Han Sanhe and Yun Yang waited with bated breath.
Yun Yang, who was under the water, had already dived into the deeper waters soundlessly.
Like a large fish, he swam leisurely in the deep waters, moving more nimbly than when he was on land.
This was not an illusion. Once Yun Yang entered the deep waters, he could feel the difference. He did not feel suffocated or uncomfortable underwater; instead, he felt at ease, safe and joyful.
The lake water around him seemed to have become a part of him; there was no longer any gap between them. In the water, he breathed freely, his limbs moved according to his will, and the harmony was indescribable.
In fact, Yun Yang felt that he was even more comfortable on the ground right now.
Every pore on his body showed a comfortable feeling, as if they had been opened. He could do whatever he wanted with just a thought. As he reached out his hand, he traveled more than a thousand feet at the bottom of the lake without making a sound.
There was not even the slightest movement in the water beside him.
It was already a rare miracle, but not only did the fishes around Yun Yang not avoid him, they even swam around him to keep him company, but they maintained a certain distance from him. It was a strict suppression of their levels.
When he did not exude his aura, all the schools of fish that he met as he swam were silently escorting him, or rather, they were lining up to welcome him.
The feeling was marvelous; perhaps, it was an indescribable sense of wonder.
Suddenly, a rainbow shadow flashed and a Kirin Fish appeared in front of him. It gently swayed its tail as if it was confirming something. Then, with a wave of its tail, it rushed into his arms and swam back and forth in his arms. From time to time, it would rub its face and body against his, full of joy.
Yun Yang flashed a sincere, gentle smile, his heart growing calmer. Following the flow, he dove down quickly.
At this point, many of the rainbow silhouettes had been attracted by the strange fragrance and were about to be unable to resist it. However, when Yun Yang arrived, all of them followed him back without exception, swimming towards the deep waters without any hesitation.
"The Thousand Feet Lake is indeed as bottomless as the rumors say … How is this just a thousand feet?" Yun Yang dived all the way down, but he still could not see the bottom of the lake even after several thousand feet.
After a while, Yun Yang was shocked to realize that there was a bottomless abyss under the lake.
About four to five thousand feet into the abyss, he could see other Qilin Fish swimming about.
Another three thousand feet down, there were more and more Kirin Fish. They swam back and forth like many rainbows dancing and lingering in the air.
There were even a few Qirin Fish that swam out and wiggled around Yun Yang, as if expressing their closeness.
Yun Yang chuckled. He had yet to reach the bottom of the abyss, but he could already see a huge hole on the side. Countless Qirin Fish were swimming in and out of it. That should be the nest of the Qirin Fish.
Based on Yun Yang's estimation, the number of Qilin Fish here was shocking; there were at least a thousand of them!
The largest Qilin Fish that he had caught earlier finally appeared. When its gaze met Yun Yang's, it became lively and rushed over, rubbing its lips against Yun Yang's face with indescribable joy.
Yun Yang realized that the Qilin Fish that he had let go did not appear sickly or weak after spitting out their essence. Instead, they had grown much bigger.
Although it had only been a short time, their bodies had grown at least twice as big as before!
It seemed that the Qi of vitality that he had given them was indeed what the Qilin Fish needed. It was even their favorite and most effective supplement!
Yun Yang wanted to communicate with the Qilin Fish at once, but then he realized that even though he was compatible with the water, he was still a human after all. How could the Qilin Fish understand his words?
Due to the language barrier, Yun Yang released his deific consciousness in an attempt to communicate with the Qilin Fish.
Deific consciousness was an ability that all living beings who cultivated in this world could obtain. It was the same for humans and fishes. With the Qilin Fish King's level, it might even possess deific consciousness.
Sensing Yun Yang's deific consciousness, the Qilin Fish King was stunned for a moment. Its tail stopped moving and it lifted its head to look at Yun Yang, deep in thought.
Then, Yun Yang's deific consciousness received a message of "???".
Yun Yang could not help but be overjoyed.
Could it really be like this?
The Qilin Fish King had cultivated deific consciousness?
Although he was not sure if the Qilin Fish King had deific consciousness, this was not the main point at the moment. Yun Yang communicated with the deific consciousness once more, "The anglers above have ill intentions. The unique fragrance is a bait. Don't go up and try to control yourselves in the future. Don't go up and eat the things that suddenly appear. No matter how many good things there are up there, don't be tempted. Good things that fall from the sky must be accompanied by danger.
If you can't resist it, you'll lose your life! "After communicating with the fish seven to eight times, the Qilin Fish King seemed to have understood. It flipped its body in the water angrily, its tail coming out with a splash.
Then, the Qilin Fish King opened its mouth. Yun Yang could feel a strange frequency emanating from it.
Then …
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Countless Qilin Fish gathered from all directions. Even some Qilin Fish that were only the length of a thumb and might have just hatched came over, forming a black mass.
Yun Yang, who was floating in the water, could not help but gape as he watched the mystical scene unfold.
The King Fish was floating high on a rock, as if it was sitting on a throne. Below it was a crowd of Kirin Fish. The biggest ones were at the front, and the rest were lined up according to their size. It was very orderly, and there was not the slightest bit of chaos.
At the very back were the newly born fish seedlings.
All the Qilin Fish were lined up neatly and tidily, lifting their heads to look at the Qilin Fish King above.
Then, the Qilin Fish began to lecture. Yun Yang did not know what exactly it said, but he could feel the strange frequency fluctuating continuously.
However, he did not understand a single word.
Just because he could not understand it did not mean that the fish could not as well. The fishes below swayed their tails uneasily. After another wave of fluctuation, all the Qilin Fish dispersed.
All the Qilin Fish that weighed less than five to six catties were chased into the water flow inside the cave while the larger Qilin Fish stayed nearby. There were actually eight Qilin Fish that weighed dozens of catties swimming back and forth at the entrance of the cave, but they never left the direction of the cave. Once other Qilin Fish swam there, they would be chased back immediately.
Yun Yang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The Qilin Fish could actually do this?
This was no different from humans setting up their armies and waiting for battle.
Whether the Qilin Fish King had cultivated deific consciousness or not, the fact that the Qilin Fish possessed such high intelligence meant that it lived up to its reputation as a heaven and earth species. It was extraordinary indeed.
Yun Yang had achieved his goal. After this incident, Han Sanhe would definitely have no chance.
Naturally, Yun Yang was about to return.
Before Yun Yang left, he had informed the Qilin Fish King with his deific consciousness, telling it that he wanted to return.
The Qilin Fish King panicked, appearing in front of Yun Yang with a swoosh to block his way. Its tail swayed wildly before it bumped its large head against Yun Yang's chest.
"You're not letting me go? Or do you have some other idea? "Yun Yang pointed at his own nose.
The Qilin Fish King sent out a vague thought before it nudged Yun Yang with its head, pulling him backwards.
"You want to bring me somewhere?" Yun Yang could vaguely understand what was going on.
Turning around, he swam in the direction of the Qilin Fish King. The Qilin Fish King hopped happily before it came to Yun Yang with a swish of its tail, leading him towards the other end.
After a while, it would turn back to look. Seeing that Yun Yang was still following, it twisted its body happily and led the way again.
Yun Yang followed the Qilin Fish King and had unknowingly swum dozens of miles.
His surroundings grew darker. If Yun Yang was not in sync with the water now, even moving would be a problem. Along the way, he did not even come across a Qilin Fish, much less an ordinary fish.
However, the further they walked, the wider the lake became. Yun Yang even suspected that the Thousand Feet Lake was actually connected to the ocean, judging from the way they were walking.
Not only was the water getting wider, but the walls of the cave were also getting weirder and weirder. The King Fish's body was shining brightly, but it couldn't emit any light at all. It was all dark and grey.
After a while, a faint light appeared in front of them. Yun Yang could not help but feel invigorated. Although Yun Yang did not care much about his surroundings, as long as he was human, he would prefer a place with light. No one liked pure darkness.
The Qilin Fish King increased its speed as well, swimming forward with a swoosh.
Finally …
After passing through a patch of water plants that looked like ribbons, Yun Yang felt a sudden brightness in front of him.
When Yun Yang came here, he realized that the water level was only above his knees. It did not affect him standing up and walking. However, the Qilin Fish King's body was relatively large, so it had to swim with its body flat to maintain its movement in such shallow water. For its current size, it was rather arduous.
Yun Yang raised his head and looked into the distance. Right in front of him, there was a black stone platform that was only slightly protruding from the water. There was only a strange rock with a pit in the middle on the stone platform. As for the pit, there was nothing at all.
The Qilin Fish King supported itself up with its tail with difficulty.
It turned its head and gestured to Yun Yang.
Yun Yang was taken aback but he did not hesitate, wading through the water. When he came to the front of the strange rock and studied it carefully, he realized that the pit was not completely empty. There was a faint layer of mist that was emitting rainbow colors within.
It was really just a thin layer. As long as it was a little further away, it would not be visible.
