With the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, Lin Yan easily dived into the water.
At this moment, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was only more than a hundred meters long and wide, equivalent to the size of a field.
Therefore, Lin Yan only swam along the sh.e.l.l for a short while before seeing a few human-sized, barrel-shaped aquatic creatures in the black water clinging to a corner of the turtle sh.e.l.l under the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
They looked a little like the barnacles he had seen in his previous life. They were long. Other than the hard sh.e.l.l that was stuck to the surface, there were also soft parts that were exposed below.
Lin Yan was wearing the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, so these giant barnacles couldn’t discover him at all. Hence, he approached and took out a Savage Flame saber. He followed the root and pried it in.
The Savage Flame saber was extremely sharp and easily cut off the barnacle. However, the barnacle that was cut off spat out a ball of water behind it and surged up again, adhering to the sh.e.l.l of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
Lin Yan tried a few times in a row, but the barnacles shot up and stuck to him again.
“I’m sure that these barnacles don’t have much intelligence…”
Lin Yan didn’t rashly kill these barnacles, mainly because he was worried that he would attract the attention of the Divine General and cause more trouble.
Since he was sure that barnacles did not have intelligence, Lin Yan pressed his palm on the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s carapace and first gave her a notification before stabbing into her carapace!
The carapace was very thick. Lin Yan deliberately stabbed a little deeper to make the blood flow out of the wound.
He also used the Formless True Self to create the Spirit Turtle Clone again!
One move was all it took to confuse a Divine General. It had to be the Spirit Turtle Clone!
After creating two clones like this, Lin Yan casually wiped the Essence Origin Holy Flame and healed the wound of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
Then, he pried off the barnacle again. However, this time, when the barnacle was about to stick to the surface again, he directly controlled the Spirit Turtle Clone to replace the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, letting it be stuck to the barnacle!
The barnacles had no intelligence. They attached themselves to the spirit turtle clone and did not have any reaction. Instead, because the aura of the spirit turtle clone was confirmed, they completely settled down.
However, barnacles were not much smaller than the spirit turtle clone. Lin Yan could only grab the tail of the spirit turtle clone and pry off the barnacles one by one before placing them onto the spirit turtle clone.
It wasn’t until the two spirit turtle clones were covered in the barnacles from top to bottom that Lin Yan let go. Under the effect of gravity, the two spirit turtles immediately fell deeper.
After communicating with the two clones, Lin Yan tried to control the two Spirit Turtle clones to continue swimming in the direction of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. Although their speed was abnormally slow due to the weight of the barnacles, they were still moving.
Then, he quickly returned to the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body and turned around again to run!
“Alright, that Divine General was indeed distracted by my Spirit Turtle clone and stopped chasing after us!”
“That’s great!”
The little golden turtle did a backflip again.
Lin Yan’s expression was indeed solemn, and he didn’t relax at all. “We only dodged it once. 1 wonder how many other similar methods that Divine General has and how many servants he has. If this continues, there will be a time when he catches up to us!”
The little golden turtle swam in a panic and circled a few times. “Then what should we do?”
“The best way is to find a place to hide first! However, this place has to be difficult for the Divine General to track. There won’t be any sea creatures like just now. Do you know such a place?”
The small golden turtle swam around Lin Yan and then Old Qin’s head. After a while, it suddenly said, “Yes! There are indeed some such places! Once you enter, even Divine Generals can’t track you!”
“Then hurry up and go!”
“It’s just that…” The little golden turtle hesitated. “1 can enter those places, but you can’t. Moreover, once we enter, it won’t be easy to come out. It’ll take at least a month or even two years to come out!”
“What is this place?”
“Spiritual Realm Fragment!”
“What is that?”
“It’s a fragment of the Spiritual Realm in the past era!” The small golden turtle swam and said, “Before the spirituality of the world was cut off, other than the real world, there was a Spiritual Realm in higher dimensions!
“Just like the Spiritual Realm established by my Treasure Image previously, it’s a world between nothingness and reality.
“Later on, after the spirituality of the world was severed, the Spiritual Realm completely shattered and returned to nothingness.
“Only some desolate fragments remain.
“I happened to encounter two of them and know the location of the entrance. If 1 hide inside, even that divine general shouldn’t be able to find me.”
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “Is there spirituality of the world among these spiritual realm fragments?!”
The little golden turtle nodded and said, “Yes! It’s precisely because there’s spirituality of the world sealed inside that those spiritual realm fragments can always be stabilized!
“1 know what you want to say, but you have to at least condense a Spiritual Image seed to enter the Spiritual Realm World!
“This is an iron law since ancient times! Otherwise, you will be excluded by the Spiritual Realm!”
Lin Yan said in a low voice, “But there was no such rule in the Spiritual Realm established by your Treasure Image previously!”
The little golden turtle said, “That’s because 1 don’t have the ability to set such rules.
“I can only control my Treasure Image, but I can’t control the Spiritual Realm created by the Treasure Image. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have been invaded and parasitized by those Gadfly Kings.”
“What’s the relationship between Treasure Image and the Spiritual Realm?”
“Treasure Image is the power of the combination of the Spiritual Image and the Heart Image. It’s a power that transcends reality.
“Therefore, the appearance of the Treasure Image will also distort the real world and open up a new dimension outside the real world, which is the Spiritual Realm.”
Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, “So the Spiritual Realm is actually a world produced by the Treasure Image, but it’s uncontrollable?
“It’s as if the power of the Treasure Image has radiated out and opened up a world on the surface of the real world?”
Lin Yan opened his palm, and a pitch-black membrane of Savage Flame appeared. Then, at a point on the membrane, a bubble ball expanded, indicating that the Treasure Image had opened the Spiritual Realm.
The golden turtle circled the membrane ball and praised, “What you said… is even more vivid than what 1 said! I’m not sure, but that’s probably what it means!”
“Then here’s the problem.” Lin Yan retracted his wrist. “What about the Spiritual Realm? How was the Spiritual Realm produced?”
The little golden turtle was stuck.
However, Old Qin, who was at the side, casually interrupted, “How else could it be produced? I think it must be produced by the Treasure Image!”
However, in the next moment, Lin Yan and the golden turtle turned to look at him with strange gazes.
“Hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that!”
Old Qin hurriedly stood up and hid in a corner.
The little golden turtle said in confusion, “The Spiritual Realm is as big as a real planet! If it’s really produced by a Treasure Image… Then how big is such a Treasure Image?”
Everyone was speechless. Lin Yan once again felt the unknown and confusion of the world, as well as the feeling of infinite insignificance.
After a while, Lin Yan asked directly, “Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, didn’t you say that you lack spirituality of the world? Why aren’t you willing to enter the Spiritual Realm fragment to absorb the spirituality of the world?”
The little golden turtle suddenly lay down and paddled left and right, but it did not speak.
Lin Yan was speechless. “Don’t tell me… you find the Spiritual Realm desolate and empty!”
“How do you know?!”
Little Turtle immediately stood up, then realized that there was something wrong with what it said, so it quickly coughed twice.
“No, that’s not true! There’s very little spirituality of the world in the Spiritual Realm. To someone of my size, it’s no better than nothing, so 1 can’t go!”
The corners of Lin Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. Previously, before this Turtle Spirit Holy Mother resumed her subconscious, she was like a four or five-year-old child. But now that she had regained all her consciousness, she actually had an obvious childish temper. It was rare to see the mentality of a-thousand-year old.
Most importantly, this did not seem to be the problem with the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. It was born the same for another turtle.
Lin Yan recalled that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had said something about envying humans.
So, the difference in spirituality of every species would also cause their intelligence and style of doing things to be completely different?
