"This damn guy is finally taken care of," Wu Yang cursed, panting. Immediately, a smile spread across his face; with this, the Profound-Level Cultivation Method was within reach.
For a moment, the four of them distanced themselves from each other, their faces filled with vigilance as they watched one another, fearing that someone might suddenly attack.
"I think there's no need for this right now. We should first confirm whether the Tortoise Shell on the Earth Armored Turtle truly contains the Profound-Level Cultivation Method," Wu Zhi Daoyang suggested, breaking the tense atmosphere with a frown.
"Alright, let's do that," the other three agreed. Their mutual wariness was purely a reflex for self-preservation, as they were all focused on the Profound-Level Cultivation Method.
"Then let's quickly collect the blood of the Earth Armored Turtle and cover these Tortoise Shells to see if these thirteen pieces really contain the legendary Profound-Level Cultivation Method." The four of them headed in different directions—some towards the limbs, others towards the head. It was clear that after this cooperation, it would be hard for them to trust each other again.
Soon, all thirteen Tortoise Shells were covered in blood, and the earthy-colored shells looked eerily bloody. Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, there was still no reaction.
"Could it be that there's not enough blood?" This was the first thought of Wu Zhi Dao and his companions. They then set about gathering more blood to pour over the Tortoise Shells. This time, there were indeed some changes; the Tortoise Shells began to absorb the blood and slowly turned bright red, resembling pieces of ruby—strikingly vivid.
Seeing that the changes had stopped and the Tortoise Shells still showed no signs of containing any cultivation method, they realized that there still wasn't enough blood and continued their efforts.
In the distance, Ren Pingsheng watched their actions with some anticipation, wondering if this upcoming cultivation method was truly a Profound-Level Cultivation Method. It would be impossible for him not to have any thoughts about such a method.
"Hmm? Why are there others coming over?" Ren Pingsheng frowned in surprise as he looked back.
There were several figures stealthily approaching; it was clear they were also here for the Earth Armored Turtle. However, it seemed they were aware that someone had already made a move and were preparing to hide in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Given how obvious their intentions are, they clearly know about this cultivation method. Could it be that when we were four people back then, there were others who escaped with Wang Wei?" Ren Pingsheng unknowingly pieced together the situation.
Initially, there had been four of them attacking the Earth Armored Turtle. When they saw that it had not reacted at all, they let down their guard and kept trying various methods around it until finally, the Earth Armored Turtle awakened.
Two unfortunate fellows were directly struck by the claws that he extended, instantly meeting their demise. Although Wang Wei and Chen Li were also unexpectedly attacked by the Earth Armored Turtle, they sustained relatively lighter injuries. Dragging their severely wounded bodies, they managed to escape.
"If there really is a fourth person, it seems it should be that pale-faced fellow," Ren Pingsheng's gaze fell on one individual. He could sense the person's fluctuating aura, clearly indicating severe injuries.
"Ah... it's almost successful." Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from Wu Zhi Dao and his three companions. It seemed that the blood had been sufficiently poured, and the final transformation was beginning. The Profound-Level Cultivation Method was about to be unveiled.
"No, I need to let those three fellows expose themselves; it would create more chaos and make it easier to act." Seeing that time was running out, Ren Pingsheng set his sights on the group that had just arrived.
With a shift of his gaze, he vanished and reappeared only five zhang away from Chen Li's group. His Movement Technique was so peculiar that otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.
"I'm truly sorry; you all should just obediently leave," he muttered, picking up a small stone and tossing it over. With a 'bang,' it struck the large tree in front of Chen Li's group before they could react.
"Damn it, who is sneaking around?" Wu Yang's Sword Light flashed as he slashed toward the hiding place of Chen Li and his five companions. The other three also looked on guard at the newly appeared five individuals.
"Is it coincidence or is someone lurking in the shadows?" The five had no choice but to dodge the incoming Sword Light, revealing themselves. However, Chen Li's expression remained extremely grim.
Initially, he had noticed someone had acted early and was preparing to launch a sneak attack from the shadows. But now, for no apparent reason, their whereabouts had been exposed, which left him both angry and uncertain.
"Chen Li, it's actually you guys. Did you take a wrong turn? This is not a place for you to be. Be careful not to lose your lives," Wu Yang said with an unfriendly expression upon seeing someone he recognized.
"Hehe, the matter of Wu Yang and the Profound-Level Cultivation Method is not something only you know about. By the way, I've already informed Lu Shixiong," Chen Li said nonchalantly, unfazed by Wu Yang's threat.
"What? Lu Shixiong? You..." Hearing this name made Wu Yang's expression darken. He knew that once this person arrived, his chances of obtaining the Profound-Level Cultivation Method would diminish significantly.
"The transformation of the Tortoise Shell has ended." Wu Zhi Dao's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. They could no longer afford to maintain their standoff; their figures swayed as they leaped onto the back of the Earth Armored Turtle. They saw thirteen pieces of red crystalline Tortoise Shells now covered in dense black characters.
"Ah, this... this... is actually the Mystic Level Sword Technique!" Jiang Buhui's face flushed red with excitement.
"This... this is the Profound Level Movement Technique, and also the Profound Level Body Refinement Technique." Su Xu looked at the two pieces of Tortoise Shell in front of him, his tone excited, his voice trembling slightly.
"This... oh my, it really is the Profound-Level Cultivation Method. We're going to get rich!" Chen Li could hardly contain himself, his eyes reddening as he thought only of claiming this technique for himself. As for that Lu Shixiong, he had long since been forgotten.
Wu Yang's eyes were also fixed on one piece of Tortoise Shell, unable to look away. His breathing became heavy. It was clearly another Profound-Level Cultivation Method, the technique he had long desired.
At that moment, he no longer cared about anything else, drawing his sword and aiming for the edge of the Tortoise Shell, ready to take it down. The others were making similar moves. Thirteen pieces of Tortoise Shell, each person acting independently.
The only exception was Wu Zhi Dao. He swept through all thirteen pieces of Tortoise Shell, unfazed by the cold stares from others. Finally, he stopped at the edge of one piece, studying it for a while before making his move.
These thirteen pieces of Tortoise Shell had lost much of their defensive power due to the death of the Earth Armored Turtle. The nine people spent a quarter of an hour removing all thirteen pieces from the back of the Earth Armored Turtle. Although they were covered in blood, no one minded.
Surprisingly, the first to separate his preferred piece of Tortoise Shell was Wu Zhi Dao. The defensive power of this Earth Armored Turtle's Tortoise Shell remained formidable; it was unclear what method he used to encounter so little resistance.
"It’s actually a Spatial Bracelet." Ren Pingsheng exclaimed as he saw the piece of Tortoise Shell in Wu Zhi Dao's hand suddenly disappear. His eyes narrowed in surprise as he muttered to himself.
When the others noticed this scene, their expressions changed, and they looked at him warily, fearing he might attempt to snatch it away. At the same time, they pondered the reason behind the disappearance of the Tortoise Shell.
"My item is already in hand. I'm not interested in these others; you all can continue!" Wu Zhi Dao said with a light laugh, not even glancing at the other twelve pieces of Tortoise Shell, and with a few leaps, he vanished.
"He actually left? Is this guy out of his mind?" Chen Li said in surprise. Even without considering the pieces they were eyeing, there were still four unclaimed ones left. To abandon them so easily was unexpected.
"Wu Zhi Dao remains so mysterious; I wonder what he took that is recorded on that Tortoise Shell." Ren Pingsheng remarked, puzzled by the sight of Wu Zhi Dao moving away.
"Forget it; I can't miss this opportunity. I have to get a piece of Tortoise Shell to study." With that, he flashed and appeared on the back of the Earth Armored Turtle. This sudden action startled the other eight who were struggling hard. Eight pairs of eyes turned sharply toward him, filled with hostility toward this unexpected intruder.
"Ren Pingsheng, it's you!" Wu Yang's expression darkened instantly. The sword in his hand changed direction and slashed toward Ren Pingsheng. It seemed he still held a grudge from their last match.
He originally thought that this time, with such a fortuitous encounter, he would be able to take revenge. But now, Ren Pingsheng also appeared here, and the same opportunity made it hard for him to hold back.
The sword in Ren Pingsheng's hand was also drawn at the same time, striking Wu Yang's sword three times like a spirit snake, forcing him to step back, his right hand trembling uncontrollably.
"You won't be my opponent. It's better to secure the Tortoise Shell in your hand first. This place is no longer safe," Ren Pingsheng said, glancing at Wu Yang, who hesitated whether to strike again, and then looked at Chen Li, whose expression was equally grim, reminding him with a light laugh.
Perhaps Chen Li had already guessed the reason for their exposure. But so what? He had done it, and he wasn't afraid of retaliation.
Ren Pingsheng glanced at the remaining four pieces of Tortoise Shell, which included a Profound Level Sword Technique, Movement Technique, Body Refinement Technique, and a piece with a somewhat strange pattern.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I already have the Body Refinement Technique; I feel there is still room for improvement in the current Movement Technique. There's no need for that; I'll take these two pieces." Ren Pingsheng flipped his hand, revealing a magical-grade Longsword.
He then executed the Seven Star Sword Technique, instantly striking the edges of the two pieces of Tortoise Shell, creating five thumb-sized holes that were quite conspicuous. He then rotated the Longsword in his hand and directly performed 'Golden Edge Kill,' easily slicing off two of the four pieces of Tortoise Shell with its highly compressed sharpness.
"You..." Seeing Ren Pingsheng take away that piece of Tortoise Shell, Wu Yang's face darkened. He wanted to say something but suddenly fell silent.
"Hehe, this is best. None of you are competing with me; naturally, I won't compete with you either. I'm not a greedy person; I'll leave the remaining two pieces for you this time."
Seeing everyone's reactions and wariness, Ren Pingsheng held up the two pieces of Tortoise Shell and nodded with a light smile. Just like Wu Zhi Dao before him, he disappeared directly.
Just as he came before, his disappearance left no trace. Those with other intentions could only temporarily set their minds at ease. The secret realm was so vast that they didn't even know which direction to leave; how could they search?
