In the endless abyss, suddenly the black water separates, revealing a vast area of blue and yellow.
Like solid land.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be both smooth and angular.
Swish!
Amidst the endless waves, a massive neck suddenly raises.
With a head like a serpent, it rises high, swallowing black water, opening its mouth to roar.
"Moo!!!"
A sound reminiscent of a deep cattle bellow, yet it seems to suppress a flood dragon’s cries, spreading slowly.
Boom!
The black water subrges into the abyss once more, and the giant beast quietly gazes down at the few individuals by the edge of Mingyuan.
An elder erges timidly from above, slightly bowing to Lingtian City Lord.
"Senior Brother Ye, please!"
Lingtian City Lord nodded in acknowledgnt, "I trouble Junior Brother Lu."
Then he turned to Luo Chen, making an inviting gesture, "Friend, please!"
Luo Chen gazes at the giant beast, revealing a thoughtful expression, yet his steps don’t falter as he lightly ascends the beast’s back, holding Luo Lingxi’s hand.
His gaze directed toward the elder, the Lingtian City Lord alongside him begins to introduce.
"This is Junior Brother Lu Xianfeng, who has been tasked with ferrying duties for the sect for several hundred years."
The elder clasped his hands toward Luo Chen.
"This is Alchemy Sect Luo Chen!"
Luo Chen returns the gesture.
Thus, the two get acquainted.
Only now does Luo Chen have the ti to inquire about the giant beast carrying them.
"Is this the legendary Xuan Turtle of ancient tis?"
Lu Xianfeng calmly nods, "Friend has good insight, this indeed is the Desolate Beast Mysterious Turtle."
Luo Chen’s lips curl into a smile, "A Desolate Beast Mysterious Turtle? To , it seems more like a Ring-Headed Turtle transford into the Xuan Turtle, and its transformation isn’t entirely complete, with so Cliff Serpent features still remaining."
At this, Lu Xianfeng’s calm expression finally changes.
Recognizing a Xuan Turtle isn’t uncommon.
But being able to identify how this Xuan Turtle evolved is indeed astonishing.
Beside, Lingtian City Lord laughs, "Alchemy Sect truly has vast knowledge, recognizing this beast’s origins with just a glance."
Underfoot, the giant turtle swims leisurely, parting the black water, heading forward.
The motion is subtle, appearing slow, its broad back resembling land, seemingly unmoving.
But in the perception of a Nascent Soul True Master, the scenery on both sides is changing extrely quickly.
"In today’s world, Desolate Beasts are hard to find, many hide at the fringes of the wilderness, genuine Xuan Turtles are rare."
"This beast was cultivated from a blood-rich Ring-Headed Turtle ticulously nurtured by our sect, initially intended to develop into a Great Desolate Xuan Turtle as part of sect’s foundation, but alas, it grew in the Nether Abyss, resulting in incomplete transformation, becoming like this."
"Later, it was simply handed over to the Lu Clan for ordinary ferrying and carrying duties."
Underfoot, the Nether Abyss conveys a feeling of being able to consu everything.
Yet this Xuan Turtle can move freely within, calling it a defective product is sowhat excessive.
Yet allowing a Fourth Order Xuan Turtle to engage in such lowly tasks gives a glimpse into the Holy Land’s hidden depth.
Lu Xianfeng casts a deep glance at Luo Chen, then bids farewell.
Luo Chen watches his departing figure, curiosity piqued, "Lu Clan? Is it the sa clan where Pill Refiner Lu Chun ntioned by City Lord belongs?"
Lingtian City Lord nods, explaining so situations about the Dark Abyss Sect to Luo Chen.
The Dark Abyss Sect, although different from the Tianyuan Daoist Sect which is primarily driven by clan forces, has, over thousands of years of reproduction, unknowingly beco populated with clans internally.
Such as the Lu Clan, focused on Beast Taming, rising through pill refinent Chu Clan, and even the Ye Family behind Lingtian City Lord.
Perhaps the only difference is they don’t have strict clan prejudice, still allowing their clan mbers to apprentice under powerful masters from other families, continuing the orthodox inheritance of ntor-disciple tradition.
Luo Chen is curious, "Do any clans have Divine Transformation Great Power left behind, like the Twelve Great Houses of Tianyuan Daoist Sect?"
Lingtian City Lord shakes his head, "In our sect, once achieving Divine Transformation, the concept of clan dissolves, everything is geared towards sect interest. Even if a clan under Great Power has the substance of a Giant House, it lacks the na, unable to enjoy additional privileges, remaining akin to normal small clans."
Luo Chen smiles, not refuting, yet evidently not believing.
Taking himself as an example, due to his strong personal influence, his two Dao Companion Cultivators and even his only bloodline Luo Lingxi enjoy extrely special status within Luo Tian Sect.
All resources are available at one’s discretion.
A clan with Divine Transformation Great Power as support, how could it be the sa as others?
Passing over the topic, Luo Chen casually asks Lingtian City Lord about another matter.
"Why haven’t I seen Lei Daozi and Chong Ming, those friends of mine?"
"Are you displeased they didn’t escort the journey?"
"Haha, how could that be."
"Just kidding, Alchemy Sect wouldn’t be so petty. Lei Daozi returned to the sect early, as for Junior Brother Chong Ming, he’s newly out of seclusion, feeling restless, with a desire to travel. That visit to Luo Tian Sect was just a side event. At this mont, he probably already left Eastern Wasteland."
"Tsk tsk, Holy Land Disciples truly are carefree! Cultivation must return to cultivation, traveling back to travel, unlike us mortals, endlessly toiling."
"Alchemy Sect is too modest."
Amidst their intermittent conversation, the Xuan Turtle carrying them gradually approaches the shore.
Luo Chen pauses, gazing into the distance.
What he sees is a towering high mountain, seemingly no different from ordinary sect mountains.
Yet that mountain floats in the sky, without any base beneath it.
This extraordinary sight leaves Luo Chen greatly astonished.
"That’s Yanfu Mountain, where our sect’s three elders are cultivating in seclusion," Lingtian City Lord explains, then speaks of Yanfu Mountain’s origins, "This mountain possesses geomagnetic power, originally within the earth’s depths. Three thousand years ago, discovered by sect’s Great Power, utilizing extre thods, it was triggered, reversed in force, soaring into the sky..."
