Chapter 1160 Doumu Temple (Part 2)

After about ten minutes, Xu Changqing felt that the vibration on the ground had increased to the point where ordinary people could not stand firm. Then he saw that the fog that had been solidified in the sky about a thousand miles away rolled up like it was stirred by some invisible force. Then a giant tortoise's head drilled out of the fog and extended outward at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed. Not long after, the huge turtle body gradually drilled out of the fog.

During the Three Realms of Kunlun, Xu Changqing had also seen demon clans with the bloodline of ancient wild beasts. They also had huge bodies. However, the huge bodies of those demon clans were as small as the giant turtle Xu Changqing saw now.

According to Xu Changqing's estimate, the height of the abdomen of this giant turtle is a thousand feet high from the ground. This small part of the tortoise shell exposed by the huge light has exceeded the area of ​​a small city in the world. If estimated based on the shape of the tortoise shell, the size of this giant turtle is at least equivalent to the total area of ​​the capital and Tianjin. However, compared with such a huge turtle body, its head seems too small, completely disproportionate, and looks extremely deformed.

In addition, this giant turtle also grew more than four turtle feet, as Xu Changqing had previously speculated, and each turtle foot was like a giant pillar supporting the heavy and huge turtle body. Every step it took would cause violent tremors on the earth.

Such a huge giant tortoise is rare in Zhen Yuanzi's memory, and every giant tortoise that appears in front of people is a famous person, such as Xuanwu among the four symbols, Jinao Island where the Heavenly Lord of Shangqing is located, such as the giant tortoise used to make up for the prehistoric heavenly way, etc. However, Xu Changqing, the giant tortoise that appears in front of him, could not find any answer from Zhen Yuanzi's incomplete memory. It seems that this giant tortoise does not originate from an ancient prehistoric alien species, but judging from its deformed appearance, it looks more like a kind of acquired creature created.

While shocked by the huge size of the giant tortoise in front of him, Xu Changqing did not forget to pay attention to some special details on the giant tortoise. It is precisely because the giant tortoise's body is so huge that Xu Changqing only needs to observe the naked eye to easily discover some subtle abnormalities that needed to be noticed through special methods in the past.

For example, Xu Changqing now noticed that although this giant tortoise crawled like a living creature, it was actually a dead creature. Its ability to walk and move like a living creature was entirely the reason why Xu Changqing had not yet figured it out.

The reason why Xu Changqing made such a judgment was entirely because the head of a giant tortoise did not look like the head of a normal living creature at all, but more like the head of a zombie. The entire head was completely covered with bones, with no flesh in the middle, and no extra objects such as blood vessels. It was so thin that it was covered with large and small mesh cracks like farmland that had been exposed to the sun for many days.

In addition, the pair of empty eyes without eyeballs in the head and eye sockets continued to emit a dead aura outward. After this aura emerged, it did not dissipate around, but instead gathered on the top of the head, forming a shape similar to a canopy or Ganoderma lucidum, which looked extremely spectacular from a distance. The unique aura contained in this dead aura was blocked by the power of the special laws of the world, and even the invisible power restriction around it was still difficult to resist its emanation. Even if the distance was so far, Xu Changqing could clearly see and sense this aura.

In addition to the unpredictable state of life and death of the giant turtle, which attracted Xu Changqing's attention, the various abnormal situations formed by the giant turtle walking also attracted Xu Changqing's attention.

The giant turtle was so huge that it caused a huge earthquake when walking, which indirectly showed how heavy its pace was, but Xu Changqing found that it did not cause any damage to the objects under his feet, as if this heavy pace was an illusion, and its actual body weight was equivalent to nothing.

Just now, Xu Changqing saw a giant turtle's foot falling from the air and stepped hard on the remains of the palace he had been to before. With such a huge and heavy force falling down, no matter how strong the remains that had been petrified and had lost all defense power, they should be trampled into pieces. Even a footprint should be stepped on at the top of the edge of the giant pit. But in fact, the bottom of the turtle's foot fell on the top of the ruined building and stopped as if it was being held back. The force was transmitted to the bottom. After causing a vibration, it did not destroy anything, and did not even stir up any dust, so it lifted up again and continued to move forward.

From the moment the giant appeared, almost half an hour had passed before the giant tortoise's shell appeared in Xu Changqing's eyes intact.

Although Xu Changqing had already inferred the body shape of the giant turtle before, he still felt extremely shocked after seeing its complete shape through the Great Light Divine Eye. He was so emotional that the turtle's body was so huge that it was beyond imagination. The sixty-four giant pillars supporting the entire heavy turtle body were also one of the main reasons, because he had recognized the origin of the giant turtle from these sixty-four unique turtle feet and the special texture on its surface skin.

The black turtle is the name of this giant turtle. In later classics describing ancient prehistoric events, it is easy to confuse this kind of spiritual turtle with another kind of spiritual turtle called the spinning turtle. In fact, these are completely two different species. The spinning turtle is a water spirit beast with an ancient dragon vein on it, which is considered a kind of dragon race alien species. The black turtle is an innate spiritual beast born from the power of heaven and earth. Its root is sixty-four heaven and earth powers, but because its shape is like a turtle, and its sixty-four heaven and earth powers are exactly in line with the sixty-four hexagrams of Xuanmen, it is named after the black turtle.

When the sixty-four hexagrams were born in the prehistoric period, the heaven and earth responded, and the sixty-four forces of the heaven and earth in the body of the black turtle resonated with it, causing the hexagrams and Dharma images of the sixty-four hexagrams to float on the bottom and skin of the sixty-four legs of the black turtle in the shape of a turtle pattern respectively.

Because the skin on the black turtle in front of him was dry and cracked, the surface of the sixty-four hexagrams has been greatly deformed and difficult to identify. Therefore, when he saw the turtle feet before, Xu Changqing's guess did not lean towards the turtle. It was not until he saw that the giant turtle had as many as 64 legs that he suddenly thought of the black turtle, a unique spiritual beast in the prehistoric world. Then his eyes also saw the sixty-four hexagrams on the soles of the feet when he raised the turtle's feet, and confirmed the origin of the giant turtle.

The reason why Xu Changqing had no guess at the beginning that the spirit beast like the Black Tortoise was mainly because Zhen Yuanzi's memory was that the size of the Black Tortoise was too far from the giant Tortoise in front of him.

In Zhen Yuanzi's memory, although the black turtle was also very large, this size did not exceed Xu Changqing's attempt. The largest black turtle was only the size of an ordinary courtyard. The body shape of the ordinary black turtle was almost the same as the tortoise-shaped stone sculptures carrying monuments in front of the tombs of the emperor. It was considered large for ordinary people, but only ordinary for the prehistoric spirit beasts.

However, the body shape of the black turtle in front of him has far exceeded that of the normal body shape. More importantly, the size of its head and the proportion of its body cannot correspond to the black turtle in memory, which makes Xu Changqing unable to see the origin of the giant turtle in front of him.

After the giant turtle appeared, it did not show any danger, but Xu Changqing still couldn't be sure that the giant turtle was not at all dangerous. He was also considering whether he should approach the past, and even flew to the turtle's back to take a look, because there were countless things to build a temple on the back of some huge wild beasts in the ancient times. Whether there could be a city on the back of the giant turtle in front of him, and whether there would be some living creatures in the city are all things worth exploring.

In addition to the danger of the giant turtle itself, which Xu Changqing had to consider, the walking traces he followed before were also something he needed to consider. Obviously, if he went to the back of the turtle, he would not be able to continue to track the group of people who left these traces.

After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing's gaze looked at the place where the footprints finally disappeared, and his gaze fell on the footprints left by the group when they stopped. Seeing the direction of the toes on the footprints, he couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

With this guess, Xu Changqing immediately used a time-inversion magical power created by Ludwig's bloodline magical power, and injected his magical power into his eyes. After a very faint sour feeling, countless illusions appeared in front of Xu Changqing's eyes, and these illusions were all afterimages left in time by what he saw in his sight.

Although this magical power can be easily used for Xu Changqing who has touched the Dao of Time, the magic power required to maintain this state is very huge, and it is not available to the physical body of this mortal body now. After the magical power is used, he immediately felt that the magic power on his body was rapidly consumed. According to his judgment, at most ten seconds, the consumption of his magic power on his body will reach a limit. If it continues to be consumed, it is likely that due to the weakening of his natal magic power, various forces in his body will lose balance, resulting in a backlash.

For this reason, Xu Changqing searched for the information he wanted in countless afterimages of time as fast as possible. After just seven seconds, he dissipated the magical powers in his eyes, and his spirit also escaped from the endless afterimages of time.

At this time, Xu Changqing's face was a little pale due to the large amount of mana consumption, but at the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had found the clue he wanted.

Instead of starting the next move immediately, he sat down on the spot, using his natal Taoism to promote mana and restore consumption, he used the way of heaven and earth to transform the power of wild beasts and divine power in his body, and accelerated the replenishment of mana. In just less than five minutes, his face returned to normal, and the mana in his body also returned to its previous state.
