Opportunity, Creation, and Profound Nether Heavy Water!

Xie Fang was midair, looking down at the thing shifting beneath the island, and bellowed, "What are you? Get out here!"

The pressure of a late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal swept out with that thunderous shout.

"Spare me, Senior..."

Just then, a plea for mercy came from beneath the island, and a massive head poked up from the sea.

Sensing that Xie Fang wasn't attacking further, the giant beast slowly surfaced completely.

Only then did Xie Fang see clearly—this wasn't an island at all, but a colossal turtle!

Perhaps because the turtle had lain motionless for eons, its back was overgrown with vegetation, making it look just like an island.

Yet Xie Fang detected a faint trace of Chaos aura on the beast—clearly, this turtle had extraordinary origins.

"Could it be the Chaos Black Tortoise?"

Xie Fang hovered in the air, gazing down at the tortoise, a hint of surprise in his heart.

The Chaos Black Tortoise was no ordinary creature. Born from Chaos itself, after the world was split open, its Primordial Spirit had been battered by the pressure, damaging its inherited memories. That was why it had lain dormant in the North Sea like a common sea turtle, wasting its life away.

Of course, that was also how it had survived the Ferocious Beast Tribulation!

But unfortunately, though it escaped that calamity, when the Sorcerer-Devil Tribulation came, its sheer size drew unwanted attention. In the end, when Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the Chaos Black Tortoise had its limbs severed to serve as the four pillars propping up the sky.

This creature had extraordinary roots. If not for its missing memories, its achievements would have been remarkable.

Now, looking at this simple, honest Chaos Black Tortoise, Xie Fang felt a stirring desire to enlighten it.

"Don't be afraid. I see that your origins are exceptional and you possess innate wisdom. Fate has brought us together, so I'll grant you a stroke of fortune."

Xie Fang waved his right hand lightly, and a divine thought shot straight into the tortoise's sea of consciousness.

"This—this is a cultivation method!"

The Chaos Black Tortoise felt the divine thought in its mind, its eyes flying wide with excitement.

It had lain dormant in the North Sea for millions of years, cultivating only by slowly devouring Spiritual Qi over the ages, with no proper technique. That was why its Cultivation Base had never advanced!

Now that Xie Fang had bestowed a cultivation method upon it, this was truly a monumental blessing!

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you for granting me this great fortune and opportunity! This junior is endlessly grateful!"

In its excitement, the Chaos Black Tortoise forgot that it was actually far older than Xie Fang.

But in the Primordial World, strength reigned supreme, so calling Xie Fang "Senior" was hardly improper.

"Cultivate peacefully here. I am Xie Fang, master of the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea. When you have achieved success in your training, you may come to the East Sea to find me."

Having forged this karmic bond of goodwill, Xie Fang had no reason to linger and turned to leave.

But the tortoise suddenly called out to stop him.

"Senior, wait—"

Seeing Xie Fang turn back with a puzzled look, the Chaos Black Tortoise continued, "Senior's great kindness is beyond my ability to repay. I had hoped to repay you after my Form Manifestation, but I don't know how long that will take..."

At this, the tortoise felt somewhat ashamed.

Still, since it wanted to repay Xie Fang, it knew another way: "To repay even a fraction of your grace, this junior knows of a place where a rare treasure is hidden!"

"Oh?"

Xie Fang's interest was piqued by the tortoise's eagerness to repay him.

"That treasure lies beneath the waters where I dwell. But due to my limited Cultivation Base, I cannot retrieve it. Senior will have to do it himself."

Hearing this, Xie Fang pondered for a moment, then said, "Very well. Since you are sincere, I'll go take a look."

This Chaos Black Tortoise had lived for who knows how many millions of years. The treasure it guarded was surely extraordinary!

And no ordinary person would ever think to look for treasure beneath such a massive tortoise!

Casually forming a Water-Avoidance Seal, Xie Fang skirted the tortoise's enormous body and dove into the deep sea like a fish.

The tortoise watched him with envious eyes and sighed, "This Senior truly has transcendent cultivation. I wonder when I'll be like Senior Xie Fang..."

Even as it spoke, the tortoise had already made up its mind: it would cultivate diligently, achieve Form Manifestation as soon as possible, and follow this Senior!

By now, Xie Fang had followed the direction the tortoise had indicated and was descending deeper.

As he went down, the pressure in the sea grew heavier, but for a late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal like Xie Fang, it was nothing.

After diving for a full century, Xie Fang finally spotted a shimmer of treasure light at the bottom of the sea!

Outside that light, endless ferocious Sha swirled!

"If not for the tortoise pointing the way, who would have thought that beneath this sea of Sha, after a hundred years of diving, a treasure could be found?"

Xie Fang's heart stirred. He suddenly summoned the Pure World White Lotus to shield his body and pressed toward the treasure light.

The closer he got, the more the pressure multiplied. Even with his late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal physique, without the Pure World White Lotus protecting him, he might not have been able to withstand it.

When he reached the treasure light, he found it was a spring eye.

"What kind of thing could generate such immense pressure?"

Xie Fang stood atop the Pure World White Lotus, carefully examining this spring eye.

Within the spring eye, silvery-white water flowed quietly, radiating an undeniable brilliance.

Xie Fang flicked a strand of magical power deep into the water, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Damn, this water is heavy!"

With his cultivation base at the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, plucking stars, grabbing the moon, moving mountains, or overturning seas with a flick of his finger was no problem. Yet when he probed the water in this spring eye with his magical power, he was shocked to find that even scooping up a single handful was extraordinarily difficult.

"Could this be the legendary Profound Nether Heavy Water?"

The three most famous types of water in the entire Primordial World were none other than the Three Lights Divine Water, the Profound Nether Heavy Water, and the Nine Heavens Divine Water.

The Three Lights Divine Water gathered on Penglai Immortal Island, forming a small lake.

The Nine Heavens Divine Water nourished the Xirang soil and nurtured the Innate Gourd Vine.

The most mysterious of all was the Profound Nether Heavy Water.

A single drop of Profound Nether Heavy Water weighed a thousand jun.

One drop alone might not be much, but when the Profound Nether Heavy Water gathered together, how much heavier would it become?

For one thing, if Xie Fang refined the Profound Nether Heavy Water in this spring eye and poured it into the thirty-six Sea Calming Pearls to set up the Profound Nether Sea-Covering Formation, then if he encountered someone like Luohu again, he could probably crush him to death with just the Sea Calming Pearls.

"A whole spring eye of Profound Nether Heavy Water—I've hit the jackpot, I've hit the jackpot. Good people really do get good rewards."

Xie Fang sighed with emotion. If he hadn't kindly given that black turtle a stroke of fortune, he would never have obtained this Profound Nether Heavy Water.
