"Are you talking about the Fire Qilin from Lingyun Grotto?"
Gu Sheng steered the topic at the right moment, shaking his head in confusion. "Impossible. The Fire Qilin was killed by Whispering Wind long ago, and Qilin blood seems to be able to strengthen one's power, but it doesn't grant immortality."
"Indeed. The Fire Qilin may have been too weak to grant anyone immortality."
Di Shitian seemed to agree with Gu Sheng. "But the Four Auspicious Beasts consist of more than just the phoenix and Qilin. There are also the dragon and the tortoise.
"As for the dragon-tortoise among the Four Auspicious Beasts, I've searched for it for many years without success. I only feel that it may have already left this world."
Di Shitian's words left Gu Sheng stunned. The dragon-tortoise had left this world? Good heavens, could that old bastard Xiao Sanxiao really have entrusted his life to the dragon-tortoise and wandered the mortal world? If so, didn't that mean he had to account for another variable in his plans?
"However, it's also possible that the dragon-tortoise has fallen into hibernation."
Di Shitian continued, "Tortoises sleep for long periods. Their shells are divine tools of divination and powerful weapons capable of Shrouding the Heavens. Moreover, the dragon-tortoise is a Divine Beast, and its ability to seek fortune and avoid calamity is considerable. I'm not surprised that I can't divine its whereabouts.
"I have no news of the dragon-tortoise, but I've already found a lead on the Divine Dragon, the foremost of the Four Auspicious Beasts."
With an air of absolute confidence, Di Shitian patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder. "In a few days, the Auspicious Omen Period that comes once every six hundred years will arrive. That will be the Divine Dragon's weakest moment in six hundred years.
