Chapter 211 Eye of the Sea (2/2)
It was due to the cumulation of elixirs at Qing Xuan that helped Shen Lian to improve so rapidly in the five years. He managed to gather the mana that usual cultivators would take a few hundred years to achieve.
Shen Lian looked to achieve success early because of his responsibility.
His mana was indeed pure and deep, and his techniques were blended in well. However, as he was in a rush, it affected his steady Daoist heart. As a result, he left the mountain to fulfill his wish in order to move ahead.
The High Cloud did not stop, it went on top of the Mystical Whale. Using his mana, while he still could not achieve the mountain-moving and sea-flipping effect of Taiyue Real Shape Incantation, it could still force the Mystical Whale to communicate with him.
When he stood in front of the Mystical Whale, Shen Lian looked insignificant in front of the humongous whale, but Shen Lian who was so insignificant could actually suppress it.
It spoke to Shen Lian using telepathy, ”Why are you bothering me?”
Shen Lian saw that the Mystical Whale too carried some humanity, he responded naturally, ”Why are you disturbing the sea here?”
The Mystical Whale responded, ”You too know that I used to be the mount of a powerful Demon King, but since five years ago, he disappeared. I only know that he went on land. I am limited by my form and I can't get on land. In previous years, my owner too had disappeared, but this time around, I can't even reach him with telepathy. I have nobody and hence I decided to sink underwater to sleep for a while and perhaps by the time I wake up, my owner will be back. Unfortunately, I did not find the right position and I fell right into the Eye of the Sea. There was something unknown in the Eye of the Sea and it created a huge cut on my body. There was Qi of devilry around it so it never cured and the injury kept swallowing my vitality. As a result, I have to take in a lot of Qi of vitality to be able to recover. Every ingestion requires digestions, and all the spiritual power I gain from that is used to counter the Qi of devilry. Every half a year, I need to replenish my Qi of vitality.”
It had a huge appetite, as a result, for every full ingestion, it could last a few hundred years without ingesting anything again, but with the injury, the period was shortened.
Given how frequent it was taking in Qi of vitality, and the many lives it had taken, naturally, it had attracted a lot of cultivators' attention. While the Mystical Whale was not high in terms of states, it had a deep level of mana. Aided by its talent, most cultivators' attack was nothing to it.
After Shen Lian heard that, he said, ”Let me check if what you said is true.”
He used a Water Repelling Incantation and he dived in. He did see a huge cut in the lower body of the Mystical Whale. There was no blood but the Qi of devilry.
Shen Lian separated from his spiritual identity and fell on the injury. The cold Qi of devilry almost froze his spiritual identity. Shen Lian took a long time to gather back his spiritual identity and the coldness did not disappear.
Even with his cultivation experience, he could not handle it, less so for the Mystical Whale.
If not because of its huge size and the capacity to take in Qi of vitality, the injury probably would get worse.
The Qi of devilry was extremely concentrated and it did not seem like something that was formed naturally, but more like through some techniques.
The world was huge but just a mere Eye of the Sea which could release such powerful Qi of devilry was indeed rare. Shen Lian felt like investigating this further.
Shen Lian resurfaced and he asked, ”You didn't lie to me, but where is the Eye of the Sea? Can you lead me there?”
The Mystical Whale sounded afraid, ”I dare not to go back there.”
Shen Lian said, ”If I help you recover, will you bring me there?”
