The Demon Radiance Mountain was very large, and it contained many restrictions. They headed towards the mountainside, and in some special areas they passed, they could feel a powerful pressure. Fortunately, with two Illusion Demons leading the way, they only took a few detours and did not encounter any danger.
A quarter of an hour later, they saw a small, blue pool below a cliff. The pool was only a few miles in size and looked quite ordinary, but the sound of rushing water was constant. The water in the pool was slowly rotating, forming a strange vortex. In the center stood a giant tortoise more than ten feet tall.
The giant tortoise was entirely black, and the head that protruded from its shell was a flood dragon's head, roaring towards the sky. A strange black snake was coiled around its shell, making it look extremely ferocious. This image was indeed like the legendary Xuanwu.
However, upon closer inspection, the Xuan Turtle discovered that this was not the remains of a demon beast, but a stone statue carved from giant rocks.
"Is this the Xuanming Turtle? It doesn't seem to have left behind its physical body," he muttered to himself. The two Illusion Demons immediately explained to him.
"Great King, this Soul Suppressing Stone Statue is indeed the image of the Black Water King. The Black Water King is a tenth-order Xuanming Turtle, but the Black Water Great Demon King did not leave behind his true body, only a portion of his demon soul. Only turtles can approach the statue. Legend has it that it contains a legacy."
"I see."
The Xuan Turtle stroked his chin and stared at the giant turtle statue in the pool. With a flash, he intended to approach it, but as soon as he flew to the surface of the water, a powerful pressure suddenly weighed down on him.
He quickly mobilized his spiritual power to resist the pressure, staggering slightly, and barely stopped on the surface of the water. The two Illusion Demons, upon approaching the water's surface, also seemed to hit an invisible wall and were knocked away.
"Ouch, Great King, we can't get through."
"Then you wait here, I'll go take a look," the Xuan Turtle said without turning his head, and walked towards the statue step by step under the pressure.
With each step, a large splash of water was kicked up, and the pressure on his body became heavier. He was secretly shocked, the pressure on the surface of the water was so strong that even his demon beast body could hardly bear it.
At that moment, he felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him.
The Xuan Turtle took a deep breath and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to form a thick layer of black spiritual light, which only then dissipated some of the pressure.
It seemed that the statue in the water was only a hundred feet away from him, and he could fly over in an instant, but now he could only walk slowly like this.
After a long while, he only walked a small distance, his face was already pale, and his whole body was trembling.
The Xuan Turtle roared softly, his body flashing with spiritual light, revealing his true form. However, his true form was also greatly affected by the pressure and could only maintain a size of twenty to thirty feet. Fortunately, after revealing his true form, his movement speed increased a lot.
It took him a full hour to barely reach ten feet away from the Xuan statue. With his giant turtle body, he could touch the statue with one more step.
With a loud bang, he moved a few feet forward with difficulty, and his turtle claw just touched the statue.
Instantly, the Xuanming Turtle statue seemed to come alive, and a huge roar similar to a dragon's roar came from it.
At the same time, the pressure he felt instantly receded and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed. The statue shook a few times, and a ferocious giant turtle phantom emerged, which was the remnant soul of the Xuanming Turtle.
This turtle demon remnant soul looked down at him with great spirituality, and opened its mouth to spit out a black spiritual light. The black light flashed and directly hit him.
The Xuan Turtle trembled all over, and immediately sensed a divine sense power being transmitted, and a piece of information appeared in his mind. He transformed back into human form and sat cross-legged on the water, closing his eyes to sense it.
After another hour, he opened his eyes and took one last look at the Xuanming Turtle statue, then turned into a遁光 and flew to the edge of the pool.
"Great King, Great King, did you get the Black Water King's inheritance?" The two Illusion Demons immediately surrounded him, looking curious.
The Xuan Turtle just smiled and didn't say anything, and took them directly away from the Demon Radiance Mountain.
……
After leaving the Demon Radiance Mountain, the Xuan Turtle did not stay in the independent space for long, and directly passed through the stable space crack to the outside world.
The two demons, Golden Feather and Ape Five, were still waiting for him outside. Then they talked for a long time, exchanging cultivation experiences. This helped him a lot.
After all, these two demon cultivators had transformed for a long time, and they had a lot of cultivation experience that he could learn from. Thus, another three days passed before they left this ancestral land of the demon race.
In the high sky, two rays of light, one gold and one black, were flying rapidly. Suddenly, the two rays of light stopped.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xuanling wants to consolidate his cultivation, then let's part ways here, but Fellow Daoist must remember the agreement with Jin. Although there are some dangers in that place, it is very likely that it is the true sitting place of the tenth-order Xuanming Turtle. If you can find its true body, you may even get Xuanwu's true blood, which is a great opportunity."
"I will carefully consider Fellow Daoist's sincere invitation," the Xuan Turtle also nodded slightly.
Golden Feather then smiled, turned around and turned into a golden light and flew away, while the leisurely voice came. "I hope to see Fellow Daoist again in a few decades."
Watching this demon gradually turn into a light spot and disappear into the sky, the Xuan Turtle frowned slightly. The spiritual light in his hand flickered, and a piece of black hard armor appeared, only the size of a palm and extremely tattered, seemingly a material from some kind of demon beast.
He tapped his finger lightly on the piece of hard armor, making a clang sound like gold and iron. This object was extremely hard, and he could also sense a weak spiritual power fluctuation. It was like the spiritual bone of some kind of demon beast.
"This demon left behind this broken Xuanming Turtle carapace, I'm afraid he has other plans," Zhang Ling was also staring at the broken carapace and pondering.
"This thing is indeed a piece of armor that fell off the Xuanming Turtle. It is full of spirituality. Maybe Golden Feather really knows the burial place of the Xuanming Turtle."
"Are you so sure?"
"Not long ago, I got some information about the Xuanming Turtle in that Demon Radiance Mountain. The aura above this thing will never be wrong. Only by finding the true body of the Xuanming Turtle can I get the complete inheritance." The Xuan Turtle's affirmative answer made Zhang Ling frown.
Golden Feather intentionally left this turtle shell, obviously wanting to win over the Xuan Turtle, I don't know what his plan is, and the Xuan Turtle can definitely confirm that this is a fragment that fell off the Xuanming Turtle, then it will not be fake.
For the Xuan Turtle, if he can really get the complete inheritance of a tenth-order demon turtle, and even get the true blood of Xuanwu, it will indeed be of great help to his own cultivation.
However, he doesn't plan to consider these now. The focus of the next cultivation is still on his own cultivation. He will cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core as soon as possible to prepare for the impact on the Nascent Soul.
At the same time, the Xuan Turtle has just passed the Transformation Tribulation, and his cultivation still needs to be consolidated. Moreover, he has obtained some demon clan inheritance, and he has to digest it.
Zhang Ling moved his mind and let the Xuan Turtle spray out a large ball of ice-cold air, and temporarily sealed the turtle shell fragments in his hand. Then he also left the place and found a secret place to digest the things he had obtained in the past few days.
