A remnant soul in a remnant body, with only five years of life left…
Su He’s gaze was fixed on the Bright Mirror.
The Bright Mirror couldn’t be wrong, the problem must lie with Feng Yaya’s body.
Su He’s breath hitched, then became rapid.
Since his arrival in this world, if he were to rank his relationships, Feng Yaya would undoubtedly top the list. The Little Girl had been with him without any ulterior motives or benefits, purely out of affection.
For a whole year, he and the turtle had hardly been apart, except when Su He hibernated – during which Feng Yaya would spend her days and nights guarding him on the ice. Every time Su He evolved a little, she would become ecstatic.
With so few friends, Feng Yaya was all the more precious.
Feng Yaya looked at the words on the Bright Mirror, her big eyes blinking in confusion. She understood the words, but didn’t quite comprehend their meaning.
A remnant soul in a remnant body, did that mean half of her had run away? Had half of her body gone out to play without her?
The thought made her suddenly angry!
Her lips pouted.
“Yaya, check what’s wrong with your body.” Su He’s voice was gentle, his dragon horn touching her forehead as he lent her the Bright Mirror again.
He couldn’t be like the White Jade Dragon Turtle, lending his Divine Ability for a year. He could only lend it once, and if he wanted to use it again, he would have to lend it again.
The lent Divine Ability was not as powerful as his own. The Bright Mirror, when with Su He, was in his sea of consciousness, visible only to him. But when with Feng Yaya, it floated outside, on public display.
Feng Yaya was still a bit upset, but obediently activated the Bright Mirror. A few moments later, the information updated:
Status: Remnant Soul in Remnant Body
Origin: 71%+5%
Origin Deficient.
Su He suddenly thought of the battle at Qingyuan, where a statue of the Great Ming King was shattered, and the sleeping Feng Yaya woke up immediately. Two statues of the Great Ming King, self-sacrificed, and something fell into Feng Yaya’s body.
Su He looked at the “+5%” figure. This was the origin that had been taken away and returned.
During this period, the Little Girl had been in high spirits. But the origin was not money, it couldn’t be lent and then taken back.
Having a third of her origin taken away was not like being paralyzed from the waist down or having a third of her body cut off.
If one were to make a comparison, it would be like cutting away a third of a person’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, bones, blood, and every cell in their body.
It would be a miracle if she could survive!
Feng Yaya only had five years of life left, which was already a miracle.
Feng Yiju?
Feng Yiju!!!
It could only be him! No wonder Su Huanian had asked him to protect Yaya and be wary of Feng Yiju.
Su He’s breathing became erratic.
The mermaid priestess and Jade Pearl remained silent. They didn’t know what to say, nor did they know what the Little Girl had been through.
They could only see the murderous intent in the Dragon Turtle’s eyes. The Little Girl must be very important to the Dragon Turtle – otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to roll around on the Dragon Turtle’s back so recklessly.
The Bright Mirror disappeared, and Su He’s eyes closed slightly. It was very difficult for the origin to be damaged – it was easy to kill a person, but to cut away a part of every cell in a person’s body was a tall tale.
But once the origin was damaged, it was impossible to recover. Apart from relying on heavenly treasures to prolong life, there seemed to be no other way.
The mermaid priestess wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su He looked at her.
The priestess pursed her lips, her eyes dodging, and after a long while, she finally steadied herself and said seriously to Su He, “Honored God, if anyone in this world has knowledge, it would be the Divine Beasts!”
Divine Beasts lived for a very long time, saw a lot, and naturally knew more.
“Honored God, as long as you cross the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve the true form of the Dragon Turtle, there will be elders of the same race who will come to guide you. At that time, you can ask them how to remedy Miss Yaya’s situation.”
Su He’s eyes lit up, “If I achieve the Dragon Turtle, there will be elders who will come?”
“Of course!” The mermaid priestess affirmed.
Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation to become a Dragon Turtle meant becoming a cub. The Dragon Turtle race was too small, Counting on Fingers – truly Counting on Fingers, not even ten fingers were needed!
Each cub was a treasure of the race.
How could they let him wander alone? At the very least, they would tell the cub where to go for help if bullied!
They would declare to the world that This Turtle was their cub, and whoever dared to touch him would die!
A glint flashed in Su He’s eyes. If what the priestess said was true.
Even if the Dragon Turtle who came didn’t know, as an elder of the Dragon Turtle race, having lived for countless years, he must have other familiar Divine Beasts and cultivators. The information he could access would be far beyond what Su He could now.
The priestess opened her mouth, as if she had something to say. She had been hesitating just now, wondering whether to tell Su He this news. The Dragon Turtle in front of her had only about seventy percent of his flesh and blood, and he could already sense the Heavenly Tribulation.
If he improved a little more, as long as he exceeded eighty-five percent, he would have a high chance of crossing the Heavenly Tribulation. Now that he knew this news, would he rush to cross the Tribulation in his haste?
If he failed because of this, she would be the culprit. Killing a Dragon Turtle would be an unforgivable crime!
The priestess took a deep breath and said seriously, “Honored God, don’t be in a hurry. The Heavenly Tribulation is difficult to cross. If you rush to cross it in a hurry and fail, everything will be in vain. At that time, Miss Yaya will have one less chance to live.”
She was right, Su He exhaled a turbid breath to suppress his excitement, “Don’t worry, priestess, I know my limits.”
Su He only had one Feng Yaya, but Feng Yaya had more than one Su He.
Didn’t Su Huanian, a Traverse Heaven cultivator, have more methods than him? Feng Yaya’s maternal grandfather was even the former First Seat of the Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion. The Heaven’s Secrets Pavilion was mainly engaged in business and had a wide range of friends.
During the last battle at Qingyuan, not everyone had participated. Like Feng Yaya’s maternal grandfather, he was not at Qingyuan Mountain, and even her blacksmith uncle Su He had not seen, he didn’t know whether he had been transferred or had other accidents.
Feng Yaya was not like him, a lone turtle in the world. She had close relatives, Su He didn’t need to cross the Heavenly Tribulation immediately to seek the Dragon Turtle elder.”However, it’s time to prepare for the Tribulation Crossing. Even without the help of the White Jade Turtle Shell, with the wild growth, in a few months at most, my blood, flesh, and bones will reach their limit, and I will have no choice but to cross the tribulation.
The merfolk priestess let out a sigh of relief, her face relaxing. Dragon Turtle was too proud to lie. If he said he wouldn’t rush to cross the tribulation, he definitely wouldn’t. She pondered for a moment before saying, “Before the Divine Crossing, you might consider joining the various mystical realms. There are cultivators from all over the world in these realms, and even people from other great worlds. Perhaps there is a way to restore the source.”
The Divine has a stubborn toad spirit beast, which should be able to travel through the various mystical realms.
Su He knew she had misunderstood and shook his head with a light laugh, “The toad is not my spirit beast.”
Moreover, the toad probably never joined any mystical realm, otherwise, it could enter the realm at any time. Why would it be trapped in the small world of Dragon Turtle?
I see.
The merfolk priestess nodded, summoning a bamboo raft to carry everyone towards the great marsh. The matters on Cloud Island had been settled, so naturally, they wouldn’t disturb the Divine’s rest any longer.
Even the sacrifice was extremely simple, two red carps and two bottles of old wine, a simple worship at the land granted by the Divine.
The merfolk’s worship of the Divine is more about intention than formality.
Su He let out a long chant towards the direction of the palace to express his gratitude. He then turned to the merfolk priestess and asked, “Did your Divine always want to be a human sister in her previous life?”
The merfolk priestess’s face instantly became colorful, her lips twitched as if she wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
According to the records left by our ancestors, the Divine… might really have this problem. But how did this Dragon Turtle know?
The bamboo raft gently descended, and they saw the toad waiting expectantly on the small island. The tobacco in its pipe had long since gone out, but it seemed completely unaware.
Cloud Island is the resting place of Dragon Turtle, and naturally, irrelevant people cannot casually go up. Not to mention the priestess, Su He and Yaya both had important matters to attend to, and Jade Pearl was the next generation priestess.
The toad was naturally classified as irrelevant.
Who made spirit beasts not good at fighting? In the locust forest, it was completely useless, not even cutting down a single locust tree.
“Tsk tsk!” The toad circled around Su He a few times. In just one day, his flesh and bone purity had already exceeded seventy percent.
That’s much higher than the Dragon Turtle from three thousand years ago.
The bloodline of a Divine Beast, the further it goes, the harder it gets. How is it that this little Dragon Turtle is condensing faster the further it goes?
Did you do something unspeakable behind the White Jade Turtle Shell?
The toad looked at Su He strangely, patting the turtle shell and acting old and wise, “Young man, cultivation should be down-to-earth. Advancing with the help of external objects is all illusionary, it’s hard to achieve the Dragon Turtle.”
Just like the Dragon Turtle from three thousand years ago, it didn’t properly experience its own hardships, always thinking about relying on medicine, wanting to find the Dragon Turtle ruins, and ascend to the heavens in one step. But in the end, it still only had sixty percent bloodline at its death.
The merfolk priestess on the side, slightly bowed to Su He, “Please wait a moment, Divine. My Divine left a record, which contains records related to the Dragon Turtle’s Tribulation Crossing. Your Tribulation Crossing is imminent. I will go and make a copy of the record, hoping it can help you in your Tribulation Crossing.”
She bowed and left with Jade Pearl.
The toad was stunned, Tribulation Crossing? You’re going to cross the tribulation? It looked at Su He in shock, “Your tribulation is coming?”
Su He nodded!
The toad was stunned for a long time, its old face blushing. That little priestess did it on purpose, right? I just said that relying on external objects can’t advance, and you’re about to cross the tribulation?
This slap in the face was loud and clear.
The priestess who had already walked away secretly revealed a triumphant smile. Even if it wasn’t her own Divine, she couldn’t stand a toad preaching to a Dragon Turtle.
Is there anyone who understands Dragon Turtle better than the merfolk?
The cultivation of Dragon Turtle’s bloodline is not the same as the cultivation of a cultivator’s realm, so how can it be considered illusory? The bloodline is fixed, once it’s condensed, it’s condensed, if it’s not, it’s not! Does it matter whether it relies on external objects or not?
Some Dragon Turtles are born pure-blooded, and they haven’t worked hard for a day. According to this logic, shouldn’t they be considered illusory?
You’re not even the Divine’s spirit beast!
Su He smiled and looked at the toad, “Officer Si, being trapped in the small world for so many years, haven’t you ever thought about going to other mystical realms? If you’re willing to go to the mystical realms, you should be able to escape from the small world, right?”
The shocked toad instantly became alert, jumping back three feet and looking at Su He warily, “Turtle boy, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, don’t get any ideas about me. I’m a frog that’s lived for thousands of years, and the reason my grade is so low is because I refuse to find a master!”
“I’m used to being free as a frog, and I absolutely won’t put a shackle on myself. If you want a spirit beast, when we get out, I’ll introduce you to some beautiful spirit beasts. I absolutely won’t acknowledge a master! Even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, it’s useless!”
I know what you’re thinking as soon as you open your mouth! Don’t beat around the bush, you’re coveting my body, you want me to be your spirit beast!
Sure enough, there’s not a single good thing among cultivators. When they see a spirit beast, the first thing they think about is how to tame it! After so many days, the fox’s tail is finally showing, right?
And you’re trying to lure me into the mystical realms. You probably haven’t even seen a mystical realm before. Which one can escape from where they entered the mystical realm, and still be there when they come out, how can they escape?
It kept a safe distance from Su He, retreating one step for every word it said, retreating further and further, until it disappeared with a flash, leaving only a voice, “I’m going to find the merfolk chief, to see how to get out of this big tomb space! I have to go back, or Yaya’s army will rebel.”
Feng Yaya sat on Su He’s turtle shell, giggling. She wasn’t afraid of the exotic beasts rebelling at all, whoever dared to rebel would be beaten, and if they rebelled again, they would be killed and eaten!
Not all exotic beasts have as many ways to beg for mercy as the wild boar.
Feng Yaya giggled, and then she stopped, sitting quietly on the turtle’s back. Her feet slipped out of the bird’s nest, kicking back and forth. After a while, she asked in a small voice, “Big Turtle, am I going to die?”She was not illiterate, she could read the words on the Bright Mirror. Yaya was childlike, her spiritual intelligence did not grow with age, but was in sync with her body, which was about three years old. However, after all this time, hearing and seeing so much, she naturally couldn’t be treated like a three-year-old child.
Su He paused, blew a bubble in the water, and laughed, “I am the Divine Turtle. Didn’t you hear the priest say? I am about to undergo the Tribulation Crossing. Once I cross the tribulation, I can meet my clan. What problem can’t be solved then? Your mother will be back soon too!”
Su Huanian must know about Feng Yaya’s condition. No matter how important things are in other major worlds, she would definitely rush back as soon as possible.
Next, he would double his cultivation efforts, trying his best to elevate his bloodline to the limit, cross the tribulation to become a Dragon Turtle. The world was vast and full of wonders, Su He didn’t believe there was no cure.
Feng Yaya didn’t speak, she didn’t look disappointed, she just stared at the starry sky almost obsessively. After a while, she suddenly said, “Big Turtle, Big Turtle, you are so good to me, do you want to be my daddy?”
Puff!
Su He coughed violently, spitting out two little silver fish that had swum into his mouth.
How was he supposed to respond to that?
Su He was not a cultivation novice, he had already understood the trial of the Mysterious Clear View, and why there was a plot involving Su Huanian…
There were many reasons for this.
Firstly, it was due to the bloodline. Basically, all beasts that awakened the divine beast bloodline had a common weakness!
Reproduction!
At least, this was the case for the Dragon Turtle.
The trial of the Mysterious Clear View targeted this weakness. Not to mention Su He, even if a pure-blooded Dragon Turtle went in, it would most likely face the illusion of lust.
And Su He was a transmigrator, his aesthetic taste was still 60-70% human – not every turtle was a White Jade Dragon Turtle, which was beautiful at first sight.
In his two lifetimes, there was not a single woman Su He had seen who could compare to Su Huanian.
Such a fairy. Not to mention Su He, any man who saw her would feel admiration and even self-deprecation.
It was only natural for Su Huanian to appear in the illusion.
Five parts admiration, five parts lust!
As for Su Huanian’s real body appearing in the illusion later… that was purely accidental!
Su He didn’t know how to respond.
But Feng Yaya had already started laughing, “Big Turtle, Big Turtle, you have to be careful, don’t let Mother find out. Otherwise, she will kill you with one sword.”
Su He: “……”
Too late!
