Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 169 - 169 031 Domain_1

169: Chapter 031 Domain_1 169: Chapter 031 Domain_1 I, too, wish…

Pah!

Su He could not remember his mother, the welfare home where he lived in his previous life, and this life’s Turtle Mother just stayed inside the Beast Pet Bag, which had already been handed over to Feng Yaya.

He had no emotional connection with the Turtle Mother.

Turtles did not require parental care.

After laying eggs, the Turtle Mother would immediately leave, entrusting the hatching entirely to the whims of fate.

Whether the hatched Turtle Kids were male or female was all up to heaven.

Sitting by the seashore for quite a while, as daylight gradually broke, Su He entrusted Feng Yaya to Green Snake and had Tiger Whale carry her and Thunder Monkey King back to the original small island.

Meanwhile, he turned and dove into the sea, fully unleashing the majesty of the Dragon Turtle, driving away all the sea creatures.

He had promised to let Feng Yaya sleep by his side, but crossing the Heavenly Tribulation was far too dangerous.

If Feng Yaya awoke before he had crossed the tribulation, he would just bring her to his side before she was fully awake—a deeply sleeping little girl would never notice.

Su He dove into the seabed, finding a trench where the water Yuan Power was most abundant, and slowly closed his eyes.

The Art of Dreaming began to operate, with three Turtle Shells placed beside him, and Fu Mountain exerting all its power to absorb the essence from the three Turtle Shells.

This time, without cultivating, Su He simply slept.

Before sleeping, he had drawn a drop of high-quality Turtle Essence Condensate into his body, which was sufficient for his body to evolve on its own.

As time went by day after day, with Su He and Feng Yaya absent, the whole small world seemed to quieten down.

Green Snake returned to the Small Island Cave with Feng Yaya, while Thunder Monkey and the wild pigs stood guard outside.

Tiger Whale circled the small island to hunt.

On the island, the beasts and birds roamed peacefully.

In the space of Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb, Jade Bead curled her half mermaid tail and sat sideways on a rock, looking bewildered at the former Sealed Land.

With the Locust Forest gone, the Sealed Land also disappeared and with no more use of the ritual altar for martial practices, she no longer needed to guard it all day.

Suddenly idle, she did not know what to do.

After thousands of years, the metaphorical stone that had been pressing down on the heads of the mermaids had suddenly vanished, leaving the entire tribe in joy followed by confusion.

Here, unlike the outside world, there were no survival pressures.

The vast expanse of Big Swamp was home to only over a thousand mermaids with no disasters, no competition, no fear of uncertain tomorrows, no hunger.

In a daze, it seemed as if they had lost a goal to live for.

The tribe had become a mountain village, where people worked from sunrise to sunset, accompanied by playful fish and sea beasts, with white clouds swirling overhead and Island Among The Clouds partly hidden in the mist.

This was the tranquility the tribe had longed for thousands of years.

And yet, she always felt something was missing, it was too quiet, quiet to the point of ennui, quiet to the point of not knowing what to do.

High Priest Granny appeared behind her at some point, gazing up with her at the sky.

After a long moment, she asked softly, “Why didn’t you leave with the Dragon Turtle Sir?”

The Clan Leader had quietly told her, originally wanting Jade Bead to leave with the Dragon Turtle, but Jade Bead had refused.

Jade Bead, having awoken the Emperor’s bloodline, should have been soaring through the stars with the Dragon Turtle Sir, riding the waves in that vast and magnificent world.

The space of the Great Tomb was too calm, too dusky, not a place for a child to stay.

Jade Bead turned back with a light laugh and a shake of her head, “Granny, Jade Bead was born here, grew up here.

I only know how to gather clams and raise sea creatures.

What would I do following the Dragon Turtle Sir out there?”

There was already a mermaid who had awakened the royal bloodline beside the Dragon Turtle Sir, and the Dragon Turtle Sir never mentioned taking her along…

High Priest Granny sighed lightly, it was a pity that the divine realm was silent now, otherwise this era would definitely have echoed with Jade Bead’s fame.

…

…

Time slowly passed, how long it was, no one knew.

Su He gradually woke up but did not hurry to open his eyes.

His consciousness sank into the Intention Orifice and looked upon the Bright Mirror.

Status: Healthy

True Blood: 98.9%

Offering Bones: 81%

Internal Organs: 83%

He did not know how many days he had slept, but the progression was incredibly fast!

The Turtle Essence Condensate of added quality had wondrous effects.

Not only had his bloodline progressed, but the Dragon Horns on top of his head had also grown a bit more.

The sea of knowledge within the Intention Orifice had expanded at least threefold.

The roots of the two Dragon Horns penetrated into the Intention Orifice, like two towering trees, with roots deep in the sea of knowledge.

Su He found his Divine Sense even more agile in application.

With just a thought, the surrounding sea water, rocks, and vegetation responded to his will!

He could now control objects!

This ability to control objects was something cultivators in the Spirit Awakening Realm could only do after condensing Mind Pearls.

The Dragon Turtle had taken a nap, sprouted horns, and achieved this ability—and the horns weren’t even fully grown yet!

This wasn’t just an increase in the quantity of Divine Sense but also a transformation in quality.

At this moment, as Su He directed the operation of his Divine Sense, he saw the world in a completely different way.

Shadows upon shadows, as if he could see through this world to another—just like when he was in the Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb, looking for this small world by observing space.

But this time, it wasn’t about finding a weak point in space; rather, he could vaguely see the doors of the small world!

This world had always been connected to the outside.

The Toad came in, three thousand years ago the Dragon Turtle entered, and this time, Su He came in.

An advanced Dragon Turtle could leave this small world, and it shouldn’t be said that a Dragon Turtle could break through space for teleportation, but rather that a Dragon Turtle could freely enter and exit through these doors!

At the moment, Su He couldn’t touch these doors; they were like various shaped doors floating in the sky, and he could see the outside through them.

That was a vast and utterly desolate world, filled with mountains and devoid of vegetation.

Occasionally, through these doors, he could see Minotaurs appearing in that world, muscular and brawny, not seeming like good creatures.

Without a doubt, that should be the Two-Realms Battlefield between the Sealed Emperor Great World and Mystery Huang World, and those Minotaurs belonged to the Sealed Emperor Great World.

The Sealed Emperor Great World was ranked first among all heavens, and although the Sealed Emperor’s Palace suppressed everything, just like the Mystery Huang World, countless Sects still existed beneath the Ten Major Immortal Doors.

The Sealed Emperor Great World had numerous races, and one end of this Two-Realms Battlefield was situated right within the Minotaur territory.

Su He didn’t know much about Minotaurs, only that such a race existed.

They must be a race with a special bloodline.

These doors were visible but untouchable; his bloodline was insufficient, and he couldn’t traverse them.

At this moment, donning the White Jade Turtle Shell would likely make it very easy for him to get there.

But what would he do after going there?

Not a second before the tribulation, Su He would rather die than leave this small world.

This time, as he slept, the sense of crisis looming over his head became even clearer and heavier.

It felt tangible; all Su He had to do was reach out and tug it, and he would bring down the heavenly tribulation—it was not an illusion.

At this moment, he truly could summon it at any time.

After retracting the Dragon Turtle majesty, Su He parted the water and swam towards the surface.

As soon as the majesty was withdrawn, the “doors” drifting around dissipated in an instant.

No matter how he tried to focus his vision, they were no longer visible.

When he again released the majesty, the doors reappeared.

These doors would only appear within the Dragon Turtle’s domain—no wonder the Toad said that aside from the Divine God Beast Dragon Turtle, others could not enter or exit.

The Dragon Turtle’s majesty was a very special ability, which could be considered an innate divine ability.

The more concentrated the bloodline, the stronger the majesty.

Eventually, it would become like a “domain.”

Wherever I stand is my world.

However, majesty wasn’t exclusive to the Dragon Turtle.

All divine beasts had this ability, and even many cultivators could manage it.

Su He swam towards the island, releasing the Dragon Turtle’s majesty without restraint.

From afar, a door grew increasingly clear within the majesty.

This was the area where Su He had first entered.

On the other side of the door was not the desolation of the Two-Realms Battlefield, but a verdant scene.

A silhouette stood outside the door, reaching out and touching it.

East Cloud Mountain, Feng Yi Ju!

Feng Yi Ju, dressed like a scholar, occasionally drew Talisman Runes in the air above the door, while several Immortal Swords floated around him, constantly swallowing and spitting out sword lights.

He wanted to break through the door and enter this small world.

Doors in other places floated aimlessly, but this one appeared to be fixed in place.

It was the effect of the Door of Three Lives!

Feng Yi Ju’s Immortal Swords, through the Talisman Runes, pressed against the door, and a hint of Sword Intent had already penetrated it.

The chilling Sword Intent seemed ready to tear open the entire world, splitting the heavens.

In an instant, the waves rolled backwards.

He wanted to send his sword in!

Having witnessed Su Huanian’s Immortal Sword, Su He was no longer completely ignorant about these sword cultivators.

For sword cultivators, their swords are like their avatars.

The entry of the sword was no different from Feng Yi Ju entering himself!

Su He roared and instantly donned the White Jade Turtle Shell, his dark jade garments replaced by pristine white.

A powerful, surging force congregated within him, and in a mere moment, the Dragon Turtle majesty transformed into a domain, enveloping a ten-mile radius, bringing the door within its scope.

The White Jade Turtle Shell couldn’t make Su He truly become a Dragon Turtle, nor would new divine abilities emerge.

However, it elevated Su He’s existing capabilities to the level of a divine beast.

Su He didn’t know how to control the door, just instinctively enveloped it with his domain, and pulled it towards him.

It felt as if he really grasped a door along with its frame and yanked it fiercely.

The entire door moved closer to Su He in an instant.

The Talisman Runes that Feng Yi Ju had marked on the door fell off like shaken bugs, leaving their original spot.

The sword tip that had penetrated was forcefully pulled out.

Atop East Cloud Mountain, Feng Yi Ju’s gaze intensified, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He flicked his sleeves to brush away the Talisman Runes, pressed his palm downward, and sheathed all his Immortal Swords.

He bowed to the Door of Three Lives and said, “This is Feng Yi Ju of Mystery Huang World.

Unaware that this realm had a master, I ask the Boundary Lord to forgive my intrusion.”

His voice passed through the door and entered, only to be cornered by Su He’s domain.

Feng Yi Ju had been studying the door for more than a day or two and had managed to transmit his voice through it.

Su He didn’t reply, concentrating all his strength on suppressing Feng Yi Ju’s voice while desperately trying to understand the structure of the door, wishing to completely shatter it.

Although they were both at the Stepping Sky level, it was an entirely different matter.

Just suppressing Feng Yi Ju’s voice made Su He feel it was far more difficult than fighting a Spirit Clan Stepping Heaven.

A fair fight, and perhaps Feng Yi Ju could crush that Spirit Clan Stepping Heaven with just one hand.

No wonder the White Jade Dragon Turtle sealed him for six thousand years with just one glance before its death!

After waiting several moments without a response, Feng Yi Ju once again bowed and spoke, “It’s not that I wish to be disrespectful.

One of my disciples has mistakenly entered the domain of Your Excellency.

I am merely a father anxious for his child.

I implore you to return my daughter, and along with her my fellow disciple the Dragon Turtle and the Snake Demon.

I would be deeply grateful.

For any rudeness in damaging the door to your abode, I shall surely compensate!”

As he spoke, he genuinely took out several Spirit Fruit and placed them in front of the door.

Then he bowed deeply towards the door, appearing humble.

Su He had no spare strength to reply; at this moment, the entire Dragon Turtle Domain trembled.

While the domain encompassed the door, it was absorbed bit by bit.

It seemed as if it would completely devour his domain.

The Turtle Essence Condensate was rapidly depleting.

Su He’s face grew serious as he resisted with all his might.

His presence grew stronger on the door.

Not just the door but also the entire small world—its mountains, waters, and space—were all emitting Su He’s aura.

Su He realized, so this was how the White Jade Dragon Turtle refined this small world!

Back then, the White Jade Dragon Turtle must have just released its domain, filling the entire small world until the world and the Dragon Turtle Domain became nearly one.

That’s why the beasts here were extremely familiar with the aura of the Dragon Turtle.

When he first arrived, they were not afraid of Su He’s aura in the least.

After the White Jade Dragon Turtle’s demise, thousands of years passed, and all traces of its aura in the small world dissipated.

Suddenly, with the emergence of a new Dragon Turtle Domain, the small world, like a dried sponge, absorbed the domain instantly.

If Su He’s domain was large enough to cover the entire small world, he could take possession of it in an instant.

But his domain only covered a ten-mile radius!

The source of the domain’s power was only a few dozen drops of Turtle Essence Condensate.

Yet, he dared not retract the domain, for the door would once again appear in front of Feng Yi Ju.

Su He’s face grew paler and paler, in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

At that moment, a sword cry piercing through space entered from outside the door.

A stunning woman in white clothes came on her sword; she was high in the Nine Heavens, touching it with her lance, sending out a sword light filled with chilling Sword Intent, aimed straight at Feng Yi Ju.

Su Huanian…
