Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Li Chengfeng's heart was shaken by a surge of power, a force that seemed to originate from ancient times, piercing through the dust of ages and striking directly at the depths of his soul.

It was not merely the Xuanwu Divine Beast's astonishing power bestowed upon the Dragon Turtle, but also the profound secret of primordial preservation hidden within the Dragon Turtle's body, revealed in the instant he transformed into the creature.

Li Chengfeng was startled to find that he seemed to have glimpsed the mysteries of the river of time. His lifespan, like the water of a river, suddenly surged forth. Ten thousand years seemed within reach, filling him with endless admiration for the Dragon Turtle, the darling of heaven and earth.

The Dragon Turtle, seemingly clumsy and lazy, possessed a wisdom hidden within its body like a dormant volcano, quietly awaiting the sculpting and awakening of time.

Imagine, if one could truly experience ten thousand years of seasons, even the most dull-witted creature would hone a spirit-like wisdom and cunning, becoming an existence transcending the mortal realm.

As for Li Chengfeng himself, he was still in the early stages of cultivation. Although his lifespan was also long, limited to ten thousand years, it still seemed insignificant compared to the Dragon Turtle's seemingly endless life.

Each time he returned to his original form from the Dragon Turtle state, the temporary loss of power and lifespan stirred a trace of unwillingness and longing within him.

Gently stroking his chin, a glint of light flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

He realized that if he could cleverly utilize the Dragon Turtle form, treating it as a battle strategy, or even a life-saving means, wouldn't it be adding another trump card to his arsenal?

With this thought in mind, he flipped his wrist, and a stone tablet gently landed in his palm, its restrictions flashing like stars dotting the night sky, both mysterious and alluring.

"Wings of Space, such a heaven-defying treasure, I, Li Chengfeng, am determined to obtain it!" He chuckled softly, his tone filled with determination and resolve.

Thinking that if the Wings of Space were to fall into the hands of an enemy, like a Sauron, he would be constantly under the threat of being swallowed by spatial rifts, with enemies silently descending. The despair and terror of that possibility sent a chill down his spine.

He deeply understood that no matter what countermeasures he might have, only by firmly grasping such a treasure in his hands could he feel at ease.

Thus, in the tranquility and profundity of space, Li Chengfeng paced back and forth, each step seeming to weigh the future chessboard.

Finally, he stopped, his eyes like torches, a decision formed in his heart. It turned out that all of this conspiracy and scheming was, in the final analysis, centered around the legendary Wings of Space.

Relying on the meager clues he had in hand, Li Chengfeng's heart surged like a tide, repeatedly scrutinizing every detail, trying to find a flaw in the intricate situation.

He deeply understood that the depth and breadth of this opponent's layout far exceeded anything he had encountered before, each link designed with exquisite precision, making it impossible to guard against.

Faced with such an increasingly cunning enemy, Li Chengfeng had to be even more cautious. His thinking was like a sharp blade, cutting out possible paths in the fog, yet constantly overturning and rebuilding in self-doubt.

After a period of arduous and painstaking thought, Li Chengfeng finally made a final decision, formulating several meticulous plans that supported each other.

With a thought, his figure instantly disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, he had returned to the real world.

Here, he keenly captured a special fluctuation of power, a gift brought by his previous fusion with the demon essence blood of the little fox, Yao Qi—not only did it grant him the other party's talent, but it also gave him a deeper understanding of the mysteries of space.

He walked with light steps, leisurely heading towards the Dragon Clan, his heart filled with anticipation for the unknown challenges.

However, just as he was about to step into the territory of the Dragon Clan, the steady and familiar voice of the Dragon Turtle suddenly sounded in his consciousness.

With a hint of urgency: "Little friend, the situation has changed. Come quickly to discuss!"

Before the words had finished, a mist of water rose out of nowhere, enveloping Li Chengfeng. When the mist dissipated, he found himself in a simple yet vibrant cave dwelling.
