Chapter 34: Golden Vein Meteoroid Mountain Turtle
The turtle was in contract to govern and protect the forest with one of the founding members of the city. It was supposed to be a 100-year contract in exchange for 100,000 gold. However, the founding member was unscrupulous and changed the contract duration to 3000 years without the turtle knowing. Thus the turtle had no choice but to be confined to this forest as blinded by the contract.
Wei Di looked at the turtle in pity and straightforwardly said "I know your situation, you probably have been here for 700 years already. But I can help you break your bond if you become my mount."
The turtle also stared at Wei Di before turning his head away. The turtle said " I won't trust you, humans, anymore plus no one can break a contractual bond."
Wei Di walked towards it and said "Let me give it a shot, maybe you might be lucky?"
With that Wei Di placed his hand over its turtle shell.
"Wait..what are you doing.." the turtle quickly asked.
"The heavens oversee all, break the bond as one was deceit and punish the deceiver as he deserves" Wei Di chanted and channel his energy into the turtle shell.
As soon as Wei DI finished chanting, a huge shockwave emitted out and even uprooted some surrounding trees. The turtle jerked in shock but nonetheless he was unharmed.
Suddenly, the turtle sensed that there was a disconnection between it and the forest. It was in astonishment and muttered, "How can that be.. what sorcery did you just do?";
"Hey don't compare this with sorceryl this skill is called Heaven Judgement" Wei Di casually replied.
" The famed Heaven Judgement ?!?! ...no way..legend says that only ancient spiritual beast gods are able to activate it as ancestors of all beast"
Wei Di smirked "I happen to have a pretty friendly relationship with one of them..so you better repay me back by becoming my mount."
"A friendly relationship..with an ancient spiritual beast god" The turtle muttered
The turtle immediately recognize what a presence Wei Di is. The turtle shouted respectfully "Ahh Yes of course! it is my honour to be the mount for someone who knows an ancient spiritual beast god."
On the other hand, the shadow spirit whispered to Wei Di "How is this small turtle even going to carry you master."
Wei Di and the turtle both laughed at the same time in unison. Indeed the turtle looked just like any other turtle. Other than the fact that it had a greyish turtle shell and dull gold streaks. Wei Di introduced "This is the Golden Vein Metrodroid Mountain Turtle. You ever heard of the Huyu island in the northern sea?"
The shadow spirit replied "Yeah.. of course that is the most famous port island in the northern sea...wait are you saying that the myth is really true?"
The myth that the shadow spirit was referred to was the founding of the Huyu island. Legends have it that the famed impenetrable Huyu island, one of the busiest ports in the country was built on a gigantic turtle that passed away.
"Yes that's right! This turtle here is a living example of it..most of them have gone beyond the borders in search of gold and other better minerals to feed on." Wei Di replied.
The golden vein meteoroid mountain turtle was the perfect mount. Not only could it travel on land but also on the sea. Furthermore, it is able to transform its size at will. Most importantly due to its meteoroid shell, its defenses were deemed impenetrable.
Wei Di then took out a storage ring containing 50,000 spiritual gold coins from his pocket. He then passed it to the Metrodriod turtle.
"For now you are my companion, also this is the compensation for your service for a year. I promise I will also repay back the amount Fengfan city owns you in the future." Wei Di pat the turtle head.
With that gesture, the turtle's eyes started to well up as its tears were on the verge. Not only was it finally able to leave the forest after being trapped in the forest, he felt being appreciated.
"Oh lets name you hui gui (grey turtle).. since your shell is greyish and it Hui gui sounds like coming back to home" Wei Di whimsically said.
"Gong…" was the sound of the drum, which is to signal cultivators to exit the inner forest before it becomes dark. As they exited, the forest, all eyes were on Wei Di. Everyone was shocked at the choice of Wei Di . While the turtle might look unique with its greyish shell with gold streaks , there was no way a turtle that smal could be a mount. In fact it looked more like a pet.
