The Awakening of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle
"Fortunately, it doesn't seem too urgent. Let's settle the items in the Ancient Realm first."
Gu Yuanqing didn't dare to hesitate. He put away his Fishing Gear, took off, and arrived at the temporary Residence he had set up.
Using Ancient Coin as the source and foundation, Concealment Formation is activated, and all kinds of treasures are placed in Storage Bag and hidden in secret places underground.
They then withdrew from the Ancient Realm.
His Divine Soul reviewed the past, his consciousness merged with his own, and he knew everything that happened in both realms.
The reason the main body summoned all the Split Soul this time was due to changes within the Cultivation World.
The Divine Turtle, thousands of miles long, has awakened!
The Island trembled slightly, startling countless birds into flight.
Then the entire Sea Islands rose up, and the part that had sunk below emerged above the water, making the Island several times wider.
He recalled all consciousness in order to prepare for possible changes.
Faced with such Divine Beast, its power is immeasurable. Even with the help of North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing doesn't know if he can do anything about it. This matter concerns the foundation of the nation and is far more important than any matter of the Ancient Realm.
Li Shi'an and the others also returned from the Island in the Cultivation World to the peaks of North Spring Mountain.
They watched in horror as the changes took place on the road.
A moment later, another enormous head emerged from the water. It moved slowly, as if glancing at the extra mountain on its back, but then ignored it and slid its limbs forward.
Gu Yuanqing originally thought that with the tortoise taking the Sea Islands away, North Spring Mountain would remain in the same place.
But who would have thought that it wasn't like that at all? It was as if North Spring Mountain's Spatial Anchor in this world was not this space, but the mountain on the turtle's back.
In short, North Spring Mountain, which had originally remained in place, followed the Sea Islands as it broke through the waves, heading towards a vast and unknown direction.
"Is everything alright?" Li Shi'an asked hesitantly, unsure of his answer.
Ji Dai swallowed hard. "If this guy were to roll over, the whole Island would be submerged."
Li Shi'an gazed at the Divine Turtle's head and asked in bewilderment, "It hasn't Motion and Stillness for so many years, how come it suddenly woke up?"
"Perhaps the past few decades were just a matter of it getting tired and taking a nap, just like when we humans sleep for a night." Gu Yuanqing's figure suddenly appeared on this Side Peak.
"Young Master!" Everyone bowed in greeting.
Gu Yuanqing returned the greeting with a cupped hand, and then stood side by side with the others on the summit of the Side Peak.
Looking at the receding seascape, Gu Yuanqing felt a strong sense of disorientation.
North Spring Mountain was originally located in the Three Realms. As the Mountain Master, he could clearly sense the situation in the Three Realms. In the past, he had always stayed there quietly.
At this moment, the stillness of the Floating World and the Demon Realm contrasted sharply with the activity of the Cultivation World.
"The Heaven and Earth is so vast, it truly holds all sorts of wonders," Gu Yuanqing sighed inwardly.
Just then, the Divine Turtle suddenly sank into the sea.
Seeing the seawater about to rise, Li Shi'an and the others were shocked.
Gu Yuanqing was about to conceal North Spring Mountain in the Void to block the invasion of the seawater.
Suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared, protecting the entire Sea Islands in the center.
The Sea Islands was completely submerged in the sea, and the underwater world unfolded before everyone's eyes like a painting. Various strange creatures flew by, curiously examining the space on the turtle's back.
The Black Tortoise was not slow, but even when it entered the sea and faced countless waves, it remained as steady as Mount Tai.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; at least for now, nothing seemed amiss, and it had turned out to be a wonderful journey. Gu Yuanqing said, "For the time being, it's best if everyone stays within the mountains, just in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
Li Shi'an laughed and said, "This is a matter of Life and Death, as everyone knows. This Divine Turtle travels in the sea, and no one knows what might happen to it."
The light on the Sea Islands grew increasingly dim, and occasionally one could spot Great Demon, some tens or even hundreds of feet long, in the sea. But compared to the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, these creatures appeared small and adorable.
None of these sea monsters dared to approach the divine Divine Turtle; they all kept their distance.
Instead, this turtle continuously stirred up the water, swallowing one enormous monster after another into its belly.
The sea is vast and boundless, with no sense of direction; Sea Islands sometimes rise to the surface and sometimes sink to the bottom.
The people in the Mountain gradually got used to it.
Gu Yuanqing was somewhat relieved.
However, he was not in a hurry to re-enter the Ancient Realm. Entering and exiting the Ancient Realm would consume his Divine Soul. Now that he had withdrawn, his first priority was to truly transform what he had gained from the Ancient Realm into his own cultivation.
What one obtains in the Ancient Realm is merely the Dao Resonance Dao Resonance, which is actually an understanding of the Great Dao.
Although these insights would directly change the Heavenly Human World within the Ancient Realm, the Heavenly Human of the Ancient Realm is merely a manifestation of the Ancient Realm's Rules, not the true Heavenly Human World itself.
Therefore, after leaving the Ancient Realm, we must retrace the old path.
After Divine Soul Unity, Gu Yuanqing discovered that Split Soul into the Ancient Realm had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that the impact of the Dao Soul Years on his Divine Soul became easier to resolve.
The Heavenly Human Split Soul, while the original spirit resides permanently in the Divine Court; this has nothing to do with the amount of the Divine Soul that is divided.
Although the Split Soul consciousness may seem no different from the original body, once it returns to the main body, a distinction between primary and secondary consciousness emerges.
All that is seen and heard will be integrated into the body, which is like no longer a direct impact of the Dao Soul on the Divine Soul body, so the impact is naturally smaller.
However, the Dao Resonance insights gained from this were not as profound as those gained from fully immersing oneself in the Ancient Realm. When a split soul entered, the power manifested by the Rules the Ancient Realm differed from that of the original body, and naturally, some subtle insights gained within the Ancient Realm also differed from those gained from the original body.
However, considering all factors, the advantages of Split Soul to the Ancient Realm outweigh the disadvantages.
First of all, at most the Divine Soul will be damaged; there is no need to worry about death.
Secondly, they will not lose their fortuitous opportunity to climb the Heavenly Ladder because of this.
Moreover, the Divine Soul residing in the Physical Body is located in North Spring Mountain, where it still Mountain Gazing Enlightenment every day. Although the Dao it comprehends is not as profound as when the Divine Soul Unity, the sum of the two is far greater than one!
Gu Yuanqing spent nearly half a month finally integrating everything into himself, feeling that his cultivation had advanced another step.
He roughly deduced that Split Soul entering the Ancient Realm should ideally return to its original body every three months.
Firstly, Split Soul for too long is not a good thing. Only when the Divine Soul can one achieve perfection, and even the process of enlightenment will be somewhat different.
Secondly, with fortuitous opportunity both internally and externally, one can integrate and consolidate one's cultivation, improve one's Daoist practice, and then Split Soul outwards more efficiently!
Between his cultivation sessions, he took a few more glances at the Demon Realm.
The Nine-Headed Serpent would occasionally wander around the edge of the Dragon Demon Realm, but it never fought again, as if it were waiting for something.
With Tiger Lord's Split Soul personally guarding the exit of the Underground Cave, there were no further problems, and the Yin-Yang aura that had been sensed never truly appeared.
Gu Yuanqing also noticed something else: the Unicorn Beast, which he hadn't seen for a long time, and he didn't know where it had gone.
Judging by the time, Pei Yutang of the Sanyang Sect in the Ancient Realm may have already arrived at the Boundless River.
Gu Yuanqing wasn't in a hurry to go in. It was the Sanyang Sect that wanted to get revenge, not himself, so he naturally wouldn't let the enemy disrupt his cultivation rhythm.
