World Stone, Threatening an Immortal Emperor?
Liu Yi looked at the fishing rod, which was bent like a full moon, and with a smile on his face, he suddenly pulled hard to reel in the line.
A huge rock, about one meter in diameter and entirely of a chaotic color, slowly emerged from the water.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators immediately let out gasps of surprise.
"Look! Someone fished something up! What is that chaotic-colored stone?"
"Could it be Chaos Stone?"
"Hiss, this isn't Chaos Stone, it's World Stone! Its value is countless times greater than that of Chaos Stone."
Only after the world Destruction can they be born; they can be used to forge weapons or to create new worlds and become their masters.
"But this World Stone is far too large; the largest I've ever seen before is only the size of a fist."
Countless burning gazes fell on Liu Yi, but he remained calm and unconcerned.
He reached out and grasped the World Stone in his hand, then scanned it with his Divine Sense, discovering that it contained the profound mysteries of the world and numerous Great Dao Principle.
"I was quite lucky; I caught World Stone on my first fishing trip."
This object was formed from the fusion and condensation of the remaining Heart of the Heavenly Dao with the World Origin and the Great Dao Principle after the world's destruction.
It's perfect to bring it back to the Xuanyi World for refinement, to perfect the Great Dao Principle, and to increase the World Origin.
As for creating new worlds, it means nothing to me. I already possess many worlds, so one more or one less won't make a difference.
There's no need to use it for weapon crafting; I have plenty of Law Treasure, so there's no need to waste this World Stone.
Even if you want Law Treasure, you can directly generate it from the World Origin.
He completely ignored the burning gazes of the people around him and put the World Stone away.
Having caught such a rare treasure on your first fishing trip, why not try fishing 10 more times and see if you can catch another one?
Liu Yi strode toward the manager of the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery, intending to pay for 10 more fishing trips.
But suddenly, the Immortal King Jinyang blocked his path.
He frowned slightly and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are blocking my way. Please make way."
"Could you transfer the World Stone you just caught to me?"
Whatever treasures you desire, I will offer them all. Furthermore, my Golden Crow Clan wishes to owe you a favor.
The Immortal King Jinyang's gaze was fixed on Liu Yi, his eyes brimming with an undisguised fervor.
If one can obtain this World Stone, one can use it to create a world and thus seize control of it.
At that time, his cultivation will surely advance greatly, easily entering the top 100 of the Immortal King Realm Heaven-reaching Rankings, and he will have a great chance of becoming Immortal Emperor in the future.
Liu Yi said calmly, "Not for sale. Make way."
Immortal King Jinyang was completely taken aback, never expecting such a decisive rejection.
"By selling the World Stone to me, you will not only receive countless treasures, but also gain favor from my Golden Crow Clan."
"Our clan has Immortal Emperor overseeing us; this favor cannot be measured by any treasure."
Liu Yi secretly rolled his eyes.
This person is treating him like a fool, thinking he can get the World Stone with just a few empty words.
A mere Immortal King has no right to represent the Golden Crow Clan, let alone grant a favor to the Celestial Immortal Emperor.
Besides, he was already at the Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. Even the Golden Crow Clan's Immortal Emperor was no match for him, so why should he care about the other party's so-called favor?
"I don't need the Golden Crow Clan's favor. Get out of my way immediately."
"Are you looking down on my Golden Crow Clan? This is tantamount to offending the majesty of the Immortal Emperor, and you cannot bear the consequences!"
Seeing that Liu Yi was unmoved by reason, the Immortal King Jinyang spoke with a blatant threat in his tone.
"Immortal King Jinyang, this is the Mystic Firmament Void Market, not the Golden Crow Clan. Please do not disturb the market's guests." The manager of the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery stepped forward with a stern expression and reprimanded him sharply.
"A mere Immortal King dares to threaten this Emperor? He's utterly courting death."
Who gave you the courage? Was it Liang Jingru?
Liu Yi was quite impatient.
He just wanted to fish in peace and quiet, but this stupid bird suddenly appeared and threatened him, which was really annoying.
Although he intends to keep a low profile and conceal his talents, it doesn't mean that anyone can bully him at will.
He released a wisp of imperial might, and the terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the Immortal King Jinyang, directly suppressing him to the ground.
The Immortal King Jinyang collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his body covered in blood, trembling violently, his voice filled with terror:
"Immortal Emperor?"
Sir, have mercy!
This junior had no intention of offending you. I humbly beg Your Majesty, the Immortal Emperor, to show mercy and spare my life!
Although the people present did not feel the overwhelming imperial might, they witnessed the pitiful state of the Immortal King Jinyang and heard its humble words of begging for mercy.
The crowd was instantly shaken and filled with awe. They bowed deeply and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Immortal Emperor!"
The manager of Mystic Firmament Void Fishery was equally shocked, never expecting that the person in front of him was actually an Immortal Emperor!
He quickly cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Immortal Emperor!"
After bowing, he steeled himself and stepped forward to offer his advice in a tactful manner:
"Your Immortal Emperor, this is the Mystic Firmament Void Market. We beg you to show mercy and spare the Immortal King Jinyang this once."
Liu Yi had no intention of killing anyone in the market.
If he had truly intended to kill him, a mere wisp of his imperial might would have been enough to instantly obliterate the Immortal King Jinyang, instead of merely suppressing him to the ground.
He knew that the Mystic Firmament Void Market was overseen by Ruler, and that killing someone in the market would be tantamount to openly provoking the Ruler.
Such behavior would be suicidal, and he would naturally not act so rashly.
His gaze swept indifferently over the kneeling, begging Immortal King Jinyang, and he spoke coldly:
"Ignorant little bird, today I, the Emperor, will spare your bird life for the sake of the Mystic Firmament Void Market."
If you dare to be disrespectful again, you'll die!
The terrifying imperial might that had been pressing down on him suddenly dissipated, and the Immortal King Jinyang felt as if he had been reborn. He had completely lost any of his arrogance as Immortal King, and he repeatedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, his voice trembling:
"Thank Immortal Emperor for sparing my life, Immortal Emperor! I know I was wrong and will never dare to do it again!"
Seeing Liu Yi generously back down, the manager of the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again.
"Thank Immortal Emperor for your magnanimity, Immortal Emperor!"
"Ten more fishing trips, and this will bring you 1 million Innate Spirit Crystal."
After paying the steward with the Innate Spirit Crystal, Liu Yi turned around and returned to the lakeside, cast his fishing line, and started fishing again.
Upon seeing this, the Immortal King Jinyang on the ground slowly rose, completely disregarding the need to heal his injuries.
It scanned its surroundings. Although everyone was cloaked and its face was hidden, it could still guess that those gazes were full of mockery.
A surge of shame, anger, and rage welled up within it, yet it dared not act rashly in the slightest.
Having inadvertently offended a Celestial Immortal Emperor, no one can be certain whether there are Immortal Lord or even Immortal Emperor hidden among the crowd.
A flash of divine light enveloped him, erasing the disheveled traces of his injuries. Without lingering, he hastily departed.
Just then, the fishing rod in Liu Yi's hand suddenly sank and bent violently.
His eyes lit up; another treasure had taken the bait!
With a flick of his wrist, he yanked the pole up, and a trident, shrouded in Innate spiritual light, soared into the air from the lake.
"Huh, it's actually High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure!"
He gripped the trident, carefully examined it, then stored it in his Storage Space. Without hesitation, he cast his line again and continued fishing.
Everyone present who witnessed this scene was astonished.
However, in just two fishing trips, he successively obtained World Stone and Innate Spirit Treasure.
The gazes directed at Liu Yi were a mixture of intense envy and profound awe, and everyone sighed with emotion:
As expected of Immortal Emperor, his fortune surpasses all others in the heavens; he can obtain unparalleled treasures simply by fishing.
