(1/3)_1 225: Chapter 059 Are You Surprised or Not?

(1/3)_1 Su He turned his head frame by frame to look at Su Huanian.

Su Huanian gently gathered a strand of white hair at her temple and looked up at him with a slight, ambiguous smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Su He, feeling weak, said softly, “What if I say…

it wasn’t me who taught them, do you…

believe me?”

“Don’t believe it!” Toad asserted, stroking its chin confidently.

“Saboteur!

Braised bullfrog, aha!”

With a glance from Su He, his gaze was full of Divine Sense.

The Toad turned its head away, ignoring him.

We’re not bullfrogs, we are Void Frogs, and even our appearance is more akin to a tree frog.

Green Snake quietly retreated, its eyes bulging and round as if stuffed with two melons.

On the other hand, Green Bird flapped its wings and craned its head with interest, looking eager to jump into the conversation.

Any creature with Spirit Wisdom had its eyes on Su He.

Su He felt even his Turtle Shell tremble.

“Almost forgot the important thing, I need to enter the Dragon Turtle Cemetery.” He dashed back to the sea, like fleeing, and dove in with a splash, heading straight for the rocky eggs inland.

Feng Yaya’s voice came from the island.

“Safe travels, Father Emperor.

May your holiness be at peace.”

Su He ran even faster, only shouting back “Peace!

Peace!” when he was a great distance away.

A sudden surge of spiritedness washed over the island.

Su He moved swiftly.

He had intended to perform an examination on Green Snake, as it seemed White Spirit might have a fallback on it.

Better wait till after coming out of the White Spirit Great Tomb.

Gu Luo had refined the space of The World of White Spirit.

All doors had disappeared, stabilizing the space.

He could no longer simply find a door and step through.

Su He’s Control Water speed was no longer comparable to before.

He slipped into the water and rapidly slid to the position of the rocky eggs.

There were no doors in the surrounding space.

But here, the Spirit Clan beings had torn through the space for six thousand years nonstop in the form of a Locust Tree, causing irreparable damage to space.

Su He squinted and surveyed the area for anything unusual.

His Domain unfolded and he immediately detected the space riddled with holes.

With a leap, he rammed into one.

The world turned upside down, and when he opened his eyes, he was in the Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb.

The sunlight here was blinding, as if the Locust Tree had been enveloping it for millennia and suddenly cleared away the clouds, with even the sun trying its hardest to compensate.

The place was barren, emitting a decaying stench.

There stood a single massive Locust Tree in solitude.

A Sealing, thin as a membrane, was pasted on the outer layer of the Locust Tree.

The Spirit Clan’s Ghost Mask closed its eyes tightly, having fallen into a deep slumber.

Su He circled around the Locust Tree twice, poking it and saying, “Hey!

I’ve crossed the Heavenly Catastrophe and achieved Dragon Turtlehood!”

The Ghost Mask didn’t move at all, sealed to be unaware and unfeeling.

“The ground I crossed the Heavenly Catastrophe on was the Two-Realms Battlefield, between Mystery Huang World and Sealed Emperor Great World, and I received the blessings of both great worlds!”

Still, the Ghost Mask remained motionless.

Su He produced a water hand and poked him, rolling his eyes as he said, “The two great worlds formed two Tribulation Clouds.

It was as if I crossed the Heavenly Tribulation twice.

Guess how I managed to withstand it?”

The Ghost Mask trembled slightly and then returned to calm.

Su He caught this immediately.

His eyes brightened at once.

“It’s your Eternal Trigram!

If it wasn’t your Eternal Trigram that you stole from Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven, I would have been scattered to ashes!”

The Spirit Clan’s Ghost Mask trembled uncontrollably.

Su He leaned in close and whispered, “No, I shouldn’t thank you.

The Eternal Trigram you obtained was actually left for me by our tribal sister through your body—it was all her doing, even your entry into Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven.

That was the White Jade Dragon Turtle.”

Having said this, Su He raised his eyebrows, let out a long chant, and turned to leave, heading for the Mermaid Tribe.

Only after his figure had vanished did the Ghost Mask on the Locust Tree suddenly flip open its eyes and, behind the Sealing, began to roar and howl.

Its eyes were filled with resentment and fury!

Indeed, indeed!

He had been suspecting ever since the time he gained the Eternal Trigram, with its continuing stroke of luck, why he fell into the Dragon Turtle World immediately upon leaving Mystery Yellow Cave.

Sealed for six thousand years, with the chance of breaking free before his eyes, that chance turned out to be a pit.

Not only did it destroy his six thousand years of hard work, it also snatched away his Eternal Trigram!

How could mere misfortune describe this?

Damn it!

Damn it!

Not a single good thing comes from a Dragon Turtle!

How could heaven be so blind to let such a person cross the Heavenly Tribulation!

What gives him the right to cross it!

Why should he gain immortality!

Is it because he’s ugly?

Suddenly…

he stopped cursing.

Disbelief flashed in his eyes…

could it really be because of his Eternal Trigram?

Upon this thought, the entire Ghost Mask twisted, banging against the Sealing membrane, tormented as if life were worse than death.

The wind blew, and the leaves of the Locust Tree rustled softly.

The Mermaid Tribe was at peace.

With the oppressive mountain removed, life suddenly returned to an unbelievably calm state.

Hunting, fish herding, tranquil as water.

High Priest Granny swayed her mermaid tail gently on the surface of the water.

No longer concerned about the explosion from the Sealed Land, she basked in the sun, adjusted her medicinal herbs, and watched the Little Mermaids playing in the water.

This tranquility was the most wonderful thing in the world for an elder.

Suddenly, a voice entered the High Priest’s ears: “That Redtail Little Merman over there is stealing your Sea Octopus.”

The High Priest immediately jumped up.

This is Big Swamp, where cuttlefish are rare—Sea Octopus is so precious!

She flicked her tail and opened her mouth to yell, “Which little rascal is stealing…?”

As she turned with her staff, she saw an Ink Jade Dragon Turtle lying behind her, causing waves to tumble around it without making a sound.

“He…” Seeing the Dragon Turtle, she naturally knew its name.

This was a passive ability only a Pure Blood Dragon Turtle could possess.

High Priest Granny looked at the Dragon Turtle, her pupils flickering, her breathing becoming more and more labored as she slowly knelt down: “Congratulations to the Sovereign Divine God on crossing the Heavenly Catastrophe, affirming The Great Tao, gaining immortality, and achieving Dragon Turtlehood!”

Suppressing her excitement, her voice was trembling.

Did the Sovereign Divine God return to fulfill his promise?

But their agreement was that the Sovereign Divine God would return as a fully grown and achieved Dragon Turtle.

“Thank you!” Su He looked at her and said softly, “Could you help me sort out the Canons left by White Spirit?”

White Spirit is a Divine God’s name, and the Mermaids dared not be disrespectful, but as a fellow Dragon Turtle, they could call each other by name.

The High Priest was overjoyed, trembling, yet puzzled as she raised her head: “Sovereign Divine God, did your crossing of the catastrophe not bring any elders?”

The Dragon Turtle Tribe’s inheritance encompasses everything, there is nothing it does not have.

Sovereign Divine God, even after Your crossing the heavenly catastrophe, why would You need divine prophecies left by the gods?

Su He shook his head and said, “White Spirit was my elder tribeswoman, her demise brimming with uncertainties.

I have come to investigate, perhaps the canons hide something.”

The High Priest Granny was taken aback, her nostrils flared as she struggled to contain herself but eventually failed to do so.

Huge teardrops fell from her eyes, splashing into the water causing ripples to spread.

“Sovereign Divine God…” her voice choked with emotion, “Why has it been so long with no God coming to inspect…to worship?”

The clan’s canons recorded that when the Divine God was still present, Their relationship with the other Dragon Turtles was extremely good, with visitors every few centuries, but ever since the Divine God’s demise.

Not a single Dragon Turtle has come for six thousand years…

She dared not question the Dragon Turtles, but the injustice she felt in her heart was imaginable.

Su He shook his head and said softly, “This world has been sealed by my elder tribeswoman, other Dragon Turtles cannot enter, not even their kin.”

He looked at the High Priest Granny with pride and said, “How could the Dragon Turtle Tribe not care about the life and death of their clansmen?

In order to investigate her cause of death, they’ve turned the Three Thousand Great Worlds upside down.”

High Priest Granny’s breathing quickened, then she was struck with shock and astonishment in her heart.

The distinguished Dragon Turtles would never lie, which meant that in the outside world unknown to them, the Dragon Turtle Tribe had already done an earth-shattering deed for the Divine God.

She cried and laughed, slapping her snake tail and knelt repeatedly towards Su He, “Sovereign Divine God…

Sovereign Divine God…

I shall immediately organize our God’s divine prophecies, the canons.

Please, Sovereign Divine God, rest in the tribe for a while, I will immediately call back our clansmen to wash away the dust from Your journey!”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Su He shook his head, “I will go to the Island Among The Clouds to have another look at my elder tribeswoman’s corpse, hoping to find something.”

The High Priest Granny immediately nodded, “I will prepare the bamboo raft right away.”

Su He shook his head in refusal, and with a light flick of his four claws, he rode upon the waves straight up into the clouds, leaving the mermaid High Priest Granny staring in awe.

To ride the waves and ascend to the sky, Sovereign Divine God truly achieved the Dragon Turtle form after the tribulation!

My God, You truly have another kin.

The High Priest Granny cried tears of joy.

Su He ascended gracefully, breaking through the clouds and landing once more on Island Among The Clouds.

Everything on the island remained unchanged, as if time had stopped in this place.

The palace was exquisite and spotless, with sleepy birds and scampering rabbits, no trace of the Dragon Turtle Majesty being spread.

Su He strode over the waves and slowly pushed open the palace doors.

Two currents of Dragon Turtle Momentum burst forth from the hall, startling the birds and beasts, which didn’t even have time to run before they fell to the ground, rigid.

The last time he visited, he needed the aid of the White Jade Turtle Shell to withstand this momentum.

This time, however, the two currents posed no pressure to Su He at all.

In fact, he felt refreshed and familiar, as if those two currents…

Two currents??!!

Su He straightened up, then anger surged within him.

Who dares to trespass in the Dragon Turtle Cemetery?

Su He roared, looking into the hall, while the waves under his feet were ready for him to flee at any moment.

This place was not Su He’s turf, for even the elders of the Dragon Turtle Family could not enter.

At one glance into the inner part of the hall, his entire Turtle body froze in shock, his eyes wide with terror, as if he had seen the most horrifying sight.

Inside the great hall, nothing had changed, the finely-carved beams and painted rafters of the hall were empty, and the pool water peaceful.

Only on the small island at the center of the pool where once White Spirit’s corpse had lain, a transformation had occurred.

Originally, only White Spirit’s three-zhang-long Dragon Turtle corpse was peacefully lying there.

But now, beside the White Jade Dragon Turtle, there appeared another Ink Jade Dragon Turtle.

Smaller than the White Jade Dragon Turtle by one size, they lay side by side, both Dragon Turtles slightly tilting their heads, their mouths touching, as if they had just kissed each other.

The White Jade Dragon Turtle was the same one, but that Ink Jade Dragon Turtle…

with horns, Turtle Shell, Scale Armor…

It was unmistakably Su He himself!

The aura on the Dragon Turtle body was eerily silent; it was a dead Dragon Turtle.

The dead Su He!

Su He stood there, gasping for air, completely stunned for a long while, his mind blank.

Only one thought persisted: Did I…

die again?

Until a playful and lively voice rang in Su He’s ear.

“Surprise or not?

Shock or not?”

It was White Spirit.

The voice came from all around the great hall.

A hallucination to scare me?

“Where are you?” Su He looked up and asked, no one answered.

Only the machine-like repetition of, “Surprise or not?

Shock or not?”

Naughty!

On the contrary, Su He breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved through the waves, circling the small island, but he saw no signs of any illusions, gathered water into a ball, and showered himself with it, with no sense of dispelling any illusion.

Trying step foot on the small island, there were no traps.

He poked the White Spirit’s corpse, the Turtle Shell hard, Scale Armor clinking, and with a bit of force one could even feel the flesh beneath the Scales.

It seemed alive, just asleep.

Turning back, he poked his own corpse, no difference to be found.

Su He observed carefully for a while but could not discern anything special.

The small island was shaped like a Tai Chi symbol, with the two Dragon Turtles positioned in the Yin and Yang respectively, but their heads and tails met at the junction of Yin Yang, like a pair of lovers who shared the same bed in life and death.

This is too much; I understand if you can’t die clean, but forging me for a ghostly wedding is going too far.

Su He took a deep breath, looked at White Spirit’s corpse earnestly, and said, “Could you give an explanation?”

“Surprise or not?

Shock or not?” The pleasant and agreeable voice came through again.

“Shocked!

Surprised!” Su He replied in kind.

“Call me elder sister!”

Su He’s head was covered in black lines.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, “Elder sister!”

The sounds within the great hall responded again: “Surprise or not?

Shock or not?”

Su He “…”

After several tries, there were only two recorded voices, “surprised” and “call elder sister,” playing in a loop.

No matter what he said, the voices responded randomly.

“If you don’t cooperate, I will make a scene and I won’t be polite towards you anymore!” Su He gritted his teeth and glared at White Spirit’s body.

“OK, OK!” An impatient voice echoed in the great hall.
