zài mò rú bīn gēn tiān xuán jìng shēn shàng chī le zhè me dà kuī ， yào shuō lǐ fán yì diǎn bào fù de dǎ suàn dōu méi yǒu ， nà shì gēn běn bù kě néng de shì qíng 。
在墨儒斌跟天玄镜身上吃了这么大亏，要说李凡一点报复的打算都没有，那是根本不可能的事情。
After suffering such a significant loss against Mo Roubin and the Heavenly Mirror, it was impossible for Li Fan to have no thoughts of revenge.
bù guò mò rú bīn shēn wèi xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng zhī yī ， néng lì tài guò xuán hū 。 lián qián rù wàn xiān méng zǒng bù dōu rú rù wú rén zhī jìng 。
不过墨儒斌身为玄天教法王之一，能力太过玄乎。连潜入万仙盟总部都如入无人之境。
However, as one of the High Deity Masters of the Xuan Tian Sect, Mo Roubin's abilities were too mysterious. He could even infiltrate the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance with ease.
suī shuō hòu lái bù míng bù bái de sǐ zài yōu jiè ， dàn lǐ fán xiàn zài què méi yǒu bǎi fēn bǎi néng jiāng qí shè fú de bǎ wò 。
虽说后来不明不白的死在幽界，但李凡现在却没有百分百能将其慑服的把握。
Although he died mysteriously in the Shadow Realm later on, Li Fan did not have a hundred percent confidence that he could subdue him now.
méi yǒu gēn běn lì yì chōng tū de qián tí xià ， lǐ fán zhè yī shì zàn shí hái méi yǒu zhāo rě tā de dǎ suàn 。
没有根本利益冲突的前提下，李凡这一世暂时还没有招惹他的打算。
Without fundamental conflicts of interest, Li Fan had no immediate plans to provoke Mo Roubin this lifetime.
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ àn zhōng xué xí xià ， wàn xiān méng shì rú hé duì fù zhè wèi xuán tiān jiào fǎ wáng de 。”
“或许可以暗中学习下，万仙盟是如何对付这位玄天教法王的。”
"Perhaps I can secretly learn how the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance deals with this High Deity Master from Xuan Tian Sect."
àn zhào zhèng cháng lì shǐ guǐ jì ， mò rú bīn jiāng huì zài méi yǒu sū xǐng de qíng kuàng xià ， bèi wàn xiān méng gěi wā chū lái 。
按照正常历史轨迹，墨儒斌将会在没有苏醒的情况下，被万仙盟给挖出来。
Following the normal historical trajectory, Mo Roubin would be dug out by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance before he could regain consciousness.
huò xǔ wàn xiān méng nèi bù ， hái yǐn cáng zhe shén me duì fù xuán tiān jiào chéng yuán tè bié de shǒu duàn yě shuō bù dìng 。 xiān fā zhì rén zhī xià ， mò rú bīn kě néng dí què shī qù le fǎn kàng de lì liàng 。
或许万仙盟内部，还隐藏着什么对付玄天教成员特别的手段也说不定。先发制人之下，墨儒斌可能的确失去了反抗的力量。
There might still be special methods within the alliance to deal with Xuan Tian Sect members. By striking first, Mo Roubin might indeed lose his ability to resist.
dào shí hòu lǐ fán jiù kě yǐ yǒu yàng xué yàng ， jīn hòu shì shì rú cǐ páo zhì mò rú bīn 。
到时候李凡就可以有样学样，今后世世如此炮制墨儒斌。
At that point, Li Fan could follow their lead and continue this pattern in future lifetimes.
dàn rú guǒ mò rú bīn gēn 119 shì yī yàng ， zhǐ bù guò shì jiǎ zhuāng bèi zhì fú 、 shí zé jiè jī qián rù ……
但如果墨儒斌跟119世一样，只不过是假装被制服、实则借机潜入……
But if Mo Roubin acted like he did in the 119th lifetime—pretending to be subdued while secretly infiltrating—
nà me zài méi yǒu zhǎo dào duì fù tā dí què qiè fāng fǎ zhī qián ， lǐ fán bú huì zhǔ dòng yǔ mò rú bīn wèi dí 。
那么在没有找到对付他的确切方法之前，李凡不会主动与墨儒斌为敌。
Li Fan would not actively confront him until a surefire method was found.
zhì yú tiān xuán jìng 。
至于天玄镜。
As for the Heavenly Mirror,
shēn xié yī dào tiān xuán jìng běn yuán ， yǐ jīng chù zài bù bài zhī dì 。
身携一道天玄镜本源，已经处在不败之地。
Holding onto its essence, it already had an unassailable position.
xiàn zài yòu zhǎng wò le néng gòu kuī tàn qí nèi bù de fāng fǎ ……
现在又掌握了能够窥探其内部的方法……
Now that Li Fan had mastered how to probe its interior...
tiān yǔ bù qǔ ， fǎn shòu qí jiù ！
天予不取，反受其咎！
Opportunities lost are opportunities gained!
lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng kuài sù sī cǔn qǐ lái 。
李凡脑海中快速思忖起来。
Li Fan's mind raced as he transformed into a virtual light and entered the Boundless Mirror.
“ wàn xiān méng zài gè dà zōng mén yí jì xún zhǎo mò rú bīn ， jiù shì wèi le tuī dòng zhǎo dào qián zhì tiān xuán jìng de zuì zhōng fāng fǎ 。 zhè bèi hòu yīng dāng yǒu zhǎng jìng rén yī mài de mò mò tuī dòng 。”
“万仙盟在各大宗门遗迹寻找墨儒斌，就是为了推动找到钳制天玄镜的最终方法。这背后应当有掌镜人一脉的默默推动。”
Inside, he continued to construct arrays, solidifying his control.
“ cāng 、 fú ， hē hē 。 zhè liǎng wèi dōu bú shì shén me shàn chá 。”
“苍、伏，呵呵。这两位都不是什么善茬。”
While waiting for Sun Luoyuan's return to the secret chamber, he also studied the traces of the Immortal-level Great Array left behind in the Boundless Mirror.
“ bù guò què yě shì wǒ de jī huì suǒ zài 。”
“不过却也是我的机会所在。”
...
sī xù yǒng dòng ， lǐ fán chóng xīn huà zuò yī dào xū guāng ， dùn rù wú liàng jìng zhōng 。
思绪涌动，李凡重新化作一道虚光，遁入无量镜中。
In Daxia, the Holy Capital,
zài qí nèi bù yòng jì xù gòu jiàn zhèn fǎ ， wěn gù kòng zhì quán 。
在其内部用继续构建阵法，稳固控制权。
During this period, with Wang Xuanbao tirelessly traveling across the Xuanhuang Realm,
děng dài sūn lù yuǎn fǎn huí mì shì de tóng shí ， yě shùn biàn yán jiū wú liàng jìng cán cún de xiān jí dà zhèn de hén jì 。
等待孙路远返回密室的同时，也顺便研究无量镜残存的仙级大阵的痕迹。
Apart from Yin Shangren, the "Xuanhuang Stars" selected by Li Ping—such as Ou Daozi and Western Gate Fei—were all lured into the Holy Dynasty Daxia.
……
……
Of course, not everyone was convinced. Some even killed Wang Xuanbao's avatar in self-defense.
dà qǐ ， shèng jīng 。
大启，圣京。
Wang Xuanbao remained unperturbed, noting down their names and reporting them to the Holy Emperor.
zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ ， suí zhe wáng xuán bà bù cí xīn kǔ de pǎo biàn xuán huáng jiè gè chù 。
这段时间里，随着王玄霸不辞辛苦的跑遍玄黄界各处。
Then he moved on to invite the next person.
chú le yīn shàng rén zhī wài ， ōu dào zi fù zǐ 、 xī mén yǔ děng bèi lǐ píng xuǎn zhōng de “ xuán huáng zhī xīng ”， yě quán dōu bèi wáng xuán bà píng jiè zhe shèng huáng jiào shòu de shuō cí ， gěi hū yōu dào le shèng cháo dà qǐ zhī nèi 。
除了殷上人之外，欧道子父子、西门羽等被李平选中的“玄黄之星”，也全都被王玄霸凭借着圣皇教授的说辞，给忽悠到了圣朝大启之内。
After arriving in Daxia, the Xuanhuang Stars were warmly received by Li Ping. Like Yin Shangren, they settled into the Holy Dynasty.
dāng rán ， zhè fèn míng dān lǐ ， yě bú shì suǒ yǒu rén dōu bèi shuō dòng le 。 bù jǐn jù jué le yāo qǐng ， yǒu xiē shèn zhì hái jiāng wáng xuán bà de fēn shēn gěi dǎ shā le 。
当然，这份名单里，也不是所有人都被说动了。不仅拒绝了邀请，有些甚至还将王玄霸的分身给打杀了。
Each of them found their own ventures.
wáng xuán bà yě bù qì nǎo ， zhǐ shì jiāng zhè xiē rén míng zì jì xià 、 shàng bào shèng huáng 。
王玄霸也不气恼，只是将这些人名字记下、上报圣皇。
For instance, Western Gate Fei was promised assistance in researching the power of earth veins. Some crucial information about ancient earth trees was also revealed to him.
ér hòu lüè guò ， qù qǐng xià yí gè rén 。
而后略过，去请下一个人。
Ou Daozi would be responsible for constructing the new capital of Daxia's Holy Capital and designing overall renovations for each newly conquered small world.
xuán huáng zhòng xīng dào dá dà qǐ hòu ， zài lǐ píng de qīn zì jiē dài xià ， tā men jù shì gēn yīn shàng rén yī yàng 、 zì cǐ zài shèng cháo ān dìng xià lái 。
玄黄众星到达大启后，在李平的亲自接待下，他们俱是跟殷上人一样、自此在圣朝安定下来。
More importantly, Li Ping recognized that Ou Shangtian possessed both the Kun乾Bone Hand and the Ten Thousand Deaths Ledger. He then took Ou Shangtian as his direct disciple.
yǒu le gè zì de shì yè 。
有了各自的事业。
Ou Shangtian did not detect any malice from Li Ping.
bǐ rú xī mén yǔ ， lǐ píng xǔ nuò huì bāng zhù tā shēn rù duì dì mài lì liàng de yán jiū 。 bìng qiě hái tòu lù le yī xiē guān yú dì mài gǔ shù de zhòng yào xiāo xī 。
比如西门羽，李平许诺会帮助他深入对地脉力量的研究。并且还透露了一些关于地脉古树的重要消息。
Moreover, the interesting tales of the cultivation world and profound Daoist principles mentioned by the Holy Emperor captivated young Ou Shangtian deeply.
bǐ rú ōu dào zi ， jiāng fù zé dà qǐ xīn shèng jīng de jiàn zào gōng zuò 。 bìng qiě rì hòu shèng cháo měi gè zhēng fú de xiǎo shì jiè ， dōu jiāng yóu ōu dào zi zuò wéi zǒng guī huà shè jì shī ， jìn xíng zǒng tǐ gǎi zào 。
比如欧道子，将负责大启新圣京的建造工作。并且日后圣朝每个征服的小世界，都将由欧道子作为总规划设计师，进行总体改造。
Thus, he willingly became a disciple.
gèng guān jiàn de shì ， lǐ píng yī yǎn jiù kàn chū le ōu shàng tiān shēn huái kūn qián gǔ shǒu 、 wàn sǐ bù zhè liǎng zhǒng qí wù 。 suí hòu tā jiāng ōu shàng tiān shōu wèi qīn chuán dì zǐ 。
更关键的是，李平一眼就看出了欧尚天身怀坤乾骨手、万死簿这两种奇物。随后他将欧尚天收为亲传弟子。
Life is about seeking fame, wealth, or inner peace.
cóng lǐ píng shēn shàng ， ōu shàng tiān bìng méi yǒu gǎn dào sī háo de è yì 。
从李平身上，欧尚天并没有感到丝毫的恶意。
And these were all provided by the Holy Emperor Li Ping.
bìng qiě shèng huáng tán tǔ jiān suǒ shuō zhǒng zhǒng yǒu qù de xiū xiān jiè mì wén yǐ jí zhū duō dà dào xuán lǐ ， dí què shēn shēn xī yǐn le nián yòu de ōu shàng tiān 。
并且圣皇谈吐间所说种种有趣的修仙界秘闻以及诸多大道玄理，的确深深吸引了年幼的欧尚天。
As for those who did not respond to his call...
suǒ yǐ yě jiù xīn gān qíng yuàn de bài shī le 。
所以也就心甘情愿的拜师了。
Their fates had already been decided in Li Ping's mind.
rén huó yī shì ， wú fēi qiú míng 、 qiú lì 、 qiú xīn 。
人活一世，无非求名、求利、求心。
Under the Holy Emperor,
ér zhè xiē ， shèng huáng lǐ píng dōu néng mǎn zú tā men 。
而这些，圣皇李平都能满足他们。
Deeper than Yin Shangren’s underground chamber,
zhì yú nà xiē yìng zhào bù lái zhě ……
至于那些应召不来者……
The Divine Surveillance Bureau, a secret intelligence agency of the Holy Dynasty, was gradually established.
tā men de jié jú zài lǐ píng xīn zhōng yǐ jīng jué dìng 。
他们的结局在李平心中已经决定。
As the central node of the Heaven and Earth Great Array, everything within small worlds could be fully observed under its array.
shèng huáng zuò xià 。
圣皇座下。
After Daxia embarked on its conquests, these small worlds would also be strictly monitored by the Divine Surveillance Bureau.
bǐ qǐ yīn shàng rén dì xià mì shì hái yào gēng shēn chù 。
比起殷上人地下密室还要更深处。
Moreover,
míng wèi jiān tiān sī de shèng cháo mì mì qíng bào jī gòu ， yǐ jīng zhú bù jiàn lì qǐ lái 。
名为监天司的圣朝秘密情报机构，已经逐步建立起来。
In Li Ping’s vision, the name "Divine Surveillance" was not limited to just those small worlds.
zuò wéi tiān dì wàn líng dà zhèn de zhōng yāng jié diǎn ， zhèn fǎ lǒng zhào zhī xià ， xiǎo shì jiè nèi yī qiè shì wù 、 dōu kě jǐn lǎn wú yú 。
作为天地万灵大阵的中央节点，阵法笼罩之下，小世界内一切事务、都可尽览无余。
Even the Xuanhuang Realm itself could be included.
děng dài rì hòu shèng cháo kāi qǐ zhēng fá zhī lù ， jiāng qí tā xiǎo shì jiè yī cì nà rù bǎn tú hòu 。 tā men yě jiāng tóng yàng bèi jiān tiān sī suǒ yán gé jiān kòng 。
等待日后圣朝开启征伐之路，将其他小世界依次纳入版图后。它们也将同样被监天司所严格监控。
The Paper Men of the Passage Through Tribulations Sect and the Heavenly Mirror...
bù jǐn rú cǐ 。
不仅如此。
With these as a foundation, building a rough intelligence system would not be difficult.
zài lǐ píng de yù xiǎng zhī zhōng ， jiān tiān zhī míng ， bù jǐn jǐn shì zhēn duì nà xiē xiǎo shì jiè 。
在李平的预想之中，监天之名，不仅仅是针对那些小世界。
The Divine Surveillance Bureau's agents would be personally selected by Li Ping.
shèn zhì xuán huáng běn jiè ， dōu yào náng kuò zài nèi 。
甚至玄黄本界，都要囊括在内。
The transformation brought about by the Heaven Opens Its Embrace and Ten Stars Descend to Earth event had already shown initial effects. In recent months, many infants born in Daxia exhibited extraordinary abilities.
dù è zōng zhǐ rén 、 tiān xuán jìng ……
渡厄宗纸人、天玄镜……
Holy Physicians were widespread across the land. As soon as a baby was born, their constitution would be instantly perceived by Li Ping.
yǒu zhè xiē zuò wéi jī chǔ ， xiǎng yào jiàn zào yī tào dà zhì de qíng bào xì tǒng ， bìng bú shì shén me nán shì 。
有这些作为基础，想要建造一套大致的情报系统，并不是什么难事。
From a young age, they would undergo personal training from Li Ping. They would either join the Divine Surveillance Bureau or participate in Yin Shangren's new method of law reform...
jiān tiān sī àn zi ， jiāng yóu lǐ píng qīn zì tiāo xuǎn 。
监天司暗子，将由李平亲自挑选。
Every resource had its use.
【 tiān kāi qí juàn ， zhòng xīng jiàng shì 】 de tiān dì zhī biàn duì dà qǐ xiǎo shì jiè de yǐng xiǎng yǐ jīng chū bù xiǎn xiàn ， zuì jìn yī duàn shí jiān shèng cháo suǒ dàn shēng de yīng ér lǐ ， qí zhōng bù fá shēng ér jiù xiǎn xiàn chū yì néng zhě 。
【天开其眷，众星降世】的天地之变对大启小世界的影响已经初步显现，最近一段时间圣朝所诞生的婴儿里，其中不乏生而就显现出异能者。
The growth of talent and the empire required time.
shèng yī suǒ biàn bù gè dì ， suǒ yǒu yīng ér yī jiàng shēng ， tā men de tǐ zhì lǐ píng dū huì lì kè gǎn zhī dào 。
圣医所遍布各地，所有婴儿一降生，他们的体质李平都会立刻感知到。
Daxia was developing at an unprecedented pace. However, what was currently drawing the most attention within the Holy Dynasty was a grand fishing competition.
cóng xiǎo jiù jiāng jiē shòu lǐ píng de qīn zì xùn liàn ， tā men zài zhǎng dà hòu ， huò qián wǎng jiān tiān sī 、 huò cān yù yīn shàng rén de xīn fǎ tuī yǎn jì huà ……
从小就将接受李平的亲自训练，他们在长大后，或前往监天司、或参与殷上人的新法推衍计划……
A national fishing contest.
wù jìn qí yòng 。
物尽其用。
Ordered by the Holy Emperor himself, anyone interested could participate, regardless of prior experience.
rén cái yì huò zhě shì dì guó de chéng zhǎng ， dōu xū yào shí jiān 。
人才亦或者是帝国的成长，都需要时间。
Regional winners would advance to compete in the final round in the Holy Capital, where the Holy Emperor would also appear to share in the fun.
shèng cháo dà qǐ zài yī zhǒng chāo hū cháng guī de sù dù fā zhǎn ， bù guò dāng xià ， shèng cháo zhōng zuì wèi yǐn rén guān zhù de ， què shì yī cháng shēng shì hào dà de bǐ sài 。
圣朝大启在一种超乎常规的速度发展，不过当下，圣朝中最为引人关注的，却是一场声势浩大的比赛。
The top hundred contestants would receive generous rewards, ensuring a comfortable life for an ordinary family.
diào yú bǐ sài 。
钓鱼比赛。
Those who performed exceptionally well might even receive unique special rewards from the Holy Emperor.
yóu shèng huáng qīn zì xià lìng jǔ bàn ， quán guó fàn wéi nèi ， fán shì duì cǐ gǎn xìng qù zhě 、 jiē kě cān jiā 。 wú lùn cǐ qián shì fǒu yǒu chuí diào jīng yàn 。
由圣皇亲自下令举办，全国范围内，凡是对此感兴趣者、皆可参加。无论此前是否有垂钓经验。
News of the competition had been circulating for half a month. The response was overwhelming.
gè dì qū xiān jué chū yōu shèng zhě ， ér hòu qián wǎng shèng jīng cān jiā zuì hòu de bǐ shì 。
各地区先决出优胜者，而后前往圣京参加最后的比试。
If not for the assistance of Holy Dynasty Immortals in various regions, the entire river would have been fished dry, leading to a situation where there were no fish left to catch.
dào shí hòu shèng huáng yě huì xiàn shēn ， yǔ mín tóng lè 。
到时候圣皇也会现身，与民同乐。
Not only commoners but also the disciples of the Holy Emperor would participate, further fueling people's enthusiasm.
dà sài qián yì bǎi míng ， jù yǒu fēng hòu de jiǎng lì ， zú yǐ ràng yí gè pǔ tōng jiā tíng yī bèi zi yī shí wú yōu 。
大赛前一百名，俱有丰厚的奖励，足以让一个普通家庭一辈子衣食无忧。
It was well-known that the Holy Emperor had repeatedly stated he would not and did not have any descendants.
ér ruò shì zài dà sài zhōng biǎo xiàn chū sè zhě ， jù shuō hái huì yǒu shèng huáng de é wài dú tè jiǎng shǎng 。
而若是在大赛中表现出色者，据说还会有圣皇的额外独特奖赏。
His disciples were undoubtedly the successors of the Holy Dynasty.
xiāo xī yǐ jīng zhuàn chū bàn gè yuè ， xiǎng yìng zhě bù jì qí shù 。
消息已经传出半个月，响应者不计其数。
If one could impress the Holy Emperor in this fishing contest and be taken as a true disciple...
ruò bú shì gè dì dōu yǒu shèng cháo xiān shī xié zhù ， kǒng pà zhěng gè jiāng hé zhōng de yú ， dōu yào bèi bǔ huò yī kōng 。 cóng ér xiàn rù dào wú yú kě diào de gān gà jìng dì 。
若不是各地都有圣朝仙师协助，恐怕整个江河中的鱼，都要被捕获一空。从而陷入到无鱼可钓的尴尬境地。
Leaping over the dragon gate, it is now!
chú le xún cháng bǎi xìng ， shèng huáng dì zǐ men ， yě dōu jiāng huì cān sài 。
除了寻常百姓，圣皇弟子们，也都将会参赛。
Driven by these rumors, the people of Daxia had become obsessed with "fishing."
zhè wú yì gèng shì jí dà de jī fā le rén men de rè qíng 。
这无异更是极大的激发了人们的热情。
It was even more important than reading or cultivation.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， shèng huáng céng jīng bù zhǐ yī cì dí dàng zhòng shuō guò ， tā xiàn zài méi yǒu jīn hòu yě bú huì yǒu hòu dài dàn xià 。
众所周知，圣皇曾经不止一次的当众说过，他现在没有今后也不会有后代诞下。
Li Ping watched all of this unfold.
shèng huáng wú zi sì 。
圣皇无子嗣。
Allowing and even encouraging it naturally served his purpose—the Fishing Pool Treasure.
tā de dì zǐ ， háo wú yí wèn jiù shì shèng cháo de jiē bān rén 。
他的弟子，毫无疑问就是圣朝的接班人。
This Immortal Artifact transcended the Xuanhuang Realm.
ruò shì néng zài chuí diào dà sài zhōng bèi shèng huáng kàn shàng ， shōu wèi zhēn chuán ……
若是能在垂钓大赛中被圣皇看上，收为真传……
Innumerable opportunities lay within.
yú yuè lóng mén ， jiù zài jīn zhāo ！
鱼跃龙门，就在今朝！
Perhaps it held the key to breaking through his current predicament.
zhǒng zhǒng chuán wén de jī lì xià ， rú jīn de dà qǐ mín jiān duì yú “ diào ”， shèn zhì yǐ jīng dào le yǒu xiē fēng mó de dì bù 。
种种传闻的激励下，如今的大启民间对于“钓”，甚至已经到了有些疯魔的地步。
An opportunity to gain numerous divine treasures without cost was not one he would miss.
shèn zhì bǐ qǐ dú shū 、 xiū xíng ， dōu gèng jiā zhòng yào 。
甚至比起读书、修行，都更加重要。
Even a single secret treasure pulled from this pool could significantly boost Daxia's combat strength.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lǐ píng zì rán shì quán dōu kàn zài yǎn lǐ 。
而这一切，李平自然是全都看在眼里。
Today’s update is just one chapter...
zhī suǒ yǐ fàng rèn 、 shèn zhì tuī bō zhù lán ， zì rán shì wèi le zhì bǎo diào yú chí 。
之所以放任、甚至推波助澜，自然是为了至宝钓鱼池。
The writer is stuck again...
zhè jiàn xiān qì ， shèn zhì shì chāo yuè xuán huáng jiè de cún zài 。
这件仙器，甚至是超越玄黄界的存在。

...
In Daxia, the Holy Capital,
During this period, with Wang Xuanbao tirelessly traveling across the Xuanhuang Realm,
Apart from Yin Shangren, the "Xuanhuang Stars" selected by Li Ping—such as Ou Daozi and Western Gate Fei—were all lured into the Holy Dynasty Daxia.
Of course, not everyone was convinced. Some even killed Wang Xuanbao's avatar in self-defense.

The top hundred contestants would receive generous rewards, ensuring a comfortable life for an ordinary family.
Those who performed exceptionally well might even receive unique special rewards from the Holy Emperor.
News of the competition had been circulating for half a month. The response was overwhelming.
If not for the assistance of Holy Dynasty Immortals in various regions, the entire river would have been fished dry, leading to a situation where there were no fish left to catch.
Not only commoners but also the disciples of the Holy Emperor would participate, further fueling people's enthusiasm.
It was well-known that the Holy Emperor had repeatedly stated he would not and did not have any descendants.
His disciples were undoubtedly the successors of the Holy Dynasty.
If one could impress the Holy Emperor in this fishing contest and be taken as a true disciple...
Leaping over the dragon gate, it is now!

It was even more important than reading or cultivation.
Li Ping watched all of this unfold.
Allowing and even encouraging it naturally served his purpose—the Fishing Pool Treasure.
This Immortal Artifact transcended the Xuanhuang Realm.
Innumerable opportunities lay within.
Perhaps it held the key to breaking through his current predicament.
An opportunity to gain numerous divine treasures without cost was not one he would miss.
Even a single secret treasure pulled from this pool could significantly boost Daxia's combat strength.
