Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 32 The Black Tortoise Pleads for Help, Tongtian Guarantees

The sudden sound interrupted Taiyi and the others.

Even those who had arrived at Zhou Mountain, completed the sacrificial ceremony, and were about to leave mostly stopped in their tracks.

Taiichi turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

But they discovered a somewhat ethereal figure shouting loudly at the foot of Zhou Mountain!

"Who is this guy! How dare he disturb the God Ancestor! I'll go and kill him!" Bai Ze said from Taiyi's team.

At the same time, we must descend the mountain and annihilate that illusory figure!

"Wait," Taiyi waved his hand, stopping Bai Ze. Killing someone to silence them was something that could only be done when no one was around. With so many people watching, it had to be done in a respectable and honorable way.

"Kunpeng, go and bring that person here. I guarantee his safety!" Taiyi said to Kunpeng.

"As you command," Kunpeng bowed respectfully, then quickly headed down the mountain.

The Kunpeng is extremely fast!

They swooped down and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

From afar, they heard Kunpeng roar, "Old tortoise, it's you!"

"You scraggly bird!" The other's voice came out, but it was grabbed by Kunpeng's claws, and Kunpeng laughed as it returned to the mountain peak.

"Reporting to the Divine Ancestor, the messenger has arrived. This fellow is a part of the primordial spirit of the North Sea Black Tortoise," Kunpeng released the illusory figure and replied to Taiyi.

"The Black Tortoise of the North Sea?" Taiyi pondered for a moment. This Black Tortoise of the North Sea was a giant tortoise that lived in the North Sea. It belonged to the reserve force of Zhou Shan, as designated by the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, it has always been difficult for it to take human form! This giant tortoise is incredibly huge, occupying almost a quarter of the North Sea!

He had been living in a daze, yet he managed to come to Zhou Mountain today!

"Black Tortoise, what brings you to Zhou Mountain to find me?" Taiyi looked at the Black Tortoise and asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Divine Ancestor, I was originally in a daze, my mind unclear. However, after the great battle at Zhou Mountain some time ago, my mind suddenly became much clearer, and I am no longer in a daze. I know that if this continues, my body will continue to grow larger, and I will not have the chance to completely transform. I don't know when I will die. Therefore, I have heard of the great name of the Divine Lord and have come to ask for help. I hope that the Divine Lord can help me transform." The figure of the Xuan Turtle was somewhat illusory. The pressure from the top of Zhou Mountain was too great. He insisted on finishing these words and there was a tendency for him to dissipate.

"Condense!" Seeing that the Xuan Turtle's primordial spirit was in danger, Kunpeng was the first to come to its aid. With the support of a water-attribute magical power, the Xuan Turtle's primordial spirit stabilized.

Taiyi glanced at Kunpeng in surprise, not expecting that this guy would actually take action for the Xuan Turtle. This changed Taiyi's attitude towards Kunpeng.

Taiyi didn't ask about the relationship between Kunpeng and Xuan Turtle, as he was currently checking on Xuan Turtle's condition.

This primordial spirit is far too weak! At this moment, the Xuan Turtle's physical energy is incredibly powerful, at least at the late Quasi-Saint level, making it an unparalleled existence. However, its primordial spirit is extremely weak, even weaker than that of a Celestial Immortal.

The physical body is strong, but the spirit is weak. The spirit cannot unify the energy of the whole body, so it is naturally unable to take human form.

To help or not to help?

Of course we should help!

The Xuan Turtle possesses immense potential, and subduing it would be a great asset. Furthermore, the Xuan Turtle just referred to itself as a minor deity; while there might be some ulterior motive, Taiyi could understand.

"I can help you, but I can't help you for nothing. I need your reward!" Taiyi looked at the Xuan Turtle and said softly.

Upon hearing that Taiyi was willing to help, the Black Tortoise's small eyes lit up with excitement. "As long as the Divine Lord is willing to help, this humble god is willing to go through fire and water for the Divine Lord!"

"I don't need you to go through fire and water. I just need you to contribute to the divine path. Today, I have used up a lot of merit and fortune to help you. After you take human form, you will have to repay me double!" Taiyi looked at the primordial spirit of the Xuan Turtle and said.

Double the repayment! The conditions are a bit harsh.

But the Xuan Turtle didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't even mention double, even ten times, I would agree!" The Xuan Turtle only wanted to transform into human form at this moment, and as for the karma it owed, it could deal with that later.

"I don't need ten times, double will do. But now the problem is, how can I be sure you can repay me double? What if you can't?" Taiyi's question startled Xuan Gui!

This question left his smiling mind a little bewildered!

"This, this, this~" The black tortoise stammered, not knowing what to do.

"We will follow the instructions of the Divine Ancestor!" Kunpeng said from the side.

The black tortoise finally realized what was happening!

"Please give your command, Divine Ancestor, and the Black Tortoise will respond without fail!"

Tai Yi laughed. The Kunpeng and the Xuan Turtle really have a good relationship. Actually, as both are overlord-level creatures of the North Sea, they must know each other.

The only difference is that the black tortoise didn't have intelligence before, but it does now.

Kunpeng's view of Xuan Turtle is like watching the neighbor's silly child suddenly become enlightened; it always gives one the illusion of being the parent.

"I need you to find someone to act as your guarantor. If you can't repay it, then the guarantor will repay the merits and fortune you owe!" Taiyi said to the Xuan Turtle.

"Find someone to vouch for me?" the Xuan Turtle murmured, while subconsciously glancing at the Kunpeng.

Throughout the heavens, atop Mount Zhou, he only knew one Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng won't do. He was originally my subordinate and vouched for you. In the end, I'll be the one to complicate things. This is unacceptable." Kunpeng wanted to get up, but Taiyi stopped him.

With just a few words, Kunpeng Guarantee's path was blocked.

At this moment, the Xuan Turtle was somewhat confused. He looked towards the summit of Zhou Mountain, where there were many cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists, is there anyone willing to vouch for me? I would be eternally grateful!" The Xuan Turtle's primordial spirit bowed deeply to the crowd and shouted to them.

In the crowd, all was quiet; people looked at each other and spoke, but no one answered.

"Is there anyone here willing to vouch for me?" Xuan Gui's voice was heavy, his eyes filled with longing.

However, no one in the crowd was willing to answer.

"I, Xuan Gui, have lived a life of ignorance and confusion. Today I have gained intelligence, yet no one is willing to give me a glimmer of hope. Is it truly my destiny to die?" Xuan Gui cried out helplessly, his face full of sorrow.

That scene perfectly captured the helplessness of a seeker of truth.

"I'll vouch for you!" A voice rang out from the crowd, full of determination and vigor.

Upon hearing this voice, Taiichi's lips visibly curled into a smile! "Finally, they've taken the bait."

At this moment, Tongtian walked up to Xuan Gui's side from the crowd and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Taiyi, saying, "I am willing to vouch for Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui!"

"Good, good, good!" Taiyi's eyes were full of admiration as he said "good" three times in a row. "Since Tongtian is willing to vouch for you, everything will be easy. Please come with us to the Heavenly Court's secret realm so we can discuss the treatment plan together!"
