Dragon Whale and the Harvest, Level Breakthrough! (8k)

Above the ice, a golden greatsword spun rapidly, with a cloud-white halo flowing along its edge. The tip of the sword emitted sword energy, drilling down like a drill.

"Crack crack crack~" Ice shards flew everywhere.

Once the sword tip pierced through ten meters of ice, it immediately stopped rotating.

Long Xiao simultaneously controls four golden swords, with himself as the center point. The four golden swords are located in the four cardinal directions, two hundred meters away from their master.

The next second, the sword trembled slightly, and the white halo of the blade turned into a serrated flow.

This golden sword, having just served as a drill bit, has now turned into a cutting machine, beginning to cut horizontally.

"Long Xiao's sword has truly been burdened with work it shouldn't have been given," Zhao Xing laughed.

"I never imagined that a sword cultivator would one day be reduced to a worker." Xia Jing felt as if some halo in his heart had shattered.

The once aloof sword cultivators are now so incredibly down-to-earth!

"His speed is indeed fast," Ji Ziyun said. "If it were me, a sorcerer, I certainly wouldn't be as fast as him."

The ice is too thick; magical effects are not as effective as physical effects here.

Even Zhao Xing didn't have any magic to quickly break the ice.

The best magic to melt ice is fire.

Old Master Zhao's Heavenly Fire is only at the mid-stage of perfection; to think he could melt a layer of ice more than ten meters thick is simply a pipe dream.

If he were to come, he would probably have the straw man slowly chisel it with tools.

The Mountain Cat followed beside Long Xiao's sword, scratching the ice with its claws.

Click click click click~ The Mountain Cat quickly dug out an ice hole.

However, it seemed to have no sense of direction; it burrowed down and then popped out from the other side.

"Meow?" The Mountain Cat, like a gopher, quickly created several ice holes on the originally smooth ice surface.

"Heaven Defier, hurry up and come inside. I'll make you some fish later." Zhao Xing has OCD and can't stand seeing the smooth ice surface made into a mess.

The Long Xiao so neatly, each piece a perfect square; it's pleasing to the eye.

Having a few crooked, uneven holes on it is torture for people with OCD.

"Meow~" The Mountain Cat panted and quickly ran back to the small house next door.

"Long Xiao, when you're helping Brother Ji move the ice shards, be as quiet as possible. There are a lot of fish down there, don't scare them away," Zhao Xing called out.

"Knew."

The one on the ice is Zhao Xing himself.

He has a total of eighteen Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet. Nine of them serve as bodyguards for Ji Ziyun and Murong Xue, while the other nine follow his main body.

Now, a thousand meters below the seabed, three Straw Man Clone are observing the underwater situation.

The roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine have already grown to a depth of three thousand meters and are still spreading underwater.

However, by this point, growth had slowed down considerably due to Old Chen's advanced Foundation Strengthening Art.

Every 500 meters along the base, one segment becomes extremely thick, appearing from a distance as if it has bulged out.

Its interior space has also become larger, covering more than a thousand square meters, as if three villas have grown out of the water.

Zhao Xing broke through six layers of vine walls and opened several skylights in different directions on the outermost layer.

First, they threw out a few Night-Shining Pearl, then sealed them with the mirror from the Qilin Flying Boat.

He then lay inside the cloud vine and used his Heaven's Eye Art and Five Elements Observation to observe the underground sea.

"Gurgle~"

A bubble rose and rippled upwards.

Then a three-meter-long fish with purple scales and a head that emitted a faint Golden Light, resembling a long knife, swam by.

Soon another group of fish followed and swam past the roots of the cloud vine.

"So many big fish." Zhao Xing was itching to shoot them.

However, since the tools were not complete at the time, and it would be easy to disturb the fish, the idea was abandoned.

"Once the Azure Clouds take root on the seabed, we can touch it and see if there are any treasures."

If we could reach the seabed, the Divine Swift Guard would come in handy.

If you can reach the earth's surface, you can use the Earth Vein to unleash the power of Divine Swift Guard, and then you can try searching for treasures on the seabed.

The beauty of the Eternal Night Sea isn't just limited to fish!

The swordsman broke the ice, and the sorcerer worked together to move the ice layer piece by piece, carrying it up to another location so as not to frighten the fish.

Next, Ji Ziyun set up the Ice Well Formation, ensuring that the excavated ice surface would not freeze over in a short period of time.

The above work was completed in just half an hour.

The main advantage is that Long Xiao quickly, making it easy for Ji Ziyun to set up the formation.

"Splash!"

The seawater was flowing, and after a while, fish shadows darted by, coming out to breathe.

"There are already fish before we've even baited the spot?" Ji Ziyun's face lit up with joy. "Looks like we chose the right place... Zhao Xing, shall we start baiting?"

He was already getting impatient.

"Okay." Zhao Xing immediately flew to Warm Bloom Shed and brought back a Water Immortal.

The Water Immortal belongs to the lotus family and the lotus genus. Its seedpod is small, but its petals are very large.

After sinking to the seabed, the blue petals became even more crystalline, and began to disturb the cold air in the water, spreading ripples in all directions and forming a domain.

The fish were immediately guided and began to rush towards the Water Immortal's domain.

Once inside the Water Immortal's territory, the fish are reluctant to leave and begin searching for mates to mate with.

Zhao Xing then scattered another bucket of Fish Devouring Grass seeds.

After the grayish-green grass seeds enter the water, their outer shells decompose rapidly, and they begin to emit an odor.

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~"

The bubbles on the water surface increased, which clearly indicated that fish had arrived.

Ji Ziyun was quite excited. "So many... Hahaha, Qilin Child, cast the line quickly!"

Xia Jing was now entrusted with the important task of fishing, and all five fishing rods were handed to him. In the hope that his novice aura would continue to work, he gritted his teeth and began to cast the Divine Luo Fishing Rod.

Then he cast his fishing rod again, this time with Yellow Dragon Fishing Rod and Heaven and Earth Fishing Rod...

But when Xia Jing cast the third fishing rod, he was stunned.

Because as soon as the first two fishing rods were lowered into the water, the fishing lines were instantly straightened, and the fishing rods bent violently.

The bubbles below are increasing in number, as if they are boiling.

"Splash!"

A half-meter-long swordfish, shimmering with Golden Light, leaped out of the sea.

"Thud!" It fell directly into the fish basket in front of Xia Jing.

Xia Jing: "..."

Ji Ziyun: "..."

"Splash!" Three more fish flew out of the sea and landed in the fish basket with a splash.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

From then on, things spiraled out of control.

Hundreds of fish leaped out of the sea, and the fish basket was already full.

They then fell onto the ice and struggled.

"Gulp~" Xia Jing swallowed.

"Zhao Xing, is this situation... normal?"

He didn't quite understand, but he was greatly shocked.

"I..." Zhao Xing hesitated. "It seems we sprinkled a bit too much of the Fish Devouring Grass."

He took a close look and, together with the observations made by the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet below, quickly confirmed it.

We definitely baited the spot too much!

The fish below are going crazy!

"Fish Devouring Grass has a deadly attraction to fish. The fifth-tier version is called Fish Food Grass, and the sixth-tier version is called 'devouring'. They will devour it frantically and rush over without regard for anything."

"The Water Immortal controls the reproduction of the fish, causing them to enter the mating season early and making them reluctant to leave this area."

"Food and sex, everything is arranged perfectly." Zhao Xing took a deep breath. "These two Derived Seed from the Shangluo Academy are far too powerful."

Where in his past life had Zhao Xing ever used such good bait for groundbaiting?

He instinctively tossed a bucket out.

In addition, the people fishing are different.

Zhao Xing and Xia Jing both Derivation Four level of destiny, and Long Xiao's destiny is also quite good, already Derivation Three the Derivation Four.

Ji Ziyun and Chen Shijie are also at the Derivation Three, but their luck pillars are slightly weaker. Even the worst-performing Chen Shijie has reached the Derivation Three.

The combined luck of the five people resulted in a fish population underwater that far exceeded the number Zhao Xing observed at the roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine.

In addition, he has been fishing too much, and now it's out of control.

"Hurry up and pick up the fish! What are you standing there for?" Chen Shijie was overjoyed when he came out and saw that he didn't need to fish. He could just pick them up directly. Wasn't that great?

"We've struck it rich!" Ji Ziyun and Long Xiao, after a moment of stunned silence, beamed with joy and began to collect the fish.

This catch is bigger than anything they've caught before.

The shortest is half a meter long, and the largest is over three meters long!

"They're all so beautiful and graceful!"

At first, Xia Jing was unwilling. He had only just become interested in fishing and still didn't like eating fish. But what was this all about?

Jumping directly into the fish basket is insulting!

However, as more and more fish appeared, Xia Jing stopped feeling nauseous.

Because there are too many!

Because of the captivating beauty that stirs the Heart's Blood Surge, Xia Jing was now trembling with excitement.

Excitement overcame his aversion to the fish, and he even started picking them up with his hands!

"Pat-pat-pat~"

Fish were leaping all over the water, and hundreds jumped out of the ice in the blink of an eye.

In just fifteen minutes, there were already nearly a thousand messages!

"How many nests did you raid? How come there are so many?" Chen Shijie ran over, also astonished by the scene.

"I threw it all in."

"Huh?" Chen Shijie said, "Is this how you bait a hole?"

"I'm not planning on fishing anymore." Zhao Xing pointed, and a Astral Wind instantly appeared on the sea surface. "What's the point of fishing now?"

"Suck it!"

"..."

Chen Shijie angrily denounced, "You scoundrel, Zhao Xing, you're the worst of the worst fishing enthusiasts! You have absolutely no skill whatsoever!"

As he spoke, he unleashed a tornado.

Only a minority of fish have jumped ashore.

But the amount of water sucked up by the Dragon Absorbs Water is quite large.

Suddenly, a shower of fish began to fall from the sky.

"Oh ho ho~" Long Xiao shouted excitedly, like a child. "Heaven Defier, eat up, eat as much as you want!"

"Meow!" The Mountain Cat was also very excited, sniffing this one and nibbling on that one.

It would bite one, paw at another, as if it wanted to collect them all.

Mine, mine, all mine!

But a quarter of an hour later, the situation suddenly changed.

"Damn it, why are these fish attacking people?" Long Xiao was in a panic when he was suddenly attacked by five fish with wings and sharp, spiky mouths.

"Thump~ Thump~" Zhao Xing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Brother Zhao, is there some big catch down there?" Ji Ziyun was initially excited, but gradually, she also noticed something was wrong. "Why are all these fish jumping desperately onto the ice?"

"Let me see." Zhao Xing quickly controlled the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet to look at the seabed.

"Bang!" The Water Cloud Vine was suddenly hit by something, its roots shook violently, and three or four layers of the vine wall were pierced.

Whoosh~

The water rushed in, crashing against the fifth layer of vine-covered walls.

Zhao Xing immediately used magic to seal the gap.

As he activated his Heavenly Eye to observe, a blurry black shadow swept past his eyes.

The shadowy figure was twenty or thirty meters long. Zhao Xing could see fifty or sixty Saber-Toothed Black Scale Shark swimming towards the Water Immortal in front of them.

Each one is seventy or eighty meters long! And it shimmers with a beautiful, ethereal light!

"A big one's here! If we can take one down, it'll be a huge boost! Guys, get ready..."

Before Zhao Xing could finish speaking, something suddenly gripped his heart, giving it a sharp, clenched grip.

Even the original being caught in the throes of the demon, unable to breathe or utter a word.

Beneath the seabed, the perspective of the Ten Thousand Laws Clone was suddenly obscured by a white expanse.

The gold and white stripes are moving upwards.

After waiting for ten breaths, the view in front of me suddenly cleared up.

Zhao Xing immediately realized that something had just passed by.

"Um, surprisingly..."

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

A colossal creature appeared before us; its tail fin alone was three or four hundred meters long!

Its pale belly, shimmering with golden patterns, had just blocked my view!

The back of the fin has rows of scales and spines, each one being twenty or thirty meters long.

Moo~

A desolate sound, as if from ancient times, traveled from the seabed into the roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine.

Then Zhao Xing saw the enormous creature open its mouth and swallow the Saber-Toothed Black Scale Shark that had just swum past.

"Dragon Whale! It's Dragon Whale!"

"Run!"

Zhao Xing's scalp tingled, Astral Wind whipped up the fish basket on the ice, along with people and cats.

Without saying a word, they pulled them all towards Warm Bloom Shed.

"What are you doing...?"

As Long Xiao was engrossed in collecting the items, a sudden, incredibly dangerous intuition exploded in his mind.

He took the initiative to speed up and quickly pulled Chen Shijie up.

Xia Jing reacted just as quickly, immediately activating the Azure Dragon Body Method and accelerating along with Zhao Xing's Astral Wind.

The Mountain Cat then caught the slow-reacting Ji Ziyun in its mouth and moved forward amidst the Astral Wind and lightning.

The ice surface suddenly calmed down.

Two breaths later.

"Bang!"

"Click click click"

The water surface exploded, and the surrounding ice was also broken.

The ice surface that Long Xiao had expanded instantly doubled in size!

A huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, and all the surrounding energy and matter were being pulled into the whirlpool and crushed.

The next moment, a gigantic maw swallowed up the ice, the seawater, and the fish!

It revealed half of its body, but even that half looked like a mountain.

The black and gold scales shimmered under the light.

Its leap was like a mountain rising from the seabed, and after eating its food, it pounced forward again.

"Bang!"

The ice surface was smashed open again, sending up huge waves hundreds of meters high!

"Oh my god!" Ji Ziyun's face turned pale. "It's a dragon, Dragon Whale!"

"Dragon Whale?! Is it that big?!" Xia Jing stared blankly, forgetting his nausea and overwhelmed by severe megalophobia.

"Old Chen, brace against the waves!" Zhao Xing shouted. "The Warm Bloom Shed behind us can't be destroyed."

"Understood." Chen Shijie quickly responded.

The two of them cast a spell together to protect Warm Bloom Shed behind them.

The waves surged, and Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing held their staffs.

Facing waves hundreds of meters high, they joined forces to support the cloud formations, enveloping the Warm Bloom Shed.

The clouds and mist formed layers upon layers, resembling mountain peaks.

Facing the giant waves, the light shield remained as firm as a reef.

"Whoosh~"

A few minutes later, the wave finally subsided.

The Dragon Whale disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had escaped a disaster.

"Dragon Whale! I never imagined there would be such a huge Dragon Whale in the Eternal Night Sea." Chen Shijie was still deeply shocked. "Its size is over a hundred times that of an ordinary Dragon Whale!"

Zhao Xing said, "The spiritual essence contained in the Dragon Whale is far greater than that of ordinary fish. It devours fish everywhere, consuming countless spiritual essences, which is why it grows stronger and stronger."

"Luckily you reminded us in time," Ji Ziyun said, still shaken. "Otherwise, we would have been swallowed whole and wouldn't have been able to escape the Dragon Whale's ' Heaven Swallowing Vortex '."

"Meow!" Aotian Meow waved its paw. That really scared the cat to death!

Fortunately, the Dragon Whale lunged forward, and after finishing its meal, it swam away.

Zhao Xing and the others flew in the opposite direction.

Moreover, they reacted quickly and moved away from the area where the Dragon Whale was devouring them; otherwise, their chances of survival would have been slim.

"The Path of Luck comes and goes, once, twice, three times, and then it's exhausted." Zhao Xing's expression was also somewhat grim. "We've been so lucky all along that we've forgotten the most basic principles."

For more than ten days in a row, I had good luck and no danger whatsoever.

At this moment, a stroke of bad luck finally broke out.

Zhao Xing calculated with his fingers. "No wonder the previous result was 92. There is danger in Kan, so seek only small gains."

"So this is where it should be."

"It was my dereliction of duty," Zhao Xing reflected. "I almost caused everyone to be swallowed up by a whale."

"Brother Zhao, what are you saying?" Xia Jing frowned. "Does being brothers only mean sharing the good times?"

"Yes, Zhao Xing," Ji Ziyun added, "This isn't your fault, and you even reminded me in time."

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao didn't speak. They didn't blame Zhao Xing. Their brotherhood was in their hearts, and there was no need for words.

"We didn't come away empty-handed." Ji Ziyun pointed to the fish behind her. "Although we didn't catch them all, there are still one or two thousand here."

"You are not a god, nor are you omniscient or omnipotent, so you don't need to be so hard on yourself."

Despite saying that, Zhao Xing still reflected on his actions.

His treasure hunt went too smoothly, and his Five Finger Heavenly Mandate broke through to a higher level, causing his vigilance to drop. As a result, he ignored even the basic principles of luck, or was confident that he could avoid them.

"Fate is unpredictable and mysterious. Although we escaped danger this time, we should always be mindful of potential risks in the future."

After reflecting on his actions, Zhao Xing felt that his understanding of the Five Finger Heavenly Mandate and the Great Evolution Qi Observation Art had deepened.

"Alright, let's divide the fish." Chen Shijie noticed that Zhao Xing's mood had returned to normal, and knew that he had come out.

"Let's check the damage first," Zhao Xing said.

"Alright."

Chen Shijie entered Warm Bloom Shed, although some ice blocks had collapsed, it was otherwise intact.

Some cracks appeared in the foundation, but because the ice layer was thick enough and the Dragon Whale was not pouncing in that direction, it only cracked, and the ice layer, which was more than ten meters thick, did not completely break.

The damage to Warm Bloom Shed was not significant.

"The fishing rods are gone," Long Xiao said. "All five fishing rods are missing. I don't know if they were swallowed by the Dragon Whale or swept away by the waves."

In that situation, who needed a fishing rod? Everyone was busy collecting fish.

"It was swallowed," Zhao Xing said with his eyes closed. "It was swallowed into the belly of the Dragon Whale."

"How did you know?" Long Xiao asked.

"You did this on purpose?" Ji Ziyun was taken aback. "These are all custom-made sixth-tier fishing rods. The Seven Star Hook have a positioning function, so if the line breaks, they can be located through positioning. You even took the fish basket, so there's no reason not to take the fishing rod with you."

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded. As a seasoned player, he possessed this level of quick thinking.

"So you've got your eye on the Dragon Whale, huh? With our strength alone?"

"I can't do it," Zhao Xing said with a smile, "But some people can. Even if they don't have the chance, they'll only lose five fishing rods."

"Anyway, we don't need fishing rods to eat fish."

"That's true." Ji Ziyun looked at the fish lying on the ground. "These fish, we either picked them up or scooped them up, but we couldn't catch them."

"Nonsense!" Xia Jing retorted angrily, "I clearly caught a whole basket of fish before! Cousin, are you deliberately ignoring the fact that I caught more than you and am better at it?"

"Qilin Child, you call that skill?" Ji Ziyun said disdainfully, "The fish are jumping into your basket."

"Little Jar, you've gone too far!"

"You bastard, you..."

Just as Ji Ziyun was about to say something, Zhao Xing interrupted her, saying, "Brother Xia, stop pretending."

"You want to argue with Brother Ji, then pretend to be angry and leave without eating this fish?"

Xia Jing looked somewhat embarrassed. "Is it that obvious?"

"You think I'm joking about opening my third eye in my Fate Soul?"

Zhao Xing was speechless. Just as they were about to divide the fish, Xia Jing started to back down.

Just how much do you hate eating fish?!

"It's not that I'm scared, I just wanted to wait for you guys to eat something first..." Xia Jing's voice grew weaker and weaker as she faced the gazes of the others.

"Okay, then can I eat a little less?"

"If you practice Gluttony Art, how can you eat less, huh?"

"Then can we light a fire, put out a stove, heat some oil in a wok, and cook it until it's done? Surely you have something prepared on your Qilin Flying Boat?"

"I did consider that before," Zhao Xing said, pointing to Warm Bloom Shed. "But now that the Qilin Flying Boat has been dismantled, where are we going to cook oil?"

"Besides, Old Chen and I aren't culinary masters. If we don't handle the delicate essence of this dish properly, we'll lose most of its flavor if we overcook it."

"Are you trying to waste such a precious resource?"

"Stop reading it, stop reading it... I'll eat it!" Xia Jing said resentfully. "Ever since I was grouped with you during Supply Training, I knew this would happen sooner or later... Damn it, what kind of karma have I created!"

"A real man sheds blood, not tears! Eat!"

"..."

On the Tower Ship, Pei Yuanchang was counting his catch and discussing matters with his advisors.

Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in without even announcing himself.

"Young master, young master! Something terrible has happened!"

"What kind of behavior is this, all this panic?!" Pei Yuanchang shouted. "Can't you see that my husband and I are discussing serious matters?"

"Don't do that again. Now, what is it?"

Without saying a word, the subordinate took out a Mirage Pearl from his pocket and began playing the video.

"Young Master previously instructed me to keep an eye on Zhao Shennong's side to prevent any untoward incidents from happening to them."

"My subordinates have been watching from a distance; this is a record of what happened 25 minutes ago."

Pei Yuanchang immediately looked up at the image projected into the Mirage Pearl.

The above shows Long Xiao cutting through the ice and moving ice blocks.

Everything seemed normal at first.

But when Zhao Xing transplanted the Water Immortal and placed it in the water, he also scattered a bucket of Fish Devouring Grass.

Gradually, something started to go wrong.

"What's going on? Why are there so many fish?" Pei Yuanchang was stunned.

What he saw next shocked him even more.

The fish jumped directly into the fish basket next to Xia Jing, and even more fish jumped onto the ice.

Before long, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie simply used Dragon Absorbs Water technique to scoop up the fish in the water.

It rained fish from the sky!

"What?!"

Pei Yuanchang stood up abruptly.

The strategist beside him was also extremely surprised.

"How can there be so many fish in this area...?"

Pei Yuanchang was completely dumbfounded.

With such a large group of people, after most of the day, they only managed to produce about a thousand catties.

Although the efficiency increased over time, his crew still couldn't match the efficiency of Zhao Xing's group.

Judging by this visual estimate alone, at least 100,000 catties of fish have been caught!

"How... how did he do that?" Pei Yuanchang wondered if he was hallucinating.

While he was working himself to the bone, Zhao Xing was just sowing seeds and suddenly 100,000 jin of grains were harvested.

Is there no justice left?

Your subordinate was speechless. You ask me how I did it? How could I possibly know?

I'm just making a record!

"Young master, I do not know what kind of magic Zhao Shennong, but I think it is related to his Warm Bloom Shed."

"Furthermore, young master, please continue reading; something even more significant is about to happen!"

Pei Yuanchang finally came to his senses, composed himself, and sat down again.

But immediately, a tremor ran through him, and he stood up again!

"Dragon Whale!"

"Dragon Whale of this size?!"

Pei Yuanchang could no longer sit still.

He immediately rushed out the door.

"Young master, young master!"

The strategist quickly got up and chased after him, but stopped abruptly as he was about to leave.

"This matter must be kept confidential and must not be leaked."

"Yes." The subordinate understood.

After saying that, he also left the Tower Ship and flew towards Zhao Xing's direction.

"Ugh~"

Xia Jing clutched her stomach with one hand and leaned against the door frame with the other, vomiting.

But he couldn't vomit anything; the seventh level of Gluttony Art was rare even among the Fifth Grade.

He only ate the essence of the fish, which was completely digested after entering his stomach, so there was nothing left to vomit.

"Brother Long, cover Qilin Child's mouth and nose, don't let him vomit!" Ji Ziyun said solemnly. "We must help him get rid of this strange habit."

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie laughed loudly. Cousin is really ruthless.

"Alright." Long Xiao spat out a fish bone and made a gesture as if to grab it.

"You bastard, don't come any closer!" Xia Jing waved his hand. "You... you guys can't eat as much as I can!"

"I've already eaten over 3,000 jin (1,500 kg)!"

Xia Jing was truly on the verge of tears.

These four people are inhuman!

Seeing that he had Gluttony Art, he would eat the bones and organs of the food first, calling it, "Gluttony Art for Testing Poison!"

Therefore, he ate the most!

In less than an hour, they ate more than 3,000 jin! More than 3,000 jin!

"Why don't we stop making things difficult for Brother Xia? He's had a tough time too," Zhao Xing said, squinting.

"Don't pretend to be a good person," Xia Jing said indignantly. "You were the one who fed them the most just now!"

"Meow!" The Mountain Cat waved its paw in agreement.

Even I, the cat, don't eat as much as him!

"Hahaha."

Zhao Xing stopped teasing Xia Jing and focused on showing off the fish.

Fish meat possesses a delicate and refined quality, and there are various kinds available.

Because there are enough of them.

He's picky about what he eats.

Now, he has absorbed a considerable amount of water transport.

"After a few more dredging trips and refining the water element, I can then gather the Luck Spiritual Elegance the metal, wood, and earth elements and break through. The Eternal Night Sea offers me a real chance to gather them all."

"If only we could swallow that Dragon Whale..."

Zhao Xing's gaze was intense.

Dragon Whale are one of the greatest advantages of the Eternal Night Sea.

I had only heard of meat in my past life, but had never actually eaten it.

"Even if I can only eat a few pieces of meat and obtain a few drops of essence blood, my Transformation of Seasons Art) might be able to be internally cultivated sooner."

If he begins to practice the Seventy-Two Seasonal Transformations, he can transform into the Divine Beast Soaring Serpent!

This can address some of Zhao Xing's shortcomings in close combat.

Of course, once you're ready to start internal training, breaking through to the Fifth Grade is the most appropriate course of action.

Zhao Xing is now close to achieving the highest level of the Heavenly Gang realm.

Although his Official Rank remained at the Sub-Sixth Rank, his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Heavenly Gang realm.

The Essence Gathering has reached the forty-eighth level!

"After consuming a few more refined ones, one can reach the forty-ninth level of the Essence Gathering, which is the perfect Heavenly Star Realm."

There are more than two thousand of them, the smaller ones weigh seven or eight pounds and the larger ones weigh more than five hundred pounds!

Zhao Xing also took away only the best items.

"Fifty steps is the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan Realm. However, the threshold between forty-nine and fifty steps is not enough to just eat the fish here."

Although the quantity is large, after removing the bones and organs, not much of it is actually edible and useful.

Furthermore, the breakthrough to the Essence Gathering requires "Yuan Qi Ling Xiu" (vital energy and spiritual beauty). The fish here are diverse in variety.

Zhao Xing is already at the Sixth Rank. The higher the realm, the less useful ordinary spiritual talent becomes.

Once you reach the forty-ninth level of the Essence Gathering, if you want to break through to the fiftieth level, the effects of a typical fifth-level Yuan Qi refinement are minimal; only at the sixth level will there be significant progress.

Of course, this is only in terms of quantity. The Pure Yuan Realm also involves the shaping of the Dharma Body, the comprehension of the Dao, and the cultivation of spells. All of these must keep up. It is just that this breakthrough process requires a large amount of Yuan Qi as a foundation to support it.

"I have reached the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm," Long Xiao suddenly said. "I have also reached the forty-ninth level of the Essence Gathering."

"Oh? Congratulations." Ji Ziyun said, "Then I won't eat it, I'll leave it for Brother Long. You are a sword cultivator, and at the fiftieth level you need to forge Pure Yuan Sword Body, the accumulation of Yuan Qi is still unknown."

"Heir Apparent, you don't need to be so Guest Qi," Long Xiao said. "Even if I consume all the spiritual energy here, I still won't reach level fifty. I'd need a hundred times more to reach that level."

"I have also reached the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm, the forty-ninth level of the Essence Gathering." Chen Shijie also slowed down his eating speed.

"What a coincidence." Zhao Xing clapped his hands, tossed aside the fish bone in his hand, and said, "I've arrived too."

"Do I no longer need to eat?" Xia Jing asked. "I have already reached the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm."

"You haven't absorbed enough of the Five Elements Water Luck yet." Zhao Xing observed Xia Jing's pillar of luck. "You can eat some more. Besides, it's not fun for Brother Ji to eat alone."

"Yes, why don't we have something to eat with Brother Ji?" Long Xiao chimed in, trying to provoke him.

"Get out of here!" Xia Jing thought with great hatred.

"Someone's here." Chen Shijie suddenly looked outside. "It's Pei Yuanchang."

"He came by the smell," Long Xiao said. "He arrived right after we harvested the crops."

"I'll go see him," Zhao Xing said, getting up. He didn't seem to care that Pei Yuanchang was watching him.

This is Pei Yuanchang's territory. It's normal for Pei Yuanchang to keep an eye on things while I'm operating here. If something goes wrong, how will he explain it to Liu Tianning?

When Pei Yuanchang was invited into Warm Bloom Shed, his eyes widened in astonishment.

In just a few hours, all five of them have reached the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm!

Xia Jing ate so much he threw up!

Looking down again, wow, what a sight!

Even the Mountain Cat is at the peak of the Heavenly Star Realm!

Even so, there are still quite a few live fish left!

"Brother Zhao! You've had a really big Bumper Harvest this time!"

"I was just about to send some to Brother Pei," Zhao Xing said with a smile, pointing to the two large fish baskets. "We haven't had time yet."

"You brought the fish here yourselves. I'm not here to rob you," Pei Yuanchang shook his head, indicating his refusal.

Although he was curious about how Zhao Xing managed to catch so many fish, he wouldn't bring it up.

Otherwise, it would be suspected of taking advantage of someone's power or seeking personal gain through favors.

Pei Yuanchang wouldn't do something like that.

He was already at the Fifth Grade of perfection, so he could only give this little bit of fish to his subordinates or use it as a favor.

"So, Brother Pei, you've come here to...?"

Pei Yuanchang said with a hint of expectation, "I came only to ask about the whereabouts of that Dragon Whale."
