1273: Chapter 375: Tai for the Path, the Ancient for the Buddha 1273: Chapter 375: Tai for the Path, the Ancient for the Buddha The handwriting is so uniquely ugly – no one else could have come up with it.
Exceptionally high anti-counterfeit feature.
He indeed came here.
For some reason, when Su He’s gaze fell upon the drumhead made of cowhide, he felt a chill in his heart, as if a small knife was peeling off his skin.
Way too creepy!
Su He turned his head around to survey the grass hut; the furnishings inside were extremely simple – just one table, one chair, and a big bed.
On the bed, a pair of mandarin duck pillows under a canopy of blue gauze.
A letter had fallen between the two pillows.
Su He stepped forward to pick it up.
He didn’t know what material the letter was made of – tough yet soft, with a faint trace of the Power of Time ensuring the letter wouldn’t decay for billions of years.
He unfolded the letter and several lines of playful words caught his eye.
“Heehee, you’re here~ Little clan Disciple, guess who I am~”
The handwriting alone conveyed an image of a mischievous fellow, taunting and giggling in front of him.
Was it Baiyin or White Spirit?
Su He began to smile.
Wasn’t this the little bride lost from his home?
Wandering outside for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, without touching home…
Su He continued reading.
A fierce blot of ink on the letter: “Ptooey!
Like getting ivory from a dog’s mouth, daring to call me your bride, I’ll kill you!”
…A tapeworm spirit?
The handwriting on the letter continued: “I’m not a tapeworm!
Can your family’s tapeworm become a Proof of the Tao Immortal Sovereign?!”
Su He: “…”
He looked left and right, all around.
He was certain that neither Baiyin nor White Spirit had left their Consciousness Body here, and their true body was even less likely to be present—considering Su He’s current abilities with the Pangolin within him, even an Immortal Sovereign would have a hard time escaping his scrutiny.
Especially in the Origin Space.
After searching around and finding nothing, Su He read on.
The words on the letter remained: “Heehee…
I can’t predict you anymore, but since we’re so close, guessing your reaction is a piece of cake.
How is it?
Aren’t I impressive, sis?”
Su He smiled wryly.
If this girl were in front of him, he would definitely need to ruffle her hair and mess it up!
“Hehe, I took something from the Origin Space.
Although Sword Mountain is very safe, that guy out there is getting stronger and stronger.
Before she splits herself, we don’t want to fight her.
So as not to get discovered, I’ve quietly taken the item away.
If you want it…
come find me in Ancient Times!”
So it was Baiyin!
Each line reeked of “if you have an objection, come at me”.
Su He guessed that she was referring to the core of Origin Space?
This girl infiltrated the Origin Space and took away the core?
How did she get in?
Can you even cheat in this place?
Surprised, Su He saw the letter continued: “Heehee…
Do you see the drum skin on the wall?
Guess what it is?”
An ominous feeling rose from the bottom of Su He’s heart, and as he quickly read on, indeed…
“Hehe, it’s not made of cowhide!
That’s right, it’s your skin!
Guess how many of your Avatars were used?
— Six!
A whole six!
Skins for drums, bones for mallets, one strike filling the sky with Tao Rhythm!”
Su He’s face turned completely dark.
Even through the paper, he could feel the girl’s schadenfreude.
“Why not we start selling your Avatars some day?
They’ll be an absolute hit across All Heavens!
Then we won’t be short of money anymore.”
Su He’s hand trembled…
Then he saw a playful tongue-sticking-out emoji drawn on the paper.
Vivid: “No need for divination to know you disagree!
Since I met you, your fortunes were scattered and I never had financial luck again!”
Gnashing teeth!
Su He laughed out loud.
The first time-travel was the hardest, completely orchestrated by Baiyin without him knowing.
All he knew was that Baiyin had cut off half of her existence into him and had also scammed an Immortal Sovereign out of his entire fortune—it seemed she also owed Tan Tai a big debt.
He continued to read.
“Hey hey!
I know the moment you saw this place you thought of your little bride.
Place your hand on the drum skin and try to contact her!
This is her Sword Mountain, you can summon her here—don’t worry, I personally confirmed that Sword Mountain is only present in the Sword Dao River and doesn’t touch any other Great Tao.
Her coming here can only be beneficial, just don’t leave Sword Mountain—or even the grass hut—and that’s a bargain for you!”
The handwriting here became very dissatisfied: “Humph!
I’ve lain on the mandarin duck bed.
You’ll be sleeping in a second-hand bed.
Bite me!”
Su He: “…”
“Hmm…
you’ve come to the Origin Space again, but has Little Turtle grown to the point where he can Suppression that existence with one finger?
Did that woman leave with all the Tao Seals?
If she has already left… little clan Disciple, come find me in Ancient Times!
If late…
total loss oh!
You have only one chou—your one chou, within a chou, come find me!”
Only Baiyin could call Thai Zu Little Turtle.
After all, before Thai Zu even hatched, Baiyin had already become a Proof of Tao Immortal Sovereign.
Truly a senior!
Despite Baiyin’s playful tone, Su He perceived the seriousness hidden within.
Su He held the letter, lost in thought.
What would happen when that woman collected the Symbols?
Could she invade this place without needing the Origin Core, given one chou?
Did Baiyin want him to retrieve the core from Ancient Times to come and fight for it here?
If one were to occupy the Origin Space…
would they become like Heaven’s Dao?
Su He’s heart raced, but then he shook his head again.
No way, if it were that simple, Taoist Ancestor would’ve done it by now!
Taoist Ancestor alone could contend with Yuan, not to mention the Tian Emperor, Netherworld King, and Tao Master, his three powerful Disciples.
If not for some colossal catastrophe, how could things have come to this point today?
There must be something he didn’t know.
The letter ended there.
Su He held the letter in thought for a moment, and with a tap of his finger, the letter expanded infinitely.
First like a flag, then like a curtain.
Indeed, after magnifying it, he found another line of small words in a corner.
“Hehe, you found it!
A bargain for you~ Come early, there’s a reward for coming earlier~~ I’m confident I can persuade Tan Tai~~”
