“This is a spirit snake that I obtained from refining a soaring snake.” Su He said with feigned pride.
Su Huanian understood, “No wonder you were chased by the soaring snake.”
Speaking of this, Su He was truly proud. He held his head high and said arrogantly, “Being chased has nothing to do with this. The soaring snake and the Dragon Turtle have been mortal enemies for hundreds of thousands of years. Just a few days ago, their lair was taken down by my uncles.”
Su Huanian was taken aback, how should she respond to this? Should she admire the divine beasts for their time spans of hundreds of thousands of years? Or should she admire the protection of the elders?
She gently waved her hand to separate the realm. Before her bare hand fell, she pointed, and her Snowfall Realm turned into a Thunder Pool.
“Is that golden button your life’s magic treasure?” She was asking about Su He’s Mountain God Seal.
The Mountain God Seal was a new ability of the Mountain Carrier. The Mountain Carrier had absorbed many good things, but it only condensed into a piece of metal the size of a walnut, completely unrecognizable as a seal.
Su He replied, “It’s a Divine Ability. But it’s almost the same as the life’s magic treasure, just like the life’s Divine Ability. It complements the external Turtle Mountain, one is offensive and the other is defensive.”
Su Huanian had seen Su He’s Mountain Carrier absorb external objects. The previous Turtle Mountain and even her sword energy were absorbed, which was quite unreasonable, “Is it also formed by absorbing external objects?”
Su He nodded.
Su Huanian swung her sword, cutting half of the Thunder Pool and handed it to Su He, “The Thunder is the master of killing, and it is swift when it moves. If you refine it into your Divine Ability, it should have a miraculous effect.”
The Dragon Turtle’s defense was extremely strong. Just now, her sword pierced into Turtle Mountain, but it was a trick. Although she did not use a cultivation level beyond the Dragon Turtle, the Fairy Sword in her hand was a real treasure of the Immortal Family, far surpassing her own realm, and nothing could resist it.
Without relying on the sharpness of the Fairy Sword, even an ordinary Traverse Heaven would find it extremely difficult to break through the external Turtle Mountain.
This Turtle had just crossed the Tribulation a month ago. Divine Beasts were truly incredible.
However, the attack was lacking. The Dragon Turtle clan naturally had plenty of techniques and treasures, but what did that have to do with Su Huanian?
She felt that Su He needed the Thunder Pool, so she gave it to him.
Su He was stunned for a moment, looking at the fairy whose face was slightly pale, he asked, “What about you?”
This woman had a bit of a tiger’s temperament. The Thunder Pool had obviously become her ability, similar to the existence of a realm. She said she would cut it, which was no different from cutting off her own limbs.
Su Huanian smiled faintly, “The Thunder Pool can regenerate, and it can come back after a few days of rest.”
Su He was silent for a moment, then said, “Thank you!”
He did not refuse, directly taking this piece of Thunder Pool into the external space, with the Mountain Carrier’s large net covering it.
At the same time, he looked at Su Huanian and leaned his head over.
Su Huanian put her bare hand on his head, “What are you doing?”
“Touch it!” Su He lightly touched her forehead with his dragon head, borrowing the Bright Mirror. Su Huanian had never heard his prayers to heaven and earth, and had not mastered this technique.
Just a few days ago, she had just calmed down the burden brought by the Thunder Pool, and now she had cut off half of the Thunder Pool again. After several big battles in the past few months, it was time for a comprehensive check-up.
Su Huanian thought for a while and opened the Bright Mirror. The attribute column was fully displayed:
Status: Injured·Fetus Lost
Realm: Traverse Heaven Second Layer
Identity: Reincarnation of the Dan Tai Immortal (Awakened 1%)
Injury: …
There was a long list of injuries written behind, physical damage, cave damage… Su He couldn’t understand too many professional terms.
The Bright Mirror display was based on Su He’s knowledge reserve, and after being borrowed, it loaded Su Huanian’s knowledge reserve. Some things were beyond Su He’s cognitive range.
Su He didn’t understand, his gaze fell on “Reincarnation of the Dan Tai Immortal”, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked in a daze, “Is it… the reincarnation I understand?”
He had never heard of the existence of the underworld in this world, nor had he heard of the six realms of reincarnation. After the third step of Subdue Demons, the demon fetus realm, one can seize and rebirth, but seizing and reincarnation are obviously different.
Su Huanian moved her gaze away from the injury and waved her hand to disperse the Bright Mirror, not caring, “Yes.”
No, wait a minute! What do you mean by this indifference? His breathing became a bit heavier, and he stared at her and asked, “What is an Immortal? Is it the existence that opens the door to immortality?”
Su Huanian said softly, “Maybe.”
Maybe?
The sixth step of the cultivator’s Traverse Heaven is the Traverse Heaven Ladder, and the seventh step is the Knocking on the Immortal Door.
As long as one has top-notch talent, top-notch opportunities, and is willing to work hard, any monster has the opportunity to reach the sixth step. But the seventh step of Knocking on the Immortal Door depends on the Dao. If the Dao is not right, there is no Immortal Door at the end of the Heaven Ladder.
A lifetime of cultivation turns into dust.
Even if one knocks on the Immortal Door, one has reached the end of the realm. Cultivation level can always be improved, there is no end. But no one has ever been able to open the Immortal Door and achieve True Immortality.
The seventh step of the cultivation path, Traverse Heaven, is the limit, and it is also the realm with the greatest difference. The difference between knocking on the Immortal Door and knocking on the Immortal Door is bigger than the difference between a human and a dog!
The supreme strong are not inferior to the divine beasts like Tai Zu, and twelve of the top thirty on the Hakutaku List are human cultivators.
And those who have just entered the Knocking on the Immortal Door, Gu Luo can defeat a group with one claw.
Divine Beasts open the sky seven layers, cultivators Traverse Heaven seven layers. This is the universally recognized limit of cultivation, there are no exceptions.
However, Mingjian said that Su Huanian was the reincarnation of an Immortal…
“What is this awakening? A recovery of memories?” Su He’s gaze was stern.
Su Huanian chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry, it won’t replace you. It’s just the Daoist laws and experiences that can be read like a book, it has nothing to do with the memories of past lives.”
Could the strange symbols after the awakening be the progress of the awakening? Su Huanian didn’t recognize them, but she knew they must not be high, perhaps not even started, otherwise, she might be able to find a way to repair Yaya’s origin from the inheritance of the past life.
Su He was silent for a long time, still finding it hard to believe. It wasn’t that he couldn’t believe in reincarnation, but that the reincarnation of the soul shouldn’t be too difficult. What Su He found unbelievable was the achievement of becoming a True Immortal by opening the Immortal Gate.
The Immortal Gate was not a real gate, it couldn’t be opened by just pushing hard with high cultivation level, it was a fundamental change!
Especially the two words ‘Immortal’, it didn’t sound like someone who had just opened the Immortal Gate…
“Don’t worry about it.” Su Huanian said lightly, you have also become a Dragon Turtle, isn’t it the same with no changes?
She looked at Su He and asked, “Are you going to attend the Dragon God Festival in Yunmengze in the spring?”
Su He nodded, “Does the Immortal know about the Dragon God Festival?”
“Don’t be silly!” Su Huanian smiled lightly, “I’ll take Yaya with me then.”
“Huh?” Su He was puzzled.
Su Huanian said, “I need to leave for a while, to find a secret realm, where I might be able to complete Yaya’s origin. I’m not comfortable leaving Yaya here alone if both of us are gone.”
She had heard of the Dragon God Festival, it was a sacrificial event similar to the grand festival of the Ten Immortal Gates, and it took quite a long time. She didn’t know how long it would take for her to return from the secret realm.
Unlike the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, which only took about ten days, leaving Yaya alone here for a long time would inevitably make her feel uneasy.
“Senior sister, wait a moment!”
Su He closed his eyes for a moment, and the toad came out of the Mysterious Realm cursing and swearing, threw a Boundary Stone at him, and walked away.
He was arguing with Feng Yaya over official positions, and suddenly he was called by Su He to do hard labor.
Even slaves should be resting at this time!
“Senior sister, follow me!” Su He used his Water Manipulation ability and headed straight for the passage to the White Spirit Mini World and his own Mini World.
In a moment, they returned to the Mini World through the passage, where a group of merfolk were hopping around, moving various treasures. These were brought by the toad after two days of hard work, waiting for the merfolk to arrange them, and then Su He would start refining them to promote the growth of the Mini World.
The merfolk bowed in salute when they saw Su He from afar.
Su He placed the Boundary Stone in the center of the Mini World, and the Boundary Stone took root as soon as it landed, connecting with the entire Mini World in a moment, and the crack leading to the White Spirit Mini World gradually became a stable passage.
Two barriers rose up in the passages leading to the Mysterious Wasteland and the White Spirit Mini World, like two large gates.
Blocking all people from entering and exiting.
Su He imprinted his Divine Sense on the Boundary Stone and refined it. He released a breath that fell on Su Huanian.
“Senior sister, I’ve given you the key to my house!”
With this breath, one could pass through the passage barrier normally.
With the Boundary Stone blocking, it was like locking the door. The barrier of the Mini World was refined by Gu Luo himself, and there were not many people who could break in.
“Thank you!” Su Huanian said lightly. With this world, Yaya would have a temporary place to stay when she was not around.
Su Huanian looked out at the outside world through the passage, where the autumn wind was rustling on Dongyun Mountain. It was another good autumn, time flies.
She turned back to Su He, “You should cultivate well, I’ll go check on Yaya, come find me after dawn, I’ll cultivate with you for the next half year, honing your combat skills.”
The Dragon Turtle was very powerful, with a strong foundation. Just after the Heavenly Tribulation, his True Essence was already terrifyingly strong, and his physical body was even more indestructible. In terms of Cultivation Level, he was invincible when he morphed into a demon. But his combat consciousness was too weak.
It all depended on whether he could have a flash of insight during combat.
Strategies should only be used when necessary, real combat is about habits, patterns, and instincts!
He was too young and had never had a few fights. His extraordinary abilities couldn’t be used, and using the wrong Divine Ability made no difference in front of a master.
What was lacking should be made up for, and naturally, he would become stronger after being beaten a few times.
Su Huanian had no experience in teaching disciples, but she had experience in fighting. After half a year of fighting, a normal person at the first level of Traverse Heaven should not be able to handle this Dragon Turtle.
If he could maintain his progress, maybe a year later, as he said, she would need him to protect her?
Thinking of this, a smile rose at the corner of Su Huanian’s mouth, and she felt a sense of relief.
Su He blinked, watching Su Huanian leave on her sword. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. He didn’t know why, but he felt inexplicably scared.
He lay in the Mini World, spreading his domain, slowly soaking and spreading the treasures of the Mini World.
Refining the world was not like refining a magic weapon, nor was it like refining pills in a furnace. The growth of the world was silent, and all kinds of heavenly materials and earth treasures were spread in the Mini World according to the law, soaked by Su He’s domain and connected by Qi, naturally merging with the world.As time passed, the earth attribute treasures gathered around, forming fertile soil. Where gold and earth converged, mountains rose, and around the water treasures, lakes and oceans formed.
This was an extremely slow process.
Of course, if one had the means of the ancient Luo, to play with the world at will, that would be another story.
Or after opening the heavens, one could refine chaos directly, using it to cultivate a small world, which would grow faster.
Su He multitasked, his domain permeating the small world. The Mountain God Seal absorbed the Thunder Pool and various materials, forming a seal.
The function of the Mountain God Seal was closely related to the materials it absorbed. With the Thunder Pool, Su He’s Mountain God Seal would primarily be used for attack, and could even slightly reduce the effects of suppression and trapping enemies.
Su He’s consciousness sank into his body, entering his inner world.
His consciousness drove the sixty-four hexagrams to rotate around the Hexagram Mountain. He controlled the constant hexagrams in his body to spit out the world’s origin, constantly nourishing the sixty-four hexagrams.
This was Su He’s proper cultivation method. Using the world’s origin and the energy of heaven and earth to constantly enrich the sixty-four hexagrams, solidifying the Hexagram Mountain. Until the heavenly tool on the Hexagram Mountain was formed, and the heavens were opened with the tool.
After reaching the first level of opening the heavens, Su He’s true essence would no longer be ordinary turtle essence, but true essence with the power of the world. The same moves and divine abilities would grow tenfold, or even dozens of times in power.
By then, if he used the Mountain God Seal to attack Su Huanian, she probably wouldn’t be able to deflect it easily.
Among the sixty-four hexagrams rotating around the Hexagram Mountain, the small constant hexagram in the inner world had solidified. This was a copy, drawing on the Dao rhyme of the constant hexagram in Su He’s body.
At this moment, the growth it brought to the Hexagram Mountain was more than all the other hexagrams combined.
With each rotation, the Hexagram Mountain grew a bit, and Su He’s true essence condensed a bit, increasing a bit.
The mountain grew inch by inch, and the space it supported subtly grew larger.
After an unknown amount of cultivation, a strange thought arose: he should give the mountain a name.
This was a sudden thought, or perhaps the mountain was asking him for a name!
While controlling the hexagrams to rotate, Su He pondered.
The Hexagram Mountain was majestic, suppressing the chaos above the earth, like the mythical Zhongzhou Fairy Mountain. But Su He dared not use Zhongzhou Mountain to name his own mountain.
It couldn’t bear it!
Su He thoughtfully said, “Mountain, mountain!”
The highest of mountains is “Tai”, and the widest of tombs is “E” (e). How about calling it Tai E Mountain?
Su He muttered to himself, and as his words came out, the Hexagram Mountain roared, and two small seal characters suddenly appeared on the mountain wall.
Tai E!
The sixty-four hexagrams rotated even more vigorously. They liked this name!
The small constant hexagram was constantly flashing with light, exuding its aura.
A hint of enlightenment rose in Su He’s heart. The upper hexagram of the constant hexagram is Zhen, and the lower hexagram is Xun, the wind and thunder stir, making the universe always new.
The constant is either steady as Mount Tai, or moving like the stars, endless. It itself contains the implications of longevity, eternity, and permanence.
No wonder the Spirit Clan could rely on the constant hexagram to save their lives. The constant is always new and eternal, and it inherently has the implication of solidifying the origin and preventing downfall.
But this implication was elusive, and Su He couldn’t grasp it for a moment.
A night of cultivation passed without words. At this time, cultivation relied entirely on the world’s origin stored by the constant hexagram, and it had little to do with the cultivation method.
The world’s origin seized by the constant hexagram was sufficient for Su He to cultivate for a long time.
The soft and melodious singing of the merfolk rang out, and Su He woke up from his cultivation.
This was the biggest use of the merfolk. Cultivation was addictive, especially for divine beasts, who could potentially cultivate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years with their eyes closed. The merfolk’s singing had a special power, gently waking up the Dragon Turtle, preventing it from going into a frenzy.
It was like a monk’s bell.
“God, it’s dawn.” The ugly slave girl swam next to Su He, her tail gently swaying.
The turtle shell was very comfortable, the merfolk girl must have helped him clean his body while he was cultivating.
More merfolk brought delicate food, and Su He allowed them to leave this small world to hunt in the White Spirit World.
The ultimate delicacy permeated his lips and tongue, and as the merfolk were repairing his scales and armor, Su He ate with great satisfaction.
This damned decadent life.
It’s great!
Not daring to indulge too much, Su He swam up and headed towards the neighboring world. As soon as he left the passage, a sense of crisis arose, and a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky.
Su He hurriedly used his divine ability to teleport away, just as he landed. The sea surface suddenly exploded, and each droplet of water turned into a fairy sword, stabbing towards his neck and the weak parts of his legs.
A grating sound rang out, but it was blocked by the outer shell.
Can’t break through, right? Su He breathed a sigh of relief, the Dragon Turtle’s defense was passive!
Just as he was laughing proudly, his tongue uncontrollably stretched out of his mouth, and like a whip, it slapped his own eyeball.
Su He let out a cry.
It didn’t hurt, but he couldn’t get over this in his heart!
Su Huanian was nowhere to be seen, but her voice had already come over: “Controlling water, doesn’t necessarily mean controlling the water of the outside world.””If you can control the blood within your enemy’s body, you can roam freely in this vast world.”
Su He was taken aback, gaining a lot from this insight. However, in the moment of his distraction, a snowflake had already drifted over the water waves, suddenly transforming into a sword, aiming straight at his back.
With a swift swipe of his four claws, Su He hurriedly rushed forward, narrowly avoiding the stab.
“A domain doesn’t necessarily have to be activated to be used.” Su Huanian said softly. During her battle with the soaring snake, she used snowflakes as her avatar, which was a clever use of her domain.
Divine Beasts are born with domains, while cultivators have to ponder and practice diligently to awaken their domains. They might not be as powerful as Divine Beasts, but their various manipulations far exceed those of Divine Beasts.
“Objection!” Su He shouted, “This is a one-sided beating! You should sacrifice yourself too in our cultivation!”
Su Huanian remained silent, no sound came, nor did she show herself. Her attacks became even more ruthless, showing no mercy.
Without enduring a harsh beating, how could one make significant progress?
