North Sea Black Tortoise? Invitation to Join Jie Sect!

The shores of Beihai.

A cold wind whipped up icy shards, turning the world into a vast expanse of desolation.

Xuandu's figure stepped out of the void and landed on the ice-covered shore.

Her green robes fluttered in the wind, creating a striking contrast with the boundless ice-blue surroundings.

He did not immediately delve deeper.

The Spiritual Sense of Mid Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin surged forth, instantly covering most of the North Sea region.

Beneath the ice, turbulent currents surge, and in the deepest depths, ancient sea beasts lurk, exuding a ferocious Malevolent Qi.

Further away, Chaos Energy Flow, like giant gray pythons, roamed through the void, tearing through space and emitting a low hum.

As his Spiritual Sense swept across, scenes appeared in Xuandu's mind.

There is no fluctuation of Yin Yang Two Qi.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng is not located on the edge of the North Sea.

"It seems to be deeper inside..."

Xuandu's gaze narrowed slightly.

The central area of Beihai is the place where Chaos Energy Flow are most concentrated.

The fact that the Golden-Winged Great Peng dared to go there to hone its Divine Ability is in line with its arrogant and daring nature.

He was about to withdraw his Spiritual Sense and head towards the center.

suddenly.

"Um?"

At the edge of Xuandu's Spiritual Sense, he sensed an extremely subtle yet powerful and profound aura.

That aura was hidden deep within the North Sea, almost fused with the permafrost of the seabed. If it weren't for his keen Spiritual Sense, he would have had little chance of detecting it.

Quasi-Saint level.

However, unlike the ethereal feeling of ordinary Quasi-Saint who have severed their corpses, this aura leans more towards the strength of the physical body and bloodline, carrying a sense of ancient vicissitudes.

"Kunpeng?"

Xuandu's first thought was that Demon Master.

But he immediately dismissed the guess.

Kunpeng's aura is more sinister and unpredictable, and since he resides in the Demon Master Palace year-round, he wouldn't be so deep and reserved.

His Spiritual Sense quietly gathered and probed towards the source of the aura.

They traversed towering ice sheets and crossed dark trenches, finally landing in a vast, dark abyss.

The bottom of the deep sea is not made of rock or silt.

Instead, it was an endless expanse of... shells.

The carapace is dark gold in color, with natural patterns on it. Each Dao Patterns is as wide as a river, exuding a profound and awe-inspiring Daoist charm.

In the center of the carapace, a head, resembling a miniature star, slowly rose.

The head resembled neither a tortoise nor a giant turtle, and Chaos Qi flowed between its opening and closing eyes.

It simply lay there quietly, its body as vast as half of the North Sea, as if it had existed there since the World Creation.

"This is..."

Xuandu's pupils suddenly contracted!

North Sea Black Tortoise!

That legendary being, whose body was so enormous that it could support the Four Extremes of Great Wilderness, but whose limbs were cut off by Sage after Buzhou Mountain collapsed in the future to support the sky!

It actually appeared at this moment?

No, it's always been here.

It usually lies dormant at the Bottom of the North Sea, its aura blending with the earth, unnoticed by anyone.

Now, perhaps because the great calamity is approaching and the energy of heaven and earth is in disarray, or perhaps because his Spiritual Sense disturbed it, a trace of it has been revealed.

Xuandu was deeply shaken.

The North Sea Black Tortoise is Great Wilderness Exotic Species.

Because of its predetermined fate, it cannot take human form, but the sheer power of its Blood Qi, and the strength of its physical body, are probably inferior even to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

More importantly, it carries Great Karma and is destined to face calamity in the future, using its four limbs to support the Glimmer of Hope.

Now that it has revealed its presence ahead of schedule... is it a coincidence, or is it preordained?

Just as Xuandu's mind raced...

"Buzz!"

The enormous, star-like head slowly turned towards the direction where his Spiritual Sense resided.

His deep eyes seemed to pierce through the endless sea and ice, landing directly on Xuandu on the shore.

There was no hostility, no curiosity, only an almost numb silence.

It was as if it had already seen through its fate and accepted everything that was destined.

When Xuandu's eyes met his, his Dao Heart trembled slightly.

"Senior."

Xuandu withdrew his Spiritual Sense and bowed respectfully towards the North Sea Depths.

Regardless of whether the other person can hear you, proper etiquette should not be disregarded.

Such an ancient existence deserves his respect.

However, the Black Tortoise did not respond.

It glanced at Xuandu silently, then slowly lowered its head and disappeared back into the darkness.

That powerful and profound aura also subsided, merging once more with the earth, as if it had never existed.

If Xuandu been able to perceive it with his Spiritual Sense, he would almost have thought it was just an illusion.

However, Xuandu surprised but delighted, and took a step out into the North Sea.

The Hunyuan Power flowed naturally, forming an invisible protective shield around the body, completely isolating it from the seawater and the cold.

"North Sea Black Tortoise..."

Xuandu's gaze pierced through the layers of seawater, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Such a being is definitely not to be underestimated.

If we could bring them into the Interception Sect...

Xuandu's mind raced, and a bold idea gradually became clear.

While the Golden-Winged Great Peng is certainly the goal, if the Black Tortoise could also join in, his Cultivation Feedback would undoubtedly experience a terrifying surge.

As for the Sky Mending Matter in the future...

Xuandu's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

That's Nuwa's business; what does it have to do with him?

If the Black Tortoise truly joins the Interception Sect, even if it still cannot escape the Mandate of Supporting Heaven in the future, it will be the Karma that Heavenly Dao and Nuwa owe to the Interception Sect!

How precious is the Karma embodied by Sage!

At that time, both Master Tongtian and the entire Interception Sect will benefit immensely from it.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it!

"Opportunity knocks but once."

Without further hesitation, Xuandu transformed into a streak of azure light and shot towards the Bottom of the North Sea.

The deeper you go, the darker and colder the seawater becomes.

The Xuandu aura was contained, Hunyuan Dao Rhyme flowed naturally, merging with the surrounding seawater.

The surrounding sea beasts sensed the aura of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal and dared not approach.

I don't know how long they've been submerged.

The pressure from all sides was so great that it could crush an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.

A faint, Pure and Bright Immortal Light emanated from Xuandu's body, subtly dissolving the terrifying pressure.

finally.

A massive crack appeared ahead.

The crack runs across the seabed, spanning thousands of miles in width and unfathomable depth.

An extremely dense Chaos Qi emanated from the depths of the crack, turning the surrounding seawater a grayish hue.

Xuandu stopped at the edge of the crack, looking down.

At the bottom of the crack, instead of the expected lava or abyss, lay a vast expanse of dark golden carapace.

It is the back of the North Sea Black Tortoise.

"Junior Xuandu, Interception Sect the Sage Tongtian of the Jie Sect, greets Senior Black Tortoise."

Xuandu cupped his hands in greeting, his voice carrying clearly through the seawater to the Black Tortoise's ears.

The Black Tortoise remained silent and did not respond.

Only those eyes remained silently fixed on Xuandu, as if trying to discern his intentions.

Xuandu remained calm and composed, allowing the other party to scrutinize him.

A moment later.

An ancient, surging Spiritual Sense slowly resonated within Xuandu's mind:

"The Interception Sect... Tongtian..."

A barely perceptible fluctuation emanated from his Spiritual Sense, seemingly reacting to the words "Tongtian."

Xuandu understood.

Master Tongtian wields the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages, and his fame shakes the Great Wilderness.

Moreover, he is Pangu Orthodox Lineage and one of the Three Pure Ones.

Even though the Black Tortoise is an ancient being that has been dormant for many years, it must still be aware of the majesty of the Sage.

After all, when he attained sainthood, his holy voice resounded throughout the Great Wilderness.

"Exactly."

Xuandu nodded slightly, his tone respectful yet neither humble nor arrogant:

"I have come here to ask you for a favor."

The Black Tortoise's eyes flickered slightly, and its Spiritual Sense transmitted itself once more:

"What is it?"

The voice remained slow, but now carried a hint of doubt.

Xuandu raised his head, his gaze clear, and looked directly into the Black Tortoise's deep, dark eyes:

"This junior would like to invite you, senior, to join my Interception Sect."

Upon hearing this, a brief silence fell over the bottom of the crack.

The enormous body of the Black Tortoise seemed to pause slightly, even causing the surrounding surging Chaos Energy Flow to pause as well.
