The Constellations reacted rather swiftly; just as they sensed the Sun Blaze's confrontation, everyone flew into the air to watch, but now realizing something was amiss, they rapidly descended like dumplings to avoid being caught in the crossfire and being casually slain.

If they were casually slain, there would be no place to reason with.

As Piao Ke descended, Lu Ye had already launched array banners in all directions, driven by spirit force, constructing spirit runes, forming an array in an instant!

Piao Ke, without hesitation, squeezed beside Lu Ye, and as Lu Ye set up the array, he also summoned a protective spirit treasure, casting it over the surroundings, and immediately, a layer of light curtain flowed.

The others were employing various methods to protect themselves.

A blazing aura rapidly swept over from the direction of the previous confrontation, moving so fast that even the ferryboat couldn't compare.

In an instant, a shadow flew over Angling Island, not employing any methods, yet its body emitted a violent aura that permeated the surroundings, compressing the Void. The light curtain structured by Piao Ke's protective spirit treasure and Lu Ye's protective array groaned under tremendous pressure, creaking!

Lu Ye looked up to see who exactly was causing trouble over the All Phenomena Ocean, and even killed a Sun Blaze of this home galaxy!

In a fleeting glance, he vaguely saw an old man with a pale face and wild hair and beard.

The old man swiftly flashed and flew over Angling Island, quickly departing!

Two breaths later, two figures flew past, one after another, clearly Sun Blazes of this home galaxy chasing after him, not knowing if they could catch up.

The entire Angling Island fell silent, everyone was stunned.

After a long time, they slowly came back to their senses. Lu Ye withdrew the big array, and Piao Ke retracted his spirit treasure, both revealing lingering fear.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly and immediately took measures when they realized something was wrong; otherwise, the overwhelming aura from the three Sun Blazes flying overhead could have injured the two of them.

"One against three, and even killed one Sun Blaze, what is this person's origin?" Piao Ke was full of shock, yet amidst the shock, there was some awe.

The situation was evident; over the All Phenomena Ocean, the home galaxy had three Sun Blazes guarding, and the troublemaker killed one, then was pursued by the remaining two.

Being all Sun Blazes, even if their cultivation varied, achieving such results in this environment is extremely challenging.

Lu Ye had no way of knowing the person's origin; matters at the Sun Blaze level were beyond what a Constellation like him could investigate, and he also lacked channels to do so.

However, from what the old man's previous words implied, it was clearly a conflict with the All Phenomena Galaxy. In the stellar space, grudges are avenged, resentments are settled; fighting and killing are all too normal.

What was abnormal was this was a confrontation at the Sun Blaze level, and it happened in the All Phenomena Ocean.

Lu Ye thought this matter would surely stir some turmoil, but to his surprise, after a Sun Blaze from the home galaxy was killed, the All Phenomena Galaxy did not take any outrageous actions, nor did they sense any tracing activity.

The whole All Phenomena Ocean was as it was before.

However, this matter clearly couldn't just end like this; Lu Ye guessed the All Phenomena Galaxy must be exerting strength secretly.

Piao Ke even speculated that the killer had already been eliminated by the All Phenomena Galaxy, hence the lack of movement.

Lu Ye believed this wasn't the case because if the troublemaker were killed, the All Phenomena Galaxy would surely publicize it widely to save face, but since they didn't, it showed the troublemaker was still alive and well.

Ultimately, these matters were too high-level for someone like him, with no foundation and no channels, to understand.

He continued to linger on Angling Island.

No news came from Cao Xiang, and although the All Phenomena Merchants Guild had comprehensive intelligence, it wasn't easy to gather information unless intersecting with a specific galaxy.

Doppelganger angling, while his true self sat meditating on some reef island, alternating between cultivating and deriving spirit patterns.

Over six months, a new protective spirit rune based on the Sacred Guard had taken shape, meeting Lu Ye's needs overall, enough to support Constellation Realm confrontations.

Lu Ye named it the Sacred Guard!

This was the third new spirit rune he derived himself on the Path of Spirit Runes, using the Talent Tree, besides the Void and Divine Sharp Edge.

Next, he planned to derive the As-Close-As-Siblings!

The reason for choosing this spirit rune is naturally due to the array disc. Before reaching Constellation Realm, the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc had played a massive role, whether in the Insect Race secret realm blood battle or the expedition to the Blood Refinement World, the array disc had significantly reduced the losses for the Nine Provinces.

But upon reaching Constellation Realm, the scope for maneuverability expanded, and the effect of the array disc was invisibly weakened, except in ground battles like at Black Abyss, guarding the camp. In Constellation-level confrontations, the existing As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc had become a hindrance.

Currently, the Nine Provinces lack high-end combat power, being entirely at Constellation Early Stage. Even though Lu Ye left behind a few purple talismans and some Jade Talismans, how many crises can they withstand?

Expecting these Constellation Early Stage cultivators to ascend to Moon Jade is unknown how many years it would take.

Therefore, the most significant weakness of the Nine Provinces at present is the lack of the ability to compete with strong individuals! Not to mention confronting Sun Blaze, they need at least the capital to confront Moon Jade.

The As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc is a hope, provided that Lu Ye can derive a larger coverage of the As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Runes to meet the teleportation needs during combat at the Constellation Realm.

Given his current attainments in the Path of Spirit Runes, coupled with several previous successful experiences, Lu Ye felt it wouldn't be difficult, just that it would take some time.

In fact, he already had some insights into this new As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Rune and could make successful derivations within a few months, as he now had ample time to do so.

Two months later, on Angling Island, Lu Ye stood with his rod, furrowing his brows.

Something seemed amiss; ordinarily, while fishing here, no matter what spot he chose, at most half an hour would pass before fish took the bait, but today, several hours had passed with not even a nibble.

The main body swam for a while underwater without seeing any trace of the White Spirit.

Yesterday was not like this; just yesterday, Lu Ye had caught a White Spirit and sold it.

It was as if overnight, the White Spirit vanished without a trace!

What puzzled Lu Ye further was that the anglers started to pack up, shaking their heads in disappointment, and flew away from Angling Island.

Piao Ke was not here, likely flirting with some female cultivator elsewhere.

Lu Ye sent a message to inquire about the situation, and Piao Ke responded shortly after.

"It seems the fishing off-season has arrived."

"What is that?" Lu Ye felt a bad omen.

"In the mundane ocean, fish move with the current, migrating from one spot to another during specific seasons. Although the White Spirit isn't an ordinary fish, it has similar traits and collectively disappears for a period every few years, which is known as the fishing off-season!"

Lu Ye was utterly flabbergasted: "Where have they gone?"

"No one knows. During previous off-seasons, anglers searched everywhere for their tracks but found nothing, leading to the speculation that during the off-season, they head to the deep sea."

"How long until they return?" Lu Ye was counting on them for cultivation, yet the good days suddenly ended?

"It's hard to say; sometimes they return in a few months, sometimes it takes years, even decades. I'm busy now but will chat with you later!"

After ending the communication with Piao Ke, Lu Ye pondered for a long time.

He had thought he could leisurely cultivate, advancing to the Late Stage, then Moon Jade, and then Sun Blaze here in the All Phenomena Ocean...

In the rich resource environment of the All Phenomena Ocean, his special fishing techniques could easily meet his needs.

But as fate would have it, they suddenly entered the so-called fishing off-season.

It wasn't Piao Ke's fault for not telling him beforehand, since the off-season cannot be predicted. Even its duration varies, and before the collective disappearance of the White Spirit, no one knows when it will start; only seasoned anglers can judge by certain signs when it arrives.

Those disappointed anglers packing up and leaving are undoubtedly seasoned anglers, aware that the off-season has arrived, hence not wasting their efforts here.

Not giving up yet, Lu Ye searched underwater, even deepening over a thousand miles, but he saw no White Spirit, not even a Spectral Shadow.

He dared not delve deeper; a thousand miles may be insignificant in stellar space to a Constellation, but it is different in the deep sea.

Especially in the All Phenomena Ocean where the Talent Tree consumes a lot of fuel. Now unable to fish, he could no longer freely amass wealth to purchase fire attribute treasures in the future.

The anglers on Angling Island had all left, even the cultivators from various major powers who stood vigil to buy fish had departed, leaving Lu Ye alone, appearing solitary.

The main body returned, and with the doppelganger withdrawn, he felt utterly confused.

Despite the vastness of the All Phenomena Ocean, Lu Ye didn't know where to go.

A moment later, Lu Ye's expression became determined.

No matter what, the first thing is to make money!

He only had a thousand spirit jade prepared for conventional use, and at his current cultivation speed, it would be exhausted in just over two months. Without sufficient spirit jade, he couldn't meet his cultivation needs.

In other star systems, Lu Ye could delve into stellar space to find spirit jade to replenish his consumption.

But here in the All Phenomena Galaxy, with visitors from all directions and cultivators coming and going throughout, any spirit jade birthed would be quickly discovered, leaving none for him.

Though he couldn't delve into stellar space for spirit jade, in the All Phenomena Ocean, there were several ways to make money. Previously while fishing with Piao Ke, he had imparted many survival strategies, so Lu Ye now had some goals.

Adjusting his mood and fishing gear, Lu Ye took out the star map to locate a place called Zhaolai Island, then set sail on the starboat he purchased for thirty thousand spirit jade, flying in that direction.
