Chapter 272: The Transformation God-level Giant Turtle Returns Pregnant
"I found a seven-colored Other Shore Flower in a ruin in the Fairy City of the Mirage Sea and refined it into my reincarnation clone," Li Xingci said lightly, though a hint of melancholy tinged his voice.
The opportunity he had just obtained was snatched away by his wife’s master.
"A seven-colored Other Shore Flower? You’re pretty lucky, kid."
The seven-colored Other Shore Flower begins to wither the moment it comes into contact with any life force. Even divine senses can’t preserve it, which is why it’s been impossible to keep it intact until now.
If you don’t have the right secret technique when you encounter the seven-colored Other Shore Flower, it’ll just wither away immediately.
Knowing that Li Xingci had used the seven-colored Other Shore Flower to refine his reincarnation clone put Xu Fan’s mind at ease.
"Are you with Su Rantian now?" Xu Fan asked.
"Right now, Su Rantian is being held by her master," Li Xingci replied, his voice tinged with helplessness. There wasn’t much he could do to rescue someone from a respected elder.
"Can you still get in touch with Elder Su?" Xu Fan asked.
"Yes, I can. Tian’er told me not to worry. Her master is about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and he’ll probably agree to our marriage once that happens."
"Ah, it’s all my fault for being so weak. If I were stronger, I’d have taken you to rescue your wife myself," Xu Fan said.
"Don’t worry about it, Master. Things are actually fine now. Thanks to the seven-colored Other Shore Flower, my cultivation is about to break through to the Transformation God stage. I’ll use this time to return to the sect and focus on my training," Li Xingci replied.
"Good," Xu Fan nodded.
After ending the call, Xu Fan looked up at the sky and sighed, "Another disciple is about to reach the Transformation God stage." He thought back to his own advancement to the Nascent Soul stage and let out a deep sigh.
At that moment, in a dark river of the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, a Transformation God-level giant turtle surfaced, followed by twelve Golden Core stage spirit turtles, each a different color.
Xu Fan appeared above the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, waiting for the old turtle’s return.
"It’s been a long time, but you’re finally back," Xu Fan said with a mix of relief and emotion.
Ever since the Transformation God-level giant turtle had taken its offspring out for their inheritance, Xu Fan had felt a void in his life.
Whenever he went fishing on his spiritual boat, he’d find himself missing those little turtles.
A ripple broke the calm surface of the lake, first revealing a small red flower, then a massive wave as the giant turtle’s full body emerged.
Following it, twelve giant turtles with shells as large as basketball courts appeared, their vibrant colors shimmering beautifully in the sunlight.
"My goodness, what happened to you?" Xu Fan exclaimed, staring at the barnacle-covered shell of the Transformation God-level giant turtle.
"Roar~~~"
Upon seeing Xu Fan, the giant turtle let out a deep roar, as if to greet him and announce, "I’m back."
As the giant turtle swam closer, the sight of its barnacle-encrusted shell made Xu Fan’s skin crawl.
Looking at the smooth, pristine shells of the twelve Golden Core stage spirit turtles, Xu Fan could guess what had happened.
The giant turtle nudged its massive head gently against Xu Fan’s hand, clearly in pain.
"I get it. I’ll clean you up now," Xu Fan said soothingly.
As Xu Fan’s hand touched the giant turtle, he could feel its pain reverberating through its very soul.
Seeing the countless barnacles covering the turtle’s shell and imagining the process of removing them one by one, Xu Fan felt an odd sense of excitement building within him.
A fourth-tier precious artifact Spiritual Sword appeared in Xu Fan’s hand. With a swift motion, a beam of sword light flashed, slicing off a Golden Core Stage barnacle from the giant turtle’s shell.
The barnacles on the Transformation God-level giant turtle ranged up to the Nascent Soul Stage, serving as protectors for the smaller barnacles that clung safely to its shell.
Xu Fan landed on the freshly cleared section of the turtle shell and began to survey the barnacles attached to it.
The barnacles at the Foundation Establishment Stage were about the size of an adult, those at the Golden Core Stage were as large as a cart, and the Nascent Soul Stage barnacles were as big as a heavy truck.
Suddenly, countless spiritual attacks surged toward Xu Fan, the barnacles’ method of assault, directly targeting the soul.
He quickly conjured a protective shield to block the barnacles’ soul attacks. Wielding his Spiritual Sword, Xu Fan unleashed beams of sword light without using any magical powers, cutting through the barnacles like a reaper harvesting crops.
Around the Transformation God-level giant turtle, hundreds of Nascent Soul Stage puppets followed Xu Fan, collecting the barnacles, which were considered the most delicious seafood, something he wouldn’t let go to waste.
At that moment, Xu Gang appeared beside the giant turtle and asked, "Master, do you need help?"
Watching Xu Fan effortlessly clear the barnacles like mowing grass, excitement flashed in Xu Gang’s eyes; he wanted to do the same.
"No need, just watch from the side. There will be a place for you to work soon," Xu Fan replied, continuing to slice through the barnacles.
"Truly remarkable, Master! Even the sword light you freely cut out is so captivating," Xu Gang exclaimed, feeling a tingling sensation from the beams of sword light.
Just then, one of the barnacles that Xu Fan had been suppressing shifted its target to Xu Gang.
‘Peep~~’
With a sound like hooves, the phantom of a three-legged golden crow appeared behind Xu Gang, blocking the barnacle’s soul attack.
"This is no soft target," Xu Gang snorted.
The giant turtle shell, which resembled a small island, took Xu Fan an entire afternoon to clear completely.
"Xu Gang," Xu Fan instructed.
"Master, I’m here," Xu Gang replied eagerly, finally getting his turn.
"You are responsible for polishing," Xu Fan pointed at the uneven areas and some ordinary little barnacles.
"Understood!"
Xu Gang quickly summoned a steel brush using magical powers and began to control it with spiritual energy, brushing back and forth on the turtle shell.
Standing atop the giant turtle’s head, Xu Fan entered the giant turtle’s spiritual space with his thoughts.
The barnacles from the Endless Sea were a fascinating species; they not only attached to the bodies of massive sea beasts but also penetrated into their souls, planting seeds within.
This way, even if the outer flesh was removed, they could still be reborn by relying on the seeds hidden within the giant beast’s soul.
In the giant turtle’s spiritual space, Xu Fan manifested a large claw and began to pull out the seeds one by one.
With each seed he removed, Xu Fan felt a sense of purification within his soul.
Before long, Xu Fan had pulled out all the seeds.
Returning his thoughts, he released a ball of spirit fire, burning all the seeds to ashes.
At that moment, Xu Gang had finished polishing the turtle shell, which now shone brilliantly in the sunlight, reflecting dazzling light.
Satisfaction filled Xu Fan as he looked at the newly revitalized Transformation God-level giant turtle and said, "Not bad, not bad~~"
"Roar~~"
The giant turtle let out a soft low rumble, expressing its gratitude to Xu Fan.
"Don’t mention it. You are a spirit beast of Hidden Spirit Island; this is only right," Xu Fan replied with a smile, waving his hand to indicate no need for such formality.
"Aw~~"
The giant turtle let out another low rumble, causing Xu Fan to look strangely at it.
"You’re pregnant again?!" Xu Fan exclaimed with a strange expression.
This child hasn’t even grown up yet; that can’t be good.
"Roar~"
"You were taken by a dragon and got pregnant with its child?!"
