Chapter 1971 - 1954: Yin Yang Fish

This planet is exceedingly vast, with no traces of Martial Artists, like a natural Medicine Garden. The Cosmic Spiritual Treasures here are incredibly abundant, fully capable of nurturing Holy Fruit, something not even seen in the Taixu Saint Realm. Semi-Saints and Quasi-Saints would be unable to remain still if they saw this.

Besides this, Xiao Ye hadn’t made any other significant discoveries.

"These Cosmic Spiritual Treasures are truly terrifying, capable of even repairing Spirit Rank Origin!"

Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens consecutively refined some Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, and the Spirit Rank Origin instantly returned to the Peak, surging with extreme intensity, their eyes bursting forth with unmatched Divine Light.

"What a pity, I’ve already reached Spirit Rank Peak but have yet to bear Holy Fruit, stepping onto the path of Semi-Saint and Quasi-Saint. These Cosmic Spiritual Treasures can’t elevate my Realm."

Ghost Fire gazed down upon this planet, sighing.

He had already broken through to the Spirit Rank Peak, the Spirit Flower had already reached its limit, and without comprehending his own Saint Dao, he could no longer refine Cosmic Spiritual Treasure.

Nine Heavens was the same.

In reality, this was the plight of all Spirit Rank Peak Martial Artists in the Three Thousand Great Realms.

Yet, even so, faced with such level of Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, they couldn’t help but pick many, storing them in their Space Rings for future use.

Xiao Ye, with the Great Realm Qiankun Map in hand, was not too interested and only selected some useful ones.

The three stayed on this planet for half a day before simultaneously taking off into the sky, heading forward.

Indeed, as they continued to advance, the star light in the Universe became increasingly brilliant, and planets began to appear densely in their vision.

These planets were all extraordinarily large, each like a Medicine Garden, bearing countless Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, astonishing Xiao Ye and his companions.

It’s truly worthy of being a Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm, with Cosmic Spiritual Treasures unimaginable in the Three Thousand Great Realms appearing in abundance here.

Xiao Ye scanned each planet they encountered along the way, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

His biggest predicament currently was the Saint Dao.

Unable to comprehend his own Saint Dao, he would remain stuck at the Spirit Rank for life. What use, then, are an abundance of Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, Spiritual Techniques, and Spiritual Artifacts?

If you don’t reach the Holy Rank, you are forever an ant.

Xiao Ye asked the Time Great Saint, but unfortunately, didn’t receive a satisfying answer.

The Starry Sky Secret Realm formed after a Saint Rank Expert’s passing, he could neither speculate nor deduce it.

"Xiao Ye, look, what’s that?"

At this moment, Nine Heavens’ voice of surprise caught Xiao Ye’s attention.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Ye followed the voice and was momentarily stunned.

He saw, in front of him in the Universe, a patch of blue-green waves surging, with misty star light making it appear extraordinarily mysterious.

Getting closer, the three of them discovered that it was a sea area, roughly covering about ten miles around. The sea water was entirely emerald green, with mist rising and emitting peculiar Dao Rhythm.

"This..."

The three were instantly dumbfounded, faces full of disbelief.

A sea area appearing in the Universe?

"This sea area is definitely not simple, we should check it out," Xiao Ye leaped up.

"Okay."

"Brother Xiao, if it weren’t for you, we’d have been dead long ago. As per our agreement, we won’t touch any treasure that interests you, and we will assist you as well."

Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens followed him.

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, just as they approached, the sea area shattered like glass, turning into countless Floating Light Shadows swirling in the Universe, heading forward.

"This...was just an illusion?"

Xiao Ye released his Spiritual Sense, effortlessly penetrating the shattered sea area, as if through nothing.

At the same time, Xiao Ye’s Spiritual Sense captured a living being.

It was a half-black, half-white fish, three meters long, with shiny scales reflecting countless illusions, composing that sea area.

At this moment, the fish, like a startled rabbit, swiftly darted away, each move of its body producing countless Floating Light Shadows across the Universe.

"The illusory scene was made by fish scales?" Xiao Ye stopped, dumbfounded.

Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens also noticed the fish, their faces full of incredulity.

This scene was beyond their imagination.

"Xiao Ye young man, what are you standing there for? Go catch it, that’s a Yin Yang Fish!"

At that moment, the stern voice of the Time Great Saint suddenly came.

"Yin Yang Fish?"

Xiao Ye was momentarily dazed, with no time to ask, he immediately activated the Initial Scripture Phase and chased, his form flashing as if by Instant Teleportation.

But unexpectedly, as the tail of the Yin Yang Fish flicked, its form became hazy, and it suddenly vanished from Xiao Ye’s sight.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes widened, as if seeing a ghost.

Did that Yin Yang Fish just perform Instant Teleportation?

Instant Teleportation, the signature ultimate move of Saint Rank Experts, could a fish actually perform it too?

"Sigh, you missed a great opportunity!" The Time Great Saint’s voice was one of regret.

"Time Great Saint Senior, what is a Yin Yang Fish?" Xiao Ye immediately asked.

"Once a Saint Rank Expert passes and sits, their Saint Dao dissipates, returning to Heaven and Earth, but the Holy Fruit does not disappear. It has a certain chance of slowly disintegrating into a ’Holy Sea’, which is what you just saw."

"Holy Sea is formed from the disintegration of the Holy Fruit, naturally close to the Dao. If you can meditate within the Holy Sea, your chance to comprehend the Saint Dao will greatly increase."

"In the Three Thousand Great Realms, many Saint Rank Experts use heaven-defying techniques to forcefully disintegrate their Holy Fruits into a Holy Sea during their fall for the sake of their descendants."

"And that Yin Yang Fish is a unique life form within the Holy Sea. As long as you can catch it, you’ll be able to find the Holy Sea."

Every word of the Time Great Saint rang in Xiao Ye’s ears like thunder.

"Holy Sea!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes turned red, his breath becoming heavy.

This was precisely the treasure he was seeking!

"I encountered the Yin Yang Fish once, so I can definitely encounter it a second time. Next time, I won’t let it escape!"

Xiao Ye was not disappointed but instead his eyes gleamed brightly.

Hope is always better than despair.

After all, he now knew that within this Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm, a place like the Holy Sea existed.

If it takes a year to find it, then a year it is!

If not in ten years, then a hundred years!

This concerns his ascend to the Holy Rank, so he naturally wouldn’t give up.

"You sure have a good perspective, young man." The Time Great Saint chuckled coldly, saying no more.

Regarding the Holy Sea, Xiao Ye didn’t mention too much to Ghost Fire and Nine Heavens, and they, tactfully, didn’t ask many questions. So together, they set off again, flying forward.

As they pressed forward, the planets along the way became increasingly dense. Each planet was still covered in various Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, and powerful Exotic Beasts began appearing.

"Are the Witch Saints still alive?"

On one of the planets, Xiao Ye and his group landed. Looking at the planet seemingly plundered and the exotic beasts lying in pools of blood, they all wore solemn expressions.
