Do you know what mythical life is?

"Still not awake?"

Lu Pingan shifted his focus to the giant tortoise.

The giant tortoise lay quietly at the bottom of the Yunxi River, showing no signs of waking up.

Several days had passed since it swallowed the Bloodstone of Ten Thousand Beasts.

For the past few days, it has maintained this posture without moving.

The only thing is that the size keeps getting bigger.

Now, its size is comparable to that of the giant bear it swallowed.

I just don't know how strong they are.

At the same time, Lu Pingan received more support than he had expected in the past few days.

He now possesses over one hundred and fifty rays of life and spiritual light.

At the same time, the giant tortoise also gave him three beams of enlightenment.

Get rich quick.

He hasn't used those moments of sudden enlightenment yet.

Although he could achieve enlightenment using the Light of Enlightenment, he felt it was better to accumulate as many questions as possible before that.

He needs more time to reflect before he can fully utilize the power of the light of enlightenment.

Otherwise it would be too wasteful.

"Wait a little longer. Once the giant tortoise wakes up, call Master over and ask him to assess its strength."

Lu Pingan was filled with anticipation.

By changing his perspective, he could vaguely sense the terrifying power hidden within the giant tortoise's body.

But mythical beasts are different from humans.

There aren't that many levels of distinction.

The only way to judge strength is by comparing it with human martial artists.

Suddenly, just as Lu Ping'an was pondering the giant tortoise's strength, the Nine Imperial Dao Book silently opened in his soul sea.

"Hmm? Can the giant tortoise trigger its talent while it's dormant and undergoing metamorphosis?"

Lu Ping'an looked surprised and glanced at the Nine Imperial Dao Book.

[The Divine Tortoise Has a Divination]

[First Divination (Very Inauspicious): One day from now, a martial artist who has just entered the True Qi Realm may arrive in Yunxi County with his disciple Jiang Xun and seek an opportunity to assassinate you.]

[Hexagram Two (Moderately Auspicious): Three days later, after a heavy rain, deep within the Longyun Mountains, a Cloud Mist Fruit may be about to ripen. Obtaining it, combined with the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist, can quickly complete the transformation of the five internal organs.]

[Divination 3 (Minor Auspicious): Around noon, a martial artist may be selling knives on a street in Yunxi County. Breaking the knife will grant you a mid-grade martial arts skill.]

[Choose one of the three hexagrams to understand its details]

"A very bad omen?"

Lu Ping'an was stunned as he looked at the information displayed in the Nine Imperial Dao Book.

He had always thought that the giant tortoise's divine tortoise possessed divination abilities and could only predict auspicious things.

Unexpectedly, it could even predict bad omens.

Although the Nine Imperial Scriptures marked things related to the future with "possible," he still couldn't afford to be complacent.

"Damn it!"

"A True Qi Realm expert, has he lost his mind and is trying to assassinate me?"

Seeing the ominous warning in the first divination, Lu Ping'an's face turned grim.

If this option weren't available, he would definitely choose hexagram two.

If I could obtain a Cloud Mist Fruit and quickly break through to the Inner Strength Realm, how wonderful would that be?

The tempering of the internal organs is too difficult.

Even if he masters the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Fist and has the Light of Life to restore himself, it would probably take him another half a month, or even a month, to complete it.

If it were anyone else, even an outstanding martial arts genius, it would probably take them more than half a year.

It wouldn't be surprising if an ordinary genius took one or two years, or even two or three years, to complete their breakthrough.

"Jiang Xun?"

Suddenly, Lu Ping'an focused his attention on the two characters "Jiang Xun" in the first hexagram.

He was very familiar with the name.

"Is that Jiang Xun from the Jiang family of Tianhai County?"

"Could that martial artist who has just entered the True Qi Realm be his legendary True Martial Realm master, who has broken through to the True Qi Realm?"

Lu Pingan suddenly had a thought.

If he knew who the other party was, he wouldn't be without room to maneuver.

After all, his biggest backer was not far away.

If all else fails, he can simply hide at the Four Symbols Martial Arts School.

"I choose... hexagram two!"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Pingan finally made his decision.

With a slight thought, he gently touched the second hexagram in the Nine Imperial Daoist Book.

"Buzz!"

With a soft hum, a clear roadmap immediately appeared deep in his mind.

Following the map forward, he finally saw a small tree shrouded in mist in a valley deep in the Longyun Mountains.

On a small branch, a snow-white, glistening fruit hangs quietly.

"That is..."

Suddenly, Lu Ping'an's pupils contracted as he spotted a giant black python, over ten meters long, not far from the small tree.

"Are there any mythical beasts protecting them?"

"But why didn't the Nine Imperial Dao Scriptures warn me that retrieving the Cloud Mist Fruit would be dangerous?"

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Lu Pingan frowned.

He remembered that the divine tortoise had given him a divination, and the Nine Imperial Dao Book even reminded him how the giant tortoise could catch the Azure Blood Carp.

Only after the giant tortoise became strong enough did it stop giving reminders.

"Does that giant black python pose no threat to me?"

Lu Pingan's heart suddenly stirred.

If he were to go there in person, he certainly wouldn't be a match for that giant python.

But if the giant tortoise wakes up, things might be different.

"Jiang Xun..."

Lu Ping'an stopped thinking about the Cloud Mist Fruit.

The cloud-mist fruit will ripen in three days, which is plenty of time.

His immediate priority is to deal with Jiang Xun and his master, who is at the True Qi Realm, and their attempts to assassinate him.

"Um?"

Just then, Lu Ping'an felt a sudden urge and sensed the unusual movement coming from the giant tortoise.

"The giant tortoise is awake?"

Lu Ping'an's expression brightened with joy.

He changed his perspective again and found that the giant tortoise was shaking its head and sticking out of its shell.

The giant tortoise has completely transformed, and its shell diameter has reached six meters.

This enormous creature looked even more terrifying than the giant bear it had recently devoured.

This is still the normal state of the giant tortoise.

If the giant tortoise were to transform and unleash its Heavenly Pillar form, its diameter could surge to nine meters, and that doesn't even include its head and tail.

Because of its enormous size, the giant tortoise's tail is over a meter long.

After transforming, its tail can definitely reach two meters.

With a flick of its tail, even rocks and mountains would crumble.

"This body type..."

Lu Pingan's eyes flickered.

He wondered if the giant tortoise could defeat a martial artist at the True Qi Realm if it transformed.

While True Qi Realm martial artists are powerful, there are limits to their strength.

Especially for martial artists who have just entered the True Qi Realm.

"Let's go see our master!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Pingan decided to go see his master.

Anyway, his master already knew about the giant tortoise.

If the master is surprised by the giant tortoise's dramatic transformation, he can easily attribute it to its powerful talent and the Myriad Beast Blood Stone.

After all, that stone was a gift from his master to the giant tortoise.

"Walk!"

The thought crossed his mind, and he immediately left the courtyard and headed towards the Four Symbols Martial Arts School.

"Lu Ping'an?"

Suddenly, not long after he left the courtyard, he bumped into Liu Shuyuan, the young master of the Poyue Martial Arts School.

Upon seeing Lu Ping'an, Liu Shuyuan's expression changed, and he immediately stepped aside to make way for him.

Compared to before, he no longer dared to show any provocative expression when facing Lu Ping'an.

Lu Pingan ignored Liu Shuyuan.

He walked straight past Liu Shuyuan without stopping and arrived at the Sixiang Martial Arts School.
