Chapter 43: The Fishing Game at Dividing Treasure Cliff - The forty-third chapter of game creation...

When the Dao Ancestor spoke, the idlers naturally dared not linger. Although they were still thinking about the game involving the Primordial Purple Qi, the Purple Cloud Palace was soon empty.

Yuan Yi lingered for a moment, then picked up his two disciples again and started to get up, following the tail of the crowd.

Unexpectedly, Hongjun glanced at her and said, "You stay too."

Without being named, she returned to her seat.

Yuan Yi was completely confused. Why was she being pulled over here when the master and disciple were whispering to each other? Her brother was still waiting outside.

The question was quickly answered, and in the blink of an eye, the eight people present arrived at a mysterious place.

This place is shrouded in mist and covered with lush grass. Not far ahead, a cliff rises from the ground, bathed in colorful light and shrouded in strange phenomena; it is clearly no ordinary object.

"Since we have a master-disciple relationship, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. This is the Treasure Sharing Cliff, which contains innate treasures. Those present who are destined can take them." Hongjun's expression was indifferent, and as he spoke, many magical treasures resonated with him, and the cliff was filled with flowing light.

Among them were many familiar items, such as the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, the Shadowless Needle, and the Sun and Moon Pearl... These were all magical treasures used by Hongjun in his battle against Rahu.

Presumably, since Hongjun will reside in Zixiao Palace for the rest of his life, these magical treasures will be of little use. It would be better to bestow them upon his disciples, so that these precious treasures will not be allowed to gather dust.

"Thank you, Master/Dao Ancestor, for bestowing this treasure."

Hongjun nodded slightly: "Go and retrieve it." As soon as he finished speaking, the treasures that had been lit up all turned into balls of light, swaying back and forth on the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

At first, everyone followed the order of seniority. Laozi, as the eldest brother, took the lead but found that there was a Weak Water separating the Treasure Sharing Cliff. He could neither fly nor cross it, and could only reach out from afar but missed.

Laozi could only shake his head helplessly: "The opportunity has not yet arrived." He stepped aside and watched to see what opportunities lay ahead for his junior brothers and sisters.

Unexpectedly, each of the subsequent attempts by Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa to guide them returned empty-handed. Even Tongtian, who had already seen the Wind and Thunder Scissors inside, forcibly dragged them to the Weak Water, only to have them transform into a ball of light and slip out halfway there.

One person's opportunity simply hadn't arrived, but everyone present except Yuan had already tried and gotten nothing. Something must have gone wrong.

As for Yuan Yi, his situation was even more tragic, because his cultivation level was so low that he couldn't even cross the Weak Water. He barely managed to support the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, but he had to turn back halfway.

How can one be content to be surrounded by a mountain of treasures yet unable to cross it, or to be unable to take the precious gems within?

They saw it all when they grabbed it; it contained not only ordinary acquired magical treasures, but also innate treasures capable of suppressing destiny.

Everyone immediately looked at Hongjun standing to the side.

Zhunti: "Master, I am ignorant and do not know how to obtain this magic treasure. I beg you to give me some guidance."

Since it's neither their problem nor the treasure's problem, then it must be that they made a mistake in how they retrieved the treasure.

However, having tried so many times without finding a suitable method, we must ask the owner of this place.

Faced with this question, a hint of doubt flashed in Hongjun's eyes. He turned to look at Yuanyi and asked, "Why don't you take it?"

Now everyone's attention turned to Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi was even more confused. Why don't I take it?

They, a group of powerful immortals, couldn't cross the Weak Water and couldn't grasp the magic treasure. How could I, a mere ginseng fruit tree, possibly cross over them to retrieve it? I have no idea how to do it.

Hongjun, seemingly finally realizing where he had gone wrong, spoke a rare long sentence: "The rules here are set up according to the earth vein formation, and you should be more familiar with them."

Yuan Yi didn't know what the rules or the formation were.

But at this moment, everyone present, including Hongjun, placed their hopes on Yuanyi. Because they knew nothing, they could only shoulder the heavy responsibility of finding the true rules.

She kept a straight face as she observed her surroundings, while the chat group was practically spitting fire.

Yuan Yi: [@Hongjun, what rules here are related to me? Please explain? I've never even been to this place before. Is it really okay to harm an innocent kid like me like this? [crying]]

Hongjun: [When I was distributing treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, I accidentally dropped the game you taught me, which changed the rules and thus involved you in this matter.]

After several urgent questioning sessions, Yuan Yi finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that this Treasure Cliff is a supreme treasure that can nurture the treasures of heaven and earth. It can not only repair treasures, but also mutate and upgrade their grade.

So when Hongjun arrived at Zixiao Palace, he threw all the treasures from his "Sleeve Universe" into it, including the game array plate that had been given to him, which merged with it. This caused an inexplicable change at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, and he stayed there because he found it interesting.

Who would have thought that when the treasures were being distributed with the affection between master and disciple, none of the disciples could obtain them?

Hongjun: [If it doesn't work out, then we are not destined to be together.]

Hongjun remained as indifferent as ever; after all, the Zhuxian Sword Formation belonging to Tongtian had already found its owner. As for the others who hadn't obtained it, they could deal with that later.

Yuan Yi: [Wait, I have a way.] Don't send everyone away so quickly. She saw the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner inside. These are the magic weapons that Laozi and Yuanshi will use to suppress the sect's fortune in the future. Without these, how can the sect be established?

After learning that the Treasure Sharing Cliff resonated and merged with the game, Yuan Yi roughly guessed what this scene was like.

Hongjun said he had modified the rules of the game's formation system and found it quite interesting. Wouldn't that mean this treasure-distributing area could also be considered a game?

With mountains, water, and swirling light, isn't this the perfect way to enjoy fishing?

Yuan Yi took out a branch of ginseng fruit tree from his sleeve, and then pulled out a ribbon. In no time, he made a simple fishing rod.

With a steady throw towards the Treasure-Dividing Cliff, it indeed crossed the Weak Water and steadily hooked the line into the air. Soon after, a ball of light caught the hook.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a green-based, red-ribbed fan—a mere innate treasure. But it gave the others hope, and they eagerly approached, asking, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any tips for obtaining this treasure?"

Upon seeing the beautiful face beside him, Yuan Yi, who was in such close proximity to Nuwa for the first time, froze and became somewhat incoherent: "Actually... it's actually very simple. This Treasure Sharing Cliff is now a fishing game. As long as you have a fishing rod, you can catch the fish in the Treasure Sharing Cliff. That's it."

As he spoke, he took out the materials and began assembling a fishing rod with Nuwa, fishing together. During the interaction, he accidentally touched the back of Nuwa's hand, so Yuan Yi could only continue the beginner's tutorial with a flushed face.

Before long, they caught a nine-colored rainbow robe. With the fishing going so well, Nuwa happily shared this magical treasure with Yuan Yi, only to find that Yuan Yi, unlike his previous composed and dignified demeanor, was now somewhat shy and awkward.

After all, she was the goddess Nuwa. In his previous life, Yuan Yi, who was a human, was inevitably a little awkward in front of Nuwa.

But Yuan Yi quickly adjusted his mindset, and even when faced with Nuwa's question, he was able to answer: "After all, I have never seen someone as beautiful as Sister Nuwa before."

Receiving such sincere praise from Yuan Yi, Nuwa smiled back, her eyes gentle yet lively: "This is the first time I've ever seen such a lovely little sister like you."

It hit the bullseye. Yuan Yi's ear turned bright red; Nuwa was so clever.

Meanwhile, the others followed suit and hung their fishing rods on the shore.

Lao Tzu's fishing rod, like himself, is pure and inactive. An ordinary tree branch and a silk thread from his clothes are used to lightly pull up a Tai Chi diagram, which is very much in line with his philosophy of purity and inaction.

Yuanshi's fishing style was quite unique. After observing Yuanyi and Nuwa fishing, he asked Yuanyi for her fishing rod to examine it. Finally, he made an almost identical fishing rod, returned to the original spot, and began fishing, mimicking Yuanyi's movements. It was practically a one-to-one replica. Only after fishing out three magical treasures did he gradually change his movements and seek a more suitable fishing method.

Tongtian then took the initiative to approach Yuanyi, forcefully inserting himself between Yuanyi and Nuwa, grabbing Yuanyi's hand and asking a barrage of questions: "I've never played this fishing game before?" "I've never tried your games either, why don't you teach me?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but emphasize the deep affection between him and Yuan Yi, which made Nuwa glance at him several times. In the end, Yuan Yi couldn't stand it anymore and dragged him to go fishing with him, and told him all the little tricks he used to use when he was fishing.

Finally, Tongtian, for reasons unknown, actually made a fishing rod with more than a dozen hooks and threw it into the Treasure Dividing Cliff.

Jieyin and Zhunti originally wanted to come over and ask a few questions, but that area was really crowded, and seeing that other people had already started fishing, they also started fishing first.

Discovering that they could catch treasures without asking, they quickly cast and reeled in the bait, knowing that every extra second of fishing meant a greater harvest, as their remote western region didn't have the same wealth as the Three Pure Ones.

The sharp-eyed Yuan Yi also noticed that even Hongjun had sent out a clone to a corner to pull out a fishing rod, but after fishing out something, he threw it back exactly as it was.

Although Yuan Yi didn't sense any magical treasures he was destined to find at the Treasure Distribution Cliff, he was already there, sitting by the fishpond with a fishing rod in his hand, and he felt itching to fish for a bit.

Having completed his task of providing a beginner's tutorial, Yuan Yi found a quiet corner and casually threw out a shot.

Soon something took the bait. Yuan Yi pulled it, but couldn't budge it for a long time. He wondered why the magic treasure below seemed to be fighting against him. He pulled and pulled again, and finally the other end of the fishing rod suddenly felt light and a palm-sized ball of light was pulled out.

Yuan Yi opened the ball of light with great anticipation, only to find that the halo was empty, containing nothing at all.

"They've escaped the hook?" Yuan Yi glanced around at the others still fishing. The Three Pure Ones had quite a bit of luck, with magical treasures being delivered to their doorsteps in no time. Nuwa had also caught several items. Although Jieyin and Zhunti were a bit slower, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit they caught was by no means bad. As for Hongjun, needless to say, this was his fishpond, and magical treasures were constantly coming his way.

Anyway, no matter how she looked around, as long as the bait was hooked, there would definitely be something inside. Only she managed to pull out an empty ball of light.

Damn it, she gets caught with no fish in a fishing game and goes home empty-handed. Is that reasonable?

Yuan Yi refused to believe she couldn't catch a second treasure. She cast her line again, and sure enough, this time it was an exceptionally heavy weight, just like the last time.

She gripped the light tightly, confirming that this was the same ball of light that had shaken her off last time. A mere magical artifact trying to escape its shell? She focused her inner energy in her dantian, using her spiritual power to bind herself to the pole, determined to hold onto the ball of light tightly.

As a result, no matter how much force she exerted, the other side exerted just as much force. The light, flimsy line was now completely taut. If it weren't a magical artifact, it would have been snapped by the person and the artifact long ago.

Since transmigrating, Yuan Yi has always done mental work and has never exerted so much effort before. Now, he is using his spiritual power to continuously increase his strength, striving to finally get his revenge and see what kind of magical treasure the following is.

She didn't cast her line or bait; if it's not meant to be, then don't cast your line. Why, even though you've chosen to tie your fishing rod to it, are you hesitant to take the bait?

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yi gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength again, this time really using every ounce of her might.

Sure enough, the resistance from the other side lessened for a moment, but before Yuan Yi could happily uncover the true nature of the other side, he saw his fishing rod fly out of his hand.

The fishing rod flew away?!

Author's Note: Hongjun [inventory items] [throws everything into Treasure Sharing Cliff] [retrieves the game's main body] [discovers resonance between the two] [modifies rules] [fun] [modifies again] [discovers newly recruited disciples can't get magic weapons] [fearful]

Hongjun [Luckily, I brought Yuanyi]: You're familiar with this, why don't you go and teach him? [heart emoji]

Actually, Hongjun still remembered the moment he felt he hadn't been a very responsible master, so this time he deliberately distributed magic weapons to his disciples. However, because he had gone too far in modifying the game earlier, he ended up making it so that his disciples couldn't get any magic weapons anymore [doge]. But Hongjun was always calm, so no one present noticed this problem and thought it was just a coincidence [doge].
