Chapter 222: Trade-offs
"How so?"
Chen Zhe and Zhu Zhuqing glanced at each other, both extremely confused.
As we all know, turtles have always been synonymous with longevity, and this is especially true among soul beasts.
Looking at the appearance of the old turtle, although it looks very old, the life energy is already sufficient and majestic.
But now it's actually saying it's going to die?
As if seeing the confusion between the two, the old turtle smiled and said, "It's not the end of life in the traditional sense······ I don't know if you've ever heard of the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Chen Zhe was shocked when he heard this.
Cataclysm.
This is a setting of Douluo Er's soul beasts.
Legend has it that after the soul beast enters the 100,000 years, it needs to survive the heavenly tribulation.
From the time that soul beast entered the 100,000 year, if it didn't choose to transform into a human form and rebuild, there would definitely be a heavenly tribulation within a thousand years.
It's not all over.
If you do, you will live for the next 100,000 years.
That is, after cultivating to break through 200,000 years, it is necessary to survive the next even more terrifying heavenly tribulation within a thousand years.
And so on until the end of the soul beast's life, or the death of the next heavenly tribulation.
It is said that Emperor Tian, led by the top ten fierce beasts, had already survived the six heavenly tribulations when he was in Douluo II.
It has 700,000 years of terrifying cultivation.
And now listen to what the old turtle means······
"Hehe, it seems that Xiaoyou is also a knowledgeable human." The old turtle looked at the two of them, Zhu Zhuqing looked confused, but Chen Zhe's eyes showed shock and abruptness.
Immediately, he was still empathetic and explained the things about the Heavenly Tribulation.
is not far from what Chen Zhe knew, and Zhu Zhuqing finally showed a sudden look.
Only then did the old turtle slowly say, "Just as the two little friends thought, the old man's second catastrophe is coming."
This is also equivalent to telling Chen Zhe and the two of them his true cultivation.
200,000 years!
Looking at the shocked look in Chen Zhe's eyes, the old turtle smiled slightly bitterly: "But the old man is not sure to get through. Or rather, it's a death-defying situation!"
Hearing its words, Chen Zhe and the others were silent for a while, and those little turtles whimpered one by one, and they all burst into tears.
The sad atmosphere began to brew, and Chen Zhe and the two were also a little infected, and Zhu Zhuqing squeezed Chen Zhe's hand.
It was rare that she would feel sad about the imminent death of a soul beast!
But the next moment, the old turtle emitted a glow, and in an instant, the sad emotions that lingered on everyone's heads were dispelled.
Although the look in the eyes of those little turtles who were originally very sad was still a little sad, they no longer shed tears.
It's like being purified!
Chen Zhetong shrank his face, feeling a little surprised by this hand.
Even emotions can evolve?
"What are you crying about, the old man can't see the tears anymore, so he will hold back the old man!"
The old turtle reprimanded the little turtle beside him, and then looked at Chen Zhe: "The old man said this, does Xiaoyou understand?"
Chen Zhe shook his head, this only explained his motive for doing so.
Or rather, part of the motivation.
"Why me?" Chen Zhe asked suspiciously, "Could it be that it is really the so-called fate as the predecessors said before?"
The old turtle nodded slowly, affirming Chen Zhe's guess, its eyes seemed to have endless wisdom, and it said leisurely:
"The old man knew that Xiaoyou couldn't believe it for a while, but the old man was convinced of it!"
"Just as the old man can see, it is impossible for the old man to survive this catastrophe safely, and the same is true for Xiaoyou, you are a person with great luck, and you are also related to our Xuangui clan, which is worthy of trust."
Chen Zhe's eyes remained unchanged, and he did not show any joy because of the affirmation in the old turtle's words:
"What are you going to do?"
"Or rather, what do I get? And what do you have to give?"
This old turtle has something, Chen Zhe can be sure of this.
The previous encounter with the soul hunting and the group in front of him, who were obviously more than one grade smarter than other soul beasts, were the best proof of this.
"Sacrifice!" Unexpectedly, the old turtle slowly spat out the word.
It and Chen Zhe's eyes were clear: "I voluntarily sacrifice to Xiaoyou, become Xiaoyou's seventh soul ring, and give you all the old man's lifelong cultivation!"
"And what Xiaoyou wants to do is to take care of the clan of one or two old husbands after the old man dies and give them a future." Its eyes looked at the group of Lingxi turtles at its feet who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, sighed softly, and said:
"They were all grown up and taught by the old man himself, and the old man really doesn't want them to suffer misfortune after the old man leaves."
It seems to have a premonition of something, so that it is extremely unoptimistic about the future of its own race.
Chen Zhe frowned, thought about it, and decided to ask clearly: "Are the seniors too high?"
Chen Zhe shook his head and said, "Although I have some talent, I am still just a Soul Emperor now. Although there are some forces in the outside world, this has nothing to do with your soul beast world, how can I protect them?"
He had too many things to do, how could he be distracted and shelter a group of Lingxi Xuan Turtles in this Star Dou Great Forest?
"Moreover, I, a human being, came to the Star Dou Great Forest to protect your race, no matter how I think about it, it's impossible!"
Unless this group of soul beasts is willing to go with them and relocate to the Heavenly Blade Mountain Range.
In this way, Chen Zhe may be able to give them some shelter, otherwise when he returns to the Northland, he will not know anything about it here, and there will be no way to talk about shelter.
But looking at the appearance of the old turtle, it is obviously difficult to leave the homeland.
The old turtle smiled when he heard this, and said, "You don't need to protect yourself all the time! It just takes some support at some critical moments."
It looked at the Lingxi Turtles under its feet with tenderness, and said, "Children always have to grow up on their own, and as for Xiaoyou, it's just the last insurance. An insurance that can only be used when the survival of the race is at stake."
It didn't mention it at all, how should Chen Zhe know if the Lingxi Xuangui clan was experiencing life and death, it seemed to be so certain, when the crisis appeared, Chen Zhe would know it, and he could rush there.
Chen Zhe's brows furrowed slightly, so he really didn't like to deal with this kind of god stick!
He admitted that he was very interested in the sacrifice of the old turtle, after all, it represented a 100,000-year soul ring and a pair of 100,000-year soul bones, and no one could refuse this temptation.
But this is not a small amount of trouble.
Looking at the hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to refuse, the old turtle sighed in his heart, Chen Zhe's cautious style that almost did not touch cause and effect made it feel a little headache.
He would rather not have his own sacrifice than be burdened with a huge trouble.
But it also strengthened its confidence.
Because this also means that once Chen Zhe agrees, he will work hard to complete the agreement between them.
This kind of commitment-oriented person is always more trustworthy than those who run the train with their mouths full.
What it has to do now is how to dispel the doubts in Chen Zhe's heart.
It is necessary to let him know that it is not difficult for him to take care of his own people, and let him know that he is not an idiot who delivers goods to his door, let alone a gangster with other plans.
After thinking about it, the old turtle said, "The old man is sure that there is luck in this world, and the luck of the Lingxi Xuan Turtle clan is tied to the old man. If the old man sacrificed to Xiaoyou, even if there is a trace of karmic entanglement between the Lingxi Xuangui clan and Xiaoyou, the old man has calculated countless times, if your sacrifice and my sacrifice can be completed, then Xiaoyou will definitely be able to save our clan once in a time of crisis."
Chen Zhe couldn't see any expression on the old turtle's face, but the certainty in his tone and the look in his eyes
The conviction that flowed out of it can still be clearly felt.
But ······
The entanglement of fate, this kind of thing is very mysterious, Chen Zhe feels that in an extraordinary world like Douluo Continent, he would rather believe in it than believe in it.
"One last question." Chen Zhe took a light breath and made a choice: "Senior doesn't know what the crisis you expected was yourself?"
The sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old soul beast was in Taixiang, and Chen Zhe felt that even if he really had some causal involvement with this Lingxi Xuangui clan, he would not be at a loss!
In other words, if it is really as the old turtle said, if you can easily solve it, it is actually your own blood!
The old turtle shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Fate has its own laws to follow, but no one can see clearly what the established fate is, and neither can the old man."
Chen Zhe: "······"
After glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, in her slightly excited encouraging eyes, Chen Zhe said, "That's good! This cause and effect is taken below, and you and I make a deal. What are the seniors going to do? Do you want to wait until I get to the seventieth level and come back here to find my senior?"
Hearing this, the old turtle finally showed a hint of a smile, and said, "It's okay to wait for you to come to me again at level seventy, and within five years, my heavenly tribulation will not come."
"But I have another option here." The old turtle's eyes looked at Chen Zhe and said, "I will sacrifice to you directly, and use the connection established between you and me at the moment of sacrifice to use my lifelong cultivation to forcibly raise your soul power level to level seventy."
"Then, I'll attach a soul ring to you."
Chen Zhe and Zhu Zhuqing were both stunned: "Can you still do this?"
Chen Zhe's mind flashed at this time, and he remembered that Tang San seemed to have accepted the sacrifices of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape when he was at level eighty-five in the original book, and his cultivation was forcibly raised to level ninety.
Chen Zhe glanced at the old turtle with a calm expression, the energy should be enough, after all, it is an old turtle that has reached 200,000 years of cultivation.
On the other hand, I need to think about whether I can accommodate and absorb the lifelong cultivation of the complete old turtle.
"Yes, that's what you think, little friend." The old turtle smiled and said, "The old man's cultivation is strong enough, so that your current sixty-fourth level soul power can be directly raised to seventy levels, there is no problem at all."
"Even so, there may be a lot of surplus!"
It can be seen that Chen Zhe has a strong foundation, but it still says so, and even this is only a conservative estimate.
Chen Zhe frowned slightly, he didn't doubt him, what he was thinking about was whether he could really absorb it completely?
After all, his sixth ring is only 60,000 years old······
That's a lot of span!
At this moment, in the depths of Chen Zhe's consciousness, a voice suddenly came.
It's little Xuanwu.
It said, no problem, if something happens, forget it!
Chen Zhe has a black line.
