Chapter 148: Enlightening Fish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the banks of the river, the snow was as thick as the night.

Yuchi sat in the pavilion, holding a fishing rod, his eyes tightly shut.

If someone were to stand next to him and take a closer look, they would be shocked to find that, despite his body being covered in snow and ice, it was actually untouched. The ice and snow did not touch his body, seemingly separated by an invisible barrier.

In Yuchi’s sea of consciousness, he had already accumulated plenty of Dao aura.

There were too many techniques in his sea of consciousness, which were all strange and varied. After understanding and observing all these techniques, his own understanding of the Heavenly Dao elements had far exceeded the level that could only be achieved by those in the Dao realm.

Thanks to that, he was able to comprehend new and different techniques every few days while sitting at the edge of the cold river.

These techniques originated from his own understanding of Dao aura.

Fishing had been his main means of increasing his strength, but now it had been relegated to simply being the channel by which he communicated with the ancient era.

Currently, his eyes were fixed on his sea of consciousness, which was a transparent sea. He could clearly see the starlight hidden under the sea.

Each speck of starlight represented a portion of his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, which he had accumulated over the years.

Under Yuchi’s control, the specks of starlight were gradually converging toward the center of his sea of consciousness.

Like fireflies on a summer’s night, the light became more and more brilliant!

Until… the starlight merged!

A huge, colorful mountain condensed and appeared in Yuchi’s sea of consciousness. The mountain grew larger and larger, and in a short time, it completely broke through the shackles of the sea of consciousness!

Earth-shattering divine might could be sensed within his sea of consciousness, which was the result of the fusion of various Heavenly Dao elements!

The fish in theriver looked at the man sitting in the pavilion inexplicably.

Why did this man look a little strange today?

His body was partly visible and partly invisible, flickering like a candle in the wind.

At this moment, the water of the river was dyed white like a dreamy ice river. The fish in the ice river could sense his Dao aura, and their wisdom also increased rapidly.

Yuchi was shockingly enlightening these fish!

The understanding of Dao aura and the Heavenly Dao was the foundation for the myriad races to increase their strength!

Thanks to the enlightenment of his Dao aura, the fishes’ consciousness and body were also rapidly evolving…

Finally…

Yuchi had broken through from the Dao realm to the Dao essence realm. A towering mountain had finally appeared in his sea of consciousness!

The mountain gradually lost its colorful appearance and now looked just like an ordinary mountain.

He could see many clouds around the mountain!

On the surface of the mountain, vegetation could be seen!

It was like the mountains of the immortals in the legends of his past life.

His expression was leisurely.

At this moment, Yuchi had officially entered the Dao essence realm!

Moreover, unlike the others who would enter the Dao essence realm at the ninth-grade, the power of the divine mountain in his body had actually propelled him to reach the sixth grade of the Dao essence!

In other words, Yuchi had broken through from the first grade of the Dao realm, bypassing the ninth, eighth and seventh grades, to reach the sixth grade of the Dao essence realm.

This was unprecedented.

However, the reason for this situation was very simple.

It was because when Yuchi was in the Dao realm, he already had some insights into the Heavenly Dao elements, as well as his own Heavenly Dao.

His understanding of the Heavenly Dao had catalyzed his breakthrough.

[Name: Yuchi]

[Constitution: 2.42 million]

[Strength: 2.63 million]

[Speed: 2.95 million]

[Dao essence realm: Sixth stage (56%)]

[Skill 1: Dragon spine (Level 8). Like the Vast Sea Dragon King, your spine is extremely strong, and can disperse the soul of the opponent!]

[Skill 2: Netherworld bloodsucking (Level 3). Like a Nether Swordfish, when you kill an enemy, you can extract the blood essence from your enemy’s body to increase your own strength!]

[Skill 3: Hellfire Dance (Level 3) Like a Nether Swordfish, you can summon a hellfire tornado to attack the enemy.]

[Skill 4: Dragon Palm Strike (Level 8). Like the Vast Sea Dragon King, your fists possess extremely immense physical strength. A single palm strike can destroy a city.]

In comparison, the leader of the angel race, Yu Huaqing, had reached the eighth grade of the Dao essence realm!

The leader of the dragon race, Long Tianwei, had reached the sixth grade of the Dao essence realm!

It had only been two years since he had left the vast sea!

The huge leap in cultivation allowed him to examine himself from a higher perspective, which was a supreme boon to him!

After a long period of enlightenment, the speed at which his cultivation increased had reached new heights.

However, his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was now on par with his cultivation level, so if he wanted to break through again, it would take some time.

Still, he was stronger than most sixth-grade Dao essence realm cultivators, considering that he had begun to condense his own Dao heart, and had comprehended a wisp of his own Heavenly Dao..

This transformation meant that he had transcended the form of a human!

In addition, Yuchi now knew how to resurrect Medusa.

As a Dao essence realm cultivator, he was capable of resurrecting her!

As long as he returned to the Netherworld Sea and summoned Medusa’s soul and placed it in the divine mountain in his sea of consciousness to be nurtured, she would be able to gradually form a physical body around her soul.

Then, in five to ten years, she would be able to walk the earth again.

Thinking of the beautiful Medusa, Yuchi’s face displayed a hint of excitement.

“I really want to beat Medusa until she kneels down and begs for mercy.”

“Hahaha.”

“Hahahahahaha!”

“Hey!”

Yuchi slowly opened his eyes.

He said to the sky in his calmest tone. His expression gradually became a little crazy, and the fierce red light hidden in the depths of his eyes surfaced.

The divine mountain also started emitting a faint scarlet glow.

Even if Yuchi was killed, as long as he could hide his soul in the divine mountain before it was extinguished, the divine mountain would be able to resurrect him.

Of course, Yuchi would probably never use this function. After all, he believed in risking his life.

“Eh?”

As he laughed, his eyes locked onto the fish in the river. His smile froze and his gaze became deeper.

The fish were clearly different from before.

There were probably more than 100,000 fishes gathered in a 1000-meter radius around the pavilion.

What these fish were doing right now was actually worshiping!

One by one, the fish poked their heads out of the cold, blue water of the frigid river.

One after another, intelligent eyes looked in Yuchi’s direction. Their fish tails slowly swayed, and their scales emitted a faint light of wisdom.

Beneath this cold river, was a new race emerging?

“They are treating me as their ancestor?”

Another new race had emerged in this world.

They looked at the man in the pavilion with great excitement as they imprinted everything about this man into their minds. They were undergoing a complete transformation of their bodies and souls, but it was only a small part of the Heavenly Dao that Yuchi had comprehended during his breakthrough.

The effect of the Heavenly Dao was actually so terrifying!

Yuchi could not envision how these fishes would turn out like in the future.

Perhaps…

They really would rise up.

Still, that was something for the distant future.

“Hmm, I get it now.”

“The red-crowned crane beside the old monk should have been transformed by an expert.”

Then, his body disappeared from the pavilion and flew into the sky.

It was time for the hunt!
