Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 172 - 172 034 Mountain and Sea_1

172: Chapter 034 Mountain and Sea_1 172: Chapter 034 Mountain and Sea_1 The toad’s expression was solemn, “Let’s go!

Leave this place and mind your own business!”

It flashed away toward a hill in the distance but didn’t see Su He following.

Turning its head, it saw the Dragon Turtle shaking its head with a sigh, and actually charging toward those people in a show of dominance.

Does this Dragon Turtle have a brain disease?

Don’t you know you’re about to cross the catastrophe?

the toad thought with clenched teeth.

It watched with wide eyes as the Dragon Turtle swung its claws, knocking four Minotaurs to the ground.

After searching their bodies and taking their treasures, it caught up with the fiery red-haired girl.

The toad looked at him with resentment.

Su He opened his mouth, “These are our own people; we can’t ignore them.” The four Minotaurs were just in the Intention Orifices Realm, they could be wiped out with a wave of the hand and wouldn’t trigger a Heavenly Tribulation.

He was also very frustrated, having encountered Si Ze three times—once in pursuit of someone, and the remaining two being chased by others.

Did this girl have some kind of special constitution?

The toad sighed and said to Si Ze, “Little girl, from today on, your life is going to be extraordinary.

The Dragon Turtle risked its life to save you, and that’s really worth a lot!”

Si Ze blinked, don’t fool me, she had seen Uncle Dragon Turtle’s capabilities before.

In the Transcendental Battleground, he was an unstoppable existence.

Just four Intention Orifices, if it weren’t for running out of Beast Tooth Bullets, she could have handled them on her own.

“What’s with that look in your eyes, little girl?” the toad waved its hand, “Forget it, I won’t speak with you anymore.

Do you know of any absolutely safe places here where no one goes?”

Where there were people, there were problems; it was better to hide.

The Dragon Turtle took it away from the small world, and without finding a safe place to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, it felt uneasy.

Si Ze thought about it and shook her head, “There are safe places, but basically no place where no one goes.”

Su He leaned in, “Tell me about the situation in the Two-Realms Battlefield.” It would be best if there was a tactical map of the battlefield so he would know where to lay low.

Si Ze shrugged, “The situation is average, we’re in a tough spot.

On our side is the Door of Three Lives, and outside the Door is Qingyuan City, protected by formations, and considered safe.

Currently guarding it are the brothers Yu Lin and Ge Feng.

On the other side is Yan Feng City from the Sealed Emperor Great World, guarded by the Seal Emperor Great World Royal Family member named Feng Luan, who is about to Step into Demonic Realm.

Ge Feng even suspects she has already transformed.”

A person who has advanced into the Demonic Realm cannot enter the Metamorphosis Warzone, but one in the seventh step of Transcendence, Gathering Origin State, can enter and then advance into the Demonic Realm, and although they will be suppressed to the Transcendence Realm by the rules here, that would be the limit of Transcendence!

Ordinary Transcendents would find it extremely difficult to approach.

Si Ze pointed out a few other focal points of combat and explained the situation of the Transcendental Battleground to Su He.

Meanwhile, in a desolate and uninhabited world, the mountains and rivers stirred, and a huge dragon head emerged from underground, shaking the soil from its head with a long chant.

“Aung~”

If Su He were here, he would recognize that this was a genuine chant of a Dragon Turtle; his own voice was far too immature in comparison.

This world was known as Mountain and Sea, part of the Dragon Turtle’s Profound Realm.

The Profound Realm, opened by Ninth-Grade Spirit Beasts, is neither real nor illusory.

It truly exists, yet cultivators cannot find it.

Only after taming a Spirit Beast and being led by the beast’s consciousness can one enter.

The Profound Realm is like the online groups from Su He’s previous life; no matter where you are, as long as the Spirit Beast is there, consciousness can enter to communicate with other cultivators in the same Profound Realm.

Because of this feature, Su He had hoped that the toad would visit various Profound Realms, perhaps stumbling upon a method to heal Ya Ya.

Each Profound Realm has its own unique set of rules, which closely relate to the Spirit Beast that opened the realm.

For example, in the Dragon Turtle’s Mountain and Sea Profound Realm, every consciousness that enters Mountain and Sea transforms into a beast, unable to speak human words, only able to roar as beasts do.

Without understanding the Beast Language, you can hardly move an inch here.

Of course, there are no outsiders in Mountain and Sea, only the Dragon Turtle.

The Dragon Turtle that emerged from the ground with a long chant awoke its kin.

Soon, six echoes responded.

In the entire Mountain and Sea Profound Realm, there are only seven Dragon Turtles; these are the only Dragon Turtles left in the world.

The chants of the Dragon Turtles were intermittent, each conveying different meanings.

“Aung~” The first Dragon Turtle that emerged from the ground gave a long chant.

“Fellows, that little one has emerged from the White Spirit Tomb.”

“Aung~”

A reply came in the form of a Dragon Turtle chant from inside a volcano with bubbling lava and erupting bubbles.

“How is he?

I hope he hasn’t been adversely influenced by the Little White Spirit and had his path cut short?”

The giant turtle beneath the soil shook its head and responded with a long chant.

“Not only has his path not been cut short, I do not know what he did in the Great Tomb, but his bloodline has advanced, and he is nearly ready to cross the catastrophe.”

In the Mountain and Sea Profound Realm, there was a sudden pause.

Then, chants from various directions rose up.

They were probably all asking, hasn’t it been just one year since that little one touched the Heritage Illusion?

To cross a catastrophe in one year?

Surely, it wasn’t some seed that one of you old folks left behind?

The number of Divine God Beasts is too small, with the higher-level ones being fewer in number.

How could those young ones with potential not attract the attention of their predecessors?

Within the Three Thousand Great Worlds and a hundred thousand small worlds, there are too many worlds, and turtles are too numerous to count.

Even those who have set out on the path of the Dragon Turtle are everywhere.

Not all can be monitored.

Dragon Turtles only pay attention to those with at least 70% compatible bloodline or—those who can enter the Heritage Illusion ahead of time.

Either of these two types has the potential to further evolve into a Divine God Beast Dragon Turtle.

Especially the latter, being able to enter the Heritage Illusion implies that the Heart Orifice Shadow of the Dragon Turtle is solid enough, making the chances even greater.

Su He belonged to the latter category.

The first Dragon Turtle that emerged from the soil, a terra cotta color, was the senior who had been paying attention to Su He but never approached him.

A long chant came from another Dragon Turtle.

“What are his chances of successfully crossing the catastrophe?”

The terra cotta Dragon Turtle responded with a long chant filled with a hint of helplessness.

“Who knows!

This youngster has grand ambitions, he’s gone to cross the catastrophe in the battlefield between Sealed Emperor Great World and Mystery Huang Great World.”

These two great worlds have robust origins and represent the starting points of the universes.

Just a touch of their primal essence is sufficient.

Should I say the little turtle is fearless, or admire his confidence?

In the Profound Realm, silence reigned for a moment before a Dragon Turtle softly chanted.

“Should we play it safe and pull him out?”

The earthy-yellow Dragon Turtle shook its head, replying with a soft chant.

“It’s useless!

He came out of the world of the Little White Spirit, and the Tribulation Clouds have directly formed.

He’s been marked by two great worlds; pulling him out now will only complicate things further.”

“Besides, who would pull him out?

If we get close, we’ll affect his Heart Orifice Shadow, and we might even disperse it directly.

Who else has the power to pull someone from the Two-Realms Battlefield?”

As destined by heaven, pecking and drinking are preordained—as powerful as they are, Dragon Turtles are pitifully few in number—there are three thousand great worlds, but only seven Dragon Turtles.

Reproduction is extremely difficult; so much so that Dragon Turtles dare not even appear to guide their juniors.

Their Tao Rhythm is too concentrated; getting close to their juniors could scatter the juniors’ Heart Orifice Shadows.

Typically, like Qing, juniors who had ventured through the Heritage Illusion of the Dragon Turtle and had their bloodline reach sixty to seventy percent would have arrangements in place.

They could send underlings, such as mermaids, to guide them.

This truly was entirely feasible; which Dragon Turtle’s advancement didn’t take thousands of years?

This Little Dragon Turtle was only three or four years old!

Even if he had some unique innate abilities that allowed him to advance quickly, they had estimated it would still take over a hundred years.

He had already overstretched his estimation of the Little Dragon Turtle’s potential.

He had dispatched the mermaid early on, but half a year into the journey, the mermaid hadn’t even touched the edge of the Mystery Huang Great World before it became unnecessary…

Who could have known that this fellow, after a single trip to the Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb, would be facing tribulation.

They couldn’t enter the White Spirit Graveyard; with their strength, entering such a small world would collapse it directly, and even the corpse of the White Spirit could not be preserved.

A Dragon Turtle softly chanted.

“Brother Luo Clan doesn’t think this little one will successfully transcend the Catastrophe?”

It pondered for a moment before continuing with a soft chant, “If any of you have a way to protect him through this journey, please lend a hand.

The little one’s talent for Double Replication is too astonishing.

It would be a true pity if he were to perish here.”

Even if he couldn’t become a Dragon Turtle, being an ordinary Turtle Demon held great potential.

The Dragon Turtles couldn’t see Qing betting on dice, but they were not blind; having watched him all along, how could they not notice his prey replicating upon capture?

In the Qingyuan Gate, there were those who were Stepping Sky and those in the Demonic Realm, and from time to time, there were the curious ones gazing into the eyes of the Dragon Turtle.

Without their cover, Qing’s dice would have been exposed long ago.

The Dragon Turtles couldn’t understand the law behind the sudden increase in prey, but which Dragon Turtle didn’t have their own Innate Divine Abilities?

Just like the White Spirit, they could lend out their Divine Skills—isn’t that a form of replication?

And that was even more unreasonable than Su He’s mystical replication of Divine Skills.

“Roar~”

A Dragon Turtle’s chant conveyed its intent.

“I’ll go to the Sealed Emperor Great World to Suppress the pathway to that world, preventing the Power of the World from the Sealed Emperor Great World from being too strong in the Two-Realms Battlefield, in an attempt to reduce the might of the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“Roar~” came the reply from the Dragon Turtle who had been observing Su He.

“I’ll go to the Mystery Huang World then—It’s been a long time since I returned home.” It also originated from the Mystery Huang World.

Suppressing two great worlds was something not even Dragon Turtles could do, but merely suppressing two pathways was easily within their capabilities.

“Brother Luo Clan, do you know what exactly is inside the Small White Spirit Tomb that allowed his bloodline to advance so much in just two months?”

The Dragon Turtle guarding Su He shook its head and responded with a low chant.

“That little girl has always been shrouded in mystery; how would I know what she’s up to?”

He still remembered her, a strikingly beautiful Little Dragon Turtle.

She was a genius just like Su He, who had entered the Heritage Illusion without becoming a Dragon Turtle.

She achieved her Dragon Turtle True Form in just over eighty years—with no external help whatsoever, relying solely on her own cultivation!

Such a little one, after becoming a Dragon Turtle, didn’t build her own Dragon Turtle world, nor did she rush to advance.

She spent her days enveloped in mystery, up to who knows what.

Until one day, six thousand years ago, she suddenly appeared in the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, dragging all the Dragon Turtle’s consciousness into it like a madwoman.

Joyfully, she announced to her seven predecessors, “I’m not going to live anymore!”

And then she truly achieved annihilation!

She just died like that!

A Dragon Turtle, beings considered immortal, died!

The seven predecessors almost flipped over the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Even today, the Dragon Turtles have not stopped investigating.

They can’t enter the Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb of the White Spirit.

Nor can they send others in.

That little girl seemed to anticipate her seven ill-intentioned predecessors—those they sent stepped in and immediately emerged from some other great world.

Completely bewildered and having observed nothing.

In the past six thousand years, the only ones who had entered were a Toad Spirit Beast, a Dragon Turtle of mixed heritage whose path had ended, and the Little Dragon Turtle who was about to face the Catastrophe.

They’re going to watch over the Little Dragon Turtle as he faces the Catastrophe.

They also hope to speak with him and the Toad after the Catastrophe, at the very least, to learn what exactly is happening inside the Great Tomb World.

The Little White Spirit really died, her spirit extinguished.

But for a Dragon Turtle to die so mysteriously.

No one could be at peace with that!

In their eyes, the collapse of an entire great world is less significant than the loss of a single Dragon Turtle.

Especially since Little White Spirit was merely over twenty thousand years old—just a little one!

Dragon Turtles lived long, counting ten thousand years as a year.

Both Little White Spirit and this Little Dragon Turtle about to Transcend were from the same generation.

By all accounts, this Little Turtle should be calling White Spirit his elder sister.

Meanwhile, Su He was absorbing the Turtle Shell while carrying the mountain, listening to Si Ze explain the situation in the Two-Realms Battlefield, all the while watching the clouds above.

He had a feeling that the heavens wanted to launch a sneak attack, giving him a harsh blow.
