From Crimson-Scaled Koi to Heavenly River Dragon King

Su Kui transmigrates into a cultivation world and becomes a large red-scaled carp. Along with him comes an awakened status panel.

In a vast spirit river, Su Kui devours spirit plants, absorbs qi, and masters water arts, transforming step by step from carp to dragon wyrm, then to dragon.

[Red-Scaled Koi] → [Golden-Armored Ao Fish] → [Jade-Eyed Wyrm] → [???]

At the same time, he builds an underwater manor, cultivates submerged spirit fields, recruits shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and stands firm against land-dwelling cultivators, becoming the overlord of an entire waterway.

[Underwater Manor] → [Xuanji Grotto] → [Chi Water Palace] → [???]

Years later, Su Kui looks back at the surging rivers behind him and suddenly realizes that he has reached the head of all the seas. The Dragon Kings bow before him, and the world honors him as the Dragon Ancestor of the Celestial River.

Sometimes he wonders just how high an official's rank can go.

He has heard that countless immortal beings dwell above the clouds, standing aloof with cold, indifferent eyes.

He has come surging through the waters to tell these gods, who delight in eating dragon meat, that the tables have turned.
