Chapter 382: Snake and Turtle Carrying the Mountain (Purple)

"The Yue Du Dragon Turtle... the Mountain-Carrying Snake Turtle?"

Liu Sheng chewed on the two names, his gaze sweeping across the panel, his expression a mixture of laughter and tears.

He had never seen such a red spirit before!

Purple (Great Demon), Orange (Old Demon), Red (Ancestral Demon), corresponding to the realms above Profound!

If his cultivation level is high enough to reach the Profound Realm, he can refine it into an avatar without damage.

pity……

The cultivation level was insufficient, causing the avatar to drop two ranks, resulting in only obtaining the Great Demon-level Mountain-Bearing Serpent Turtle.

(Note: The Long-Armed Demon Ape is one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys. It is born and raised by nature and is unique. Its essence and soul are refined and upgraded, which is an exception.)

All other incarnations currently exist in their corresponding species, propagated through bloodlines, and their refinement and ascension follow established practices.

Simply put, the Long-Armed Demon Ape, a unique creature in the world, has a different upgrade method than other incarnations; it is an exception.

Their species and bloodline remain unchanged, but their bloodline awakening level continues to increase, and they will be divided into juvenile, adolescent, young adult, and so on.

Moreover, each stage of bloodline awakening does not follow the typical level of progression from one level to the next incarnation. The youth form might be a great demon, the young adult form a patriarchal demon, and the adult form a celestial demon...

(Spoiler alert.)
This mountain-carrying snake turtle is probably the same species as the giant snake turtle on Snake Turtle Island that carries a mountain on its back.

It is enormous, resembling a small island from a distance, and possesses terrifying strength. Moreover, Du Renwang once mentioned that the snake turtle's speed is actually quite impressive, especially in the water, where it is even more astonishing.

As for how amazing it was, Lao Du didn't say, and Liu Sheng didn't ask, but he guessed it was probably related to talent.

"Forget it, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Besides, when my true form's cultivation level rises, I can use spiritual energy to upgrade this snake-turtle avatar..."

Liu Sheng took a deep breath to calm himself down, but looking at the four characters "Yue Du Dragon Turtle" on the panel, his heart still ached.

A mountain is a high place made of soil with stones.

The mountain above the mountain is called Yue, the Five Sacred Mountains of Heaven and Earth, which are the places where emperors toured and hunted.

The Du River originates from a single stream and flows into the sea. Its waterways are interconnected, nourishing the people's livelihood. It corresponds to the four constellations above and guards the four borders below. It is the border of the rivers and is where the emperor makes sacrifices.

The Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers represent the mountains and rivers, the very essence of the land.

This dragon turtle is named after mountains and rivers, could it be carrying a piece of land on its back and drifting on the ocean?
No wonder it could use supernatural powers and secret techniques to seal the turtle egg and keep it alive for thousands of years.

perhaps……

The Du family's Snake Turtle Island was transformed from the remains of the dead Yue Du Dragon Turtle.
The snake-turtle population on the island is also derived from its bloodline.
Liu Sheng's mind raced with various thoughts, and he had some vague guesses, but he quickly put them out of his mind.

It's all ancient history, so what? The most important thing right now is, of course, to refine the dragon turtle's essence.

He can still refine three more incarnations now, and the Yue Du Dragon Turtle has enough foundation, so it's hard to miss it.

"Refining!"

In an instant, the essence transformed into a rainbow light and entered Liu Sheng's body.

He vaguely heard a deep, resonant tortoise roar, which sent shivers down his spine.

At the same time, a terrifying aura, a mixture of yin and yang, seeped into his internal organs, limbs, and bones, transforming his body and imprinting his talent.

Normally, such a commotion would have caused him excruciating pain, but for him, who had mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and possessed an unparalleled physique, it was like receiving a massage.

Her gentle caresses, slow kneading, and delicate touches made him feel so comfortable that he almost drifted off to sleep...

Before I knew it, a long time had passed, and it seemed like I had taken a short nap.

Liu Sheng suddenly woke up, feeling an indescribable sense of ease throughout his body, as if he had been thoroughly cleansed from the inside out, leaving him feeling exceptionally refreshed.

He took a few gentle breaths and clenched his fists, then keenly noticed the changes in his body.

More flexible and agile, and with an invisible force, like a large lock, it firmly holds the body in place, minimizing all kinds of energy expenditure.

Moreover, the damaged parts can be recycled and stored.

In addition, his strength, as well as the hardness of his back muscles and bones, have increased significantly.

"Let me see what new amazing talents have emerged..."

With a thought, he summoned the panel, and lines of ink-wash text appeared before his eyes as if scrolling across a screen.

[Successfully refined the essence of the Yue Du Dragon Turtle, obtaining the "Mountain-Bearing Serpent Turtle" incarnation.]

[You have been granted the "Turtle Form," "Turtle Breath," "Return to Origin," "Chasing Waves," and "Mountain Carrying" talents for the Mountain-Bearing Serpent-Turtle Incarnation.]

The five talents are as expected. On the surface, we can get a general idea of ​​them, but we need to look at the specific characteristics described in the text.

However, let's first look at the introduction of the Mountain-Bearing Snake Turtle—

【Mountain-Bearing Snake Turtle (Purple)】

[Introduction]: Awakening a wisp of Xuanwu bloodline, he is fierce by nature and possesses both water and earth spirits. He often drifts on the deep sea and ocean.

Its body is like an island, with a snake's head and a turtle's body. Its shell is made of solidified earth and stone, like carrying mountains. It lives for thousands of years, does not eat fish or mutton, and feeds on the essence of Gen soil and Kan water. It is good at condensing earth energy and managing water veins.

……

Has the bloodline of the divine beast Xuanwu been awakened?
No wonder the Yue Du Dragon Turtle is a dark red Ancestral Demon level creature!
Moreover, the snake-turtle's appearance bears some resemblance to the legendary Xuanwu (Black Tortoise), which should have been expected.

However, judging from the description, the snake-turtle incarnation seems to be quite Buddhist. Besides being strong enough to carry mountains, it also has a long lifespan, starting at a thousand years.

They don't eat meat; when they're hungry, they absorb the essence of the soil and water to fill their stomachs.

No wonder it likes to float on the sea; only a place like the ocean with its infinite water volume can supply its needs.

If this happened on land, the land it passed through would likely turn everything into a desert, barren of everything.

It condenses the earth's energy, regulates water veins, and is related to its dual nature of water and soil.

In short, he's a super glutton who can eat and sleep a lot and live a long life?
It seems a bit disrespectful to the "Xuanwu bloodline".

Liu Sheng pursed his lips and quickly clicked on the five newly added talents—

[Turtle Shape (Talent)]: The turtle is known for its longevity, with a strong shell and supple body. Those who possess the "turtle shape" have a supple body and strong bones, appearing clumsy but possessing inner refinement, and enjoy a long lifespan.

[Turtle Breath (Talent)]: The carapace lies in the center, and the nose draws in the mysterious light. Those who possess "Turtle Breath" breathe in the fetal stage, storing their essence and locking in their source, their divine brilliance is contained within, and they will only grow old until death.

[Return to Origin (Talent)]: The Xuan Wheel turns the sun, possessing the art of restoring the heavens. Those who possess "Return to Origin" can consume their internal Qi, blood, true Qi, magical power, immortal power, etc., to restore other corresponding losses.

【Wave Chaser (Talent)】: Chasing waves and riding the tides. Those who possess this talent can chase waves in the water; the larger the waves, the faster they can go.

【Bearing Mountains (Talent)】: Bearing the weight of mountains and suppressing the abyss, armor transforms into dark rock. Those who possess this talent have the strength to bear mountains; the heavier the pressure they bear, the stronger their bones and muscles become.

……

There are five talents in total, each with its own unique characteristics.

After reading it word for word, Liu Sheng blinked, his lips gradually curving upwards until they stretched to his ears.

I previously thought that this mountain-carrying snake turtle was rather laid-back, and its innate talents would probably be unremarkable.

Unexpectedly, they gave me five very useful talents.

Moreover, it can be well combined with other existing talents to amplify each other's strengths.

For example, the innate talent of "carrying a mountain"...
