Chapter 867: The Great Pod
The inn proved to be very useful. The next day, Sage got a chance to speak to some of the humans who had lived in the Great Pod for some time. They were able to tell him about a lot of details that the Whale Sword Sect members wouldnt care about. Not because they were hiding information, but because they werent humans there were many concerns or customs that would be completely alien to them. This was truly a city made for all these Cetaceans and the accommodations for humans were only a side note. Luckily, the humans living here had been able to set things up in a comfortable fashion, but when heading into the giant bay that made up the majority of the Great Pod it was very much a foreign place. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
While there were many buildings on the bottom of this bay, they were more exceptions rather than the rule. These whales and dolphins lived in a three dimensional world without walls or boundaries. Unlike humans who created structures to protect them from the elements, these creatures spent their whole lives completely immersed and surrounded by danger. There was also the fact that these beings didnt have hands and their culture or society was not formed around building and creating things to empower themselves. Their world had a completely different foundation. Over time and with close contact with human Cultivators it had many overlapping pursuits, but instead of invention and construction, they focused on art.
Instead of creating objects, they created music. Songs that wove together music, poems, storytelling, and even art. Sage spent the next few days attending different events that consisted of varying levels of art. The first few were about the song themselves, basically concerts, and were quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, they werent all as enjoyable for him. Without the ability to enjoy the songs as images like the other Cetaceans it was much like being a blind person going to the cinema. He could only experience a small part of what was going on.
Sage also learned about the Keepers.
Sage had considered offering them to become the rulers of the seas on the Inner World and if they accepted the deal then he would also never go behind their back and force Soul Resonance upon them. He considered perhaps trying to arrange something with cetacean criminals, but he eventually gave it up.
While Sage couldnt really experience the full majesty of the song images and song movies, he was able to learn a lot more from their other unique capability. Cultivation. While he knew it was something that was possible, these were the first Demonic Beasts that he had seen performing their own cultivation. It was even more amazing to find many different schools of cultivation and to learn that they were constantly innovating. Perhaps the other legendary beasts he heard of had done the same thing long ago to create their impressive heritage, but he could only speculate about that. What was even more amazing was that there were humans and other Demonic Beasts who were part of these sects and schools. Sage knew first hand how different cultivation could be in different types of bodies so it was impressive to know they didnt just know how to cultivate but they could alter their cultivation techniques into a more universal form that other races could practice.
It also turns out that the Orcas and the Whale Sword Sect were actually outliers among the cetacean cultivators. Unlike these two groups, most of the cultivators here were not reliant upon their large bodies to fight. Instead, their methods involved sound and their songs. A few of them did incorporate their large and powerful bodies but not as a physical weapon, but as a sort of sounding box or amplifier to magnify the power of their voice. There was only a single school for toothed whales that used Qi to amplify the power of their bodies, and the Whale Sword Sect for cetaceans like Narwhals to train with their natural weapons. For the other cetaceans there were more than a dozen other cultivation schools training various types of song and sound for combat and self advancement. Even the prestigious Keepers usually trained in cultivation as it helped improve their memory and make it easier for them to do their job.
A few days later, Sage was listening to a song at an undersea restaurant when he ran into a former acquaintance. The scarred nose of a huge Orca moved in front of him and a dark eye met his own.
