After a day and a night, Zhang Ling drifted with the clouds for hundreds of miles before he truly settled down. After leaving the concealing clouds, he remained in a stealthy state, flying upwards through the cloud layer.
Before long, he spotted a deserted island. Zhang Ling directly used Earth Tunneling to enter the interior of the island, carving out a simple cave.
He immediately released the Two Elements Gourd, and was about to release the Xuan Turtle directly, but he hesitated and stopped.
"It's better to be safe."
Zhang Ling chuckled softly, and with a change in his hand seals, the Two Elements Gourd transformed directly into a giant gourd over two zhang tall, emitting a large cloud of azure and white Qi, enveloping himself. He, on the other hand, entered the gourd.
He thought about it and decided to deal with the turbid Qi before releasing the Xuan Turtle, lest there be something tricky about the attack. If the big-headed monster noticed and chased after him, it would be bad. After all, there are many tracking secret techniques, so it's better to be cautious.
The Xuan Turtle in the gourd had already turned into a giant ice block.
After Zhang Ling came in, the Xuan Turtle shook its body, and the ice on its body melted away. The second soul emerged from the Xuan Turtle's head, and said leisurely.
"The last attack released by that old guy was indeed a bit strange. Although it was suppressed, it is extremely troublesome to remove. Relying on the Xuan Turtle alone would take at least half a month to completely remove it."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Ling sneered, and gently tapped the Heavenly Star Sand beneath his feet. A cloud of quicksand emerged, wrapping the Blood Soul Cauldron inside. Several spiritual powers struck it, and the treasure spun around, transforming into a giant cauldron two zhang in size.
"Based on my speculation, this big-headed monster may be related to the red-faced cultivator I killed before. This person may even be a cultivator from Snow Moon Tower. It may not be a coincidence that we ran into this person," Zhang Ling muttered to himself, looking at the Blood Soul Cauldron.
Then, with a change in the hand seals, a cloud of essence blood entered it, and a large cloud of blood mist emerged, covering the Xuan Turtle's body all at once.
The second soul also merged into the Xuan Turtle's body in a flash. With their cooperation, they began to remove the special turbid Qi from the Xuan Turtle's body.
A quarter of an hour later, the Xuan Turtle opened its eyes, its body circulating with icy mist, and it had recovered as before. As for the injuries it had suffered before, including the knife mark on its head, they had long since recovered.
With the Xuan Turtle's regenerative body, such flesh wounds could be recovered in a short time.
Zhang Ling then let the Xuan Turtle hide in the Two Elements Gourd to recuperate, and he himself left the Two Elements Gourd, took out a few bottles of elixirs, and sat on the ground to recover his consumption.
In the previous battle, he also suffered some minor injuries, and several flying swords were also damaged. Naturally, he had to repair them.
A few days later, in the simple stone cave.
Zhang Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming seals, and a wisp of bright yellow flame spewed out from his mouth, constantly burning two flying swords.
Strangely, as the two flying swords slowly rotated, all the flames disappeared into the flying swords, as if they had merged into them.
This scene lasted for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ling exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and withdrew the flames.
The two flying swords fell in front of him. With a light flick of his finger, the flying swords let out a burst of sword鸣声, shaking slightly, and sword lights appeared around them, looking extremely sharp.
"Finally finished refining, I didn't expect it would take so long," Zhang Ling muttered to himself. These two flying swords were the natal flying swords that were damaged during the previous battle with the big-headed monster.
Although the damage was not too serious, it took him more than half a month to continuously train with Dan fire to recover as before.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely make that big-headed monster pay the price.
The flying sword flashed with a green light and directly merged into his body, appearing in the dantian. With a thought, he was about to put the flying sword into the Two Elements Gourd. But at this moment, the Two Elements Gourd, which was also in the dantian, trembled violently.
Zhang Ling's face changed slightly, and he took the gourd out of his dantian.
He saw that the gourd was trembling violently at this moment, somewhat out of control. It was as if something inside was about to rush out.
He instantly knew what the reason was. It turned out that it was the Xuan Turtle inside that was playing tricks.
Zhang Ling quickly cast a spell on the gourd, and the mouth of the gourd faced down, spraying out a large cloud of azure and white Qi. The fog was wrapping a Xuan Turtle several zhang in size.
As soon as the Xuan Turtle appeared, it filled the entire stone cave. At this moment, the aura on the Xuan Turtle's body was somewhat strong and weak, fluctuating greatly.
What's going on, could it be that the previous turbid Qi was not completely removed.
Questions arose in Zhang Ling's mind, but when he scanned with his divine sense, he did not find any trace of turbid Qi on the Xuan Turtle's body, obviously not for this reason. He immediately separated a wisp of divine sense and communicated with the second soul on the Xuan Turtle's body.
After a while, Zhang Ling's face couldn't help but become strange. Then his face became solemn and he nodded to the Xuan Turtle and said.
"So that's how it is, since you are confident, then give it a try. But it's best to suppress it first, this is not a good place to break through, I will find a safe place as soon as possible."
After speaking, he waved his hand and directly put the Xuan Turtle into the largest spirit beast bag on his body.
At the same time, he took out a large number of water-attribute spirit stones and ice-attribute spirit stones from another storage bag and placed them inside. Most of them were middle-grade spirit stones, and there were also a dozen or so top-grade water-attribute spirit stones.
After doing all this, Zhang Ling patted the spirit beast bag lightly. "The second soul actually sensed a breakthrough opportunity, I don't know if it's good or bad." He showed a complicated expression, as if talking to himself, and as if he was pondering something.
But thinking about it, this is really possible.
His second soul was originally condensed from the Xuan Turtle's original demon soul, and it was extremely compatible with the Xuan Turtle's body.
In the previous few years, the second soul has been unable to control all the spiritual power in the Xuan Turtle's body, but now it has sensed a breakthrough opportunity. Zhang Ling is naturally overjoyed.
Once the second soul completely controls the Xuan Turtle, then he will really have a transformed demon beast clone. At that time, even if the main body does not break through to the Nascent Soul cultivation, relying on the Xuan Turtle will be enough to not fear any cultivator.
It's just whether it can succeed, Zhang Ling is a little uneasy, there may be many dangers in it that he does not know.
However, this kind of opportunity to break through the great realm is just a special feeling, or a kind of opportunity. This kind of opportunity is fleeting, if you delay it, it may disappear.
So what he has to do now is to take the Xuan Turtle to a safe place for the second soul to break through.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly and pondered. He originally planned to repair and go directly to Myriad Manifestation City, but now that the Xuan Turtle is about to break through, he obviously can't go to Myriad Manifestation City.
If an eighth-order turtle demon breaks through in Myriad Manifestation City, the commotion it will cause will be extremely great. This is extremely dangerous.
