The Golden Whale Sea Region produced a kind of demon beast known as the Golden Whale Beast. These beasts were enormous and adept at the Water Escape Technique. Once tamed, they could provide their owners with tremendous help, whether traveling or fighting. Many cultivators wanted to capture a Golden Whale Beast and tame it. Unrestrained hunting drastically reduced their numbers, and Golden Whale Beasts above the third order were now rarely seen.
The Seven Birds Sect recognized this opportunity and began breeding Golden Whale Beasts for sale. Golden Whale Beasts reproduced very slowly, and the Seven Birds Sect deliberately monopolized this trade. Wild Golden Whale Beasts had become a rare sight.
Golden Whale Island was a large island. Seen from the sky, it resembled a gigantic golden whale floating on the sea. Every hundred years, the Seven Birds Sect held a whale-hunting tournament, in which participants captured wild Golden Whale Beasts. The first-place winner received a lavish reward.
The whale-hunting tournament had already been held many times. In truth, there were no longer many wild Golden Whale Beasts left for cultivators to capture. The tournament gradually evolved into a festival, with large numbers of cultivators coming to Golden Whale Island from all over to trade or exchange cultivation insights.
During the whale-hunting tournament, the Seven Birds Sect dispatched large numbers of disciples to patrol and maintain order.
Wang Jing was a foundation establishment cultivator of the Seven Birds Sect. On this day, he was leading a patrol.
Suddenly, a long, drawn-out howl rang out, like the roar of some massive beast.
Wang Jing hurriedly took a pale golden hexagonal jade disk from his robes and formed a Hand Seal. A panicked woman's voice suddenly sounded. "Senior Brother Wang, this is bad! Heavenly Wind—powerful Heavenly Wind—is heading for Golden Whale Island.
