He had mentioned the fishing rod before, saying that he could decide whether to fish after seeing what the bait was, but now the "rod" was taking precedence.

"Let's run away!" Wang Xuan decided.

There's nothing more to say now. What would happen to him if a top-tier superhuman was lured here carrying Super Contraband Item?

The Dao Control Banner should be fine, but he might be destroyed.

A superhuman dares to fish for it? Does he really think it's just a sea fish? Put yourself in his shoes, if he were the one being fished, he would definitely act decisively and crush it first.

The Mysterious Mobile Phone said, "You can't leave. This is Karma Rod. It's no use hiding anywhere. There's only a cause now, not an effect yet. You have to wait until the fishing is over."

What a lousy pole! Wang Xuan was stunned. This really wasn't his fault, so why should he take the blame?

He immediately pulled out the Dao Control Banner and put the Killing Formation Diagram back on, preparing for battle. Otherwise, he might be crushed to death in a moment.

At the same time, he opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, where brilliant runes intertwined, and he was closely watching the direction in which the fishing line and hook had gone.

"Wait, the fishing line broke, didn't it? I saw it suddenly disappear in the distance, the very tip of the line and the hook are gone!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Normally, a broken line would be incredibly frustrating, but now he was overjoyed. A freed alien was a million times safer than one caught right in front of him.

The Mysterious Mobile Phone responded, "The greatest form is formless, the greatest sound is silent. This is Karma Rod; the line is invisible, the hook Ying. It has already hooked a fish in a place you cannot see, fishing for an extraordinary person!"

Clearly, fishing has moved beyond the confines of the Mysterious Sea, which is terrifying. The length of the fishing line is no longer a limiting factor; it catches its prey according to the laws of nature.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Wang Xuan felt. This fishing rod was incredibly powerful; it might actually catch fish every time, leading to the enraged stranger "meeting by chance from a thousand miles away."

The original owner of this place possessed extraordinary abilities and was close to being a true saint, as can be seen from his fishing rod. However, if he frequently fished for strange people, he himself might not be a good person.

The Mysterious Mobile Phone told him that the entire island and the five fishing rods were actually a set of extraordinary treasures, which, according to the extraordinary person's plan, would advance him to the Saint-level Domain.

The fishing rod here has become an integral part of the island and reef. Once activated, it can fish for aliens on its own, and there have been successful cases in the past.

Wang Xuan paced back and forth, feeling extremely uneasy. In the past, the original owner of the body was there to protect him, but now that's gone!

Just then, the fishing rod moved slightly, the fishing line swung back and forth, which gave him the creeps. It really was a "fish caught"—had he caught a strange person?

"I...!" He was sweating, and the fishing line was glowing, as if something was coming towards him. It was very obvious, so how could he not be nervous?

"God help me, let's lure Wang Yusheng over!" he muttered to himself. If he had a choice, he'd rather lure his older brother, whom he'd never met, to his side.

"I've got it! I absolutely have to catch Wang Yusheng!" he muttered to himself in the language of the Mother Universe, while constantly wiping away sweat.

"What are you muttering about?" the Mysterious Mobile Phone asked him.

"Nothing much, I just want to catch a true saint!" Wang Xuan said.

The Mysterious Mobile Phone silent; no comment will be made.

Deep in the universe, starlight shines brightly, and the majestic Sacred Ape Mountain stretches across the sky, suspended in the void. The mountain is filled with magnificent scenery and many Good Fortune Strange Items.

On the main peak, an Old Ape covered in golden fur sat quietly, leaning against an old peach tree, munching on a large, purple peach. Purple clouds flowed around it, auspicious energy surged, and the fragrance of the fruit was so strong that it could be smelled for miles.

Silently, a hook appeared and fell towards the Old Monkey's head—the Hook of Rules, meant to take down the Old Anomalous Being from the Long-armed Divine Ape Clan.

With a soft "plop, "the Ying fishing hook struck the Old Ape's head.

This old monkey possessed profound and unparalleled skill; with a loud roar of indignation, it unleashed boundless golden light from its runes.

A tuft of monkey hair was caught by the hook, but unfortunately, it failed to hook the skull. Sensing this, the hook seemed to realize that it could not do anything to its opponent and decisively retreated.

"Who dares to attack our ancestor? Where do you think you're going!" The Old Ape's body swelled up and he reached out to grab him.

"It's here!" The Mysterious Mobile Phone alerted Wang Xuan; he had caught something.

Wang Xuan was extremely nervous, his palms were sweaty. Although he had Great Killer Weapon, this was the Supernatural Central Great World, which was full of Super Contraband Item.

The Mysterious Mobile Phone, "The hook didn't come back, but something came back first along the fishing line."

A golden light returned first, swiftly traveling along the fishing line to the reef. After Wang Xuan's initial tension, he was somewhat taken aback. What was that? A tuft of golden hair!

He quickly realized that, thank goodness, he hadn't caught any strange people, only a tuft of golden animal fur. Even if something happened, it wouldn't affect him, since they hadn't met.

A tuft of golden beast fur fluttered down, and then... it landed and transformed into a monkey!

Even the monkey hairs are changing, all turning into golden monkeys.

"I... I'll hit!" Wang Xuan was about to kill. He had just said he was fine, but then a group of apes appeared. With arms that reached past their knees, could they be the Long-armed Divine Ape Clan, who were at odds with the Black Peacock Clan?

He was a little flustered! He'd actually harvested some of that Old Anomalous Being's monkey hair?

In fact, these apes are not the incarnation of the Old Saint Ape, nor are they his important and special "fate-related monkey hairs." What we see now is due to his overwhelming power; his entire body's hair has become sentient, allowing him to transform into his own kind of apes upon landing.

The group of long-armed apes were also completely bewildered. Although they were spiritual beings and possessed certain innate memories, they were still wondering where they were.

The killing formation diagram appeared out of nowhere, suppressing them instantly and turning them all back into their original forms, turning them back into a pile of monkey hair.

Wang Xuan's expression was uncertain. He had just offended the Old Monkey, whom some people called the "Holy Ape." He had pulled out a tuft of hair from him. Had he been skinned bald?

If the Old Saint Ape knew who it was, even across the starry sea, he would probably come to kill them!

In the end, Wang Xuan put the tuft of monkey hair into the array diagram. At the critical moment, he could create a group of monkeys in the shape of holy apes. That would probably be quite intimidating, right?

The Mysterious Mobile Phone and was somewhat speechless. He had been nervous just moments before, and now he was directly accepting the sacred ape's hair for his own use. What kind of trick was this? Was he going to impersonate the Old Monkey in the future?

"Roar!" A furious roar came from the main peak of Sacred Ape Mountain in the sea of stars.

The Old Ape stared into the void, failing to grasp the hook. Moreover, as he reached out to grab it, the divine object he was gnawing on— the Purple Mansion Peach —was pulled away by the hook, losing a piece of its flesh.

Although it's only a small piece, snatching food from a monkey's mouth and plucking hair from a monkey's head is really going too far in bullying monkeys!

On the island in the Mysterious Sea, Wang Xuan's expression changed. Something else was coming along the fishing line. It was a piece of Zi Ying fruit, about the size of an egg.

Its rich fruity aroma is exceptionally enticing, and it even exudes a sense of order and elegance, making it no ordinary product.

"The rare immortal peaches in the Back Mountain of the Long-armed Divine Ape Clan are limited in number. Eating one can extend one's lifespan by many years. I almost caught a Purple Mansion Peach with my hook?" Wang Xuan was stunned. Is this even possible?

He was pleasantly surprised and somewhat expectant; if he continued fishing, he might actually be able to seize a great opportunity.

"Aren't you scared anymore? This is clearly a case of the sacred ape snatching food from its mouth!" The Mysterious Mobile Phone emitted a vibration.

At the same time, the hook appeared on the sea surface, and the Old Ape's roar echoed around it, as if confirming something.

Wang Xuan: "..."

The thought that had just arisen within him vanished in an instant. He felt that it was good to be safe and sound, and that he shouldn't think about anything else. It was finally over.

"Wait, what happened?! It's disappeared again!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in shock. The fishing rod had automatically cast the line, and the hook had vanished again. Was this the end of it?

"Well, the first attempt failed because I didn't catch the supernatural being, so the second attempt started," the Mysterious Mobile Phone calmly told him.

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded, then horrified. Was this guy determined to lure in an extraordinary person before he was done? It was clearly a case of not stopping until he was killed.

He was trembling with fear; he would never stop fishing until he died!

"Golden Years, recording the beauty of life." Mysterious Mobile Phone is ready to take a picture.

Wang Xuan's face immediately darkened. It recorded the tragic deaths of its holders, such as the "former" who was eaten in hell and the "former predecessor" who turned into nothingness in the Dao Sea. Their deaths were all recorded.

"Do you really have to lure in an extraordinary person?" Wang Xuan asked it with a stern face.

"No, if no extraordinary person is found by the time limit, it will automatically end. Good luck," the Mysterious Mobile Phone replied calmly.

Wang Xuan was anything but calm. When would this end? Whether he could survive depended on luck.

"Look, the fishing line is swaying, which means there's another target approaching. We're getting ready to capture the strange person," the Mysterious Mobile Phone said.

"How can the efficiency be so high? Slow down a bit, you're wasting so much time." Wang Xuan held the Dao Control Banner and watched anxiously.

"Ready to record the beauty of life." The Mysterious Mobile Phone angle; everything was ready.

Wang Xuan wanted to give it a good whack with the Dao Control Banner first; it was truly hateful!

Under the starry sky, there is an endless sea of bamboo, with various kinds of glowing bamboo forests everywhere, including Purple Jade Bamboo, Silver Bamboo, Blood Tear Bamboo, and Imperial Dao Bamboo.

There is also a sacred place that has been nourished by two major Universe Rule, giving birth to a special bamboo shoot that is radiant and dazzling with rosy light.

Just then, a chubby creature with symmetrical black and white patterns on its body lazily walked into the restricted area, casually plucked a priceless black and white jade bamboo shoot, and sat down to eat it with relish.

Soon, the Black and White Bear became suspicious. Something was approaching, making it quite uneasy. It twisted its fat body, just in time to avoid the fishing hook that was falling silently.

The Black and White Bear immediately sensed something and then became angry, because while it twisted its body to avoid the attack, the bamboo shoot in its hand was hooked.

Its dark circles under its eyes were practically spitting out black fire, and it roared, "You dare steal bamboo shoots!"

Its magical power is boundless, its runes intertwined, and its black and white fur naturally contains the ultimate principles of Yin and Yang, engraved with the divine charm of the Great Dao. It instantly imprisons the void, trying to capture that invisible Ying fishing hook.

With a snap, its black and white bamboo shoot broke off. The fishing hook was incredibly peculiar, unrestrained by it, and ran away with a piece of black and white jade bamboo shoot in its arms!

"Where do you think you're going!" the Black and White Bear roared. Although it was fat, it was agile and chased into the void, seemingly trying to follow the fishing line.

On the island, Wang Xuan was filled with unease. What had he caught this time? He hoped it would be a rare and precious object, and definitely not some strange person.

Soon, his eyebrows relaxed, and a piece of Good Fortune Item appeared, actually flowing with Black and White Qi, the power of yin and yang, containing the divine essence of the Great Dao.

It's just that it's a bit small, only about two inches long, and it's a broken bamboo shoot.

"What is this, a section of... bamboo shoot?" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. The fishing hook had finally found its way into the Bamboo Garden.

In the distance, on the sea, the fishing hook returned, accompanied by the angry roar of the Black and White Bear. Then, a chubby face with dark circles under its eyes appeared, though it was only a blurry reflection.

"A national treasure?!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. Although this ferocious beast was an extraordinary being, he still felt that it had a comical quality, being too round and plump.

But the next moment, he immediately stopped finding it funny and cute. The Black and White Bear alien roared, and the sound traveled to this place through the fishhook.

"If you steal my bamboo shoots today, you'll steal my grandsons tomorrow!" the national treasure seemed to be making a vow.

Wang Xuan was stunned, then said with dissatisfaction, "I've never seen such a vengeful panda. It's just that I took a bamboo shoot from you. You're so petty, yet you still say such harsh things. Too bad, I have no descendants in this universe, so you can't take it from me."

Mysterious Mobile Phone still couldn't capture the beautiful moments of life this time. It explained, "The Yin Yang Bamboo Shoot are the Black and White Bear's favorite food. They are related to its future chance to become a saint, so of course it's protective of its food. A long time ago, it made this vow: whoever takes its bamboo shoots, it will take their grandchildren."

"I didn't," Wang Xuan said, shrugging indifferently.

"No, it will definitely find a way to give you offspring. It's not like it hasn't done this before, making you experience the pain of losing a bamboo shoot, or rather, losing a grandchild."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan genuinely felt that this panda was far too ferocious, even more vengeful than the Old Monkey from before.

"I've survived another ordeal, and I even got some black and white Yin Yang Bamboo Shoot along the way." Seeing his harvest, he finally felt a little relieved. It was too early to think about the future. Besides, once he became an extraordinary person, would he still be afraid of that Black and White Bear?

"Shouldn't this be the end of it?" he muttered to himself.

Then, his eyes widened as the fishing rod automatically cast the line again, and the hook disappeared once more!
