The sea water approached Xiao Yu and naturally parted to both sides.
Xiao Yu clasped his hands behind his back and walked forward step by step. Wherever he passed, green water plants and various underwater plants quickly grew a foot taller.
On the cliff below the dim seabed, there is a raised platform. It seems that no one has cleaned the platform for many years, and there are many aquatic creatures growing on it.
There is a mound among the water plants, which is covered with various down-like hairs and hairs, and there are many holes.
A series of bubbles spit out from those holes from time to time.
At this moment, a seemingly nonexistent wave came from the distant sea.
The wave of waves gently crossed this small mound.
At this moment, the small mound of soil that was originally covered with downy hair suddenly began to tremble.
All the water plants covering it fell to the ground, and a huge turtle shell appeared on the stone platform.
Then a head protruded from the turtle shell. The person seemed to have just woken up from sleep, with his eyes half open and half closed, as if he had not recovered.
Suddenly, the old turtle's eyes widened and his pupils shrank rapidly, as if he had seen something incredible.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of him.
The person who came was wearing a green robe, with long hair shawl, and a smile. It was Xiao Yu who had just arrived here.
When he first arrived here, Xiao Yu found Master Gui sleeping, so he didn't disturb him.
When they were almost there, there was a wave of fluctuation that woke the other party up.
Seeing Xiao Yu in front of him, Master Gui didn't come back to his senses for a long time. His eyes looked around and around the person before he swayed and transformed into an old man with a white beard.
"The Guardian Black Turtle of the South China Sea has met the Immortal Master..."
Lord Turtle's cultivation is at the peak of the Earth Immortal. Now that he can't see through Xiao Yu's cultivation, doesn't that mean he has already broken through to the Heavenly Immortal?
In Taoism, regardless of age, it depends on the strength of cultivation, and the strong are respected.
"Sir, please don't do this. Xiao Yu can't bear it."
Xiao Yu was also busy bowing and saluting the old man.
In his memory, Lord Turtle seemed to have never asked for anything from him, and he had never repaid him in return.
"I didn't expect that when I woke up, Zhenjun actually broke through to the level of heavenly immortal. How many years have passed since then?"
Lord Turtle looked at Xiao Yu and said with some doubts.
"It has been five or six years since I last saw you, sir."
"What, five or six years?
Oh my god, it’s incredible. Six years ago, you broke through the realm of earthly immortals, and now you’ve broken through the realm of heavenly immortals. Doesn’t that mean that you can become a saint in another ten years?”
Lord Turtle covered his mouth with one hand and looked at the sea above his head, as if he had said something wrong.
Lord Turtle has lived for nearly three thousand years, and he has never seen any Taoist genius.
A heavenly being who is less than half a hundred years old, this is the strongest person he has seen in three thousand years, how can he not be surprised?
"Senior, please don't joke. If those senior saints hear it, they will punish you."
Xiao Yu also lowered his voice and reminded the other party in a low voice.
Although Lord Turtle is not an immortal, he is not an ordinary demon, and he also obeys Kunlun's orders, so the other party is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Since you call me senior, it means you haven't forgotten your roots.
Tell me, why did you come to see me today, Old Turtle?
I don’t think you’re hosting a banquet after your breakthrough and inviting me to drink.”
Lao Gui walked to the side and sat down, then looked back at Xiao Yu with a faint smile on his face.
"Drinks are of course indispensable. I brought several jars to senior today."
Xiao Yu collected a lot of fine wine when he was in Penglai, so drinking wine was not a problem for him at all.
More than a dozen jars of wine appeared on the high platform, and Xiao Yu made an inviting gesture.
"Yes, Penglai drinks, it seems you went to Penglai Secret Land.
Hehe, come prepared."
Master Gui glanced at Xiao Yu twice, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Then two wide pieces of kelp rolled out from under the two of them and turned into a seat.
"You are a baby, but I have watched you grow up.
When you and the old fish spirit came to me, you were not yet at the level of Xiaocheng. Now you have reached the level of perfection and have reached the level of immortality.
From now on, there will be few rivals, and the world will be free and happy."
Lord Turtle let out a long sigh, then waved his hand, and two swimming fish flew over, picked up a wine jar, and filled it up for the two of them.
For a great demon who has lived for nearly three thousand years, it seems quite shocking to suddenly see a child surpassing him.
This was not because Xiao Yu came here to show off, but because he really wanted to thank the other party and ask what was going on with the mermaid clan.
"I'm a little embarrassed by what senior said. If you want to make a breakthrough, how can we juniors have a chance?
Come, Xiao Yu would like to toast you with this glass of wine, I hope you can attain the great truth as soon as possible."
Xiao Yu raised his glass, and Master Gui also raised the wine jar in his hand, and then they each drank a long drink.
"I guess my sealed memory has been opened. Do you want to ask about the mermaid clan?
In fact, if you don’t ask, you will naturally know when the time comes. Now that you are here, I will tell you today.”
Elder Turtle held the wine jar, stood up and looked under the stone platform, saying as if reminiscing.
"The mermaid clan hides under the deep sea and never comes into contact with the outside world..."
As Lord Turtle said this, he pointed Xiao Yu in a direction, which was the habitat of the mermaid clan.
Half an hour later, Lord Turtle told Xiao Yu the basic situation of the mermaid clan.
Even how the Qiankun Fan came from, Lord Turtle also explained it.
"Senior, since the mermaid clan does not have contact with the outside world, why did you give me the Qiankun Fan?"
Xiao Yu stood up and came to Lord Turtle, saying with some confusion.
"Why?"
Lord Turtle looked at Xiao Yu, and then nodded on him.
"Because you, Xuantian Pavilion, are kind to them, even if they don't give me face, they can't forget their kindness.
Rumor has it that people who drink the blood of mermaids can live forever and can refine elixirs of immortality.
So the emperor summoned the magicians from all over the world and asked them to hunt the mermaids.
Your Xuantian Pavilion had a very high prestige among the people at that time, so you were warned by the emperor to go out to sea to catch mermaids.
The head of Xuantian Pavilion at that time accompanied them. They crossed the deep sea, crossed the ocean, and found the mermaid's habitat on a small island.
Although mermaids have immortal powers, if they attack mortals, they would violate Taoist laws, so they can only run away.
Moreover, after the mermaid lands on the shore, its magic power will disappear. After being besieged by mortals on the shore, it can only become the target of being killed.
At that time, the head of Xuantian Pavilion felt compassion and used a simple five-element illusion to confuse the soldiers, and then released more than a dozen mermaids.
This is why when I said you were the head of Xuantian Pavilion, they gave you a Qiankun fan as a greeting gift.
Now if they knew what you had done, they would probably be shocked, haha."
Lord Turtle put down the wine jar in his hand, grabbed Xiao Yu's arm, and left in an instant, appearing hundreds of miles away in the blink of an eye.
A hundred miles away, there is a huge whirlpool under the water. From the water, it still looks calm. However, if a ship passes by here, it will be sucked into the whirlpool, and then appear again a hundred miles away.
But Xiao Yu and the two entered it without any scruples, letting the whirlpool wrap them up and disappear in place.
