After Old Tortoise swallowed half of the Dragon Yuan Fruit, the aura on his body became much stronger. Like rain after a long drought, it injected a huge amount of vitality into his exhausted body.
Of course, for an antique like Old Tortoise, the essence contained in half of the Dragon Yuan Fruit was just a drop in the bucket. At most, it could only help him recover some of his vitality. Who knew how long it would take for the old tortoise to completely recover its past cultivation?
Because it was a spiritual essence nurtured by the Divine Dragon's blood essence, the Dragon Yuan Fruit contained a wisp of Real Dragon Qi, which was of great benefit to Xiaoqing's transformation into a dragon.
The half of the Dragon Yuan Fruit that Old Tortoise threw into the Pseudo Heaven and Earth was consumed by Xiaoqing, who was cultivating in the Pseudo Heaven and Earth.
At Gu Fei's request, Old Tortoise opened the Pseudo Heaven and Earth and the two of them walked into it.
After the battle of the Eighteen Fighting Souls, the Pseudo Heaven and Earth, which had been riddled with holes and broken, had turned into yellow sand. At this time, it was gradually regaining its vitality.
Above the yellow sand, green began to appear. The bamboo forest in the small valley no longer existed. The small lake in the bamboo forest had also dried up.
The Pseudo Heaven and Earth, which was originally like a fairyland, had completely changed and become barren.
In the small valley, there was an azure figure coiled around a patch of grass. Its huge azure body was as thick as a water bucket, and it was covered in azure scales that flickered with an azure light, as if there was a layer of light flowing around it.
A strong wave of energy spread from Xiaoqing's body. It seemed to be in a deep sleep, refining the huge amount of Spiritual Qi contained in the Dragon Blood Fruit.
The Xiaoqing Snake that was less than a foot long and the size of a chopstick had now become a huge monster. It should no longer be called Xiaoqing, but Daqing, which would be more appropriate.
This was a strange green snake. If its body stretched out, it would be a conservative estimate that it would be more than ten feet long. Its body was comparable to the One-Horned Demon Snake that Old Tortoise had killed.
This was because the Dragon Yuan Fruit contained the True Dragon Qi, which was extremely beneficial to snake-type Demonic Beasts. It could even play a decisive role when a snake was transforming into a dragon.
This was also the reason why the Single-Horned Demon Snake was so desperate to obtain the Dragon Origin Fruit. However, it was a pity that in the face of absolute power, even if they risked their lives, it would be futile. They would only end up with a tragic death.
"This little fellow's potential is limitless. If it can completely refine the True Dragon Qi nurtured within the Dragon Yuan Fruit, its foundation will become even more profound. It is not impossible for a snake to transform into a dragon." Old Tortoise said. For a super antique like Old Tortoise, no one knew the cultivation of mutants better than him.
After all, the old tortoise was a figure from the ancient times. Countless Almighties from the ancient times had now disappeared from the world, annihilated in the endless passage of time.
It was already a miracle that the old tortoise had survived until now without being destroyed by the ancient formation.
Gu Fei did not want to disturb Xiaoqing, so he came out of the fake world with Old Tortoise. After a brief discussion, the two headed straight for the depths of the Sky Burial Valley.
The Nine-Colored Immortal Herb could not be obtained by the Guangcheng Celestial Sect or the Shangqing Sect. Although Gu Fei did not know what the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb could be used for, it seemed like the sect attached great importance to it.
Since the people from the Three Major Taoist Sects that entered the Ruin Sky Realm were willing to fight over the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb, it seemed like the herb would definitely be of great use. Not only the Taixuan Sect, but the Guangcheng Celestial Sect and the Shangqing Sect also seemed determined to get their hands on it.
Moreover, with the help of a monster like Old Tortoise, it would be enough to wipe out the Guangcheng Celestial Sect and the Shangqing Sect. Wouldn't the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb be easy to obtain?
Under the cover of the night, the man and the tortoise left the Land of the Buried Dragon and quickly traveled through the primitive forest.
That old tortoise was indeed a monster. Almost no Demonic Beasts dared to stand in its way. Of course, there were some unlucky Demonic Beasts that did not dodge in time and were directly slapped away by Old Tortoise.
Old Tortoise seemed to have little intention to kill. Even when it made a move, it would only slap away the Demonic Beasts that were in its way. It did not do anything like exterminating the Demonic Beasts and taking their Demon Cores.
Under Old Tortoise's lead, they traveled about thirty to forty miles through the seemingly endless primitive forest and mountain ridges. Then, they arrived at the foot of a conical mountain that was shaped like a volcanic crater.
This mountain rose from the ground and abruptly appeared in the endless sea of forest, towering between heaven and earth.
The pitch-black mountain seemed to be formed after solidifying magma. There was no vegetation on it, not even a blade of grass. It was completely bare and looked very strange.
Gu Fei, who had arrived at the foot of the mountain, immediately sensed the fluctuations of magic power coming from the mountain. He could vaguely see strong beams of light shooting from the top of the mountain and shooting into the sky.
Could it be that the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb grew on this strange, bare mountain? Gu Fei could not help but wonder. The surrounding area was lush with vegetation, but this pitch-black mountain was the only place where there was no greenery at all. There was not even any sign of vegetation growing.
Gu Fei did not think too much about it. He and Old Tortoise turned into two rays of light and rushed up the mountain. This mountain was extremely steep, but Gu Fei and Old Tortoise were not ordinary people. Soon, they stepped on the shiny black rocks and reached the top of the mountain.
When Gu Fei reached the top of the mountain, he was shocked by what he saw in front of him. It turned out that the top of the mountain was not flat but sunken, forming a huge cave with a radius of hundreds of acres.
It was as if the entire mountain was hollow. Waves of Dharma power and sharp Sword Qi came out of the cave. Indistinctly, the sound of fighting could be heard echoing in the spacious cave.
Standing at the edge of the cave entrance and looking down, all one could see was a patch of gray, and the scenery below was very blurry. However, from time to time, sharp sword lights would break through the gray fog and shoot up from below.
Under the illumination of the sword qi, one could clearly see that the cone-shaped mountain was hollow. Moreover, it was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like an inverted funnel.
It seemed that the people from the Three Main Daoist Sects were still fighting for the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb. The brilliant light and cold sword qi that erupted from the magic treasures illuminated the huge cave.
Just as Gu Fei was about to climb down the cave wall, a voice suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, Old Tortoise, who was standing next to Gu Fei, pulled him back and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry to go down?"
Puzzled, Gu Fei looked at Old Tortoise and asked, "Why are you stopping me?" Gu Fei was very puzzled. He did not know what Old Tortoise was thinking about at the expense of others.
Old Tortoise chuckled and said, "Hehe, we might as well sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight. It won't be too late to go down after the winner is decided!"
"Sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight? How can we watch the tigers fight when we can't even see a shadow here? "Gu Fei said snappily. This Old Tortoise always came up with bad ideas.
"Uh! That … seems to be true! Hehe!! "Old Tortoise said embarrassedly.
Gu Fei paid no more attention to Old Tortoise. He went straight down the shining cave wall and climbed down with his hands and feet like a nimble monkey.
"What the hell, is there a need to do this?" Old Tortoise could not help but roll his eyes when he saw that Gu Fei was really climbing down. Then, with a swoosh, he disappeared from where he was and appeared next to Gu Fei the next moment.
Old Tortoise reached out and grabbed Gu Fei's collar rudely. He pulled him down from the cliff and held him in his hand.
Gu Fei was shocked by Old Tortoise's sudden action. His hands and feet felt sore and powerless. Although Gu Fei's eyes could not penetrate the layer of gray mist that shrouded the cave, judging from the fluctuations of mana and sword aura coming from below, it was at least a thousand feet from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cave. Even if Gu Fei's body was tempered like steel, his tendons and bones would be broken and he would die from falling from such a high place.
The terrifying impact of falling from a thousand feet high was enough to cause a fatal shock to Gu Fei's internal organs.
"What are you doing, Old Tortoise? I was almost scared to death!" Gu Fei said angrily. The feeling of being carried by Old Tortoise made Gu Fei very depressed.
"Humph! My kindness is not rewarded. I'm just helping you get down faster! "Old Tortoise said. Then, he carried Gu Fei and slowly descended into the cave.
Gu Fei found that Old Tortoise seemed to be able to fly in the air. There seemed to be a special fluctuation that shrouded Old Tortoise and himself.
"This fluctuation?" Gu Fei vaguely felt that the strange fluctuation that shrouded Old Tortoise and himself seemed to be very similar to the spatial fluctuation that he guided from the Inner Space.
This guy … this guy is using the Heaven and Earth Power of the Pseudo World to fly in the air? Gu Fei quickly understood that the Pseudo World Power could be used in this way. He was inspired.
In that case, wouldn't I also be able to fly in the air and enter Qingming? Thinking of this, Gu Fei could not help but feel excited. Riding the clouds and roaming the Nine Heavens did not seem to be something that was out of reach.
It should be noted that in the cultivation world of the Teng Long Continent, cultivators who could fly in the air without the help of any Dharma treasures or flying swords were incomparably great cultivators of the Imperial Void Realm.
Even cultivators of the Transcending Mortality Realm could only rely on Dharma treasures or flying swords to enter and exit Qingming.
Gu Fei did not try it right away. Instead, he suppressed the excitement in his heart. At this time, Old Tortoise carried him through the layer of gray fog that shrouded the sky above the cave. The vision of the man and the tortoise suddenly widened.
Below the fog was a huge space that was more than ten times larger than the cave above. Figures were moving quickly in the rubble below like bolts of lightning.
Old Tortoise carried Gu Fei and flew through the air. He quickly flew to a hidden spot at the side. No one noticed that someone had entered the cave.
At this time, the people of the Three Major Taoist Sects, Taixuan Sect, Guangcheng Immortal Sect, and Shangqing Sect, where Gu Fei was from, were fighting under the leadership of Dan Chenzi, Liu Ruhai, and Ding Yangzi.
