Yes!” Grand Ancestor Tai chuckled, “With nothing better to do, I built a Taoist retreat here to slack off a bit.”
Su He looked around; the more he looked at this retreat, the more it resembled the temples of the Yuan Sovereign Clan from ancient times!
It was just missing the last space-time rift.
Even Su Huanian recognized this place; the two exchanged glances and simultaneously labeled the Thai Clan as untrustworthy.
Build a retreat out of boredom, and it just happens to resemble a temple?
I’d believe you if you said you randomly created Di Mountain, but this?
The Old Turtle glossed over it, seemingly not too keen to discuss the matter, so Su He tactfully didn’t ask.
“Grand Ancestor, do you know why my wife tricked me into coming here?”
Grand Ancestor Tai shook the cage hanging from his claw, “She probably wants you to help me open this thing, right?”
The seals on this prison were quite peculiar.
Even he couldn’t easily open it and would need to study it seriously for at least a few hundred to a thousand years to possibly do so.
The method was ancient and oddly similar to what he was accustomed to with his family’s Little White Turtle.
“What’s inside?” Grand Ancestor Tai was curious as well.
“The Sealed Emperor’s Palace, the Heavenly-Reaching Order,” Su He replied.
Grand Ancestor Tai feigned realization, “No wonder!
That Little Dragon of yours is unscrupulous, throwing this thing into the volcano at Old Phoenix’s place!
Why send it to me?
As one who is sealed, am I supposed to fight others?”
He laughed and shook his head, addressing Su He and Su Huanian, “Little fellows, amuse yourselves for a bit.
I’ll contact my main body to take this hot potato off my hands.
I’m just a clone, not built for such turmoil.”
As he spoke, he stood atop the cage and slowly closed his eyes, becoming as still as a stone statue.
Ya Ya hopped down from his mustache, running laughingly towards Su Huanian, “Mom, mom!
This is Turtle Grandpa!
I dreamed of him!
Turtle Grandpa and I have played together several times in dreams.”
Su He incredulously looked at the Grand Ancestor Clone.
Favoritism?
Didn’t everyone start as Little Turtles and make their way up?
Su He had hardly spoken a few words with Grand Ancestor Tai to date, and now this Old Turtle was secretly keeping Ya Ya company in her dreams?
Being a turtle as well, the disparity in treatment was so great?
Su He sighed.
Su Huanian smiled softly, scanning the grand hall before her gaze rested once more on Su He.
She raised her hand to rest it on Su He’s dragon head, and with her eyes slightly closed, a wondrous power transferred to him.
Su He was taken aback as the little Gradual Symbol from his hidden Inner World uncontrollably popped out and joyfully began to gyrate.
With this start, the remaining hexagrams, like unruly wild horses, followed one after another.
In the Inner World, where Yue Ying was cultivating, she looked up at the roaring Tai’a Mountain and at the symbols appearing one by one.
Suddenly, she froze!
She recognized these objects—the forbidden grounds at her home contained one, treasured and safeguarded by the elder as if it were a precious jewel, anyone who dared to approach would be hung and whipped!
She had seen it by accident as a child.
One symbol treasured as the National Clan’s Supreme Treasure by the elder, and here there were…
sixty-four!
Yue Ying suddenly became stunned, her complexion collapsing, forlorn—how utterly indiscreet this Turtle was!
With such a treasure and not hiding it away, flaunting it before her on purpose—there was no intention of letting her leave, was there?
Or was it to kill her and silence her?
Yue Ying’s breath caught in a sob when the voice of the creator seemed to come from the sky, “Don’t overthink it!
This is an accident!”
Grand Ancestor Tai feigned realization, “No wonder!
That Little Dragon of yours is unscrupulous, throwing this thing into the volcano at Old Phoenix’s place!
