Don’t Mess with that Turtle Chapter 459

459: Chapter 96 Savage King_2 459: Chapter 96 Savage King_2 The Sealed Emperor’s Palace treated all sorts of Divine God Beasts with courtesy, granting all young divine beasts the same regard as that of a prince.

Should Su He visit the Sealed Emperor’s Palace fully above board, even if someone couldn’t wait to skin him and stew a pot of Dragon Turtle Soup, the Sealed Emperor’s Palace would still treat him with the honors due to a prince.

This Zhu Yan was slightly larger than the one Su He had killed but its presence was more imposing.

Compared to that Zhu Yan’s cunning aura, this one had more of a wild beast’s savagery.

The Zhu Yan grinned, stepping onto the carriage.

He cocked his head to look at the Third Emperor’s Son, “What’s the matter?

Did the Dao friend discuss targeting Dragon Turtles with Your Majesty?”

The Third Emperor’s Son shook his head, looking puzzled, “Why would I target Dragon Turtles?”

Zhu Yan snorted dismissively.

He hated dealing with these princes and nobles.

Even their conversations between father and son are so indirect; a simple, “Father Emperor, I want to crush that Dragon Turtle!” would suffice.

Instead, they beat around the bush, not mentioning even half a Dragon Turtle.

The Emperor was also strange, discussing reflections and the All Heavens without a word about the Dragon Turtle.

Yet, Zhu Yan knew they must have come to a silent agreement!

Indeed, these games of power were not for him.

Being a fake Zhu Yan, no wonder he didn’t fit in with his kin, who were experts in such intrigue!

The Third Emperor’s Son shook his head, “The Dragon Turtle Tribe are the darlings of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

I’m too busy trying to curry favor with them, why would I target them?

But enough about that, for what purpose has Brother Mahao come?”

Zhu Yan let out a sly chuckle, spreading his hands, “Give me a few more of those Talisman Runes.”

The Third Emperor’s Son smiled, “Does Brother Mahao also enjoy this?

But one should not consume too many of the Demon Species.

I’ve heard they’ve done great deeds in this realm!”

Zhu Yan curled his lip, what nonsense about the Demon Species.

He, a monkey, preferred Spirit Fruits over Demon fairies.

If a Spirit Plant could become a demon, he might be even a bit happier, but he wasn’t that interested in beasts!

The Third Emperor’s Son had Talisman Runes that could bind the wits of the Demon Species, making them similar to Exotic Beasts.

These Talisman Runes were peculiar, not only affecting the Demon Species but also silently affecting Divine Beasts, under severe conditions, of course.

The carriage stopped outside a Cave Heaven.

From the outside, the Cave Heaven appeared to be a manor, not very large, but upon entering, it was a different world altogether.

The carriage came to a halt by the lakeside where the Third Emperor’s Son enjoyed fishing.

Of the two Drakes in the lake, now only one remained.

The Third Emperor’s Son gestured with his hand, and the Drake Brow Heart Talisman shot out, landing in front of them, transforming into several almost identical but smaller Talismans.

“Brother Mahao, be careful.

The effect of this Talisman is deteriorating and might not contain a strong demon.”

Zhu Yan took the Talisman Runes, pursed his lips, and waved his hand as he walked away.

Deteriorating effects?

The Third Emperor’s Son is being modest.

If the effect is truly poor, how could it influence his younger and elder clan members?

Such stubbornness; one dares to provoke Su He, the other dares to provoke Green Thunder.

Truly fearless of death!

what does it have to do with him?

He only wishes to consolidate his Zhu Yan Bloodline and go even further!

When he opened the Four-fold Heavens, he drew all the images of mountains and rivers from the Boundary Pearl into his Inner World.

With such talent, among the Four Spirits Divine God Beasts, who else has it?

Though talent determined it, the Zhu Yan Clan can only open the Heaven Five-fold, forever living in the shadow of even the weakest of the Four Spirits.

How can one be satisfied with this?

He has no concern for other matters; he just wants to Open Seven-fold Heavens!

He wants to advance even further!

While his clan is important, wouldn’t it be more significant if, from him onwards, the Zhu Yan Clan could stand on the same level as the Four Spirits?

The Third Emperor’s Son watched Zhu Yan depart, shaking his head with a light chuckle.

To have evolved from an ordinary monkey into Zhu Yan, advancing through the realms to this point.

Could there really be such a fool?

It’s just a matter of mutual use!

Today’s visit to the Imperial Study Room let Zhu Yan know that he would target the Dragon Turtle.

It’s only natural that Zhu Yan knows what to do next—not to help him, but simply because their goals might coincide!

Su He leisurely opened his eyes, looking at the White Dragon coiled around the pillar, and asked, “Sister, is the Divine God Feather of the Phoenix Clan categorized as Formation or Talisman Rune?”

Formation attempts to trace The Great Tao, and so does Talisman Rune, but their methods are vastly different.

Formation relies on shapes, while Talisman Rune relies on meanings.

Whether it is Su He refining the Chaos Volcano or the Rapid Feather that accelerates flight, ultimately, it is about using treasures through special structures to trace a particular form of The Great Tao, adding their own requirements to make the Big Array function differently.

Even the legendary Nine Bends Yellow River Formation and Ten Absolute Formation from his past life worked in this way.

Whereas a Talisman Rune can be said to be a kind of text of The Great Tao.

But what exactly is a Divine God Feather?

It draws power from a Big Array, yet there is no Formation set upon the feather.

Instead, a pattern forms on the feather, somewhat resembling a Talisman Rune.

The White Dragon descended to the ground, and Ji Feixue appeared, smiling at Su He, “It is neither Formation nor Talisman Rune.

Didn’t your inheritance tell you?

That is Divine Skills!”

“Formation describes The Great Tao through shapes, Talisman Rune describes The Great Tao through meanings, whereas Divine Skills are explained through oneself.

The blood, bone, flesh, and Divine God Soul of a Divine Beast are all necessary to form Divine Skills.

All kinds of Divine Skills are Divine Beasts using their own bodies to depict The Great Tao.

She looked at Su He, “The Divine Skills you inherited from the Phoenix Clan cannot be applied to the Dragon Turtle True Form, and the same goes the other way around!”

To obtain the Divine Skills of a Divine Beast, one must refine that Beast’s entirety into one’s own body.

Like how the Sealed Emperor’s Palace controls the Soaring Snake’s Binding Heaven, the Dragon Turtle Tribe is also refining the Soaring Snake.

At that thought, Ji Feixue suddenly felt that the Soaring Snake indeed seemed very desirable.

Should she ask Thai Zu for one to refine for fun?

The image of a Soaring Snake with wings spread screeching flashed through her mind, and Ji Feixue shuddered.

She didn’t want it though; too ugly!

She waved her delicate finger at Su He’s brow, “What brought this on?

Are you finding learning about Formations challenging?”

Su He shook his head.

That wasn’t the case.

But having only studied and never applied the knowledge felt like building castles in the air, leaving him somewhat uneasy.
