375 The Peculiar Lunar River (1/2)

The news that Supreme Wind was still alive was no longer a secret.

Despite traveling faster than the wind and arriving earlier at the Empire of Ziyou, it was as good as if he had announced that Supreme Wind of the Nine Supremes had now arrived in the territory of Ziyou!

If the enemy connected this matter to Old Dugu and if any accidents were to sprout from it, Yun Yang would not be able to bear it.

He would rather be slower and be assured of the complete security of this matter. At the very least, he had to be securely stealthy before he fully understood the situation and if the target was Old Dugu.

Besides, Jun Moyan was there to stabilize the situation; there would be room for negotiation!

Yun Yang had decided to use Supreme Water’s Holy Water Charm to make his way in haste, diving straight into the Lunar River. He cultivated the Holy Water Charm by utilizing the Lunar River’s water on the way.

However, it was only after Yun Yang had dove into the Lunar River that he realized that executing the Holy Water Charm and turning into the water was an entirely different experience compared to turning into wind and cloud. The current feeling of ease that he was feeling right now was barely comparable to when he manifested as wind and cloud!

Yun Yang, who had merged with the water, felt as if he was being placed on a huge, soft bed. He could control his deific consciousness and body, using the power of water manifestation and expand them without limit. Anywhere the water could go, his deific consciousness and thoughts could reach!

It was a tangible touch that could result in a real collision!

Yun Yang had never gone into the Lunar River before this. Now that he was in the river by chance, he finally understood something. The water in the Lunar River was different from the water existing in any other place!

It was a strange, magical, river water unlike any other!

This river’s water could be used for drinking and farming, but it felt colder and silkier than anything he had ever felt before.

The Lunar River flowed from the Endless Mountain in the extreme east, stretching a hundred and seventy-eight thousand miles into the Endless Ocean on the other end, surging and running without rest. From the surface of the river, the water looked exceptionally murky and could not be consumed.

Yet when Yun Yang was one with the water, he discovered that the seemingly murky water was without any impurities nor sediments.

All the stones, sands and any other sediment that could pollute the quality of the water laid quietly below the surface. Even if they swirled occasionally, they could hardly move along the current. It was a stark difference!

Yun Yang also found out something else peculiar. Along the entire hundred and seventy thousand miles of the Lunar River, there wasn't a single strand of seaweed growing on the banks.

This was very unusual, an anomaly that defied the laws of nature.

For now, Yun Yang could not even understand how such a phenomenon existed.

As he moved along the waterway, there was no scene of dancing river fish like what Yun Yang had expected. It was not that the Kirin Fish’s effect was magical, but the Lunar River had very few fish, so few that the ones they encountered could be discounted entirely.

Perhaps this was the main reason no one had managed to fish in the Lunar River since the beginning of time.

As for why Yun Yang had used the phrase ‘so few that they could be discounted entirely’ to describe the amount of fish in Lunar River, it wasn't because the Lunar River did not have any fish. Yun Yang saw one right away.

It was a big, golden, fish that was as long as a person, moving forward leisurely as it flapped its tail slowly. It was radiant and extremely eye-catching.

Yun Yang was initially puzzled as to why no one had seen such a dazzling fish before, but it was until he had blasted his deific consciousness away from the water to look at it from the sky that he realized that even when he focused his divine sense, he could not secure the exact location of the big fish. From above, the view and color of the fish were exactly the same as the water. It was impossible to find it in the stream.

”This fish isn’t small. I wonder if it tastes good…” Yun Yang thought to himself.

After all, this fish was most probably rare and extraordinary.

Not half a quarter of an hour later, Yun Yang realized that his understanding was wrong.

Just right beside him, a huge fish swam past him lazily. This was a huge fish in every sense; its nostril was bigger than a human head!

Yun Yang was shocked. What fish was this? How could it be so big?

What was more shocking was yet to come. The huge fish that came later moved forward in an elegant manner, swallowing and spitting the river water continuously; when it encountered the man-sized fish, it swallowed it whole.

There was no effort needed in its action. It was smooth and easy, without force.

Yun Yang sucked in a cold breath as he watched.

What a brutal animal!

Using such an elegant manner to execute such a cruel feat... Yun Yang thought that this fish was cold-blooded.
