842: Chapter 225 Di Mountain_3 842: Chapter 225 Di Mountain_3 Ya Ya licked the shrimp pearl and, before anyone knew it, had fallen asleep on Tai Zu’s Turtle Shell.
It had been over two years since she entered the Mystery Yellow Heavens, and the little girl had barely slept at all.
She indeed needed a long sleep.
The Little Turtle, being gluttonous, clung tightly to the shrimp pearl even in sleep.
A streak of thunder silently shot out from Tai Zu, landing on Ya Ya and transforming into a small Thunder Pool.
For a Thunder Dragon Turtle, the Thunder Pool was like the ocean to Su He.
Ya Ya’s entire body relaxed, and the shrimp pearl rolled off the Turtle Shell of Tai Zu.
Before touching the ground, however, it flew up again and landed in Ya Ya’s arms, tightly embraced by the little Dragon Turtle’s claws.
Su Huanian walked to a corner of Taihe Palace, her foot stepping down and freezing the area she was on, completely encasing her in ice.
“Ice Break?” Su He exclaimed.
His wife had mastered Ice Break better than he had!
In terms of talent alone, Su Huanian was above Su He.
She was purely a Sword Cultivator and didn’t learn much else – not that she couldn’t!
Su He blinked.
Ice Break could be used like this?
Ice Break wasn’t about how powerful it was, but about its lofty purpose.
In the philosophy of Ice Break, ice represented everything.
Everything encapsulated in ice—void, reality, True Yuan, space…
nothing compared to ice.
It regarded ice as absolutely supreme, therefore when the ice shattered, everything else collapsed!
Just like when an Emperor dies, the entire Court collapses.
From this perspective, freezing oneself and then comprehending the Laws of Ice was indeed twice as effective.
But the comprehension obtained this way, wasn’t it purely ice, akin to an Ice Empress?
Su He blinked, involuntarily imagining Su Huanian dressed in the pure white garb of an Ice Empress.
He was… slightly excited!
Not good!
His status was changing again!
He had finally stabilized his Tao heart, where he didn’t display “mating urges” upon seeing them, and could cultivate in peace.
Su He held his breath, focused his mind, and closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into the Xuanwu True Body Starry Sky, perceiving the movement of the starry heavens and the implications of the seven asterisms.
At the same time, he silently recited the Tao Te Ching.
The Xuanwu Demonstration Decision encompassed all that was Xuan Wu, but whether one could understand it, comprehend it, and turn it into a cultivable Cultivation Technique depended on the cultivator’s own abilities.
Su He immersed in cultivation, with the Moral Scriptural Tao’s Rhythm slowly spreading from his body in all directions.
The Grand Ancestor Clone, half-asleep, briefly opened his eyes to glance at Su He, then slowly closed them again.
This youngster indeed had the depth to become “Yuan.” Even just this Tao Scripture, if it fell into enemy hands, they might be refined and become “Yuan.”
Wasn’t this what Baiyin sought after initially?
Only later did his path go awry, trying to steal chickens only to lose the rice, and he got himself involved as well…
With the flow of Tao Rhythm, Su Huanian in her cultivation and Ya Ya in her slumber both relaxed, unknowingly sinking into the implications of the Tao.
…
In the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm, Di Mountain.
This place looked completely different from what Su He had seen in ancient times.
There were no signs of the Dragon Turtle activity, and everything had returned to its most primitive state.
Waterfalls roared between the mountains and forests, with streams flowing swiftly.
There were insect sounds, bird calls, and wild boars howling.
Following the waterfall upstream, the once half-submerged End of the World Cave was now on the cliff mid-way.
Past the End of the World Cave was the true Dragon Turtle Ancestral Land.
In ancient times, with the End of the World Cave as a barrier, only Dragon Turtles could enter.
Outsiders, even Immortal Sovereigns, needed the guidance of a Dragon Turtle to enter—except Baiyin.
But now, even Dragon Turtles were not allowed into the End of the World Cave unless their Tao Cultivation truly reached the highest level.
Wasteland Ancestor wanted to bring Red Ancestor over, but had to break through his realm in advance, carrying the aura of an Immortal Sovereign, to gain entry.
At this moment within Di Mountain, the expanse no longer resembled the boundless vastness of the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm; instead, from the vast world of Ancient times, only one mountain and one river remained.
A great mountain settled on the ancestral land, and climbing up along it led to a lake akin to the Heavenly Pond.
At this time, the Wasteland Ancestor’s transparent body was semi-hidden in the air, and above the sky, bolts of thunder struck down toward the water below, but the Wasteland Ancestor stiffened his body and fully blocked them.
Each thunderbolt had the power to obliterate a Stepping Sky Seven-fold cultivator, striking the Wasteland Ancestor like rain.
Motionless, he resembled a huge mountain.
The water below seemed to melt into golden liquid, in which a Dragon Turtle quietly soaked.
With the thunderbolts striking his head, the Wasteland Ancestor watched over the pool and the Red Ancestor, his eyes flickering with an understanding expression.
It was rumored that aside from the Dragon Gate, the Dragon clan once had the Dragon Transformation Pool, but it had long since shattered and could no longer be found.
Did the aura of dragon qi in this pool not come from a treasure stolen by the Old Turtle from the Dragon clan?
Probably not, it likely was something Grand Ancestor Tai scavenged from the Star Sea.
He vaguely remembered the rumors that, back when the Heavenly Court still existed, the Dragon clan’s Dragon Transformation Pool was positioned within the Heavenly Court.
Had Grand Ancestor Tai moved this pool to Di Mountain, did the Dragon clan know?
However…
this pool was quite useful!
The Yuan Power contained in the pool even made him feel apprehensive.
The Buddha World has the Buddha Pond, from which the Turtle Kid forcefully snatched two Buddha’s Outer Garments.
To slay Stepping Sky Seven-fold was akin to slaughtering chickens.
If that Turtle Kid could extract the power of the Dragon Transformation Pool, then those types of garments, he could condense as many as he wanted!
At this moment, the Red Ancestor soaked in the pool, his shattered body already recovered, yet the Red Ancestor did not emerge.
His originally bright red body had now undergone a change.
It turned golden, as if cast from gold.
Not only did the pool restore his injuries, but it also endowed him with another attribute.
Gold!
Unlike White Spirit’s purely sharp gold attribute, the Red Ancestor’s gold attribute gave the Wasteland Ancestor a sense of real gold; it might not be sharp enough, but it was substantial and gravitas.
Once the Old Turtle came out again, its defensive power would probably increase a level.
However, the Dragon Turtle had always exhibited a single attribute; the addition of another attribute out of the blue was neither clearly good nor bad, and the Wasteland Ancestor could not judge, as such a thing had never happened before—except for Grand Ancestor Tai.
Grand Ancestor Tai…
Which clan’s old ancestor didn’t have something special about them?
Moreover, Grand Ancestor Tai didn’t reveal two attributes all at once; he was whatever attribute you thought he was.
A bolt of lightning struck, and from overhead a long chant of the Dragon Turtle was heard.
The Wasteland Ancestor looked up and caught a glimpse of a Dragon Turtle phantom, unfamiliar to him, flashing past with the lightning.
This was a trace left behind by a Dragon Turtle that once lived on Di Mountain.
Such phantoms, the Wasteland Ancestor had seen no less than ten of them during these years here.
Out of ten or so Dragon Turtles, only one had left a Tao shadow in the Heritage Sea; it turned out most of the Dragon Turtle Tribe had not left any Tao shadows!
Where had these turtles gone?
The Wasteland Ancestor knew much more than the younger generations.
Just like when he was a cub, the Dragon Turtle Tribe also had Grand Ancestor Tai as their ancestor, but back then, there were other adult Dragon Turtles.
He, like Su He, had been cared for by other adult Dragon Turtles.
But from when, these Dragon Turtles had disappeared one by one, unknowingly, and a million years had passed.
Now, as he became an ancestor and looked around, the tribe was full of younger members.
Now that his Boundary Status had been elevated and he had entered the ancestral land, was it not time for the Old Turtle to divulge some secrets to him?
