"They promised to help me stabilize the Profound Turtle's soul when I ascend," Elder Wu admitted freely after Wang Ping asked for the reason.
From Elder Wu's explanation, Wang Ping learned that to advance to the Second Realm using the Earth Cave Sect's "Great Earth Scripture," one needed to fuse with the soul of a Profound Turtle. At the same time, one must complete a blood exchange and gain the true recognition of the Earth Vein Power to be considered successful.
This was remarkably similar to the *Taiyan Talisman*, which also gave Wang Ping some speculations, such as those regarding the Demon Race's records passed down from before the rise of the Human Dao...
The Demon Race claimed that when the heavens and earth first opened, two Saints were born. The first was called the Great Celestial, and the second was called the Nine Heavens.
This was a common consensus, acknowledged by both the Five Sects of Xuanmen and the two sects of Tianmen today.
