As the night fell on the lands, the mountain peak finally quieted down, Demonic Beast corpses filling the mountainside.
"Fuu~ it's finally done..."
Hua Ziyan breathed out a sigh of relief as beads of sweat were slowly going down the sides of her face.
"You did great"
Wu Long smiled, taking out a napkin and wiping down her sweat, as she smiled at him, her rosy from working hard cheeks becoming rosier for another reason altogether.
"You all did great"
He then turned his gaze to the ladies who were even more exhausted as they were lower than her in cultivation among other factors.
"Then... shall we return?"
"Almost... there's just one more thing to do"
Wu Long chuckled, as they raised their eyes to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe sat down in a lotus position on a relatively flat rock without answering, facing outward from the mountain.
"The Great Celestial Whale World Devouring Technique"
A profound light flashed in his eyes while the massive formation circle above glowed, the armor it previously gave the fairies of the Frozen Garden Palace and Hua Ziyan fading away and eventually disappearing while a beam of light fell on Wu Long.
A black sphere only three centimeters wide started appearing above his head, and then they gasped as they could perceive massive streams of this Secret Realm's incredibly rich Spiritual Qi starting to form and rush toward their location in the distant skies, eventually crushing into the black sphere that grew in size to about a meter in diameter.
They involuntarily faltered, taking a step back and closing their eyes as such a concentration of Spiritual Qi colliding would have caused a destructive wave that would wipe the whole mountainous region out leaving only an empty plain.
But as they felt no impact, they slowly half-opened their eyes and then widened them as the sphere was akin to a bottomless pit, the massive currents of Spiritual Qi entering it disappearing without a trace no matter how much of it there was.
The Great Celestial Whale was a Mythical Beast race much like the Great Void Eagle, and was one of the limited number of known beings which could traverse the Great Void between worlds, though in their case they could not fit their real bodies on the surface of any world, making the Great Void their habitat instead.
They were also the distant ancestors of the Silver Tail Whales, though their relation was far closer than the Azure Eagles' relation to the Great Void Eagle, and no one doubted it like with the latter.
Much like the Silver Tale Whales, they required massive amounts of Spiritual Qi to cultivate, only in their case they could devour an entire world's worth of Spiritual Qi.
Wu Long never thought he would actually require using this technique, only researching it for the sake of expanding his knowledge, but it was perfect for his current circumstances.
He was not refining this Spiritual Qi, only absorbing and storing it with another technique of the Greaat Celestial Whale.
With this, Hua Ziyan finally understood what he meant that his being here was already fulfilling his purpose. He already revealed that his target was this rich and abundant Spiritual Qi in the first place, and any benefits they accrued in this Secret Realm were only secondary. But even if she understood, she could never have thought that he wanted all of it.
Three hours later, the ladies watched the world around which lost sof it's vibrance and colors which was visible even in the pale light of the moon. A world almost bare of Spiritual Qi, a feeling of death and emptiness filling it.
Even the formation above their heads was bleak, on the verge of disappearing, no longer sending the beam of light toward Wu Long.
"This..."
Xue Bing could not find words to react... as her eyes looked at the man who in a way devoured this entire Secret Realm.
"The Great Celestial Whale World Birthing Seed Technique"
Wu Long, meanwhile changed his hand seals, and his Spiritual Qi moved in profound flow, forming patterns and streaming toward the black orb, eventually a bright white light shining from within it as a small bean-size seen of pure white appeared from within, giving off formless waves of translucent white light.
The seed flew out from him, and then shot down toward the ground, concentric waves of white light coming out from where it sank into the mountainside and travelling far beyond the horizon.
They could soon feel a profound change as the Spiritual Lands of this Secret Realm in the far distances began releasing large amounts of Spiritual Qi while the world around began brimming with life seemingly even more than before.
The black orb meanwhile shrank back to its size of three centimeters and approaching Wu Long's chest sank inside him.
"Suu~ haa~..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe took a deep breath, a tranquil expression reappearing on his face from a concentrated one he made before.
"Well, shall we go?"
Standing up and turning, he patted his clothes of any dirt and made a lighthearted innocent smile toward the ladies watching him with round eyes.
"Wh-what was that at the end?"Hua Ziyan asked in a light daze, as even she had no choice but to be bewildered at what he just did.
"Hmm? Oh, the technique I used is something a Mythical Beast known as the Great Celestial Whale is using to cultivate, but unlike it's distant descendant species which technique I used when I was replenishing my Spiritual Qi reserves, it returns part of the Spiritual Qi it absorbs, changing it in a way that rejuvenates the world it feasted on, so it is much faster to return to normal after it leaves, thus perpetuating the cycle and restoring balance.
It is only a tenth of all Spiritual Qi absorbed, which is a small price to pay for the effect as this Secret Realm will be in top shape a hundred times sooner than it would have otherwise, maybe even faster.
I didn't care about not harming the source of any cultivation resource only to then kill it all off with this technique after all"
Wu Long chuckled at the end, giving the ladies a bright smile they could not take their eyes off.
---
The group emerged from the crevasse just as a search party organized for their whereabouts was about to head in, since it has been hours since the beasts stopped pouring from the mountain.
Wu Long could see Palace Master Qiu and roughly half of the Frozen Garden Palace members, as well as the Brilliant Sun Temple's delegation standing with the line of defense against the beast tide while another half of the Frozen Garden Palace stood with the Cloud Piercing Sect and Profound Martial Arts Valley in a standoff on the other side, the guests of each side joining them.
The only ones standing to the side were the Profound Music Palace and any Sects they invited over from the Wood Spirit Continent.
"Oh my, everyone has already assembled, how polite of you all to wait for us"
Wu Long chuckled as the Core Disciples behind him giggled while Xue Bing shook her head and Hua Ziyan made a wry smile, as his tone was of a high society party host who cout into the venue to find out to his surprise that all of his guests have already arrived.
