Vol.2 – Chapter 55 – Bai Ling: Junior brother, go quickly, I’ll handle the pursuers


Su He’s massive Dragon Turtle body bobbed in the water, looking like a small man who had just achieved his ambition.

Kill the snake, strike at its heart.

He stared unblinkingly at the soaring snake, ready to strike a ruthless blow at any moment of its distraction. The giant snake had already dived underwater, waiting for the right opportunity.

The turtle’s back was merely an illusion formed by the water spray.

The soaring snake gasped, its tail slapping the surface of the Yellow Springs, causing the water to explode and space to shatter.

It must be Bai Ling, it must be!

If not for Bai Ling, why would it suddenly remember the Seven Extremes Secret Realm after tens of thousands of years? It had been trained here for a thousand years!

Bai Ling was always like this, calculating a thousand steps ahead. It must be her, otherwise, it would never call for the elders of its clan!

“Bai Ling!” The soaring snake roared again, its voice filled with heart-wrenching pain.

“Hey, hey~ I’m here!” A playful and slightly frivolous voice rang out.

“Who’s looking for me?” A figure as white as jade suddenly appeared at the boundary between the Yellow Springs and the vast sea.

She looked around and waved her claws at Su He: “Yo! Little brother, it’s been ten thousand years, I hope you’ve been well~”

She was referring to the time in the Dan Chamber world. More than ten thousand years? Su He couldn’t even remember how many years it had been.

She turned her head back to look at the soaring snake, tilting her head for a long time before she seemed to recognize it, and cheerfully said: “Oh, isn’t this the Moon Elder? Long time no see.”

The soaring snake, which had been roaring madly just now, stared at Bai Ling in a daze, its body shrinking into a quail, not daring to move even its wounds.

The Yellow Springs shrank back into its body.

The pupils of the soaring snake flickered continuously, its tail tip poking the ground hard, like a mouse seeing a wild cat.

It was her!

Absolutely no mistake!

Even if it turned to ashes, it would never forget this figure. It had already gathered a lot of courage to break through the White Turtle formation on the big lake.

But now the real Bai Ling was standing in front of it, alive!

The soaring snake lowered its head, motionless, its heart already shattered into pieces by Su He. The thunder and Luo who stole the Happy Death Tree were to blame!

It was Bai Ling!

Only Bai Ling!

Only she could defeat seven soaring snakes at the same time – the more Bai Ling took action, the easier it was, even seventy would be of no avail.

Bai Ling turned her head and said to Su He casually: “Eh, why are you standing there not running? Hurry up and run! You’ve completely angered this soaring snake, and no one can stop it when it bursts out in desperation.”

“This secret realm is about to break open, once the angry soaring snake recovers, neither this fairy’s sword nor your little Divine Ability can stop it, you will die!”

Su He: “……”

He glanced at the soaring snake, which was being praised by Bai Ling. It was curled up, revealing its terrifying wounds, looking pitiful.

But Bai Ling seemed not to see it, her eyes slightly squinted, staring at the soaring snake as if looking at something extremely dangerous, she took a deep breath, turned her head to Su He and said righteously: “Clan brother, leave quickly! I will hold off the soaring snake!”

Soaring Snake: “……”

Su He gave her a deep look, carrying Su Huanian and turned to leave.

He didn’t know what state the Bai Ling in front of him was in, but Bai Ling’s character was clear, she might say the most serious things in a joking manner, or she might talk nonsense with a straight face.

Su He couldn’t tell which of her words were true and which were false.

He hated this kind of mother turtle the most.

The Seven Extremes Secret Realm was becoming more and more broken, and through the cracks in space, the outside world could already be seen.

Su He carried Su Huanian and broke through the opening of the secret realm, soaring straight into the sky.

Below him, the places that had been damaged by the battles between the two clans had been repaired, with towering mountains and winding rivers. Although there were no living beings, this place was a sacred place for cultivation, where the ancient Luo collected chaos and directly transformed it. Once the aura of chaos was exhausted, it would be an excellent cave heaven and blessed land.

If Xuan Tian Gate did not build a branch, other major cultivation sects would surely be born here in the future.

Inside the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, the soaring snake was trembling, watching Su He disappear without daring to make any moves. It tried to speak several times, but couldn’t make a sound.

Bai Ling was lying on the ground, bored.

With Su Huanian’s departure, the thunder pool here was silent.

She liked the rumbling sound of thunder, like an explosion.

She looked around, looking at the broken Seven Extremes Secret Realm. The mission of the secret realm was completed, and so was her mission.

She tilted her head to look at the soaring snake.

By rights, she should kill it to avoid any accidents. But this soaring snake carried too much, and she was not willing to let its bloodline go without leaving it to the little Green Snake.

It was a pity that she couldn’t tell fortunes, otherwise, she would definitely have a good calculation.

Bai Ling thought so, and then one by one, white Jade Turtles crawled out of her body and headed towards the corners of the Seven Extremes Secret Realm.

These were the white turtles that had exploded in the lake.

With each group of white turtles crawling out, she shrank a little. The soaring snake was dumbfounded until Bai Ling shrank to the size of a chessboard, and then it exclaimed in surprise: “You are not Bai Ling!”

This was clearly a tool spirit, a kind of thought!

“Pah! Who said that?” Isn’t the thought left by Bai Ling also Bai Ling? Where did this soaring snake’s logic come from?

The soaring snake’s eyes lit up. It really wasn’t Bai Ling!

The real Bai Ling would never emphasize like this, she would just admit it happily, and then play a game with it.Bai Ling looked at the eager Green Snake, a playful smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. A laughing turtle indeed seemed a bit odd.

“Bang!” Bai Ling mimicked the sound.

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and the chessboard-sized Bai Ling split into three white turtles, crawling towards different directions. The entire secret realm was filled with countless white turtles.

Arranged in different formations, they formed a massive Formation.

She was going to blow up the secret realm!

The Green Snake’s pupils suddenly contracted, and with a roar, it spread its wings, ready to flee.

Just then—

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the Seven Extremes Secret Realm. It was blown up!

This secret realm had been refined into the sixty-four hexagrams, how could it leave any traces? The little white turtles were not just the waste left by Bai Ling, but were also used at this moment.

If someone else had entered before Su He, the entire place would have been destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

Fortunately, she had waited.

Her clan brother had taken the Dao foundation.

The violent explosion turned the entire secret realm into dust, leaving not even a trace behind. Only the Green Snake, battered and bruised, with only its skeleton left below its seven inches, survived. The pattern of the old man in the moon on its forehead emitted a faint glow, protecting it from death.

On the ruins of the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, a phantom image of a white turtle licked its lips. Ah! As expected, this was also calculated by the main body. I really can’t bear to let this snake die.

How could I let it die without turning the little Green Snake into a new bloodline?

But this injury… By the time it recovers, my clan brother could probably crush it, right?

After the explosion, the head of Xuan Tian Sect descended from the sky with a dark face. Looking at the earth that had been blown into a huge pit, his heart bled.

Who did this?

Dragon Turtle had just gathered the chaos to form mountains and lakes for cultivation, and the sect had just started to distribute the benefits, discussing how to divide this territory, when it was blown up!

Who dared to provoke Xuan Tian Sect?!

He pointed with his vermilion pen, and thousands of talismans fell, tracing back everything, determined to find out the truth.

But the trace back stopped at the explosion, as if the explosion had blown up the trace back itself.

The head of Xuan Tian Sect didn’t believe in this evil, and forcefully traced back with a wave of his pen.

The white light quickly retreated, and a scene appeared.

Here it comes!

I want to see who it is!

In the scene, a young man was being beaten by a white jade Dragon Turtle in a forest.

“If you dare to look again, I’ll break your legs!” The white jade Dragon Turtle looked down at the young man.

The head of Xuan Tian Sect’s face changed instantly.

The scene was familiar, a memory he had buried deep in his mind was displayed again.

This was eight thousand years ago, when he was young and curious about Divine Beasts. He secretly followed a Dragon Turtle, wanting to study it. But he ended up being taught a lesson by the Dragon Turtle.

Eight thousand years later, recalling it now, the Dragon Turtle that he didn’t find terrifying at the time, seemed more and more unfathomable as his Cultivation Level increased.

Now as the head of Xuan Tian Sect, knowing most of the secrets of the world, he of course knew who that white jade Dragon Turtle was.

A legend of the Dragon Turtle clan, an absolute legend among all Divine Beasts, demons, and humans.

He was indeed lucky back then! Even now, if he had the chance to meet that one again, he wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful.

That ability to calculate through the ages couldn’t be made up for by just increasing one’s Cultivation Level.

Was this place related to Bai Ling? Was it a new form of Orient Loong God?

Orient Loong God had changed from the orthodox Dragon Turtle form to a form with a snake coiled around it, which he had of course seen. Its power was even more terrifying.

Planning for thousands of years, for the further advancement of the Dragon Turtle clan?

If so, this matter had nothing to do with Xuan Tian Sect. Whether the Dragon Turtle clan could advance further or not, Xuan Tian wouldn’t get involved. Whether they advanced one step or ten steps, Xuan Tian Sect didn’t care.

As for this cultivation holy land, he would ask Orient Loong God to compensate for it later.

……

……

Su He was lying on a Flying Boat, looking in the direction of the Seven Extremes Secret Realm. The world-ending explosion was clear to anyone who wasn’t blind.

What stirred up a huge wave in his heart was a faint, playful voice that came with the explosion: “Save me~”

It was Bai Ling, definitely Bai Ling!

He looked at Su Huanian and the toad. The Fairy was standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the explosion, her clothes fluttering in the wind. The toad backed away and stood on a barrel, its two short hands on the side of the boat, its mouth wide open, also watching.

His heart was bleeding!

What a prodigal son of the Dragon Turtle family! Such a good secret realm, with a world inside, was just blown up?

The Fairy and the toad didn’t hear the cry for help. Su He’s breathing became erratic. He grabbed the toad and threw it into the Xuan Realm.

“What are you looking at! Send the thunder and lightning!” The thunder and lightning collected by Su Huanian had been sealed and given to the toad.

Now that they had left the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, they could connect to the Xuan Realm. But there was a problem with Su He’s consciousness in the Xuan Realm, as if a piece had been cut off, making it incomplete. Su He couldn’t descend his consciousness there, so he needed the toad to repair it.

“Find Uncle Luo, Uncle Lei, Uncle Huai, whoever is there, go find them now!” Su He murmured in the toad’s mind.

The toad didn’t respond. After a while, Su He’s consciousness sank a bit as the toad forcefully pulled out a strand of it to supplement the lack in the Xuan Realm.The consciousness of the Basalt Realm was rebooted.

“Hmm?” The consciousness of the Basalt Realm woke up and noticed the changes in the realm. A massive rune stretched across the sky of the Basalt Realm, sealing it off completely.

The rune looked like a big-headed doll, with an unknown talisman beneath it that Su He couldn’t recognize.

It was the Tai Hexagram of the ancient Tai Ancestor!

Something happened?

Su He let out a long chant, but there was no response.

The croaking sound of a lone frog echoed.

“Stop calling, there are no turtles in the Basalt Realm, not a single one. They left you a message.”

Su He looked over and saw a dragon and phoenix talisman on the crystal jade bi. A unique cough-like chant from Uncle Huai echoed as he gently poked it.

Kid, your uncles and ancestors have gone to fight. Stay in your little world and don’t run around. If anything happens, go find Yun Mengze Ji Feixue or Xuantianmen Qingcang. That green eel owes us a favor and dares not refuse to help.

The Dragon God Festival has already registered for you. If you really don’t want to go, you can ask Princess Chang to withdraw. If you get beaten up, remember to beg for mercy in an interesting way.

Su He: “…”

The whole clan is mobilized. Is this a fight? It’s a war!

What kind of enemy is so powerful?

A thought rose in Su He’s mind: Did they go to save Bai Ling?

Previously, Luo and Lei were just outside the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, separated by a wall. The Teng Snake they killed would appear in the fire room, obviously, they were connected.

Did Bai Ling ask her clan uncles for help?

Obviously, asking for help from the elders is more reliable than asking Su He. She was so pretentious, not allowing the elders to enter her grave, nor the Seven Extremes Secret Realm.

Such a tsundere!

Meanwhile, in a space filled with chaotic currents, five Dragon Turtles advanced hand in hand, suddenly blasting open a hidden space.

A long chant echoed.

“Mud eel! You’ve been hiding for three hundred thousand years, it’s time to come out and breathe!”

This was the lair of the Teng Snake, hidden for three hundred thousand years. After leaving the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, Lei went directly to the Tai Ancestor, who personally checked Lei’s Basalt status.

It couldn’t be better!

This form was indeed more suitable for the Dragon Turtle.

For three hundred thousand years, the Dragon Turtle had never actively sought trouble with the Teng Snake, unless it was really bored. Why bother with something that was hard and unrewarding?

Just occasionally pay attention.

Kill it if you encounter it, if not, let it be.

However, the Teng Snake could increase the Dragon Turtle’s combat power and cultivation level by thirty percent, which was enough to drive the Dragon Turtle mad!

Little Bai Ling somehow calculated this state, the method of refining the Teng Snake and Dragon Turtle into one, and had already given it to Lei.

Relying on the Happy Death Tree, they could find the lair of the Teng Snake. How could they not take such a deal?

Countless merfolk surrounded the space of the Teng Snake, setting up a large formation to prevent the Teng Snake’s family from escaping. The Tai Ancestor quietly suppressed the extreme.

The Teng Snake clan also had two old antiques that had lived for a million years, and it came to plunder the formation.

Today, the Teng Snake clan might not be extinct, but all the Dragon Turtles must advance!

The word “beast” is also in the term “Divine Beast”. The continuation of the race and the advancement of the bloodline surpass everything!

……

……

The Flying Boat had already left the range of the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, but as long as they looked back, they could see the sky torn apart by the explosion of the Secret Realm, like a black hole. Even in broad daylight, they could see the stars through the hole.

Su Huanian was controlling the Flying Boat, moving at an extremely fast speed. She left a trail of afterimages as she flew, while simultaneously casting runes to erase their tracks.

The Flying Boat was aimless, heading east one moment and south the next. Even they didn’t know where they were going, let alone any pursuers predicting their destination.

Su He was a bit puzzled. They clearly won, so why were they the ones running away?

Could the Teng Snake survive such an explosion? Unless Bai Ling let it go!

He looked at Su Huanian, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back and said, “You should try harder. You couldn’t protect me after just one year. Won’t I have to protect you after another year?”

Su Huanian: “…”

The Fairy didn’t speak. The slender hand controlling the Flying Boat trembled slightly, and the other hand holding the Fairy Sword clearly tightened.

Su He couldn’t control the Flying Boat, so he lay on the deck and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn’t tell Su Huanian that the Dragon Turtle clan had all gone to fight. Gu Luo promised that once he finished revising the Beast Transformation Chapter, he would definitely keep his word.

Su He’s consciousness sank into his body, slowly moving to his lower abdomen. The bead in his lower abdomen slowly rotated, generating turtle elements more intensely than before.

The bead was located in a place similar to the Dantian. Not all of the generated true essence was attributed to the meridians and acupoints, but instead surrounded the bead, forming a sea.

The bead seemed like a planet floating in the sea.

Su He’s consciousness sank into the bead, which was still filled with a mysterious yellow color, but now there was a towering mountain. The mountain was surrounded by hexagrams that occasionally flickered.

The most obvious was the Heng Hexagram, which resonated with the Heng Hexagram in Su He’s body. Each time it circled and flickered, it solidified a bit more, as if it was absorbing or replicating the Dao rhyme of Su He’s Heng Hexagram.

Sixty-four hexagrams surrounded the mountain, with waterfalls and springs on the mountain, but what flowed inside was pure true essence. The waterfall flowed down, merged with the rivers on the mountain, flowed to the foot of the mountain, and disappeared.

The bead slowly exhaled a strand of pure true essence.

This mountain was Su He’s Dao foundation. Concentrating his thoughts, he could see inside the mountain, where eight hexagrams rose and fell. These were the most basic eight hexagrams.The Bagua did not extend beyond the mountain, only coalescing within it.

Looking at the mountain, Su He understood his method of strengthening his cultivation base and condensing his Dao artifacts. He would seek out the sixty-four hexagrams to absorb and comprehend, or rely on his own understanding of each hexagram, painstakingly cultivating the sixty-four hexagrams to perfection.

The hexagrams on the mountain were like seeds.

If he were to cultivate on his own, the time required would be terrifyingly long.

Taizu had already ranked within the top thirty on the Hakutaku list, even among the topmost ranks. Despite having obtained the Tai hexagram for countless years, he still hadn’t fully understood it, with only half of the Tai hexagram restored.

What more for the sixty-four hexagrams?

Su He was prepared to spend a million years on this.

He just didn’t know how many hexagrams he needed to condense to open the heavens once. If he needed to condense all sixty-four hexagrams to open the heavens…

He might as well not bother with this mountain!

The mountain was serene, with the hexagrams slowly coiling around like a dragon.

Su He’s cultivation level was constantly increasing.

Turtle Yuan was not only true yuan, but it was also constantly strengthening his physical body.

The Heng hexagram was continuously spewing out the world’s origin, which fell into the Jizhu hexagram mountain, constantly strengthening his cultivation base. The space opened up by the cultivation base was expanding bit by bit.

The intuition of the Divine Beast told Su He that the larger the space stretched before opening the heavens, the better.

If the world within the Jizhu was also a world, the space stretched out by the cultivation base was truly a piece of innate space.

It was the legendary fairy world, the divine world!

After absorbing two tribulations of the heavenly tribulation, the Heng hexagram still had enough stored origin. But once it was exhausted, he would have to find a way to advance like this again.

The spiritual power drawn from ordinary breathing was far inferior to the world’s origin.

Only by opening the heavens in chaos and suppressing the newly born land could one obtain it. This was also why the Divine Beasts were willing to help the great world expand its territory.

When the Dragon Turtle clan returns, he would consult them and prepare for the choice of suppressing the land in the future.

Su He slowly opened his eyes. The Flying Boat had landed outside a large city. It was a mortal city, with a population of no less than a million.

There were also cultivators’ auras, but they did not show any exoticism, just living in seclusion here.

“Hide in the city and rest for two days,” Su Huanian said softly.

After subduing the Thunder Pool and going through a battle, she had to leave in a hurry, with her true yuan in turmoil. She needed to recuperate.

Su He consciously used Snow Concealment to hide his figure.

A man and a turtle walked into the city.

“Is Yaya okay?” Su He asked. Su Huanian’s soul beast was in the White Spirit World, she must know the situation inside.

Su Huanian was putting on her bamboo hat and covering her face with a veil, just like her attire in the illusion.

Hearing Su He’s question, she chuckled, “She’s fine.”

More than fine, if they returned a few days later, that girl would be crowned emperor and become the Empress of the Exotic Beasts. The next time they met, she would have to be revered as the Empress Dowager!

At this moment, Feng Yaya was arguing with Green Snake about the title of Emperor and Empress Dowager.
