Exposed After I became an Immortal - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Reward! The Divine Stream Longevity Technique! Evolution of Xuanwu!

…

“Ming Dynasty shares the world with the people …” Zhu Xuanji kept repeating this phrase in his mouth. He naturally understood.

In such a great era, someone who could say this was truly remarkable!

Since ancient times, no matter what kind of dynasty, no matter what kind of world. The ruling class was destined to be at odds with the common people. No matter what class the ruler came from.

In the end, the common people would always become the objects of exploitation by the rulers. That Zhu Yuanzhang could say such grand words of sharing the world with the people. It couldn’t be denied that he was a great ruler with the people’s welfare in mind!

Next, Zhu Xuanji asked the old turtle some more questions about the outside world. The old turtle, in his lifetime, had never left Zhongshan.

He hadn’t even left Xuanwu Lake. However, he had a remarkable grandfather. His grandfather was a true divine turtle who roamed the world with the immortals! This Xuanwu Lake was named by the old turtle’s grandfather. He named it Xuanwu to seek fame!

Unfortunately, although the old turtle’s grandfather lived over a thousand years. He still did not reach the legendary level of Xuanwu.

From the old turtle’s words, Zhu Xuanji learned that Zhonghua was vast and boundless. Even the once-dominant founder of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan, never fully unified Zhonghua.

Some people tried to measure Zhonghua with their footsteps, but in their entire lives, they never reached the end of it!

In the era before the rise of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

There were many dynasties in Zhonghua.

For example, the Dao Song Dynasty! It was said that the Dao Song Dynasty was a gathering place for immortals. Within the territory of the Dao Song Dynasty, there were many famous mountains and rivers. There were also many places for immortals.

Zijinshan also once belonged to the territory of the Dao Song Dynasty. However, later, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty rose. It was taken over by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. Later, the world fell into chaos. Zhu Yuanzhang emerged from numerous rebel armies, occupied Jinling, and founded the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the old turtle’s stories, Zhu Xuanji’s heart was filled with an even greater longing for the outside world.

Unfortunately, he still had to wait on this Zhongshan for three hundred years.

Feeling slightly helpless, Zhu Xuanji changed the subject.

He suddenly asked the old turtle, “Old turtle! Do you know if there are any extremely ferocious great demons or evil spirits in the world outside this mountain?”

The old turtle paused after hearing this.

Then he began to speak, “I, the old turtle, have seen in the books and notes left by my grandfather that in the west of Zhonghua, there are great demons who can drink a river dry and devour the lives of an entire city! However, that was all from eight hundred years ago! The Realized Being Pure Yang, whom my grandfather once followed, was famous for slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits!”

Zhu Xuanji was stunned hearing this.

He muttered to himself, “Could it be … that this world is truly overrun by great demons! It seems, this world is indeed dangerous! There is a Ming Dynasty, no doubt! But besides the Ming Dynasty! There is also the Mongol Yuan Dynasty! In the vast territory of Zhonghua, the dangers are unknown Staying in Zhongshan to cultivate for three hundred years is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuanji felt somewhat reassured.

At this moment, Zhu Xuanji’s ears already heard the system’s prompt!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully enlightening a turtle, and obtaining the Divine Stream Longevity Technique.]

[The Divine Stream Longevity Technique, the supreme treasure of Taoism, is the ultimate path of refining the essence of heaven and earth and cultivating oneself. When cultivated to a profound level, the practitioner’s vitality flows endlessly like a stream, self-sufficient and capable of ascending to immortality and achieving eternal life!]

“Hmm? Divine Stream Longevity Technique! What a marvelous skill! Now, I have a few divine skills! In the future, cultivation will be even more smooth! Enlightening the old turtle took me half an hour! It took much more time than enlightening Da Huang, Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Shu. Getting such a Divine Stream Longevity Technique was definitely worth the enlightenment!”

At this moment, Zhu Xuanji heard another prompt from the system.

[Ding! Based on the bloodline qualification of this turtle, the system has detected three evolution directions for this turtle.]

[1: Xuan Gui, shaped like a turtle with a bird’s head and a snake’s tail, named Xuanwu, its sound is like splitting wood!]

[2: Baxià, capable of carrying three mountains and five peaks, stirring up storms in rivers, lakes, and seas. Baxià is a symbol of longevity and good fortune, always striving forward with its head held high, its four legs firmly supporting, steadily moving forward.]

[Baxià, never stops!!]

[3: Xuanwu, one of the four divine spirits of heaven, possesses extraordinary divine power, transcending the category of divine beasts, being a true god. When still, it is Xuan, when moving, it is Wu, hence Xuanwu!]

[Please choose the evolution direction!]

“Hmm?”

“Xuan Gui, I’ve heard of it! Baxià! I’ve also heard of it! Huh? There’s also Xuanwu? Then there’s no need to hesitate! Just choose Xuanwu directly!”

There was no conflict among these options, and his choice was clear. Xuanwu had the highest potential!

Zhu Xuanji heard the system’s voice again in his ears.

[Ding! The evolution direction has been chosen, please continue to enlighten this turtle. If the evolution fails, the host will receive a certain degree of punishment.]

[If the evolution succeeds, the host will receive continuous rewards!]

Hearing the system’s prompt.

Zhu Xuanji felt rather helpless.

Currently, he had enlightened six creatures in total.

Four silver fishes, a big mountain dog, and an old turtle!

However, how many of them could evolve to the highest grade. He wasn’t sure. He could only do his best.

Fortunately, this Zhongshan, after the system’s transformation, had long become a top-grade blessed land. The abundance of spiritual energy, was probably not something that other blessed lands could compare to.

So, he believed, as long as he nurtured them carefully, these spirit pets should be able to evolve to the highest grade.

After talking with the old turtle for a while, Zhu Xuanji originally planned to teach the old turtle some simple breathing techniques.

At this moment, he heard the old turtle say, “Benefactor!”

“In Xuanwu Lake, there is a volume of the ‘Pure Yang Taoist Canon’ left by the Realized Being Pure Yang from years ago!”
