Chapter 871 - 801: Nourishing God Turtle

Even though he consumed as many Holy Sea Primordial Pills as he could, he could not absorb and refine the pure energy from the pills for his own use.He exhaled a breath, then left the secret place.

He quickly found Qing Lian and Zhan Huantai in a city not far from where the sea monsters had previously attacked.

He restrained the Primordial Power on his body, and Zhan Huantai did not detect the advancement in his cultivation.

However, Qing Lian had keen eyes; with just a few glances, she knew that Duan Gujin's cultivation had progressed to the Martial Saint Second Level.

In her heart, even if Duan Gujin's cultivation broke through to the Shattering Void Realm, she would remain unfazed.

"Gujin, I have some bad news to tell you!"

Seeing Duan Gujin appear, Qing Lian quickly relayed the information she had gathered to him.

"Speak!" Duan Gujin said indifferently.

"I've found that those sea monsters might launch another attack soon. My Divine Sense detected that there are suddenly many different types of sea monsters ahead; I detected three Shattering Void First Layer sea monsters!" Qing Lian said.

"Qing Lian, I previously used the Abyss Electric Eel as the main ingredient to refine the Holy Sea Primordial Pill. I thought it might not suit you, so I didn't tell you! I'm already at the Martial Saint Second Level now! With my current strength, I'm afraid I can only be undefeated against those below the Martial Saint Realm!"

Duan Gujin said.

"I understand! So, what do you think we should do to deal with those sea monsters next?"

Qing Lian immediately understood the implication in Duan Gujin's words. Both of them were reincarnations, and whether in cultivation talent or experience, they were much stronger than the average martial artists on Yuanzhen Continent.

But they were also subject to the harsh reality of scarce cultivation resources. Qing Lian had also taken the Holy Sea Primordial Pill before, and she knew that to suppress its negative effects, suitable auxiliary spiritual medicine must be used to counteract it.

Failing to suppress its negative effects was no different than ingesting poison.

Moreover, she knew that suitable auxiliary spiritual medicine was not easy to find, and finding the right one for her would require at least a demigod-level spirit medicine.

The chances of finding a demigod-level spirit medicine on Yuanzhen Continent were extremely slim. Even if it did appear, its efficacy would be greatly reduced compared to the Divine World.

Duan Gujin was telling her that his current strength could only leave him undefeated against anyone below the Martial Saint Realm, making him no match for the three sea monsters at the Shattering Void First Layer.

"Let's first observe the situation with those sea monsters before doing anything!"

Duan Gujin said calmly.

Since those sea monsters had not fully retreated, the Taihuang Immortal Sect remained on high alert in the nearby city.

Like Qing Lian, they also detected that the number and types of sea monsters were increasing, indicating that these sea monsters were gathering reinforcement.

The Taihuang Immortal Sect was secretly monitoring the sea monsters' movements while also searching for the three Martial Saints, including Duan Gujin.

But soon, Zhan Changsheng ordered his disciples to stop searching for the three Martial Saints, including Duan Gujin.

He recalled that the three powerful Martial Saints had previously helped them deal with the sea monsters, and if cornered, they might strike back at the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciples during their tense standoff with the sea monsters, leading to numerous casualties.

Although Zhan Changsheng deeply resented the three Martial Saints, including Duan Gujin, the critical moment of a decisive battle between the Taihuang Immortal Sect and the sea monsters meant he could not afford any significant mistakes.

In the previous battle, the Taihuang Immortal Sect had sent many disciples to fight the sea monsters that breached the city walls, resulting in heavy casualties.

Two days later, Saido and Feiyu successfully tricked another sea monster leader, Zhou Xin, and decided to attack the city together with the three sea monsters.

This time, three different sea monster leaders gathered to siege the Human Clan's City, putting enormous pressure on the humans inside.

Zhan Changsheng dispatched elders and disciples to secretly set up a killing array around the city to fend off the sea monsters' assault.

Two nights later, with the tides rising high, the sea monsters seized the opportunity to launch their attack.

The martial artists inside the city were on high alert, nervously watching every movement in front of them.

Hidden within the city, Duan Gujin beamed with joy as his Divine Sense detected a type of spiritual medicine appearing among the sea monsters.

This spiritual medicine was called the Nourishing God Turtle, a high-level spirit medicine capable of nourishing the Divine Soul.

In fact, the Nourishing God Turtle is a sea monster that is nearly akin to a Divine Beast, and there is a tradition of keeping such sea monsters in the Divine World.

Unlike the Abyss Electric Eel, both the body and inner core of the Nourishing God Turtle are incredibly nourishing, without any side effects.

"Qing Lian, look, it's the Nourishing God Turtle. We're in luck!"

Seeing the appearance of the Nourishing God Turtle among the sea monsters, Duan Gujin's eyes lit up.

"Indeed! I'll cooperate with you! Once we catch that Nourishing God Turtle, we'll brew a pot of soup!"

Qing Lian, like him, had her eyes gleaming brightly.

"Haha, foodies think alike!"

Duan Gujin chuckled softly.

"Let's eat what we can. Haha! I thought we wouldn't gain anything from fighting the sea monsters, but now I realize that not only do we have Abyss Electric Eels here on Yuanzhen Continent, but there are also high-class supplements like the Nourishing God Turtle! Unfortunately, it seems there's only one among the sea monsters."

Qing Lian extended her Divine Sense, thoroughly probing for quite a while.

She hoped to find more Nourishing God Turtles, but after an extensive search, she found no new discoveries.

"I believe there's only that one Nourishing God Turtle among the sea monsters, and it's perfect for nourishing the Divine Soul!"

"Exactly! Absolutely!"

They immediately summoned Zhan Huantai, informing him of their idea to focus on dealing with the weaker sea monsters during the upcoming battle.

"Let the Taihuang Immortal Sect handle the more powerful sea monsters. Qing Lian and I have locked onto some exceptionally strong sea monsters ahead. Our battle with them will be incredibly dangerous, so it's best you stay away!"

Duan Gujin stated.

"Alright!"

Zhan Huantai quickly nodded. Although he wanted to showcase his bravery in front of Qing Lian, he had seen Duan Gujin single-handedly slay two Abyss Electric Eels before, knowing that his combat power and experience were far inferior.

He clearly understood that if he were to confront the Abyss Electric Eels, he might only meet his demise.

He initially intended to present himself as a courageous hero to Qing Lian, but he knew that his combat power and experience weren't enough to easily defeat those Abyss Electric Eels. In Qing Lian's eyes, he would be nothing more than a hero wannabe, a result he did not want to see.

Patience was one of Zhan Huantai's traits.

Duan Gujin and Qing Lian suspected that behind the Nourishing God Turtle there were surely many powerful sea monsters guarding it, so they didn't want Zhan Huantai following them.

To them, the current Zhan Huantai was merely a burden, incapable of assisting them.

If Zhan Huantai were to join them, they would be distracted by having to protect him.

They restrained their aura, disguising themselves as ordinary martial artists, and entered the city.

At that time, the city housed many disciples from other sects, each scattered to guard different positions, preventing sea monsters from attacking the city.

Duan Gujin and Qing Lian found a spot nearest to the Nourishing God Turtle and laid in ambush, extending their Divine Sense to lock onto the Nourishing God Turtle ahead.

They considered the Nourishing God Turtle as their prey, with only them having the right to hunt it.

The sea monsters kept rushing ashore, entering the city.

The first to breach the city walls were some weak Sea Snake sea monsters, serving purely as cannon fodder.

They roamed around and easily tripped on the killing arrays set up by the Human Clan inside the city, leading to their deaths.

Among the sea monsters, Sea Snakes and Sea Shrimps were the lowest-tier, with enormous numbers.

Therefore, regardless of how many perished, the sea monster leaders felt no pity.
