846: Chapter 227: Imprisoning the Sun (Special Reason Combined Once) 846: Chapter 227: Imprisoning the Sun (Special Reason Combined Once) (I was delayed by matters today and fell a few hundred words short of finishing.
I’ll repeat a section at the end for now; everyone please look at it later.
I’m truly sorry; I got hung up and chewed out by someone…
I haven’t done the final edits yet; it’s midnight, so I’ll release what I have.
It’s probably best to read it in the morning.
I likely won’t finish the final edits until about 1 am.
I have to release it before midnight…
otherwise I’ll break my daily ten thousand word streak, and the smart push will be gone, which I’ve barely managed to maintain for nearly twenty days.
Sorry.
I’m truly sorry.)
Thai Zu’s eyes suddenly widened.
A look of amazement and wisdom flowed from his once-murky old eyes.
Turtle Kid refining the Origin of the Great Sun wouldn’t surprise him.
In his lifetime, he’d seen plenty of surprising and unexpected things.
Looking back at his thirty million years of Turtle Life, actually, half of the events that truly left a mark were beyond expectation.
What astonished Thai Zu was Su He’s method of refining the Origin of the Great Sun.
He didn’t understand a single thing about this series of operations.
Thai Zu’s gaze fell upon the Fusang tree within the Great Sun; the two trees entwined and twisted around each other, braided like strands.
The trace of maternal affection Su He left behind had already been consumed by the Great Sun.
The moment the Golden Crow fell into the Great Sun, it was refined and became one with the red river within the Great Sun, taking the form of outspread wings ready to soar.
Thai Zu watched for a long time and still couldn’t understand what this refining method was.
He suddenly became extremely interested.
There’s nothing to fear in this world if there are things you don’t understand; the fear is in understanding everything.
Look at one thing, you understand; look at another, you understand again.
Everything becomes dull, and apart from sleeping, there is nothing to do.
Turtle Kid had piqued his interest.
Thai Zu continued to watch, and Su He didn’t stop refining the Origin of the Great Sun.
Instead, he remained stationary in the air, his front claws tumbling, as if toying with something.
With a swipe of Su He’s turtle claws, he pulled out the Fusang tree from the Great Sun.
The trunk shook and reverted to a Silver Maple Tree, another wave of his claw and the maple tree was returned to Yue Ying.
Su He’s gaze fell once again on the Great Sun.
Inside the sun, the Golden Crow would move its wings, following the setting of the Great Sun.
However, just by entering the Great Sun from the outside world, the aura changed completely.
From Su He’s perspective, it wasn’t even refining, but rather achieving a certain condition that happens naturally?
It was not like Artifact Refining which altered anything; it was just inserting the Golden Crow, and it adopted the Su surname.
Gone was its previous untamed pride.
A flap of its wings unleashed a magnificent power of the sun.
Yet the anticipated catastrophic event, with the sky scorching the world with ten suns, did not occur.
Perhaps it just caused a bit of dryness, a bit of irritability?
This was not the focal point; with a flap of the Crow’s wings, the Power of the World within the Inner World surged, flowing from the Boundary Pearl into the Dantian and throughout the body.
A palpitation arose.
The palpitation came from within the body!
Su He exited his Inner World and returned to introspective state, tracing the source of the palpitation.
His “gaze” fell upon the Power of Time within his body.
Actually, calling it Power of Time might not be quite right, just like you can’t call the Dantian True Yuan.
Since returning from Ancient Times, there was something different about Su He’s Boundary Pearl.
Originally, the Boundary Pearl was like a planet, floating in the lower abdomen.
Later…
Su He had a Dantian, and the Boundary Pearl was like a star suspended in Chaos.
After returning from Ancient Times, the Boundary Pearl had something extra; outside of it was a Star Ring, with gems that shone brightly within, which were the true essence of Su He’s Power of Time.
Using Divine Skills like Astonishing Swan consumed these gems.
And the Star Ring—could continuously condense the Power of Time.
Su He speculated that to leap out of time once more, to wander at will, it was all about this Star Ring.
Previously he didn’t know how to use the Star Ring, didn’t know how to actively condense the Power of Time.
He could only borrow the bit accumulated from touching the River of Time upon returning from Ancient Times.
The Star Ring might condense a bit more each day, just enough for the needs of Astonishing Swan.
But just then, when the Golden Crow took its place, the sudden burst of power streamed into the Star Ring, and several pieces of the Power of Time condensed out of it.
Although he didn’t yet understand the principle of the Star Ring absorbing the power of the Golden Crow and spitting out the Power of Time, he had found a path!
So it turns out that in the practice of immortality, the law of energy conservation applies; the Power of Time can’t come for nothing.
My damn fate, it’s truly extraordinary.
Su He smiled and exited the introspective state.
Cultivation isn’t something that happens overnight, and the Power of Time can’t be used lightly.
There’s Thai Zu outside, while within the Baiyun Palace there are Ji Feixue and Phoenix Chao Fei.
Especially Phoenix Chao Fei, who was able to remove the chaotic Power of Time from his body within Feng Zhong, must have done considerable research on it.
They are all on the same side; he can ask them without holding back when the time comes.
It’s good to have more strong supporters on one’s journey.
When Su He opened his eyes, what met his gaze was Thai Zu’s eyes shimmering with wisdom—though it was evident he was perplexed, his presence still conveyed the feeling of a great elder with endless experience.
Su He tilted his head to look at Thai Zu and began to smile.
Not to mention Thai Zu’s bewilderment, he himself was also baffled.
This world has no gods like Emperor Jun or Xi He, Su He was certain!
But why, when he mimicked Xi He, did the Golden Crow voluntarily enter the Great Sun?
Before Thai Zu could speak, Su He took the initiative, “Elder Zu, about the Dragon Turtle Crosses the Catastrophe…
how much authority do you have?”
Thai Zu smiled, “What’s this?
Are you looking for a shortcut?
Thinking of bringing someone into our Dragon Turtle Tribe?”
He looked at Su He with a smile, “That’s not possible.
Not everyone has that capability!
I can decide whether Heavenly Punishment should fall or not but I can’t control the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!”
The Divine God Beasts are forbidden from reincarnating.
For a reincarnated being to become a Divine God Beast, they face Heavenly Punishment, and under the Heavenly Law, it’s certain death.
Thai Zu can decide whether the Heavenly Punishment descends or not.
But if Heavenly Punishment doesn’t descend, just like White Spirit and Su He, they don’t experience it.
However, if Heavenly Punishment doesn’t fall, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is elevated to an irresistible level.
