Myriad Rivers to the Sea

In a world where your future is decided by the spirit you awaken, orphan Li Yu seems doomed from the start. His awakened spirit is a blood-red koi fish, ranked as a lowly Grade One spirit that most people consider nothing more than a decoration for a pond. Mocked by everyone around him and written off as a failure, Li Yu appears to have no future at all.

But his seemingly useless spirit hides a shocking secret—it can devour the spiritual energy and life force of aquatic creatures, allowing it to grow stronger in ways no one could imagine.

Instead of chasing glory, Li Yu takes an unexpected path. He joins the prestigious Green Mountain Sect as a humble laborer and willingly accepts the most unwanted job: raising fish in the sect’s aquatic beast pens. Surrounded by countless cultivation resources that others overlook, he quietly begins building his strength in secret.

With powerful cultivation techniques and an ability that conceals his true power, Li Yu stays hidden among the sect’s disciples and elders. While everyone sees an ordinary, hardworking orphan, they have no idea that he is slowly growing into a terrifying force—one destined to rise from a tiny koi into a leviathan capable of swallowing the seas.
