Liu Buzhu swallowed the blood rising in his throat and stared at the sword wound, deep enough to expose bone, reflected on the lake's surface. This body had only three quarters of an hour left to live.
The bloodstained fishing rod suddenly trembled. "Ding!
Fishing System activated!
Catch spirit fish to extend your life, and immortal artifacts to turn the tide!"
The instant the thousand-year-old dragon loach lurking at the bottom of the lake took the bait, a surge of bonus experience flowed through his meridians like a warm current.
When Shi Yunfeng saw his master break through from Qi Refining straight to the Golden Core Realm, the natal spirit sword in his scabbard gave a submissive hum. When Hu Yichen discovered that the "good-for-nothing" hunted by the Rogue Cultivators' Alliance had actually cast a fishing line infused with heavenly lightning in a forbidden zone for Deity Transformation cultivators...
Beneath the roiling currents of the immortal realm, wherever the fishing rod pointed, spirit springs gave birth to immortal arts, and demonic abysses hid reincarnation.
Catch a hundred fish to unlock the Heaven-River Reversal Art. Catch a thousand to glimpse the projection of the Fishing Immortal Hall.
But the ancient blood curses rising to the surface along with the fish are quietly ensnaring the Thirty-Three Heavens, which are on the verge of collapse.
"Warning!
Demonic bait remaining: 3 uses!" As the System's red light pierced his sea of consciousness, Liu Buzhu's hook caught the ninth innate supreme treasure. At the end of the fishing line was the fate of the entire immortal realm.
