A turtle and a frog stared at each other, both seeing disdain in the other’s eyes.

Then, they both leaped up at the same time. The frog made a grab for the Glutton’s Eating Method, while Su He charged towards the Divine Machine.

They both snatched the other’s choice. A turtle and a frog touched the inheritance at the same time. The next moment, the world spun around them, and they were both thrown out of the inheritance palace.

A dice fell, spinning on top of the frog’s head.

Three points.

What a pity, they both had the idea of snatching the other’s chosen inheritance, perhaps they could have dropped two dice. It seemed that the Dragon Turtle’s judgement was: no matter which one Su He charged towards, it was considered his choice.

The frog’s was the surprise, the one that was snatched.

However, this was a big win!

Two techniques directly achieved Divine Abilities, and the Glutton’s Eating Method was even enhanced. It was not yet known whether its power was increased threefold, or its advancement speed was increased threefold.

It didn’t matter, Su He didn’t care.

Inside the Mysterious Wasteland, a red Dragon Turtle let out a long cry towards the depths of the mountains and seas.

“Haha! Ancestor, that kid snatched the inheritance, let’s add a restriction to him. From now on, every time he enters the inheritance land, he can only get one inheritance, how about it?”

Normally, Little Turtle didn’t have this restriction. The younger generation was eager to learn, and they would be happy, how could they possibly restrict?

A low hum in response.

“Okay!”

“Ang~” Another Dragon Turtle let out a long cry, taking pleasure in the disaster: Should we add defensive measures? Should we punish if he snatches again? How about I do it? I’ve never beaten a child before, I’m quite curious to experience it.

The red Dragon Turtle spat at it.

How could they possibly add defenses? What if Little Turtle couldn’t snatch it? What if he was punished and didn’t dare to snatch it?

Inside Su He’s Sense Realm, two points of light floated above the Sense Realm, like two lonely stars. These were the two newly acquired Divine Ability seeds. They hadn’t fully formed into new Divine Abilities yet. The Divine Ability seeds condensed in the Sense Realm, slowly integrating into the body, forming instincts, and only then was the Divine Ability considered achieved.

This required an uncertain amount of time, perhaps three to five days, or perhaps three to five years.

In the future, as the Dragon Turtle advances, the Divine Ability will also advance, without the need for special cultivation.

Su He slowly opened his eyes.

He had stayed in the inheritance land for a while, briefly browsed through the Dragon Turtle’s inheritance, snatched two technique inheritances, and six or seven days had passed in the outside world.

The battlefield of the two realms had completely changed its appearance. At this moment, it was only about thirty miles in size. A few undulating mountains and plains were all that was left.

The massive body of the ancient Dragon Turtle was even more obvious here. The whole world was like a turtle tank, and it was somewhat stifled here.

What was This Turtle doing? Where were the cultivators from the two great worlds? Su He was puzzled.

The ancient Dragon Turtle was looking at a weak space on a mountain top – next door were many space doors floating in the White Turtle World, which he had condensed and fixed, and by breaking through this layer of space and going in, one could enter the White Turtle World.

But it couldn’t go in, that world was too fragile, it was not like the battlefield of the two realms.

Although the battlefield of the two realms was smaller, it directly connected the two great worlds, with the support of the Mysterious Wasteland and the Sealed Emperor Great World, it could barely accommodate it – but it could only accommodate it alone, even Lei couldn’t come in.

Now the battlefield of the two realms had been refined by him into a miniature small world. Once he left this time, he would never be able to come back in. Until one day, Su He advanced this small world to be strong enough.

Sensing that Su He had woken up, the ancient Dragon Turtle’s huge dragon head turned around, looking at Su He with a smile in his eyes: “Little guy, what inheritance did you get?”

Su He sighed: “It’s a bit disappointing, I just got the Glutton’s Eating Method and the Divine Machine.”

Well, I got two Divine Abilities, and one of them has a dice, Uncle Luo, don’t be jealous.

The ancient Dragon Turtle seemed to have not seen his eyes, and sighed with him, comforting: “It’s okay, although it’s a bit worse. But diligence can make up for clumsiness. In the future, get more inheritances, practice well, it’s a bit slower, but the Divine Ability seeds cultivated by yourself also have their own meaning, right?”

Su He: “……What’s wrong with you, old turtle? I’m showing off!”

A hint of cunning flashed in the ancient Dragon Turtle’s eyes, his tone was quite desolate, as if he was sighing for Su He’s lack of competitiveness: “After all, not all turtles are Little White Spirit.”

It looked at Su He: “Do you know how many inheritances Little White Spirit got the first time she entered the inheritance land?”

Without waiting for Su He to guess, it sighed with a full face: “A full seventy-eight!”

Su He didn’t believe it at all, even bragging had to be logical, the first inheritance was seventy-eight, directly ignoring the basic law?

The ancient Dragon Turtle looked down at him with a smirk: “Turtles are not the same, Little White Spirit never thought about honestly getting the inheritance, what stars, what sun and moon. She directly took a knife to dig out the Dragon Turtle’s eyeballs!”

If it wasn’t for just passing the Tribulation Crossing, the Divine Sense was still weak, and could only dig out a small piece, it wouldn’t be just seventy-eight inheritances, there would be a ten thousand behind it!

At that time, all the Dragon Turtles were shocked by White Spirit’s operation, okay?

Who could have thought that after White Spirit first entered the inheritance illusion, she guessed where the inheritance was, and after coming out, she figured out a set of Divine Abilities by herself until the Tribulation Crossing promotion this hundred years.

She never used it in front of people, until she entered the inheritance land during the Tribulation Crossing, a Divine Might turned into a knife array, directly going to dig out the Dragon Turtle’s eyeballs.

Can you imagine the scene of seven Dragon Turtles being stunned at the same time?

Su He was dumbfounded, he knew that sister was unconventional, from the moment the frog entered the Mysterious Wasteland, when a Dragon Turtle asked about the situation inside the White Spirit’s tomb, Su He had some understanding of that Turtle sister.

But to be unconventional to this extent – hate not to be born at the same time, let sister take him to play.

Su He looked at the Dragon Turtle with resentment. There was such a method, why didn’t you teach me first.

The ancient Dragon Turtle laughed loudly, lowered his head and looked at Su He seriously: “Little guy, more than seventy Divine Abilities rushed into the sea of consciousness and integrated into the body. How many can control? If the Divine Abilities contradict each other but can’t handle it, it’s the way to death.”

The world eats as much as it can, White Spirit dares to get nearly a hundred inheritances at once, her talent and Spiritual Intelligence can bear the consequences, which Dragon Turtle dares to do the same?Gu Luo shook his head. Every clan had one or two unruly youngsters, but unfortunately, he was not one of them.

He smiled at Su He, “Let’s go, let’s enter the Mountain and Sea first. Let’s meet the elders.”

Although the Dragon Turtle clan only had eight members including Su He, they were scattered all over the world. It was rare for them to gather even once in tens of thousands of years.

With a new member born, they should gather. But Su He’s Tribulation Crossing was too sudden. After entering the White Spirit Great Tomb, he suddenly had to cross the tribulation. The turtles were caught off guard and could only meet first in the Mountain and Sea Mysterious Realm, and find an opportunity to meet in the real world later.

Su He nodded.

He needed to meet the elders, otherwise he wouldn’t know who to look for in the future. Moreover, the toad had a message, they were very concerned about the death of the White Spirit and wanted to know the specific situation in the Great Tomb.

The toad on Cloud Island didn’t go up. Although it knew what was going on from Su He’s memory, verbal description was not as good as seeing it with one’s own eyes.

The Dragon Turtles had a method to project memories, they wanted to see it with their own eyes.

This was also the reason why Su He woke up after only accepting two Divine Ability seeds. As a newcomer to the group, the elders were already caring for him, and he should respect the elders.

The toad leaped out of Su He’s sea of consciousness, a sense of weightlessness came. The air in front of him seemed to be scorched by flames, twisted and then returned to normal in an instant.

His consciousness had already left the small world formed by the two realms battlefield, and he was in the Mountain and Sea Mysterious Realm.

Looking around, there were only mountains and trees, not even a single insect could be seen.

“Is this the Mysterious Realm?” Su He asked, but his voice turned into a low chant. Just as the toad had said, he couldn’t speak here, he could only make beast roars.

It was said that when other creatures’ consciousness entered, they would all turn into turtles. Unfortunately, even the merfolk couldn’t enter the Mysterious Realm of the Dragon Turtles. There were only eight Dragon Turtles and their soul beasts in the Mysterious Realm.

Su He was on an island in the sea, and he couldn’t see the elders when he looked up from the high ground.

He let out a long chant, and his body involuntarily flew towards the inland. The scenery on both sides was like flowing light, and his figure stopped in a spacious valley.

In the valley, there were several peculiar buildings, altars surrounded by stele-like pillars, shadow walls formed by moist jade, with constantly emerging characters on them, like screens. There were also cave-like warehouses…

Seven Dragon Turtles were smiling at him around the altar. They were not surprisingly large, only two or three times bigger than Su He.

The toad’s voice rang in Su He’s heart, “The consciousness that enters the Mysterious Realm is the consciousness. The cultivation level of the Dragon Turtle elders is too high, it’s impossible to put all their consciousness into the Mysterious Realm, that would be too much for the Mysterious Realm to handle. But since this is your first time meeting the elders, I have pulled all your consciousness into the Mysterious Realm to show respect.”

Su He nodded in understanding.

He slightly bowed his head and chanted towards the seven Dragon Turtles.

“Junior Su He has seen the Ancestor, has seen the two Granduncles, has seen the four Uncles.”

This was the advantage of having a soul beast. The toad had come in before and figured out many things.

Su He was the fourth generation of the existing Dragon Turtles. The already extinct White Spirit was the first Dragon Turtle of the fourth generation, and Su He was the second.

The pure gold Dragon Turtle at the top was the oldest ancestor, who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years.

The fire-red and gray-brown ones were the granduncles.

These three ancestor-level Dragon Turtles, Su He looked at them, but no corresponding names rose in his heart!

Dragon Turtles were special, their names could be known by looking at their bodies, but the three ancestors were not included.

The other four turtles were Luo, Lei, Zhu, and Huai.

The seven Dragon Turtles looked at Su He with smiles in their eyes.

“That’s the Great Ancestor!” Gu Luo introduced the oldest ancestor to Su He in a low chant. “When the Great Ancestor was born, it was the heyday of the Mysterious Yellow Great World, but now it has become the Mysterious Wasteland.”

“Ang!” Su He chanted, saluting the Great Ancestor.

A trace of clarity flashed in the Great Ancestor’s chaotic and muddled eyes. A thought turned into a voice in Su He’s mind, “Not bad, little black turtle. It’s been many years since I’ve seen a black Dragon Turtle. Back then, when I was young, there was a black Dragon Turtle that tricked me out of two top-grade spirit stones from my small worlds, and it hasn’t returned them yet… You might be its descendant.”

Su He was immediately stunned. There were only a few colors of Dragon Turtles, the five elements and some special variant colors.

The same color didn’t mean it was possible, it was basically certain that they were from the same family, passed down from the same bloodline.

Before he could make a sound, Gu Luo’s low chant had already come, “Don’t mind the Great Ancestor, he’s old and confused. He always feels that turtles of any color owe him. He also said that there was once a Dragon Turtle like me, who stole his mother turtle, and asked me to return it to him!”

Was this something an ancestor should say to his grandchild?

He led Su He’s gaze to the two granduncles and whispered, “You can call this one Red Grandpa.” At the same time, a thought entered Su He’s mind, “Be careful, this old turtle is not well-behaved and likes to tease turtles. Once he annoyed the Great Ancestor, the Great Ancestor took his name away. So now we call him Red Uncle, you can call him Red Grandpa.”

Su He chanted, “Hello, Red Grandpa!”

“Ang~” The red Dragon Turtle was full of smiles and responded, “Call me Grandpa!”

What’s with calling him Grandpa, it sounds so distant!

The Dragon Turtle clan never ranked by age. Dragon Turtles matured in eighty thousand years, but it might not produce an offspring in one hundred and eighty thousand years. If they really ranked by age, how many ‘grand’ would they have to add to address the previous generation of elders?

The Dragon Turtles ranked by generation. From the time you were born, if a new turtle was born within eighty thousand years, then you were of the same generation. If another one was born within eighty thousand years, then the three of you were of the same generation – in fact, the first and the third had already exceeded one generation in age difference.

Gu Luo and his generation were a population explosion, four Dragon Turtles were born within three hundred thousand years, all counted as one generation. Then it took another three hundred thousand years for the White Spirit to be born, and another twenty thousand to less than thirty thousand years for Su He to be born.

Therefore, the White Spirit was truly Su He’s clan sister.

“Ang~”

“This one is Wild Ancestor! The Wild Ancestor’s true body suppresses the Dustless Sea, his consciousness cannot leave, today he forcibly split a strand of consciousness to enter the Mysterious Realm because of your arrival.”This was a very special Dragon Turtle. For some unknown reason, it appeared as transparent as crystal.

Su He bowed his head in respect.

The Ancient Ancestor let out a long chant, “Good! When you grow a bit bigger, come to the Dustless Sea for a visit. I’ll give you an opportunity.”

The four uncle Dragon Turtles immediately started to howl.

The opportunity the Ancient Ancestor spoke of was only available to young Dragon Turtles. When they were young, the Ancient Ancestor was still wrestling with the Dustless Sea and couldn’t provide such opportunities. It wasn’t until over twenty thousand years ago, when Little White Spirit played in the Dustless Sea, that a Dragon Turtle first received an opportunity from the Dustless Sea.

Everyone was envious!

Su He was even luckier. As a water-element Dragon Turtle, he was more suited to the opportunities of the Dustless Sea.

Su He immediately expressed his gratitude.

Several Dragon Turtles circled around Su He, some tapping their claws on his shell, some pouring water over his head, and some even hoisting him onto their shells and running off with him. It took a while before they finally calmed down.

Su He understood and nodded at Gu Luo.

Gu Luo let out a low chant.

“There’s no need to be nervous, just recall everything that happened on Cloud Island in your mind.”

They just wanted to see the remains of White Spirit and find out what had happened.

Su He closed his eyes and began to recall everything from the moment he stepped onto Cloud Island from the bamboo raft, all the way to the Dragon Turtle Palace, where a not-so-large white jade Dragon Turtle appeared.

Seven Dragon Turtles all turned to look at the image.

Disappointment was evident in their eyes. Looking at this familiar figure, a sliver of hope they shouldn’t have had was shattered.

It was indeed White Spirit.

Especially those repeated cries of “Call me sister!” Only this girl could make such a sound.

“Let’s investigate further.” The voice of Red Ancestor echoed in the hearts of the turtles, “It is indeed the remains of Little White Spirit, but…” A burst of brilliance exploded in its eyes, “Little White Spirit, the characteristic of recognizing people by seeing turtles is not there!”

Seeing that the Dragon Turtle knew its own name was an ability inherent to the Dragon Turtle. It was fundamental… The three of them were different. Tai Ancestor had the Tai hexagram on his body, which allowed him to hide and release his name at will. It was punished by Tai Ancestor by temporarily hiding its name. The Ancient Ancestor was suppressing the Dustless Sea, which was also very special.

But with Little White Spirit, something was wrong if her name wasn’t revealed.

“Moreover, from Little Su He’s memories, it seems that ninety percent of Little White Spirit’s power is not in her body!”

If it weren’t for the fact that Dragon Turtles couldn’t reincarnate, couldn’t possess bodies, and couldn’t separate their spirits from their bodies, they would have suspected that Little White Spirit was tired of being a Dragon Turtle and had changed her identity to go wild.

Her characteristic was missing, her power was missing, and she had arranged many coincidences, calculated thousands of years ago to this day. She sealed the Spirit Clan and left the Eternal Hexagram for Little Su He, left the Turtle Pearl and Turtle Yuan, and helped her clan brother to advance.

What on earth was this little guy up to? She didn’t want to live, but she also didn’t want to lose a Dragon Turtle to the clan? Su He wanted it, and White Spirit didn’t want to lose it either.

Turtles, they are very greedy!

Seven Dragon Turtles, who had lived for who knows how many years, were all confused by her.

Su He slowly opened his eyes and saw the seven elders with different expressions.

The turtles shook their heads, unable to understand.

The Ancient Ancestor encouraged them a few times, greeted the other Dragon Turtles, and his consciousness gradually dissipated and left. Today’s two major events were completed, welcoming the newborn and inspecting the deceased.

The other turtles also greeted their kin and gradually left. Turtles each have their own business, and the consciousness bodies that stay in the Mysterious Wasteland usually fall into a deep sleep – after hundreds of thousands of years facing the same faces, all the words have been said.

Tai Ancestor’s eyes fell back into chaos and confusion. Gu Luo let out a low, long chant, leading Su He towards a crystal jade screen on one side.

The long chant was slightly complex in meaning.

“Little guy, this records all kinds of treasures within the Dragon Turtle clan, as well as the private treasuries of the elders that can be made public. If you need anything during your cultivation, you can directly take it – after taking the clan’s treasures, you need to return the same kind or same level of other treasures within ten thousand years.

Of course, it’s easier to complete tasks for the clan or for other elders in exchange for treasures. If you directly take them and haven’t returned them by the time you reach adulthood, you need to return ten times the same level of treasures.”

This was the Dragon Turtles’ care for their juniors. It was roughly equivalent to doing chores for parents in exchange for pocket money.

“Of course—” It looked at Su He and let out a long chant, “Within twenty thousand years, you can receive a world treasure for free, no need to return. But every time you take something, you need to state your reason – even if it’s just to show off and throw money around on the street.”

A world treasure was a treasure that could advance a fledgling small world into a complete world.

Dragon Turtles weren’t short of money. It didn’t matter if they threw money around, what they feared was being cheated and even counting money for the cheater – being cheated was fine, no elder would interfere, it was a lesson learned. Spending some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to buy a lesson was totally worth it.

Turtles live too long. They’ve been cheated, loved, hurt, and that’s what makes a turtle’s life. To love, to hate, to loathe, to enjoy. That’s complete. The worst thing is to have no desires. A Dragon Turtle with no desires, after ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, is really no different from a rock.

Hiding in a corner and sleeping forever, what’s the difference between being alive and dead?

They’re not afraid of any experience, but the elders need to know the ins and outs of the matter, so as not to suffer calamity.

Raising a turtle is very simple, just throw it out to grow wildly. As long as it’s not a life-and-death catastrophe, they generally don’t interfere. If they interfere too much, the journey will be smooth, and the life of the turtle will lose a lot of meaning.

Of course, a few treasures, can this be called interference? Which Dragon Turtle hasn’t played and broken a few worlds while growing up? The treasures that the Dragon Turtles provide for the little turtles are actually not many, just enough for a world to grow.

Just like parents in the mortal world, giving a child a house, what’s that worth? According to the status of the Dragon Turtles, that’s like a king or a general giving his only son a small courtyard, too stingy!

“Huh?” The voice of the toad echoed in Su He’s heart, “When I came here before, there were no records of other people’s treasures on the crystal jade screen!”

The crystal jade screen was divided into three sections, one recording the treasures of the Dragon Turtle clan, one recording the treasures of the seven Dragon Turtle elders, and one using a larger space to record the treasures of other people’s homes.

For example, in the Mysterious Wasteland:

Xuan Tian Gate: Heavenly Crystal, Soul Falling Grass, Nine Palace Lamp…Heavenly Star Palace: Starfall, Eternal Night, Three Lives Water…

All of these and more, even with subpages that could be opened to see detailed descriptions of treasures, who held them, the realm of the owner, what special means they had, and whether they could be taken…

Su He blinked at Gu Luo, who was looking around nervously.

Finally, feeling guilty under Su He’s gaze, Gu Luo muttered, “These are trivial matters, don’t take them too seriously. It’s just to remind you where you can go to steal… I mean, buy these treasures when you need them!”

He muttered to Su He, “Take your time browsing these items. Later, I’ll have your toad fetch the residences and contact tokens of the elders. If something happens and you can’t enter the Mysterious Realm, you’ll have to find a way to call your parents in the mortal world.”

The Mysterious Realm was not reliable. Although the elders could be found at any time, there were many methods specifically targeting soul beasts.

“Go back. I have anchored the small world refined from the two realms’ battlefield to the East Cloud Mountain. After you leave, you can close the door. In the future, you can set it wherever you want, and it’s not a bad idea to carry it with you. But you need to refine a realm gate yourself.”

Is this a gift for me? A small world?

Seeing Gu Luo’s figure becoming illusory and about to leave, Su He hurriedly called out, “Uncle Luo, when I go back, I will have to accept the Dragon Turtle’s life inheritance. Any guidance?”

Don’t be like last time, foolishly rushing into the inheritance ground.

Gu Luo chuckled, “Follow your heart!”

The Divine Turtle’s inheritance had many directions for advancement, some defensive, some offensive. Choosing an inheritance that doesn’t suit oneself is not a big deal, the Dragon Turtle has plenty of time, and after tens of thousands of years of adjustment, it will be handy. But choosing a Divine Ability that doesn’t suit one’s heart, the longer the time, the more uncomfortable it feels like eating a fly.

Especially when this inheritance hinders the acquisition of other inheritances, it makes the turtle even more unhappy!

As Gu Luo spoke, his figure gradually dispersed.

Meeting in the Mysterious Realm is not as good as in reality. Even playing with Little Turtle feels like scratching an itch through a boot. It’s time to gather once, discuss a place, and have a good time with Little Turtle.

Broaden Little Turtle’s horizons, and help him consolidate his path. Cultivating the Dao for ten thousand years, traveling through thousands of realms. Experience is very important.

It’s a pity that the Mountain and Sea Mysterious Realm is too mature and has completely stabilized. Little Turtle can’t experience the wonders of the Mysterious Realm here.

The more active and immature the Mysterious Realm, the more one can understand the way of reality and illusion, the more one can touch the laws of the world. It’s more suitable for young turtles.

I remember that Princess Yunmengze has a good Mysterious Realm. It’s very young and lively. After going out, I’ll say hello and see if the princess can take the little guy in.

In a moment, only Taizu was left quietly lying in front of the altar in the Mountain and Sea Mysterious Realm.

That altar was special, it could directly awaken the sleeping consciousness of other elders, and they could meet in the Mysterious Realm at any time.

Adult Dragon Turtles don’t lack this bit of consciousness. The consciousness didn’t leave the Mysterious Realm, it just returned to its own territory and fell into sleep.

Su He saluted Taizu, “Old Ancestor, I have to go too. I have to accept the inheritance.”

Taizu’s chaotic eyes flashed, but he didn’t speak. He was like a pure gold statue.

The toad leaped up, taking Su He out of the Mysterious Realm. When he opened his eyes, he was in a brand new small world, with a diameter of only about thirty miles, similar to his own realm.

Gu Luo was no longer in the small world. A realm gate appeared in front of him, glowing. Su He could leave at any time.

There was no rush. He had been crossing the Heavenly Tribulation for several days, and he hadn’t yet received the inheritance of the most fundamental Divine Ability.

The toad had already started croaking, “You must choose the new Divine Abilities of Mount Bearing and Divine Might!”

The inheritance place had the new Divine Ability of Mount Bearing.

Originally, Mount Bearing absorbed heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and various types of energy, all of which would become external appearances, enhancing defense.

The new Divine Ability was not just an external appearance, it could also condense a “Mountain God”!

The Mountain God was a great seal, like a magical treasure. Usually stored in the body, it could be used to suppress and attack. When the seal was pressed down, it came with sealing and imprisoning effects. It was even more extraordinary when used to attack.

As for the advanced Divine Ability of Divine Might, Su He felt it was somewhat useless. It was called “Soul Sacrifice”.

Normally, when killing an enemy, the enemy’s soul could be imprisoned. When needed, it could be directly thrown out, turning the soul into a one-time consumable, capable of delivering the strongest blow of one’s life. After the blow, it would be reduced to ashes.

But the number of souls that the Dragon Turtle could carry could not exceed its own limit. Su He could already deliver such an attack, so why bother?

What Su He was more interested in was the auxiliary Divine Ability of the water attribute Dragon Turtle: Water Form!

Two in one, 6,500 words, so only one update.
