In that fleeting moment of Su Mu's distraction, a big black float caught him off guard and gave him a start.

He grabbed the fishing rod tightly, and the line instantly went taut.

Feeling the strong pull, Su Mu stood up, pulling his hands backwards.

Good heavens!

The strength is quite considerable!

Judging by this force, it must be a Treasure Fish, otherwise, it wouldn't show such power.

When you catch a big fish, you must use skill. To prevent the line from breaking, you must know how to play the fish, not just use brute force; otherwise, if the line snaps, it would be disheartening.

The worst thing in the world is having the line snap after catching a big fish. If such a thing happens, you'd have to sit up in bed at night and give yourself a couple of hard slaps.

.....

At this moment, on Liuyun Continent.

A thousand years ago, this continent was originally named "Source Spirit Continent." Later, during a cataclysmic war a millennium ago, a man named "Xiao Liuyun" singlehandedly fought the top ten supreme powerhouses, becoming the foremost figure on the continent.

On the day Emperor Xiao ascended the throne, the Source Spirit Continent was renamed "Liuyun Continent," and this land became Emperor Xiao's domain, where he stood at the continent's pinnacle, feeling the loneliness of invincibility.

The Saint Cloud Hall, built atop the highest mountain on the continent, backed by the Spiritual Source River, is surrounded by the nine Dragon Neck Sacred Veins.

It was night, and the moonlight cascaded down.

A handsome, tall, and slender man in white sat upright beneath a tree of remorse in front of the Saint Cloud Hall.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a gentle sip, and let out a heavy sigh.

He lifted his head, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, as a faint sense of solitude welled up in his heart.

His name is Xiao Liuyun, the Liuyun of Liuyun Continent, the foremost person of this land, and he is, in truth, a Transmigrator.

Three thousand years ago, he transmigrated to this continent, gaining a golden finger, and with its help, he soared all the way, crushing contemporaries, with invincibility as his nickname.

It took him two thousand years to reach the top, and he has now ruled over the continent for a thousand years.

He now has position, status, women, and descendants, seemingly having a perfect life, lacking nothing.

But in reality, only he knows, he lacks a sense of passion.

Recalling those two thousand years, he faced life-and-death situations, provoked sects, flirted with saintesses, trampled prodigies, and was proud and unrestrained.

And now, having it all, he instead feels uneasy in his heart.

Over the years, he has also researched methods of ascension, but the records about ascension in this continent are scarce.

No one knows exactly how to ascend to the Upper Realm or what the specific method of ascension is.

If possible, he truly wishes for some kind of foreign invasion, some powerful enemies, to reignite his bloodlust.

...

The next day, early morning.

Xiao Liuyun, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes.

In the next second, the void before him started to distort, and a spatial rift appeared, from which a tall, robust man wearing a mask emerged.

The robust man knelt on one knee, clasped his fists respectfully before the seated Xiao Liuyun, and said, "Master, something has happened in the Northern Domain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuyun casually asked, "What could happen?"

It's already hard to find something that piques his interest, and a problem on the continent is merely an issue on his own turf—just minor squabbles, in his eyes.

However, since Xiao Jiu personally came to report, it probably isn't a trivial matter, so he asked.

"In the sky above the Northern Domain, black clouds cover tens of thousands of kilometers, and the void is distorted; a treasure has emerged."

The robust man answered deliberately, word by word.

"A treasure?"

"If you're interested, go fetch it yourself; it's yours."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuyun instantly lost interest. He had expected a foreign invasion, but it turned out to be just a treasure's emergence—nothing interesting.

He's been ruling the continent for a thousand years, and he's already obtained all the top treasures on the continent, even bestowing a lot on his subordinates and descendants.

The thing he's least in need of is treasures; the thing he's least interested in is treasures.

Under heaven, nothing is not the king's land, nor is there a border not the king's subject?

He is the master of this continent, and any treasure that appears on the continent, no matter whose hands it's in, is still his, isn't it?

If one day he feels like it and wants it back, it's a simple matter of waving a hand.

Standing at this height, his mindset has long since changed.

.....

"Master, I didn't come to you for this."

"Furthermore, the space above the Northern Domain is completely distorted due to that mysterious treasure."

"Our people from the Saint Cloud Sect have already gone there, ten Elders went, and they were all wiped out."

Hearing these words, Xiao Liuyun's gaze finally shifted, and he slowly stood up.

"The Northern Domain, correct?"

Xiao Liuyun asked again.

Upon hearing, the robust man nodded.

In the next instant, Xiao Liuyun's body merged into the space, and seeing this, the robust man followed.

It took just three breaths for Xiao Liuyun to arrive above the void of the Northern Domain.

Ahead, the void was sealed with dark clouds, and a powerful aura of blood and evil quickly spread throughout the entire land of the Northern Domain.

At this moment, countless strong figures from the continent had already gathered around, among them sect leaders, saint masters, elders from various sects, and holy lands.

Upon seeing Xiao Liuyun's arrival, these people seemed to find their backbone, bowing to him in unison, "Greetings, Emperor Xiao."

Emperor Xiao, who has ruled the continent for a thousand years, is the strongest ruler in the history of the continent, earning them immense respect.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuyun merely nodded slightly, his gaze penetrated the blood mist, locking onto the target.

It was an object shrouded in a bloody aura, his Divine Sense unable to probe within, unknown what it was.

However, as soon as he detected a wisp of an aura not belonging to this continent, his pupils shrank, and his heart began to stir with excitement.

This object must be connected to a higher world!

Suddenly, Xiao Liuyun's aura burst forth, transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards the bloody Restricted Area.

The closer he got, the denser the Vital Blood Force became, influencing even the flow of his blood.

Upon closing in, Xiao Liuyun extended his large hand towards the object emitting the bloody light before him.

The moment he grabbed it, an extremely strong pulling force directly drew his entire body upwards into the void.

This scene was witnessed by countless cultivators observing from the periphery, all of them breaking into a sweat for Emperor Xiao.

But in the next second, not only did Xiao Liuyun not resist, but he allowed the force to pull him upwards into the void.

His expression turned filled with anticipation, letting out an earth-shattering laugh.

"Everyone, don't be alarmed."

"I have ascended to the Upper Realm."

"I'm leaving the continent to you."

With that, the air echoed with his hearty laughter, and even after the sky returned to normal, the laughter lingered long, resonating throughout the entire continent.
