The process of the divine turtle gathering spiritual energy went smoothly, taking only a little over a month.
However, to Chu Yang's surprise, the Divine Turtle True Spirit did not directly complete its fifth evolution as he had expected, nor did it surpass the other three True Spirits to break through to the sixth level and reach the Saint-grade realm.
The evolution progress bar of the Divine Turtle True Spirit remains at around 70% of the fifth level, without any significant increase.
However, the true spirit of the divine turtle has undergone earth-shattering changes.
The current Divine Turtle Spirit is more like the legendary Xuanwu than a true divine turtle.
The black tortoise body and the jade-white serpent coiled around it seem somewhat incongruous, yet they give one a sense of inextricable connection.
Although the turtle's eyes had become much more lively, clearly indicating the emergence of intelligence, it still gave off a rather dim-witted feeling, reminding Chu Yang of a sled dog known for its good looks but low intelligence.
On the contrary, the serpent's eyes were deep and wise, and its gaze toward Chu Yang was extremely complex.
Goddess of the Luo River!
Although Chu Yang was surprised, he could guess the reason for the change in the Divine Turtle's true spirit.
The combination of the divine tortoise and the remnant soul of the goddess Luo allowed it to successfully gather spiritual energy.
The primordial power of the Luo River source and the supreme sea of the Luo River caused the true spirit of the divine turtle to undergo a fundamental transformation.
This is similar to some kind of genetic mutation, but at least it's developing in a positive direction.
"You lied to me?" A clear, ethereal voice rang out, tinged with a hint of grievance.
Chu Yang blinked and shrugged, saying, "Senior Luo Shen, this is slander!"
"Of the two conditions I previously proposed, I have already fulfilled my promise to revive you, and in the future, I will surely wipe out the evil race from beyond the realm."
"So how could I be lying to you?"
The serpent looked down at the divine tortoise, then at its own body. "Is this the resurrection you spoke of?"
"Let me be your pet?"
That being said, her tone sounded more like a complaint.
From the moment he completely merged with the divine tortoise's true spirit, whether Luo Shen was willing to admit it or not, Chu Yang became her master, and in an inseparable way.
Because the Four Sacred Spirits were originally a part of Chu Yang, although they have now transformed into physical forms, and three of them even possess intelligence, they still rely on Chu Yang for their existence.
Once Chu Yang falls, they too will vanish into thin air.
It is precisely for this reason that the four sacred spirits all have a kind of closeness and submission to Chu Yang that comes from blood and soul.
Luo Shen sighed and said, "So be it. Now that I've been given a second chance at life, let's say goodbye to everything from the past!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a faint light suddenly emanated from the spirit snake's body, and then its figure transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman in a white dress.
The woman bowed gracefully to Chu Yang and said, "Master..."
Looking at the goddess Luo on the back of the divine tortoise, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "She truly deserves to be the number one beauty in the Great Immortal Realm!"
Chu Yang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your situation is rather special, unlike Ao Ting and Huo Ling, you are relatively more independent."
"Moreover, your soul power is very strong, making you more suitable for the path of spirit arrays."
After saying that, he directly instructed Pangu to pass on all kinds of knowledge about spirit arrays, as well as the basic spirit arrays evolved from arrays, to Luo Shen.
"After the fifth evolution is completed, I will separate Ao Ting Fire Spirit from you and me, and let each of us travel in the Great Thousand Worlds."
Chu Yang said softly, "With the Spirit Ascension Technique, you have almost no upper limit to your growth. How far you can evolve depends on your own abilities."
Luo Shen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Regarding the Qilin True Spirit's condensation of its origin and gathering of spiritual energy, perhaps I can offer some assistance..."
"Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Since Ao Ting was born, he had realized that if he kept using the Spirit Ascension Technique to make the Four Saints True Spirits evolve, no matter how much they evolved, they would ultimately just be “battle tools” in his hands.
After successfully gathering the spirits, it means that the four sacred spirits will have independent consciousness and autonomous thinking, and will no longer need him to distract him and control them.
As the Origin Martial Body solidified into a physical form, the Four Sacred Spirits became living beings in the truest sense.
But there is still a crucial question: the origin!
The Four Sacred Spirits are part of Chu Yang's body. Even if they successfully gather spiritual energy and transform into physical form, they still need to rely on his power.
In short, what was consumed during the battle was Chu Yang's Origin Qi.
However, at present, only the Qilin True Spirit remains in this stage.
Ao Ting is the product of the fusion of the Divine Dragon's True Spirit and the mutated Nine Profound Golden Thunder. The Nine Profound Golden Thunder became his independent source, so even without relying on Chu Yang's source energy, he has the ability to fight independently.
The Fire Spirit's origin is the Emperor's Flame, while the Goddess of the Luo River's origin is the product of the fusion of the Luo River's origin and her Supreme Sea during her lifetime.
Compared to Huo Ling and Ao Ting, Luo Shen has an additional advantage: soul power.
As a former peak Saint-level expert, even with a new soul formed from her remaining will, her soul power is still very strong, reaching the Immortal-level.
Moreover, unlike her physical body and origin, she can cultivate her soul power independently, making it stronger and stronger.
That's why Chu Yang wanted her to pursue the path of spirit arrays.
Now that the three sacred spirits have all undergone a fundamental transformation, even Chu Yang is at a loss as to how to deal with the Qilin spirit.
The Qilin's true spirit has a high compatibility; many special forces in the world can serve as its origin.
However, Chu Yang has always been a man of quality over quantity, which means he doesn't want weaker forces, and he can't find any that meet his standards.
Luo Shen pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the Immortal Emperor had a fortuitous opportunity when he was young."
"This led him down an unusual path. When he was in the Divine Soul Realm, he did not refine the spirit beast's essence, but instead used a secret method to nurture a special creature."
"As his cultivation improved, that being also became stronger."
"In the end, even at the peak of my life, I was no match for that creature."
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, lost in thought, waiting for the next part to continue.
Luo Shen continued, "That being possessed the bloodline power of the Immortal Emperor, and combined with its own characteristics, it became an immortal being."
"However, with the fall of the Immortal Emperor, it also lost all its power, but I am certain that it is still alive!"
"I'm afraid even the Heavenly Evil God wouldn't be able to truly kill it!"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "In that case, it is indeed quite compatible with the true spirit of the Qilin."
"But times have changed now, so you probably don't know where it is either, right?"
Luo Shen said with certainty, "If the Immortal Emperor has descendants still alive, they will definitely know the whereabouts of that being!"
"Moreover, that being exists in reliance on the Immortal Emperor, much like the relationship between us."
"So it probably won't be far from the place where the Immortal Emperor fell!"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up. If one were to search for a special creature that almost no one had ever heard of in the vast world, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But now that we have clear clues, things will be much easier.
Composing himself, Chu Yang smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go meet the Western Heaven War Emperor!"
"With the power of the Western Continent, I believe we can help you complete the fifth stage of evolution in one fell swoop."
It is impossible for the power of a single continent to enable the Four Sacred Spirits to complete an evolution directly.
However, the progress of the fifth level of the Spirit Ascension Technique had already reached 70%, and now it was just one step away from completion.
The Western Continent has accumulated enough power over hundreds of years.
Luo Shen nodded gently, then transformed into a stream of light and directly entered Chu Yang's dantian.
Chu Yang understood her perfectly and knew that Luo Shen did not intend to face future generations in her current form.
However, he speculated that after the Four Sacred Spirits completed their fifth evolution, when they entered the sixth level of the Ascension Technique, they would likely possess the ability to transform into human form.
After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, magical beasts at the Dou Zong level can transform into human form. Although the Four Saint True Spirits are special, it would be quite unreasonable if they couldn't transform even after reaching the Saint Rank level...
Chu Yang left the underground world, but the lake formed by the Supreme Sea of Luoshen still existed, and a part of the source of the Luo River also remained.
However, compared to before, both are much weaker, with most of their power merged into the divine turtle's true spirit.
This was clearly done intentionally by the goddess Luo, in order to leave some blessings for future generations.
Since Chu Yang entered Luohe, Luo Qingyun has been keeping a close eye on the situation there.
He happened to be guarding his daughter at the city gate at all times, so it was a win-win situation.
He took Chu Yang's words to heart because he was now certain that the young powerhouse was likely an even stronger being than the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
Such a person's every word and action is purposeful.
Since Chu Yang said that his entry into the Luo River might damage the river's source, Luo Qingyun was naturally a little nervous.
However, more than a month has passed, and the Luo River remains calm and peaceful, without any abnormalities, which makes him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, an incident that occurred three days ago has caused him to worry once again.
The Luoshen Festival!
Every member of the Luoshen clan who performs the Luoshen Festival will experience various unusual phenomena in the Luo River if they successfully resonate with it.
In a sense, these images can be considered an assessment of the talents of these descendants by the ancestral goddess Luo.
Three days ago, when a young member of the royal family performed the Luoshen Festival, the Luo River displayed strange phenomena, but those phenomena were extremely illusory, as if they were about to give way.
This was something that had never happened before, and Luo Qingyun knew very well that it had nothing to do with that junior, but rather that Luo He had a problem!
