Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 609 - 609 142 The Cheat is Gone_3

609: Chapter 142 The Cheat is Gone_3 609: Chapter 142 The Cheat is Gone_3 The Inner World had consolidated to its limit, the Power of the World full to brimming, and as soon as the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact was focused, Su He could open the Second Level of Heaven at any moment.

The second Opening Heaven Divine Artifact, the artillery mount, had already fully solidified, and now the shadowy figure of the Ge Gua was clear to see—it was a box, with a shell inside slowly taking shape.

Opening the Second Heaven meant firing at Chaos.

…

In the Sealed Emperor Great World, within the Sealed Emperor’s Palace.

Emperor Luan stood serenely beneath the Old Locust Tree in the Imperial Garden, with not even a palace maid nearby, only an Old Eunuch whose presence was hardly felt standing to one side.

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince seeks an audience,” the Old Eunuch said softly.

“Let him come in,” Emperor Luan chuckled lightly.

Ever since Lady Qiong’s departure, the Crown Prince visited more frequently, and all the ministers praised him for his filial piety, fearing that his considerations might be too profound and could harm his Divine God Soul.

Emperor Luan took it as the truth.

Toward the Crown Prince, he thus shed a little of the imperial majesty and added a bit more of a father’s encouragement.

The Crown Prince entered, bowed deeply, and prostrated himself: “Father, your son is at fault!”

Emperor Luan turned around and inquired, “Wherein lies the fault?”

The Crown Prince paused briefly before answering, “The Third Emperor’s Son obtained the Summoning Symbol, which I failed to detect.

I failed to notice when the Dragons summoned the Dragon Turtle, and when the Dragon Turtle bestowed upon the Third Emperor’s Son a Talisman Rune, I overlooked it as well; moreover, I permitted that Dragon Turtle to destroy the summoning altar right before my eyes and steal the altar’s Protective Array Formula!”

Emperor Luan was quiet for a long time before shaking his head and saying, “Your mistake does not lie here.

When you come to realize where you truly went wrong, you may alone command one guard.

Should you correct it, you will command two!”

The Crown Prince suddenly lifted his head, having forgotten even the basic court etiquette in his incredulity, and gazed at Emperor Luan in disbelief.

Emperor Luan’s expression was impassive, yet his demeanor bore no hint of jest.

He pointed with his halberd, and two tiger talismans hung from the Locust Tree above.

“If you feel you have achieved it, then you may come here and take these tiger talismans; the Tianhe and Tianbi armies, I will give to you!”

The Crown Prince slowly bowed his head, waves of shock arising in his heart.

How could any emperor possibly hand over military authority to the Crown Prince?

This was not the guard of the Eastern Palace; this was the kind that could order camps and guards, practically allowing one to do as one pleases with the tiger talismans!

This was true military power!

He was silent for a long while, unsure of what his father was thinking, or even where his father felt he had gone wrong.

Or perhaps…

where he went wrong wasn’t important; what his father thought was what truly mattered!

He took a few deep breaths, bowed slightly, “If your son feels he has achieved it, he will come to receive what father has bestowed!”

He bowed deeply and then partially rose, producing a lotus and presenting it respectfully: “Father, I do not know by what means the Dragon Turtle managed it, but the Third Emperor’s Son’s transformation into a black bear—I cannot lift the curse, and neither can the scholars of the Scholar Residence.”

Emperor Luan looked upon the black bear in the lotus, letting out a sigh, and with a wave of his hand summoned the Mountain and River Ding, which broke the air to arrive above, casting a light from its mouth upon the black bear.

With a roar, the black bear’s body writhed, transforming back into human form.

However, a Talisman Rune in its forehead could not be removed no matter what.

Emperor Luan pointed at the Third Emperor’s Son’s forehead.

He fixed the Talisman Rune about half an inch away from his brow, letting it float in the air.

Emperor Luan shouted: “Wake up now!”

The Third Emperor’s Son suddenly opened his eyes, crying out, “Feng Zhen has wronged me!”

After his outburst, he seemed to come to his senses, looking around at his surroundings before dropping to his knees.

“Father…

Your Majesty…

I…”

Emperor Luan did not address his earlier statement but instead looked down and asked, “Little Third, did you notice anything unusual when you transformed into the bear?”

Feng Zhen didn’t know why such a question was asked and shook his head, “This son has not felt anything, only a great fear!”

Emperor Luan smiled, “There’s a reason for the great fear, the Talisman Rune is continuously stealing the secrets from your mind.

Our clan’s prohibitions have tried to eradicate you time and again.

Were it not for the protection of the Talisman Rune, you would have died long ago.”

To be constantly on the verge of annihilation, isn’t great fear to be expected?

Feng Zhen looked astonishedly at Emperor Luan.

Emperor Luan looked down at him, “The Mountain and River Ding is a one-time only tool; it can only save you once.

Just three years, and once my borrowing of its protection on your forehead exhausts its power, you will be scattered away, and then you will turn back into a black bear.

After that, our clan’s prohibitions and that Talisman Rune will continue to erode each other.

If luck is on your side and the Talisman Rune wins, you may live out your days peacefully as a bear.

Otherwise, death is certain.”

The Forbidden Sea of consciousness from the Sealed Emperor Family comes from the first generation Old Ancestor, and it’s impossible for later generations to lift it.

Maybe kneel before the Dragon Turtle or the Phoenix Old Ancestor, can such beings unwind it?

The Third Emperor’s Son’s face turned pale as he stared bewildered at Emperor Luan, “Father, what…

what should I do?”

Emperor Luan gave him a glance and said solemnly, “The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.”

The Third Emperor’s Son fell silent.

The Dragon Turtle…

Thinking of that Buddha-like Heavenly Sovereign, Third Emperor’s Son’s face grew even paler, “Your Majesty, that turtle…”

Emperor Luan cut him off, “He lost his Buddha’s clothes.”

The Third Emperor’s Son and the Crown Prince looked over simultaneously.

Such matters cannot be concealed from a Greater Power.

Just now, the outer garment changed hands, and it began to dissipate rapidly, likely absorbed by someone.

Piecing together various reports, it’s likely given to his Peacock mother.

Indeed, quite benevolent and loyal!

Gone?

The Third Emperor’s Son was shocked.

Such an earth-shaking, heaven-supporting garment, gone?

A cold light and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, without the garment, what would that Dragon Turtle amount to?!

…

Su He made a stroke, and a vast expanse of Chaos broke open, as if to refine itself into mountains and rivers, but failing to do so.

A Divine God Beast in a Suppression Land, not too much to ask for.

But Su He was not trying to open a Suppression Land; he was merely refining some of the Chaos.

The Chaos he opened did not turn into a new world and soon returned to its original state of Chaos, but in this transformation, a vast amount of Origin World was produced.

Such Origin could not be absorbed by Su He, toxic as it was and utterly unrefinable; absorbed into the Inner World, it would cause indigestion.

However, to mend the world, it was just right.

The foundation of the Mystery Huang world was profound, and it could absorb these Origins without much trouble.

A flag above his head swept up, already gathering all the Origin.

Su He burst out of the Chaos, flickering in movement, heading straight for the Southern Sea.

On his way, he came across Feng Jiu, who had just refined Chaos as well.

They exchanged greetings and landed on the Southern Sea together.

Feng Jiu watched Lady Snow, who lay asleep on Su He’s Shell.

It had been several days, but she still could not get used to such a legendary being actually following this ugly turtle!

After the discussion ended that day, Lady Snow woke up briefly.

Phoenix Chao Fei, her aunt, mockingly provoked her with a challenge to compete in opening Chaos.

Lady Snow merely gave her a look and said, “I’m from A Demon Race, why would I open Chaos?”

Then, stretching lazily, she went back to sleep on Su He’s Shell, and to this date, she has not awakened.

But perhaps it was an illusion, Lady Qiong felt there was something different about Lady Snow’s clothes—they had changed!

It was no longer the same awkward combination as a few days ago.

Now with red and black intertwined, it seemed much more harmonious, as if it had truly merged together.
