Chapter 504 The True Spirit of the Mystic Tortoise! An Alternative Transformation?
Chapter 504 The True Spirit of the Mystic Tortoise! An Alternative Transformation?
After thinking for a moment, Niu Ba shook his head, dismissing the idea, and muttered to himself:
"That's enough!"
"Now that we have the quota for education, it doesn't matter which of the Five Emperors we assist."
"When the time is right, Ben'er will come looking for me."
Thinking of this, Niu Ba relaxed his brows, and then a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
……
Meanwhile, the Netherworld is located there.
Within that secluded, naturally blessed land, Niu Ben sat cross-legged, still refining and absorbing that drop of Pangu's essence blood.
After sensing the presence of a new human emperor above the human race, Niu Ben slowly opened his eyes.
"Um?"
"The third of the three human emperors is already in the process of being conceived!"
"In that case, the third emperor will be born soon."
Thinking about it, Niu Ben narrowed his eyes slightly and remembered something.
In the previous great war between the Lich and the Demon Clan, both the Demon Emperor Di Jun and the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang of the Witch Clan advanced to the Saint level by refining and absorbing the Saint Crystal.
With their combined attack, Mount Buzhou collapsed, causing the pillar of heaven to break and creating a huge gap in the primordial sky, allowing the waters of the Milky Way to overflow.
Subsequently, the sage Nuwa refined five-colored divine stones and successfully repaired the celestial defect, thus preventing even greater casualties among the prehistoric creatures.
Although the gap in the sky was filled, without a pillar like Mount Buzhou to support it, the primordial sky began to sink, as if heaven and earth were about to merge into one.
Therefore, all the sages of the heavens gathered to discuss how to support the heavens.
During this time, the great sages took action, each using their own methods, in an attempt to hold up the heavens of the primordial world.
Unfortunately, they ultimately failed.
As the sky sank lower and lower, Niu Ben stepped forward and said he could hold up the sinking primordial sky.
After that, Niu Ben returned to Penglai Immortal Island and woke up the Xuan Turtle that was sleeping in the deep sea outside Penglai Immortal Island.
He had made a deal with the Xuan Turtle a long time ago.
Niu Ben will find a way to make the Xuan Turtle truly transform, while the Xuan Turtle will need to help Niu Ben when necessary.
That's why the Xuan Turtle helped Niu Ben seize a strand of Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for achieving sainthood.
As the heavens collapsed, Niu Ben severed the four limbs of the Xuan Turtle, turning them into the four pillars of the primordial world.
In addition, Niu Ben used immense magical power to strike the enormous shell of the Xuan Turtle into the primordial sky, where it merged with the primordial heavens.
With the help of the Xuan Turtle, Niu Ben successfully supported the sinking primordial sky.
"It seems I'll have to trouble Consort Pingxin again!"
Thinking about it, Niu Ben smiled helplessly, and then disappeared from that independent blessed land in a flash.
When Niu Ben appeared, he had already arrived at the deepest part of the Netherworld, inside the Pingxin Hall.
The moment Niu Ben arrived, a spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred within the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure appeared; it was none other than Lady Pingxin, who was in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Your Majesty!"
Upon seeing Pingxin appear, Niu Ben smiled slightly.
Empress Pingxin smiled in response, then asked inquiringly:
"Why are you here?"
"Could it be... that they're planning to send some true spirit into reincarnation again?"
After hearing what Consort Pingxin said, Niu Ben's expression immediately became somewhat embarrassed.
After a slight pause, he replied:
"Nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's reply, Empress Pingxin was taken aback, and a strange light flashed quickly in the depths of her eyes.
She was just saying it casually.
After all, Niu Ben had come to see her more than once before.
She then sent the true spirits of Fuxi and Hongyun into the human race's reincarnation channel, and made their destinies align with those of the three sovereigns of the human race.
"Really?"
After a slight pause, Consort Pingxin asked in surprise.
Niu Ben nodded, then waved his hand lightly, and a true spirit appeared from his palm.
This true spirit is none other than the true spirit of the Heaven-Supporting Black Tortoise.
Before slaying the Xuan Turtle to support the heavens, Niu Ben had already taken its true spirit.
The transformation he promised the Sky-Supporting Black Tortoise was not about the Black Tortoise transforming into its original form.
After all, his body already carried too much karma and was used to support the heavens, so it was impossible for him to take human form with that body.
That's why Niu Ben came up with another idea.
That would allow the true spirit of the Heaven-Supporting Black Tortoise to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn as a human.
In that case, it could be considered an alternative form of transformation.
Moreover, if the true spirit of the Sky-Supporting Black Tortoise could be incarnated in one of the three human emperors, it would greatly enhance the majesty of the Sky-Supporting Black Tortoise.
Seeing Niu Ben take out the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle, Lady Pingxin glanced at him slightly and then said:
"Is this... the true spirit of that heaven-supporting black tortoise?"
The event of the collapse of the ancient world shook the entire primordial world, and Empress Pingxin was no exception.
Niu Ben nodded and hummed softly:
"Your Majesty, I promised Senior Xuan Turtle that if he was willing to give up his body, I would find a way to help him take on a different form."
"Currently, the aura of the third emperor of the human race has begun to solidify above the human race."
"I hope Your Majesty can help me send the true spirit of the Black Tortoise into the human race's cycle of reincarnation, so that he... can become the third of the three emperors of the human race!"
"We beg Your Majesty's permission!"
As he spoke, Niu Ben looked at Consort Pingxin with a pleading expression.
Despite being the lord of the underworld, the true ruler of the entire underworld is still Lady Pingxin.
Seeing the look Niu Ben gave her, Consort Pingxin smiled slightly and replied:
"No need to be so polite!"
"If it were anyone else, I certainly wouldn't agree."
"But you are different."
After saying this, without waiting for Niu Ben's reply, Lady Pingxin waved her wide sleeves and took away the Xuan Turtle True Spirit that was floating in Niu Ben's palm.
Without further ado, she activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation, then infused several reincarnation techniques into the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle, before casting it into the Human Path of Reincarnation.
After doing all this, Consort Pingxin turned her gaze and looked at Niu Ben meaningfully.
Strangely, she didn't say anything there.
Being stared at so intently by Consort Pingxin, Niu Ben was slightly taken aback, and then quickly bowed in gratitude:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Niu Ben originally wanted to ask why he was treated differently by Consort Pingxin.
But after thinking about it again, he dismissed the idea.
After hearing Niu Ben's thanks, Consort Pingxin smiled faintly, then her figure dissipated and disappeared from the spot.
Then, Niu Ben did not linger in Pingxin Hall and left in a flash.
When he reappeared, he had already re-entered that independent, naturally blessed land.
"Pangu's essence blood is truly extraordinary!"
"I have been refining it for many years, but I still haven't completely refined it."
Niu Ben muttered to himself, then calmed his mind and continued refining.
