The ruins left behind from the Mythological Era turned out to be a prison. Such an outcome was inconceivable to everyone. Legend had it that this was formed by the fall of an ancient Sovereign's palace from the Ninth Heaven.
If this was really a prison built by an ancient Sovereign, then the creature that was imprisoned in this prison would definitely have a great background.
After all, a creature that was worthy of being sealed by an ancient Sovereign would definitely not be an ordinary existence.
Gu Fei and the others were opening these incomparably ancient prisons. The sealing power of these prisons was already very weak, but it still took them a lot of effort to break these prisons.
In theory, there should be no life in these ancient prisons that spanned three eras. After being sealed for such a long period of time, even an ancient Sovereign would be exhausted to death.
However, when the ninth seal was opened, an extremely weak breath of life came out of the prison. Although this breath of life was extremely weak and almost negligible, in front of a powerhouse like Gu Fei, the appearance of this breath of life shocked them to the extreme.
"How is this possible …"
Everyone was shocked to the extreme, especially the old flood dragon. He knew some of the origins of these ancient ruins. How could there be life in such an ancient ruin?
Old Jiao had been guarding outside these ruins for tens of thousands of years. No one knew these ruins better than him.
Prior to this, only that human cultivator had entered this ancient ruin once ten thousand years ago. At that time, he was only a demonic cultivator who had just awakened his spiritual wisdom.
Of course, that human cultivator was not necessarily stronger than Old Jiao. However, the magic weapon in his hand made Old Jiao very afraid, so he did not dare to act rashly.
In the end, that human cultivator seemed to have encountered some kind of opportunity in these ruins and left happily.
Since then, no one from the Human Clan or any other race had discovered these ruins. However, Old Jiao had been guarding outside these ruins for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, Old Jiao had entered these ruins before, but he did not dare to go deep. He only dared to wander around the periphery.
It was also because of Old Jiao's cautiousness that he was able to survive until now and successfully become a dragon. If he had entered the depths of these ruins, he would probably have died inside.
"Be careful."
Hei Tian reminded everyone. A creature that had been sealed for three eras still didn't die, anyone would be moved. One had to understand that this was definitely a miracle.
Kacha.
After the seal was broken, the ground quickly cracked and then collapsed.
Everyone nervously stared at the pitch-black hole below.
Gu Zhong's blood and Qi surged as Martial Qi revolved around him. He looked like a reincarnated ancient god of war, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
"This …"
When Old Flood Dragon sensed the ocean-like energy fluctuations coming from his senior brother, he couldn't help but change his expression. This was definitely an almighty level of cultivation.
On the other hand, his own cultivation base had yet to be fully consolidated. He was still hovering between the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Emperor and the Almighty.
An almost transparent beam of sword light shot out from Hei Tian's body. It was a formless divine sword, and a wisp of saintly might emanated from the divine sword, causing people's hearts to palpitate.
Compared to the nervous expressions of Hei Tian and the others, Gu Fei was still very calm. There wasn't any powerful Qi coming from his body.
He gave off an unfathomable feeling.
The seal had been broken, but nothing rushed out from the pitch-black prison below. The surroundings were so quiet that even the breathing of the people around could be heard.
But no one dared to be careless.
One should know that the era before the Mythological Era was too long ago. The things of that era had basically been annihilated in that long period of time.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed. Then, the scene of the dungeon gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"This is …"
A huge tortoise shell appeared in front of everyone.
"An old tortoise."
Gu Fei and the others were dumbfounded. This was an ancient creature from before the Mythological Era.
This was a tortoise shell the size of a house. This tortoise shell had no aura of life. The aura of life came from within the tortoise shell. This was a fleshly body. The flesh and bones had already turned to dust, but the tortoise shell could not.
"Little nephew, go down and take a look."
Hei Tian glanced at Old Jiao and said.
"What …"
Old Jiao was shocked. But then he remembered that he seemed to be the person with the lowest seniority among the people present. It seemed like he could only do this kind of rough work.
"Go, I will protect you. I guarantee that you won't die."
Hei Tian said.
Old Jiao was very unwilling, but he couldn't refuse.
The Qi of life inside the tortoise shell made Gu Fei and the others feel a little uneasy. But the Qi of life was very weak and seemed to be of no threat to anyone.
Old Jiao jumped down and carried the huge tortoise shell up.
"Bang."
The tortoise shell was placed on the ground beside the prison. The heavy tortoise shell was like a mountain, and the ground shook when it hit.
On the shell that was the size of a house, there were thick lines intertwined. Upon closer inspection, these lines seemed to be naturally formed. They were natural Dao patterns.
"Creatures before the Mythological Era are indeed extraordinary."
Hei Tian couldn't help but sigh. Innate dao patterns were something that only Xiantian lifeforms could possess. Ordinary lifeforms definitely wouldn't possess such dao patterns.
Even the Old Tortoise, the son of the Tai Huang Dynasty, didn't have such natural Dao patterns.
"Natural Dao patterns. Could it be that this is a Chaotic Connate creature that was born from chaos?"
Gu Fei was also very shocked. The Connate Dao patterns on the tortoise shell seemed to still be effective. There was an invisible force that shrouded the huge tortoise shell.
The inside of the ancient prison was engraved with formation patterns that could devour Essence Qi. But this tortoise shell was a little special. Maybe it could counteract the devouring power in the prison.
There seemed to be something inside the tortoise shell.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. They were sure that it was a false alarm. The tortoise shell and the thing inside it didn't pose any threat to them.
Because the Qi of life inside the tortoise shell was too weak. It wasn't even as strong as the Qi of life on an ordinary person.
"What's going on?"
Hei Tian carefully examined the tortoise shell. Apart from the natural Dao patterns on the shell, there was nothing special about it.
This giant tortoise must have been very powerful when it was alive. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sealed in the prison by an ancient supreme being. However, no matter how powerful an existence was, it would still fall.
However, there was still a Qi of life coming from inside the tortoise shell. No one knew if this giant tortoise was already dead or if it wasn't completely dead yet.
It should be known that the more powerful an existence was, the harder it was to die.
"Little nephew, it's better for you to do it."
Hei Tian looked at Old Jiao again.
"This …"
Old Jiao had no choice but to walk forward and directly enter the huge tortoise shell that was as big as a house.
Gu Fei and the others all stared at Old Jiao. If there were any accidents, they would act immediately and rescue Old Jiao. Gu Fei even took out the Purple Gold Divine Sword.
This divine sword was a supreme divine sword. Not to mention a tortoise shell with natural Dao patterns, even immortal divine iron could be split in half by this sword.
It was still a false alarm. Very quickly, Old Jiao walked out of the tortoise shell with an "egg" in his hand.
"It can't be …"
Seeing that Old Jiao actually came out with an "egg" in his hand, Gu Fei and the others were stunned once again. There were too many surprises today.
This wasn't an ordinary 'egg', but a bone egg. The shell of the egg was made of dense bones, and these bones were covered with natural runes. These runes were exactly the same as the natural runes on the tortoise shell.
"This old tortoise has undergone Nirvana."
Hei Tian stared at the bone egg for a full hour before he said this.
Everyone was shocked. This giant tortoise had actually undergone Nirvana. They had heard of phoenixes undergoing Nirvana rebirth, but they had never heard of a tortoise undergoing Nirvana.
"Can tortoises undergo Nirvana too?"
Gu Zhong voiced out the doubts in his heart.
This was beyond the scope of everyone's understanding. Only Hei Tian, who had reincarnated countless times, knew some of the secrets of heaven and earth.
"Hmph, in theory, any powerful existence can undergo Nirvana rebirth. However, the price to pay is too high. Unless it is a life and death situation, no one is willing to take this path."
Hei Tian said.
The price to pay for Nirvana was too high. This was a self-destruction, cutting off one's cultivation and turning oneself into the most primitive state.
This was to beat oneself back to the original state.
Only those with great willpower would be able to harden their hearts and sever most of their cultivation at the juncture of life and death, thus preserving the most primordial brand of life.
Of course, during the process of Nirvana, a part of one's power would be sealed in one's own primitive life. After rebirth, through cultivation, this part of the power would be stimulated.
This giant tortoise was also forced into a dead end. Otherwise, it wouldn't have used this method to save its life.
It used the natural Dao patterns on the tortoise shell to resist the devouring power in the prison. Then, it used a secret technique to undergo Nirvana and turned into a bone egg.
Before this giant tortoise was born, it was also a bone egg.
A faint aura of life was emitted from this bone egg. The aura of life in the bone egg was almost gone. If Gu Fei and the others hadn't broken the seal, this bone egg would have become a dead egg in another few hundred or thousand years.
"This guy is really lucky."
After knowing the cause and effect, everyone couldn't help but be moved. This was a creature from the most ancient era before the Mythological Era. It had crossed three eras and finally turned into an egg.
And this egg was obtained by Gu Fei. It could be said that this giant tortoise was not fated to die.
