Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale

This was also the absolute limit of what Dao Xuan, as the master of this world, could achieve by activating this world's Spacetime Law.

After locking onto a certain area, he could accelerate time within that region!

Of course, this ability was immensely powerful, but it had its limitations. Many spiritual roots could not be enhanced merely through time acceleration, and the cost was enormous as well.

Therefore, Dao Xuan normally would not use this ability.

But now, in order to further perfect his world and propel its development, Dao Xuan used this ability for the first time.

In an instant, tens of millions of years passed.

Suddenly, the surface of the entire Eastern Sea began to churn like boiling water, bubbling and rolling with ever-increasing intensity.

In the end, the entire sea seemed to split apart from the middle.

The seawater flowed to both sides.

"Yoo—"

A long cry rang out from the depths of the sea.

Standing high in the sky and looking down, Dao Xuan saw an enormous womb-nest beneath the seabed of the Eastern Sea.

At that moment, a colossal beast was born from within the womb-nest.

This giant beast had evolved from Kunpeng's blood essence, but Dao Xuan naturally would not simply breed another Kunpeng.

Instead, he had redesigned it.

This colossal beast was unlike any living creature Dao Xuan had ever seen in the Primordial World.

It was the ruler of the seas from his memories of his previous life.

It was a whale. Of course, within Dao Xuan's Inner World, he called it the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale.

This whale's body stretched across countless tens of thousands of miles. As its massive back gradually rose from the depths and emerged above the sea, it resembled an enormous continent floating in the ocean.

Its entire body was a pale blue. If it remained motionless in the seawater, it appeared from afar to merge completely with the sea.

And that was indeed the case. The Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale could not only blend into seawater and merge its body with the vast ocean, concealing its tracks so thoroughly that even its aura could not be detected.

So long as the sea did not run dry, it could also use the seawater to rapidly heal injuries to its body.

It could be said that this great whale had been an oceanic overlord in Dao Xuan's previous life, and in this life, within his Inner World, it was still an oceanic overlord.

Yet all of that was merely some of the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale's abilities related to the Water Law.

Beyond that, when the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale controlled seawater and wielded the power of the ocean to attack its enemies, its might was even more terrifying.

Likewise, similar to Kunpeng, even after leaving the sea, the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale could still use the Wind Law and Space Law. If this great whale's comprehension proved sufficient to unite the three laws—wind, water, and space—then it would truly be free to roam the entire Inner World.

Of course, since it had been born in the sea and Dao Xuan had bestowed upon it innate abilities, its strength was at its greatest when it was within the ocean.

However, none of those were Dao Xuan's purpose in creating it. The reason Dao Xuan had created this Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale was for the sake of the Inner World.

Before it, Dao Xuan had already created the Yin-Yang Five-Element Spiritual Roots and the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc!

With the addition of this Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale, the entire Inner World could form an immensely vast complementary system.

First, the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale could complete the dynamic Water Law of the Inner World's oceans.

After all, if he relied solely on the Ren-Water Immortal Peach Tree and the Kui-Water Moon Laurel Tree, the Water Law they provided was merely static.

But the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale was a living creature. As it swam through the sea, it could drive ocean currents, tides, storms, and tidal waves, ensuring that the four seas of the Inner World would no longer be stagnant water. Instead, tides would rise and fall, while the great currents intertwined and circulated.

One could imagine just how immense the impact would be!

Moreover, this did not apply only to the sea. The Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale also participated in the atmospheric circulation of the Inner World.

Whenever it surfaced to breathe, the column of water it spouted would stir sea winds and connect the currents of heaven and earth, forming a complete atmospheric circulation. Water vapor would rise and become clouds, the clouds would fall as rain, and the rain would flow back into the sea.

How could that merely be atmospheric circulation? The ocean, land, and sky had all been linked together.

The water vapor of heaven and earth circulated, forming a complete closed loop.

But that was not all. Dao Xuan's creation of the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale, as well as his earlier alteration of the Roc's foundation to turn it into the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc, served an even greater purpose: Dao Xuan wanted this world to begin breeding living beings.

Thus, if the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale was the oceanic overlord chosen by Dao Xuan, then the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc was the sky's overlord he had chosen.

One governed the vast seas, ocean currents, and atmosphere, presiding over the oceans and space. The other governed the sun, moon, and firmament, the circulation of Yin and Yang, presiding over the sky and the Yin-Yang Law.

As long as they continued to move about within the Inner World, the Dao rhythms they scattered could nurture all manner of living beings throughout every corner of it.

Planting the Yin-Yang Five-Element Spiritual Roots was Dao Xuan's way of laying the foundation for a Greater Thousand World. But a qualified Greater Thousand World could not contain only spiritual roots; it also needed living beings to multiply.

Therefore, the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc and the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale had truly not been created casually by Dao Xuan. Each bore its own mission.

"Yoo..."

Suddenly, the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale let out another cry, its voice filled with joy.

And—

A trace of childlike affection for Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan could not help but smile. He waved at the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale, and the giant whale immediately burst from the sea, riding the wind toward him.

The closer it came to Dao Xuan, the smaller its enormous body became. By the time it reached him, it was only the size of a puppy.

However, the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale's body had not actually shrunk. Dao Xuan was controlling spacetime, causing the spacetime around him to contract.

Dao Xuan reached out and stroked the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale's head. Like a child, it narrowed its eyes in enjoyment.

In truth, the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale was indeed practically Dao Xuan's child, even though the blood essence used in its birth had come from Kunpeng.

But what did mere bloodline matter? Besides, Dao Xuan had long since altered Kunpeng's blood essence.

Using Kunpeng's blood essence to hatch the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale had merely been a catalyst.

At this moment, upon witnessing the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale's birth, the Four Directions Divine Beasts all sent divine thoughts to communicate with it.

Among the Four Directions Divine Beasts, Black Tortoise's original authority had been partially taken by the birth of the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale. But first, Black Tortoise was not fond of fighting by nature. Second, his most fundamental authority was that of the Four Celestial Spirits, something no living being could ever seize, regardless of how it was born.

Furthermore, the birth of the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale would contribute so greatly to the development of the Inner World. Once the Inner World grew stronger in the future, Black Tortoise would benefit even more no matter how one looked at it.

Thus, Black Tortoise had even less reason to contend with the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale. The same would hold true for the future birth of the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc.

Originally, Dao Xuan had considered using time acceleration to hasten the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc's birth as well.

But the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc was too closely connected to the Sun-Moon Twin Stars, the entire starry sky, and the Yin-Yang Law.

Move one strand, and the whole body was affected. The price of hastening the Sun-Moon Celestial Roc's birth was far greater than that of the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale.

Especially after Dao Xuan hastened the Azure Abyssal Mysterious Whale's birth, he discovered that accelerating time by tens of millions of years in an instant had truly consumed a great deal of World Origin.

Dao Xuan's heart ached. To conserve World Origin, for the time being, he could only let the Roc slowly gestate on its own.

Like the Roc, accelerating the growth of those Innate Spiritual Roots would also consume astronomical amounts of World Origin. Following the principle of saving wherever possible, Dao Xuan did his utmost to restrain himself from using it.
