Chapter 375: The Peculiar Lunar River

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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.

You were all fish, why kill each other so fervently?

A while later, Yun Yang found out something else, something that challenged his understanding once again.

After Yun Yang saw the big fish and the elegantly brutal huge fish, he found the third odd fish. The third one was the same color and appearance as the Lunar River’s water. Small ones were the length of an arm while larger ones were like a huge python. The peculiarity about this fish was that they moved along the bank.

Young weeds that had just sprouted or small fish and shrimps that were under the water by the bank were all eaten by these fish, without exception…

The third species of fish existed like the presence of an innate scavenger to clean the detritus of the Lunar River’s riverside.

They moved straight ahead. Once they were full, they moved forward, wagging their tails and would eat again when they were hungry. Behind them, there were countless members of the same species that stopped to eat and moved when they were full, repeating the endless cycle…

In spite of this, no matter how big these fish got, even as big as a ship, they would not be discovered. It was like they had melted, becoming one with the water.

Thrilled, Yun Yang tried to touch the third species of fish but was shocked to realize that his hand went right through their body. There was no feeling of touch and what was more unbelievable was that the fish had no sense of it.

Yun Yang then exclaimed at the fact that if he had not turned into Lunar River’s water, he might never have realized that this river actually housed so many mysterious giants!

"Nothing is too strange in this big, big world indeed. The mystery and fantasy of the creations are limitless!" Yun Yang exclaimed yet again in his heart.

Since the beginning of time, a lot of people knew that the Lunar River was very mysterious but nobody knew what the actual mystery of it was. No one could have expected that Lunar River’s mystery was actually right before their own eyes, yet the entire world remained oblivious to it!

Now, Yun Yang had discovered it by accident!

Yun Yang was not sure if he was the first one to discover this secret – he might not even be the second. After all, there was someone else who cultivated Holy Water Charm and had entered the Lunar River before him – his fourth sister, Supreme Water!

If fourth sister knew this secret, then his eldest brother Supreme Earth should know about it too.

The only regret was that it was useless knowing this secret. Yun Yang had tried, yet when he had touched the strange fish with his own hands, he could not catch it. What benefit could it garner whether one knew this secret or not?

Perhaps this was also why the eldest brother and fourth sister did not tell the rest of their brothers about Lunar River’s peculiarity, even when they knew it.

"It’s only one Lunar River, but it holds so many secrets. Even when it has been in front of everyone for so long, nobody sees it as it is. Then… what about the Solar River? Stellar Sea? Lake of Wind and Cloud? What would they be like?"

Yun Yang who felt his vision had widened, could not help but ponder about these mysterious locations that shared the fame of the Lunar River. Since they could be as famous, they must have plenty of mysteries as well.

Yun Yang suddenly had the impulse to investigate. Then, he finally understood the meaning behind what Supreme Earth had said.

Apart from his emotions, he must also have truly wished to see the mysterious and peculiar places of this world.

"In the future, I shall step foot in all these lands of wonder…" Yun Yang said quietly, "Taking with me our shared wish."

As time passed, Yun Yang grew increasingly curious about the Lunar River. He realized that the Lunar River’s water was silky and extremely cold. It also had a peculiar attribute; if it were to be directed into other passages, it would turn into ordinary water and become normal water again.

The quality of Lunar River’s water could be said to be utterly pure and clean. Directing it outside, there would not be even half a shrimp floating in it.

It was as if every living creature in the area of the Lunar River could only reside in it.

No other water source that existed outside the Lunar River could be allowed in.

The water current beside him trembled softly and Yun Yang saw a gigantic fish – one so humongous that he had never seen it before.

This fish was at least three hundred and seventy to three hundred and eighty feet long and over two hundred feet wide; it was swimming over lazily.

Before this, Yun Yang had encountered gigantic fish before. Even when they met face to face, it was like no one had seen each other and the touch did not occur, slowing drifting apart. Therefore, when Yun Yang saw this humongous fish, he did was not entirely shocked despite still being baffled.

This time though, something unexpected happened.

Yun Yang realized in bewilderment that the stream of water he had turned into was being sucked into the mouth of that humongous fish, into its stomach, then… spurted out again with a loud 'hoo'.

"So… huge! F*ck! How unlucky!" Yun Yang exclaimed before he swore with a black face.

He quickly understood what had happened. It was also because he knew what was happening that he was proclaiming his misfortune; a certain someone was being swallowed from the front by the humongous fish only to be spurted out from the back…

The entire process was smooth; even the giant fish did not realize what it had swallowed and spurted out...
