Old Taoist Ge laughed unabashedly, eliciting snickers from the crowd below the stage.
On the high platform, Qiu Fox, surprised at first, continued to host: “Disciple presents a gift, Master imparts the method!”
Now that they were master and disciple, it was time for the master to pass on his cultivation method after receiving the gift from the disciple. Of course, it was impossible to truly let the disciple receive the inheritance in front of the public.
The master needed to give the disciple a catalogue, so that the disciple would have a clear path for future cultivation.
Old Taoist Ge held the little alligator in one hand, and with the other, he pointed at Su He’s forehead.
Su He closed his eyes to sense it, and after a moment, he opened them in astonishment.
What his master had passed on to him was not a catalogue, but Old Taoist Ge’s complete Beast Transformation Chapter! Old Taoist Ge looked at him, all his cultivation was in this chapter.
His disciple was a Divine Beast, unable to cultivate the Beast Transformation Chapter, but the necessary inheritance must be there. As for other minor techniques and tricks, there would be plenty of time to teach them in the future.
Su He bowed again.
On the high platform, Qiu Fox announced loudly: “The disciple has been taught, a day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father, family members give thanks!”
His voice echoed across the entire Listening Sea Lake.
Old Taoist Ge turned around abruptly, looking up at the high platform with anger on his face.
Normally, when a cultivator takes a disciple, after the master imparts the method and the disciple thanks the master, the disciple’s parents and elders naturally need to express their gratitude. This is known as the family’s thanks.
But this step had been agreed to be cancelled.
Su He was a turtle, who had been living alone in Listening Sea Lake since he hatched. His mother must exist, and could be found following the bloodline. Old Taoist Ge had tried to find her – he didn’t want anyone to curse and kill his disciple in the future because of his disciple’s blood relatives.
The mother turtle who gave birth to his disciple, Old Taoist Ge couldn’t just kill her, severing her mysterious connection with Su He, and then keep her in his own pond.
This would also help Su He transform into the Dragon Turtle.
The moment he truly transformed into the Dragon Turtle, all blood ties with his original relatives would naturally be completely severed.
The cancelled step was announced by Qiu Fox. How were they, master and disciple, supposed to handle this?
The crowd below the stage fell silent.
Qiu Fox immediately realized he had made a mess, but didn’t know how to fix it.
Among the Eastern Cloud factions that had a grudge against the Qingyuan Sect, murmurs were already starting. It wasn’t exactly schadenfreude, but it wasn’t far off.
The Qingyuan Sect was making a fool of itself, and they were happy to watch the drama, weren’t they?
They looked at the Dragon Turtle. These past few days, from the competition to the acceptance of a disciple, the Qingyuan Sect had been in the spotlight. How were they going to wrap this up now?
Just then, a sword cry rang out, and a Fairy Sword, trailing sword light, shot in from outside the Qingyuan Sect and suddenly stopped above the acceptance ceremony, hovering in mid-air.
A ripple spread across the sword, and a woman appeared out of thin air.
Dressed in white as pure as snow, without any makeup, her natural beauty was captivating. Her sword aura was strong, like a woman warrior, yet she had a stunning beauty that was picture-perfect. She was like a fairy emerging from the clouds, radiant as spring, and bright as the autumn moon.
Su Huanian.
Her real body was not present, it was just an illusion brought out by the Fairy Sword.
The illusion’s lips moved slightly: “Family gives thanks!”
Her voice was like a clear autumn stream, crisp yet cold and desolate.
The crowd below was stunned by this figure, and only after hearing her words did they exclaim in surprise: “How is Fairy Su related to the Dragon Turtle?”
As soon as this person finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. He wished he could slap himself. The wife of the head of the Qingyuan Sect had come to save the day, and he was trying to sabotage it?
Su Huanian smiled and looked at Su He: “He shares my surname, Su!”
Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something extremely ordinary.
The crowd suddenly remembered that when the Dragon Turtle was introduced earlier, it had a name: Su He! He shared the same surname as Fairy Su, was this the turtle that Fairy Su had raised?
What would Fairy Su use to express her gratitude?
The sword light had rushed over, even her real body hadn’t had time to arrive, someone must have contacted her in a hurry, right? Could she have prepared a thank-you gift in such a short time?
However, Fairy Su’s cultivation level was extraordinary, and any treasure she casually took out would be a priceless treasure to ordinary cultivators, more than enough as a thank-you gift.
Su Huanian pointed her slender jade finger into the air, and the Fairy Sword beside her suddenly let out a sword cry, slashing through the air. The sword cut through space, creating a spatial rift, its interior dark and mysterious, swallowing even the light.
The crowd was taken aback, only then did they remember. This Fairy Su was the number one expert of the Qingyuan Sect. A true Traverse Heaven realm powerhouse.
She could cut open space with just an illusion!
A chirping sound came from the spatial rift, and then a fluffy ball-like thing fell out, rolling to the side of Su Huanian’s illusion, and with a flick, it floated towards Old Taoist Ge.
“Family gives thanks, with a Soul Beast.”
The little fluffy ball looked like a fluffy snowball with facial features, its big eyes blinking, extremely cute. It looked at Old Taoist Ge and chirped.
The entire acceptance ceremony was in an uproar.
A Soul Beast!
This was a Soul Beast!
A Soul Beast was not a beast, it was just named after a beast.
This world was full of wonders, there were wastelands that were special spaces, like the Three Rivers Wasteland that Old Taoist Ge had just come out of, and the Qingming Wasteland, the source of the ice jade that Qiu Fox had given to Su He.
There was also the Void Realm, which was even more special.
The Void Realm, unlike the real world, was a virtual world created by a ninth-level Soul Beast. Soul Beasts could bring a cultivator’s consciousness into the Void Realm.
Simply put, this was a gathering place for the consciousness of a cultivator who owned a Soul Beast, where they could communicate, discuss the Dao, and even trade items through the Void Realm.
The Void Realm was intangible, yet it truly existed.
Apart from being led by a Soul Beast, there was no other way to enter.
Soul Beasts were rare, even the top ten Immortal Sects rarely had them, only the true core disciples and Traverse Heaven realm powerhouses had them.
A Soul Beast could only form a symbiotic relationship with one person in its lifetime. It could also only lead its own master’s consciousness into the Void Realm.
In Su He’s understanding, the Void Realm was like a WeChat group or QQ group, and the Soul Beast was his account. However, this account could only be owned by one person in a lifetime.
No matter how far apart two people were, they could communicate through the Void Realm via their Soul Beasts.
Moreover, different Void Realms had different laws, which were of great help to a cultivator’s cultivation.
Su Huanian actually gave a Soul Beast as a thank-you gift to Old Taoist Ge – she hadn’t even given one to Feng Yiju!
The crowd looked at Feng Yiju, only to see that his expression was as usual.
Old Taoist Ge looked at the little fur ball in front of him, first in shock, then shaking his head: “Niece, this thank-you gift is too…”Before he could finish speaking, the phantom of Su Huanian had already dissipated into light. A gentle voice echoed in Su He’s mind: “Practice diligently, take care of Yaya for me, she hasn’t woken up yet.”
Su He’s mind sharpened.
He had assumed that Feng Yaya had gone off to cause trouble with the camel.
Such an important event as becoming a disciple, such a lively scene, and the little girl hadn’t even shown up. She was still asleep. She had overslept.
Old Taoist Ge’s words were stuck in his throat. The little furball in front of him squeaked, jumped up, and crashed into his forehead, as if being sucked into a vortex, and whooshed inside. In no time, it popped out from the top of Old Taoist Ge’s head.
A symbiotic relationship had already formed.
Soul beasts were neither real nor illusory, immune to external harm, and usually resided in their master’s Sense Realm, advancing as their master advanced.
The little fire dragon fruit on the shoulder of the princess’s maid in Yunmeng Ze was hopping around, eager to pounce on the little furball.
It was also a soul beast, rarely encountering its kind outside.
The discussions at the scene of the initiation were getting louder and louder. This was no longer simple admiration.
It was jealousy!
Naked jealousy!
Who said that Turtle was born without a mother? Look at how this family is expressing their gratitude, with a soul beast!
