Chapter 637: The Phantom Turtle's Origin
"Why are you asking this?" Jingtian then realized that the Phantom Turtle must be asking him this because of something.
The Phantom Turtle hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I want to."
Jingtian was speechless for a while, and then he was too lazy to ask any more questions. It’s up to you to tell me or not, but it would be better if you don’t ask him for anything at that time!
The atmosphere in the dimensional space became much more lively because of the addition of a little girl.
Especially a few girls, they teased the little fire lotus like a pet.
Fortunately, Huo Lian has a very peaceful personality. Although he is quite powerful, he is also willing to play with the girls.
In the next few days, everything returned to normal, and Jingtian had a new person to chat with, that is, the Phantom Turtle.
As for cultivation, Jingtian should look for Aoshui. If he wants to hear some strange stories, he should look for Phantom Turtle.
After all, with a lifespan of more than 5,000 years, he has seen a lot of things outside.
Although Ao Shui and his men are more than 30,000 years old, they have been under the sea for the past 20,000 years, so they are extremely isolated from news.
The Phantom Turtle used to be very arrogant, and Jingtian was just an ant in front of it.
And now? Jingtian is in the middle stage of foundation building, and his realm is comparable to that of a peak spirit beast, which is the same as the current realm of the Phantom Turtle.
Once the Phantom Turtle transforms, its realm will drop to the level before the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, Jingtian will truly completely suppress the Phantom Turtle.
Of course, the Phantom Turtle's soul power is still very strong, at least Jingtian is far inferior to it now.
There is a friendship contract between them, and they have a certain judgment of each other's strength.
"By the way, you were able to sense the existence of the crocodile dragon before, and now your strength has almost recovered. Can you continue to sense the existence of other spirit beasts or spirit stones?"
Jingtian had just finished practicing fire control today and came to chat with Phantom Turtle.
"Generally, powerful spirit beasts will appear with spirit stones . My perception can detect about three thousand miles through secret methods, but it is not always possible." said the Phantom Turtle.
"Three thousand miles? That's amazing!"
Jingtian raised his thumb and asked in confusion, "The crocodile dragon is at least 5,000 miles away from the Turtle Island. How did you know that?"
"I didn't stay on the Turtle Island before. I moved around everywhere. I knew about it before." said the Phantom Turtle.
"Oh, have you ever been to Antarctica?" Jingtian asked.
"There is almost no place on the entire earth that this Divine Turtle has not been to." When the Phantom Turtle heard Jingtian ask this, he replied proudly.
“This is even more amazing!”
Jingtian gave a thumbs up and praised again, then said with expectation, "Then you must know the locations of spirit beasts and spirit stones in various places."
"I don't know. There are only some suspicious locations. It was a long time ago when I was there. I haven't been there since the revival of spiritual energy." said the Phantom Turtle.
"That's basically useless. It's a waste of thousands of years." Jingtian went from admiring to pouting.
"If you say it's useless, then it's useless. I originally wanted to tell you a few places that are suspected to be the cave dwellings of cultivators." The Phantom Turtle said lightly.
"Cave for cultivation? Where is it?" Jingtian's eyes suddenly lit up.
My master and his mistress mentioned to me that when the earth's spiritual energy was exhausted, 99% of the cultivators left their homes and went to the outside world.
Many of these cultivators will leave some plans behind when they leave, hoping that one day the earth's spiritual energy will revive and the things they leave behind can help people with destiny to inherit their legacy.
For example, Master Jingtian and his two masters are from the Tianshan Sect, and they hope that Jingtian can rebuild the gate for them.
Of course, the sects and forces from ten thousand years ago are clearly no longer suitable in today's society.
So Jingtian can consider himself the descendant of the Tianshan lineage, but he does not necessarily have to establish a mountain sect.
"I said it's just a suspicion, not a certainty," said the Phantom Turtle.
"It's okay if it's suspected. We're traveling everywhere anyway."
"Then when you leave, follow my instructions for the route. Your goal is Antarctica anyway, and I will definitely help you reach your goal in the end. I will take you to explore some places." said the Phantom Turtle.
Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly. This phantom turtle must have its own purpose.
However, Jingtian also believed that the Phantom Turtle would definitely not have any bad intentions towards him, so there was no need to refuse.
"By the way, I still don't know your name. I call you Phantom Turtle but you refuse to admit it." Jingtian suddenly shifted the focus to Phantom Turtle's name.
"I don't care. You can call me whatever you want. I'm used to hearing you call me Phantom Turtle." The Phantom Turtle was unwilling to tell Jingtian his name.
"We are partners in a friendship agreement. It's not good for you to do this. Is there something you can't tell us?" Seeing the Phantom Turtle like this, Jingtian felt that there was something hidden.
"Now you are so powerful!" The Phantom Turtle looked at Jingtian with its huge eyes.
The Phantom Turtle's meaning was very clear. When Jingtian was weak before, he would never dare to talk to it like this.
This is indeed the reality. When Jingtian had no strength, he could feel pressure when talking to the Phantom Turtle, but now he doesn't feel that anymore.
Jingtian shrugged. "Just tell me. There are no outsiders here."
"Okay, then I'll tell you something." Seeing Jingtian like this, the Phantom Turtle did not refuse anymore.
Jingtian immediately became interested and nodded vigorously.
"Have you heard of the four sacred beasts?" The Phantom Turtle suddenly asked Jingtian a question.
"The four sacred beasts? Could they be the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise?" Jingtian raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that you are not completely ignorant." Phantom Turtle said lightly.
"Yeah, I've played it." Jingtian muttered softly.
"What?"
Mirage Turtle heard it, but didn't understand what it meant.
"It's okay, it's okay. Are you going to tell me that you are the sacred beast Xuanwu?" Jingtian directly changed the subject.
"Of course not." Phantom Turtle shook his head decisively.
"Then what do you think the four sacred beasts do? There must be a connection." Jingtian asked.
"Yes, Xuanwu is my father in a sense."
When Phantom Turtle said this, his tone was obviously different, and it sounded like there was some special emotion in it.
Jingtian opened his eyes wide in amazement; "Wow, so you are the son of a sacred beast, this is incredible!"
"What's the big deal? To be honest, I hate the Black Tortoise. It gave birth to me but didn't take responsibility for me. The Fire Lotus has its own elders to inherit, but I have nothing... except a longer life!" said the Phantom Turtle with some hatred.
Jingtian opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort the Phantom Turtle. It was also because he had no idea about the specific situation and it was not easy for him to make any comments.
From what the Phantom Turtle said, it was obvious that the Black Tortoise did not leave any inheritance to the Phantom Turtle, otherwise after thousands of years, even if its aptitude was poor, it would still be a super powerful existence.
And now, the Phantom Turtle has the current strength entirely because of its own efforts.
Jingtian hesitated for a while, and said with a consoling tone; "But you should also thank your father's sacred beast bloodline, otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach your current strength."
“Yes, without its bloodline, I might have become a pile of dry bones, and it would be impossible for me to cultivate to such a level on my own.” The Phantom Turtle smiled bitterly.
There was some hatred before, but it has disappeared now. It is obvious that the Phantom Turtle has very complicated feelings towards the Black Tortoise.
"Um...where is your mother, and where did the Black Tortoise go?" Jingtian asked.
"My mother was just an ordinary deep-sea turtle. She died after raising me for a hundred years. As for the Black Tortoise, I don't know where she went, but she must be still alive." said the Phantom Turtle.
"It turns out that your mother has been with you for a hundred years. You can be considered lucky. I haven't even seen her once." Jingtian said. This time it was his turn to express his emotion.
"Yes, those hundred years were the happiest and most carefree time of my life. Fortunately, my mother told me, otherwise I wouldn't even know who my father was." said the Phantom Turtle.
"Don't think too much. Even without the inheritance of the Black Tortoise, you are not bad now. As long as you reach the transformation stage, you can start formal cultivation."
Jingtian really wanted to take a picture of the phantom turtle, but he really didn't know where to start.
"Don't comfort me. In fact, I have traveled to every corner of the earth for thousands of years to find its traces. I believe it must have left something for me, but I just haven't found it yet."
There was a sense of self-comfort and self-encouragement in Phantom Turtle's words.
"By the way, I can tell you now. My name is Xuan Ao. It’s the name my mother gave me." The Phantom Turtle finally said to Jingtian.
"Xuan Ao? Sounds good." Jingtian quickly praised.
As for whether it is really good or not, Jingtian doesn’t care.
The Mirage Turtle could tell him his name and his life story. This was a kind of honesty between friends.
"I have told you everything you want to know. Remember to let me arrange the route when you travel." said the Phantom Turtle.
"No problem, we will go and take a look at some of the suspected caves for cultivation that you mentioned." Jingtian said straightforwardly.
Jingtian is absolutely very concerned about the exploration of the cave for cultivation.
At this time, Jingtian had some guesses as to why the Phantom Turtle had to arrange the travel route.
