Ye Fan just thought it was a little girl throwing a tantrum, after all, fishing is a job that requires patience.
But he soon realized that he had greatly underestimated the little girl's patience.
Ye Fan tried fishing several more times, but all of them ended in failure.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Ye Fan glanced at the fishing rod, which seemed to be undulating slightly. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself, "It looks like it's about to take the bait..."
"Wow~~~"
With a loud thud, the fishing rod in Jiu Ye Fan Lin's hand trembled violently, as if a fish were darting wildly in the water.
Ye Fan's expression froze.
He glanced at the water, then looked up at Sangsang beside him.
He quickly pulled a large carp out of the water, then skillfully tossed it into the fish basket, chuckling, "Hmm, extra treat tonight... fish for dinner?"
Sangsang watched Ye Fan cast the hook again and repeat the same action. She just watched him quietly and said, "Didn't you catch them all? Are you going to keep going?"
"Fishing just seems so boring!" Sangsang complained again, looking calmly at the calm water...
As Ye Fan watched the fish swimming around in the water, he suddenly realized that he quite enjoyed fishing...
"Fishing, I actually think it's quite fun..."
Sang Sang: "..."
"What can you possibly catch by fishing like that? To think you can actually fish out the Great Dao is utter nonsense," Sangsang said, scoffing.
Ye Fan glanced at her lazily: "When you're fishing, you naturally have to put your heart into it."
"Fishing itself transcends the mundane and vulgar; it is a great path in itself..." Ye Fan smiled.
Sang Sang scoffed.
"You actually said fishing is boring?" Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Oh? Is that so? Then tell me... why aren't you bored? And how did you manage to lure out the Great Dao?" Sangsang said, dissatisfied and annoyed!
"No matter what you catch, fishing is utterly boring. The Great Way? That's utter nonsense..."
Ye Fan looked at Sang Sang and said calmly, "I just want to ask you, is your goal the fishing itself or the process of fishing?"
"Fishing, of course!" Sangsang replied without hesitation!
"Since this is fishing, you should understand that your mindset isn't suited for it," Ye Fan sneered.
"What do you know?" Sangsang sneered!
Ye Fan looked at Sang Sang and said, "The meaning of fishing lies in the fact that it is a form of cultivation. Your mindset determines your achievements. You want to fish, but your mindset doesn't allow it. Therefore, you are destined never to catch the Great Dao."
Sangsang was stunned, looking at Ye Fan and not knowing how to refute him.
Ye Fan explained it very clearly; she really couldn't do what he did, to merge her mind with the Great Dao and reach such a high level.
"The so-called Great Dao is the Great Dao in one's own heart. What you want to fish for is the Dao in your own heart, not an appendage of the Great Dao," Ye Fan said. "Our pursuit of the Dao is itself a kind of following one's heart without overstepping the bounds... If you can do that, or if the Dao in your heart can make you do whatever you want, it is not impossible for you to catch the Great Dao, but you cannot do that."
"Your path, your state of mind, and your desires seem rather problematic!"
"Different mindsets lead to different paths!"
Ye Fan's tone was very soft and slow, but it struck Sang Sang's heart like a heavy hammer!
She stared blankly at Ye Fan, unable to utter a single word.
“I once heard someone say that there is a strange power in this world called ‘cause and effect.’ It exists in the dark, yet it is not within any person or any rule. Everyone is searching for this mysterious power, so one day this power will descend upon someone or something, bringing them opportunity or destruction,” Ye Fan continued.
Sangsang stared blankly at Ye Fan, her heart churning with turmoil.
...............
Ye Fan's words not only struck Sang Sang's heart like a heavy hammer, but also sent chills down her spine.
Does such a magical power truly exist in this world?
This also surprised the people who had been guarding the Truman system, who looked as if they had suddenly realized something!
So that's how it is...
The Martial Saint's state of mind far surpasses that of the Jade Emperor!
...............
Shangyin Academy...
Huang Shilong remained unable to calm his emotions for a long time in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. His eyes were filled with confusion, bewilderment, and even fear!
He suddenly realized something and exclaimed in amazement: "Today, it seems, it seems, that I too can fish out my own Great Dao..."
Suddenly, Huang Shilong felt his heart filled with fighting spirit, and he longed for the true path of fishing!
"I...I want to try..."
Finally, Huang Shilong clenched his fist and made up his mind.
Boating on the lake, leisurely fishing...
He was filled with astonishment at Ye Fan, and recalling those words, it seemed that his own path had begun to loosen...
.........
Inside Lei Family Fortress, in the main hall, everyone watched Haotian's journey to Wangjian Mountain with bated breath. Now, after hearing Ye Fan's explanation, they were filled with amazement. Subsequently, many Lei Family disciples sat cross-legged in the main hall!
In particular, the eight heroes of Lei Men were all sitting cross-legged, and they all seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough!
This made Lei Hong, Lei Qianhe, and the others nod in satisfaction.
They all understood that the Lei family disciples' achievements were all thanks to Ye Fan!
At this moment, almost everyone regarded Ye Fan as a god-like being, who guided many people to break through with just a few words!
Ye Fan's existence is like a god descending to the mortal world, changing them.
“I want to go fishing…” a Lei Men disciple murmured to himself.
“I also want to go fishing…” another Lei Men disciple chimed in.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, the disciples of the Thunder Gate spoke up, and for a moment, the scene became quite chaotic.
…………
Meanwhile, the situation of the Tang Clan seems to be similar to that of the Lei Family Fortress…
The Tang Clan disciples admired Ye Fan even more than the Lei Family Valley disciples.
His strength is in no way inferior to the Eight Heroes of Lei Men, and may even be superior!
Many people don't realize that there's such a profound truth behind the seemingly simple act of fishing!
They just felt that Ye Fan was simply a god!
"My master said that on the path of cultivation, one must have strong faith to go further; otherwise, it is easy to perish... But this path feels different to me..."
"I want to fish too, I want to fish out my own path!"
"This time, we'll definitely be able to fish out the Great Dao!"

Inside the small courtyard on Wangcheng Mountain, filled with peach blossoms, Zhao Yuzhen was filled with astonishment, her face seemingly pale.
Li Fansong's expression was solemn. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Master, he... is an unparalleled genius. His mental state is too strong, too perfect, so much so that it has no flaws whatsoever. He is simply invincible!"
Zhao Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, even Haotian changed his expression! At this age, with this mindset and this temperament, Ye Fan truly deserves the title of Martial Saint of the Mortal World!"
Li Fansong frowned and said, "Master, what do you think will happen if Haotian is treated like this by Ye Fan?"
Zhao Yuzhen's face turned ashen as she said helplessly, "Haotian is the Heavenly Dao. This Ye Fan actually dares to treat Haotian like this. It seems a bit dangerous!"
Li Fansong said with some worry, "Master... if Ye Fan continues like this, it might cause a huge uproar!"
Zhao Yuzhen's expression darkened slightly as she said, "Let's wait and see. Haotian and Ye Fan, we can't afford to offend 500, and we don't need to provoke him either!"
…………
Inside the Flower-Shifting Palace…
Both Yaoyue and Lianxing were filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if the path they had chosen was slowly changing...
"We can't go on like this. We must start cultivating properly!" Yaoyue said, frowning.
Lianxing nodded, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Ye Fan truly was the man she and her sister both loved but could never have…
But he was even more worried about Ye Fan's safety, after all, that was Haotian! He was a hegemon-level figure in the world!
…………
Dark clouds rolled in from the sky!
Night fell, and the wind howled!
Thunder rumbled!
Lightning flashes across the sky!
The thunder roared through the heavens, as if the entire sky had exploded...
Inside the Sword Forging Manor…
