The wind blew quietly, and the cloudless night sky was illuminated by the extraordinarily large silver moon. The distant stars formed a resplendent river of stars.
Li Qingshan held the Divine Talisman of Great Creation and remained silent for a very long time. Everything he had experienced in the Mirage sea was like a dream. He muttered to himself, "Shen Mengdie!"
Suddenly, he smiled. Probably no one could imagine just what kind of upheaval this crazy woman, who had been trapped in the South sea for several thousand years, would bring to the world after undergoing the fourth heavenly tribulation. From now on, the Dragon province would be filled with trouble.
Of course, even now, he was still extremely doubtful of what she had said. He felt like she had lost herself too deeply in the illusions, which was why she had become so crazy. She was like the authors who had been scared to death by their own horror novels in the news from his past life.
However, it was exactly because of such strange existences that the nine provinces were so interesting, making people yearn for them.
"Alright. I look forward to our reunion in the Dragon province. However, when the time comes, I'll 'bully' you viciously."
He stowed the Divine Talisman of Great Creation away and smiled. He was very vengeful.
With that, he looked around. The surroundings were calm, so he could not help but smile bitterly. This crazy woman had almost made him lose his mind. He just felt like she could appear at any time.
"Qingshan, look. What's that?" Little Ann suddenly pointed to the south.
Li Qingshan followed her finger and saw a protruding semicircle on the horizon. "It should be an island!" That seemed to be the only explanation given how far away it was.
"But it wasn't there earlier …" Before Little Ann could finish, Li Qingshan noticed something strange as well. The "island" was clearly rapidly enlarging, approaching them at an unbelievable speed. The calm sea suddenly began to surge.
Li Qingshan called out to Little Ann, and they immediately flew north. It definitely would not be easy to deal with something like that. Fortunately, although they had experienced great danger in the Mirage sea, they were basically uninjured. They were currently flying at full speed, so they moved extremely quickly.
However, when Li Qingshan looked back, he was shocked to find that the "island" was approaching at a speed that was clearly faster and larger.
Just as Li Qingshan was wondering what kind of calamity he was about to get himself into, the 'island' stopped at the place where the Sea King of Mirage Sea was undergoing its tribulation.
"So the target wasn't us, but that crazy woman!"
Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. He flew for another distance and concealed his aura. Then, he executed the "Mystic Light Illuminates All" and zoomed in on the scene hundreds of kilometers away.
"So big!"
Li Qingshan let out a cry of surprise. That "island" was actually a giant whale that was tens of thousands of meters long. A light wave of its tail would stir up a tsunami, and a jet of water would shoot up into the sky, as if it wanted to wash away the bright moon in the sky. In the face of this inconceivably huge strange creature, he could not help but sigh as if he had seen a god.
"It's the Great Whale King, one of the seventy-two demon monarchs. According to the records, he swims in the deep sea and never comes to the coastal waters. Very few people have seen him.
Legend has it that his whale song is very beneficial to the soul. I think it's similar to the Chant of Deva-Nāga performed by a Monk King at the peak of the third heavenly tribulation, but it's definitely hard to hear. "
Little Ann introduced calmly. Just like the Clam King of Mirage Sea, this was a colossus of the South Sea. However, one swam in the deep sea, while the other was trapped in the Mirage Sea. As smart as she was, she did not expect
Will cross paths with them.
All of a sudden, the deep and boundless whale song, together with the surging of the sea, flew over hundreds of miles of the sea and entered Li Qingshan's ears.
He had heard countless songs before, including popular music and beautiful classical music. However, there was not a single sound that could compare to this boundless whale song. It was like the soul of the sea was singing, and even his mind trembled.
The whale song came in waves, each higher than the last. Li Qingshan closed his eyes and listened, feeling the vastness of the sea. His tired mind gradually calmed down. Everything he had experienced in the Mirage Sea was like passing clouds. In the end, all that was left was this solemn and ethereal whale song that reverberated in his mind.
After an unknown period of time, the whale song stopped. The Great Whale King seemed to glance at Li Qingshan through the Profound Light Illuminates All. Its dark eyes seemed to freeze the entire deep sea, deep and serene. Then, it did not linger any longer, turning back and swimming towards the depths of the sea.
An irrepressible desire suddenly rose in Li Qingshan's heart. He wanted to cast everything aside and follow him into the depths of the endless sea. He wanted to float along with the waves, roam the sea, and not have to fight or worry anymore.
However, he returned to his senses very soon. Now was not the time. He still had a heavy responsibility. He had to continue forward until he reached the heavens and stood beside that figure.
As a result, he watched the huge whale gradually shrink, finally disappearing from the surface of the sea.
She's probably here to see Shen Mengdie off! However, she doesn't know that crazy woman has already gone to the Dragon province. Li Qingshan could hear the farewell in the whale song. There was even a hint of joy, for she had finally broken out of the Mirage Sea and emerged as a butterfly.
She has always doubted her own existence. She wants me to remember her as proof, but she doesn't know that someone has always remembered her.
Afterwards, Li Qingshan discovered that he had unknowingly mastered the Arts of the Boundless Ocean. This cultivation method that he had once placed great importance on had been eliminated before he could even reach the ninth layer. Even if he comprehended it now, it did not seem to be of much use anymore. However, so what?
What mattered was that he would never forget the whale song under the moon. He would let it resound in his heart until the day when he was relieved of the heavy responsibility on his body and would listen to its call.
Until then, he would carry on fighting with fear and dreams.
Under the glow of the setting sun, Li Qingshan and Little Ann saw the coastline. Afterwards, they continued towards Savage mountain.
"Qingshan," Little Ann suddenly called out.
"Yes, what is it?" Li Qingshan turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"In your dreams, did you want to kiss me?" Little Ann stared straight at him with her clear eyes, as if she could see the bottom of his heart.
"It's not like I haven't kissed you before." Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat as he said unconcernedly.
"Not your face, your mouth!" Little Ann was extremely skilled at observing his expressions. Even the slightest expression could not escape her eyes. In order to emphasize it, she even purposefully pointed at his lips.
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't!" Li Qingshan's eyes widened like a bull's.
"You're blushing," Little Ann said. She added in her heart, "And it's very red!"
"That's because of the light," Li Qingshan refuted.
"But the side without the light is also red."
"Alright, let's not talk about these useless things. We have to hurry back!" Li Qingshan sped up and flew away. He had always been known for his bravery, but now, his back seemed to be in a rather sorry state. He heard Little Ann's bell-like laughter behind him.
