Lin Changsheng disregarded karma and told the North Sea Black Tortoise of his ultimate fate.
The North Sea Black Tortoise was instead remarkably calm.
"May I ask why you are telling me this, Fellow Daoist?"
Only upon hearing the North Sea Black Tortoise's question did Lin Changsheng come back to his senses.
He was certainly not doing this out of some bleeding-heart impulse.
The North Sea Black Tortoise's fate was not something he could control.
Even if he disregarded karma and told him of his eventual end, he still could not change the North Sea Black Tortoise's fate.
Even if Lin Changsheng refined a Seven-Revolutions Golden Elixir for the North Sea Black Tortoise to consume, it would only help him take form.
The reason he had done this was, of course, to obtain a wisp of the North Sea Black Tortoise's origin.
The North Sea Black Tortoise was an Innate Sacred Being who had been born countless epochs ago.
There was no need to say anything about his Foundation.
If he could obtain a wisp of origin from him and use the Great Dao of Creation and the Spirit Pointing Technique, he would gain another disciple with excellent talent.
That was his true plan.
"Fellow Daoist, to be honest with you."
"I have mastered the Great Dao of Creation, so I wish to obtain a wisp of your origin."
"To nurture it into my disciple in the future."
Lin Changsheng stated his intentions directly.
After hearing this, the North Sea Black Tortoise stared at Lin Changsheng for a long while before letting out earthshaking laughter. "Could it be that your earlier words were merely to trick me into giving you a wisp of my origin?"
Even the previously tranquil seawater turned violently turbulent beneath the North Sea Black Tortoise's laughter.
