Chapter 554: Soul Search

Upon hearing Bai Suzhen’s words, Su Jingzhen was once again taken aback.An important part of his current goal was to obtain the Immovable Tortoise Seal.

If he were to kill the Earth Tortoise Envoy, he would only achieve the initial goal of causing trouble to test the Heavenly Dragon race.

There would be no additional benefits.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s stunned expression, the Earth Tortoise Envoy spoke again:

“Do you think the ‘Immovable Tortoise Seal’ is something trivial? It is the secret art of our Tortoise Sect.

Even as one of the Eight Divine Envoys, I do not have the authority to teach it to others.

If you want to obtain the Immovable Tortoise Seal, even if you destroy our Tortoise Sect, it will be impossible.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

It seemed like he had already put his life beyond consideration.

Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed once again.

His interest in the Immovable Tortoise Seal grew even stronger.

“Hehe, the more you say that, the more I am determined to obtain this so-called secret art of your Black Tortoise Sect.”

“And now, since you have no authority, just shut up.”

With these words, Su Jingzhen’s black brick hit the Earth Tortoise Envoy’s chest again without hesitation.

The still-beating heart immediately shattered.

The power of the black brick pierced through the Earth Tortoise Envoy’s limbs and bones, extinguishing all of his life force.

The Earth Tortoise Envoy’s eyes remained wide open in disbelief.

He could tell that Su Jingzhen was really interested in the Immovable Tortoise Seal.

Although he hadn’t lied about not being able to teach it to Su Jingzhen,

He had hoped to negotiate some terms to at least buy some time to survive.

After all, having reached the Unity Realm, he had a lifespan of over ten thousand years, enough to experience the vicissitudes of the world, and he was not willing to die like this. Р

Even in death, he hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to be so decisive.

At the moment of the Earth Tortoise Envoy’s death, a brilliant white light suddenly erupted from the belt around Su Jingzhen’s waist.

The light enveloped the Earth Tortoise Envoy.

In an instant, a mysterious power surged into the Niwan Palace of the Earth Tortoise Envoy.

“Suzhen, what are you doing?”

Su Jingzhen was still puzzled by Bai Suzhen’s actions.

“Soul searching!”

Bai Suzhen replied with only two words.

Upon hearing these words, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

In his previous life, he had read countless novels and knew many myths and legends, so the term “soul searching” was no stranger to him.

He had never expected such a divine skill to be performed right before his eyes.

His eyes filled with excitement, and his divine consciousness surged out of his Niwan Palace.

He did not dare to enter the Niwan Palace of the Earth Turtle Envoy, so as not to disturb Bai Suzhen’s operation.

Instead, he investigated other details around him.

After a short while, the layer of white energy that Bai Suzhen had condensed on the Earth Tortoise Envoy suddenly dissipated.

Su Jingzhen sensed that Bai Suzhen’s divine consciousness had retreated from the Niwan Palace of the Earth Tortoise Envoy.

Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen sent in his own divine consciousness.

At that moment, the Earth Tortoise Envoy’s Niwan Palace was in chaos.

It was like a small world, but now, with the death of the Earth Tortoise Envoy, this small world was collapsing and in disarray.

Su Jingzhen knew that it was impossible to find anything here.

He could only look hopefully at Bai Suzhen.

“Suzhen, have you found anything?” Su Jingzhen asked expectantly.

“I did find something, but the Black Tortoise Sect is indeed a sect that has been firmly established in the Luo River region.

Their protection of the Immovable Tortoise Seal is quite thorough.

I can’t tell you directly how to cultivate the Immovable Tortoise Seal.

It looks like you’ll have to figure it out on your own.”

Upon hearing Bai Suzhen’s words, Su Jingzhen was somewhat confused.



Before he could ask, he suddenly felt a rather powerful divine consciousness surge from his waist.

“Open your sea of consciousness, I’ll give you what I found.”

Bai Suzhen said directly.

Su Jingzhen did not hesitate as his divine consciousness surged and opened his Sea of Consciousness. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He had no reservations towards Bai Suzhen, knowing that she had no ill intentions towards him.

In the next instant, Su Jingzhen felt a powerful divine consciousness surge into his Niwan Palace.

It suddenly manifested an object in front of his Spirit Palace.

An ancient looking tortoise shell!

It seemed to be engraved with countless primordial runes containing the rhythms of the Great Dao.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen was once again taken aback: “Suzhen, did you just find this from that guy’s Sea of Consciousness? What is this thing?”

“Since it’s a soul search, everything in his memories naturally couldn’t escape my scrutiny.

However, everything else is useless to you and me; only this thing is related to the Immovable Tortoise Seal you want.

Their Immovable Tortoise Seal should be derived from it.

Or rather, the memory of the Immovable Tortoise Seal’s cultivation method had already evolved into the shape of this tortoise shell once it reached their minds.”

As she spoke, Su Jingzhen could clearly sense a hint of excitement in Bai Suzhen’s tone.

Even with her strength, she could only discover so much, which once again proved the high level and power of the Immovable Tortoise Seal.

Before Su Jingzhen could ask any more questions, Bai Suzhen continued: “And in my opinion, the Immovable Tortoise Seal practiced by the Earth Tortoise Envoy was only an incomplete version.

Even the entire Tortoise Sect doesn’t have the perfect method to cultivate the Immovable Tortoise Seal!”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped another beat.

“If that’s the case, isn’t this thing considered a high-level technique in the entire cultivation world?” he asked again unconsciously.

Bai Suzhen continued to answer: “Based on the power of the few Immovable Tortoise Seals you’ve encountered, it doesn’t quite reach the level of a high-level technique in the cultivation world.

But if it can be supplemented and further perfected, it should be enough to reach that category.

If it can be perfected, the Tortoise Sect should be able to rise to the top ranks of the Luo River region just by relying on it.”

After a pause, Bai Suzhen added, “Oh, and I also found an important piece of information from the memories of the Earth Tortoise Envoy.

The Tortoise Sect seems to have established an unusually large number of branch sects in various regions.

And every time they establish a branch, they raise a black tortoise in it.

When a branch sect is first established, the Black Tortoise they raise is just an ordinary first-level Black Tortoise.

The purity of the black tortoise bloodline of the turtle sect is difficult to detect in the early stages of beast cultivation, and it is only gradually revealed during the growth process.

The higher the purity of the bloodline, the faster the cultivation and growth.

A Black Tortoise that grows to the sixth level will be reclaimed by the main sect.

And a new black tortoise of the first level will be raised in its place.”

However, as time passed, many members of the branch sects gradually forgot their mission to raise these black tortoises.

Most of the branch sects had already begun to treat the black tortoises they raised as sacred beasts that guarded their sects. Even if they reached the sixth level or higher, they would not report them to the main sect.

In some remote areas, the branch sects had long lost contact with the main sect, so the Earth Tortoise Envoy was pleased to hear that the Black Tortoise here had reached the sixth level.

“Of course, the main reason for this situation is that the Tortoise Sect doesn’t pay much attention to these far-flung branch sects, and the Black Tortoises sent to them were the least favored ones.

Therefore, for the Black Tortoise here to reach the sixth level is considered an extremely rare occurrence by the Tortoise Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen immediately stood up.

After taking the Tortoise Envoy’s storage ring, he rushed back to the Stone Hall.

There, the corpse of the Black Tortoise was still lying quietly.

Su Jingzhen stepped forward and stood on the Black Tortoise’s back.

He noticed that there were several mysterious primordial runes on the Black Tortoise’s spine as well.

After Bai Suzhen said so much, Su Jingzhen, who was no fool, had already figured it out.

“Suzhen, are you saying that the ultimate purpose of the Tortoise Sect raising these black tortoises is to complete the Immovable Tortoise Signet?”

Bai Suzhen’s voice came out again: “I’m just speculating, but it’s probably eight or nine out of ten.



The spiritual patterns on this Black Tortoise’s back seem to have been formed not too long ago. Maybe the first requirement for these black tortoise shells to grow primordial spiritual patterns is to reach the sixth level.

I suspect that the Tortoise Sect has a progenitor tortoise.

In this cultivation world, many divine beasts with high enough bloodlines have innate divine abilities.

And the progenitor tortoise of the Tortoise Sect should have primordial spiritual patterns that were damaged for some reason, making it impossible for him to comprehend the full version of the Immovable Tortoise Seal.”

At this point, Bai Suzhen added, ” Moreover, the progenitor tortoise I was speculating about might have a shell that looks like the one I just manifested in your Sea of Consciousness.”
