Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 250 Ran Yi Upgrades, Leaving the Dream Realm
Who will continue to silently protect Shuiwozi and take care of Zhao Guangxi in his place?
Although Guangxi is mature and steady, he is, after all, a child without a father and has little to rely on.

Therefore, in Feng Lao's view, Chen Shunan was the best candidate to succeed him.

Older, more experienced, and quite capable...

That's right, it seems that even at his age, his heart is still not at peace.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to still be harboring some unrealistic ideas.

Chen Shunan remained silent, but he vaguely understood what Elder Feng was thinking.

Old Feng chuckled softly and pointed towards the western mountains, saying...

"The Grandmaster's Record left by Grandmaster Tie Yu is actually the story of the dragon walking on water three hundred years ago! Because Grandmaster Tie Yu was still thinking about this matter before he died, his thought came true. Not only did it form a dragon-shaped iron ore vein, but anyone who steps into the iron ore to participate in the Grandmaster's Record will also be dragged into the events of three hundred years ago!"

"Go and experience that calamity firsthand, face countless powerful demons, and survive under the breath of dragons... until the calamity ends, or perhaps you can find the remnant of the Grandmaster left behind by Tie Yu."

"It's horrible, truly a living hell. Even Master Tie was seriously injured and went into seclusion back then, let alone an ordinary True Intent martial artist?"

Old Feng's face was icy cold as he pointed to his half-human, half-tree mutilated body and said,

"Although I was lucky enough to escape with my life, my martial arts heart was destroyed by that dragon, which is why I ended up like this."

Is the Grandmaster's Manual really that dangerous?

They actually captured historical events, transformed them into illustrated records, and even confronted that dragon directly?!

Zhao Guangxi had not discussed this in detail before.

A hint of seriousness flashed across Chen Shunan's eyes.

After a while.

Watching Chen Shunan leave with a face full of worry, a hint of ruthlessness and indifference flashed in Feng Lao's eyes.

He was threatening Chen Shunan.

In warfare, winning hearts and minds is of paramount importance.

By informing Chen Shunan of the dangers of the Grandmaster's Manual in advance, he essentially kept Chen Shunan on his mind all this time, reinforcing the impression that the Grandmaster's Manual was extremely dangerous.

At best, it will hinder combat power; at worst, if something goes wrong in the Grandmaster's Manual, he will end up like Elder Feng.

This is actually the reason why Zhao Guangxi and others did not tell the Grandmaster's Manual the inside story and specific information in detail beforehand.

What's the point of knowing so much?
When you encounter it, you'll naturally understand.

"Little Chen, don't blame me for being ruthless. Rather than striving for a Grandmaster position that is as illusory as a mirage and almost impossible, it's better to be down-to-earth, work diligently, and protect the Zhao family's legacy."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Old Feng looked down at the spot where he was sitting, as still as a statue.

……

"Old Feng is indeed old."

Back at Mianyi Residence, Chen Shunan dined with Wan Niang and Qing Chen. After nightfall, he took some dried medicine and bait and went to the crossroads to find Yin Shusheng, Tun Mengzi, and three fish and one insect.

Chen Shunan was well aware of Feng Lao's thoughts.

He didn't seem to show much joy or anger.

Feng Lao's psychological warfare strategy was subtle and left no trace. Moreover, upon closer examination, it was equivalent to revealing a secret to Chen Shun'an.

Chen Shunan should be grateful to him!

If one day, as Elder Feng envisioned, Chen Shunan's martial arts heart shattered in the Grandmaster's Manual, and his corpse energy backfired, turning him into a fleshy spirit mushroom, and he ended up guarding an ancient well.

Chen Shunan was like a mute swallowing bitter herbs, unable to express his suffering.

After all, Elder Feng did not harm him; it was all because Chen Shunan's Dao heart was not firm.

Moreover, it's possible that by then, Elder Feng might have already passed away.

Chen Shunan couldn't find anyone to take revenge on.

"That old man is really wicked. Once I truly become a martial arts grandmaster, I'll definitely show off in front of you for a few days and scare you a bit!"

Chen Shunan was extremely petty. Although he showed no anger or joy on his face, he still noted it down in his ledger.

As the twelfth lunar month approaches, many houses along the way are decorated with paper-cut window decorations. The larger ones feature characters from stories such as "Lotus Brings a Noble Son" and "Two Immortals of Harmony," while the smaller ones depict small animals like kittens, puppies, and roosters.

It already has a festive atmosphere reminiscent of the Chinese New Year.

After entering the water, Chen Shunan traveled for dozens of miles, gradually arriving at a desolate, uninhabited area deep in the reeds.

This area is located between the Sanchakou and Funiushuize, and not many people usually travel through it.

Of course, the waters of Funiu Lake have been sealed off by the government and the Wuqing Sticky Rod Office.

The reason is that the demonic aura has not dissipated and the blood energy is soaring, and ordinary people may be harmed if they get close.

After much deliberation, Chen Shunan decided to abandon the water mansion left behind by General Huang.

After all, it's not far from the Sancha River, and recently, the government has declared that the great demon is no longer a threat.

This, on the contrary, led to a significant increase in the number of martial artists who dared to emerge from the water to slay demons and achieve merit.

There are almost no fish left at the fork in the river!

Chen Shunan floated quietly on the bottom of the reed marsh. After a while, the Silver Scholar and the Golden Scale Girl arrived quickly.

During this time, the two fish stopped searching for treasure, but they were not idle either. They were also secretly hunting water monsters and eating their flesh for nourishment.

The scholar, who did not abstain from meat, grew from the thickness of chopsticks and a foot in length to the thickness of a thumb and a foot and a half in length.

That's already quite an improvement.

As for Jinlinmei, she hasn't changed much. After all, she is a dragon species, also known as the "Chaotianlong" (Heavenly Dragon), and has the ability to change one's fate. Without the right opportunity, it would be difficult for her to make further progress, let alone transform into a demon and truly embark on the path of cultivation.

As for the Golden-Headed Tyrant, it has already gone into hibernation, listlessly sleeping in the mouth of the Golden-Scaled Girl all day long, using her mouth as its nest.

Chen Shunan distributed the medicinal herbs and bait he brought to the two fish, Yin Shusheng and Jinlinmei, in proportion, as an extra food supplement and also to collect some wish tokens.

"Huh? Why hasn't Tunmengzi arrived yet?" Chen Shunan looked towards the fork in the road with some surprise.

Given the speed at which Tun Mengzi breaks through the waves, he should theoretically be the first to arrive.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

Chen Shunan then noticed the surging waves, and a gray figure swam from the deep water, landing in front of him.

"Please forgive me, God, I am late."

The dolphin remained motionless from the waist down, poking its head out and nodding as a greeting to the silver scholar and the golden-scaled girl.

Then, somewhat apologetically, he explained...

“That human surnamed Lu found a batch of materials for piling, and the two of us escorted them all the way to the Funiu River... but they refused to accept them.”

"Oh?"

Chen Shunan was somewhat surprised and said,
"But Zhang Ju complained that the material wasn't strong enough to make it difficult to drive the piles?"

"Not only that, it also said that these materials are crude and cheap, not treasures. Even the worst ones should be gilded and inlaid with beads. It would be best to get a few magical artifacts for driving the pile..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant.

Could it be that Zhang Ju thinks the 'price' for these materials is too low, and that it won't be enough to cover compensation during future demolition?
As expected of the demons of the Holy Dynasty, they've really mastered the art of compensation, with so many ingenious tricks up their sleeves!
Chen Shunan was naturally very envious of that giant treasure.

On one hand, I'm craving its body.

Even a single red scale of its contains a considerable amount of "Separated Fire Qi," which surges and churns, tempering Chen Shun'an's body.

If we could also bring Zhang Ju into my Shuiyuan sect and make him a believer?

Isn't that just giving away whatever you want?
And there's also that sea eye!
Although Chen Shunan was not yet clear about the benefits of possessing that sea eye, he decided to take the plunge and see what happens first, which did not stop him from secretly coveting that sea eye.

After all, even the immortal destiny containing the essence of 'mysterious Dao Water Element' can become the cornerstone for building the trinity of the divine palace.

Not to mention that it is a sea eye created by the heavens and earth.

All that entered the water belonged to Chen Shun'an!

He, Chen Shunan, was simply picking up the treasures he had once lost.

"I will also keep an eye on the piling materials."

Chen Shunan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then took out the dried medicine, bait, and a jar of Xinfeng wine belonging to Tunmeng.

Then, looking at the three fish in front of him, who had received a reward and were beaming with joy, circling around him.

Chen Shunan always had the illusion that he was raising three 'travel frogs'.

However, there is still a major task to be done today.

"Protect me, and do not approach this place without my command."

Upon hearing this, the three fish immediately formed a triangular protective formation and swam away to keep watch over their surroundings.

Chen Shunan sank to the bottom of the river, his thoughts racing, and he summoned the precious edict.

[Wish: 1812]

Without hesitation, he decisively transformed his thousand points of wish into ten points of divine power and invested them into the Divine Image: Two-Legged Ran Yi Fish.

Instantly, the imperial edict shone with golden light, its brilliance dazzling.

[Divine Physiognomist - Two-Legged Ran Yi Fish, Advancement]

【Four-legged Ran Yi Fish: Mud ball with golden lotus, scales turn into water, can enlighten the intelligence of aquatic creatures and cleanse their bodies of impurities】

[After creating a golden body for the Ran Yi Fish and inviting the Divine Palace, you can invest 20 points of divine power to upgrade it to the Mountain and Sea Ran Yi Fish: a wild and exotic species, an innate ferocious god, capable of generating the 'Dream Realm' within its belly, which haunts those who fall into it with nightmares, a cycle of retribution, and endless reincarnation.]

A primordial evil spirit, departing from the dream realm?

This thing looks a bit like the eighteen levels of hell. Could it be used as a tool in the religion to discipline and admonish believers?
Chen Shunan made the connection with this.

Moreover, not only that...

Without giving him a chance to think further.

'Moo moo moo...'

The sound, like a cow's moo, came again.

The Ran Yi fish swam out from between Chen Shun'an's eyebrows.

Ran Yiyu, whose eyes had been lifeless, now had a fierce look in them.

With a fish's body and a snake's head, four legs, and a length of five feet, it truly resembles a small dragon at first glance.

As he swam in the water, his body shimmered with light, and in an instant, all his scales grew back, restoring his original number of 109.

Seeing this, Chen Shunan, the skinflint, was even secretly relieved that he hadn't wasted the [Separation Chamber Fire Qi] to help it recover its scales ahead of time!

Although the scales recovered through the advancement to the Divine Realm are an extra benefit and cannot be replicated.

But Chen Shunan, who was used to being frugal, felt that every little bit saved was a good thing!

The four-legged Ran Yi fish swam around Chen Shunan a few times, perhaps vaguely sensing Chen Shunan's exploitation.

Suddenly, it flicked its tail and charged fiercely at Chen Shunan, as if it wanted to knock him over!

Before Chen Shunan could react, the four-legged Ran Yi fish transformed into a beam of divine light and fell directly into his Niwan acupoint.

The narrow, previously unopened Niwan acupoint was suddenly stretched open, and Chen Shunan felt as if his brain core was about to explode. He felt a tearing pain coming from the depths of his true spirit.

In terms of pain, it even far exceeded the time when Qing Ji was promoted and his tendons and meridians were stretched.

"Ran Yiyu, you son of a bitch! I'll f*** you!!!"

The water was deep and oppressive, and when Chen Shunan opened his mouth, gurgling bubbles came out.
