Seeing Old Chen's eager expression, Jiang Jie kindly reminded him, " Uncle Chen, that's the Tortolla the Turtle Demigod..."
Jiang Jie's meaning was clear: You're not qualified to use someone as a mount...
"I know!" Old Chen glanced at Jiang Jie, thinking, "Do you really think I'm stupid?" He took a swig of wine and said, " Tortolla must have many offspring. I should try to get one!"
Jiang Jie: "..."
So, you've got your eye on someone else's child?
Jiang Jie gently shook his head.
Demigod were too far removed from him, especially since it wasn't some mortal like Illidan who had barely managed to become a god, but a tortoise Demigod who had lived since ancient times. He shouldn't be thinking about such things.
"Let's go, the Alliance camp should be over there." Jiang Jie pointed west, then pulled Old Chen and started walking in that direction.
Just then, he heard a deep, ancient voice. "Human, you carry the aura of my race..."
What was that sound?
Jiang Jie was stunned for a moment, then the natural mark between his eyebrows lit up, Cenarius's voice entered Jiang Jie mind. " Nicholas, come here for a moment, Tortolla wants to see you."
Jiang Jie quickly looked towards the World Tree and, sure enough, saw Tortolla's head turned towards him, its lantern-sized eyes looking at him with a gentle light full of wisdom.
Tortolla, the wise one among the Demigod...
Yes, wise man.
Each Demigod has their own title; for example, the Goldrinn the Wolf Demigod is called " Great Wolf," while the Tortolla the Turtle Demigod is called "The Wise One."
This wise man actually wants to see me?
Jiang Jie frowned, feeling that it probably wasn't a bad thing, so he greeted Old Chen and went over to take a look.
"What? That big tortoise wants to see me? Does he want to give me his offspring?" Old Chen stretched out his fat arm and scratched his head with difficulty, somewhat embarrassed. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Actually, I was just saying, pandas don't steal what others love..."
Old Chen was also a little excited and wanted to get up close and touch Tortolla to see how it differed from Shen-zin Su, so he followed along.
Jiang Jie was utterly speechless: So, does Tortolla want to see you or me?
Soon, they arrived before Tortolla and found Cenarius there as well.
The Lord of the Forest didn't look too good.
" Archimonde is about to launch his final assault. I sense his presence. He's climbing Mount Hyjal from Azshara, his goal the World Tree! Tortolla, I'll be waiting for you at the World Tree. We must buy Malfurion time!" Cenarius glanced at Jiang Jie, then turned and left without a trace.
"Human, you possess the aura of my race." Tortolla's eyes turned to Jiang Jie, her voice ancient and weathered. "This aura is strange; I've never seen it before... Can you show it to me?"
So, have you sensed the Black Tortoise Longevity Art?
Jiang Jie, of course, would not refuse Demigod's request. He nodded quickly and then actively activated the Black Tortoise Longevity Art, and the phantom of Black Tortoise appeared.
The Black Tortoise phantom at the Xiantian Realm is much more solid than that at the Houtian Realm, and it can already be seen very clearly.
A Black Tortoise stood up, overlapping with Jiang Jie, just like Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda, except that its tail was very long, like a snake, with the end of the tail being the snake's head!
"What kind of monster is this?" Old Chen was startled, but quickly came closer and stroked the Black Tortoise phantom with his hand. "Hmm? It looks a bit like a combination of a turtle and a snake? Strange, really strange! Interesting, really interesting! Nicholas, is this what you're planning to teach me?"
Tortolla stared at the phantom of the Black Tortoise for a full minute, then shook his head and said, "It's not one of my kind, but it possesses the aura of my race, and also some aura similar to the Jade Serpent ' Yu'lon '. Young man, what is it?"
"This is Black Tortoise, a combination of tortoise and snake," Jiang Jie quickly explained. "This creature doesn't actually exist; it's a figment of imagination."
"Imagination? No,"
"Young man, truth is falsehood, and falsehood is truth. What is reality? What is delusion? Which is real, Azeroth or the Emerald Dream? Which is false? When your soul and spirit reach our level, you will understand that delusion can also become reality." Tortolla shook his enormous head and said, "Young man, your path is so long, full of thorns, yet I see no end. Demigod possess the ability to create species; all the turtles of Azeroth are my offspring. Perhaps one day you can create a completely new species, the Black Tortoise you speak of."
Jiang Jie's eyes lit up!
As expected of a wise man, he figured out the ultimate secret of the Black Tortoise Longevity Art in such a short time!
If you cultivate the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to its fullest extent, you can truly change your genes and physical form, transforming into the Black Tortoise divine beast!
As for Demigod creating species, that is indeed the case.
Centaur were created by the Keeper Zaetar and a princess; the Keeper of the Grove and Dryad were created by the Demigod Cenarius; all the boars of Azeroth are descendants of Agamaggan; and all the Arakkoa of Northrend were created by the Demigod Rukhmar!
Creating species and propagating races is also one of the abilities of the Wild God!
"Young man, I have lived for countless millennia, slept for ten thousand years, and witnessed the birth and Devastation of countless species, yet I have never seen the Black Tortoise you have imagined. So, I will give you a little help so that you can make the Black Tortoise truly appear sooner."
Tortolla opened its mouth, and a faint light fell upon Jiang Jie's brow, merging with Cenarius's natural mark to form a small tortoise shell imprint. "This is my blessing to you... Archimonde is coming, this is not your battlefield! Go to the human camp, buy Malfurion time..."
Tortolla climbed towards the World Tree, but Jiang Jie stopped in place.
He closed his eyes.
The Demigod's Blessing is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Tortolla peeled off a wisp of its own soul and merged it into Jiang Jie's brow, turning it into a tortoise shell mark.
This tiny mark holds endless mysteries!
Even though it was just a wisp of Tortolla's massive soul, it brought Jiang Jie immense benefits. A tiny turtle soul floated in his mind, allowing him to directly comprehend the Tortoise Form by sensing Tortolla's soul.
Tortolla's life level is even higher than that of the Shen-zin Su, and comprehending it is more effective than comprehending the Shen-zin Su. The original Druid form originated from several Wild Gods and nature itself. Strangely, none of the Druid possessed Tortoise Form, and Jiang Jie couldn't understand why...
Why don't they want the ones with the strongest defenses?
Although Jiang Jie had no interest in transforming into Tortoise Form in the Druid's way, he could still bestow this wisp of soul blessing upon his Black Tortoise phantom.
Once fully integrated, his Black Tortoise True Form at the Xiantian Realm will essentially complete the tortoise portion, and even the portion with a soul. At that time, the Black Tortoise Armor or Black Tortoise Shield formed by the Xiantian Gang Qi will have a significantly enhanced defensive capability, making Jiang Jie's ability to survive even stronger.
Black Tortoise and Divine Turtle are primarily defensive, while Spirit Snake is primarily offensive!
Of course, now is not the time.
Just as Tortolla said, Archimonde is coming, and it's no longer safe here.
Tortolla and Cenarius will lead the Night Elf and nature Keeper to do everything in their power to prevent Archimonde from absorbing the World Tree's energy, while they head to the human camp to face the onslaught of countless demons and Undead, buying time for Malfurion.
