Chapter 290: Chapter 215: The Majesty of the Good Turtle!_2

Among the murmurs of the crowd, Li Ping’an waited with supreme confidence for his Tiangang Five Peaks Seal spell to crush to death both Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao and that turtle.

After a thunderous boom, everyone saw five Mountain of Magical Power finally press down upon the three that had been stacked together earlier. Had it been any ordinary Taoist sect expert, they would have perished long ago, and even the eldest senior brothers of the Great Cultivation Sects would dare not withstand it directly. Sect Masters of the Four Great Noble Paths and other sects would also need to handle it carefully.

However, when they saw the total of eight Mountains of Magical Power weighing down on the Good Turtle’s back, they noticed that the turtle didn’t even flinch, as if it carried nothing at all on its back, silently bearing the eight mountains that Li Ping’an had conjured.

"What an incredible turtle! What on earth is this thing!"

While Li Ping’an and the other cultivators on site were astonished, they saw the Good Turtle suddenly lift its head, open its mouth wide toward the eight Mountains of Magical Power on its back, and with a single breath, eerily sucked all eight Mountains of Magical Power into its mouth, instantly breaking Li Ping’an’s most proud Tiangang Five Peaks Seal.

"What the hell is going on here?"

This was the first time Li Ping’an had encountered such a situation since he had learned the spell, and he was left gaping and dumbfounded!

However, the next scene shocked everyone present except for Wang Tianran immensely.

After absorbing Li Ping’an’s eight Mountains of Magical Power, the turtle turned its head and exhaled a breath of clear qi toward the body of the gravely injured Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, who lay gasping on the ground.

The breath of clear qi split into two upon contacting Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s body: one stream entered his mouth, and the other encircled his injured body.

A bizarre and miraculous scene unfolded: the moment the two streams of clear qi fully integrated into Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s interior and exterior, he who was pale as death, with broken limbs, shattered organs, drained mana, and on the verge of dying, abruptly stood up.

Not only did he regain his proud demeanor, but all his internal and external injuries were healed, and his mana was restored to its peak.

"What? He’s fully resurrected? This turtle’s ability is even more twisted than mine!"

Li Ping’an, utterly astonished, stared at the Good Turtle that could grow large or small, withstand or heal injuries, and suddenly developed a desire to claim it for himself:

This turtle is amazing; it can even heal others. If I had this thing, when facing formidable opponents in the future, if I get injured, I could have it heal me – wouldn’t that be great? Even if I stop practicing cultivation later, with this turtle’s healing abilities, I could become a famous doctor and amass wealth!

Of course, the most shocked were the sect masters like Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect. After seeing the turtle’s miraculous abilities, the first thing they thought of was the Immeasurable Sect and turned their heads in disbelief to Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, to confront him:

"Junior Brother Taishu, you claimed that Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was not planted by your Immeasurable Sect; now it’s all out in the open, isn’t it?"

"Your Immeasurable Sect is known for taming the world’s Spirit Beasts. This turtle is clearly extraordinary and must be one of the Divine Beasts that guard your sect, Senior Brother Taishu. Do you have anything to say now?"

"Uncle Master Taishu, I thought it was Uncle-master Zhuge who had planted someone. Now it turns out it’s your Immeasurable Sect’s doing, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you are trying to seize both available Imperial Court Offering positions at once? To edge out our Qingyun Sect and dominate wholly as the Immeasurable Sect?"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, immediately retorted:

"What nonsense are you spouting? If my Immeasurable Sect had such a Divine Beast, wouldn’t I just keep it for myself? Why would I reveal it to you all? Do you think I, Taishu Yiqing, am that foolish?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother Taishi Bao of the Cloud Sect thought about it, and it made sense. Such a treasure of the sect would not be casually shown to others, to avoid covetous thoughts. After a moment of silence, they asked again:

"Then tell us, what sort of Divine Beast is this turtle, and how can it be so powerful?"

"Let me observe a bit longer and think..."

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, kept staring at the Good Turtle, unable to conclude what it was, but based on its appearance, he suddenly remembered the legendary Four Great Divine Turtles that his deceased master had mentioned. This Good Turtle seemed to be one of the Four:

"I can’t be certain yet, but I have a bold guess in my mind. Could this turtle be the legendary..."

...

"Li Ping’an! You didn’t see this coming!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao picked up his fallen sword, proudly looking at Li Ping’an as he smugly said:

"You thought you could kill me? Little did you know, I had a cunning plan. In the end, all your efforts are in vain, hahaha!"

"It seems ordinary methods won’t kill you..."

By this point, Li Ping’an no longer considered the Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao a threat. It was only the summoned Good Turtle he feared, but even if the turtle was formidable, it seemed only capable of defense and healing, not invulnerable. Therefore, Li Ping’an decided to publicly and swiftly unleash one of his proudest spells: the Five Thunder Righteous Method!

"Nangong Zhidao, behind you..."

Suddenly, Li Ping’an’s eyes widened in feigned horror as he looked past Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao and shouted:

"So, the one helping you has been right behind you all along! You beast! You’ve finally shown your true colors!"

"Ah? Impossible!"

Deceived by Li Ping’an’s convincing performance and already feeling guilty, Nangong Zhidao didn’t look behind himself first but instead hesitated and looked at his left shoulder, saying:

"There’s nothing..."

Unaware of the ruse, Li Ping’an was puzzled. He clearly directed the deception at Nangong Zhidao’s back, so why did he look at his left shoulder?

However, that was irrelevant. It was a minor detail. The important thing was that his deception was successful. He immediately raised his hand and launched a Palm Thunder at the turned Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao!

With a thunderous boom, a startling thunderbolt flashed across the increasingly dark night sky. This thunderbolt, accompanied by "electricity," moved with rapid brightness, blossoming and dazzling in everyone’s eyes!

"My God! That can’t be Thunder Technique, can it?"

"It seems to be more than just any Thunder Technique!"

"Definitely not! There are only a few sects that use Thunder Magic now, either Thunder Magic Talisman or drawing thunder with a sword. But this is Palm Thunder from Li Ping’an! This is my first time seeing it!"

"The key is that this Thunder Technique seems to have Electric Method in it too. To master Electric Method within Thunder Technique, that’s definitely not something an ordinary cultivator could achieve!"

"Does that mean Li Ping’an’s Cultivation is very high?"

"Exactly! Probably below the sect leaders, but above many of the leading disciples!"

"Heavens! When did Mount Longhu produce such a formidable person?"

"It looks like Li Ping’an will win first place for Mount Longhu in the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master this time!"

"With this display of Thunder Technique, Li Ping’an will surely rise to fame from today onwards!"

...

"Master! Did you see that? Li Ping’an is actually using Thunder Technique! It seems to be the most powerful Five Thunder Righteous Method from the Taoist sects!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Senior Brother Jiao Chujun exclaimed in surprise!

"Eldest Senior Brother, do you think our Master has gone blind? Can’t he see it?"

The second Senior Brother of the Flame Cloud Sect added:

"It is said that the last person from Mount Longhu Zhengyi Taoism who knew the Five Thunder Righteous Method was a Heavenly Master two hundred years ago. The Five Thunder Righteous Method has been lost on Mount Longhu for two hundred years. Where in the world did Li Ping’an learn it from?"

The third and fourth Senior Brothers of the Flame Cloud Sect commented:

"This Li Ping’an seems even more mysterious and unorthodox than Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao!"

"Yes, how could he possibly know the Five Thunder Righteous Method, the epitome of Taoist Thunder Technique?"
