Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 104 - 104 103 Essence Blood_1

104: Chapter 103 Essence Blood_1 104: Chapter 103 Essence Blood_1 “While I’m still coherent, you should go.

Once I fall into chaos, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to,” Peacock said faintly.

It was enslaved.

“How can I help you?” Su He asked.

The Peacock shook its head, its crown feathers swaying: “My true body died long ago, and this drop of Essence Blood has been refined.

To help me, you’d have to snatch the Peacock True Blood from a Greater Power.

You’re but a naive and young child, how can you assist me?”

If it were a living Divine God Beast, who could enslave it?

There was self-mockery in its voice: “If your noble kin were here, naturally they could assist me.

At this moment, even if you were to take the Peacock True Blood, you wouldn’t be able to suppress it.

You’re just a young child.

If you grow a bit longer, go to the Mortal Realm and gather human luck and merit…”

It suddenly saw the compact Merit Monument on Su He’s Turtle Mountain, and its mouth opened wide in astonishment, emitting an “aah” cry.

Could it be that this Little Turtle’s parents possessed immense merit in this world?

That caused him to be born with merit?

After the shock, it followed with great joy.

“Young friend, some human Greater Power broke into my tomb, harvested my Essence Blood, and made a puppet.

Today, your Dragon Turtle Qi has stimulated me, temporarily awakening my Soul Consciousness.

I have a method to break free, are you willing to lend me a hand?”

Su He instead took a step back.

It was not easy to meddle in the affairs of Greater Powers, especially to take something from another Great Power.

“Young friend, do not fear.

My Essence Blood has been refined, I can burn this segment of Soul Consciousness, burning away that person’s brand within the Essence Blood.

But that person has refined it for too long; if I go out, they’d sense it immediately.

Could you suppress this drop of Essence Blood underneath the Merit Monument for me?”

The mysterious uses of merit are endless, practically the legendary panacea.

To suppress it under the power of merit is equivalent to receiving the blessing of merit, and would not be detected by anyone.

Without the Merit Monument, after burning the Soul Consciousness, this drop of Essence Blood would become extremely pure.

In an instant, it could be taken by anyone at will; however, Peacock was not willing for it to be so.

“Is that all?” Su He asked.

The Peacock fell silent for a while: “If there is a chance, help me find a suitable peacock, and implant the True Blood into it, to extend a lineage for my true body.”

?

A water-drop shaped question mark appeared above Su He’s head.

Was this even possible?

Seeing his appearance, the Peacock curiously asked: “Does your legacy not possess the art of propagation?” The chances of Divine God Beasts producing offspring were exceedingly small.

The skill of concentrating Essence Blood to pass on lineage was essential.

I haven’t acquired the legacy yet, I’ve disappointed you…

The Peacock paused, apologetic.

With only a drop of Essence Blood, its gathered Soul Consciousness was limited, and its mind often insufficient.

How could such a young creature possess a legacy?

After a moment of silence, the Peacock said: “Divine God Beast Heritage is different from human cultivation techniques.

I cannot bestow my heritage upon you, but you can suppress the Essence Blood.

Once you obtain the Dragon Turtle Heritage, you will naturally know how to proceed.”

It thought for a moment and then said: “My true body was born in the Nanmu Forest of the Transient Great World; within it, there are spiritual treasures you can take as a reward.”

One couldn’t let people work for free.

As the Peacock spoke, a crimson flame suddenly ignited over its body, and soon after, Symbols appeared on every feather.

The flames burned the Symbols, emitting a sharp crying sound.

“Who dares to rob my Peacock Blood Essence?” A thunderous voice boomed from the feathers.

Su He felt his heart tremble with fear, as if a great crisis was about to descend.

With a cry, the Peacock shrank in an instant, turning into a drop of pure golden blood that fell onto the External Phase Turtle Mountain and landed beneath the Merit Monument.

A dice tumbled down, landing on four points.

The Essence Blood didn’t increase in quantity, but its Quality surged tremendously.

Su He moved the Peacock Blood Essence to the External Space.

The Merit Monument was on the External Phase Turtle Mountain.

Having already merged with the entire External Appearance, placing it within the External Space ensured it was still under the suppression of the Merit Monument, and even safer.

With the Peacock’s disappearance, the gales in the Prison Ghost Space became groundless, not immediately subsiding but incapable of stirring up any more storms.

Su He began to make waves, carrying Feng Yaya towards the cave entrance.

First having witnessed the fusion of spaces, then jolted by the Peacock’s cry, Feng Yaya was now drowsy and almost falling asleep.

Su He was quick; he had just reached the center of the space when a voice came from the kneeling Stone Statue: “Hey, turtle!”

This person was not dead!

Su He didn’t even look back as he sped away, leaving South Garden with this caution: If you find that something inanimate has developed its own thoughts, stay far away!

A stone statue should just be a stone statue; speaking out of turn is not right.

“Turtle!

I am a Greater Power from Xuan Tian Gate!

Return, I have valuable advice for you.”

Su He stopped, not to listen to the chatter, but because he couldn’t move forward due to the hurricane-force winds that were sharp as knives.

Mu Tung saw him stop and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: “The hurricanes surround us; did you see the peacock earlier?

This is a technique of Xuan Tian Gate.

Xuan Tian Gate has to act against Qingyuan Gate by employing the Prison Ghost Space.

I see you, the little turtle, are deeply involved with Qingyuan Gate.

What will you do if Qingyuan falls?”

I will go and claim a mountain to become the Mountain King.

“If you remove the formation flags and save the two of us, you would be doing a great service to Xuan Tian.

Even in Xuan Tian Gate, a Stepping Sky Realm is of great significance.

Saving two at once would earn you a remarkable achievement.”

Su He turned around: “You’re from the Stepping Sky Realm?

Impressive?”

Mu Tung, the stone statue, remained motionless, his voice emanating directly from it: “Of course!

I can open a world of my own, where I am revered; I am like a god, omnipotent, doing as I please!”

After thinking for a while, Su He said, “But you were captured by Feng Yi Ju.”

Mu Tung: …

The rest of his words were stifled in his chest.

“Young man, even a horse can stumble!

What does a single failure matter?

My boundary status is higher than Feng Yi Ju’s, my Tao cultivation is higher than Feng Yi Ju’s, my origins are higher than Feng Yi Ju’s, I…”

“You were captured by Feng Yi Ju.”

Mu Tung: …

There was silence for a long moment before the stone statue finally let out a voice through gritted teeth: “That is because Feng Yi Ju is despicable!

It was all conspiracy and calculation; his sword was clearly aimed at my Cave World!”

Su He replied with a smile: “So you’re saying you’re dumb?

You rushed in without even knowing your enemy’s tactics?

Don’t you research your opponent before a fight?”

The stone statue exploded in anger: “Why would I need to investigate?

I’m from Stepping Sky, he’s Demonic!

It should be just like crushing a rabbit beneath my heel!”

Su He tilted his head: “But you were captured, not only that, your Cave World was also refined.”

Mu Tung was left speechless in an instant.

As the hurricane passed, Su He didn’t linger any longer and left with a swagger.

The stone statue was wailing behind him, its tone shifting from arrogance to reasonableness, then to pleading, and finally to cursing.

Su He returned once more.

The stone statue, having just enjoyed a good rant, looked a bit sheepish.

It hem-hawed twice and said: “I have treasures hidden in Poria Mountain; as long as you’re willing to save me, you will be richly rewarded!”

Su He ignored him.

Ever since he had become a turtle, he had never felt the slightest deficiency in worldly possessions.

He spread his External Space over his hand that was pressing the stone statue to the ground, and tried to use Fu Mountain but couldn’t move it.

Was it because it was still alive?

Were the stone statues in the Golden Palace Space the same, only absorbable once dead?

Su He suddenly remembered, could it be that the stone statues in the Golden Palace Space couldn’t be absorbed because they were like the peacock, with their Soul Consciousness awakened?

Were those stone statues once from the Stepping Sky Realm?

Looking down on the stone statue, Su He crawled out of the cave.

To him, if it couldn’t be absorbed, it was useless.

Mu Tung was anxious: “Come back!

Help me pull out the formation flags, and I will impart all my Tao techniques to you!”

Without acknowledging him, Su He’s pace quickened and soon he disappeared into the fog.

Mu Tung cursed under his breath, but at that moment, forty-nine formation flags suddenly flew up from the ground and headed out of the cave.

The hypocritical turtle, it turns out you do covet my Tao techniques after all.

The suppressive force on his body loosened.

Mu Tung immediately rejoiced, but before his smile could fully spread across his face, a Big Seal descended from the sky and slammed onto the ground with a thud.

The Suppression was more severe than the formation flags, he couldn’t even speak.
