Kong Bo scanned Zi Ji with the Crimson Moon while being held in her arms, contemplating the need for a spirit ring with a very high age limit.
Now that he had the architecture for a spirit ring, he needed a lot of energy.
Where would that energy come from?
“Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has already been taken by Huo Yuhao, so where can I find a large amount of energy?” Kong Bo thought to himself.
“Should I beg the Gu Yuena for a piece of life essence gold?
Forget it, forget it…”
Thinking of this, Kong Bo’s eyes lit up.
“Got it!
Buried in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, there isn’t just the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, there’s also the Golden Tortoise.
Yes, I’ve found the source of energy for my first spirit ring.
It will be you, Golden Tortoise.”
This Golden Tortoise was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.
In the original story, it benefited Xu Sanshi, and its spirit soul was this Golden Tortoise.
Kong Bo intended to use this Golden Tortoise to provide energy for his first spirit ring; it should be able to provide enough energy for a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Not long after, Zi Ji opened her eyes, released Kong Bo, and stretched.
Kong Bo mentally gave a thumbs up; Zi Ji really took good care of him.
“Wow, Kong Bo, you’re awake?” Zi Ji said.
“After you fell asleep last night, those three moons of yours were spinning in the sky, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth—it seemed to be the energy of moonlight.
Then, your Crimson Moon kept shining on me.”
“Alright, Sister Zi Ji, take a moment to feel it.
Do you feel anything different now?” Kong Bo asked.
Zi Ji sensed for a moment, then shook her head.
“There is nothing unusual.”
Then, Zi Ji picked up Kong Bo, still in a bridal carry.
Whatever spirit beast you want for your first spirit ring, the beast god will get it for you.”
After Zi Ji brought Kong Bo out, Di Tian was waiting outside.
“Kong Bo, what kind of spirit ring do you want?”
“Beast God Senior, this Junior has indeed set his sights on a spirit beast, but I will have to trouble the Beast God Senior to go to the bottom of the Lake of Life to investigate.
There is a Golden Tortoise at the bottom of the lake.
Please help me bring it over.
If possible, I would also like to ask you all to help persuade it to sacrifice itself for me.”
“There is a Golden Tortoise at the bottom of the Lake of Life?” Di Tian frowned.
“Kong Bo, is what you said true?
Why can’t I sense it?”
“beast god, according to the regulations of our leader, you are supposed to go down to the bottom of the lake to investigate every 50,000 years, but the last investigation was 10,000 years ago, and you were sleeping,” Bi Ji reminded him.
“I remember clearly that when you woke up, you only used your Divine Sense to check the bottom of the lake and then went back to sleep.
However, tortoises or other turtle-type spirit beasts are very secretive in water.
But turtle-type spirit beasts are slow, so it can’t run away.
Why don’t you go down and take a look?”
“Alright,” Di Tian said, then dove into the Lake of Life and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
About an hour later, a huge Black Dragon rushed out of the lake, his dragon mouth seeming to hold something.
Then, Di Tian landed on the ground and threw what he was holding in his mouth onto the ground, subsequently transforming into human form.
The thing Di Tian brought out was quite large and also very beautiful.
It was a turtle with a golden body.
The golden turtle shell was not only dazzling but also looked as if it had a very thick cuticle.
The gold color of the turtle shell was extremely uniform and deep, and the color in every texture of the turtle shell was dark gold, without any flaws.
It had three ridges on it, and the overall shape was not the oval shape of a turtle, but slightly triangular.
There were also several whisker-like ridges on the lower jaw.
The entire head was dark gold, and the closer to the jaw, the brighter it became.
“It really is a Golden Tortoise!” Bi Ji said.
“Kong Bo, this is the best of the turtle spirit beasts, like a royal family among turtle spirit beasts.”
“I didn’t expect there to be such a tortoise at the bottom of the pool!” Di Tian said, then looked at the Golden Tortoise fiercely.
“Little Tortoise, you have quite some nerve, daring to eat things at the bottom of the lake that you shouldn’t have.
What should I do with you?”
“beast god, I have nothing more to say, please do it quickly!” the Golden Tortoise said, trembling.
Kong Bo twitched his lips upon hearing this—are you a tortoise acting like a tragic lover here?
“No, no, no, I won’t do it,” Di Tian said.
“See this human child?
You, sacrifice yourself to him.”
“I…
I sacrifice myself to a human?” The Golden Tortoise looked at Kong Bo.
“beast god, you want me to sacrifice myself to a human?”
“That’s right,” Di Tian said.
“If you sacrifice yourself to this child, I will wipe the slate clean regarding you stealing things from the bottom of the lake.”
The Golden Tortoise could be considered royalty among turtles, and this Golden Tortoise had great ambition.
The reason it went to the bottom of the Lake of Life was that this Golden Tortoise wanted to Cultivate to a Realm of over 200,000 years, and even replace Di Tian to rule the Star Dou Great Forest with the Golden Tortoise clan.
So, when Di Tian almost sensed it, it directly ate a piece of life essence gold and swallowed it.
