Chapter 1337: Elemental Mermaid’s Secret
On the other hand, from the beginning of the formation of the Island Whale embryos, 80% of the energy in the Island Whale flesh had already been used up. Otherwise, there would not have been 30 Island Whale embryos that were formed.

A small whale fall might not even be able to form Island Whale embryos. Even if it could, it would not exceed two embryos.
The Mother of Bloodbath had already stored 13 of the Island Whale embryos into a fey storage box to prevent them from fighting for nutrients with Red Thorn. It also told Red Thorn about how it could extract the Island Whale brain oil through the Island Whales’ eyes.

At that moment, a clear yet far-off whale cry was released from the three Island Whale bodies covered with brutal vine ramets.
Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed because he realized that he heard the whale’s cries through his soul instead of his ears.
The 13 Island Whale embryos that the Mother of Bloodbath had stored inside the fey storage box were unable to produce any whale cries.
The three Island Whales were also dead and half-eaten by Red Thorn. As such, they could not let out any noise.
If Lin Yuan could hear a whale cry, it must mean that there was another whale-species fey nearby. Additionally, it was very likely that this whale-species fey was soul-type.
This made Lin Yuan recall a legend he had recently read in the Hidden Moon Pavilion. Lin Yuan was extremely interested in this legend. Hence, he had intentionally brought it up with the Moon Empress.
This Moon Empress had said that this legend came from the sea clans. Legend had it that only the elemental mermaids from the deep sea could sense the sorrow within a whale fall and see the fey formed from the souls of the whales called Remembrance Soul Whale.
At that time, the Moon Empress had expressed that there was no way to verify the legend as the elemental mermaid itself was a legend. It would be ridiculous to use a legend to verify a legend.
At that moment, Lin Yuan noticed that Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath’s faces had not changed in the slightest. This meant that neither of them had heard the whale cry.
As Lin Yuan thought about the legend, he suddenly noticed an issue. According to the legend, elemental mermaids could sense the sorrow coming from a whale fall and see the Remembrance Soul Whale.
After Lin Yuan fused with Dark Blue, his body would become flowing water. He looked no different from an elemental mermaid.
Did this mean that he could hear the whale cry while Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath could not because of Dark Blue? If so, this matter just became interesting.
Dark Blue was a fey formed by the Moon Empress from the dead Moving Source Water. It was not an elemental mermaid.
Before the Moving Source Water became a sacred source lifeform, it had been an Apostle from the water world with below-average faith power. This meant that the legend about the elemental mermaids should come from the water world, and they were likely dimensional lifeforms that had escaped through a water world dimensional rift.
If this were true, it was no wonder that elemental mermaids had disappeared into history.
The main world only had spirit qi and no source-type power.
Dimensional lifeforms were unable to absorb spirit qi from the main world and could not receive enough source-type power to increase their power. If they were unable to increase their power, their lifespans would not grow. No matter how long their lifespans were, they would eventually die.
Lin Yuan had used blood to form a contract and link with Dark Blue. If Dark Blue truly was a sacred source lifeform formed from an elemental mermaid Apostle, by combining with Dark Blue’s body, he would have become the personification of the legend!
In order to confirm this, Lin Yuan used Faith Application to combine with Dark Blue right there in the ocean.
He a.s.sumed that combining with Dark Blue this time would turn him into a mermaid just like he did on land. However, the transformation was completely different from what Lin Yuan thought.
When he used Faith Application, Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath both felt the still water start to move.
As the cold water started to move, it resulted in refres.h.i.+ng fluctuations.
The floating aquatic plants and lifeforms that the red flowers had not consumed were gathered together again.
A blue ripple that could not be defined by worldly time flowed outward with Lin Yuan at the center. This blue soul that flowed like water swirled around until a vortex was formed.
Lin Yuan’s body became transparent under the blue backdrop. A fishtail many times longer than what it would be on land swept up thousands of tides in the water and pushed the water further.
Lin Yuan’s black eyes changed to light blue, and it was as though he could see the bonds of water themselves.
As Lin Yuan’s blue eyes shone, they resembled the milky way in the sky.
Lin Yuan’s long hair turned into tides that weaved together a blue palace. At that same moment, the entire sea broke out into tens of thousands of songs.
The deep blue currents were like the wind in the sky that gently and affectionately enveloped Lin Yuan.
At that moment, Lin Yuan could clearly feel the delight in all the water elements around him.
At the same moment that Lin Yuan transformed, Liu Jie, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Red Thorn immediately turned their attention to Lin Yuan.
One look was enough to ensnare the fey, human, and fairy. At that moment, everything beautiful was defined by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was also stupefied. He never knew that the Faith Application he had been using had been incomplete. It would only be in its true form when it was used in water.
He felt that he looked like the spitting image of the elemental mermaid from the legend.
Just as he was about to seek out the source of the whale cry, he heard it again with his soul.
Soon, a small silvery-white whale with a sole slender horn materialized from the bottom of the ocean. This whale did not have a corporeal body and was completely formed from soul energy.

The small whale made a beeline for Lin Yuan and released a chain of whale cries.
When it saw Lin Yuan, it was as though it was looking at a member of its family.
Liu Jie, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Red Thorn’s faces fell when they saw the small whale charging toward Lin Yuan, and they readied themselves to attack it.
Lin Yuan hurriedly said, “Don’t touch it. It won’t hurt me.”
Liu Jie, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Red Thorn relaxed.
However, the Mother of Bloodbath and Red Thorn abandoned the whale fall and moved over to Lin Yuan to form a barrier between him and the small whale.
The small whale was slightly scared when it saw that it was being blocked. But this did not stop it from coming closer to Lin Yuan.
