1009: Chapter 286 Human Form ×0.2_6 1009: Chapter 286 Human Form ×0.2_6 The Azure Dragon was suddenly stunned, even Ji Feixue slightly furrowed her brows.
The Tian Emperor regretted his decision?
Su He paused for a moment, then suddenly stamped his foot in frustration!
Damn it!
My Peacock Body has screwed me over again!
To cultivate a human form would mean becoming a true Xuanwu—strictly speaking, what Su He had cultivated was not a human form, but an Innate Taoist Body!
But whose Innate Taoist Body comes with wings?
And, whose Xuanwu can only manifest its human form for less than two hours?
This is nothing but a half-finished product!
The Imperial Edict was issued and then regretted…
What happened to the saying “a ruler’s word cannot be taken back, and even a team of horses cannot catch it”?
Is the Heavenly Court’s Tian Emperor so fickle?
Does the Imperial Edict have a return function?
Su He brooded for a long while.
He could feel that the moment the Imperial Edict descended upon him, it had already established a connection with him in the unseen world.
If one day Su He’s wings disappeared and the Innate Taoist Body remained forever.
It would still descend upon him, and the office due to him would still exist.
Forget about the salary…
The Heavenly Court is no more!
The retraction of the Imperial Edict implied that Su He’s Xuanwu status was not yet complete.
However, a ruler’s word being irrevocable was not an empty promise.
As the Imperial Edict flew back and the gap in the Nine Heavens was sealed, a streak of golden light fell upon Su He, and the surging sound of ocean waves reached him.
Beside him unfolded an ethereal sea, its waves crashing tirelessly.
Within it, the Old Dragon rolled and brocaded carps signalled good fortune.
This was not a real sea, but a miraculous vision of heaven and earth!
Various wonders appeared atop the sea to celebrate the emergence of a new Xuanwu in the world.
The Imperial Edict had already declared that with Su He’s Proof of the Xuanwu, heaven and earth would rejoice, so heaven and earth now celebrated!
As the vision appeared, Su He’s connection with heaven and earth suddenly grew closer.
It was as if he could manipulate the Heaven and Earth Laws and grasp the authority of heaven and earth.
This was an ability inherent in the Xuanwu, no matter how weak— a Xuanwu was a Xuanwu, even a deformed one with wings!
In this moment: Dragon Turtle -1, Xuanwu +1
Before Su He could fully experience the authority of the Xuanwu, another glow descended from the sky, bringing another Imperial Edict.
This Imperial Edict was not as imposing as the previous one, for it was not condensed from the Laws but a genuine Imperial Edict crafted by man.
The Imperial Edict unfolded with a rustle, but there was no activity for a long while—The Heavenly Court no longer existed, and there was no one to promulgate it.
Su He looked up to see nothing but blank space on the Imperial Edict, except for the words at the beginning and end.
“By the will of the Emperor of the North appointed by Heaven, it decrees:…”
After “it decrees”, the content was missing, entirely blank, right until the end, where there were more words.
“Decree by, Yuan Meeting of the Heavenly Court, this treasure.”
This was a standard Imperial Edict, issued by the North Pole Emperor of the Heavenly Court, prepared long ago, written at the founding of the Heavenly Court and establishing the Laws.
As soon as someone proved the Dragon Turtle, the North Pole Emperor would issue an Imperial Edict.
Different from myths of previous generations, in this world’s Heavenly Court, there was a Tian Emperor and Emperors of the Four Directions, whom were the Four Sacred Beasts.
With a Turtle proving the Xuanwu, the North Pole Emperor would have his will, and perhaps the Imperial Edict might list rewards, mansions and such arrangements?
It would depend on different times for different arrangements, but right now with the Heavenly Court gone, no one filled in the content, and hence a blank Imperial Edict had fallen.
I wonder, apart from the North Pole Emperor, do the others who proved their Xuanwu worth…
count as the Prince of the Northern?
There is not only one Xuanwu in the world, nor is a Xuanwu necessarily the North Pole Emperor—Xuanwu differ from one another.
As do Dragon Turtles from Dragon Turtles.
Su He reached out to snatch the Imperial Edict from the air.
He bowed three times towards the sky, placing the Imperial Edict into the External Space—just as Su He had thought earlier, in human form, he could use both the power of the Dragon Turtle and Peacock simultaneously.
Ensuring no more surprises from the sky, Su He turned to look at Ji Feixue.
His wife had said, the Su He she had seen had wings.
A winged man—has arrived!
Su He smiled, ready to accept the drag of the Peacock Body no longer, and his heart swelled with immense joy.
In a flash, he was by Ji Feixue’s side, laughing heartily as he lifted her and spun around twice on the spot.
Ji Feixue’s cool demeanor became frozen in surprise for a moment, unable to react.
As soon as she regained her composure and was about to react, Su He grabbed her and ran outside.
Perhaps this place is a land of Suppression within Chaos, or perhaps because Su He’s Xuanwu was not fully realized, the miraculous vision did not spread beyond the Suppression Land.
The Black Dragon within the Chaos did not perceive anything unusual, still striving in its journey, etching Symbols.
Su He grinned coldly, “Wife, follow me to slay the Dragon!”
Human form lasted less than two hours, and for the vast majority of the day, he must maintain his beast form—speed was essential!
Only in human form could the power of the Xuanwu and Peacock fuse together and make it possible to suppress the Black Dragon.
He pulled Ji Feixue along, running forward, as Ji Feixue, looking down at the hand he held, was momentarily taken aback.
