Chapter 985: Chapter 514: Land of Inheritance (Part 2)

Under the vast starry sky, the Nine Nether Whale’s mournful howl echoed, containing endless sorrow, with the Nether Qi surging fiercely, as if responding to its lament, enveloping the entire Sea Realm in an oppressive atmosphere.

Watching this scene, Li Mu frowned, unable to discern its meaning. ℴℴ𝘮

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, only the attributes of the Nine Nether Whale were obtained, along with unsatisfactory adverbs, without discovering its roots.

Xue’Er felt compassion stir in her heart. She recalled her own tribe that was once extinguished, and her mother who sacrificed herself to protect her. Her eyes reflected deep sympathy and sorrow, as if she could feel the Nine Nether Whale’s inner pain.

"Brother Li, I want to help it!"

Xue’Er looked at Li Mu, her eyes shining with a pleading light, signaling.

"Well, if you can communicate smoothly with it, you can try to understand what it truly needs and why it’s like this!" Li Mu nodded, signaling.

Xue’Er nodded gladly and closed her eyes, casting her spell once more.

Soon, with Xiaobai’s cooperation, the Kun Whale’s avatar let out a long howl, carrying Xue’Er’s emotional power, attempting to communicate more deeply with that Nine Nether Whale.

The Nine Nether Whale’s spirit was invigorated, responding with long, continuous howls. Those howls carried endless grief, helplessness, and hope, as if narrating the ordeal of its tribe and the enigma of changes in this Star Realm.

Xue’Er concentrated, listening intently, striving to understand the message the Nine Nether Whale was conveying.

The two Nine Nether Whales continued their howling exchange from afar. After a while, Xue’Er concluded her spellcasting, opened her eyes, her delicate eyebrows knitted tightly, her expression turning grave.

"Brother Li, that whale says something happened to their Land of Inheritance, causing a massive death toll, and it escaped from there, hoping to follow us!"

Xue’Er looked at Li Mu, recounting the circumstances of the Nine Nether Whale.

"A massive number of Eighth Tier Nine Nether Whales dead! What is going on? Ask it clearly!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Mu was startled, his expression turning serious. Realizing the gravity of the issue, he hurriedly urged for more details.

Xue’Er nodded, closed her eyes again, concentrating to communicate with the Nine Nether Whale.

Amidst the howling, the Nine Nether Whale’s emotions grew more agitated. It vividly described the sudden mutation happening in the Land of Inheritance, an unknown, destructive force suddenly emerged, causing the massive death of its tribe members. As one of the few survivors, it fled amid the chaos.

After quite a while, Xue’Er ended her spellcasting, responding gravely: "Brother Li, it says a powerful unknown force suddenly appeared in the Land of Inheritance. That force is terrifying, nearly annihilating their tribe’s Land of Inheritance overnight. A large number of the tribe perished in that disaster. It’s one of the few who escaped, and now the survivors of its tribe are scarce and scattered. It hopes to follow us to find other survivors and rebuild the tribe."

"A destructive force? What kind of force could that be, perhaps it’s the root of this realm’s Spiritual Qi depletion?"

Startled to the core, Li Mu connected it to the depletion of Spiritual Qi, suspecting that this unknown, destructive force’s emergence might not just be the Nine Nether Whale tribe’s catastrophe but a tremendous threat facing the entire Star Realm.

What kind of majestic force could instantly kill a large number of Eighth Tier Kun Whales? However, tied to the reasons behind this realm’s Spiritual Qi starting to deplete, he couldn’t help but associate them together.

"If we can explore the Nine Nether Whale’s Land of Inheritance, maybe we can uncover the mystery behind the depletion of Spiritual Qi in this realm." A thought suddenly flashed in Li Mu’s mind, leading him to murmur speculatively.

"Brother Li, that dangerous place? Are we going?" Xue’Er, hearing this, couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, her worry evident, not wanting Li Mu to risk exploring such a perilous place.

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, a trace of curiosity about the roots flickered in his eyes, but he rationally extinguished the thought immediately.

Li Mu chuckled mockingly: "Xue’Er, rest assured. I have self-awareness. That’s a force even the entire Eighth Tier Nine Nether Whale tribe couldn’t resist. How could a mere Void Refining Cultivator like me have the qualifications to go to such a dangerous place? If the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it. Let Integration Cultivators, Daoist Monarch Cultivators explore these things!"

"Our current strength is not sufficient to tread into such dangerous territories." Li Mu looked at Xue’Er, saying earnestly: "Our current task is to leave this Star Realm quickly and convey this message, letting more capable cultivators and forces know about this, to collectively face the imminent crisis."

Hearing this, Xue’Er couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, finding comfort in Li Mu’s sensible thinking, nodding in agreement with joy.

"When you ask it about the precise whereabouts of the Kun Whale tribe’s Land of Inheritance, be cautious." Li Mu glanced at the Nine Nether Whale, instructing Xue’Er to remind her: "The Nine Nether Whale’s Innate Divine Techniques enable them to engrave the location of their Land of Inheritance in their bloodline at birth. When communicating with it, try to be indirect, avoiding direct questioning to prevent arousing its alertness."

Suddenly, another idea flashed in Li Mu’s mind, adding: "Also, the Nine Nether Whale is the overlord of this Star Realm. They have roamed this Star Realm for countless years, perhaps knowing the location of Dark Spirit Star. If possible, try asking them about the location of Dark Spirit Star."
