1194: Chapter 354 Time_3 1194: Chapter 354 Time_3 “Friend, do not jest.”
Su He smiled as he raised his hand to signal, and the Joyful Elephant’s Tricks in the Tian Nu Clan Symbols that were uncontrollably flying around gathered and fell into Su He’s hand.
Joyful Elephant was shocked, only to see Su He lightly tap on the Symbols, which then disassembled.
The core essence of the Symbols began to reveal itself, and an aura indistinguishable from Su He’s own began to disperse.
Su He smiled as he looked at Elder Tian Nu: “Friend, do you understand now?”
Joyful Elephant opened his mouth, and after a long while, he finally uttered: “Such crude Symbols.”
The Symbols that were personally Guarded by successive ancestors of the Tian Nu Clan were actually this crude.
They were merely a mark of identity!
They allowed the powers hidden within the Undamaged Realm to recognize the aura left by the Symbols, naturally permitting passage.
As for the reason why generations of ancestors had studied the Symbols for countless generations and yet failed to decipher them—it was simply because their Tao Cultivation was not deep enough!
The creator of these Symbols used a power that surpassed all others to condense the Symbols.
Without a power that exceeds the one who forged the Symbols, one cannot break them!
The Symbols were unexpectedly simple to the point of being unbelievable!
None of the people across generations had ever been bold enough to imagine that the Symbols, which had protected the Undamaged Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, would be so rudimentary.
However, the cruder the Symbols, the clearer it is that the aura within them is identical to Su He’s current one, without any difference.
It was as if he was indeed the one who left them.
Less than 60 years…
730,000 years, how could such a thing be accomplished?
A past life?
Where did Dragon Turtle have a past life?
Even if there were traces of a past life, how could it be the same as this life?
Crude?
Su He was covered in metaphorical black lines.
Was this discrimination?
For a novice in cultivation who does not understand the matters of condensing Symbols, is there a problem?
He took a deep breath to suppress the frustration in his heart, pretending not to hear Princess Snow’s teasing voice echoing in his mind.
Using the gentlest tone possible, he said to Joyful Elephant: “Friend, can you now take me into the forbidden land?”
Joyful Elephant was silent.
Only after a long time did he raise his head and smile bitterly at Su He: “Friend, do you think if this old man had a way to enter the forbidden land, during the chaos caused by Houdou, would I not have let the clansmen hide there?”
Su He fell silent.
He realized he made a mistake.
Everything was prepared, but he had forgotten this one point.
In this era, the Tian Nu Clan didn’t have anyone who returned to their ancestral form!
Without any clansmen returned to their ancestral form, without the Goddess, one cannot enter the forbidden land.
His breathing became heavy.
The sound of Princess Snow’s giggling reached him, then he heard Joyful Elephant speak: “However, our clan has an ancestral teaching that must be silently remembered by each Clan Leader when they assume the position, never to be forgotten throughout the generations.”
Su He turned to look at him, only to see Joyful Elephant’s eyes deep and steady: “The old place!”
The Tian Nu Clan has a pact with someone, which he probably knows about.
It’s just that the Elder left no definite message, so he could not know the specifics.
But such a message, other than the person involved, no one else could understand.
Since Friend Su He claims to have an arrangement with the Elder, one must grasp this implication.
After speaking, he watched Su He closely, not missing any of Su He’s reactions.
Hmm?
Su He was momentarily stunned but then seemed to realize something, and a smile emerged as he took the lead and walked forward.
“Friend, follow me.”
Joyful Elephant was puzzled but did not stop him, following Su He towards the interior, straight into the ancestral land next to the forbidden land.
This place was surrounded by Green Mountain, nothing else.
Su He’s smile grew wider, he raised his hand and pressed it against the void, and with a gentle push and a ding-dong sound, a small courtyard appeared on the ground, as if a child’s toy.
As big as a walnut.
Joyful Elephant was astonished.
He had been in this place for tens of thousands of years but never knew about this spot.
His gaze towards Su He became different, filled with countless questions, yet somewhat believing that Su He truly had an arrangement with the Elder from 730,000 years ago.
Su He looked at the small courtyard and smiled even more joyfully.
It was the very same small courtyard he and Princess Snow had lived in within the Undamaged Realm, a place filled with countless memories.
“Friend, shall we go inside for a look?” Su He said with a smile, unabashedly heading towards the small courtyard first.
With one step, he pushed the door and entered; without shrinking himself or enlarging the courtyard, he had already walked into the walnut-sized courtyard.
Old Ancestor Wangjun and Phoenix Ancestor, no matter what, were Existence of Stepping Sky Seven-fold, and in any given power, they were Greater Powers absolutely at the top.
The methods they possessed were unknown how many times greater than those of Su He.
But as for the trick of varying size at will, it naturally posed no difficulty.
Joyful Elephant followed him inside, looking around.
It was just an ordinary small courtyard, but it was uniquely exquisite and suitable for seclusion.
Following Su He forward, they walked into the inner courtyard and under a rockery, they saw a chessboard at which a man was sitting cross-legged.
He was half-transparent as if he had been sitting there for many, many years.
“Old Ancestor Wangjun!” Joyful Elephant exclaimed with astonishment.
Every generation of the Tian Nu Clan’s Elders progressed from the position of Clan Leader, and portraits of the Elders were passed down.
He recognized the man before him at a glance.
This was a Consciousness Body.
It was emitting an aura of decay, on the verge of breaking apart at any moment.
Wangjun was not Baiyin; the Consciousness Body couldn’t withstand the ravages of time.
Upon hearing the sound, the figure slowly raised its head, eyes devoid of spirit.
He wasn’t as lively as the Consciousness Body left by Baiyin; he was merely a mechanical remnant.
His gaze shifted past Joyful Elephant and fell on Su He and Ji Feixue: “Friend, you have arrived!”
He spoke, voice grating like grinding stones, eerily bizarre.
So much time had passed that even a normal voice could no longer be produced.
“I knew you would come!
Although I don’t know why I’ve forgotten Friend, forgotten so much.
But as the Undamaged Realm is concealed, this small courtyard remains, I know I must have lost an important Friend…
or two?
This small courtyard is clearly not occupied by just one person.”
He continued with a stumbling laugh.
“Thankfully, I have Emperor Ma Shi as a friend.
Although he couldn’t treat our misfortune, he also pointed out the crucial clue to me.
I don’t know who Friend is, I don’t know where you went, but I know for sure that Friend will return.”
