nChapter 1

nIn the backyard of the thatched cottage in Dayang Town Inn, Xiao Changtian was wearing a green robe. He looked handsome and carefree as he held half a bowl of corn in his hand and mumbled.

n“When other people transmigrate, they use a heaven-defying immortal artifact or a divine-grade cultivation technique! Why did my system give me a green tortoise?”

nXiao Changtian lowered his head and sighed.

nIn his previous life, he was an animal caretaker. Because he stayed up late to cultivate, he suddenly died and transmigrated.

nHe had thought that after transmigrating, he would be able to obtain a cheat system and be invincible in the other world!

nHowever, he had awakened the ‘Never Cultivate’ system.

nHe obtained a green tortoise, and his daily task was to feed the tortoise!

nCompleting daily missions would give skill bonuses, but these skills had nothing to do with immortal cultivation.

nIf it weren’t for the system telling him that the path of invincibility would be activated after he had collected all the animals in the zoo in his previous life, he would have committed suicide.

nA female cultivator in a long dress flew past the sky. Xiao Changtian only dared to look at her enviously. He lowered his head and threw another corn grain into the pond.

nThe green-furred tortoise in the pond ate the corn and burped. It twisted its four short legs and turned around, and a white tortoise egg the size of a thumb fell out.

nXiao Changtian lifted his eyebrow as he thought, “Tortoise can lay eggs?”

nHowever, the tortoise was a male.

nTortoise egg?

nXiao Changtian was stunned. He even wondered if it was reasonable.

nHowever, on second thought, the system gave this tortoise! This egg was probably also provided by the system.

nHe picked up the tortoise egg and prepared to study it. As expected, the system’s voice sounded.

n“Ding! Publishing mission. Let the first person who enters the cottage today eat the tortoise egg. Reward: The Big Lucky Blind Box.”

nThe system’s voice resounded in Xiao Changtian’s mind.

n“The Big Lucky Blind Box?”

nXiao Changtian’s eyes lit up.

n“Could it be a powerful cultivation technique?” Xiao Changtian thought.

nIt was dark outside, and stars filled the sky.

nXiao Changtian lay on the rocking chair with anticipation. “What’s inside the blind box? A peerless divine technique or an invincible cultivation base?”

nJust after Xiao Changtian spoke, a seven-colored light exploded in the dark sky. The entire night sky glowed gorgeously.

n“It’s so late at night, and there’s still someone setting off fireworks.”

nXiao Changtian was puzzled. He immediately felt a wave of sleepiness and remembered that he had suddenly died while cultivating his previous life. He quickly got up and prepared to go back to sleep.

nMeanwhile, a thousand meters away from Dayang Town.

nThe nine-headed Phoenix turned pale, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

nShe was attacked by an alliance when breaking through to the Greater Vehicle Realm. Her realm fell, and she was seriously injured.

n“No! My cultivation level is dropping too fast. If I drain up my vital energy to escape, it will cause irreversible damage to my foundation.

nOn Mu Jiuhuang’s pale face, her phoenix eyes squinted and locked on the thatched cottage next to the inn.

n“Right now, I can only stay here and hide. It’ll be good if I can delay for a while.”

nAt the thought of this, Mu Jiuhuang’s figure flashed, and she arrived in front of the thatched house.

nXiao Changtian had fallen asleep. But when he heard the sound, he instantly understood that someone was coming.

nJoy rushed through Xiao Changtian. Finally, someone had come. The blind box was about to open. He was going to be invincible!

nHe opened the wooden door and saw a woman in a red dress. She exuded a noble and cold aura, and her appearance was unparalleled!

nXiao Changtian looked at Mu Jiuhuang. Although the blood at the corner of her mouth had been wiped away, her pale face still revealed that she was frail. She looked anxious.

n“Young lady, are you being hunted?”

nXiao Changtian asked as he saw her expression.

n“Please provide me a place to hide,” Mu Jiuhuang looked at Xiao Changtian and requested anxiously. If they delayed any longer, the Black Fiend Daoist would catch up.

n“I…”

nXiao Changtian was stunned for a moment. From Mu Jiuhuang’s urgent tone, he knew that the woman before him was indeed being chased.

nXiao Changtian didn’t want to get into trouble, but he thought of the system’s mission and nodded.

n“Follow me.”

nXiao Changtian brought Mu Jiuhuang to the backyard.

nMu Jiuhuang followed closely behind without hesitation. The person in front of her was only a mortal and could not pose any threat to her.

nXiao Changtian led Mu Jiuhuang to a chicken shed.

n“You can hide here. I’ve seen everything here. This is the only place you can hide,” Xiao Changtian pointed at the chicken shed and said helplessly. That was the only place in his backyard where people could hide.

nLooking at the chicken shed before her, Mu Jiuhuang was instantly dumbfounded as she thought.

n“He wants me, the great Emperor Jiuhuang, to hide in a chicken shed?

nWho do you think I am?

nI’m Emperor Jiuhuang, a phoenix, a Supreme divine beast. How can I hide in a chicken coop?”

n“Are there no other places for me to hide?” Mu Jiuhuang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. There was a trace of anger in her tone as she looked at Xiao Changtian with an overbearing aura.

n” Is this mortal toying with me?” Mu Jiuhuang thought.

nMu Jiuhuang’s expression froze. She was about to get angry. But suddenly, her expression changed, and a strange feeling arose.

n“Huh?”

nMu Jiuhuang was stunned. This was a feeling that only the Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s forbidden land would have.

n“Could it be that this place was a forbidden area?”

nMu Jiuhuang was overjoyed. This mortal was ignorant and could not sense the existence of the restriction array. However, it was an opportunity for her now. She could use the array to conceal herself and delay the time to heal her injuries.

nThus, Mu Jiuhuang walked into the chicken shed and sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her forehead puckered as she circulated the true essence in her body to heal her injuries.

nXiao Changtian was delighted to see this. He turned to the kitchen and cooked the tortoise egg.

nAbout an hour later, the tortoise egg was ready.

nXiao Changtian happily took out the tortoise egg and went to the chicken shed again. “I see that your face is pale. You’ve been running all the way. Eat an egg to calm down and replenish your strength.”

nMu Jiuhuang opened her eyes. Her gaze locked onto the egg, and she said, “It’s okay. I don’t eat tortoise eggs.”

nShe looked at the tortoise egg in Xiao Changtian’s hand with disdain as she thought.

n“I’m a powerhouse at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm! The Phoenix’s blood flows in my body, and I’ll never eat a tortoise egg.

nI, the great Emperor Jiuhuang, can’t lower my status even if I’m in trouble!”

n“Okay.”

nXiao Changtian answered indifferently. He placed the bowl with the tortoise egg to the side and walked back.

nHe didn’t believe anyone could resist food!

nMoreover, the person was injured and weak.

nSeeing Xiao Changtian leave, Mu Jiuhuang’s face turned pale again. She quickly closed her eyes to recuperate.

nHowever, a strange fragrance wafted out just as she closed her eyes. She sensed the aura of a spiritual item as if it was right in front of her.

n“Is it this egg?”

nMu Jiucheng suddenly opened his eyes. A fiery red light circulated in his eyes. This was her divine power, the Eyes of the Divine Phoenix.

n“What a great tonic!”

nMu Jiuhuang’s eyes lit up. Although she couldn’t tell the egg’s origin, she urgently needed spiritual items.

nShe immediately broke the eggshell and swallowed the egg.

nShe felt like a boundless ocean was pouring in instantly, and an unparalleled power rushed into her meridians.

nThe Black Fiend Daoist’s previous attack had submerged in the sea.

nHer realm, which had been falling continuously, was directly stabilized. In an instant, Mu Jiuhuang’s body and realm recovered to their original state!

n“My God, what kind of egg is this? This is unbelievable!”

nEven Mu Jiuhuang, Emperor Jiuhuang, was shocked.

nShe was the Emperor of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, and her cultivation base was at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. During the era when the ancient emperors fell, being at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm was invincible.

nHowever, this egg had completely healed all the injuries in her body!

nMu Jiucheng was stunned for a moment and lifted her head.

nIn an instant, she saw a green tortoise staring at her coldly, but it seemed to be afraid of something and did not attack her.

nAs she had not deactivated the Eyes of the Divine Phoenix, the green tortoise looked different to Mu Jiuhuang.

nIt was a huge green tortoise. Its body seemed to be as tall as the sky. No, it was even taller than the sky.

nIts four legs were like pillars that supported the sky, crossing the heavens and earth.

nThe tortoise’s head revealed an ice-cold expression. It was as if the world was trembling as it stared at Mu Jiuhuang angrily.

n“Black Tortoise!”

nMu Jiuhuang was shocked. That was the legendary Black Tortoise.

nThe Black Tortoise’s gaze seemed to be fixed on the eggshell in her hand. It made her wonder if the egg from before belonged to the Black Tortoise.

nNo wonder the egg could heal the injuries in her body in an instant.

nMu Jiuhuang’s body couldn’t help but tremble. This was the Black Tortoise, and she had eaten its egg?

nThere was only one thought in Mu Jiuhuang’s mind. “I’m doomed. The Black Tortoise could easily suppress her, and it was at least in the Greater Vehicle Realm.

nIt would only take a moment for the Black Tortoise to kill her, but it didn’t move. From time to time, it looked at the room where Xiao Changtian was in with fear in its eyes.

nHer life seemed to be in the hands of Black Tortoise, making her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles as if she was on the verge of dying at any time.

n“Could it be that Black Tortoise was afraid of that person just now, so he didn’t attack me at the first moment?”

n“Help! Help!”

nThoughts flooded Mu Jiuhuang and she could not help herself from shouting for help.

nIn the room, after Mu Jiuhuang ate the tortoise egg, the system’s reward was transferred to her account.

n“Ding! Congratulations, host. The system reward is yours.”

nThe system’s voice sounded, and a blind box appeared in XiaoChangtian’s hand.

nHowever, just as he was about to open the blind box, he suddenly heard Mu Jiuhuang’s cry for help.

nHe was shocked and thought the person who was after that man had arrived.

n“Had something happened to that woman?” He thought.

nXiao Changtian hurried to the chicken shed and saw the green tortoise walking out of the pond. It was baring its teeth and staring at Mu Jiuhuang fiercely.

nMu Jiuhuang was so frightened that she trembled and hid in the chicken shed, not daring to move.

n“That’s all?”

n“She is calling for help for this?”

nXiao Changtian frowned and was somewhat speechless as he thought. It was only a green tortoise.

nWhy would someone be afraid of a tortoise?

nXiao Changtian looked at the green tortoise and warned, “Go back into the pond. If you can’t even be obedient at night, I’ll make you into soup.”

nHearing this, the green tortoise finally suppressed the killing intent in its heart. It wriggled its four short legs and quickly returned to the pond.

nMu Jiuhuang sat in the chicken coop, feeling afraid.

nShe almost died!

nWithout the Black Tortoise’s hesitation, she would have lost her life.

nMu Jiuhuang looked at Xiao Changtian in disbelief and felt lingering fear as she thought, “This person made the divine beast Black Tortoise retreat just like that?”

nIt was the divine beast Black Tortoise of the Greater Vehicle Realm!

nThis was this person’s courtyard, and he was the Black Tortoise’s master.

nThen, wouldn’t this person’s cultivation be above the Greater Vehicle Realm?

nMu Jiuhuang gasped and was shocked. How could she not understand that the young man in front of her was a peerless master?
