God-Tier Fishing System - Chapter 318
Chapter 318: Chapter 318
He opened the Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes, directing his vision toward Latham to probe deeper into the man’s hidden strength.
At that moment, Alicia’s soft but lively voice chimed in his ears.
[Ding, warm reminder: Alicia has successfully fused with Sir’s Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes and obtained the Holographic Eye.]
“Hm?” Ethan stiffened. Then he immediately commanded, “Open the Holographic Eyes.”
[Turned on]
A new layer of reality unfolded before him. The cultivators in the auction hall appeared as figures wrapped in fog, their realms shimmering in clear labels beneath their forms.
[Latham]
[Race: Human]
[Realm: Intermediate Supreme—Peak]
“This holographic eye is good,” Ethan nodded repeatedly.
“Very good. It allows me to see their realms directly without alerting them.”
He shifted his gaze toward the cloaked woman seated in the audience.
[Iris]
[Race: Ice Spirit Clan — Ice Phoenix Bloodline]
[Realm: Inferior Supreme — Peak]
Then he turned toward the private box where Isolde Stonebridge should have been.
[Damion]
[Race: Human]
[Realm: Inferior Supreme — Later Stage]
Three Supreme Realm cultivators. Three different levels. All exposed beneath his newly awakened sight.
A mysterious woman.
The Commander of the Holy land of Endless Mountains.
And Latham, the Talker of Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Realm-wise, Latham stood highest.
Aura-wise—
The mysterious woman surpassed them all.
Ethan’s brows knotted slightly.
“Why is this woman’s realm inferior to Latham by a whole small realm, yet her aura vaguely surpasses his?”
He stared silently for a moment. Her aura was refined, complete, lacking even the faintest interference of the Heaven and Earth Chains.
“She’s very familiar with the young man beside her. According to Onyx Orchid, they should be outsiders.”
Ethan’s mind began turning at full speed.
“Where did they come from? Another continent? Another world?”
Another world was unlikely. Their martial system matched Oceanreach’s nearly perfectly. Every movement, every shift of energy, conformed to this world’s laws.
But—
“These two aren’t affected by the aura of the Heaven and Earth Chains at all…”
His pulse quickened.
“If they came from another continent… does that mean the continents outside Oceanreach don’t have the chains of heaven and earth?!”
His eyes sharpened instantly.
Onyx had mentioned before that martial arts in this era were weakened compared to the past. All realms now—Nirvana, Mahayana, Supreme, even Emperor—were only pseudo versions, restricted by the chained sky.
If other continents were unshackled from these chains…
If their cultivators practiced the complete, original cultivation path…
Then naturally—
A Peak Inferior Supreme could emit pressure surpassing an Intermediate Supreme here.
A faint hiss escaped Ethan’s lips.
“If that’s true… once cultivators from other continents decide to invade Oceanreach, wouldn’t it be complete one-sided suppression?”
He clenched his fists lightly.
But this was all speculation.
There were too many secrets in this vast world.
He needed confirmation—step by step.
“Alicia, do you know who placed the chains above the starry sky?” Ethan asked quietly.
[Searching, please wait…]
[Information located. The chains were created by a super-powerful being from a past era.]
“A super-powerful being?!” Ethan’s expression changed instantly.
“Who? What realm? And how do we break it?”
The Chains of Heaven and Earth were a direct obstacle to his cultivation. Something like this could not be ignored.
[Identity unknown. Realm unknown. But… realms below Emperor cannot break it. Only someone stronger than the being who laid the chains may undo them.]
Ethan’s pupils contracted.
“Above the Emperor Realm… So such a realm really exists.”
A faint tremor of excitement rippled through him.
The path did not end at Emperor.
There was more. Far more.
He steadied his breathing.
“Alicia, are there Heaven and Earth Chains in other continents?”
[Searching…]
[Unable to determine. There may or may not be.]
“Not certain, huh…”
Ethan tapped his chin lightly. He personally leaned toward the answer being no. Otherwise, the mysterious woman and the young man would not be so anomalous.
As he pondered—
Latham’s energetic voice echoed through the auction hall.
“Everyone has been waiting long enough. The finale of this treasure appraisal conference will now be presented!”
His words stirred the chamber instantly.
A brilliant barrier flickered into existence as Latham waved his hand, sealing the central stone platform.
Then, with another motion, a massive rectangular box appeared atop the platform.
Nearly a thousand eyes fixed upon it in the same instant.
Ethan’s eyelids twitched slightly.
“…A coffin?”
“Why bring out a coffin? Could it be…”
Zeon stroked his chin thoughtfully, then his eyes brightened.
Magnus, Roan, Rain, and many others showed similar expressions.
They had all arrived at the same conclusion.
“The corpse of a powerful Supreme!”
Rain exhaled deeply. “To think the Myriad Treasures Pavilion actually brought out a Supreme corpse…”
“Is it… the Supreme Heart formed through ‘sitting’ death?”
“With this, the chances of breaking through to the Supreme Realm will rise tremendously!”
Rain and the others discussed rapidly. Even she—close as she was to Lana—had never been granted details of this level.
The revelation shocked them all.
“The Supreme Heart forms when a Supreme dies while ‘Sitting.’ If obtained, the cultivator gains a high chance of surviving the Supreme Tribulation and becoming a Supreme.”
Roan stroked his beard eagerly. “I prepared spiritual marrow crystals, but I fear they may be insufficient…”
Ethan’s calm voice cut through their excitement.
“Don’t celebrate yet. Only a Supreme who died through true ‘Sitting’ can form a Supreme Heart. If this one didn’t, then there will be no heart.”
Immediately, the crowd sobered.
Zeon nodded. “Brother Ethan is right. The coffin must be opened to know.”
Below the private box, Iris and the young man—Grey—had also revealed looks of genuine surprise.
“A coffin… Could it be a Supreme corpse?”
“If a Supreme died through ‘Sitting,’ then a Supreme Heart is highly likely. With your talent, young master, obtaining one ensures a 100% chance of surviving the Supreme Tribulation and stepping into the Supreme Realm!”
Iris whispered softly beside the young man.
Grey’s eyes gleamed with concealed heat.
“Yes.” Grey nodded, looking very excited.
