952: Chapter 269: Collect a Family Member_2 952: Chapter 269: Collect a Family Member_2 Su He was surprised and sent a thread of consciousness into his Inner World, looking towards the Kui Trigram.
Before he had traveled through time, he had obtained the Kui Trigram of the Tian Nu Clan for several years without subduing it.
The Kui Trigram had only been quietly waiting, showing no signs of recognizing a master.
How come it actively came out now that he was back in the past?
Although it had not recognized a master yet, there seemed to be some intent now.
At this moment, the Kui Trigram was pressing down on the Little Kui Trigram, flashing a curious light that was very human-like.
Su He understood then.
It was attracted by the Little Kui Trigram.
In terms of compatibility, what could be more suitable than the Little Kui Trigram for it?
This era’s Kui Trigram had never seen the Little Kui Trigram, and being suddenly encountered, it was naturally drawn in.
It was, after all, in an unowned state!
The air was somewhat strange, the phantom of Tian Nu struggled to stabilize its form, showing only misery on Su He’s face.
In an instant, even the illusory body aged immensely, no longer mentioning the Kui Trigram, as if it had never happened.
He bowed again, “Fellow Daoist, the path of cultivation for the Tian Nu Clan is arduous, but during the death of Stepping Sky Seven-fold, there is a moment of splendor, which for an instant supports, strengthens, and nourishes the world exceeding all else!
The elderly are willing to release this moment of splendor into your Inner World.
I request your assistance!”
The Undamaged Realm was too far away, even in his prime, it would take at least two or three years to return—he was not a Four Spirits Divine God Beast, lacking the ability to teleport across long distances.
Bowing deeply, the phantom of Tian Nu looked at Su He with a pleading gaze.
With Yue Ying present, Su He of course knew how precious the ancestral return of the Tian Nu Clan was.
It was the only way for the Tian Nu Clan to enter the forbidden land.
Su He remained silent for a moment, then said, “The relationship between the Tian Nu Clan and me far exceeds what you imagine, Fellow Daoist.
There is no need for such actions.
I have a temporary use for the Kui Trigram, so I will keep it here for now.
I will hand it over to the Tian Nu Clan later.
As for this woman, if I cannot personally deliver her to the Tian Nu Clan, I will entrust someone else to do so.
As for you—”
Before Su He could finish speaking, the phantom of Tian Nu’s eyes brightened, and its entire soul body flickered with light, bowing again, “I am ready to enter annihilation at any time!”
Moment of splendor, he could release it at any time, it’s just death after all!
But the Dragon Turtle shook its head, its smile disappearing as it looked at him solemnly, “There is no need for you to die, Fellow Daoist.
Would you like to become one of my subordinates?”
The phantom paused, then smiled and shook its head, “As a mere remnant soul, how do I qualify for the position of a subordinate to a Fellow Daoist?”
In the world, there are proud beings who disdain the position of a subordinate of the Dragon Turtle.
Yet, countless cultivators flock to it.
Becoming a subordinate of the Dragon Turtle can be described as a swift rise to the heavens.
Being a subordinate is not being a slave.
Su He squinted at him, “Do you wish to become one, or not?”
Besides the Netherworld Passage, Su He’s Inner World also had its Netherworld, which could allow him to survive.
But this Tian Nu phantom named Yi River was not Yue Ying.
Having cultivated to Stepping Sky Seven-fold and being in a closed world had made him quite cunning.
Without becoming a subordinate, how could Su He let him enter his Inner World?
Dead people are not subject to time constraints.
Just like the ghost generals in the Inner World, they can follow Su He through time and space.
Subduing Yi River most likely would also work.
A soul of the Tian Nu Clan at Stepping Sky Seven-fold was something Su He wanted!
Yue Ying had only helped Su He nourish and consolidate the Mortal World, and had gathered laws.
Yet, she was of little help to the Netherworld.
This soul just filled that gap.
Alongside, Ji Feixue slightly frowned.
He did not know what Su He was doing, but having discretely cautioned him, he naturally would not speak further.
Yi River was silent for a long time, then nodded, “I will do it!”
He probably guessed that becoming a subordinate might involve the Netherworld mentioned by these two; who wouldn’t want to live?
Becoming a subordinate of the Dragon Turtle was not unacceptable.
As soon as he nodded, he felt a pulling force on his body and the majestic voice of the Dragon Turtle transmitted, “Irresistible!”
Yi River gave a bitter smile—the Dragon Turtle might not be of high realm, but its combat power had already surpassed his peak period.
At this moment, he was just a soul, what could he use to resist?
His form flashed and turned into a streak of blue light, being sucked into Su He’s Inner World.
In an instant of spinning heaven and earth, he landed in a dark world where currents of extremely Yin and pure Qi surged up, healing his injuries while Yi River felt the entire world weighing down on him.
This suppression was not to destroy his soul body but to make him submit, to make him comply, to make him a part of this world!
In front of him, a large general clad in armor, holding a military sword menacingly, watched him.
If he dared show the slightest resistance, he would be instantly cut down, annihilating his Divine God Soul.
This place—was the Dragon Turtle’s Inner World!
Yi River was shocked.
This Dragon Turtle’s Inner World could preserve souls?
Is this what is called Netherworld?
No wonder that woman did not want him to come in.
Which Divine God Beast’s Inner World would want an outsider?
Yi River quickly understood the crux and immediately gave up all resistance, letting the Dragon Turtle’s Inner World imprint on him, slowly replacing his Qi with that of this world, turning him into a creature of this Inner World.
This was a capability Su He attained in his Opening Heaven Three-fold, where his Inner World could gather living creatures.
Transforming external living creatures.
However, such transformation was laborious and unappreciated, as transformed creatures couldn’t provide the Life Force.
It was just having an extra tenant.
Unless it’s the Tian Nu Clan, which itself could nourish and consolidate the world.
“Netherworld?” Ji Feixue exclaimed in surprise.
The moment Su He took Yi River into his Inner World, he sensed the Netherworld Qi there.
This Dragon Turtle opened up a Netherworld?
Indeed, that’s unheard of.
“Not just that, oh!” Su He chuckled slyly, his claw flipping to gather up the Goddess of the Tian Nu Clan.
The baby girl was in a sealed state, sealed within a lotus, perfectly suitable to be placed in the External Space.
