Crack!

A bolt of lightning.

A long-tailed toad leaped up, cursing loudly, “Struck me again! Struck me again!”

Can’t you see that huge turtle? Only striking me?

These words seemed familiar.

Su He felt that if it weren’t for the heavenly tribulation, the toad might have ended up as Feng Yaya’s spirit beast. Besides smoking, they shared too many common hobbies.

He stretched his limbs out from the turtle shell, moved his body a bit, and continued to move forward.

Something was off about this valley.

His body had shrunk from six meters to three meters, and the toad had even grown a tadpole tail, green with a hint of pink.

As if time was flowing backward!

The toad, smoking, leaped up and sat angrily on the turtle shell.

Something was wrong with this valley. Even if it became ethereal, it would still be struck by lightning. If it continued to move forward, it felt like it would turn into a pink tadpole.

Don’t want to be a tadpole, that was a very bad memory!

Su He also felt that if he continued to move forward, something would happen!

He could feel himself becoming increasingly young, his body seemed to be reversing time. He wasn’t going to turn back into the grass turtle he once was, he had already crossed the tribulation and become a Dragon Turtle. No one had the power to make him regress.

Not even Su He himself.

He felt that if he continued to move forward, he would turn into an egg! A Dragon Turtle egg!

“It should just be an illusion.” The toad seemed to be encouraging itself. “No one can reverse time, no matter how high their cultivation level is, time is a forbidden area for cultivators.”

At most, it would be a state-based technique, which could be easily resolved by any Dragon Turtle.

Now the most important thing was to understand the structure of the secret realm, get the core of the secret realm, and leave immediately.

The toad jumped off the turtle shell, wagging its tail and lying on the ground, observing a dead flying fish on the ground. There was a pile of dregs next to the flying fish.

Just like the dregs left over from alchemy.

As time passed, the scent of the dregs became more and more obvious. There were already signs of the dregs turning back into semi-finished medicine.

If this valley could really reverse time and turn the dregs back into herbs, then the Dragon Turtle clan would be rich. Just relying on this valley, they could become the number one clan in all the heavens and realms!

But there were no new plants around, just a bare piece of land. The dead flying fish didn’t come back to life either.

The toad was more certain than ever, this was definitely not time reversal.

A bolt of lightning struck down, turning the semi-finished medicine dregs into ashes. In a short while, the ashes were reversing back into the state of medicine dregs.

Endless!

A turtle and a frog hurriedly moved forward. The valley was not long, only half a day’s time, and they could already see the valley entrance ahead.

Outside the valley entrance was a patch of yellow earth, which was not very clear through the thick fog.

Just as they were about to take a closer look at the yellow valley entrance, it rotated away like a revolving door, and a black valley entrance was cut over.

Then, wriggling, erupting.

A group of flying fish were ejected, rushing into the valley like they were escaping, rushing towards the lake like a flood. These flying fish were not carrying white turtles, but all kinds of waste!

The flying fish were shivering, as if they were carrying flood beasts.

The waste was emitting a foul smell, and the flying fish that were a little slower were polluted by the waste and fell down, bouncing a few times on the ground, and died.

“Hold your breath and close your eyes!” The toad didn’t even bother to become ethereal, it just crashed into Su He’s Sense Realm and didn’t come out again.

Su He suddenly retracted into his turtle shell and didn’t move. This flood of flying fish gave him a very bad feeling, like encountering a pollution truck carrying chemical waste.

The flood rushed past, its speed was astonishing.

After a while, there was a loud explosion from the direction of the lake, the sound was far greater than the explosion when outsiders broke in.

That white turtle was not a guardian of the secret realm, but a means of dealing with waste!

There were continuous roars from the direction of the lake. The roars were filled with painful screams, extremely miserable.

It was unbearable to hear.

After the flood, the valley was full of dead fish, and lightning was crackling down from above, each bolt turning the fallen waste and dead fish into flying ashes.

The flying ashes were reversing back into waste, but were struck again. The cycle repeated, and the waste became less and less.

The toad crawled out of Su He’s Sense Realm with an unhappy face, and a bolt of lightning struck above its head.

Its face became even worse, turning green and red, like a poisonous frog.

So, the lightning kept striking it and not the Dragon Turtle, treating it as waste?

What happened to the spirit beast and its master being one?

The toad gritted its teeth.

But it saw Su He lying on the ground, shivering. The external appearance of Turtle Mountain slowly emerged on his turtle shell. Unlike before, there was now a rusty, dilapidated alchemy furnace.

Su He shivered, and let out a long howl to the sky.

“Ang!~”

Water waves surged from under him, lifting him high up. His Divine Ability was back!

That flood seemed to have activated something, and the secret realm no longer restricted Divine Ability.

Divine Sense could be released, and only then did Su He truly feel how fast the Jade Turtle Shell was recovering here!

The invisible energy around him was nowhere to hide under his Divine Sense, and had already formed a vortex, constantly pouring into the Jade Turtle Shell.At this moment, the White Jade Turtle Shell had not fully recovered, but it was not far off.

It had even begun to drive the turtle element within Su He’s body, helping him to advance in his cultivation once again – this was the primary function of the White Jade Turtle Shell.

The Divine Ability seed stored in the Sense Realm was rapidly assimilating into his body.

…

On the lake, two battered serpents struggled to swim out from the center of the explosion.

The explosion caused by the White Turtle was not powerful, but there were too many of them. Anyone who encountered a swarm of wasps would kneel in defeat.

The two serpents glared at the small white spirits scattered across the lake, gritting their teeth in anger. This damned place had forbidden the use of Divine Abilities, otherwise, no matter how many explosions there were, they wouldn’t have been able to harm them!

And that teleportation talisman, which damned bastard set up this trap? They were bombarded to the point of unbearable pain, and in desperation, they rushed into the talisman, only to find out – it was a fake!

Damn it!

It wasn’t a talisman at all! It was just a fake carved on the invisible lotus!

If it weren’t for those talismans, how could they have fallen into the water and been blown up like this? How could they have been ambushed by a school of flying fish? The moment the White Turtle came into contact with the waste sent by the flying fish, it immediately exploded, turning the waste into a cloud of dust.

The dust fell into their wounds, its corrosive power was terrifying! Most of the injuries on their bodies were from corrosion.

The serpents were not known for their physical strength, but for their Divine Abilities.

Hearing the long chant of the Dragon Turtle from the valley, the two serpents became even more enraged.

Dragon Turtle! Whelp!

Kill!

For three hundred thousand years, the serpent clan had ingrained a concept into their bloodline:

If a serpent dies, it’s the Dragon Turtle’s doing!

If a whelp dies prematurely, it’s the Dragon Turtle’s doing!

If the mother serpent is infertile, it’s the Dragon Turtle’s doing!

No matter what happens, blaming the Dragon Turtle is never wrong.

So, the trap – set by the Dragon Turtle!

Who cares about the truth? The serpents only need to understand! The two serpents flapped their wings, taking advantage of the fact that most of the White Turtles had just exploded and had not yet recovered, they darted across the lake in an instant and plunged into the valley.

Then – pia!

With two crisp sounds, the two serpents were directly pulled down by the ban on flying and smashed hard onto the rugged ground.

Lightning struck them incessantly.

Judging by the joyous intensity of the lightning, it seemed to carry some personal grudges.

…

Su He and the toad proceeded cautiously. The Divine Ability had returned, but they still couldn’t fly in the canyon, and the rolling waves carried them forward.

The entrance to the canyon rotated again, changing to another one. The thick fog still obscured their view. This canyon was like a moving corridor, with the room at the end constantly changing.

The toad dematerialized its body and went in first to scout.

If there was danger, Su He was nearby and could pull it back in an instant – if this place didn’t cut off the connection to the Profound Realm, it could jump into the Profound Realm at the first sign of danger, and then reappear next to Su He.

These secret realms and forbidden lands were annoying in this regard, often severing the connection between soul beasts and the Profound Realm.

The toad left the valley and entered the unknown space, silent for a long while.

It wasn’t until a long time later that it exclaimed in surprise in Su He’s mind: “Turtle Grandpa!”

It wasn’t that it had encountered danger, but that it had seen something that left it astonished.

Su He was swept out of the canyon by the rolling waves.

He was immediately stunned by the sight before him.

Above his head was a pot-bottom-shaped metal base, seven enormous serpents were bound by iron chains that pierced the heavens and earth, imprisoned under the metal plate, with flames burning on their bodies, licking the bottom of the pot.

A primitive aura emanated from the seven serpents, making it difficult to breathe.

These were seven adult serpents!

Any one of them could kill Su He millions of times with just the tip of its tail.

The master of this place was using the serpents as fuel, burning something.

The serpents were already dead, leaving only their skeletons, but the skeletons were still burning, as if they wouldn’t stop until they were reduced to ashes.

Yet, despite the towering flames, there was not a trace of heat.

A pill furnace!

Both the toad and Su He turned to look at the rusty pill furnace on his turtle shell.

They had been studying it for a while, but they couldn’t figure it out. This pill furnace was just embedded on Su He’s Turtle Mountain. Essentially, it was an external manifestation of the White Jade Turtle Shell.

It belonged to the White Spirit!

The toad tapped on the turtle shell, a look of realization on its face, and muttered to itself: “The entrance to the secret realm, the lake, the canyon, the space that switches at the mouth of the valley… Could this secret realm be a pill furnace?”

It looked at Su He: “Did we enter from the waste outlet of the pill furnace?”

Su He shook his head, he didn’t understand alchemy. He had only attended a few pill classes at the Leaving South Court of the Qingyuan Sect, and the most memorable thing was a sentence from the instructor of Evergreen Peak: “Alchemy is the world!”

Well, if this place really was a pill furnace, perhaps he wasn’t wrong. The White Spirit could turn a secret realm into a pill furnace, and it could turn a world into a pill furnace!

“If this is a pill furnace, then this is the fire chamber – let’s get out!” The toad immediately said.

The fire chamber is an extremely important part of the alchemy furnace. The absence of heat at this moment doesn’t mean it’s always absent. The temperature control in alchemy, the cold and heat, the icy chill, all move according to one’s will. Perhaps this is the cold pill period, once the fire starts, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Su He immediately retreated.

Exiting the fire chamber and returning to the canyon, a turtle and a frog sat quietly at the mouth of the valley, unsure of what to do. They dared not enter the fire chamber, and it was impossible to go back, as they would run headlong into two soaring snakes.

“There’s no scent of Su Huanian here. If she’s not in the alchemy furnace, where could she be?” Su He asked.

“Perhaps in the pill chamber?” If it’s an alchemy furnace, naturally there would be a fire chamber and a pill chamber, and perhaps even a water trough, a cooling chamber, and a fuel inlet.

The frog suspected that the core of the secret realm mentioned by the soaring snake might be in the pill chamber, and it might even be the pill being refined.

As they spoke, the eyes of the turtle and the frog lit up simultaneously.

The waste outlet!

The space that had just ejected waste must be connected to the upper alchemy area. As long as the waste was ejected again, they could rush in against the torrent of waste and should be able to reach the upper level.

Convinced of their idea, the two lay at the mouth of the valley, quietly waiting. Time ticked away.

Outside the secret realm, in the battle space, the space here was already severely damaged, nearly shattered. The stars above had turned into a towering mountain, suppressing everything. On the ground, there was no longer any lightning, but a quiet flow of thunder plasma, causing the space to collapse wherever it passed.

Of the seven soaring snakes, only three and a half remained, hanging on the joy-death tree and roaring, while watching the two Dragon Turtles. The malicious intent in their eyes had solidified into substance.

Their intention to keep the Dragon Turtles outside the secret realm had been achieved, but not in the way they had hoped.

If what the young ones brought back was not an inheritance related to the divination ability of the White Spirit, the soaring snake clan would suffer a great loss.

This was no longer just a crippling blow.

This was a disaster that could wipe out their clan!

The clan’s treasure, surprisingly, couldn’t completely block these two Dragon Turtles…

The thunder in the thunder plasma slowly turned around. Just a moment ago, it had felt a change in the secret realm. The three and a half soaring snake corpses that it had killed and left behind were gone!

They had been sucked into the secret realm.

That little girl, White Spirit, had actually laid various traps around the void of the secret realm. She wanted these soaring snake corpses!

She was using them to hunt the soaring snakes!

Thunder laughed, turned around and roared, madly charging towards the soaring snakes.

Although he didn’t know what White Spirit wanted to do, if she wanted it, he would give it to her!

If his child could survive, what would it matter if he had to give up the world?

Uncle, fight the world for her!

…

Su He slowly stood up, the space behind him had changed. It was no longer the fire chamber, nor the waste outlet. The frog went in for a round and found it was the cooling chamber, the place to lower the furnace temperature. The temperature inside had even frozen the ethereal frog.

If he hadn’t pulled it out quickly, it would now be an ice frog.

In front of them, lightning fell like rain, and two soaring snakes slowly slid over under the rain.

They didn’t know what they had been through, their bodies were completely damaged, the wings of the two soaring snakes were half broken. Their bodies were ragged, their ribs were exposed, and even their internal organs were flowing out.

The damaged areas were like being cursed, pitch black and stinking, and the lightning was striking their wounds.

The world was so cruel, the more injured they were, the more they were targeted.

Two snakes and a turtle looked at each other, and at the same time launched an attack on each other. There was no need for words, the hatred engraved in the two races had long turned into a blood curse, they would not stop until death!

“Roar!”

Su He roared with divine might.

His domain instantly unfolded, and in an instant, the canyon turned into a vast sea. Above his head, thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind and rain were heavy. Below him, the ocean waves surged.

Su He had a domain, but not many fancy operations. However, the basic ability of the domain didn’t require him to operate. This was a passive ability.

All-round enhancement for oneself, stronger attacks, faster recovery; restrictions for the enemy, all attributes simultaneously reduced.

Even a slight difference could be the basis for a turnaround.

The two soaring snakes were rolling in the vast sea, roaring and howling. Their faces were full of unwillingness!

In the same place, why were the Dragon Turtle’s divine abilities and domain unrestricted, while they could only crawl and bite like ordinary snakes?!

The two soaring snakes flapped their wings, shuttling through the vast ocean, twisting towards Su He.

Su He roared, lifted his claws, and a tsunami rolled out, smashing into the soaring snake. The soaring snake twisted its body, shattered the tsunami, and rushed towards Su He without slowing down.

They were not good at close combat, but that was relative to themselves and divine beasts of the same level.

Little Dragon Turtle, you’re too young!

Su He roared, and the heavy rain above his head gathered, instantly turning into hail – Divine Ability, Water Phase!

However, the hail did not fall, but quickly condensed in the air. In a moment, it had gathered into a mountain. A mountain of ice floated above his head.

The soaring snake shattered the waves and rushed over, at the same time opening its mouth and roaring towards Su He. It was so fast that even Su He could only see the afterimage.

Their level was much higher than Su He’s.Just as the soaring snake lunged forward, the massive Dragon Turtle in front of him vanished into thin air, completely disappearing from sight.

Three miles away on the surface of the sea, Su He suddenly appeared.

Divine Ability, Divine Machine!

The only spatial skill that Su He mastered – the External Space, was not counted.

The two snakes roared and turned around, but at this moment, an iceberg thunderously fell from above.

A thousand pounds!

With the water element, a thousand pounds is not just raindrops, it can be hail, snow, anything!

An iceberg transformed into a thousand-pound Divine Ability, further enhanced by the domain, thunderously smashed onto the two soaring snakes.

The polluted blood instantly dyed the sea red.

……

The following words are revised and newly written, free: Today, I have completely handed over my work. Originally, it was supposed to be on Thursday, but I strongly requested to work overtime and finish it ahead of schedule. So I came back late and wrote fewer words. For the next two months, I will be resting, writing full-time, full-time for two months. Starting tomorrow, I will update 8000 words normally, and there will be sporadic bursts. If I’m in a good state, there will be a burst.
