Don’t Mess with that Turtle

262: Chapter 14 Writing Opens The Heaven (Part 1)_1 262: Chapter 14 Writing Opens The Heaven (Part 1)_1 (It is suggested to wait for the next chapter before proceeding, as this one ends on a cliffhanger.)

A lone wild goose stretches its neck, pulls in its feet, and flaps its wings vibrantly, piercing through the sky directly westward.

Panic flickers in its eyes.

Gone…

After plotting to kill Bifang, it flies nonstop towards Yunmeng Ze for five days.

The memories of twenty-three years from its past life are all gone!

It knows it has a past life, it has a past, but it can’t remember anything at all.

Knowing about the past life is merely due to these few days of constant self-reminders, like knowing a text by heart, but unable to recall the scene of originally memorizing it.

It knows, and that is all!

Next, the memories from Turtle Life will begin to fade, and in at most four days, it will not remember anything.

Su He is at a loss, flying desperately towards Yunmeng Ze and continuously reminding himself of his destination, hoping that once his memory fades completely, he will still remember where to fly.

A very unpleasant premonition rises, he has tried countless times to contact the Toad, but to no avail.

He can’t even enter the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm.

It’s hard not to suspect that he is being targeted deliberately.

He also attempts to find other Consciousness into Beast Divine God Beasts.

The consciousness of other Divine God Beasts would return after their deaths, and as long as the message is brought back, the Dragon clan would not sit idly by.

But…

A thought keeps circling in Su He’s mind, about the Pill Medicine Ji Feixue fed him a month ago.

Yet Ji Feixue has no reason to harm him.

Before the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice, they did not even know each other!

The relationship between the Dragon Turtle Tribe and her was not only without grievances but actually quite good.

Su He pushes himself to fly back.

…

Above Yunmeng Ze, one after another, the beast-awakened return to consciousness.

Even half the Human Cultivators have already died and returned.

It was a different case with the other Divine God Beasts.

Most of them had transformed from ordinary beasts after Crossing the Heavenly Catastrophe, so they had a past as regular animals.

Only the Human Cultivators, newly transitioned into beast bodies, find it difficult to adapt, and many have perished within the first three days.

At this moment, quite a few people are gathered around the water surface, observing the Dragon Turtle.

Yet, with the Protective Golden Lotus barring them and the multiple arrays set by Ji Feixue, their vision cannot penetrate; they can only sense that the Dragon Turtle Majesty grows mightier by the day.

“Is it so slow?” someone whispers, “Uncle achieved Stepping Sky much faster, didn’t he?

This Dragon Turtle has been emitting the aura of Opening The Heaven for at least ten days now, hasn’t it?

Is it still not over?”

Zheng glances at him with a sidelong look.

Ignorant!

This hasn’t even started yet!

This is just the beginning of releasing the aura of Opening The Heaven.

The actual process requires several months of preparation at the least.

The Dragon Turtle must first fine-tune its body to perfection, and the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact must also be enhanced to its extreme.

Some Divine God Beasts even take decades to complete this process before Opening The Heaven in one fell swoop.

Moreover, Opening The Heaven is not the same as undergoing Heavenly Tribulation; it’s not as swift.

Transforming every tiny bit of Chaos into an Inner World is a painstaking task.

Most Divine God Beasts do it slowly under the protection of their elders.

The Dragon Turtle choosing to Open The Heaven at Yunmeng Ze was hasty.

Moreover, the absence of any elders from the Dragon Turtle Tribe up until now is abnormal!

Zheng returned early since his Consciousness into Beast form was a worm, and not deeply buried underground but exposed on the surface.

A mere worm cannot break through the Eastern soil, and it died from exposure and returned within less than half an hour.

It was just a quarter-hour behind the Fish.

Ever since the Dragon Turtle began to emit the aura of Opening The Heaven, Zheng had been watching.

The Opening of The Heaven by a Divine God Beast is a chance encounter—an opportunity that can be met but not sought.

Cultivators guarding in all four directions during the Dragon Turtle Opens the Sky can receive blessings from the heavens and the earth.

Perhaps because the Dragon Turtle, after Opening The Heaven, can refine Chaos and aid the growth of the world, the heavens and the earth feel excited.

So…

spreading wealth?

Days pass, one by one.

On a lake situated between East Cloud Mountain and Xuan Tian Gate, a wild goose sounds a discontented honk and its eyes become muddled with confusion.

Who knows how much time has passed, a row of wild geese calls out as they fly north across the sky.

On the lake’s surface, the wild goose lifts its head slowly, beats its wings in the water, and takes flight, seeking to join the flock of geese.

It gets halfway there but then unconsciously changes course towards the west; it doesn’t understand why, but it feels it should fly west.

Home is there!

The solitary goose journeys westward, regardless of time.

It lands at lakes and marshes, grazes on water plants, and occasionally feeds on snails and crabs.

A Hillburn catches a clam with fleshy, succulent meat.

Without knowing why, the wild goose snatches the clam away.

Stunned, the Hillburn squawks in protest but dares not retrieve it, instead flapping off to hunt elsewhere.

The wild goose cackles with delight, but then, horrified, it discovers a golden glistening stone falls from the sky and lands on the clam.

It spins around.

Quality ×4.

Startled, the goose considers fleeing but can’t bear to abandon it, as even the ordinary clam begins to radiate light and exude a tantalizing aroma.

It becomes ever more tempting.

The Hillburn, as if driven by madness, rushes back attempting to claim the clam, only to see the wild goose peck once and swallow the whole clam in one go.

Immediately, the Hillburn starts screaming, extending its long bill, pecking towards the wild goose, which flaps its wings and heads off westward.

The Hillburn jumps and curses fiercely, squawking noisily, hopping up and down unstably, rolling over twice.

But there’s nothing it can do, watching the thief just fly away.

A goose eating a clam—not worried about choking, are you?

But choking is impossible because anything enhanced in quality by the dice is perfectly suited for him, allowing for one hundred percent absorption.

The wild goose continues its westward journey, through the change of seasons, into June.

Far in the west, mountain ridges come into view, and at the wild goose’s pace, it will reach that region in about a month.

For some reason, it feels both drawn to and repelled by those mountains…

The Wild Goose detoured to the southwest.

It was not the mountain that it feared but rather, there was something fighting ahead—a giant snake was confronting a group of people in the sky.

The snake was clearly no ordinary serpent, as it actually had wings on its back, with clouds and mist shrouding its surroundings.

Opposite it were a group of humans—humans could fly, the Wild Goose knew this well.

In recent months, it had encountered people flying in the sky on swords, faster even than itself!

The leader had several Immortal Swords flying out from a sword box by his side, along with banners swirling around him to form a formation, and a Big Seal for protection.

Behind him was an abundant array of helpers, traveling by sword in a large formation, as well as eight extremely tall Stone Statues, resisting the giant snake alongside him.

The Wild Goose took a wide berth around them, flying southwest without daring to come within half a distance of the battlefield.

Fortunately, they were merely in a standoff—if they were fighting, even the scattered aftermath of their power would be enough to destroy the region for a hundred miles around.

As the Wild Goose flew around, it heard the leader speak in a gentle and persuasive tone, “Yuan Daoist, why resist?

This matter is mutually beneficial; if we part, both sides lose.

Joining forces with Qingyuan would greatly benefit you!”

The giant snake hissed in dissatisfaction, “My name is Moon Elder!” It roared before continuing, “Don’t think I don’t know, Qingyuan is where the Dragon Turtle originated from!

Moreover, if you from Feng Yi Ju truly wished for an alliance…” It glanced at the figures behind Feng Yi Ju.

“Would you bring such disciples along?”

A lack of discretion in weighty matters will invite chaos!

Feng Yi Ju chuckled lightly, “Rest assured, Moon Elder.

I have only brought them along to show you my strength, so you may be three parts calmer.

These eight Great Maitreya King Demon Statues are self-explanatory, having already lost their consciousness.

And the disciples behind me are all loyal.”

The Soaring Snake sneered.

In this world, there was nothing less reliable than loyalty!

Could the loyalty of disciples compare to that of kin?

When the Dragon Turtle attacked, didn’t over half of the Soaring Snake Clan, loyal for tens of thousands of years, abandon the Soaring Snake?

It had been pursing these kin for months; if it couldn’t kill the Dragon Turtle, couldn’t it kill its own traitors?

Feng Yi Ju shook his head and smiled, extending an Immortal Sword forward, its tip adorned with an insect flapping its wings.

“An Echo insect?” The focus in the Soaring Snake’s eyes sharpened.

If Lu Ming were still alive, he would certainly recognize this insect; it was the very one he used to communicate with his loyal retainers in Prison and subtly influence and control them.

…

The Wild Goose flew faster and faster.

After detouring to the southwest and flying for half a month, it tilted its head to look even further westward, feeling that something had happened there that made its heart race with trepidation.

The small brain of the Wild Goose couldn’t understand.

Was that its destination, its home perhaps?

Could it be that something had happened to its flock?

Struck by lightning during a stormy flight?

Thunderstorms were common this season.

…

Crack!

A thunderclap resounded over Yunmeng Ze, with Symbols scattering across the sky above.

The area of the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was forbidding anyone to approach, and any conscious Divine God Beasts returning were immediately diverted by the Symbols.

Upon the Golden Lotus where the Dragon Turtle resided, its aura was majestic.

Thunder rumbled overhead, with lightning striking upon the Dragon Turtle’s body.

But it was not Heavenly Tribulation, and it was not meant to harm the Turtle.

Each bolt of lightning contained the power of the Origin World, as heaven and earth were replenishing energy for the Divine God Beast about to Open the Heaven.

Those Divine God Beasts that could open heaven were truly the favored ones in the eyes of the cosmos.

A group of Divine God Beasts looked on from a distance.

Protectors surveyed from all around; the Little Dragon Turtle was about to Open the Sky, yet there were still no Dragon Turtle elders arriving to protect.

However, the Princess of Yunmeng Ze and the Azure Dragon Predecessors from Xuan Tian Gate were close by.

The area was now an isolated space, and even if the Dragon Turtle elders wished to Break Air and come, they could not do so anymore.

Boom!

A clap of thunder, but it did not come from the lightning in the sky, rather it emanated from within the Dragon Turtle’s body.

This was the sound of Opening The Heaven, after brewing for five months, the Dragon Turtle was finally about to open the sky!

Ji Feixue was not present at the scene; she was in her own home garden, with a Toad fixed mid-air.

The belly of the Toad, like a screen, displayed the scene within Su He’s Boundary Pearl.

A Dragon Turtle Opens the Sky—its very consciousness expelled from its body—Ji Feixue certainly couldn’t stay there, as it would have an impact.

Within the Boundary Pearl, Tai’a Mountain stood imposing and lofty, with the Witch on the summit facing the immovable Chaos around him.

He held a brush in his hand, yet there was no ink.

The whistling wind tousled the Witch’s robes.

After an indeterminable time, he leapt into the Chaos, wielding the brush like a knife.

A single stroke of Yang line “—” was drawn, a mere straight line, neither strong nor sharp-edged.

Yet, it was like cold water poured into hot oil; the entire Chaos began to boil and swirl.

The Witch continued without hesitation, drawing the Yin line “–” behind him amidst the Chaos.

The entire Chaos erupted violently.

The two lines of Yin and Yang were the foundation of the Eight Trigrams.

With these two, one could create the Eight Trigrams, and from them, derive the Sixty-Four Trigrams.

If Chaos was one, then the Yin and Yang lines represented the phase where ‘from Dao came one, and from one came two.’

The way divided into Yin and Yang!

Chaos boiled and burst open.

Centered around the lines of Yin and Yang, two spaces ruptured and expanded rapidly, merging together.

The Yang line turned into the sun and the Yin line into the moon, both suspended high in the sky, tearing open a space.

Yet, the Witch did not stop.

Standing with his left foot on the sun and his right foot on the moon, using the brush as a blade, he drew the Heaven Trigram rising to the sky and the Earth Trigram penetrating the ground.

He drew the Li Trigram for fire to rise and the Kan Trigram for water to approach.

As water and fire merged and struck the Chaos, a chunk of it broke off, refined by water and fire, and the Inner World began to vastly expand.

The Zhen Trigram brought rolling Heavenly Thunder, with each bolt striking the Chaos.

The Xun Trigram brought wind, with wind of five colors entering the Chaos, opening heaven and earth…
