Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 506: A Mascot

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘Looks like apart from the Insects, the other races only sent one spirit beast during the interspatial disorder.’

His heart somehow tensed up at that thought. Given that 3 spirit beasts from the Insects showed up one after another and were followed by a Sky-devouring Devil God’s follower, which obviously colluded with the Insects, they were being unbelievably generous this time.

Although Ou Yangming settled the spirit beasts and the follower, he did not believe that the powerhouses hidden in the upper realm would leave this matter at that. Nobody knew what they would set up soon. All in all, it did not make him feel happy that those powerhouses and troubles were always thinking about him.

“Why did you set up a formation map here?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought. He stared at the giant turtle with bright eyes.

After coming to the upper realm, the giant turtle had attacked Canghai City several times but seemed quite half-hearted overall. Not to mention being compared with the Insects’ scheme, it was also far from the spirit beasts sent by the Beasts and the Birds.

Moreover, the giant turtle had intentionally set up the Aquatics Formation far from Canghai City, hence Ou Yangming was puzzled by its strange move.

The giant turtle grunted and answered, “Honorable powerhouse, I don’t intend to harm the Humans at all; I only want to sleep here...”

‘Sleep?’

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. ‘You can lie to a ghost!’

He scoffed coldly. “You don’t intend to harm the Humans? Heh, Brother Hong, was it not this fella you encountered when you previously went against the Aquatics?”

Hong Feiyu immediately answered, “Brother Ou, it’s definitely this spirit turtle; I’ll never forget it.”

He had oddly come to this realm from the upper realm and even became Canghai City’s guardian. After fighting the Aquatics’ spirit turtle several times, he would not be confused by its aura at all.

The giant turtle revealed a bit of its shoulders and explained, “Human powerhouse, I’m only carrying out my task, but I don’t mean to invade the city at all. I always go back to sleep after an hour, and I didn’t cause substantial damage to the Humans...”

Hong Feiyu was hesitant. Even though he was rather embarrassed by the spirit turtle’s words, he dared not hide anything or exaggerate the matter when he saw the questioning look on Ou Yangming’s face.

Based on the ability displayed by the spirit turtle during its standoff with the goshawk earlier, it not only possessed remarkable physical powers, but it was also extremely familiar with the water-mastery spell. Even so, the turtle never employed the spell when it fought Hong Feiyu, Ni Yinghong, and Jiang Jiumei. In a way, it had been resisting its opponents with sheer physical powers. If it actually went all-out, nobody could guarantee that Canghai City would be safe.

“Why are you doing this?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows.

The giant turtle answered without any delay, “I only came to the lower realm to get more sleep, so as long as I complete my task, I’ll have nothing to do with anything!”

Ou Yangming, Ni Yinghong, and the others looked at each other and noticed how equally puzzled they were.

“What task?”

“Give my all to attack the Humans within a decade and eliminate the Humans along the coastal area if I can.” The giant turtle shrunk its neck as though it was afraid that Ou Yangming—the human boss—would be mad. This was because it could tell that while the auras of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were the greatest among these powerhouses, the seemingly insignificant human cultivator was the one in charge.

Ou Yangming did not find the turtle’s answer strange because Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk received similar orders when they descended to the lower realm.

If they had not encountered Ou Yangming, they would have gone on killing sprees already. Nevertheless, both the king kong and the goshawk carried out their tasks diligently, whereas the giant turtle might really be idling on the job...

“You—why aren’t you doing it?” Ou Yangming raised another question.

The giant turtle widened its eyes and answered, “Why should I do something so tiring? It’s not as comfortable as sleeping!”

Ou Yangming and the others looked at each other. If they had not heard this themselves, they would not believe that they encountered such a lazy fellow.

They would not believe it if another spirit beast said it, but they were convinced because it came from the lazy spirit turtle.

“Since you set up a formation on this beach, are you planning to occupy this land for a long time?” Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and asked.

“This is a great place to sleep, and I only set up a formation that’ll prevent me from getting disturbed and will help me to sleep; I don’t plan to take up this place for a long time,” the giant turtle answered carefully.

Ni Yinghong asked abruptly, “How long do you plan to stay?”

“I can stay in this realm for a century. As long as I get past a century, I’ll be able to sleep here for the remaining time!” The giant turtles answered after some thought. Its eyes gleamed as if it was immersed in an incredibly joyful dream and could not extricate itself.

Ou Yangming looked at the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong because he wanted to distinguish the validity of the giant turtle’s words.

Multi-armed King Kong stated after a brief moment, “Master, the Turtles are indeed known for being lazy. The Aquatics sent a spirit turtle, which is even the laziest fella, to the lower realm... I don’t know what they’re thinking.”

The spirit turtle glanced with fear at the king kong but thought, ‘I’m not the laziest; you haven’t seen those that are lazier than me...’

Nonetheless, its body was still under the king kong’s foot. When it sensed the enormous pressure, which could crush it at any time, it dared not say a word.

Ou Yangming pondered and questioned, “Are you planning to occupy this land for a century?”

“Yes, yes.” The spirit turtle quickly nodded. “Only for a century—nothing more than that.”

“Since you already came to the lower realm, could it be that you have a way to go back?” Ou Yangming sneered.

“Of course,” the spirit turtle responded without any hesitation, “The passage to the upper realm will naturally be opened after a century. They’ll send another spirit beast here, and I’ll be able to return by the way I came.”

Seeing how it answered so naturally, it did not seem like it was lying at all.

Ou Yangming cast a questioning look at Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk.

“Master, it’s true that the passage is opened once every century, but we can’t live through a century if we stay here without doing anything.” Multi-armed King Kong smiled bitterly and pointed at the sky. It was evident that it meant the Heavenly Thunderbolts would have killed them within a century.

“You’re so afraid of the Heavenly Thunderbolts, but why is this fella so confident?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows.

“Master, it’s planning to sleep for a century!” The goshawk shrieked and sounded like it was wronged.

“Can one dodge the Heavenly Thunderbolts by sleeping?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.

“Spirit turtles are known as the laziest creatures in the world, and they have lives so long that their cultivation bases will naturally improve even if they keep sleeping. As for the Heavenly Thunderbolts...” The goshawk glared at the spirit turtle then sighed. “Not to mention spirit turtles, even Multi-armed King Kong and me can avoid being spotted by the Heavenly Thunderbolts if we’re sealed.”

Ou Yangming nodded. He understood the difference between being sealed and sleeping, but he also understood what the goshawk meant.

‘I suppose the effect of sleep for spirit turtles is probably not much inferior to the effect of being sealed.’

“Master, how should we settle this fella?” Multi-armed King Kong’s rumbling voice was heard.

The spirit turtle instantly shouted, “Human powerhouse, I didn’t harm the Humans, so please forgive my recklessness and allow me to apologize to you!”

Ou Yangming scoffed. At the spur of the moment, the little red bird’s voice was heard in his head. “The Turtles are known to stand aloof from worldly affairs. Besides, killing a spirit turtle is a bad omen, so are you sure you want to kill it?”

The young fellow was struck dumb, and he looked at the little red bird. It seemed to be the little red bird’s first time giving him a suggestion.

Having said that, it was exactly the reason Ou Yangming attached special attention to it.

“Lil’ Red, what do you think we should do? I won’t be at ease if I let it stay here in seclusion. Can we send it back?” Ou Yangming asked the little bird through his conception.

“It’s easy—keep it and set it free once you return to the upper realm.” The little red bird did not object to his idea. “The interspatial band that I gave you can be used to keep living things, so let it sleep inside.”

Ou Yangming touched his wrist. He would not be confident about doing this before he was given the Long Feather Band but now, the vast space inside the band could even accommodate Multi-armed King Kong, let alone a spirit turtle.

He flashed to the front of the spirit turtle and said sternly, “Since you don’t want to harm the Humans, go back.”

The spirit turtle was startled. ‘Human powerhouse, I can’t return to the upper realm now!”

“Let me worry about that,” Ou Yangming noted as he reached out his hand, then he continued after a pause, “When the time is right, I’ll bring you up.”

“Are you asking me to acknowledge you as my master? I don’t mind, so as long as you can guarantee my sleeping time, I’ll agree to do that.” The giant turtle blinked and was hesitant.

The goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong rolled their eyes at it. ‘You have eyes but fail to see.

‘Master already has us, so why would he need a lazy *ss like you?’

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I never thought about being your master, but I don’t want a rare spirit turtle to die just like that. Don’t you want to sleep? I have a good place that’ll allow you to sleep until you return to the upper realm.”

The giant turtle’s eyes lit up at once, so much so that they seemed to be burning in flames. As such, there was an entirely different look in its eyes.

“Where? Where?” It yelled anxiously. If it was not because it was being pinned down by Multi-armed King Kong, it would have gone over to the young fellow already.

Ou Yangming chuckled and touched the Long Feather Band on his wrist. “I have a piece of interspatial equipment here, so you can come in and sleep. I assure you that you’ll be back in the upper realm by the time you wake up.”

The giant turtle widened its eyes. “Does the kind of interspatial equipment with massive space and the ability to keep living beings exist in this realm?”

“How would you know if you don’t try?” Ou Yangming scoffed. He flashed and arrived beside the spirit turtle, then the Long Feather Band on his wrist released an endless light and enveloped the humongous creature.
