Jiang Yun's words gave the Black Tortoise a surge of energy, and its overall condition improved considerably.
After refining the Immortal Island stele, Jiang Yun essentially gained control of the entire Immortal Island. Although the Immortal Island has now been reduced to fragments, he still retains control over this core area.
By Immortal Island Control Stele, Jiang Yun easily found the location where the treasures of Yuanqiao Immortal Island were hidden.
"Unexpectedly, the island's most treasured artifact was hidden inside the stone tablet."
As Jiang Yun spoke, he manipulated the stone tablet to open the Restriction. The base of the stone tablet suddenly cracked open, revealing a jade box about a foot square.
Jiang Yun reached out and grabbed the jade box. The lid opened automatically, revealing a palm-sized fragment of green jade floating inside. It turned out to be a small fragment of Jade Disc, with Three Thousand Dao Chaos Inscriptions flowing across its surface.
"Fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation!" Jiang Yun's breath hitched.
Although small, this fragment shimmered like stars, revealing a complete Law Chains.
He carefully picked up the Jade Disc, and his Inner World suddenly trembled violently. The branches and leaves of the Kunlun Wood moved without wind, and all the Dao Patterns on the trunk lit up at the same time.
Behind Jiang Yun, the phantom of his Inner World unconsciously appeared, with the roots of the Kunlun Wood seemingly trying to burst out of the world.
The Black Tortoise was also startled by this strange phenomenon. "This thing can actually trigger a resonance within your Inner World?"
"More than just resonance." Jiang Yun pressed the Jade Disc close to his brow, sensing the vast amount of Law Information within. "Don't underestimate this small fragment of the jade disc; it's the most essential piece from the very center of the Jade Disc of Creation. It contains a complete array of Laws; all the Laws of the Chaos World can be found within it. It's sufficient to serve as the foundation for the World Law Rule, allowing various Laws to gradually evolve and become complete. If I were to refine it into my Inner World..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Jade Disc suddenly transformed into a stream of light and entered his Dantian.
In an instant, Chaos mist spewed from every pore of Jiang Yun's body, and countless tiny Law Chains could be seen moving beneath his skin.
He groaned and sat cross-legged on the ground. In the illusory Inner World, some of the Heavenly Dao Rules that were originally missing and blurry were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. His Heavenly Dao Good Corpse aura surged, reaching the Quasi-Saint Perfection in an instant, faintly exuding the aura of Saint.
If these Laws weren't growing at such a low rate, still merely like Seeds of Laws, and if his Inner World weren't only at the Middle Thousand World, his Good Corpse wouldn't be confined to the Saint Realm.
Upon seeing this, the Black Tortoise immediately expanded its Tortoise Shell to a diameter of ten thousand feet, and the patterns on the Tortoise Shell projected Defense Barrier.
He stood guard by, watching Jiang Yun's aura rise steadily, his inner Small World expanding by a tenth under the catalysis of the Jade Disc.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yun opened her eyes, her eyes and brows filled with joy.
"What a magnificent Three Thousand Law Dao Foundation!" He opened his palm, and a phantom image of a jade butterfly appeared in his hand. "Now my world possesses complete evolutionary capabilities and no longer needs to completely reference the Primordial Desolation Laws."
With this fragment, his world's foundation has deepened considerably. If the World Law Rule evolve quickly enough, when he advances to the Great Thousand World, his Heavenly Dao Good Corpse may ascend to the heavens in one step, comparable to the Heavenly Dao of the original Primordial Desolation World.
Just as the Black Tortoise was about to speak, Jiang Yun suddenly turned to the back of the stone tablet. "According to the stone tablet, there is another Spirit Root here."
Passing the stone tablet, one sees a mulberry tree, its entire body a deep purple-gold color, rooted in the Spirit Spring, with seven golden fruits the size of longans growing on its crown.
"Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Root Purple Gold Mulberry?" Jiang Yun picked a fruit and examined it closely. Liquid metal was flowing beneath the peel. "Consuming it can forge Gold Spirit Dao Body, greatly benefiting the cultivation of the Metal Element Laws, and also increasing a being's Physical Body aptitude and foundation."
He picked three and handed them to the Black Tortoise, saying, "Although you have no Physical Body, these can strengthen the metal element in your soul, which is very beneficial to your spirit."
The Black Tortoise swallowed the mulberry, and its Soul Body instantly solidified by three-tenths.
Suddenly, the mulberry tree began to shake, and its roots pulled a bronze array plate out of the spring. Jiang Yun picked up the array plate and discovered that it was the central control hub of the Immortal Island Spirit Veins.
"Looks like I'll have to empty this place out." He smiled and made a hand seal, revealing his Inner World.
As the array plate rotated, the entire fragment of the immortal island began to vibrate. The Spirit Spring, the mulberry tree, along with the twelve Moonlight Sable and three pairs of Azure Winged Profound Bird that lived there, were all Enter the world and placed beside the Kunlun Wood.
After the last immortal Immortal Island Spirit Veins was extracted, this second fragment of the immortal island was also completely looted.
"Let's go, let's go to the next place."
Having already gained a great deal from the core area of the Immortal Island, Jiang Yun didn't have high expectations for the third fragment. After all, the resources on an Immortal Island are limited, and what he had gained here was already substantial.
He then went with the Black Tortoise to the outermost fragment, preparing to quickly explore the area.
Jiang Yun 'Primordial Spirit swept across the area, and they discovered a huge Bone Pit.
The two arrived at the Bone Pit and saw a mountain of white skeletons, including a large number of Sea Beast and Mutated Beasts. Among them, seven giant turtle skeletons were particularly eye-catching. They were in a struggling posture, and their skulls had been pierced by some kind of force.
"It's them..." The Black Tortoise's soul fire trembled violently as it floated to the largest skeleton. Inside the giant turtle's chest cavity was a fist-sized gray Turtle Pearls, its surface covered with cracks.
The moment the Black Tortoise touched the gray bead, a faint fluctuation of consciousness suddenly emanated from within the bead. "... Ao... Li..."
I never expected that the Black Tortoise's name was Ao Li. I had never heard him mention it before; he had always been called the Black Tortoise.
"Clan Leader!" the Black Tortoise exclaimed.
Jiang Yun immediately stepped forward, placing his hands lightly on either side of the gray bead. The World Power seeped into it, and he discovered a cluster of turtle-shaped souls about to dissipate inside.
"The Remnant Soul is too weak and needs to be nurtured quickly, otherwise it will be completely destroyed." Jiang Yun took out the True Spirit Gourd from his world and poured out three drops of Golden Merit Liquid to coat the gray bead. "Nourish it with Golden Merit Liquid first, and after the soul is more stable, I will use the Three Lights Divine Water to help it recover some of its vitality."
As he spoke, he placed the Remnant Soul, which was enveloped in the Golden Merit Liquid, next to the Kunlun Wood in his Inner World, using the World Power to accelerate the Remnant Soul's absorption of the Aura of Merit.
They found six more similar Turtle Pearls in the pile of bones, but unfortunately, the True Spirit of five of them had been completely annihilated. Only the smaller pearl in the corner still contained a tuft of nascent consciousness.
"It's the Remnant Soul of a cub." The Black Tortoise carefully enveloped the bead with its soul power. "It should be your descendant now. I'll leave it to you to guard!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yun left some Golden Merit Liquid for the Black Tortoise. With the soul preserved, there was hope for recovery.
Jiang Yun's Primordial Spirit wandered through the pile of bones, parted the skeletons of several Sea Beasts, and discovered a jade slip half-buried in bone powder.
Brushing away the ashes on the surface, the jade slip was engraved with the two characters "Daiyu," and a faint spatial fluctuation could be sensed.
"These are the Teleportation Coordinate!" Jiang Yun channeled his Spiritual Power, and the jade slip projected a blurry image: on an island shrouded in azure light, several giant turtles were panting on the beach.
The image flashed by, but it was enough to confirm that at least four giant claws survived.
The Black Tortoise was overjoyed, its eyes shining like Stars: "They're still alive! Somewhere in the Nine Netherworlds World!"
"Let's deal with the immediate matter first, and then use the jade slip to find them." Jiang Yun put away the jade slip and carefully collected the giant turtle's skeleton.
This last fragment was almost entirely sacrificed to the demon god. It was a complete wasteland, littered with Spirit Vein, and all the Spirit Vein had withered into grayish-white Stone Vein.
After collecting the remains of the Giant Turtle Clan, the two of them briefly examined the other scattered fragments of the immortal islands. Finding nothing of significance, they prepared to leave the area.
"Let's go meet up with the others." Jiang Yun put away all his discoveries. "The Teacher Jieyin should be exploring Daiyu Immortal Island! Let's use the Teleportation Coordinate to go and take a look."
