Chapter 1010 Big Fish
Lin Yuan desperately wanted to know why Dao Xuan was acting this way, but the other party refused to tell the truth and just kept looking at him with ill intent, making him feel a chill down his spine.

But then I thought about it again, and he was upright in his conduct but crooked in his actions, and there was nothing wrong with what he did, so it didn't matter at all.

So he put this question aside and led Dao Xuan forward until they finally saw Di Xun fishing on the shore.

Compared to the lively atmosphere around us, this place is a completely different world.

Because the laws of the immortal realm are extremely strange, fishing is also a rather troublesome matter.

Before fishing, you need to calculate the weather, find the right spot, and prepare your bait area, but this is just the beginning.

Afterwards, you need to burn incense to ask the fish about their mood today, and randomly sacrifice a friend to get a reply on whether you can fish today.

Finally, one must place the coffin under oneself to show one's determination to "fish even if it means dying" in order to have any chance of catching a fish.

To simplify this process, Lin Yuanbailong Sect specially created a fishing skill. As long as the skill is sufficient, it will automatically complete all the steps when activated, and then you can beautifully catch fish.

However, some players said they wanted to cultivate their character and do the whole process manually to show their devotion and hope to win the favor of the fish.

Di Xun is clearly a manual player.

Today, Emperor Xun was wearing a straw raincoat, but the fishing rod in his hand was a custom-made magical artifact, shimmering with light and displaying its luxuriousness.

The fish bait is a special kind obtained by expending merit points; it can prolong life for humans, let alone fish.

The coffin under his buttocks was also made of sandalwood, about the size of a palm, but worth a fortune. It was the ultimate item that the local fishermen dreamed of.

Previously, many players came to try and get close to Emperor Xun, hoping that he could lend them the coffin to use, or even just lie down in it.

Even with so many magical treasures, Di Xun's fishing basket remained empty.

When Lin Yuan and Dao Xuan arrived, Di Xun was ordering takeout through the game's built-in non-sword ordering system.

"Yes, it's by the river, that one that looks really impressive. You said you didn't recognize it... that one that didn't catch anything! Okay, hurry up, I reckon they're coming soon."

After losing contact, Di Xun suddenly sensed something was wrong. He turned around and found Lin Yuan and Dao Xuan standing not far away, looking at him with suspicion.

Looking at the two expressionlessly, Di Xun restarted the communication. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a clay figure appear behind him, handing him a bamboo basket of fish without saying a word, before disappearing underground.

After a moment of silence, Di Xun sighed, cupped his hands to Lin Yuan, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll take my leave now. See you in the Underworld."

"Don't try to kill yourself." Lin Yuan sighed. "It's just that the Air Force didn't catch any fish and wanted to show off in front of me and Dao Xuan, so he ordered fish takeout. He didn't expect us to arrive early, so he got caught. It's not a big deal, there's no need to kill yourself."

"I was a little hesitant at first, but now I have no choice but to die."

"I've already said it's unnecessary! Fine, since I see you're determined to go, I won't stop you. But before you die, please take care of the important matters first. Dao Xuan, you should also say goodbye."

Dao Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am Dao Xuan, the commander of the Nine Provinces. I greet you."

Di Xun numbly cupped his hands in greeting: "Di Xun, I am the embodiment of the Heavenly Emperor's dream."

"Fellow Daoist, there's really no need to be so discouraged. It's just the air force; such things are not common, but if we encounter them, we encounter them. We cultivators should have a firm Dao heart; such trivial matters are nothing to worry about."

"A trivial matter?" Di Xun sneered. "Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps discriminating against fishermen?"

“I didn’t.” “In your heart, fishing might just be a trivial pursuit, and it doesn’t matter whether you catch anything or not, right?”

"That was not what I meant."

"Enough talk, fellow Daoist, please reveal your magic weapon! Today, I will fight you to the death!"

Dao Xuan remained silent for a moment, then opened his eyes, revealing golden pupils: "Since you insist, let's see who has the better fishing skills. I have fished for all things in the void before, and today I would like to experience your prowess."

Seeing the two adults who had inexplicably become enraged, Lin Yuan felt utterly speechless.

These two chuunibyou (delusional) individuals happen to be the managers of two different worlds, which is quite unfortunate.

But since they are managers, they might have their own ideas, so let them do whatever they want.

So Lin Yuan ignored them, picked up a fishing rod, and started fishing.

The lake in front of us is called "Daohu" by the locals.

Unlike ordinary lakes, time seems to be out of control on this one, causing it to surge from the downstream seawater, then rise backwards, and finally return to the snow-capped mountains, becoming part of the snow there.

Therefore, this characteristic has been exploited by players to divert snowmelt from another direction, thereby creating a continuous and infinite source of energy, allowing them to extract energy for free.

As he watched the river overflow, Emperor Xun asked, "What kind of place is Kyushu?"

"Not bad." Dao Xuan stared at the bobbing float. "There are a lot of new things lately. I don't quite understand the principles behind most of them, but overall they are still very interesting."

"I've heard that your Kyushu doesn't have a class system, is that true?"

"No, Kyushu is still in an upward phase, and the class barriers are not very thick yet, so circulation is still possible. However, recently some people have attempted to establish families that will never perish, so we still need to clean things up."

"There's trouble everywhere."

"Absolutely. So when it's time to kill, we still have to kill. We can't always rely on the wisdom of future generations. It just so happens that the underworld has been established here. After killing, we can throw them into the underworld and extract some wisdom from them."

Emperor Xun bent over and looked at the river. Suddenly, he excitedly pulled up his fishing rod, but saw nothing.

He regretfully threw the fishing hook back, saying, "Once, we saw hope too."

"Oh? What then?"

"It failed. The Heavenly Emperor was entangled by the World Tree, and the immortals became complacent. Former friends corrupted and fell into enemydom, and eventually even the Heavenly Emperor himself fell. Without the Heavenly Emperor's support, the immortal realm began to decline continuously, eventually becoming what it is now... The Nine Provinces may also suffer the same fate."

"No, it won't happen in the Nine Provinces," Dao Xuan said with a smile.

Di Xun snorted coldly: "You haven't caught a single fish, how dare you say that?"

"The biggest fish has arrived, haven't you seen it?"

Di Xun turned his head and saw Dao Xuan staring intently at Lin Yuan, so he nodded as well.

"Yes, the biggest fish has already arrived, so how far behind are the others?"
