Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 127: Spirit Beast, Spirit Vein!

Spirit beast?

What the hell is that?

Liu Zimo was completely dumbfounded.

In his previous life, he had never heard of the existence of any spirit beasts in this world.

In his eyes, or rather, in the eyes of all humans, all living animals on Earth were basically demonic beasts, enemies of the Human Federation.

The term "spirit beast" had never been mentioned by anyone.

Of course, there were people who had tried to tame demonic beasts in order to use them to control other beasts, but all of them ended in failure.

Every demonic beast that was captured, even the young ones, would die on the second day of losing their freedom, without exception.

Therefore, in the thirty years of the apocalypse, the humans had never succeeded in taming any beasts, and in the end, they gave up on the idea altogether.

Swish!

The giant turtle's head swiftly approached!

But when it was about three feet away from Liu Zimo, it suddenly stopped as if it had been hit by a petrification spell.

Its entire body was frozen in place.

In its basketball-sized turtle eyes, a hint of surprise and horror flashed.

"What's going on?"

"I've been imprisoned by a human cultivator?!"

"But how is that possible?"

"The revival of spiritual energy has only been about four months, there shouldn't be such powerful cultivators among the humans on Earth?!"

"Damn it, could I be so unlucky? Did I encounter the chosen one of this era as soon as I showed up?!"

"No! I've barely survived from ancient times until now, enduring until the revival of spiritual energy, and I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it yet. I don't want to become someone else's spirit beast again!"

After successfully binding with Liu Zimo, the turtle's self-talk was transmitted to Liu Zimo's ears without any hindrance.

Upon hearing the words "ancient times," "revival of spiritual energy," and "spirit beast," Liu Zimo's eyebrows raised, instantly understanding the origin and identity of this giant turtle.

It turned out to be an ancient creature that had survived for countless centuries!

No wonder it didn't possess the demonic aura unique to extraterrestrial demonic beasts.

No wonder it had just acted extremely ferocious, as if it wanted to swallow him whole, but there was no trace of killing intent.

Liu Zimo speculated that his "Heaven-stealing" ability's reaction to this giant turtle should be related to its identity as a spirit beast.

A spirit beast that had gained intelligence and had been tamed and nurtured by humans.

To some extent, it could be considered a natural ally of the humans, one of their own.

"You should be grateful that there was no killing intent just now, otherwise you would already be a corpse by now!"

Liu Zimo looked down at the giant turtle, whose head alone was bigger than a building, and spoke sternly.

"Now, I'll give you two choices!"

"Either submit to me and become my spirit beast, grow together with me, and embark on the path of greatness!"

"Or, have your shell peeled off and your blood drained, and be stewed into a delicious turtle soup in my belly!"

Upon hearing this, the turtle's face, as large as a pot, turned black.

"I knew it would be like this!"

"These despicable human cultivators always use these words to scare turtles!"

"That bastard Taoist used these words back then, forcing me to become the guardian spirit beast of his sect for three thousand years, waking up earlier than chickens, sleeping later than dogs, and working harder than donkeys!"

"Now, this bastard actually wants to scare me with the same method, without any basis!"

"Do they really think I'm the same naive turtle from ten thousand years ago?"

"This time, I will never surrender!"

The mood of the turtle seemed very excited, and its inner monologue was quite dramatic.

Just when Liu Zimo thought it was about to unleash some powerful move and fight him to the death,

he saw the giant turtle droop its head, half-close its eyes, and put on a submissive and obedient appearance, speaking in a soft voice,

"I choose the first option!"

"To encounter a young and powerful master like you is the fortune I have accumulated over several lifetimes. I am willing to follow you, serving you faithfully, even if it means going through fire and water!"

"Please, master, accept me!"

As it spoke, the giant turtle even voluntarily offered a strand of its divine soul essence as a sign of submission.

The whole process went smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Is this it?

Is this your "never surrender"?!

Liu Zimo looked at the inconsistent giant turtle speechlessly.

It's amazing how tough it thinks it is in its mind, but how obsequious it appears on the surface.

Looking at the giant turtle's submissive appearance, flattering and obedient, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of person its previous owner was.

But then again, who wouldn't like such a well-behaved and eloquent spiritual pet!

Without hesitation, Liu Zimo moved his mind and received the strand of divine soul essence offered by the turtle.

With this strand of divine soul as a reference, he could now monitor the movements of the turtle at any time.

And if he wanted to, he could even invade the turtle's divine soul instantly using this divine soul essence as a marker, enslaving or ending it.

Seeing Liu Zimo accept its essence, the turtle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew!"

"That really scared me!"

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and discovered that this guy has already reached the realm of Martial Dao, even advancing his divine soul cultivation to the Spirit Abyss Saint Realm!"

What's even more outrageous is that the spiritual secret technique he practices is actually the sect's secret transmission from that old Taoist, the 'Supreme Induction Chapter'!

And, it seems that he also carries a trace of the old Taoist's spiritual aura!

It's really frightening!

Damn it, could this guy be the reincarnation of that old Taoist?!

Hearing the turtle's thoughts, Liu Zimo instantly understood.

No wonder the attitude of this giant turtle changed so quickly, it sensed his true cultivation strength.

Moreover, this spiritual turtle seems to have a deep connection with the 'Eastern Pearl' in his sea of consciousness, it's really a remarkable coincidence!

"Alright, shrink your body a bit, I don't like creatures that are much bigger than me standing in front of me!"

Liu Zimo pretended not to hear the plea from Turtle Although Longevity and spoke softly to give instructions.

Upon hearing this, Turtle Although Longevity immediately complied, and its spiritual power circulated within its body. In an instant, its huge body, like mountains and rivers, transformed into a palm-sized brown turtle.

Swish!

The turtle's shadow flickered and skillfully landed on Liu Zimo's right shoulder.

Seeing its almost instinctive and skilled movements, it was evident that it was the result of its previous owner's training.

"Tell me about your origins. Why did you appear in the East Sea?" Liu Zimo glanced at the cute Turtle Although Longevity perched on his shoulder and asked softly.

"In response to Master, I also don't know why I appeared in this sea area. I woke up here!" Turtle Although Longevity replied directly.

"As for my origins, I don't remember much. I only know that I used to be a spiritual beast under a Taoist master in a Taoist temple. I can't remember the master's name!" Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow and looked at Turtle Although Longevity, who appeared pitiful and fearful, and asked softly.

"Master, please calm down. I truly forgot. I dare not deceive Master even a bit!" Turtle Although Longevity looked up at Liu Zimo with a face full of grievance and fear.

[This guy is too cunning!]

[How did he figure out that this turtle wasn't telling the truth?]

[I've never heard of a spiritual beast soul contract having the function of 'telepathy'!]

[But it's not that this turtle doesn't want to tell the truth. It's because this turtle was forced to make a soul oath by that old Taoist thousands of years ago. If it speaks about the sect's information to outsiders, its soul will be immediately extinguished!]

[Moreover, after sleeping for thousands of years, I have forgotten many things. Our Xuan Turtle clan has never been good at memory!]

Liu Zimo nodded slightly and did not continue to inquire. He didn't want this spiritual beast he had just obtained to perish because of a few words.

"You just said that the demonic beasts on this island are all your subordinates. What does that mean?" Liu Zimo changed the question and continued to inquire.

He had been somewhat puzzled before. The number of demonic beasts gathered on this island seemed abnormal. Even when the demonic calamity occurred, they accidentally landed on this island. However, the ultimate goal of these extraterrestrial demonic beasts descending to Earth was to conquer the human race and enslave them.

Under normal circumstances, all demonic beasts that first descend on Earth would spontaneously gather near the nearest human city and continuously hunt and devour humans.

However, the demonic beasts on this island obediently stayed on the island, refusing to leave. This was obviously abnormal.

"Master misunderstood. They are not my subordinates, but snacks that I have raised!" Turtle Although Longevity explained softly.

"I have been asleep for too long, and my spiritual power and vitality are almost depleted. In order to quickly restore my cultivation strength, I can only continuously devour all the resources and living creatures nearby that contain spiritual power."

"And although these extraterrestrial demons and monsters are highly poisonous and not easy to digest, the spiritual power contained in their flesh and blood is comparable to any heavenly treasure."

"So, during the first outbreak of spiritual energy, I deliberately raised some of them on this island."

"Eat one every day, eat one every day. This way, I won't be poisoned by the toxins in the demonic beasts' flesh and blood, and I can obtain a large amount of spiritual energy to repair my cultivation!"

Upon hearing the turtle's explanation, Liu Zimo was speechless.

It had to be said that this spiritual turtle was quite clever, actually thinking of the same method as him.

However, the Spirit Turtle wants to restore its own cultivation strength, while Liu Zimo wants to restore the [Eastern Pearl] in his sea of consciousness.

The difference is that with the current strength of the Spirit Turtle, it can only eat one demonic beast a day to refine its spiritual power.

But Liu Zimo can hunt and kill thousands of demonic beasts and stuff their bodies into the Eastern Pearl.

"A few days ago, two Golden Body realm demonic beasts escaped from the island. You should know about it, right?"

"I know!" The Spirit Turtle answered without hesitation, "A black panther and a large snake broke through the restrictions I left outside the island while I was in a deep sleep."

"Although I was awakened at that time, I didn't have time to chase them back. I could only let them leave!"

"Most likely, they are the ones who led the master here, right?" The Spirit Turtle cleverly asked Liu Zimo.

Since the departure of the snake and the panther, it had been worried about this, but it didn't expect it to happen so soon.

What it didn't expect was that those two idiots actually attracted such a perverted human!

If it had known earlier, even if it had to endure the poison, it would have killed the snake and the panther!

"Almost!" Liu Zimo nodded slightly.

Although the Golden Python and the Black Panther never mentioned the existence of the Spirit Turtle before they died.

But they did come to this island under the "guidance" of these two elite demonic beasts.

"You have been stationed here for years. Don't you know that there is a spiritual energy paradise hidden in this island?"

Hearing Liu Zimo's question, the Spirit Turtle looked confused, "What spiritual energy paradise?"

"This is where the East Sea spiritual veins converge. Even thousands of years ago, when the spiritual energy dissipated and completely dried up, there was still a faint spiritual power seeping out."

"I barely survived until now relying on this trace of spiritual energy from the earth's veins. Could the spiritual energy paradise that the master mentioned be the East Sea spiritual veins?"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly. In the previous life, there were indeed mentions of dragon veins and earth veins regarding the origin of spiritual energy paradises.

Since the Spirit Turtle said that there is an East Sea spiritual vein here, it is most likely related to the spiritual energy paradise they are looking for.

"I advise the master not to bother!"

"All the spiritual veins on Earth disappeared two years ago when the spiritual energy awakened. I have been stationed here for so long and have not sensed any trace of spiritual veins!"

The Spirit Turtle shook its head slightly. If there were spiritual veins appearing here, it would not have missed it.

Liu Zimo glanced at the confident Spirit Turtle and shook his head speechlessly.

This lazy turtle, who only eats and sleeps, if it had been a bit more diligent and personally went to the island to take a look, it wouldn't have let the companion spirit plants in that spiritual energy paradise be taken advantage of by the snake and the panther.

If it could harness the massive spiritual energy in the spiritual energy paradise, it might have already restored itself to its peak state.

He raised his hand and looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Half an hour had already passed.

Liu Zimo didn't say much, he took the Spirit Turtle and appeared in the underground cave below the central basin of the island.

At this moment.

The dozen or so group-level demonic beasts hidden in the cave had all been killed, with their corpses and blood filling the ground.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Zimo collected all the bodies and blood of these demonic beasts into the Eastern Pearl.

Seeing Xiao Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Du Xuebing, and others sitting cross-legged next to the spiritual vein spring in the center of the cave, cultivating with closed eyes, their martial aura continuously soaring.

Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

It seems that he doesn't need to remind them anymore. They have already found the opportunity to break through on their own!
