Chapter 306: Subconscious Body and Mother
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
“Consciousness? You’re saying that the consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is a small ball that can t talk clearly?”
Old Qin hurriedly shook his head. “It’s not this small ball. It’s the huge blazing golden ball we just saw!”
“What about this little ball?”
“This is also the consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. However, it’s a split body of the main consciousness, similar to…”
“Subconsciousness? Or a clone?”
“Yesj yes, yes! Subconsciousness, that’s a good way to put it!”
Old Qin flattered him and continued, “Perhaps it’s because of the subconsciousness that this consciousness is incomplete. At most, it’s equivalent to a five or six-year-old!
“I communicated with it for a long time before I understood that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother seemed to have suffered a calamity. She sealed her main consciousness and separated a subconscious body to barely control her body.”
Lin Yan said strangely, “In other words, the current Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is actually only left with her instincts and no self-awareness?”
“Probably, maybe, it should be like this.”
Lin Yan fell into deep thought. In that case, was this giant turtle really the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother?
According to Old Qin, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother used to be as vast as an island, bur now, she had shrunk to a hundred meters. What happened in the middle?
“Old Qin, ask if it helped those people locate me?”
Old Qin rubbed the golden ball for a while. “Big Brother’s guess is so accurate! It’s what it did!”
“Ask it if it can stop.”
Old Qin muttered again, “it said it’s stopped! It thinks you’re playing hide-and-seek with them!”
“Hide and seek?” The corners of Lin Yan’s eyes twitched slightly. The consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother seemed to be only five or six years old.
At this moment, the ball fluttered again, and a complicated and chaotic message was transmitted to Lin Yan’s mind.
Lin Yan pinched Old Qin. “What did it say?”
“It… Pfft, hahaha!” Old Qin suddenly laughed out loud. The demonic laughter entered Lin Yan’s consciousness. “Brother! It calls you Mom!’
“…What did you say?”
“It, it’s begging Mommy to help it! Hahahaha! Big Brother, a turtle actually called you Mommy! I can’t take it anymore. I’m dying of laughter, hahahaha!”
Lin Yan was expressionless. He opened his palm and held Old Qin in front of his chest. On his five fingertips, the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame lit up with five flames that swayed in the wind.
Old Qin immediately shuddered and knelt in Lin Yan’s palm with a plop. He shouted, “Brother, I was wrong!”
“Explain yourself!”
After Old Qin explained, Lin Yan realized that the subconscious body of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother really called him mother!
Moreover, she asked him for help, as if she wanted him to help solve some problem.
“Mother… Is it because of the Black Tortoise Divine Armor?”
Clearly, the reason why the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother treated him differently was because of the Black Tortoise aura released by the Black Tortoise Swimming the Mountains and Seas.
Could it be that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother related to the real Black Tortoise?
it actually called him mother. At the very least, it recognized the aura of the Black Tortoise. Even its mother might be the Black Tortoise?
This could explain why the consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother called him mother. Because its mind was incomplete and it could not judge, it mistakenly recognized him as its mother with just a little aura!
“So, Black Tortoise… might really exist?”
Lin Yan said in a low voice, “Old Qin, ask her what she needs me to do.”
Old Qin lowered his head and started talking to the ball of light again. This time, it took a long time.
After a long while, Old Qin’s aggrieved voice sounded. “Damn it, this Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is purely a fool! She can’t explain anything clearly!”
Lin Yan had not been idle just now. Instead, he listened and understood what the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother meant. Because her mind was incomplete, the information she gave was chaotic and disorderly. He really could not understand it.
“However, there’s something that she has mentioned repeatedly. It’s a kind of insect. 1 think it’s probably the kind of insect that those people killed just now!” Lin Yan nodded. “1 guessed it too. However, what exactly is that bug? How should we resolve it? Can she explain it?”
Old Qin tried again and shook his head helplessly. “I can’t help it. 1 don’t understand at all!”
The golden ball also realized that Lin Yan couldn’t understand it at all and became anxious, it floated out of Lin Yan’s hand and began to circle Lin Yan two or three times before moving in a direction.
“Is this for us to follow her?”
Lin Yan had no intention of helping when he saw injustice. However, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had stopped. If he still wanted to head to the prefecture capital, he had to rely on rhe Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. Therefore, he was skeptical and followed the golden ball.
“No, this direction…”
Lin Yan used the perception of his clones to quickly realize that this golden ball was clearly luring Captain Song and the others, who were chasing after him!
However, he did not stop immediately because his clones also sensed that Captain Song and the others seemed to have paused for a few moments before returning and retreating.
“Did you do it?”
Lin Yan said to the golden ball with the Mind Connection Technique.
The golden ball jumped around Lin Yan excitedly. It already knew that Lin Yan couldn’t understand what it was saying, so it used its actions to express its intentions.
The golden ball continued forward, and Lin Yan followed. The people who had originally surrounded him had long dispersed, leaving only one person who walked in the same direction as Lin Yan. He first went up to the second floor’s accommodation area, then at the end of the second floor’s passageway, he opened a hidden door and walked in before disappearing.
Under the guidance of the golden ball, Lin Yan also went up the stairs to the second floor and came to the door. He pushed it open and realized that there was actually a spiral staircase that led to the upper floor.
Lin Yan walked up the stairs. The space above was very large. It should be an indoor martial arts arena covered in dark golden stone bricks. Lamps hung from the top, and pipes were connected. There were also a few pairs of soldiers in the martial arts arena. They had taken off their clothes and were sweating profusely as they cultivated.
As the golden ball spun along Lin Yan, those people actually ignored it. Clearly, they couldn’t see the golden ball.
He followed the golden ball forward again and arrived at the end of the martial arts arena. This was another entrance to the passageway that led up. However, there were actually three people guarding the entrance of the passageway here. Moreover, their auras were like an abyss. They actually had the strength of the Black Grade Noble Realm.
Lin Yan also noticed that there was a small floating room above the entrance of the passageway. There was also a person sitting in it. From time to time, he would emit his aura. Compared to Liu Lanqing, Ling Shuangxue, and the others, it was even deeper.
However, with the Black Tortoise Divine Armor on, none of them discovered him. Lin Yan followed the golden ball and directly entered the entrance of the passageway. There was actually a spiral staircase inside!
This meant that there were at least four levels in the body of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother!
The golden ball jumped and Lin Yan continued to climb up the spiral staircase. This time, the room on the fourth floor wasn’t big. It was like a small attic, but in front of the attic, on the left and right, there was a steel door. It was heavy, locked by a large lock.
The golden ball floated to the door facing the staircase and gestured for Lin Yan to come forward.
When Lin Yan stepped forward, the golden ball lit up slightly and trembled slightly.
Not long after, there was a creak. The steel door in front of Lin Yan opened, and a head popped out. It was the shrewd old man, Captain Song!
Lin Yan paused but did not move.
Captain Song stuck his head out and looked around. He said suspiciously, “Holy Mother, you asked me to welcome you after opening rhe door. Where are you?”
Although he spoke, he spoke directly to the air. It was fine if he couldn’t see Lin Yan, but he actually ignored the golden ball of light beside him.
The golden ball trembled again.
Captain Song’s expression became even stranger, but he still said, “I’ll follow the Holy Mother’s orders.”
Then, he turned around and walked into the room.
Lin Yan became even stranger and glanced at the golden ball. ’’Even he can’t see you?”
The golden ball trembled again and a mess of information came. Lin Yan couldn’t tell what it meant, but he could roughly sense that the consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother seemed to have suspicions about Captain Song.
“Didn’t they say that the Turtle Spirit Clan worships the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and serves her loyally? Why doesn’t it even trust its believers? Instead, it trusts me, an outsider who suddenly appeared?
Lin Yan looked at the iron door and strode in.
It was just an iron door. Even if he was locked inside, it was impossible to trap him.
After entering, he pulled the iron door and closed it.
“What! Oh no… It’s you!”
When the door suddenly closed, Captain Song was naturally shocked. Coupled with the empty room, he immediately guessed something and his expression instantly turned ugly..
