Chi chi chi.
The footstep sounds were very light and fast, as though it was not made by a human, as Tang Tian involuntarily turned his body. When he turned, the sight before him darkened, as a gigantic animal stood in front of him.
So big!
Tang Tian was shocked, facing the big guy, who was three times his size, he needed to look upwards to be able to see its face. It was a star spirit turtle that he had never seen before, the turtle shell was like a mountain, covered with a motley of scars and wounds, an unspeakable imposing might falling on him.
It lowered his head and took a whiff of Tang Tian.
“What…..what are you?” Tang Tian’s face was filled with shock as he struggled to speak, he had already forgotten about the chant of speaking less.
The big guy sniffed around Tang Tian, a black mist forming over its head, exposing a suspicious look. The churning and floating mist of qi, kept on changing, but Tang Tian could clearly see its expression.
The big turtle stared at Tang Tian for a long while, Tang Tian could clearly see that the big turtle was curious.
“Well, I am….Ah Chou.”
The name “Tang Tian” almost slipped out of his mouth, but he remembered in time that he was not in his own territory.
Keep a low profile, a low profile….
The big turtle looked at him, then turned to leave. Tang Tian then noticed that, there was even black mist curling around the big turtle’s four limbs, its movements were faster than what Tang Tian thought, without the least bit of clumsiness, it was actually very agile.
Tang Tian stared and watched the big turtle disappear.
“What a strange star spirit beast!” Bing reappeared with a look of surprise: “On its body, I could not feel a bit of life at all. Could it be a dead animal?”
“Eh, Uncle, you also felt that?” Tang Tian nodded his head: “I also felt that. Alright, let’s not think about it, I will first finish my job!”
Tang Tian turned and began chopping the ice bricks.
When Sister Ying returned, the ice bricks in front of Tang Tian were piled up like a mountain, causing her to become extremely happy, and she allowed Tang Tian to return to the training camp to rest.
The training camp was not very far from Ancient Cold City. On the way back, a few martial artists swept past above him, they did not bother hiding their aura, one of them was even revealing himself as a saint!
Tang Tian guessed that he should be Li Liang Qiu’s Father, Li Ruo, but he was afraid that he would be detected, and did not take a good look.
Returning to the training camp, Ding Chen immediately asked about his day. Tang Tian immediately spoke about the big turtle. Ding Chen explained that the big turtle was called Fog Turtle, it was extremely gentle, and has never hurt anyone before. But no one knew of Fog Turtle’s background and history.
When the training camp was completely fixed, every group would return to their own base, and everyone calmed down. It was extremely tough working in the day, and the past few days had been a scare, and now that everyone was relaxed, they all fell into deep slumber.
Tang Tian had to wait for night to come, so he started to polish his martial techniques in his own room.
The current him was strong, comparable to a bronze saint, but he still had not found his path. This predicament stemmed from two questions. The first question was whether or not the Zero Energy Body was already at its peak, or could it still be strengthened? His current strength laid mostly on the uniqueness of the Zero Energy Body. The other question was the method to use Little Fool. Up till now, his understanding of Little Fool, was mostly relying on Little Fool to amplify his own power.
As a ranked martial artist, he should not have the problem of being unable to control energy.
He needed time to be calm and think of a good method. Adding in that there were many saints in his camp, they have had many discussions and theories regarding the saint spirit domains, it widened Tang Tian’s world.
After reaching the saint rank, saints who had spirit domains would change their manner of fighting. All of this, stemmed from the fact that spirit domains could directly mobilize True Power. The manner of using spirit domains to fight was considered a fantastic oddity, some spirit domains could form a complete space,and trap enemies in the spirit domain, just like when Tang Tian met the sword saint in the Demon Sealing Sword. And there were spirit domains that actually mimicked the use of True Power, and allowing the formation of an even stronger attack, for example Feng Yue who was under Tang Tian. And there were spirit domains of blood meridians martial artists, which were different from ordinary martial artists, their spirit domains, were usually meant to improve their bodies. Other than that, there were also unique spirit domains, like Jing Hao’s sword spirit, which was an extremely special spirit domain.
Thinking about that, Tang Tian suddenly had a thought, could it be that my Little Fool was also an extremely special spirit domain?
That sudden thought instantly made Tang Tian excited.
That’s right!
Big Brother Jing Hao’s sword spirit is being treated as a spirit domain, so why can’t Little Fool be a spirit domain? And Little Fool can directly control energy, this characteristic completely corresponded to a spirit domain.
The more Tang Tian thought about it, the more reasonable it felt. He immediately called Bing out, and told him about it. Hearing that, Bing also felt that it was reasonable, and quickly returned to Three Spirits City, and quickly passed down the information to Ursa Major Constellation. To let them check if there was such a spirit domain.
Very quickly, Ursa Major Constellation transmitted a reply, there truly was such a spirit domain!
It was an extremely rare spirit domain, called a Form Spirit. A Form Spirit was an extremely ancient spirit domain, which was rarely seen nowadays. In ancient times, the martial technique system was not as fine as it was currently, and the saint spirit domains in that time, contained laws that were not as pure as it was in current times, and usually contained a few different aspects of laws.
The form spirit was a unique spirit domain, it had a specific intellect, and did not contain any law, but was a body by itself that had the growing characteristic. Also, it did have weaknesses. For example the current spirit domains, were like a plot of land, and saints could build their own houses on this plot of land. But a Form Spirit, was like a pet, and its growth, could not really be controlled.
That was the reason of why the Form Spirit gradually disappeared.
Saints were obsessed over their control of their strength, and strength that could not be controlled, was not favoured by them.
