Myriad Treasures Long River

Splash, splash, splash!

Above the void, a great river surged and rolled, its waves rising and falling. Every wave reflected the scenery of a different world. Treasures' light shone up from the riverbed, casting scene after scene into the air.

A young man and woman hid from their pursuers in a ruined temple. The girl cried, "Brother Jian Chen!" and the gates to a new world opened.

A short old man and another old man, whose body was wrapped in bandages from the waist up, argued heatedly. The bandaged old man suddenly lost his temper, left with a curt "You'll regret this," and slammed the door behind him.

A Great Divine Ability User fought their way into the ranks of the Gods and Demons of All Heavens. Blood and violence engulfed the world and Qiankun, and an immeasurable tribulation erupted.

The Myriad Treasures Long River was a river, and yet not a river. It was opportunity, a chance. Using one's own qi as a fishing rod and fate as bait, one could fish up treasures from the Myriad Worlds.

This river had once flowed through the Chaos World. Sect Master Tongtian brought it back to the Primordial World and placed it in the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion.

Above the river, a female immortal cloaked in starlight sat atop a Seven-Orifice Immortal Stone. She held a strand of Great Luo Qi in her hand, quietly waiting for a treasure to take the bait.

She was Saint Mother Jin Ling, one of the most celebrated figures in the Primordial World. In terms of Root Nature and cultivation, Saint Mother Jin Ling even surpassed Fairy Yun Xiao. Sadly, she was simply too outstanding, and that was what brought her a devastating calamity.

Saint Mother Wudang could escape, but Saint Mother Jin Ling had to die!

If Saint Mother Jin Ling didn't fall, many people would never sleep easy. Surrounded by the Three Great Sages, the Mount Squad, and Daoist Burning Lamp's seven-man group, the brave and kind Saint Mother Jin Ling had fallen.

"Senior Sister Jin Ling!"

Fang Yang wasn't surprised to see Saint Mother Jin Ling fishing. She was famously part of the Interception Sect's Air Force.

Daoist Duobao had fished up three Innate Spiritual Treasures and twenty-one Heaven and Earth Divine Objects from the Myriad Treasures Long River. Saint Mother Gui Ling had caught one Innate Spiritual Treasure and three Heaven and Earth Divine Objects, while Saint Mother Wudang had caught a Void White Lotus.

Even Fairy Qiong Xiao, who had come to the Myriad Treasures Long River after being rewarded by Sect Master Tongtian, had managed to get a Heaven and Earth Divine Object.

Only Saint Mother Jin Ling had astonishingly bad luck. Every time, she fished up some inexplicable thing.

Once, Saint Mother Jin Ling had fished up a book called Jin Ling Is Not an Ordinary Thing. Thinking it was a scripture praising her, she opened it—and nearly exploded with rage.

"Little Junior Brother, this is your first time coming to the Myriad Treasures Long River to seek your fortune. Watch and learn from me. Just stand over there, and I'll show you how to fish up an Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Saint Mother Jin Ling had naturally sensed Fang Yang's arrival. But nothing mattered more than fishing up a treasure.

She'd already sensed that her opportunity had arrived. At a time like this, she wouldn't be distracted even if Daoist Duobao showed up, let alone Fang Yang.

After replying, she went back to fishing.

Hearing Saint Mother Jin Ling's response, a strange thought came to Fang Yang. Do all members of the Air Force like giving newcomers advice?

Still, he watched Saint Mother Jin Ling fish with genuine interest. He wanted to see whether this First Air Force of the Interception Sect really deserved her reputation.

"It's coming!"

A radiant smile spread across Saint Mother Jin Ling's face.

She smiled gently, and her whole face seemed to shine. For a moment, she felt as if all the joy in the world had gathered around her. At that instant, she was the happiest person in the Myriad Worlds!

She drew a deep breath. The starlight around her suddenly blazed, and a river of stars poured down, endless stellar power gathering around the fishing rod formed from her strand of Great Luo Qi.

"Up!"

"Buzz—"

The Myriad Treasures Long River trembled. Its surging waves abruptly stilled, and a thick beam of treasure light burst through the water and shot straight into the sky.

Seeing this, Fang Yang wondered, Could Saint Mother Jin Ling finally break the Air Force's curse today?

Saint Mother Jin Ling's lips had already curled into a smile as she began to explain to Fang Yang. "Little Junior Brother, remember this. When you seek your opportunity, you must be as calm and composed as I am. The greater the commotion in the Myriad Treasures Long River, the more precious the treasure you've caught. Right now, I..."

Thud!

At last, the treasure broke through the water. A dazzling beam shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Myriad Phenomena Pavilion as brightly as day.

"An Innate Spiritual Treasure! It must be an Innate Spiritual—"

Saint Mother Jin Ling's excited voice cut off abruptly. The smile on her face froze the moment she saw what she had fished up.

The golden light faded, revealing a golden orb.

The orb constantly emitted light and heat. With its warmth and radiance, it gave life to all things and brought light to the world.

It was a star!

Yes, a star from the Mortal World, not the Sun Star of the Immortal Path World. A star that produced energy through nuclear fusion, giving off light and heat.

Boom!

Saint Mother Jin Ling dispiritedly dispelled the qi in her palm and sent the star back.

If she'd fished up a Sun Star, at least she could have obtained some Sun Origin. But a star from the Mortal World was of no use to her at all.

If she wanted a star, she could create one whenever she liked. Why come to the Myriad Treasures Long River to seek her fortune?

"The First Air Force of the Interception Sect truly lives up to its reputation!"

Fang Yang saw everything clearly. He wasn't mocking Saint Mother Jin Ling; this sort of thing could happen to anyone.

"Unbelievable!"

Saint Mother Jin Ling stared at the Myriad Treasures Long River, looking a little too worked up. She stretched out all ten fingers and used her qi to form ten fishing rods, then kept fishing.

Her actions made it clear that she was fuming.

Fang Yang was speechless. Fishing depended on fate, not qi. As long as the total amount of fate stayed the same, splitting her qi into more strands was pointless.

"Little Junior Brother, you saw it just now. The Myriad Treasures Long River is impossible to fathom, and it changes unpredictably. Try seeking your own opportunity, and you'll understand everything."

Suddenly, Saint Mother Jin Ling spoke to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang hadn't laughed once. He cupped his hands earnestly. "Senior Sister is absolutely right. I've learned my lesson."

After that, he found a fishing spot that looked pleasant enough and began to fish.

He slowly released his Golden Immortal qi, condensing it into an invisible fishing rod. With a flick, the line plopped into the Myriad Treasures Long River.

Fang Yang stood on the riverbank, his qi calm and even, quietly waiting for his opportunity to arrive.

Fishing for treasures from the Myriad Worlds was just a pastime. He was already a Saint Disciple; no opportunity could compare to the status he enjoyed.

If he needed some opportunity, he could simply ask Sect Master Tongtian for it. And if even Sect Master Tongtian couldn't manage it, wasn't Old Ancestor Hongjun still around?

Sect Master Tongtian could take some time to visit his teacher at the Purple Firmament Palace and show him a little filial devotion. That would solve everything.

Still, if he really did fish up an opportunity, Fang Yang would be delighted. Everyone liked opportunities, and nobody ever complained about having too many.
