The Growth of a God

Chapter 879 - 13: Fishing for Kunpeng

Accompanying An Dao Yi for nearly half a month of fishing, Fu Yi learned many secrets of Bai Yu City from him.

The more he listened, the more he understood its secrets. Fu Yi realized the depths of Bai Yu City were unfathomable.

In Bai Yu City, the renowned gods of All Heavens and Myriad Realms had all left their marks.

Fu Yi even heard legends concerning the Mountain and Sea Realm here.

Nuwa, Fuxi, Queen Mother of the West, and Eastern King, born in the Mountain and Sea Realm, also came to Bai Yu City under aliases.

Nuwa and Fuxi, in particular, held a higher status in Bai Yu City than the Three Pristine Ones.

The difference lies in the fact that the Three Pristine Ones were eager to impart their teachings, while Nuwa and Fuxi did not leave any legacy.

Moreover, thanks to the widespread education of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, Fu Yi recognized many aliases of mighty figures in Bai Yu City—among them, the incarnations of Amitabha Buddha, the Five Elders.

As Fu Yi knew more, his head felt heavier. He couldn’t determine who was spying on Profound Realm Heaven.

The only certainty was that Bai Yu City must not become aware of Profound Realm Heaven’s existence.

At least not before resolving the chaos sparked by the ’Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda’. Direct contact between Bai Yu City and the Mountain and Sea Civilization must be avoided.

"The fish is hooked!"

While Fu Yi was listening to An Dao Yi’s usual recounts, the latter suddenly shouted excitedly.

The next moment, the fishing line in An Dao Yi’s hand snapped taut, nearly dragging him off the cloud.

"You old boy!"

"Did you catch a big one?"

Seeing this, Li Bai immediately threw down his Treasure Sword and stepped forward, grasping the fishing rod with An Dao Yi.

As he grabbed the rod, a trace of astonishment flickered across Li Bai’s face.

"Young friend, don’t just stand there! Come over and help!"

Upon hearing Li Bai’s call, Fu Yi, who finally reacted, hurriedly rushed over to assist.

Crash!

The moment Fu Yi grabbed the fishing rod, he felt as though he was hoisting a mountain.

The power from the opposite end of the line forced Fu Yi to transform into his true form, preventing himself from being pulled down.

Roar!

Under the astonished gaze of An Dao Yi and Li Bai,

Fu Yi’s wings spread wide, taking on the appearance of the Winged Divine Dragon. His veins bulged as fearsome power pulled the fishing line upwards by several centimeters.

Simultaneously, the eye of A Gu, who coexisted with Fu Yi, appeared, curiously peering down at the fish below the clouds.

It’s hard to say how much of An Dao Yi and Li Bai’s astonishment was due to the Winged Divine Dragon’s immense power or because of A Gu’s manifestation.

To his credit, An Dao Yi, an experienced angler, soon suppressed his emotions.

"Haha! It seems we’ve really caught something extraordinary this time!"

As if confirming An Dao Yi’s words, a massive sound suddenly echoed from beneath the clouds.

"Woo!!!"

The sound seemed to come from an underwater organ, beautiful yet incredibly loud.

Especially its penetrating power, which instantly spread throughout the entire West Sea, capturing the curiosity of the Baidi City populace.

Some knowledgeable immortals widened their eyes in disbelief, gazing towards the West Sea.

"What is that?"

The question came from A Gu.

For she already saw the fish being reeled up.

It was no fish at all but an immense whale indescribable in size.

With A Gu’s precision akin to a scanner, she estimated that just the part of the whale above the sea rivaled an island spanning several thousand kilometers.

A Gu couldn’t comprehend how such a colossal creature could be hooked by a mere fishing line.

"Trouble! It’s a Kun!"

"More precisely, a Kunpeng!"

After confirming the catch was a Kunpeng, Li Bai’s voice trembled noticeably.

Fu Yi, uncertain if it was his imagination, thought he detected unexpected tension in Li Bai’s words.

It wasn’t just Li Bai; even An Dao Yi’s expression changed subtly.

Before Fu Yi could ponder further, new developments unfolded.

The Kunpeng, realizing it could not escape the hook, emerged entirely from the water.

Whoosh!

Almost instantly, when Kunpeng surfaced, immense wings unfurled from its sides.

Those wings were larger than its body, spreading wide and covering half of the West Sea, giving a sense of blotting out the sky.

From fish to bird, from Kun to Peng...

The entire transformation of Kunpeng took less than a single breath, its speed unimaginable.

"Ha!"

As Kunpeng soared skyward, massive tensile force transferred to the trio’s fishing rod.

Forced by circumstances, Fu Yi also enlarged in form to compete with the rising Kunpeng.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of numerous immortals, an unconventional tug-of-war unfolded in Baidi City at Bai Yu City.

......................................................

"Fishing for Kunpeng is a spectacle not seen for many years."

Silently, a white-robed woman adorned with a Phoenix Crown appeared on the highest point of Baidi City.

She was the current White Emperor, known as Fairy Qiongsang, Huang E.

Huang E gazed at the tug-of-war between Fu Yi and Kunpeng, her originally aloof face displaying a faint smile.

"It’s surprising that the angler this time is an old acquaintance of mine."

With a casual flick of her sleeve, another immortal wearing a Treasure Crown appeared before her.

"Should I call you An Dao Yi now? Or refer to you as the former Qing Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the immortal’s face showed a bitter expression.

"I knew Taibai seeking my help would cause considerable trouble for me."

"I just didn’t expect you to find me."

"Who on earth is Fu Yi?"

"Why would he stir a being of your level?"

Her smile unchanging, Huang E calmly watched the tug-of-war.

However, An Dao Yi noticed that Huang E’s gaze had already shifted from Kunpeng to Fu Yi.

"That Kunpeng is a symbol of fate and fortune, capable of stirring the winds upon every appearance..."

"You intend to obscure the lad’s origins with fishing, yet his fate transcends your imagination."

"I can help conceal the heavenly secrets, but you must lend me a hand in return."

At these words, An Dao Yi understood instantly.

"Do you know my young friend?"

Though Fairy Qiongsang is the most unobtrusive among the current Five Emperors,

so discreet that even Baidi City holds little knowledge of her identity and whereabouts.

This time, however, she emerged due to his incarnation’s fishing, a fact An Dao Yi doubted was due to his own influence.

"I don’t know him, but I know where he comes from."

Huang E’s gaze was profound and candid, her eyes even hinting at a bit of nostalgia.

"If unaware, I might let it be. But knowing, I must intervene."

"Besides, I am curious about who possesses the ’Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda’."

"It’s said that whoever possesses the ’Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda’ will become the Lord of Bai Yu City. I wish to see who dares to make such a claim."
