Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 164 True Spirit Turtle
"Be careful. If there are living creatures in here, we will be in trouble. This civilization can capture real spirits."

Bai Lian said this as he walked around the crystals, as if looking for something.

Fu Qingsu also discovered that those crystals not only preserved living creatures, but some also contained innate spiritual treasures, acquired spiritual treasures, or various high-level spiritual plants.

This place is a treasure trove.

Yi Ling walked to a floating crystal.

Reach out and gently touch this substance that can isolate the original power.

Even a discerning eye cannot analyze what material this substance is made of.

Obviously, this substance is also one of the pinnacle of this civilization's technology.

Looking at the creature among them, he found that the creature's blood carried a lot of strange auras.

Those auras probably come from various true spirits.

"Could this feeling be the direct fusion of the True Spirit's blood, and the direct acquisition of power from the True Spirit's blood?"

Yi Ling feels that this civilization is fundamentally different from the current cultivation in the Immortal Kingdom.

The present-day cultivators of the Immortal Kingdom, through practice, slowly evolve their bodies into life forms close to true spirits.

This civilization directly uses transformation to acquire some of the power and corresponding lifespan of a true spirit.

Perhaps this civilization's bloodline technology has reached its peak, and cultivation is a very inefficient thing in comparison.

Yi Ling couldn't judge which path of cultivation or transformation was better.

but.

"This method is somewhat similar to my father's biological research."

Thinking of this, she was about to put away the crystal in front of her.

Suddenly I found that the magic space could not accommodate the crystal.

A spirit stone appeared in the palm of his hand and then disappeared.

"This crystal can actually resist the power of space?"

As he thought about it, a golden-white flame emerged from Yi Ling's palm. After burning for a while, the crystal showed no abnormality and the fire could not do anything to the crystal.

At this time, Fu Qingsu also came to Yi Ling.

“This crystal can resist energy and physical impacts, and we probably can’t destroy it by force with our cultivation level.

However, there is a way to open these crystals."

Perhaps Fu Suqing saw that Yi Ling had not taken any action for a long time, so she came over and said something.

Yi Ling's wisdom is running to its limit.

I found that the crystal in front of me was like a complicated device that required a lot of troublesome steps to open.

My keen eyes cannot see the essence of crystal, but after understanding the structure of this code, I can still deduce the method.

Yi Ling took a look at the creature in front of him.

This is undoubtedly just a corpse, and the soul inside it no longer exists.

Thinking of this, Yi Ling continued to use magic to make various sounds, sometimes knocking on the surface of the crystal, and sometimes using magic to attack various parts of the crystal.

The way to open this crystal may be a combination of spells, but Yi Ling does not know the corresponding spells, so he can only open the crystal through the method he just deduced.

After a while, the crystal in front of Yi Ling kept rotating and slowly opened a big hole.

Yi Ling took a look at the corpse and put it into his magic power space.

"It takes so long to open a crystal. It seems I need to choose one."

Yi Ling kept looking at the crystals one by one.

Most of them are the corpses of these white creatures, and some are high-level spiritual plants and spiritual minerals.

However, with a discerning eye, most of those high-level spiritual plants had not only lost their vitality, but were also close to decay.

It seems that even if it is preserved by the power of origin, it cannot resist the corrosion of time.

Most of those innate and acquired spiritual treasures have lost their effectiveness.

The corpse was well preserved. I wonder if there was something special about the structure of the crystal that preserved the corpse.

Yi Ling carefully selected and collected several corpses that had been fused with a lot of true spirit blood.

After looking at these crystals, Yi Ling vaguely felt that the creatures of this civilization might have really arranged corresponding means of resurrection, but they probably had missed the right time, causing the preserved souls to completely perish in the origin.

No one knew how long the Red Sand Realm had been wandering in the dark and lightless void, causing even the extremely sturdy innate spiritual treasures to be destroyed by the passage of time.

Of all the things here, the most attractive to Yi Ling is undoubtedly knowledge. However, he doesn't know what carriers are used to store knowledge, and whether those carriers are damaged.

Yi Ling suddenly stopped in front of a crystal, his eyes slightly fixed.

She was a little surprised because the creature in the crystal in front of her actually had a faint breath of life.

The creature preserved in the crystal before him was not a white creature, but a gray-black turtle the size of a palm.

This turtle is undoubtedly a real spirit cub.

There are generally two ways for true spirit cubs to be born. One is that the parents are both true spirits of the same kind, in which case there is a certain chance of giving birth to true spirit cubs.

The second is to be born from the intersection of void and nature, such as jumping out of a stone, breaking out of a fruit shell, etc. All kinds of ways are possible.

True spirits that are passed down through bloodlines, such as true dragons, celestial phoenixes, and black tortoises, are more famous, while those that are born from heaven and earth are generally more special individuals. They are unlikely to meet a second individual of the same species in their lifetime. The descendants of this kind of true spirits are generally spiritual beasts with true spirit bloodlines.

This turtle spirit was obviously not the more famous spirit like Xuanwu. There was no record of it in the jade slips she had read. It was probably a special spirit.

“Is it still in the state of a True Spirit Cub?

Judging from the scene here, the Red Sand Realm has been floating in the dark void for at least a very long time. Although this device has a certain effect in slowing down the passage of life, this true spirit should have survived all these years by relying on its long lifespan.

After such a long time, the other party has not grown up and is still in the cub state.

Is it a magical power like rejuvenation or a disguise?"

After thinking about it, Yi Ling stretched out his hand.

If it was an adult, with the strength of a True Immortal in disguise, and had been exposed to wind and rain for such a long time, it certainly could not be in its prime.

If it really was a true spirit cub, she would care even less.

Today's cultivation is a system of cultivation based on the evolution of the true spirit.

Her own foundation may not be much worse than that of a true spirit cub.

As the crystal rotated, the gray-black turtle slowly opened its eyes. Its confused look suddenly became lively, and its eyeballs moved around, finally looking at Yi Ling.

Yi Ling also looked at the other party.

The aura of the true spirit in the little turtle was instantly restrained completely, and its eyes became clear and stupid.

Yi Ling: “.”

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Qingniu.

The turtle's short limbs kicked a few times and appeared at Yi Ling's shoulder. Then it retracted its body into its shell and began to slowly absorb the thin original power in the space.

Yi Ling looked at the tortoise shell on his shoulder and his eyes moved.

She sensed no ill will.

Buddhists who practice supernatural powers are very sensitive to the malice of living beings.

Glancing at the turtle.

There is absolutely no way to contract a true spirit into a spirit beast.

In other words, as the true spirit is the closest to perfection in the world, the Taoist Academy has not yet developed any spells that can restrict or control the true spirit for a long time.

Yi Ling originally wanted to communicate with the turtle through telepathy.

But when I thought about the fact that I didn't understand the language of this civilization, I knew that the other party definitely didn't know the language of the fairyland.

However, the communication between true spirits in the void is somewhat different from the language communication between intelligent creatures.

I haven't learned any magical powers related to spiritual communication.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back."

Yi Ling didn't think too highly of the True Spirit Turtle.

The main thing is that it seems that this turtle takes a very long time to grow up.

It may take tens of millions of years for the turtle to stand up after its death.

Yi Ling began to look for new crystals.

While flying, the tortoise shell on the shoulder moved slightly.

Yi Ling paused, then changed direction.

As the turtle shell swayed left and right, Yi Ling flew around aimlessly. Suddenly, she seemed to have passed through a space membrane.

Tall towers made of crystals from the outside world are suspended in this space.

Yi Ling entered a high tower.

"I see. Knowledge can be directly recorded and preserved on this crystal in the form of text."

On the bookshelf, there are crystal volumes made of crystal materials, as well as crystal boxes.

After Yi Ling deduced the corresponding method, he opened a crystal box.

A row of square-shaped objects appeared before my eyes.

Yi Ling reached out to pick up a piece.

As soon as the hand touched it, the object turned into smoke and disappeared.

It seems that the information that this civilization has saved using digital means is about to be lost due to the passage of time.

Pick up the crystal scroll with the recorded text.

Yi Ling looked at the crystal scroll in her hand with a bit of helplessness, she couldn't take the crystal.

Perhaps sensing Yi Ling's intention, the tortoise shell on her shoulder emitted a strange gravitational force.

On the crystal tower, rolls of crystal scrolls were sucked into the turtle shell.

Except for the crystal scroll, the True Spirit Turtle did not touch any of the other boxes.

This crystal is a good thing, it has a sense of being invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.

"If possible, collect all the crystal towers here."

When Yi Ling saw that the True Spirit Turtle had this ability, she couldn't help but become interested. She not only wanted to put away the crystal tower here, but also the crystals in the outside world.

Seeing the turtle was motionless.

Yi Ling thought that the other party didn't understand what he meant, so he used his hands and feet to explain.

The turtle probably found it interesting, so it let Yi Ling keep gesturing, pretending it didn't understand.

Ok?
Yi Ling couldn't help but frown. The true spirit was not an animal without intelligence. It should understand what he meant anyway.

At this moment, a light flashed on the turtle shell and an image appeared.

After reading it, Yi Ling frowned slightly.

According to the turtle's explanation of the image, these towers are the key foundation that supports this space. If they move, this space will collapse, and everything within the space will be shattered and assimilated by the chaotic original force.

Similarly, those crystals outside are also the base of the array.

In fact, when the three of them touched the crystal, some formations had already been activated in this space.

The effects of these activation formations are extremely secretive and can silently block the senses of living beings.

This method of moistening things silently will not cause any sense of crisis in living beings.

If you are too greedy, you will definitely be harmed by those formations.

"In that case, put away the books and boxes here."

Yi Ling gestured and said.

The True Spirit Turtle was really cautious and let her leave with a tower of books.

How could Yi Ling be satisfied? According to the True Spirit Turtle, the formation here was extremely sophisticated. Even if the erosion of time caused a certain delay effect, the residual effect was enough to keep out any living creature that had entered once.

Unless Yi Ling is able to break in with her own strength one day, it will be completely impossible for her to enter again by taking shortcuts like Bai Lian did, because the formation of this space has recorded her life breath.

The turtle was a little helpless, and seeing that Yi Ling insisted, he could only continue to put away the crystal boxes.

Then the tall towers swept past one by one.

After collecting fifty high towers, the turtle refused to accept any more crystals. Its shell kept shaking, urging Yi Ling to leave quickly.

"Forget it, these gains are enough."
