Chapter 2794 The Evolved Floating Island Whale!
The Moon Empress had joined Sky City ten years ago.
Most of Sky City's members were natives of the Radiance Federation.
Twenty years ago, the Moon Empress was one of only three Class 5 Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation. She was also a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty.
She was like a goddess to the members of Sky City.
The Moon Empress was a figure that stood even above the summit, protecting the entire Radiance Federation.
More importantly, she was Lin Yuan's Master. Even Lin Yuan, the City Lord of Sky City, was highly respectful toward her.
Wen Yu's influence in Sky City could surpass that of the Moon Empress because she indeed possessed outstanding capabilities and kept Sky City in perfect order. Furthermore, the Moon Empress had intentionally lowered her position and allowed Wen Yu and Liu Jie to take center stage.
Wen Yu's position in Sky City was always built on her abilities.
However, in terms of abilities, the Moon Empress were much stronger than those of Wen Yu.
The Moon Empress managed the Radiance Federation on behalf of the Spacetime Elder and had held up the Radiance Federation during its darkest hour.
In spite of the immense pressure, the Moon Empress managed the Radiance Federation perfectly.
Before the pressure was lifted, Lin Yuan entrusted the Moon Empress with the job of protecting the main world's other federations.
Lin Yuan always liked to manage from the backseat. He would only step in to expend his effort to solve the real challenges.
However, Lin Yuan only managed the big picture and never focused on the trivial kinks.
The Moon Empress handled all the subsequent details in Lin Yuan's stead.
If Wen Yu were in the Moon Empress' position, she would not even have been able to shoulder the pressure of managing the Radiance Federation, much less the entire main world!
This was why Mystic Moon continued to teach Wen Yu various things even now.
After all, Wen Yu was still a young person who was around Lin Yuan's age.
Unlike Lin Yuan, Wen Yu had not lived two lives.
But in terms of perspective, Wen Yu had grown just as much as Lin Yuan had.
Liu Jie had never been able to compete with Wen Yu when it came to maturity.
The Moon Empress handled the rear and helped Wen Yu to address the issues she did not have the energy to see to.
The addition of Moon Empress allowed Sky City's speed of management to multiply.
Mystic Moon and Cold Moon were the Moon Empress' two Moon Envoys.
The Moon Empress would be going with Lin Yuan to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and it went without saying that Cold Moon and Mystic Moon would be going as well.
Liu Jie and Wen Yu had taken up the posts of one mainly handling the external while the other handled the internal.
Wen Yu was Sky City's manager, while Liu Jie was akin to Sky City's general.
In the Radiant Moon Palace, Cold Moon was the one who handled the external, and there were many things that she could teach Liu Jie.
Although Liu Jie was Night Leaning Moon's disciple, she did not hold back anything from Liu Jie.
Night Leaning Moon had only been teaching Liu Jie how to increase his power. But once Liu Jie's power reached the Divine Kingdom level, there was no longer much that Night Leaning Moon could teach him.
…
Night Leaning Moon was now fully focused on protecting the Radiance Federation.
The Spirit Guards had been expanded as Night Leaning Moon had recruited numerous members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
Night Leaning Moon had always seen the dimensional lifeforms as opportunities and disasters for humans. The two could coexist in the main world without any issues.
While the humans utilized the dimensional lifeforms, they also needed to stay on guard against the dimensional lifeforms to prevent them from causing damage to the main world.
Although the dead spirits crisis had passed, there were still numerous lifeforms in the main world that had mutated after being infected.
These feys that had been infected by death aura were extremely contagious, and the Spirit Guards needed to search for and eliminate all of them. Otherwise, they would attack the adventurers in the world. They might even infect other feys and cause them to go insane.
In the past few years, the outskirt towns of the Radiance Federation had suffered attacks from fey waves.
If Night Leaning Moon had not made advance preparations and stationed the Spirit Guards to guard the towns, these small towns would have been devoured soon after the dead spirits crisis ended.
Ever since the dead spirits crisis disappeared, Night Leaning Moon had not focused on Liu Jie.
All of the Radiance Federation's royalty were aware of the Sky Beyond the Clouds' existence.
Night Leaning Moon had felt extremely sorrowful when she learned that the Moon Empress was about to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Night Leaning Moon and the Moon Empress had grown up together. They became acquainted when they were young, accompanied each other, grew up together, and until now, walked down their paths together.
However, Night Leaning Moon did not choose to go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
The Moon Empress would head there to protect the Radiance Federation.
Night Leaning Moon was well aware of the strength of her abilities. She had never been able to measure up to the Moon Empress.
Even if the Moon Empress did not rely on her power in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, she would utilize her intelligence.
There was no reason for her to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and become a burden to juniors like Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu.
Her abilities might not be sufficient for the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but she could play her role in the main world as a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty. She could protect the Radiance Federation or even the entire main world!
…
Since Night Leaning Moon was not focused on Liu Jie, Cold Moon began telling Liu Jie about her experiences in the spare time she had when she was not teaching Chu Ci. She mainly concentrated on telling him how to command his subordinates and issue directives.
As a superior, issuing directives was an art. Once a superior made an error, there was a high chance they would immediately lose all their formidability.
Liu Jie had grown extremely quickly in the past ten years. Lin Yuan was very glad to watch Liu Jie grow.
…
In the past ten years, there was no doubt that the busiest member of Sky City was Hu Quan.
Hu Quan had been developing the Spirit Lock spatial zone and building Sky City on Sky Sea's back.
Due to Morbius' grade evolution, the Spirit Lock spatial zone had enlarged again.
In the past ten years, Hu Quan had finished constructing the space that used to be half the size of the Xia Region.
The frame of the structure on Sky Sea had been announced to be completed a year ago.
The majestic city on Sky Sea's back would become the base camp that accompanied Lin Yuan in exploring the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
After spending the past few years in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Sky Sea had also evolved.
Lin Yuan had not intentionally helped Sky Sea to increase its power in the past ten years.
By just absorbing the spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Sky Sea had evolved from Suzerain/Myth to Suzerain/Pinnacle Creation.
For an enormous creature like Sky Sea, this rate of evolution was fast enough.
However, this was far from being enough to meet Lin Yuan's needs.
Sky Sea had to reach World Emperor/Divine Kingdom before Lin Yuan went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Lin Yuan would need to use his resources to enable Sky Sea's power to continue evolving there.
Otherwise, Sky Sea's existence would become Sky City's weakness. Not only would it be incapable of protecting Sky City, but it would become a weak point when enemies were attacking Sky City.
Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and immediately saw Sky Sea floating in the sky.
Sky Sea sensed Lin Yuan's presence and quickly reached the sky above Lin Yuan with a flap of its enormous wing.
Lin Yuan looked up, and he had to admit that the sight of the majestic Sky Sea was breathtaking!
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Sky Sea.
[Fey Name]: Floating Island Whale
[Fey Species]: Large-winged-whale-species/
island-whale-species.
[Fey Grade]: Sovereign (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Water/Wind
[Fey Quality]: Creation IX
Abilities:
[Whale Blood Screen]: Set fire to the essence blood inside its body and form a screen that can protect everything on its back.
[Water Vapor Whale Feelers]: Transform its feelers into water vapor and use them to gather nutrients from the environment to recover itself.
[Whale Spout Empowerment]: Through the blowhole in its head, it can shoot out energy from its energy and supply it to entities with compatible bodies to replenish their energy or fix them up in other ways.
[Lashing Spirit Tail Wings]: After being nourished by pure spirit qi, the wings and tail will be covered with a skin that can filter out spirit qi. With every movement of the wings and tail, the spirit qi can be directed to its back to increase the concentration of spirit qi on its back.
[Flesh Solidification]: An additional mouth that is connected to the additional stomach will grow below the blowhole. The metal and rocks that enter the additional stomach will strengthen the flesh during the contraction and expansion of the additional stomach. The solidified flesh will not affect the growth of the whale's bones.
[Whale's Breath]: Gather energy that is compatible with its body and shoot it out at a target. Before the target escapes the breath's lock, the breath will lock and track the target.
[Floating Whale Sinks]: When the things and lifeforms on the whale's back are dying, a mournful cry of grief will be released. The sky will be like the ocean, and its body and soul will be the price paid to protect all the beings on its back.
[Sinking Whale Becomes Life]: When Floating Whale Sinks is used, its bloodline will combine with the whale bones. While the whale bones are being upgraded, they will produce a fetus, and the fetus will take on its current bloodline.
Exclusive Skill:
[Floating Island Secret Realm]: By swallowing wind-elemental energy, a special space will be opened within the whale's abdomen. The higher the purity of the wind-elemental energy, the larger the space will be. However, the space will not exceed twice the size of the body. By swallowing water-elemental energy, the flesh will gain powerful fusion abilities that will enable the fats to stick to any lifeform, dead or alive, and drain nutrients from them. The purer the water-elemental energy, the stronger the fusion ability will be.
[Knotted Life Cohabitation]: Pick a lifeform on its back to fuse and share its life with. Before its life comes to an end, the target will not die. Before the target dies, it will be able to continue living even if it sustains a serious injury.
[Accommodating Territory Transformative Environment]: A territory can be subsumed into its body, and the body will become a part of this territory. The entities on its body can also be placed anywhere on this territory. The root power of the surroundings can be used to nourish the body and allow the body to be acknowledged by the environment.
[Sea Sky Stance]: As the ruler of the sea and sky, it will be able to change the stance of the sky and sea. It will use the stance to defend against enemies. When energy is absorbed from the sky and sea, it will be able to continuously recover its injuries (Anything joined to it will also suffer the same damage).
After Sky Sea evolved, it obtained new abilities and exclusive skills.
Lin Yuan was very surprised by Sky Sea's newest ability, Sinking Whale Becomes Life. It came from Floating Whale Sinks and was a self-preservation ability.
To Lin Yuan, Floating Whale Sinks was an ability he would not use unless he did not have any other choice.
Floating Whale Sinks involved Sky Sea singing a woeful song when the lifeforms and entities on its back died. It would view the sky as the deep sea and give up its life to revive the entities and lifeforms.
It was an ability akin to saving the world. One would revive one's protected target regardless of the cost, even if it meant death.
But with Sinking Whale Becomes Life, playing the hero would not result in a tragic sacrifice. Instead, there was the chance to continue the legacy of one's bloodline.
However, if Sky Sea used its soul as the price to sing its woeful song, the only result would be death, even if its bloodline was extended by Sinking Whale Becomes Life.
Furthermore, Sky Sea's fetus that Lin Yuan nurtured would not be Sky Sea but a completely new Floating Island Whale!
Sky Sea's ability caused Lin Yuan to recall what the Moon Empress had said.
When facing a powerful enemy, being a protector came with sacrifice.
There were countless unnamed heroes in the Radiance Federation's history. The Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan this when the dead spirits crisis began.
The Moon Empress had mentioned that because she had been prepared to do the same.
Although Lin Yuan had not said this, he had silently made the same decision when he took on Tower Canon. He had been ready to shoulder all the risks of safeguarding the Radiance Federation's peace.
Lin Yuan had started walking down the path that he used to admire others for doing.
The Island Whales' abilities were largely linked to its wills. This was Sky Sea's choice.
If there was really the need to use Floating Whale Sinks, Sky Sea would use the ability even if Lin Yuan tried to stop it.
Sky Sea also gained a new exclusive skill, Sea Sky Stance.
Sky Sea was the Heavenly Family Fey of the sky and sea and had the ability to control both of them.
The Heavenly Family Cottage had a ranking for the Heavenly Family Feys' abilities.
Sky Sea and Gray were the most powerful feys in the entire Heavenly Family Cottage. One of them controlled weather phenomena, while the other controlled the sky and sea. They did not lose out to the Mother of Bloodbath, who controlled the sun, and Purple Love, who controlled the constellations.
Sea Sky Stance was proof of Sky Sea's control over the sea and sky.
Normally, the sea and sky's stances could speed up Sky Sea's movements.
But when facing enemies, it would allow Sky Sea to protect its vicinity while restraining enemies. More importantly, Sea Sky Stance was also a strong endurance ability.
