An upheaval at sea

Since the expulsion of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect, peace has been completely restored on Qian Yuan Island.

The Cultivator of the Six Sects of the North Sea continued to do hard labor, and as more people entered the Island, Qian Yuan Island gradually changed as a result.

It has acquired a bit of the true aura of the Sect.

However, under the pressure of World Conflict, cultivation remains the main theme.

Li Chengyi has stabilized at the ninth level of the Divine Platform Ninth Layer realm and has begun his journey towards the Void Heaven realm.

However, this step is far more difficult than advancing to a smaller realm.

But Gu Yuanqing was not worried. Li Chengyi had a solid foundation and a powerful Divine Soul. Under Gu Yuanqing's guidance, he had already begun to comprehend the Dao Resonance. It was only a matter of time before he achieved the Void Heaven Realm.

Gu Yuanqing's understanding of the Great Yi Array Dao True Understanding is also increasing, and the power of the Demon Subduing Sword Formation has reached a new level. When practicing and manipulating it, he is more adept at it, and can even form the formation instantly with ordinary Flying Sword without using the Demon Subduing Sword.

Meanwhile, in his spare time, he used his understanding of Array Formation to deduce the military formations originally used by the Great Qian and improved six Array Formation, which he then gave to Li Chengyi.

The Divine Eagle Guard, Huben Guard, Jinwu Guard, Yulin Guard, and Dragon Steed Army of the Great Qian Kingdom have all undergone changes and have truly become armies of Cultivator.

When combined with the main force, they can Empowerment fight against Cultivator are more than one major realm higher.

All of these are preparations for future World Conflict.

As far as Gu Yuanqing knew, the World Conflict was not necessarily a battle between experts; it could even be a war between Cultivator from two realms. Only when it actually happened would they know for sure.

Strengthening the power of the Floating World will also benefit him in the future, unlike now, when he has to personally take action whenever he encounters something above the Void Heaven.

On this day, Gu Yuanqing had just come out of the Spiritual Mountain Trial and was about to take a stroll in the North Spring Mountain as usual when he suddenly looked up into the distance.

A vast and powerful aura wafted from afar.

"What happened?" Gu Yuanqing focused his gaze, Void Piercing Heavenly Eye to look into the distance, but the distance was still too far to see clearly.

This aura was immense, yet it didn't resemble a battle between Cultivator.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, the entire Island suddenly trembled, and the sleeping Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle suddenly awoke.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the Earth Dragon Turn?"

"No, the entire Island is rising! The earthquake is also different from the usual Earth Dragon Turn we've encountered."

On the Island, the Cultivator were in a state of panic, especially those from the North Sea Sect, who had no idea what was happening.

Then, those standing on high ground who could see the sea stared wide-eyed as the entire Island seemed to be moving forward at breakneck speed.

After so many years of cultivation, this is the first time I've ever seen such a scene; it all feels incredible!

Even Zou Zhixing felt that what was happening before him was beyond his comprehension. His cultivation was sealed, and there was fog on the sea surface. He could not see the head of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle in the distance. He guessed that this Island must be on Law Treasure like the Sea Shaking Boat.

But what kind of Law Treasure could support such a large Island?

"No wonder there's no trace of this Island. Perhaps it wasn't here before, but migrated from somewhere else, just like it is now."

The Cultivator from the Floating World quickly quieted down, looking outside with excitement, focusing their gaze on the distance, where they could vaguely make out a huge head.

The Mountain Bearing Black Tortoise! This Divine Beast, which I had only heard of before, has finally been revealed to me in its true form!

Li Shi'an was somewhat taken aback. Their cultivation levels prevented them from sensing the Motion and Stillness coming from afar, and they wondered why the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle had awakened.

Judging from the length of time the Divine Turtle has been asleep in the past, it should be far from the time for it to awaken.

Gu Yuanqing's expression turned slightly serious. The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle had obviously sensed the Motion and Stillness in the distance and was heading in that direction.

He didn't know what was there, or what would happen after he went there.

Thinking of this, he transmitted his voice to Li Shi'an: "Senior Li, have all Cultivator from the Floating World return to North Spring Mountain. There have been some changes in the Cultivation World; I don't know if there will be any danger later!"

Li Shi'an immediately flew into the air, gathered his True Essence, and shouted, "Qian Yuan Sect disciples, return to the Secret Realm immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the Cultivator of the Qian Yuan Realm all used their movement techniques to return to North Spring Mountain. However, being curious about this matter for the first time, they all stood on the mountaintop and gazed into the distance.

However, the Island are too large, and some are far away, so those with weaker cultivation levels will need some time to get back.

Gu Yuanqing didn't bother with them. After all, the danger hadn't arrived yet. When it did, he could simply send them back to North Spring Mountain with a thought.

The Cultivator from the North Sea Sect whose cultivation had been sealed were at a loss. They had no idea what had happened, but seeing the Qian Yuan Sect disciples being recalled one after another, they were immediately filled with panic.

"Young Master, what should we do with these Outer Realm Cultivator from the North Sea Sect?" Li Shi'an asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuanqing had a thought, and a dungeon was carved out in North Spring Mountain. Only a narrow path led to the mountain where Li Shi'an and the others lived. Then, with a wave of his hand, he sent these Cultivator into North Spring Mountain.

He then relayed the information about the dungeon to Li Shi'an, instructing him. "If they're locked up for a long time, don't forget to send them some food occasionally. Their cultivation is sealed, they can't hold out for long, don't let them starve to death."

This time, the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle did not swim slowly as before; it moved forward at an extremely fast speed, almost comparable to the Evasion Technique of the Heavenly Change Realm, yet it did not stir up any waves in the sea.

It's hard to imagine that such a colossal creature could move at such a speed and still achieve this.

"This mastery of water manipulation is truly divine! Every movement is seamlessly integrated with the sea." Gu Yuanqing observed it with his Divine Sense and could vaguely sense the Dao Rhythm within it.

"As expected, this tortoise is not only huge, its cultivation level is also immeasurable!"

In fact, the fact that North Spring Mountain appeared not from a Spatial Anchor location in the Cultivation World, but from the location on the back of the Divine Turtle, indicates that this seemingly ordinary Island Taiyi.

According to Gu Yuanqing's speculation, the back of this Divine Turtle has its own space; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the Cultivation World of North Spring Mountain would follow the movement of the Divine Turtle.

However, at this moment, Gu Yuanqing was still unable to unravel the mystery!

Gu Yuanqing stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance. He could sense that he was getting closer and closer to the location from which he had previously detected the vast aura emanating.

At this moment, Li Chengyi rode his escape light to North Spring Mountain. He entered through the lower Memorial Archway and then climbed up the mountain, arriving directly beside Gu Yuanqing.

"Why did you suddenly come?" Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise.

Li Chengyi said with a hint of excitement, "My great-grandfather sent me a message saying that the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle has suddenly awakened. Something must have happened, how could I miss it! Father, do you know what exactly happened?"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "It's still unknown whether it's a blessing or a curse. Since we're here, let's wait and see!"
