Zhou Xun naturally wouldn't wait in vain, naturally waiting for the rabbit by the tree stump, but there had to be a stump for the rabbit to hit into.

Zhou Xun patted his storage bag and took out a set of "Water Wave Array", a Tier One Top-Grade.

This is a trapping array that utilizes the power of the Water Spirit, and in this water-surrounded environment, its power increases by thirty percent.

Zhou Xun laid this array within a one-mile range around the vulnerable spot.

Then, with a spell cast, the array disappeared.

This was a trap he set for the thief.

Next came the quiet waiting.

The first day, everything was peaceful here.

Occasionally, some Red Spirit Dragon Fish swam by nearby.

These Red Spirit Dragon Fish were still young yet already approaching Tier One Low-Grade level.

It seems that what Wei Qiuxin said was true, once matured, these fish are quite extraordinary and valuable.

Taking them to the White Cloud Immortal City would surely be warmly received.

The second day was also peaceful, and Zhou Xun continued to wait.

Until the fourth day, waves of spiritual power fluctuations came from a distant water area,

Zhou Xun opened his eyes, looking towards where the fluctuations originated.

"Finally, it's here!"

He then used the Thousand Illusion Mask to conceal his aura to the utmost, simultaneously casting an Invisibility Talisman.

Zhou Xun's figure gradually faded away, as if he had never appeared.

In moments, the fluctuation intensified.

Soon, it came near.

It turned out to be a large Golden Carp, four or five feet long, if not for its genuine aura, Zhou Xun would have thought he had targeted the wrong one.

After all, this fish wasn't much bigger than his Red Spirit Dragon Fish, how did it manage to eliminate three of them?

Were it to eat them, considering its size, it shouldn't be able to digest that many.

The combined volume of three Red Spirit Dragon Fish wasn't smaller than it.

This fish was extremely vigilant; upon approaching, it didn't immediately enter but circled around several times, carefully exploring. Only when it didn't find anything unusual did it move closer.

Nearing the array's vulnerable spot, the large Golden Carp's entire body surged with energy, emitting golden light.

On its forehead, two antler-like shadows appeared.

Soon, the antler shadow flashed, a cyan light cluster appeared which merged into the array's location, melting a big hole in the array's light shield.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun showed a peculiar expression. What kind of divine technique is this, that can break the array's light shield so easily?

The Golden Carp took this opportunity to swim quickly inside, its tail wagging happily.

Just as the fish's body passed halfway through, Zhou Xun decisively held the manipulation command flag, immediately activating the "Water Wave Array".

A cyan, semi-transparent light shield rose instantly, trapping the large Golden Carp inside.

The Golden Carp was taken aback and quickly swam back the way it came.

But soon, it was blocked by the light shield.

The Golden Carp immediately spat out a light cluster trying to merge through the light shield again.

Having seen the Golden Carp's strangeness before, Zhou Xun wouldn't let it escape so easily.

With a wave of his hand, a flash of light passed, and the place where the light cluster merged flashed continuously, but the cluster couldn't form a big hole as before.

And the light cluster gradually shrank as time passed.

Zhou Xun hesitated no longer, casting a sealing spell, a big hand formed by mana appeared and grabbed towards the Golden Carp.

This time it missed, the Golden Carp was extremely agile and fast, not the least bit slower than a Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivator's flight on a spiritual artifact.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun held the manipulation command flag, chanting spells, and pointed the flag at the Water Wave Array.

Instantly, densely packed water dragons appeared throughout the Water Wave Array, interweaving to form a giant net.

It descended upon the Golden Carp.

The Golden Carp desperately fled.

The giant net gradually shrunk, reducing the Golden Carp's movement space.

After the time of a tea, the net shrank to several yards, trapping the Golden Carp within, its aura listless and no longer moving.

It seemed to accept that it was caught alive by Zhou Xun.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled faintly.

Soon after, the mana big hand grasped it, and Zhou Xun immediately placed several restrictions on it.

Then he put it into a Spirit Beast Bag and flew towards Spirit Fish Island.

Moments later, Zhou Xun descended in front of Wei Qiuxin's cave mansion.

"Husband, did you catch the fish thief?" Song Yiqing observed Zhou Xun's good mood, guessing the truth.

"Indeed, captured alive!" Zhou Xun nodded.

With that, he patted his storage bag, and the four or five feet long golden carp appeared on the ground, unable to move due to Zhou Xun's restrictions.

"Is this... a carp?" Song Yiqing was surprised.

Aside from being golden, this fish looked no different from a common carp in the mortal world's rivers.

"A golden carp is rare, but its spiritual power aura seems to be at a Tier One Middle-Grade level!"

This fish is equivalent to a Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivator, a rarity indeed.

The group of Red Spirit Dragon Fish didn't even reach Tier One Low-Grade level, no wonder they were no match against this Golden Carp.

Wei Qiuxin, who had been silent beside seeing this fish, frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

"Fairy Wei, do you recognize this fish?" Zhou Xun asked.

The previous scenes of this fish's light cluster dissolving the array's light shield were still vivid in Zhou Xun's mind, knowing this fish was not ordinary.

Wei Qiuxin pondered, murmuring softly.

"A fish fully golden; I remember my father once mentioned several types,"

"One is called the Golden Spirit Carp, precious and not inferior to the Red Spirit Dragon Fish, consuming it over long years extends lifespan, equal to half a Life-Extending Pill!"

"But the Golden Spirit Carp has tassel-like tails, making it different from this fish, it shouldn't be that!"

"Another is called the Golden Dragon Fish, its body long resembling two to three times a common carp, similar to a Golden Dragon, but this fish's body wide and stout cannot possibly be a Golden Dragon Fish!"

"The third type is the Brocade Celestial Carp, also called the Blessed Beast, which should not be harmed recklessly, or it will diminish fortune, but if nurtured at home, it can ensure continued fortune,"

"Brocade Celestial Carp has golden markings, extremely rare, this fish lacks such traits, so it might not be it either!"

"The fourth type is the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp, possessing the Ancient True Spirit Cyan Dragon bloodline, once mature becomes a Great Demon, among Earth-Grade bloodlines, it's top-tier!"

"The Cyan Gold Dragon Carp naturally bears dragon horns on its forehead, with divine capabilities, possessing the ability to dissolve the Five Elements Spiritual Power all over the world!"

"Rumor has it, if the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp can break through its shackles and ascends to the Demon King Realm, it might achieve a Cyan Flood Dragon form!"

"Given this fish's full golden appearance, with no other distinctive signs, I think…perhaps it's an ordinary carp mutated to become a demon beast!"

Wei Qiuxin said with confidence.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly.

"Having dragon horns, the moment the fish cast that light cluster spell, the dragon horns appeared, could it be that this is the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp, a naturally born Great Demon?"

"Even if it's not the complete version, it surely must have a connection with the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp!"

The more Zhou Xun thought, the more it seemed reasonable; though he couldn't determine the fish's origin, it must be extraordinary.

Then Zhou Xun looked at this plump carp.

This beast should belong to Zhou Mou!
