Chapter 867 - Futile Solutions
However, the problem Leon mentioned was not a problem for the Black Turtle God Beast at all.
'You don't have to worry about that. Give this Old Turtle a moment.'
'What are you planning to do, Senior?'
The Black Turtle God Beast did not answer Leon's question, but he shortly felt the seafloor begin to shake like an earthquake before more blood essence oozed out from the gaps in the nine Godly Divine Needles.
'Senior, you… If you do this, you will suffer,' Leon said with surprise.
He did not expect the Black Turtle God Beast to move forcefully to bleed a bit more just to aid him in his cultivation.
'This Old Turtle has been sealed down here with these nine Godly Divine Needles impaled in my body so many years; this little bit of pain is nothing,' the Black Turtle God Beast said.
Meanwhile, Luna had been secretly spying on their interaction through her share of the omniscient ability as the other half of the realm spirit.
Three weeks ago, Leon and Grandpa Turtle were like fire and water, and yet now, they were all buddy-buddy.
Grandpa Turtle was even willing to sacrifice some blood for Leon.
She knew just how much the Black Turtle God Beast had grown to detest humans, which made it all the more surprising for what it was doing.
At the same time, Leon didn't expect the Black Turtle God Beast to be so selfless just because they could properly communicate.
He had underestimated how much the Black Turtle God Beast viewed him as an addition to its Black Turtle Clan.
While watching more blood essence ooze out of the gaps in the nine towering pillars before Leon noticed the Black Turtle God Beast's movements had loosened the nine Godly Divine Needles.
'Senior, have you ever thought about removing these Godly Divine Needles?' Leon inquired.
'You ask such a strange question, boy. Who in their right mind would want to stay under the suppression of these nine Godly Divine Needles if they were given a choice?' the Black Turtle God Beast responded.
It made a clear point.
Saying that his question was strange was just putting it nicely; it was actually a stupid question.
Nevertheless, Leon just wanted to confirm the Black Turtle God Beast's desire to be freed from the nine Godly Divine Needles' suppression.
'Senior's movements have loosened the nine Godly Divine Needles over the years, so it might be possible to remove it and free Senior from them,' Leon stated.
However, he failed to produce any positive response from the Black Turtle God Beast.
'Haiz, you are clearly underestimating these nine Godly Divine Needles, boy,' the Black Turtle God Beast sighed and said, 'It doesn't matter if this Old Turtle's movements had loosened them; no one below Celestial Emperor will be able to lift them.'
'That might not be true, Senior,' Leon argued.
'The water in the Bone Sea has a higher density than ordinary water, which also means a higher buoyancy force to reduce the weight of these nine Godly Divine Needles.'
'Therefore, if we remove all the landmass weighing down on Senior's body, it might be possible to lift these Godly Divine Needles with the help of the Dark Wyrm Clan.'
'Even if that is the case, you forgot to account for the needles' tips that penetrated the hull of the realmship. You'll still need at least 100-billion jin of raw physical strength to lift these needles,' the Black Turtle God Beast stated.
After hearing that, Leon furrowed his brows in thought.
It was apparent that he had been too hopeful. The required labor was indeed much higher than he anticipated.
If he wanted to lift 100-billion jin, he would need at least 10-thousand Early-rank Arch Demon-level Dark Wyrms, which he didn't have.
He had no choice but to abandon that plan.
'Senior is right. This Junior was too hopeful,' Leon admitted.
'However, we have options to explore. I heard that these Godly Divine Needles' weight and size are adjustable. Once I bind these Godly Divine Needles, Senior can be free after I shrink them.'
'You're very optimistic, but it's no use,' the Black Turtle God Beast commented wryly.
'These Godly Divine Needles are bound by the Great Void Celestial Conqueror. Therefore, no one else can bind these Godly Divine Needles unless the Great Void Celestial Conqueror dies.'
'I believe we still have another option, Senior,' Leon said with a confident look.
Although his Nihility Law might not be strong enough to erase something on the level of the Godly Divine Needles, it should be more than capable of erasing the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's binding.
The Black Turtle God Beast could quickly guess Leon's intention, but it immediately opposed his idea with a firm tone.
'Absolutely not! You must not use Nihility to erase the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's trace of will on the Godly Divine Needles! Once you do, the Great Void Celestial Conqueror will immediately know about you and your ability.'
After Leon heard that, he was immediately startled by it.
If the Great Void Celestial Conqueror could truly sense him across such great distance, removing the Great Void Celestial Conqueror's trace of will with Nihility was the same as courting death!
Leon expended his ideas one by one before he felt less optimistic about the Black Turtle God Beast's situation.
'Is there no other way to free Senior?' Leon asked helplessly.
'Unless you can head to the Myriad Beast Star Realm and ask the Blue Dragon Emperors for help, there is no other way except raising your strength until you can free Old Turtle yourself,' the Black Turtle God Beast stated.
'Nevertheless, heading to the Myriad Beast Star Realm and asking the Blue Dragon Emperors for help also possess a certain level of risk.'
'Right,' Leon agreed.
He understood what the risk was exactly.
The Radiant Heaven Realmship might not be among the top-tier divine artifacts from the primordial age, but it was still a great divine artifact to have for traveling great distances.
Many would kill for it, and Leon knew this well.
'This Old Turtle appreciates your goodwill, but you do not need to worry about this. Just focus on your cultivation, boy.'
'Yes, Senior.'
