From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 195 - 190: Canghai Whale Emperor Technique

"Moo!!"

Above the Jade Dragon Pond, the Canghai Whale sails through the wind and waves, with its two large fins like clouds hanging from the sky, slowly refining the final gift from the Whale Emperor.

Waves of azure light surged, filled with potent Demon Energy, spreading in all directions, refining the dense essence of Spiritual Energy in the world.

Relentlessly charging towards the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.

Li Quanqing took out the Golden Toad Calming Incense and lit it; the last time Ao Qing broke through, only one-third was consumed, and now there was a big piece left.

The rich fragrance turned into wisps of mist that dispersed, the green smoke curling up into the void, concentrated without dissipating, capable of stimulating living creatures to birth Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

Although the potential of the Canghai Whale was not very strong, it had previously refined the Whale Emperor’s essence blood, and with the help of Beiming Zhen Sha, it now completed the final missing piece.

The breakthrough was relatively effortless, with an appearance of smooth sailing.

The Old Clan Chief and the others naturally noticed the commotion here; Divine Sense swept across, filled with amazement and puzzlement.

This was already the third Foundation Establishment Demon Beast; could it be that Li Quanqing really has an Innate Beast-controlling Saint Body?

"Moo~"

The breakthrough of the Canghai Whale lasted several hours, and finally, accompanied by an ethereal and melodious whale song, its fins swept and it flew up into the Heavenly Vault.

A torrential rain fell down, with large drops of water pitter-pattering, mixed with wisps of Demon Energy and Spirit Essence, falling into the pond water.

Attracting many Green Jade Carps to scramble for it.

Li Quanqing looked up to see the successful breakthrough of the Canghai Whale, its body coated with wisps of white steam that gathered together and ultimately condensed into a light group at its head.

He extinguished the Calming Incense in his hand; now only one-third remained, still enough for one more lighting to assist a creature in breaking through Foundation Establishment.

"Screech!!"

The Dragon Flame Eagle flapped its wings and cried out, as if celebrating for its buddy, while the Green Horned Fish Dragon did the same, circling high in the sky, causing the Spirit Rain to grow heavier.

The Canghai Whale stretched its body, moving slowly through the void, its fins spreading wide like cloud sails, flying across the sky, casting a massive shadow below.

The Spiritual Whale, with its docile nature, seemed to enjoy this feeling of soaring through the heavens, emitting waves of cheerful calls, before finally descending gently.

Its massive body broke the water surface, diving back into the pond water, causing waves to rise and fall turbulently.

Li Quanqing reached out a palm and lightly touched the light group, with several lines of text immediately appearing before his eyes.

[Harvest: Foundation Establishment Early Stage Canghai Whale King, reward Golden Core Technique ’Canghai Whale Emperor Technique’!]

[Canghai Whale Emperor Technique (Incomplete): The Sect-Protecting Body Cultivation Method of the Whale Emperor Sect. One can cultivate the Canghai Whale Emperor Body, able to condense a Body Refining Golden Core, possessing the Divine Skill ’Dome Sky Blue Sea’, with a complete copy reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.]

Li Quanqing felt a touch of surprise in his heart, having never imagined that the lost inheritance of the Whale Emperor Sect would truly be found by him.

"Quanqing, congratulations!"

Li Kunlun arrived walking on air, earnestly gazing at the massive body of the Canghai Whale and heartfeltly expressing his felicitations; after all, this was also an enhancement of the entire Li Family’s strength.

Li Quanqing responded with a smile, and after raising over a thousand Green Jade Carps in the fish pond behind the Hanhai Bowl, he sat down on the embankment constructed at the shore.

He had specially laid out a Spirit Gathering Array in this place, not far from his own Cave Mansion, where incense could be burned, tea brewed, and one could enjoy the scenery while cultivating.

Li Quanqing crushed the light group inside the Storage Bag, and the dazzling glow revealed a sea-blue statue, intricately carved in the image of the Canghai Whale Emperor.

On the statue’s surface, innumerable characters and Runes converged, forming an ancient scripture that reached the Golden Core True Master.

Li Quanqing held the statue in his hands, touching it with his Divine Sense, and suddenly those Runes seemed to come alive, twinkling ceaselessly.

His entire mind seemed to sink into the depths of the statue, witnessing thousands of Canghai Whales stirring up towering waves in the sea, and eventually taking to the wind to disappear between the blue sky and the ether, leaving only a vast Canghai behind.

A unique aura emanated from the statue, with deep whale songs resonating, causing Li Quanqing’s cultivated Dragon Whale Great Strength Body to involuntarily activate.

Six Dragon Whale Marks manifested on his chest and back, limbs outstretched, roaring to the heavens, the silhouette lifelike.

The Dragon Whale Great Strength Body, having originated from the ’Canghai Whale Emperor Technique’, naturally encountered no difficulty in the transition to cultivating it.

Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on the embankment, slowly comprehending the scripture, especially the Golden Core Chapter, which was the most important for Foundation Establishment.

Although only the Early Stage Golden Core inheritance, it still appeared profound and boundless, containing many principles, and upon reading, it seemed infinitely mystical.

After all, according to the annotations of the Golden Finger, this scripture was in fact an ancient Nascent Soul Level scroll with an extraordinary origin.

"Body Refining Golden Core..."

Li Quanqing opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air from his chest, and his gaze flickered slightly.

He had once queried the Old Clan Chief about whether the ’Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill’ had a Golden Core Chapter, and the answer he received was negative.

The family’s inherited scriptures only reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

But as to whether it was possible to break through to Golden Core using this cultivation technique, Li Zongyao was uncertain, only taking out the Green Tide Pearl and saying that this family heirloom Strange Treasure might contain a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, for many years, almost no Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators had succeeded in comprehending it.

"Having found a Golden Core Technique as a safety net is reassuring."

A weight lifted in Li Quanqing’s heart.

Though it was just the Early Stage Golden Core Chapter, it didn’t matter. There would definitely be more surprises as the Canghai Whale continued to break through further.

Furthermore, the Shuihua Sword Sect of the future would only have a False Core Cultivator, inferior to a genuine Golden Core Early Stage anyway.

The only problem was whether, after condensing the Golden Core of the Canghai Whale Emperor, he would still be able to condense a second Golden Core with the ’Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill’?

"It should be possible..."

Li Quanqing harbored some hesitation in his heart.

He thought of the strange phenomena he encountered while cultivating the Dragon Whale Great Strength Body; the resonance between the physical body and mana was meant to be complementary.

He fiddled with the sea-blue statue in his hand, deciding to give it a try and began his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the practice of the Canghai Whale Emperor Technique went extremely smoothly, as if he was naturally attuned to it.

The six Dragon Whale Marks roared, mana surged through his meridians, carving out new pathways for circulation, and a layer of unique aura slowly unfolded, indicating a successful conversion of cultivation.

Splash! Jade Dragon Pond stirred up waves as crystal clear streams converged, seemingly drawn to Li Quanqing, moving as though they were an extension of his arms.

"Is this the power of the Canghai Whale Emperor Technique?" Li Quanqing extended his finger to gently touch the water, and immediately, the stream surged, transforming into lifelike shapes of spiritual beasts such as the Green Horned Fish Dragon and the Dragon Flame Eagle.

He had not used the Water Control Skill, merely achieving a fraction of the Canghai Whale Emperor Body, and yet he seemed to naturally be close to the boundless Canghai.

It was at this moment that the Azure Sea Magic Power within his Dantian suddenly whipped up huge waves, accelerating the process of absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi by a full fifty percent.

Streams of water gathered beneath him, lifting his body as a massive sphere of water would, immersing him completely.

Li Quanqing even had a feeling that if he were to cultivate in the vast ocean at this time, his speed would be even faster, easily assimilating the abundant Water Essence Qi in the sea.

Buzz! It was also at this moment that the "川"-shaped water rune on Li Quanqing’s forehead reappeared.

Under the influence of the Canghai Whale Emperor Body, this rune continued to complete itself, as never before had the flesh and mana fused so perfectly.

Eventually, the rune was fully formed, resembling three wave-like marks coming together to form a flowing river.

What is the use of this thing? Li Quanqing gently touched the rune on his forehead, stirring it lightly with mana.

Immediately, the "川" shaped rune shone brightly, an invisible fluctuation spreading throughout the entire Qingyu Cave Heaven.

It seemed to be searching for something, resonating as if with the entire relic of the Whale Emperor Sect.

Then a thunderous roar echoed; in the sky above the Qingyu Cave Heaven, a spiritual secret realm slowly opened up, an astonishing storm of Spiritual Energy burst forth, sweeping in all directions.

The rune on his forehead flickered incessantly, as if something there was incessantly drawing it in.

Li Quanqing felt himself becoming lighter and, unable to resist, flew towards this never-before-seen secret realm, vanishing inside in the blink of an eye.

The secret realm was vast but appeared very dilapidated and empty, with only the rich nature’s spiritual energy drifting around like dense white fog.

The rune on Li Quanqing’s forehead kept flashing, and he could still feel that pull, flying deeper towards the heart of the realm.

At last, in the very center of the secret realm, a serene pond appeared before him, its water smooth as a mirror, formed from the purest concentrated spiritual energy.

Within the pond, a skeleton was sitting in meditation, draped in lavish blue and gold vestment robes, uncorrupted for a thousand years, still flickering with a hazy spirit light.

At the rune’s beckoning, something also resonated within the skeleton’s embrace, exuding bursts of light.

Li Quanqing reached out, and a token flew out, the front engraved with the words "Tianhe".

An ancient aura hit him squarely in the face, with the same "川" shaped rune as the one on his forehead, magnificent and grand.

On the back of the token was a figure whose face could not be seen, seemingly part of a vast and boundless Tianhe, with immeasurable mana.

Behind him, several sounds of breaking air sounded, and Li Quanqing’s expression shifted subtly; he promptly stored away the Tianhe Token and obscured the rune on his forehead.

"Spiritual Energy Liquid!" The Old Clan Chief was the first to arrive, the Green Tide Pearl atop his head shedding light, and in his arms he held a small cauldron; upon seeing the pond of spiritual liquid, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"Quanqing, are you alright?" Following him, three people cast concerned glances his way: "Strange, how did this secret realm suddenly appear..."

"I don’t know either, but I found this." Li Quanqing took out the Canghai Whale Emperor Inheritance Statue, pretending to have found it on the skeleton.

"The inheritance of the Whale Emperor Sect!" The others exclaimed in succession, each cradling the statue to observe; this was a Golden Core Level body refining technique, capable of condensing a body refining Golden Core.

"If so, the identity of this skeleton must surely be the last Sect Master of the Whale Emperor Sect from all those years ago!" The four of them cast their eyes downward, extending their Divine Sense, and the whole circumstance came into clear view.

Apart from the high-grade vestment robes, there were only a few Storage Bags left.

It was a pity that upon opening them, they discovered that all the Elixirs inside had been consumed, leaving only some Jade Bottles and over a thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

"This person must have come here gravely injured and on the verge of death..." Having inspected the skeleton, they discovered astonishing and terrifying injuries—the bones throughout the body were completely shattered.

Even the vestment robes on the back had a large tear, and the body was covered in wounds, indicating the intensity of the battle fought.

"So it seems, this secret realm is indeed the central region of the Qingyu Cave Heaven, and the place with the richest spiritual energy." They looked towards the depths of the spiritual pond, only to see endless Array Patterns flickering and weaving together, forming a vast and majestic Array core that resembled a Canghai Whale swimming.

Unfortunately, this Array had been previously eroded by the Shuihua Sword Sect, causing even this place to be damaged, with the Array Spirit seriously hurt.

It would require a Third-rank Array Master at least to repair it.

"Kunlun, given your current cultivation, can you directly break through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection if you go into seclusion here?" The Old Clan Chief suddenly spoke up, his eyes gleaming with hope.
