1162: Chapter 346 Gu Talisman 1162: Chapter 346 Gu Talisman The Netherworld King looked at him with an icy expression.
Su He suddenly had an epiphany.
Over the past years with Ji Feixue, Ji Feixue had always been this way, never showing her emotions outwardly, and to understand her heart required guesswork.
Su He subtly took the Taozu Finger Bone and the two turtle shells, curling his toes against the ground, and whispered, “That…although an elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister like a mother, I already have a wife, do I still need to be punished for lying?”
Who hasn’t lied to their parents and siblings before?
The Netherworld King’s gaze clearly faltered at his words, then a surge of anger rose in his eyes.
A deadly aura soared.
How dare you make excuses!
She huffed coldly, and the avatar of Su He in front of her couldn’t withstand it and burst with a pop.
In the Zhenyou Palace underground, the true body of Su He looked up.
A cold voice came through: “For being dishonest, you are punished with solitary confinement for thirty days, and your right to pray to heaven and earth is revoked.”
The Netherworld King’s gaze pierced through the underground palace onto Su He: “As husband and wife are one body, I will transfer this opportunity to your wife.
The blessings from heaven and earth through the prayer will have nothing to do with you!”
The Netherworld King imposed the punishment, her gaze vanished, and she no longer contacted Su He.
Though the Netherworld King showed anger and imposed a penalty, Su He instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite minimal interactions, someone like the Netherworld King, who could stand unfazed before the upheavals of heaven and earth and could even dismember and revive herself, what could possibly stir her heart?
Even being deceived by Su He, she remained calm until Su He mentioned “like a mother…
punishment…”
Only then did she show anger, just as Su He thought, who doesn’t lie to their parents?
Only towards family members would the Netherworld King show emotion.
And—somehow, it felt like the older sister was helping me!
This wasn’t Su He’s era, though his standing was secured, making a name for himself in this era might seem insignificant, but directly praying to heaven and earth and invoking the celestial forces was somewhat foolhardy.
Dancing repeatedly in front of the Palace of Yama accomplishes nothing.
The senior sister has taken his privileges and given them to Ji Feixue, seemingly protecting him instead.
As for the heavenly reward from praying—Su He had received them before, they were just some merits, was he going to be stingy in front of his own wife?
If it were given to someone else, Su He might be upset, but giving it to Ji Feixue didn’t bother him at all; even if the merits truly went to him, he would find a way to transfer them to Ji Feixue.
With the Taozu Finger Bone in hand, it was almost time for him to leave.
With Ji Feixue’s temperament in this era, how could Su He leave without ensuring enough protection for her?
While resisting the Hell Suppression and desperately forging his Inner World, Su He took out the Taozu Finger Bone and the two turtle shells and examined them closely.
It was unknown whether the turtle shell was left by some elder ancestor, crafted through generations, or formed by merging countless Dragon Turtle Shells.
Su He couldn’t unleash the true power of the turtle shells, having never seen such techniques.
But being a treasured artifact of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, its might was self-evident.
Even though such turtle shells could be replicated, only the hexagrams and Taozu avatars could not be duplicated by dice.
Su He’s gaze shifted from the turtle shells to the finger bone.
The finger bone, plain and unremarkable, lost all sense of being the origin of all things once its quality was enhanced.
It truly looked like a normal finger bone!
If it weren’t immensely heavy, one might even think it was a mere mortal finger bone.
Before enhancing, it was the little finger bone of Taozu’s third avatar; whether enhancing its quality and returning to simplicity could retain any of Taozu’s own might remained unknown.
Did Thai Zu want the enhanced finger bone?
Did the Old Turtle know for certain the Taozu Finger Bone would have its quality enhanced?
Or can it be used whether enhanced or duplicated?
Su He wondered.
Beneath Fenbao Rock, the Netherworld King’s slender jade finger tapped the air, where golden dice fragments spun around her fingertips.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes shining with brilliance, trying to discern the object between her fingers, but she couldn’t see it at all.
But she knew, there must be something there.
Previously when her younger apprentice brother stole the treasure, two forces of unknown origin descended, one repeatedly shattered and finally enhanced the power of the Master’s finger bone, the other actually duplicated the turtle shells.
She used all her might to intercept a small portion of the shattered force, but no matter what, she couldn’t identify what it was.
Although she was only a manifestation of Divine God Thought, using the Divine Artifact forged by her true body in the real world, she lacked neither power nor means.
If she couldn’t see, then even if her true body could revive, she wouldn’t be able to see either.
This power seemed somewhat similar to that of the Taoist Master, resembling the source of all things, capable of creating matter out of nothing.
No wonder the threads of causality twined around her younger apprentice brother, with a part of The Great Tao origin within him, naturally attracting all things, whether friend or foe.
Such a person, wherever he went, would lead to frequent incidents.
Like a star of disaster, he would trigger numerous changes.
Events that originally had nothing to do with him, or even shouldn’t have happened during a certain period, would erratically erupt because of his arrival.
Unless he could wield power like the Taoist Master, suppressing everything, he could only enjoy momentary peace.
The Netherworld King waved her hand to disperse the invisible force between her fingers, her form transforming into a Nether River and disappearing.
In the Star Sea, the Tao Master who was playing a guessing game with Thai Zu suddenly grinned wryly, then turned and said to Thai Zu, “Old Ancestor, Zhenyou Mountain’s Second Ancestor has awakened, would you like to meet her?”
Thai Zu nonchalantly waved his paw: “I don’t recognize her, why should I see her?”
The Taoist Ancestor shook his head and smiled wryly: “The Second Ancestor communicated that she has revoked the privilege of Su He to pray to heaven and earth and has let Fairy Ji do it.
I was asked to inform Guiwang Mountain.”
As he spoke, he looked again towards Thai Zu.
