Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 242 - 242 1 Gathering of the Divine God Beasts_1

242: Chapter 1: Gathering of the Divine God Beasts_1 242: Chapter 1: Gathering of the Divine God Beasts_1 East Cloud Mountain, former territory of the No-Phase Sword Sect, has now turned into an annex of the Qingyuan Gate.

Yet, the number of disciples guarding this place is not small; most of the former disciples of the No-Phase Sword Sect are still here.

The Sect Leader personally welcomed their return to the sect, but afterwards, they always felt somewhat awkward, as if there was a barrier between them.

So they preferred to stay here, guarding the extreme west of East Cloud Mountain, corresponding from afar with Green Origin Mountain in the East.

As the snow continued to fall day after day, the sword sect disciples trudged through the snow, practicing their swordplay and cultivating their Qi.

With the Door of Three Lives Transcendental Battle Field gone, these disciples of the transcendence realm regained some peace for the time being.

Moreover, without the supervision of their elders, they behaved more loosely—there were even some among them who were drunk and passed out in the snow.

Just then, a long chant sounded, and upon looking up into the high sky, one could see a golden dragon and an Ink Jade Dragon Turtle slicing through the clouds and waves, bobbing up and down in the cloud sea and heading straight for Yunmeng Ze.

The disciples who had drunk themselves into oblivion were absolutely stunned.

The news of the Dragon Turtle undergoing its heavenly tribulation had spread far and wide in recent months, but no matter how vivid the rumors, they couldn’t compare to the shock of witnessing the arrival of the heavenly tribulation firsthand in the transcendental battleground.

The entire sky split into two distinct types of tribulation clouds, and the aura of annihilation had everyone prostrating themselves on the ground, overwhelmed with fear.

Even after several months, it would still startle them awake from their dreams.

Watching the Dragon Turtle cross the sky, the disciples below couldn’t bring themselves to call out “uncle master” no matter what, as the Dragon Turtle seemed to belong to an entirely different world from them.

…

…

The dragon and the turtle made no attempt to conceal their forms as they traversed East Cloud Mountain and entered Yunmeng Ze directly.

Crossing over East Cloud Mountain, the abundant moisture in the air was refreshing, and the whole world felt comfortable.

Yunmeng Ze was an endless expanse of water, with high mountains and large islands amidst the water, each island displaying a primordial landscape.

At this moment, many divine beasts were converging, their roars echoing continuously.

In the western volcanoes, a Bifang took flight, its cries piercing the sky.

In the Ze Water, a Golden Toad splashed and submerged, while on the islands, Kang lay sprawled, Flying Tigers roared angrily, and the Heavenly-Reaching Python coiled around a giant peak, letting out a spiraling, hissing scream.

A Jiaolong burst forth from the water and shot straight into the clouds, breaking through the sky before plunging back into the depths of the great swamp.

A solitary fox sat on a mountaintop, howling at the moon, with several tails fanned out behind it like a screen.

Its luminescent moon-white fur was dazzlingly beautiful to behold.

Peacocks soared, Saury Fish dived, some roaring, others fighting, some in fierce battles, some in flirtations…

For a moment, it seemed as though one had entered the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

An aura of the wild and untamed rushed at one’s face.

In the distance, beneath the waters of the swamp, with a splash, a huge Drake, green on top and white on the belly, leaped out of the water.

A long chant filled the air as it led six little Jiaolongs straight towards Su He.

“Father King has come!” Meng Xuan exclaimed joyfully.

This was the Dragon King of Yunmeng Ze.

Su He swiftly offered a long chant in response as he went to greet him.

The Jiaolong burst through the clouds and landed in their midst, transforming into a middle-aged man in the guise of a general, his glittering armor shining brilliantly.

He approached Su He, laughing heartily with the vigor of both a dragon and a tiger.

“With the noble visitation of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, Yunmeng Ze is graced with glory!”

As the Yunmeng Dragon King, who holds a status equivalent to that of the Sect Leaders of the Ten Major Immortal Doors, he personally led his younger kin to greet Su He.

The welcome wasn’t just for Su He, the young Dragon Turtle, but for the entire Dragon Turtle Tribe.

Su He’s attendance at the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was as a representative of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, and it was only fitting for the Dragon King to greet him personally.

If it had been a private visit or for leisure, Meng Xuan’s hospitality would have sufficed.

Welcoming a divine beast, it is more apt to have another divine beast to do so.

In the face of the Four Spirits, both the Yunmeng Dragon King and the Ten Major Immortal Doors felt a bit out of their depth.

If it were Gu Luo or Green Thunder visiting, not even the Dragon King would seem sufficient in status; such an occasion would require Princess Snow herself to come forward.

Yet facing a youngster like Gu Luo, his status seemed rather transcendent, which was troublesome.

Welcoming an ordinary divine beast was better—it was neither too much nor too little, just right.

“Dragon Turtle He, I’ve seen the Yunmeng Dragon King,” Su He nodded in greeting.

The Dragon King laughed heartily, “Several months ago, I witnessed the grandeur of the young friend’s tribulation from this place.

Today, seeing you in person, you’re indeed imposing!

The Dragon Turtle Tribe truly has a promising future.” He made an inviting gesture, intending to lead Su He back to Yunmeng Ze.

Just then, outside Yunmeng Ze, space tore open, and a flaming red Phoenix was kicked out through a Space Gate by a gigantic claw.

“Behave and attend the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice!” A crisp chirp came from behind the Space Gate, and the gigantic claw retracted, then with a click like a lock being fastened, the Space Gate closed.

The red Phoenix awkwardly shook its body and flapped its wings, its feathers fanning out like a peacock’s tail.

Flames roared around it, and it looked like a spirited rooster, surveying Yunmeng Ze from above.

Its gaze fell upon Su He, and suddenly brightened.

Golden Dragon Meng Xuan disdainfully flicked its whiskers and said to Su He, “That’s Old Nine of the Phoenix Clan!

An utter tsundere, but a good bird nonetheless!”

Su He immediately understood, it was them!

Feng Jiu!

Not even thirty thousand years old, from the same era as White Spirit.

The Phoenix Clan also came to participate in the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice?

Su He looked toward the Little Golden Dragon, who telepathically replied, “When the Four Spirits Dragon Clan hosts a great sacrifice, the Dragon Turtle Tribe has already confirmed participation, and the other two clans wouldn’t miss it either.

Mu Tong of the Qilin Clan arrived early, but I have no idea where he wandered off to now.”

All the young creatures of the Four Spirits Clans are gathering here?

This Dragon Divine God Sacrifice will surely be spectacular!

Feng Jiu swept its wings, emitting a Phoenix cry, and extended a winged salute to the Yunmeng Dragon King in the unique manner of the Phoenix Clan, “Phoenix Clan’s Feng Jiu, greetings to the Yunmeng Dragon King.”

The salute was proper, and the demeanor was humble yet proud.

The Yunmeng Dragon King returned the salute, laughing heartily.

He didn’t mention a word about Feng Jiu being kicked out.

Well, as the host, one must consider the guest’s dignity.

This Fire Phoenix cares a lot about face, especially so!

After performing the salute, the Fire Phoenix looked at Su He again, and the corner of the Phoenix’s beak curled up, “Yo!

Another young Dragon Turtle!”

These days across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the two biggest pieces of news have been related to this Dragon Turtle, who, having just successfully transcended, gained quite a presence and then, because of him, the Dragon Turtle Tribe took over the Soaring Snake lair.

Another restless one, just like White Spirit.

Su He blinked, sensing quite a bit of emotion in that tone!

This was an emotional reaction towards a Dragon Turtle!

The Divine God Beasts from White Spirit’s era had probably all been beaten by her, and this tone clearly indicated a harsh beating.

With an appearance of naïve honesty, Su He asked, “Do you happen to know my clanswoman?”

Feng Jiu suddenly let out a startled squawk, unable to maintain its tsundere expression, its face instantly becoming a portrait of splendid emotions while the flames on its body trembled frantically.

Meng Xuan slapped his tail and broke into sonorous laughter, unable to maintain its lofty posture, plummeted from the clouds and splashed into the Big Swamp.

It emerged laughing heartily again.

Feng Jiu cast a glance, but Meng Xuan remained unconcerned, his mane shaking as he flew, “What are you staring at?”

Are you afraid I’ll spill your embarrassing story?

That dumb Dragon of hers, though foolish, at least recognized its place.

After being beaten by White Spirit twice, it knew to take a detour.

But this Fire Phoenix was clueless, knowing full well that White Spirit had Opened Seven-fold Heavens and even its elders couldn’t defeat her, it stubbornly challenged her to duels year after year.

Repeated defeats led to repeated battles, and repeated battles led to repeated defeats.

Eventually, White Spirit got annoyed and tossed it into the Glazed Volcano to mine for two thousand years, saying that was its punishment.

The earnest creature burrowed into the Glazed Volcano and dutifully mined for two thousand years, only when pulled out by its ancestors did it learn that White Spirit had been dead for nineteen hundred years.

The entire bird was not well anymore.
