738: Chapter 192: The First Time-Based Divine Skill (Two in One)_1 738: Chapter 192: The First Time-Based Divine Skill (Two in One)_1 Grass Turtle Jade River chuckled and said to Su He earnestly, “Actually… the Dragon Turtle could tell the turtles that embark on this path not to show themselves before they prove to be Dragon Turtles.
Giving Little Turtles a hope to hold onto means many won’t choose the wrong path.”
The turtles that began the journey of the Dragon Turtle were all ordinary wild turtles, with no distinctions of good or bad, virtue or vice, or race for that matter.
They all started as beasts and fought their way up, awakening their Spirit Wisdom to survive.
There were those who joined the Fairy Sect and were brainwashed, and those who lived in the Mountain Forests, subsisting on raw flesh and blood.
If only there were elders to guide them, even if they couldn’t prove to be Dragon Turtles, what harm would there be in becoming dependents of Dragon Turtles?
The reasoning was sound, but if the elders and ancestors didn’t do this, they must have had their reasons.
Su He looked at it, his voice growing deeper, “Dragon Turtles live long lives.
If they can’t even withstand a few hundred or a thousand years of loneliness and confusion, how can they bear the bitterness of longevity?”
Longevity is a blessing, but it is also a poison.
Furthermore, from the moment they swallowed the Demonic Fruit and chose this path, protecting their offspring and their kin is an instinct etched into their Bloodline.
Those who break that instinct are never meant to become Dragon Turtles!
They are not one of our own!
The moment you decide to devour your kin for their bloodline is the moment you have renounced the Dragon Turtle Bloodline.
No matter how much Dragon Turtle blood you consume after that, you can no longer prove to be a Dragon Turtle!
No matter how talented, you won’t pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
Even consuming the blood of your kin won’t save you from failing the tribulation, and you won’t even have a chance to survive by becoming a demon.
There’s only one path left — to turn to ash.
Su He always thought that the Dragon Turtle Heaven Tribulation was the business of the gods until this journey to Ancient Times.
He suddenly realized that the secrets of the Dragon Turtle Tribe might be beyond his imagination!
For instance, no living creature can reincarnate into a Dragon Turtle.
Those who reincarnate as turtles and awaken the bloodline cannot pass the Heavenly Tribulation either.
But…
if Mingzu allows it, the Heavenly Tribulation won’t be a stumbling block in this matter.
Su He’s tribulation had nothing to do with his past life or reincarnation!
He thought being a transmigrator was special since there were no traces of him in this world…
Maybe it’s actually because of the pass he got from Mingzu during that trip to Ancient Times, right?
Also, Baiyin White Spirit, as well as Ya Ya.
Both he and Baiyin were allowed by Mingzu, but what about Ya Ya?
Ya Ya hasn’t even been reincarnated for a hundred years!
Mingzu has long been out of the picture.
Thai Zu?
Does that old fellow also know a lot of secrets?
Regardless, the Dragon Turtle Tribe surely has a say in their own Heavenly Tribulation; it’s just that the authority isn’t in Su He’s hands because he hasn’t been in contact and doesn’t understand that’s all.
However, this authority can’t be all-encompassing; otherwise, the Dragon Turtle Tribe would have countless members by now!
Su He looked down at the Grass Turtle, and considering its talent, it could have become a top-notched Turtle Demon in a thousand years, even if it couldn’t transcend and become a Dragon Turtle.
Reaching Stepping Sky Seven-fold was within its reach.
For the Demon Species, especially Turtle Demons, their lifespan is several times, even tens of times that of cultivators of the same Boundary Status.
Truly reaching Stepping Sky Seven-fold and living that long, it isn’t much different from being immortal.
Even for the immortal Dragon Turtles, no one has seen them live for tens of millions or even billions of years.
They tend to die from various accidents much earlier.
How many beings in the world manage to die a natural death?
Accidents usually come before reaching the limit.
Hearing Su He’s voice, the Grass Turtle broke into laughter and slowly closed its eyes as a muffled sound came from its heart.
It didn’t wait for Su He to make a move; it ended its own Turtle Life.
Watching its corpse, Su He fell silent.
After a while, he said, “Actually, I had no plan to kill it.”
With its Heart Orifice Shadow destroyed and unable to gather the True Person Shadow, its path as a Dragon Turtle was blocked, as was its path as a Demon Cultivator.
For the rest of its life, it would be forever imprisoned in this body, with no further progress in its Tao Cultivation.
It was like a cage.
Su He was the one who had scattered its Heart Orifice Shadow, not a failure during a Heavenly Tribulation that shattered the Shadow.
With a Demonic Fruit, it could still gather a human form and retread the path of a Demon Cultivator.
But scattering the Shadow was to disperse it from the roots; there was no longer any possibility of reassembling it.
Baiyin stepped out from the void, step by step.
She was just a Consciousness Body and wouldn’t actively approach the battle area, plus this was an internal affair of the Dragon Turtle Tribe.
Zheng and Greedy Wolf were already thrown outside by Su He, so why would she intervene?
She wasn’t a White Spirit yet!
Baiyin glanced casually at the Grass Turtle’s corpse and then lost interest.
She couldn’t muster extra emotions for the life or death of a Grass Turtle, even as just a Consciousness Body with only limited memories left.
She had seen too much of life and death, and as someone who reached to become an Immortal Sovereign, she naturally had the means and was not lacking in decisiveness.
For the Prison Clan, billions of people, she could wipe them out with a flick of her hand.
The playful and cute Baiyin in Su He’s eyes, placed among other species, was nothing but a Devil Head.
Baiyin shrugged, “Having already experienced the wonders of cultivation, how could I ever allow myself to be forever mired in a muck pit?”
She had seen too many beings like the Turtle Demon, be they human, demon, beast, witch, or Yuan Sovereign…
Su He was too young, he didn’t see those Divine God Beasts who were stuck at Opening Heaven Three-fold, Four-fold who, in order to move a step forward, resorted to despicable and insane actions.
He hadn’t seen those trying to open the door to the Fairy Sect at Stepping Sky Seven-fold and how far they’d fallen into madness.
In Ancient Times, when the two forces were initially fighting over Su He’s corpse, wasn’t it because they thought it harbored an opportunity to break through to become an Immortal Sovereign?
Why would living creatures settle for mediocrity?
After casually saying a few words, Baiyin turned her attention away from the Grass Turtle and instead snatched a Sunyu Treasure Mirror from Su He, playing with it with great interest.
Su He stomped down, and a mass of Ice wrapped the Grass Turtle, sinking it into the earth below.
He then turned to look at a stone arm nearby, and with a thought, a piece of North Underworld struck the arm, swirling around it, shaving the stone arm piece by piece.
