“Pa~” “Brother Yan, that’s a good name! It’s not inferior to my demonic body!”
Niu Batian struck with both palms, making a sound like firecrackers. He had a feeling just by hearing the name.
"Well, that's a good name!"
"Yes, that's a good name!"
Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun also nodded in agreement. It was indeed a name that could cover the path discussed previously.
“Although it will be full of difficulties, this is also a path of cultivation, a path that more people can take, and it is also a righteous path!”
This is Ji Yuan's evaluation of martial arts. A breakthrough in the path of martial arts is something that everyone present would like to see very much. However, even if there is a theoretical basis, this is also a path that needs to be explored by real martial artists themselves. Even Ji Yuan cannot judge the exact result based on this.
The lifespan of warriors in the innate realm is longer than that of ordinary warriors, but not too exaggerated. However, if they can really follow the path of Wusha Yuangang, I believe their lifespan will be greatly improved. However, how this path works has not yet been explored. Yan Fei is naturally not a person who has no confidence in himself, but he has also made preparations for both situations.
At the same time, whether it is Yan Fei himself, Ji Yuan, Lao Niu or Lu Shanjun, they all understand that the path of martial arts is just like ordinary people practicing martial arts. It seems that there are many people who can practice, but in fact, there are very few people who can become masters. However, after all, there are more thoughts, and it is destined to be a part of the prosperity of humanity, because martial arts are truly rooted in the world and are inseparable from it.
A path forward in martial arts, a chess piece in the sleeve, this harvest was beyond Ji Yuan's expectations, but it seemed reasonable.
Just as Yan Fei said, all good things must come to an end. A few days later, everyone parted outside the small manor. Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun headed north together. The direction was secondary, and the purpose was the primary one.
Yan Fei and Ji Yuan also left the small manor. The former would follow Ji Yuan to Tianshui Lake first, and then return to Dazhen. After all, if he returned to Dazhen by himself, it would take several months.
As for this small manor outside Luoqing City, it was directly handed over to the couple to manage. Although it was said to be handed over to them to manage, it was actually a gift to them. After all, Yan Fei knew very well that he might not live here permanently anymore. Even if he might come back, he would just come to take a look. Without Yan Fei here, Niu Batian might rather live in a brothel even if he revisited the place.
…
Tianshui Lake is one of the largest lakes in Zuyue, and many Zuyue people make a living around it. When Ji Yuan brought Yan Fei here, only five days had passed since the last discussion on martial arts.
At this moment, Ji Yuan and Yan Fei were standing together in front of a reed marsh by the lake. In Yan Fei's eyes, the edge of Tianshui Lake was far away, but in Ji Yuan's blurred vision, from a purely visual point of view, Tianshui Lake seemed boundless, and it was more accurate to judge the boundary by the water spirit.
Yan Fei looked around at the edge of Tianshui Lake and saw some fishing boats sailing on the lake in the distance, and there was an uninhabited wilderness all around.
"Uh, Mr. Ji, we are going into the lake? Should we find a fishing boat?"
Ji Yuan looked at Yan Fei with some amusement.
“Can fishing boats go to the bottom of the lake?”
However, after saying this, Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that when Lao Long invited him to attend the birthday banquet, fishing boats could indeed sail to the bottom of the lake. He was speechless and changed the subject.
"Let's go. With Ji Mou here, there's nothing to be afraid of. No need to hold your breath. Let's go into the water together."
After saying this, Ji Yuan jumped lightly, as if gliding through an arc, and after stepping on the water with his feet, he slowly sank into the water.
Yan Fei let out an "ah" on the shore, then gritted his teeth and jumped out. He drew an arc with his lightness skill and landed precisely at the place where Ji Yuan fell into the water. However, he habitually treaded water with both feet and took more than ten steps on the water surface before he reacted. He stopped using his lightness skill and used the Thousand-Jin Weight Move, allowing himself to sink into the water.
Ji Yuan was waiting for Yan Fei underwater. After seeing him fall into the water, he looked around but still kept his breath closed. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that even though Ji Yuan's martial arts skills were as high as Yan Fei's, some psychological barriers could not be overcome in one go.
So Ji Yuan flashed behind Yan Fei and patted him lightly on the back.
"boom… "
A shower of tiny bubbles rose in the water.
"Ahem..."
Yan Fei was hit by this and coughed in the water. He took a breath subconsciously, and then he found that no water flowed into his mouth. Instead, he could breathe smoothly like on land. Not only that, although he could feel the water flow when his fingers slid, even his clothes did not seem to be wet.
"Sir, this is..."
When he opened his mouth, Yan Fei found that he had no difficulty speaking underwater.
"It's just a water avoidance technique. Let's go and meet Gao Tianming."
Ji Yuan said as he stepped forward, and Yan Fei quickly followed. The water felt a little soft when he stepped into it, but it was no problem for walking, and there was no need for a swimming posture. The water flowed slowly around him, and he could feel the waves and even the temperature of the water with his hands, feet, and even face. He could even see fish swimming in the water passing by.
This experience made Yan Fei feel very novel. He even reached out to touch the swimming fish like a child. With the physical fitness of an innate warrior, he could catch a fish in an instant, watch it swaying frantically in the water, and then let it go.
Tianshui Lake is a lake that can support dragons, so after passing a relatively diving area that is several meters deep, the water in the lake becomes deeper and deeper and darker. Yan Fei followed Ji Yuan all the way and the sense of novelty never stopped.
"Mr. Ji, is Mr. Gao really in this lake?"
"He wouldn't lie to me, would he? Here, someone comes to ask."
As Ji Yuan was speaking, he saw a giant black python slowly swimming out from the darkness. Yan Fei's heart tightened at this scene, and he subconsciously grasped the sword at his side.
"The front is the forbidden area of Tianshui Lake. Everyone who comes here must know their name."
Ji Yuan replied calmly to the giant python.
"Please inform Lord Gao Hu that Ji Yuan and Yan Fei are here to visit."
The giant python was originally planning to shout a few more times, but when it heard the name "Ji Yuan", it was suddenly startled.
"Are you Mr. Ji?"
The giant python swam in a snake-like manner, slowly pushing away the water flow and carefully moving closer, scanning Ji Yuan and Yan Fei from head to toe. Although Mo Yuzhan didn't see the others clearly, she saw everything clearly.
"So it's Mr. Ji. Sir, please follow me. Master Gao has already instructed that if you meet a gentleman, you don't need to report to him. Just let him enter the water palace directly. By the way, you two gentlemen don't need to paddle by yourselves, just sit on my back!"
As it spoke, the giant python, which was as thick as a bucket, swung its body in an arc and stood in front of Ji Yuan and Yan Fei. The two looked at each other. After Ji Yuan nodded, he took Yan Fei and stepped onto the snake's back to stand firmly.
"Sir, stand still. I will control the water and go quite fast."
"Hua La La..."
The water flow was stirred violently, and the giant python moved quickly downward. Ji Yuan did not move at all, while Yan Fei shook slightly, then spread his feet one in front and one behind, and stood firmly on the snake's back.
No one knew how deep the Tianshui Lake was. It was getting darker and darker underneath. In Yan Fei's eyes, it was almost impossible to see anything more than a foot away. He could only see some small bubbles and turbid lake water. Occasionally, some panicked fish would swim past him and even bump into him.
Afterwards, the giant snake swam into an underwater rock cave in a dark current. After about a few breaths, a faint fluorescence appeared in the completely dark environment. Ji Yuan and Yan Fei originally thought that some water plants on the cave wall were glowing, but then they found that there were some glowing small fish swimming beside the water plants. Then the light gradually strengthened, and inlaid pearls began to appear around it.
About ten breaths passed, and the light around had become as bright as day. The underwater world in the cave also appeared before his eyes. It was much wider than he had imagined. Many magical aquatic creatures were swimming around in it, and many of them had obviously become intelligent. There were also water palace buildings with carved railings and jade bricks in the distance. From afar, a huge plaque emitting light could be seen in front of the palace, with the three big characters "Tianming Palace" on it.
"Haha, Gao Tianming's water palace is quite stylish, and even more interesting than Mr. Ying's Tongtian River Dragon Palace."
The huge python under Ji Yuan's feet trembled subconsciously when he heard this, and didn't dare to say a word. He knew who Mr. Ying Ji Yuan was talking about. Anyone who said such words would be considered "treasonous", but Mr. Ji said it was okay.
"Commander Snake, you are back? Who are these two people?"
A fish girl with a beautiful upper body and a koi fish tail in the lower body swam over and asked from a distance.
"Go and tell Master Gao that Mr. Ji and Mr. Yan are here to visit. Go quickly!"
"Oh oh oh!"
When the fish girl heard the splash, she swam over quickly and nervously. Some of the surrounding aquatic creatures also looked over here with curious expressions, while some swam away in all directions, discussing something in a low voice.
The giant python seemed to deliberately slow down its speed so that it could not swim to the water palace.
Ji Yuan looked at everything around him with great interest. He felt that the aquatic creatures under Tianshui Lake were different from what he had seen before and were very interesting. If he had to describe it, he would say that they were very lively and did not look like a serious occasion.
After a while, Gao Tianming's voice came from the water palace, and then his wife, together with him and the water creatures on both sides, came out of the water palace and swam quickly towards this side.
"Mr. Ji is visiting, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
"Sir, why didn't you inform us in advance so that my husband and I could go and welcome them in person?"
The interesting thing is that after Gao Tianming and his wife came out, the aquatic creatures that were originally wandering around did not move away, but gathered around and swam around to watch.
