157: Chapter 25 Call Sister_1 157: Chapter 25 Call Sister_1 This swamp was vast like the ocean, yet beneath the waters were clustered mountains and hills unlike the flat seabed.
The rpeople built their fortresses upon these mountains, cultivating aquatic plants and herding shoals of fish and sea beasts.
The houses of the rpeople resembled yurts or igloos, with dod roofs and arched, protruding doors.
But that was not the only type of dwelling; so rpeople chose to live within the underwater mountainsides, carving their hos directly into the rock.
Within, bright pearls shone, making the dwellings seem from the outside like the high-rise buildings of a previous life.
The rpeople were rather unique, all possessing cultivation levels, yet they chose to reside in humble dwellings akin to those of ordinary mortals.
Su He lay prostrate on the altar, while the other rpeople had scattered—the welcoming ritual wasn’t overly complicated, but the rmaid priestess, realizing sothing was amiss with Su He’s status, quickly sent the others away.
She was now trying to remove the layered turtle shells from his back.
After a complex ritual, the rmaid priestess bowed reverently, “The calamity has been resolved, please Divine God Armor, return to your place!”
The turtle shells on the Turtle Shell began to tremble as if ready to take flight.
It worked!
Su He was overjoyed.
This piece of Turtle Shell was extrely powerful, capable of pinning the Spirit Clan Stepping Sky to the ground and grinding it down.
It just consud too much energy.
The Dragon Turtle True Essence Condensing Liquid was still manageable, with over fifty drops in reserve.
But his Divine Sense was nearing depletion.
His Sea of Consciousness had shrunk to the size of a small pond.
If the Turtle Shell didn’t co off soon, Su He felt he’d be going under.
He wondered if this world had an Underworld?
The Turtle Shell trembled and floated up, as the white jade color faded from Su He’s body, reverting to black jade, and a flash of disappointnt crossed the rmaid priestess’ eyes.
It’s not white…
Black might exude dominance, but white was certainly more beautiful.
It was like their Divine God, seven parts domineering and three parts delicate.
Truly a picture of heroic elegance.
The priestess was not the only one disappointed; the floating Turtle Shell also seed averse to the black Dragon Turtle, hesitating in mid-air as if about to fly away.
Yet it suddenly turned back and with a snap, settled back onto Su He’s Shell.
The color that had just restored quickly turned to white jade once more.
Su He: “…”
With a helpless expression, he turned to the rmaid priestess, who looked back at the Turtle Shell with utter confusion.
Bowing once again, she entreated, “Please Divine God Armor, return to your place!”
The White Jade Turtle Shell moved slightly, then settled back into stillness—not as if wanting to leave, but rather seeking a comfortable spot to rest indefinitely.
“Please Divine God Armor, return to your place!” the priestess said once more, correcting her deanor.
The Turtle Shell stopped moving altogether, as though completely fused with Su He.
The priestess fell silent, and Su He t her gaze.
After a long pause, she finally said, “The Sovereign Divine God’s aura is present on your body, attracting the Divine God Armor to cling.”
Could this Dragon Turtle be a descendant or kin of the Divine God?
“What should we do then?” asked Su He.
It wasn’t as if he could regurgitate all the Turtle Beads and Turtle Elent he had absorbed.
He couldn’t do that!
How could he vomit out what had already been digested into flesh?
He looked at the rmaid priestess, her face etched with worry.
Blowing a bubble, he was at a loss for a solution; if he couldn’t figure it out, this swamp would beco the final resting place for both Dragon Turtles.
It was indeed fortunate!
Pacing back and forth, the priestess suddenly looked up at Su He, “Sovereign God, there is a place where the aura of our Divine God is stronger.
If you go there, you will surely be able to remove the Divine God Armor.”
“Where?” Su He looked up.
“The resting place of our Divine God—the Dragon Turtle Cetery!” For the strength of the aura, what place could surpass the tomb of the Divine God?
But the Dragon Turtle’s Great Tomb…
Since the burial of the Dragon Turtle, the rpeople had not revisited it, not even the priestesses who perford rituals from afar.
This Dragon Turtle, however, was kin to the Divine God and had eradicated the Sealing Land.
The Turtle Shell on his back was the cast-off skin of the Divine God.
It could not remain unremoved!
“Where is it?” Su He asked, not bothering with false modesty.
What use was there in pretending when one was on death’s door?
He’d find the great tomb, return the Turtle Shell, and offer incense and flowers.
The rmaid pointed upwards, and following her gesture, Su He saw that the sunset, not yet fallen, spread a fiery red across the sky, illuminating the clouds.
“The clouds?” Su He was astonished.
With a solemn face but a hint of pride in her eyes, the priestess confird, “Indeed, Sovereign God, the resting place of our Divine God lies within the clouds.”
Su He was taken aback.
How mighty my Turtle is!
Thankfully, the Dragon Turtle does not adhere to the tradition of burial in the ground.
But I hope if one day I too should die, I’d prefer burial over floating in the sky or cremation.
“Please wait, Sovereign God, I shall go prepare the Flying Boat,” the rmaid priestess bowed and took her leave.
These rpeople seed unable to fly.
It was unknown what Boundary Status they held, but it probably wasn’t very high—otherwise, they wouldn’t have struggled with even the sealed Spirit Clan.
Without the Dragon Turtle, the rpeople’s progression was slow.
Among his three hundred rpeople, barely one reached the Demonic Realm.
Su He had only waited a mont when a bamboo raft swiftly approached.
Feng Yaya ran excitedly atop it.
“Big Turtle, Big Turtle!
Look who this is!” she said as she pulled along a red-dressed young girl.
Su He glanced over.
“Chou Nu’er?” No, that wasn’t right!
The resemblance was uncanny, and the aura almost identical, but with the Turtle Shell on his body and phantom Dragon Horns erging from his head, Su He’s senses were heightened to the extre; even the slightest discrepancy couldn’t escape his detection.
This wasn’t Chou Nu’er, could they be twins?
The rmaid priestess bowed to Su He and invited him onto the bamboo raft.
With a push of the pole, the raft gently drifted towards the white clouds.
“You needn’t be surprised, Sovereign God,” she whispered to Su He.
“Jade awoke the ancestral bloodline, hence her appearance is such.
Rumors say this is the visage of the ancient rmaid Empress.
Miss Yaya’s Chou Nu’er must be the sa.” This generation of rpeople was indeed lucky; to witness the rare awakening of ancestral bloodlines twice in a thousand years was extraordinary.
It was unfortunate that Jade was guarding the tomb of the tribe here, wasting such exceptional bloodline.
Chou Nu’er on the other hand, seed favoured by fate, having followed a Divine God early on.
