My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing waved his hand, and the formation surrounding the entire island immediately split into a hole for two people to enter. He and Xu Lingxin entered it, and immediately attracted the attention of the python lying on the ground.

The python looked up and saw Chen Qing and the other two, then a look of joy appeared in its huge snake eyes.

"Master, mistress."

Xiao Hei spoke, and his voice reached the ears of the two, causing joy to appear on their faces.

Xu Lingxin landed before Chen Qing. She stood beside Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei lowered his head consciously and let her touch him, with a look of attachment in his snake eyes.

Chen Qing also landed on the island and looked at Xiao Hei in front of him. The latter was dark all over, with snake scales arranged in rows, and a little frost spread on it. Upon closer observation, the frost was actually emanating from its body surface, and along with it, there was also a surging demonic energy belonging to the third level.

On the huge head of the dragon, two small horns stood up slightly, not conspicuous, but Chen Qing could feel that there was an aura emanating from it that was different from that of python-like monsters. It was the aura of a dragon.

Judging from the appearance alone, Xiao Hei has now completely completed the blood transformation, from the initial cold stone python to the cold dragon, and his potential has increased greatly. If Chen Qing invests sufficient resources for his practice, he has the possibility of being promoted to the fourth-level demon king.

After Xu Lingxin finished touching Xiao Hei, Chen Qing asked.

"Xiao Hei, where did the old turtle go?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately looked at Chen Qing, with his huge dragon head standing upright, and heard him speak.

"Thirty years ago, the old turtle left the island for a trip and ran into a fourth-order Mountain-Traveling Turtle King. He was then subdued by the Mountain-Traveling Turtle King and used as his own. Now, he is living a miserable life in the Mountain-Traveling Turtle's cave."

Upon hearing this, both Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin were a little surprised.

It was quite surprising that this old turtle, while traveling, actually ran into a fourth-level mountain-carrying turtle, and was suppressed by the latter and used for his own purposes.

After all, when Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin were still practicing on the island, he and the old turtle often went out to travel. They practiced on the island for nearly a hundred years and never encountered a fourth-level demon king. After he and Xu Lingxin left, the old turtle encountered one. What luck...

Chen Qing shook his head secretly, then continued to ask.

"How did the old turtle provoke the mountain-carrying turtle deep in this vast wilderness?"

Xiao Hei heard this and continued speaking.

"I don't know the specific reasons, but I only know that the old turtle ran into the demon king in a body of water thousands of miles away. After being suppressed by the demon king, it left a message in the water. I practiced on the island for three months and didn't see it return, so I went out to look for it. Later, I got a clue in the water."

Chen Qing nodded, indicating that he understood, and then he listened to Xu Lingxin speak.

"My lord, that mountain-carrying turtle, although it is a fourth-level demon king, is not good at attacking but is more than capable of defense. Although I don't know its level of cultivation, if the two of us go together, I believe we can rescue the old turtle."

Xiao Hei was standing aside. After hearing Xu Lingxin's words, he immediately nodded and spoke.

"Master, it's been thirty years since the old turtle was captured by the Tuoshan Turtle. The situation is unclear now. Why don't we go to the Tuoshan Turtle's cave to investigate first, and then decide what to do next."

After hearing Xiao Hei's words, Xu Lingxin thought about it and felt that Xiao Hei's words made sense. She nodded and then looked at Chen Qing, letting the latter make the decision.

Chen Qing smiled when he heard this.

The mountain-carrying turtle is a monster beast with the longest lifespan. At the fourth level, it can live for nearly ten thousand years. However, it is extremely difficult for it to make progress in its cultivation. It requires thousands of years of hard practice to break through to the next level. Therefore, this mountain-carrying turtle that lives in seclusion in the depths of the Great Wilderness has a cultivation level of at most the late fourth level. Although it is slightly higher than Chen Qing, Chen Qing now has many Taoist patterns on his body and is blessed with good fortune. Even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can touch him, and the Demon King is no longer a threat.

"Let's go to that water area first, and then rescue the old turtle."

After he finished speaking, Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin flew to Xiao Hei's head. The latter immediately unfolded his curled up body, raised his head high, and flew up, crossing the island.

Although Xiao Hei was promoted to the third level and successfully transformed into a dragon, his cultivation was still too low for Chen Qing and Xu Lingxin. His flying speed was average, and it would take at least several days for him to go deep into the Great Wilderness Swamp.

Chen Qing was too lazy to wait so long, so he directly activated the Dao patterns and blessed Xiao Hei with the power of his Nascent Soul, triggering the incomplete Dao patterns hidden in his blood, causing his escape speed to soar, and only stopped when it reached the same speed as Chen Qing's own.

It only took the two men and the dragon about a hundred breaths to reach the area where the old turtle was suppressed and taken away by the mountain-carrying turtle.

This area of ​​water is relatively wide, with countless low-level monsters swimming in it. Xiao Hei's body, which is nearly a hundred feet long, stretches out, casting a large shadow. The third-level aura of the dragon species spreads out, causing many monsters in the water to flee in all directions, immediately leaving a large area of ​​water empty.

Xiao Hei looked at the water below and spoke.

"Master, Mistress, this is where I first discovered the jade slip left by the old turtle."

Hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Xu Lingxin. The latter understood and expanded her spiritual sense to sweep downwards, instantly seeing the situation clearly.

"There are some traces of Dao patterns in the water below, which are related to the Earth Dao, but there is no trace of mana. It is obviously the bloodline magic of a fourth-level monster beast. It must be the one cast by the mountain-carrying turtle..."

Xu Lingxin shared her discoveries one by one, while also pondering the realm of this mountain-carrying turtle.

Although she had never seen a fourth-level monster take action, she had seen many Nascent Soul-level cultivators.

After reaching the fourth level, the combat power of the monster beast depends entirely on its own bloodline. If the bloodline level is not high enough, the bloodline magic that the monster beast can cast will not even be as good as the ordinary spells of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, if the bloodline level is high enough, a fourth-order early stage monster can even fight against a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, monsters like the mountain-carrying turtle are not included in this list, and there are no such extremely terrifying monsters in the Great Wilderness.

Xu Lingxin thought about it carefully. Judging from the traces in the water here, the realm of this mountain-carrying turtle should be no more than the middle stage of the fourth level.

After listening to her story, Chen Qing also felt that the realm of this mountain-carrying turtle should be around the middle stage of the fourth level.

The two discussed it and felt that this trip should be fine. After all, if they worked together, even the top demon king in the late fourth stage would not be able to stop them. Besides, there was a high probability that there were no demon beasts of this level in the Great Wilderness Marsh.

"Come on, Xiao Hei, let's go meet this mountain-carrying turtle."

A python nearly a hundred feet long, pitch black in color, with two horns on its head stretched its body in the clouds. Its lantern-sized vertical pupils flickered with dim light, and its aura was fierce. Third-order demonic power emanated from its body, causing the low-level fish monsters swimming below to flee in all directions, causing ripples.

Chen Qing's magic power was bestowed upon him, making Xiao Hei's escape speed even more astonishing. In just a few breaths, he had traveled dozens of miles.

The two men and the dragon headed towards the depths of the Great Wilderness Swamp.
