Comprehending the 'Dao' in the Mortal Dao Field, the Ancient Turtle Is Utterly Shocked!

"World in the Palm..." "How could you have attained the Ancestor Realm?" "This is the Kunwu World! No one can achieve the Ancestor Realm here..." Lu Changsheng's palm rapidly shrank. Yet the ancient turtle suppressed beneath it shrank along with it. No matter how the ancient turtle struggled, it could not break free of Lu Changsheng's grasp. This was the World in the Palm! A single small palm was like an entire world, with infinite transformations and boundless might. Under this single palm, even the ancient turtle at the pinnacle divine body level could not break free. "It seems you can speak." Lu Changsheng stared coldly at the ancient turtle. Not only could this ancient turtle speak, but its intellect was no different from an ordinary person's. It was fully capable of communicating with Lu Changsheng. Moreover, the ancient turtle even knew about the situation in the outside world, aware that no one in the Kunwu World could achieve the Ancestor Realm. "Wait, you mentioned the Ancestor Realm?" "You know about the Boundary Sea?" A thought stirred in Lu Changsheng's heart. He noticed that the ancient turtle had said "Ancestor Realm" rather than referring to a divine body. "Ancestor Realm" was a term used in the Boundary Sea. "Heh, how could I not know about the Boundary Sea?" "Back when Master roamed the Boundary Sea, where did he not go?" When the ancient turtle mentioned "Master," its tone sounded immensely proud and full of honor. "Master? Could it be the Mortal Immortal Liu Yun buried in that tomb?" Lu Changsheng asked. The ancient turtle fell silent. Lu Changsheng merely showed a faint smile and said calmly, "Since you refuse to speak, you are of no use to me. And if you are useless, there is no need to keep you alive." With that, Lu Changsheng's palm began to tighten. Once it clenched shut, the ancient turtle would be crushed into powder. Faced with death, the ancient turtle grew terrified as well. "Stop!" "Ask whatever you want!" The ancient turtle yielded. "Is the one buried in the tomb Mortal Immortal Liu Yun?" "Yes." "Is Liu Yun your master?" "Right." "Is this water manor the Mortal Dao Field?" "Indeed. The water manor is a treasure, but it is also Master's Dao Field." Lu Changsheng questioned it point by point. The ancient turtle answered almost everything without holding back. Yet the more Lu Changsheng asked, the more his brow furrowed. Was this ancient turtle being a bit too cooperative? It held almost nothing back. Even taking Lu Changsheng's threats into account, its extreme cooperation still struck him as odd. Earlier, the ancient turtle's attitude had been exceedingly foul, and it had even attacked Lu Changsheng unprovoked. That showed the ancient turtle harbored deep disdain for him. Yet from its answers, Lu Changsheng could detect nothing amiss. "Wait, are you saying that in all these years, I am the first Ancestor Realm expert to enter the water manor?" Lu Changsheng suddenly asked. "That's right." "Has anyone below the Ancestor Realm ever entered?" Lu Changsheng thought of a question. The ancient turtle chuckled. "Yes, someone came in." "Where are they now?" "Dead, of course. Isn't there a burial mound beside Master's? There is no name on that tombstone because that mound was dug by that very person to bury himself." "..." Lu Changsheng fell silent. He had not expected the wordless tombstone to hold such a story. He had thought the wordless tombstone was related to Mortal Immortal Liu Yun. So it was all a misunderstanding? It had nothing to do with the Mortal Immortal at all. "How did he die?" "Naturally... of old age!" Lu Changsheng's pupils contracted. Died of old age! Those words carried immense significance. Anyone capable of stepping into this water manor was definitely no ordinary individual. How could such a person grow old and die here? There was only one possibility! There was no way out of this water manor! Or rather, leaving was far from easy. "One cannot leave the water manor?" Lu Changsheng asked. The ancient turtle chuckled. "You guessed right. While it isn't completely impossible to leave the water manor, trying to force your way out is basically impossible. Even as an Ancestor Realm expert, you cannot break out by force." "Only by meeting Master's criteria can one leave the water manor. But Master's criteria... let alone the Kunwu World, even across the entire Boundary Sea, those who could meet them can probably be counted on one hand—if any exist at all..." A trace of pity seemed to appear in the ancient turtle's eyes. Yes, pity. It could tell that Lu Changsheng was tremendously strong, and an Ancestor Realm expert possessed illustrious renown even in the Boundary Sea. Yet now, he was doomed to be trapped alive in this water manor until he died of old age. How utterly stifling was that? Lu Changsheng finally understood why the ancient turtle had answered all his questions so freely, holding virtually nothing back. The reason was simple: in the ancient turtle's eyes, Lu Changsheng would be trapped in this water manor for the rest of his life, never able to leave. What meaning was there in hiding the manor's secrets from him? Either way, Lu Changsheng would have to keep it company in the water manor for the rest of his days. Moreover, the odds were high that Lu Changsheng would not outlive it. Even though Lu Changsheng was an Ancestor Realm expert, the ancient turtle belonged to a long-lived species. In the Boundary Sea, it could outlive who knew how many generations of Ancestor Realm powerhouses. Lu Changsheng felt both surprised and wary, yet he remained remarkably composed. He glanced around the water manor. *Boom!* The next instant, without any warning, Lu Changsheng threw a punch. This punch carried the true might of an Ancestor Realm strike. Furthermore, Lu Changsheng went all out. The blow slammed violently into the water manor. The manor shuddered violently, and ring after ring of ripples appeared, spreading in all directions like ripples across a surface of water. And then, nothing more happened. The water manor remained completely intact, without the slightest damage. "Again!" Lu Changsheng employed various methods, targeting every corner of the water manor in an attempt to shatter it. Yet though Lu Changsheng turned the water manor upside down with his strikes, the structure remained utterly undamaged. It seemed the ancient turtle had not lied to him. Leaving this water manor truly was impossible. At the very least, relying on Ancestor Realm power to breach the manor by force was practically impossible. On second thought, Lu Changsheng realized this was the Dao Field of a Mortal Immortal. If a Mortal Immortal had truly left arrangements here, let alone one Ancestor Realm expert, even ten or a hundred would be trapped here until death, utterly unable to force their way out. "Wait, you said one cannot leave by force, meaning there is still a way to leave?" Lu Changsheng asked. "Yes, it is possible to leave. In theory, anyone who meets Master's requirements can leave." "In fact, it goes beyond just leaving—the entire water manor would belong to you." "But meeting Master's criteria is hard!" The ancient turtle shook its head. It naturally knew Master's criteria. Precisely because it knew, it believed it to be impossible. After all, it was simply too difficult. Even waiting for countless more years, it would never find someone who met Master's criteria. It even understood Master's mindset. Its master was a Mortal Immortal, someone who followed his own whims. Master had not wanted anyone disturbing his peace; thus, in theory, anyone who entered his Dao Field ought to die. Yet the Mortal Immortal was not one for wanton slaughter. He always believed in leaving a sliver of hope in everything. Therefore, anyone who reached his water manor was given a slim chance of survival. However, it was merely a theoretical chance—nothing more. Mortal Immortal Liu Yun had never thought about finding a successor, nor had he planned any deliberate trial. When a person died, their flame was extinguished. Even someone as formidable as a Mortal Immortal had to die. Death was death, and Liu Yun merely wished to rest quietly in his Dao Field. Yet people would inevitably stumble into his sanctuary. So Liu Yun casually set down a standard. Whoever met the standard and passed the assessment he established would be considered fated with him. Even gifting the entire water manor to that person would be of no concern. If one failed to pass, then apologies were in order. For disturbing his peace, one would remain in the water manor to keep him company forever. Such was Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's style. Unconstrained, wild, and unrestrained. Never swayed by others. "So, once one enters the water manor, only a theoretical chance of leaving remains..." Lu Changsheng understood—he understood completely. This water manor was not a land of opportunity left behind by Mortal Immortal Liu Yun. It was nothing more than a tomb. "Then who carved the Mortal Immortal's tombstone?" "And who passed down those sixteen words through word of mouth to the Ou clan?" "Furthermore, why was the tombstone shattered and scattered outside?" Lu Changsheng asked. "The tombstone? The Ou clan?" "Ah, that's right. The tombstone was forged by the Ou clan. I heard they were quite renowned back then, so Master personally sought out the Ou clan to cast his tombstone." "Perhaps Master acted on a whim, thinking that after his death he might be too lonely, so he left behind those sixteen words in hopes that someone might come to accompany him." Lu Changsheng fell silent. What Mortal Immortal Liu Yun had done was... difficult to judge as right or wrong. Fearing loneliness after death, he deliberately left clues for the Ou clan to seek him out? Yet it was practically a dead end! Was this bestowing an opportunity, or bringing calamity? This Mortal Immortal Liu Yun truly acted entirely on a whim, indifferent to right or wrong, guided solely by personal preference. "As for the tombstone fragments..." The ancient turtle's expression gradually grew solemn. It lifted its head toward the void and said in a heavy voice, "The tombstone was actually shattered by someone." "Or rather, it was shattered by a palm." "I never saw that person. Perhaps he was no longer human, but an immortal!" "A palm descended from the sky, directly shattering the water manor and Master's tomb, seemingly searching for something, or perhaps confirming whether Master was truly dead." "In short, at that time the water manor cracked open, and the tombstone shattered into many pieces." "The fragments scattered into the world. But the water manor is a miraculous treasure; given vast spans of time, it can repair itself. By now, it has fully restored itself to its original state." The ancient turtle's words sent a shock through Lu Changsheng's heart. A palm descending from the sky? Directly shattering the water manor! It had even broken the tombstone and dug up Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's grave. This was the tomb of a Mortal Immortal! Who would dare? And who possessed such terrifying power and methods? At the thought of a "palm descending from the sky," Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a familiar sense of deja vu. *Wait, a palm descending from the sky...* *Wasn't Xu Mountain leveled by a palm descending from the sky?* *The Ou clan declined because of that very event.* *The owner of that palm was the Giant Spirit Ancestor. Could the palm that breached the water manor also belong to the Giant Spirit Ancestor?* Lu Changsheng considered the possibility. In fact, it was highly likely! If it truly was the Giant Spirit Ancestor, everything would make sense. The Giant Spirit Ancestor had already surpassed the Ancestor Realm and was most likely in the Immortal Realm, just like Mortal Immortal Liu Yun. There were bound to be countless entanglements between them. Yet their relationship was likely far from pleasant. Otherwise, the other party would not have resorted to digging up the grave. "You witnessed that palm with your own eyes, didn't you?" Lu Changsheng suddenly asked. "Yes, that palm descended and shattered the water manor. I saw it with my own eyes." "Back then, I didn't dare make the slightest movement. That palm was simply too terrifying..." At the mention of that terrifying palm, the ancient turtle still seemed shaken with lingering dread. "Then take a look: is it this aura?" With a thought, Lu Changsheng began to exude a vast, ancient, and majestic aura. Though faint, it was unmistakably the aura of a drop of the Giant Spirit Ancestor's essence blood. This aura was fundamentally different from that of the Ancestor Realm. The moment Lu Changsheng emitted the aura of the Giant Spirit Ancestor's essence blood, the ancient turtle shuddered violently. Its eyes widened in utter disbelief. "You... who on earth are you?" "How could you carry the aura of that palm?" "Moreover, this aura stems from a bloodline. Are you a bloodline descendant of the owner of that palm?" A hint of terror crept into the ancient turtle's demeanor. Lu Changsheng neither confirmed nor denied it. He gave the ancient turtle a deep look and said calmly, "If I am not mistaken, the owner of that palm should be the Giant Spirit Ancestor!" "Back then, the Giant Spirit Ancestor seemed to be constantly searching for Mortal Immortal Liu Yun. To that end, the Giant Spirit Ancestor did not hesitate to annihilate the Ou clan, perhaps simply because the Ou clan had cast Liu Yun's tombstone." "Later, once the Giant Spirit Ancestor found the water manor, he struck again to shatter it and dig open Liu Yun's grave, stopping only after confirming Liu Yun was dead." Lu Changsheng understood now. The Ou clan had simply been caught in the crossfire. The Giant Spirit Ancestor and Mortal Immortal Liu Yun were clearly adversaries. Over the forging of the tombstone, the Giant Spirit Ancestor had struck against the Ou clan, wiping them out with ease. The Giant Spirit Ancestor had even shattered the water manor. All of this likely traced back to the Giant Spirit Ancestor and Liu Yun. "Was it the Giant Spirit Ancestor?" "So it was him who broke the water manor..." "Heh, I should have guessed. If Master still had a formidable enemy in this world, it could only be the Giant Spirit Ancestor..." The ancient turtle came to a sudden realization. It clearly knew of the Giant Spirit Ancestor's existence. "Oh?" "You know about the Giant Spirit Ancestor?" Lu Changsheng asked. The ancient turtle did not hide anything and nodded. "Back when I followed Master across the Boundary Sea, we encountered the Giant Spirit Ancestor." "At that time, Master and the Giant Spirit Ancestor clashed fiercely over the Road to Ascending Heaven, neither able to overcome the other." "Over the long years that followed, the Giant Spirit Ancestor and Master fought numerous times, forging a feud unto death." "I once asked Master why he insisted on clashing so fiercely with the Giant Spirit Ancestor. Master merely smiled and never answered." "However, I suspect it had to do with the Road to Ascending Heaven. As for the specifics, I don't know either." The ancient turtle's words plunged Lu Changsheng into thought. The Giant Spirit Ancestor and Mortal Immortal Liu Yun seemed deeply entwined. Yet the details remained shrouded in fog, impossible to discern clearly. "Since your master Liu Yun attained the Immortal Realm, why was he called a Mortal Immortal rather than simply being referred to by the Immortal Realm?" Lu Changsheng asked again. The ancient turtle pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Actually, your question touches upon the classifications of immortals. The world only knows that immortals stand aloft, looking down upon all living beings. Yet they do not know that immortals are divided into four kinds." "The first kind is the Heaven Realm Upper Immortal. Born in the Heaven Realm, they breathe immortal spirit qi, comprehend the Great Dao of the Heaven Realm, and forge an immortal spirit body, transcending the five elements and stepping outside the three realms to enjoy a lifespan equal to heaven!" "The second kind is the lower realm Mortal Immortal. Born in the mortal world, they do not bathe in immortal spirit qi nor comprehend the Great Dao of the Heaven Realm; instead, they comprehend the mysteries of nature's workings, the essence of heaven and earth, and the true meaning of the world while in the mortal dust. Likewise, they transcend the five elements and step outside the three realms. Even if heaven and earth decay, they remain imperishable, wandering freely across the world. This is a Mortal Immortal!" "The third kind is the Physical Immortal. They do not comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, focusing solely on cultivating the physical body. Enduring ten thousand tribulations without perishing, their bodies are indestructible, possessing terrifying combat power that shatters all techniques with brute force! This is a Physical Immortal!" "Lastly, there is a kind called the Loose Immortal. It seems Loose Immortals rely on various unorthodox methods and clever shortcuts to reach the Immortal Realm. Loose Immortals are the most numerous, yet they rank at the bottom among immortals. As for specific details regarding Loose Immortals, I don't know much either; Master rarely mentioned them, and whenever he did, his words carried slight disdain. In any case, whatever differs from the first three kinds is likely a Loose Immortal!" Lu Changsheng listened intently. So immortals were divided into four kinds: Heaven Realm Upper Immortals, Mortal Immortals, Physical Immortals, and Loose Immortals. This was the first time Lu Changsheng had heard such an explanation. After all, whether in the Boundary Sea or the Kunwu World, information regarding immortals was exceedingly scarce. Even if information existed, it was difficult for Lu Changsheng to access. Hearing it now from the ancient turtle provided a much more complete and comprehensive picture than what most people possessed. After all, the ancient turtle had once followed a true Mortal Immortal! "Among the four kinds of immortals... is there an order of superiority?" Lu Changsheng asked. "Of course there is." "In terms of cultivation difficulty, the Mortal Immortal is the hardest. How difficult is it to comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth and achieve immortality amid the mortal dust?" "As for combat power, the Physical Immortal is likely the strongest. Physical Immortals do not comprehend the principles of heaven and earth; they temper their physical bodies with every conceivable method until they are imperishable across ten thousand tribulations. Their power is earth-shattering and unimaginable. The Giant Spirit Ancestor is a Physical Immortal, possessing immense strength. In terms of raw combat power, he was actually slightly stronger than Master, though he lacked Master's breadth of methods. When the two clashed, they often fought to a draw." "The Heaven Realm Upper Immortal places the greatest emphasis on background and requires the most resources. With resources, becoming a Heaven Realm Upper Immortal is comparatively easier. What the Kunwu World refers to as an immortal body actually points toward the Heaven Realm Upper Immortal. Legends of immortal spirit divine items circulate in the Kunwu World; as long as one obtains an immortal spirit divine item, one has a chance to forge the foundation of an immortal spirit body, thereby advancing step by step to become a Heaven Realm Upper Immortal." "Naturally, the lowest rank belongs to Loose Immortals. Cultivating as a Loose Immortal is second only to Heaven Realm Upper Immortals in ease, but it relies on opportunism and shortcuts. Their combat power is the weakest; though they possess many methods, their strength is the lowest among the four kinds of immortals. Furthermore, it is said that Loose Immortals rank at the bottom even in the Heaven Realm, and when it comes to the future immortal path, they fall far behind the other three..." The ancient turtle's words brought total clarity to Lu Changsheng. He now understood the basics of the four kinds of immortals. It turned out the immortal body spoken of in the Kunwu World referred to Heaven Realm Upper Immortals, which depended on various resources. Without an immortal spirit divine item, one could not cultivate into a Heaven Realm Upper Immortal. As for the Mortal Immortal, it seemingly required immense comprehension and did not necessarily rely on resources. The Physical Immortal possessed the greatest combat strength, but Lu Changsheng knew next to nothing about it. And as for Loose Immortals, Lu Changsheng was even less familiar. Currently, Lu Changsheng had no clue how to pursue any of the four paths. *The only relatively realistic option should be the Heaven Realm Upper Immortal.* *As long as I have an immortal spirit divine item, I can attempt to forge an immortal spirit foundation and have a chance to become a Heaven Realm Upper Immortal.* *Legends of immortal bodies have always circulated in the Kunwu World, so immortal spirit divine items should exist.* "Ancient turtle, this is the Dao Field of a Mortal Immortal. Among the Mortal Immortal's treasures, are there any immortal spirit divine items?" Lu Changsheng fixed his gaze intently on the ancient turtle. An immortal spirit divine item! If one existed, Lu Changsheng naturally wanted it! "An immortal spirit divine item... perhaps there is." The ancient turtle hesitated, sounding uncertain. "What do you mean 'perhaps'? Is there one or not?" Lu Changsheng frowned. Could this ancient turtle be trying to play tricks? That didn't make sense; earlier, the ancient turtle had answered everything asked of it without resistance. Why would it deliberately conceal the truth regarding this question? The ancient turtle gave a wry smile and said, "Precisely because I am unsure, I said 'perhaps.'" "Master has a treasury in the water manor. However, even I cannot enter this treasury." "Only by meeting Master's criteria and passing Master's assessment can one take control of this entire water manor, at which point the treasury will naturally open." "Inside the treasury, there might be an immortal spirit divine item." The ancient turtle explained in detail. Lu Changsheng understood. Indeed, the water manor had a treasury. Yet neither the ancient turtle nor Lu Changsheng could enter it. "Where is the treasury? Take me there." Lu Changsheng still wanted to give it a try. Thus, the ancient turtle led Lu Changsheng outside the water manor's treasury. It was merely an iron door, looking completely unremarkable. Still maintaining the fusion of all his avatars, Lu Changsheng unleashed a punch. *Rumble!* With a thunderous crash, the treasury shook violently, but that was all. As the dust cleared, the treasury stood completely unmoved, without the slightest sign of damage. One had to realize that Lu Changsheng's punch carried the genuine might of an Ancestor Realm strike. Yet it failed to budge the treasury in the least. It seemed breaking into the treasury by force to see if an immortal spirit divine item was inside was completely impossible. He would still have to abide honestly by Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's rules. From the ancient turtle, Lu Changsheng had learned that to enter the treasury, one had to meet Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's criteria and pass the assessment. Similarly, if Lu Changsheng wished to leave the water manor, he had to meet Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's criteria and pass the assessment. Even to claim ownership of the water manor, one had to meet the criteria and pass the assessment. It seemed whatever one wished to accomplish in this water manor, there was no escaping this standard. "Let's go. Take me to see what kind of assessment and standard this is." Lu Changsheng knew he could not avoid it in the end. In that case, there was no point in evading. He would see for himself what standard Mortal Immortal Liu Yun had established. "Sigh, in the end, you still have to walk this path." "If you don't try it, you certainly won't accept it." "Still, I must warn you: the standard Master set is simply too harsh, let alone passing the assessment..." The ancient turtle shook its head, but nonetheless led Lu Changsheng toward the core area of the water manor—the Mortal Dao Field! Yes, the Mortal Dao Field! The Mortal Dao Field lay within the water manor. Though Lu Changsheng had entered the water manor, he had not truly stepped into the Mortal Dao Field yet. The genuine Dao Field was hidden within the manor. The water manor was neither particularly large nor particularly small. Moreover, many areas blocked spiritual awareness from probing. Lu Changsheng had been unable to locate every corner of the water manor. The ancient turtle brought Lu Changsheng before a stone chamber and said to him, "Are you ready? Inside lies the true Mortal Dao Field, the genuine Dao Field of an immortal..." Seeing the ancient turtle's solemn demeanor, Lu Changsheng nodded. Yet he also felt curious. It was merely entering a room; how wondrous could it be to warrant such gravity? With that, the ancient turtle opened the stone chamber's doors. *Rumble!* The heavy doors swung open. Lu Changsheng did not step inside immediately. Instead, he seized the ancient turtle first to avoid being tricked by it. Caution was always warranted. Beyond the stone doors lay pitch-black darkness, and Lu Changsheng could not tell what lay ahead. Even so, he took a step forward and crossed the threshold into the room. *Boom!* A roar echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind. Before his eyes was endless darkness. Soon, however, light appeared. A dazzling, brilliant light. Lu Changsheng looked around. How was this a pitch-black room? It was clearly a mountain forest. There were towering mountains, flowing rivers, flowers, grasses, and trees, and even birds, fish, and shrimp. A gentle breeze brushed against his face, carrying a faint coolness. Lu Changsheng reached out his hand. Sunlight spilled across his palm, feeling strikingly real. "This... is the Mortal Dao Field?" Lu Changsheng was filled with shock! He clearly remembered that this was a water manor beneath a great river. There should be no mountain forest, no towering peaks. Yet what was this? An illusion? "Do you think this is an illusion?" "Actually, that is both right and wrong. On the surface, it is indeed an illusion. But in essence, this is the Mortal Dao Field, into which Master's lifelong Dao was integrated." "Here, you can perceive Master's Dao much more clearly." "This is the true significance of a Dao Field!" The ancient turtle spoke while swaying its head. In truth, it did not understand what a Dao Field truly was either. That was simply what Master had told it in the past. It had entered the Mortal Dao Field countless times. Yet not once had it sensed the existence of any "Dao." Even if it didn't understand, that did not stop it from relaying its master's words. A figure like Master had to have spoken with good reason. The fact that it could not sense the existence of the "Dao" was merely because its natural talent was dull and its comprehension was lacking. "The Dao..." Lu Changsheng murmured softly. At this moment, though Lu Changsheng appeared calm on the surface, tempestuous waves surged within his heart. Even after entering the Mortal Dao Field countless times, the ancient turtle had never felt anything special. Lu Changsheng, however, was different. The moment he stepped into the Mortal Dao Field, he felt the difference. The surrounding void was practically brimming with countless strands of "Dao rhyme." The so-called "Dao rhyme" could, in some sense, be understood as rules. An understanding of heaven, earth, and nature; of the world; and of everything around. The essence of all things. Collectively termed the "Dao." This was Mortal Immortal Liu Yun's "Dao." So plain, unadorned, and simple. Yet it truly stood above the Ancestor Realm, representing the most fundamental and essential power. Grasping the "Dao" meant grasping the path toward the Immortal Realm! "So, what is your master's standard?" Lu Changsheng asked. "My master's standard is actually very simple: sense the Dao within the Mortal Dao Field." "Simple, isn't it?" "It seems simple, but in truth, it is extraordinarily difficult. I have been in this Dao Field countless times, yet where is there any Dao?" "The last person who wandered into the Dao Field by mistake couldn't sense any Dao at all. In the end, he could only waste away in gloom, dying of old age in the water manor..." The ancient turtle glanced at Lu Changsheng. It even expected Lu Changsheng to meet the same fate. Even an Ancestor Realm expert would be trapped to death in this water manor. Trying to sense the "Dao"? That was nothing short of a pipe dream! Yet when the ancient turtle saw Lu Changsheng wearing a faint, knowing smile with a calm expression, while his aura subtly began to harmonize with the entire Mortal Dao Field, the ancient turtle's eyes went wide. *Hum!* Especially when Lu Changsheng's body shuddered slightly, and invisible ripples faintly emerged around him, surging outward in all directions, it was as though the entire Mortal Dao Field was trembling. "Could... could this be..." The ancient turtle stood dumbstruck on the spot.
