Practice begins with immortality

Afterwards, Tian Xuanzi told Xiao Miao about the giant whale:

"After leaving my hometown, I began to wander the world, visiting numerous ancient ruins and searching for ancient texts. Through these experiences, I gradually deduced the origins of this giant whale."

He said solemnly, "This giant whale was brought here from somewhere else by a group of ancient cultivators. Only the Great World can give birth to such an alien species with the bloodline of a divine beast."

"The essence of demonic beast cultivation is to continuously tap into the potential of their own bloodlines, returning to their ancestral form to become even more powerful. This ancient group of cultivators brought this giant whale here, hoping to harness the power of this world and allow it to devour the creatures of this world to strengthen its bloodline."

"But later, someone unknown what happened caused unrest in that great world, and all the ancient cultivators evacuated the Beichen Realm, but this giant whale was left behind here."

……

"Doesn't that mean this giant whale will one day devour the entire world?" Xiao Miao couldn't help but ask after hearing the giant whale's origins. He really couldn't imagine what the world would become if that day really came.

"Yes, but that's a long time in the future. Most cultivators won't live to see that time. Naturally, future generations will worry about what happens next," Tian Xuanzi said helplessly. He knew Xiao Miao's concerns, but some things were beyond their control.

In fact, Tian Xuanzi had also dreamed of slaying the giant whale after breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm. However, as his vision broadened, he gradually realized that slaying the giant whale was no easy task.

Divine beasts like Kunpeng are born at what cultivators call the Mahayana stage. The Mahayana stage is essentially an immortal, but because the human world lacks immortal energy, the concept of ascension exists.

Of course, the giant whale in the Beichen Realm was definitely not a true Kunpeng. But with the blood of a divine beast, it was not something that could be killed by a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator.

According to Tian Xuanzi's speculation, if you want to kill this thing, you have to use Lianxu. Only by using the absolute size advantage can you kill it safely.

……

The South China Sea border three days later.

In the sky, more than a dozen figures flickered like ghosts. They formed a tight encirclement, trapping several Nascent Soul cultivators in the middle.

"It seems that we are a step too late. Xiao boy, I will take you out later, just relax." Immediately afterwards, Xiao Miao's body suddenly emanated a strange aura, and then turned into a blood shadow, instantly crossing a thousand miles away.

"Oh no! This blood shadow can actually break through the restriction!" Seeing Xiao Miao's successful escape, the people around him were shocked. However, before they could react, a strange force suddenly descended, causing them to fall into a brief state of unconsciousness.

"Success! Let's go!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, several surrounded monks immediately cast powerful spells, tearing a hole in the encirclement and taking the opportunity to escape. At the same time, similar incidents were constantly happening in other places along the South China Sea border.

A few days later, in a mysterious hall.

There was a rich spiritual energy surrounding this place, but there was nothing there and the ground was pitch black.

At this time, more than ten monks had arrived. These monks had concealed their figures, making it impossible to see who they were, but from the powerful aura emanating from them, it could be judged that they were all high-level monks.

After a while, many more people came here.

"It seems that people from all sects have arrived. Next, we should discuss the affairs of the South China Sea." One of the monks spoke up.

"Everything remains the same." Another voice sounded, a female voice, clear and pleasant, as beautiful as a flowing spring.

"This time is different from the past. The giant whale is about to advance, and more living creatures are needed. Moreover, many cultivators in the South China Sea received the news in advance and left." said the cultivator who spoke first.

"Although it was sealed off in time, many people still escaped. And it's impossible to seal it off again." The man paused and said, "Also, I don't know who broke the news to the Jindan cultivators in the South China Sea."

"Seeing this, the great monk from the South Sea simply brought together the high-level monks from both the human and demon races to break through the barrier together."

"To put it simply, we live together and die together. Giant whales don't distinguish between friend and foe anyway!" The ones who shouted were the great monks from the South China Sea.

"Fellow Daoist from the South China Sea, this giant whale is a ferocious creature in your South China Sea, how can you..." He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Bullshit! Which of your factions hasn't benefited from that giant whale?! Do you dare to say you haven't taken advantage of the murderous aura and Kunpeng aura left behind after the catastrophe?!"

"Let me put it this way. Either you find someone to fill the remaining gap, or you wait for the giant whale to reach you and see if the ancestors in your sect can defeat it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The originally noisy hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Then, someone broke the silence and said, "If that's the case, then everyone should contribute some share to fill this gap."

Someone echoed, "Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. If we let that giant whale rush in, we'll all be doomed."

Another person added, "And those demon tribes, with their abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for them to drive away those low-level demon beasts."

"Well, but we still have to be careful, after all, there are too many of them." Another person reminded.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Also, I remember that there are millions of ghosts in the ghost cave, which can also be used to fill it."

Upon hearing this, an old man was immediately furious. He slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "That is our sect's important place. The ghosts inside are our sect's blood food. How can we use them so easily?"

"Haha, fellow Daoist, please think carefully. Once the giant whale arrives, it will be more willing to devour high-level cultivators like us than low-level cultivators. I don't need to explain the interests involved, and you should understand it."

The old man's expression was uncertain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll give it to you! But fellow Taoist, I hope you can be more generous!"

There was another round of wrangling, with everyone expressing their opinions and discussing their respective shares. The entire hall was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
