Moving Continent

After Jiang Yun killed the Nine-headed Chiwen with a single saber strike, he turned to deal with the others.

At this moment, he noticed that out of the original four followers, only three were left lying there, barely alive. The lowest-ranked rabbit was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm, where did that rabbit go? Ao Yun, did you notice anything just now?"

Jiang Yun asked casually.

"It probably took advantage of your fight with the Nine-headed Chiwen to escape using some treasure! I just noticed a spatial fluctuation where the rabbit was, and then it vanished in the blink of an eye."

Ao Yun had been captivated by the battle between the two. Seeing the four opponents severely injured, he hadn't paid much attention. By the time he sensed a fluctuation, the rabbit had already fled.

"Forget it, let it run! With that little bit of cultivation, it can't cause any major trouble."

With that, he ignored the pleas of the remaining three opponents and finished them off one by one.

At this point, Ao Yun proactively stepped forward and began to search the corpses of the deceased. Jiang Yun didn't even need to ask; he was that proactive. It must be said, he really had the demeanor of a sycophant!

Ao Yun was truly impressed to the point of prostration. The people opposite them weren't weak in cultivation, especially the Nine-headed Chiwen, who was a great power to him, far surpassing the Dragon King of the Northern Sea in cultivation. Yet, Jiang Yun had killed them all in just a few moves.

Especially the physical manifestation Jiang Yun displayed, it was truly magnificent and domineering, capable of withstanding the Nine-headed Chiwen's attacks while being both offensive and defensive. Their Dragon Race loved this kind of fighting style!

After searching for a while, the most valuable items found were the Innate Spiritual Root Three Lights Grass and over a dozen drops of Three Lights Divine Water. There were also a lot of other miscellaneous Houtian Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Materials, all of which were the spoils of this small gang's robberies over the years. It was likely these people had other good things hidden in their lair! It was a pity they were all killed directly without anyone left to question.

Jiang Yun gave all the Three Lights Divine Water to Ao Yun and also picked out some good quality Houtian Spiritual Treasures as rewards. This action made Ao Yun beam with joy, his eyes almost disappearing into his smile. They were all good things, especially the Three Lights Divine Water, which he carefully stored away.

Logically, Ao Yun was from the Dragon Palace and had seen many treasures, but those items were never truly his; he could only admire them. Now, these good things were all his.

Jiang Yun collected all the other items, not even letting go of the corpses. Bodies of this caliber were excellent materials for refining treasures. Even if he couldn't use them himself, they would be great rewards for his subordinates!

After tidying up the aftermath, before the two could do anything else, the entire island suddenly began to shake violently. This tremor caused the canyon Jiang Yun had cut to extend further along its cracks, and the gaps in the canyon also continued to widen.

Jiang Yun and Ao Yun couldn't bother with anything else and quickly flew into the sky. Looking around, the entire island seemed to have suddenly come alive and was shaking.

It turned out that this island was situated on the back of the Mysterious Turtle of the North Sea. The Mysterious Turtle liked to sleep and would often retract its head and limbs, entering a deep slumber and drifting with the currents. Over time, dust accumulated on its back, forming soil, and living creatures began to gather, slowly forming this island.

This time, it woke up because Jiang Yun and the Nine-headed Chiwen had a great battle on its back, causing immense vibrations. Especially the final saber strike, which landed directly on the surface of the turtle's shell, waking it up.

When it first woke up, the Mysterious Turtle's mind was still a bit muddled and unclear. After all, it had been an unknown number of epochs since it last woke up; that was during the time of the Fierce Beasts! After a long period of slumber, it needed some time to regain its senses.

The Mysterious Turtle shook its body, extended its head, and then stretched out its limbs. Its body, which hadn't moved for so many years, couldn't quite keep up with its brain's commands for a moment.

Since the beginning of creation, the Mysterious Turtle had been among the first batch of living beings in the Primordial Desolation. Due to the inherent nature of turtles to be quiet and sleepy, it spent most of its time sleeping, unconsciously absorbing Spiritual Energy, strengthening its physical body, and then nourishing its soul through its body.

Over a long period, its physical body became increasingly powerful, but the growth of its soul couldn't keep up with its body. Furthermore, due to the long-term nourishment from its physical body, its soul and body merged into one, preventing the formation of a Nascent Soul.

The gap between its soul and body grew larger, and its soul began to be oppressed by its physical body, forcing it into a deep sleep most of the time, which caused it great distress. Other beings from the same era had transformed and emerged into the world, but it could only slumber here, let alone transform. Although its powerful physical body protected it from external disturbances, it also became a prison that confined it.

The two figures now standing in the air saw the Mysterious Turtle's extended head and, combined with the shape of the entire island, immediately guessed the island's origin.

At this moment, the Mysterious Turtle's aura, along with its awakening consciousness, spread out without restraint. Sensing this powerful aura, Jiang Yun and Ao Yun dared not linger above the Mysterious Turtle's body any longer and quickly flew before it.

The Mysterious Turtle now had its four feet planted in the sea, and the island on its shell had detached from the sea surface and soared into the clouds.

"Junior Yun Yazhi (Dragon Race Ao Yun) pays respects to Senior Mysterious Turtle." The two bowed respectfully.

The Mysterious Turtle of the North Sea looked at the two little specks before them and said with a sigh, perhaps of sorrow or joy, "Are you two the ones who woke me up?"

"Junior did not know this island was formed from Senior's body and rashly fought upon it, disturbing Senior. We hope Senior will forgive us!" Jiang Yun said upon hearing this.

"It's nothing. I should thank you for awakening my consciousness! How long has it been since the era of Fierce Beasts? What has happened in the Primordial Desolation?" The Mysterious Turtle didn't care at all about Jiang Yun's previous fight on its back and was instead grateful to have been awakened. It then began to inquire about the current situation.

Subsequently, Jiang Yun recounted to the Mysterious Turtle some of the events that had transpired in the Primordial Desolation from the era of Fierce Beasts to the present, from the Great Tribulation of Fierce Beasts to the War of the Three Races, followed by the War of Immortals and Demons, Hongjun's attainment of sainthood, detailing each event one by one.

After listening, the Mysterious Turtle sighed deeply and looked at Ao Yun, remarking, "Are you the descendant of that little mudfish from back then! I didn't expect so many things to have happened in the Primordial Desolation after I slept for a few naps. It's truly magnificent! It's a pity I had no chance to participate."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun recalled the Mysterious Turtle's future fate.

During the final battle between the Witches and Demons, after Buzhou Mountain was broken, the heavenly pillar snapped, and the four dimensions collapsed, causing a great hole in the sky. Finally, Nuwa mended the sky, and Tongtian the Sect Master severed the Mysterious Turtle's limbs in the Northern Sea to prop up the sky. The Mysterious Turtle's true spirit was reincarnated and eventually became the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother of the Sect of Interception, ultimately dying at the hands of the Mosquito Daoist during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Looking at it this way, its future life seemed quite eventful!
