God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 632

Light green brilliance drifted quietly through the valley.

Ever since the Hibiscus Sacred Tree awakened, this gentle radiance had filled every corner of the Spiritual Valley. It carried an incomparably pure vitality, soothing, nourishing, and calm. Even breathing within it made one feel as though their meridians were being gently washed by warm spring water.

Ethan sat by the lake, his posture relaxed.

The fishing rod in his hand trembled faintly.

His eyes flickered. With a smooth motion, he pulled the rod back.

Splash.

A palm-sized fish with shimmering, multicolored scales leapt from the water, wriggling wildly in midair before landing in the bucket with a crisp sound.

"Colorful ringfish."

Ethan glanced into the bucket and calmly counted.

Twenty.

Exactly twenty.

He nodded slightly, then without hesitation, tilted the bucket and poured all the fish back into the lake. The colorful ringfish darted away instantly, vanishing into the depths as though they had never been caught.

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out in his mind, clear and crisp.

[Congratulations, Sir for successfully catching twenty colorful ringfish and completing the hidden mission.]

[Obtained mysterious reward: Colorful Fish Can ×1, Fishing Value +100.]

[New fishing spot unlocked: Diamond-level fishing spot.]

[Congratulations, Sir, on completing your first experience at a Diamond Fishing Spot and winning the grand magical prize: Heaven-Piercing Pill ×3 and Fishing Value +300.]

[Teleportation function of fishing spots has been unlocked. You may teleport freely at any time.]

[System upgraded. New function unlocked — Synthesis.]

Alicia’s voice faded away.

Ethan’s eyes gleamed faintly.

Diamond-level fishing spot.

As expected of a legendary place like the Spiritual Valley.

He gained many things: Heaven-Piercing Pills, a new synthesis function, and a new fishing teleportation spot.

He suppressed the ripple of excitement in his heart and calmly collected all the rewards.

There was no rush.

He could study the new functions after leaving this place.

For now, there were still matters to settle.

Ethan rose to his feet.

In the next instant, his figure vanished from the lakeside.

When he reappeared, he was already dozens of feet away.

He adjusted his robes, straightened his posture, and walked toward the towering Hibiscus Sacred Tree step by step.

As he walked, his consciousness sank inward.

"Wake up," Ethan said calmly.

"Let me sleep, kid."

In the sea of consciousness, Onyx Orchid yawned lazily, his voice filled with impatience.

"How did you convince the Hibiscus Sacred Tree to help me?" Ethan asked.

"It wasn’t anything complicated," Onyx Orchid replied indifferently.

"Just made a deal."

"What deal?"

"You’ll know soon enough. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

Ethan’s brows twitched slightly.

"Nothing to do with you?"

"Then who made the deal?"

Onyx Orchid chuckled. "Of course it was made in your name. Otherwise, why would she help you?"

"...You."

Ethan was momentarily speechless.

"The situation was urgent," Onyx Orchid continued lazily, reclining on a chair formed from black mist.

"There was no better choice. I agreed to her request."

"What request?"

"It’s simple," Onyx Orchid said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Help her find something. Ask her yourself if you want the details."

With that, he yawned again, closed his eyes, and promptly fell asleep.

Ethan shook his head helplessly.

He withdrew his consciousness and stepped forward, stopping before the Hibiscus Sacred Tree.

"Junior Ethan pays his respects to Senior Sacred Tree."

He cupped his hands deeply, his attitude sincere.

"Child, no need for formalities," a gentle voice echoed softly.

"Speak quickly. The Training Trial Secret Realm will not remain open much longer."

"This junior has a question," Ethan said calmly. "It is said that Emperor Sage created this secret realm and left behind an inheritance. Does that inheritance truly exist here?"

"Ah... that boy’s inheritance."

The Hibiscus Sacred Tree’s tone carried a faint ripple.

"Of course it exists."

"But it is not destined for you."

"My nine Hibiscus Fruits, however, are destined for you."

"Are my nine Hibiscus Fruits inferior to that boy’s inheritance?" the Sacred Tree asked softly.

Ethan smiled.

"Of course not. To receive the nine Hibiscus Fruits is already an immense honor."

"I am merely curious. Emperor Sage’s inheritance is renowned across eras. I wish to see it with my own eyes."

"That boy’s inheritance lies below," the Hibiscus Sacred Tree replied. "If you wish to see it, go look for it."

Ethan nodded slightly, then continued.

"When we entered the ruins, we discovered something interesting."

"Whether it was the outer square, the inner halls, the corridors, forks, or even the wall lamps—everything was axially symmetrical."

"The entire ruin is a three-dimensional structure with perfect central symmetry."

He raised his gaze.

"And this valley lies directly above the central axis of those ruins."

"Not only that—the terrain itself places this valley at the absolute center."

"This is no coincidence."

"If Emperor Sage’s inheritance truly exists... it should be hidden here."

Ethan looked at the towering Sacred Tree, a calm, confident smile on his face.

For a moment, the Hibiscus Sacred Tree was silent.

Then, a trace of amusement surfaced in her voice.

"Interesting."

"After so many years, you are the first to correctly deduce the true location of that boy’s inheritance."

"Very well."

"Since you wish to see it, I will allow you to see it."

As her words fell...

The entire valley shook violently.

It was as if the earth itself had awakened.

Lunara, Elara, Kara, and the others were jolted awake from their cultivation states. They rose swiftly, alert, and hurried to Ethan’s side, instinctively bowing toward the Sacred Tree.

The ground trembled harder.

Cracks spread across the land before them, soil rolling and bulging as though something massive was forcing its way upward.

Boom!

A vast slab of earth was pushed aside.

Supported by glowing, pale-green roots, an I-shaped circular stone platform slowly emerged from beneath the ground.

When the earth finally settled, silence returned to the valley.

Everyone stared in shock.

The platform was about the size of an ordinary stone table, yet it radiated an unfathomable heaviness.

This was no ordinary stone, but a powerful weapon-refining creation.

There were complex runes engraved on it, and even if Ethan opened the Heaven-Piercing Mind Eyes, he would not have been able to penetrate it.
