Chapter 212 Protection (1/2)

This took the Mystical Whale by surprise, as it did not imagine that Shen Lian could help it with its injury. The divine power Shen Lian exhibited while not as great as his previous owner, Mister Sea, it was still extremely powerful. He would not just be making empty promises.

It also could not imagine that twenty years ago, Shen Lian was just a small cultivator which could be swallowed by it.

Shen Lian waited until the Mystical Whale came to a decision. Other than him, only people of the rank of immortal Zhenren could help with the injury of the Mystical Whale.

The Qi of devilry surrounding the injury was extremely intense. If an average cultivator came in contact with it, his body and mind would have been frozen. The coldness could also destroy the spirit and the mind.

Shen Lian could only withstand it because his body had gone through the River of Spirits, and his spirit and mind were extremely robust, which too far exceeded the average Powang cultivator. As such, he could defend himself from the effect of the Qi of devilry.

The Mystical Whale rarely used its brain, but it was being careful this time. ”If you can help relieve me of my pain, please agree to this one item.”

Shen Lian asked, ”What other request do you have?”

The Mystical Whale replied, ”Mister Sea has cut out his telepathic communication with me. Now I have no owner and I am rather afraid. You are a powerful cultivator and are a human being. You must be from one of the Xuanmen sects. Can you take me in?”

Shen Lian said, ”Actually your owner has become a student of Baoyue the Venerable at Jinguang Temple. If you are not afraid that he will blame you if he comes to look for you, I have no reason to say no.”

He had his plan. While the Mystical Whale's breathing could disturb the Qi of heaven and earth, but if he guided it to the right direction, it could turn into a natural Qi Gathering Formation. If Gu Caiwei's Longevity Temple had the aid of the Mystical Whale to gather Qi of vitality, it would make the place a better spiritual location, even if it was not going to be as great as Qing Xuan.

The location of Longevity Temple was not too great. There was a vast sea with tons of treasure around, but the best spiritual locations were mostly occupied or dying.

Being the affiliate of Qing Xuan, to have such thin layer of Qi of vitality and spiritual vigor was a sorry sight for the big sect of ten thousand years of cumulation.

The Mystical Whale said, ”I didn't know that my owner is now in Jinguang Temple. I know where that is, it is in the Westfall and I can't get there at all. In addition, given he is still alive but has cut out communication with me, I think he will not be bothered about me anymore. If you have other considerations, you can just offer protection to me temporarily. After so many years, I do have some accumulations which I can use to contribute to you.”

It knew that if it did not have the protection of someone powerful, it would end up just being a piece of meat waiting to be sliced.

Shen Lian too looked like he came from one of the Xuanmen sects and would probably not be involved in evil deeds unlike those pursued by the demon king in the sea or the evil cultivators.

At the same time, having someone to rely on giving him a sense of comfort.

Shen Lian laughed, ”We Qing Xuan doesn't need something from you, but I need your help in something. Your suggestion is perfect for me.”

When it heard that Shen Lian was from Qing Xuan, the Mystical Whale was happy. It had lived long enough to know Qing Xuan was one of the four main sects of Xuanmen. Now that it sought protection from Qing Xuan, while it would not be considered as enlightenment, but at the very least it would not be captured by just anybody.

It swallowed a huge amount of Qi of vitality and hence it possessed deep mana, far exceeding the cultivators on earth, and in some circumstances, some of the demon kings. There were however only quantity but not quality. It had no way when it came across great cultivators who were excellent in divine techniques.

If it had any tricks up its sleeves, it could have dispelled the Qi of devilry instead of waiting for Shen Lian to appear.
