Chapter 10 Forging Destiny, Soul-Suppressing Sound
Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Because too many people died and were injured during the daytime whale hunt, and the remaining crew members were exhausted, they only did a simple treatment of the spirit whale, sending the valuable parts to the cargo hold for storage, while the remaining carcasses were still piled up on the deck.
In the upper cabin, Chen Ye pushed open the door, looked around the spacious and bright room, and nodded in satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because Gong Chengyuan recognized their performance during the day, or perhaps it was because the Gong family suffered heavy casualties during the whale hunt, leaving many rooms empty.
Gong Chengyuan directly moved Chen Ye to the upper cabin, which was also a way of indirectly expressing to the crew that as long as they were willing to work hard for the Gong family, they would be treated well.
"only……"
Sitting on the comfortable bed, Chen Ye recalled the somber mood that had permeated the crew during dinner, and felt that the atmosphere on the ship seemed somewhat oppressive.
After all, with so many people dying at once, it's impossible for there to be no impact.
Fortunately, the Cangyun has begun its return voyage. Although the ship was damaged, after repairs, its speed has not slowed down much. It will be able to return to the Gong family's main island, Jinwu Island, in seven days at most.
It's only been a few days, so nothing unexpected is likely to happen...
Shaking his head to stop his wild thoughts, Chen Ye's mind sank as he looked into his sea of consciousness.
[A late-stage Tier 1 demonic beast/exotic species. Using this to forge one's lifespan can add a hundred years, increase blood energy by 50, increase spirit energy by 50, and grant the innate spell "Soul-Suppressing Sound!"]
[Requirements for Forging Life: Ordinary Spiritual Flame, 50 strands of spiritual power!]
"Fifty strands of spiritual energy?!"
Upon seeing the conditions required for forging destiny, Chen Ye couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
He has only just broken through to the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm. Although his spiritual power has increased many times over, fifty strands of spiritual power are almost equivalent to half of his original strength.
But as the saying goes, the more you give, the more you receive. In addition to a full hundred years of lifespan, you will also gain fifty points of blood energy and a boost to your soul power after the life-forging process.
Although Chen Ye didn't know the exact number, considering the enormous size and powerful blood energy of the Spirit Whisker Whale, it must be quite high.
What interests Chen Ye the most is the innate spell, Soul-Suppressing Sound!
Among all kinds of magic in the cultivation world, the secret technique of the soul is definitely the rarest and most precious.
Ordinary cultivation forces, such as the Gong family, a secret family, are not qualified to possess it. Even if they obtain it by chance, it will only bring about the destruction of the family.
Only powerful Core Formation sects, or even Divine Profound forces, might possess one or more Divine Soul Secret Techniques as their sect's core skills, but even so, they would not easily pass them on.
This Soul-Suppressing Sound was comprehended from the bloodline talent of the Spirit Whisker Whale. Normally, human cultivators cannot learn it, but after the Life-Forging Lamp's Life-Forging and Spirit-Seizing effects, Chen Ye can easily master it.
Based on this alone, let alone fifty strands of spiritual energy, even five hundred or a thousand strands would be worth it!
Upon realizing this, Chen Ye immediately mobilized his spiritual power and poured it into the Life-Forging Lamp.
After fifty strands of spiritual energy, the wick that the demon core had transformed into was once again ignited by a small flame.
As the lights flickered, Chen Ye's consciousness once again drifted into a daze.
.........
I opened my eyes, and all I could see was darkness.
The icy seawater washed over his skin, sending a chill through him. Chen Ye had transformed into a calf that had just separated from its mother.
In the bottomless underwater canyon, he killed his prey and devoured its flesh and blood. The rich smell of blood filled his mouth, but Chen Ye, who had become a whale demon, felt no discomfort. On the contrary, he was extremely eager to devour more flesh and blood.
Faced with a formidable foe, Chen Ye fought valiantly, but due to his young age, he was no match for the enemy and fled in disarray.
After moving to a different body of water, Chen Ye lay dormant, continuing to hunt, devour, and grow. After countless years, he finally developed into a mature spirit whale.
He returned to the sea area he had fled from and encountered a formidable enemy once again. However, this time, Chen Ye had grown rapidly in both physique and combat experience over the past few decades.
The formidable enemy was a giant sea octopus, which also recognized Chen Ye, whom it had driven away years before.
After a fierce battle, Chen Ye was seriously injured, but he successfully drove the giant octopus away.
From then on, Chen Ye became the sole overlord of this sea area.
Many years later, Chen Ye surfaced to breathe, only to be discovered by a group of despicable human insects.
They used an unknown spell to control Chen Ye, preventing him from diving, and then fired crossbow bolts, leaving gruesome wounds on Chen Ye's back.
Pain spread throughout his body, and anger filled Chen Ye's mind. He wanted to exterminate these disgusting insects.
boom!!
With a deafening crash, Chen Ye slammed headfirst into a giant log floating on the sea, creating a wave that swept these despicable humans off the shore. Then, he raised his whale tail and smashed them all into minced meat!
However, these humans used bizarre methods; they used some unknown weapon to relentlessly attack Chen Ye's head.
at last!
Click!
Chen Ye felt a sharp pain in his head, and then his consciousness began to fade away.
He struggled and twisted, but he couldn't stop life from slipping away.
Am I finally going to die...?
"call!!"
Suddenly, darkness fell before his eyes, and Chen Ye abruptly opened them, gasping for breath.
"Is this at the bottom of the sea? No, this is on the Cangyun!"
Once he could clearly see the familiar surroundings, Chen Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The feeling of death he just experienced was terrifying. If he hadn't regained consciousness in time, Chen Ye would have thought he was really going to die.
"But the problem is, why didn't I have this almost realistic feeling when I was melting the clam pearl and that red-scaled shark?"
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Chen Ye frowned, but soon he figured out the reason.
Both the demon clam and the red-scaled shark are low-level demon beasts and do not possess much intelligence.
The Spirit Whisker Whale is different. Even ordinary whales have an intelligence level roughly equivalent to that of a seven- or eight-year-old human, while the intelligence of demonic beasts is even higher, probably no less than that of cultivators.
This is why Chen Ye's feelings during the forging of his destiny were so real, as if he had truly transformed into a whale demon.
To be honest, this feeling is not pleasant, especially when you think that you killed the spirit whale yourself. How is it any different from "me" killing "me"?
"It seems that while this Life-Forging Lamp can assist my cultivation, it also has significant drawbacks. I should be more cautious when choosing a demonic beast to forge my life in the future..."
Chen Ye regained his composure and pondered to himself.
If it's targeting a demon beast with weaker spiritual power than oneself, such as a demon clam or a red-scaled shark, there probably won't be any problems.
Conversely, if the spirit-spirited whale, with its significantly stronger spiritual power, is a demonic beast, then one must be cautious, lest one accidentally kill oneself!
