818: Chapter 217 Layer_3 818: Chapter 217 Layer_3 I had seen such things before in Changfeng City.
In a wealthy family in East City, a man had committed a crime and was imprisoned for twelve years.
By the time he was released, his daughter had grown from a four-year-old little girl to a marriageable age.
With a single call of “Father,” the man was stunned for quite a long time.
Aunt Qing said that missing his daughter’s growth was the biggest punishment for him.
Although Ya Ya didn’t understand why missing growth was a punishment, she remembered the loneliness and self-blame in the man’s eyes.
Many things are hard to understand; just do it!
Pretend to be mature!
Having almost been a city lord for thirty years, Ya Ya was best at this.
Putting on a stance, she called Su He “Father” and stunned him, then she ran and jumped up to the first floor, waving from afar to Gu Luo and Ancient Locust, “Does Turtle Grandpa have something tasty?
Ya Ya is hungry!”
Su He had been in Feng Zhong for a long time and had not seen his own daughter during this period, but the Dragon Turtles merging with Spirit Snake had seen her countless times.
There was no Dragon Turtle who could remain indifferent after gaining a granddaughter.
Although they did not let Ya Ya know they had visited, they had to acknowledge their granddaughter.
Especially upon entering Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, had Ji Feixue not disagreed, these two turtles would have snatched Ya Ya away long ago.
Ya Ya indeed knew how to make the elders happy.
Upon seeing Gu Luo and Ancient Locust, she had already transformed into a Little Dragon Turtle.
Her body sparkled with electricity, truly resembling a small Green Thunder.
Hearing that their granddaughter was hungry, Gu Luo and Ancient Locust’s bodies softened, presenting large prawns, fresh fish, and various Spirit Fruits freely.
Ancient Locust even spread out a flying carpet, laying out all the items, unsure of how to spoil her enough.
Next to them, Feng Qi also released a stream of Spirit Food.
He was already like an uncle to her.
But he did not speak to Ya Ya; his eyes were tightly closed, and it seemed he was at a crucial point in his cultivation, his body quivering.
It was as if he had a thousand weigh on his back, forcing his legs to wobble.
“Thank you, three grandpas!” Ya Ya, sweet-mouthed, was delighted by the treasures on the carpet and waved down to Ji Feixue.
“Auntie, there’s Silk Moon Fruit that you love to eat, come quick!”
Ji Feixue responded with a cheerful “Okay!”
She then looked toward the still dazed Su He, a light cloud gently enveloping the two, Ji Feixue poking his forehead and giggling, “Little Master, you are so spacey!”
Afterward, the cloud dispersed back to beneath her feet, carrying her toward the first floor.
Ya Ya kept waving, “Dad!
There’s big shrimp, hurry up!”
Only then did Su He suddenly come to his senses, looked up at the Ya Ya on the upper level with a helpless expression.
This little imp had picked up some tricks!
But indeed, she had become smarter and had grown older.
Though she hadn’t physically aged, still looking like a three-year-old, having been a city lord for a long time, she had definitely honed her Spirit Wisdom.
Once her body fully recovered, she should truly start growing.
“Over here!” Ya Ya pouted her mouth, waving at Su He.
Laughter was then heard from the second level, “Young lady, your dad certainly can’t make it to the first level right now.” The speaker was a top general among the Twelve Guardians of Sealed Emperor Palace.
The master’s concern is the minister’s disgrace; they had clearly heard the previous conversation between Su He and Emperor Luan.
This Dragon Turtle showed no respect for Your Majesty!
Even carrying a tone of mockery.
Being the only literati there, the Crown Prince’s Tutor, Head of Scholar Residence, it was not fitting for him to boast.
So, of course, this became his responsibility.
The Dragon Turtle had been boasting, yet now could not rise to the first level.
What could be more satisfying than humiliating him in front of his daughter?
Embarrassing the Dragon Turtle would inevitably lead to punishment by Your Majesty.
But what of it?
He looked at Su He, then at Ya Ya, a smile on his face, “The first level is not for just anyone to ascend casually.”
Ya Ya looked down at him, her cheerful expression sinking, “Who is this big guy?”
This big goof didn’t even have the manners of her family’s monkey!
The general chuckled, “I’m a rough Military General, lack sophistication in words, Madam City Lord should bear with it!”
He spoke in a coarse voice, a look of honesty on his face that said, I might be blunt, but I never lie.
While speaking, he again looked toward Su He.
Su He laughed lightly, “If you know you’re foolish, just keep quiet.
Don’t disgrace your emperor everywhere.”
The general’s face changed, about to speak, but a muffled sound came from within Su He.
A flash of Star Force passed by, as if a starry sky had descended.
Following closely, the Dragon Turtle’s momentum dramatically surged, and its once-stationary body began to rise bit by bit.
This rise was just the beginning— as the momentum increased, Su He’s ascension speed grew faster and faster, with the white clouds below him rolling and lifting him upwards.
There was an impatient feeling to it.
With the assistance of the previous five constellations, the energy from the Room and Wall constellations had not yet reached their peak before shattering, transforming into auspicious starlight and merging into Su He’s body.
All seven constellations were activated!
Once the integration of the seven constellations was complete, the Xuanwu Statue fully merged with Su He into one.
Seven patches of starry skies converged within his body.
It wasn’t that seven territories were formed inside Su He’s body; rather, it was a kind of internal visual sensation, like the meridians in a human body!
Invisible, intangible, unlocatable even if one were to cut open the search, but the meridians and acupoints had always been there.
The starry sky was the same; cutting open Su He would reveal nothing, but in his internal vision, it existed.
Even to a certain degree, it replaced the original meridians and acupoints.
At this moment, Su He’s acupoints were over eight hundred stars, and his meridians were the trajectories of these stars— not a single star was fixed in place.
Su He only heard popping sounds within his body as if beans were being fried; the seven star regions continuously expanded outward, intending to fully connect the Xuanwu Seven Constellations into one—transforming into the Northern Star Region.
Externally, white clouds rolled beneath Su He, lifting him straight upwards, and in an instant, he reached the boundary between two layers.
At the boundary, Su He forcefully pushed up against a thin membrane, trying to break through but failing.
He was blocked!
The general, who had already turned pale with a blood-red face, suddenly brightened up and burst into laughter.
“The turtle can’t make it up with all his might!
Now this is truly embarrassing; he might as well stay on the second layer like me.”
But his laughter had only begun when, with a flash of starlight on Su He’s body, the seven star regions completely connected.
Now, in Su He’s internal vision, they were no longer seven unrelated star regions but had transformed into a single Northern Star Region.
The Beigong Xuanwu Seven Lodges!
The membrane blocking his ascent burst open with a “pop” amidst the red-faced general’s laughter.
Su He leapt upward, directly entering the first layer.
The clouds below him rolled, forming a wave-like cloud platform.
Above on the second layer, the red-faced general’s laughter abruptly stopped, as if someone had suddenly choked the neck of a drake—his laughter stuck in his throat, turning into a weird coughing sound.
Su He did not give him a second glance, but greeted Emperor Luan directly, “Your Majesty, we meet again!”
Emperor Luan smiled genially, greeting Su He back, while the color of the general’s face deepened to a dark purple.
The breaths of everyone from Sealed Emperor Palace became rough.
At this moment, Su He’s Xuanwu Statue had completely integrated with his own body; to some extent, he could now be called “Little Xuanwu.” His imposing aura subsided, but the quality of his presence underwent a drastic change.
To those at Sealed Emperor Palace, it became unbearably heavy.
Outside, if they could release their own breath to counteract Su He’s, resisting it would have been manageable.
However, on the Fairy Ascension Platform, they could not fight or counter.
It was a moment of frustration.
They glared at Su He angrily.
Then, a cold huff was heard beside Su He: “For a grand Tiger Leopard Guard General, it was bad enough that your vision went to the dogs, but now you can’t even afford to lose.
Are you thinking about retaliating against my junior?”
A dark shadow flashed by, and there was Feng Qi, soaring up to the second layer, wings spread beside the general.
The cloud platform, lagging behind him, caught up and settled beneath Feng Qi, reforming back into clouds.
The cloud platform would only solidify on the first layer; below that, it retained a normal cloud shape.
Feng Qi, glaring fiercely at the general with undisguised murderous intent, said, “I’ll watch you here; try glaring again!”
He almost seemed ready to disregard the rules of the Fairy Ascension Platform and suppress the man right there.
On the first layer, Ya Ya voiced her confusion: “Eh?
Seventh Grandpa isn’t shaking anymore, has his cultivation finished?”
Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it caused Feng Qi to suddenly tremble momentarily above on the second layer.
