Ning waited until the portal closed and finally looked around at the oceanic world he was on.

"This is a world full of water with barely any land on it," he said softly, almost speaking to himself.

"Only water?" Blue asked almost excitedly. "That's the best kind of world for me, master." He flew off of Ning's shoulders and jumped into the ocean, turning himself into a large serpentine dragon that swam through the ocean.

Ning smiled and slowly flew up to Blue before landing on his back. "If you love this so much, then become my ride here."

"Of course, that would be my pleasure, master," Blue said. And started slowly moving forward on the surface of the water. "Where are we going exactly, master?"

"Hmm, in that direction," Ning pointed.

"Okay!"

Blue took off the moment he got the command. Ning was surprised at how fast Blue was. He understood that being in water gave him some advantages, but this was far faster than what someone should have been capable of given his cultivation base.

"Not bad. This is what I wanted to see since you are a True Dragon now," Ning said.

"Haha, master. I never knew I was this fast at all," he said. "I was stuck in that desert for way too long."

"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask. Why exactly did you not leave that place? You could've gone west and reached an ocean in a day or two's time," Ning said.

"Oh… was the ocean that close?" he asked. "I ended up in the desert and since then I've been staying there so I could be stronger before I left. Didn't help that I had only just evolved thanks to my breakthrough to Immortality."

"I see," Ning said. "That's understandable. Also, there is a very strong fish coming to attack us from the front. Be careful."

"Oh?" Blue quickly spread out his own divine sense and searched for the fish. As Ning had said, a 12-finned, long fish with hundreds of sharp teeth was swimming straight toward them at quite a fast speed.

"Oh, it's just a Low Immortal fish," Blue said. "It's nothing strong."

The fish arrived a moment later, and before it could do anything, Blue opened his mouth and sent a blast of water at it. The water tore through the fish's body, leaving nothing but chunks of flesh.

Ning used his telekinesis to pull something slightly blue from the fish's body which turned out to be a beast core.

"See master? I can handle Low Immortals quite easily," Blue said.

"I know exactly how far you can handle now that I've seen you fight those three," Ning said as he pocketed the beast's core. "That's why I said the fish that is coming is strong."

It took Blue a few instances to understand what Ning was saying, but when he did, his face darkened. Suddenly, a wave of power hit him, forcing him to slow down by just its mere presence.

"Hmm, Immortal Saint realm. I did hear that the aquatic beasts were what cultivated the most in this world, but I did not expect to see something like that so soon," Ning said.

He looked at Blue who was starting to slow down and chuckled. "I thought you were a True Dragon that didn't cower in front of anything," he said.

"I'm not, master," Blue said. "But even I know not to fight something like that myself. I should leave it to you."

"That's correct," Ning said and flicked his finger. A single Spear Qi flew from his fingers and flew straight into the distance. Blue did not see anything at first, but a moment later a huge explosion appeared sending water flying hundreds of meters into the air.

The body part of the fish flew into the air too, and Ning pointed towards one of them. "Go towards that portion," he said.

"Yes master," Blue said and swam so fast that he arrived there before the piece fell into the water.

Ning pulled the beast core out from that one as well and placed it inside his storage.

"Master, why are you keeping the beast cores? Do you plan on feeding it to me later?" Blue asked expectantly. Eating beast cores was one of the ways for beasts to continue cultivating, so he was quite hopeful.

"No, I might, if I find no other use," Ning said.

"Thank you, master," Blue said happily and the two of them continued on their journey.

They continued going through the ocean for hours, even fighting quite a few beasts, but they had still not reached their destination at all.

Another fish flew into the sky, attacking them. Blue was ready to attack back, but Ning stopped him.

"We are merely passing through. Please don't be worried," Ning said to the fish, who thought for a moment and let them pass through.

Blue was worried for a few moments, but after the fish was gone, he continued going to his destination, not giving much thought to what had happened before.

"It's so weird, master," Blue said. "There really is no land at all here."

"I said before, didn't I? There is barely any land here. All there are is a few islands here and there. That's all," Ning said.

"That's so weird, if all it is is water, then where do the people live?" Blue asked.

"You haven't noticed yet, have you?" Ning asked, almost mysteriously.

"Notice what?" Blue asked with a weird look on his face. Was he supposed to notice anything?

"We've already gone past quite a few human civilizations," Ning said.

"What?" Blue couldn't believe it at all. "No way! Do they live in the sky, hidden from my eyes?"

"No, they live in the ocean, preferably hidden from everyone's eyes," Ning said.

"Huh? How do they live there? In a bubble?" Blue asked.

"No, they don't need something like that," Ning said. "They can breathe even without it."

Blue couldn't understand that at all. "How can they breathe? Through some artifacts?" he asked.

"No," Ning said. "They can breathe normally because all humans in this world have the ability to transform into a fish."
