1321: Chapter 1: I’ve Arrived in This Era!_2 1321: Chapter 1: I’ve Arrived in This Era!_2 Mingzu chuckled, “Eighty thousand years!”
Su He fell silent, a snap of the fingers equated to eighty thousand years…
“How long has it been since Thai Zu broke out of his shell?”
Mingzu laughed heartily, “Ancient Thai…
in another two thousand years, it will be forty thousand years.
That fellow emerged as a Dragon Turtle, gifted beyond measure but cultivating very slowly, barely opening the heavens once in nearly ten thousand years.”
This is practically the progress of a Dragon Turtle who sleeps rather than cultivates!
Ancient Thai…
Su He’s eyes suddenly brightened, still claiming not to be a Taoist Ancestor?
Ancient Thai, Tai Gu, does this name change have any significance?
Su He recalled another matter, he stomped down with one paw, sealing all directions to prevent spying, then whispered mysteriously to Mingzu: “Old ancestor, do you know the second disciple of Taoist Ancestor, is in fact the Netherworld King, named Ming?”
Mingzu opened his mouth to reveal a bitter smile: “I know!
But…
it should have nothing to do with me…”
“Really?” Su He looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, if it is unrelated, why do you appear guilty?
Mingzu shrugged his Turtle Shell: “Indeed, it has nothing to do with me!
I broke out of my shell in a shattered Netherworld, surrounded only by dark mountains and murky waters.
Upon breaking out of my eggshell, I devoured that Netherworld and transcended its boundary to become a Dragon Turtle, finding myself in the Mystery Yellow, discovered by other Dragon Turtles.”
Born in the Netherworld, growing by feasting on the Netherworld.
That is the origin of his name, unrelated to the Netherworld King.
Otherwise, having reached his level of Boundary Status, how could he not know?
Su He nodded with skepticism.
If the chance arises to meet the Netherworld King in the future, everything will come to light.
Furthermore, this is merely out of curiosity, the outcome doesn’t matter much.
“Old ancestor, are you keeping a full moon trapped in your Taiyuan?
Could you give me a strand of Hao Yue’s Origin Qi?”
This matter, Su He did not forget.
Back when Thai Zu gave him the aura of the Golden Crow, he reminded him to seek a wisp of Bright Moon’s Golden Toad origin Qi from Mingzu.
“Bright Moon?” Mingzu blinked.
Do I really have such capability?
How come I am not aware of it?
He smiled slightly embarrassedly: “Bright Moon, the Sun, their power is comparable to that of an Immortal Sovereign, with the ability to shine over the Ten Thousand Realms and accumulate merit.
To imprison them, one must possess power that transcends an Immortal Sovereign, and your old ancestor…
I simply can’t do it!
Where did you get such news from?”
“Thai Zu said so,” mumbled Su He.
Isn’t this the Mingzu from this era?
However, Mingzu’s eyes lit up, does this mean that one day he’ll surpass the Immortal Sovereign?
He burst into hearty laughter: “Rest assured, if that day comes, I’ll be the first to imprison that Bright Moon for you!”
Mingzu raised his head to peek at the night sky, where the crescent moon was barely noticeable on the second day of the month.
But the only one there seemed to shrink back as if it heard the declaration.
It must have been the clouds passing by.
Just then, a slight tear appeared in the space, and a pattern resembling an eye floated out, looking left and right.
It saw Mingzu but didn’t witness any great battle.
Then, a Dragon head with an indistinguishable color cautiously peeked out from another Space Rift.
After looking around to ensure there was no danger, it snickered and crawled out.
Upon emerging, it saw Su He beneath Mingzu’s feet and its eyes gleamed: “Eh?
Is there a clansman here?
Fantastic!
What’s the clansman’s name?”
As it spoke, it circled around Su He: “Tsk tsk, clansman, you have condensed an Opening Heaven Divine Artifact capable of Opening Heaven Five-fold!
Preparing to stand on your own?
Excellent, excellent!”
Continuing, it leaned towards Su He: “This clansman, I’ve never met before, you haven’t been back to Di Mountain in these three thousand years, have you?
Have you heard of my name, Ancient Thai?”
He was born in the Star Sea, and it took thirty thousand years of hustling in the Star Sea before finally getting the chance to return to the Mystery Yellow Big World—returning from the Star Sea isn’t an easy feat.
Having only been back for three thousand years, not all Dragon Turtles have seen him.
Seeing the astonishment in Su He’s eyes.
Thai Zu boasted proudly: “Not having heard of it doesn’t matter, you can casually inquire and see what reputation Ancient Thai holds!
As a clansman on the verge of independence, without the protection of the clan, this world is fraught with danger…
Do you need protection?
How about learning about the Ancient Thai Hitter Group?
We have Dragon Turtles, White Dragons, and Human Cultivators!
The price is reasonable and fair to old and young!”
Ancient Thai’s expression was serious and his eyes shone brightly: “I could take you under my wing, guarding you for twelve hours a day!
Or, I could leave a mark on you, ready at a moment’s call in case of danger—my Space Divine Skills, you just witnessed them yourself.”
Su He: “…”
You, who’ve just reached the Opening Heaven Four-fold, are doing security work for Dragon Turtles prepared to stand alone at Opening Heaven Five-fold?
How does this sound…
so matter-of-fact?
Little Grand Ancestor patted Su He’s Shell: “Don’t worry!
We’re family, I’ll give you a…
seven-tenths discount!” he glanced at Mingzu and gritted his teeth.
His heart was bleeding.
An Abacus materialized above his head, clattering as it calculated, then floated towards Su He: “Just this amount will do!”
Eight million Spirit Stones?
With even and odd to the exact!
Su He: “…”
Call me elder clansman!
Thai Zu was taken aback: “Eh?
Elder clansman is it?
That works too…” He suddenly turned deferential: “Meeting an elder clansman, isn’t there a customary gift exchange…?”
Su He: “…”
Has this guy only got money on his mind?
Despite this, Su He still pulled out two peaches and tossed them over: “Here, reward for my elder clansman.”
As soon as they were taken out, a spirit breeze emitted from the peaches.
These were peaches originally shriveled on a tree stolen from Emperor Luan’s Secret Chamber, but after being planted at the Long Moon Mansion, they gradually plumped up, and Su He had just picked them upon returning.
Although they didn’t possess the legendary effects of a Fairy Peach, if consumed by mortals, extending one’s lifespan beyond six hundred years was no difficult feat.
Thai Zu’s eyes immediately lit up, these peaches… could be sold for a great price!
