Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 370 - 349: Mountain Master of Muyang Mountain
Wang Wu generously allocated one-third of the Purple Ling Grass.
Ensuring every big carp could share a little.
As for Eighth Grade Spirit Grass, even a little can have a strong effect.
A group of big carps surrounded Wang Wu, constantly leaping out of the water, splashing happily.
After taking the Purple Ling Grass, their transformation was astonishing. Although they couldn’t condense a Demon Pill, their bodies grew stronger and more agile, with significant increases in blood and flesh density, bone strength, and internal organ strength.
Specifically, this means Life Value, Physical Strength, Agility, Power, and Defense—all these basic attributes soared dramatically.
Wang Wu had the Four Clowns perform an appraisal, and as expected, even the Four Clowns noticed the issue.
"Grandpa Tree’s database: Not cultivating a Demon Pill but instead just increasing Qi Blood concentration is not the right path."
"Xiongpi Clan database: Isn’t this likely to train death warriors for the Seek Death Camp? This situation feels familiar; I suggest leaving as soon as possible to avoid being too late."
"Peacock Clan database: Big carp? Could it be for that legend of transformation from flood dragon to true dragon, leaping over the Dragon Gate? Heh, you might just become cannon fodder in that legend..."
"Attribute bar: Data simulation complete. The average Life Value of all carps is 520 points, Physical Strength is 560 points, Agility 25, Power 45, Defense 30. Talent for Water Control Level 10, Talent for Water Perception Level 10, Talent Water Level Max. Mastered Daoist Wave-Treading Skill and Daoist Skill Riding the Wind, Potential Level 5, Comprehension Level 4."
——
"This strength is about the same as the Northern Mountain Overlord Big Mountain Cat used to be, right?"
Wang Wu was quite amazed. These big carps were selected from the Gray Mist Zone just two days ago, and already showing such results. It can only be attributed to their good foundation.
Although these big carps couldn’t compare to Wang Wu, actually, from a normal perspective, you’d notice they are indeed different, reminiscent of the impression of an illegitimate child of the King Carp left in the Mortal World!
At the moment, Wang Wu couldn’t make any moves, nor had the Companion Demon Vine—a perfect general practitioner—to assist. Otherwise, by merely testing the bloodline, he could definitely find the answer.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Wang Wu quickly consumed the remaining Purple Ling Grass, then began mobilizing Qi Blood. The Five Elements Spirit Array operated, perfectly simulating the transformation of his flesh body from consuming the Purple Ling Grass, flawlessly throughout the process.
We should not underestimate this process; static and dynamic changes are unlike each other, but neither compares to changes in essence.
If care is not taken during this process, exposure is likely.
This is all thanks to Wang Wu’s current exquisite and masterful Qi Blood control ability, supplemented by the Five Elements Spirit Array as backup, alongside the assistance of Divine Soul Divine Thought and the Ruyi Body Technique.
Frankly, this is harder than fighting a battle.
Even the dread in the shadows—Yu Ermu, Big Macaque, Big Crab—felt relieved because, in their perception, no kind of Evil Demon could disguise its wrong move after consuming Purple Ling Grass.
In fact, there are only two reactions for an Evil Demon that consumes Purple Ling Grass.
One is no change, which certainly identifies it as an Evil Demon, indicating its strength is too strong for this Spirit Grass to affect.
The other is full of flaws, as it demands re-disguising all advanced data on top of a deep disguise of change, which is taboo in disguise and transformation.
"You all did well, continue practice tomorrow, and when you can scale the waterfall and swim against the current, then we can talk about other things."
Yu Ermu instructed and then melted back into the night. However, Wang Wu quickly overheard its hushed conversation, a few kilometers away, with Big Macaque and Big Crab.
"Is the king really going to try leaping the Dragon Gate again? It’s only been fifty years since last time..."
It was Big Crab speaking.
Yu Ermu sighed, "There’s nothing we can do; to break through the First Grade, one must obtain True Dragon Ancient Blood, which can only be acquired by crossing the Dragon Gate... The king has too many rivals. If it doesn’t break through the First Grade soon, when the Immortal Alliance and Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance fight again, even a First Grade is but an ant..."
"Old Yu, what do you think this time? After all, you trained a treasure this time." Big Macaque suddenly lowered its voice to ask, gesturing toward the river, clearly referring to Wang Wu.
But Yu Ermu snorted, "What kind of treasure is it? Over the years, there hasn’t been a lack of treasures. My past battle achievements at clearance were much better. So what? All of us are the king’s offspring, all pawns for the king. I can only hope the king can leap over the Dragon Gate and acquire True Dragon Ancient Blood; only then do I have a chance to succeed the king. But we both know, the king has one hundred capable sons, and I’m merely one of them."
"In any case, pondering is useless. There’s only a month left. While I have had some achievement, I’m still far from there. You two are my very best friends, and at this time, you must support me generously. If I become the King of Xijiang one day, I will surely not treat you badly."
"Rest assured, we are all Demon Race of Mu Yang Mountain, sharing the same branch and supporting each other—it is only right. But, Old Yu, haven’t you thought about trying to jump the Dragon Gate yourself? As I know, Mu Yang Mountain has a lake, two streams, and six spring eyes currently, all unclaimed territories. If you could jump out with a decent result, the Mountain Master of Mu Yang would surely grant you a territory."
The Big Macaque was trying to coax.
But was immediately glared at by Big Crab,
"Big Macaque, don’t instigate chaos. The King of Xijiang is in his prime, about to surpass the First Grade. Soon he will be a Water Lord, standing equal to the Mountain Master of Mu Yang. Should Yu Ermu try to ally with the Mountain Master of Mu Yang, and when the King of Xijiang succeeds at leaping the Dragon Gate, do you want him to become braised carp or dry-fried carp?"
"Yes, right, no reservations. As a son, I can only support the king in leaping the Dragon Gate, and think of nothing else!" Yu Ermu declared righteously.
Big Macaque sneered but offered no more commentary.
Listening to this, Wang Wu’s heart stirred, Mountain Master of Mu Yang, a Water Lord? So these are Super First Grade existences?
However, it sounds as though there’s a rift between the Mountain Master of Mu Yang and the King of Xijiang. A lake, two streams, six spring eyes, offered as unclaimed territories, yet Yu Ermu doesn’t want them—is it truly not wanted, or is it fear?
I always feel there’s something subtle here.
Additionally, there’s the attitude of the Big Macaque. This guy definitely has something else in mind.
Perhaps, it can be utilized.
After that, Yu the Second, Big Crab, and Big Macaque all stopped talking, and Wang Wu also stopped eavesdropping, just carefully comprehending the exquisite intricacies of the Wind Riding Dao Skill. It really is beyond description, and each time he comprehends it, he gains new insights.
It feels much like reading "Thoughts on a Tranquil Night" or "Spring Dawn," works that seem simple but can definitely become classics known throughout the ages.
Profound words with deep meaning, truly profound words with deep meaning!
To genuflect and admire!
Wang Wu felt that, not only the Demonic Wind Escape Technique, but also his future training in the Wind-Enriched Golden Body could make use of it.
He wondered which kind-hearted great power was willing to spread such a level of Daoist skill freely to the world. If given the chance, Wang Wu would gladly bow to him, even now.
This is simply a benevolent act for the Cultivation Realm.
Unconsciously, dawn arrived.
The Big Carps began a new round of training, focusing on the Wave-Treading technique because, to ascend the reverse flow, they at least needed to jump a height of one hundred zhang—the waterfall was that high. At the same time, the Wind Riding Dao Skill also needed to cover at least fifty zhang; otherwise, failing would mean certain death!
The good news was, after consuming the Purple Ling Grass, overnight, the Qi Blood of the Big Carps became even more vigorous, and their body lengths basically surpassed ten meters, with Wang Wu even breaking through to a body length of twelve meters.
Their massive tails were exceedingly powerful.
Thus, the training of Yu Ermu was quite scientific, as theoretically, they all had the capability to ascend the reverse flow and leap over waterfalls; now it was just a matter of technique.
This time, all the Big Carps trained with considerable effort, and Wang Wu was no exception.
However, the technique required for reverse flow leaping was somewhat advanced.
After a full day of training, only three to five Big Carps managed to acquire the ability to leap in reverse flow; the rest still fell short.
So Wang Wu stayed behind to continue honing his skills, actually taking advantage of the night to contemplate the Wind Riding Dao Skill.
Even Yu Ermu didn’t urge him, even bringing a midnight snack.
In this way, the training continued for a full three days, until all the Big Carps were without issues, and then Wang Wu decided to attempt the reverse flow leap.
During these days, he precisely controlled his progression speed. Under the watchful eyes of the other Big Carps and in the slightly complex gaze of Yu Ermu, he began to ascend the reverse flow.
Even the Big Crab on the waterfall didn’t utter a word this time, and the Big Macaque specially came over, as if this were an extraordinary challenge.
This left Wang Wu quite puzzled until he charged to the base of the waterfall with an impeccable posture. At the moment of leaping amidst the cascading water, the Big Crab suddenly produced a small piece of bone from nowhere, activating the inscription carved on it.
In that moment, the seemingly ordinary bone erupted with terrifying Dragon’s Menace. It was as if Wang Wu saw a Giant Dragon roaring furiously at him.
The entire waterfall and river seemed to transform into a Giant Dragon, and now he audaciously wanted to leap over the Giant Dragon—truly daring like a leopard!
At this moment, Wang Wu completely understood, though he himself was unruffled,
he instantly made his body go rigid, presenting a look of being excessively frightened, falling straight down.
Challenge failed!
Damn, he was right, if it were just a simple reverse flow leaping, why would Yu Ermu be treating it like a formidable challenge?
At this moment, Wang Wu clearly sensed that Yu Ermu gave a cold snicker, slightly disdainful, while also catching the slightly complex expression of the Big Macaque, huh?
What does that mean?
This Big Macaque seemed to have some expectations?
Wang Wu’s mind was stirred, recalling the conversations he overheard recently. After a brief contemplation, he decisively made a decision, flicking his tail in the rapid water flow, he ascended the reverse flow again.
Wave-Treading leap!
This time, Wang Wu directly sprang nearly a hundred zhang high, while the Big Crab immediately activated the Dragon’s Menace on the bone.
Wang Wu immediately made his body stiffen, uncontrollably plummeting down. However, after falling several dozens of meters, he suddenly struggled with all his might, fiercely thrashing his tail, first maneuvering with the water flow to one side, then activating the Wave-Treading Dao Skill again, leaping towards the sky!
Yet after encountering the Dragon’s Menace from the bone, he still couldn’t avoid his body stiffening. Hmm, Wang Wu deliberately acted several more times, deeply portraying that indomitable, refusing-to-yield spirit in the confrontation against the Dragon’s Menace.
Only in this way could he reasonably succeed in the reverse flow leap!
Especially when he realized there seemed to be some subtle relationship between the Mountain Master of Mu Yang and King of Xijiang, he felt he could risk trying.
To strive for a fiefdom was better than being cannon fodder!
