God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 595

Ethan narrowed his eyes and focused.

A bird hovered in the sky, its feathers blazing like molten gold. Its long tail trailed behind it like flowing sunlight, and beneath its body were three legs, each radiating terrifying heat.

"The legendary three-legged Golden Crow..."

Ethan’s breath slowed.

"And this tree—this is the Sacred Hibiscus Tree, the bridge between the human world and the heavens."

The moment the three-legged Golden Crow appeared, the origin of the towering tree before him became crystal clear.

The Sacred Hibiscus Tree was no ordinary divine plant.

It bore hibiscus fruits, nurtured supreme vitality, and more importantly—it gave birth to ancient mythical beasts: the three-legged Golden Crows.

According to ancient records, the Hibiscus Tree was the gate that connected heaven and earth, a pillar of life itself.

"Hibiscus..."

Ethan’s gaze pierced through layers of branches and leaves, locking onto several green-golden fruits hanging high above.

Each fruit was uneven in shape, covered in diamond-like pattern, radiating a soft green-gold glow. The vitality contained within them was so dense that even a casual breath made Ethan’s blood surge faintly.

Those were hibiscus fruits.

Legend said the Hibiscus Tree bloomed once every five to ten thousand years and bore fruit once every ten thousand years.

Each cycle, only nine fruits were born.

If left unpicked for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, the fruits would fall on their own, gain spiritual intelligence, and potentially transform into human form.

At that time, the three-legged Golden Crows would swallow the hibiscus fruits.

Yet not all fruits submitted to fate.

Some hibiscus fruits awakened early, escaped the pursuit of the Golden Crows, left the Sacred Tree, and cultivated as beings nearly indistinguishable from humans.

Thirty thousand years ago, a perfect Supreme realm cultivator who shook the entire continent—one step away from the Emperor realm—was rumored be a hibiscus fruit.

Ethan hid behind a massive slab of bluestone.

With a single thought, his perception locked onto all nine hibiscus fruits.

Not one was missing.

That meant only one thing.

He was the first to step into this place.

Ethan forced himself to calm down and began calculating.

The three-legged Golden Crows lived upon the Hibiscus Tree. To them, the hibiscus fruits were their lifeline—and they were the absolute guardians of both tree and fruit.

If one wished to pick a hibiscus fruit, one had to first defeat the Golden Crows.

And there were nine of them.

Each Golden Crow was a Demon Lord.

The weakest among them had already stepped into the Intermediate Demon Lord realm.

Two of them had reached the terrifying level of Upper Demon Lord realm.

Inside the Training Trial Secret Realm, all cultivators were suppressed by the rules.

Even Ethan, with his terrifying foundation and divine weapons, could not unleash their full power.

Under these constraints, even he could not confidently defeat an Upper Demon Lord-level Golden Crow.

At most, he could handle half of them.

Or perhaps, if he fought at full risk, he could suppress the two strongest Golden Crows.

But to face all nine?

That was no longer a question of courage—it was suicide.

Under the Trial’s rules, how could anyone compete with such ancient beings?

Picking a hibiscus fruit here was harder than ascending the heavens.

Yet the temptation was monstrous.

Hibiscus fruits could help Lunara break her bloodline suppression.

They could raise a Perfect Supreme’s chance of breaking into the Emperor realm.

They were treasures that would drive the entire continent into madness.

If the existence of these nine fruits were revealed, a sea of blood would follow.

The three-legged Golden Crows themselves were equally terrifying.

Their Golden Crow Flame ranked sixth among all Original Spiritual Flames.

If Ethan could subdue even one of them, it would be an enormous leap in strength.

But more than the fruits or the Golden Crows...

Ethan’s gaze slowly rose, fixing on the towering Sacred Tree itself.

Everything here was born from it.

So what kind of existence was the Hibiscus Sacred Tree?

Ethan activated the Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes.

Nothing.

No matter how deeply he looked, the tree remained unfathomable.

"...Interesting."

Ethan frowned slightly.

If even Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes failed, then only one option remained.

"Alicia," Ethan said silently, "open the holographic eyes."

[Holographic Eye activating] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

[Activation successful]

[Scanning...]

Information flooded into his vision.

[Target: Hibiscus Sacred Tree]

[Characteristics: Indestructible source of life. Hibiscus fruits possess supreme medicinal properties.]

[ Intelligence: Extremely high (currently dormant, awakening possible at any time)]

[ Strength: Great Emperor]

Ethan’s pupils shrank violently.

Great Emperor.

The true body of this Sacred Tree... was an Emperor-level existence.

At that moment, a question surfaced in Ethan’s mind.

Did Emperor Sage truly leave an inheritance here?

With a Hibiscus Sacred Tree of Emperor-level strength present, who could possibly hide treasures beneath its gaze?

Even a Supreme Realm expert would be insignificant before such an existence.

Only beings at the Emperor level could truly rival it.

Unless...

The Hibiscus Sacred Tree was still sleeping.

Fortunately, that was the case.

If it were awake, everyone who entered this secret realm—no matter how many—would likely die without ever touching a single fruit.

Ethan exhaled slowly and opened the holographic map.

The fishing spot overlapped perfectly with his position.

This lake... was a fishing spot.

Just as expected.

A moment later, Alicia’s voice sounded again.

[New fishing spot discovered]

[Congratulations to the host for discovering a diamond-level fishing spot]

[Please complete the fishing task as soon as possible]

"Diamond-level fishing spot..."

Ethan’s lips curved upward.

"Excellent."

If there was ever a time to fish, it was now—before anyone else could interfere.

He was just about to take out his fishing rod—

When a shrill cry tore through the sky.

The three-legged Golden Crow above screamed violently, its aura exploding outward.

That cry awakened the other Golden Crows.

At the same time, the valley trembled.

A translucent space barrier revealed itself as it absorbed multiple impacts.

Ripples spread across its surface.

Dozens of attacks slammed into it from outside.

Ethan’s smile vanished.

He turned sharply.

Beyond the barrier, dozens of figures hovered in the air, their auras sharp and oppressive, like drawn blades.

Ethan recognized them instantly.

They were geniuses from White Emperor City.
