I became an immortal by synthesizing plants.

Not long after, Master Baimai explained, "Legend has it that these Azure Carp possess the bloodlines of Qilin and True Dragon. Once they leap to the second heaven, they will transform into Qilin and True Dragon."

No matter how Chen Qingshan looked at them, he couldn't see that these green carp had the bloodline of a Qilin or a real dragon.

While it may look somewhat appealing, it's impossible to reach the second level with just that.

"Are there any successful cases of these Azure-scaled Carp?" Chen Qingshan asked, puzzled. He thought that a spirit beast with the bloodlines of two divine beasts should be quite famous.

But how come he didn't know anything about it?

"No, the teleportation is just a legend. Most of these Azure Scaled Carp are only at the second or third rank. A very small number have been collected by Golden Core True Persons within the clan and raised to the fourth rank, but they are only used as decorations," explained True Person Bai Mai.

Chen Qingshan was somewhat convinced that these azure carp, which bravely leaped into the clouds, possessed the bloodline of divine beasts.

However, it is impossible to leap to the second level by relying solely on oneself.

"Is no one in the clan able to take them to the Second Heaven?"

"Yes, but anyone who takes it there will die. No matter what level they are, their bodies will all explode. So not many people in the clan have tried it."

Master Baimai spoke eloquently, and as he spoke, the two could no longer see the azure carp.

Suddenly, Chen Qingshan spotted a blue-scaled carp with yellowish-brown scales leaping up from below the clouds.

"It looks like it's about to fly up," Chen Qingshan said in surprise.

Master Baimai looked at the approaching Azure Carp and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, countless blue-scaled carp leaped up from all directions, surging towards the earth-yellow blue-scaled carp.

In an instant, a blue rainbow bridge rose from the earth.

This miraculous scene caused countless cultivators heading to the second heaven to stop and witness this rare sight.

Many cultivators also took out photo stones to commemorate the occasion, including Master Baimai.

The cyan rainbow bridge gradually approached the yellowish-brown cyan-scaled carp.

The yellowish-brown Qinglin carp stared intently at the clouds above, but it also sensed the presence of the blue rainbow bridge.

It had already awakened a bit of intelligence when it was at the first level. After the third and fourth level Azure Scale Carp in the clan learned of this, they supported it with their not-so-rich resources. Even some of their own kind who had not yet awakened their intelligence would often bring it some low-grade spiritual herbs and fruits to feed it.

This allowed it to evolve to the third tier in a very short time.

As it grew, it realized that if it could not successfully leap to the second level and completely shed its mixed blood, then the Azure Carp clan would no longer have descendants like it, and would become just an ordinary spirit fish, continuing to squeeze into a small body of water with other aquatic creatures.

This was its first leap into the clouds, and also its last; the higher it soared, the deeper the abyss became.

If you fall, you'll be smashed to pieces; there's no way back.

The same is true for the blue carp that form the rainbow bridge; they have no way out.

The blue rainbow bridge is getting higher and higher, and it is already very close to the yellowish-brown blue carp.

The moment the yellowish-brown azure carp leaped out of the clouds, it felt what despair was. The clouds that its entire clan had desperately leaped up were only one-tenth of the journey to the second heaven.

In an instant, its aura fluctuated, and its speed decreased accordingly.

Fortunately, the azure rainbow bridge arrived, carrying it on its way to the second heaven.

It saw its kin who used to gather resources for it, and it also saw the fourth-tier Azure Carp elder who protected it from harm.

Their eyes held a resolute determination and a fearless spirit.

At the same time, his eyes showed most of his satisfaction and optimism for the yellowish-brown carp.

"Don't look back, don't bow your head, break free from the shackles that bind us."

A fifth-tier Azure Scaled Carp King suddenly appeared, carrying it as it flew towards the second heaven.

For tens of thousands of years, countless azure carp have set out from the waters and rushed toward the second heaven, only to be shattered to pieces without exception.

Once they leap out of the water, they can no longer use magic or spiritual power. However, as they ascend, their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth deepens. This is both a constraint imposed by the laws of heaven and earth and a blessing bestowed upon them by them.

When they had traveled three-tenths of the way, it began to rain down blue carp from the sky.

Countless exhausted blue carp fell into the earth, turning into nutrients to give back to heaven and earth.

The width of the rainbow bridge is shrinking, and the number of blue carp leaping from the ground is also decreasing; the rainbow bridge is no longer taking shape.

"Go, leap again, we believe in you!" The fifth-tier Azure Scaled Carp used its remaining strength to propel the yellowish-brown Azure Scaled Carp a distance before plummeting straight towards the ground.

The yellowish-brown carp with green scales did not turn back, but leaped again.

It already knew the fate of its kin, but it couldn't grieve now. If it couldn't successfully leap to the second level, then the sacrifices of these billions of kin would have been in vain.

Millions of blue carp fell to the ground.

The fifth-tier Azure Carp died; the gravity exerted by the laws of heaven and earth crushed it to death.

None of the blue carp that built the rainbow bridge survived.

When the earth-yellow Qinglin carp was halfway to the second heaven, the Wind Dao Golden Core cultivators of the Peach Gold Chen Clan couldn't bear it and stirred up gusts of wind.

Feeling the help again, the Azure Carp flicked its tail and rose up as a beam of azure light.

With about three-tenths of the journey remaining, the yellowish-brown carp slowed down, seemingly exhausted.

It was unwilling to accept that it had sacrificed so many of its kind, yet hadn't even reached the boundary of the second heaven.

Driven by its unwillingness to give up, it swung its tail again and charged toward the second heaven.

Countless Golden Core cultivators put away their recording stones, unwilling to document the fall of the Azure Carp that had tried to defy fate.

With only two-tenths of the journey remaining, the yellowish-brown carp was completely exhausted, and it desperately tried to continue twisting its body forward.

But it was completely exhausted, and it could barely keep its eyelids open, let alone twist its more than three-meter-long body.

Those Golden Core cultivators who used the Wind Dao Secret Technique also suffered a backlash from heaven and earth, and could only helplessly watch the Azure Scaled Carp slow down more and more.

The earthen-yellow Qinglin carp stared in despair at the boundary of the second heaven. Its despair stemmed not only from the loss of countless kin and the inability to touch the boundary of the second heaven, but also from the fact that it had been definitively confirmed that the Qinglin carp could only be relegated to the status of an ordinary spirit fish.

Suddenly, a warm, large hand lifted it up and gently pushed it.

"I accept the consequences of your actions," Chen Qingshan said with a smile.

Upon hearing the sound, the yellowish-brown carp turned around and glanced at Chen Qingshan before resolutely continuing its charge towards the second level of heaven.

A phantom of a blue Qilin, running between heaven and earth, slowly appeared on the earth-yellow Qinglin carp, carrying it swiftly towards the boundary of the second heaven.

The moment Chen Qingshan moved, Master Baimai knew what was about to happen, and he took out another recording stone to capture the moment.

The people in the second heaven also noticed this scene and turned their heads to look.

After the earth-yellow Qinglin carp soared into the second heaven, it was enveloped in a cloud of mist and instantly grew four limbs, undergoing a tremendous change in its body.

After the clouds and mist dissipated, a blue Qilin appeared.

A golden auspicious cloud drifted in from the endless mist, and all the creatures and cultivators present felt an inexplicable joy, knowing that the origin of this auspicious cloud was "Heaven and Earth's Blessing".

The auspicious cloud drifted down onto the Azure Carp, making it appear even more divine and handsome.

This azure carp was also given the name "Azure Cloud Qilin" by Heaven and Earth.

It is also the world's first Azure Cloud Qilin.
