The situation of the Black Tortoise is quite serious, possibly involving a struggle between the Chaos Demon Gods and the Heavenly Dao. Jiang Yun couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.
Moreover, the Black Tortoise has a powerful Physical Body. If something really goes wrong, Jiang Yun might not be able to control the situation. He should discuss this matter with his seniors as soon as possible.
Jiang Yun stood on the jade steps outside the main hall. The scene of the North Sea Guixu and the strange double image appearing on the Black Tortoise's soul body intertwined in his mind. The needle-like sensation that had come from his Primordial Spirit earlier made him feel a deep threat.
He wasn't about to let things get worse by having those around him schemed against.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the hall and saw Jieyin and Zhunti sitting opposite each other, discussing matters inside and outside the sect. The Ziwei Star Lord was on the side, unfolding the Ziwei Star Chart, constantly making deductions, and occasionally exchanging a few words with the Two beside him.
"Teacher, I just met with Senior Mysterious Turtle in the Cave Abode and told him about the situation in Guixu and the results of your discussion. Senior Mysterious Turtle agreed with your idea and is willing to wait until after the Third Lecture, when everyone's cultivation has made greater progress, before making any further plans."
However, there is a thorny problem now. Just now, when Senior Mysterious Turtle was emotionally agitated, a strange double image appeared in his soul, giving me a very dangerous feeling. Moreover, in recent years, Senior Mysterious Turtle has become increasingly sleepy and has not gone down the mountain with me for a long time. It is almost developing into the situation when his soul was suppressed by his Physical Body. These things are very strange.
I previously made some deductions, and it seems that Senior Mysterious Turtle... or even the Giant Turtle Clan, has been targeted by the Chaos Demon Gods hidden within the Guixu.
As Jiang Yun spoke, he also used his Magical Power to project the scene he had seen in the Cave Abode earlier.
Jieyin the three people listened to his explanation and watched the projected images, their expressions became extremely solemn.
"Your martial uncle and I have seen this before, but that was a long time ago. I never expected to see it happen again on the Black Tortoise!" Jieyin spoke first, but his words shocked Jiang Yun.
"Teacher, have you experienced something like this before? Do you have any good solutions?"
"Just now, I saw the Black Tortoise's soul body transform into a giant tortoise, and patterns resembling the Whirlpool of the Guixu appeared on its Tortoise Shell Physical Body." Jiang Yun unfolded the projection, and in the picture, the Black Tortoise's sleeping Physical Body was breathing in and out spiritual energy at a strange frequency. With each breath, the spiral patterns on its shell expanded by three points.
"What's even more terrifying is..." he pointed his finger at the illusory image of the Black Tortoise's soul, "... these patterns are completely in sync with the corrosive chains emanating from the North Sea."
"You probably don't know this, but in the last Tribulation Cycle, Luohou, who dominated the Western Land, was actually Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods Primordial World. After falling into the Primordial World, he possessed a top-tier Innate Demon God. In the original timeline, your uncle, the possessed demon god, and I were the three most powerful demon gods in the Western Land, representing the Fortune of the Western Land. We should have been like the Three Pure Ones and not been born so early."
However, when Luohou attempted to possess a body, he ultimately revealed his aura due to his Remnant Soul, which alerted the Heavenly Dao. As a result, the Heavenly Dao hid the Two us to prevent the possession from happening again. It was thanks to the Heavenly Dao's warning that we understood the whole story.
Since the possession was already a done deal, the Heavenly Dao could not directly eliminate Luohou, and could only deal with it indirectly.
As you all know, Old Ancestor Hongjun invited Qiankun Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Old Ancestor Yang Mei to fight against Luohou. In the end, Luohou's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was broken, and he himself perished. Jieyin told Jiang Yun and Ziwei Star Lord a secret from the ancient times:
When Heavenly Dao issued its warning, we received similar images in our minds; this was no coincidence.
This was the first time Jiang Yun and the Ziwei Star Lord had heard of these secrets, and they were quite surprised.
Although Jiang Yun had memories of his Previous Life, he was Taiqing about the fact that Luohou was able to take root in the Primordial World by possessing another's body.
Thinking about it this way, then Old Ancestor Hongjun, Qiankun Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Old Ancestor Yang Mei were probably all Chaos Demon Gods who entered the Primordial Desolation World through possession, just like Luohou!
The Dao Derivation Disk within Jiang Yun's Primordial Spirit spun, and in an instant, he deduced various possible scenarios based on the information he knew, ultimately arriving at the most probable conclusion: apart from Luohou, the others must have reached some kind of cooperation with the Heavenly Dao in order to remain in the Primordial Desolation World and glimpse Pangu's Dao Fruit cultivation.
However, in the end, the two patriarchs, Qiankun and Yin-Yang, were tricked and killed. Yang Mei escaped by relying on the Spatial Power. In the end, Hongjun defeated Luohou with the Three Corpses Method and became the biggest winner.
After his defeat, Luohou suddenly realized the key to Hongjun's victory, so he readily surrendered to the Heavenly Dao, using his body to create the Devil Dao within the Heavenly Dao, and continued to fight against Hongjun.
As Jiang Yun's thoughts raced, he pieced together some truths from the long river of history.
At this moment, Zhunti continued, "The Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods within the Guixu is attempting to interfere with the mortal world by possessing the Black Tortoise! However, the Black Tortoise has already become the Dharma Protector spirit of our Western Teachings. We must sever this soul connection for him and help him escape this calamity!"
Zhunti placed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree across his lap and continued, "In the past, to prevent the Two from being possessed, Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao Laws bestowed upon us a method to avert disaster— the Void Spirit Protection Seal. Its core principle is to construct a three-in-one True Spirit Fortress using the void of Nirvana as the warp, the Dreamscape of All Living Beings as the weft, and the laws of the Heavenly Dao as the pivot. When faced with possession, it automatically constructs a desolate illusion, causing the intruder to lose themselves in the endless dreams of living beings where reality and illusion are indistinguishable, ultimately leading to Nirvana."
With our combined power Quasi-Saint, we can use the power of the Heavenly Dao as a blade to sever the chains of Karma and effect in our souls. Fellow Daoist Ziwei will wield the Star Formation to suppress spatial fluctuations and isolate the inside from the outside. Senior Brother Jieyin's Merit Golden Lotus Jieyin most effective against the corruption of Chaos, and will remove the corruption from the Black Tortoise's True Spirit. Then, together we will cast the Void Spirit Protection Seal to preserve the Black Tortoise's True Spirit.
"What about me? Is there anything I can do?" Jiang Yun saw that everyone else had their own tasks, but he hadn't been assigned any. He also wanted to do his part for the Black Tortoise.
Upon hearing his question, the Jieyin's gaze fell upon him. After a moment's thought, he gave him a talisman and said, "Use this to guard the cave entrance."
If anything unexpected happens, you will need to immediately Jieyin the Circumference Star Power to build a defensive line.
The group arrived outside the Cave Abode. Jiang Yun used hand seals to strengthen the Star Formation inside the Cave Abode, isolating the aura between the inside and outside of Cave Abode before they entered.
Seeing the Black Tortoise in the spirit pool, still unaware of their arrival, the group exchanged glances for a moment and nodded to each other in tacit agreement.
"Make your move!" Zhunti shouted softly.
With a snap of his fingers, the Ziwei Star Lord formed Star Formation. As he gently pulled with his Magical Power, the Star Formation array expanded outward from between his hands, instantly suppressing the entire Cave Abode space. He sat within the Star Formation, focusing on isolating the spatial fluctuations.
As Zhunti shouted, his hands did not stop moving. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree shone with countless rays of light, and its branches extended into chains, binding the limbs of the Black Tortoise's soul.
Then, the Jieyin threw out the Merit Golden Lotus. The lotus platform spun and landed on the Heavenly Crown the Black Tortoise's head. The Merit Golden Light of merit that hung down washed over the soul like a waterfall. The effect of the Merit Golden Light was amazing. In the blink of an eye, Chaos patterns appeared on the surface of the Black Tortoise's soul, and the pitch-black chains binding the soul also appeared.
