NOVPUBBefore his eyes, there was no longer a tiny pond.
But rather, it was as if the whole sky were full of stars!
Countless dazzling orbs of light, hidden within.
In the fleeting images that flitted across them, Ji Shaoli could vaguely make out images of exotic beasts, magic treasures, and even cultivators battling!
And Ji Shaoli was sitting cross-legged above this starry sky.
Casting down a strand of fishing line!
The innumerable orbs of light, just like fish in a pond.
At first, startled, they all instinctively fled.
Then, a few driven by curiosity, slowly approached.
These orbs of light were divided into white, green, blue, purple, orange, and other colors.
The white orbs almost emitted no special aura.
From green to orange, the orbs’ imposing aura gradually grew stronger.
Even amid the star sea, the flash of gold and purple-gold orbs contained an aura that made Ji Shaoli, who had seen the Immortal Sovereign and True Immortal Remains, quite alarmed.
"What the hell is this thing..."
Even though he had reincarnated a hundred times and seen many grand scenes.
The spectacle now before Ji Shaoli’s eyes still made him momentarily lose his composure.
His mind was greatly shaken, and his composure shattered.
In an instant, he retreated from the state of fishing in the starry sky!
The sky full of starlight vanished, and before him was but an ordinary little pond.
"This..."
Ji Shaoli unconsciously clenched his fists, taking a deep breath.
With his extensive experience, he had come to realize that he might have found something remarkable!
With his temperament, it took him quite some time to completely calm his emotions.
Once again adopting the pure mindset of a fisherman, Ji Shaoli cast his line out!
However...
The scene before him did not change in the slightest.
Ji Shaoli gripped the fishing rod tightly, and after a little pondering, he recalled the scene of Zhong Shentong and his disciple simply casting their lines.
"It seems there is a limit to the number of times within a certain time interval."
Feeling somewhat regretful in his heart, he put away the fishing rod and withdrew the concealment spell.
He once again lurked and spied from a distance.
In the little temple, the life of master and disciple seemed unchanging.
Each day was nothing but a routine of eating, resting, and fishing.
When Zhong Shentong went fishing again, he only caught a white orb and returned disheartened.
The little Daoist achieved nothing once again.
Finally, it was Ji Shaoli’s turn to take action.
Taking a deep breath, as an experienced fisherman, he adjusted his state of mind to the best condition.
Then he cast his rod!
After a moment, Ji Shaoli returned to the endless starry sky!
Not his first time seeing this extremely magnificent spectacle, he had grown accustomed to it in his heart.
This time, he managed to maintain the state of fishing in the starry sky.
"Fishing requires bait, but what is needed to hook these orbs of light?" Ji Shaoli mused as he watched the majority of the orbs of light quickly moving away, leaving behind a large empty area.
Clearly, this place was not within the bounds of the Xuanhuang World.
It was instead an entirely separate space.
With a mere bare rod and Ji Shaoli’s own body existing merely as a pure image.
There was naturally no talk of adding bait to the fishing rod.
"Could it be that it’s simply a matter of the willing being hooked?" Ji Shaoli couldn’t help thinking so.
Because he noticed that, as time elapsed.
It seemed that the orbs of light were growing accustomed to his dangling fishing line, gradually approaching.
Some were even attracted, curiously touching it.
When a white orb got too close and was suddenly stuck fast to the fishing line.
Ji Shaoli only felt the rod dip downward.
Afterward, he involuntarily and subconsciously gave a tug.
The scene before him shattered with a boom, and he found himself back in the small temple amidst the mountains.
However, in his hand was an additional white orb of light.
Within the orb, there seemed to be a separate world. His divine sense couldn’t penetrate it.
Ji Shaoli mimicked the movements he had seen Zhong Shentong perform earlier, reaching out and fumbling around.
Eventually, after extracting a dark green stone, the orb of light slowly dissipated.
"This is..."
By now, Ji Shaoli could certainly be considered well-informed.
But after examining it, he found that he had never seen an ore with such a texture in his hands!
"It’s either an extremely rare variety, or it’s..."
"Not of the Xuanhuang World!"
"The white orb of light should represent the lowest value level in the starry sky. It shouldn’t be precious to the point where it’s unheard of by me."
"That being the case, my guess might not be wrong."
Ji Shaoli’s eyes sparkled.
This fishing pond here must be a supreme exotic treasure from another Immortal Cultivation World.
Even, it is very likely, an Immortal Instrument from the Immortal World!
In his 115th life, at the end of his life, Li Fan, with the help of the Medicine King True Cauldron, made it to the Immortal Ruins and once saw True Immortal Remains.
Therefore, he was able to experience the majesty of the Fairy.
However, at this moment, he once again felt an aura of power equal to that of the True Immortal Remains from the endless starry sky within this fishing pond!
And it was not just a single trace!
Those fleeting orbs of purple gold and dark gold speeding through the starry sky gave him a feeling that was unmistakably no less than that of a True Immortal!
"It should not be an illusion."
"Even if there are some errors, the status of this fishing pond must definitely be extremely high."
A glint flashed in Ji Shaoli’s eyes.
He then remembered rumors he had heard before.
Immortal Instruments did exist in the Ancient Xuanhuang World.
However, when the Great Calamity occurred, all Immortal Instruments, and even Fairy relics, disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be, this fishing pond is one of the fortunate Immortal Instruments that was left behind?"
"With no background whatsoever, and just a mortal, Zhong Shentong was able to obtain ’The Mystical Skill of Life and Death’ and even the Seven-color Divine Light Divine Technique."
"Is it all because of this fishing pond?"
In an instant, Ji Shaoli figured out the possible cause and effect.
"This fishing pond is very special. It can only be discovered with the heart of a fisher. Perhaps this is also the reason it has been preserved in its entirety to this day."
Ji Shaoli’s thoughts were myriad, and the covetousness in his heart surged up uncontrollably.
However, since his mental fortitude was far above that of ordinary people, he quickly suppressed his greed.
Having used up his tries for the day, Ji Shaoli did not choose to act rashly.
Instead, he temporarily withdrew once again.
On the third day, after Master Zhong Shentong once again caught nothing, Ji Shaoli stood by the pond again and cast another line.
When he thought about the fishing pond possibly containing power related to [Immortal],/fluttered in his heart.
But perhaps it was for this very reason, after entering the fishing star space for a moment, he was forcibly expelled.
Ji Shaoli paused, then suddenly understood, "Is it that all treasure seekers and those trying to probe secrets are unacceptable?"
"Only the true fisher can enter the starry sky."
Having understood, Ji Shaoli couldn’t help but shake his head.
He could only wait for the next day to come.
At the same time, he adjusted his mindset.
After completely suppressing the greed in his heart, Ji Shaoli successfully entered once again.
This time, he cast his line with exceptional seriousness.
The fishing line slowly dropped down, and the myriad orbs of light surged up once more.
