After continuous walking for half an hour.
Shen could see a large water body shining, as it reflected the light of the sun.
As he kept walking, halfway across the remaining distance, the density of trees kept lessening.
As he came closer and closer, the trees had already vanished.
The lake was surrounded by small rocky structures, Shen was rather happy that he was in a lower ground instead of the large rocks.
Otherwise he would have to find his way after diving from a higher altitude.
Without further ado, he gracefully removed almost all of his clothes and placed them on a large rock which was about half as big as he was.
He first removed the small bag he was carrying, which was followed by removal of his waist belt.
He then removed his robes.
Currently he was standing shirtless as he examined his body.
He had a solid muscular figure, from the memories he knew that the previous Shen had been trying to go up the Body tempering peak, he would carry a ton of weight and tried to climb.
In fact he was very close to reaching the broad flat top of the mountain.
But alas, his body was transmigrated into by Shen Wang himself.
Although he felt a little bad of the poor guy, Shen himself was very happy that he had transmigrated.
After checking out his current body, he proceeded to remove his boots and placed them on the stone.
At last he removed his trousers and underwear and placed them on the stone.
At this point he was fully naked, as he proceeded to have a look at his own body.
He had a strong and 'well-gifted' body, after doing a few stretches Shen walked towards the lake.
The water was tranquil and calm, as Shen put his feet inside the lake he felt a cool sensation on his feet as ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.
Without wasting too much time, Shen walked forward slowly submerging his body under the lake.
As the cool sensation dawned upon him he felt the small accumulated fatigue fade away from his body.
At this moment, his body and he felt extremely satisfaction and happiness, he felt the bond between his mind and body grow very slightly stronger.
Or maybe it was just his imagination, but nonetheless it felt great to take a cool bath after being under the scorching sun.
After swirling around for a few minutes and doing a bunch of tricks, Shen started swimming.
Swimming was one of the hobbies he had on earth, he liked to swim in summers, it was fun.
Shen started doing free style swimming and changed to breast stroke after an hour.
This body had great stamina.
Even after swimming non-stop, he wasn't even out of breath.
Shen decided to push it further, he started to swim in butterfly stroke.
He kept swimming here and there non-stop for as fast as he could for a few hours, only after a couple of hours could he feel slight exhaustion.
This made him even more excited, he could wait to explore the other areas of the Sect later, right now he wanted to see his own limit.
Shen kept swimming until he started to feel real exhaustion in himself, and he had not even used spiritual qi to enhance his body yet, this was just his physical power.
However the thing was that the more he pushed his body, the more he found out that he could do much more.
By this time it was already Dusk, the Sun was starting to go down as it's light kept slowly fading away.
However what didn't fade away was Shen's stamina, he was still swimming.
By this time he was pretty bored of swimming, so he just rested himself on the water.
This was one of his favorite things to do.
He twisted his body and put his back towards the water and made his body lay straight, as if sleeping on the bed.
He just kept floating though buoyant force, although a majority of his body was under water, his head was outside so he could breath normally.
It was a calm feeling, any extra thought was expelled from his mind as he became still and peaceful.
Although he didn't gain any enlightenments, he did gain something more precious.
Basically.
He fell asleep.
Hours passed as he kept drifting on the water like a log, being swept in random directions by weak currents.
By this time the sun was already gone and it was only darkness around.
Dark clouds were gathered in the sky and the wind fastened, it was extremely dark since there was literally no source of light around.
The moon and stars had been covered by dark clouds.
In the next 40 minutes, small droplets of rain began to fall.
And 2 minutes later the entire lake was rippling with a wild downpour of water droplets.
As water disturbed Shen's face he immediately opened his eyes out of reflex, body's reflex was different as the information did not need to reach the brain.
The nerves sent information to the spinal chord and without consulting the brain, the spinal chord would instruct the body to make action.
This was a sort of survival instinct every human had.
Half a second later, Shen realized what was happening, but to no avail.
He was in the middle of nowhere, he couldn't see anything.
He was half-submerged under water and the other half was in the rain.
" HELLO! "
" I'M UNDER THE WATER! "
" PLEASE HELP ME! "
Shen screamed out aloud, hoping that it would attract someone.
He did not immediately start swimming around as it would only waste his energy.
Furthermore he did not have a sense of direction right now so he simply stayed where he was.
Rumble.
In the sea of clouds thunder illuminated.
For a split second Shen was able to somewhat see things around him.
A little less than half a second later the information travelled to his mind as he fastened his thinking speed and analyzed what he just saw.
Basically, all that was surrounding him was water, he could not see any land.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he just waited for this to get over.
Seeing that there was no danger to his life he patiently waited while keeping himself afloat.
A while later fishes started closer to the water surface.
As rainwater pours down, fishes tend to come to the surface for more oxygenated water.
As the fishes came up, they found a foreign body floating on the surface.
Naturally, they were curious and started to fondle around with this seemingly lifeless object.
Shen felt a tickle on his right toe, which immediately startled his body as it tried to shake this invader off of it's body.
The fishes were startled as well, this thing moved as soon as they touched it.
After a couple of minutes, after this body calmed down.
Two brave fishes went forward and started to poke that foreign thing again.
Shen felt more touches.
So he started to shake his legs faster, directly kicking one of the fishes.
The fishes didn't disturb him for a while.
However after a while more and more stubborn fishes came to poke this foreign object that had invaded their territory.
Thankfully these fishes had very weak teeth, so the couldn't really do much other than tickly Shen a little bit.
This time Shen waited, slowly more and more fishes came to poke him.
The fishes started making some sounds, which attracted even more fishes.
At this point Shen's lower leg was pretty much covered in an armor called fish.
Then after a while, more fishes centered around him and started poking his thighs.
Shen still held it in, waiting for this accursed night to pass away.
However, after 30 minutes something happened.
Something Snapped.
Something inside of him.
He didn't care about wasting energy anymore.
Because.
The fishes had started to do fishy stuff with his fish!
Shen immediately circulated the Thunderleaf Inner Resonance Scripture as fast as he could.
Thunder Qi started circulating inside his meridians, however he felt weird.
While he was circulating spiritual qi it started to hurt him.
He felt pain whenever he tried to circulate Qi inside of him.
Shen decided not to circulate qi for now and decided to use his 'abilities'.
/effect give Shen Wang water_breathing 255 1000000
/effect give Shen Wang dolphins_grace 255 1000000
/effect give Shen Wang resistance 255 1000000
/effect give Shen Wang regeneration 255 1000000
Shen immediately felt much more comfortable.
However he still wasn't done, these fishes had provoked him by fishing around by doing fishy stuff with his fish!
/summon lightening_bolt
Immediately a bolt of lightening fell from the heavens and struck him, however he was only damaged a little while that damage was healed in a less than a second.
The fishes which were in direct contact with him had their tongues burnt and were immediately paralyzed.
Their bodies started floating and they came out of the water.
Shen was quite furious that these little pieces of shitty fishes were fishing around with his fish!
/effect give Shen Wang Strength 255 100000
His hands immediately grabbed one fish near him and crushed it's body.
Shen's hand was uninjured due to his high resistance, the bones didn't hurt him even when he crushed them.
The fish's insides came out with a squeeze and spurted out of his palm, the pressure cause the fish's eyes to be pushed out along with it's pea-nut sized gray brain matter.
The same fate awaited the remaining paralyzed fish, their eyes seemingly filled with terror as they saw what happened to their kin.
She's hand mercilessly moved as it grabbed the Second.
And crush!
Then the third.
Fourth.
Fifth.
Sixth.
Seventh.
Eighth.
Ninth.
.
.
.
.
.
Thirty-Sixth.
There were thirty six fishes that had decided to mess with him today.
He was now floating in a small pool of blood and water, the smell made Shen nauseous as he vomited.
There were numerous fish organs floating, hearts, gills, eyes, skulls, fins, scales.
It was a gruesome sight.
Shen decided to swim away from this filth, it was too disgusting.
By now Shen was extremely annoyed, not only did that filth pool ruin his mood but also the rain was starting to get annoying.
/weather set clear
The clouds started dissipating all of a sudden as the annoying thunderstorm stopped.
Shen just sat there for a while and took deep breaths.
Although he had to admit to himself, slaughtering those pests did feel elevating.
Shen decided to improve his own vision a little bit.
/effect give Shen night_vision 1 1000000
A majority of Shen's vision cleared up as he could see the small rocky structures far away from him.
Now that Shen had a sense of direction, he got a bucket of milk and drank it.
All the effects dissipated as Shen returned to his normal self and started swimming towards the shore.
However unbeknownst to him a pair of deep brown eyes were watching him.
" Ho ho ho, we can't have a hunter fish in a peaceful lake now can we. "
A figure enveloped in darkness muttered in a low voice.
As it extended it's hand a fishing rod appeared in it's hands.
With a slight wave the string of the fishing rod travelled a dozen kilometers in a blink of an eye and enveloped a pair of clothes which were kept on a rock.
Then the string changed directions and wrapped around Shen's body.
Before he even had the time to react the string was pulled back.
It was so fast that Shen's mind did not even know that this happened, in his mind he was still swimming.
After all it had only been 100 milliseconds when all of this happened, there was still 400 milliseconds for this information to travel to his mind.
By the time Shen's mind received the information about what happened he was lying on a peace of rock with his clothes over his body.
" Hello there little Shen, I didn't know that you were aspiring to be a hunter fish tonight? "
A voice came from a dark figure which was standing in front of him.
" Me ? Fish ? I am a hunter fish? "
And Shen vomited.
Shen thought that the voice was familiar, however he was still bit motion sick about travelling kilometers in just a second.
As he was vomiting, the dark figure's fingers moved and a small fire illuminated the area.
After a few minutes, Shen's condition was normal again as he decided to look at the person who kidnapped him.
" Ho ? Did you just call me a kidnapper in your mind "
The person who spoke these words was an old man with a white beard, his brown eyes contained deep wisdom as he chuckled as he said these words.
" E- Elder Huang! "
" Seems like you didn't loose your mind after becoming a fish after all ! "
Elder Huang laughed heartily.
This was elder Huang, he was the person who had brought Shen Wang into the sect.
He was an outer sect elder, he was a physician and was the supervisor of the Medicine Pavilion. He was basically a doctor who healed cultivators.
He was also the one who gave him a house to live in, he was basically Shen's godfather.
His cultivation level was unknown, however rumors said that he was half-step into the golden core realm but those were just rumors.
Although he wasn't Shen's master, he gave him advices regarding his cultivation every now and then.
Looking at him, Shen felt like he was looking at a ghost.
He didn't feel his presence at all, however looking at this elder's tone he seemed easygoing.
In fact he liked this guy.
" Greetings Elder ! "
" I am sorry to disappoint you elder, I haven't yet become a fish. However I will never give up ! I'm sure I can be a fish if I try hard enough and loose my mind "
Shen decided to joke around a bit.
This only made elder Huang laugh more heartily.
" Hahahaha ! Good! Good! Good! become a fish as soon as possible. "
They both just joked with each other for a while.
" Enough jokes now you're buck naked, wear some clothes you indecent f**k"
After Elder Huang's scolding Shen realized that he was naked the entire time, with a red face he quietly started to wear his clothes.
Once he was done changing, he looked at Elder Huang.
Elder Huang's face was serious right now as he asked,
"Tell me lad did you undergo Qi deviation sometime ago ? "
