Chapter 1209: Delivering The Skull As A Present (2/2)
The duo quietly followed him.
Li Qiye didn’t get too far before turning back at the big shots hiding their true forms: “Return from whence you came. The Seacrossing Shuttle isn’t a place for you all to ponder. Even if your progenitor was here, he still wouldn’t dare to claim success.”
These big shots didn’t refute Li Qiye’s statement.
After leaving the fragmented realm and the shuttle, Li Qiye turned back to see the shuttle still floating away. He gently sighed at the Untethered Vessel and thought about the day that might come in the future.
Ye Tu looked at it and asked: “When the Seacrossing Shuttle sinks back into the Bottomless Trench, will the Charming Fragmented Realm close again?”
Li Qiye answered with a nod: “Yes. Its next appearance will be very long from now. Or rather, this world will have changed by then.”
The group returned to Shallow Beach where a Void Imperfection disciple was already waiting. Ye Tu received the news and immediately told Li Qiye with excitement: “Young n.o.ble, the school has sent a message, the ancestral whale is waiting for you.”
“Good, I’ll set off at once.” He patted Ye Tu’s and Teng Jiwen’s shoulders and smiled: “It is time for me to go now. Do a good job training, maybe we'll meet again one day.”
The two bowed to say goodbye. This short period of time with Li Qiye had granted them great benefits that would last them a lifetime.
The Jade Sea was unimaginably vast, almost boundless. Its depths were beyond speculation with countless living beings thriving within. Some of them were wondrous creatures.
Very few cultivators and tribes were here at the desolate edge of this sea because it was simply too far from the central area. Mountains were in abundance at the bottom of the sea. One couldn’t see an end to them.
The number of islands could be compared to the number of stars in the sky. However, they were all uninhabited.
This was where the ancestral whale of the Void Imperfection School was sleeping. Of course, this was only a temporary rest. When it woke up again, it would swim everywhere throughout the Jade, Abyss, and Dragon Demon Seas!
In the legends, it was a gigantic whale left behind by Immortal Emperor Wu Gou. It had the bloodline of a true dragon, but it had yet to gain intelligence so it still had its whale form.
In a certain sense, this whale was the ancestral ground of the Void Imperfection Three Schools, a mobile one!
A great deal of resources was contained in this whale. Both treasures and merit laws were divided and some were kept inside the beast.
If one day the three schools were to meet a formidable enemy and be completely destroyed, as long as the ancestral whale was still there, there was a chance to rise again. Unless this enemy was able to destroy the ancestral whale as well, the spark of the three schools would continue to be pa.s.sed down for generations.
It wasn’t an easy matter to destroy an existence like the ancestral whale. An Immortal Emperor going all out might be able to do so, but even G.o.dkings were not sufficient for this task.
Moreover, the location of the whale had always been a secret. Very few within the sects knew its true whereabouts.
Its cruising trajectory through the vast seas was impossible to predict. And after a long journey, it would swim to the depths of the sea to hibernate out of sight.
An old man was waiting for Li Qiye the moment he entered this region. The old man had a full beard and white hair, making him look like an old mortal around the age of seventy. No one knew how long he had lived for.
Nevertheless, his blood energy was still robust. This was a terrifying G.o.dking.
“You must be Young n.o.ble Li.” The old man cupped his fists and smiled at Li Qiye.
Li Qiye smiled back and nodded: “Following the ancestral whale has been very rewarding for you. It looks like you have lived for two generations now.”
The old man was frightened to hear this. His ident.i.ty had always been a secret, even to his own sect. His mind shuddered at the sudden revelation of his longevity.
