Chapter 1715: Dragon Whale Saint

There's no need to rush Yama into killing anyone.Unbeknownst to Qin Sang, as this thought flashed through his mind and he prepared to slowl...After residing in the cave for several days, he remained as before, going in and out of places like Ganyun Zen Temple's scripture pavilion. He eagerly devoured every volume, seeking enlightenment.

Some classics may appear unrelated to cultivation, but they contain profound truths. Only those who have attained a high level of understanding can grasp their true meaning.
Even high-ranking cultivators have to go through this process.
>
Legend has it that some exceptionally talented individuals, without even venturing out to travel or relying on any treasures, could attain enlightenment in a single day.
Although he assumes the identity of Qingfeng Daochang, a relatively new cultivator, it's unusual not to seize this opportunity offered by Ganlu Zen Temple.
Including the holy monk of Ganlu Zen Temple, no one doubted the intention of the incarnation, and no one could have imagined that Qin Sang's true self had already broken through the Nascent Soul stage!
He wished to find similar esoteric techniques for physical cultivation in the Sutra Pavilion, like the "Seven Masters Buddha Impression." He also wanted to investigate the origin of the Jade Buddha. The Gamarnlu Zen Temple was the leading Buddhist institution in this world; if it didn't hold the answers, he might have to go to the Upper Realm to uncover the mysteries of the Jade Buddha.

Unfortunately, after searching through all the Buddhist scriptures collected by Ganlu Chan Temple, I couldn't find any Buddha or Bodhisattva that could correspond with the Jade Buddha.
Of course, the more important purpose of this trip is to investigate the movements of the Holy Light Avatar.

There's no valid reason to visit Mount Xiao Fangcun and see the venerable Master Huiguang for now. So, I started by taking on a different form and actively sought out other high monks, engaging in casual conversation, exchanging insights, and discussing various topics while seated together.
Through careful probing and information gathered from various sources.
Incarnation confirmation, the last appearance of Saint Huiguang was seventy years ago.
Seventy years ago, the Three Teachings Alliance was newly established and a grand celebration was held. Saint Huiguang manifested his presence, Saint Qinghu Fox King attended the ceremony, and their attire impressed all factions of the Three Teachings.
After that, he vanished without a trace.
It is said that Ganlu Chanlin Temple voluntarily relinquished benefits in the alliance. Even Baxingguan and Tianhao Lou, who had previously been at odds with each other, could now work together harmoniously. Those who wished to sow discord found it impossible to intervene.
During this period, some people went missing under mysterious circumstances.

Other factions either tacitly accepted or joined in, so there was naturally no need for the Hualing to appear.
After understanding the rules of the Three Sects Alliance, the avatar can be certain.
Under the current circumstances where cultivators who have achieved the Nascent Soul stage can no longer leave this world, unless a certain sect undergoes a rapid decline or a rift emerges between the three major sects, leading to irreconcilable conflicts that force them to tear up their alliance, it would be difficult for the cultivation world to descend into chaos.
After that, the Ganlu Chan Monastery didn't seem to make any special moves, just like the work of a saint like Huiguang.
"Could they be so impatient, having already crossed the sea and returned to oblivion"
As the avatar pondered what reason to give when meeting the sage Hui Guang, in order to confirm this matter.
To everyone's surprise, the first news came from the East Sea.
The East Sea demon clan is in chaos!
In Zhongzhou, human cultivators are mostly concentrated on land, while the power in the East Sea is relatively weak. This is still due to a tacit understanding between the two races, as demon clans rarely encroach on borders. This is the result of many years of recuperation and growth.
Legend has it that when humanity declined, the East China Sea, North Sea, and South China Sea were all territories of demon tribes. Demon beasts roamed along the seashore, with monster waves frequently surging towards land, preying on humans. No one dared to go out to sea.
To this day, the seas controlled by humanity are a negligible portion. Roughly divided according to the distribution of islands, they are classified into three regions.
The outermost layer is undoubtedly the most dangerous. It's close to the demon territory, but it's also the easiest place to encounter demon beasts. Even cultivators who pride themselves on their strength come here to hunt demons, and the same goes for the other side.
>
No one knows for sure whether they are the hunter or the hunted, which is why this place is called the Two Tribes Hunting Ground.
To the east of Beihhuang, across a boundless sea, a solitary figure soared through the clouds above the water. It flew at an unhurried pace, making no attempt to conceal itself.
This is akin to courting death.
This is already within the hunting ground's range. Every demon hunter here is either cautious and discreet, or they gather companions and conceal themselves. There isn't anyone as arrogant as this fellow.
If a group of demons were to appear, this person would surely meet a gruesome end.
>
Strangely, even as this person entered the depths of the hunting ground, not a single monster attacked him.
In the hunting ground.
Two figures flew out of an unnamed small island.
Both of them were Yuan Ying ancestors, yet they faced the west, standing in the void with solemn expressions, seemingly welcoming some important figure. They waited for a long time without any impatience.
Finally, a figure appeared in the west. The two men beamed with joy and rushed forward. “Greetings, Master!”
The visitor is Qin Sang himself.
Upon returning to the island, Qin Sang inquired about the affairs of the East Sea demon clan. The two replied: "My Lord, we have followed your orders and infiltrated the demon clan many times, secretly helping Long Yi and Long Er clear obstacles and establish a foothold in the East Sea. Long Yi and Long San even managed to infiltrate under the command of a demon king. The demon clan is in turmoil, as expected..."
Long Yi and Long Er are the names Qin Sang gave to several earthbound dragons.
Let the Moon Guard report in detail.
>
Qin Sang pondered silently.
According to the reports from dragons like Long Yi, the two sides in the rebellion are the Sacred King's Palace and a faction of powerful demon clans led by the great saint Dragon Whale. The fact that Dragon Whale still refers to himself as a great saint means he has not yet achieved the Nascent Soul stage. These demon clans, lacking a Nascent Soul expert to lead them, dare to challenge the Sacred King's Palace!
What's even more strange is that since the Dragon Whale Saint rose up, not only has he not been suppressed by the Qinghu Sacred King, but the Sacred Palace's sphere of influence is gradually shrinking.
Qin Sang remembered that the Qinghu Saint King had once said he didn't care about the lives of his confidants, but to bear this in silence was rather strange.
Deep in the East Sea.
The sky and sea are the same color.
>
On the vast, azure sea, a white line suddenly appeared in the north, surging and crashing forward at an astonishing speed, possessing the power to shatter mountains.
Upon closer inspection, one realizes that the white line is actually a towering wave reaching thousands of feet high.
>
Between the water waves, shadowy figures flickered in and out of sight, undulating beneath the surface. Even though their full forms were obscured, just from the exposed ridge of their backs, one could tell how immense their bodies were.
The dorsal fin is long and fish-like in shape.
In fact, this is a head-on dragon whale, infamous in the East China Sea.
It is rumored that the Dragon Whales have a ferocious temperament. Their roars can be heard for miles, and all monsters flee in their wake. But at this moment, the group of whales are moving, yet there is no roar to be heard. They are gliding silently through the water, only the crashing waves are deafening.
Behind the pod of whales, a massive black shape followed closely.
Shadows loomed on all sides, shrouded in a layer of black cloth. Black ropes extended from them, tied to the tails of the whales, pulling them forward.
The black cloth was soft, as if it were woven from some peculiar spirit water.
As it sped forward, black cloth billowed in the wind, concealing everything within its grasp. Not a hint of energy could escape.
At the front of the whale pod, a powerfully built man sat atop the leading dragon whale.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The mighty man had a broad nose and wide mouth, sitting astride the back of a dragon whale. He was as cold and stern as a mountain, possessing such strength that any word describing power could be used to describe him.
He was closing his eyes for a nap.
Suddenly, the strongman seemed to sense something. He abruptly opened his giant copper-bell like eyes, his gaze splitting the void like two lightning bolts, and for a moment, the sunlight on the sea dimmed.
>
In the gaze of the strongman, mist rose faintly on the surface of the sea.
Compared to the imposing and powerful waves, this wisp of mist seemed so feeble and insignificant.
>
The strong man's pupils constricted like needles.
The next moment, the mist shimmered with light and shadow, a phantom flickering in and out of sight.
The moment the phantom appeared, the burly man suddenly leaped into the air, raising his arms and letting out a long, earth-shaking roar. His whale-like cry drowned out the sound of the waves, but it lacked the ethereal brightness; instead, it was sharp and filled with malice.
Listen to the sound of howling.
The whales' forms abruptly halted, their forward momentum ceasing as if struck by an unseen force.
'Boom!'
A thousand-zhang giant wave crashed down.
Immediately following, a series of sharp growls soared into the sky along with jets of water.
The whales scattered and then quickly formed a circle, leaving a large open space in the middle for the strong man, who was surrounded by them.
At the same time, a pod of whales pushed together with all their might. The huge black shadow behind them rose high, steadily settling above the forest of water columns and hanging in mid-air.
The figures in the thin mist seemed unable to see the array of whales poised and ready, motionless, gradually revealing their outlines in the mist.
This person sat cross-legged, with a black fire lotus beneath them.
The lotus bloomed, gently rising from the sea surface. Compared to any dragon whale, it was unusually slender, yet it dared to stand before the throng of whales.

The whales stopped as if facing a great enemy!
His features were still unclear, and he seemed to be wearing a blue Taoist robe. His long hair trailed behind him.

Although there was clearly a person standing right there, the moment those dragon whales closed their eyes, they could sense nothing unusual. It was as if that person had become one with heaven and earth.
The strong man stared intently at the thin mist, roared with all his might, and his bones creaked as he swelled in size.
In an instant, a mountain-like black shadow appeared on the sea surface. It was a dragon whale, but its aura and size were far superior to any other dragon whales. It was like mountains and hills in comparison.
The mighty man was none other than the first great sage of the East China Sea—the Great Sage, Longjing!
He refused to submit to the Sacred King's Palace and personally led his troops into battle. Unexpectedly, he encountered a mysterious person.
'Wow!'
The Dragon Whale Saint manifested his true form. With a flick of his whale tail, giant waves rose. His massive mouth gaped open, and with a furious roar, he bellowed, "You Taoist, state your name! This king has no grievances with you, so why do you obstruct my path!"
The other party does not respond.
Only a thin mist is floating.
The outline gradually became clear.
Long Whale Saint's gaze was drawn to the black lotus beneath the phantom. His giant eye suddenly contracted, and his whale tail slammed against the sea surface. The whales received the command and roared in unison.
Only seeing their bodies tense, pulling hard on the long rope at their tails.
A dark shadow flickered in the air, and with a whoosh, the black cloth was flung open. Inside lay an iron cage, and within its depths lay a bloody skeleton sprawled horizontally.
The skeleton had been stripped of its flesh, yet it was still crimson and dripping with blood, having been steeped in it for years.
The skeleton was complete, with a long, pointed skull. Blood had congealed in the eye sockets, making it even more eerie. Judging by the outline, this was most likely the skeleton of another dragon whale.
'Swoosh...'
The rope was taut, the iron cage swaying.
As the black cloth was lifted, a wave of blood surged through the air, and a terrifyingly vicious aura filled the space. It was as if a ferocious beast was about to awaken, sending chills down one's spine.
This breath was connected to the whale pod and the Dragon Whale Saint, emanating an astonishing pressure from the whale pod, pointing towards the front.
>
Until the Dragon Whale Great Saint summoned its skeleton.
The person in the mist seemed to have piqued their interest, slightly raising their head to examine the skeleton in the iron cage, and letting out a light chuckle: “Is this your reliance”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The nonchalant tone enraged the Dragon Whale Saint, who shouted angrily, "You dare to be arrogant! You Daoist managed to become a Divine Being by chance, yet you don't strive for ascension. You come to the East China Sea to cause havoc and destruction, unaware of the danger Don't you fear being trapped here forever, your thousand years of cultivation wasted!" "My ninety-nine sons are all here! Once I order them to reverse their qi and blood, exploding their bodies to awaken the Chaotic Mad Whale, you will be grievously injured, your path to ascension severed…"
The other party, confident in their cultivation, made no attempt to conceal themselves.
Longjing Da Sheng has confirmed that the opponent is a human cultivator who has ascended to the immortal realm.
His threat was exaggerated, but not entirely empty. He dared to challenge the Saint King's Palace, so Dragon Whale Great Saint naturally had his own backing.
The iron cage could open at any moment, a sanguine energy flowing constantly within the bones. With each revolution, the blood color within the skeleton deepened by a fraction.
In addition, he has been secretly communicating with his allies.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The alliance isn't too far from here.
Although they suspected the Qinghu Saint King had already crossed the East Sea to ascend, out of caution, after the uprising, every time they left the cave dwelling, they would have their sons and servants accompany them.
When the sound of drinking came out, Dragon Whale Great Saint also saw the figure in the mist, his expression suddenly froze, and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's you"
"Do you know me"
Qin Sang appeared in the thin mist, his true form revealed as he looked at the Dragon Whale Saint.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Long Jing Dasheng's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "The famous Fire Demon, how could this king not know you"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Battle of the Wuxiang Immortal Gate, where Huo Mo wielded fire magic to resist the demon Saint King, and a single Firebird exterminated the Saint King's phantom form, became a tale widely circulated among humans and even reached the ears of the Eastern Sea Demon Clan.
Long Whale Saint is known for his rebellious nature and keeps a close eye on the movements of Qinghu Saint King. Naturally, he would have to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Upon learning that the Azure Fox Holy King had attracted such a powerful enemy, the Dragon Whale Great Saint gloated and even considered contacting Qin Sang to jointly resist the Holy King.
Alas, Qin Sang remained withdrawn in Luye, not venturing out.
Longjing the Great Saint also couldn't spare too much energy, so he temporarily put it aside.
Never would I have expected that, after over a hundred years, this person would reappear, no longer one of us!
>
It is rumored that although this person displayed strong abilities at the Wuxiang Xianmen, his strength likely comes from divine artifacts and his cultivation may have only recently broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Longjing Da Sheng pondered, thinking about himself. He had already spent more than a thousand years trapped by the bottleneck of his transformation into a god, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.
>
"I never expected, fellow cultivator, that you would achieve the position of True Monarch in such a short time. This King must also offer my admiration!"
Upon confirming Qin Sang's identity, the Dragon Whale Saint's tone softened considerably.
Since this person is a fire demon, it's impossible for them to form an alliance with the Azure Fox Saint King.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
At first, the Fire Demon almost fell at the hands of the Fox demon. He didn't believe the Fire Demon could swallow his anger in silence.
To endure all hardships and finally achieve the state of divine transformation, yet not seek revenge
If we can win this person over, great things will be accomplished!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang keenly perceived the change in Longjing Da Sheng's tone and also smiled, "It seems that Great Saint has already guessed the poor monk's intention."
The Dragon Whale Saint transformed back into human form, gave Qin Sang a deep look, his throat bobbing, and let out a low growl that seemed to carry no meaning.
A school of whales surged behind, a ravenous pack of tigers attacking the outer perimeter of the swordfish squad. In an instant, the sea turned into a crimson pool, leaving only the dragon whale.
Longjing Great Saint said coldly, "True Monarch should not want to leak your whereabouts for now, right My sons can be trusted."
This is a test string.
The Unknown Demon Island.
>
The Dragon Whale Sage sat upon a high chair.
Beside him sat two demon kings, both allies who had joined the uprising.
The minions of the Dragon Whale Great Saint are arguing fiercely due to a single remark made by one of its generals.
“It’s not certain yet whether the Nine-Tailed Fox has truly ascended. Is it not forcing the Saint King’s Palace and us to fight now, forcing her to be desperate”
"Excellent! We follow the Great Sage because that cunning fox spirit was too domineering, monopolizing several sacred lands. Now that the Sacred King's Palace army is retreating steadily and the sacred lands are within reach, why create unnecessary trouble"
Long Jing Da Sheng quietly watched the demons argue.it pierced through the void and slashed across Fatty Chicken's chest. It was about to pierce straight through and kill him.The blue fox didn't even look at the result, swished its tail, and turned to...
