Little Xuan Turtle

Turtle-Snake Immortal Mansion.

"That Primordial Spirit Daoist has escaped."

"Haha, we blasted away all his magical defenses that day. Did he have to run away and wait to die?"

On the sea, a large, dark mass of powerful demons clad in black armor gathered together.

Behind their humanoid bodies, each had a huge tortoise shell, and their faces were either covered in scales or had bird beaks, making them all look strange.

These were the great demons of the Whirling Turtle Clan.

Even the ordinary Whirling Turtle is a kind of mythical beast.

However, the bloodline of ancient gods and demons within the Whirling Turtle's body has become extremely faint, and it can transform into human form at the Purple Mansion Realm.

In the outside world, even divine beasts like the Whirling Turtle, which can transform into human form at the Purple Mansion Realm, are considered rare.

The reason why the Whirling Turtle Clan has been able to reproduce to its current population size is because it lives a long life.

If you live long enough, the number of your clan members will naturally be large.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

Two burly men, whose appearances were almost indistinguishable from humans, watched as their tribesmen continued their excited discussion. One of the men, who had a rather fierce-looking face, waved his hand and said...

"Yes." The group of powerful demons responded and dispersed.

These two men are the two leaders of their tribe.

The one with a somewhat fierce appearance is the second leader, ' Ao Xiong ', while the one with a gentle appearance is the first leader, ' Ao Xuan '.

"Brother, why didn't you let me make a move just now?" Ao Xiong looked at Ao Xuan. "If I had, that human Nascent Primordial Spirit Daoist would definitely not have been able to escape."

Although he is called "Big Brother," in reality, if we calculate by age, Ao Xuan is an old guy of his great-grandfather's generation.

However, regardless of whether one is human or demon, once one embarks on the path of immortality and cultivates to the Nascent Soul realm, age is no longer used to determine seniority, and it has little significance.

Those at the same realm are considered peers; this is common knowledge in the Three Realms.

"Just teach them a lesson and let them go. Do you really want to be used as a tool by those two little brats?" Ao Xuan smiled.

"This Xia Clan Great World is ultimately a human-dominated world. Killing a Primordial Spirit Daoist is easy, but if we provoke the forces behind that Primordial Spirit Daoist, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"Our race has thrived in this vast world for billions of years. Our ancestors have passed down the legend that one day a descendant of the Immortal Mansion will come to open Immortal Mansion. Your previous obstruction of that human youth from entering the Immortal Mansion was particularly unwise."

As he spoke, Ao Xuan shook his head and looked at the enormous Turtle-Serpent Palace.

"Our clan's ancestor was once the spirit beast of the master of this Immortal Mansion. Now that Immortal Mansion master is gone, we should truly have a share of the treasures Immortal Mansion," Ao Xiong nonchalantly.

"With such an opportunity before us, how could we not seize it? If my elder brother hadn't stopped me, I would have killed that brat and taken his key to the Immortal Mansion."

"If you truly harbor such thoughts, I'm afraid no one can save you!" Ao Xuan's expression turned serious.

"What?" Ao Xiong was taken aback. "Could it be that the master of the Immortal Mansion is still here? Even a celestial being wouldn't be able to keep up for so long..."

"Who told you that the master of the Immortal Mansion is a celestial being?" Ao Xuan glared at Ao Xiong.

Having lived for only a few hundred thousand years, he's still too young...

Seeing that his elder brother Ao Xuan seemed displeased, Ao Xiong dared not mention the master of the Immortal Mansion again and changed the subject.

"Big brother, look how excited the clansmen are! After obtaining the Dao Soldier Armor left by our ancestor, even human Primordial Spirit Daoist are no match for them."

Ao Xiong sighed:

"Thanks to Little Treasure for breaking the magic array of the underwater cave. If we had to break the array slowly, it would have taken us years of hard work to enter the cave where our ancestor once lived."

Hearing Ao Xiong say this, Ao Xuan's expression softened, and he smiled and said, "I'm unlikely to become a Celestial Immortal in this lifetime; at best, I'll be a Rogue Earth Immortal Loose Immortal."

"If I could see Bao'er become the second Celestial Immortal of our clan, just like our ancestor, the 'Mysterious Mystic Turtle Heavenly Immortal,' then I would have no regrets."

"Bao'er is born with extraordinary abilities and has a noble bloodline; she is sure to become a celestial being one day," Ao Xiong said with a smile.

"It's his personality, sigh..." Ao Xuan thought of his young son and scanned the seabed below with his divine sense, but found nothing.

In its astonishment, its divine sense spread out in a vast and boundless manner, until it completely enveloped the entire immortal Immortal Mansion, but it still could not find any trace of the infant.

"Oh no." Ao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze turned to the Turtle-Serpent Palace.

That little guy didn't run into the palace, did he?

Thinking of his youngest son's innate supernatural abilities, which allowed him to pass through any formation as if it were his own home, Ao Xuan felt a tightness in his heart.

There are still two human teenagers inside the Turtle-Serpent Palace. If they encounter Bao'er, they'll kill her...

"Boom~~~"

The entire space within the Immortal Mansion suddenly trembled, and all spatial fluctuations were sealed off.

"If anything happens to Bao'er, I will risk all my millions of years of cultivation to make you pay!"

Inside the main hall.

Zhou Hao and the Slovenly True Person were already sitting cross-legged on the prayer mats at some point.

"Water, in its essence, is the ultimate good, benefiting all things without contention..."

A voice that shook heaven and earth kept echoing in Zhou Hao's mind, as if he were listening to a great being preach.

At this moment, the bronze Turtle-Snake statue on the jade bed no longer emitted flowing light; instead, Zhou Hao and the Slovenly True Person were filled with Daoist charm.

For a very long time.

"Call!"

"Call!"

Almost simultaneously, a Turtle-Snake phantom appeared behind both Zhou Hao and the Slovenly True Person, and a profound aura immediately filled the entire huge hall.

And the skin on both of them began to show patterns like tortoise shells.

"Hold head high!"

The two phantom Turtle-Snake figures simultaneously let out a tremendous roar, and the invisible fluctuations even transmitted out of the Turtle-Snake Palace, allowing the great demons of the Whirling Turtle Clan outside to sense them.

It took Zhou Hao a full half-cup of tea time to fully wake up, and at that moment, the Slovenly True Person also opened his eyes.

"You look like a turtle demon..."

After exchanging glances, the two spoke in unison.

After saying that, they couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

It's no wonder the two were overjoyed; the harvest this time was truly enormous!

The supernatural powers and secret techniques transmitted from the Turtle-Snake statues can be described as containing profound mysteries.

In particular, it provides explanations and guidance on the principles of water-based practices.

It should be known that the Slovenly True Person has cultivated for over a hundred years and has seen and heard of all sorts of supernatural powers and secret techniques within the Black-White Academy. His master is also an extremely powerful figure among the Loose Immortal, so he can be described as knowledgeable and experienced.

Only after encountering the inherited information in my mind today did I realize how shallow I had been before.

Zhou Hao was equally astonished by the countless pieces of information he had memorized.

This is a very detailed lineage instruction, which is divided into two parts.

Part of it is a powerful and secret technique whose name is unknown.

The unusual tortoise-shell-like patterns on Zhou Hao and the Slovenly True Person's skin were a result of the physical changes that occurred after using this great divine power.

The lineage of this great supernatural technique is extremely complete. Although there seems to be even more profound content, the existing lineage already includes information on things like physical enhancement and transformation, as well as various secret techniques for combat.

In comparison, Zhou Hao's previous cultivation of the Law of Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power was exceptionally rudimentary.

The other part of the inherited message is guidance on the path of water element.

Moreover, this is the most substantial part of the message passed down through generations.

Under the exposition of that earth-shattering voice in his mind, Zhou Hao seemed to vaguely see one of the most profound rules in the world.

Although it is a water-based path, it seems to encompass all the mysteries of the Way of Flowing Water, Dao of Blazing Fire, and even the Dao of the Vortex and Dao of the Gale, which have reached the Domain Realm of the Dao, as Zhou Hao comprehended. It is incredibly profound.

"The owner of this Immortal Mansion is at least a Celestial Immortal, or even a powerful being of a higher realm," the Slovenly True Person sighed, looking at the Turtle-Snake statue on the jade bed.

"Hmm." Zhou Hao nodded, thinking to himself, "It might even be a legacy left behind by a Dao Ancestor."

In his previous life, he had read the original work of the Desolate Era world and knew that above the Celestial Immortal was the Pure Yang True Immortal, and above the Pure Yang True Immortal was the even higher realm of the 'Dao Ancestor'.

In the original work, Xia Emperor convened the Immortal Fate Assembly with the aim of selecting the most outstanding prodigies for his Dao Ancestor Master to take as his successors and disciples.

Of course, because Zhou Hao died before he could see the updates on the Immortal Fate Assembly in his previous life, he was not clear about the specific details of the Immortal Fate Assembly and did not know who would be so lucky as to be accepted as a disciple by a Dao Ancestor.

"The predecessor who left behind this great supernatural power didn't even leave a name." The Slovenly True Person smiled at Zhou Hao, "How about we call it the Turtle-Snake Divine Ability?"

The two received the inheritance together, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them fellow disciples.

Looking at Zhou Hao, the Slovenly True Person felt a sense of kinship, much like meeting a fellow disciple from the academy.

"Calling it 'Turtle-Snake' directly doesn't sound good." Zhou Hao shook his head. "Xuanwu refers to the Turtle-Snake. It is located in the north, hence the name Xuan. It has scales and armor, hence the name Wu... Let's call it Xuanwu Divine Ability."

This was the description of the Turtle-Snake in the Dao Sect classics he learned from his master, "True Person Daoyi," before he transmigrated.

Replacing the Turtle-Snake with the Xuanwu Divine Ability at least sounds more pleasing to the ear.

"Xuanwu, the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability..." the Slovenly True Person muttered several times, then nodded and said, "This is good, let's call it that."

After the two finalized the name of the supernatural power, they found that there was nothing more mysterious about the hall.

After they received the inheritance, the Turtle-Snake statues on the jade bed were treated like ordinary bronze statues, and they wanted to continue exploring the palace.

Looking at the two corridors on the left and right of the hall, the Slovenly True Person laughed and said, "It was agreed before that what treasures each of us gets depends entirely on our own luck."

There are two corridors now, Zhou Hao, you can choose one first.

"I possess the key to the Immortal Mansion Abode. If I choose first, you'll be at a disadvantage."

"If San Pang hadn't brought me in, how could I have obtained this divine power inheritance?" Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "Too much of a good thing is bad. I'll wait for you here. You can explore the rest of the palace by yourself."

"How can that be! It was agreed upon before we came. I met you right after I opened my Immortal Mansion; it must be fate. Choose quickly, if you don't go, I won't go either."

The Slovenly True Person simply wouldn't listen, and Zhou Hao had no choice but to randomly choose the right-hand corridor.

According to common sense, the left side is the more honorable side. Zhou Hao chose the right side because he thought that if there were other treasures in the Immortal Mansion, he would let the Slovenly True Person get more of them.

"Although the original work doesn't describe any extraordinary encounters or opportunities the Slovenly True Person had, obtaining this great divine power's inheritance must have been an incredible stroke of luck. It's hard to say whether it wasn't deliberately left behind by some powerful figure," Zhou Hao thought to himself. "After all, I'm a transmigrator; it's best to be cautious."

"Alright. You choose the right, then I'll go left." Seeing Zhou Hao's choice, the Slovenly True Person laughed, "Now let's see who gets more."

In fact, through the sensing of the Immortal Mansion Key, he already knew that the central hub of the entire Immortal Mansion was located in the direction of the left corridor. Letting Zhou Hao choose first was also because he didn't want to take advantage of him.

Now that the agreement had been reached, the Slovenly True Person did not delay any longer and headed towards the left corridor, following the sensation of the Immortal Mansion Key.

Zhou Hao, on the other hand, slowly walked towards another corridor on the right.

Since he no longer expected to obtain any treasures, Zhou Hao strolled leisurely along the corridor, always choosing the right path whenever he encountered a fork in the road, walking with ease and comfort.

Soon, after passing through another fork in the road, Zhou Hao arrived at a magnificent hall.

Inside the main hall, rows of exquisite long tables were neatly arranged, and there were also rows of musical instruments on the sides of the hall.

The walls and pillars around the hall are also covered with exquisite carvings, which must have been the place where the master of the immortal Immortal Mansion entertained guests.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao suddenly noticed that the carvings on the walls and pillars of the main hall seemed to have many pits and marks, and they looked very new.

It's like the original carving that has been deliberately carved out.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind the most exquisite screen in the main hall.

"Could it be a puppet left behind by the master of the Immortal Mansion?" Zhou Hao wondered to himself.

This Immortal Mansion has existed for countless millennia; if there were any living beings, they wouldn't have been allowed to enter so easily.

Zhou Hao activated his divine power, unleashing his newly acquired Xuanwu Great Divine Ability.

Suddenly, a phantom image of Turtle-Snake appeared behind him, its skin displaying patterns resembling a tortoise shell, and its eyes transforming into snake-like eyes.

Although Xuanwu Great Divine Ability was only just beginning to be learned through the inheritance of the Turtle-Snake bronze statue, the tortoise shell patterns on his skin already made his divine body as hard as Human-Rank Magical Treasure.

Although it pales in comparison to the legendary ' Nine Revolutions Mystic Art,' ' Vairochana Corpse,' and ' Eight-Foot Golden Body,' which are truly top-tier divine abilities specifically for cultivating the body and divine form, it is enough for Zhou Hao to instantly increase his strength several times over.

Now, in close combat, he can rival the power he once wielded with the Ou Huang Mace, even with just his bare hands.

Of course, the Ou Huang Mace is a blood-forged divine weapon that can be lengthened or shortened at will, and its weight can be adjusted to one's liking, making it even more lethal.

However, when it comes to the exquisite and unpredictable moves, it is naturally more suitable to use both hands for this Xuanwu Great Divine Ability.

Zhou Hao carefully turned around the screen and saw that behind it was a huge bronze mirror.

In front of the bronze mirror was a Whirling Turtle over ten feet long looking at itself.

Its shell was covered with various jewels and jades, some of which had some stone dust and residue on them, clearly indicating that they had just been pried off from the walls of the palace.

At this moment, the Whirling Turtle was so engrossed in looking at the bronze mirror that it didn't even notice Zhou Hao approaching.

Without the key to the Immortal Mansion, how did it get in?

Could it be an ancient monster that has lived for countless years?

One could sense its aura, but it seemed to be only at the Purple Mansion realm.

Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Hao's mind. Seeing that the Whirling Turtle was still immersed in its own world, he coughed lightly.

"Ah! Who are you? How did you get in?" The Whirling Turtle suddenly woke up, looking at Zhou Hao. "These jewels all belong to me, Ao Xiaobao!"

Ao Xiaobao?

Zhou Hao was speechless.

They're just decorative gems, what would I need them for...?

I made some revisions and also took my daughter to a tutoring class, which caused some delays.

The chapter from early morning is gone.

That concludes the short storyline about discovering supernatural powers. More tomorrow.
