From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 183 - 182: Mystic Turtle Transcends Tribulation

Boom!!

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the Third-rank warship of the Shuihua Sword Sect suddenly burst into brilliant light.

Endless array patterns intertwined and swept across, releasing incandescent orbs of Spiritual Power that smashed out with imposing power.

The Second-rank Spirit Boat of the Li Family did likewise, the array patterns inscribed on the hull flickering with rosy light, like a cannon firing a thick beam of energy.

Mana rained down from the sky like a shower, tumultuously falling on the Island Protection Array of the Situ Family, immediately causing a chaotic fluctuation of Spiritual Energy on the surface of the Spirit Shield.

"Ao!!"

As the ripples of Spirit Light spread, accompanied by a deep roar, the Array that enveloped the entire Taiyuan Islands finally fully materialized in front of everyone.

One could see the heavens showering starlight, brilliant like a golden rain, condensing a majestic and roaring Mystic Turtle, its aura heavy as a mountain.

The Third-rank Star Mystic Turtle Array!

The Turtle Spirit roared, its body as large as mountains, swallowing starlight and earth energy, protecting all the islands within it.

On the vast shell, stars congregated, forming complex and ancient star charts, successfully fending off the many attacks, unshakeable.

"Again!!"

The Sect Master of the Sword Sect remained composed, still ordering all the Spiritual Boats and Tower Ships to fully activate their Arrays to attack.

In an instant, the sky was filled with pillars of Spiritual Power like fireworks, a dazzling display of colors, setting off waves of Mana tide.

Repeated indiscriminate blanket attacks, these were all precious Spirit Stones being expended, causing onlookers to feel intense heartache.

Finally, the Island Protection Array of the Situ Family started to falter, the starlight Turtle Spirit roared, with its array patterns flickering on and off.

"Fellow Daoist... must you push so relentlessly?"

With a long sigh, the Family Head of the Situ Family, Situ Changqing, finally appeared, holding an Array Plate in his hands, with layers of starlight draped over him like glorious Armor.

"You are indeed not in seclusion!"

The Sect Master of the Sword Sect sneered coldly, looking at the gloomy clouds of the Golden Core Tribulation over the island, his gaze burning with even more eagerness.

Li Quanqing also understood at this moment.

He looked towards the center of the Taiyuan Island, where amidst the rolling tide of Spiritual Energy, no longer concealing, a tremendous surge of Demon Energy pierced the sky.

It turned out that the one breaking through to Golden Core was not the rumored Clan Leader of the Situ Family, but the Island Guardian Spirit Beast, the Taiyuan Mystic Turtle!

"Third-rank Demon Core..."

Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun exchanged glances, both clearly seeing the expressions in each other’s eyes.

The Shuihua Sword Sect had long coveted this Third-rank Demon Core, hoping to create a Core Formation Cultivator and continue the Sect’s legacy for hundreds of years.

After all, the recent generations of disciples from the Shuihua Sword Sect have been too poor, having lost several Golden Core seeds, finding it difficult to break through the Golden Core bottleneck, and meeting their end.

They could only resort to this alternative, using a Water Attribute Third-rank Demon Core to create a False Core Cultivator, who would also possess the lifespan and combat power of an early-stage Golden Core.

"Sword Sect, you attack my Situ Family so brazenly, have you forgotten the Star Alliance Contract from a thousand years ago, unafraid of being held accountable by the Nascent Soul Sect?"

The lineage of the Situ Family had always been adept in Array Dao, and Situ Changqing was a third-rank Array Master.

He held the Array Plate in his hands, manipulating the everchanging Array Patterns with his fingers as Spiritual Energy circulated. Leveraging the power of the array that sealed the void, he stabilized the entire Star Mystic Turtle Array once again.

Situ Changqing, with his hair and beard floating, glared furiously and commanded someone to take out an ancient Contract Jade Book, flickering with starlight, its aura exceedingly ancient and distant.

This was a type of contract document issued by the Star Sect, which offered protection to the signing parties by the Nascent Soul Sect, with violators naturally incurring due punishment.

A thousand years ago, a Golden Core Clan Leader from the Situ Family originated from the Star Sect, and before his demise, he meticulously negotiated and signed this Contract Jade Book with the Shuihua Sword Sect.

Only then did the Situ Family have the audacity and the confidence to act so arrogantly.

The Sect Master of the Sword Sect, looking at the Star Alliance Contract, had an unchanged expression, but coldly spoke out: "The Situ Family conspired with Great Demons, betraying the Human Clan; the evidence is conclusive. Everyone is justified in condemning them, and even Nascent Soul True Monarchs cannot dispute this fact."

"Absurd! Defamation! Ridiculous!"

Situ Changqing was so angry that his chest heaved, his face ashen. Although his family was arrogant, they were far from foolish.

There was no way they had committed such treasonous collusion with the enemy!

Li Quanqing watched this scene, also feeling some hesitation in his heart.

Was it really the Situ Family behind the scenes who had snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Li Family?

And the previous Monster Tide battle, the array that the Shuihua Sword Sect had set up in the ruins of the Whale Emperor Sect, was so easily broken by the Demon Clan; could it be a self-directed play?

The conspiracy ran deep and was hard to thoroughly investigate!

"Further discussion is useless. You traitors, for the sake of the Taiyuan Turtle’s breakthrough to Third Rank, have already betrayed your kin, compromising to numerous Great Demons in the outer sea, seeking resources for breakthroughs. Did you really think we were unaware?"

"The so-called Situ Family is nothing but puppets and lackeys controlled by the Taiyuan Turtle Spirit!"

The Sword Sect’s Sect Master spoke with a righteous and forceful tone: "I request the intervention of True Masters to slay the evil turtle, and to vindicate the Situ Family’s fellow clansmen and daoist allies with a bright and clear heaven and earth!"

"We call upon the True Masters to take action!"

On the entire Third-rank warship, the cultivators of the Sword Sect shouted in unison, their momentum raging, their voices shaking the Heavenly Vault!

Li Quanqing also slightly lowered his head, daring only to take furtive glances with the corners of his eyes.

No one expected that Shuihua True Master, with his limited lifespan, would personally descend to the battlefield to engage in combat.

The extremely aged Shuihua True Master stepped out from the warship, Five Elements Sword Qi swirling behind him, vaguely forming a circle of five-colored radiance flickering around him.

"I aim only to slay the wicked leader and not to involve others. If the cultivators of the Situ Family are sensible and kill the evil Mystic Turtle themselves, offering its Demon Core, I can spare the Situ Family a path to survival."

Shuihua True Master looked around as if he could see the huge creature below the cataclysm, preparing for its breakthrough.

"You want us to kill Turtle Ancestor ourselves? In your dreams!"

Situ Changqing strenuously operated the Starlight Formation, with a solemn look in his eyes: "Does the True Master truly wish to have a fight to the death with my Situ Family?"

"A small fish that could be easily crushed by hand, what talk is there of breaking the net?"

Shuihua True Master couldn’t help but laugh.

He was no ordinary Golden Core True Master; having broken through to the mid-stage over a century ago, he had even created his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Five Elements Sword, possessing astonishing combat power.

Originally, he was not willing to fall out with the Situ Family, setting his sights on the two Golden Core Demons within the monster tide.

However, both the Golden Crowned Thunder Peng and the Earth Flame Flood Dragon, with their extraordinarily noble bloodlines, had managed to escape from him and the Yanyue Sect’s pursuit, their whereabouts unknown.

In desperation, they could only choose this Water Attribute Taiyuan Mystic Turtle as their target.

To ensure the turtle demon could successfully break through to the Third Rank, the Shuihua Sword Sect had spared no expense, secretly transferring various resources, even giving the Third Rank Spirit Veins to the Situ Family.

This led to the situation today.

Situ Changqing’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a deep voice, "Our clan has an Earth Spirit Root genius cultivator, who has been with a Nascent Soul Sect for decades, already achieved Foundation Establishment, and has hopes for Golden Core. Aren’t you afraid of the disaster of the sect’s future destruction?"

Shuihua True Master frowned slightly, "Which sect is it? Why have I never heard of it?"

Situ Changqing fell silent for a moment before finally uttering a name, "Blood Sea Sect."

"The so-called Nascent Soul doors, it turns out to be a demon of the Demon Path, utterly ludicrous!"

Shuihua True Master laughed coldly, instantly putting his mind at ease.

Although the relationship between the Righteous and Demon Paths has eased somewhat today, the Star Sect is a well-known Righteous Sect, just as incompatible with the Demon Sect as water is with fire.

Situ Changqing also sighed in his heart, if this genius was not the extremely rare Blood Spirit Root, he would have been inducted into the Star Sect.

What a pity, what a lament.

Boom thunderous!

Above Taiyuan Island, dark clouds tumbled, and a bolt of thunder tribulation light suddenly descended, piercing through layers of arrays with a fierce thunderous blaze.

The gigantic body of the Taiyuan Mystic Turtle finally revealed itself; its demon energy condensed like substance, like rolling demon clouds scattering in all directions, its head held high looking up to the sky, its eyes filled with longing.

It roared loudly, actively flying towards the Heavenly Tribulation, utterly unafraid of such thunderous might, its body bathed in the light of thunder, faint traces of fresh blood flowing.

Everyone knew that this was the final stage of the breakthrough.

Once the nine thunder tribulations pass, it would mean the completion of the Golden Core and the attainment of the Tao!

Situ Changqing’s repressed gaze in his eyes instantly relaxed, as long as the Turtle Ancestor broke through to the Golden Core, they could turn the tide of defeat into victory!

But this was also the most dangerous moment, the Heavenly Tribulation that destroyed the void also affected the entire Island Protection Array.

"Get ready to move, intercept all Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Situ Family, don’t let a single one escape!"

Duan Dongyang suddenly spoke, with a confident demeanor.

Li Quanqing immediately turned his head, just about to ask something when he heard a series of explosive noises.

Deep within the Taiyuan Islands’ ley lines, a series of deeply hidden pearls suddenly erupted, shaking the turbid air of the Spirit Veins, like an earth dragon turning over, causing the entire island to nearly split apart.

The commotion was so great that it even overshadowed the sound of the Heavenly Tribulation!

"Earth-shattering Pearls! When were they buried?!"

When Situ Changqing saw the Island Protection Array nearly destroyed, he became enraged, his eyes turning bloodshot with veins nearly bursting.

Shuihua True Master smiled faintly and did not speak, instead, he took out a Third-rank Breaking Formation Talisman and gently dropped it.

Although the Situ Family’s relocation was only a gesture, the commotion was significant, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators left Taiyuan Island, creating a gap for the Sword Sect to plant their undercurrents.

Otherwise, how could they know every move of the Situ Family like the back of their hand?

The moment the Third-rank Breaking Formation Talisman dropped, it was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, with a cracking sound.

The Situ Family’s Island Protection Array could no longer hold, breaking apart, revealing the chaotic Taiyuan Islands below.

"All clan members, meet the enemy head-on, buy time for the Turtle Ancestor!"

Situ Changqing roared furiously, seemingly deranged, donning a layer of Star Armor himself, with a resolve to die, charging toward the Golden Core True Master.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Shuihua True Master’s eyes were indifferent, and glancing at the still unbroken Taiyuan Mystic Turtle, he wasn’t in a hurry to kill the demon and take its core.

For a moment, all of the Situ Family’s cultivators swarmed out, some to fight and some to flee, with magic spirit light everywhere in the sky.

"Fellow Daoists, please go ahead!"

Duan Dongyang’s gaze fell on the two from the Li Family.

Of course, he knew that this battlefield was the most dangerous.

Therefore, when his unknowing disciple, Li Quangeng, volunteered to go to the Whale Emperor Island battlefield, he did not refuse but rather to protect his disciple’s safety.

"Quanqing, who do you want to kill?"

Li Kunlun spoke, leaving the decision to him.

Li Quanqing’s gaze swept around; there were quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators rushing out from Taiyuan Island, totaling six.

However, on the Sword Sect’s side, their numbers were three to four times higher, posing no great danger.

"I want to kill that Taiyuan Mystic Turtle!"

Li Quanqing’s eyes suddenly brightened as he spotted the second Foundation Establishment turtle demon emerging from the Situ Family, also roaring and flying out, effectively their seventh Foundation Establishment combat power.

Such high-grade Great Demon blood and flesh, made into bait, would be enough to feed the creatures in the pond for a very long time.

"One Foundation Establishment Demon doesn’t require the action of three Great Cultivators."

Duan Dongyang spoke solemnly, his gaze quickly scanning the battlefield.

He saw that the Shuihua Sword Sect had already intercepted three of the Situ Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, the rest seemed to be left to the various Foundation Establishment families under his command.

"Then I’ll go myself!"

Li Quanqing spoke up, and without waiting for a refusal from either of them, took out the Gui Water Divine Thunder Array and flew out, his body entwined with trails of thunder.

Li Kunlun couldn’t help but join hands with Duan Dongyang to take on another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Situ Family.

Actually, there was also one cultivator from the Yun Family eyeing this mystic turtle, also coveting the precious Great Demon blood and flesh.

"This is my prey!"

Li Quanqing laughed, taking out the Top Grade Spiritual Artifact, Sea Covering Seal, and directly knocked that Foundation Establishment cultivator flying.

Boom thunderous!

Following that, he waved his sleeve, and eight Copper Bean Puppets flew out, infusing mana, waving Array Flags, covering several miles.

One could see blue Gui Water Divine Thunder interweaving, Array Patterns sealing off all directions, enclosing both himself and the Taiyuan Mystic Turtle.

A thunderous domain impervious to outsiders was formed!
