Chapter 1261: Turtle’s Saint Tribulation

Bubbles and dirt rose from the seabed.

“What is this?” Feiyun leaped into the air and used his heavenly gaze.

The turtle, the fruit, and the six priests stood on top of an island. At first, only ten miles of land were above the water. Now, it started floating and became far larger.

“I can’t find the well at all.” Feiyun landed and said.

The six priests adored Feiyun and viewed him as the chosen one.

“Did the battle between the saints change the lower terrain?” One of them asked.

Meanwhile, the turtle stared at the ocean like a statue. The fruit copied its pose.

“Wait a bit, we should find out after a few more days.” Feiyun also seemed to be contemplating.

The priests left eventually. Due to the invasion, they had to go save the rest of their race.

After the event at the well, the invaders were either killed or had fled the area. At the very least, Feiyun couldn’t sense any of them.

After one day, the island floated one thousand meters above the ocean and looked like a continent now.

At this point, Feiyun had a pretty good idea: “The lost continent is finally surfacing.”

The gales became violent enough to tear his robe apart at this height. The scene ahead was magnificent. It looked like a world was appearing.

As for the turtle, it felt the rising continent and became one with it.

“Haha, I understand now, so to become a saint, one must see through the world. My saint path is one of freedom, laugh when I want to laugh and cry when I want to cry. Abandon all pretenses and masks!” The turtle laughed: “Feiyun, keep an eye out for me, I will face my tribulation now!”

With that, it stopped breathing. The turtle was already close to the saint level but it didn’t prepare enough. It sensed the dao of the saint after observing the floating continent.

That was a rare opportunity to see the shift from death to life. It would have taken a long time for a second dao enlightenment opportunity.

Feiyun was excited for it as well. Becoming a saint meant becoming a supreme being in this world. Just one drop of blood could kill a pseudo-saint.

There was no saint here right now, so the presence of one was sorely needed.

The fruit was also in a strange state, staring at the chaotic sky without moving.

“Rumble!” The laws in this world have changed just like the terrain.

Feiyun sat in a meditative pose and protected the two. He also sent a telepathic message to the six priests, telling them to evacuate their people.

Powerful seamen wouldn’t be affected when coming on shore, but regular ones would have issues.

After three days, Feiyun felt his dao embryo changing to the reaction stage.

Now, the island was more than 5,000 meters high with millions and millions miles of land.

After one month, Feiyun’s divine intent could no longer gauge it. Fish and coral reefs couldn’t survive on the surface. Some palaces could also be seen.

Feiyun released Qilin Monarch and Hell Yama, ordering them to find ancient herbs. The two brought back many precious herbs and treasures each day.

Some were precious enough to move Feiyun. One was a purple liquid with a special power, seemingly made from dao laws.

“Heavenly Dao Water? I see, the shift from ocean to land caused this.” Feiyun said, ecstatic to see the highest level of natural treasure.

Its formation was the same as rain. When hot and cold clouds collided, they turned into rain. Something similar happened here - the ocean was yin and the sky was yang, resulting in this liquid.

If one had enough of this liquid, they could become a saint in just a short time.

“Beasts, go search for this liquid right now. Either use it yourself or bring it back to me.” Feiyun released all 10,000 beasts to find more liquid. They were at the eighth level and were rather intelligent.

Another month passed by. The turtle still showed no sign of life.

Feiyun began to worry since this was a saint tribulation. Although the turtle seemed to have grasped the heavenly dao, he didn’t move at all for two months now.

“These tribulations are all difficult, let’s see if he can surpass it.” Feiyun waited for a whole year.

Normally, this should last for half a year at most. It looked like failure. This was a common occurrence even for deified geniuses.

He waited one more year and began to doubt.

“Just one more year then I’ll bring him back to West Bull for a proper burial.” Feiyun said before continuing to meditate.

After one more year, Southrich began to change. Land vegetables and trees started to grow.

“Just one more year, not a day longer.” Feiyun had said this line seven times already before continuing to cultivate.

He had not moved an inch for a decade now and had become covered in snow due to the high terrain. This was the highest peak of the new continent - 180,000 meters above sea level.
