Chapter 403 An Old Friend
Yuchi nodded as he watched Cofuran disappear from his sight. In truth, he had long forgotten about this.
After all, he had only enlightened these fish by chance while he was cultivating, so he had not expected these fish to miss him. However, he was currently too far away from the Hanjiang River and the Moon Goddess Sea, so he would have to take the trip there another time.
When the matter regarding the Alchemist Valley was resolved and he became a god, it would be worthwhile to return.
Yuchi stood up slightly. As his body gradually straightened, he gave off an otherworldly feeling.
"Hanjiang, let's go find Bi Fang and see what a real god looks like."
"Okay, Master!"
"Don't worry! If Bi Fang wants to kill Master, I'll sacrifice myself to buy time for Master to escape!"
Yuchi laughed.
He pinched Yue Hanjiang's face, and then he set off.
While they were on their way, Yuchi was also thinking about some things related to Bi Fang. He had never thought that this kind of thing existed in this world.
What did Bi Fang look like? Was it just like what was described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or did it look like something else entirely?
...
As Yuchi and Yue Hanjiang hurried on their journey, a winding river meandered forward. The Hanjiang River was still the same as it had been in the past. It snowed all year round, and pine trees covered by snow could be seen everywhere along the banks of the Hanjiang River. Beneath the surface of the water, many lost and bewildered fish could be seen.
Yuchi had enlightened them back then, so they had gained a certain level of intelligence and sentience. That being said, it was not a sufficient level of intelligence to create a civilization.
All they had were questions regarding their surroundings, and a yearning for the one who had enlightened them.
The Hanjiang River looked very desolate, but suddenly a woman appeared at the edge of the river. This woman was none other than Sword Heart.
Ever since Yuchi had cured her, and solved the eternal curse of the artifact spirit race, he had been regarded as their savior and benefactor.
When Sword Heart had spare time, she would often visit the pavilion where Yuchi used to fish. Sometimes, when she reminisced, she could almost see Yuchi sitting there calmly.
How many years had passed?
Ten years?
20 years?
Time will never stop and will keep flowing forward.
Sword Heart crouched by the riverbank, looking at the fishes.
They seemed to have sensed something. One by one, they approached the shore and looked at the woman squatting on the shore with their glassy eyes.
"You guys also want to know where Senior went, right?"
"I'm sorry. I want to know as well, but we don't have the means to find his location."
"At the very least, we can find solace in the fact that we're living in the same world, even if the lives we lead are completely different. We shouldn't forsake Senior's kindness and mercy in helping us."
Sword Heart looked at these fish with a faint smile, and these fish seemed to understand what she said. One by one, small bubbles emerged from the ice-cold water of the Hanjiang River. One by one, they looked at the place where Yuchi had been sitting, their eyes seemingly full of worship and adoration.
Sword Heart had accompanied these fish more than once. She would often come over to talk to these fish when she was free. Like them, she missed Yuchi.
"You guys can stay here for now. "I'm leaving."
Sword Heart stood up and looked at her clansmen in the distance. Her face was also glowing with a smile.
Life went on as time did.

After leaving the primordial sea, Hei Yan and Hong Yan were ready to return to the Sea of Oblivion. However, on the way back, they met an old friend.
This old friend was more than 100 meters tall, but he was quite agile when he walked. His body was like an agile monkey, and he bounded across mountains and fields at an extremely fast speed, and he left afterimages in his wake. He was obviously a demigod.
It was obvious that this demigod had come here after sensing Hei Yan and Hong Yan's aura. He approached them. His eyes were full of surprise.
"You two haven't left the Sea of Oblivion for such a long time that I thought you might've died? How have you been doing? And what brings you both out here?"
