Vol.1 – Chapter 042 – Delusion


Su He opened his eyes, confirmed the direction, and swam towards Jing Shui Mountain.

Jing Shui Mountain is very suitable for aquatic creatures.

There is a river flowing through, which is divided into countless branches by the mountains, forming a network that connects the mountains and the water. The water extends to various parts of the Qingyuan territory. Basically, there is a river under each mountain top, and there are lakes where the rivers meet.

Jing Shui Mountain is far away, but fortunately Su He’s speed has increased exponentially. Especially after using spiritual power.

At this moment, there is a ribbon-like water flow under Su He, carrying him through the waves. Su He is swimming in this water flow.

It’s like walking on a conveyor belt. While the speed soars, it becomes easier.

Su He multitasks, swimming, controlling the water flow, and pondering the seventy-two silver needles given to him by Su Huanian.

The silver needles are just ordinary magical instruments, but they are extremely hard and easy to control. Just control one of them, and the rest will dance like a swarm of bees.

Su He’s claws can’t hold embroidery needles, but his water manipulation divine ability can.

After eating three Enlightenment Pills, his spiritual power skyrocketed, and his control over the water flow became more precise.

Especially the water flow condensed by the water manipulation divine ability, it is like a part of his body, easy to control, and he can even input spiritual power into the water flow, greatly increasing its power.

When buried in the silver needles, they become invisible killers.

After about an hour, Jing Shui Mountain faintly appeared in sight.

Outside Jing Shui Mountain, Lu Ming sat cross-legged by the river, with a lonely cup of wine and an ancient qin in his arms. After finishing a song, he said loudly, “Divine Turtle, why not show yourself?”

Su He hasn’t arrived yet.

Lu Ming wasn’t disappointed when the turtle didn’t appear. He drank another cup of wine and played another song. After the song ended, he smiled lightly, “A distinguished guest has arrived, why not show yourself? Could it be that my music is too crude and cannot enter your ears?”

Su He is still swimming on his way here.

The bright moon shines, the night is like jade, Jing Shui Mountain is quiet and peaceful, only the autumn insects respond to Lu Ming’s inquiries.

Lu Ming shouted into the air for a while, but he didn’t feel embarrassed. Since he was thrown into Jing Shui Mountain and had his cultivation level abolished in the afternoon, he knew that the divine turtle would definitely come for revenge.

Without cultivation level, he had no confidence in fighting against the divine turtle with his physical body.

After a brief recovery, he held the wine jug and the ancient qin and played for a long time. After each song, he would say a profound and unpredictable sentence, trying to impress Su He out of thin air.

Since he might not be able to defeat him, he would rely on his eloquence to make the turtle let go of his hatred and willingly serve him!

The divine turtle hadn’t arrived yet, but the night was still long.

Lu Ming played the qin again, and the sound of the qin was as refreshing as water, but as soon as the song ended, a surge of water suddenly spouted from the river, and a water column as thick as a water bucket suddenly smashed towards his chest.

Here it comes!

Lu Ming was overjoyed, but then he felt a little frustrated. Damn it! It’s too early or too late. If it had come a little later, I would have been able to control this turtle after finishing my poem. I could have had the upper hand.

What a pity.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it comes.

He swung the ancient qin and deflected the water column, laughing heartily, “Turtle friend, we can be considered acquaintances now. Why be so eager for revenge? Why not sit down and have a drink? Let’s have a chat. We can fight under the rising full moon. Isn’t that beautiful?”

Su He didn’t say a word, and a large water ball rushed towards him. Lu Ming smashed it with the qin.

What a show-off!

If you were refined and elegant, could you really use a qin to smash things?

Unusual things must have demons.

This guy is pretending to be noble, he must have a plot. I’ll ignore him and not listen to him. It’s right to kill him.

Another water column rushed towards Su He, but he flicked it away with the qin.

Lu Ming laughed heartily, “Turtle friend, although my cultivation level is gone, my body that has been tempered for forty years is still here. You can’t hurt me, so why waste your energy? Why not sit down and have a chat?”

Another water ball came, and he shattered it with a punch.

Beasts are beasts. Only when the strength is evenly matched can negotiations be possible. Without showing some strength, this turtle will never stop!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Ming’s eyes.

Seeing another water column coming towards him, Lu Ming threw the qin aside, stood tall, and collided with the water column. The water column as thick as a water bucket seemed to explode in front of his chest like hitting a boulder, but it couldn’t hurt him.

Beasts are simple-minded. They can only be scared by tools. Only bare-handed combat can tame them.

Lu Ming laughed heartily. Seeing that Su He still didn’t let go, another water column came, so he tore off his clothes and stood bare-chested, letting the water column hit him.

A turtle is still a turtle, even revenge is done cautiously. If you rely on your body’s defense and strength to fight me, I will still be cautious. Isn’t a water column the same as taking a bath?

Let me tame you!

Lu Ming was full of confidence, facing the water column with his bare chest, seventy-two silver needles pierced through his body.

There was a sharp pain in his chest, and Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, his face changing drastically.

Magical instrument!

Silver needles?

How despicable!

He deliberately used a few ordinary water columns to distract me, and then attacked with the silver needles.

This turtle really wants to kill me!

His face instantly filled with horror.

“No! You can’t kill me. If you kill me, you will never be able to truly transform into a divine beast!” Lu Ming roared. He turned his head and ran towards the Qingyuan Sect’s protective formation around Jing Shui Mountain.

The water balls that were shattered by him earlier suddenly rolled up and wrapped around him, forming a water ball that carried him, rotating and rising into the air.

Then it crashed down.

Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, looking at Su He in horror, “Don’t kill me, I have a special inheritance that can help you purify your bloodline!”

He desperately gasped for breath and said in a rapid succession:

“Your divine beast bloodline was activated by the Demon Morphing Fruit, right?”

“The Dragon Turtle Dao Body condensed in your mind’s eye by the Demon Morphing Fruit, right?”

“Let me tell you, this Dao Body is incomplete!”

The water ball wrapped around Su He paused for a moment.

Lu Ming gasped, “The Qingyuan Sect has never produced a divine beast. They don’t understand! Only I know that an incomplete Dao Body cannot condense purebred divine beast true blood. You can never truly transform into a real Dragon Turtle! Only a divine beast Dao Body condensed by a green Demon Morphing Fruit can truly transform you into a divine beast—at least it should have a hint of green!”

He looked at Su He, “The eighteen Demon Morphing Fruits from the Qingyuan Sect this time are all colorless. Believe me, my inheritance has a way to help you make up for your innate deficiencies.”

He panted and looked at Su He, with blood beads oozing out of his body.

When he stopped, I knew this would move the turtle!

Lu Ming spoke in a gentle voice, “As long as you help me escape from the Qingyuan territory and obtain the inheritance, I promise to complete the missing parts of your mind’s eye and Dao Body…”

Su He let out a roar.

“Red? There is no red Demon Morphing Fruit. That’s something from legends—but.” A determined look flashed in his eyes, “If you can help me obtain all the inheritances, maybe I can help you elevate to the level of a red divine beast…”

Lu Ming’s inheritance is special, and the greater his potential, the higher the level of the inheritance he obtains.

He whispered, “As long as you are willing to be my Guardian Beast…”

Whoosh!

The water flow suddenly surged and wrapped around him.

Lu Ming was instantly terrified, roaring, “No… gurgling… don’t want a Guardian Beast… gurgling… let me go…”

Boom!

The water ball reversed, smashed headfirst onto the ground, making a crisp sound. Lu Ming’s struggling voice abruptly stopped, and his neck broke at a strange angle.

Is this guy crazy?! I’m killing you, and you’re asking me to help you get the inheritance?

Do I care about your inheritance? What inheritance can compare to dice?

In the past, I was too weak to rob recklessly. But now it’s different. I’ll find a place to seriously study the rules of the dice when I have time.

After two and a half years of time travel, Su He killed someone for the first time, but he didn’t feel any discomfort.

After two and a half years, struggling to survive every day, fearing eagles during the day and snakes at night. Diving into the mud to eat rotten flesh, fighting with toads for food, and fighting with rats.

After two and a half bloody years, Su He became more and more in awe of life, but he also became indifferent to death. There is no difference between humans and toads. Each struggles to survive in their own way. Each fights desperately in their own way.
