Uncle Luo is reliable! Uncle Luo is awesome~

Su He’s voice cracked.

After greeting Su Huanian, he immersed his consciousness entirely into the Mountain and Sea Mystic Realm. In the Mystic Realm, his consciousness avatar surged, gradually approaching the size of Su He’s true body.

A spirit snake appeared on the back of the Dragon Turtle, hissing and flicking its tongue, coiling and slithering about.

With full consciousness invested, the true form of the consciousness was revealed.

No other beasts could exist in the Mountain and Sea Mystic Realm, apart from soul beasts. All other creatures that entered would turn into various turtles, but the spirit snake was clearly not bound by this rule.

It had not triggered the conditions to activate the law. The snake on its back was not a separate entity; it was still Su He, not even considered an avatar. It was just another limb that had grown, no different from claws or a tail.

The only difference might be that it could possess its own Divine Ability?

Su He was not sure yet, as it had not fully formed and currently only existed within his domain and consciousness.

A toad also appeared beside him. Su He teased it in his heart: “Yo! Has the strategist arrived?”

The toad seemed to remember its primary duty, which it had almost neglected over the past three months.

Its enthusiasm for conquering the world was no less than Feng Yaya’s, having promoted itself from the disciplinarian of the troops to a strategist.

In three months, it had led the army to the continent where the stone eggs were located.

The toad glanced at him and ignored him.

Frogs really shouldn’t have masters; masters only hinder the great affairs of the state! He would make a note of this in his diary when he got back.

Su He soared into the air, flying towards the underground palace of ancient Luo. As he flew, he used the Divine Machine to traverse space, flickering as he moved.

It was quite unreasonable; in the Mystic Realm, he was clearly a condensed consciousness, so shouldn’t he be able to reach his destination immediately with just a thought, like in a dream?

Instead, he had to fly over slowly, just like in reality!

Ancient Luo was not in the right state; he should have been fully prepared to merge with the Teng Snake and had not reached out to bring Su He over. Su He flew for a long time before landing in his territory.

It was an ordinary quicksand area in the mountains. Su He landed on the quicksand and slid down, breaking through the stratum to enter ancient Luo’s underground world. The quicksand flowed like a waterfall, and the underground caverns were like palaces, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the pillars and an old Qilin guarding the gate.

Ancient Luo was lying in his lair, his entire body retracted into his shell, and it took two or three calls from Su He to wake him up.

“The little guy is here?” He did not imprint his voice directly into Su He’s consciousness but murmured normally. The giant dragon horns on his head flashed, and a beam of light hit Su He’s consciousness.

A vast amount of information. It was the revised version of the Beast Transformation chapter.

Su He had just started reading when a chick jumped out, without a word, directly opened the toad’s belly pocket, stuffed in a bronze pot, flapped its wings, and jumped out of the Mystic Realm, hurrying back and forth as if extremely busy.

“Go on, go on~” Ancient Luo hummed softly. He looked at the spirit snake coiled around Su He with undisguised joy in his eyes: “Next, I will merge with the Teng Snake, and you can play in the Yunmeng Marsh for a few days. When you’re bored, you can visit the Xuantian Gate.”

At this point, he brought his dragon head closer and murmured mysteriously: “That old Orient Loong God at Xuantian Gate has quite a treasure trove, with hardly any guards. You can sneak in and have a look, especially in the ‘A’ repository, where there are many treasures. Steal them and make copies, then sneak them back without worry; he won’t notice.”

“…”

Stop it, is this what an elder should teach a child? What if I steal them and improve their quality and don’t return them? I, Su He, the Dragon Turtle, cannot afford to lose face!

It’s fine to steal from enemies. It’s a pity that no one thought to bring me along on this Teng Snake lair expedition. Otherwise, while you catch the snake, I could have looted the treasure trove!

Su He looked up at ancient Luo. The giant Dragon Turtle had only made a small joke, and his eyes became misty again. He must have been straining to revise the Beast Transformation chapter and hurriedly passed it on.

The time to merge with the Teng Snake was imminent.

Su He tactfully took his leave, leaving only a sliver of consciousness lying under a pillar on the small island, feigning sleep, while the rest of his consciousness returned to his body.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Su Huanian standing by his side. All the Exotic Beasts had been driven out, even Yaya had been sent away by her, fearing someone would disturb Su He. Holding a Fairy Sword in her hand, her eyes showed a mix of urgency and concern. She stood quietly, yet her gaze frequently turned to Su He.

She did not know what conclusion Su He’s journey would bring.

The Beast Transformation chapter was too special; in fact, all techniques with the word “chapter” were very special.

The Refining Instruments chapter, the Alchemy chapter, the Sword Riding chapter, the Morality chapter…

These were not specific techniques but seemed like the cultivation insights and notes casually recorded by a great power.

Widely circulated, they were impossible to change. At least ordinary Traverse Heaven practitioners couldn’t do it. At most, they could have different interpretations and follow different paths.

The Dragon Turtle was strong, but it probably had no interest in the Beast Transformation chapter. Divine Beasts were proud and would not turn themselves into an ordinary wild beast, then step by step cultivate into an Exotic Beast.

Moreover, Divine Beasts could not cultivate the Beast Transformation chapter. That was an axiom!

She looked at Su He anxiously, the cool Fairy showing a flustered demeanor in front of Su He for the first time. Her breathing was slightly rapid, her chest rising and falling.

Su He did not tease her about this matter, shook his mane, and chuckled: “It’s done!”

A glint of starlight shone in Su Huanian’s crystal-clear eyes, as if to rejoice, but two teardrops fell first.Heaven knows how a mother has endured these past six months. Especially in the recent three months, watching her daughter laugh, watching her daughter go to battle, watching her daughter plan her life.

But she only planned for five years.

Her heart twisted like a knife!

The Beast Transformation chapter has been revised, and with that safety net in place, she can finally take a breather and let go to do some things.

“Thank you!” Su Huanian softly expressed her gratitude to Su He. The debt of gratitude she owed was too great to repay.

Seeing Su He awake, Feng Yaya sneaked over. Only when she saw that her mother did not shoo her away did she come closer. She gently twirled Su He’s mane with one hand, curiously looking at her mother.

This was the first time she saw Mother cry. Had Big Turtle made Mother angry?

Su He’s large paw cradled Feng Yaya in its center, and he softly asked, “Yaya, if you were to turn into one of the Hundreds of Beasts, what would you become?”

Feng Yaya tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, “A gorilla or a wild boar?” Among the beasts she knew, only these two fought fiercely, with punches that truly hit the flesh, charging and ramming, fitting her aesthetic of violence.

Su He was stunned for a moment: “Not a turtle?”

Feng Yaya blinked in surprise, looked at Su Huanian, then at Su He, and said confusedly, “Big Turtle wants to be Father, shouldn’t Mother be the one to turn into a turtle?”

Green Snake had quietly told her over the past three months that Big Turtle definitely wanted to be her father, and it was all for Mother. Not only did he fancy Mother, but he also wanted a Little Turtle daughter?

She liked turtles, but she didn’t want to be one herself; they were too clumsy to punch people.

What a dilemma.

Su He: “!!!”

He was blown away! Even the turtle shell was trembling.

The Little Girl had been making shocking remarks lately.

He lowered his head. He wanted to praise the Little Girl, but he felt that if he did, he might get hit.

While he was feeling awkward, Feng Yaya had already snuggled into his mane and said, “Don’t worry, even if I don’t become a turtle, I’ll still work hard to take care of you in your old age.”

Su He felt a warm satisfaction in his old heart, thinking that perhaps he could consider giving up the pursuit of eternal life?

Su Huanian’s sleeve swept lightly, and Feng Yaya’s eyes rolled back as she fell asleep.

Dragon Turtle’s consciousness had sunk into the Mysterious Realm for several days. Yaya had resisted sleepiness and hadn’t slept, surely her mind was muddled. If she continued to ramble, she might say something that would shock the common customs.

The Fairy Sword floated up, carrying Feng Yaya to the “palace,” and gently laid her down.

Su Huanian turned back to look at Su He: “In front of Yaya, don’t talk nonsense!”

Su He was taken aback, feeling as if it were snowing in June, more wronged than Dou E herself.

It was as if you were saying that when Yaya isn’t around, you’d allow me to talk nonsense.

He pushed his dragon head towards Su Huanian, and the two budding dragon horns flickered with light, sending a thought over.

Su Huanian closed her eyes to comprehend, and after a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, full of amazement. What a marvelous revision!

The normal Beast Transformation chapter was already difficult, requiring the condensation of a beast’s Divine Object in the Mind’s Eye, as well as a spiritual transformation to first morph into a beast. The Divine Object and the beast’s divine soul must merge into one, forming a second body.

Then one must pass through the Ordeal of Lost Identity.

Upon first transforming into a beast, one would forget oneself, forget the past. Forget that one was once human, and live on as a wild beast.

Only when one spontaneously awakens, remembering that one was once human, remembering one’s identity, can the divine soul be restored, and one can transform back from beast to human. Completing a cycle of Beast Transformation.

After that, it’s about cultivating the beast body, advancing it step by step from an ordinary wild beast to an Exotic Beast, and then progressing through the ranks of Demon Star, Mysterious Moon, and Eclipse.

Yaya was born with her divine soul and body as one, unable to perform either the spiritual transformation or the condensation of the Mind’s Eye Divine Object.

That senior Dragon Turtle then devised a clever method.

If the divine soul cannot be changed, then start with the consciousness, sealing it within the beast body, gradually fading the memory, step by step adapting to the beast body. Imitating the spiritual transformation.

This involved a great deal of knowledge and techniques about the soul and consciousness, likely deliberately mixed in, not only to facilitate Yaya’s transformation into a beast but also to enrich Su He’s knowledge.

It’s great to have an elder looking out for you at every turn!

A toad hopped out of the Mysterious Realm, opened its bag, and stuffed the bronze pot that the chick had just given him into Su Huanian’s hands.

Su Huanian was slightly stunned, and after a moment, she looked at Su He and softly said, “The Beast Transformation chapter by senior Dragon Turtle clearly describes that there is only one of these bronze pots. If Yaya uses it, no one else can ever use it again.”

This was not a Divine Object created through Sacrifice and Refine, but something the Dragon Turtle elders had picked up from a small world during their travels through the myriad realms. When they plucked the bronze pot, that small world withered away. The entire small world existed just to produce this one bronze pot.

Ordinary cultivators practicing the Beast Transformation chapter needed to collect the essence of beasts to form the Divine Object in the Mind’s Eye.

Yaya, like a Divine Beast, could only have herself as the Mind’s Eye Divine Object, unable to produce anything else. This was also why Yaya followed the path of the ancient martial gods.

Without the Mind’s Eye Divine Object, she couldn’t cultivate the Dao!

She couldn’t compare to Divine Beasts, although Divine Beasts’ Mind’s Eye Divine Objects could also only be their own Dao Body. But Divine Beasts could learn the Dao and possess Divine Abilities.

Yaya was like a low-grade Divine Beast, with the restrictions still in place, but without the advantages.

However, she advanced rapidly on the path of the martial gods. This month, she might even reach the third rank of the martial gods. Her combat power would surpass that of a cultivator who had just completed the first step of Subduing Demons.Unable to condense the Mind’s Eye Divine Object, Elder Dragon Turtle created a bloodline path for her. She first refined the copper pot, and whatever beast she wished to transform into, she would use this pot to refine the essence blood of that species.

It would be most suitable for her, capable of a perfect fusion.

This copper pot is a treasure indeed. If not given to her, a member of the Dragon Turtle clan could also use it to cultivate a second or third body, right?

Her delicate hands trembled slightly as she looked towards Su He.

Su He cocked his head, “So what? Do you really expect some Dragon Turtle to be so idle and in pain that it would cultivate an ordinary beast body?”

Stop joking, who would value that?

Divine Beasts are proud; how could they allow themselves to have an ordinary beast body?

Moreover, this copper pot cannot refine essence blood that can perfectly merge with Dragon Turtle’s.

Divine Beasts’ pride is not just about temperament, but also their very being. How could they allow a drop of ordinary wild beast essence blood to perfectly merge with them?

Do you really think True Blood armies are just for show? Any foreign essence blood entering the body would first be blasted into dregs by the True Blood army.

It’s simply impossible!

A copper pot formed in a small world cannot refine essence blood suitable for a Divine Beast.

“Thank you!” Su Huanian expressed her gratitude once again.

Su He waved his claw, turned, and dived into the sea, making waves as he returned to his own small world. Su Huanian, having newly acquired the transformation chapter, had too much to do. She needed to comprehend, to teach, and to prepare for her transformation.

He himself also had a pile of things to do.

His consciousness sank into the Mountain and Sea Mystic Realm for several days, his physical body falling into a deep sleep. His Divine Ability, Chaotic Blade, had completely integrated into his body. Upon waking, Su He felt the realm bead throbbing.

Something unknown was happening inside the realm bead. It needed to be checked.

Returning to his small world, he expanded his domain to continue nourishing it, his consciousness sinking into the realm bead.

Mount Tai’a towered high, the sixty-four hexagrams slowly rotating. The Constant Hexagram no longer imparted its Dao rhythm to the Lesser Constant Hexagram, which had solidified completely, becoming a real existence.

Atop Mount Tai’a, an object slowly took shape.

It gave Su He the impression of a human figure.

White-haired, aged, with eyes interwoven with regret and wisdom.

It was the witch from the Dan Chamber world!

He appeared confused atop Mount Tai’a, surveying the surrounding world, looking up at the chaos above with a burst of brilliance in his eyes, seemingly eager to split open the chaos.

But his power was too weak; even jumping, he couldn’t reach the chaos. The figure was still ethereal, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

He looked at his hands as if he felt there should be something in them. But when the treasure did not appear, he stood frozen on the mountain peak, motionless.

Indeed, it was an object, just with the appearance of a witch. This was the Open Heaven Divine Object of Su He’s inner world! However, the object was not yet fully formed, and its power was still insufficient; it would take a long time to accumulate.

A flash of enlightenment rose from the depths of Su He’s heart.

The sixty-four hexagrams were used to condense the Open Heaven Divine Object. The Lesser Constant Hexagram had condensed the witch, but the witch was not yet complete. It still needed to solidify the hexagrams further to fully condense the Open Heaven Divine Object.

Then it was about accumulating power, in one fell swoop, to open the first layer of heaven.

A miscalculation! Earlier in the Mystic Realm, he should have first inquired about the Tai Hexagram. The Dragon Turtle clan possessed the Tai Hexagram, controlled by the Tai Ancestor.

If he could use the power of the Tai Hexagram to solidify the Lesser Tai Hexagram of his inner world, could he completely condense the Open Heaven Divine Object of the first layer of heaven?

Within the Mountain and Sea Mystic Realm, Su He’s consciousness avatar had already begun to hum softly.

But the Tai Ancestor did not respond. His consciousness avatar had turned into a huge egg, its state synchronized with his main body.

It was unknown how much longer it would take to break out of the shell.
