Chapter 820 - 336: Treasures Everywhere

"This..."

With the restriction broken, in Chu Ning’s expectation, the little turtle would surely fly away.

Chu Ning was just about to ask how to deal with the giant tortoise.

Unexpectedly, the little turtle merely opened its eyes slightly, glanced at Chu Ning,

and then nonchalantly closed its eyes and continued to sleep.

Chu Ning thought to himself that the giant tortoise was inside his Spirit Beast Bag.

This strand of Essence Soul indeed had nowhere to run.

Just as Chu Ning was thinking this, the giant tortoise’s leisurely voice sounded.

"I never expected that after tens of thousands of years, this strand of Essence Soul would develop its own consciousness.

However, it really has the exact same temperament as this old tortoise, so reluctant to move."

Hearing the giant tortoise’s voice, the little turtle opened its eyes again,

with a hint of surprise and doubt in its gaze.

At this moment, a ray of rosy light suddenly burst out from Chu Ning’s Spirit Beast Bag, sweeping towards the little turtle.

The turtle didn’t have time to react before it was enveloped by the rosy light.

Then it was directly swept into Chu Ning’s Spirit Beast Bag along with the rosy light.

"Casting spells through a Spirit Beast Bag..."

Although Chu Ning had anticipated the turtle’s strength, he had never seen such an odd thing before.

He couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised.

As the rosy light disappeared, the giant tortoise’s voice sounded again.

"Little child, let’s go. There’s nothing left in this cave.

It won’t be long before I must fall into a slumber to merge this Essence Soul.

But don’t worry, that’ll only happen once you leave this Void Abyss. After staying in this ghostly place for so long, I don’t wish to remain any longer."

Hearing this from the giant tortoise, Chu Ning scanned the cave with his Divine Sense.

Sure enough, there was nothing of interest.

He promptly instructed Bai Ling to take him out of the restriction, returning to the Divine Spring Pool.

At this moment, Chu Ning understood why the giant tortoise, knowing that these people were coming to seek treasure, didn’t try to stop them.

It turned out that the other party was also forced to remain here back in the day.

Back then, the giant tortoise didn’t seem to have such strength; otherwise, with its level of Divine Techniques, its Essence Soul couldn’t have been forcibly stripped and trapped here.

Chu Ning couldn’t imagine the level of power the people of the Void Sect possessed.

"Continuing inwards from the Divine Spring Pool can also lead to the Inner Hall of the Void Hall."

Following the giant tortoise’s guidance, Chu Ning utilized Bai Ling’s Innate Divine Techniques to pass through a restriction behind the Divine Spring Pool and proceeded onward.

Not long after Chu Ning left, more figures appeared at the restriction outside the Divine Spring Pool.

The leader, surprisingly, was one of the three Hall Masters of Changkong Hall, Lu Xuedao.

When he stopped at the restriction, the others naturally followed suit and stopped.

Along with him were Shang Song, Shen Yu, several Golden Core Cultivators,

and another group dressed in Divine Sound Valley attire.

"We haven’t seen Chu Ning along the way; he probably didn’t take this path."

Shang Song said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuedao blandly replied:

"That would mean he’s lucky. Of the three paths, the dangers of the other two mainly lie within Array Restrictions.

If he even managed to reach this Divine Spring Pool, encountering that old tortoise would have been fatal."

As Lu Xuedao spoke, his gaze swept across the Golden Core Cultivators.

"However, I doubt he could have reached here; just the backlash from the restrictions cost us two Golden Core Cultivators.

How could he reach this place alone?"

As he spoke, Lu Xuedao also glanced at the Divine Sound Valley members.

"Fellow Daoists, let’s study this restriction here together. It’s far more profound than those outside."

As Lu Xuedao spoke, his eyes sparkled with light.

"The Array Restrictions of this Void Abyss are different each time they activate.

I did manage to break this restriction three hundred years ago, but now that method is unusable."

Then, the group began to study the Array Restriction in front of them.

After a lengthy effort to explore various methods, they finally managed, through the combined efforts of both sides, to open a pathway in the restriction.

Lu Xuedao immediately said:

"Golden Core cultivators should not enter, just wait outside here.

Fellow Daoists, once inside, be sure to set up defenses immediately; it’s unknown how long this tortoise has been in this Void Abyss.

It’s indeed very tricky."

Some of the Nascent Soul Cultivators who had been to the Void Abyss before, and even those who hadn’t, adopted serious expressions upon hearing Lu Xuedao’s solemn words.

At this moment, Lu Xuedao was already the first to walk into the passage.

Soon after, Shang Song, Shen Yu, and two Nascent Soul Cultivators from Divine Sound Valley followed quickly inside.

Five Nascent Soul Cultivators entered the restriction and flew to the giant pond.

An elder from Divine Sound Valley showed a puzzled expression.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I’ve heard some information about the giant tortoise before.

It’s said that once someone enters near this pond, the tortoise appears.

If they don’t retreat, it attacks the cultivators; why haven’t we seen it this time?"

"I also find it strange." Lu Xuedao’s face showed a hint of confusion.

"Three hundred years ago, when I entered this place, the tortoise was on the surface of this pond.

Why is it missing now? Could it be hiding at the bottom of the pond?"

As he spoke, Lu Xuedao extended his Divine Sense towards the bottom of the pond.

The pond water and mud had a certain weakening effect on Divine Sense; even Lu Xuedao’s Divine Sense couldn’t directly probe to the bottom.
