Don't Mess with that Turtle-Chapter 38 - 037 Legacy_1

38: Chapter 037 Legacy_1

38 -037 Legacy_1

The Python Snake was momentarily intimidated by the Dragon Turtle’s powerful aura and hesitantly recoiled a little.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su He crawled forward.

The third trial should be similar to the second one; passing through the door ahead would mean he had passed the trial.

It seemed that all three trials had doors as boundaries.

In the first trial, he was chased by black-clothed men and had to rush through the big door to pass; in the second trial, there was gravity and puppets, and he had to dash through the second door to pass; the third should be the same.

Su He roared and charged towards the third door.

The Giant Python, repelled by the Dragon Turtle’s roar, now exhibited a human-like flash of anger in its eyes as if its nielin had been touched.

Its tail slapped the ground, it let out a hiss, and lightning flickered erratically on its wings.

The aura was now even more dominant.

Su He was forced to halt his forward steps.

He abruptly looked up at the Python Snake, a flash of anger passing through his eyes.

Can’t take it, huh?

The trial is suddenly getting harder in the middle?

That lightning and sudden surge in power is clearly cheating!

Within the special space, the sloppy Taoist nodded in satisfaction.

The Little Turtle had suddenly done something to dramatically increase its Divine Sense, probably having taken some Pill Medicine.

Then the Taoist had no qualms about releasing a few more tendrils of Telekinesis.

At the entrance of the inner courtyard, the expressions of the three black-clothed men changed simultaneously, as they too sensed a daunting pressure—cold, sinister, as if they were being targeted by a venomous snake.

Even as mere spectators, they felt this pressure; what kind of pressure must the Turtle be enduring to break the formation?

Yet it still managed to hold firm and not fall back; truly extraordinary.

Then they saw the Turtle roaring, struggling to step forward, but unable to advance an inch.

Clearly, it had reached its limit.

The leader of the black-clothed men narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the second-in-command.

The second-in-command’s breathing hastened.

He understood what the leader meant: Give him another Spirit Awakening Pill!

You’re really crazy!

He jabbed his chest where the Cicada cage was and sent a report to Lu Ming, only to hear a cold voice from the Cicada cage: “Give it to him!

Give him the last two pills!

Let him pass in one go!

You block the escape route, and don’t allow the Divine God Turtle to retreat even half a step!”

Gasping for breath, the second-in-command’s eyes were filled with madness.

Revenge on a Turtle, is it worth spending so much?

Give me the Spirit Awakening Pill, and I’ll kill it and betray my sect to become an outlaw for the rest of my life!

His hand holding the Spirit Awakening Pill trembled slightly.

As if guessing his thoughts, the colder voice of Lu Ming from the Cicada cage said, “Give it to him!”

Like a bucket of cold water poured over him, the second-in-command suddenly came to his senses.

Crazy!

They all are!

He grabbed the remaining two Spirit Awakening Pills and flung them into Su He’s mouth.

Give them to him!

All of them!

We three brothers are at your service, breaking the rules of our sect for you, yet even we didn’t know you had Spirit Awakening Pills.

And you feed a turtle three Spirit Awakening Pills in one night!

Give them to him!!!

Once the Pill Medicine was consumed, the Dragon Turtle on Su He’s back let out a roar, and water surged from beneath his feet, swiftly forming a river.

The waves churned wildly, and thunder crackled overhead.

The Dragon Turtle grew in water, and in the blink of an eye, it was thirty feet long.

With one swipe of its claw, it knocked the Giant Python down, stepping on it, and tore off its wings with its mouth.

Then it tore the Giant Python to pieces, bite by bite.

Inside the special space, the sloppy Taoist winced as pain shot through his brow, and he stared in disbelief.

The tendrils of Divine Sense he had released had been shattered.

With the Dragon Turtle’s outburst, the pressure from the Divine Sense that had formed the Giant Python was crushed, but it did not dissipate back into Su He.

Instead, it roared towards the sky.

One roar followed by another.

Having been fed three Spirit Awakening Pills continuously, Su He only felt his mind thunder, as if struck by lightning.

Crack!

With a loud noise, the scenery before his eyes changed dramatically.

It was no longer the small courtyard of trials, but an endless sea, its waves surging to the sky.

Within the boundless sea, mountains rose up high.

No, not mountains!

These were claws!

A Dragon Turtle, so vast that the eye couldn’t see its limits, lay with its back to the sky and feet in the four seas, sprawled across the ocean.

What appeared to Su He as a mountainous claw was just one of its digits.

This is…

a heritage!

Having experienced the Green Snake’s heritage, Su He immediately realized this was a Heritage Space, and the Dragon Turtle belonged to his heritage!

Previously in the Green Snake space, he had been awed by the White Snake’s mighty power and its ability to Wind and Wave Creation, but this Turtle compared to that Snake, was on a whole different level!

This was the heritage of the Divine God Turtle!

He didn’t know what pill medicine the black-clothed men had fed him, elevating his momentum and strengthening his Divine Sense, which had unexpectedly sent him crashing into the Heritage Space.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have a heritage; he just previously didn’t have the power to enter!

Su He excitedly screamed and shouted.

He could call himself a Giant Turtle now, but in front of this Dragon Turtle, he was less than a flea.

“Roar!”

Su He looked up and roared.

The Dragon Turtle above seemed to have heard him, slightly lowering its head.

In an instant, the wind and clouds transformed.

The Dragon Turtle was too large; just the act of lowering its head caused the heavenly constellations to drastically change.

As it lowered its head to look, its pair of turtle eyes became the entire starry sky, where stars were born and others perished, the illusion of the starry sky continuously evolving.

Boom!

Su He’s mind thundered.

This was not a scene he was meant to see.

With his current Boundary Status, he could not withstand even a glance from the Dragon Turtle.

The scene before his eyes shattered, and Su He suddenly awakened, still in the small courtyard of the trial, the Giant Python before him had disappeared, and all was calm as usual.

Behind him, three black-clothed men stood, one as usual, while the other two seemed to have lost their spirits, with no vigor or energy left in their eyes.

The Spirit Awakening Pill, it had disappeared…

“Thank you,” Su He nodded to them, expressing his gratitude with a sound.

Even if this trial were a failure, it had been worth it!

The Dragon Turtle had not bestowed any inheritance upon Su He.

He was incapable of receiving the Dragon Turtle’s inheritance at the moment, but he now knew where his path lay!

That faint glance was like a hint placed on Su He’s forehead.

The Dragon Turtle…

in fact, was not a Dragon Turtle, its true name was simply Turtle!

Without any other prefix.

Just like a Dragon is simply a Dragon, Azure Dragon, White Dragon, Yellow Dragon are only prefixes.

A Turtle is just a Turtle, with a pure bloodline, the supreme and unparalleled Turtle!

It was no Dragon Head either; it only resembled a dragon’s head.

There are countless natural forms in the world; Dragons, Phoenixes, and Kylins are all natural forms, not as universally applicable as a human form.

Humans have the Innate Taoist Body, an interpretation of the Tao.

The shape of a dragon head and dragon tail is similar, and Kylins with their likeness to dragon heads are not much different.

If one insists on naming, Dragon Turtle, Divine God Turtle, Mystery Turtle would be acceptable; it does not mind.

Hmm, Su He felt it was boasting, perhaps it was just a beast that grew a nielin and refused to acknowledge its dragon parentage.

And what exactly was that Heritage Space just now?

Su He still hadn’t figured it out.

Was there really such a Turtle that drew him in with his intention?

Or was it merely a part of the heritage encoded in his bloodline, which would activate when certain conditions were met?

Su He hadn’t met the conditions for the inheritance yet.

Beastly cultivators with Divine God Beast Blood also encounter three distinct phases, or rather, must undergo three steps.

The first step: Purify the bloodline, truly transforming oneself into a Divine God Beast.

Just like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate, only after leaping through it, do you become a dragon and earn the dragon’s heritage.

Before leaping, it is merely a fish and cannot receive the dragon’s heritage.

It’s essentially like saying—You’re not my offspring, why should I grant you my heritage?

Therefore, the first step is to turn into the child of a Divine God Beast, even if it’s through adoption!

Only by truly becoming a Dragon Turtle can one receive the heritage of the Dragon Turtle.

This first step has no name, or perhaps it’s similar to the first Boundary Status of human cultivators, called Transcendence?

Shedding the mortal shell to achieve the Divine God Turtle.

After Transcendence, completely transforming into the Divine God Turtle, without a trace of mixed blood, then one becomes a juvenile Dragon Turtle, qualified to receive the inheritance of the Dragon Turtle.

That is a topic for later; before that, how to “Transcend” is what Su He should consider most.

His repeated plunges into slumber and evolution were already a Transcendence process.

But it wasn’t enough!

His transformation was complete now, his color had changed, the Turtle Shell had darkened, Dragon Scales had emerged, teeth and vocal cords had appeared.

The next step should be to evolve the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail.

Simply consuming high-quality food was no longer sufficient.

Waking up from his recent slumber, he had eaten a lot of good things, even consuming two meals of Pill Medicine-enriched food, yet there were no signs of evolution.

Su He surmised that his evolution might indeed be very similar to a cultivator’s Transcendence Realm.

Ge Feng said the realms of cultivators were modeled after Divine God Beasts, and there were commonalities, which was naturally expected.

The Seven Steps to Transcendence: Mind Orifice, Divine God Objects, then True Blood, Intention Orifice, and Offering Bones.

Right now, Su He was roughly equivalent to the Cultivator’s realm of Divine God Objects, which is to condense a Divine God Object in the Mind Orifice.

His Divine God Object was the Little Dragon Turtle.

Next would be to utilize the Divine God Object to consolidate True Blood.

Ensuring that every drop of blood within the body carries the Tao Rhythm of True Blood.

If he were a cultivator, this is where the differences in attributes would become apparent.

The True Blood condensed by someone with a fire-aligned Divine God Object in the Mind Orifice would be completely different from that of someone with a water-aligned Divine God Object.

And consolidating True Blood is not simply about having the Divine God Object stand in the Mind Orifice; one needs a Cultivation Technique for it!

Su He had no Cultivation Technique, but it was available here.

Su He opened his eyes; the Giant Python had vanished, with nothing obstructing the entrance to the passageway anymore.

Su He crawled step by step toward the gate.
