127 Do You Know Who I Am? (1/2)

When the Nine Supremes had gathered back then, Supreme Earth had once said that while Supreme Water’s physique matched the Nine Heavens Demesne, it was still not the best.

One day, the group realized with surprise that Supreme Water’s cultivation speed had become one of the fastest among them, upon his return.

Supreme Earth wondered about this, even asking Supreme Water what had happened.

Supreme Water could not explain it either, only mentioning that he had gone fishing at the Thousand Feet Lake out of frustration that his cultivation improvement could not keep up. He ate a few fish that he caught and did not notice any changes. However, when he had cultivated the Water Pneuma Spell, it was unusually smooth – almost as if the Water Pneuma Spell had been made for him. He did not need much effort and had already improved by leaps and bounds.

The few of them had even gone to the Thousand Feet Lake to catch fish in an attempt to emulate the effect. After all, the only unusual occurrence was that Supreme Water had eaten a few of the Thousand Feet Lake’s fish.

It was a pity that they had caught so many fish, almost emptying the lake of them, eating to the point of bloated stomachs but there was no other effect other than getting fatter together.

In the end, they gave up their attempts.

Supreme Earth’s fishing habit had been formed ever since then.

Supreme Earth, Supreme Water, and Supreme Thunder had the highest cultivation base among the brothers but with regards to their mystical cultivation, Supreme Water was clearly in the lead.

As Yun Yang reminisced, another memory came to the surface.

About two years ago, Supreme Earth had come back from fishing and had called upon Supreme Water mysteriously, offering him some fish.

Ever since then, Supreme Water’s mystical cultivation had improved at an unprecedented speed, gliding along and breaking through to the Water Pneuma Spell’s seventh stage!

That was three to four stages higher than the other brothers.

However, everyone was only happy for him and did not think too much about it.

It was then that Supreme Earth would come here to fish whenever he had no mission or had nothing to do.

”Could it be that this is what makes big brother come here to fish whenever he’s free?”

Yun Yang began to come to the realization within his heart.

”Old sir, since no one else had discovered this peculiarity of the lake, how did you find out about it?” Yun Yang asked curiously.

”There was this old man that came to Tiantang City several years ago and… ahem... spotted the Thousand Feet Lake by chance and saw that there was a faint rainbow there. I came down to fish. On my first cast, I caught the Seven-Scaled Fairy and ate it with delight.”

The old man's smile was slightly unnatural when he spoke.

His words would probably be heard and dismissed by most people but Yun Yang had caught on to two main points.

Spotted the Thousand Feet Lake by chance!

What did he mean by spotted?

The Thousand Feet Lake was flat with no platform, where did you spot it from? How exactly did you spot it?

There was also the point where he had come down to fish.

Where did you come down to fish from?

However, Yun Yang did not let anything slip as he smiled and said, ”Legend has it that after eating the Seven-Scaled Fairy, one could become immortal and stay forever young. I wonder if that is true.”

The elder scoffed, ”That’s only the myth of foolish villagers to pass their time, how is it credible? There’s nothing in this world that could make one immortal and forever young!”

Yun Yang continued asking curiously, ”May I ask senior then what are the benefits of eating a Seven-Scaled Fairy? Senior has caught one previously by chance so I suppose you must be familiar with its benefits.”

The elder took a meaningful glance at him and said, ”The human body matches the destined yin and yang of the universe, as well as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, all five elements. These types of physiques allow one to defy the law of nature. However, those who know of this theory is rare and there are few in this world.”

”Most people in this world won’t know what physique they have their entire life, wasting the sacred human body. Among these physiques, there’s a type called the Water Pneuma Soma. In simpler words, it’s the body of water, water physique.”

”Water physique is not actually that rare. A lot of people who learn swimming faster than others, who swim faster or don’t feel any difficulty diving, those who can change their breath underwater or feel perfectly fine staying in the water for long periods at a time – these are what we called water physique. They are innately familiar with water.”

The elder continued softly, ”But this is only the most general state. To improve such physique to Water Pneuma Physique, one needed to undergo harsh conditioning and plenty of life threatening efforts… yet it still might not succeed.”

”However, if one could be assisted with the Seven-Scaled Fairy in this lake…” The old man seemed to despise the name ‘Seven-Scaled Fairy’ but he continued, ”Only eating one of this fish could activate all the potential a water physique person possesses, turning them into the real Water Pneuma Soma!”

”This is the fish’s special effect. Even if a person without water physique eats it, they would notice that they will be as at ease as being at home, there is no need to be afraid of ever being drowned.”

Yun Yang hesitated before asking, ”What If it is being eaten by someone of other physiques?”
