sked curiously."I should be able to pull ahead slightly, but in a life-or-death battle, I would definitely lose.""Why""Young Master Lian's magic strength isn't bad either."Upon hearing this from Gray,...Although the tremor beneath was very slight, Ripple sensed it immediately, and so did the cyclone.

Dodo was rubbing against the master's surging spiritual energy as he ascended, unaware of it. However, when the master temporarily stopped absorbing the spiritual energy, Dodo also broke free from the comfortable feeling of being enveloped by it. She tilted her flowerpot with some confusion.

The ripples had already ascended to the Golden Core realm, so this time she leaped into the air and stood suspended. Looking at that black stone, her divine sense also enveloped it at the same time. The whirlwind didn't leave immediately, but instead extended its sharp claws and probed it on the stone.

The result of a two-pronged approach was that the stone dared not disguise itself any longer. It swayed twice before slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.

"Turtle"

The ripples of divine consciousness pierced through the black rock, revealing the disguise of the dark stone.

She was a little surprised that the turtle's camouflage was so successful, even fooling her. Looking back, she felt a bit scared.

When the whirlwind sank under the black stone, it was already lifted by ripples and safely placed on the shore. The whirlwind snorted in displeasure; if he had broken through to the third rank, he could also hover in the air for a short time. Now that he couldn't help his master, he was very annoyed.

Ripple watched as the turtle, wearing a disguise, was about to burrow into the mud at the bottom of the lake. But with a flick of her wrist, she shot out a deadly thread, wrapping it around the turtle and pulling it from the depths.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Fairy, what are you doing with the old turtle"

The turtle hauled up from the depths didn't dare to extend its head, but its voice did carry out. Unexpectedly, the other party could speak human language, which piqued Ripple's curiosity even further.

Ripple looked at the black stone carapace on the turtle in front of her, turning her spiritual energy, and a blue spiritual energy flashed across the deadly silk. With a "crack" sound, the black rocks on the turtle's shell fell off, revealing its true form.

It was a round table-sized turtle shell, and no one knew how long this turtle had been alive. The shell had turned purple-black, and each piece of the shell was engraved with intricate runes. Lian Ri felt a sense of familiarity.

By now, the ripples had reached the shore, pulling the turtle onto land as well. As a result of her disruption, the turtle immediately retracted its limbs and croaked out:

"Fairy, please spare this old turtle's life! I haven't done anything wrong. I am just cultivating myself in this lake. It was you who sat on my back."

The whirlwind walked past with the grace of a cat, then extended its claw and drew it across the turtle's shell. To its surprise, the shell was quite hard, not even a scratch was left behind.

Now the cyclone was unwilling to give in. The claws hidden within its fleshy pads fully extended, preparing to attack.

The ripples, however, stopped the whirlwind's advances and laughed to the turtle:

"Have you been here all along"

"Yes! I was born here."

The turtle remained submerged, only answering Ripples' questions.

What is your name

"I am Zi Yun Gui, the only one left in heaven and on earth."

The turtle said with a touch of melancholy.

After hearing the turtle's self-introduction, Lianyi thought of Yun Ruibin and Du Leilei, who had disappeared after leaving the Yuntan Secret Realm in their previous life.

Perhaps in their past lives, the two of them were lucky enough to have a connection with this turtle, otherwise, where would they have found such an ancient formation diagram They worked together inside and out to scheme against the Five Elements Sect. That was a whole sect, not just a small courtyard!

"To have someone, doesn't that mean you get a boost in good fortune"

Ripple spoke immediately.

""

This time, Zi Yun Gui did not answer Lian Yi, but Lian Yi had already received the answer she wanted.

"I have no ill intentions towards you, let's talk."

The ripples summoned the covetous whirlwind, who flung out a formation array, enveloping Purple Luck Turtle within it. She herself released a cushion and sat directly across from Purple Luck Turtle, taking on an air of being prepared for a long conversation.

The whirlwind flicked its tail and transformed into a black cat, curling back up in Lian's arms. But its two erect pupils were fixed on the turtle opposite, who hadn't even dared to show its head.

What do you want to talk about

Purple Tortoise was a bit regretful now that he had revealed himself. He hadn't been taught how to handle such situations, though. All he knew was that his current location was a unique space, and this was the first time in thousands of years that he had encountered humans who carried on their lineage. The excitement got the better of him, leading to his exposure.

Tell me about your origins and abilities, and I can also tell you some things you want to know.

Like ripples spreading from a gentle current, she spoke.

"I'm just a turtle. I've been here since I was born, growing up until now. Besides being long-lived, I don't know what else I'm good at. Is defense considered a skill"

Ziyun Gui pondered for a moment, then still said some true and false words.

"You're not being honest!"

Ripples blinked, then began to share her guess:

"Hearing your name is Zi Yun Gui, I presume your talent lies in fortune and luck. Purple represents the extreme, proving that you're no ordinary turtle. Otherwise, there wouldn't be only you left in this world."

Because of your clan's innate abilities, you should have been hunted en masse, and you are the only bloodline saved by your kin.

You probably escaped because you were just an egg back then, not hatched yet. Maybe this secret realm was specially found for you by your ancestors, since it's the first time it's been open.

"How do you know"

The turtle this time directly extended its head out, a pair of black bean eyes staring in astonishment at the ripples.

Liàn Yī also didn't expect that she had guessed it randomly, so she continued to say calmly:

Have your elders in your tribe ever instructed you to, when the secret realm opens, find a destined person and form a bond with them, allowing them to lead you out of here

"Yes, they said that after a thousand years, there would be an immortal who would take me away from here. If I could leave successfully, I would have the chance to leave the cultivation world and reunite with the ascended people."

If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll never get to see them again.

Purple Turtle accidentally blurted out the truth.

"Master, this turtle is quite foolish and blurts everything out. If not for you, I'm afraid it would have been taken apart and sold."

Xuanfeng whispered to Lianyi, complaining about something.

Ripple carefully recalled that Du LeLe didn't seem to have made a pact with a turtle, but it was also possible she had hidden the Purple Luck Turtle.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked:

"If a human were to capture you and want to obtain your talent skills without forming a contract, what would they do"

"Refine my inner elixir"

Before Zi Yun Gui could finish speaking, he realized he had spoken out of turn again. He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head and dared not speak another word.

The ripples confirmed it, Du was through with that ruthless one. He must have refined the Purple Fortune Tortoise's inner pill and combined it with his cultivation of the Stealing Luck Evil Art. There's no doubt he will be unstoppable from now on.

If you form a pact with the Purple Luck Tortoise, it will eventually become obvious to others. It's safer to refine the Purple Luck Tortoise's inner pill instead. Its shell is also a valuable item.

"Hey! Are you stupid How could you give yourself away in just two sentences"

The whirlwind mercilessly mocks its opponent.on be reassigned.It is my duty to ease the mistress's worries.Then Zhen-ma immediately said.On the other side, Mei Zhi didn't speak, but she understood Lian Yi's meaning. The young mistress was prepar...
