The voices on Returning to Origin Island would naturally be heard by other cultivators. However, despite the whispers, no one dared to discuss it too openly. It was unwise to gossip about the host in their own home.

Everyone’s attention returned to the competition stage.

There were many participants on the five stages. Su He estimated that the competition would just about finish before the Seventh of July.

The competition on the stage was dazzling. Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand the formations and symbols. The only thing Su He could make sense of was the fighting stage.

He had his eyes on several people. One was a man dressed in red, whose weapon was a handkerchief. Although he appeared effeminate, he was incredibly powerful. His handkerchief could be used for both offense and defense, and it was impervious to both water and fire. It was no ordinary magical instrument.

Then there was the burly man with a pumpkin-like appearance. He always seemed to be on the verge of defeat, but he would always explode with power at the critical moment, knocking his opponent off the stage with a single hammer blow.

As night fell, the fighting stage had ended, but the pill refining stage was still in full swing. Pill refining was never a quick process. Originally, each stage had artifact refining accompanying it, but this time, many people cheated in artifact refining, using a new method that increased their speed by more than ten times.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with stars. The star power formations that were not suitable for daytime competition now showed their power. The formation stage was filled with the roars of tigers and dragons, and the howling of fierce winds and heavy rain…

A paper crane flew over, transforming into a letter in front of Su He: Come to Longevity Island.

The four bold characters still carried the scent of soy sauce.

Old Taoist Ge had written him a letter using roast chicken dipping sauce.

Wondering what his master wanted at this time, Su He carried Feng Yaya on his back and swam towards Longevity Island.

Several elders were in heated debate.

“Ninety-nine steps lead directly to the altar. Of course, ordinary people can walk up there, and the wind blowing their clothes gives a sense of immortality. But he is a Dragon Turtle, he has to crawl up there! How can there be any domineering aura when a turtle is crawling up such high steps with its butt in the air?”

“What do you suggest then? The ninety-nine steps to heaven have been the standard since ancient times, we can’t just change it!”

The group was arguing about how to construct the altar.

Qiao Changlun stroked his beard and made a decisive statement, “Isn’t it simple? Bury the entire altar underground. When the Dragon Turtle stands on the altar, it will rise from the ground along with the altar at the appointed time. It will be shocking, spectacular, and domineering!”

Su He stood by, not understanding.

Does a Divine Beast need to pray to heaven and earth when it takes a master? Is the standard this high?

He wanted to ask, but he didn’t have the chance to speak. As soon as he arrived, someone started measuring his size for the construction of the altar. Old Taoist Ge gave him a jade slip and then tried to drive him out of Longevity Island.

He only told him that this was the content of the prayer to heaven and earth.

Su He placed the jade slip on his forehead and looked at it for a long time before he realized that this was the attribute panel he had mentioned a few days ago!

It had actually been developed, but it was somewhat unexpected. If Su He had wanted a smartphone, then this panel was like an ancient computer, occupying hundreds of square feet.

But it was still a panel!

He looked at Old Taoist Ge in surprise, “Master, how is this possible? I didn’t create this!”

At this point, Su He was no longer the cultivation novice he had been. He had learned a lot of cultivation knowledge in Leaving South Court. Praying to heaven and earth would form a Divine Ability!

Old Taoist Ge sneered, “If you hadn’t been the first to propose the panel, only you could pray to heaven and earth. Do you think this good fortune would have fallen on you?”

Old Taoist Ge looked at him with contempt.

Yaya let out a silver bell-like laugh, patting Su He’s turtle shell.

Su He returned to the water in frustration, swimming towards the center of Listening Sea Lake.

Chounu transformed into a mermaid and swam silently on either side.

After swimming for six or seven miles, a huge grass turtle blocked their path. The grass turtle was two sizes larger than Su He, but it was much more delicate and charming. One look and you could tell it was a female turtle.

“Dragon Turtle Daoist friend.” The female turtle greeted from afar.

A turtle demon.

No turtle demons had entered Qingyuan Sect recently. All aquatic demons entering Listening Sea Lake would greet Su He to avoid misunderstandings underwater.

This turtle demon must be new, or a powerful demon that had already transformed into a human form, revealing its true form at night and entering Listening Sea Lake.

“Daoist friend, please don’t blame me. I am a turtle, and it is only right for me to pay my respects to the Dragon Turtle in my true form.” She said seriously.

“I should have paid my respects to the Dragon Turtle Daoist friend this morning, but the juniors in the sect were rude and offended Daoist friend. That’s why I was delayed.” She shook her head, her tone somewhat helpless.

Long Pine Gate?

“Indeed, that is the sect I belong to.”

The turtle demon gave a bitter smile, “I didn’t come tonight to bother you, but to apologize. If there’s a chance in the future, I would like to discuss the Dao with the Dragon Turtle Daoist friend.”

She shook her body and crawled out of her turtle shell, transforming into a light that landed on the shell. She was a woman in her thirties, and she bowed to Su He, “This shell is the one I shed when I transformed into a human. It still has some mysteries. I give it to the Dragon Turtle Daoist friend. If it can help you advance further, it would be a great merit for me.”

She bowed again, turned around, and walked towards the moon. Her figure was slender and alluring.

Perhaps turtles attract each other? Su He felt a sudden attraction.

Feng Yaya sat on the turtle shell, pouting, “I don’t like her!”

Chounu swam beside Su He, her eyes brightening in surprise. She and Feng Yaya actually had something in common.

She swam to the edge of the turtle shell and knocked on it. It made a metallic sound. The heavy turtle shell floated in the water without sinking. It wasn’t until she pressed it that it triggered a mechanism and sank to the bottom of the lake.

Just as she was about to investigate, Gu Lin came over in a small boat to pick up Feng Yaya. It was time for the little girl to go into her deep sleep. When she woke up, it would be the day Su He officially became a disciple.

Feng Yaya waved reluctantly at Su He, then followed Gu Lin away. After a moment, she suddenly returned, took out a purse, and handed it to Chounu.

Chounu had given her a pair of pearl earrings, and she returned a purse. Only then did she leave contentedly with Gu Lin.

Chounu held the purse, blinking her eyes, a faint smile on her lips.

Apart from riding on Wang, which people didn’t like, this little girl was quite adorable.

Su He watched the small boat leave, then dove into the water.

The grass turtle’s shell lay quietly at the bottom of the water. Su He looked at it, feeling that the shell was like a piece of art, each pattern revealing a charm.

Looking at it was like admiring a piece of art worth tens of thousands in his previous life…

Wait!

Su He was suddenly startled, quickly turned his head away from the shell, and let out a low growl to Chounu.

Go find your grandmother quickly!Long Min and the other members of the Heavenly Water Tribe were still modifying the formation of the Listening Sea Lake. The formation set by Su Huanian was not something they could easily change, and the operation was quite difficult.

Chou Nu’er, dragging her mermaid tail, quickly left and returned shortly with Long Min.

“Your Majesty, you were looking for me?” Once Long Min entered the water and revealed her true mermaid form, she no longer looked old and frail. She appeared to be in her forties, with only a few wrinkles on her face.

Su He murmured.

Check this turtle shell, something is off about it.

The Heavenly Water Tribe worshipped turtles, and their research on turtles even surpassed that of Old Taoist Ge.

Long Min lightly tapped the turtle shell with her cane, and a ripple spread out. An illusion appeared in front of Su He. Suddenly, a mother turtle was swaying in the water, and then a beautiful woman was dancing alone under the moon, her graceful dance moves captivating.

After Long Min tapped with her cane, the illusion faded. An indescribable amusement appeared on her face.

“Your Majesty, it seems someone is trying to steal your offspring, to help you spread your lineage.”
