Chapter 274 The Divine Tortoise Offers Treasure
The tortoise spirit transformed into its original form, then shrunk to a size acceptable to humans. It swam around Fuxi twice before Fuxi carefully focused on the water's surface, wondering if something had just swum past.
"Fuxi, what are you looking at?" Qingxi was very curious and peeked at the water every now and then, but unfortunately his eyesight was far inferior to Fuxi's.
“There’s something in the water…” Fuxi’s sharp eyes were fixed on the water’s surface, and he finally saw the beautiful little turtle that was almost one with the water.
Qingxi swallowed hard, picked up the sharpened harpoon on her back, and knew it must be fish. She could use the fish that Fuxi had attracted to spear one or two to take home.
Fuxi's luck was unparalleled; it was not uncommon for fish to jump into his hands on their own. No wonder he was born as the future leader by divine mandate; the people of the Huaxu tribe had long believed this.
The sturdy bamboo hides its merits and fame.
Gui Ling breathed a sigh of relief; finally, Fu Xi had noticed her, and her silly spinning around would finally stop.
The tortoise spirit raised its shell to the surface and slowly moved in front of Fuxi. The profound patterns on the tortoise shell caught Fuxi's attention; these patterns seemed familiar.
"Fuxi, the giant tortoise, it's the giant tortoise! Run!" Tortoises can go ashore, but with that huge mouth, won't it swallow them whole?
The tribal warriors protecting Fuxi were on high alert, their sharp bamboo spears aimed at the turtle spirit still on the water. "Fuxi, you go first." Fuxi was their tribe's auspicious talisman; nothing could happen to him.
“It’s alright,” Fuxi said calmly. “You may all step back. This tortoise doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions.”
"This..." The warriors exchanged glances, hesitated, and took a few steps back. Even though Fuxi was still young, his words made them dare not disobey.
“That’s right, I meant no harm.” The Turtle Spirit surfaced directly, its entire body crystal clear and shimmering with divine light, telling everyone: I am extraordinary, I am auspicious.
"The divine turtle... the divine turtle spoke..." Qingxi murmured to herself, expressing the thoughts of everyone.
The turtle spirit twitched its lips. From a giant turtle to a divine turtle, the only difference was the ability to speak human language. Its spiritual light flickered.
"You need something from me?" Fuxi could sense that the tortoise was coming towards him.
Gui Ling nodded. "I heard that you have become a disciple, so I have come here today to offer you this treasure to help you unravel its mysteries."
"The divine tortoise offers treasure..." The crowd couldn't believe it. Looking at the tiny Fuxi, their eyes automatically lit up with a divine light, and they felt that every move Fuxi made exuded divinity.
The tortoise spirit dived to the bottom of the water and soon floated back to the surface carrying the Hetu and Luoshu. "This is the Hetu and Luoshu, the life-bound magic treasure of the first Heavenly Emperor of the Three Realms. I now lend it to you to comprehend the Eight Trigrams and the Eight Trigrams, hoping that you will soon attain enlightenment and return to your rightful place."
Fuxi stared at the so-called magic treasure on the back of the divine tortoise and suddenly felt a sense of disorientation. Who was it that had been holding this treasure for so many years, and who had often discussed scriptures and doctrines with him to explore the mysteries of formations?
Fuxi wanted to see clearly, but his vision was shrouded in mist, and he could never see clearly.
"Fuxi... Fuxi..." Qingxi called softly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get it!"
Fuxi felt a pang of anxiety, his fingers trembled slightly, and he picked up the Hetu Luoshu from the divine tortoise's mouth. The Hetu Luoshu flashed with an almost invisible stream of light.
Indeed, he seemed to have seen this magical artifact before, but compared to the dazzling brilliance in his memory, it had lost all its divine radiance.
"Now that the Hetu and Luoshu have been presented, I can retire gracefully." The tortoise spirit breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared in front of everyone.
Qingxi leaned closer and asked, "Fuxi, what's the use of this?"
Fuxi protected the Hetu and Luoshu almost imperceptibly, warning Qingxi not to accidentally poke the treasure with her fork. "I don't know yet, I'll ask my senior brother first."
“What a pity, I thought there would be fish,” Qingxi looked back at the water. “Fuxi, let the fish swim over on their own. I haven’t caught any fish in a long time. Let’s catch some fish to take back to the tribe. It’s not good to go back empty-handed since we’ve come out here so often.”
Fuxi looked at Qingxi in disbelief. This silly boy, did he really think he could gather fish anytime, anywhere? He was a human, not a god.
"I'll go back and think of a way..." Fuxi pondered as he walked. The fish were indeed slippery and difficult to catch, the wild beasts in the mountains were ferocious, winter was approaching, and the tribe's harvest this year had been poor, making it difficult to survive the winter...
High in the clouds, the tortoise spirit transformed into its Dao body, "Little Ten, I did a good job, didn't I?" But why is Little Ten so powerful? From Kunlun Mountain to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, it felt like an instant. Even Master's speed couldn't be more impressive, could it?
"Not bad, thank you for your hard work." Chang Hao looked down at Fuxi from the clouds. Now it was Chang Hao who was anxious for Fuxi to return as soon as possible.
If he hadn't still had his senses, Chang Hao would have wanted to go down and help Fuxi gain an unfair advantage. He told Fuxi to do it, and guided him step by step to achieve the position of Emperor of Man. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible; Fuxi had to do it himself.
"Go back now. I'll keep an eye on things here." Nuwa dared not let Chang Hao wander around outside in his immature form; if anything happened, her master would definitely hold her accountable.
"Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty." Chang Hao glanced back at Fuxi one last time, then resolutely left. Fuxi had to do it herself, but he could speed things up.
"Little Ten, what kind of supernatural power is this? Can you teach me? I feel it's even more powerful than Earth Escape and Water Escape." Turtle Spirit opened and closed his eyes, and sure enough, he returned to the pavilion in Kunlun Mountain.
Chang Hao: "It can be considered a light escape. Wherever the light reaches, you can arrive in an instant. It is a natural supernatural ability that you cannot learn. Of course, when your realm improves in the future, your speed can also be like that. There is no need to envy. Your defensive power is also something that many cultivators can only envy."
The tortoise spirit understood; her tortoise shell was no less impressive.
"Your Highness, please accept this." Huang Long immediately presented the peeled hibiscus fruit with both hands, indicating that he had not been lazy at all.
Gui Ling glanced disdainfully at the very appealing hibiscus fruits, while Chang Hao smiled and handed her a basket of peaches as a token of appreciation for Gui Ling's hard work.
Gui Ling was very excited. Knowing that morning lessons were about to end, he quickly picked up his basket and headed to Biyou Palace, wanting to share it with his fellow disciples.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chang Hao used the Jade Fan to lift Huang Long's chin and looked him straight in the eyes, "Whose side are you on?"
"Xiaolong is loyal to the Crown Prince..." Huanglong immediately pledged his loyalty.
"Hmm? Where is your master?" Chang Hao was somewhat dissatisfied with this answer.
"Even Xiaolong wouldn't dare to betray his master and ancestors..." Huanglong almost slapped himself. Why couldn't he see things clearly? These two were not on good terms. Saying he wanted to betray his master in front of His Majesty was obviously a thankless task.
"Very well, remember your words. Since this concerns your master, I can't punish you. But if you fail to report something again, pack your bags and head to the West." Chang Hao said threateningly, putting away his fan.
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief. He should have passed this hurdle by now, right?
"but……"
Huanglong was extremely anxious. "Your Majesty, please give me a quick death."
Chang Hao unfolded his fan, half-concealing his face, and a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. "Do you still have the secret manual that you presented to your master? Give me a copy as well."
