Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 271 - 271 20 Huge Loss_1

271: Chapter 20 Huge Loss_1 271: Chapter 20 Huge Loss_1 Dice after dice fell around Bifang, with the greatest number landing on the same plume feather, which seemed to have a storage ability similar to Su He’s External Appearance Space.

Bifang was dead, so this thing was similar to an ownerless Storage Bag; when Su He’s True Yuan surged through it…

it did not open.

There were prohibitions on it, but since the rightful owner was thoroughly dead and no one was in control, although Su He could not understand those prohibitions, he gradually wore them down bit by bit.

In less than half a day, he managed to breach the plume feather.

When the space opened, he tipped it upside down, and a pile of items poured out.

Boundary-breaking Beads×2

These were good items, specifically for breaking through worldly barriers.

If the Toads had had this thing back then, they could have forcibly escaped from the White Spirit Small World.

It was also effective against certain Suppression and Sealing Formations.

However, generally people are reluctant to use it—as if using a sledgehammer to kill a cow.

Spirit Fields, two acres×3, making six acres in total.

Bifang had a screw loose; why would he carry these things on him?

These were top-quality Spirit Fields condensed to the size of a book which could be expanded for use if needed.

But Bifang, a mere bird, was not going to catch bugs and farm, right?

Not focusing on his main business!

Su He collected the Spirit Fields into the External Appearance Space.

After all, it was just the space of six books, and the External Appearance Space was still very large.

The External Appearance Space was born after last year’s hibernation; initially it spanned only about ten square meters, fitting three one-meter large Turtle Demon shells was its limit when Su He became an apprentice.

This size lasted until Su He went through Tribulation and became a Dragon Turtle, when the space suddenly expanded, becoming twenty meters in diameter—a small-sized football field.

Since then, it has been slowly expanding.

It is now about twenty-five meters or so.

The growth of the External Appearance Space mainly relies on Fu Mountain’s advancement.

But Su He has cultivated for too short a time; Fu Mountain is still struggling to absorb enough to enhance the strength of External Phase Turtle Mountain and the Mountain Divine God Seal, so it has seldom concerned itself with the External Appearance Space.

It has always been in a state of self-growth.

After placing the Spirit Fields into the External Appearance Space, Su He once again looked at the treasures that had burst forth from Bifang.

Source Stone heap×3

Great stuff!

Su He was elated; for Divine God Beasts, these were the real treasures.

A Divine God Beast that Opens the Heaven, and the Inner World’s advancement relies on Divine Beasts slowly exhaling and inhaling over time, stacking up the Inner World with time.

Alternatively, it involves drawing from the Origin of the World, which has only two sources: completely annihilating a world to extract its Origin, or breaking through the Chaos at the periphery of a great world, refining the Chaos, and collecting it from newly formed territory.

As for the Origin of the World that gives rise to a Divine God Beast Tribulation, that thing is useless.

Only the Divine Beast undergoing the Tribulation can absorb it—it is not outright poisonous to other Divine Beasts, but it is still rubbish.

People like Gu Luo would lay down Formations and Talisman Runes in their own Suppression Lands to refine Chaos and produce Source Stones.

To Divine Beasts, Source Stones are what Spirit Stones are to Cultivators.

The supreme kind.

Just as he was fretting that the Origin World in the Eternal Trigram was about to run out, Bifang had delivered a pile.

What a good friend!

Su He looked at Bifang’s corpse gratefully and then plucked two more plume feathers from the body.

Bifang’s form was like that of a vermilion bird, but it did not have a lump of flesh on its head; instead, it had a crown of feathers made of three plume feathers.

These were also treasures that could be used in Refining Magical Treasures.

Dragon Turtles were not adept at Artifact Refining or Alchemy, so he could seek Ji Feixue’s help when he had the chance.

There were also many Spirit Stone Crystals, but these were not too useful, so Su He casually tossed them into the External Appearance Space.

There were some Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures that Su He did not recognize.

He only recognized a Six Transformations Fire Mother sealed within a special crystal.

Fire Mother was a plant, though it had the form of a flame.

Fire Mother grew in frigid lands, blooming and bearing fruit once every ten thousand years.

When the fruit ripened, the seeds would directly absorb nutrients from the plant, grow in the same place, and once the new plant matured, the original would wither.

After four or more such cycles, the fire form would appear.

The highest was ninth transformation, and after the ninth, it would burn itself out and vanish.

For Cultivators and Divine Beasts of the fire attribute, it was an absolute treasure.

There were even rumors that at ninth transformation, it had the ability to resurrect through fire.

But that was only a legend.

Then there was Bifang’s corpse and that bead which made Su He feel apprehensive.

The dice upon the bead were spinning smoothly.

Quality×5

Su He did not act rashly; he had not figured out why Bifang did not immediately use this bead upon encountering him.

Even without enhanced quality, it should have been able to injure him.

If used well, it might even have achieved a miraculous victory with a fatal blow.

Bifang has water on the brain!

The sound of a dragon’s chant came from the horizon, and amidst the wind and clouds, two Golden Dragons descended from the sky, landing beside Su He.

Looking at Bifang’s body on the ground, the two Golden Dragons fell silent together.

They had sensed the great battle here and hurried over but obviously did not make it in time.

Meng Xuan lifted her eyebrows at the sight of Bifang’s body on the ground: “When did this thing get in here?” If she remembered correctly, Bifang had not entered through the Dragon Gate.

“Disguised as Mu Yin,” Su He said succinctly.

Meng Xuan nodded.

Killing a Bifang was just that, although it would be troublesome afterward, but that was a matter for the elders.

Moreover, this was inside the Dragon Gate; without the cooperation of the Dragon clan, nobody could find out.

Even if they did find out, so what?

Disguising oneself as another Divine Beast to enter, with obviously impure motives—perhaps it meant to ambush the Dragon Turtle but ended up getting killed instead.

It wasn’t clear who could cause trouble for whom!

It’s a pity that the Dragon Turtle Tribe had no elders here; otherwise, they could have taken Bifang’s corpse and thrown it at his elders.

Meng Xuan was unconcerned about these things.

She coiled herself on the other Golden Dragon while gazing at the round bead on the ground, “Oh!

Isn’t that the Heavenly Thunder of Canchen Senior?

How did it end up circulating outside and becoming Bifang’s treasure?”

Seeing Su He’s confusion, she laughed and said, “That’s a quirky Human Race senior from the Qianjiang Mystery Realm, an independent cultivator, though extremely advanced in Tao Cultivation.

The main thing is, he loved Artifact Refining, but nine out of ten times, it would result in an explosion.

You’ll understand once you enter, the Dao friends in Qianjiang Li are really fun.

Way more interesting than the Dragon Tribe’s Mysterious Realm where they don’t speak a word for decades.”

No one in the Dragon Tribe’s Mysterious Realm spoke; at most, the two young Golden Dragons would chat across the world.

Even that foolish Zheng Chunlong wouldn’t talk much, looking weary and disinterested in life despite being only thirty thousand years old, as if he had lived too long and seen too much.

Su He nodded.

He had heard about Qianjiang from the Toad, but before he could go in, his consciousness returned and he had been in seclusion, solidifying his Boundary Status.

Meng Xuan picked up the bead, flicked it with her paw, and the entangled Meng Shen immediately turned pale, darted out from her coils, and hid behind Su He.

The renowned Canchen Taoist could turn even a simple messaging Flying Sword into an explosive Magical Treasure.

Not just one recipient was blown into bed for a century by a messaging Flying Sword, and this news had long been enduring in the Cultivation World.

Nowadays, anyone aware of Canchen’s reputation would avoid his creations like the plague, not to mention his specially crafted Heavenly Thunder for explosions.

Meng Xuan scoffed disdainfully.

The creations of Senior Canchen were unreliable in everything but exploding-class Magical Treasures, which were the most reliable of all.

She tossed the Heavenly Thunder towards Su He, stabilizing it in front of him.

Su He instinctively took two steps back, as the sense of danger on the Heavenly Thunder intensified.

“Coward!” Meng Xuan scoffed, unbothered, as she flicked her tail and sent the Bifang corpse flying.

This thing was an eyesore!

If it hadn’t been for the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice, if it hadn’t been for all the onlookers, she would have plucked it clean when it attacked Su He with the Earth Cloth and made it into a platter.

With a flick of her tail, the Bifang was sent flying, but at that moment, a flash of light on its body revealed a larger Bifang shadow.

It was a Consciousness Body of some sort.

As soon as it appeared, it spread its wings and cried out, “Who has harmed my Bifang offspring?”

It looked down at the group, seeing a Turtle and two Dragons, “Scions of the Dragon and Dragon Turtle Tribes…”

After a moment of silence, it continued, “I do not know where my Bifang has offended the three of you, but could you perhaps spare its life?

The Bifang clan will surely be grateful.”

Meng Xuan was silent for a moment as if considering Bifang’s offer, but then suddenly whipped the Heavenly Thunder in front of Su He towards Bifang and swiftly curled around Meng Shen to hide behind Su He.

“Destroy it!” Meng Xuan transmitted.

“Dragon Gate acts as a barrier, this Bifang’s consciousness cannot connect to its main body.

It is also suppressed by the territory here, slow to react, and we absolutely cannot let this Consciousness Body escape through the Dragon Gate.”

The Dragon Gate territory still contained the Tao Rhythms left by the Dragon Ancestor, and any adult Divine God Beast besides the Dragon clan would be suppressed here.

This was why adult Divine God Beasts did not come treasure hunting at the Dragon Gate.

If it were outside, the Consciousness Body of the Bifang on the brink of death would be immediately activated.

But in the Dragon Gate territory, the consciousness was far too slow.

The Bifang was already dead and cold before it made an appearance.

But just because the Consciousness Body was slow to come out, it didn’t mean it was dimwitted.

The moment it showed up, it must have known that the Bifang was already dead.

It was either feigning ignorance to stage a sneak attack or seeking escape to send a message to its main body.

“Destroy it!

It’s faking!”

“Roar!” Su He let out a Divine God Might Roar.

At the same time, the External Phase Turtle Mountain emerged, its defenses maximized.

The Bifang, seeing the trio’s reaction, drooped its eyes slightly, immediately let out a faint cry, and charged with spread wings.

It wouldn’t dare to attempt to hunt and kill the juveniles of the Dragon Turtle and Divine God Dragon tribes simultaneously, but capturing and suppressing them for ten thousand years was no issue.

If it killed the Bifang, neither the Dragon Turtle nor the Divine God Dragon tribes could say a word.

After driving the three back, it would rush out of the Dragon Gate and merge with the main body.

It was only a Consciousness Body, and the idea of a single Consciousness Body suppressing three Opening Heaven Divine God Beasts was not impossible.

But there was a risk—no one knew what kind of life-saving methods these top-tier Divine God Beasts had left for their offspring.

They might even destroy this Consciousness Body.

Dodging the Heavenly Thunder thrown by Meng Xuan, the Bifang spread its wings and charged at the three young beasts.

Nevertheless, the Heavenly Thunder exploded in a deafening roar right behind it.

Boom!

A mushroom cloud shot up to the sky, the sound of the explosion following.

Shock filled Bifang’s eyes as it looked back, only to feel a blinding flash of light, and then its Consciousness Body was torn to pieces.

Meng Xuan was dumbstruck.

A blow from Senior Canchen’s Heavenly Thunder could at most severely injure a Divine God Beast of Three-fold Heaven.

When did it become so powerful?

As she lost consciousness, Meng Xuan had only this thought.

She glanced at Meng Shen, who was already completely knocked out, dragon blood seeping from her seven orifices.

Beside her, Su He was tucked inside his Turtle Shell.

Although the shell wasn’t cracked, he looked just as heavily injured.

They wouldn’t die, but they had suffered significant losses!

Without the Heavenly Thunder, the three beasts might have fended off Bifang’s Consciousness Body by fighting to the death.

At the very least, they could have used the life-saving methods left by the Dragon clan.

Those would have been more powerful and wouldn’t have harmed themselves.

Afterward, they would demand compensation from Senior Canchen.
