1278: Chapter 376_3 1278: Chapter 376_3 “Don’t worry, after New Year’s Day, I will take you back with me.”
“Take me?” Su Huanian expressed surprise.
Su He nodded slightly, and squeezed Ji Feixue’s hand that was pinching his palm: “There you have the origin of Sword Mountain.
It was also through Sword Mountain that I projected my consciousness; I can only take you in.
Otherwise, our whole family would go!”
Not to mention anything else, but being right beside the River of the Great Tao, whether it’s Su Huanian or Ji Feixue, or even Ya Ya, what they would gain inside would surpass him.
With Su He’s little knowledge reserve, even though he enters Treasure Mountain, his gains are hard to come by.
Ji Feixue poked him with her finger: “I’ll consider what you’ve said to be barely acceptable.”
Su Huanian smiled, his face reddening slightly as if he’d thought of something.
Su He looked at the Divine God Beasts, satisfied and chatting everywhere, then after some thought, called out, “Esteemed predecessors!”
The Dragon, Phoenix, Tortoise, and Qilin all looked over here.
Even the Tao Masters turned their gaze this way.
Su He stood up and gave a slight bow: “When I return, I will need to leave for a while.
Esteemed uncles and aunts, if you have any excess, could you keep some Source Stones for me?”
Once he’s done with matters in the present, he will have to return to Ancient Times.
Su He is extremely confident that he will be able to open the Five-fold Heaven there.
The demand for Source Stones will only increase.
Back in Ancient Times, he won’t be able to cultivate in the Origin Space as he does now—if he could get in, he wouldn’t dare to enter lightly.
Without Thai Zu, Su He would never approach that finger.
All the people present are not outsiders; even the Water Monarch, who is not very familiar, is not so far removed in the relationship as she is very close to White Spirit.
They all know the characteristics of Su He’s cultivation: cheating, and spending a lot of money!
It’s not the first time Su He has borrowed money, with the repayment date being indefinitely far away.
He used to be Little Turtle Kid, and it was only natural for the uncles of the family to support him.
Now that he has passed the test and is truly independent, borrowing money is for real.
And it must be paid back!
Moreover—what kind of family borrows money during the New Year’s festivities!
And before such a large crowd, borrowing from everyone present.
Little Turtle Kid’s skin is indeed getting thicker.
Su Huanian was taken aback, somewhat at a loss.
She truly did not expect that just after pulling the two of them aside for a private chat, he would suddenly stand up and ask to borrow money?
Ji Feixue clenched her teeth even harder.
She wanted to slap the turtle so hard that he would fly out the door and never be allowed to enter again!
She had lived for more than seven hundred thousand years, surviving alone, struggling alone up to now, without ever having asked anyone for anything.
She couldn’t afford to lose that pride!
Just then, a space rift opened next to them, and Feng Qi popped out his head.
Hearing this, his eyes rolled, and he spoke up, “Borrow Source Stones, eh?
But you’re already a family man; you should have a compelling reason for us to lend them to you, right?”
The face of Feng Jiu turned dark; their family’s Old Seven was nice in every way except for being too weak and stingy.
But this time, the other Dragon Turtles and Phoenixes did not scorn Feng Qi; instead, they nodded in agreement.
Although they still habitually called him Little Turtle, he had indeed become independent.
Green Thunder put down a giant wine jar as big as a house and swayed his head as he looked towards Su He.
Su He thought for a while, “The place I’m going to next is the very ancient past.
It’s difficult to establish a Suppression Land outside alone, I can only rely on the support of my uncles…”
The crowd looked at him without speaking.
Isn’t it only natural to prepare your own provisions for a long journey?
Su He went silent for a moment, then weakly said: “If you lend me the Source Stones, once I open the Five-fold Heaven, I really won’t feel good about blocking your doors to ask for advice, nor will I broadcast the results across Heaven to seek guidance.”
Everyone: “…”
Despicable!
Making threats?
You think we fall for this?
Feng Qi snorted once, “We, the Divine Beasts of the Seven Heavens, are afraid of your seeking guidance?
But you do tend to run about in disorderly time, it’s indeed a big problem.
If you encounter any danger, we have no way to break through time and space to come to your aid.
Giving you some Source Stones, consider it a life-saving fund, and also a part of our responsibility as your uncles.”
With a snort, he flapped his wings, and a river of Source Stones flew over.
Inside his heart, Su He summoned a toad gnawing on a chicken leg from Changfeng City, who jumped over and swept away the Source Stones with a wave of its paw.
Su He’s consciousness body cannot store treasures.
“Thank you, Uncle Qi, for your generous love!” Su He expressed his thanks.
“Don’t mention it!” Feng Qi fully emerged from the space channel, flapping his wings and said, “Next, I’ll convert all the Source Stones from the Suppression Land into universal Source Stones.
You can send a Flying Sword to me before you leave.”
With Feng Qi taking the lead, Su He’s harvest of Source Stones suddenly flourished.
Knowing Su He’s nature, opening Heaven Five-fold is right before his eyes; with one departure, he might open the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
Just like this time, after leaving for only a few years, he managed to open two layers of Heaven.
…
Thinking this way, they suddenly didn’t want to lend him Source Stones anymore!
Streams of Source Stones converged into a mountain.
Even the Water Monarch, whom he was not very familiar with, offered a considerable amount.
They even promised to exclusively produce Source Stones for Su He for the next several decades.
Su He was in pain yet overjoyed, with no idea when he could ever clear such a towering debt.
Looking at the smiling Tao Master beside him, Su He approached as well: “There’s another matter I’d like to trouble the Tao Master with!”
“Mr.
Four, please speak freely!” The Tao Master said with a smile.
“Besides the Great Livestock Divination, are there other Hexagrams at Guiwang Mountain?
I don’t intend to take them away, but could the Tao Master allow me to comprehend them for some time?”
The Tao Master paused for a moment, thinking to himself that the Great Livestock Divination from his home might not be secure now?
He chuckled and said: “Of course, there are others!”
Guiwang Mountain is the Genesis Land, initially presided over by the Taoist Ancestor during the times of the Book of Changes.
It could be said that all Hexagrams originated from Guiwang Mountain, so it possesses the most Hexagrams in All Heavens!
“When Mr.
Four comes out of secluded cultivation, you may visit Guiwang Mountain.
I will personally wait for you there; Mr.
Four may comprehend any and all Hexagrams.”
“Many thanks to the Tao Master!” Su He laughed.
At this moment, the fifth Opening Heaven Divine Artifact was not yet fully condensed successfully; Su He estimated that he still needed two more Hexagrams.
It’s always good to have extras for any contingency!
The Water Monarch chuckled at the side: “If you need, you can also come to Qilin Cliff.
I grasp the Yigua and can lend it to you for comprehension.”
Before Su He could express his thanks, Phoenix Chao Fei was already glaring over: “Thirteen thousand years ago, the prior Empress Feng of the Seal Emperor was killed, and the Yigua was stolen.
Was it you who did it?”
This was a sensation among the Greater Powers of All Heavens at that time.
The murder of Empress Feng of the Sealed Emperor’s Palace…
was rather common!
His niece-in-law had done it many times.
However, having someone steal a Hexagram was unprecedented across All Heavens.
A Hexagram can only voluntarily recognize a master, or at most be forcibly suppressed by other Hexagrams, but it will never acknowledge another master again—Su He was an exception; cheating is disgraceful.
But it seemed that the Yigua had broken this common understanding.
The Water Monarch smiled and shook his head slightly: “I did not kill the person; I was just passing by.
When Empress Feng died, the Hexagram came to me on its own.”
So that’s how it was, everyone understood.
Su He expressed his gratitude.
The group talked and laughed; it was rare for so many Greater Powers to gather without discussing the Tao but merely gossiping…
and snatching delicious food!
Not a trace of the majesty of Greater Powers.
Unnoticed, the daylight had brightened, the sun was high in the sky.
Su He looked up at the great sun overhead, feeling as if the whole world was different with the change of the sun, without that sensation of being watched, and he could even speak the name, Yuan, freely as he wished.
Talking about crossing through time and space, he didn’t need pangolins to protect his body by invoking the Law or be enveloped by the Star Ring.
Utterly unabashed.
The first day of the New Year passed in high spirits.
All but Ya Ya, the little girl in the egg, envied the laughter and delicious scents from outside, wishing she could just shake her eggshell to pieces.
It was only briefly quiet when Green Snake reported the current affairs of the country to them.
The day passed in a flash, and Su He clasped Ji Feixue’s hand: “Wife, why didn’t your father and I return together?”
Ji Feixue chuckled: “He’s rubbing suns!”
Presumably stunned by Tai Zu’s actions of plucking and exchanging a sun, while others left, her father couldn’t bring himself to go, ignoring even his puppets; he just tirelessly tried to create his own great sun.
Not lingering on this topic, Ji Feixue snuggled up to Su He and leaned in with a smile: “Little Master, by letting you go with Su Sister today, you owe me.
Have you thought about how you will repay me when you return?”
The Little Master had only accompanied her once on New Year’s Day.
Su He was taken aback for a moment as the fragrant presence by his side swiftly departed.
Ji Feixue chuckled as she leapt onto Ya Ya’s Draconic Steed, waving her hand cheerfully toward Changfeng City.
Yue Ying led the horse.
“I’m taking this little girl!
She’s no longer your attendant.”
Su He was stunned for a moment.
Ji Feixue certainly didn’t lack for maidservants; countless people would break their heads to serve her.
A mighty Immortal Sovereign, one of the formidable among Immortal Sovereigns—Ji Feixue alone could sever an arm from the Second Ancestor of the Seal Emperor, ranking her among the strong through the history of Mystery Yellow.
Was Liu Ru’s status not apparent?
Once, before Ji Feixue revealed her Immortal Sovereign Combat Power, Liu Ru was treated as a top Elder from the Ten Major Immortal Doors by other Sects.
Now…
when Liu Ru leaves home, those receiving her are necessarily the Sect Leaders.
Her status is no less than the Yunmeng Dragon King!
Su He watched Ji Feixue enter Changfeng City, then bowed to the seniors present, taking Su Huanian along; with a thought, he transformed into a ray of light and vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Sword Mountain Origin Space’s cottage.
Awakening in front of the drum, Su He felt his hand on the drum pull along a Tianyi, and with an outward tug, Su Huanian emerged from the drum, landing in his embrace.
Hair whirling, strikingly beautiful.
For a moment, Su He was captivated.
