Although Xinghai was a bit puzzled, he obediently followed Chen Mo’s instructions and greeted the colorful starfish.
"Silk~" (Please... please don’t hurt me.)
Just then, Xinghai suddenly heard a faint, mosquito-like voice in his ear.
The colorful starfish looked at the enormous creature staring at it and almost fainted.
About to... be eaten...
"Woo—" (What’s going on?)
Xinghai was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.
The language between different spiritual beasts also varies greatly and is not universal, but miraculously, he understood the voice of the colorful starfish at this moment.
Xinghai knew that Chen Mo possessed the power to communicate with other spiritual beasts, so did the Spirit Master ability with him now?
"It’s the power of the Entry."
Chen Mo answered. Just a moment ago, he equipped Xinghai with the [Spiritual Beast Language Enthusiast] Entry.
Spiritual Beast Language Enthusiast (Green)
Challenge Content: Initially master a spiritual beast language.
Entry Effect: Initially master all spiritual beast languages, allowing unobstructed communication with other spiritual beasts.
This green entry appeared a long time ago. Because its function highly overlapped with Chen Mo’s spirit control talent, he didn’t choose it back then.
But now, it could be very useful.
"From now on, you can freely communicate with your clan."
Chen Mo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xinghai was a little choked up, feeling incredibly touched.
The stories about its clan were told to Chen Mo when they first met.
It was actually a knot in its heart all along.
But unexpectedly, Chen Mo had kept it in mind all this time.
Not long after, Xinghai arrived at the place in its memory where the Isolated Island Spirit clan lived.
The seawater in this area was unusually clear and exceptionally calm, making Chen Mo feel like he had entered a still oil painting.
At this moment, the Isolated Island Spirit suddenly stopped in its tracks.
The Isolated Island Spirit embarrassingly released a string of bubbles. It suddenly remembered something very important—
It was wintertime! During this season, its species would migrate south to warmer waters.
This meant that Chen Mo had brought it "home" only to find no one there because the clansmen had all gone out.
This made it feel very guilty and self-blaming.
"It’s okay, wherever they go, we’ll just follow."
"Woo—" (It seems to be a place called the Origin Temple.)
In its memory, there was an "Origin Temple" in that water area, which opened around this time every year.
Aside from avoiding the cold, the primary reason for the migration was the "Origin Temple."
It vaguely recalled that its other clan members gained some strength after entering the Origin Temple.
"Origin Temple? What kind of place is that?"
Chen Mo was instantly intrigued. The name sounded very grandiose, hinting at a very mysterious place.
"Woo—" (That is the Trial Land left by the Sea Ancestor.)
Sensing its Spirit Master’s interest in the Origin Temple, Xinghai began to recount the founding myth of their species.
In ancient times, the concept of the ocean didn’t exist in the Spirit Realm; there were only endless volcanoes and land.
Until the Ancestor of the Ocean crossed from the void, and the Origin Water it carried transformed into boundless oceans.
Subsequently, the Ancestor of the Ocean also molded five types of spiritual sea beasts with the Origin Water, spreading the seeds of life.
The Isolated Island Spirit, according to the myth, is a descendant of the Ancestor of the Ocean.
It is now considered one of the five great ocean royal families.
As for the Origin Temple, it is the "heritage" left by the Ancestor of the Ocean.
Within the designated time frame, the leaders of the five royal families can use their tokens to open the temple for their clansmen to undergo trials.
After listening, Chen Mo felt slightly familiar with it.
Senior Thunder Dragon seemed to have a similar approach...
This Sea Ancestor likely also truly existed.
In the Spirit Realm, many myths are real.
Although they may be exaggerated, they are rarely fabricated out of thin air.
"Xinghai, is the Sea Ancestor a mythical creature?"
"Woo—" (Not clear, probably? In the myths of our Isolated Island Spirit tribe, its form is that of a giant whale, fully capable of matching the size of the entire ocean. In the myths of the other four royal families, the Sea Ancestor reflects their image.)
"Is it far from here to the Origin Temple?"
The "Origin Temple" mentioned by Xinghai sounded like a land of opportunity, worth a visit!
However, before heading over, he needed to scout the situation. It wouldn’t do if they arrived there only to find the Origin Temple had already closed.
"Woo—" (About a five-day journey.)
"Then let’s set off!"
However, the Isolated Island Spirit shook its head.
"Woo—" (Well... I don’t know the way.)
Xinghai said embarrassedly. It had migrated once with the tribe, but at that time, it was still young and did not remember the complete migration route.
Chen Mo remained calm.
"Xinghai, just move forward in the direction you remember."
After traveling for about ten minutes, a green seabird-like spiritual beast flew overhead.
