Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 259 - 259 11 Cultivation Chat Group_1

259: Chapter 11 Cultivation Chat Group_1 259: Chapter 11 Cultivation Chat Group_1 Above Yunmeng Ze, a Fish suddenly woke up, looking completely baffled.

After staring blankly around for a long while, he noticed a fat Yiyi struggling to wake up beside him.

“Dead?”

“Dead!”

“How did you die?”

“I transformed into a mouse.

As soon as I appeared, I ended up in the jaws of a wild wolf…” The fat Yiyi struggled a bit, wanting to tell the truth but afraid of being ridiculed, so it could only exaggerate a bit, blaming it on bad luck.

Well, it didn’t appear right in the wolf’s mouth, it was just too cold.

When it saw a cave, it just burrowed in, and there happened to be six or seven wild wolves inside, that’s all.

“How did you die?”

The Fish became instantly enraged!

Flapping its wings and grinding its teeth, it said, “I transformed into a warty toad, landed in a patch of Ze Water, and just as I was thinking of stepping on the broken ice to get ashore, to find a spot to hibernate for another two months, a lone wild goose stepped on me and killed me.”

Are you crazy?

You’re a herbivorous bird, why the hell would you step on me?

An opportunity that comes once every ten thousand years, just wasted like that!

Not living even a quarter of an hour, how the heck can you talk about any improvement in talent?!

…

…

On the branches by the shore, sparrows fluttered chaotically.

Su He felt a bit angry.

These wings were just too disobedient!

Flapping them just like the sparrows, they could fly but no matter what, he just couldn’t get off the ground, instead startling a group of little animals hibernating for the winter.

Take-off, flap, crash…

Su He repeated the process.

Unable to control water, nor to pierce the clouds and ascend to the Nine Heavens, he felt so unaccustomed.

Wild geese were supposed to be good at flying, he might just lower their average.

Shaking off a toad corpse from his foot, Su He continued to practice.

Spread wings, flap!

Flap again!

Then… charge!

Su He’s body suddenly shot forward, flapping his wings, and he fiercely plunged into the Ze Water, stepping on the floating ice debris.

Behind him, a grey wolf plopped into the water, struggling and then crawling back to shore.

The wild goose floated in the Ze Water, calling out loudly.

He was so engrossed in practicing that he instantly felt a crisis approaching from behind; that familiar breath and sense of danger were unmistakable.

It was a wolf!

This feeling of crisis was all too familiar.

Su He flapped his wings and swam far away before turning to look at the wolf on shore, shivering from the cold.

Looks like you’re the fool, huh?

I can swim!

Couldn’t fly using wings, but couldn’t swim using claws, either?

Did you think my time as a Turtle was spent in vain?

Wolves can swim too, but in this season, at this temperature, it’s freezing to death.

Su He hopped onto a piece of floating ice, cawing at the grey wolf for a while.

The grey wolf shook off the ice water, circled the water’s edge a few times, but since it couldn’t do anything to the goose on the ice, it tucked its tail and slinked away in shame.

Soaked to the bone, I wonder if it will survive the day.

That had nothing to do with Su He.

He flapped his wings again, intending to jump and try flying.

He leapt upward but was yanked down, as he looked down to find a pair of red feet, stuck to the floating ice.

The principle was probably similar to licking iron in winter?

But it was already February, with the Yang energy rising and the sun climbing in the east.

After being stuck for only a short while, Su He managed to pull his feet free and flapped back to shore.

He didn’t know what his current status was, whether it was pure consciousness that had taken form or if his consciousness had taken over the body of a lone wild goose.

But the most important thing right now was to survive—perhaps he could try dying?

If he died, perhaps his consciousness would return to its original body.

A tempting thought, but matters of life and death are significant.

It was a last resort decision, not to be attempted lightly.

Su He flapped his wings and ran along the shore, taking off.

With a leap, he flew three zhang before crashing back to the ground.

Good, this was progress compared to before.

Apparently, it’s easier to learn to fly against the wind!

Su He kept trying, and on the way, he even passed a mouse hole, spending half the day borrowing a pile of grains from the field mouse.

He ate his fill!

It had been a long time since he tasted the sweetness of vegetarian food.

When he was a Grass Turtle, he used to eat water hyacinth and such, but they were not as tasty as fish and shrimp, especially since this time he borrowed the grain without the field mice’s permission.

The dice fell, and he rolled a six for the first time in a while, the quality kind!

The taste was amazing, albeit it was just ordinary grain.

The grains were full-bodied, unlike wild ones.

With gliding wings, by the time Three Poles Time arrived, Su He could already soar in the sky.

After all, with a powerful consciousness, even though it was the first time in a goose body, it took merely two hours to become familiar with the body, learn to fly and even spare time for a meal.

It wasn’t too difficult a task.

Several houses and fields were visible about four or five li away.

People, indeed!

Su He kept a safe distance from the village, flying westward in a deserted area.

…

The toad cocked its head, looking at the Dragon Turtle behind.

“You still online?” After a long moment, the toad recalled this term.

The Dragon Turtle’s eyes remained tightly shut without a response.

If consciousness isn’t there, then what devilry are you up to, and why is there a glow rising from you?

Are you level-grinding AFK?

The toad leaped into Su He’s body and saw the Eternal Trigram going crazy, pouring source energy into the Boundary Pearl as if money meant nothing.

Could this be losing control and going into a cultivation-deviation?

The toad leaped out of Su He’s body and looked around, noticing Ji Feixue standing beneath the Dragon Gate.

This one was a top-tier powerhouse; she must know the reason and could solve the problem.

With a flash, it landed beside Ji Feixue and opened its mouth to inform her about Su He’s condition.

But Ji Feixue raised a finger to her lips.

“Shush,” she whispered, “there’s no need to worry about the Dragon Turtle’s cultivation, it’s all right.”

A Greater Power truly is formidable; before even speaking up, she already knew everything.

Ji Feixue looked at the toad: “Friend Luo, the Dragon Turtle you promised has arrived; it’s time for my Profound Realm to take you in as agreed.”

The toad was startled.

It knew the original reason for asking Su He to partake in the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was because the person in front of it promised to let Su He enter her Profound Realm, a newly forming Profound Realm, better suited for studying the reality of the world.

But at this moment, Su He’s cultivation foundation was established, and he’d even condensed the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact, only lacking accumulation.

Given enough accumulation, he could break into the First Heaven at any moment.

A new Profound Realm was not needed anymore.

Just as the toad was about to decline politely, a fiery red fox emerged from next to Ji Feixue.

It looked like an ordinary red fox, but inexplicably conveyed a sense of elegance and pride.

Being the master of a Soul Beast class, and with Ji Feixue’s unmatched beauty in the Mortal World, this fox was extremely gorgeous as well.

To create a Profound Realm, this fox had to be at least a Ninth Grade Soul Beast.

The toad couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

The red fox stepped forward, its eyes gleaming with mischief, stretching out its paw as if to pat the toad on the head.

The toad bowed slightly, cooperating.

Then, with a press of the fox’s paw on its head, the toad was pressed down hard, face-planted into the ground and vanished.

It jumped up, cursing loudly, but the surroundings had already changed dramatically.

This was a lake, with many islets scattered throughout, forming web-like rivers through the lake.

This was the Profound Realm, Ji Feixue’s Profound Realm; what was its name again…?

“Qianjiang?” the toad muttered in confusion.

But as the words came out, they made no sound, nor did they resemble the roars of beasts in the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, instead appearing as floating text in the lower left of its vision.

Just like Su He’s Bright Mirror Divine Power, or—as seen in Su He’s memory—like the chat window of an online game.

Dialogues kept bouncing in the chat window.

Canchen Taoist: “Fellow cultivators, has anyone been to Fairy Ji’s Dragon Divine God Sacrifice?”

Qian Qianzi: “Senior Canchen, I’m here, but I arrived late after the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice had already started.

There was a big battle in the Flowing Light River I took, delaying my entry into the Mystery Huang World.

Do you need me to do something, Senior?”

Green Flower: “Qianjiang?”

Green Flower’s question appeared as text in the chat window.

Canchen Taoist: “Qian Qianzi, help me ask Fairy Ji whether the Protective Golden Lotus is up for auction after the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

Can you reserve two blossoms for me if it is?

They don’t need to be too big, half a zhang in size is enough.”

He needed the Protective Golden Lotus for an experiment he was conducting.

Qian Qianzi: “Certainly, Senior Canchen.

But I’m not sure where Sister Ji has gone.

She was just before the Dragon Gate earlier, and now she can’t be found.

Just now, there was a rather ugly toad looking for her, not sure what for.”

Green Flower: “…”

Are you being polite?

Who’s the ugly toad?

I’m a Void Frog!

And if we’re talking about appearance, I’m more akin to a tree frog.

How many cultivators have skin like mine?

Qian Qianzi: “Eh?

A new friend?

Your name is certainly unique, but I’ve never heard of it before.

Where do you cultivate, friend?

Why not come to Central Island, it’d be convenient for discourse.”

Only Sister Ji can admit people into Qianjiang.

Those taken into Qianjiang are trusted.

In the long journey of cultivation, gaining a new cultivator friend is indeed a blessing in life.

Before anyone could send out a welcoming message, the toad had already spoken in the chat window.

Green Flower: “Fairy, you need not mind me; I’m just an ugly toad.”

Qian Qianzi: …

Now this was awkward; she didn’t even know how to respond anymore!

Chi Mu: “…”

Junlan: “…”

True Person Nanming: “…”

…

A row of ellipses in the chat area.

Qian Qianzi: “My apologies, friend, for my thoughtless words.

Are you still at the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice?

I’ll come to you in person to apologize.”

Harming a cultivator friend’s impression of her before they even met was not good!

She should prepare some gifts for the apology.

If the friend was truly a toad…

Do toads eat honeybees?

She kept a hive of six-star Mystery Bees, would it be sincere to offer them as an apology?

Green Flower: “No need, I am already in Qianjiang…

What kind of rule is this?

Why is my real name being displayed?”

Qian Qianzi: “Huh?

A Soul Beast?”

Only Soul Beasts could physically enter the Profound Realm.

She was too far away earlier and only had a quick glimpse; she didn’t look carefully.

That toad turned out to be a Soul Beast?

Qian Qianzi: “Green Flower, who is your master, and why aren’t you speaking?”

Green Flower: “…”

After a moment of speechlessness, it continued, “Don’t call me Green Flower!!!

My master is Dragon Turtle He; right now, he is transforming and can’t come in.”

Kusong Taoist: “!!!”

Junlan: “!!!”

Zhanxiu: “!!!”

Canchen Taoist: “The Dragon Turtle?

The Divine God Beast?

Dragon Turtle He…

is it the one that just went through tribulation?”

Never mind if it was the Dragon Turtle or not, this bunch sure used punctuation marks smoothly—not that they were using these marks, but after expressing similar emotions, the Profound Realm automatically generated such symbols in the chat window.

A Profound Realm that crossed over?

Impossible!

Is this what is called emotional resonance?

It’s often a fascinating phenomenon when development occurs—synchronicity!

In two completely irrelevant regions, different people invent similar things almost simultaneously.

Cultivation Techniques, weapons, utensils…

That’s generally the case!

The toad hopped up and looked toward the center of Qianjiang, where a large island was situated.

Cultivators were gathered in small groups, seemingly in casual conversation.

Now, they were all looking in its direction.

The words they were discussing weren’t appearing in the chat section but formed speech bubbles above their heads with jumping text inside.

Area chat, face-to-face light chatter…

Indeed, thought processes are interlinked!

Su He should have been brought in right away!

He’s an expert with this way of chatting!
