Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 266 - 266 17 White Tiger_2

266: Chapter 17 White Tiger_2 266: Chapter 17 White Tiger_2 The jade pendant, having been empowered by the dice, had its attributes tripled.

It was a key; a token that required a pair of lovers, each holding half, to enter the cavern.

Su He had no idea where this cavern was, but unexpectedly found it here.

Lu Ming and Qiao Ling could certainly run, as with their Transcendence Step Six: Spirit Awakening Realm’s Tao cultivation, flying here on a sword, with intermittent breaks, would still take at least three or four months.

Su He looked around in all four directions but didn’t find any sign of the cavern.

Instead, he noticed a peculiar scene in the bamboo forest.

A few pandas were rolling about comfortably in the bamboo, and two of them beside Su He were biting and fighting each other, one even having a chunk of its ear bitten off.

Although weak, it was very aggressive.

Su He only glanced at it, and the earless panda roared and charged at him, swiping a paw towards Su He.

Su He, in fury, exclaimed, “Your grandpa!”

It bites you, and what does that have to do with me?

You’re a vegetarian, what are you doing catching birds for?

Su He flapped his wings, hurriedly flying up.

But the panda stood on its hind legs and grabbed him with both paws, dragging him down.

The panda stepped on half of the wild goose body and tore it apart with one pull, and with a screech, the wild goose was no more.

It was a fatal blow, and quite ruthless at that!

Su He prepared himself for rebirth, ready to soar to the Nine Heavens as soon as the wild goose reformed.

But then…

No new wild goose formed; all consciousness returned to the main body.

The Opening The Heaven ended, and his Consciousness into Beast no longer had the privilege of rebirth.

Above Yunmeng Ze, Su He opened his eyes, stunned for a while, then sighed.

Su Huanian owed him a life!

His eyes slowly closed, and his consciousness completely sank into the Inner World.

At the inception of the world, it was still tender and young.

Though the Inner World was now vast, it was fragile, with any outsider capable of becoming superhuman within it, moving mountains and filling seas with ease.

Dragon Turtle Power originated from three sources, first is the Sea of Consciousness controlling the Power of the Divine Gods, second, the True Blood in the Mind Orifice controlling the physical strength, and third, the Boundary Pearl in the Dantian controlling the Power of the World.

And the Turtle Element that is usually consumed is actually a product of comprehensive condensation.

It gathers in the Boundary Pearl but is not condensed solely by the Boundary Pearl.

If we were to make an analogy, the Divine God Soul is like fire, the flesh body is like a kettle, and the Boundary Pearl is the lid.

Only when the fire burns and the kettle boils will steam condense into water droplets on the lid.

Without the fire and kettle below, the lid itself cannot produce distilled water.

At this moment, Turtle Element churned throughout Su He’s body, cycling through his meridians.

With each completed circuit, the True Yuan passed through the Boundary Pearl, enriching it with the Power of the World.

Su He was now reinforcing his Boundary Status to both fortify his Inner World and imbue his True Yuan and flesh body with the Power of the World.

Strengthening the Inner World was a long and tedious task that couldn’t be completed in a short time.

Especially since the Origin embodied in the Eternal Trigram was almost exhausted.

Now, strengthening the Inner World would mostly rely on Dragon Turtle breathing, drawing in external Spiritual Power.

As consciousness had returned, Su He completely immersed himself in spiritual practice.

Time passed day by day, with summer making way for autumn.

Almost a year since the Dragon Turtle Transcendence, for the first time, he experienced the perception of time that comes with longevity.

Truly, in the blink of an eye, the world had changed.

When he first came to Yunmeng Ze, snow filled the sky.

But after a few blinks, he had experienced the spirits of winter, spring, summer, and autumn, and the leaves outside had turned yellow with decay.

A year passed, the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm was as quiet as ever, and the Dragon Turtle had yet to hatch.

However, all Divine Beasts that had participated in the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice had returned.

The grand aspirations of the adult Zheng were not realized; not a single Divine God Beast managed to transform within two years.

When the bell rang within the Dragon Gate, the consciousness of all Sacred Beasts returned.

Beastly roars rose and fell over Yunmeng Ze.

Various beasts opened their eyes, some sighed, some were relieved, others were indifferent.

Zheng walked across the water to land on the Golden Lotus beside Su He and growled at him, “Wanna fight in the Dragon Gate later?

Fighting is not forbidden there.”

The Dragon Turtle from Opening The Heaven is the real opponent, allowing a fair fight.

There were three stages in the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

First was the Sacrifice, which had nothing to do with all beasts and was completed solely by the Dragon clan.

The second was Consciousness into Beast, which had already ended.

The third was the Dragon Gate.

This Dragon Gate was also a Space Gate, leading to an uncertain location, but it would definitely be somewhere marked by the Dragon tribe ancestors.

The Dragon clan would first worship and perform the Sacrifice, collecting the aura of the Dragon Ancestor.

Afterwards, all juvenile Sacred Beasts would have access.

Locations marked by the Dragon tribe ancestors are bound to be abundant with treasures.

At the very least, influenced by the Tao Rhythm of the ancestor, there would be several fixed treasures.

The Stalactite was one of them, one of the rare treasures that could delay the dispersion of the Origin.

This was a major reason why Su He attended the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

He shook his head at Zheng, “No grabbing, no fighting, no hitting, no battling.”

He had come to the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice only for the stalactite within the Dragon Gate.

No matter who it was, if they blocked his way, it would no longer be a game.

The Dragon Gate, which had extracted the Tao Rhythm of the Dragon Ancestor, was very special.

The outside world could not detect it, and even divination with trigrams was useless.

If someone really killed inside, no one would be able to calculate the causality.

Unless one’s Tao Cultivation surpassed that of the Dragon Ancestor.

One after another, divine god dragons returned from the Dragon Gate, circling above Nine Heavens.

Only two underage young dragons were left inside the Dragon Gate.

Entering the Dragon Gate to hunt for treasures was considered a boon for the younger generation.

Adult sacred beasts would not and could not enter.

The chorus of dragons signified that it was time to enter the Dragon Gate.

Su He was the first to step onto the Ze Water, the waves beneath him propelling him straight into the Dragon Gate.

Following him, the cry of the phoenix resounded as Feng Jiu closely followed, the qilin Mu Tong kicking its hooves as if it wanted to rush into the Dragon Gate, yet its body was backing away.

After retreating half a mile, it was carried into the Dragon Gate by the throng of beasts.

Just as he entered the Dragon Gate, a tiger’s roar blasted deafeningly.

Two golden dragons hovered in the sky, beneath which on a mountaintop, a white tiger looked up and roared and howled.

With a gaping maw, the roar reverberated through the wilderness.

The white tiger was only a phantom, yet its aura was vast, in no way inferior to the two golden dragons.

The two golden dragons, one on each side, summoned wind and rain, with the rain solidifying into weapons attacking the white tiger.

However, that white tiger could only perform two moves.

It spewed a thunder orb from its mouth, detonating with a bang in the clouds.

A swipe of its giant claw, and the sky seemed to tear open.

“A sacred beast?” Su He asked.

Feng Jiu’s body blazed with flames, staring resolutely at the white tiger, “No!”

Zheng too flicked his tail, ready to attack at any moment, “Since when are there tiger type sacred beasts?

Tigers only deserve to be the kings of mortal beasts.”

As expected, the mortal beasts he mentioned included exotic beasts — in the eyes of sacred beasts, all non-sacred beasts were mortal beasts.

Off to the side, Mu Tong spoke for the first time, its voice timid, “But, but it’s not an exotic beast either…”

This statement took all its courage, and once finished, it immediately lowered its head, not daring to look at anyone.

The white tiger, locked in confrontation with the golden dragons, was neither a divine beast nor an exotic beast.

This world had no tiger type sacred beasts.

After the emergence of the true form of Xuan Wu, Su He specifically went to the Heritage Sea to research information about the four sacred beasts.

There was an Azure Dragon, Qing Cang was one.

Not only the name Meng but also a genuine Azure Dragon.

Moreover, most dragons in the Dragon clan were Azures, as many as six.

The rest were golden dragons, white dragons, and the like.

Regarding the Vermillion Bird, the records were vague.

Within the Ten Major Immortal Doors of the Mystery Huang World, there was the Vermillion Bird Gate which housed the sacred Vermilion Bird.

But it was different from the Vermilion Bird Su He was familiar with.

That bird was merely named Vermilion Bird, descending from the Phoenix Clan but had ties with the traitors of the Phoenix lineage.

It was not accepted by the Phoenix Clan.

As for Xuan Wu, there was no record at all.

There was simply no such creature that combined two divine beasts, not until White Spirit refined the Soaring Snake and created a Spirit Snake.

The Dragon Turtle Tribe was still nurturing and merging, and aside from Su He, not a single turtle had hatched from its shell.

As for the White Tiger…

there were even fewer records!

Forget about a white tiger sacred beast, there weren’t even any tiger type divine beasts!

It was even unheard of any tiger type exotic beast reaching the Sun-Eclipsing Realm.

Before this, Su He never thought there was much of an issue.

Different worlds, different pathways of cultivation.

The resulting divine beasts were naturally different.

It wasn’t like he had traveled across worlds and found that the myths of this world were exactly the same as the legends from his previous life.

That wouldn’t make sense!

Not to mention the distant past, this world didn’t even have a Heavenly Court or an Underworld!

The world was vast, but how many secrets were there among the long-lived races?

If there really were any, the Dragon Turtle Tribe would surely know about them.

After discovering the “Immortal Sovereign Reincarnation” status on Ji Feixue’s mirror, Su He specially collected related materials.

The history of the Dragon Turtle Clan had clear records of the Immortal Sovereign, “Underworld Immortal Sovereign seen at Di Mountain”.

Ming was another Old Ancestor Dragon Turtle ranked within the top thirty on the Bai Ze List, but…

dead or alive, no knowledge!

Di Mountain was the ancestral land of the Dragon Turtle Clan, and Su He had not yet visited it.

Having opened the heavens, it was time to make a trip to the ancestral land once the elders awakened.

The Dragon Turtle records mentioned the Immortal Sovereign, but had no mention of the Heavenly Court or Underworld, let alone the four sacred beasts.

Yet here was a white tiger, that although seemed not a true living creature, appearing semi-transparent, like some spirit or thunder existence.

The world behind the Dragon Gate was where traces of the Dragon Ancestor remained.

To leave such traces, one either had to cultivate there for tens of thousands of years or engage in a major battle.

The presence of a white tiger phantom capable of withstanding two golden dragons at this place made it hard not to speculate.
