My longevity simulation

What lay before his eyes was no longer a small, still pond.

Instead, it was a vast expanse resembling a sky filled with endless stars!

Countless dazzling orbs of light were concealed within.

From the fleeting images passing over their surface, Ji Shaoli could faintly glimpse visions of exotic beasts, magical treasures, and even cultivators locked in battle!

And Ji Shaoli himself sat atop this starry expanse.

He cast down a single fishing line!

The countless orbs of light were like fish in a pond.

At first, startled, they instinctively fled.

Then, curiosity took hold, and some began to approach cautiously.

The white ones emitted almost no discernible aura.

But from green to orange, the pressure exuded by the orbs gradually intensified.

Among them, in this vast sea of stars, golden and purple-gold orbs flashed momentarily. The sheer presence contained within them was so overwhelming that even Ji Shaoli—who had seen the remains of Longevity Immortals and True Immortals—felt a shudder in his heart.

“What exactly is this thing…?”

Even after experiencing a hundred lifetimes and witnessing countless grand spectacles,

the sight before Ji Shaoli now left him utterly stunned.

His mind trembled, his state of mind wavered.

In an instant, he was forced out of the starry fishing state!

The endless starlight vanished, leaving only an ordinary, unremarkable little pond before him.

“This…”

Ji Shaoli instinctively clenched his fists, taking a deep breath.

With his unparalleled insight, he immediately realized—he had stumbled upon something truly extraordinary!

Even with his firm temperament, it took him a long time to calm his emotions completely.

Adjusting his mindset to that of a pure fisherman, Ji Shaoli cast his line once more!

However…

Nothing changed.

Ji Shaoli gripped the fishing rod tightly. After pondering for a moment, he recalled how Zhong Shentong and his disciple had merely cast their lines once.

“It seems there’s a limit to how many times this can be done within a certain timeframe.”

Feeling a slight sense of regret, he withdrew his fishing rod and dispelled his illusion technique.

Then, from a distance, he silently observed once more.

Inside the small temple, the master and disciple’s lives seemed unchanged.

Each day was spent in the same routine—eating, resting, and fishing.

When Zhong Shentong fished again, he only caught a single white orb of light, leaving disappointed.

His young disciple, after several attempts, caught nothing at all.

Finally, Ji Shaoli’s turn came again.

Taking a deep breath, as an experienced fisherman, he adjusted his mindset to its peak state.

Then, he cast his line!

In an instant, Ji Shaoli once again entered the boundless starry sky!

This time, he was no longer awed by the breathtaking spectacle—he was prepared for it.

At last, he maintained his state of fishing in the stars.

“Fishing requires bait. If I want to catch these orbs of light, what do I need?”

Watching as the majority of orbs swiftly distanced themselves, leaving behind only an empty space, Ji Shaoli couldn’t help but ponder.

It was clear that this place was beyond the realm of Xuanhuang.

Instead, it was an independent space of its own.

His body was nothing more than a projection of thought, and in his hands was nothing but a plain, bare fishing rod.

Naturally, he had no means to attach any bait to it.

“Could it be that this is purely a case of ‘the willing take the hook’?” Ji Shaoli couldn’t help but wonder.

Because he noticed that, as time passed,

It seemed that the orbs of light were getting used to the presence of his fishing line, gradually beginning to draw near.

Some were even intrigued, tentatively prodding at it with curiosity.

As a white ball of light drifted too close, it was instantly and tightly absorbed into the fishing line.

Ji Shaoli only felt the fishing rod suddenly sink.

Then, unable to control himself, he instinctively lifted it.

The scene before his eyes shattered in an instant, and he found himself back in the small mountain temple.

However, in his hand, he now held a white ball of light.

Inside this light sphere, there seemed to be an independent world—his spiritual sense could not penetrate it.

Following the actions he had observed from Zhong Shentong earlier, Ji Shaoli reached out and groped around inside.

Eventually, after retrieving a dark green stone, the light sphere slowly dissipated.

“This is…”

By now, Ji Shaoli had seen and experienced much.

Yet, upon examining the mineral in his hand, he realized that he had never seen such a material before!

“It’s either an extremely rare variety, or…”

“It is not of the Xuanhuang Realm!”

“The white light spheres should be the lowest tier of value in the starry sky. They shouldn’t be so precious that I’ve never even heard of them.”

“If that’s the case, then my guess might be correct.”

Ji Shaoli’s eyes flickered.

This fishing pool likely originated from another cultivation realm, an unparalleled supreme treasure.

It might even be an immortal artifact from the Immortal Realm!

In his 115th life, at the end of his existence, Li Fan had once used the True Cauldron of the Medicine King to break into the Immortal Ruins, where he had encountered the remains of a True Immortal.

Through that, he had experienced the awe-inspiring might of an immortal.

But at this moment, from within the endless starry sky of this fishing pool, he once again sensed the same level of power that emanated from the remains of that True Immortal!

And it wasn’t just one such aura!

The fleeting purple-gold and dark-gold light spheres that streaked across the starry sky gave him a feeling that was in no way inferior to that of a True Immortal!

“This shouldn’t be my imagination.”

“Even if I’m mistaken in some details, the caliber of this fishing pool must be extraordinarily high.”

Ji Shaoli’s eyes gleamed.

He suddenly recalled a rumor he had heard before.

In the ancient Xuanhuang Realm, immortal artifacts once existed.

However, during the great catastrophe, all immortal artifacts—along with even the remnants of immortals—disappeared without a trace.

“Could it be that this fishing pool is one of the few immortal artifacts that survived?”

“And Zhong Shentong, a mere mortal with no background, was able to obtain the Life and Death Profound Art and even divine abilities like the Seven-Colored Divine Light…”

“All because of this fishing pool?”

In an instant, Ji Shaoli pieced together the possible cause and effect.

“This fishing pool is highly unique. Only by maintaining the mindset of a true fisherman can one discover it. Perhaps this is also why it has remained intact until now.”

His thoughts swirled, and an uncontrollable sense of greed surged in his heart.

However, possessing a far stronger will than most, he quickly suppressed his desires.

His attempts for the day were already used up, so Ji Shaoli chose not to act recklessly.

Instead, he temporarily withdrew.

On the third day, after Zhong Shentong’s master once again failed to catch anything, Ji Shaoli stood by the pond and cast his line once more.

Knowing that the fishing pool likely contained power related to the Immortal realm, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.

Perhaps it was because of this fluctuation in his heart that, shortly after entering the fishing starry sky, he was forcibly expelled.

Ji Shaoli was momentarily stunned.

Then, realization dawned upon him.

“Anyone who seeks treasure or tries to unravel its secrets—none of them are allowed?”

“Only a true fisherman can enter the starry sky.”

Understanding this, Ji Shaoli shook his head.

He had no choice but to wait for the next day to come.

At the same time, he adjusted his mindset.

Once he had completely suppressed his greed, Ji Shaoli successfully entered again. Discover more novels at ⓝovelFire.net

This time, he cast his line with extraordinary focus.

The fishing line slowly descended, and countless light spheres surged once more.
