Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4476: Stone turtle

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ling Han didn’t say this.

Otherwise, who knew how jealous Yang Yihuan and the others would be.

“Let’s go. Since the Imperial Origin has already been taken, there is no meaning to continue staying on this island,” He Luo said.

“Is there still Imperial Origin ahead of us?” Ling Han asked.

Yang Yihuan and the others all smiled, but did not answer.

There must be, but they didn’t want Ling Han to get any more information, so they weren’t willing to leak out any more information.

After all, if Ling Han participated, that would truly be an unfair competition. No one would be able to do anything but stand by and watch.

Humans were naturally selfish, what more when this involved the only qualification to become Emperor.

The five of them split up, but the general direction was the same, and they continued onwards.

Ling Han analysed the secrets of Regulations he had seen as he sped forward.

Previously, it had only been an instant, and he had completely committed it to memory. Now, he was truly beginning to comprehend it.

He multitasked, and while maintaining his high speed of flight, his comprehension was also gradually entering an optimal state.

“This… No, that way!” he murmured continuously. Occasionally, he would frown, and at other times, he would smile, his expression extremely colourful.

He was only a Sect Master, yet he was comprehending a Seven Star Regulation. This was too difficult.

If he went to the Mountain Sea Heaven, even if the Seven Star Regulations manifested in front of him, he would only be able to stare blankly. Without reaching the peak stage of Sect Master, there was no way he could comprehend it.

No one said that if they went to the Mountain Sea Heaven, they would definitely be able to break through. It would only decrease the difficulty of breaking through slightly.

Previously, when the Mountain Sea Heaven opened, those people whose lifespans were close to drying up all left with the awareness that they would die of old age there. No one dared to say that when the next time the Mountain Sea Heaven opened, they themselves would be able to successfully break through.

However, Imperial Origin was different. It directly displayed the secret of Regulations, and this gave Ling Han the chance to grasp high-level Regulations in advance.

Though this was still very, very difficult.

“As expected of the power of a Great Emperor!”

“No, according to my deduction, this should be a tiny bit of martial intent from the Great Emperor.”

“They all say that the Great Emperor is too strong. After death, his soul would not enter into the Netherworld, and would be directly absorbed and assimilated by the heaven and earth. Hence, since this is a Mystery Realm that was naturally formed by the heaven and earth, and is called the Imperial Path, then wouldn’t it be very normal for it to leave behind a sliver of the martial intent of the Great Emperor?”

Thoughts streaked through Ling Han’s mind, but he immediately dismissed them, and concentrated on deducing the secrets of Regulations.

If he could use the Seven Star Regulation at the level of Sect Master, his awesomeness would definitely increase greatly.

A whole half month later, a large island appeared ahead of him.

Ling Han flew down, a sliver of a smile appearing at the corners of his lips.

He stretched out a hand and swiped in front of him. Immediately, a ray of light that was thinner than even a spider’s thread appeared in front of him. It was as black as ink, but exuded an incredibly terrifying aura.

This was the silk of Regulations, Seven Star Regulation!

He could finally use the Seven Star Regulation, but he could only mobilize a sliver of it. Furthermore, he was unable to move it with a single thought. The Regulation would appear, but he would need some time to accumulate it.

“Though that is the case, it still has great practical value.”

Ling Han nodded. After all, this was a Seven Star Regulation. Logically speaking, it should have been impossible for a Sect Master to use. Only when he had reached the peak stage of Sect Master, would he be able to glimpse a sliver of its profound secrets, and use it as a trigger for his breakthrough.

Now that he could use it in battle, how heaven-defying was that?

He first roamed around the island, but did not find any Celestial Herb, nor did he encounter any obstruction. Obviously, there was no way that there was any Imperial Origin hidden here.

“He Luo.”

His eyes swept over the surroundings, and saw that He Luo had also appeared on the island. However, the latter did not greet him. Instead, he went directly to the other side of the island.

This island was very narrow and long. When He Luo reached the other end, he actually stepped on a rock by the coast. A strange scene appeared. This rock actually moved, turning into a sea turtle that carried him out to sea.

Yi?

Ling Han was surprised. Could it be that the use of this island was only a crossing point?

He secretly rejoiced. Thankfully, He Luo had appeared in time. Otherwise, he would not have known what to do at all.

After all, he had walked the Imperial Path quite a number of times, so he naturally knew how he should proceed in the next stage.

The other party ignored him. Ling Han could understand this, because there was definitely still Imperial Origin ahead of him. He had to try his best to stop Ling Han here, so that he would have a chance of obtaining it.

Ling Han smiled. He also arrived at the other side of the island, and began his search.

The beach here was covered with rocks, and they were all shaped like turtles. There were also veined patterns on the back of the turtle, which was extremely complicated.

How should he choose?

Ling Han was at a loss, so he randomly jumped onto a rock. Instantly, this rock moved, and four limbs actually stretched out of the rock, turning into a sea turtle. Then, it slowly turned around and headed towards the ocean.

The stone turtle gradually sped up, not the slightest bit slow.

Ling Han was slightly confused. Why did he have to use the stone turtle as a vessel to cross the sea? Even if its speed wasn’t slow, it wasn’t as fast as a cultivator flying over directly.

However, he soon found out the reason.

Not long after entering the sea, flashes of sword light shot out from the sea from time to time.

Ling Han merely glanced at it, and already knew that he would not be able to block this sword light. Probably, it could even insta-kill Venerate Tiers.

However, though the stone turtle had no battle prowess, it could block the sword light, making the back of the turtle a safe place.

So that was the case.

Ling Han nodded in understanding. It was no wonder that he had to use the stone turtle to cross the sea.

Yi, hold on.

Ling Han shockingly discovered that after swimming for a while, this stone turtle actually turned around and returned.

Ahead of him, the island that he had previously left very quickly reappeared before his eyes.

‘Why have you come back?’

The stone turtle swam to the beach, then stopped. It retracted its limbs, and turned back into a giant rock.

Ling Han was slightly dumbfounded. Was this considered a day trip?

‘What on earth is going on?

He jumped onto another rock, and immediately, four limbs stretched out of the rock, turning once more into a sea turtle, which carried Ling Han out to sea.

This time, the turtle journeyed for three days, yet slowly brought Ling Han back again.

‘Holy f*ck!’

Ling Han did not jump blindly onto the third rock again. He believed that if he wanted to cross the sea, he would definitely have to ride on these stone turtles. However, if he were to try them one by one like this, it was possible that he would have to spend a few months, or even a few years, or even a few decades, before he would be lucky enough to encounter the right rock.

There must be a trick to it.

A thought flashed through Ling Han’s mind, and his gaze landed on the veined patterns on the stone.

Could it be related to this?

Ling Han found the first and second stone, and carefully compared the veined patterns on them.

After a while, he broke into a smile.

The veined patterns on every stone were a labyrinth, and the correct route to walk out of the labyrinth was exactly the same as the route that the stone turtle had taken him on.

He could be considered to have solved half of the dilemma, and the remaining half was how was he supposed to find the correct route?

“Simple. The wrong path would ultimately lead one back.”

“Thus, the correct route would definitely not end on this island.”

With this in mind, Ling Han started to search again.

Multiple rocks were eliminated by him, and his progress was very fast.

‘Hmm?’

Another person had come.

Guan Xinghan.
