I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 229: Ancient City Beneath the Lake

With the continuous infusion of Innate True Qi, the black Scale Armor unfolded at an astonishing speed.

After only a moment, it had covered Zhang Yuan’s entire body.

Only revealing a pair of eyes with an inner glow!

The next moment, Zhang Yuan silently submerged into the lake.

When the clear lake water swallowed him whole, Zhang Yuan felt an indescribable sensation.

Although when imbued with the Extraordinary Abilities of a White Dragon Loach, entering the water felt like returning home, not only without any hindrance but even freer. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But this time was different.

The lake located at the center of the forest seemed to contain a peculiar magic, easily awakening a hint of his bloodline’s tremor, which in turn resonated with his Divine Soul!

Zhang Yuan was like a wanderer returning home after decades away,

Experiencing unprecedented warmth, familiarity, and comfort.

The feeling was so strong that it almost made him want to cry!

But the firm will of someone who had lived two lives made him suppress his turbulent emotions.

Because such feelings could make him weak, even lose the sense of danger.

Which would be detrimental to exploring this potentially dangerous lake.

Zhang Yuan continued to dive down tens of feet in one breath, fully regained his calm.

He carefully observed the situation in the lake.

The lake was bowl-shaped, high on the sides and low in the center, the water incredibly clear and pure, allowing sunlight to penetrate deep under the water.

The fish in the water moved in groups, varied in size and shape, with numerous quantities and species.

But Zhang Yuan had no interest in them, continuing his dive towards the deeper parts.

Upon reaching a depth of twenty to thirty yards where sunlight could no longer penetrate, it surprisingly wasn’t completely dark.

Revealing a hint of peculiarity.

So Zhang Yuan continued to dive deeper, fifty yards, one hundred yards, two hundred yards...

For anyone else, unless their Martial Arts Cultivation had reached an extremely high Realm, enduring the pressure at such depths would be impossible, likely resulting in a fatal body explosion!

But Zhang Yuan remained at ease.

He kept diving until reaching four to five hundred yards, nearing the deepest part of the lake.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was amazed to discover.

That at the bottom of the lake lay the ruins of an ancient city, silent for many years!

Most of the structures of the ancient city were buried in mud, with many having collapsed and crumbled, the sight filled with remains of broken walls.

Nonetheless, from the surviving structures, its former splendor can still be discerned.

As these buildings were primarily constructed with sturdy stones, and columns engraved with birds and beasts stood among them, though surfaces were covered with lots of moss-like aquatic organisms, their beauty and grandeur couldn’t be hidden.

However, the owners of these buildings had long disappeared without a trace.

The scene naturally evoked in Zhang Yuan a feeling of "Time is merciless, changing the seas into mulberry fields"!

[Gene Body ready for collection!]

Suddenly, a conspicuous prompt appeared in his vision.

The next moment, the corner of Zhang Yuan’s eye caught a fast-moving white shadow on the right!

White Dragon Loach!

Zhang Yuan was very familiar with it, absolutely not mistaken.

Case solved!

No wonder he experienced several Divine Nest senses earlier on his way here.

Turns out he’s seeing an old friend again.

[Gene Body ready for collection!]

Yet another white shadow darted across about a hundred steps away from him and quickly disappeared into the ancient city ruins.

The second White Dragon Loach!

Zhang Yuan was truly shocked.

Had he intruded upon the home base of White Dragon Loaches?

Zhang Yuan finally understood why he felt that way when he submerged into the lake.

The number of White Dragon Loaches in this lake is fearfully abundant!

Hence, when he discovered the third White Dragon Loach, he was no longer surprised.

But as the saying goes, events don’t happen thrice.

So when his vision popped up [Gene Body ready for collection!] for the fourth time, Zhang Yuan applied the Power of the Golden Grasshopper without hesitation.

Tenfold agility!

He moved through the hundreds of yards deep water like an Arrow Leaving the Bowstring towards the newly appeared White Dragon Loach.

The White Dragon Loach was approximately two to three hundred steps away from Zhang Yuan.

Yet, as it sensed danger and quickly sought refuge in the ruins.

Zhang Yuan had narrowed the distance to tens of steps.

Basic Water Profound Communication, tenfold agility, and Dragon Carp Armor together were truly terrifying!

He suddenly reached forward, targeted the front and launched the Water Control Technique.

The White Dragon Loach was instantly frozen!

The surrounding lake water "solidified" momentarily, forming a solid prison trapping it inside.

Utterly unable to escape.

Zhang Yuan approached the prey, a hint of a smile emerged on his face.

Currently, the fourth Divine Nest Host White Dragon Loach is at Level 4, and its Evolution Level has reached 16%.

And its 15% Evolution Level was obtained through the sacrifice of another White Dragon Loach.

Zhang Yuan thus learned, apparently sacrificing similar Extraordinary Life Forms granted a one-time Evolution Level boost.

This also meant he only needed to catch six more White Dragon Loaches to make the fourth Host break through to Level 5!

The higher the level of the Divine Nest Host, the more Source Material needed for Evolution Level increase.

And it grows geometrically.

Therefore, sacrificing similar Extraordinary Life Forms is undoubtedly a shortcut.

Discovering so many White Dragon Loaches here today, Zhang Yuan indeed felt lucky!

It truly was a stroke of fate.

But what Zhang Yuan never expected was as he prepared to snap the "Water Prison" prey for sacrifice, he suddenly felt a resistance from his body.

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded.

Such a situation had never occurred before.

And the root of his self-resistance was astonishingly the fourth Host White Dragon Loach!

Its spirituality was pleading to the Divine Nest Master to spare its kind before him.

Zhang Yuan’s hand, just extended, turned into a rigid Erlang Shen hand!

[Gene Body ready for collection!], [Gene Body ready for collection!], [Gene Body ready for collection!]...

The next moment, his vision pop-up continuous information prompts.

Nearly insane!

Countless White Dragon Loaches emerged from different parts of the ancient city ruins, swiftly gathering towards Zhang Yuan.

Literally dozens in number.

But they bore no hostility.

And acted like a bunch of little puppies wagging tails, swimming around Zhang Yuan.

If these White Dragon Loaches could make sounds, Zhang Yuan’s ears would probably be filled with "whimpering" noises!

Zhang Yuan speechlessly drew back his claw of temptation.

With all these enticing prey around, however, his murderous intent vanished, incapable of seeking sacrifice.

In fact, Zhang Yuan possessed enough mental willpower to suppress the spiritual consciousness of the White Dragon Loach Host.

Forget it.

He shook his head, released the trapped White Dragon Loach.

The freed White Dragon Loach first swiftly swam a distance away.

Then sneakily returned, even approaching Zhang Yuan, gently rubbing its mouth against the Dragon Carp Armor.

Then headed in another direction.

Other White Dragon Loaches followed suit.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan’s heart couldn’t help but stir!
