This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1598 - 51: Whale, You’re So Beautiful_3

"Of course, you shouldn't underestimate the drum," Drum said earnestly, "The world inside the drum is vast, extremely vast, and it can hold a great many people. The power of the drum is enormous."

Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly, and his tightly held heart finally relaxed.

"However," Drum spoke again at this moment, causing Lu Qingshan's heart to rise again, "Where is the Heavenly River Sea you mentioned, Drum?"

"..." Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I'll take you there."

"Then we can set off now, Drum!" Drum said eagerly.

Its mental age is still that of a young boy, unable to hide anything, and it even shows more eagerness than Lu Qingshan.

Before he could begin persuading, Lu Qingshan was left to silently nod as Drum took over the conversation entirely.

......

The bright moon hung in the sky.

As most of the island's creatures fell into slumber.

The ground suddenly emitted an almost imperceptible vibration.

The vibration was so subtle that hardly anyone noticed, let alone was startled awake from their dreams.

In the Three-feet Edge weapon shop in Dragon Slaying City, Xue Zhuyong was one of the few exceptions.

He and his wife stood side by side in the courtyard, gazing up at the round moon above.

In their eyes, the moon appeared to expand slightly, moving with an almost imperceptible vibration.

"It has begun," he said softly.

"If he hadn't told us, I would never have guessed we have been living on the back of a whale for so many years," Mo Zhizhi said, holding Xue Zhuyong's arm, expressing amazement.

"There are many things in the world we cannot foresee," Xue Zhuyong agreed.

For instance, he never imagined that after twenty years apart, Lu Qingshan would become the master of the Taoist Sect, or that his own son was now fighting the Demon Race in the Central Spirit, being one of the leading cultivators, with a future likely to become the guardian cultivator of the Central Spirit Domain.

.......

Lu Qingshan hovered in the air.

Before his eyes, the enormous Dragon Slaying Island began to rise steadily.

As Dragon Slaying Island rose, the submerged lower half revealed itself before Lu Qingshan's eyes.

This was Lu Qingshan's first glimpse of the Longevity Whale's true form.

It was unimaginably gigantic, the most striking feature of the Longevity Whale.

Its sheer size was breathtaking.

The Longevity Whale is the only being in the world that can evoke a sense of awe simply through its size.

Even with the vision of a cultivator, hovering at a high point, it was impossible to see from the head to the tail of the Longevity Whale, boundless and vast.

Moreover, its appearance was extremely beautiful.

The Longevity Whale's body was entirely golden, with black patterns within the gold, resembling a giant roc, spanning the galaxy and the moonlight, immense and boundless, its entire body surrounded by a gentle radiance.

Its golden eyes were like two suns, shining brightly.

As the altitude increased, even though the Longevity Whale did nothing, it was akin to a deity gazing down upon the world, leaving one in awe.

Under Lu Qingshan's gaze, with a buzzing sound, green mist surged from the Spiritual Abyss, transforming into streams of light, like divine chains, before enveloping the Dragon Slaying Island on its back.

Of course, this scene appeared to the creatures on the island merely as auroras weaving across the sky.

"We can set off now, Drum!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan seemingly lost in thought, standing motionless, Drum hurriedly prompted.

Lu Qingshan snapped back from his amazement, unable to resist praising that the Longevity Whale was the most beautiful spirit beast he had ever seen, but then remembered that strictly speaking, whales are not considered fish.

Thus, he remarked to Drum:

"Whale, you are so beautiful."
