Chapter 598: Loss of Disaster

Speaking up to this point, the ghost cultivator giant pretended not to intend it, yet cast a glance and secretly stared at Sun Lingtong's expression.

Sun Lingtong hadn't yet reacted when Ning Zhuo's thoughts were conveyed through the human life thread.

Sun Lingtong heard Ning Zhuo chuckle lightly: "Old Big, just go ahead and take a look. I can roughly understand this fisherman's habit. You just need to praise him greatly."

Sun Lingtong naturally knew his brother. He had been pondering human hearts since he was two years old. In the struggle of the Lava Immortal Palace, the City Lord's Mansion, and with Zhu Xuanji, he had manipulated everyone. One could see his accomplishments in this area.

Sun Lingtong went along with it.

He stretched his head and saw the strange fish in the fish basket, immediately exclaiming: "Wow! What a big fish!"

The ghost cultivator giant's spirit immediately lifted.

As Sun Lingtong exclaimed, he examined the bone-bearing herring.

He saw that the herring's skin was semi-transparent, allowing one to see its internal organs and fish bones from the outside. The fish bones were hard and deep gray, growing from the fish head and spreading outwards. From inside to outside, they actually formed a piece of armor covering its entire body.

It occasionally jumped in the fish basket. Every time it moved, its internal organs would burst out with bluish-green firelight, and the three inverted thorns at its tail would also stand up, viciously poking everywhere.

Sun Lingtong quickly examined it, his mouth continuing: "Indeed wonderful! This herring's bone armor is rugged, its tail thorns break the waves, its gills open like drums, its eyes are red and contain stars. What a magnificent appearance!"

The ghost cultivator giant struggled to maintain his composure, his tone calm, pretending to be humble: "Actually, to be honest, I was just lucky to catch it."

Sun Lingtong moved his gaze from the fish's body and fixed it on the ghost cultivator giant's face: "Brother, for you to be able to catch this kind of fish in the Forget River, your chosen location must not be simple. Just this kind of eyesight is already comparable to Bo Le selecting horses!"

The corner of the ghost cultivator giant's mouth turned up slightly, then he forced it back down: "You're spot on. To catch a good fish, you just need to look for the accurate fishing spot. There's a difference between deep water and shallow water. How to set a nest in deep water, how to fish in shallow water, it all has its ways."

Sun Lingtong repeatedly nodded: "Although I didn't see the situation when you caught it, I can guess that to catch this kind of strange treasure, you must have extremely high strength, supplemented by wonderful fishing skills, only then can you succeed."

The ghost cultivator giant couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth again and grinned, laughing: "Besides cultivating military strategy as my main focus, my biggest pleasure is fishing. Among the hundred arts of cultivation, I am most skilled in this way, and indeed, I have put in a lot of effort."

"It's truly a pity you weren't there to witness it personally. At that time, I saw the fish hook and immediately swung my rod like a sword. This evil beast actually tried to swing its tail to escape. I then used the 'Inverted Insert Onion' martial art to unload its brute force, and again used the 'Eight Character Ring' method, borrowing the momentum of the water to draw Taiji in a circle. It rushed left and charged right but was finally trapped within a square *zhang*."

"After such a stalemate for half a cup of tea, I finally managed to fish it out."

Sun Lingtong clapped his hands in praise: "Extraordinary, truly extraordinary..."

He was experienced in the marketplace and was eloquent. Under continuous flattery, he flattered the ghost cultivator giant until he was laughing heartily, very pleased.

Sun Lingtong quickly discerned his temperament, which had a tendency to be a good teacher. He immediately asked for advice, saying he also had an interest and wanted to learn his fishing skills, his chosen locations, how he made his fish bait, and how he set his nest.

The ghost cultivator giant suddenly stopped smiling and sized Sun Lingtong up and down: "Brother, do you also cultivate the Forget Emotion technique?"

Sun Lingtong's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but wonder: "How does fishing connect with the Forget Emotion technique? There must be a connection!"

His thoughts raced like lightning, and he hardened his resolve, continuing to express his willingness, saying he indeed wanted to learn this kind of technique and learn fishing skills.

The ghost cultivator giant looked at him intently: "You have already succeeded in building your foundation, and you still want to change techniques? Although it's said that Golden Core has no regrets, changing techniques after establishing your foundation is a very big hassle and very troublesome."

"Are you insisting on changing?"

Sun Lingtong didn't speak, only looked at him with a firm gaze.

The ghost cultivator giant sighed deeply: "You are also trapped by emotion."

"To cultivate the Forget Emotion path is indeed the first choice."

"Our Forget Emotion doesn't mean being without emotion. Remember, you must not go to extremes and cultivate the Absolute Emotion path. That is the path of demons and is no longer human."

Sun Lingtong felt a bit funny hearing this ghost cultivator say what wasn't human.

Ning Zhuo listened and felt helpless and sad.

The ghost cultivator giant began to talk endlessly: "If you change to cultivate the Forget Emotion technique and fish in the Forget River, it can complement your cultivation."

"The emotions and memories that trouble us can all be used as fish bait to fish."

"What kind of emotion and memory we consume can attract what kind of fish hook!"

Sun Lingtong suddenly had an epiphany. Looking at the bone-bearing herring, he thought this ghost cultivator must have an obsession that was difficult to achieve, so he came here to fish as a form of adjustment.

"Forget it, meeting is fate. Techniques are not easily passed on, and are restricted by sect rules. My main cultivation technique is also inconvenient to teach others."

"But fishing skills, I can teach you one or two."

"I have a spare fishing rod, fishing line, and fishing hook here. Take these first."

Having said that, the ghost cultivator giant took out three treasures from his storage belt and gave them to Sun Lingtong.

These three were respectively a long spear rod, a ball of red thread, and a copper coin, all of which were treasure-level.

The ghost cultivator giant tied one end of the red thread to the tip of the spear and the other end to the copper coin, then put it into Sun Lingtong's hand.

"You need to attach your own emotions to the copper coin and throw it out."

"The most basic way to cast the line is overhead casting. If you encounter headwind or many obstacles, then use side casting. Sometimes when fishing in grass holes or under bridge piers, use swing casting. There's also the method of hitting the water to make the fish bait bounce several times, which can attract meat-eating fish."

"And now, by the Forget River, the river surface is wide, so only overhead casting is good."

"I will pass on to you the overhead casting fishing skill called 'Green Edge Breaking Waves'. This fishing skill has a sharp qi and can pierce the river surface to the deep parts of the river."

The ghost cultivator giant continued and spoke the oral formula.

Sun Lingtong's comprehension was astonishing. After only one listen, he understood it perfectly and asked several questions, all hitting the core.

The ghost cultivator giant answered them one by one. Sun Lingtong then impatiently moved his hand.

His first attempt was very good.

The fishing line drew a long arc like an arch bridge in the high air, then with a sword-like sound, it directly pierced the thick river surface like molten metal, piercing all the way down to the deep parts of the river.

The ghost cultivator giant looked at Sun Lingtong in surprise: "Brother, it seems you are very suitable for fishing."

Just as he was speaking, a wave of yin wind rolled over, causing the river surface to faintly show signs of rising waves.

Seeing this scene, the ghost cultivator giant's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Be careful, the river waves are about to rise."

"Although we have the riverbank as protection and won't be swept away by the river waves, our memories will still suffer."

"Every time it hits, it will roll away our recent memories, so be careful!"

Sun Lingtong was greatly shocked: "What?"

It was already too late.

The next moment, the river waves surged forward, hitting the black stone riverbank and creating surging waves.

The splashing waves poured all over Sun Lingtong's face. Sun Lingtong's heart tightened: "What did I forget? What did I forget?!"

When the Forget River water fell on a living being's body, it immediately evaporated into gas and disappeared without a trace.

"Eh?" Sun Lingtong discovered that a treasure seal was revealed from his soul.

The Empty Empty as Also Seal!

The power of the Forget River water was illuminated by this seal mark, and immediately dissipated without a trace.

"I... seem to have forgotten nothing?"

"Wait!"

"If I really forgot something, how could I possibly know?"

"Little Zhuo, Little Zhuo!"

Sun Lingtong, unable to make a decision when faced with a problem, immediately asked Ning Zhuo.

With the human life thread connecting them, the communication between their divine consciousness was extremely convenient.

Ning Zhuo had originally been paying attention the whole time and quickly checked with Sun Lingtong, confirming that the latter had not lost any memories.

"Is it the Empty Empty as Also Seal?"

"Just a seal mark can provide such protection. It truly is a supreme treasure of a super large sect!"

Ning Zhuo sighed endlessly.

Sun Lingtong guessed: "Perhaps, it is also because we accidentally absorbed the bone marrow of the Void Evil God in Thousand Peaks Forest, which caused a change in my Empty Empty as Also Seal mark."

In any case, he was safe.

Ning Zhuo reminded him in time: "The Forget River water indeed has this effect, Old Big, be careful, don't expose yourself, perhaps this mysterious ghost cultivator is trying to trick you?"

"Hmm!" Sun Lingtong nodded secretly, then turned his head and stared at the giant ghost cultivator.

The ghost cultivator wiped his face, wiping away the water stains.

It was very strange. Normally, when the Forget River water falls on a living being's body, it quickly evaporates, but on him, it was like normal river water.

Sun Lingtong's heart stirred slightly, secretly guessing: "Is it because he cultivates the Forget Emotion technique?"

The ghost cultivator also saw Sun Lingtong and showed a vigilant look: "Who are you?"

Sun Lingtong smiled slightly: "Brother, we just met, but it feels like we've known each other for a long time, and we had a great chat."

"You even taught me fishing skills, for example, the fishing skill 'Green Edge Breaking Waves'..."

Saying that, Sun Lingtong quickly explained the content of that fishing skill.

The ghost cultivator giant laughed heartily and lowered his guard: "Correct, that is my self-created 'Green Edge Breaking Waves'. Except for me, no one else knows it."

"Look, you are truly my good friend."

"Hmm... I think I'm lonely, fishing alone is too boring, I want to develop you into a fishing friend."

"I haven't told you, is fishing by this Forget River dangerous?"

Sun Lingtong then nodded: "You will forget previous memories."

Ghost cultivator giant: "I forgot, but Brother you haven't forgotten. You indeed have something to rely on, only then do you dare to come to the Forget River."

Sun Lingtong's heart tightened, and he probed: "Brother, you often fish here. With your strength, isn't it difficult to get one or two treasures to resist the power of the Forget River water?"

"You just said you gave me three treasures, assembled into fishing tools!"

Saying that, Sun Lingtong raised the fishing rod in his hand.

The ghost cultivator giant slapped his forehead: "Haha, I said the long spear in your hand looked so familiar. I even gave you all of these, which shows we indeed met like old friends!"

"It's nothing." He boldly waved his hand. "I am Luo Si, the first great general under the Forget River husband. This long spear weapon, I can get another one when I go back. The copper coin and red thread were also given to me by others."

"As for me coming here, it is just to fish while using the river water to forget memories and emotions, which helps my cultivation. I just come to drink this river water!"

Sun Lingtong learned the identity of the ghost cultivator giant for the first time and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

He didn't expect his first exploration of the underworld to lead to accidentally meeting a high-level figure of the Forget River underworld!

He immediately cupped his hands: "Lord Luo Si, I am Sun Tong, who has just arrived at your esteemed land. I heard that your esteemed mansion is about to have a big action?"

Luo Si nodded: "You were led here by the black snow, right? Recently, there have indeed been many ghosts running in from outside."

"When you say big action, do you mean the Mansion Master personally controlling this sacrifice, or the city siege war that I am responsible for?"

Sun Lingtong immediately followed up: "It seems your esteemed mansion is attacking a celestial city in the Yang World, yet it has always been unsuccessful in its long attack?"

Luo Si: "We are indeed attacking, but don't listen to others' nonsense. We just started fighting. What long attack and not down? At least it has to take two or three years to not be taken down to be considered a long attack and not down."

"After all, the target is a dignified celestial city! And it's in the Yang World, so many of my mansion's strengths and means cannot be fully displayed."

Sun Lingtong laughed: "Yang World..."

Luo Si looked at him deeply: "Brother, if you want to wander around in the Yang World, the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland is indeed a good place."

"In previous years, that nether dragon had a profound foundation, possessed upper-grade talent, and was outstanding. It self-created the 'Yin Yang Turn Wheel Secret', wanting to go against heaven, shedding yin to yang. It almost succeeded during its tribulation, but missed that line and suffered a miserable heavenly punishment."

"After its death, its divine ability transformed into a domain, making yin and yang connect, and it hard-bornly created a piece of treasure land."

"That we can meet by the Forget River is fate."

"Since that is the case, I can recruit you into the army. Although you won't have any military position, holding my command token will mean you are not constrained by the army and can act freely."

These words made Sun and Ning hesitate.

Ning Zhuo secretly reminded: "Be careful, Old Big."

Sun Lingtong simply stated directly: "Brother, although I am just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, you are a dignified Nascent Soul level existence. Meeting for the first time, why are you giving me treasures again and providing me with such great convenience?"

If the other side claimed it was because they met like old friends, that would be too fake.

After all, they had just suffered from the river's surge and lost their recent memories.

Luo Si laughed heartily: "I'm not afraid to tell you either. I was trapped and killed by my family enemy, and I couldn't even enter the ancestral temple. I became a lonely wild ghost, extremely unwilling, and vowed to seek revenge."

"But falling into the underworld, the desire for revenge was too strong, almost turning me into a strange monster!"

"I was also lucky. In my confusion, I met the gray-boned old man. With his help, I was able to resolve the danger; otherwise, my divine sense would have almost completely dissipated."

"I naturally wanted to repay him. He told me that saving me also had a purpose, calculating that I would be useful to him in the future."

"I then promised him immediately that I would help him in the future."

"He then told me that I still needed to go through three life tribulations, and only after the three tribulations would I have the qualification to help him."

"My main cultivation technique also uses the Forget River water to cultivate, and it was all taught by him."

"I have received a lot of help from him and want to repay him. Alas, the time is too long, and the period is far away. So, I cultivate fishing skills here and offer all the fish I catch to him, the old man."

"A few days ago, he sent me a letter telling me that I would have my first tribulation and also told me how to resolve the tribulation."

Speaking of this, Luo Si paused slightly, recalling the content of the letter————Luo Si, if you want to kill your way back to the Yang World for revenge, meeting this person is especially crucial to your true life in the bright lord! If you establish a good relationship and submit to him, it will definitely be of extremely great benefit to your future!
