Chapter 3249: Great Immortal (2/2)
“No rush You’ve been impatient in recent years and that still didn’t a Relax and you’ll accomplish more” Li Qiye said
“My ic behind this and took a deep breath to mellon
Nonetheless, his anxiousness was understandable The proble him for several years could finally be solved
Li Qiye didn’t say anything else andlike a servant
They have left the village so Li Qiye began looking at the forest with great focus without rass
Fuyou didn’t understand What was so special about the leaves and grass?
“The world has changed It’s not a case of one’s hoer around Now, even the hohtly eet it but re the way
The two of thee stone statue on the road - a Black Tortoise
It looked divine and lofty on top of being very arrogant, clearly a divine beast Its shell looked strong enough to shoulder the sky
Strangely enough, the beast also looked kind and friendly Li Qiye found it to be very familiar as if he had seen it before
Fuyou explained right away: “My sect’s na as it is still our territory, you’ll find one very often”
“Oh? I see What is it depicting?” Li Qiye asked
“Our patriarch and progenitor, the divine beast Black Tortoise” Fuyou said with respect
“Black Tortoise?” Li Qiye found this surprising [1]
“Indeed During the ancient era, our patriarch was the reat immortal He traveled across the nine heavens and absorbed the stars, even entering ireat immortal left this world but he chose to stay and created our sect”
“Tell me more about this immortal” Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile
“Hmm, I don’t know much” Fuyou smiled wryly He only knew about his patriarch from the stories told by the seniors
