Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 197 - 197 049 Soaring Snake·Moon Elder_1

197: Chapter 049 Soaring Snake·Moon Elder_1 197: Chapter 049 Soaring Snake·Moon Elder_1 The flow of the Flowing Light River was extremely fast, and the scenery breathtakingly beautiful.

With each stroke, one could scoop up a handful of stars.

Stars trailed their tails of light, creating a view too splendid for words.

Occasionally, cultivators would fly by on their swords, adding a touch of ethereal immortality, while flying boats would set up gangplanks side by side, connecting the two with a movable corridor to conduct business right on the Flowing Light River.

Su He maintained only a sliver of consciousness to control his direction, paddling with his limbs.

Most of his consciousness sank into his body, focusing on the Boundary Pearl in his abdomen.

The Boundary Pearl was crystal clear, with patterns of mountains, rivers, lakes, and vast plains on it.

However, these were just innate patterns formed by the Boundary Pearl absorbing the Origin of the world after transcending tribulations.

If Su He could successfully establish an inner world within the Boundary Pearl in the future, he could then materialize these patterns into real mountains and oceans.

Therefore, to judge whether a Divine God Beast’s Opening The Heaven was successful, one only needed to look at the leftover mountain and river patterns on their Boundary Pearl.

The more remained, the more the Opening The Heaven had failed.

Su He’s consciousness sank into the Boundary Pearl, which was shrouded in a mysterious yellow mist.

Unable to discern up from down or any direction, it was nothing but chaos.

This was his second time delving into the Boundary Pearl with his consciousness; the first time the Tao Palace was still there, and after it was moved, this place became pure chaos.

A Divine God Beast that Opens the Heaven goes through several steps, starting with condensing the Tao to form a foundation.

Within this chaos, one constructs their Tao foundation.

It might be the Five Elements, Yin Yang, or Wind and Thunder…

differing according to the beast.

But it’s mostly not just a single Tao; rather, it’s an amalgamation and blending of many Taos.

It’s somewhat like a cultivator in the Transcendence Realm condensing Heart Orifices and Divine Objects, but far more profound.

Once the Tao foundation is condensed, one can refine Opening Heaven Artifacts with the Tao and Divine Skills on the Tao foundation.

This is what Gu Luo referred to as condensing the Tao into an artifact.

When an artifact is refined to its limit, it can unlock the heaven.

The Tao foundation is like a plot of land, and the artifact is like a giant tree growing on this land.

The success of the giant tree is directly related to the land.

How powerful the Opening Heaven Artifacts can be, how vast a heaven they can open, is directly related to the foundation.

Only a strong and domineering foundation can condense powerful Opening Heaven Divine Artifacts.

White Spirit said that the Seven Absolute Secret Realm has something to do with Dragon Turtles Opening The Heaven, which should be related to the condensation of the foundation.

The Dragon Turtle Clan has several methods for condensing the foundation and artifacts.

Some use their own True Blood as the foundation, condensing a flesh and blood Tao foundation, embodying a heaven-reaching giant.

The giant wields an artifact, an axe that Opens the Heaven with a single swing!

Some take the earth as the foundation and a tall mountain as the artifact.

For every inch the mountain grows, the heaven extends an inch.

The mountain connects heaven and earth.

Su He had yet to decide which path to take; all the methods of Opening The Heaven in the Dragon Turtle Tribe are complex, and any path mastered could pull all the mountain range and river patterns on the Boundary Pearl into the Inner World.

The more methods there are, the harder the choice becomes.

Su He opened his eyes; the toad kept stuffing things into his External Space without cessation.

“It will take seven or eight days of travel; don’t waste this time, try to condense the Mountain Divine God.”

The toad racked its brains.

Mountains absorb all things.

There were two directions: continue to condense the External Appearance or begin condensing the Mountain Divine God.

The Mountain Divine God is a tremendous Big Seal, inherently equipped with effects like Suppression, Sealing, and Collision.

It fits the combat style of the Dragon Turtle perfectly.

The key is to be blunt!

Su He went with the flow, ceaselessly absorbing various treasures to repair his External Appearance shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation, while also starting to condense the Mountain Divine God.

As he burst forth from the Flowing Light River and emerged from the port, Su He had already condensed a walnut-sized lump of golden metal.

It wasn’t yet in the shape of a Big Seal, nor did it have the might of the Mountain Divine God; it was just a little clump of metal that he could retract into his body or release to strike his enemies.

But the effects of Suppression and Collision hadn’t emerged yet.

Leaving the port and discerning his direction against the Jade Slip, he continued northeast.

After two days of swift travel, the entrance to the Seven Absolute Secret Realm was clearly in sight.

The entrance was a perfectly ordinary Space Rift, and the boulder where White Spirit meditated in a cross-legged position was still there, although it had weathered a bit under the wind and sun.

The recording of White Spirit must have been made at least ten thousand years ago.

A few cultivators lingered outside the entrance, wanting to enter but not daring to do so.

“Toad, get the Escape Talisman ready.” The toad took out the transfer talisman; earlier, while passing by Xuan Tian Gate on the Flowing Light River, they had specifically set their transfer point there.

If anything really happened, they could immediately transfer to Xuan Tian Gate.

Considering the Dragon Turtle Tribe’s reputation, they would offer protection.

Su He descended the waves and plunged into the Secret land, rolling in as the waves surged in.

Within the secret land lay mountains, rivers, and lakes, and the entrance was in the mountain forest by the lake.

Upon entering the secret land, the waves beneath him turned into heavy rain, and to Su He’s surprise, he could no longer condense the waves!

The toad stood up, snapping its fingers and trying a few Magic skills, but none had any effect.

“Magic skills are forbidden in this place!” declared the toad gravely.

“Try the Divine Skills!”

Su He closed his eyes, then opened them with a serious expression: “The Divine Skills are still present, but can’t be actively released.” It felt as though his hands and feet were bound.

Divine Skills are like eating and drinking; they’re instinctual.

But now, it was as if his mouth was sealed shut—instinct remained, yet he couldn’t eat.

Except for passive Divine Skills.

The External Appearance clung to his body, thin as a membrane.

The defense was still there, but Su He couldn’t actively release Fu Mountain to absorb treasures.

Even the small gold metal block formed by the Mountain Divine God couldn’t be released.

Su He frowned, then suddenly understood.

Divine Skills are instinctive and generally difficult to be restrained by ordinary means.

But if this secret realm was the masterpiece of White Spirit, then it made sense.

“Roar!” Su He roared, unable to use Divine God Might, resorting to a plain beast roar.

With Divine Skills forbidden, his eyes lit up.

Without Divine God Skills, he actually had the advantage here!

If he encountered an enemy, they could only compete in physical strength.

In terms of physical strength, Dragon Turtles fear no one!

The toad stood on the Turtle Shell on tiptoes, looking around in all directions: “Divine Sense can’t be used either, is there anyone here?”
