Chapter 868 The Tortoise Named Cang Hai, Comprehending the Establishing Dao Realm
Xu Yan looked ahead at a desolate island with an expression of amazement on his face.
The island was moving slowly.
It seemed like a floating island, but it was completely barren without a single grass or tree.
The island was not small with a diameter of more than ten miles, floating and moving slowly on the sea.
The Azure Sea, with its myriad islands, refers to islands where the Human Clan martial arts forces reside, not that the Azure Sea Sphere has only ten thousand islands.
In the vast sea of the Azure Sea Sphere, no one knows exactly how many islands there are.
An island of ten miles in diameter is considered insignificant in the Azure Sea Sphere, just a small island that is easily overlooked.
What caught Xu Yan's attention was not the island itself, nor the fact that it moved, but that this island was, in fact, not a real island at all.
It was actually a huge black turtle in disguise.
Even though the giant turtle tried its best to conceal its aura and blend into the sea, disguising itself as an island, it still couldn't deceive Xu Yan.
"It's not a native turtle!"
Xu Yan immediately became interested.
The aura on this giant turtle was clearly not of a Divine Realm Spirit Beast or an Azure Sea Sphere sea creature, but a being from beyond this Domain.
He thought of some rumors about the Heavenly Grotto in the Azure Sea Sphere; creatures had escaped from the Heavenly Grotto and lurked in the vast sea. Every time the Immortal Heavenly Venerable patrolled the entire sphere, he would discover some hidden outsiders.
With the giant turtle's disguise, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable would absolutely not be able to detect it!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"This turtle is interesting, I wonder if it hides foreign artifacts!"
Xu Yan's eyes brightened.
He was quite interested in artifacts from beyond the sky.
After all, the Seven Wonders Divine Flower appeared to be a foreign artifact, and the Yu Zhu in his hand was also a treasure from beyond the sky.
The Seductive Witch was an entity from outside this Domain; naturally, her treasures couldn't be from within the Taicang Domain.
Thinking this, Xu Yan retracted his Flying Boat and soared into the sky, flying towards the giant turtle.
As soon as Xu Yan revealed himself, the originally slowly-moving giant turtle suddenly stopped moving.
Thud!
Xu Yan landed on the back of the giant turtle, causing the mud and rocks that camouflaged it as an island to burst and fly away, revealing a patch of dark black shell.
Thud, thud, thud!
Xu Yan lifted his foot and stomped on the shell, making a thudding sound, and even when he stepped down, a black halo would ripple out.
"Hey, this island is really strange!"
Xu Yan kept stomping while pretending to talk to himself.
The mud and rocks continued to fly off, exposing an ever-widening section of the turtle's back, the dark black shell seemingly containing some kind of profound pattern, thick and solid, absolutely impenetrable.
"This shell has such strong defenses!"
Xu Yan was secretly astonished.
His footsteps seemed casual, but the force of each could have easily trampled an ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerable to death, yet the turtle shell was completely unscathed and unaffected.
Let alone cracks, there wasn't even much vibration felt in the entire shell.
Boom!
The sea water surged, and a turtle head popped out from beneath the water, turning back to look at Xu Yan on its back, "Stop stomping, if you keep it up, I'm going to die!"
This young man, clearly aware of its presence, was still putting on an act!
The giant turtle felt somewhat helpless; it had been careless not to notice someone so close, or else it would not have been exposed.
Xu Yan drew his sword and said, "Stomping definitely won't kill you, but I want to try if a sword can break your shell!"
"Young man, just say what you want directly. I really can't bear this kind of torment, and I have no ill will or hostility here, I've never hurt a person!"
The giant turtle said with a touch of headache.
"Since you're so straightforward, old Turtle Brother, then I won't be shy!"
Xu Yan said with a smile.
Meanwhile, he sized up the giant turtle, its strength in the Immortal Realm, and yet its true strength was probably stronger than that of an ordinary perfect Immortal Realm.
In fact, Xu Yan suspected that no Immortal Realm being could breach its defenses.
On the head of the giant turtle, there was a slab of blue scales with delicate lines resembling waves, and at a glance, it was as if one could see waves surging.
Xu Yan's intuition told him that this giant turtle was no ordinary creature.
"Lately, my martial arts cultivation has been difficult, and I've hit a bottleneck in my understanding. I'm a bit tight on treasures right now; what do you say, Turtle Brother?"
Xu Yan said cheerfully.
The giant turtle, feeling very helpless, spat out a Storage Bag and said, "Young friend, take these things. This is my entire collection."
Xu Yan reached out to catch the Storage Bag in his palm, looked inside, and as he put it away, he said, "Old Turtle Brother, are you trying to brush off a beggar? Such a small collection of goods, and they're all common treasures in the Divine Realm, just gathered in the Azure Sea Sphere, which originally belong to the Divine Realm.
"You, an outsider, are occupying the treasures of the Divine Realm, which is already improper, and you dare to think you can brush off Xu Yan with these?"
Sword Intent surged around him, and instantly, giant swords rose from the sea waves, encircling the area, with even more giant swords suspended in midair, completely enveloping the giant turtle within.
The intent of desolate killing and slaughter churned between heaven and earth.
The giant turtle raised its head to look at the giant swords formed by the sea waves, its eyes revealing a look of shock.
"Young friend, let's talk this over nicely, just tell me, what do you want?"
The giant turtle said with a sigh.
"Let's talk, let's talk. I, Xu Yan, have quite an interest in treasures from beyond, I wonder what Turtle Brother..."
Xu Yan said with a grin.
The giant turtle fell silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Young friend, I have an item that I can give you, but I need to make a trade with you. How about it?"
Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, "That depends on whether your item is worth it."
