Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#458 - Dragon Turtle

Seeing this, Frog Saint couldn't help but feel smug, laughing loudly and saying with full confidence, "Old Flood Dragon, stop nagging. I told my master long ago that he has a way to take me away, but you just wouldn't believe it. Now you've seen my master's strength, haven't you?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was struck heavily on the head, causing him to turn around in pain. He saw that it was Li Chengfeng's puppet who had done it, and he immediately restrained his arrogant attitude, replacing it with a flattering smile.

Seeing this, Flood Dragon King Xiao Fei was extremely anxious. He wanted to use magic to create a restriction, but he found that he couldn't lock onto the other party at all.

What made his headache even worse was that Li Chengfeng also had two half-step God Transformation protectors with considerable strength. Once they started fighting, the entire Flood Dragon Palace would likely be destroyed, and the Flood Dragon clan would suffer heavy casualties.

He was so anxious that he was covered in sweat. He finally realized that his strength was far from Li Chengfeng's, and his desire for the "Dragon Transformation Technique" became even stronger, but he couldn't bear to part with it.

Just as he was at a loss, the palace suddenly trembled, as if triggering some ancient restriction.

Although this restriction could not completely stop Li Chengfeng, it did cause a slight delay in his teleportation.

This sudden change surprised everyone present, and Flood Dragon King Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, as if he saw a turning point…

Li Chengfeng waved his hand gently, and the light of the formation gradually dissipated. A smile that was not quite a smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he looked at the old flood dragon and said slowly, "That's more like it. If the real decision-maker didn't come forward, how could I, Li Chengfeng, easily negotiate with you?"

Old Flood Dragon Xiao Fei looked incredulous. He thought highly of himself and said, "I am the symbol and totem of the Flood Dragon clan. The outside world says that I am mighty and wise. Why would you think that there is someone else behind me?"

Li Chengfeng chuckled, his eyes flashing with insight: "At first, I also thought that you, Flood Dragon King, were the leader of the Flood Dragon clan, and that you could determine the rise and fall of the clan with a single word.

But seeing you today, you are hesitant and frequently mention that you need to discuss with others when facing choices. To outsiders, this may seem like your cautiousness, but to me, it is proof that you need to seek guidance from a higher level of existence.

Especially when faced with the once-in-a-lifetime temptation of dragon transformation, you are not eager to cooperate, but instead procrastinate. This is definitely not the decision a king of a clan should make. Therefore, I conclude that although you are a king, you are not the ultimate decision-maker."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old laughter echoed in the hall. The gate of the Flood Dragon Palace opened with a bang, and a hunched figure slowly entered.

This person carried a heavy tortoise shell on his back, but his head resembled a dragon's head. Although his limbs were human-shaped, they appeared strange and solemn. It was the legendary Dragon Turtle Elder.

Seeing this, the old abbot of Dizang Temple put his palms together and chanted a low "Amitabha", with a look of awe on his face: "So the legend of the Dragon Turtle is not false. To see your true form today is truly a blessing. Benefactor, it has been a long time."

Li Chengfeng was also shocked. He had not expected that such an ancient and powerful existence was hidden behind the Flood Dragon clan.

The Dragon Turtle Elder walked steadily. Although he seemed to be staggering, in fact, every step contained unfathomable power.

The dragon-headed crutch in his hand was not only a precious spiritual treasure, but also exuded a palpitating pressure. Every time it touched the ground lightly, the entire hall seemed to tremble slightly.

The Dragon Turtle Elder had a kind face, with white eyebrows and a white beard. The dragon horns on his head shone brightly, revealing an extraordinary aura.

He looked at the old abbot of Dizang Temple, a trace of memory flashing in his eyes, and smiled: "I never thought that the little doll who used to fish by the river has now grown into a high monk who can sit on an equal footing with me.

Time flies. Although I have experienced thousands of years, my cultivation seems to have stagnated. I am truly ashamed."

As he said that, he shook his head gently, but there was no trace of frustration on his face.

The old abbot of Dizang Temple quickly put his palms together and returned the salute, chanting the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, senior is too modest. If it were not for the restrictions of the human realm, the road to ascension would have been unimpeded long ago. Senior would definitely be able to go further and reach a realm that we cannot reach.

This little monk's achievements today are all thanks to senior's guidance back then. How dare I show off here."

At this time, Flood Dragon King Xiao Fei also respectfully came to the Dragon Turtle Elder's side, supporting his arm, with a flattering and awe-filled expression on his face, and said: "This little dragon's actions were not well-considered, disturbing senior's quiet cultivation. I deserve to die. Please punish me, senior."

The Dragon Turtle Elder smiled faintly and waved his hand: "Don't blame you for this. It's just that you met an opponent like Li Chengfeng.

He has a deep understanding of our Flood Dragon clan, and he is meticulous and intelligent.

My coming out of seclusion this time is not for the sake of a struggle for interests, nor is it to investigate the past, but to discuss the Great Dao with this young friend. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng quickly bowed and said humbly, "Senior is too kind. What virtue or ability do I have to discuss the Great Dao with senior?

Please do not hesitate to enlighten me. I did offend you a lot this time. If I had known that Dragon Turtle Senior was here, I would have thought twice before acting."

The Dragon Turtle Elder laughed loudly, his voice like a bell, shaking the hall: "You don't have to be so modest.

I have long heard about your strength and potential.

Especially the Dragon Seal incident, which made me look at you with admiration.

At my age, what I value is no longer seniority, but the potential and achievements of the younger generation.

Perhaps what our generation has failed to accomplish will be realized in your hands."

Li Chengfeng immediately said solemnly: "Senior, don't say that. We juniors still need your guidance.

Although I have some unique insights on cultivation techniques, I still seem immature in front of you.

I was indeed reckless this time. Please forgive me, senior."

The Dragon Turtle responded with a smile: "Since that's the case, if you trust this old man, why don't we two discuss the Dao alone, and let the others rest in the hall.

My Flood Dragon Clan will definitely treat them with fine wine and delicacies. Let's discuss the Dao for seven days, and then talk about cooperation after seven days, how about that?"

The Dragon Turtle's gaze was kind, without the slightest hint of killing intent. However, the old abbot of Dizang Temple was filled with memories. He had met the Dragon Turtle once.

Back then, he was just a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old fisherman who didn't understand the way of cultivation. When he went out to sea to fish, he encountered a sea beast and was on the verge of death.

He fought desperately, but couldn't escape his doom, and instead fell into danger. Fortunately, the Dragon Turtle took action, blowing away the sea beast in one breath, saving him from danger, leaving only the words "See you again if we are destined" before leaving.

Since then, although his strength had greatly increased, he had searched the sea, but had never been able to see the Dragon Turtle again. He had always thought in his heart that the Dragon Turtle was no longer in this world. Now that they had reunited, he realized how short-sighted he had been back then.

Facing his life-saving benefactor, the old monk's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both grateful and worried.

If the Dragon Turtle used this to threaten him, forcing him to stand on the side of the Flood Dragon Clan, what should he do?

Fortunately, the Dragon Turtle didn't seem to mention the past, and was only interested in Li Chengfeng. But the old monk was still worried about Li Chengfeng's safety, not knowing what the Dragon Turtle was up to.

Seeing this, Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and comforted him: "You can rest assured and talk here, I am willing to discuss the Dao with senior for seven days.

I believe senior will not harm me."

Although he said so, he had already made complete preparations in his heart. This trip to the Flood Dragon Clan, meeting the Dragon Turtle was both an opportunity and a challenge, but the opportunity was greater than the risk.

If he could deal with it properly, Li Chengfeng would be invincible.
