Chapter 756
byChapter 756: Suspected Master of Thunder Calamity
"If you become the Divine Beast of our sect, I can ensure the safety of your eggs," Xu Fan said, looking at the overturned Celestial Turtle.
"Awwooo~~" the Celestial Turtle let out a soft growl.
"So, you’ve already signed a master-servant contract with the Golden Winged Roc? That’s manageable."
A strand of Xu Fan’s divine sense directly entered the Celestial Turtle’s soul.
"If the Golden Winged Roc were still in the cultivation world, this master-servant contract would be tricky to handle."
"But since it’s no longer here, things are much simpler." With that, Xu Fan reversed the contract within the Celestial Turtle’s soul.
He didn’t bother to destroy it and start over; instead, he simply changed the contract’s master to himself.
The Celestial Turtle’s soul trembled, and its gaze toward Xu Fan softened, no longer carrying the fear it had when Xu Fan had threatened her by touching her eggs.
"Awwooo~" the Celestial Turtle called out again.
"Haha, don’t worry, I won’t touch your eggs anymore," Xu Fan said with a smile, gently flipping the Celestial Turtle back onto her feet.
At that moment, Xu Fan noticed the items the Celestial Turtle had pulled out.
They were all things left to her by the Golden Winged Roc before its ascension, intended for its avatar.
However, the avatar came and went quickly, so these items remained unused and were now a windfall for Xu Fan.
There were two celestial tools; one was the palace that had originally been on the Celestial Turtle’s head, named the Heavenly Roc Palace, which could control space and make spatial teleportation easier for the Celestial Turtle.
The other seemed to be a celestial tool obtained from the human race.
Xu Fan glanced at the remaining treasures and artifact-level spirit ores.
"Not bad, this haul is quite substantial," Xu Fan said with a laugh as he placed the Heavenly Roc Palace onto the Celestial Turtle’s head.
He then took a seat in the main position of the palace.
"Let’s head to the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake near Lin Sen Fairy City," Xu Fan said, transmitting the coordinates into the Celestial Turtle’s mind.
The Celestial Turtle nodded lightly, and with a burst of spatial force behind her, she disappeared from the secret realm.
Not far from Hidden Spirit Island, the Celestial Turtle emerged above the surface of the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake.
Then, she landed heavily into the depths of the giant lake.
"From now on, you can rest here when you have nothing to do," Xu Fan instructed.
The Celestial Turtle, now submerged with just her head above water, slowly nodded.
"Grape, the Celestial Turtle will be my trusted mount from now on; make sure to replenish her supplies regularly," Xu Fan instructed.
"Understood, Master."
"Grand Elder, isn’t this the prestigious vehicle of the Golden Winged Roc? Did you take it?" Spirit Cut said in surprise.
"Remember when this Celestial Turtle destroyed our Star Ship? As compensation, she will now serve as my mount," Xu Fan replied with a laugh.
"That works; this prestige suits the identity of the Grand Elder well," Spirit Cut said with a smile.
"It’s acceptable," Xu Fan said, suddenly recalling something.
He waved his hand, and another massive giant beast was flung out.
A giant two-headed fish stretched for hundreds of miles.
"At first, I thought about taming it as a mount, but now it’s useless. Do you want it?" Xu Fan asked, looking at Spirit Cut.
Seeing the hideous Two-headed Fish Giant Beast, Spirit Cut shook his head in strong refusal.
"Grand Elder, you should give it to someone else."
Xu Fan had subdued this giant beast while visiting his wife and, without much thought, stored it in his Daoist artifact palace.
"Alright, if you don’t want it, I’ll ask around. If no one needs it, we’ll slaughter it to build a Star Ship," Xu Fan nodded.
"By the way, where are you off to? I saw you flying pretty fast earlier," Xu Fan inquired.
"Butcher Li is about to face his tribulation. I’m going to see if he needs any help," Spirit Cut replied.
"Butcher Li? I didn’t expect him to progress faster than his prodigy son," Xu Fan chuckled, as Butcher Li, a suspected reincarnation of a great being, had always been on his radar.
"Butcher Li has an extraordinary talent for lightning. His thunder techniques are so terrifying, I can barely withstand a few strikes," Spirit Cut admitted, though he didn’t want to reveal that he could no longer defeat his good friend.
"Since it’s a tribulation, I’ll go take a look too," Xu Fan said after some thought.
A reincarnated great being is worth forming a good connection with.
On a small island thirty thousand miles from Hidden Spirit Island, Butcher Li was undergoing the Tribulation of the Physical Body.
"Ten Thousand Miles of Calamity Clouds—your good brother is quite impressive," Xu Fan remarked with a smile.
"Of course! I’ve known Brother Li for over a thousand years. Our bond is unshakable. If I’m in trouble, Brother Li will always step up," Spirit Cut said passionately.
Just then, the first strike of the thunder calamity descended.
As the thunder calamity lit up the sky, the heavens roared, and hundreds of lightning dragons emerged from the thunderclouds, swirling around Butcher Li.
The spectacle was awe-inspiring.
Li Lei Hu watched as hundreds of lightning dragons encircled his father and grew frantic.
"Grand Elder, please save my father!" Li Lei Hu pleaded, dropping to his knees.
As soon as he knelt, a gentle force lifted him back up.
"Your father is strong. These lightning dragons aren’t here to harm him," Xu Fan reassured.
Xu Fan observed that each of the hundreds of lightning dragons possessed its own intelligence, and those surrounding Butcher Li seemed to show submission in their eyes.
They were paying their respects to Butcher Li.
"My goodness, this is even more impressive than your tribulation, Grand Elder," Spirit Cut exclaimed, knowing that his good brother’s reincarnated status made such a grand display unsurprising.
At that moment, the thunder calamity in the sky seemed to float gently onto Butcher Li, as if asking, "Is this enough force? Should I add more?"
Butcher Li’s eyes gleamed with lightning, as though he were the sovereign of these lightning dragons.
His electrified gaze swept over the onlookers, only softening slightly when it landed on Li Lei Hu.
As the first thunder calamity struck, the hundreds of lightning dragons began merging with Butcher Li.
With each dragon that merged, his power surged dramatically.
When the second thunder calamity struck, hundreds more lightning dragons emerged from the calamity clouds, joining the merging ranks.
"Spirit Cut, doesn’t this look like a great being mastering the thunder calamity?" Xu Fan said with a grin.
"Absolutely, it’s uncanny," Spirit Cut agreed.
"Rumors say that in the Thousand Worlds, there are supreme beings who can control thunder calamity. So, hold tight to your brother—he’s mightier than you think," Xu Fan said, patting Spirit Cut’s shoulder.
He transmitted this message privately, as it felt inappropriate to say aloud with the son of the thunder calamity great being nearby.
"Don’t worry. Your father is likely the reincarnation of a great being who commands thunder calamity. Overcoming this tribulation is a minor challenge for him," Xu Fan reassured with a smile.
"Grand Elder, if my father is a reincarnated great being, is he still my father?" Li Lei Hu asked, posing a philosophical question.
"Of course! Your father was a great being from birth. No matter how he changes, you’ll always be his son."
"If it were possession, that would be different."
"Then we’d have to distinguish between before and after," Xu Fan explained.
