_3 803: Chapter 212: National Fate… Dragon Turtle!
_3 Qing didn’t know how long he had slept until the White Tiger Ruin and Baiyun Palace were thoroughly merged, leaving no barriers or entrances.
It was then that Qing half-awoke.
Upon waking, he didn’t do anything else, merely pulling the Toad quickly towards the Heritage Palace and inheriting the Divine Skill “Taiyuan” before once more falling into a deep sleep.
The Toad’s injuries had healed long ago.
While Qing slept, it stayed in Qing’s Inner World, holding a cluster of reversing smoke in its claws, studying it over and over.
This was what that wasteful Dragon Turtle had secured by using a mutual destruction tactic, crashing into the Heavenly Secret Great Formation and damaging the Abyss Array.
He had secretly retrieved it.
At this moment, the reversing smoke was intermittent.
The Abyss Array was incalculably more powerful than the Heavenly Secret Great Formation, but unfortunately, the Abyss was in a state of emptiness and weakness!
With one collision, the Heavenly’s Secret shattered and the Abyss was damaged.
However, such a Big Array had self-repair functions; with enough Yuan Qi, recovery wasn’t a problem.
Such a good Formation, the wasteful Dragon Turtle didn’t want it, but it did!
In the future, upon returning to Long Moon Mansion, it planned to set up the Formation in its own hut, especially since its quarters were too close to Princess Snow, that fox who also had violent tendencies—though it might simply be that she found the Dragon Turtle displeasing to the eye.
Regardless, without a Formation to guard the outside of the hut, it always felt insecure, as if that fox might burst in at any moment.
The Toad periodically checked the progress of the Inner World, which, being sufficiently primal, was in a state of constant advancement.
With Yue Ying present at the foot of the mountain nearby, there would be no issues in the Inner World.
Generously, the Toad had already paid Yue Ying once on Qing’s behalf; for now, Yue Ying was meditating in seclusion.
But without world mending, the speed of cultivation was simply too slow.
She even considered using the method from her homeland, where the Tian Nu Clan had stayed in their own small worlds generation after generation, never coming out.
Their method of cultivation was to continually destroy their small world and then repair it.
They used learned battle techniques to cause destruction and repaired it immediately after.
Between the cycles of repair and destruction, the small world unknowingly became incredibly firm.
Yue Ying quietly observed the sphere formed by the condensation of Laws overhead.
The Dragon Turtle was too stupid; it never took the initiative to contact Laws or comprehend them.
Such a shortcut was lying in front of him, and he hadn’t taken it!
Yue Ying really wanted to help him sort out the Laws.
She was about to act but then sharply realized and immediately restrained her eager left hand with her right.
You shouldn’t undertake fatal actions!
Now she was still a contracted employee and could earn a salary.
If she really sorted out the Laws, she would never be able to leave the Dragon Turtle’s Inner World in this lifetime.
Time hurriedly passed as Yue Ying continuously struggled with herself.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed since Qing fell asleep.
Taiyuan had seamlessly integrated into his body without him realizing it during his slumber.
Yet Qing still hadn’t awakened.
At this moment, there was even a hint of the Dragon Turtle’s legend of sleeping for ten thousand years.
Qing wanted to sleep, but reality did not permit it.
Even while in slumber, the entire Baiyun Palace suddenly shook violently as if in an earthquake.
The entire underground river bubbled as if boiling.
In the cave, the Netherworld Qi seemed to have found a vent, following the bubbles down into the depths of the cave and slowly dissipating into the earth.
Qing suddenly awoke and looked up towards the sky.
Though he was separated by the cave, he could still feel the changes in Baiyun Palace; something had descended!
The Fairy Ascension Platform!
Such a majestic and unparalleled aura could only belong to the Fairy Ascension Platform.
Outside the cave, Feng Qi’s voice came, “Little guy, are you awake?
The Fairy Ascension Platform has opened, and if you don’t wake soon, you won’t get a good seat!”
“Coming!” Qing smiled, leaped out of the underground river, and shook his head, feeling slightly unwell.
Next time, I shouldn’t hold my retreats where others can’t enter, at least let the Mermaid come in.
Previously, when sleeping in Long Moon Mansion, even if just napping for a bit, the Mermaid would take the opportunity to clean Su He’s Shell and polish his Scale Armor, clearing his body.
The Mermaid’s technique didn’t disturb his sleep; in fact, it made him sleep more soundly and effectively.
No wonder even though Turtle Ancestor knew that indulgent living could corrupt the Dragon Turtle, he still kept the Mermaid after reverting the Dragon Turtle back to a regular turtle every ten thousand years to relive the precarious life in the mud pits.
The Mermaid’s assistance to the Dragon Turtle was significant.
It wasn’t just about enjoyment; being in a delightful state both mentally and physically could also elevate the speed of cultivation.
Qing surged out of the cave on the waves below him.
Outside, Feng Qi’s dark Wutong Tree stood at the mouth of the cave, with him nestled comfortably on it.
The cave bore the essence of Netherworld Qi, strikingly similar to Feng Qi’s Phoenix True Fire in its properties.
By planting a Wutong Tree at the cave entrance, the tree would actively draw in Netherworld Qi, greatly aiding his cultivation!
“Uncle Qi!” Qing called out from afar.
Feng Qi laughed heartily, looking down at him; the Turtle Kid’s aura had strengthened again.
At this rate, he might indeed surpass him within ten thousand years.
Thinking this, he was suddenly choked with emotion.
He sighed deeply, “The Fairy Ascension Platform is opening; cultivate there to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
Qing nodded.
There was no need for more words from Feng Qi.
In the clouds above, rays of morning light were scattering, with many cultivators flying towards them.
“Let’s go!” Feng Qi said, clawing at Qing’s shell and in a flash, they appeared directly in the third cloud layer using a Divine Skill.
With space restrictions lifted by the Toad, the creatures of Mystery Huang were already reveling.
Upon appearing, they landed on a large mountain amidst the clouds.
Beneath the mountain, numerous cultivators gathered without conflict, at most engaging in arguments.
In the center were Phoenix Chao Fei and his people; on the other side were the folks from the Seal Emperor’s Palace.
Emperor Luan was in the leading position, with a small tea table before him, enjoying a cup of tea.
Seeing Qing and Feng Qi approaching, he lifted his teacup, gesturing to Qing, “Would you like some tea?”
Qing: “…”
Are you planning to cook using a tofu pot?
Even as the smallest, I am still a colossal Dragon Turtle!
Your teapot isn’t even as big as my eyeball!
