Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 618 - 40: The Restlessness of the Endless Turtle_2

However, Tang Xian did not take action, as this group of dull ducks were charmingly silly, and inherently very timid, scuttling away at the slightest sign of trouble. In the future, he could consider leading them into Baichuan City.

Wandering through the Myriad Beasts Realm, Tang Xian had gained a deeper appreciation for the richness of species in this world, brimming with vitality.

It was as though he was in a world straight out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

On the sixth day, Tang Xian did not continue his journey to the Northwest, but instead, he stayed in the small lakeside lodge of March Marsh, returning to his base in the mining area.

At the same time, he arranged for Yuan Wu to go back to report the status of the travelers, and to exchange portable transportation rifts with Akasi.

He was making steady and cautious progress toward the Northwest.

However, in Bai Mansheng's eyes, Tang Xian seemed to be more like someone enjoying the local delicacies and scenic pleasures along the way, appearing extremely content—she had never seen such a method of cultivation before.

"If Lei Xiao belongs to the Myriad Beasts Court, we might have to confront the Myriad Beasts Court again, right?"

Bai Mansheng looked at Tang Xian, who at that moment, was fishing.

Tang Xian nodded and said,

"The Myriad Beasts Court has always been aware of our whereabouts, and although I do not believe anyone can foresee the future, this world indeed contains some entities time cannot conquer. So, our movements might truly be sensed by the other party through some special means"

The sensations from the divine realm had left Tang Xian filled with lingering fear. The time dimensions of the two worlds were not the same, an experience he found quite magical.

Tang Xian felt that the Endless Turtle was just such an entity.

"Foreseeing the future, are you talking about the Endless Turtle?" At the mention of the Endless Turtle, Bai Mansheng still had some

"Yes, if the Myriad Beasts Court sends the Judgment Chief after me again, that would be good for me, especially with you here. Every Judgment Chief of the court is very powerful and possesses a great deal of information."

Bai Mansheng felt quite heartened by his remark, especially with you here, but she quickly changed the subject:

"I am only interested in that Endless Turtle; its prophecies are always precise."

Tang Xian furrowed his brow, his fishing rod trembling slightly.

"I know what you want to say, but we've already discussed this topic—unless that turtle predicts it will be turned into soup, I won't believe that any creature in this world can know the future. Neither you nor Qing JiuYu will fight over any man."

Bai Mansheng did not want to listen to Tang Xian's scientific explanations and asked,

"So, who do you think that man is?"

Tang Xian fell silent, thinking to himself why these women couldn't broaden their horizons a bit.

However, the words 'that man' revealed both gender and species. After some thought, Tang Xian considered that if the prophecy were to come true, it would likely be about him.

But it might not necessarily be about a man and a woman; it could be on another level entirely.

He shook his head and said,

"Wait until I eat the Endless Turtle and gain its power, then I'll divine it for you and you'll know."

Bai Mansheng laughed out loud, finding the joke Tang Xian had made unexpectedly amusing.

She found it strange that Tang Xian was always fixated on that Endless Turtle.

Tang Xian himself also felt it was a bit odd.

Perhaps turtle soup was indeed very nourishing?

...

...

Sanctum Mountain.

Sanctum Mountain was a floating mountain. Its location was always changing.

But the creatures within the mountain, whether it be the long-eared ancient monkey or the court's Judgment Chief, did not feel any jolt.

Sanctum Mountain itself seemed like a huge flying creature.

However, this theory was unchecked, as the long-eared ancient monkeys did not dare delve into research to confirm it.

Because deep within the court, there lived a judge whose majesty was terrifying.

The Endless Turtle had been suffering from insomnia lately. As the grand elder of Sanctum Mountain, the Endless Turtle had been in existence since the establishment of the Myriad Beasts Court.

It was of great age, and though divine turtles live long, they too have their limits.

Probably because its life span was coming to an end, the Endless Turtle was often silently lost in thought beneath the mountain spring, lamenting that it did not have many centuries left to live.

When the mysterious bird came to the Endless Turtle's side, it was still lost in thought.

Only when it let out a clear, melodious bird call did it awaken the Endless Turtle.

[You, have, arrived.]

The long-eared ancient monkey beside it simply nodded because the Endless Turtle spoke so slowly. It preferred to wait until the Endless Turtle had gathered more words before translating.

"You, are, about, to, encounter, a, disaster, of, blood, and, light."

The ancient ape with long ears was startled. Lord Xuan Bird was an immortal being, so how could there possibly be any disaster of blood and light waiting for him? No creature in this world could kill Lord Xuan Bird.

Nevertheless, it translated truthfully. Upon hearing this, Xuan Bird, puzzled, said,

"Old and confused? I'm right here on the sacred mountain, what kind of disaster of blood and light could there be?"

"Greedy, Wolf, Star, reappears...only when..."

This statement was long, and Endless Turtle spoke so slowly it took about a minute to finish.

The ancient ape with long ears summarized that the Greedy Wolf Star in the sky had originally vanished, but suddenly it had reappeared again. Such a celestial phenomenon had only occurred when Qiongqi was born.

Xuan Bird shook its head and said,

"You really are old and muddled. How long has Qiongqi been dead? Its kin are few and far between, and those existing now are all degenerate species. The source of the plague has been remedied. But Ash Dragon, Shiling Beast, Qiongqi are all extremely rare species. Their kin are hard to find, and even if found, it is unpredictable when they would evolve to their peak."

After listening, Endless Turtle shook its head slowly and said,

"Greedy, Wolf, the, star, of, calamity, arises, peace, in, the, Myriad Beasts Realm, shall, be, hard, to, find."

Hearing this, Xuan Bird fell into a slight silence. It remembered that not long after Qiongqi's appearance, the Myriad Beasts Realm was indeed thrown into turmoil.

Countless beasts were devoured. Moreover, Qiongqi did not care about these beasts' allegiances, rampaging and causing trouble everywhere.

Unfortunately, after devouring its prey, Qiongqi was likely to acquire their abilities and even their memories. It was like that supreme existence that united the Myriad Beasts Realm hundreds of years ago.

Qiongqi grew stronger and stronger. So powerful that even the court felt Qiongqi was out of control.

After both Shiling Beast and the plague source of the Ash Dragon died, they thought the Azure Dragon would be extremely troublesome but definitely not a match for Qiongqi, so they deployed this uncontrollable weapon from the court.

Yet, this time, it was Qiongqi that got hunted.

Endless Turtle's prophecies had never been wrong before. Xuan Bird said,

"Could it be there is a new Qiongqi?"

"No, not, Qiongqi."

Time passed, and after quite a while, Endless Turtle finally finished speaking of its vision in its slow, drawn-out way.

In its estimation, this would be an existence even more troublesome than Qiongqi.

But this entity was still in a growth stage and had not yet become an unstoppable being.

Understanding Endless Turtle's meaning and what it signified, Xuan Bird said,

"Qiongqi has already been released by the Judgment Chief. If you can divine their location, I will send Qiongqi to kill it."

Endless Turtle no longer shook its head, only said,

"You, must, be, careful."

Xuan Bird took note of Endless Turtle's words before leaving. It still felt that Endless Turtle was somewhat senile, often making miscalculations.

If it could have predicted that Qiongqi would die, the court would probably not have deployed it.

This oracle of the Myriad Beasts Court appeared to be losing its touch as time passed.

And if there really was a creature as formidable as Qiongqi in the world, it wouldn't have remained unknown and unheard of.

Not only did Xuan Bird consider Endless Turtle to be confused.

Endless Turtle itself also felt somewhat muddled.

It was old, very old.

Endless Turtle, who had always prophesied for others, was unable to foresee its own fate.

Yet occasionally, it would have dreams related to itself, which would later come true.

When it last dreamed, Endless Turtle had already forgotten.

But last night, it had a strange dream.

The feeling in the dream... was very hot. The surrounding water enveloped its entire body, as if it had been boiled.

But it did not know what this dream signified.

Then it saw the Greedy Wolf Star appear. This time the star's position had shifted even further than when Qiongqi was born, suggesting that an extremely terrifying creature was about to emerge.

It even felt that it had not managed to convey the full meaning of this calamity, so much so that Xuan Bird seemed not to take it seriously.

The Myriad Beasts Court that had ruled the realm for hundreds of years might be facing the most terrifying catastrophe in its history.
