812: Chapter 215: Xuan Wu’s First Step, Southern Dipper!_3 812: Chapter 215: Xuan Wu’s First Step, Southern Dipper!_3 Yuan Qi, Star Force, and the Power of the World naturally merged and circulated within the body.
In Su He’s consciousness, his own body gradually disappeared, replaced by the stars one by one.
Beigong Xuanwu Seven Constellations, sixty-five star officials, over eight hundred stars, each corresponding one by one to the major acupoints and meridians within Su He’s body.
As the stars shone brightly, with every illumination, the Xuanwu Divine Form shaped by the Xuanwu Demonstration Decision was nailed onto his body a fraction more.
It was like when he had just received the Turtle Longevity Secret from Elder Ge and began to merge the acupoints and offer his bones, using the points to nail together blood, flesh, and bone, connecting them as one.
At this moment, as the stars became acupoints, they gradually fixed Su He together with the Xuanwu Statue.
Indeed, the cultivation in all heavens is a cycle.
Just like going to college in a past life and then starting anew from the basics.
The most basic is the closest to The Great Tao.
This time, cultivating the Xuanwu, he returned to the simplest method.
Su He plunged into silence, neither ascending nor descending, just flickering on the fourth layer, the turtle-snake entity drawing in Yuan Qi and Gang Wind.
With each inhale and exhale, time slipped away slowly.
Su He had long forgotten the outside world, forgotten himself, not knowing the passage of time or the state of Mystery Yellow.
But as time passed, the stars within his body lit up one by one until the Spirit Snake’s head was completely lit on the Southern Dipper.
A booming sound erupted within the Spirit Snake’s head, much like opening the Intention Orifice on its own.
Once his consciousness entered, he saw a vast starry sky within the snake head.
Life Energy abounded!
It was just a lonely starry sky, yet Su He sensed endless Life Energy.
The first constellation of the Xuanwu is known as the Dipper, the very South Dipper that people often talk about, as in the phrase ‘Qi rushing towards the Dipper’ — the Dipper!
The North Dipper governs death; the South Dipper governs life.
When the Dipper melded, it fell into the snake head, and the heavenly Life Energy rose within.
This energy, amidst the rotation of the stars, sprang forth without cease.
Inexhaustible.
Suddenly, Su He had an illusion — he could not die!
With the South Dipper there, as long as he was not killed in one strike, the Xuanwu would never end; it would live forever!
This was somewhat similar to the Eternal Trigram, indeed, all cultivation was interlinked.
As he was thinking this, the Eternal Trigram emerged from some hidden corner, turning into a mist that drifted into the snake head, integrating with the Dipper.
It was not dissolving away into nothingness, but a union of two, the Eternal Trigram and the Dipper working together!
Su He could feel that with just a thought, the Eternal Trigram would immediately revert back.
Nothing could dissolve the Sixty-Four Trigrams, not even the dice could replicate the hexagrams.
The Little Sixty-Four Hexagrams within the Inner World were the only exception Su He had seen, and even so, the Little Sixty-Four Hexagrams could not escape the Inner World.
Their power existed only within the Inner World.
Once the Eternal Trigram fused, the vitality of the Dipper suddenly flourished even more, carrying with it a timeless charm.
Eternal, everlasting!
This energy not only enveloped the Dragon Turtle True Form but also fell upon the Peacock True Body through a profound connection.
Outside Su He’s body, on the First Layer of the Ascending Immortal Platform.
Phoenix Chao Fei, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.
The Phoenix is the most sensitive to life and death, or perhaps because of Su He’s Peacock True Body, the instant the South Dipper coalesced, Phoenix Chao Fei already sensed the anomaly, lowering his head and following the mysterious connection, looking toward Su He.
In his Phoenix eyes, True Fire burned, and Symbols flickered.
In an instant, he perceived Su He’s transformation.
This Turtle — took one step closer to Xuanwu!
Unlike the initial receipt of the Xuanwu insights and the display of a fraction of Xuanwu authority, this step was a true venture onto the Way of the Xuanwu!
And yet, he had only entered the Fairy Ascension Platform a little over a month ago!
Phoenix Chao Fei was stunned.
Across from him, Emperor Luan also opened his eyes.
Following Emperor Luan, one by one, the great powers of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace opened their eyes and looked down at Su He.
They did not sense the overwhelming life energy from Su He’s Southern Dipper, but rather — pressure!
This pressure was not because Su He was so powerful that his aura could suppress them, but because they saw a superior, a greater authority!
Emperor Luan was silent.
That little Dragon Turtle was walking the Way of the Xuanwu!
The authority of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace stemmed from the once Heavenly Court!
The Xuanwu was the true emperor of the Heavenly Court.
Even the Four Sacred Beasts were inseparably linked to the founding of the Heavenly Court.
Emperor Luan looked at Su He, as did the people of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace, and a murderous aura diffused in the air.
The great powers of the Mystery Huang World also awoke, their cloud platforms moving, slowly approaching the people of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace in a surrounding trend.
Emperor Luan glanced around and suddenly laughed.
With that laugh, the murderous intent dissipated in an instant.
He looked at the Mystery Huang Group and said with a smile, “Why worry, my friends?
Fighting is forbidden on the Fairy Ascension Platform, we cannot harm Friend Su He, nor can you do anything to us.
Instead of fighting, why not cultivate in peace, and make plans after the Ascension Platform ends?”
The Mystery Huang Group was silent for a long time.
Gu Luo snickered coldly but didn’t respond, leading the group to retreat.
Emperor Luan was not wrong; fighting was forbidden here, and that was an ironclad rule.
Both Gu Luo and Emperor Luan took a step back, and the tension in the air dissipated somewhat.
The cloud platforms beneath them returned to their original positions, and everyone carefully watched each other before slowly sinking back into cultivation.
Su He was unaware that he had almost provoked a fight among the great powers, nearly leading to the most insane event in history on the Fairy Ascension Platform — kicking everyone out of it.
Su He’s consciousness was still immersed in cultivation.
As the Southern Dipper solidified, his understanding of the Xuanwu suddenly reached a whole new level.
The rate at which he absorbed Gang Wind and Yuan Qi increased several fold in a flash.
His uncontrollable body rushed into the third layer of the Fairy Ascension Platform.
In a flash, intense Gang Wind and abundant Yuan Qi bore down on him.
The third layer was several times more powerful than the fourth in terms of the Gang Wind!
And the higher up, the more powerful it became — no wonder Uncle Qi was stuck at a big boundary status on the third layer.
Probably not just him, a phoenix, anyone would be trapped here for a long time.
Su He took a deep breath, the Southern Dipper concentrated, and even the Turtle felt a sense of relaxed comfort.
Even breathing became easier.
With his eyes slightly closed, the Spirit Snake and the Turtle Body began to absorb Yuan Qi.
Once again, he fell into cultivation.
Merging with the Xuanwu Statue was just the first step onto the Way of the Xuanwu, and it could even be said that the true cultivation had not yet begun, roughly analogous to a Grass Turtle swallowing a Demonic Fruit and awakening the Dragon Turtle Bloodline?
But setting foot on the Way of the Xuanwu was a continuous process.
In this era, unlike the Heavenly Court Period when Yuan Qi quality was exceptionally high, Su He’s cultivation was considered slow.
Ten years on the Fairy Ascension Platform, with nothing else to do but cultivate.
This was a sacred ground for secluded cultivation.
The only thing that caused unrest in Su He’s heart was: neither Su Huanian nor Ji Feixue had come back.
Ya Ya was also nowhere to be found; none of the three were in Baiyun Palace.
With the Dark Tide outside Baiyun Palace, even the strong defenses of the Dragon Turtle couldn’t withstand it, Su Huanian being an exception.
But how did the other two manage to get out?
Now they hadn’t come back yet, had they stumbled upon something interesting?
