Green Snake really tilted her head and thought seriously.
“The moon?”
Su He: “…”
I was just asking. I can’t pluck it down. Stars are still doable, flying out of the Mysterious Wasteland, picking a small one to bring back is possible.
But the moon is truly beyond reach!
Green Snake chuckled, feeling that she might really need a moon! Not the actual moon in the sky, but an existence like a domain or a Dharma image.
Green Snake didn’t know if she had received any inheritance, without the memories of a legacy like the White Snake of the past.
She just inexplicably knew her own path of cultivation.
Tying the red thread, determining fates! When the bright moon appears, when it hangs high in the sky, fate is no longer limited to living beings.
It’s roughly like this:
You strike your opponent with a palm, and their Myriad Manifestations Tower falls deeply for you, no longer able to seal you.
You are peerlessly elegant, and the opponent’s Ten Directions Heavenly Thunder falls for you, unwilling to harm you in the slightest…
This isn’t fate, this is cause and effect, it’s a law!
Of course, this is just theory, like “as long as you’re strong enough, a punch can shatter time.” Whether it can be done is another matter, but it sounds impressive!
Green Snake briefly explained.
Su Huanian frowned slightly: “The Path of Incense Worship?”
It sounds like that. The Path of Incense Worship is too unpredictable, and serious Sects rarely choose it. Even if chosen, it’s only as a supplement.
How can cultivators entrust their path to the masses?
Green Snake shook her head: “It’s just that I can draw power from the ties of marriage, not that I must meddle with them. Even if I find a forest, where the Hundreds of Beasts mate, there are fates for me to draw from. And I can also absorb spiritual energy for cultivation! It’s not just about the power of fate.”
Su Huanian understood.
This ability has great potential, and the future is promising. It’s unknown if Green Snake will form a special race, but if so, the future of this race is immeasurable.
“I’m fine now, shall we go back?” Green Snake looked around and asked, leaving the corpse of the Teng Snake aside, still as fresh as it was two months ago.
The Teng Snake is dead, and that girl needs to hurry back to prepare for the next Transformation of Beasts, as there’s not much time left.
Her vision still lingered on the moment before the Teng Snake’s death.
Su Huanian smiled lightly: “The girl’s origin has been resolved, no need to worry. If possible, we should stay a few more days.”
The girl hatched, leaving the eggshell behind. The Dragon Turtle’s eggshell is peculiar, and now it’s actually absorbing the Dao Rhymes left by the predecessors.
This eggshell might be of great use to the girl. If possible, Su Huanian would like to wait until the eggshell has absorbed all the Dao Rhymes before leaving.
Green Snake looked at the eggshell, its aura too familiar. She looked at the eggshell, then at Su He, and for a moment seemed to think of something, her face blank.
“The girl… Dragon Turtle?” She looked at Su He. What have you done to the girl?
Su He proudly declared: “My daughter!”
Green Snake was silent for a long time, then shook her head and chuckled: “The girl really has good fortune.”
Dragon Turtle, ah!
Can it be artificially created?
After the surprise, Green Snake smiled: “I just need to consolidate my bloodline. It’s the same anywhere.”
After the Tribulation Crossing, the heavens and earth repair themselves, and with the Phoenix and Dragon Turtle preaching, the Dao Rhymes persist, making it the best place to comprehend the Dao.
A crescent moon rose, and the sky was dotted with stars. Green Snake coiled up, trapping half of her human body in the center, facing the new moon to practice breathing exercises.
Su Huanian also sat cross-legged, breathing to heal her injuries. She was severely injured this time, and after two months of recuperation, she had only just begun to manage her condition, temporarily suppressing the injuries.
It would take at least five or six years to heal.
For cultivators, who can fly through the skies and have long lifespans, injuries are not something ordinary people can understand.
Especially since healing cannot be done overnight; it requires a gradual process.
Su He, with his peacock body, stood on a branch, his body flickering with light. This was a sign of practicing the Gluttonous Eating Method. The Gluttonous Eating Method was originally just a technique. After achieving the Dragon Turtle, he chose to directly condense the seed of Divine Ability for the first time.
The technique of the Peacock True Body could be cultivated, and with the experience gained from the Dragon Turtle, cultivation was twice as effective. In just a few days, initial results were seen, and he could devour some low-grade treasures.
With a cry from the peacock, an illusory Gluttonous Dragon Head shot out, swallowing a pile of treasures prepared by the toad.
With its belly bulging, it perched motionless on the branch.
Moments later, the peacock leaped and landed, transforming into the true body of the Dragon Turtle.
True Essence cultivation requires revealing the true body; the Dragon Turtle’s true body can only cultivate Turtle Essence, and the Peacock’s true body can only cultivate Phoenix Essence.
True Essence cannot be cultivated in the background.
But the physical body can! After the Peacock True Body swallowed a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it transferred to the background to slowly absorb them, allowing Su He’s Dragon Turtle True Body to do many things.
His consciousness sank into the Daoist Temple, and like the toad, he selected Divine Abilities and techniques one by one.
This time, facing Feng Yiju, Su He had a serious problem: he had no means to reverse-slash the root source, unable to reverse-slash the natal stars.
Cultivators in the second realm of Traverse Heaven are undying in front of him. Grinding them to dust is useless.
Even if you keep killing, it’s impossible to exhaust a Traverse Heaven second realm cultivator to death. It only consumes the power of the natal stars, increasing the time needed for resurrection, and they become weaker after each resurrection.
That’s all, the undying remain undying!
Many Divine Abilities of the Dragon Turtle have the effect of reverse-slicing the root source, which can be attempted after the Dragon Turtle opens the heavens.
For example, the Thunder Law of Heavenly Execution! The Five Elements Divine Thunder, which can be inherited by all Dragon Turtles, uses Heavenly Execution to kill, directly slashing the root source.
But Su He was more optimistic about “Divine Attraction.” It’s not an offensive Divine Ability, but a supportive one. After inheriting it, Divine Attraction will guide the power of the world, subtly changing the Dragon Turtle’s body.
Afterward, every strike will have the effect of reverse-slicing the root source. However, this Divine Ability is difficult to advance, and before it is fully developed, the effect of reverse-slicing the root source is weak.
Children make choices, I want them all! Su He can now integrate two or three Divine Abilities into his body at the same time, and the resulting burden is still within the limit of endurance, no need to sleep.
The toad cooperated, pulling down Divine Abilities and techniques at the same time.
Divine Attraction ×3
Heavenly Execution ×4
Blood Curse ×2
The Blood Curse is the Dragon Turtle’s means of marking enemies, visible only to the Dragon Turtle. Once marked with the Blood Curse, even reincarnation cannot wash it away.
Three Divine Abilities merged into the body, Su He swallowed a few treasures, and slowly closed his eyes.
He didn’t fall asleep, just feigned sleep. At the same time, he contemplated the Barbarian King’s Refining World Technique.
The sounds of insects and birds were in his ears, the new moon and stars above his head, and he gently inhaled the delicate fragrance of Su Huanian mixed with the scent of grass into his nostrils.
A hundred miles away, a snowstorm raged, and the sound of snow crushing branches could be heard. It made this side seem even more tranquil.
In the middle of the night, Su He slowly opened his eyes, the toad leaning on him, nodding off little by little. Green Snake was still coiled up, and Su Huanian had already stopped meditating, reading a scroll by the moonlight.
Seeing Su He wake up, she subtly put away the scroll.
Su He, with sharp eyes, saw the words “Transformation of Beasts” on the scroll. It wasn’t the version adapted by Gu Luo, but the common version.
Su He’s eyes lit up, and he was instantly overjoyed.
Su Huanian paused slightly: “It’s just a cross-reference, for reference.”
I understand, I understand! Su He wasn’t foolish and didn’t dwell on this issue: “Senior Sister, what do you think about directly building the Daoist Temple and Cave Mansion in the chaos?”
We have to choose a place to suppress anyway, might as well carve out a Daoist Temple in the chaos. Chaos is quiet, and it can avoid a lot of trouble.
Su Huanian thought of Su He’s previous question about where she wanted to live, and her eyes showed a slight difference: “That’s also possible, peaceful and comfortable.”
Ordinary cultivators don’t have the ability to carve out a Cave Mansion in chaos, otherwise, given the cultivators’ aversion to trouble, they would have gone long ago.
Su He smiled: “Let’s carve out a sea in the chaos, Senior Sister is also of the water attribute, and cultivating in the sea will be twice as effective.”
The Sacrifice and Refine of the Ink Drop must be moved up the schedule, the carrier for the Open Heaven Divine Pen, it’s best not to rely on others.
Su Huanian glanced at him: “Good!”
Eh? Eh eh? Su He widened his eyes.
“What the hell? Stupid creature!” The toad’s voice rose in Su He’s heart.
…
The eggshell absorbed the Dao Rhymes quickly, and in just over ten days, it could no longer draw from them. The Flying Boat soared, and everyone returned to Dongyun Mountain.
In a dozen days, Heavenly Execution had not fully integrated, but Divine Attraction and Blood Curse had already merged.
Heavenly Execution had four points invested, not to speed up integration, which was extremely slow, but likely for power. Innate power ×4.
Leaving the place of preaching, the entire forest was covered in a silver-white blanket, as if it had jumped directly from summer into winter.
This was probably the last snow of this winter. In fact, according to the time, it was already spring, but the temperature had not warmed up much. However, after the big snow, it could not last, at most another two or three days, and it would melt away.
The further south they went, the more suitable the temperature became, and a touch of green bamboo came into view. There were bear roars coming from the bamboo forest.
When they could no longer see the snow and the world was a sea of green, that feeling that the whole world was welcoming him rose again.
Su He said to Su Huanian: “There is a hidden Cave Mansion here, does Senior Sister want to explore it?”
That Yin-Yang Jade Pendant of the Sun and Moon was still placed in the external void space.
The jade pendant is the key, very peculiar. When crossing the Tribulation, it was intended for the girl to temporarily manage, but the key could not be handed over. With the key on him, every plant and tree here welcomed Su He.
It seems that the Cave Mansion is not ordinary.
Su Huanian shook her head lightly: “It’s not appropriate to add complications at this moment.”
Su He had just crossed the Tribulation, Green Snake had just advanced her bloodline, and she was injured. It was not the time to explore the Cave Mansion left by cultivators. If they wanted to explore, they could wait until everyone’s realm was stable and injuries had improved.
Su He nodded and was about to leave on the Flying Boat when a joyful laugh came: “Master and Madam, you’re back?!”
Su He looked down and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a steward between the forests below, waving excitedly.
“Quick! Quick! The Master and Madam have returned from their travels, open the Cave Mansion, prepare the bath, slaughter chickens and cattle, to wash away the dust for the Master and Madam!”
“Xiao Si’er! Haven’t you docked the Master’s Flying Boat yet? Are you waiting for the Master to control it himself?” The steward shouted, and a servant suddenly appeared on the Flying Boat, kneeling and saluting joyfully: “Welcome the Master and Madam back to the mansion.”
As he appeared, the Flying Boat seemed uncontrollable, as if being pulled by something, struggling to fall to the ground.
With a clang of sword cry, Su Huanian’s Fairy Sword flew out, cutting the servant in front of her in two.
On the path of cultivation, when encountering the unexpected, there’s no need to hesitate, a sword strike is never wrong.
Soon another servant cheerfully boarded the Flying Boat, kneeling and saluting, his face full of joy: “Welcome the Master and Madam back to the mansion.”
It was the same servant, the same action, without the slightest difference. The corpse of the previous servant on the deck had no effect on him.
As if he couldn’t see it at all.
Weird!
“Roar!” With a roar of divine might from Su He, the servant and the steward on the ground exploded simultaneously.
But immediately after, another steward appeared, scolding behind him: “Xiao Si’er! Haven’t you docked the Master’s Flying Boat yet? Are you waiting for the Master to control it himself?”
Another servant happily boarded the Flying Boat, thumping his head on the deck: “Welcome the Master and Madam back to the mansion…”
