My Optimized Immortal Life

Great wilderness.

On the small island.

Chen Qing was standing on the edge of the island at this time. Several array plates were rotating around him. Countless array patterns were spread across the void at the edge of the island, connected by spiritual energy and manifesting each other, making the entire island hidden in the mist created by the array.

At this time, several months had passed since Chen Qing comprehended the seven jade slips and other martial arts books. After using his innate abilities to help him comprehend, Chen Qing had some experience in the four arts of cultivating immortals, and his skills in formations had improved. He seemed to have realized something, and now he was only one step away from becoming a third-level formation master.

Looking back at the formation he had previously arranged on the island from his current perspective, Chen Qing discovered several more loopholes, and the structure of the entire formation could also be modified slightly, making the formation even more powerful.

Chen Qing activated his magic power and used the formation plate to connect the formation flags arranged on the island, making the formation patterns covering the surrounding area visible. He then used his magic power to modify these formation patterns, causing ripples to appear in the entire formation.

Although the formation covering the entire island was not too large, it still took Chen Qing several hours to modify it.

Looking at the formation whose spiritual energy fluctuations were more secretive and whose patterns were more obscure than before, Chen Qing nodded.

In this case, it can be considered pretty good.

Suddenly, Chen Qing's expression changed and he turned his head to look outside the island. In his spiritual sense, about dozens of miles outside the island, there was a demon beast with a demonic aura reaching the third level, swimming towards here.

A third-level turtle-shell monster?

Although Chen Qing's spiritual sense can now extend to dozens of miles away, the farther the distance, the vaguer the perception becomes. Only the breath is still as conspicuous.

Therefore, Chen Qing could only barely recognize that it was a turtle-like monster.

This monster had a clear goal and headed straight for the island. It seemed that it was acquainted with the dragon fish, which was a bit troublesome.

Chen Qing observed for a while and found that the turtle monster had a clear direction along the way, heading straight for the island.

This made him immediately confirm that this monster should be coming for the dragon fish.

After all, ever since Chen Qing came to this island, he has covered it with a formation. Even a third-level monster would find it difficult to discover the arrangement here unless it approaches within a mile. But when the turtle monster came here, it came directly towards the island.

Chen Qing stood there, thought for a moment, then jumped up, left the island, and found a place to stay several miles away, ready to wait for the turtle monster there.

In his consciousness, the turtle monster was only at the early third stage of cultivation. Although its aura was strong, it was still a long way from breaking through to the middle stage. Even if it was a water monster, it would not be Chen Qing's opponent.

Monsters like the turtle monster have extremely long lifespans and are very good at defense, but their escape speed is not fast, at least not as fast as Chen Qing. Therefore, the distance of dozens of miles is a bit too long for it.

Seeing this, Chen Qing thought about it and set up some arrangements on the path that the turtle monster must pass. Although the turtle monster's escape speed was extremely slow, this place was a vast wilderness with countless water bodies, and the turtle monster was also a water monster. If it had any ability to turn into water, it might be able to escape from him, so he had to be cautious.

Thinking like this.

Chen Qing set up a formation here that could isolate the surrounding waters. In this way, as long as the turtle monster entered the range of the formation, it would not be able to escape by taking advantage of the water.

It didn't take long to set up the formation. As Chen Qing's formation skills improved, he became more and more proficient in this area. Even if it was a top-level second-level formation, as long as it didn't cover hundreds of meters, Chen Qing could complete it within half an hour.

The formation that is now set up to isolate the water area is only of the lower second grade, but it has excellent concealment and is not easy to be detected.

It naturally wouldn't take Chen Qing long to set it up.

After the formation was set up, Chen Qing directed his spiritual sense towards the turtle monster and found that the latter was still more than ten miles away from here. With the latter's escape speed, it would arrive in no time.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Qing mobilized the magic circle to completely cover himself and Chen Qing.

The turtle demon gradually approached, and its appearance gradually appeared in Chen Qing's eyes.

I saw that this turtle monster had two horns on its head, white scales on its limbs, and strange patterns all over its shell, with demonic energy flowing through it.

This is...a white-scaled double-horned turtle.

Chen Qing thought to himself.

He had seen this white-scaled double-horned turtle in a book he had found in the Dharma Library. It was a book that specifically recorded the monsters in the Great Wilderness Marsh.

According to the description, the White-Scaled Two-Horned Turtle is a monster with a large body and a shell that is comparable to the top-level magic weapon of the same level. It has excellent defense, its limbs are covered with white scales, and it has plenty of strength, far surpassing monsters of the same level. Its only weakness may be that its demonic energy is somewhat insufficient, making it difficult to activate the demonic energy throughout the battle.

If this white-scaled double-horned turtle is really as recorded in the classics, then it will not be difficult for me to kill this monster.

Chen Qing thought so.

This white-scaled, double-horned turtle focused on defense and could easily withstand attacks from the same level. However, Chen Qing possessed the three-colored spiritual flame, which, with its fourth-level rank, was enough to easily break the old turtle's defense. Its lack of demonic energy also meant it lacked sufficient means to resist his other spells.

While Chen Qing was thinking, the white-scaled two-horned turtle had already stepped into the formation set up by Chen Qing. Seeing this, Chen Qing was not anxious, but waited until the old turtle came to the center of the formation before activating the formation. At the same time, he raised his hand and a mysterious light of yin and yang was generated.

The white-scaled double-horned turtle originally looked indifferent, but suddenly sensed the rise of formation patterns around it, and at the same time, the aura of a Jindan cultivator appeared beside it. It was immediately startled, and then immediately sensed the gray mysterious light shooting from the blind spot.

It roared angrily, and demonic energy surged all over its body. The patterns on its shell emitted a yellow halo, and a faint shadow of the shell appeared, enveloping it.

The Yin-Yang Reverse Mysterious Light was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the white-scaled double-horned turtle when the turtle shell phantom rose, and hit the turtle shell phantom. The turtle shell shook again and again, and black smoke rose where the Yin-Yang Reverse Mysterious Light hit it. Then, gray light shot through the turtle shell phantom, hit the water surface next to the turtle monster, and corroded a small hole.

When the white-scaled double-horned turtle saw that its shell was broken, it was immediately horrified and knew that it had met an enemy that it could not defeat. So, it immediately used its spiritual consciousness to transmit a message, causing Chen Qing, who was hiding nearby, to show a look of surprise.

"I wonder which master is waiting for me, Old Turtle, here. Please show yourself. I am willing to offer you a ray of my spiritual consciousness."

Listening to the old turtle's telepathic message, even though Chen Qing was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still quite surprised.

Spiritual consciousness is the most critical part of the cultivation of cultivators at the foundation-building stage and above. It involves the origin. Even a True Lord at the Nascent Soul stage does not want his spiritual consciousness to fall into the hands of others.

And now this old turtle is willing to hand over his spiritual consciousness. This behavior is no different from selling himself into slavery.

Therefore, after seeing the old turtle "surrender" so quickly, Chen Qing was also stunned.
