan Niang gazed coldly into the long-lived Tortoise’s eyes and said, "After meeting the great master. Long-lived Tortoise, I advise you kindly; don’t refuse a toast only to drink forfeit. Look up at the sky."

The long-lived Tortoise stretched his neck and looked towards the Heavenly Dome, seeing a Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree with blossoms in full bloom suspended in the sky.

Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree—the highest faith of Peng Town,

"Is it... here to steal the turtle shell as well?"

"The word ’steal’ is too harsh. We are merely looking for the Dun Jia Hall’s disciples to demand repayment... Hand over the turtle shell..."
