After staying in seclusion for more than a month and a half, Jiang Ping'an did not immediately leave Throne Island—the island in the middle of the lake, which he had named—to trigger his Heavenly Tribulation. He wanted to relax for a day or two first.
He made a circuit around Throne Island, then landed on a huge boulder at the edge of the island, his gaze falling on the surface of the lake a hundred zhang below.
"This lake stretches seventy or eighty thousand li across, and its waters are abyss-deep, the bottom nowhere to be seen. There are probably some big fellows down there," Jiang Ping'an thought. "After I advance to the Dao Body Realm, I'll have to go down and clear them out."
How could one allow another to sleep soundly beside one's own bed? If he did not clear out or drive away every threat in the lake, he definitely would not be able to feel at ease.
The next moment, he brought out the Immeasurable Fishing Rod, preparing to fish and relax for half a day.
As the Immeasurable Fishing Rod appeared, Jiang Ping'an greeted it. "Immeasurable Fishing Rod."
However, the Immeasurable Fishing Rod only answered him with a few indistinct spiritual-sense fluctuations.
Jiang Ping'an was immediately surprised and asked at once, "What's wrong with you?"
The Immeasurable Fishing Rod still only answered him with a few indistinct spiritual-sense fluctuations.
Jiang Ping'an frowned slightly and immediately brought out the Profound Yellow Pagoda, asking, "Pagoda Grandfather, how do you feel?"
Speaking of which, ever since entering the Primal Beginning Realm, he had almost never stopped to rest. On top of that, he had not needed to use any sacred artifacts, so he had not brought out the Profound Yellow Pagoda, the Emperor Slaying Armguard, and the others.
