The Whole World Had Turned Upside Down

A Bronze Bottle, about four inches tall, with a round belly and a cross-sectional diameter of about two inches, has a slender neck covered with spots of copper rust.

It drifted across the black sea dozens of miles away, and no one else would have noticed it, but Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye could see it clearly and observe the fine texture on the bottle.

The fiery red True Return Fish vanished in a flash, gone without a trace.

Since that's the case, let's retrieve the bottle first. He cast his line, and with a whoosh, it flew dozens of miles through the thin mist, precisely entangled the bottle, and was fished back.

As for fishing, there's no rush. Once he learned that there were True Return Fish in this sea area, Wang Xuan was completely relieved. He would then focus all his efforts on fishing for this rare delicacy.

The Bronze Bottle is small but exquisite. Beneath the mottled patina are animal masks, fairies treading on waves, all quite vivid and beautiful, and even swirling star rivers, as if connected to another world, flowing with Daoist charm.

"These days, you can find messages in bottles everywhere, even in the Mysterious Sea. I wonder who threw them in." He was quite curious.

Wang Xuan turned the bottle over and over, but found nothing special. Then he looked at the bottle opening and saw a copper stopper with densely engraved characters, which looked like some kind of sealing pattern.

He frowned and prepared the killing formation diagram, wondering what was inside the bottle.

He used the Dao Control Banner as a crowbar, first tapping the bronze plug, and then trying to pry it out with the tip of his spear.

Using contraband in this way is arguably the most rudimentary approach, a return to the primitive state of tool use. Of course, outsiders would likely be astonished if they saw it.

Without damaging the bronze plug, Wang Xuan pried it out with a bang.

Instantly, a cloud of green mist burst forth violently. Wang Xuan quickly retreated, remaining on high alert. Could it be some kind of deadly poison?

The fog was very thick, and a Green-haired Old Man instantly materialized, his energy fluctuations were very strong, he should be at least a creature in the Heavenly Grade Mid-Late Stage.

"Fellow Daoist, you rescued me from my predicament?" he asked, sounding very excited. He looked up at the sky and sighed, "Finally, I'm back in the world. Fellow Daoist, I must repay you properly."

"Senior, I only found the Bronze Bottle by accident in the water. The stopper was about to fall off anyway, so I dare not take credit for it," Wang Xuan said.

"Is that so? You are a true immortal?" the Green-haired Old Man asked, stretching his limbs and observing the demonic runes flowing around his body. He was indeed a Mid Heavenly Grade Realm expert, rapidly absorbing Supernatural Factor.

"Yes, I've met you before, senior."

Then, the Green-haired Old Man launched an attack. After carefully sensing and confirming his cultivation level, he reached out with a large, green hand and grabbed at his head without any hesitation.

"Human True Immortal, your scent is repulsive to me. Come here and let me see how the Mysterious Sea the Vanished all these years."

The Green-haired Old Man repaid kindness with enmity, attacking Wang Xuan; this was clearly an attempt to directly search his soul.

He laughed loudly, "I, the ancestor, have finally escaped! Haha... As long as the Fishbone Palace is destroyed, we await the wise men to lead us in a counterattack!"

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. His so-called speaking was just a powerful mental fluctuation that could be expressed in an instant.

His large hand was close to Wang Xuan's scalp. Without a doubt, this was the work of a very fierce old demon, not a kind person!

Puff!

To his astonishment, the young man opposite him was carrying a small, tattered flag. There was no violent energy fluctuation; he simply shook the flag, and his arm... was gone.

Then, he was slapped in the face with a flag, and half of his head was instantly smashed open. Blood mixed with bone fragments and teeth blew out, which was extremely horrific.

He was close to the late Heavenly Grade and was a great demon in the sea, but he was unable to move because of the flag, which shocked and terrified him. This was something he had never experienced before.

"Tell me, who are you? What is the origin of the Fishbone Palace? What is the situation in the Mysterious Sea?" Wang Xuan looked at him expressionlessly and pressed him directly for answers.

The Green-haired Old Man swallowed hard, feeling his body trembling. The flag that had not been revived made his soul tremble.

This was completely different from what he had expected. Wasn't it supposed to be a great demon escaping and a king returning? How could he suddenly become a prisoner, thrown from the human world into the eighteenth level of hell?

"I am a celestial demon from the Fishbone Palace. Years ago, when I was fishing for people, I accidentally got fished myself. As a result, my opponent didn't want my flesh and blood, thinking it had no medicinal properties, so they sealed me away and threw me back into the Mysterious Sea." He had half a head missing, but he still spoke quickly, looking rather pitiful.

Wang Xuan wanted to hit him as soon as he heard that. "Another fish that likes to fish people out of their lives?"

He was somewhat suspicious. What was going on in this Mysterious Sea? The strange fish here seemed to be fishing for people.

"What's going on in the Mysterious Sea?" Wang Xuan asked him. He was completely clueless about this place, yet he didn't know anything about it, and the strange, troublesome Mysterious Mobile Phone hadn't appeared yet.

The Green-haired Old Man explained some things. In his words, the Mysterious Sea was almost the entirety of heaven and earth, a vast and boundless Great World.

Soon, Wang Xuan received astonishing news: these powerful monsters, fish, and other creatures enjoyed fishing for beings from the brilliant starry sky in the sea.

Everything has turned out the other way around; this is a group of fish that are designed to lure people in!

But what about the magnificent starry sky? Wang Xuan looked up and gazed at it, but he couldn't see a single star, not even when he flew high into the sky.

He even discovered wisps of chaos, devoid of sun, moon, and stars.

Moreover, he fell from that highest point, creating a Chaos Vortex passage, and was directly caught by a fish.

"Of course, those creatures in the starry sky, those outsiders, are also trying to lure us in; it's a similar situation for both of them," the Green-haired Old Man explained.

Those outsiders who came to fish were suspected to be aliens and descendants of their tribes!

Wang Xuan was taken aback. No wonder it was called Mysterious Sea. The Mysterious Mobile Phone had reminded and hinted at something related to the creatures that appeared there.

Fishbone Palace is the cave of a very powerful alien in the Mysterious Sea. It once fought with aliens in the star sea, and the two sides had victories and defeats.

"Even superhumans are fishing?" Wang Xuan felt a little heavy-hearted. This place was somewhat unfathomable. If he encountered a superhuman carrying Super Contraband Item, he would be in great danger.

"After many years of fighting, the supernatural beings rarely participate anymore. Unless a supreme opportunity occurs, such as the collapse of the dilapidated True Saint Palace and its fall into the Mysterious Sea, the birth of a sacred artifact from the old era, or the falling bones of a new saint from outer space, the supernatural beings will appear to compete for fishing and engage in bloody battles."

According to him, the Mysterious Sea is extremely mysterious. When some Divine Strange Items are born, some of them fall into the sea, which even the strange ancestor of the Fishbone Palace does not understand.

On ordinary days, most of them are sea creatures and descendants of Anomalous Being ethnic groups seeking opportunities in the Mysterious Sea.

"Where is the starry sky? Where are the sun, moon, and stars? I don't see a single one," Wang Xuan asked, not wanting to be trapped here.

"This is the seabed, there are definitely no stars or moon here," the Green-haired Old Man in surprise.

Wang Xuan stared blankly, looking up at the sky. It was gray and hazy, with a hint of chaos. Beneath his feet were islands and reefs, and in the distance was an endless black ocean. It felt like the whole world had been turned upside down.

While he was lost in thought, gazing at the distant sky, the Green-haired Old Man became ruthless. He was certain that Wang Xuan was a true immortal, relying only on that flag that had not yet been revived.

He wanted to kill this human True Immortal directly. As for the small flag, it hadn't been activated, so it probably hadn't been refined. He could keep it afterward!

He attacked Wang Xuan, his entire body covered in celestial demon runes.

With a soft "poof, "Wang Xuan reacted instinctively, the flag trembled, shattering him into pieces. Heavenly demon blood splattered, his primordial spirit exploded, and then he was annihilated, body and soul gone.

"Damn it, he was killed before I could even finish asking him questions!" He stamped his foot and sighed, full of regret.

"I...&!" The Green-haired Old Man's last remaining thought, sensing the other party's regret and mental fluctuations, was utterly filled with resentment as he died. He was a great celestial demon, yet he was so easily killed like this?

His death was truly insignificant, silent and unnoticed. He was still thinking about breaking the seal and returning as a king, with Super Peerless ambitions, but unexpectedly, the bottle was destroyed as soon as it was opened!

Wang Xuan sighed. He had just lost someone like that. He still had many questions to ask, such as the condition of the five fishing rods on the island.

Also, how to get back safely? He didn't want to run into the aliens.

In addition, what kind of creature is that Silver Strange Fish? Is it a waste for him to eat its flesh and blood directly? Are there many of those fiery red True Return Fish in this sea area?

He had a lot of questions, but sadly, he lost the person who could answer them.

"Alas, the Heavenly Demon is gone just like that. May he rest in peace." Wang Xuan shook his head.

He was about to throw the Bronze Bottle into the sea, but after thinking about it, he picked up a piece of silver fish bone, casually carved some patterns and text, put it into the bottle, and blocked the mouth of the bottle with the bronze stopper.

He picked up a wave and threw the Bronze Bottle back into the sea. To his surprise, the bottle glowed, ripples spread, and then sank with a whoosh.

Wang Xuan was astonished and quickly tried to track it with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, but ever since the killing formation diagram was unleashed, this sea area had become noticeably unfathomable, and his spiritual eye could no longer penetrate it.

He tracked it only a short distance before realizing that the Bronze Bottle was indeed glowing and rippling, and that it was diving directly into the deepest part of the seabed.

"The old demon was caught by someone, put into a bottle, and thrown back into the sea, returning to this so-called seabed side. If I throw the bottle out now, will it go to the side of the brilliant starry sky?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

Then he frowned. The old demon had been drifting on the seabed for many years before he found it. He wondered how many years it would be discovered again after he threw the Bronze Bottle away.

In fact, somewhat unexpectedly, on the other side of the sea, on the so-called "sea surface," the starry sky was brilliant, and the silvery light of the water was sprinkled on the sea surface, sparkling and full of life.

In recent years, there has been an increasing trend of creatures fishing in the Mysterious Sea. They are not only fishing for exotic divine fish and monsters, but also for other Rare Strange Item.

There are some people in this sea area right now; it's not deserted, and it could even be described as lively.

The so-called anglers here include all sorts of creatures, some transformed into human form, others retaining their original forms, such as a Golden Great Peng Bird, who is counting its catch.

On the other side, a Black Crane quickly cast its line, eliciting a chorus of exclamations. It had caught an ancient cave dwelling, with incomparably complex runes remaining on it.

"What good fortune! Recently, strange and unusual things have been appearing in the void rifts that occasionally appear in the sea. Brother He, you're so lucky. Could this be a cave from the Old Saint period?" someone said with great envy.

Just then, ripples spread across the sea, and a streak of light emerged.

Instantly, all the creatures present quickly cast their lines, scattering the fishing lines to catch the glowing object.

"Haha, I'm lucky. This one is closest to me, so it's mine." A woman with a very hot figure and curvaceous body, but with a beautiful face, laughed, extremely happy.

"Huh, it's just a Bronze Bottle. I wonder what's inside." She frowned, slightly dissatisfied that it wasn't the cave dwelling or other Heavenly Treasures she had imagined.

In the so-called "underwater" world, Wang Xuan was standing on an island reef, his whole body glowing, his flesh and blood covered with runes. He was cultivating, circulating various Supreme Scriptures one by one, while fishing for fiery red True Return Fish, improving his cultivation and capturing good fortune at the same time.
