“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” The toad waved its hands and shouted.

This Turtle actually wanted it to acknowledge a master!

Just because it sat here, giving the Dragon Turtle many pointers about Tribulation Crossing—a toad of unknown age, with some knowledge in its belly, wasn’t that quite normal?

But you shouldn’t covet me!

Even an old toad is not spared, are you still human?

Su He lowered his dragon head, sighed softly: “Alright… I’m sorry…”

The toad knew too much, but it didn’t have systematic knowledge. It spoke whatever came to mind. Su He just hoped it could temporarily acknowledge a master.

A soul beast and its master could be said to be one entity. As long as it acknowledged a master, the heavenly tribulation would not be enhanced. In any situation, the toad could give him guidance.

Even if it was a temporary acknowledgment, no one would hinder anyone afterwards, each doing their own thing—it would be considered that Su He owed the toad a favor.

A favor from a Divine Beast, that’s quite valuable.

But the toad refused.

Si Ze left, this girl was unconventional and decisive. Knowing that Su He was about to cross the tribulation, she didn’t waste words and turned to leave.

She told Su He to stay put. She would go and persuade Ge Feng and Yu Lin to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Emperor’s Great World.

They could restrain the Minotaur of the Emperor’s Great World to the extreme west of the battlefield for at least a month.

She was full of confidence. After all, Senior Brother Ge Feng was the direct grandson of Senior Uncle Ge, and his relationship with the Dragon Turtle was different from others. Even Yu Lin and the Dragon Turtle were familiar— it was widely known in Leaving South Court that Instructor Yu Lin was afraid of the Dragon Turtle.

The kind that would avoid it when they saw it.

But before Si Ze could use her eloquent persuasion, a red light shot straight into the sky from the direction of Yan Feng City, clearly visible to the entire Transcend Mortality battlefield.

This was the Xianxia version of a ceasefire.

Immediately after, Yan Feng City hung up a truce sign.

After two months of war, the Emperor’s Great World showed weakness for the first time, leaving the Qingyuan Sect at a loss, until Si Ze brought back news of Su He.

Ge Feng paced back and forth, his fists clenched and unclenched, his breathing becoming more and more rapid.

“Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle is about to cross the tribulation!”

“The Emperor’s Great World dares not underestimate its edge!”

It must be so! There’s no mistake!

The Qingyuan Sect’s foundation was too shallow, and their understanding of Divine Beasts was too limited. Even their Beast-taming Valley only started collecting information about Divine Beasts, especially those related to the Dragon Turtle, after they had the Dragon Turtle.

“Junior Brother Yu Lin, notify the disciples of Qingyuan, not to approach the area of Nanman Corner, this place is designated as a forbidden area! Also, have everyone ready for battle at all times. If the Emperor’s Great World has any intention of interfering with Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle’s tribulation crossing, strike immediately!”

Yu Lin, dressed in white, clenched his folding fan, his expression changing constantly, finally he sighed deeply and said, “Alright!”

Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle, this time your nephew will risk his life to help you. Can we forget about the time when I urinated in front of you with my pants down and danced with my bare butt?

Dispel!

Dispel it!

Why is it that the more I don’t want to think about it, the more this embarrassing thought drills into my mind? I really want to die and let Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle turn to ashes under the heavenly tribulation!

“Senior Brother!” A Qingyuan disciple ran back in a panic: “Senior Brother Ge, Senior Brother Yu Lin! Just now, Junior Brother Wu wanted to return to the sect to report to the Sect Leader about Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle appearing in the Two Realms Battlefield and his impending tribulation crossing.”

Ge Feng’s face changed. Before entering the Two Realms Battlefield, the old man had quietly instructed him that if the Dragon Turtle appeared in the Two Realms Battlefield, try to keep it a secret.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, it must have something to do with the disciples in the sect.

Now the Qingyuan Sect was full of people, and the Wuxiang Sword Sect had merged in, and they had swallowed several Eastern Cloud Sects. If it weren’t for the pressure of the Two Realms Battlefield, no one would care about anything else. Perhaps the sect was already in chaos.

He and Yu Lin had already ordered not to leave Qingyuan City, but there were still people who wanted to sneak back to pass on information.

Ge Feng’s face was icy.

The disciple’s face showed terror, he took a couple of breaths and continued: “But… Junior Brother Wu couldn’t pass through the Three Lives Gate, his head just got out, and it was smashed into powder, not even blood came out.”

Ge Feng and Yu Lin looked at each other, Yu Lin said: “There must be a battle outside the Three Lives Gate, tell all the disciples, under no circumstances should they go out arbitrarily.”

Either wait for news from the sect, or wait for Senior Uncle Dragon Turtle to cross the heavenly tribulation, the real Divine Beast Dragon Turtle should be fine—even if it doesn’t go out, having a Divine Beast to suppress them, they should be able to eat the other side dead!

Inside Yan Feng City.

Although it was called a city, it was more like a military camp. Tents were neatly pitched, and Minotaurs stood guard, the discipline within the camp was strict.

The number of Minotaurs was not more than that of the Qingyuan Sect, and their cultivation level was not much higher. One was an ordinary tribe of the Emperor’s Great World, and the other was an ordinary sect of the Mysterious Wasteland, they were evenly matched.

The reason they could suppress the Qingyuan Sect was entirely due to their military-like discipline.

Inside the commander’s tent, a woman in a green dress looked at the sand table floating in the middle of the tent, her gaze falling on the Nanman Corner where Su He was located.

A Minotaur rushed in from outside the army: “Commander! Why are we retreating?”

The Minotaurs had spent two months, seemingly fighting chaotically with the dwarves of the Mysterious Wasteland, but in fact, they were steadily capturing key locations and forming battle formations. It wouldn’t be long before they could launch a decisive attack and trap the Qingyuan Sect in their city.

Just at this moment, the commander withdrew all the troops.

The woman in the green dress didn’t raise her head, a young Minotaur next to her turned his head and glared at this reckless bull: “Didn’t you see the tribulation cloud rising from the Nanman Corner earlier?”

The reckless bull blinked: “I saw it, so what? What does it have to do with us? Why should we care? That’s not a place we’re targeting.”

The woman in the green dress shook her head: “A Dragon Turtle has appeared there, and it wants to cross the tribulation here. We dare not interfere.”

“Huh?” The reckless bull widened his eyes, looking incredulously at this woman. This was Feng Luan, a member of the royal lineage! The royal family of the Emperor’s Great World was the supreme existence in all the heavens and worlds.

She… dares not interfere?

Feng Luan chuckled lightly, Divine Beasts were unreasonable, they didn’t care whether their cubs could cross the heavenly tribulation in the first place. As long as you got involved, if the tribulation crossing failed, they would blame you.

What’s the big deal if a mere Minotaur tribe is wiped out?Divine Beasts are not to be trifled with, let alone one of the four spirits: the Dragon, Phoenix, Turtle, and Qilin. Even the Imperial Palace would have a headache dealing with the Dragon Turtle clan.

Six thousand years ago, when a member of the Dragon Turtle clan perished, the first places they investigated were the Imperial Palace and the ten immortal gates of the Mysterious Wasteland.

They made it clear that they would investigate without reason or suspicion. Would it be cooperation or war?

And the result?

The Imperial Palace and the ten immortal gates not only cooperated but also helped with the investigation!

“Send out the order, no one is allowed to leave Yanfeng City before the Dragon Turtle finishes its Tribulation Crossing.”

“But…” The barbarian bull looked troubled, “But that Dragon Turtle might be from the Qingyuan Sect across the way!”

Didn’t the disciples of the Qingyuan Sect go around looking for the Dragon Turtle a month ago?

Feng Luan glanced at him, “I know, go and send the order!”

The Dragon Turtle, first and foremost, is a Dragon Turtle, and then any other identity. The Dragon Turtle clan doesn’t care about these issues, they are unreasonably protective!

It’s unfair, but you have to bear it!

If you want to reason with the Dragon Turtle, at least the commander here must be a prince with real power – ordinary princes are not qualified!

……

……

Days passed by.

Su He slowly opened his eyes. Another turtle shell had been completely refined by the mountain, and the external appearance of Turtle Mountain became more refined.

This turtle shell was from the Demon Subduing Realm. Su He had just finished refining it, and it was perfectly matched to resist the heavenly tribulation.

Su He opened his eyes and looked at the toad.

The toad was squatting on a small hill nearby, smoking a pipe, its eyes dull, lost in thought.

Su He said softly, “Don’t think too much, I just thought of it and said it casually. You don’t want a master, and I don’t want a soul beast either.”

Soul beasts and their masters share memories, which is too terrifying for Su He.

Not only would the dice be exposed, but the fact that he had traveled through time would also be impossible to hide. But these were not the main issues. A master and his soul beast share weal and woe, and once they recognize a master, they will not betray him.

But wouldn’t those little secrets he hid in his small room in his previous life also be exposed?

Absolutely not! He would rather die!

He would not become another Yu Lin.

Su He’s consciousness sank into the Sense Realm, and the mirror of understanding repeatedly checked his body. These days, Su He would conduct a full check every day.

In the midst of heavenly tribulation……

In the midst of heavenly tribulation?!

Su He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at the toad, “The heavenly tribulation is coming, let’s go!”

The toad was stunned, jumped up, and disappeared into the distance.

It didn’t see the tribulation cloud, but of course, it had to listen to the person undergoing the Tribulation Crossing. It disappeared in a few flashes and hurriedly left.

Su He adjusted his breathing, looked up at the sky, and saw no clouds in the high sky, nor any signs of the heavenly tribulation.

?

Where’s the heavenly tribulation?

Is the mirror of understanding fooling me?

Su He waited for a while but saw no tribulation cloud gathering. Just as he was wondering, he saw two tribulation clouds, one black and one yellow, slowly gathering from the east and the west.

The tribulation clouds rolled very slowly, but they gathered more and more, becoming thicker and thicker. Thunder rolled within them, making a thunderous roar.

Su He’s heart started to thump uncontrollably, and his breathing became rapid.

A sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

His scales stood on end!

He would die!

He would really die!

If he was struck by this heavenly tribulation, he would die!

Danger!

Su He hunched his body, his limbs retracted into the turtle shell, and the Turtle Mountain on his back shone brightly. The scales trembled, making a rustling sound like iron armor grinding.

The toad, which had disappeared into the distance, looked at the two thunderclouds above its head, and its face changed dramatically!

How could this be?

Crossing the tribulation at the intersection of two realms would only draw the origin of the two realms, increasing the power of the heavenly tribulation, but how could it form two tribulation clouds?

This was the heavenly tribulation descending from the Mysterious Wasteland and the Imperial Great World at the same time.

The Dragon Turtle had to cross two tribulations by itself!

This was courting death!

Was there any way to survive?

It accelerated its escape, running faster and faster. But as it ran, it gradually stopped, stomped its foot, slapped itself, turned around and rushed towards Su He, shouting from afar:

“I’m telling you! Today, I’m only recognizing you as my master to help you cross the tribulation! If you dare to have any improper thoughts, I, Frog Master, will flip your turtle shell!”

Su He’s eyes lit up.

“I’m telling you, turtle, you’re not allowed to take me into your Sense Realm, you’re not allowed to connect memories, you’re not allowed to pry into my privacy! Not now, not in the future, never!”

It shouted, opened its mouth, and spat out a rune towards Su He.

The rune was self-spiritual and directly drilled into Su He’s forehead, melting into the Sense Realm.

In an instant, Su He felt as if he had gained something, but he couldn’t explain what it was.

He could use the toad’s vision as if it were his own, he could hear what the toad heard, he could sense what the toad touched.

This feeling… was like having another self.

Far away, the toad appeared directly above Su He’s head with a flash, squatting between the two horns of the Dragon Turtle.

It had wanted to do this for a long time, but the Dragon Turtle was a Divine Beast and could not be humiliated. Except for the little girl Feng Yaya, no one could climb onto the shell of the Dragon Turtle!

Now, it, the toad, was sitting on the Dragon Turtle’s head, as it should be!

Even more justified than Feng Yaya.

The toad slapped Su He’s head with a paw, “Don’t be stunned, don’t wait for the thunderclouds to collide, choose one and cross it first!”

The toad shouted.

Su He looked left and right, the waves beneath him rolled, and he headed straight for the sandstorm-like thundercloud in the direction of the Mysterious Wasteland.

I’ll stop here, writing another six thousand words won’t get me past this plot. I’ll finish this plot tomorrow. I’m writing it now. I’ll post it all at once tomorrow, no more one update at a time.
