Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 190 - 190 046 Bai Ze_1

190: Chapter 046: Bai Ze_1 190: Chapter 046: Bai Ze_1 “What is this?” Su He asked.

“I don’t know, I haven’t looked yet.” The Toad gently tapped with its claw, the fresh blood was flicked away, and within were phantoms flashing by.

“Soaring Snake, Tengu, Houdou…

all Divine God Beasts!” These Divine God Beasts used to be called fierce beasts, as the Toad casually pointed at the phantom of the Soaring Snake.

…

…

In Yunmeng Ze, a vast deluge raged.

To call it a marsh would be an understatement, for it was many times larger than all the oceans of Su He’s previous life combined.

On an island, Gu Luo shook his head to get rid of the water that drenched him.

He had just been rained on for several days in Su He’s mini world, and now he was surrounded by water in the Big Swamp.

Not all the Dragon Turtles liked water.

He preferred the land!

His true self had not yet left the Mystery Huang World.

Opposite him, a pure and flawless White Dragon undulated its form, transforming into a gorgeous woman who then alighted before him.

“So, Gu Luo Friend, you’re seeking me out to have your little one join my Qianjiang?” Her red lips parted slightly, and she asked with a smile.

Qianjiang was her Profound Realm.

Gu Luo laughed heartily, “What does Princess Chang think?”

It always felt odd, the Yunmeng Ze Dragon Palace was of the Drake clan, of the Demon kind.

Yet, they bore a deep connection with the Divine God Dragon clan.

Many within their ranks possessed Divine God Blood of the Demon Species.

This Princess Chang was the cream of the crop.

Once she revealed her Drake form, Gu Luo could sometimes not even distinguish whether she was a Drake or a Dragon.

It’s almost as if a Divine God Dragon had mysteriously achieved a human form.

But that, of course, was utterly impossible.

Divine Beasts cannot cultivate a human form, no matter how advanced their Tao Cultivation.

It could only be said that this Princess was exceedingly unconventional: having the capacity to attain the true form of a Divine God Dragon, yet she stopped just short of the final step, choosing instead to become a Demon Cultivator with a human form.

Should he mention, or not, that this is indeed the one who once got along with White Spirit?

When White Spirit was around, this one had the best relationship with it.

Perhaps it was also because of White Spirit that she gave Su He a hand on the day he became an apprentice and furthermore promised a Princess?

Gu Luo watched her.

Princess of Yunmeng Ze, Ji Feixue.

She was a true ancient being, living for countless years.

When he first emerged, she was already the Princess, and though the Dragon King of Yunmeng Ze had changed many times over, she remained the Princess.

The Iron Princess and the ever-changing Dragon Kings.

Ji Feixue graced with a smile, “If Gu Friend requests it, naturally it is possible.

However…

I want that little one to attend the next Dragon Divine God Sacrifice during the spring.

That’s not too much to ask, is it?”

Gu Luo was momentarily taken aback.

The Dragon Divine God Sacrifice had nothing to do with the Yunmeng Ze Drake clan; it was a ritual for the ancestors of the Dragon clan.

Many immature Divine God Beasts would participate—after all, who would want to miss forging a good relationship with the Dragon clan’s lineage?

Divine Beasts also have their hierarchies.

What the old geezer from the Dragon clan was thinking, Gu Luo wasn’t sure, for it’s been tens of thousands of years that it wasn’t the Dragon clan that presided over the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice, but this Drake that took up the role.

Xuan Tian Gate’s green loach had complained several times, but it seemed…

it had never won against this one.

The Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was the Dragon clan’s affair; the other Four Spirits never took part in it.

She was after that prestige.

Gu Luo thought for a moment, “In principle, it’s possible, but the little one must decide for himself.”

As an elder, he would not make any decisions for Su He, even if those decisions were the right ones.

Divine God Beast, freedom!

Ji Feixue laughed, covering her mouth, “Then in principle, I agree to let him enter Qianjiang.

But it depends on his performance at the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.”

Gu Luo: “…”

A little Golden Dragon emerged from the water, addressing Gu Luo: “Uncle Luo, ask He Di to choose the Suppression Land next to me when he makes his selection.

I’ll persuade auntie for you.”

Her tone was clear and crisp, a young female dragon.

This was from the Dragon clan’s Divine Beasts, a little dragon born six thousand years ago.

Gu Luo was about to respond with a laugh when he suddenly sensed a ferocious aura rising from the direction of East Cloud Mountain.

“Soaring Snake?”

He spread his claws, and with a flick, his mountainous body disappeared instantaneously.

He wasn’t breaking through the space to traverse; such a distance was not worth ripping through space with a step of his claw.

As such, his body moved through the air, yet Yunmeng Ze remained as calm as ever with no sign of disturbance.

“Huh?” the little Golden Dragon soared up, gazing towards East Cloud Mountain, “Auntie, what’s that?”

Ji Feixue sat cross-legged in mid-air, swinging her legs playfully above the water’s surface, smiling lightly, “It seems some old turtle has gotten into trouble that the Little Dragon Turtle has managed to stir up.

He’s trouble too.

Xiao Qi, stay away from him and don’t mention again about choosing the Suppression Land next to you.”

The little Golden Dragon swished its tail, its eyes spinning.

…

“Roar!” Su He let out a roar, using full strength for the first time since the tribulation, a wave of Divine God Might spread, assailing the phantoms ahead.

It was a huge Python Snake, pitch-black as ink, with flicking tongue and bowed head, staring menacingly with a strange smile in its serpentine eyes.

“A little one from the Dragon Turtle Tribe?

Not much ability, but a big temper.

Haven’t your elders taught you what manners are?”

Manners be damned!

After blood dripped onto the crystal, the phantom that appeared was unknown, but with a casual tap from the Toad, a Soaring Snake was conjured, looming over Su He, its malice rushing headlong towards him.

“Just coming out and flaunting your power, even trying to intrude on my sea of knowledge with your dregs, and you’re expecting courtesy?”

“Roar!” Su He roared again, his Divine God Might coalescing into a mass and directly bombarding the phantom in front of him.

Whatever you are, let’s talk after I’ve hit you, and if that fails, I’ll just turn around and go back to my mini world and call for my elders.”

The Divine God Might directly struck the Soaring Snake’s phantom.

In an instant, the phantom grew furious, hissing angrily as it attempted to pounce on Su He, but was left dazed and collapsed after a roar of Divine God Might.

A moment later, it recovered, looking down at Su He with eyes calm as still water.

Alarms blared in Su He’s heart.

It seemed as though the Soaring Snake had suddenly become a different creature, as if it had transformed from a frivolous dandy to a mature adult.

The Toad had not yet returned, having already dived into the Profound Realm to summon the elders the instant the Soaring Snake appeared.

Su He lifted his head, locking gazes with the Soaring Snake.

Inside him, the Turtle Element surged, and he was brewing Divine God Might in his mouth.

Against such elusive phantoms, Divine God Might was most effective.

Just then…

“Old mudfish, if you look one more time, I’ll dig out your real eyeballs!” A voice suddenly emerged, and turning around, Su He saw Gu Luo, who had stealthily lain down behind him at some point, squinting at the Soaring Snake’s phantom.

He seemed disappointed that the Soaring Snake’s real body hadn’t come.

“Luo…” the Soaring Snake spoke, its voice completely different from the sharpness before, with a hint of agedness.

However, the moment it saw Gu Luo, it seemed to gnash its teeth in anger.

Gu Luo couldn’t care less about it, looking down at Su He and the sheepishly returning Toad from Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm.

Laughing, he said, “You two sure have some tricks up your sleeves, actually managing to retrieve items from the Profound Realm.”

He looked at the Jade Bi atop the Toad’s head and chuckled, “You mustn’t take out this thing from the Mountain and Sea again—the blood drop comes from the Divine Skill ‘Blood Curse.’ Anyone who is marked by the Dragon Turtle Blood Curse will be the eternal enemy of the Dragon Turtle Tribe for generations, and even reincarnation does not erase the mark.

Having the Blood Curse mark on the Jade Bi means marking its entire tribe, thus making its whole clan the enemy of the Dragon Turtles.”

He gestured towards the Soaring Snake in front of Su He, continuing, “The Soaring Snake Clan was marked thirty thousand years ago, and since then, it’s been hiding somewhere unknown, leaving only a few underage younglings sneaking around outside.

White Spirit almost exterminated these younglings, with two that slipped through the net, one of which is the one that just appeared and had its consciousness shattered by your Divine God Might.”

“This one now is an old fellow, living for five or six hundred thousand years, yet as weak as a dog.

Last time I bumped into it, I almost killed it, but unfortunately, it managed to slip away slickly.”

To mark an entire species with a Blood Curse requires condensing a single drop of that species’ True Blood, and once someone touches the mark, the whole species will sense it.

Even their consciousness might be projected over.

Originally, the Jade Bi was in the Profound Realm; that place is the domain of the Dragon Turtle, suffused with their consciousness for countless millennia.

These creatures, even if they blood-sacrifice themselves, don’t have the ability to infiltrate into the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm.

The Dragon Turtles would even hope for their consciousness to project over, so they might have a chance to find and locate their bodies.”

Just now, the first to coalesce consciousness was one of the young Soaring Snake Clan members operating outside, whose consciousness was shattered by Su He’s Divine God Might.

The old fellow showed up afterwards.”

“Luo…

Stop showing off your wit.

Your family has a Dragon Turtle emerging, and my family also has two little ones roaming outside.

They are the younger generation, they should come into contact more…” The Soaring Snake phantom spread its wings, looking at Gu Luo.

The Dragon Turtle Tribe truly had a brain affliction, fearing a reputation for bullying the young?

Letting its little snakes move stealthily.

If it were in charge, it would exterminate the enemy’s young at all costs, the sooner the better.

It glanced slightly at Su He.

Gu Luo spat at him.

Your kids?

Really?

Afraid of death and clinging to the brink without advancing, ever since the era of White Spirit, you’ve been using the guise of the young all the way to now.

Later, I’ll find them and crush them with one claw.

To avoid unnecessary complications.

Thirty thousand years of non-killing is enough.

More than not taking advantage of the weaker, the Dragon Turtle desires a reputation for protecting its offspring.

Su He and the Soaring Snake locked gazes, neither harboring good intentions.

Su He shook his head, “Why bring the offspring into it?

Why don’t you come and fight me instead?” Right here and now, in front of Uncle Luo, just come at me, and I’ll admit defeat right away.

Gu Luo burst into hearty laughter.

Even given ten times its courage, would it dare to come?

His spit shattered the Soaring Snake’s projection.

He then turned to look at a certain spot in the void: “Bai Ze old man, is that you?”

A figure emerged from the void.

It was a divine beast with pure white fur, exuding an aura of being well-read upon first glance.

Despite its tiger head, it had a gaunt face, without sideburns, giving the impression of something between a deer and a tiger, its antlers twisting beautifully.

A painting scroll floated by Bai Ze’s side, with a brush autonomously painting in the air; the painting depicted Su He with his mouth open in a Divine God Might Roar.

Gu Luo’s whiskers fluttered: “I knew you would come!”

Bai Ze, with his extensive knowledge and strong memory, understood everything.

He even established the Bai Ze Building to set up a battle ranking that was accessible to all the Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The main ranking list didn’t discriminate by race, age, Boundary Status, or life and death…

it purely ranked combat power, listing a hundred thousand individuals.

There was also a “Young Dragon List” that ranked the combat power of all underage Divine God Beasts and Cultivators below the Three-fold Zhong of Stepping Sky Realm, while also evaluating their talent and prospects.

Of course, there were also the Pill Ranking, Weapon Ranking, Formation Ranking, Talisman Ranking, and even rankings for the powers of All Heavens, Wealth Rankings.

Countless from the Three Thousand Great Worlds demanded Bai Ze’s death.

This ranking was the root of many disasters, causing numerous people to suffer.

Unfortunately, Bai Ze was a top-tier Divine God Beast with extraordinarily high combat power.

It was a pity it was alone, without establishing a race, otherwise, there would’ve been one more formidable race among the strong of the Heavens.

Countless Great Worlds banned the circulation of this ranking, like the Qingyuan Gate, which had never seen the circulation of Bai Ze’s battle ranking.

Many viewed this ranking as a Flood Beast, yet Divine God Beasts were all into this sort of thing.

What they wanted was prestige!

Su He, as a newly born Little Turtle from the Dragon Turtle tribe, was worthy of Bai Ze taking the initiative to gather information personally—these top-tier Divine God Beasts all had a screw loose.

If it weren’t collecting the information itself, it would feel belittled, fearing an upheaval against its Bai Ze Building.

Others might have trouble finding it, but the Dragon Turtle, being a Divine God Beast itself, would not find it difficult.

Bai Ze lowered its head to look at Su He: “Congratulations, young friend, on successfully transcending your tribulation.

I present you with a battle ranking list as a congratulatory gift.” It flicked a beam of white light that landed before Su He, turning into a jade mirror.

Words emerged upon the mirror’s surface.

Only thirty names continuously changed on the cover page.

This was the top thirty of the battle ranking, and Bai Ze himself didn’t know how to order them, so they appeared randomly.

Each name was followed by annotations of their species and status.

Su He saw two Dragon Turtles on the list.

Tai, Dragon Turtle, alive.

Ming, Dragon Turtle, unknown.
