Don't Mess with that Turtle-Chapter 70 - 069 Chou Nu’er_1
70: Chapter 069: Chou Nu’er_1
70 -069: Chou Nu’er_1
Being able to reveal the true mermaid form of the Tian Shui Clan people is a unique ability of the Dragon Turtle.
That little Dragon Turtle has the bloodline of a purebred Dragon Turtle.
Qiao Changlun’s eyes flashed with brilliance, too.
After two months of contact, he had a faint sense that Su He’s bloodline was different, and there was probably a thirty percent chance of it actually transforming into a Dragon Turtle.
Now it seems that percentage is far more than thirty!
Someone looked at Elder Ge with piercing eyes, “How much True Blood has your precious disciple condensed?”
Elder Ge’s face was covered with a smile, “The last time I asked, it was fifty percent.”
Fifty percent, that’s just the True Blood Realm, and there’s still a great chance of condensing even more True Blood.
This turtle is probably going to take off.
No wonder there were rumors recently about the Dragon Turtle possessing the Gifted Thunder Sound.
Could it be that Su Huanian and Elder Ge knew long ago that its bloodline was pure?
“Give it to him!” An old woman suddenly raised her head.
“The position of Qingyuan Gate is humble; attracting a Dragon Turtle would be a massive stroke of fortune.
Unless it never leaves Qingyuan Gate, we can’t protect it for too long.
Praying to the heavens and earth, divine blessings descend.
With divine blessings for protection, the Dragon Turtle’s path should be much safer.”
Having a divine beast and having a true Divine God Beast in the sect are two entirely different concepts.
Qiao Changlun smiled, “Let’s not forget, the concept of the panel was originally the Dragon Turtle’s idea, and it was proposed by it.
Only it has the right to pray to the heavens and earth.
Divine beasts have endless lifespans, if we didn’t intervene, in a thousand years the Dragon Turtle itself could create the panel.
At that time, when it performs the ritual of praying to the heavens, the merits and rewards would all belong to it alone…
to one turtle!”
When calculated, praying to the heavens now means all participants would get some rewards; this is essentially cutting in, taking advantage of the Dragon Turtle.
The crowd exchanged glances.
That is indeed the case!
Finally, someone shook their head with a slightly embarrassed expression, “Then let’s organize it, create a Jade Slip, and choose a day for the Dragon Turtle to pray to the heavens and earth!”
They were not reluctant to give the Dragon Turtle the opportunity to conduct the ritual—this opportunity originally belonged to the Dragon Turtle, and no one could take it away.
Since the Dragon Turtle was the first to propose the panel concept, the Great Tao mysteriously resonated with it.
Prayers from anyone else would be futile.
It’s just that the product of strenuous effort over two months would always be inferior to the Dragon Turtle’s Divine Power, which caused some psychological discomfort for a moment.
Human nature!
Having made the decision, they hesitated no more.
Someone immediately took out a Jade Slip and recorded the principles and cultivation techniques of the panel.
“Old fellow, have you thought about when to hold the ceremony of praying to the heavens and earth?” a granny poked Elder Ge, her tone sour.
Old fellow, your luck in the Dao is incredible!
To think you’ve taken such a disciple—aren’t you afraid of shortening your lifespan, can just anyone take a Dragon Turtle as a disciple?
Elder Ge is still lively and kicking, proving that the little Dragon Turtle truly acknowledges him as its master.
Otherwise, you’d leave the house only to be struck by lightning, or choke on water.
This old lady is Elder An from Huayang Peak, and the Elder An from Beast Valley is her own nephew.
Elder Ge laughed, “It will be on the day of taking disciples!” If the disciple’s identity as a Dragon Turtle is bound to be revealed, at the moment it transforms into a divine beast, there surely will be a heavenly sign.
So while there’s a crowd, let the disciple receive heavenly divine blessings and let everyone know that the Dragon Turtle is protected by divine merits; anyone wanting to target it should weigh their options.
I just don’t know how many divine merits such an auxiliary cultivation technique could get.
Below Tinghai Lake, five mermaids surrounded Su He, scouting the path, driving away the grass, and expelling swimming fish and crabs, clearing the way for Su He.
Su He was extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
The old lady followed beside Su He, introducing him, “King, this humble servant Long Min, has the honor of being the sacrificer for the Tian Shui Clan of the Mystery Huang World.
Our clan numbers one hundred and eighty-two in the Mystery Huang World, with one in the Demonic Realm, three at the Seven Steps to the Gathering Yuan Realm, and twelve at the Spirit Awakening Realm.
Our clan receives the divine God’s blessing…”
As she spoke, she quietly glanced at Su He.
The divine God naturally refers to the Dragon Turtle ancestor; the person in front of her must be the Divine God’s Son!
“…Our clan receives the divine God’s blessing, and clan members reach the Three Steps to the True Blood Realm upon maturity.”
The Tian Shui Clan is uniquely blessed; all are born with the ability to cultivate, and reach the True Blood Realm upon maturity.
However, they struggle with reproduction and advancement is exceedingly difficult.
Most Tian Shui people are trapped for life at the fifth step of Transcendence, the Offering Bone Realm.
Only those with exceptional talents have the chance to reach higher realms.
Sure, here’s the translation:
But now, things were looking up.
A King had appeared.
The Dragon Turtle naturally possessed Divine God Might, and the Tian Shui Clan were born to be subordinates of the Dragon Turtle, thriving under its Divine Might, which greatly accelerated their advancement.
“Our clan resides in Yunmeng Ze to the west of East Cloud Mountain, holding a territory of three hundred li of water.
If the King requires it, my clan can relocate here.
It will only take a decade, following the flow of Elephant Water.”
Compared to the Dragon Turtle, what’s the loss of a mere three hundred li of water territory?
However, the relationship between their clan and the Dragon Turtle, seen by those with ulterior motives, was likely to bring unwarranted disasters upon the King.
It would be best to endure, at least until the King came of age.
A turtle and five people…
fish…
mermaids…
traveling at incredible speeds, they returned to Su He’s lair in just a moment.
This place in the center of Tinghai Lake had the most concentrated Yuan Spirit Water, lush aquatic vegetation, and plenty of fish.
The mermaid Long Min swam upwards and surveyed the surrounding Formation, shaking her head slightly, “This is the work of a Formation expert, but the person does not fully understand the King’s unique traits.
The King is indeed a Water Spirit, true, but with the Innate Divine Ability of Bearing Mountain, the King needs to absorb a variety of Spiritual Powers to progress and remain free of weaknesses.”
“King, shall we modify this Formation for you?”
The mermaids had just sworn allegiance, yet they were already giving their utmost effort and devotion.
Su He felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
Su He didn’t understand formations, but he was aware of his own sensations, and Bearing Mountain indeed needed to draw in various attributes of treasures and Spiritual Powers.
He nodded his head, and Long Min immediately directed the three male mermaids, “Follow me to modify the Formation.” She then turned to the young girl.
“King, this is Chou Nu’er, quick-witted and industrious.
It would be good to let her attend to the King, wouldn’t it?”
The Tian Shui Clan had Sacrifices and a chieftain, and Chou Nu’er was the daughter of the current chieftain, chosen by Long Min as her successor as a Sacrifice.
The Sacrifice was dedicated to worshiping the Dragon Turtle.
Chou Nu’er pinched the pink webbing between her fingers, her tail flicking back and forth, betraying the nervousness and excitement in her heart.
Chou Nu’er was not ugly; in fact, she was very beautiful!
Her lower body was that of a mermaid, a red of koi fish, with luminous scales on both sides of her slender waist, yet it didn’t appear strange.
Instead, it was beautiful.
A slim waist, pert behind, and sharp fingers, her facial features were also exceptionally good.
Two shells covered her chest, revealing just enough to spark the imagination.
Great! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Su He hummed softly.
He didn’t mind; although he didn’t need attendance, raising a beautiful Little Mermaid by his side, could certainly improve his mood.
Chou Nu’er’s eyes sparkled with surprise and joy as she bowed to Su He.
Long Min was even happier than her, dancing with sheer joy for a while before chuckling and leading others off to modify the Formation.
Su He sank back to the bottom of the water and slowly closed his eyes as the Turtle Longevity Secret began to circulate, along with the Art of Dreaming pushed to its limit.
Elder Ge said the Tian Shui Clan could be trusted.
Su He trusted Elder Ge’s judgment, but for Elder Ge, this was loyalty of several hundred years to a subordinate.
For Su He, though, they were all strangers.
Even before today, Su He was unaware of their existence except for hearing about mermaid legends during lessons at Li Nan Yuan.
During his nearly a year in Qingyuan Gate, the most important lesson Su He learned was: to trust friends, but to always remain cautious!
He did not want to fall into the kind of schemes like Lu Ming had laid, then have to rely purely on luck to fight others’ machinations.
The path of Dao is long, and schemes and calculations are inevitable.
More than anything, Su He hoped that when the next scheme came his way, he might not see it at a first glance, but after two or three looks, he should eventually notice.
He would be able to emerge unscathed from conspiracies, or even turn them on their heads.
The Master said the Tian Shui Clan could be trusted, and Su He would indeed welcome them with kindness.
But to gain Su He’s complete trust would take time, for Su He needed to see and observe them with his own eyes.
