In the world of no return, holding the sun and the moon

Chapter 123 Golden Tortoiseshell
The sleepy three-eyed golden lion felt a powerful breath of life appearing beside him, and his sleepiness could not help but decrease a little.

Being next to the Lake of Life, one can feel the strong vitality. But the vitality that appears now is even stronger than that emitted by the Lake of Life.

The gold of life in the Lake of Life was covered by the lake water. In addition, there was a terrible creature in the lake that was absorbing the gold of life to heal its wounds. As a result, the vitality emitted by the gold of life in the lake was not as strong as the exposed gold in Xiao Ming's hand.

The three-eyed golden lion looked at Xiao Ming curiously and asked, "What is this? I feel like it can nourish my body all the time."

Di Tian looked at Xiao Ming somewhat awkwardly. He had naturally never told anyone about the gold of life, not even the three-eyed golden lion. This thing concerned the future of soul beasts and could not be talked about casually.

Xiao Ming touched the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and then said: "Gold of Life, how about it, do you want it very much?"

The three-eyed golden lion's eyes brightened a lot, and then he nodded quickly.

Xiao Ming's smile deepened, and he took back the Soul Gold and said, "Then think about it."

When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion heard this, his brain short-circuited for a moment, and then he reacted and pounced on Xiao Ming. However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's action was intercepted by Emperor Tian.

After Emperor Tian stopped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he took a deep breath and said, "Although it is a great fortune for you to get this thing, this little bit of living gold is not enough."

As one of the few people on the continent who knew about the Gold of Life, Di Tian naturally knew how to use it. However, it was somewhat embarrassing to rely solely on this little bit of Gold of Life to lay the foundation for Xiao Ming to achieve the physical body of a God King.

Xiao Ming smiled knowingly and said, "What if I say I can still find the gold of life."

Hearing this, Di Tian looked at Xiao Ming in surprise, then glanced at the Lake of Life: "Oh? Then tell me about it."

Emperor Tian also knew that there was the Gold of Life there, but he would not say it. Now Xiao Ming said it, but the Gold of Life did not appear in his hands, which made Emperor Tian have to guess whether Xiao Ming knew the situation in the Lake of Life.

Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously, and then said: "I know there is another piece of living gold in the Xingdou Great Forest."

Di Tian's heart was worried by Xiao Ming. If Xiao Ming said it was the Lake of Life, then Di Tian would take action. Although it was not clear whether Xiao Ming understood the situation at the bottom of the Lake of Life, it was worth breaking his promise for the future of the soul beast.

Of course, a strong man like Di Tian would not breach the contract at will. The strong have the pride of the strong. But if Xiao Ming really touches Di Tian’s bottom line, then Di Tian will be forced to violate the agreement and take direct action.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming's subsequent words put Di Tian at ease.

"Di Tian, maybe you don't know that there is a soul beast in the Xingdou Great Forest that has this thing in its body."

Di Tian heaved a sigh of relief and no longer thought about how Xiao Ming knew the news. He just casually asked, "Can the gold of life appear in the body of a soul beast?"

Di Tian knew the conditions for the formation of the Gold of Life. If it were not for the abundant vitality of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Gold of Life would not appear in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Ming didn't want to say much. The more he talked, the more questions would arise. Although there was a way to explain it, it was better to say less.

So Xiao Ming just said: "Do you know the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Clan?"

Di Tian nodded: "Of course I know, but the gold of life is not just about having strong vitality."

Xiao Ming waved his hand to interrupt Di Tian's words, then leaned close to Di Tian's ear and said, "Tell me a secret. Didn't I say before that someone in the God Realm wanted to block my path to becoming a god?"

Di Tian nodded, and Xiao Ming continued: "My situation is not limited to this. I will tell you another secret. Someone wants to devour the Douluo Continent and become the master of the plane of the Douluo Continent."

Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Di Tian's face was once again filled with shock, and then he asked, "How did you know that?"

At the same time, Di Tian took a cryptic look at the Lake of Life. Xiao Ming said at that time that there were gods in Shrek who would hinder Xiao Ming's path to becoming a god, but Di Tian didn't believe it. After all, Xiao Ming's configuration could become a god king if he worked hard, and there shouldn't be any gods that would hinder his growth, but now...
If what Xiao Ming said was true, would that god be watching Xiao Ming all the time? If so, would he have exposed something?

Xiao Ming saw Di Tian's shock and a hint of panic in Di Tian's eyes, so he hurriedly comforted Di Tian.

The three-eyed golden lion beside the two of them looked at Di Tian with some confusion. Although he didn't know what Xiao Ming said, the news that might shock Di Tian must be a shocking secret.

After Di Tian's emotions stabilized, Xiao Ming continued, "Douluo Continent has been around for so many years, so naturally there are plane spirits. I am where I am today thanks to the support of the plane spirit. It wanted to protect itself from a certain god, so it chose me to be the son of the plane, and told me all this. As for that god, I think he doesn't know of my existence yet."

According to Tang San's character, when he saw that Xiao Ming was so talented, he would take action immediately. This was also the reason why Xiao Ming was so panicked when he saw Wang Dong entering his room during the Soul Master Competition. However, Wang Dong's performance afterwards also made Xiao Ming feel relieved.

Di Tian looked at Xiao Ming with some suspicion. He couldn't tell whether what Xiao Ming said was true or false. But it didn't matter. Since Xiao Ming said that he hadn't been discovered by any god, it wouldn't be a big problem. If Xiao Ming was followed by the god's sight, then he would be in trouble.

Xiao Ming noticed the suspicion in Di Tian's eyes, so he smiled knowingly and said, "Whether what I said is true or false is not important. What is important is whether the throne of the God King will fall on my head, isn't it..."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian shook his head and said, "If what you said is true, and that god has not discovered you, and you still have the identity of the Son of the Plane, then I will fully support you like the Snow Emperor, even if it means letting the Red King become your spirit ring."

Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. The Red King should stay in the Xingdou Great Forest. After all, his cultivation is not for nothing, right?"

Di Tian glanced at Xiao Ming, then looked at the three-eyed golden lion with a curious look, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, okay, kid, working with you is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

Di Tian was extremely satisfied with Xiao Ming's current performance. Whether it was the fact that Xiao Ming had let go of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion twice in a row or about Xiao Ming's future path, Di Tian could see that Xiao Ming was a good partner.

Xiao Ming did not refute Di Tian, but changed the topic and continued the previous one: "Can we go to the Golden Hawksbill Turtle now?"

Di Tian nodded, grabbed Xiao Ming, and left the Lake of Life, leaving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion standing there in a daze. The rising sun shone through the treetops, and a huge pool of water at the edge of the core area of the Star Forest was extremely conspicuous under the sunlight. On the rocks beside the pool, several golden hawksbill turtles were leisurely enjoying the warmth brought to them by the sunlight.

In the dark woods, Di Tian and Xiao Ming were observing the golden hawksbill turtles. With Di Tian hiding themselves, neither of them was discovered by the golden hawksbill turtles.

Di Tian, who had been observing Xiao Ming for a while, could no longer bear it and asked in a low voice, "Why are we like thieves?"

Xiao Ming shook his head and responded in a low voice: "You don't understand. Our target is a little special. He might run away when he sees you."

Hearing this, Di Tian was a little surprised. As the strongest person in the Star Dou Great Forest, most soul beasts would be timid when they saw him. How could there be soul beasts that would avoid him? With such doubts, Di Tian continued to observe with Xiao Ming.

Just when Di Tian was about to lose his patience, Xiao Ming touched his arm and pointed to a golden hawksbill turtle. Di Tian immediately looked in the direction Xiao Ming's finger was pointing.

A tortoise shell with a diameter of two meters came into view. From the outside, it looked the same as other golden hawksbill turtles, but Di Tian felt something different from it.

Generally speaking, if the golden hawksbill turtles are not threatened by natural enemies, they can rely on their tenacious vitality to live for 200,000 years. Judging from the appearance of this golden hawksbill turtle, it is only about three or five years old, but its vitality has already entered its old age, which makes Di Tian a little curious.

Seeing that Di Tian had already locked onto the golden hawksbill turtle, Xiao Ming said, "This is it. Take it back to the Lake of Life. I'll tell you more about it after we get back."

Di Tian originally wanted to investigate the situation of the golden hawksbill turtle carefully, but Xiao Ming had already said so, so it would be the same to take it back and ask slowly. The dark dragon claws stretched out from the forest, and when the surrounding golden hawksbill turtles did not respond, it directly grabbed the golden hawksbill turtle that Xiao Ming mentioned.

After doing all this, Di Tian did not stop, holding the golden tortoise in one hand and Xiao Ming in the other, he ran towards the deepest part of the Xingdou Great Forest. Di Tian's speed was so fast that in the moment when Xiao Ming was in a trance, he had already reached the edge of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian, who had just stopped, did not ask Xiao Ming, but looked at the golden tortoise held in the dragon claws and shouted angrily: "Asshole, how dare you!"

At the moment of returning, Di Tian had already explored everything about the golden tortoise and knew the life gold in the golden tortoise's body. After Di Tian carefully felt it, he immediately discovered the origin of the life gold.

The golden hawksbill turtle was still in a daze, and was awakened by Di Tian's angry shout. After discovering that it was Di Tian, it said in fear: "Di Tian, I am not."

Before the golden hawksbill turtle could say anything more, a strong destructive ray began to emerge from the dragon claws. The huge soul power directly pierced the golden hawksbill turtle's shell, and its soul was also annihilated by Di Tian's huge mental power.

Di Tian exhaled a breath and looked at Xiao Ming with a complicated look. At this moment Di Tian couldn't understand Xiao Ming. At least Xiao Ming and Xingdou were cooperating now, and judging from Xiao Ming's character, he was not the kind of person who would destroy bridges after crossing them.

Xiao Ming on the side did not notice Di Tian's gaze, but walked to the stunned Three-Eyed Golden Lion, rubbed her delicate hair, and then said: "Don't be in a daze, you have never eaten a hundred thousand year old golden tortoise brain."

Hearing this, the three-eyed golden lion's eyes immediately sparkled, and then he looked at Di Tian with expectation. The 100,000-year soul ring on the golden tortoise's body had already exposed its age, so wasn't this definitely a benefit for himself?

The 100,000-year-old soul beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion also went to hunt it, but never succeeded. Because of the special nature of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the group of 100,000-year-old soul beasts did not dare to harm her, so they usually took a detour and did not give her any chance. Now a 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle appeared in front of him, wasn't this giving him a chance?

Emperor Tian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in silence, and nodded reluctantly. However, before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion ate, Emperor Tian took out the Life Gold from the Golden Tortoise's body and threw it to Xiao Ming.

“Since it is the guidance from the plane, you can take it first. Later, I will tell you how to use the gold of life.” After saying that, Di Tian did not stay any longer, but turned into a black dragon and dived to the bottom of the Lake of Life.

The three-eyed golden lion saw Di Tian disappear and immediately pounced on the body of the golden hawksbill turtle. But before the three-eyed golden lion started to move, Xiao Ming pulled it aside.

Xiao Ming looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion helplessly. This was the body of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it couldn't be ruined by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Ignoring the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's dissatisfied look, Xiao Ming had a soul guide dagger in his hand and began to cut the body of the golden tortoise.

Just as the three-eyed golden lion was about to say something, Xiao Ming threw the golden tortoise's head in front of the three-eyed golden lion.

Xiao Ming's voice came: "This is for you. I have a use for the body of the golden hawksbill turtle."

The three-eyed golden lion did not object. She only needed the brain of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and the body was not important. The three-eyed golden lion swallowed the brain of the golden tortoise in one gulp, then lay aside and began to sleep.

Xiao Ming held his forehead with some helplessness. It was indeed the treasure of the Star Dou Great Forest. It was the dream of many people to sleep after eating. After complaining in his heart, Xiao Ming dealt with the body of the golden hawksbill turtle.

After a while, Xiao Ming took out an iron pot from the soul guide and took a look at the Lake of Life. Although many soul beasts have used the Lake of Life, it is not inedible, right?

An iron pot appeared by the lake. Xiao Ming poured some lake water into the pot, and then the sun's true fire appeared and began to heat the pot. At the same time, Xiao Ming put the processed golden hawksbill turtle into the pot and cleaned up the bloodstains of the golden hawksbill turtle by the lake.

With the extreme fire heating, a fragrance came out of the iron pot after a while. The three-eyed golden lion's nose twitched twice, then opened its eyes and teleported directly to Xiao Ming's side.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Xiao Ming curiously as he added seasoning to the pot, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ming glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said, "Cook. I need to eat, too."

After saying that, Xiao Ming looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again and found saliva flowing from the corner of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth. Xiao Ming was a little speechless, and then pushed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"You want to eat."

The three-eyed golden lion's eyes brightened again, and then he nodded.

Xiao Ming held his forehead with his hand, then pointed outside the Xingdou Great Forest: "Go find some more ingredients, I'll add some more ingredients later."

The moment Xiao Ming gave the order, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion disappeared from the spot. Not long after, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion came back with a bunch of things.

Xiao Ming glanced at the things that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion brought back, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It can be seen that the soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest have suffered. Whether it is the beehive with golden bear hair or the wild vegetables with demonic aura, Xiao Ming can feel the breath of some ferocious beasts.
