Chapter 2423: Chapter 2423: Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle

However, Zhou Yu arrived with great anticipation at the place where Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate resided, only to find that Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate was not present.

He only met his Direct Disciple.

The Direct Disciple informed Zhou Yu that Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate had to leave Jiulong Mountain due to an urgent matter.

Afterward, this disciple handed a gourd to Zhou Yu.

"This is the Seven Seas Spirit Essence Wine left for you by Heavenly Venerate. This batch of Seven Seas Spirit Essence Wine was made using the Spirit Fruit provided by you, Senior Zhou. Heavenly Venerate said it is the finest batch he’s ever produced."

"Its quality surpasses the previous ones by more than two tiers."

"Moreover, it also has the added effect of increasing life expectancy."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu beamed with delight.

He took the gourd and swept it with his Divine Sense.

Instantly, he appeared satisfied.

The amount of Spiritual Wine in this gourd was far more than he had imagined.

Even setting other factors aside, if it were to be sold, considering Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate’s and the Seven Seas Spirit Essence Wine’s reputation, this Spiritual Wine would probably be a priceless treasure to those High Rank cultivators.

Especially due to the life expectancy extension effect.

Although the increase each time is minor, continuous consumption can gradually extend it, making it something that elder monsters nearing their lifespan’s end would desire at any cost.

Because Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate was not present, Zhou Yu did not linger and returned directly to his own dojo.

Over the next half month.

Zhou Yu met several fellow Daoists of the same tier and discussed cultivation insights and other experiences with each other.

During this period, Tie Gu visited Zhou Yu once again, not only explaining the matter regarding the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan’s transformed beautiful woman, but also inviting Zhou Yu to a trade meeting with eight participants.

Zhou Yu managed to acquire some urgently needed materials.

Overall, Zhou Yu had not yet found anything wrong with Tie Gu.

As the time for the Rare Treasure Conference approached, more Integration Realm cultivators began to gather.

The dojos surrounding Zhou Yu’s residence all now had owners.

These people were mostly Heavenly Venerates or Elder Level figures of the Demon Clan, each representing massive power.

Someone like Zhou Yu, being solitary, was quite unique.

Additionally, among the most notable Heavenly Venerates and Demon Ancestors, besides the surprise visit and departure of Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate, a Void Rat King from the Demon Clan had arrived.

This Void Rat King was considered the most mysterious Demon Ancestor among the Human and Demon Clans.

Usually, it was extremely difficult to encounter them.

Having arrived at Jiulong Mountain, no one saw this individual, who immediately secluded themselves, refusing visitors.

Moreover, few in the world have ever seen the Void Rat King take action.

All who offended him vanished without a trace.

Others couldn’t even confirm if it was indeed the Void Rat King’s doing.

Thus, the Void Rat King may not necessarily be the most powerful among the Heavenly Venerate Demon Ancestors.

But certainly, it was the most fearsome.

In truth, the one Zhou Yu wished to meet most was this Void Rat King.

Unfortunately, the other party refused meetings.

Zhou Yu was left with no options.

So, during this period, aside from closing himself off for cultivation, Zhou Yu also advised Qi Ling and Hai Long.

Zhou Yu had plans for these two.

Thus, he generously imparted his teachings.

On this day, while Zhou Yu was explaining doubts in cultivation to them,

suddenly, Zhou Yu stopped, and then his brows furrowed.

Qi Ling, who was listening intently, was suddenly brought back to his senses.

He looked at Zhou Yu.

"Senior Zhou, what happened?"

Zhou Yu did not speak, but suddenly stood up.

At this moment, the entire dojo began to shake violently.

Qi Ling and Hai Long were startled.

This was Jiulong Mountain, the dojo of an Integration Realm ancestor.

They had witnessed firsthand the Formation barriers and the Cloud Sea Array nearby.

What could cause such tremors in the dojo?

By this time, Zhou Yu was already heading outside.

Qi Ling and Hai Long immediately followed closely.

In the next moment, the three of them left the dojo and appeared in the sky above the mountain peak.

At the same time, a large number of cultivators appeared in the sky above other peaks.

Everyone was gazing in one direction.

Zhou Yu was no exception.

He gazed into the distance, a ripple flashing in his eyes.

And Qi Ling and Hai Long beside him were so astonished that they could not close their mouths.

"Wow, wow, wow—"

"What... is that?"

In the distance, at the horizon where sea and sky met, there appeared a gigantic entity.

It was a turtle-like demon beast.

This turtle-like demon beast was well over ten thousand feet in size.

From a distance, it looked like a moving mountain range.

With each step, the earth quaked and shook.

Don’t be fooled by its slow movements.

Its speed was actually quite fast.

One moment it was at the horizon, the next step it had crossed hundreds of miles.

"This should be Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle, the mount of Xuanling Heavenly Venerate!"

"I’ve heard of it many times, but this is the first time I’ve seen it."

"It’s astounding."

Qi Ling and Hai Long were both in awe.

As were most other cultivators around them.

After all, throughout the entire Heavenly Origin World, not many have actually seen the Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle.

At that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly furrowed his brows.

His gaze shifted to another location.

"Who is over there?"

"Why not come out and meet!"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, the void seemed to twist slightly.

Immediately afterward, a figure draped in red appeared before Zhou Yu.

Is was a voluptuous woman dressed in luxurious attire.

"Daoist Zhou’s Divine Sense is indeed sharp. My little tricks are a bit embarrassing before you."

Zhou Yu looked at her and asked skeptically:

"And you are?"

The woman smiled:

"I am Liu Ruo, though this is merely one of my Talisman Avatars."

Liu Ruo?

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then slowly said:

"I’ve heard Miao Hong Heavenly Venerate has two adept disciples."

"One of them is skilled in the Talisman Puppetry Skill."

"It seems that person is you."

Liu Ruo smiled and said:

"I didn’t expect Daoist Zhou to know of me; it is truly an honor."

After speaking, Liu Ruo looked into the distance.

"The Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle, the mount of Xuanling Heavenly Venerate, only appears once a millennium."

"Ordinarily, it slumbers underwater, making it difficult to witness its full form."

"I was fortunate to have seen it once two thousand years ago when accompanying Heavenly Venerate to the Mystic Spirit Domain."

While these two spoke.

The gigantic Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle finally halted its steps.

Next, layers of black Void Fluctuation emerged around it, resembling a tidal wave.

Under the cover of this Void Fluctuation, the body of the Mystic Spirit Ancestor Turtle was soon obscured.

Its exterior transformed into a black mountain peak.

Just then, a golden Spirit Light appeared abruptly in the void not far from the black mountain peak.

This person was none other than Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate!

Facing the black mountain peak, Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate called out:

"Xuanling, it has been many years, why have you arrived only to remain silent here?"

"Why not come out and gather?"
