Zhao Hai calmly looked ahead. Ding Chunming and the others were standing beside Zhao Hai, all of them had nervous expressions on their faces. They didn't think that they would be able to see such a behemoth, it was just too big.
This was a giant turtle, but it was different from ordinary turtles. The turtle's feet looked like oars used for paddling, and the speed of its paddling was very fast.
However, this giant turtle's feet looked like those of a tortoise. They looked more like the feet of an elephant, as if they were huge pillars.
Although the turtle's head looked round, it was actually very large. The diameter of its head alone was more than a kilometer. They had never seen such a large turtle before.
But thinking about it, if it wasn't this big, then it would be impossible for it to carry a city. However, this giant turtle didn't seem to have any intelligence. It was just crawling forward mechanically. It didn't seem to be eating anything. Its eyes were also blurred, without the slightest spirit. It was as if it was just a walking corpse, its soul had already disappeared.
From the looks of it, this giant turtle hadn't moved for a long time. Aside from its mechanical legs, there shouldn't be any other movement on its body. Thick layers of rock had already grown out of its body. Corals, aquatic plants, and countless turtles were swimming around inside the layers of rock.
Regardless of whether this giant tortoise had intelligence or not, Ding Chunming and the others didn't dare to take it lightly. This was because this giant tortoise was simply too big. Being big might not be a great ability in the Cultivation World. Many cultivators had artifacts that could be big or small. But to be this big, even if it was just a caterpillar, it would still be very powerful. It could easily kill a cultivator with a slap.
Zhao Hai looked at the giant turtle, then he sighed and said, "I don't know who it was that treated this creature like this. What a pity, what a pity."
Ding Chunming and the others looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. They didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai looked at them and then said, "Isn't it strange? Why am I feeling pity? Let me tell you, this giant turtle is the same as the Fire Phoenix that we saw under Sky City. It has also been sealed. But this time, it was sealed by a formation, a very powerful formation. This formation is very complex. If I hadn't been studying runes recently, I wouldn't have been able to discover it. The purpose of this formation is to erode the turtle's consciousness. It can be said that this formation has successfully erased the turtle's consciousness. It will take a lot of time for the turtle to regain its consciousness. Moreover, the strength of this giant turtle isn't any worse than the Fire Phoenix. A high-level creature like this shouldn't be treated like this. You should kill it, it's better than treating it like this. "
Ding Chunming smiled bitterly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe the people who treated it like this can't kill it. Young Master, what should we do now?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Break the seal and restore its intelligence."
When Ding Chunming and the others heard Zhao Hai, they were all startled. Ding Chunming looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, if you really do this, then the consequences will be very serious. If this giant turtle regains its intelligence, then I'm afraid we won't be able to control it. If we can't control it, then the Merchant City will be finished."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You can rest assured, I have a way. You can all wait here. You can't help me with the rest, I can only do it myself." After he said that, Zhao Hai's figure moved and directly landed on the giant turtle's head. The giant turtle didn't seem to feel anything, it was still crawling forward.
Zhao Hai waved his hand as a rune flew out. The rocks on top of the giant turtle flew away, revealing the giant turtle's green scales. The giant turtle's skin wasn't ordinary, its scales weren't the same as other turtles. However, these golden scales had a very complicated pattern on them. This pattern was very strange and beautiful. It looked like a character, a pattern, a flower, and an abstract drawing of an animal.
This pattern might not be very big on the giant turtle's body, but now that Zhao Hai was standing on it, he could see how big it was. The diameter of the pattern was at least ten meters, it was very big and very complicated. It would make people feel dizzy just by looking at it.
Zhao Hai stood on the giant formation and carefully looked at it. Because of his understanding of the runes, he was now able to understand the functions of formations that he hadn't seen before.
Zhao Hai hadn't seen the formation on the giant turtle before. However, through his understanding of the runes, Zhao Hai was able to understand its functions. This formation was very insidious. Not only could it erase the giant turtle's consciousness, it could also absorb energy from the turtle's body in order to support the formation. In other words, this formation was using the giant turtle's own energy to erase its consciousness. This was too insidious.
After completely memorizing the formation, Zhao Hai sat on the formation and began to deduce it. He didn't directly break the formation because he still didn't understand it. There were still some parts that he didn't know about. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to break the formation.
When Ding Chunming and the others saw that Zhao Hai was fine, they didn't stay here. Only Sheng Kuang and Che Rong were left behind to protect Zhao Hai. The others returned to the Merchant City to understand the situation there.
Time passed little by little. Ten days later, Zhao Hai finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath. At the same time, the runes in his eyes seemed to have increased, making him look even more mysterious.
Zhao Hai stood up and looked at Sheng Kuang and Che Rong. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, you two can go up. Next, I'll break the formation. During this process, there might be some energy spilling out. You might get hurt if you stay here."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Sheng Kuang couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately said, "Adoptive Father, is this formation really that strong? We'll get hurt if we stay here? "
Zhao Hai replied, "This formation is very strong. But it's not because it's strong that you got injured. Instead, it's because the giant turtle is very strong that you got injured. Do you understand?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
When Sheng Kuang and Che Rong heard Zhao Hai, they nodded. They understood what Zhao Hai meant. This formation must be suppressing the Giant Tortoise's power. Because of this, once the formation is broken, the Giant Tortoise's power would surely spill out. At that time, they would have to bear the Giant Tortoise's power, which might cause them to get hurt.
After thinking about this, Sheng Kuang immediately said, "Alright, Adoptive Father. Let's go up and wait."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then the two flew up to the sea. After the two left, Zhao Hai looked down at the formation beneath his feet. Then he began to break the formation's nodes.
Although this step seemed very easy, in fact, it wasn't that simple. Zhao had already seen that the nodes of the formation couldn't be broken randomly. You must find the right order. If you break the nodes of the formation at will, then the formation may directly activate and trap you inside the formation.
If it weren't for Zhao Hai's understanding of runes and formations, then he wouldn't have been able to discover this. If he rashly broke the formation, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhao Hai broke the nodes of the formation step by step. This formation was too complicated. There were more than ten thousand nodes. Zhao Hai needed to break the nodes in order. It would take a long time. After two hours, Zhao Hai had only broken half of the nodes. But at this time, Zhao Hai could feel that the energy of the formation was decreasing. It seems like the formation was about to be broken.
After another two hours, Zhao Hai finally broke all the nodes. After the last node was broken, Zhao Hai couldn't help but look at the formation nervously. Now that the nodes of the formation had been broken, the next moment would be the same.
Under Zhao Hai's gaze, the formation slowly disappeared. It didn't shatter, nor did it make any loud noises. Instead, it just disappeared. It was like a painting on sand that was washed away by water.
After the formation disappeared, Zhao Hai felt an incomparably powerful force coming from the giant turtle. However, Zhao Hai had already thought about this. With an intention, golden runes flew out from his hand. These runes flew towards the giant turtle's head and immediately formed a formation. Then Zhao Hai let out a shout as the runes appeared on top of the giant turtle's head. When the runes appeared, Zhao Hai felt the runes fusing into the giant turtle's body. Then Zhao Hai felt that there was a faint connection between him and the giant turtle. At the same time, the energy of the giant turtle also fused into the runes before it slowly entered Zhao Hai's body.
The giant turtle's energy was very large. When Zhao Hai felt this energy enter his body, he was startled. However, he immediately began to absorb this energy. The starlight nodes on his body were doing their best to absorb this energy. At the same time, Zhao Hai also intentionally used the energy that he absorbed to temper his body. When he couldn't absorb enough energy, he would directly put it into the Space.
When the energy entered the Space, Zhao Hai felt the Space shake. Then a large amount of energy entered the Space, making the energy inside the Space even richer. The Hundred Spirits Tree inside the Space also began to grow quickly.
After some time, the energy slowly stopped. Then Zhao Hai felt that he and the giant turtle were connected by the runes. Zhao Hai discovered that the giant turtle's bloodline had also entered his body. At the same time, the giant turtle seemed to have become an avatar of himself.
