Yun Yang was certain at once that this was a treasure, a superb treasure!
It was a pity that Yun Yang had worked hard for a whole day but there was nothing to show for it, not to mention any benefits.
It was midnight!
Yun Yang stood by the shore helplessly, looking at the Lunar River and could not help but sigh.
"This is obviously a massive treasure that's right in front of everyone's eyes!"
The struggle in Yun Yang's heart grew exponentially!
The feeling of entering a treasure trove and returning empty-handed was like a weed growing in Yun Yang's heart that could not be erased.
So what if it was? There was really nothing he could do!
Yun Yang had used all his tricks throughout the day. Water attribute, no, thunder attribute, no, blood attribute, fire attribute, no, wind and cloud attribute, no …
Unique cultivation methods were all useless. Yun Yang had even tried to use the purest mystical Qi to fuse with the grape's mystical Qi, but it still did not work!
Yun Yang had tried using brute force to grind it, even biting it with his mouth, using his sword, saber, and even storing it in his spatial ring, but it was all futile!
After confirming that he was helpless, Yun Yang had asked the Eclipse Panther to absorb it and Jiji to absorb it. If his pet beast could benefit from it, it would be the next best option, but it still did not work!
In the end, Yun Yang had no choice but to use Emmie's ultimate trick. To Yun Yang, Emmie was the nemesis of all kinds of energy in this world. Everything in the past had proven this point. Although it was a bit of a waste for Emmie to absorb it, it was still better for one of them to gain something than to miss it!
However, Yun Yang was filled with confidence as he waited for Emmie's good news and the leftover benefits that had leaked out, only to receive an extremely depressing answer.
"This is a power that doesn't belong to this world. The fishes in front of me aren't of this world either. They can't be absorbed or targeted."
Yun Yang was dumbfounded by Emmie's answer.
Doesn't belong to this world?
This answer explained why Emmie could not absorb it!
However, how was this an answer?
Doesn't belong to this world, but why am I seeing it here?
Is this not this world?
When Yun Yang wanted to ask again, he realized that Emmie had stopped talking.
He did not know that Emmie was feeling frustrated. Good stuff, really good stuff, but … I can only look at it, but I can't eat it. What is this? Were all the things in this world so varied?!
Could it be a fake?!
After a whole day of trying, Yun Yang finally decided to give up.
If he didn't give up, what else could he do? He had important matters to attend to, and he shouldn't stay here for even a day. Moreover, he had already used all the methods he could, and there was nothing he could do!
Even so, Yun Yang's heart was still broken and defeated.
After all, ever since Yun Yang had gone through the calamity of the Nine Supremes, his journey had been smooth sailing. Today, however, he had to return in defeat in front of a river and a school of fish. How could he be depressed, conflicted, defeated, and broken down?
In the time that followed, he cultivated the Holy Water Incantation as he traveled. However, as it was difficult for him to concentrate, the results of his cultivation were the worst he had ever achieved. After two whole days, he had only managed to cultivate to the middle of the second level of the Holy Water Incantation with the help of the Lunar River, which was a holy land for water cultivation.
Of course, if it had been someone else, the progress would not have been considered slow. Not only was it not slow, it could be said that it was shockingly fast. However, compared to Yun Yang who had so many mystical aids, it was very slow!
With Yun Yang's temperament and cultivation base, he should not have been so dispirited after a single setback. It was because he had encountered many of those huge fishes during the next two days of travel!
One of them was even bigger than the previous one, by a few times!
If the previous one was already a super giant fish, then this one was at least a super giant fish!
The core of this super fish was also a bunch of super big grapes, the biggest one among them reaching the size of three watermelons!
However …
Yun Yang felt that his Holy Water Incantation cultivation base had improved again, or perhaps it was because he was unwilling to give up, he tried to dive in and absorb it again, but it was still to no avail! As such, Yun Yang's frustration grew to a whole new level. He even felt that his depression had risen to a level that no one had ever experienced before!
From beginning to end, Yun Yang had encountered hundreds of these huge fishes with the energy cores in their stomachs.
Yun Yang believed that what he had encountered and seen was far from all of them; it was only what he had seen along the way. This stretch of water was only a little more than ten thousand miles while the entire Lunar River was a hundred and seventy-eight thousand miles long!
Each time he thought about the fishes he had encountered … as long as he had eaten any one of the grape cores in their bodies, his ability would have improved tremendously and his power would have increased tremendously. If he had eaten the core of the biggest fish, even just one of it would have been enough to make him invincible in the world!
He had encountered tens of thousands of treasures in total, but not only could he see them, touch them, and even capture them in his hands!
Yet, he could not truly keep them for his own use!
If it had been anyone else, they would have been frustrated, dispirited, or even broken down.
Yun Yang felt that he could be considered a genius for being able to cultivate to the second stage of Holy Water Charm under such a state of mind.
He felt good about himself, so good, so good that he could not be better … He actually wanted to cry, to cry out loud, to express the sorrow of entering a treasure trove and returning empty-handed. Even though the great joys and sorrows of life had come so suddenly, so inexplicably!
"This is still the Lunar River that the world knows of. Other than that, there are the more mysterious Solar River, Stellar Sea, and Lake of Wind and Cloud. I wonder what they look like?"
"One day, I'll find out what's going on and what the other three lands of Holy Water look like. I'll bring my brothers' wishes and see them one by one. "
The last time Yun Yang had said this, he had only wanted to look at the scenery. This time, however, Yun Yang had made up his mind.
The mystery within, I must, must be clear …
I must find out!
What a massive treasure!
…
While Yun Yang's attempts to obtain the energy of the exotic fishes were futile and frustrating, there was also a good thing – Yun Yang was now within the Empire of Ziyou's territory.
Indeed, Yun Yang had arrived at Ziyou's territory within these two days.
There was a reason why he could arrive at his destination so swiftly. With Yun Yang's Holy Water Charm cultivation base, his movement speed as a unit of water movement was far slower than that of wind or cloud. However, when Yun Yang had tried to obtain the exotic energy from the giant fishes, he would always look for them that were heading towards the Empire of Ziyou. Yun Yang, who was residing in the belly of the giant fishes, was also gradually approaching the Empire of Ziyou. Furthermore, the speed of the giant fishes was not only far faster than Yun Yang's water movement, it was no slower than Yun Yang's full speed in his wind manifestation!
"I've entered the Empire of Ziyou's territory. In other words, I'm now less than seven thousand miles away from the Empire of Ziyou's capital, Zilong City …" Yun Yang confirmed the terrain beneath him and calculated, "There's still less than seven thousand miles."
Honestly, if he had a choice, Yun Yang really did not want to come out of the water and step onto land.
There were so many giant fishes and so many cores!
A great opportunity was right before his eyes. It was because of the Holy Water Charm that he had encountered such mystical energy. It was obviously his opportunity, but why did he not get any of it in the end?
Thinking about it, Yun Yang felt like he was about to break down again.
"Forget it. Since the beginning of time, no one has ever discovered the secret of the Lunar River, let alone the fact that there are fishes in it! There aren't even any legends related to it … It won't be discovered in these few days. This opportunity is a secret that I've obtained alone. I should focus on what's in front of me. When the trip to Ziyou is over, I'll think about the follow-up to this matter! "
Yun Yang pondered for a moment and no longer hesitated. He turned into a breeze and advanced in the air. He really did not want to be agitated like this now. It was already too many times for him to go through it again and again!
"I'll come back in the future anyway!"
…
Yun Yang traveled leisurely in the air. After about seven to eight hundred miles, he suddenly realized that there was a three-story ship with bulging sails on the surface of the Lunar River not far in front of him. It was moving swiftly on the surface of the water as if it was flying.
Not only was the ship moving at an unusually fast speed, it was also more than a hundred times larger than ordinary ships that traveled on the surface of the water!
It was a thousand feet wide and three thousand feet long. Just the pitch-black, hundreds of feet long horn at the bow of the ship was like a monster galloping on the surface of the water.
It was a pity that Yun Yang did not care about the gigantic ship at all. Yun Yang had seen too many big fellows in the past two days, so he did not feel that the ship was huge at all. Was it huge? It was not even as big as a fish, yet it was called big!
More importantly, Yun Yang knew this ship and knew its background and history!
Putting a certain someone's new horizons aside, this gigantic three-story ship was rare even in the entire world. It could even be considered the world's largest ship. The reason for this recognition was that this ship originally belonged to the Empire of Yutang.
Back then, Yutang's founding emperor had spent twenty years and the entire nation's resources to build three gigantic ships of the same type and model!
As for the materials used to build these three gigantic ships, even the most inconspicuous piece of wood was the Star Hemlock, which was said to be indestructible for tens of thousands of years!
It could be said that even if such a ship were to be left idle for hundreds or thousands of years, it would still be as bright as new, its splendor undiminished!
