Chapter 1384: Old Memories
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Han Fei’s first reaction was shock.
Because, in a sense, the Cloud Whale shouldn’t be a sea demon!
Han Fei had always thought that the Cloud Whale was the only one in this world, the loneliest and most peculiar whale in the world.
But now it didn’t seem to be the case at all.
Han Fei had never asked, When did the Cloud Whale appear on the Scattered Stars Island? And why was it rescued by humans and living together with humans?
“Huh?”
The old turtle couldn’t help but exclaim, “I seem to have seen this whale before. It’s wandering in the sky outside your island.”
Han Fei’s mind was racing. The layout of the Yin-Yang World was almost the same as that of the Water-Wood World. Both places were locked down by the Wall of Death.
The Cloud Whale on the Scattered Stars Island was actually not very strong. Although it ate a lot, it didn’t grow much in strength.
Because it didn’t like to stay at a low alt.i.tude, except when it was on the Scattered Stars Island, it would occasionally pick up humans at a low alt.i.tude. The rest of the time, it shuttled through the clouds in the sky.
Han Fei couldn’t help wondering, Is a whale a viviparous animal? Is the Cloud Whale outside this Cloud Whale’s baby?
But Han Fei realized that something was wrong. This Cloud Whale had been dead for a long time. How could it have a cub?
Immediately, Han Fei didn’t dive down at all, but sat cross-legged in the water and focused his attention on its black-fog body.
Due to the Twin Divine Technique, the two bodies interconnected.
The black-mist body hidden in the giant turtle’s body asked casually, “Senior, let me ask you something. Do you know when that Cloud Whale appeared on the Scattered Stars Island? When I came back, I met the Cloud Whale, only to find that it was still in the Sea Demon Realm. It ate so much, but its strength didn’t increase at all?”
The Star Turtle asked in confusion, “Why are you asking this? Is the existence below related to the Cloud Whale?”
Han Fei thought to himself, Do you have to be so sensitive? Also, you have been suppressing it for so long. Don’t you know what’s underneath?
However, Han Fei didn’t disclose it. Instead, he said, “Of course it has nothing to do with the one below. They’re not in the same era. I just feel bored and want to chat with you! The Cloud Whale race is special after all. What happened to the Cloud Whale’s ancestors? Why is there only one Cloud Whale in the world?”
Hearing Han Fei’s words, the Star Turtle couldn’t help but say, “Well, I don’t know much about the ancestors of the little Cloud Whale. I think maybe it’s because they have different living habits! After all, fish should live in water. But they live in the sky, right?”
Han Fei pretended to be surprised. “Does the Cloud Whale really have ancestors?”
The Star Turtle said, “I don’t know if it has or not, because I have been here for tens of thousands of years. However, the Little Cloud Whale is indeed a rare creature. More than 1,800 years ago, when I transcended the tribulation to make a breakthrough equivalent to the Explorer level of you humans, the commander of that time captured the Little Cloud Whale from somewhere and said that he wanted to see how much of the power of the heavenly tribulation the Little Cloud Whale could absorb.”
Han Fei was stunned. “More than 1,800 years ago?”
Han Fei immediately said, “Why do I vaguely remember that the Cloud Whale appeared before the eyes of human beings only eight hundred years ago?”
The Star Turtle said, “That’s right. At that time, the little Cloud Whale was still young and too weak. It was raised as a pet by Little Tang, and it didn’t return to the Scattered Stars Island until a thousand years later. However, the little Cloud Whale’s talent might not be very good. After a thousand years, it hadn’t even reached the Sea Demon Realm yet and was still in the Demonization Realm. Up to this day, another 800 years have pa.s.sed, and the little Cloud Whale has only reached the Sea Demon Realm.”
Han Fei’s lips twitched. The Cloud Whale was so big and was a legend creature. It didn’t make sense for it to grow so slowly. He was a little curious back then, but he didn’t ask much back then.
But now, Han Fei felt that there was a big secret behind it.
Suddenly, Han Fei remembered, Back then, there was another person involved in this matter, who was the former commander.
Han Fei asked, “Senior, is the former commander still here? Who is he?”
The Star Turtle said without hesitation, “Little Tang! His full name is Tang Yan. He’s quite a gentle person. His talent is really good. However, shortly after my breakthrough, Little Tang left and never came back.”
“Tang Yan?”
“Hiss…”
Han Fei was shocked. Li Daxian and Tang Yan were both on the Ideal Palace’s Overlord Roll. On the void stone monument, sometimes, Li Daxian was ranked first, and sometimes Tang Yan was ranked first. He didn’t know which of them was stronger.
However, the Thousand Star City didn’t seem to know much about Li Daxian and Tang Yan. No one could find out the origins of these two people. This should also be related to the memory loss seal of the Ideal Palace.
However, the ident.i.ty of Li Daxian had already been revealed! He was Patriarch Thug and also the fake Junior Uncle Faceless. He was the legendary Patriarch Thug who was said to once suppress the entire Thousand Star City.
People only knew his power but didn’t know his name. How many people in the world knew his name was Li Daxian?
If Li Daxian had such an ident.i.ty, was Tang Yan really just a commander? Was it so simple?
When the Star Turtle transcended the tribulation, Tang Yan took the little Cloud Whale to absorb the power of the tribulation. Then, not long after, Tang Yan left… After a thousand years, the Cloud Whale returned by itself?
It seemed to be a simple event, but every step felt wrong.
Han Fei couldn’t help asking, “Senior, didn’t Commander Tang Yan tell you the origin of the Cloud Whale?”
The Star Turtle said, “We didn’t have the time to talk about that. When I transcended the tribulation, the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and the Empyrean Waterfall collapsed. It was very dangerous. I didn’t have the time to chat with Little Tang at all. Later, when I transcended the tribulation, I was in a weak state and fell into a deep sleep. The Empyrean Waterfall you see now is so huge because the waterfall was moved here later and was actually man-made.”
Han Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. There must be something wrong with Tang Yan.
The Star Turtle said that even the Empyrean Waterfall had collapsed during the tribulation.
At that time, the little Cloud Whale had just been brought here, and then left for a thousand years. Was it a coincidence?
“No!”
Han Fei certainly wouldn’t believe that it was a coincidence. This was just the most basic clue.
Even if a random person came over and saw the corpse of a Cloud Whale hidden under the king’s pressure, he would definitely have the same reaction as him.
If he wanted to know more about the Cloud Whale, there was a living Cloud Whale outside the island, and he might find some clues from it!
Han Fei rolled his eyes. “By the way, Senior, is the corpse of the king down below really a corpse? Is it possible that it’s alive? I feel that the pressure down below is too strong. I can hardly handle it!”
The Star Turtle didn’t know the situation down below.
It just answered Han Fei’s questions. Because it knew very well about this suppressing pressure. If it weren’t for the suppressing pressure of this king’s corpse, its soul power would have long penetrated through.
The Star Turtle said firmly, “He’s definitely dead, definitely. That’s the corpse of a king! If he were half dead, it would be very easy for him to absorb my vitality. How can I suppress him for so long?”
Han Fei thought to himself, It seems that the Star Turtle doesn’t know what is down below. As for Tang Yan, although the Star Turtle may know something about him, it is not complete…
The Scattered Stars Island must have records about its past commanders.
After all, barracks barely changed, while soldiers came and went like water.
None of the commanders were simple. How could there not be any records about them?
Han Fei stopped asking.
If he had any doubts, he just needed to keep it in his heart and check it when he was free.
Han Fei sighed and changed the topic to chat with the Star Turtle about disa.s.sembling spiritual energy. After all, they were both experienced, and the Star Turtle’s disa.s.sembling degree must have reached 70%. Perhaps he could study something from him, right?
Under the king’s pressure, the real size of the sky was much larger than what it looked like from the outside. The so-called king pressure formed a green mist barrier that separated the two sides like a seal.
This world seemed to be a perfect corpse hiding place.
Compared to the outside, the demonic energy here was more violent. However, with Han Fei’s spiritual heritage that had surpa.s.sed the mortal level, this demonic energy couldn’t do anything to him.
This Cloud Whale was huge, even larger than the Cloud Whale outside the island.
Han Fei gave a self-deprecating smile.
Before, he didn’t really believe it, but now his eyes were really opened.
The enormous dragon and the ten-thousand-meter-long Cloud Whale had already told him that there were many more such terrifying monsters outside. He just needed to get used to them!
Unlike the floor that was covered with ultra-quality demonic stones just now, there were many rare spiritual plants growing around the Cloud Whale. There were more than a thousand of them.
In addition, there seemed to be an invisible energy guarding the king’s body. Han Fei was proficient in arrays, but he couldn’t tell what kind of array it was.
However, after sensing the pressure around him, Han Fei didn’t feel it was very strong. It seemed to be weaker than that in the green mist. Besides, it was clear underwater that the giant corpse was right in front of him, waiting for him to come over to enjoy it.
However, Han Fei had never used a king’s corpse.
Han Fei immediately asked, “Old Yuan, what do you think this corpse is used for? Skin it, disembowel it, and take its bones?”
The old turtle couldn’t help but ask with disgust, “Do you have to be so cruel?”
Han Fei said awkwardly, “I’m just asking.”
The old turtle said unhurriedly, “I don’t think this corpse is easy to use.”
“Huh?”
The old turtle said, “A king is in the Sea Establishment Realm. You humans call them Sea Establishers, and the sea demons call them Deep Sea Giant Demons, but in fact, they’re just different names. Sea Establishment is to create your own ocean. This is an independent s.p.a.ce. Although this king is dead, it doesn’t mean that the world he created has perished. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Huh? A king’s personal s.p.a.ce?”
Han Fei couldn’t help taking a breath. “I haven’t thought of taking the wealth of a king yet! What treasures will there be in this Cloud Whale’s remains?”
