Chapter 92 - 92 : The Calamity (2/2)

For someone who lived as long as him, seeing ordinary treasures like these is not impressive, maybe a Heavenly Ranked Treasure would be a bit worth of his attention but these treasures? They are but disposable items for him.

”Oh? A scale from the Black Tortoise Shell? Hmm”

Azure Bai seemed a bit surprised as he strode toward a normal looking scale. It was two feet long and didn't exude any kind of Energy.

Arthur's curiosity was also picked when he saw Bai Lingyue react like that so he unconsciously appraised the scale.

Degenerated Scale of the Black Tortoise; Effect: Contain some leftover Energy of the legendary Black Tortoise

WARNING : Absorbing the leftover Energy would lead to a fatal backlash to the user's soul and cause his life deteriorate

'Black Tortoise?'

Arthur heard that name in the past. It was something about a calamity that happened in Astria ten thousand years ago. The Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and the Azure Dragon were mentioned.

”Senior Bai, what is the Black Tortoise”

Arthur could not help but ask as he was really curious about this topic. Only some myths and scary stories were told about the calamity that occurred in the past, but all of the stories were vague and most of them are most likely fake.

”You don't know about the Black Tortoise?”

Azure Bai furrowed his brows for a second as he seemed to be pondering about something.

”Friend Arthur, may I know how old are you and Miss Lucy?”

Arthur was expecting an answer and not a question from the azure-clothed man. He didn't know much about the age of people here, but there was one thing for certain, he is considered a Junior, whether it's him or Lucy.

He didn't dare lie as in Zodiak's books, he read that there are some techniques that powerful individuals use to ascertain the bone age of weaker people, so in front of someone like Bai Lingyue, it would be futile to lie about their age. But there was also the chance that Azure Bai couldn't use that technique, or he could but he wanted to see how Arthur would answer.

”Answering to Senior Bai, I'm 37 Years old and Lucy is 44”

Lucy was a bit older than Arthur, but the difference was just 7 years, moreover, age doesn't matter in a world like this.

Silence ruled over the fourth floor as Azure Bai's eyes widened, for the first time, he showed a surprised expression and couldn't utter a word for a dozen of swords.

”37 and 44 you say..... that's amazing...”

Kara who was standing not far away, was left speechless as she really couldn't believe what she heard.

Arthur wasn't sure on what this was about, he just stated his and Lucy's age, there was nothing to fret about, or maybe he done goofed and said something unnecessary.

”Amazing?”

Lucy was the one was uttered that, she didn't find anything particularly special or amazing about her age or Arthur's, so she was left confused.

”I-It's really amazing... amazing would be an understatement... I cannot sense Sir Arthur and Miss Lucy's Realm so you must be at least in the Heavenly Realm... to be at that Realm at the age of 37 is incredible... compared to you, I'm already 76 and I'm only at the Spirit Realm...”

Kara was the one who spoke as she couldn't hide her astonishment.

”Just as Miss attendant said, it's unbelievable, If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it... The peak of the Deity Realm at 37 and First Grade Immortal at 44... that's something only the peak geniuses do in the sect at the higher-Realms...”

”What! Immortal?!”

Kara suddenly cried but she quickly covered her mouth with both of her hands, you could see a look of surprise and disbelief in her eyes.

”... is that so...”

Arthur didn't know how to react, he should've lied but it was too late to regret it now, so he could only act normal and play it cool as if he already knew he was a genius. Well, he is not a genius but it's just that his race allowed him to steal the power of whoever he possessed so it is to be expected to reach this Realm this fast.

If he said that it only took him about two or three years to climb from Level 1 to the Peak of Deity Realm, both of Azure Bai and Kara would spit blood!

It didn't take long for Azure Bai to regain his calmness, whatever Arthur and Lucy did or their origins, he didn't ask, he was very curious but he managed to hold himself back.

” *Sigh*... returning to the Black Tortoise topic, since you're young, you may not know but ten thousand years ago....
