It had been a difficult feat to tame a divine turtle that size, but just as he tamed it, it was taken away by the tornado. Jared was bewildered. He could not understand why the divine turtle had not listened to him and had been determined to swim toward the tornado.
“Stop babbling! The spirit ship is heading in the direction of the tornado, and we need to either stop the ship or make it change direction. We need someone to distract those divine turtles and stop them from moving the spirit ship onward. If the spirit ship enters the vicinity of the tornado, we’ll all die here at the Night Sea!” Fayzon yelled.
Hearing that, everyone fell silent. However, no one jumped off the ship to attract the attention of the divine turtles, for no one knew what dangers lurked below.
Perhaps there were no selfless cultivators on this ship. They had all come to the Night Sea in search of treasures and opportunities. No one would want to risk their lives for strangers.
Seeing no movement from the crowd, Fayzon frowned, though it was not out of concern for them. He was simply worried about his own safety. Furthermore, this spirit ship was rather pricey, and he would be suffering a huge loss if it was destroyed by the tornado.
Even when the ship neared the tornado, still no one volunteered. Jared glanced at Quinley and Cloud before taking a step forward. “I’ll go; I’ll lure the divine turtles away, so hurry up and change the course of the ship.”
Jared had not volunteered because he was a saint; he simply did not want any danger to befall Quinley. The moment Jared stepped up, many cultivators turned to cast him looks of respect.
“How are you going to lure so many divine turtles away by yourself?” Fayzon asked. “You don’t need to worry about that. I have a plan.”
Jared knew that his Power of Dragons was the perfect thing to control these divine turtles. The giant divine turtle had been so stubborn earlier, but when Jared used the Power of Dragons, it immediately turned meek.
Nevertheless, Jared did not want to risk revealing his identity by displaying his Power of Dragons in front of these people. Still, the situation was dire. There was no time for him to have so many reservations.
“Jared, I’ll come with you,” Quinley offered anxiously when she realized Jared was volunteering for the task.
“Don’t. Stay on the spirit ship. I’ll be fine,” Jared reassured her with a smile. However, just as Jared was about to jump off the spirit ship to lure away the divine turtles, the dark sky abruptly brightened up.
The ferocious tornado was gradually clearing away too, and soon, it was gone. Peace returned to the Night Sea, though the divine turtles still led the spirit ship forward. However, no one knew where the divine turtles were taking them.
“Look, that giant divine turtle’s in the sky!”
When the crowd lifted their heads, they found the giant divine turtle that had rushed headlong into the tornado earlier in the air. It slowly descended into the sea before hurrying toward the ship.
In the divine turtle’s mouth was a radiant orb that illuminated the dark waters.
“What’s in the divine turtle’s mouth?”
“It’s so bright! Is it some kind of magical item?”
“It has to be! I heard that divine beasts have masters, but I never thought that the turtle had rushed into the tornado to seek treasure!”
The cultivators stared at the giant turtle with looks of envy. Both Fayzon and Montane Daemon furrowed their brows, eyeing what was in the turtle’s mouth with greed. Once the divine turtle was close to the spirit ship, it huffed and sent the bright orb flying toward Jared.
Jared caught it swiftly. He realized that, despite the orb’s small size, it was incredibly heavy. Furthermore, he could hear gusts of wind within it.
