Chapter 1391: Chapter 1390: The Greatest Secret of the Dragon Whisker Fish

In the depth of night, beside the bamboo grove where the old fisherman lived, whether it was Ye Tianchen, the fisherman, or Xiao Ling and Wang Luanxiang, they all unknowingly drifted into dreams. Surviving their journey from the Original Restricted Zone was not easy, and for them, after such a long period of tension, they could finally relax a bit.

However, at the pond beside the Small Bamboo Forest, a stone was acting sneakily. And in the cloth bag hanging beside it, there was something mischievous constantly giving reminders and ideas. No one knew what these two troublemakers were up to, because one of them was the God Beating Bowl and the other was Little Zhu Yan, both plotting the same thing.

”What do you mean you want to eat? You’re sealed in the bag and still want to come out? Ye Kid said he’d suppress you for a hundred days!” The God Beating Bowl thought of this and laughed.

Hearing the God Beating Bowl’s divine thought transmission, Little Zhu Yan was so angry it moved fiercely inside the bag, but alas, it was suppressed by Ye Tianchen, making it impossible to rush out to fight the God Beating Bowl. It could only grit its teeth and say, ”Stop the nonsense, quickly go catch a few. I suspect there’s a leader among the Dragon Whisker Fish, and if we can catch and eat it, that would be wonderful!”

”A leader among them?” The God Beating Bowl was startled and asked.

”Ha! You claim to be the world’s number one divine stone, and you don’t even know how powerful the Dragon Whisker Fish are?” Little Zhu Yan taunted the God Beating Bowl unkindly.

”What the heck do you mean by that? Dragon Whisker Fish are creatures born from absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Eating its flesh not only prolongs life but is crucial for enhancing the cultivation realm. It’s rumored that this fish once stayed by the side of the Immortal Dragon, and with great fortune, one might even comprehend some divine power of the Immortal Dragon. Am I wrong?” said the God Beating Bowl irritably.

Little Zhu Yan, still unimpressed, simply laughed mockingly in the bag and then said, ”That’s just what the average person knows about the Dragon Whisker Fish. There’s another story, one I’m sure you’ve never heard!”

”What story?” The God Beating Bowl couldn’t help but ask.

”This story... I only heard my father mention it by chance, and now I’m probably the only one who knows it!” Little Zhu Yan said with immense pride.

”Damn it, you’re the favored child here. I followed the Ancient War Emperor for so many years and never heard him mention it!” said the God Beating Bowl, a bit frustrated.

”Well, of course! You’re just a stone. The fact that my father treated you so well is already your great fortune!” Little Zhu Yan immediately scolded the God Beating Bowl.

The God Beating Bowl pursed its lips and said nothing further. It was indeed true. Back then, it was merely a stone, but the Ancient War Emperor didn’t treat it like other treasures; instead, he kept it by his side, nurturing it with powerful spiritual power, gradually granting it spiritual wisdom. It was only through countless years that it gained the awareness and cultivation it has today. It wasn’t easy, and the God Beating Bowl remembered the great kindness and virtue of the Ancient War Emperor. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have risked its life at a critical moment to save Little Zhu Yan. After all, Little Zhu Yan was the only child of the Ancient War Emperor, and the God Beating Bowl had the duty and obligation to protect it in gratitude.

”Alright, tell me the story. I’m going to catch some fish soon. Don’t let that strongest one get away!” the God Beating Bowl asked tentatively.

”No, first go catch a few, then help me break Ye Kid’s seal and let me out, then we’ll talk!” Little Zhu Yan immediately said.

”Damn, so you’ve been waiting for this moment. You want me to let you out? I dare not. Ye Kid is extremely tricky. If he finds out, he might suppress me along with you. I don’t want to spend a hundred days inhaling your waste. I’d kill myself!” the God Beating Bowl hastily refused.

”Fine, since you don’t want to eat the Dragon Whisker Fish, right? If not, I’ll just wake up that Ye brat right now!” Little Zhu Yan threatened the God Beating Bowl.

”Damn it, if we wake him, no one gets to eat, do as you please!” The God Beating Bowl replied through clenched teeth.

These two tricksters, always plotting against each other, each trying to use the other to get the most benefit for themselves, really leave people speechless. The God Beating Bowl wanted to learn the biggest secret about the Dragon Whisker Fish from Little Zhu Yan’s mouth, while Little Zhu Yan wanted the God Beating Bowl to conspire with it inside and out to lift the seal that Ye Tianchen had used to suppress it. If it really had to endure a hundred days of smelling its own filth, that truly would be more unbearable than being killed, it just couldn’t take it anymore!

”Fine, anyway I’m going to be suppressed for so long. If you, having just awakened your spiritual wisdom, eat this Dragon Whisker Fish, you might become even stronger. Otherwise, no matter how strong your spiritual wisdom, you’re just a stone!” Little Zhu Yan threatened the God Beating Bowl.

The God Beating Bowl was taken aback. Little Zhu Yan’s mischievous words indeed hit its heart, truly so. Staying by the side of the Ancient War Emperor, it had always received help from the Ancient War Emperor, and after so many long years, you could say millions of years, it was only in this life that it developed spiritual wisdom. This, for it, was truly not easy. It had only gained some intelligence and a bit of strength through its inherent toughness and divine skills. The God-beating Stone could strike anywhere directed, immortals couldn’t withstand it, but this was just its natural ability. For the God Beating Bowl, this was certainly not satisfying. If it were just about awakening intelligence yet still possessing this same power, those millions of years of effort would truly be wasted, and it would feel unworthy of Little Zhu Yan’s father, the cultivation of the Ancient War Emperor.

In this world, many creatures, after developing spiritual wisdom, strive further to cultivate and become absolutely powerful. The God Beating Bowl was no exception. It was originally just a stone with divine power. It wished to cultivate, to develop spiritual wisdom, and take another step towards great strength, even transforming into a human, becoming the mightiest Stone Man in the world, the strongest Divine Stone. This was the God Beating Bowl’s goal and ideal.

However, such cultivation was not easy. To give birth to spiritual wisdom in a cold stone was already no small feat. Take the God-beating Stone, for instance; it possessed divine power. Yet, even so, it took millions of years of effort to achieve today’s accomplishments and power. To transform into a human, a being of flesh and blood, that truly seemed incredible, almost impossible to achieve. If the God Beating Bowl wanted to accomplish this, it would need insight, perseverance, more heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even many kinds of immortal elixirs. This was a long journey requiring constant persistence, not something that could be achieved overnight. The God Beating Bowl naturally wanted to eat the Dragon Whisker Fish. In today’s martial arts world, finding a Dragon Whisker Fish was perhaps very difficult!

”Fine, first tell me the biggest secret about the Dragon Whisker Fish so that I can capture the strongest one, and then I’ll help you break the seal and escape this sack!” The God Beating Bowl, after thinking for a while, said.

Little Zhu Yan nodded inside the sack and then spoke: ”The Dragon Whisker Fish is not only a species full of spirituality but during the Mythical Era, powerful Dragon Whisker Fish swept through the heavens and became supreme in a region. That is a level unimaginable, but to this day, it seems difficult for such outstanding members to appear among the Dragon Whisker Fish species.”

”Can a Dragon Whisker Fish become a regional supreme? Could it reach a realm like an Emperor? How is that possible, it’s just a fish!” The God Beating Bowl said, skeptical.

”Damn it, you’re just a stone, aren’t you? Yet, you can hit wherever directed, and even immortals can’t withstand? Don’t underestimate other species!” Little Zhu Yan said irritably.

”Continue!” The God Beating Bowl said proudly.

”The Mythical Era, there is no need for me to elaborate much; you’ve learned a lot. During the Mythical Era, there was once a supreme being among the Dragon Whisker Fish, akin to the supreme ones among our Ancient Alien Race. This is something very few people know because this supreme of the Dragon Whisker Fish did not, like other supremes, spill blood upon the heavens and become famous. Instead, it took a different path and never returned. It’s unknown whether it succeeded or failed...” Little Zhu Yan said, pausing.

”The Mythical Era, with emperors vying for supremacy, is such a remote and difficult era to trace back to, an origin for the entire martial arts world, even more distant than the Ancient Times. In such a time, it’s unknown how many ancient supremes appeared, and the Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, only the Human Clan was somewhat weaker, yet it also gradually rose!” The God Beating Bowl said, reminiscing as if recounting history.

”The Dragon Whisker Fish tribe is rumored to have lived for generations beside the Immortal Dragon, thus absorbing much of the Immortal Dragon’s spiritual energy and uncovering some Immortal Dragon secrets. The Immortal Dragon is an immortal, supremely powerful throughout history, which needs no elaboration, right? Because of this, the spiritual wisdom of the Dragon Whisker Fish tribe was awakened, and some powerful Dragon Whisker Fish began cultivation. The one that became the supreme Dragon Whisker Fish, legend says, upon becoming supreme, it slew the Immortal Dragon, seizing the opportunity for the Immortal Dragon to enter the Immortal Domain, taking its place...” Little Zhu Yan said, furrowing its brow.

The God Beating Bowl was shocked. It truly hadn’t heard of this rumor before, leaving it somewhat dumbfounded. A Dragon Whisker Fish slaying an Immortal Dragon—is this something a fish could accomplish? (To be continued.
