Chapter 20: Titan Lord Primus [5]

Immediately he swallowed the chewed portion of the flower, Ju Feng felt the effect inside his body. It was like a dream to him since he was only recently thinking about how to truly increase his body nutrients and strength.

Now this?

It was simply too much for him to contain. He raised his head up to the sky and felt his eyes welled up. These were the food his body had been asking for. Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't know when he spoke up.

"Thank you, titan lord sir."

Seeing the effect on him and hearing his words, lord Primus decided it was time to let the family be. He changed the topic as he moved away from the pond.

"I'll take my leave now. There are some important things I need to take care of."

"We promised you our hospitality lord Primus. Please, we insist you come with us."

Zhang Wang Jing said expectantly.

"Hm. I can do that. Don't mind the trouble then."

Lord Primus responded with a soft smile as he joined the family to dine where they talked about how excellent the food was, food varieties, and farming among others. Moments later, lord Primus took his leave.

When they were alone, they all started to talk at once.

"I can't believe the pond was actually a treasure."

"No wonder the pond area was always calming and relaxing the soul".

"It is actually a magical pond."

"This place is more amazing than we thought."

Zhang Li Qiang changed his robe and together with the rest, went back to the pond. He went into the water and searched the pond floor. There were many giant white-striped turtles furrowed deep into pond floor. Remembering the words of the titan lord, he was very cautious as he went for a closer one. He quickly found out the reason for that, when he realized the turtle was a snapping turtle with deadly teeth and armoured shell. Although it's no threat to him as a Jindan cultivator, he could still loose an arm if caught off-guard.

After they got back, Zhang Wang Jing and Zhang Xiu Ying went to work on the turtle and the plants, along with the tubers. Few hours later, they had prepared a sumptuous meal out of the materials.

With delight, Ju Feng ravished the meat and tubers. After eating to his heart satisfaction, he felt his body undergoing drastic changes. Feeling dizzy and sleepy, he went into his room and collapsed on the bed. Immediately he lay in bed, he fell asleep and dreamt of a strange world.

In his dreams, Ju Feng was sleeping in a bed of cloud, floating in the sky. Below him, the world was filled with turbulent water. Suddenly, there came sounds of thunder, coming from all around him. Startled awake in his bed of cloud, he blinked his eyes open and saw rising from the water, was a gigantic black beast.

The Devonian armoured turtle!

And above it was a raging massive cloud, emitting thunderous sounds and lightning.

The Devonian armoured turtle was looking up at the raging cloud with burning defiance. The cloud raged more fiercely, gathering more strength as it thundered more loudly, raining down lightning bolts as thick as a giant's torso. They were striking the Devonian armoured turtle all over its body, but the armoured turtle just continued looking on with a deadpan face. Not even bothered when they hit its body, they had no effect on its body as it continued looking at the raging cloud with complete defiance.

Then the cloud began to spiral. It gained so much momentum, forming a vortex of typhoon over the armoured turtle as the lightning bolts started combining together. At the same time, the turtle's armoured shell started radiating a golden light which proceeded to gain in brilliance, and soon became an epic fortress of a yellow-gold light.

The lightning bolts formed a single lightning bolt which began to gather the energy of the heavens before transforming into an enormous pillar of bolt, the type that had the might of disintegrating worlds.

Colossal spatial rifts were formed as the bolt of lightning streaked down and struck the fortress of light created by the armoured turtle. There was a deafening sound as the impact caused gigantic water waves and an aurora of blinding blue-gold light. The surface of the water was turned into a steaming fury. It took several hours for a little normalcy to return to the steaming world.

The Devonian armoured turtle raised its head, looked at the cloud and slowly shook it.

"Is that the best you have to show, Fotios?

The turtle squeezed its eyes shut as he contemplated in his head.

"How long do you plan doing this, Fotios?"

Fotios, a terrifyingly massive white wyvern emerged from the cloud. With eyes filled with rage to the point of insanity, its nose began to flare dark smoke.

"As long as it takes, you stupid turtle."

"Stop wasting my time, Fotios. After a billion years of trying, still, you are no match for me. I don't even need to strike you. Just go away and try finding something worthy to do. It will do you good on the long run."

The armoured turtle turned away from the cloud, and was about to return to his place at the depth of the turbulent water, when the voice of Fotios boomed out again.

"Don't you dare turn your back on me, Zothikos."

"Or what? Strike me with lightning? Pfff, go away. I have important things to do."

"Important things? Like slumbering sleep? Mhm, important your head."

The cloud started to rage again, gathering in more strength. The Devonian armoured turtle, with a great bellow, spiralled out of the water, creating two whirlpools of water and golden lights. The whirlpools combined and compressed into a disc of translucent gold light, taking off in a lightning speed in the direction of the cloud.

"The divine sphere?"

Fotios shouted with wide alarmed eyes. It quickly retreated back into the cloud, and used its defensive items including the Heavens Fetter Seal, a one time life saving seal.

When the disc of translucent gold light neared the cloud, it exploded into a massive wave of motion attack. The collision dissipated half of the cloud and knocked it several meters further back into the sky, while turbulent waves covered the surface of the water.

"You foolish turtle! You really want to kill me! I will be back for you and you better be prepared, you stupid useless turtle."

Fotios voice sounded out from the half-cloud as he sped away.

"How is that my fault? Every time you disturb my peace. Why come here looking for a fight when you are not strong enough? Your fault, not mine."

The turtle shrugged and went back into the water.

One hour later, Ju Feng woke up from his sleep and spent few minutes thinking about this dream which was clearly engraved in his memory. But, why armoured turtle? Why turtle at all? Couldn't it be about yellow fish? Dreams, you just couldn't understand them at times.

He stretched his body and instantly noticed the difference in strength. With a broad smile on his face, he went to the training area and started training in the reverse method the titan lord had shown them. The more he trained, the more he smiled. Although he had great strength before, but since eating the meal and practicing the new method, his body was growing stronger and more powerful.

Every member of the family received the same effect on their bodies from the meal, though none of them dreamt of the armoured turtle and the cloud wyvern.

It quickly became a routine for Ju Feng. He would wake up in the morning, chewed some lily flowers, and then used the new method to train his body. He trained in martial arts using the Shifting Heavens and Skylight techniques. After that, he would eat his meal containing the smallest turtle meat before engaging in cultivation, using the astral primal technique. And lastly, he would sleep while meditating, using the soul serenity technique.
