Half a year flashed by.

In the circle of anglers, Lu Ye gradually became known, because on average, he could reel in a catch almost every few days.

This was rare among anglers and couldn't simply be attributed to luck. In the eyes of other anglers, Lu Ye had undoubtedly mastered the essence of angling, surpassing his predecessors. In terms of angling skills alone, he had left them far behind.

There were indeed a few others as skilled at angling as Lu Ye in the circle, all of whom had made their fortunes through angling to support their cultivation needs.

Yet, by comparison, these individuals had been cultivating this field for several decades or even centuries. For someone like Lu Ye, a young novice angler, it was truly a rarity.

This situation was naturally by Lu Ye's design. Otherwise, he could catch as many White Spirits as he wanted, but that would inevitably attract envy.

Now the situation was quite favorable; with several elders ahead, although Lu Ye's gains made others envious, they were not overly conspicuous.

Besides the White Spirits caught through angling, Lu Ye would occasionally grab one directly and have his true self take it back to All Phenomena Island to sell. The selling price was not much different from auctioning it on the island, just requiring more time for the round trip.

Moreover, nowadays he didn't need to fly himself. There were plenty of ferryboats on the All Phenomena Ocean. He could call one up at will, only needing to pay a few spirit jades.

The buyers of his fish varied. Sometimes, Lu Ye would take the fish to the All Phenomena Merchants Guild to sell. Other times, he'd randomly choose a shop to walk into and ask if they purchased fish. Generally speaking, those capable of setting up shop on All Phenomena Island would not refuse his sale.

He seldom went to the flea market, that place was bustling with a complex crowd, many not affluent. The hustle and bustle made it unsuitable for selling.

Combining fishing and grabbing fish, Lu Ye managed to secure at least one White Spirit every three days. Over the past half-year, the number of spirit jades passing through his hands totaled no less than three hundred thousand.

For a Constellation Mid-Stage cultivator, three hundred thousand spirit jades was an unimaginably vast fortune, more than enough to ensure he had no worries before advancing to the Moon Jade stage if spent solely on cultivation.

However, in reality, the spirit jades didn't stay in Lu Ye's pocket for long. Basically, every time he obtained some jades, he would go and buy Dragon Breath Crystals or similar fire-type treasures to replenish the fuel reserve for the Talent Tree.

Whether grabbing fish or angling, the true self needed to delve deep into the All Phenomena Ocean, with each stay not being short, which led to massive fuel consumption for the Talent Tree.

In Lu Ye's storage ring, the spirit jades generally maintained a state of just one thousand.

Only once did he save up over thirty thousand spirit jades and bought a small starboat.

For a Constellation, if capable, equipping a starboat was necessary for travel convenience. However, this was very expensive. Without any background, it was difficult for a Constellation to amass enough capital just by relying on themselves to search for spirit jades.

It seemed like he had labored hard for half a year without any substantial harvest, but in reality, his cultivation progress over these six months was considerable. Each deep dive into the All Phenomena Ocean amounted to a passive fast-paced cultivation.

For a cultivator, what could be more important than cultivation?

Though with the same amount of spirit jades, normal cultivation would enhance one's cultivation more than delving into the ocean, it consumed many times more time.

Lu Ye's approach was equivalent to spending spirit jades to buy time, allowing him to ascend to the Constellation Late Stage faster than other cultivators. However, the spirit jades spent might be ten times or even several tens of times more than others.

But as long as there were White Spirits to fish for, none of this was a problem. In the All Phenomena Ocean, White Spirits were inexhaustible. Even if Lu Ye caught as much as Sun Blaze here, so what?

No one came asking him for angling techniques; such matters were one's own secrets and also a way to make a living, with no reason to share with others.

It was those stationed here from various significant forces that had shown some intent to recruit him.

For the major forces behind these cultivators, White Spirits had a precious rarity, and they could absorb as many as available. On Angling Island, not only were there those stationed to buy fish, but many were their people specifically responsible for angling.

If they could recruit Lu Ye, they would have a stable channel for acquiring White Spirits in the future.

Such recruitment was quite relaxed; if Lu Ye accepted, not only could he receive a certain number of spirit jades monthly as a salary, but the White Spirits he caught could also be purchased at market price, though only by the force recruiting him.

Essentially, he would become that force's exclusive angler.

Naturally, Lu Ye declined such recruitment; cultivators dreaded restriction, and no matter how relaxed, restriction was still restriction, especially when he didn't worry about spirit jades.

Over the course of half a year, Lu Ye got to know quite a few anglers, though they were mostly just nodding acquaintances. He became slowly familiar mainly with Piao Ke.

Occasionally, when Lu Ye made an ostentatious trip to All Phenomena Island to buy a bait pill, this guy would help claim a fishing spot for him, waiting for Lu Ye's return.

He was also an old angler, generous in lifestyle, and many anglers had benefited from his generosity, so others gave him that little bit of respect.

On this day, while the doppelganger was fishing with Piao Ke separated by a hundred meters, a beautiful female cultivator passed by, and unsurprisingly, Piao Ke's gaze clung to her like a leech, provoking a fierce glare from the female cultivator.

Piao Ke wasn't embarrassed; instead, he gave the female cultivator a gentle smile.

As he explained it, "In the face of the vast waters, others take just one sip, but I always scoop up a ladle..."

Yet to be fair, this guy was handsome, with a likable smile and notable cultivation, which attracted quite a few female cultivators. Often, Piao Ke would interrupt a fishing session to tell Lu Ye there was something he needed to take care of, leaving for at most half a day and returning refreshed.

As for what others went to do, Lu Ye didn't know.

Over here, Piao Ke was habitually flirting with the female cultivators passing by, while beneath the sea surface, his true self had already caught a White Spirit and was attaching it to Piao Ke's fishhook.

When he first met this guy by chance, he had explained many fishing commonalities to him and even helped him buy fishing gear at a lower price, also gifting him two bait pills. Lu Ye hadn't forgotten this favor.

So over the past half year, Lu Ye would occasionally "help" him catch a fish, anyway, his true self intended to hang fish on the doppelganger's side; it was just a convenient thing.

Watching the beautiful female cultivator leave reluctantly, suddenly, a violent spirit force fluctuation came from a distance.

Piao Ke's hand shook, and the fishing line snapped...

He couldn't care less about the fishing line; he flew into the sky, looking towards the source of the commotion.

Lu Ye also flew up, standing beside him to look in that direction.

The distance was too far to see any specific situation, only knowing that a strong person was at work over there!

"Sun Blaze!" Piao Ke's face was astonished, "It's a Sun Blaze taking action!"

On the All Phenomena Ocean, such fights are very common, but they are basically limited to the Moon Jade level and below. At least, since Lu Ye came here more than half a year ago, he had never seen a Sun Blaze make a move, nor even met a strong person from the Sun Blaze Realm.

Because there are only two or three Sun Blaze powerhouses from the home galaxy stationed permanently in the entire All Phenomena Ocean, Sun Blaze powerhouses from other star systems are not allowed to stay here for long periods, and if they pass by, they leave quickly.

Beneath the Sun Blaze, there are also strict limits on the number of Moon Jade cultivators from various star systems allowed to come here. This is a means for the All Phenomena Galaxy to manage the All Phenomena Ocean, and it's also a rule implicitly accepted by the four galaxies.

Strong persons from the four galaxies come here to occupy the Spirit Island, dividing up resources that should belong to the All Phenomena Galaxy, which is not quite in agreement with the principle of fairness. So even if the rules on the All Phenomena Ocean side are somewhat unreasonable, they won't easily break them; instead, they even help maintain them.

If everyone follows the rules, then everyone benefits, but if someone breaks the rules, it will only provoke conflict among the star systems, and no one will gain anything.

So, feeling the Sun Blaze powerhouse making a move at this moment, all the cultivators on Angling Island were incredibly amazed, having no idea what was going on.

Lu Ye had been here for a short time, but others had been here for many years, and in their memory, there had never been a precedent for a Sun Blaze making a move in the All Phenomena Ocean.

Suddenly, from that direction came a sharp shout: "Bold!"

Another voice shouted: "Stop at once!"

Soon, even more intense sounds of fighting broke out, and every cultivator on Angling Island had an expression of grave seriousness.

If at first they only sensed the traces of one Sun Blaze making a move, now there were not just one, but three or four...

The origin of the first Sun Blaze was unknown, but the ones who acted afterwards were definitely Sun Blaze from the All Phenomena Galaxy. They were stationed here, noticed the anomaly, and naturally had to act.

During the confrontation, the originally calm sea surface rippled, then transformed into waves crashing out from the direction of the confrontation, showing how fierce Yu Bo was.

All of a sudden, the aura of a strong person abruptly disappeared.

Piao Ke's eyes nearly popped out, and Lu Ye also narrowed his eyes. They turned their heads to look at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

If they sensed correctly, a Sun Blaze... had fallen!

In other words, during the engagement just now, a Sun Blaze had been killed.

How long has it been? From the time the two sides started fighting over there until now, it's only been a few dozen breaths, and a Sun Blaze has died. However, it's unclear whether it was the troublemaker who made the first move or the home galaxy's Sun Blaze stationed at All Phenomena Island.

The aftermath of the confrontation hadn't ended yet.

Piao Ke couldn't help but shrink his neck: "The sky is falling!"

It's confirmed that the fallen one was from the All Phenomena Galaxy's Sun Blaze because if it were the troublemaker who had fallen, the confrontation should be over by now.

Since the fighting was still ongoing, it meant that the troublemaker hadn't been killed.

This being the All Phenomena Galaxy and this place being the All Phenomena Ocean, resulting in their own Sun Blaze being killed, is akin to getting slapped on your own doorstep; how can the All Phenomena Galaxy let go of this lightly?

If it were only a Constellation and Moon Jade that had died, it wouldn't have too far-reaching an impact, but since it was a Sun Blaze, it carries an entirely different meaning.

"Hahaha, the All Phenomena Galaxy is only so much!" An old, hearty laugh suddenly came from the direction of the confrontation, getting closer, "Remember this, this is only the interest!"

"Not good!" Piao Ke exclaimed in a low voice, "They're coming toward us!"

As soon as the words fell, from the corner of his eye, he noticed Lu Ye already descending downward, cursing under his breath at Li Taibai's lack of loyalty, hurriedly heading down as well.
