A fish shimmering with countless profound lights of the Great Dao took the bait, and Lin Qianxuan pulled desperately, much like an ordinary person reeling in a big fish.

Throughout the fishing process, none of his divine powers or sophisticated techniques were of any use.

The Mirror Sea would measure the weight of both him and the fish, leaving him to pull it out forcefully like a common person.

Moreover, within the Mirror Sea, the fish's strength seemed to have increased, struggling with exaggerated force.

Yet, as time passed, its strength gradually waned.

Lin Qianxuan wrestled with it until deep into the night, with no one around except him and Ling'Er.

When using the Mirror Sea to fish, it seems to actively shield ordinary people around them. They can't see what is caught on the line, nor do they care what they are actually doing.

Just like the computer hosting the game "String of Destiny," they are unaffected by cause and effect, not being the chosen ones, they cannot peek or interact.

"Come out!"

With a sudden exertion from Lin Qianxuan, the blob of light in the Mirror Sea abruptly flew out, heading straight for him.

Lin Qianxuan reached out and grasped it, and in the next moment, his cultivation increased by a third.

Just like that, simply, his energy level rose by nearly thirty thousand Heaven, and the volume of Great Dao information increased by more than thirty thousand modes.

"It really is possible....."

Though he had anticipated it, actually feeling such an enhancement, Lin Qianxuan was still somewhat disbelief.

It was as if he had just directly altered a number within himself.

Beside Lin Qianxuan, Ling'Er looked at him in confusion, not understanding why his fishing was so laborious.

Clearly, the cumulative weight of this world isn't even a fraction of their own.

Theoretically, they should be able to easily fish out anything in this world.

Lin Qianxuan met Ling'Er's gaze, instantly understanding that she hadn't yet grasped the usage of Dao Fruit.

As an AI lifeform, she is somewhat rigid in certain areas.

Simply put, her ability to associate is a bit lacking.

So despite her having a more perfect Dao Fruit than him, she may not be able to use it as effectively as he does.

"We are also part of this world. I was fishing out a portion of my dissected cultivation, and succeeded." Lin Qianxuan said to Ling'Er.

With just one sentence, Ling'Er understood everything.

"Is that even possible?" Ling'Er said in a daze.

"Of course it's possible," Lin Qianxuan replied with a smile.

Ling'Er tossed her fishing rod into the lake, and after a while, her rod twitched slightly. With a sudden force, a fish-shaped sphere of light flew out, which she caught with her hand.

The fish still wiggled in her hand; it was a manifestation of a portion of her cultivation reflected and revealed by the Dao Fruit.

Subsequently, Lin Qianxuan saw her open her mouth, distorting the surrounding space, and swallow the large fish directly.

With just that one mouthful, her cultivation increased by a tenth.

She was much steadier than Lin Qianxuan.

"It really can be done!" Ling'Er said, her eyes lighting up.

Vaguely, Lin Qianxuan saw a large expanse of profound yellow misty qi connecting with her being.

[Ling'Er's current connection rate with String of Destiny is 23%.]

The initial favorability was surprisingly easy to gain.

By merely guiding her with one trick, she actually exceeded twenty percent.

"With this view, coming back for Ling'Er isn't necessary for our counterattack, right?" Lin Qianxuan murmured.

Initially, he thought that the gap between himself and those who coveted the Dao Fruit was quite significant.

After all, facing those individuals, even the Spirit Qi World seemed like dust.

Even if he continuously evolved with his Evolutionary Body, he didn't know how long it would take to reach their level.

But in front of the Dao Fruit, it didn't seem as challenging as imagined.

One fishing attempt increased his strength by a third.

If the enhancement remains stable, with this efficiency, even those supreme beings might not compare.

For the first time, Lin Qianxuan had the feeling that he didn't need to rely on the "String of Destiny" to be confident of overcoming the challenge.

Yes, the String of Destiny is a Dao Fruit, his fishing rod is also a Dao Fruit, and both hold the same status.

Otherwise, Ling'Er could not actively intervene in the proceedings.

"If the fishing efficiency increases by a tenth at a time, how long will it take to match those supremes?" Lin Qianxuan asked Ling'Er.

"I'm not sure because the appearance of those fish is random, and it's not stable that they will bite during fishing. But even once a day is definitely enough within a hundred years!" Ling'Er affirmed.

"Do we have a hundred years?" Lin Qianxuan questioned suspiciously.

To someone at his level, a hundred years isn't particularly long.

Although the fishing rod is also a Dao Fruit, the concept of the String of Destiny seems to be even more powerful. In general circumstances, Lin Qianxuan would passively or actively get involved in its arranged destiny, unable to choose to evade.

Nor would it give him enough time to grow.

"That I don't know," Ling'Er shook her head.

Though Dao Fruits are powerful, their application is still very crude for them, and their understanding is not deep.

Lin Qianxuan fell into contemplation.

He began to ponder more possibilities.

Thus far, all possible experiments with the fishing rod have succeeded.

As long as it was conceptually consistent, his fishing endeavors could all succeed.

Mirror Sea World.....

Can the definition of a world extend beyond just the current world?

Lin Qianxuan cast his hook, and the Mirror Sea was reflected once more.

This time, the Mirror Sea World was broader.

It contained not only the current Eternal Sand World, but also the surrounding chaotic void, where chaos qi changed, and laws were disordered, vaguely revealing some shadowy figures of chaotic fish.

Lin Qianxuan didn't know what they were, nor did he dare to fish them randomly.

As of now, he doesn't know whether the fish he has hooked can be entirely controlled by him.

In case they're living creatures and uncontrollable, it would be too absurd.

It turns out that the world within the range of cognition can all be reflected in the Mirror Sea.

Lin Qianxuan's cognition is not limited to the current Eternal Sand World.

There is also the 1,800 light-year range covered by his True Thought.

Thus, the extent of this Mirror Sea World will be somewhat exaggerated.

"Can something fake work? A two-dimensional world?"

As Lin Qianxuan's mind shifted, the Mirror Sea stirred with ripples, a world vaguely took shape, but soon shattered.

The virtual world is beyond his knowledge; he doesn't understand such a world deeply, so he can't manifest it through the Mirror Sea.

Cognition!

So is the way to use Dao Fruit a matter of broadening cognition?

But somehow it seems not entirely that way.

Lin Qianxuan felt that the Dao Fruit was quite like a wish machine that grants what your heart desires.

But the key to a successful wish is that you have found the method to use the wish machine and firmly believe that the wish will be realized.

Subjective!

But not entirely subjective.

Because it has a carrier in the material world and must act according to the rules of the material world.

At least this rod must work through fishing.

And the entire fishing process is the course of making a wish with the Dao Fruit wish machine.

Afterward, Lin Qianxuan decided to fish for a small fish.

He wanted to catch a living thing to test.

Although the nature of the fish before being hooked is unclear, the struggle during the fishing process allows Lin Qianxuan to somewhat judge its size.

After a while, Lin Qianxuan reeled in the rod again.

A fish shimmering with light flew out of the water and was grasped in his palm.

This time it was a living creature.

A small sparrow, and when Lin Qianxuan held it, he knew its information immediately.

At this moment, influenced by the concept of the rod, it had transformed into a fish, fully under Lin Qianxuan's control.

Next, Lin Qianxuan had two choices.

First, let it continue to maintain its fish form and release it back into the Mirror Sea.

Second, dissolve its fish form and revert it to its original appearance.

In other words, any fish caught would definitely be completely mastered, and there would be no chance of it struggling free and jumping back into the Mirror Sea.

Unless he actively released it.

Or dissolved its fish shape, only then would it escape control and return to its origin.

"Why do I always feel it's because such an event happened, hence the deliberate setting..."

Lin Qianxuan inexplicably had such an intuition.

However, this made Lin Qianxuan feel much calmer.

At least he didn't have to worry about fishing up a Chaos Giant Beast, then battling it for three hundred rounds, and shattering the world.

If he finds a fish with a problem, he can refine it or simply return it to the Mirror Sea.

Beside Lin Qianxuan, Ling'Er caught another fish.

Uncertain what it was, but her energy level increased considerably.

"It's your Great Dao." Facing Lin Qianxuan's gaze, Ling'Er explained.

"Do you want to rest?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

To them, resting wasn't necessary.

But Lin Qianxuan still remembered the last piece of information about the rod.

It told him to enjoy the fun of fishing, not to rush.

He felt that if he acted too pragmatically, the efficiency might not be as high as genuine fishing.

"No rest, keep fishing," Ling'Er shook her head.

Lin Qianxuan pondered and cast the hook again.

Might as well let it flow naturally.

It's just the first simulation; he still has chances.

For now, gathering information is key.

After increasing his connection with Ling'Er, Lin Qianxuan found it easier to fish.

The primary manifestation was the fish biting the bait faster.

The hook moving through the Mirror Sea became easier.

Additionally, the struggle of the fish somewhat decreased.

Or rather, he found it easier to exert force.

Throughout the night, Lin Qianxuan fished up a lot of random things.

He conducted many experiments.

He even tried to see if he could directly fish out something abstract like the String of Destiny connection.

But he failed—the fish didn't materialize at all.

He didn't know enough about the String of Destiny, lacked cognition, and the wish failed.

Also, like that large fish equivalent to one-third of his cultivation, he didn't catch another like it.

A particular fish, it seemed, only appeared once in a while, or he missed it since those fish appeared sporadically. Without approaching, it was hard to even determine their size, let alone species; Lin Qianxuan couldn't figure out which was which.

Furthermore, fishing up a big fish depended largely on luck. Several times Lin Qianxuan narrowly missed big fish, but they didn't bite.

Only small fish were caught.

Yet, the name seemed quite accurate.

At least a fish would certainly bite every time.

He never had an empty hook.
