From Sect Fisherman to True Lord of Water Essence

Jiang Yu transmigrates into the body of a lay disciple of a Daoist sect, living beside the vast marshes of the Li River. With ten poor acres of water to his name, he struggles against wind and waves every day just to make ends meet.

Water demons and ruthless bandits prey on fishing villages, while Daoist martial masters fly through the air on magical weapons, regarding ordinary people as ants. Then one day, two lines of ancient script suddenly appear before Jiang Yu’s eyes:

[Little Fish Harvest Art: 1/20] Raise fish to gather spiritual energy. The fatter the fish and the richer the pond, the more they nourish you in return.

[Essence-Transforming Grass and Wood Array: 5/200] Turn algae and pondweed into spiritual plants, gathering the virtue of water and nurturing life.

Enlighten [Axehead Chapter] into [Pondhead Commandant]: Eight iron tentacles guard the underwater domain, doubling the yield of spiritual fish.

Enlighten [Pig Dragon] into [Wave-Turning General]: Command shrimp soldiers and crab generals, patrolling a hundred miles of marshland.

Enlighten [Thousand-Year Spirit Turtle] into [River and Stream Water Court Magistrate]: Regulate the spiritual currents and open a hidden realm beneath the waters!

...And so the world gained a River Earl and a Shepherd of Lakes and Seas!

The Daoist sects soon realized that this young man was extraordinary. His talent kept rising, and his strength grew ever more unfathomable, so they sent disciples to investigate.

An envoy from the Dragon Palace came riding the waves, demanding to know how Jiang Yu dared establish a water court without permission.

Jiang Yu simply scattered a handful of fish food. Behind him, countless spirits bowed their heads.

“I only wanted to raise fish and get by. But what can I do... this damn world forced me to become ruler of rivers and seas, the True Lord of Water!”
