415: Chapter 415 The Emperor's Pride, the Mystic Tortoise Revives!

Although Di Tian's tone was distant, it still carried a hint of politeness.

However, despite this, there were still many young Prodigies who were anxious and in constant fear.

Eventually, a young girl could not hold back and asked cautiously: "May I ask... why exactly did you capture us and bring us here?"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian glanced at the girl and sighed softly: "Very well, you would find out sooner or later anyway, so it does not hurt to tell you now."

"This stone statue of a Mysterious Tortoise carrying a stele is actually the entrance to a Secret Realm."

"The Mysterious Tortoise is not a stone statue, but a living creature. When Leader Mo Yuan and I first arrived here, this Mysterious Tortoise came to life."

"It told Leader Mo Yuan and me that to open the Secret Realm, there must be a sufficient number of young Prodigies to compete for the Immortal Destiny within."

"And the Immortal Destiny within is the life-tracing white immortal bead that countless living beings dream of, and it is also the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear in the world!"

Hearing these words, countless young Prodigies widened their eyes in unison, their faces filled with shock.

A youth with an extraordinary aura and prominent features even exclaimed in shock: "The life-tracing white immortal bead you speak of, is it that legendary supreme treasure rumored to carry the mana, Divine Ability, and Legacy of Immortals?!"

Di Tian nodded without the slightest concealment: "That is indeed the case. Therefore, this is the reason why Leader Mo Yuan and I captured you and suppressed you here; the purpose is to open the entrance to the Secret Realm."

"Of course, you can rest assured. I can swear on my life that I will never do anything like burning bridges after crossing them."

"I guarantee that once the Secret Realm is opened, I will lift the suppression on you."

"At that time, whether you choose to enter the Secret Realm to compete with me for the life-tracing white immortal bead, or leave immediately..."

"...the choice is yours, and I will not interfere."

"Of course, if you choose to compete with me for the life-tracing white immortal bead, then we are enemies."

"At that time, inside the Secret Realm, I will naturally not hold back."

He possessed an invincible Dao Heart and a heart filled with pride to the bone.

If he wanted to, he could completely use these young Prodigies to open the Secret Realm entrance, and then have Leader Mo Yuan kill these young Prodigies.

But he would not do so. His pride and arrogance would never allow him to do such a thing!

If these young Prodigies wanted to compete, then let them compete!

He possessed an invincible Dao Heart and a heart filled with pride to the bone; if he was to compete, he would do so openly and honorably!

Hearing Di Tian's vow that he would not kill them after using them, this group of young Prodigies was clearly much more at ease, and the panic on their faces gradually faded.

Replacing it was a hint of desire!

It was a desire for the life-tracing white immortal bead!

Recently, the bizarre dao had invaded, the Heavenly Court had fallen, and before countless Immortals fell, they had hidden their mana, Divine Ability, and Legacy within individual White Beads of Immortals Fate-Tracing.

This earth-shattering event had already begun to spread wildly throughout the entire Ten Dynasties Divine Realm.

Nowadays, any young Prodigy with even a slight background likely knew about the life-tracing white immortal bead.

And according to Di Tian, this life-tracing white immortal bead was the first one to appear in the world, which made it even more tempting to them!

One must know that ancient experts rumored that if one could obtain the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear, upon refining it, one would definitely be able to Cultivate an Immortal Dao Avatar!

And once an Immortal Dao Avatar was Cultivated, one's strength would skyrocket!

Of course, it was not to say that only the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear in the world could Cultivate it; subsequent White Beads of Immortals Fate-Tracing could also allow one to Cultivate an Immortal Dao Avatar.

However, the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear would definitely allow one to Cultivate an Immortal Dao Avatar upon refining it.

While subsequent ones would require relying on one's own strength and Aptitude to Cultivate it!

Therefore, the first life-tracing white immortal bead to appear was the true supreme treasure that countless young Prodigies dreamed of, willing to fight until they were battered and bloody!

It had to be said that this group of young Prodigies was indeed tempted by the life-tracing white immortal bead in this Secret Realm.

If this life-tracing white immortal bead truly was the first one to appear in the world, then by that time, this Secret Realm would inevitably flow with rivers of blood and be piled high with corpses!

Meanwhile, Leader Mo Yuan arrived, followed by a group of young Prodigies he had captured.

"I wonder if these are enough..." Leader Mo Yuan muttered, suppressing this group of young Prodigies in front of the stone statue of the Mysterious Tortoise carrying the stele.

However, he and Di Tian waited for a long time, but they did not see any reaction from the stone statue.

Let alone the Mysterious Tortoise coming back to life, it could not even be bothered to emit a single ray of light for them.

"This... could it be that the number is still not enough?" Leader Mo Yuan was stunned on the spot, feeling that it was a bit tricky.

"Perhaps, but... Leader, did you miss some young Prodigies?" Di Tian said with a faint smile.

"Oh? Who?" Leader Mo Yuan seemed to sense something and turned to look at the Void Realm behind him.

"Fellow Daoists, since you are already here, why hide?" Di Tian said with a gentle tone and a smile.

As soon as his voice fell, the Void Realm twisted, and Lin Ran and the others walked out from the shadows.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian has truly amazing perception; I did not expect you to notice us even now." Lin Ran was not embarrassed, but instead smiled calmly.

"Your cultivation is about the same as mine; no matter how you hide, I can still perceive you."

"It is General Li, however, whose cultivation is much higher than mine, so I cannot perceive him."

"However, I do not need to perceive General Li. You have all followed here, so could General Li not have followed as well?"

This was true; Lin Ran and the others were all good seedlings of the Zifu Holy Land, pillars of talent expected to continue the Luck of the Zifu Holy Land.

General Li Bufan would naturally follow by their side to protect their safety.

Suddenly! Just as Lin Ran and the others appeared and gradually approached the stone statue, the stone statue of the Mysterious Tortoise carrying the stele bloomed with strands of golden light, dazzling and extraordinary, holy and pure, with hazy Immortal radiance, dreamlike and supreme.

On the surface of the stone statue, fragments of stone gradually fell off, making a continuous "rattling" sound.

The Mysterious Tortoise was indeed not a stone statue; when all the stone fragments on its surface fell off, it came to life.

Its massive body was like an ancient mountain, and with every breath it took, ancient trees would sway wildly, dust and sand would roll, and gusts of wind would blow.

The scripture stele carried on its back, after the stone fragments fell off, shone even more brilliantly with Dao light that lingered for a long time, full of supreme majesty!

The scriptures recorded on it seemed to flow like water, constantly changing, appearing very miraculous and bizarre!

"It seems that the young Prodigies we captured have brought the Mysterious Tortoise's revival to the final step."

"The appearance of Lin Ran and the others is precisely this last step!"
