Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 360 - 360 62_2

360: Chapter 62_2 360: Chapter 62_2 “Alright, Master.” Long Min swayed her mermaid tail, bowed deeply, and slowly withdrew.

The mermaids were beyond happy during this period.

The Divine God Beast rarely ventured outside, and Miss Yaya was present as well, making the Dragon Turtle Qi within Long Moon Mansion reach an ultimate density.

All mermaids made progress in cultivation at a breakneck speed—more in these three months than in the past thirty years combined.

She had been stuck at the Second Stage of Demonic Transformation for two hundred years, but now she finally felt signs of a breakthrough within this quarter.

Bowing again before leaving, just when she was about to step out the door, she heard Su He say, “By the way, I’ve spoken with Uncle Lei.

After this, select a dozen or so intelligent and eager-to-learn clan members, and I will send them to Uncle Lei’s place to study with our mermaid kinfolk for a while.”

Long Min was stunned, joy swiftly rising on her face.

The Tian Shui Clan had not served the Dragon Turtle for too long—perhaps three to five hundred thousand years?

Maybe even three to five million years, or perhaps not at all—who could say for sure?

So much of their heritage had been lost.

Nowadays they did not even know what to do with many of the problems encountered by the Divine God Beast, resorting to building the most basic Water Mansion for the Master and his wife.

If guests visited, they feared it would greatly embarrass the Master.

Long Min looked up: “Master, may I select a few more descendants?”

Su He chuckled: “You can!” He did not even know where Green Thunder’s original lair was, but he had over three billion mermaid kin.

Perhaps there was a whole world at his disposal!

Maybe even more than one.

Not to mention sending just a few more mermaids to be educated, even sending them all was no issue.

If it were not for the mermaids’ unwavering loyalty to their master, Green Thunder could have easily sent over a horde of them with just a wave of his hand.

Sending mermaids abroad to study, while also inviting foreign instructors from Uncle Lei’s place, would allow education on both sides without delay.

“Thank you, Master!” Overflowing with happiness, Long Min thanked Su He again: “Master, the heritage of Long Moon Mansion has been compiled by this old servant.

Would you like to review it?”

Nobody knew which Greater Power had once claimed Long Moon Mansion as a Cave Mansion, but it contained many heritages—not exactly in a complete series, more like scattered experimental data.

Lu Ming and Feng Yi Ju both had received heritage here in the past.

As Su He and Su Huanian controlled the Cave Mansion, the heritage naturally could not flee—collected and given to Long Min to sort into categories, a task that had taken her half a year to begin to gather headway.

Moments later, dozens of Jade Slips were delivered by the Mermaid Ritual officers.

It was evident that the original owner had lived here for quite some time—perhaps this place was even just a testing ground?

The majority of the content written on these Jade Slips was about experiments with puppets and beast mastery.

There were many speculations and records about Divine God Beasts, and even three slips specifically dedicated to research on the Demonic Fruit.

Although they had not unraveled its mysteries, the former owner solemnly noted that the Demonic Fruit was extremely important, not just for beasts, but for all cultivators.

The secrets it contained were far from simply enlightening beasts and consolidating bloodlines.

If one could decipher the mysteries of the Demonic Fruit, perhaps most of the secrets of the world would unfold before them.

Su He tossed these Jade Slips aside, as he had already plenty of secrets to explore and was not currently interested in the Demonic Fruit.

Su He merely wanted to know if the former owner of Long Moon Mansion had any connection with the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, and whether there was any research on it.

The Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace was sealed by Green Thunder, right under the bamboo forest next to the lake, and had not moved.

Su He had visited and tried to push the door.

It could be pushed, but not entered for the time being.

When he first entered, he was able to walk straight through the door, but the second time, he needed to use True Yuan and the Power of the World, powers which Su He’s current Boundary Status was not yet strong enough to employ to open the door.

And besides these two powers, Su He could sense a third power blocking him.

He apparently needed to master a fraction of the Xuanwu Power to re-enter the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace.

Divination…

Formation…

Swordsmanship—extracted separately, perhaps the wife could use them.

As Su He perused one Jade Slip after another, it became clear that the former owner was incredibly well-versed with a wide scope of studies.

While some titles were beyond Su He’s comprehension, others were merely gently probed: Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Method to Open a Cave Mansion, Star Fate, True Yuan Transformation…

Su He picked up the Jade Slip he had just set down earlier.

Star Fate!

Though routine.

The person’s research into Star Fate was shallow compared to the Heavenly Star Palace’s Taoism passed down from Su Huanian.

However, his perspective was intriguingly novel.

Star Fate as beasts, with forms of long snakes or giant tigers, similar in form and connected in Qi, study the bodies of ten thousand beasts through the Star Fate.

Those who cultivate the stars should start with the Cultivation Beast Volume!

He associated the celestial Star Fate with various beasts and studied the stars amidst them.

Cultivation is a mixture of fictitious and real, true and false, and seemingly unrelated things may share a common origin.

Linking beasts with the Star Fate for joint study was a new approach for Su He, and it gave him a flash of enlightenment.

A long-standing issue for Su He suddenly became clear!

Xuan Wu was not just a Star Fate; it also was a Sacred Beast, which carried the character of a beast no matter what!

He remembered casual conversations with Green Snake when it stayed on the Turtle Shell.

He had also seen Turtle-snake Combined Strike techniques in the Qingyuan Scripture Library.

Turtle and snake, one motion one stillness, one as stable as a mountain, the other sharp and swift.

They were naturally suitable for collaboration.

Not just Turtle Demons and Snake Demons were adept at this, but there were numerous Formation and Swordsmanship techniques also integrating the two themes.

Su He exhaled a sigh of relief: He had fixated!

Why be confined by the Tao Scriptures and perplexed by the expanse of stars?

To comprehend the Xuanwu Star Fate without understanding anything was unlikely to yield significant gains!

Starting with these techniques, proceeding from simple to complex, advancing step by step.

With more understanding, approaching the Star Fate would surely yield different results.

Su He sheathed his flying sword, and turned to Su Huanian at the mountain peak: “Wife!”
