1107: Chapter 326: I_3 1107: Chapter 326: I_3 The sea water was freezing, spreading rapidly across the seabed as if it were ice pillars.
Su He looked up, indeed, there was something above.
“Come down!”
Su He scooped up the sea water and pulled downward, and from the ice cliffs and the water, Water Kirins tumbled down like dumplings being dropped into soup, and before they completely hit the water, a Snowy Night unfolded, instantly freezing several of them.
“Shatter!”
Su He shouted, and the frozen Kirins instantly shattered into dust, dispersing into the sea and completely vanishing.
An invisible aura flew out from the bodies of the Kirins, gathering above into what seemed to be an eye pattern upon closer examination.
Su He had never seen this object before, he just used his Divine Skills like rain, roaring as he killed these dozens of Water Kirins again.
After a long time, the shattered ice slowly melted into the water, all forty-nine Kirins were slain, not a single one was missed.
Su He looked around at the empty seabed, slightly panting, calming the sea water and himself, then continued inward.
This Water Kirin should only be a defense, once broken through it would not gather again, unless going out and coming back in, then this place would be refreshed.
Without the ice pillars, the path became unobstructed, and Su He walked further and further inward.
Father-in-law’s casually written words had extinguished the dark consciousness within Ji Feixue.
Perhaps inside there were treasures left by the old man, or even a Consciousness Body.
Things left by the father-in-law in his completely normal state were completely different from what the mad sculptor could do now.
It might not be necessary to go find Emperor Ma Shi to solve Ji Feixue’s problem.
Su He continued forward without any barriers, no Water Kirins nor anything else, but the further he went, a feeling of repression grew, as if something was watching him.
Su He slightly lowered his head, “Senior, I, He from the Dragon Turtle Clan, am here seeking a cure for my wife.”
His voice, sonorous like a tolling bell, echoed through the water, but for a long time, there was no response.
The Toad nudged his Turtle Shell, “Asleep, perhaps?”
The entrance clearly stated, letting entities within the ice cliffs rest peacefully…
Su He licked his lips and moved forward again, saying at the same time, “Before the junior arrived, perhaps the contemporary Emperor Ma Shi had entered this place, if senior could give the junior some guidance, the junior will leave immediately.”
There was no response.
The Toad nudged Su He again, “Are you foolish, the host here clearly wants to keep you here, otherwise why would the gate not let you out?”
Su He was silent for a moment, and then spoke no more as he continued forward, but just as he stepped forward, a voice came from all directions.
“I, have seen no others!”
The voice was calm and steady, yet carried an endless weariness, as if forcibly awakened from a deep sleep.
Su He was startled and looked around, but saw no one.
“May I know where the senior is?” Su He’s voice was respectful, “The junior has rashly intruded into the senior’s dwelling.”
Su He bowed deeply, very politely.
The voice was silent for a long time, then said, “No harm, I should thank you.
If you hadn’t brought the Old Dragon Bead, I wouldn’t have awakened.”
As the voice spoke, the ice and snow on the cliff in front slowly melted away, revealing a cave nestled in the ice cliff, and an orb resembling a bright moon, coming from nowhere, floated into the cave.
The voice came again, “Young one, come in.”
Su He was silent for a moment, then smiled and swam forward, heading straight into the cave.
The cave was spacious, just a simple underwater cave.
An eye orb landed on a pair of Qilin horns, the orb and the Qilin horns softened and writhed, transforming into a gel-like substance, with the horns forming the body and the orb forming the spirit, they writhed and reshaped into a Qilin.
The Qilin was very small, yet it possessed an overwhelming presence.
Su He had only glanced at the Kylin, when he suddenly froze.
He recognized this Kylin!
When Ji Feixue first entered the Phoenix Tomb Ghost, they breached a great tomb which housed a passage of the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace.
The history recorded in the passage was of a giant hand suppressing heaven and earth, reaching down from the skies, with Four Spirits and a White Tiger surging up, breaking five fingers of that massive hand.
The Kylin forming in front of him was the very one that ascended to heaven and shattered the fingers!
It was not just its appearance; its aura was also unmistakably identical!
As the Kylin formed, it grew with the waves, quickly becoming as large as a yak, yet it did not speak to Su He but rather surveyed the surroundings of the grotto.
The grotto’s walls, stalactites, floor, and ceiling were all inscribed with characters.
Those characters were a jumbled mess, some were merely claw marks or scratches, but endowed with divine thoughts, the meaning became clear upon sight.
“Fellow Daoists, rest peacefully, having shattered its left hand, Your Majesty fought alone against its body, while we severed its right hand.”
This was the intention carried by a Big Seal inscribed with the words “Mother of Rain.” Merely two words brought forth an overwhelming air of a female supremo who mastered the rain of heaven and earth.
Among the Four of Wind, Rain, Lightning, and Thunder—Rain?
Su He shifted his gaze away from the Big Seal towards a tiger claw print at the side.
“Qilin Ancestor still has a fragment of its body left, but I wonder about my Tiger Ancestor?” The divine thought left by the claw print carried worry and hesitation.
Beside it was another response.
“The Dragon Ancestor has also disappeared …” The words seemed clawed out, incredibly ugly.
Next to it, the characters appeared significantly more beautiful.
“Do not worry, fellow Taoists, the Four Emperors shall break the boundaries and slay the evil demons!” The characters were arranged neatly and formally, resembling official documents.
All the inscriptions, it seemed, were similar—expressions of later generations’ reminiscence.
Until Su He saw a Phoenix Claw imprint.
“Son, your sister has awakened, when will you return?”
This presence …
Phoenix Ancestor?!
It was definitely the Phoenix Ancestor!
Although Su He had never seen the Phoenix Ancestor, he had been saved by her and had felt this exact aura.
He took a deep breath and averted his gaze, looking towards a horn-shaped large hole beside him.
The cave was large, as if to carve out another courtyard within the grotto.
His eyes landed on that large hole, and inexplicably, he visualized a scene of a Dragon Turtle leisurely inserting a claw into the wall of the cave—not one Dragon Turtle, but two!
As he looked at that horn, his mind received two divine thoughts.
“Eh?
The old fellow hasn’t come to mourn even once?
A disgraceful descendant!
Today, Ming comes, hoping the Qilin Ancestor blesses my Dragon Turtle Tribe with many offspring.”
Su He suddenly recalled a rumor about the Kylin set, which could enhance the breeding chances for Divine God Beasts.
Back in the modern world, he planned to better his relations with Mu Tong or the Water Monarch!
As he thought this, another divine thought followed.
“Ah!
There’s an already made hole?
Then I won’t poke anymore, I have been here…” This thought meandered lazily, seemingly listless and unwilling to speak.
This was … Thai Zu!
The grotto still contained many similar messages, with sword cuts and fist marks.
The Kylin looked in all directions, reviewing one after another, eventually lingering on the Phoenix Ancestor’s claw imprint, seemingly giving a slight smile, then slowly closing its eyes, letting the water in the cave wash over its entire body.
Su He stood quietly at the side, silently waiting.
After a long time, the Kylin slowly opened its eyes, gently murmuring, “The wind, has changed…”
Even through the dense seawater, the changing wind could be sensed, no longer the same wind he had once known.
