Chapter 1083: 《Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art》(First update, seeking votes)

Once the Original Light was fully absorbed, the Nujiang Great King's eyes rolled back, and it lost all signs of life.

Within these memories, it naturally contained the truth as to why the Nujiang Great King flooded Tianfang City; it was not because someone in Tianfang City had offended the Nujiang Great King, but because someone had been pulling strings from behind the scenes.

"So that's how it is!"

After finishing the memories regarding this aspect, Li Zhangsheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he could not help but feel a headache coming on.

Over a month ago, the Nujiang Great King had met with a Demon Saint-rank flood dragon that was a size smaller; Li Zhangsheng immediately recognized this as the flood dragon belonging to the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong.

Dou Cangqiong naturally did not come in person, otherwise he would have been instantly detected by Zhao Yuanqing, so he had sent this flood dragon, along with an envoy of the Profound Emperor.

The reason the Nujiang Great King flooded Tianfang City was nothing more than the Profound Emperor's envoy offering too much, allowing it to see the possibility of advancing further.

The Profound Emperor's envoy had given the Nujiang Great King a special technique called the "Ashura Xuanzhong Lianxue Pian"; as long as it killed a sufficient number of humans and circulated the technique to absorb a massive amount of blood, it could increase its probability of breaking through.

The memories of the Hundred Victories King happened to contain a record of this special technique, and judging from the Nujiang Great King's memories, the Profound Emperor's envoy had not told the Nujiang Great King about the side effects of the "Ashura Xuanzhong Lianxue Pian," otherwise the Nujiang Great King likely would not have agreed.

The effects of the "Ashura Xuanzhong Lianxue Pian" were very good and very powerful, but its side effects were directly proportional to its effects; regardless of whether the breakthrough was successful, the more blood absorbed, the more the mind would be negatively affected. When the negative influence reached a certain point, the soul would be banished, and in the end, only the shell and instincts would remain.

In other words, if the Nujiang Great King continued to practice the "Ashura Xuanzhong Lianxue Pian," even if Li Zhangsheng did not make a move, it would eventually head toward destruction.

Besides these, Li Zhangsheng also roughly checked those memory fragments and discovered that the Nujiang Great King had clearly held something back while answering, and had not laid out the information about those Ruins completely, especially the key points.

If he did not know this key point, Li Zhangsheng feared he would waste a lot of time for nothing.

At this moment, the Demon Pets that had been pursuing the four Demon King-rank Spirit Beasts finally returned to the team.

Of these four Demon King-rank Spirit Beasts, three were already dead, and the only one still alive was an eight-armed Naga; it was no wonder the sub-ancestral black dragon had chosen to take it captive.

As for that Turtle Chancellor, it had already crawled out of its shell and was standing obediently to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Only then did the Turtle Chancellor say softly, "Great King, this little turtle possesses a special technique for extending life, and is willing to offer it to the Great King."

Upon hearing it was a technique for extending life, Li Zhangsheng could not help but reveal an interested look: "I am willing to hear the details!"

The Turtle Chancellor licked its face and said flatteringly: "This little turtle's technique is called the 'Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art'; as long as one finds a North Sea Black Turtle or a Spirit Beast possessing the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline, places the person inside its body, and holds Rebirth Grass in their mouth, they can extend their life. The higher the concentration of the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline, the more longevity is extended; if it is a North Sea Black Turtle, it can even extend life by fifty years."

The North Sea Black Turtle is also known as the North Sea Black Turtle, a true Divine Beast; its greatest characteristic is its massive size, and it is also one of the largest Divine Beasts. Legend has it that the North Sea Black Turtle can support the heavens, which shows just how large its size is.

Although increasing one's lifespan by fifty years was very tempting, the prerequisite was having the corpse of a North Sea Black Turtle; fortunately, it could be replaced by a Spirit Beast possessing the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline, though the effect would certainly be far inferior to a North Sea Black Turtle.

Besides this, the "Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art" also had limitations; every creature could only use it once in their lifetime, and it would be ineffective thereafter.

Additionally, Rebirth Grass was an extremely rare High-level Spiritual Root, though Li Zhangsheng happened to have one in his possession.

Rebirth Grass: If a pregnant Spirit Beast is fed Rebirth Grass, it is possible to improve the quality of the embryo, and at the very least, it will not show signs of congenital deficiency.

Li Zhangsheng had not expected that Rebirth Grass could be used this way, but judging from the technique of the "Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art," this was nothing more than letting a creature enter the body of a North Sea Black Turtle and using the Rebirth Grass to turn into an embryo, thereby improving their constitution, and then using the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline to extend their lifespan.

Even if it could only be used once, the cost-effectiveness of the "Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art" was very high, and it undoubtedly possessed astonishing value.

However, the conditions for operating the technique were also very harsh; the Rebirth Grass alone was not easy to find.

As for Spirit Beasts possessing the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline, their numbers were bound to be extremely few; in all this time, Li Zhangsheng had seen at most two, and they only had a Pure Grade bloodline concentration at best.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng squinted his eyes and sized up the Turtle Chancellor, saying, "Don't you possess the North Sea Black Turtle bloodline!"

The Turtle Chancellor was instantly dumbfounded; it suddenly felt that it was so stupid, but it still forced a smile and said, "The Great King jokes; this little turtle only has a Pure Grade North Sea Black Turtle bloodline, and it cannot extend much longevity at all."

Li Zhangsheng could not help but shake his head and laugh, "It's not like there is no way to improve bloodline concentration; you can completely use Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to improve it."

"Great King, spare my life! Please, in light of this little turtle taking the initiative to offer the 'Mysterious Turtle Quiet Fetus Wonderful Transformation Art,' please spare this one."

The Turtle Chancellor trembled as it lay on the ground, kowtowing like a pestle pounding garlic.

"Granted!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand; this Turtle Chancellor was a bit stupid, but in view of its tactfulness, he was still willing to spare its life.

Additionally, among the Nujiang Great King's dependents were quite a few humanoid Water Clan members, and Li Zhangsheng prepared to let the Turtle Chancellor manage them on his behalf.

Among these humanoid Water Clan members, the Merfolk, Mermen, and Nagas were the majority.

Merfolk are skilled at weaving and are clever and dexterous; they can be cultivated into Spirit Planters to tend to the aquatic spiritual plants.

Most Nagas are two-armed Nagas; the twelve-armed Naga bloodline is extremely sparse, but there were still nearly ten four-armed and six-armed Nagas, and coupled with the captured eight-armed Naga, they could be kept for blood extraction and could also do some manual labor.

As for the most numerous Mermen, they are ugly in appearance, stupid in the head, and have low strength; their only advantage is that they reproduce extremely quickly, but they seem to have no value to be subdued.

Wangjiang leads directly to the South Sea, and this place is close to the river mouth, so he figured they were all abducted by the Nujiang Great King from the South Sea.

Li Zhangsheng decided to abandon the Mermen and take the Naga and Merfolk tribes into his Secret Realm; the numbers of the two tribes were not large, barely reaching three digits in total.

As for that Demon King-rank eight-armed Naga, after the Turtle Chancellor stated the pros and cons, it had no choice but to choose to submit.

Li Zhangsheng put away the corpses of the Nujiang Great King and the three Demon King-rank Spirit Beasts, and he did obtain a few Top-Grade Treasures, though it was a pity they were of no use to him.

The Nujiang Great King did not carry any spatial items on its person; Li Zhangsheng learned from its memories that its collection was entirely concentrated in the Sinking River Palace.

Li Zhangsheng stepped into the Sinking River Palace and soon found the Nujiang Great King's treasure storage location.
