The next morning.
Today was the last day of the month for the Sacred Clan's ancestral technique comprehension.
The Seventh Ancestor came to the side of the ancient well early in the morning. Not only that, but he also set up an ancient mirror on the stone bench beside him.
In the mirror, there were faint waves of probing energy seeping out.
It turned out that the Seventh Ancestor had reported to the other Ancestors that Linghu Yun, one of the younger generation, was expected to catch a fish and comprehend a third-level ancestral technique. The Ancestors were quite concerned.
The First Ancestor even personally handed a mirror to the Seventh Ancestor and placed it at the scene.
Through the mirror, they could see every movement in the ancient well from the secret chamber where they were training in isolation.
Today, all the people of the younger generation had rushed over in high spirits.
Today was the last chance, and they had to cherish it.
"Third Brother, it seems that you are the only one who can catch a fish in recent years," a sister said in admiration.
"Yes, Third Brother has changed. He has been reborn."
Everyone had high expectations for Linghu Yun. After all, his performance the day before had shown signs of success.
Linghu Jie, who was left out, was jealous. "What's so great about him? Nothing is certain until the last moment."
As time passed, Su Yu was the only one among the younger generation who had not arrived.
"Let's begin." The Seventh Ancestor saw that the time was almost up and could not wait to open the ancient well.
Linghu Yun reminded him, "Seventh Ancestor, big brother is not here yet. Let's wait a little longer. It's not time yet anyway."
The Seventh Ancestor shook his head. "Don't worry about him. Today, you are the leader!"
He exhorted. "To comprehend the ancestral technique, you need to focus. There must be no distracting thoughts in your mind, or you will fail on the verge of success! Now, don't worry about anything, don't think about anything, understand? "
Linghu Yun nodded deeply. "Thank you for your teachings, Seventh Ancestor. I understand."
The younger generation quickly gathered around the ancient well, racing against time to throw their fishing lines and hooks into the well.
However, it was difficult for them to calm down, and they were all paying attention to Linghu Yun from time to time.
What made them jealous was that after Linghu Yu's fishing line and hook were submerged in the well, the fish from the day before immediately came to hover in front of his hook.
Noticing this, the Seventh Ancestor's eyes lit up. He held his breath and quietly watched the situation unfold.
The other people of the younger generation also completely forgot that they were there to fish. Their gazes were all attracted by Linghu Yun's transformation.
Linghu Jie's heart was in his throat as he stared at the fish nervously.
Whether or not Linghu Yun could replace him and become the best of his generation depended on the fish in front of him.
He prayed silently in his heart. It must not succeed, no!
However, things didn't go as planned.
The fish circled around Linghu Yun's hook for a long time. Finally, it made up its mind. It quickly ran over and bit the hook.
The Seventh Forefather's eyes narrowed, and he secretly said, "Quick, pull the fishing line!"
Everyone else's heart sank.
As expected, he was going to succeed!
Linghu Yun was also incomparably excited. He pulled his soul thread with all his might.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to catch the fish. There were very few exceptions.
However, an unexpected scene had actually occurred today!
After the fish took the bait, it seemed to realize that the hook wasn't what it wanted, so when Linghu Yun pulled on the line, it spat it out.
Linghu Yun had used too much force, and he, who was sitting by the well, staggered and fell to the ground.
The fishing line and hook formed from his soul slammed into his body. It was as embarrassing as one could imagine.
The Seventh Forefather and the patriarchs behind the mirrors all sighed in disappointment.
"Linghu Yun, your heart isn't pure," the Seventh Forefather said regretfully and disappointedly. "The ancestral method rejects you."
He had placed too much hope on Linghu Yun, but he had been too disappointing.
Many of the younger generation heaved sighs of relief and gloated over his misfortune.
Linghu Jie couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, I thought you were going to make a complete comeback. Who would have thought! I told you not to celebrate too early! "
"Sigh! Things have indeed been too smooth for Third Brother these past few years. I thought it was because he worked hard enough, but it seems that luck was more important. "
"Crows are like phoenixes that fly to the treetops. That's not realistic."
They spoke one after another, and all of them looked proud and elated.
The Seventh Forefather saw this and felt even more vexed. "Shut up! You don't want to comprehend the ancestral method, do you? "
When he looked at Linghu Yun, his tone changed. "Linghu Yun, you don't have to continue. Just watch from the side."
Usually, if a person who had been rejected by a fish tried to fish again, it would only affect the performance of others.
Linghu Yun got up from the ground, wiped the water off his face, and said awkwardly, "Yes."
He stood alone beside the ancient well, watching the fish swimming in it, but he could only remain indifferent. His emotions were extremely complicated.
After a cup of tea's time …
Su Yu, who had arrived just in time, was surprised to find that the ancient well had begun ahead of time.
"It's begun?" He was slightly surprised that such a major event could be brought forward so casually.
The Soul Saint Tribe probably had too much hope for Linghu Yun.
The Seventh Forefather's face was as calm as still water. He glanced at Su Yu and looked away. "Hurry up and go. Don't waste any time."
Su Yu wasn't in a hurry.
In the past two days, he had learned all the more important secret soul techniques in the well. Today was the day to officially fish and learn the ancestral method of soul.
He glanced around and found Linghu Yun watching from the side. He asked curiously, "Third Brother, why aren't you going?"
Linghu Yun smiled bitterly. "Big brother, you don't know …"
After listening to his explanation, Su Yu suddenly understood and patted his shoulder. "Keep up the good work in the future."
"Thank you, Big Brother."
Linghu Jie turned to look at Su Yu and said with a smile, "Big Brother, why don't you hurry up? How much longer are you going to dawdle?"
Su Yu came to the side of the ancient well without saying a word.
Looking at the nine indifferent fishes swimming on their own, Su Yu separated a part of his soul and transformed it into a fishing line and a fishing hook. He threw them into the water for the first time.
Because he wasn't careful enough, the fishing hook smashed into the water, causing a splash.
Linghu Jie teased him, "Big Brother, aren't you too impatient? Don't tell me that a fish will take the bait as soon as one of you throws the hook? "
Not long after he said that, Linghu Jie suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
This was because after the fishing hook fell, while it was still sinking, a nearby fish swam over at an alarming speed and bit the fishing hook.
Linghu Jie wasn't the only one who was stunned by the scene. The rest of the juniors stared with their eyes wide open, their faces petrified.
The Seventh Ancestor, who was distraught, didn't pay attention to the situation in the ancient well. He only noticed their strange expressions and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you all doing? Don't you want to comprehend it anymore?"
As he spoke, he cast a probing gaze into the ancient well.
However, as soon as he saw it, his whole body trembled and he was petrified on the spot.
Only a pair of eyes remained, following the fishing line formed by Su Yu's soul and pulling the fish up.
The strangest thing was that the fish didn't resist at all. It was like a dead fish, willingly being pulled up …
