Cultivating with Symbiosis Panel-Chapter 621 - 353: The Name of the Whale, the Sea’s "Dowry

Chapter 621: Chapter 353: The Name of the Whale, the Sea’s "Dowry

It was willingly delivered to the doorstep, so naturally, there was no reason to refuse it.

Li Ye quickly set some marks on them through the Five Elements Spirit Control Technique, then chose one to start binding with the Burial Spirit Celestial Mother.

He chose the one that could transform into a member of the Human Race during the Foundation Establishment Stage, said to be a direct descendant of the Reverse Ancestor line, a Reverse Sky Whale who was just in his teens.

"So you are really only in your teens?"

Even Li Ye was slightly surprised after discovering this.

Generally speaking, the intelligence awakening and cultivation speed of the Spirit Race are much slower than that of the Human Race, which is considered a balance or limitation by the heavens and earth—after all, the life span of the Spirit Race is much longer than that of the Human Race.

"Yes." The young man named Kong Xiao nodded: "I am somewhat special. I had already awakened my intelligence while still in my mother’s womb, but..."

He paused at this point.

It was clear that it was not a pleasant memory.

"If it’s too difficult to talk about, then you don’t need to recall it."

Li Ye was only slightly curious and did not wish to dig any deeper.

However, Kong Xiao shook his head: "This matter is related to you, so it’s alright to tell you."

He followed behind Li Ye as he spoke: "My mother was actually a follower of the Hell Path, believing that all life she nurtured was a fateful entanglement parasitizing on her.

So she wanted to get rid of me."

What?

Li Ye paused in his steps.

Suspicion and surprise flashed across his face.

Logically speaking.

No.

Even if it doesn’t follow logic, maternal instinct is one of the most special instincts, and going against it must come with a certain unspeakable cost.

And this also has something to do with the Hell Path?

Why is it that even buried in the ground, it still lingers on like a ghost?

"And then?" Li Ye asked.

Kong Xiao’s expression remained calm.

He continued,

"Later, your power awakened the ancestor. When he awoke, he discovered my mother’s actions and saved me, sending me to a secret location within the clan to nurture me."

"If it weren’t for you, I might have been eliminated by my mother."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands toward Li Ye: "I have long wanted to work under your command, and now I finally have the opportunity to fulfill this wish.

It is indeed a joyous matter."

He seemed quite happy.

But Li Ye could sense the well-hidden melancholy in his heart—a parent’s love for their child, a child’s reliance on their parents, perhaps is the most carefree time.

Many people regard the beauty of childhood as an anchor for their entire lives, to warm themselves for a long lifespan, especially for cultivators.

In many historical texts, those Great Demons who committed numerous crimes often had unhappy childhoods, leading them to tread the path of demon and evil.

So sometimes, it’s said that understanding is not necessarily a good thing.

"You’ve really suffered."

"Your mother... where is she now?"

Li Ye patted his shoulder to show comfort.

Kong Xiao was taken aback: "Child harm is considered one of the most unforgivable crimes in our clan; she was taken away by the ancestor and is probably imprisoned in the Four Extremes Yang Prison of East Pole Yang Sea."

The Four Extremes Yang Prison.

That seems to fall under the jurisdiction of my master’s wife; if I want to get in, I just need to give a heads-up.

He thought for a moment then said:

"When things here are settled, if you wish, I can take you to see her.

Perhaps it was not her true intent, but the effect of some kind of Hell Path magic.

Perhaps it was her true intent."

"I know little about the matter, and cannot judge, so it’s entirely up to you."

This statement left Kong Xiao in a daze for a good while.

He had actually tried to apply for entry into the Four Extremes Yang Prison, but that place holds those guilty of the most heinous crimes, and for a small whale like him to enter, it was like a chicken entering a weasel’s den.

"Alright."

"But right now, it is more important to help you complete your matters."

His expression became noticeably more respectful.

"Mm." Li Ye glanced at Burial Spirit Celestial Mother, then proceeded to bind it to Kong Xiao.

The binding process went smoothly.

It cost 300,000 points of Vital Essence.

The moment the binding was completed.

Kong Xiao perceived something, looking at Li Ye with an expression of disbelief: "You..."

At this moment, he could feel a particularly close connection between himself and Burial Spirit Celestial Mother, who was holding a water ball in the distance; he could clearly sense the Spiritual Power of the latter.

The Spiritual Power transcended space and all obstacles, awakening certain powers within him, some that might have once existed but had been worn down by time until nearly hidden away.

Then.

Suddenly, a radiant Spiritual Power, like fragments of precious stones, began to overflow from his body. Once it overflowed, it flowed around.

They jumped joyfully and rhythmically.

Each leap sent out a deep, sonorous rhythm that resonated with the power of the ocean, forming oceanic currents leading everywhere, reflecting a splendid radiance under the sunlight.

Kong Xiao’s little brothers were all extremely excited, crashing their massive bodies into those currents, as the splashing water refracted an even more magnificent and sacred light.

They swam freely in the water currents, beginning to swim in all directions.

As they swam, the rhythms in the water created ripples, sending all collectible souls into the water ball held by Burial Spirit Celestial Mother, where thousands of water currents converged.

Not only souls spurted from Jie Yun’s embrace but also various souls hidden in the sea were found and sent into that water ball.
