The crowd only realized something was amiss after the spirit ship came to a halt. When they looked down into the Night Sea, they saw the dozens of huge turtles controlling the spirit ship.
“Divine turtles! These are divine turtles!”
“I heard that taming a divine turtle will allow the person to traverse the Night Sea freely!”
“Why did so many divine turtles show up all of a sudden? It looks like they're trying to stop the spirit ship from going forward!”
The crowd murmured among themselves.
When Jared saw the gigantic creatures, he thought they were merely ordinary turtles. I get that these turtles are huge, but why are these people calling them divine turtles?
Right then, Zordey uttered, “These huge turtles are divine beasts and are way more valuable than mere demon beasts. These divine beasts all have spiritual wisdom and are extremely docile. It would be amazing if you could tame one. Although they can be obedient, it's very hard to tame them because they're egotistical. They aren't willing to submit to humans, and some would even die rather than get tamed.”
Upon hearing Zordey's explanation, Jared finally understood why those turtles were regarded as divine turtles.
“Did Cosmic Sect tame some of these divine turtles? Is that why they can traverse the Night Sea freely?” Cloud furrowed his brows.
Prior to that, Cloud's disciple had told him that the members of Cosmic Sect were riding on spirit turtles as they traversed the Night Sea. Hence, he couldn't help thinking those were the same creatures as the divine turtles before his eyes.
“That's right! I've also heard about something similar. No one knows how Cosmic Sect managed to get their hands on some divine turtles, but they used them to traverse the Night Sea and ambush Stellaris Sect's airship. In fact, I think quite a few of Stellaris Sect's airships were stolen. As a result, Stellaris Sect suffered heavy losses. Besides that, I heard that the lord of Stellaris Sect boarded a spirit ship to go after Cosmic Sect. How silly of him! The others were on divine turtles! What made him think he could catch up with them with a spirit ship? I heard that the spirit ship sank, and he lost his life. I guess Stellaris Sect is doomed!” Zordey didn't know Cloud was the scion of Stellaris Sect, so the former spoke without holding back.
Those words infuriated Cloud. Fearing that Cloud might retaliate, Jared quickly held him back to calm him down.
