Immortal Road.

The roar was deafening, scattering the clouds in the sky, and the lake water surged with towering waves, as if a real dragon was churning the sea!

Lin Shan and the old Taoist Jinchi were so frightened that they trembled all over. They were pulled by the enormous force and were unable to control themselves. If they hadn't activated their protective spiritual light in time, they would probably have been soaked to the bone.

Not only the two of them, but even the Yellow Turban Warrior was shaking his legs wildly at this moment, his lower body was unstable, and he felt like he couldn't hold onto the fishing rod!

"Fairy Wen, please make your move quickly."

As the person with the highest cultivation level in the entire room, Wen Lingzi did not squeeze in with them to compete in strength. She was not good at strength herself. Instead, she drew a circle with one hand and then suddenly reached out and grabbed.

The lake water suddenly began to boil, as if struck by a meteor from outer space, with huge waves crashing against the shore from all directions, stirring up bursts of foam.

A waterspout was pulled out of the sky, creating a channel through human hands, and heading straight for the depths of the lake!
huh~
Wenlingzi, skilled and daring, transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the lake.

At the same time, an aura of the same peak Void Realm level emerged from below, accompanied by faint dragon roars specifically targeting the soul.

Lin Shan and the old Taoist Jinchi felt their hearts tremble and dared not go down to help. They could only hold back from the outside by pulling on the Xuan Tian Treasure Pole.

"Ahhh, you little brat, you're asking for death! You dare to come underwater and fight me? You probably haven't seen the supernatural powers of my Dragonfish clan before?"

"Hmph, you mere mudfish dare to associate yourself with a real dragon? You're not worthy!"

A sharp shout came from below, accompanied by overlapping waves of air and water, making the area extremely turbulent. The mist, shimmering in the sunlight, obstructed the view, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
For the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two of them, preoccupied with holding onto their fishing rods, discussed the battle situation telepathically, without knowing how the fight was progressing.

"Do you think that woman can defeat the Golden Scaled Dragon Fish?"

"I don't know, and I don't know her well either, but she is the senior sister of the Brocade Immortal Sect and a direct disciple of a True Immortal, so her chances of winning should not be low."

"It was the right decision to bring her along this time. If it were just the two of us, we probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single blow."

"That goes without saying. How can two early-stage Void Realm cultivators deal with a peak-stage Void Realm cultivator, especially when the other party is hiding in the water?"

Golden-scaled arowanas have a home-field advantage in the water, and only a fierce person like Wenlingzi would dare to go down and challenge them one-on-one.

While feeling deep awe, they secretly rejoiced to have a powerful teammate to rely on, ignoring the terrain advantage and fighting head-on. Who says women are inferior to men?

But just as they relaxed their guard, a tremendous force suddenly struck.

Lin Shan and Jin Chi Lao Dao were caught off guard and instantly lost their grip on the ground. They were completely drained of strength and plunged into the bottom of the lake along with the Xuan Tian Bao Gan!
"not good!"

The two felt the wind whistling around them, and a chill ran through them. They knew something was wrong.

If Wenlingzi gains the upper hand, then the golden-scaled dragonfish should be too exhausted and gradually pulled ashore by them.

Now that they've been dragged down, it means Wenlingzi is in a losing position!

The Yellow Turban Warrior, looking rather foolish, dangled his feet in the air and fell into the water with the two of them, crashing heavily onto the battlefield.

Thump~~~
Below the vacuum passage are two enormous war orbs of light, each composed of two major domains, engaged in fierce combat.

Wen Lingzi's double pupil domain was terrifying. It was pitch black inside, with all sorts of evil, multicolored eyes blinking and releasing colorful, confusing light that crisscrossed and polluted the underwater world.

At first glance, he looks like an evil god!
The Golden Scale Dragon Fish wields the Golden Sword Domain, a majestic and awe-inspiring force. Its thousands of scales move with ease, sometimes attacking separately and sometimes attacking together, gradually eroding the Double Pupil Domain piece by piece.

Judging from the battlefield situation, Wenlingzi was indeed at a disadvantage.

Because the bottom of the lake is the home ground of the Golden Scaled Dragonfish, and given that the opponent specializes in strength, illusions are unable to withstand them in certain aspects and can only be broken by brute force.

Lin Shan and his companion were dragged down along with the pole. They were completely bewildered, especially when they felt the force of the other party, which made them jump in fright!
"What should we do? Run or fight?"

In his panic, the old Taoist priest Jinchi followed him and lost his own judgment.

Normally, I would have run away without hesitation, but the problem now is that the fishing line on my fishing rod is being held tightly by the golden dragonfish and it won't let go!
Yes, that's right, they deliberately bit it to death.

My purpose is this precious pole!
"Hmph, old man, I've heard about your fishing rod. You caught the bighead carp at Haoliangzhu, didn't you? Its offspring and fry came to warn me, how could I not be on guard?"

Good heavens, so this fish monster deliberately took the bait just to create an opening.

As expected, Wenlingzi fell into the trap and went underwater alone to fight, but was suppressed by the opponent who had the advantage of timing and location. This was the scheme of a fish!
The old Taoist priest Jinchi was shocked and his legs trembled as he pointed at it.

"So, you noticed those two pairs of fish eyes a long time ago?"

"Nonsense! How could your petty schemes possibly fool me? If you really think that the master is like those fools, someone you can manipulate at will, then you are sorely mistaken!"

The golden-scaled dragonfish roamed leisurely, relentlessly encroaching on the territory and squeezing Wenlingzi's living space step by step, biting the hook and refusing to let go.

"This Xuan Tian Treasure Pole is indeed quite something. If it remains in your hands, who knows how many brothers and sisters under the lake will be harmed in the future. So, I will temporarily take it away for your safekeeping. Come back to me when you need it, how about that?"

The old Taoist priest Jinchi did not answer, because he couldn't explain it either.

This precious fishing rod was crafted by me at the cost of my entire fortune and over a thousand years, all for the purpose of wiping out this long-standing scourge of the lake with a single cast today!
So you're going to take away my treasure? Isn't that going to kill me?
But now the situation was beyond his control, and he dared not say no. He could only hold on to the precious pole and wonder if he should just cut the line and run away.

At that moment, Wenlingzi's voice echoed in their ears.

"You two, stop standing there like idiots! Quickly bring your domains closer to me. The three of us together, supporting each other, will be able to overcome this difficulty. This fish is no ordinary fish; I suspect it's a master from the deep-water school, and I don't know why it ended up in the shallows!"

Upon hearing this, the two unleashed their Thunder Pool Domain and Golden Pool Domain respectively.

Old Daoist Jinchi's domain is truly a pool of gold!
The entire perimeter is made of pure gold bricks, with rounded edges and beautiful grout lines, smooth and delicate, making it look like a work of art. In the pool, small golden fish frolic to and fro.

Lin Shan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but take a closer look. He saw that the moment the Golden Pool Daoist's domain opened, each small fish turned into a huge creature. When it encountered water underwater, it swelled up and transformed into a school of fish, wagging its tail and charging forward, fighting with the Golden Sword Domain on the other side for space.

His Thunder Pool Domain wasn't idle either; together with the Golden Pool Domain, they flanked Wenlingzi's Double Pupil Domain, allowing the two to launch surprise attacks and outflank her, finally holding off her offensive. The Golden Scaled Dragon Fish smiled coldly at this sight.

"You old man, you've been secretly preparing for all these years, even changing your domain to the Golden Pool. Was this specially created to deal with the Master, hoping to turn me into something in your pool?"

Jin Chi was embarrassed. He was clearly not prepared and his intentions were seen through by the other party. He was flustered and could only bite the bullet and retort.

"That's right, you've occupied my hideout for so long, and you've eaten so much of my spiritual food that it's probably countless. I must settle this score with you!"

"Hahaha, alright, let's do the calculation. The premise is that you can withstand the master's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. If you can't, the master won't take your life, because he will need you to feed him in the future. So, this Xuan Tian Treasure Pole will stay!"

The golden-scaled arowana had the hook and line firmly in its mouth, its eyes gleaming with golden light; it seemed to have its eye on this precious fishing rod.

"This fishing rod is truly a treasure. If I could keep it, wouldn't I be able to acquire fishing skills in the future, swim freely in deep lakes, and catch all the fish offspring of those old guys who kicked me out of the group?"

Thinking of the bright future, the fish couldn't help but open its mouth and laugh out loud.

The three of them felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

A fish stole a fishing rod and started learning to fish?

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it; it's absolutely astonishing!
However, the battle situation on the spot was indeed unfavorable to them. Even though it was three against one, Lin Shan and Jin Chi Lao Dao were only at the early stage of the Void Realm, which was too far behind the Golden Scale Dragon Fish in terms of realm and cultivation. The difference between each small realm was huge, not to mention the influence of the underwater environment.

Wenlingzi, as the main force, had already sensed something was wrong. She even used her Xuan Tian Ling Bao, pulling out a crisp, emerald-green gourd and pointing it forward, intending to take away the thousands of golden swords.

A sudden gust of wind arose in the water, ignoring the water's flow and acting on a special level, causing Wan Jian to sway wildly and lose control.

The Golden Scaled Dragon Fish responded in kind, taking out a Xuan Tian Small Flag and waving it slightly, rendering the gourd completely ineffective. A cloud of mist enveloped the entire area, creating a barrier in the water.

Wenlingzi opened her double pupils, saw through the fog, and took out another small tube, which was also a Xuan Tian spiritual treasure. She placed it to her lips and blew gently. A transparent black shadow shot out in an instant, so fast that people next to her could not catch a trace.

But the golden-scaled dragonfish calmly pulled out a white net and easily blocked it.

Wenlingzi hardened her heart and took out another small three-inch umbrella.

The golden-scaled dragonfish pulled out a gray pottery urn the size of a skull.
The two went back and forth like this several times, producing a constant stream of treasures, yet they were able to cancel each other out.

Lin Shan and the old Taoist priest Jin Chi were both dumbfounded!

The Xuan Tian Ling Bao (mysterious heavenly treasures) seemed to be free, and they were scattered out like props. Is this how the rich people of the immortal realm fight?
Wenlingzi is the senior disciple of the Brocade Immortal Sect, so it's understandable that she's wealthy. But what makes this fish so special?
“Look, he has a treasure pouch hanging from his fish neck.”

The old Taoist priest Jinchi, with his sharp eyes, pointed it out to Lin Shan.

"This fish has inherited the dragon's greed and hoarding nature, and it's used to scavenging all kinds of treasures. It used to order me around to hunt for treasures in the immortal city, and it turns out they're all hidden in that location! If we get them, won't we be rich?"

Wenlingzi was now in a difficult situation, so she secretly communicated with the two of them.

"This guy is no ordinary person. He probably comes from an ancient species in the Azure Cold Pool and once held a high position there. Therefore, his supernatural powers and magical treasures are extraordinary. Show us what you have to offer. You can't catch fish by just going through the motions!"

The Azure Cold Pool is vast, the third largest lake in the Cloud Wind Immortal Realm. It is home to countless schools of fish, some of which are as powerful as the true immortal families of the human race, and even rival the immortal sects.

This old fish has an extraordinary origin. Although it was lost and wandered outside, its strength and treasures are genuine, leaving even a prodigy like Wenlingzi helpless.

Jinchi Daoist finally realized he had gone too far. Master Yu had only been teasing him before; if he had really taken it seriously, he would have swallowed him whole long ago. How could he have survived until now?
If you ask him to use his best skill, which is fishing, then losing that rod will severely reduce his strength. What else can he do?
Lin Shan knew it was his turn to play.

If he had released his mid-stage Void Realm clone and unleashed his full power, he might have become Wenlingzi's right-hand man, joining forces to try and confront the Golden Scale Dragon Fish head-on. But he didn't do that.

Ultimately, he had only known Wenlingzi and Jinchi Laodao for a few days, so he couldn't entrust them with his whole heart. He had to conserve his strength to deal with unexpected situations, and he believed that the two of them were also holding back.

But it's rare to encounter such a formidable opponent, so why not unleash your signature move, Misfortune Siphon, and draw a card first?

Who would complain about having too many Luck Cards?
Whether used as a trump card to turn things around or as a cover to fool people, it will definitely be a high-quality consumable in the future.

When in doubt, draw a card first; Lin Shan decided to teach this fish a lesson.

The Golden Scaled Dragon Fish was still immersed in its battle with Wen Lingzi. It hadn't felt so exhilarated in thousands of years, which aroused its original animalistic desires. It laughed wildly as it fought!

"What a clever little girl! She actually managed to get the master to use his full strength. She must be a leader of the younger generation of some immortal sect among the human race. No wonder she dared to go into the water to fight me!"

"Compared to the human race, it is only right that my aquatic race has declined. Now, all the little guys in the race think about is flattering and currying favor. The channels for advancement are controlled by the upper echelons. Without bloodline talent, they can only lie at the bottom forever."

"Talent, talent, how laughable! In this unfair world, there is no hope in hard work. It should have been destroyed and rebuilt long ago!"

"Well"

In the midst of his long-winded speech, he suddenly trembled all over, as if something had been pulled away. The fish deflated like a punctured balloon, its bulging and shrunken appearance causing its eyes to dart around in terror.

"what's the situation?"

It suddenly felt powerless all over, and its head felt empty. It was as if it had been abandoned by heaven and earth. This feeling was unprecedented.

Wenlingzi on the opposite side keenly noticed the anomaly and immediately switched from defense to offense!
Because of its greatly diminished strength, the Xuan Tian Treasure Rod, which had been half-dead, suddenly moved. The Yellow Turban Warrior suddenly exerted his strength and fiercely hooked up the Golden Scale Dragon Fish, almost dragging it out of his own domain!
At this moment, smoke billowed from the large black chimney above Lin Shan's head, and a miniature golden-scaled dragon fish was swept into the middle, transforming into a luck card that landed in his hand.

Feeling the powerful energy inside, he was overjoyed. Instead of opening the box on the spot, he put it away and stored it away.

With Wenlingzi taking the lead, why should I step forward myself?
With its luck drained, the Golden Scaled Dragon Fish's strength rapidly declined, widening the gap in power and making it increasingly difficult to resist Wen Lingzi.

Seizing the opportunity, all eyes in the pitch-black domain opened, and countless gazes shot out, shattering the golden swords on the other side into pieces!

At this moment, the double pupils finally showed their power, and a vast and mighty power of law spread out, causing the golden-scaled dragon fish's expression to change drastically!
"Oh no, you little brat, you actually know the laws?" (End of Chapter)
