Qing opened his eyes, confirmed the direction, and swam through the water towards Quiet Water Mountain.
Qingyuan Mountain was very suitable for aquatic beasts.
There was a large river flowing through it, which was blocked by the mountain, branching out into countless streams, interconnecting like a network.
Mountains connected with water and water connected with mountains, and the water area extended to every part of the Qingyuan Territory.
Basically, there was a river under every peak.
Where rivers met, there were lakes.
Quiet Water Mountain was very far away, but fortunately, Su He’s speed had increased exponentially, especially after he was able to use spiritual power.
At this moment, beneath Su He, there was a ribbon-like stream of water carrying him as he broke through the waves.
Su He was swimming in this stream as well.
It was like walking on a conveyor belt.
While his speed soared, it also felt easier.
Su He multitasked with one heart and three uses: paddling, controlling the water ribbon, and pondering over the seventy-two silver needles Su Huanian had given him.
The silver needles were just ordinary magic artifacts, valued for their extreme hardness and ease of control.
He only needed to control one, and the rest would follow and dance like a swarm of bees.
Su He’s claws couldn’t hold a sewing needle, but his Water Control Divine God Power could.
After consuming three Spirit Awakening Pills, his mental strength surged, allowing him to control the water flow with even greater finesse.
Especially, the water stream condensed by the Water Control Divine God Power seemed like a part of his body, moving as naturally as his limbs, and he could even channel spiritual power into the water stream, greatly increasing its might.
Once silver needles were embedded within, they could kill without a trace.
About an hour later, Quiet Water Mountain loomed faintly in sight.
Outside Quiet Water Mountain, Lu Ming sat cross-legged by the riverside, with a lone cup and jar of wine by his side, cradling an ancient zither.
At the end of a tune, he spoke loudly, “Divine God Turtle, since you’ve come, why not show yourself?”
Su He hadn’t arrived yet.
No turtle appeared, but Lu Ming didn’t feel disappointed.
He drank a cup of wine and played another tune.
Once finished, he smiled faintly and said, “With such an esteemed guest at my door, how can you not show yourself?
Could it be that my zither playing is too crude and doesn’t please your noble ears?”
Su He was still swimming on his way.
The bright moon shone brilliantly, the night sky was like jade, and Quiet Water Mountain was tranquil.
The only response to Lu Ming’s questions were the autumn insects.
Lu Ming shouted into the air for a long while, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.
Since being thrown into Quiet Water Mountain in the afternoon after his Tao Cultivation was destroyed, he knew the Divine God Turtle would definitely come for revenge.
Without Tao Cultivation, he had no confidence in comparing physical strength with the Divine God Turtle.
After a brief recovery, he held the wine pot and ancient zither, playing here for most of the day.
At the end of each piece, he would make a deep and unfathomable comment, trying to suppress Su He out of thin air.
If he could not win in a fight, then he would use his silver tongue to make the Divine God Turtle let go of its grudge and even willingly serve him!
The Divine God Turtle had not yet arrived, but the night was still long.
Lu Ming played the zither again, the sound as refreshing as water, touching people’s hearts.
At the end of the piece, he sipped a fine wine about to speak, but suddenly, the river water surged, and a thick water pillar smashed towards his chest.
He’s here! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Lu Ming was overjoyed, but then slightly disappointed, “Tsk!
You could have come at any time, but a moment later, just two breaths after I finish my speech, I could have suppressed this turtle, taking control into my hands.”
What a pity.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as he’s here.
He swung the ancient zither, circling it around to encounter the oncoming water pillar, and burst into hearty laughter, “Turtle Daoist Friend, we should consider our skirmish as an introduction.
Why cling to a grudge?
So eager?
Frankly, I can’t run away, so why not sit down for a drink?
Let us talk freely, and when the round moon rises high, let’s decide the outcome under it.
Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Without a word, Su He opened his mouth and sent a sphere of water the size of a fight hurling towards him, which Lu Ming shattered with a swing of his zither.
Showing off!
If you were a refined person, could you deal with playing the zither so recklessly?
When things don’t add up, there must be a demon at play.
This grandson is pretending to be noble; he must have some other scheme.
It’s best not to pay him any heed or listen to him; just kill him and be done with it.
Su He sent another water pillar rushing over, which Lu Ming flicked away with his zither.
Lu Ming laughed heartily, “Turtle Daoist Friend, although my Tao Cultivation is gone, the flesh body that I’ve hammered for forty years is still here.
You can’t hurt me, friend, so why waste your effort?
Why not sit down for a candid talk?”
Another water sphere came at him, which he smashed with a punch.
A beast is still a beast; equal strength is the only bargaining chip in negotiations.
Without showing some power, this turtle will never stop.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Ming’s eyes.
Seeing another water pillar coming from the opposite direction, Lu Ming threw the ancient zither aside, puffed out his chest, and collided with the water pillar.
The pillar as thick as a barrel exploded like a flower against a boulder upon hitting his chest, unable to harm him.
Beasts are simple, afraid of tools.
Only bare hands can truly tame them.Lu Ming burst out into loud laughter.
Seeing that Su He still wouldn’t let go, another jet of water came rushing towards him.
Without hesitation, he tore open his clothes, bared his chest, and let the water column slam into him.
A turtle is a turtle, careful even in seeking revenge.
If you fought me in close combat, using body defense and strength, I might hold back a little.
But a water column is no different from taking a bath!
Just let yourself be tamed by me!
Lu Ming’s spirits soared as he faced the water column with his bare chest, and seventy-two silver needles pierced through his body.
A sharp pain hit his chest and back, and Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood with a change in his facial color.
Magic Artifact!
Silver needles?
Despicable!
He deliberately used a few ordinary water columns to numb me, and then the silver needles attacked.
This turtle really wants to kill me!
His face instantly showed fear and shock.
“No!
You can’t kill me, if you do, you’ll never truly transform into a Divine God Beast!” Lu Ming screamed.
He turned his head and ran towards Quiet Water Mountain’s Protective Formation.
The clear water from the water balls and columns he had shattered scattered on the ground suddenly rolled violently, wrapping him up in an instant, forming a water ball around him, and it spun as it rose into the air.
Then it fiercely smashed down.
Lu Ming spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, looking at Su He in horror.
“Don’t kill me, I have a special inheritance that can help you purify your bloodline!”
He tried with all his might to say between gasps of breath in rapid succession:
“Your Divine God Beast bloodline was activated by the Demonic Fruit, right?”
“The Demonic Fruit condensed the Dragon Turtle Dao Body inside your Mind Orifice, right?”
“I tell you, that Dao Body is incomplete!”
Su He’s water ball hesitated slightly around him.
Lu Ming gasped: “Qingyuan Gate has never had a Divine God Beast, they don’t understand!
Only I know, an incomplete Dao Body can’t condense pure Divine God Beast True Blood, then you will never be able to transform into a real Dragon Turtle!
Only a Divine God Beast Tao Body condensed by a Green Demonic Fruit can make you truly transform into a Divine God Beast—at least it should be somewhat greenish!”
He looked at Su He, “This time, Qingyuan Gate’s eighteen Demonic Fruits are all colorless.
Believe me, my inheritance has a way to help you make up for the innate deficiency!”
He panted heavily, watching Su He, with beads of blood forming on his body.
It stopped, I knew those words would get through to this turtle!
Lu Ming tried to speak in a gentle voice, “Just help me escape Qingyuan Territory and retrieve the inheritance.
I promise to complete the missing part for your Heart Orifice Dao Body…”
Su He let out a proud cry.
“Red?
There are no Red Demon Transformation Fruits, those are the stuff of legends—but,” his eyes flashed with a hint of resoluteness, “if you can help me obtain all the inheritances, I might be able to help you elevate to the point of being somewhat red…”
The inheritance that Lu Ming would receive was special; the greater his potential, the higher the level of the inheritance he would get.
He whispered, “As long as you are willing to become my Life Bound…”
Whoosh!
The water flow suddenly churned, enveloping him.
Lu Ming’s fear surged, and he screamed, “Don’t…
glub glub…
don’t want a Life Bound Beast…
glub glub…
let me go…”
Boom!
The water ball reversed direction, smashing down headfirst into the ground, and with a crisp crack, Lu Ming’s struggle abruptly ended as his neck broke at a bizarre angle.
This man must have lost his mind, right?!
I’m killing you, and you’re asking me to help you get the inheritance?
Do I care about your inheritance?
Is there any inheritance that can compare with dice?
Previously too weak, I couldn’t rob at will.
Now it’s different; when I find some time, I’ll properly study the rules of dice.
After two and a half years since crossing over, this was the first time Su He killed someone, yet he didn’t feel the slightest discomfort.
Two and a half years went by, struggling to survive every day.
During the day fearing eagles, at night fearing snakes.
Crawling through mud to eat rotten flesh, competing with toads for food, fighting with rats.
After the bloody two and a half years, Su He grew more reverent towards life, but also became more indifferent to death as something common.
There’s no difference between a man and a toad.
They all struggle to live, each in their own way.
They all desperately try to die, each in their own way.
