836: Chapter 223: The Difference of Opening Heaven Three-fold_3 836: Chapter 223: The Difference of Opening Heaven Three-fold_3 Qing felt a jolt of surprise and his expression subtly changed as he looked towards Su Huanian and Ya Ya.
Thai Zu chuckled, “Don’t worry, they both have the foundation of an Immortal Sovereign, knowing won’t cause any harm.”
Having said that, the old turtle turned to Qing: “As for you…
it doesn’t matter anymore.
You’ve already become the Netherworld Passage; with more lice, you don’t itch, just pull them in!”
Qing: “…”
Indeed, he wasn’t his real parent.
No wonder Red Ancestor had offended Thai Zu and had his name removed.
Qing now seriously suspected that it was the two joking around, and Thai Zu, unable to take a joke, had exerted his authority!
Seeing his expression, Thai Zu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Qing, having turned into the Netherworld, there wouldn’t likely be any issues.
If he died, at worst, they would just find a way to resurrect him from Feng Zhong.
Having congealed a Peacock True Body, it couldn’t just be for decoration.
After he finished laughing, he added, “I haven’t come to Mystery Yellow Cave Sky this time.
My consciousness can only stay for a limited time, so if you have any doubts, ask them all now!”
Mystery Yellow Cave Sky is special, and the little Turtle can inquire about any issues now, so he wouldn’t always silently complain that the old folks were hiding secrets.
With permission to ask, Qing didn’t know what to ask.
In fact, he didn’t have that many questions.
After thinking for a while, he asked, “Old Ancestor, apart from the Kangua at Wasteland Ancestor’s place, do you know where else we can find hexagrams?
—— From our own people!”
It wasn’t very realistic to try to snatch hexagrams from enemies before reaching Heaven Five-fold.
Thai Zu thought for a moment, “The Qilin Clan has two, the Dragon Clan has two, aside from the Ge Gua you obtained, the old Phoenix there has two more, but currently he is guarding the passage, with nothing to do.
You can go to him first.
Guiwang Mountain has one too, but the hexagram of Guiwang Mountain is suppressing a forbidden area and can’t easily be borrowed until you reach the fourth or fifth tier of Opening Heaven, then you can try.
If you can enter the forbidden area, you might obtain it.”
Most of the locations were as Qing had guessed, and he took note of them one by one.
Then he heard Thai Zu add, “Right, that ‘turn head is shore’ little Phoenix from your family should also have one!”
“Little Aunt?” Qing was overjoyed.
It would be somewhat embarrassing to directly ask the Phoenix Ancestor, whom he wasn’t very familiar with, for a hexagram.
But borrowing a hexagram from his little aunt didn’t cause him any pressure.
People are wonderfully strange.
Before in Feng Zhong, he saw Phoenix Chao Fei as a life-and-death enemy, and even in Feng Zhong, he was cautious in cooperation.
But as soon as Yun Li came out, their relationship immediately drew closer.
Especially after joining forces against a common enemy, Qing was now completely open in front of that proud Phoenix.
He even felt that his relationship with Phoenix Chao Fei might eventually surpass that with Yun Li.
Is it true that one cannot understand someone until they fight?
Seeing him, Thai Zu smiled and said, “Don’t be too hasty about the hexagrams.
You’ve only been in the Second Tier for two or three years.
Polish it further, and before you open the Third Layer of Heaven, you must bring your Inner World to its peak!”
He looked at Qing, “The third Layer is different from the rest of Opening Heaven; it’s the most important one for the Four Spirits.”
Qing nodded.
The importance of the Third Layer of Heaven had been repeatedly stressed in the experiences of every predecessor in the Heritage Sea.
The reason why the Four Spirits stand apart from all other Divine God Beasts is not merely because the Four Spirits can open the Seven Heavens!
Bai Ze could also open Seven Heavens, and legend has it that when the Gluttonous Beast existed, it too could open Seven Heavens, but were not called “Spirit”!
The true divergence in combat power between the Four Spirits Divine God Beast and ordinary Divine God Beasts started at the Third Heaven.
The Third Heaven of the Four Spirits far surpasses that of other Divine God Beasts.
The Four Spirits begin to sculpt spirits at the Opening Heaven Three-fold!
Depending on the Inner World, different living creatures start to appear within it!
Just like Wasteland Ancestor’s Inner World had Water Element Living Spirits, and the Inner Worlds of Red Ancestor and Uncle Zhu had Fire-element Living Spirits.
Although the creatures of the Inner World cannot leave it and are exceedingly simple, they are indeed living beings.
After the Opening Heaven Three-fold, True Yuan now contains the aura of living beings, which is the fundamental distinction between Four Spirits Divine God Beast and ordinary Divine God Beasts!
Qing’s Inner World had not converged on any particular Law nor favored any specific attribute.
It was as balanced as the real world.
In the future, the living creatures he condensed would likely not be limited to any single type.
Qing looked up at Thai Zu, “Old Ancestor, may I have a look at your Inner World?”
Thai Zu’s attributes did not display outwardly.
Under normal circumstances, no matter who it was, their elemental attributes would be crystal clear regardless of how high their Boundary Status was.
Ji Feixue’s Water attribute and White Spirit’s Gold attribute were well-known, and even the most ancient Phoenix Ancestor from the Phoenix Clan was recorded as having the Fire attribute.
Only Thai Zu was an exception; no matter how much Su He tried, he could not discern Thai Zu’s attribute.
This Old Turtle’s attribute kept changing with the observer’s thoughts.
When Su He thought that Thai Zu had a Gold attribute, indeed, Thai Zu appeared to have a Gold attribute.
When he thought that Thai Zu should have an Earth attribute, the Old Turtle indeed turned out to be Earth attributed.
Even when he felt that the Old Turtle should have no attribute at all, upon looking at Thai Zu again, he really seemed to lack any attribute.
He wondered, what kind of Inner World did such a Turtle have?
Su He felt that, if he were to take reference, perhaps Thai Zu’s Inner World might offer the greatest value?
He eagerly looked at Thai Zu, only to see Thai Zu shake his head gently, “You are too weak.
If you go in, you will die—not just the Consciousness Body that enters, but your physical body will die too.”
The world of cultivation is just that cruel; you’re too weak to even take a glimpse.
Su He: “…”
Was he being looked down upon?
Thai Zu laughed heartily, “If you reach Heaven Five-fold, I will let you have a look!
However, right now, I can take a look at your Inner World.
Perhaps an Old Turtle’s advice may still be of some use?”
Su He was overjoyed and immediately opened his mind.
His Telekinesis reached out, trying to pull Thai Zu into his Inner World.
However, Thai Zu just laughed and materialized a tiny Intention Avatar that followed Su He’s lead into his Inner World.
Given Thai Zu’s size, even only an avatar of his in this place would be enough to completely collapse Su He’s Inner World upon direct entry, beyond any hope of repair.
As he guided Thai Zu’s Intention Avatar, Su He turned to look at Su Huanian, “Wife, do you want to have a look?”
Su Huanian shook her head; she had memories from Tan Tai entering in the Ancient Times.
It was better for her to stay outside as a protector.
“Take Ya Ya with you!” Although Ya Ya followed the Martial Divine God’s Path, the Dragon Turtle was her foundation, and sooner or later, she would face Opening The Heaven.
Taking her to extend her knowledge would be very beneficial for her future cultivation.
“Sure!” Su He laughed heartily, and with a swirl of his consciousness, completely enveloped Ya Ya into his Inner World.
Ya Ya felt the world spinning around her, and when the scenery changed and she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange world.
Yet, this world gave her a sense of extreme familiarity, as if…
it was just like when she was inside the egg.
Comfortable and pleasant!
Beside her stood Thai Zu, his four feet planted on the ground, as if he were a Divine God Beast suppressing heaven and earth.
He looked around and then cast his eyes over Tai’a Mountain and Little Sixty-Four Hexagrams, a surprise rising in his murky old eyes.
He nodded and smiled, “You two are really something, actually managing to create this!”
His gaze moved away from Tai’a Mountain and fell upon Yue Ying at the foot of a mountain range, revealing a hint of surprise again, “Tian Nu Clan?”
“Eh?
Old Ancestor, you recognize her?”
Thai Zu laughed, “I’ve lived long enough that I know a little about many things.
They can barely be considered a continuation of the Bu Tian Clan.
If you can subdue and turn them into followers to stay in your Inner World, it would be quite good.”
The Little Turtle’s Inner World was unlike other Dragon Turtles’—it did not specifically lean towards his own attribute, yet it was suitable for the Tian Nu Clan to live in.
It was a solution that served both interests well.
Thai Zu laughed, observing all around him.
Su He shrank into his Turtle Shell, feeling oddly exposed as if he had been stripped clean of all secrets.
“Netherworld…” Thai Zu glanced over and muttered softly, his gaze sweeping past the Netherworld and lingering briefly on the Ghost Creature named “Zhong”, before moving on to other areas.
After thoroughly observing the Inner World and looking up at the sky, he smiled slightly, “Little fellow, don’t you think your Inner World is missing something?”
