Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 256 - 256 9 Xuan Tian Sect Leader Feng Yi Ju Can I Defeat You_1

256: Chapter 9 Xuan Tian Sect Leader: Feng Yi Ju, Can I Defeat You?_1 256: Chapter 9 Xuan Tian Sect Leader: Feng Yi Ju, Can I Defeat You?_1 “Qing!

Are you heading to the arena to fight?” a Golden Dragon crashed into Chenfeng Mountain, shouting at Qing.

Fighting arenas are always a highlight for cultivators.

Whenever a group of Divine God Beasts and cultivators gather, there seems to be something missing without setting up an arena.

Qing opened his eyes and shook his head.

He had no interest in the arena.

Could fighting in the arena be more advanced than the Small Dui Gua?

After staying on Chenfeng Mountain for more than ten days, the witch’s pen in the Boundary Pearl had finally taken shape.

The Chaos on the top of Tai’a Mountain was swirling and condensing, seemingly sensing that something was about to happen, becoming more and more concentrated.

From time to time, the witch looked up at the Chaos, eager to try.

But his power was still weak, and he certainly didn’t have the ability to Open The Heaven.

Qing didn’t know what kind of Pill Medicine Ji Feixue had given him, but the next day the speed with which Eternal Trigram released the Origin World suddenly accelerated, so fast that it frightened him.

He didn’t stop for a moment, helping the Origin of Tai’a Mountain to refine.

With his cultivation, the power of the witch was growing step by step.

As for now, Qing had no interest in external matters, immersed in cultivation beyond help!

Meng Xuan snorted and uttered a dismissive noise, then asked Qing again, “Then, do you want to place a bet?

The arena is taking bets!

I’ll run the table, and I guarantee you’ll win!”

Qing shook his head, “My family doesn’t like me gambling.”

Meng Xuan looked at him with even more disdain.

Don’t think I didn’t see that huge dice of yours!

You’ve turned the Mountain Divine God Seal into dice, and you say you don’t like gambling, are you deceiving Dragons!

Not generous at all, she hmphed and leaped into the air, flying straight down from Chenfeng Mountain toward the Yunmeng Ze arena.

Qing thought for a moment and called out in his heart.

The Toad appeared in a flash, covered in beast blood, holding a large blade, looking at Qing with a murderous gaze.

“What’s the matter?” This Turtle is annoying.

In the midst of a fierce war, it had been called here.

By the timeline, the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice hadn’t begun yet.

Wasn’t it too early for the greetings?

“How is Ya Ya?” Qing asked.

“Her consciousness has entered the beast body, but the memory has not been sealed yet.

The mother ape is fighting with Su Huanian for her daughter.

Is that what you want to ask about?”

Couldn’t this matter be asked mentally?

Why summon it here?

“Dragon Divine God Sacrifice has set up an arena.

Take some Spirit stone crystals, and as long as Meng Xuan joins the fight, no matter who the opponent is, bet on her victory.”

Money isn’t important, maintaining relationships is.

Spending a little money to support them, and thus strengthening the relationship is a transaction more cost-effective than anything else.

“Also, that Little Ferocious one and that Heng Gong Fish, if they join the fight, support them as well.”

Toad: “???”

I abandon the great affairs of the state to help you gamble?

“What about you?”

“Cultivation!”

This reason was too strong, and the Toad had nothing to retort; it bounced down from Chenfeng Mountain angrily, looking for Meng Xuan to gather intelligence on the recent events at Yunmeng Ze.

Although it had been in occasional contact with Qing these days, it wasn’t very familiar with the current situation.

It only knew that Qing had a fight and won.

It said nothing more.

With a sigh, it walked on.

The Beast Country needed it, and now that it had left, it didn’t know when it could return.

If it returned to find Feng Yaya had transformed, and the Green Snake had usurped its position, it might not even have a chance to speak.

The position of Chief of Staff is gone…

The Toad felt a profound sense of loss.

Qing closed his eyes once more, his consciousness sinking into the Boundary Pearl.

He used his consciousness to drive the Little Sixty-Four Hexagrams to revolve around Tai’a Mountain.

The speed at which the Eternal Trigram revealed the Origin World was too fast— relying solely on the Little Sixty-Four Hexagrams to absorb it was inefficient.

Days passed, and the temperature around Yunmeng Ze began to warm up.

The arena operated smoothly, not affected by Qing’s absence.

Although he was often mentioned, no one who lacked tact came forth to provoke him—for those who climbed Chenfeng Mountain knew too well the strength of the second region’s Dui Gua Water Element.

There weren’t many who were truly brainless.

Meng Xuan advanced triumphantly, and she along with Feng Jiu became the favorite contenders.

Initially, with the Four Spirits gathering, the arena was expected to be even more compelling, but the Dragon Turtle Qing secluded himself for cultivation, Qilin Muhui was reclusive, barely leaving his dwelling and definitely not taking part in the arena.

Only when everyone was focused on the arena and nobody paid attention to him would he stealthily use Divine Skills to peep at the arena and then compare it with his own predicted wins and losses.

Even though he didn’t physically place any bets, he was betting in his heart.

Whenever a participant he believed would win succeeded, he rolled around in joy.

Otherwise, he would sulk alone in his dwelling.

These days, Toad was running business smartly, and it was no way going back—it really started having fun in Yunmeng Ze: gambling, bazaars, auctions, it was seen everywhere.

It had acquired a large amount of goods for their Beast Country and even signed supply contracts with several sects to regularly purchase weapons and spirit rice.

To afford these expenses, it even set up a small stall selling tobacco, which was surprisingly prosperous—Qing’s money was Qing’s, the Beast Country’s was the Beast Country’s; it distinguished them clearly.

As the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice drew closer, the battles in the arena grew more intense.

Meng Xuan and Feng Jiu finally clashed.

At this moment, the dragon and the phoenix had already shattered the arena beneath them.

Feng Jiu looked at Dragon Xuan, spat out a mouthful of blood which ignited into a raging fire upon hitting the ground.

The Phoenix’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit but also with astonishment.

Have the youngsters of today stopped making sense?

You, a 6,000-year-old Golden Dragon, beating me until I bleed, that’s too much.

Of course, there was an even less reasonable one who hadn’t joined the arena.

Feng Jiu glanced toward Chenfeng Mountain.

Bifang and Zhu Yan had suffered far more severe injuries.

Although ordinary Divine God Beasts naturally couldn’t compare with the Four Spirits, fighting a Divine God Beast of the Second Heavenly Divine Level just half a year after Crossing the Heavenly Catastrophe, that’s utterly shameless.

Dragon Xuan shook his body, shaking off the broken Dragon Scales all over the ground, but seemingly feeling no pain at all.

Instead, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he nonchalantly said, “Why are you looking at Turtle Kid?

Do you want to fight him too?”

“Ptui!” Feng Jiu spat out a flame, don’t equate her to the likes of Bifang and Zhu Yan!

Divine God Beasts fight either with their peers or within the same Boundary Status.

She fought White Spirit as a peer, and fighting Meng Xuan was within the same Boundary Status.

Bullying a Turtle that had just passed its Heavenly Tribulation, what kind of bird act was that?

A dragon and a phoenix looked down on each other with disdain before colliding in an instant.

With the cry of the phoenix and the chant of the dragon, the two creatures tacitly refrained from using divine skills, engaging in pure physical combat.

From a distance, the toad hid and shouted with all its might, “Take her down!

Bite her!

Whip her!”

Each time it yelled, a radish-shaped soul beast beside it echoed, “Frog Lord is right!” This was Meng Xuan’s soul beast.

Not far from them, a lightning-shaped soul beast sparked with electric sparks, grinding its teeth in frustration.

But due to the disparity in numbers, it didn’t dare to approach and could only mutter quietly, “Right my foot!”

…

Exhale…

Inhale…

With each breath, Su He drew vast amounts of yuan qi into his nostrils.

He had acquired a Breathing Technique from the Heritage Sea.

Although it was just the Dragon Turtle Breathing Technique and didn’t yet include the Spirit Snake, having it was better than nothing at all.

It was somewhat wasteful of time to only operate the Boundary Pearl’s small hexagrams.

Better to activate the Cultivation Technique and cultivate the physical body as well.

As days passed, it was unknown when the Yunmeng Ze was covered with lotuses of various sizes—some as large as two to three miles per petal, some no bigger than a fist.

Each lotus exuded strands of dazzling light.

Su He was awoken by the shouting of the toad.

When he woke up, it was the twenty-ninth of the month.

In just two more days, the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice would take place.

It wouldn’t be proper not to wake up by then.

Inside the Boundary Pearl, the witch and the pen had completely solidified.

The witch could wield the pen to perform Opening The Heaven.

But it hadn’t reached its limit yet—far from it.

Hurrying the Opening The Heaven wasn’t an option; one had to wait until the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact reached its pinnacle and was incapable of refining the Origin World any further.

After waking up, Su He went to visit Ji Feixue and the various seniors of the Dragon clan, and received a heap of meeting gifts.

The Four Spirits had always maintained good relations, and the Dragon Turtle Tribe had an even better relationship with the Dragon clan.

When Meng Xuan hatched, she received gifts from the Dragon Turtles as well.

That was the way of reciprocal gift-giving.

Yunmeng Ze became increasingly lively; divine birds soared in the sky, Drakes roamed around, Dragon Turtles hid within the Ze Water, and divine toads made leaping steps.

The toad thrived among the many divine beasts.

It introduced Su He to one divine beast after another, packing his schedule tight for two days, even introducing him to Sect Leaders and Elders from various Sects.

Only on the night of the first day of the second moon did the social activities come to an end.

After that, the toad dropped him and ran off somewhere unknown.

In the dead of night, Meng Xuan wasn’t around.

With the Dragon clan’s major event and various guests in attendance, many matters required her to be present.

The waters of Yunmeng Ze rippled, and Su He enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.

It was then that a ghostly figure approached, a middle-aged man in a grey robe covered with various types of paint, like a painter who made a living selling his art in the Mortal Realm.

It wasn’t until he got closer that Su He noticed him.

This man’s Tao Cultivation was extraordinarily high, and this was because he intentionally let Su He detect him; otherwise, Su He would have had difficulty sensing him even at close range.

“Young Friend has been quite busy!” Approaching, he cupped his hands towards Su He, his face expressing lamentation: “I am Yin Yuan of Xuan Tian Gate, and I’ve long wanted to visit Young Friend Su He.

But your soul beast charges such a high fee for introductions that I couldn’t afford it, given my meager purse.

I had no choice but to wait until you had met with everyone and then come to visit you stealthily.”

“???”

“!!!”

“Green Flower!” Su He shouted in his mind.

No wonder, for two entire days, he was introduced to one divine beast or Sect leader after another, with the toad not even sparing him a quarter of an hour’s rest, resulting in meetings with over a hundred divine beasts and Sect authorities.

Any Sect that was invited to join the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was a top-tier Sect.

Qingyuan Gate, despite unifying East Cloud, did not even qualify to observe the ceremony.

As he expected, the toad seemed to have anticipated his anger.

Su He could sense the toad frantically fleeing, getting further and further away.

In the depths of Yunmeng Ze, the toad counted its profits, elated with the sizable earnings.

This haul meant it might even secure the position of Chief of Staff for the Treasury, and perhaps it could persuade Ya Ya to leave her little world and play in the Mystery Huang World.

With an Exotic Beast and a toad, what’s the harm in acting like a legitimate founding Empress?

What’s the fun in just fighting with exotic beasts?

Why not establish an empire!

In the past few days, the toad had made inquiries and learned that the Dragon clan had once done just such a thing.

There’s even one Origin World with a Dragon imperial court, where the Dragon is revered as supreme.

The Emperor even refers to himself as a True Dragon!

If the Dragons can do it, why not the Dragon Turtles?

They’re certainly not lacking in heritage!

Su He took a deep breath and turned his attention back to the approaching middle-aged man.

Yin Yuan of Xuan Tian Gate, this man was the Xuan Tian Sect Master!

In fact, he and the turtle had met once before, outside the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, where the Xuan Tian Sect Leader had intervened.

But Su He had only seen a divine figure pulling down a piece of the sky and had never seen the person’s face.

Today was his first glimpse of the man behind the power.

This was a humanoid divine beast!

To be able to suppress even the aftermath of a battle between Dragon Turtles and Soaring Snakes spoke volumes of his Tao Cultivation.

Su He took out the Bai Ze List in front of him.

Before he could look, the Xuan Tian Sect Leader shrugged and said, “Ranked three hundred and forty-first.

But I think Bai Ze must have made a mistake.

I’ve fought with those ranked in the early three hundreds, and I believe my ranking should at least be in the top three hundred.”

He then became indignant, “That old woman from Tian Xing Palace actually ranked two hundred and ninety!

If she’s over two hundred, it’s outrageous for me to be outside of the top three hundred!

It shows Bai Ze is blind!”

Is this some sort of humble brag?

Su He quietly put away the Bai Ze List.

Well, other than him, the lowest ranked from the Dragon Turtle Tribe was Uncle Lei at only eightieth.

Just shy of the ninety-ninth rank, thinking about it, he had no reason to fear Xuan Tian Gate.

The Sect Leader’s ranking wasn’t even as high as his own last place.

The higher the ranking on the battle list, the greater the prestige.

A single rank could mean a world of difference.

In the top hundred on the battle list, divine beasts occupy half the spots.

All mature adults from the Four Spirits are within the top hundred…

well, not all.

Two from the Dragon clan fell short, ranking one hundred and seven.

We, the Dragon Turtles, are invincible!

He looked at the Xuan Tian Sect Leader, wondering what this person had come so close for.

After finishing his rant, Yin Yuan rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat sheepish as he asked Su He, “By the way, can I challenge the Feng Yi Ju?”
