âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â Shi Hao asked. He was momentarily stunned, but he didnât truly lose himself.
âThis world will soon no longer exist just like the last great era, everything reaching its end like a reincarnation. Even if a new great era is opened, when the time comes, it will still reach this step, eternally sinking into darkness.â A sigh sounded from within the mists.
âWhy did you seek me out?â Shi Hao asked. Even though there were great waves stirring within him, he still looked calm on the surface.
âYou, me, and many others wish to continue living. The reason I seeked you out is nothing more than this.â The long life medicine said.
âAnd by finding me, the problem will be solved?â Shi Hao didnât believe it.
âI merely wished to establish some good karma, as well as ask you to be magnanimous, letting a few wondrous medicines on this island go. There are some that have the opportunity to become divine medicines. It truly isnât easy to do so.â
Divine medicines were too rare, their existences countable. There were extremely rare treasures.
A light breeze blew over. The chaotic mists up ahead scattered, revealing the true scene. Brilliant light surged. Shi Haoâs eyes immediately stood up straight. What was that? It was a place of All Life Earth!
He had previously obtained a bit of this precious earth from within a pot inside Jun Daoâs cavern, stored within was this type of unmatched precious earth. Just that little pot alone was enough to make the little rabbit roll all over the ground in excitement, saying that she was going to use that to achieve the dao.
However, it now looked like an entire area of a zhang was covered in this type of earth. They were like sand, each granule sparkling. There was chaotic energy all around, and heaven and earth foundation essence gathered over as well.
âI never never completely destroy them, always saving the seeds after picking holy medicines, the roots left unharmed as well.â Shi Hao replied, his eyes not blinking as he stared at the earth.
This was definitely heaven shocking great natural luck. This All Life Earth could be used to do many heaven defying things!
It was rumored that All Life Earth could nurture everything. If an immortal lord died in battle and was buried in this earth, it would be preserved eternally, not decaying. After endless years had passed, the immortal might revive.
How heaven defying was this?
This area of a zhang in size was enough to bury several creatures. Shi Haoâs heart was beating heavily as he stared at the All Life Earth. He opened his Heavenly Eyes to see things to the end.
It was because there might be creatures sleeping below!
However, he unexpectedly couldnât see through it. The chaotic mists drifted over, immortal energy swirled, making this place appear more and more holy.
âIt is good that dao friend has such thoughts.â That voice sounded once again.
Bo!
The sound of the earth breaking through the ground sounded. Within that earth grew a plant that was entirely snow white and accompanied by immortal mists. It scattered down a rain of light, appearing extraordinary and free from vulgarity.
White tortoise carrying immortal!
It appeared. Just now, it was beneath the earth.
What was there exactly in this All Life Earth? Was there really only a stalk of medicine with nothing else buried underneath? Shi Haoâs eyes were deep, he really wanted to take a look.
However, he didnât act rashly. Since the white tortoise dared to appear so close to him, it definitely didnât fear anything.
âYou only wished for me to do this much after seeking me out?â Shi Hao asked.
Multicolored light flashed, silver splendor scattering outwards. A beautiful person also broke out from the earth, stepping onto the white tortoise. White clothes fluttered about as if she was dancing. She looked at Shi Hao curiously.
Regardless of whether it was the tortoise or the beauty, they were both snow-white like jade. If not for the fact that their bodies were extremely small, others would definitely mistaken that for a true immortal on the back of a tortoise. However⊠it was only a stalk of medicine!
âI still wish to rescue my dao brother. This island has been imprisoned for an extremely long time, a bit over a great era, so perhaps it should see the light again. I wish for your assistance.â That white tortoise spoke.
This was the first time Shi Hao saw a stalk of long life medicine under such close distance. Surprisingly, other than the wave of sweet fragrance he first smelled, all of the specks of radiance and fragrance were withdrawn into the snow-white medicineâs body, not wasting the slightest bit.
âYou already said that all things withered, this entire world about to be destroyed. What would leaving this place do? Wouldnât the results be the same?â Shi Hao asked in response.
âIt is different. If we escape, there will at least be a chance at life.â The white tortoise released a sigh. The large eyes of the beauty on its back moved about. From start to now, she never uttered a word.
âAre you really a long life medicine, or are you an immortal that had been buried here from the last great era?â Shi Hao was suspicious, asking like this.
This white tortoise immediately called him dao brother, making it seem a bit like a cultivator. He truly began to suspect if this was the result of an immortal corpse developing intelligence, turning into an undying medicine.
It was because there was this type of rumors before!
âI am just a stalk of medicine, my lifespan quite ancient,â said the white tortoise.
âTell me a bit about the last great era, what exactly happened?â Shi Haoâs eyes shone. There were too many things he didnât understand inside and urgently wished to learn about.
âI am just a stalk of medicine that was trapped on the island. Dao brother, do you feel that I will know anything?â The white tortoiseâs eyes sparkled.
Shi Haoâs gaze became indistinct, staring at it in disbelief. âYou are asking me for help, yet you canât even satisfy this small wish of mine. It wonât even cost you anything to talk about it.â
âI really donât know anythingâŠâ The white tortoise sighed, his eyes revealing a bit of helplessness. âIâve lived for quite some time, but I feel like there was disaster halfway, my body damaged, losing many memories.â
âYou⊠you really arenât a fallen immortal that later became a stalk of long life medicine?!â Shi Hao was shocked.
âShouldnât be.â The white tortoise refused. It then looked towards the beautiful fairy on its back, her white clothes purer than snow, appearance perfect. At this moment, she also shook her head.
âDao brother, if you undo the seal on this island, I can gift you exceptional treasures,â said the white tortoise.
âFor example?â Shi Hao asked. He was deeply perplexed by this medicine. There were many things he didnât understand about it, too mysterious.
âI can gift you Immortal Gold.â The white tortoise calmly said.
âWhich type?â Shi Hao didnât change his attitude, but the Divine Striking Stone jumped out first. These were the rarest treasures of the world, yet they were going to just gift it out. Its eyes immediately shone, asking, âCan you gift me World Stone, Origin Stone?â
âWe do not have. However, I have half a piece of Heavenfault Stone, something known to be able to repair the heavens, I wonder if you can chew threw it?â The white tortoise raised a claw, moving away some of the All Life Earth, producing a green-colored rock.
It was less than a foot in size, incomparably simple and unadorned. It was a faint green color.
âGift it to you!â The white tortoise said, pushing it over.
Ao⊠The Divine Striking Stone screamed. It looked at the immortal treasure that flew through the air, devouring it in one bite.
Shi Haoâs eyes blinked. That really was Heavenfault Stone! He had previously seen it before in Origin Sky Secret Realm, because Origin Sky Supreme beingâs battle clothes were precisely refined from this stone.
Only, no one could bring away that stone armor.
Shi Hao looked at the Divine Striking Stone. He suddenly felt like this fella might really be able to produce immortal energy. It ate Origin Stone, All Magic Stone, Heavenâs Mandate Stone⊠there were just too many good things.
âDao brother, what do you think?â The white tortoise asked Shi Hao.
âI donât lack Immortal Gold, had some for a while.â Shi Hao said.
âThen how about I gift you a long life medicine?â The white tortoise said.
When this sentence was spoken, Shi Haoâs expression changed. The Divine Striking Stone was also shocked, staring at it. What kind of sacred object was this? Who could resist this type of temptation?
It was rumored that after eating long life medicine, one could become immune to all calamities!
âYou⊠are sure?!â Shi Haoâs voice became a bit unnatural.
âActually, to achieve eternal life, depending on a medicine alone isnât enough. One needs to have the corresponding cultivation. Dao brother, do not be misled.â The white tortoise shivered when it saw him stare at it, immediately shrinking its neck and speaking like this.
âAre you going to gift yourself to me?â Shi Hao asked.
âHow could that be? The growth of a long life medicine is too slow. If I wish to cut my own body, only leaving the roots, how will I make it through the disaster, escape the impending word destruction?â The white tortoise shook its head.
âThen how will you gift it?â
âDao friend, I can hand over two jade jars. I can gift you two drops of long life liquid,â said the white tortoise.
âThatâs too little!â The Divine Striking Stone was the first to stomp its feet, feeling that this white tortoise was too stingy.
âItâs not that little, this is long life medicinal liquid. Forget about this era, even when Immortals were still alive, it would still be rarely seen!â The white tortoise shook its head.
Shi Hao didnât say another word. He brought out two jumbo sized jars and placed them at his feet.
This left the old tortoise speechless.
âDao brother, even if you put me inside of those, it wouldnât be able to fill the jars upâŠâ The white tortoise said.
Shi Hao didnât say anything, exchanging it for two little containers. Multicolored light flashed. The white tortoise used special methods to seize them. The All Life Earth flickered with symbols.
The Divine Striking Stone shivered inwardly. There were immortal dao symbols and formations. As expected, one couldnât act randomly here!
The white tortoise stuck out its head and looked around. For some reason, it made one feel as if it was a bit lowly. Then, while facing the jar, he spat out a drop of saliva that dripped inside.
Shi Haoâs forehead immediately became filled with dark lines. This white tortoise seemed like it needed its ass kicked!
Couldnât it just produce a drop of liquid from any random place? Why did it have to spit inside?!
Even though they knew that this was a stalk of medicine, only having fragrance, not filthy, Shi Hao still wanted to smack it.
âIf you spit out saliva for the second drop, then I don'tâ want it!â Shi Hao glared at it.
âSo picky.â The white tortoise shook its head. It slowly turned its body around, aiming its bottom towards the other container.
âGet your ass over here, I promise Iâll beat you within an inch of your life!â Shi Hao said.
This white tortoise really wasnât kind and honest. Earlier, it was still bemoaning the state of the universe, yet in the end, it behaved like this, making one go crazy, feeling like they werenât facing the same tortoise and medicine.
âYouâre thinking too much. Why would I do senseless things?â The white tortoise remained calm, but it still raised its butt.
âYouâŠâ
With a ba da sound, it laid an egg that was extremely small. It was only the size of a pigeon egg, entering the jade container.
âThis is⊠medicinal pill, can also be considered a Tortoise Pill, something that is comparable to two drops of long life liquid,â said the white tortoise.
Shi Haoâs expression was still unpleasant. This damn tortoise truly needed a spanking!
âSigh, Iâm being misunderstood. Since that is the case, Iâll compensate dao friend with a bit of Immortal Gold,â the white tortoise said with a sigh.
A shocking scene appeared behind All Life Earth. Chaotic energy scattered, unexpectedly revealing a pond. It wasnât that large, barely able to fit a few people.
âThatâs⊠Unaging[1] Spring!â Shi Hao was shocked.
He had previously seen this type of spring. Back then, he obtained five drops from the lower realmâs Hundred Shattered Mountains. The Divine Striking Stone also appeared back then.
Every drop of Unaging Spring could save one life, its value unimaginable.
âI cannot gift this spring to dao friend, I still need it. In addition, I need this medicine garden as well,â said the white tortoise. It pointed towards the bottom of the spring. There was a chain there.
âThis is an Immortal Gold Chain. If dao friend can sever it, then it is yours,â said the white tortoise.
âWhat kind of trick are you playing? Thatâs Immortal Gold, who can cut it?â The Divine Striking Stone cried out.
âThis dao friendâs sword core should be able to do it,â said the white tortoise.
Shi Hao revealed a strange expression. It seems like when the void split apart during his battle against Divine Dark Child and the others, this old tortoise saw the sword in his hands.
âAsking me to sever this Immortal Gold Chain, donât tell me that you are scheming something, right?â Shi Hao said.
âSigh, I was seen through by dao friend. Indeed, this is the main reason as to why I asked you to come over to have a chat.â The old tortoise admitted calmly, no longer beating around the bush.
Shi Hao didnât say anything. If he did this, will there be any dangers?
âDao friend, I always have this feeling that your sword is a bit strange, but I cannot think of why that is the case. Sigh, losing some old memories truly is quite the pitiful thing,â the old tortoise said.
Shi Haoâs mind was shaken. Could it be that this stalk of medicine had previously seen the Everlasting Immortal Sword?
This sword core⊠wasnât it excavated from a stone material? It was something from this great era.
âThe divine chain in the Undying Spring contains Radiant Platinum. It might be useful for that sword of yours,â said the old tortoise.
Shi Haoâs mind was moved. He didnât try to cut it, instead placing the lightless sword on top of the precious chain. Something strange happened.
The sword core shone on its own, becoming incomparably resplendent. A humanoid creature appeared on the sword. White immortal mists pervaded the air, accompanied by seven-colored specks of light.
En?!
The precious chain in the Unaging Spring revealed streak after streak of white light as it entered the sword core, and then it condensed into the white immortal mists coiling around that humanoid creature, making it appear more real. Hazy mists wafted out, creating a white expanse.
Shi Hao wasnât the only one that gasped, even the Divine Striking Stone was stupefied.
This sword was too strange. Last time, it absorbed the essence of Fallen Divine Childâs Seven-colored Immortal Gold, making the ascension light on the sword body develop a multicolored tint.
Now, it absorbed the essence of Radiant Platinum, turning into white-colored immortal energy.
âThis sword coreâŠâ The white tortoiseâs expression changed as well.
Meanwhile, the snow clothed woman on its back spoke for the first time. âIt is a bit strange, but⊠why is there no impression?â Her voice was pleasant to listen to like sounds of nature.
âLetâs not worry about so much. Dao brother helped me cut the Radiant Immortal Chain, so I will gift you a great natural luck!â The white tortoise said.
âWhat natural luck?â
âI saw that you previously activated ten thousand remnant flames, burned an ancient corpseâŠâ
When he heard about all of this, Shi Haoâs mind trembled. This fella had arrived a long time ago and witnessed his battle against Divine Dark Child.
âIf my suspicions arenât wrong, you wish to use the heavenâs ten thousand dao to burn the body and cultivate a second strand of immortal energy. This path is too difficult! There was someone who tried to do this in Immortal Ancient Great Era, that person shocking the world under the heavens, known as Little Immortal King. However, in the end, he was still burned to death,â said the white tortoise. It told him that this path was too tyrannical and was impossible to succeed on.
However, it said that there might be a way to remedy the situation.
âWhat kind of remedy?â Shi Hao asked.
âI can send you into the Human Immortal Palace. If you enter, your natural luck will be great!â said the white tortoise.
1. I used to call everything immortal because that is what the chinese character means, but since the author likes to use different forms of the word and treat them as different names, I will start using different terms as well. A few examples include unaging, undecaying, undying
