Chapter 342 – A Very Generous Gift
As they entered the main hall, the luxuriousness of it was no less than Long Er’s Scaling Dragon Cave. The whole ground was made of crystals and although it wasn’t actual crystal stones, it was still considered a rare mineral of the seabed. On both sides of the hall were brackets holding onto luminescent pearls which made the main hall quite bright. In the center of the main hall was a golden throne that whoever sat upon, even if it was a child, would give off an Emperor’s momentum.
“This place is really not bad.” Lei Yu couldn’t help commenting and staring all around.
That huge golden throne could allow five people to sit at once. The old turtle pulled Lei Yu with him to sit down, a special treatment not anyone can enjoy.
“This is all from the appreciation of these underwater brats.” The old turtle smiled.
Lei Yu then asked: “Senior, you had previously mentioned my big brother had the aura of the Black Tortoise true god. What’s that about?” Lei Yu was really curious about this.
With a light smile, the old turtle replied: “The Black Tortoise true god will choose amongst the billions of existences to be his vessel. When little Hu reached the Gold Core stage, there was a strong resonance between him and my Black Tortoise Shield. If it wasn’t because of this, there’s no way I would have gifted him the shield.”
“What kind of power does the Black Tortoise Shield possess? As one of the divine beasts, why would the Black Tortoise choose my big brother?” Lei Yu asked in confusion.
“Little Hu doesn’t know about this and needs to continue getting stronger in order to break past the barrier to understand it himself. I’m telling you this today for your own knowledge but I hope you will keep this a secret from him and allow him to discover it on his own.” Said the old turtle.
Lei Yu nodded to show he would keep it a secret. Right after that, the old turtle continued: “The ancestors of the gods have lived throughout the ages. From the beginning of time, their existence all came from the same source and that source also nourished their power. These bodies of power have been split into six paths; East, South, West, and North are considered one body. The top and the bottom are split into two realms. The two realms are further split into two regions but they are all part of the same source.”
“Uh…” Lei Yu blinked a few times and embarrassedly said: “Senior, can you say it in simpler terms? I didn’t understand a single word you’ve just said.”
“In other words, there were originally six great divine beasts and six great demonic beasts in charge during the ancient times. Right now, the demonic beasts are silent while there appears to be some divines beasts gradually waking up.”
“You’re saying Nuo Hu has been chosen by the Black Tortoise true god as its vessel to awaken in?”
“That’s absolutely right, and you should know that Long Er belongs to the Dragon Clan which is also the origin point of a divine beast. But of course not everyone of the Dragon Clan is a divine beast. Just like me – although I have the outer appearance of the Black Tortoise Xuan Wu, I’ve only grasped the ancient Black Tortoise techniques and don’t possess the divine beast essence. I’ve only been blowing my own trumpet all these years. Now when it comes to little Hu… if he’s able to train longer and increase his strength, he may eventually one day reach the power of the Black Tortoise true god!”
Lei Yu widened his eyes as he couldn’t believe his big brother would one day achieve such success! It looks like he definitely can’t be allowed to know about this too early. Although Lei Yu knew Nuo Hu’s personality quite well, telling him such a huge piece of news might cause Nuo Hu to feel he’d become strong in the future and actually slack off right now.
“What else is included with the six great divine beasts?” Lei Yu asked.
“At the head of the pack is the Multicolored Divine Bull. Riding on its back is the Vermillion Bird. On its left is the Black Tortoise, on its right is the White Tiger, and at its rear is the Azure Dragon. And the final one being the Lord of all these sacred guardians, a being known as Ares!”
Lei Yu swallowed hard as he was internally shocked to hear the name Ares! So could the bull-head been already identified as one of the divine beasts a thousand years ago?
