Chapter 682: Chapter 522: Profound Armor Old Turtle, Wraith Tea
“I calculated no less than a thousand possibilities, and the end of the Star Sea World was always a scorched wasteland…”
A voice seemingly from ancient times was transmitted from the mountainous body.
“But who would have thought, three thousand years ago, young friend, you rose from obscurity, swept across Qingtian, unifying the Star Sea.”
“And then you led the then-doomed Star Sea World to completely annihilate the Demon Race, which terrified all the heavens and myriad realms, on the realm battlefield…”
“Meeting you today, you are indeed extraordinary!”
The powerful voice descended. Though it did not intentionally release pressure, the immense force made Qi Ping feel almost suffocatingly uncomfortable.
“To wield power naturally without anger, is this the strength of a Mahayana Stage cultivator?” Qi Ping was deeply shocked within.
At this moment, he understood that if it weren’t for the rule that eradicates all Mahayana Stage existences, the Star Sea World would probably have no chance to struggle.
However, if it weren’t for this strange rule, the Star Sea World wouldn’t have ended up in this situation either.
“Senior Profound Turtle, you’re too kind. Getting to today was also due to much luck and help from others…” Qi Ping shook his head, not attributing all the credit to himself.
Too many people died in that battle.
Because of the Emperor Druid, he could almost feel the will to fight to the death of every living being in the Star Sea and their determination and thoughts before falling.
If it weren’t for these people, the entire Star Sea World would have long turned into ruins, and he might also not have escaped death.
He simply could not claim all these achievements as his own.
And the complex and regretful look in Qi Ping’s eyes fell into the view of this Mahayana Stage Profound Turtle.
It didn’t reply immediately but instead fell silent, carefully observing the expression on Qi Ping’s face.
A while later, the pressure on Qi Ping disappeared like a receding tide, finally vanishing without a trace.
Then, a flash of brilliance passed by, and the Mahayana Stage Profound Turtle’s mountainous body dissipated, transforming into a hunchbacked, humanoid old turtle much like Qi Ping.
Like an ordinary old man, it slowly and unhurriedly walked to Qi Ping.
With a wave of its hand, it melted the bones on the ground into a white bone table and a White Bone Tea Pot, making a pot of blood-red tea for Qi Ping.
“Young friend, please have tea!”
Qi Ping looked at the tea in front of him, which seemed normal, with a surprised glance at the Profound Armor full of ancient aura.
He did not think this was merely a simple cup of tea.
Because through the All Things Druid’s extremely keen perception, he felt wailing, bloodiness, slaughter, and malice in this cup of tea…
Yet he didn’t hesitate in the slightest and directly drank the cup of red tea in one go…
In an instant, countless terrifying thoughts rushed into Qi Ping’s consciousness like a bursting flood!
Among them were even violent thoughts at the Mahayana Stage level!
Intense pain immediately swept across Qi Ping’s consciousness!
As if a fierce beast pounced to consume him, and swallowed him whole…
As if countless worms and ants crawled over his body, biting and gnawing at him…
Mysterious tentacles took root within him, with countless vengeful spirits emerging from his soul…
Intense pain, rage, resentment…an array of emotions rose instantly, trying to completely tear Qi Ping’s consciousness apart!
Cold sweat almost immediately oozed from Qi Ping’s forehead, his body shivering uncontrollably, as sinister bloody marks swiftly spread over his body, as if on the verge of shattering completely!
And facing this situation, the Profound Armor old turtle calmly looked on, this scene was already within its expectations.
But very quickly, a look of shock appeared on its expressionless face!
In just a few moments, Qi Ping’s complexion and body began to calm, the bloody marks on him gradually lessening and healing…
After less than ten breaths, Qi Ping once again opened his eyes.
“Good tea, very potent! Thank you, Senior Profound Armor, for the hospitality!”
At this moment, his eyes were calm.
However, the battle within Qi Ping’s divine soul was still continuing, the red tea clinging to his divine soul like a leech, with no telling how many ages it would take to completely purge it.
Yet Qi Ping showed no worry whatsoever, having endured the initial impact, the remaining benefits would refine his will to a new level, and all the attacks he endured would transform into his new weapons.
In a sense, this was absolutely a precious spiritual object nonexistent in the Star Sea World.
The only drawback was, if one couldn’t endure it, their will and body would be completely destroyed. Even if Qi Ping was just a spirit body, his will would suffer immense damage.
“What’s the name of this tea?” Qi Ping asked.
The expression of the Profound Armor old turtle returned to normal, and it spoke in a gentle tone:
“Grievance Tea, born from a super battlefield steeped in countless ages, requiring Mahayana Stage blood essence as a guide. Throughout the Forest Sea Demon Realm’s history, only five portions have appeared. You truly have the courage to drink it without asking!”
At this, a look of surprise appeared again in the eyes of the Profound Armor old turtle.
“How could I decline when a senior offers? But wasn’t the senior afraid I’d fail to endure it, wasting this fine tea?”
With this, Qi Ping was quite puzzled.
If he couldn’t endure it, not only would such a precious spiritual object be wasted, the precious elixir trade sought by the Forest Sea Demon Realm might fall through too.
As such, the loss would not be insignificant.
Facing Qi Ping’s query, the Profound Armor old turtle shook its head, laughing softly:
“I’ve never cared about the gain or loss of one thing. If you can’t even endure the Grievance Tea, this cooperation with the Forest Sea Demon Realm might as well not happen!”
“Let me ask you a question:” the Profound Armor old turtle said.
“If your world was besieged by packs of wolves, and this moment coincidentally birthed a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year super genius, who one day encountered life-threatening danger, would you save them or not?”
“Save them!” Qi Ping pondered for a while and confidently answered: “Senior’s answer is not to save?”
“You are indeed clever!”
“Why?”
“Because I once intervened with countless such geniuses, but each one either died mysteriously or couldn’t even break through the Integration Stage…”
“Then, I ceased interference, and this instead brought forth several Mahayana Stage youngsters, some of whom weren’t even those geniuses, but rather were the ones who led to the geniuses’ downfall…yet whenever I interfere, not a single Mahayana Stage arises. Strange, isn’t it?”
“This…” Hearing these words, Qi Ping furrowed his brow, falling into contemplation.
Why on earth is this?
Seeing Qi Ping deep in thought, the Profound Armor old turtle didn’t wait for his response and continued:
“Later, I gradually discovered I was too arrogant. I thought my power reached the heavens, the past, present, and future were undeniable, like the little ones you sent to the Forest Sea Demon Realm, which I know like the back of my hand…”
“Sadly, it turns out I’m just an old man who lived a bit longer and knows a little more.”
“Is a genius destined to become a Mahayana? Is the future bound to be powerful? Who can prove the ant can’t shake Qingtian?”
“Forcibly intervening with others’ fate and karma only courts backlash and often ends up counterproductive…”
“In truth, I’m ashamed to say, until today, meeting you and learning all about the Star Sea World, I finally caught a glimpse of the truth of fate, understanding what it means to flow with the heavens…”
