This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1602 - 54: Blossoms on the Other Shore of Heaven (Part 2)
"This is the opportunity I mentioned with the Clan Leader of the Wind Clan that might resolve the migration issue of the beings on Qingcang Island." Now that most of the matter had been settled, Lu Qingshan found no need to hide his words any longer.
"The kin of the Whale God..." Feng Mo, the Wind Saint, and Feng Bai, the three great cultivators of the Wind Clan, instantly recognized the origin of the part of the body exposed above the sea.
Being farsighted individuals, they understood Lu Qingshan’s intentions the moment they recognized the drum, without requiring further explanation.
A juvenile Longevity Whale?
No.
It’s a Transport Whale.
"I never thought that there could be a second Longevity Whale in this world," Feng Mo remarked, looking at the drum with a gentle gaze.
Born within the world nurtured by the Whale God, cultivators of the Wind Clan naturally felt an instinctive affinity towards the Longevity Whale.
"I didn’t expect it either before I met the Whale God," Lu Qingshan said with a smile. "Its name is Drum."
"I encountered it by chance in the southern seas of Sky Dome Heaven during my early travels, and due to a fortuitous encounter, I bear a slight mark from it on my body.
The Whale God sensed this mark and thus took the initiative to meet me." He explained the entire sequence of events.
"Compared to your Whale God, it is still quite young," Lu Qingshan added.
Indeed, Zhuo had already reached old age and could fall at any moment.
But Drum, whose inner small world had not yet nurtured any true beings, had existed for millions of years, yet in the Longevity Whale clan, it would still be considered juvenile.
"The Whale God can be saved." Feng Mo found hope, unable to contain his excitement.
"Let’s see what they decide," Lu Qingshan nodded.
The first to notice the arrival of Lu Qingshan and Drum was not Zang Xiaojian, who had been waiting, but the Whale God Zhuo.
An instinctive sense from their kind allowed them—the two whales—to detect each other’s presence the moment they got close.
As Lu Qingshan communicated with the three Wind Clan cultivators, Drum and Zhuo were also engaging in their exchange.
Using a frequency unique to them, which no one else could hear, much less understand.
Lu Qingshan and the Wind Saint, Feng Bai, and Feng Mo sat quietly, waiting.
They all knew that the success or failure of this plan and how it should be executed was not up to them but depended on the dialogue between Zhuo and Drum.
.......
The exchange between Zhuo and Drum lasted far longer than they had anticipated.
After an hour, both Feng Mo and Lu Qingshan simultaneously received messages from Zhuo and Drum.
"Drum and Zhuo have reached an agreement; we’ll proceed as you suggested, Drum." For some reason, Drum’s voice carried a hint of sadness.
Lu Qingshan heard the sadness in Drum’s voice but did not inquire further, merely nodding quietly and then looking at Feng Mo.
Feng Mo gave a slight nod in return, indicating that Zhuo had also explained things clearly to him.
"Our Wind Clan will fully support your plan."
Lu Qingshan’s plan was simple: using the Longevity Whale as a vehicle to carry the beings of Qingcang Island out of the Heavenly River Sea while helping Zhuo release Qingcang Island from its binding and leave the Heavenly River Sea.
However, actually implementing the plan would not be an easy task.
—Relocating an entire clan, especially such a large one, is never simple.
Luckily, in a cultivator’s world, many problems could be solved through great power.
Moreover, common people generally couldn’t muster much resistance against cultivators and would readily cooperate.
This, without a doubt, could resolve most of the issues encountered during the migration.
......
Once the migration plan was set, the Wind Clan immediately sprang into action.
Wind Clan cultivators spread across Qingcang Island, informing everyone of the imminent sea storm and directing them to prepare for migration within the specified time frame.
The notification was simple and straightforward, with little further explanation.
The people of Qingcang Island were puzzled and somewhat reluctant, as leaving one’s homeland is always difficult; however, only a few chose to resist or dared to resist.
Wind Clan cultivators gave the people only half a day.
After half a day, most people gathered at the designated locations as instructed, though a tiny fraction didn’t believe the "sea storm" warning and refused to cooperate.
Wind Clan cultivators were not polite; a sweep with Divine Sense, and these people were directly captured and brought over.
Regardless of their willingness, they would be taken away first.
It was just this "unreasonable."
The strong needn’t reason with the weak, especially when it was under the banner of greater good.
With cultivators "supervising," even though Qingcang Island was vast as a region, half a day was enough for them to complete all preparations.
This was also why Lu Qingshan hadn’t informed Feng Mo earlier to allow time for preparation.
Over Qingcang Island.
Lu Qingshan and Feng Mo stood side by side.
Just moments ago, Feng Mo had received word from clan cultivators that their preparations were complete.
He looked at Lu Qingshan.
The two exchanged glances and simultaneously nodded with great understanding.
"The beings of Qingcang, return to Gulong Realm!" Feng Mo’s Element Force stirred in his throat, spreading outward.
Gulong Realm was the name of the world nurtured by Drum.
The moment Feng Mo’s voice echoed, all Wind Clan cultivators harnessed their Spiritual Power, forming a Spiritual Power Light Shield to encompass group after group of Qingcang Island’s inhabitants.
In their eyes full of curiosity and fear, the Spiritual Power Light Shield lifted them into the air, departing Qingcang Island until they appeared above Drum.
As one Spiritual Power Light Cluster hovered over the Longevity Whale Drum, the blowhole previously regarded by the people of Dragon Slaying Island as a Spiritual Abyss suddenly expanded, emitting a vast suction force.
An air current appeared instantly, enveloping all the Spiritual Power Light Clusters.
These Spiritual Power Light Clusters, guided by the air current, surged from all directions towards the blowhole, disappearing into it in the blink of an eye.
When the Spiritual Power Light Clusters reappeared, the beings of Qingcang Island found themselves in a new world—a primitive, undeveloped world.
The Spiritual Power Light Clusters continued arriving, and Drum did not refuse any entrants.
Drum was indeed still young, yet within Gulong Realm, let alone nurturing beings as powerful as the Wind Clan, it hadn’t even spawned truly corporeal lifeforms.
However, in terms of sheer vastness, it was in no way inferior.
Hosting just the beings of one Qingcang Island? Gulong Realm could fit even four or five more.
After all, it was about carrying, not settling, so the ecological requirements weren’t high.
Like moving a village’s people, you could pack them into a large ship and set off.
At present, Drum was assuming the "ship" role.
In less than half a day, all beings of Qingcang Island and even most Wind Clan cultivators followed the powerful suction and appeared in Gulong Realm.
The once bustling Qingcang Island suddenly fell silent, turning into an isolated isle.
"Drum, are you okay?" Lu Qingshan stood on Drum’s back, asking softly.
"Very easy, Drum could still take ten more," Drum resolutely replied, like a boastful young boy pounding his chest in assurance.
"Then... let’s add two more," Lu Qingshan responded.
"...Drum?" Although still young and naive, Drum faintly sensed it misspoke.
Raising his right hand, just like guiding Drum before, Lu Qingshan pointed towards the direction of Lingye Island.
"Let’s set off then," Lu Qingshan smiled, breezy and carefree.
"Drum!" With a mighty plunge into the sea, Drum headed in the direction Lu Qingshan pointed.
Feng Mo was unsurprised upon seeing this.
Lu Qingshan had already informed him beforehand.
However, Feng Mo did not join the journey to Lingye Island.
Because, Feng Mo had more crucial matters to attend to.
He turned and looked toward Qingcang Island.
RUMBLE!
A now-quiet Qingcang Island began to shake violently at this moment.
Amidst the tremors, as if hit by an earthquake, the land of Qingcang Island began to crack.
Next, came intense shaking.
With the shaking, the cracked ground started to fall into the Heavenly River Sea like peeled scabs, one piece after another.
It was then that Feng Mo saw the true form of the Whale God for the first time.
Golden skin similar to Drum’s, but with far more intricate and mystical patterns.
After tossing Qingcang Island into the Heavenly River Sea, the Whale God Zhuo felt the immense pressure lift from its body. Relieved, it couldn’t help but give a powerful tail flick, stirring up endless waves.
Feng Mo shifted his figure to appear above Zhuo.
This Longevity Whale, having reached its twilight years, once again radiated vitality, traversing the vast Heavenly River Sea against Drum’s direction.
Its destination.
Was Heavenly River City.
With Qingcang Island’s bindings lifted, no one could stop its stride anymore.
Its final wish was merely to transform the world it nurtured within its body.
Since the Heavenly River Sea couldn’t contain it, it would simply move elsewhere.
The fish leaps in the sea now.
The flower blooms on the other side of the sky.
