Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 189 - 189 045 Half Body _1

189: Chapter 045 Half Body _1 189: Chapter 045 Half Body _1 Su He opened her mouth, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She merely gazed at the fairy outside the door, a solitary and elegant figure standing alone.

Although congratulating with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, exhaustion was hard to conceal in the depths of her eyes.

Su Huanian lightly flicked her jade finger, and a jade slip floated towards Su He: “This is something I stumbled upon on my way back.

It should be useful to you.”

The Dragon Turtle had protected Ya Ya for two months, and she had prepared a thank you gift, which was a set of cultivation techniques acquired from Tian Xing Palace that uses starlight to temper bloodlines, perfectly suitable for the beastly path of becoming a Divine God Beast.

But having just met, Su He had already transcended through tribulation to become a Dragon Turtle.

Thus, the cultivation technique was no longer appropriate to offer.

Since Su He’s transcension, she had stood outside the Door of Three Lives, guarding for a dozen days without an opportunity to prepare another thank you gift.

She now owed two, and she had to add a congratulatory gift for his becoming a Dragon Turtle during his tribulation.

There was no need to put the jade slip against her forehead, a glance over it was enough to know its contents—it was a Map of Mystery Huang World.

It recorded various sects and even the most dangerous places.

It was precisely what Su He wanted.

“Many thanks, Teacher Su…Teacher Su!” This was the first time Su He and Su Huanian had spoken in reality.

The last time they met in reality, it was just after awakening from hibernation, and Su He had yet to be able to speak.

He wasn’t sure how to address her for a moment.

After a silent moment, Su He softly spoke: “I’ve consulted the elders about Ya Ya’s origin and found many solutions, but they’re rather difficult to implement.

The elders will first try to modify the Transforming Beast Guide so that Ya Ya could cultivate it; the first attempt will be to condense a second body.

Even if something unexpected happens, she could still survive.”

In the midst of the snowstorm, Su Huanian was slightly taken aback, trembling faintly as she smiled.

Yet, two uncontrollable tears fell.

In nearly a month since her return, this was the only person who cared about Ya Ya.

A single clear tear fell to the ground, piercing through rock.

The tears of someone in the Stepping Sky Realm also were extremely rare materials.

The toad scratched with its little paws but ultimately refrained.

Now wasn’t the time to collect them—it would ruin the mood.

“Thank you!” Su Huanian spoke in an undertone.

This was the best news she had heard in months.

Su He looked at her and softly asked, “Uncle Luo is going to need Ya Ya’s blood to modify the Transforming Beast Guide.

Can you enter that small world?”

Upon emerging, he noticed that the Transcendence Realm gate at the very edge of the Door of Three Lives was shattered, its fragments buried under the snow.

Su Huanian nodded slightly.

After the Door of Three Lives was broken, a Space Gate formed, which wasn’t hidden.

Her connection with the Green Bird through the Space Gate had grown stronger.

The small world where the Green Bird resided was right behind Su He’s mini world.

If she were to enter, a single sword strike could tear through the spatial barrier and bring Ya Ya back.

But she did not want to.

That small world was very safe; Ya Ya was invincible and joyful there.

Moreover, Su He’s mini world was consecrated by the elders of the Dragon Turtle Tribe; even Feng Yi Ju wouldn’t dare to force his way in, even with the gates wide open.

There was no place safer than there.

Su Huanian lightly touched the air, summoning a drop of bright red blood which appeared from nowhere, and she gently flicked it into a crystal pendant, then handed it to Su He.

She didn’t need to enter the White Spirit Small World; the Green Bird could transport small items across space.

Soul Beast fluctuations couldn’t escape Su He’s perception, after all, he also had a Soul Beast.

Su He glanced at the toad.

The toad discerned disdain in his gaze.

It tapped a Jade Bi on Su He’s head and stamped its foot, “What’re you looking at?

Every Soul Beast has different abilities.

The Green Bird can transport items through space; I can even bring items from the Profound Realm into reality!”

The Profound Realm was neither entirely real nor unreal, different from the reality of this world.

Just as in his previous life, no one could turn a cake sent in a chat group into a real one.

This was a unique ability of the toad.

Tucked into its abdominal pocket, items could be brought out.

Of course, once out, they couldn’t become real objects, and only the toad itself could use them; Su He couldn’t even touch them.

Each Soul Beast was special—the Green Bird was chatty and lively, and this frog was also rather unrestrained.

The corners of Su Huanian’s mouth curled into a faint smile.

“Being special, blood alone might not suffice for Ya Ya.

I’ll make a trip to where she was born, gather a couple of thunderbolts…

would it trouble…Junior Brother, to pass them to Senior LongGui?”

Su He nodded.

Su Huanian asked softly, “Is it the same Senior LongGui who suppressed the entrance to Mystery Huang World during Junior Brother’s tribulation?”

That Senior LongGui was very kind to her, but she did not know why.

??

Su He blinked: “Suppressed the entrance to Mystery Huang World?”

Su Huanian laughed lightly.

It seemed that Senior LongGui hadn’t mentioned this matter.

Perhaps, as an elder doing things for their descendants, there was no need for ostentation?

She lightly flicked off the snow from her body and spoke softly, “When Junior Brother’s tribulation started, a terracotta-colored Dragon Turtle appeared here, pressing down the origin of Mystery Huang World to prevent too much from pouring in, likely to lessen the severity of Junior Brother’s Heavenly Tribulation.”

She was silent for a moment, then added, “I suspect that in Sealed Emperor Great World, there must also be a Dragon Turtle Senior suppressing it.”

This was the true meaning of a clan.

When she had fought fiercely and faced Heavenly Tribulation in a desperate place, not even a person who knew about it was there.

In fact, when Elders in the sect underwent tribulation, they often kept it secret from others, unless it involved life-and-death friends.

Su He nodded; on Sealed Emperor Great World’s side, it was Uncle Lei.

He had found it strange earlier why Uncle Lei’s voice came from the direction of Sealed Emperor Great World.

It turned out that unbeknownst to him, an elder had already protected him during his tribulation.

Su He chuckled out loud.

The toad was perched on the Dragon Head, holding onto the Dragon Horn, with its mouth crooked in amusement.

“Junior Brother, could you please send Ya Ya’s blood first?

I shall return within ten days.” Su Huanian spoke softly, and with a tremble of the Immortal Sword, she transformed into a beam of light and vanished from sight.

Where she had faced her tribulation was somewhat special, a desperate place.

Even with her current Tao Cultivation, she might need to spend some time there.

However, its uniqueness was precisely suited for gathering treasures of desperation, ideal for a congratulatory gift for Junior Brother’s advancement to Dragon Turtle.

After returning, for the second half of the journey on the Flowing Light River, she was on the same boat as Heavenly Star Palace Nanny Lan.

Nanny Lan was skilled in beast taming, so she took the chance to find out a lot about the Dragon Turtle Tribe.

Nanny Lan conjectured that a Sovereign Divine God Beast’s advancement, just like the Opening The Heaven in the Stepping Sky Realm, required various treasures from desperate places.

The Dragon Turtle Tribe certainly lacked none, but that didn’t mean she should refrain from giving a gift just because Junior Brother had plenty.

The sword light raced, and in a blink, Su Huanian traveled ten thousand miles.

After Su Huanian left, a figure appeared from the direction of Qingyuan Gate.

It was Feng Yi Ju, who cupped his hands towards Su He and smiled, “Congratulations to junior brother for transcending the Heavenly Tribulation and becoming a Dragon Turtle.”

Su He looked at him, and to his surprise, he could see genuine congratulations in Feng Yi Ju’s expression.

It was as if he was truly happy for him.

But in Su He’s memory, whether it was out of ignorance or confidence, Feng Yi Ju never truly showed reverence for the Dragon Turtle.

Had he thought about placing restrictions on him in the past?

Previously, when Su He was clad in the White Turtle’s external shell and exuding pure Dragon Turtle Qi, Feng Yi Ju still dared to probe multiple times.

Was this because he had been taught a lesson by Uncle Luo?

Su He thought for a moment.

The White Jade Turtle Shell in the External Space appeared instantly and draped over his body.

His entire Dragon Turtle form turned into the color of white jade.

He let out a long chant towards Feng Yi Ju and then instantly retracted the Turtle Shell.

The power of this Turtle Shell was exhausted, and it could not enhance Su He’s combat power for the time being.

It was slowly recovering, and if worn for too long, it would automatically fall off.

Seeing the familiar Dragon Turtle, the congratulatory expression on Feng Yi Ju’s face froze for an instant.

His mind became unstable in a flash.

At that moment, the fluttering snowflakes suddenly transformed into swords, swiftly thrusting forward.

The snowstorm was Su Huanian’s domain.

It was unknown how she managed to leave her domain in place after her departure.

This was not something Su He could achieve.

As the domain turned into a sword and thrust forward, it did not target Feng Yi Ju but pierced directly into the Door of Three Lives Stepping Sky Battlezone.

The Stepping Sky Battlezone was desolate, even the rocks were pitch black.

Unlike the Transcendental Battleground and the Demonic Battle Zone, there was no Formation city built at the entrance, just a Door of Three Lives casually inserted there.

Instead, if one followed the direction of the Door of Three Lives, they would head towards the center of the battlezone.

Suddenly, a ten-mile peach grove appeared.

It was just like the outside world, with flowers blooming and fragrance lingering, insects chirping and birds singing, clear springs flowing, a paradise on earth.

In the depths of the peach grove, between a small bridge and flowing water, there was a stone table where another Feng Yi Ju sat leisurely, radiating an air of ease.

He poured wine, enjoying a quiet drink.

Opposite him, a young master was accompanying him.

He bore a resemblance to Feng Luan from Yan Feng City, also a part of the Sealed Emperor Great World Royal Family.

The Sealed Emperor’s Palace suppressed the Sealed Emperor Great World, and although the entrance to the Two-Realms Battlefield was opened among the Minotaur tribes, the leadership naturally could not belong to the Minotaurs.

He was Feng Duo, with a status that wasn’t high nor low within the Imperial Clan.

He put down his wine cup, looked at Feng Yi Ju with a light smile and said, “Master Feng, the sovereign origin force was stolen.

How should I explain this to my father upon my return?”

His lineage had restrained Xuan Tian Gate, and the casualties were not few.

Among the Ten Major Immortal Doors of the Mystery Huang World, even those ranked lower could not be opposed by his lineage.

Fortunately, the true high echelons of Xuan Tian Gate were suppressing several great worlds and could not return to aid.

Feng Yi Ju shook his head with a light chuckle, about to speak, when his expression suddenly changed.

He turned his head and saw an Immortal Sword thrusting forward, entering the peach grove and exploding loudly.

Instantly, a snowstorm arose, and the pink peach grove was buried beneath the snow within moments.

Without needing a reminder, the four in the forest leaped up, ready to leave.

But at that moment, each snowflake turned into a stream of Sword Qi.

Slaughtering wildly!

Three-tenths targeted the Sealed Emperor Great World trio, while the remaining seven-tenths went straight for Feng Yi Ju.

Feng Yi Ju’s expression turned ice-cold.

He brought out a Big Seal to protect his head and waved his long sleeves to fend off the myriad Sword Qi.

But these Sword Qi were not to be underestimated; they were the Sword Qi Su Huanian had accumulated outside the Door of Three Lives for more than ten days.

Taking advantage of the moment when the external Feng Yi Ju was half-distracted, they targeted his other half and struck directly.

Feng Yi Ju was hard-pressed to cope, and when a Sword Qi shot through, his chest and abdomen was instantly pierced.

However, this was not the worst of it.

What truly plunged his heart into despair was the realization that Su Huanian knew his outward appearance was only half.

What about the origin force that he had been tricked into sending back?

…

…

Su He had not left.

He was still outside the Door of Three Lives.

He didn’t know what had happened that day; there was nobody around the Door of Three Lives, and the quietness suited him.

It was the kind of environment he enjoyed.

He had no interest in joining the bustle at Qingyuan Gate.

Looking in that direction, he noticed that neither the Camel nor Elder Ge was present, so there was nothing there worth lingering for.

He simply decided to wait here for Su Huanian’s return.

The Toad had already informed Uncle Luo in the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, and Feng Yaya’s blood was directly sent to the Profound Realm.

Su He tilted his head to look at the Toad lying in the recliner, toying with a piece of Crystal Jade Bi.

This small Jade Bi was a miniature version of the Profound Realm’s Crystal Jade Bi, resembling a tablet in the Toad’s hold, with tiny characters shimmering line by line.

This frog was one by one probing into the treasures of the Dragon Turtle Tribe!

Who knows what scheme it was concocting.

The Jade Bi had icons of seven Elders’ models, also documenting each Elder’s private treasure trove.

Next to their portraits was an icon of a droplet of blood.

The Toad was stretching out its finger to tap on the icons.
