Chapter 54 – Xiaobaize


Ji Feixue gave it a glance but did not respond.

Sealing the scroll, it was the power of the Hakutaku Tower that was consumed. Did she expect her to pay for it? This was the benefit she deserved for jumping out of the Hakutaku Rankings.

Ignoring Hakutaku, Ji Feixue turned to the scroll, her phoenix eyes blinking slightly: “Qing Lei, can it actually be resurrected?”

Among the four Divine Beasts, the Kylin and Phoenix clans were still unknown, but the Dragon and Dragon Turtle each had their own talents. Some talents had even been revealed before they became Divine Beasts.

Just like Su He’s ability to duplicate himself, it was unreasonable! Meng Xuan’s ability to create a doppelganger was somewhat similar to hers. Gu Luo… that guy’s talent must be related to fate!

And Qing Lei, it could actually be resurrected! It had hidden itself well over the years.

Ji Feixue looked at the scroll again, the left side was clear at a glance, but the right side, apart from the talent, was blurred, as if stained by ink.

Ji Feixue glanced at Hakutaku, and Hakutaku immediately backed away: “Princess, don’t look at me. I only saw a bit more information than you, and what I saw, I can’t speak of.”

Demoness! Threatening me again, wait until I retrieve the legacy of the previous Hakutaku, when my Cultivation Level and state are at their peak, I’ll hang you up and beat you!

“You can’t beat me,” Ji Feixue chuckled.

Hakutaku immediately stomped its feet: “Mind reading!”

Ji Feixue smiled sweetly: “Look at you, do I need mind reading?” This new Hakutaku, compared to the old one, is amusingly stupid, with a gaunt tiger face that seems to speak, unable to hide any thoughts.

Hakutaku lowered its head and said nothing more.

It had only been born recently, and just after inheriting the memories of the previous generation, it was suddenly attacked by enemies, feeling somewhat off.

When it looked up again, it had become a stoic tiger, with no unnecessary movements. It took on a businesslike demeanor, calling upon its own quota to suppress the information about Qing Lei.

A rune from its body fell onto the Hakutaku Rankings.

On the scroll, two blue iron chains crisscrossed and bound, temporarily sealing and suppressing the news about Qing Lei.

The pattern on the scroll turned, and another Dragon Turtle appeared.

It was Gu Luo.

Ji Feixue raised her eyes to look, the left side was detailed, but the right side was completely stained by ink, only half of the information was visible:

Talent: Plunder…

The rest was unreadable due to the ink stain.

The higher the Cultivation Level and Realm of the beings listed on the Hakutaku Rankings, the more hidden the information on the right side. Ji Feixue couldn’t read it, and Hakutaku probably couldn’t read much more either.

Unless it fully inherited the memories and Cultivation Level of the previous generation and obtained the authority that Hakutaku originally had.

As Hakutaku sealed the message, Ji Feixue casually asked, “Who do you think the information on the right side of the Hakutaku Rankings is written for?”

After all, since the information was collected, someone had to read it.

The Hakutaku that sealed the scroll was instantly on high alert, turning its head to look at Ji Feixue: “Princess, I was just born, my mind hasn’t caught up, but I’m only slow to react, not stupid! If you want to know more information, go climb the Hakutaku Tower yourself.”

This Hakutaku had just been born, and memories of the previous generation were being infused into its mind every moment, a bit slow to react, but definitely not stupid!

Ji Feixue stopped talking, she wasn’t stupid either, why would she climb the tower for no reason? The higher you climb, the less freedom you have.

Hakutaku sealed the message about Gu Luo, flipped through the scroll, and stopped on a Dark Jade Dragon Turtle, which was Su He.

The left side detailed Su He’s numerous battles, against Zhu Yan, Flame Crow, Teng Snake, Feng Yiju, and even against Feng Yin in the chaos, all meticulously recorded.

The right side, however, was completely blank. Not stained with ink, but a blank space, with no records!

“This one is special, the news won’t automatically gather to the Hakutaku Rankings.” It looked up at Ji Feixue and said solemnly: “Even these battle informations were actively collected by my subordinates. This little Dragon Turtle is too barbaric, using either divine might or chaotic blades. To collect his information, several of my subordinates were lost.”

It took a step back, indicating that Ji Feixue could use her authority to seal the information.

But Ji Feixue did not move, only smiling with the corners of her mouth, looking at the Dragon Turtle on the scroll, as if she wanted to poke Su He’s forehead with a finger.

“He doesn’t need to be sealed either,” Ji Feixue said with a light smile. The little husband is too jumpy, his Cultivation Level isn’t high, but he’s had many experiences. Even if sealed, he would still cause trouble everywhere, the news can’t be hidden.

Not sealing? Hakutaku was stunned, looking at Ji Feixue with gritted teeth.

Demoness!

This clearly meant one less quota to use, but the first two quotas that were consumed were its own.

Hakutaku gritted its teeth, the scroll rolled, and landed on the page of Tai Zu. A wild and majestic aura seemed to rush out from the scroll.

The entire information was no longer divided into left and right, only one word was written throughout: Tai!

No need for redundancy, one name was enough to suppress the ages.

Hakutaku then looked at Ji Feixue, who chuckled lightly: “Does this one need to be sealed?” Not to mention whether it’s necessary, can you even seal it?

Moreover, is it important whether Tai Zu merges with Teng Snake or not? By the time he comes out of seclusion, even if you mark him as the first under the heavens, so what? Who dares to verify?

Hakutaku’s mouth gaped open in shock.

Intentional! This demoness was definitely doing it on purpose! Two messages that didn’t need to be sealed, its quotas could have been saved!

Hakutaku gritted its teeth in resentment, just about to flip through the scroll, but Tai Zu on the scroll opened his eyes, his gaze murky, looking like an old man with dim vision. He glanced outside through the scroll.

“Hakutaku has changed again,” he sighed, a common sigh, but to Hakutaku, it felt like a mountain pressing down on it, unable to move in an instant.

Its heart was filled with shock and awe.

The old ancestor of the Dragon Turtle clan, has he advanced? The unutilized Hakutaku Rankings was just an ordinary painting!

This was sensing someone unfolding his scroll, directly casting his gaze over.

Hakutaku trembled, barely able to bear it. It had been born too recently, the charm of the previous generation had faded, and facing such an existence, it couldn’t even pretend to be tough.

Advance! After today, no more laziness, immediately climb the Hakutaku Tower, merge with the previous generation’s Cultivation Level. Strive to reach the seventh layer of heaven within a thousand years, and return to the supreme position of the Divine Beast!

Hakutaku and other Divine Beasts were different, their cultivation was based on inheriting the legacy of the previous generation, so naturally, their cultivation speed could not be compared to ordinary Divine Beasts.

Tai Zu just sighed about the change of Hakutaku, then looked at Ji Feixue, even his chaotic eyes became a bit clearer: “Not bad!”

Tai Zu praised without context, and with a flash of his eyes, a rune fell in front of Ji Feixue through the scroll, then his eyes closed, and it returned to a simple painting.

The pressure on Hakutaku lifted. It took a deep breath, its eyes filled with even greater shock: “Tai Zu has become so powerful, in the future, if anyone from the Dragon Turtle clan is in trouble, just draw Tai Zu’s portrait and call for help, right?”

Ji Feixue looked at the Talisman in front of her, giving it a glance: “Tai Zu has never walked the path of incense and faith, what in the world can bear his portrait?”

He’s not a god or Buddha who solely follows the path of incense and faith, ordinary objects cannot bear the portrait of such an existence. Unless a special Longevity Plaque is Sacrificed and Refined, but those who can call for Tai Zu’s help are only from the Dragon Turtle clan. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to call for the old ancestor’s help in the Xuan Realm?

Hakutaku was stunned, paused for a moment, and stopped thinking about this problem. In the inherited memories, its mind indeed wasn’t working well.

It lowered its head again, manipulating the scroll, revealing the information of other Dragon Turtles.

Ji Feixue only glanced at it and lost interest.

Not to mention the Ancestors Huang and Hong, whose information was completely concealed, even the information about Zhu and Huai was incomplete. This had nothing to do with Ji Feixue’s Cultivation Level, it was because her authority in front of the Hakutaku Rankings was insufficient.

Two rays of light shot from Ji Feixue’s body, sealing the information about Zhu and Huai, then she stretched and stopped.

“Princess… not sealing anymore?” Hakutaku looked at her in astonishment.

Ji Feixue smiled and looked at it: “I don’t care anymore! I just remembered, this is a matter for the Dragon Turtle clan, I can’t bear to use this quota!”

Hakutaku was stunned, then suddenly realized, and became furious!

Demoness! Deceiving me of my quota!

The Dragon Turtle clan is advancing—As this generation’s Hakutaku, it naturally understands everything. The Dragon Turtle clan killed Teng Snake, although the slogan was only for revenge for the turtle offspring.

But it’s Hakutaku! How could it not know there must be a hidden reason?!

The advancement of the Dragon Turtle clan, perhaps the update of the Hakutaku Rankings, would attract prying eyes—Even thinking with hooves, it’s clear that the ones who will be spied upon are only the four Dragon Turtles Zhu, Huai, Luo, and Lei.

Su and He are too young, not worth spying on. The three above—as Ji Feixue said, whoever dares to spy, just go ahead.

Hakutaku looked at Ji Feixue with a resentful gaze, this demoness kept saying she would delay all Dragon Turtle Hakutaku Rankings, clearly coaxing its quota.

The memory of the previous Hakutaku, wasn’t it said that this demoness was crazy and her brain didn’t work well?

Hakutaku raised its head, looking at Ji Feixue with a resentful gaze: “Have you recalled the scattered memories and emotions?”

It’s unreasonable for the crazy Ji Feixue to still deceive it of its quota!

Ji Feixue looked over, smiling sweetly: “Are you discussing with me the methods to suppress Hakutaku?”

The scattered memories and emotions, indeed, are this demoness’s Achilles’ heel! Although the dragoness was joking, Hakutaku had no doubt that in the next moment, she would suppress it!

Hakutaku was instantly terrified, its head shrank, and it didn’t dare to open its eyes: “Can I admit my mistake?”

After a long while, Ji Feixue did not respond, and it slightly raised its head, only to see the territory empty with the wind blowing, Ji Feixue’s figure was long gone.

Hakutaku straightened its back.

“Pah!” The old dragoness has no martial ethics! The tens of thousands of years old Cloud Dream Marsh Princess, bullying it, a two-year-old Hakutaku.

Hakutaku turned its head, looking at the floating scroll. The horn on its forehead flashed slightly, and the scroll fixed on Su He’s page.

The previous Hakutaku had seen this Dragon Turtle return, and immediately entered extinction. Without injury or pain, without sickness or disaster, it voluntarily entered extinction, which meant it was hiding some earth-shattering secret.

Hakutaku is special—too special, from ancient times to today, every Hakutaku understands everything. Almost no secrets exist in the eyes of Hakutaku in the myriad worlds.

Knowing too much is also not a good thing—it’s easy to die!

Who knows how many beings fantasize about completely suppressing the Hakutaku lineage, if not for Hakutaku also having a few friends, perhaps every generation of Hakutaku would be suppressed before they could grow, always remaining in a juvenile state.

It was almost killed by someone a few days ago.

Fortunately, the location of the Hakutaku Tower is special, once it escapes back to the myriad worlds, no one can find this place—Ji Feixue is special, those who remove their existence from the Hakutaku Rankings can find this place.

But those beings won’t come out to suppress Hakutaku. The previous Hakutaku had a grudge with Ji Feixue. Ji Feixue didn’t kill it.

Hakutaku looked at Su He’s appearance on the scroll, tilting its head in thought.

What secret does this Dragon Turtle have that’s worth the previous Hakutaku entering extinction to seal?

Hakutaku was a bit curious, then retracted the scroll and turned into the Hakutaku Tower. It was time to properly inherit the memories and Cultivation Level of the previous generation.

The world is too dangerous, without improving Cultivation Level, it’s hard to even stay alive.

Although Hakutaku doesn’t care much about life and death, sometimes it really gets tired of living, and playing dead is not impossible. But it had only been born for two or three years, it wasn’t time to seek death yet.

If this generation could push the Cultivation Level forward a bit more, wouldn’t that also be more prestigious?

Hakutaku can perfectly inherit the Cultivation Level of the previous generation without any loss. After complete integration, it will reach the peak of the previous generation, and only then will it begin true cultivation. If it can advance further, in the future when it enters extinction, this Cultivation Level can be passed on to the next generation.

Even if it improves enough, when the next generation is born from its corpse, even their talent and potential can be enhanced.

As long as it can ensure that each generation surpasses the previous one, there will always be a time to dominate the myriad heavens.

Unlike other Divine Beasts, what Hakutaku pursues is not reproduction—Hakutaku always has only one, there is no situation of reproduction. What it pursues is to surpass the previous generation, to lay a solid foundation for the next generation.

Also, to guard the Hakutaku Rankings well!

Ji Feixue walked through the chaos, pondering.

Perhaps it was time to climb the Hakutaku Tower, inside the tower are the special memories left by the previous Hakutaku. But observing Hakutaku’s memories, bearing Hakutaku’s karma, many things become restricted.

What if you only want the memories, but don’t want to bear the karma?

Ji Feixue was annoyed.

Su He ran wildly, despising Qing Lei in his heart. A turtle of tens of thousands of years old, and it couldn’t take a joke!

Was it just teasing about being the weakest, and it actually slapped him into a spatial channel, smoothing out the entrance.

Now in front of Su He was Changyue Mansion, and behind him was the closing spatial channel. If he was a bit slower, he would be squeezed out of the spatial channel, and where he would fall, only heaven knew.

The water waves rolled beneath him, Su He crashed into Changyue Mansion, and the spatial channel closed, grazing his shell.

Barely not thrown out.

Inside Changyue Mansion, figures moved. A garden had risen by the lakeside. A comfortable and leisurely feeling came from Changyue Mansion.

It wasn’t the charm of Changyue Mansion itself, it was arranged by the Jiaoren.

This garden was created by the Jiaoren.The toad leaped out from between his brows, seeking praise and reward, “How about that? I released them from the minor world. Isn’t this garden great?”

Although Su He had refined the boundary stone of the minor world, the toad could control it just the same.

The soul beasts did not differentiate between their masters.

Su He nodded, quite pleased. Although it couldn’t compare to Ji Feixue’s underwater garden, it was still a delight to the eyes. The only issue was that the three hundred Jiaoren under his command were all at the Transcend Mortality realm, with the only one able to morph into a demon being the priest Long Min. His experience was indeed shallow.

Previously at Listening Sea Lake, he could still modify the formations set by Su Huanian to better suit him, but before Listening Sea Lake was completely built, it was gone.

Now, the formations set by the Jiaoren had basically no effect on Su He. It just felt more comfortable to stay inside.

He turned to greet a few uncles and ancestors, planning to send out some exchange students, picking a few Jiaoren youngsters to be sent to the uncles and ancestors for education.

Su He dove into the garden with the rolling waves.

The garden was situated by the mountain and water, with rivers connecting to the lake outside, its location vast, fully considering Su He’s size.

Besides the normal houses, there were basking rocks, diving spots, feeding areas… everything one could need.

Seeing Su He return, the Jiaoren bowed respectfully, forcibly suppressing the madness in their eyes, and slowly retreated.

Good followers would not be so enthusiastic as to discomfort the deity.

But his own deity, the Dragon Turtle, was really unreliable—who else’s Dragon Turtle would receive Jiaoren and then neglect them?

At the Dragon Turtle’s age, shouldn’t it be in a constant state of slumber, allowing the Jiaoren to worship it?

His Dragon Turtle hadn’t even crossed the Tribulation before accepting them, but to this day, he hadn’t had a single day of rest. He hadn’t even recognized all three hundred Jiaoren.

Fortunately, the deity now had a daughter. These days, the Jiaoren were excited beyond measure.

Two Dragon Turtles! Which Jiaoren tribe could worship two Dragon Turtles like they could?

Ya Ya leaped out from a room, her eyes shining at the sight of Su He: “Turtle Dad is back!” She ran over happily, spreading her hands as if it was only natural, “Did you bring me big shrimp?”

Su He: “…”

Suddenly realizing, as a father returning from a trip, shouldn’t he bring a gift for his daughter?

He had no experience in this!

Seeing his stunned look, Ya Ya knew the outcome and hummed with a pout.

Su He was immediately at a loss. The toad in his heart was taking pleasure in his misfortune, cackling with laughter.

Su He turned to glare at it, thinking resentfully, “I’ve failed in my duty, but what about you? You’re also a senior…”

Before he could finish, he saw the toad lift its belly pocket and pull out a small jade shrimp, tenderly placing it in Ya Ya’s hand, patting her hand and saying, “This isn’t for eating, but if you cook it with food, any food will taste like fresh shrimp…”

Ya Ya, who had been pouting, suddenly beamed with joy.

Fruit could taste like shrimp too?

She laughed and hugged Su He’s neck: “Thank you, Turtle Dad!”

The soul beast of Turtle Dad was naturally a gift from Turtle Dad, and she was very satisfied.

The toad looked at Ya Ya, then at Su He: “???”

Ya Ya came over and patted its head: “Good!”

Among the family, it was the only one short enough for her to pat on the head, even Mother’s azure bird was taller than her.

“Turtle Dad, yesterday Ya Ya saved a sister, one we’ve met before. She’s still unconscious in the room, Mother is trying to save her.”

Ya Ya stuffed the jade shrimp into her little pouch, hands on her hips, proudly seeking credit from Su He.

“Is that so? Ya Ya is the best!” Su He praised. After merging with the Dragon Turtle’s origin and becoming a Dragon Turtle, not only had Ya Ya’s size and shape become smaller, but her Spiritual Intelligence had also regressed somewhat.

Uncle Lei had looked at her and said it was normal; the previous loss of origin was too severe, and after merging, she was starting to grow from the age of two or three. Although her growth as a Dragon Turtle was slow, she wouldn’t fall into slumber at every turn like before.

It was a normal step-by-step growth, and one day she would grow into a big girl. Her Spiritual Intelligence wouldn’t remain like that of a three or four-year-old for sixty years as before.

Su He coaxed Ya Ya and walked into the garden courtyard. In front of a house, he looked through the door to see Su Huanian with slightly furrowed brows, looking at the unconscious woman on the bed, seemingly at a loss.

It was Qianqianzi.

They had parted ways before the spring. Now, she lay unconscious here.

Su Huanian had heard the noise outside. She removed the silver needles from Qianqianzi’s body, put them into a needle bag, and came out. She looked at Su He with a graceful smile: “You’re back?”

Su He nodded, gesturing towards the inside of the house: “What happened to Qianqianzi?”

Su Huanian shook her head slightly: “Yesterday, Ya Ya sneaked out of Changyue Mansion and saw her falling from the clouds. Ya Ya carried her back in an unconscious state, her soul gone.”

Qianqianzi had once been invited by Su He to cross the immortal realms to save Ya Ya. Although she hadn’t managed to take action, Su Huanian still remembered this favor.

After not seeing her for months, it was unknown what she had experienced.

“Toad!” Su He turned his head.

“I’m already asking!” said the toad. Compared to Su He, over the past year, the toad had been the one mingling in Qianjiang every day, familiar with everyone.

It had already jumped into Qianjiang, asking in the chat area.

Cu Hua: “Can Xing Chen come out!”

In the chat area, Daoist Xing Chen sent out a big question mark. The toad was impolite today.

Cu Hua: “Aren’t you traveling with Qianqianzi? How did she get injured and fall unconscious?”

Su He called Daoist Xing Chen a senior, but the toad did not. As for who was the senior in terms of age, it was still uncertain!

The toad sent an angry emoji and called out again: “What about Xiao Baihua?”

Qianqianzi’s soul beast was a sunflower-like soul beast.

Xiao Baihua didn’t speak; it wasn’t in Qianjiang, and even the consciousness body Qianqianzi left in Qianjiang had dissipated.

On the tank battlefield, tanks exploded in numbers, and two figures landed in front of the toad, speech bubbles floating above their heads: “Qianqianzi only traveled with us for a few days before leaving early for Tianxing Immortal Realm.”

The speaker was Nanming Zhenren. Beside him, Daoist Xing Chen had a solemn expression: “What happened to Qianqianzi?”

Before the toad could speak, a Dragon Turtle suddenly appeared, with a speech bubble above its head: “Her physical body is damaged, and her soul has left. Are the two seniors still in the Mysterious Wasteland? Su Huanian and I are not skilled in soul summoning.”

It wasn’t that they weren’t skilled; one was a sword cultivator and the other a brute, neither of whom basically knew how.

Nanming Zhenren nodded, and words appeared in the bubble: “I am still here. Young friend, tell me your location, and I will come immediately. If there is someone skilled in divination by your side, try to see if they can locate Qianqianzi’s soul. The divination cost will be reimbursed to the young friend when we meet.”

In this realm, the secrets of heaven were hidden, making divination accuracy extremely poor, yet the cost was frighteningly high. More importantly, aside from Bai Ling, Su He didn’t know anyone skilled in divination.

Bai Ling had long since perished and couldn’t help him with divination…

Thinking this, Su He’s eyes lit up; maybe there was a way!

Bai Ling had left three huge talismans on the inheritance shadow in the Sea of Inheritance, one of which involved divination. Su He couldn’t learn it, but Bai Ling’s message said that talisman could help him divine once a year.

He had never used it in all these years.
