Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

Chapter 117 An Invitation from Three Beings at the Tenth Level of Immortality! The Power of the World!

In the depths of endless time and space, the boat on the other shore floats silently.

Eighty-one illusory star images slowly rotated around the ship's hull, while transparent flames swirled and wandered, illuminating a separate space-time in the eternal darkness.

The Azure Emperor's avatar sat cross-legged in the center of the boat, his body surrounded by flowing azure light. His azure eyes pierced through layers of void, gazing in a distant direction.

His brows furrowed slightly.

In that battle just now, he intended to completely suppress the Three Saints of Feathered Ascension and destroy the Feathered Ascension Sect.

Although the three saints of the Feathered Gate are strong, if he were to use his full power while piloting the Other Shore Ship, the three worlds would completely collapse in at most half an hour.

But at that moment, a thought descended without warning.

He was very familiar with that thought.

She is the Exquisite Immortal Venerable.

Previously in the Blessed Land of Exquisite Beauty, that unfathomable female cultivator had made a move and fought against the eternal giant of the Taiyi Sect.

Then, he projected his supreme magical power and exchanged a glance with Fellow Daoist Li across endless space and time.

After that one glance, although the two sides never crossed paths again, that aura had been deeply imprinted in the perception of the Azure Emperor's avatar.

At this moment, this thought reappeared, but it brought a result that startled him.

That thought did not only contain the image of the Linglong Immortal Venerable.

There are two more auras.

Those two auras were extremely well hidden. If the Linglong Immortal Venerable hadn't deliberately exposed himself, the Azure Emperor's avatar wouldn't have been able to detect their existence at all.

But the moment they truly revealed themselves, the Azure Emperor's avatar felt the entire void tremble.

That is an existence on the same level as the Linglong Immortal Venerable.

Tenfold Immortality!

After the battle with the Three Ascended Saints, the Azure Emperor's incarnation had a clear understanding of his own strength in piloting the Other Shore Ark.

If he only uses the power of the Immortal Ship itself, he is infinitely close to the tenth level of immortality.

If one were to utilize the power of their dormant self and integrate the Emperor's Laws into the Immortal Ship, fully activating them, they could truly step into that level and directly confront an existence at the tenth level of Longevity.

Moreover, the boat to the other shore has the ability to cross to the other shore, giving him enough confidence to retreat unscathed under any circumstances.

Therefore, he was not afraid of a celestial being of exceptional talent.

But three?

The Azure Emperor's avatar remained silent.

The two auras were revealed for an extremely short time, so short that if he hadn't been completely focused, he would have almost thought it was an illusion.

But in that instant, he clearly sensed two gazes falling upon him.

That gaze was different from that of the Exquisite Immortal Venerable.

Linglong Immortal Venerable's gaze was cold and profound, carrying an indescribable complexity.

Those two gazes were even more direct and domineering, as if they wanted to see through him and the entire Other Shore Ship, to see into its very essence!

The Azure Emperor's incarnation felt a slight chill.

This feeling reminded him of something.

When he attained enlightenment and became an emperor, similar gazes were cast upon him from the depths of the forbidden zone of life.

Those supreme beings who have been dormant for countless ages examine, evaluate, and weigh the self-awareness of their descendants in this way, just as they would examine an object, a weapon, or a fruit that can be harvested.

But those two gazes were even more terrifying than those of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

No matter how domineering the gaze of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone may be, it ultimately carries a hint of decay and weakness, a trace of self-inflicted weakness.

In those two gazes, he sensed no weakness, only a vast, unfathomable sense of completeness and composure.

That's someone who truly stands at the pinnacle!

The Azure Emperor suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his face remaining calm as still water.

He knew that at this moment, any slight abnormality could be noticed by those three beings.

Just then, the thoughts of the Immortal Venerable Linglong came again.

This time, the thought no longer contained the previous scrutiny and probing; instead, it carried a sense of goodwill.

It seemed that it was because the Immortal Venerable Linglong turned around and said something to the two beings behind her that she dispelled their idea.

The Azure Emperor's avatar frowned slightly as he carefully sensed the information contained within that thought.

A moment later, the seriousness in his eyes deepened.

The Immortal Venerable Linglong invited him to meet.

Moreover, she revealed that the two people traveling with her also wanted to see him!

As for the purpose of the meeting, the thought did not elaborate, only vaguely mentioning that it was related to a certain matter.

That matter seemed to involve a wide range of people and was of great importance. Even someone of Linglong Immortal Venerable's status had to treat it with caution and even had to invite two beings of the same level to accompany her.

The Azure Emperor, in his avatar, pondered for a long time.

He knew that this matter was of great importance and that it was no longer a decision he could make alone.

The strength of those two beings far exceeded his expectations, and the attitude of the Linglong Immortal Venerable was also quite subtle.

Whatever they want to talk about, it needs to be decided by that Fellow Daoist Li himself.

Moreover, this transaction yielded another important gain—a fragment of half a World Tree that Fang Han used in the transaction.

Although the fragment was only half, it contained supreme mysteries that connected the immortal realm and the human realm.

If Fellow Daoist Li can thoroughly study it, it will be of great benefit to him, whether it is to perfect his own path or to let his own body evolve the Immortal Realm.

The Azure Emperor's avatar withdrew his thoughts and focused his gaze on something floating in front of him.

It was a palace shrunk to about a foot tall, its entire body a chaotic color, with thirty-three floors, each one exquisitely crafted, with soaring eaves and dragon-carved pillars. Countless points of light could be faintly seen flowing inside, which were the treasures and elixirs sealed within.

Ascending to the Heavenly Palace.

The top-grade Dao artifact that he had casually seized was now quietly floating in his palm, emitting a soft light.

The Azure Emperor, in his avatar, raised his hand and pointed, sending a wisp of azure light into the Heavenly Palace.

His divine sense probed into it, carefully sensing the internal structure of the artifact.

A moment later, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"So this is what a top-grade Dao artifact is—"

He muttered to himself softly, his tone tinged with curiosity.

Unlike the ultimate imperial weapons in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the crafting philosophy of this Feathered Heaven Palace is completely opposite.

The ultimate imperial weapon pursues the condensation of the ultimate Dao principles, imprinting the Dao and laws of the Great Emperor's life into the weapon, giving it the supreme power to suppress all heavens.

But this Heavenly Palace of Ascension pursues the "world" itself.

Thirty-three floors, each a separate world.

These worlds vary in size; some are only a few miles in circumference, while others are as vast as a small world.

They are layered, interconnected, yet independent of each other, together forming a vast and complex palace system.

Each layer of the world contains a different treasure.

Some worlds are filled with elixirs, some display jade slips containing cultivation techniques, some have all sorts of magical artifacts floating in the air, and some even seal living beings within them.

In the deepest part of the Heavenly Palace of Ascension, there is an incomparably vast spatial cavern that nurtures eight hundred million celestial demons and countless beings from thirty kingdoms.

These beings do not need to work like ordinary people. The Feathered Gate not only teaches and preaches, but also provides them with endless food and countless luxuries.

All they had to do was pray incessantly and worship day and night, which generated a vast power of collective will, which coalesced into a boundless spirit that continuously refined this supreme Dao artifact.

And what sustains all of this is the so-called "power of the world".

This is a power system completely different from the Heaven-Covering Technique.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, cultivators cultivate in secret realms, eventually attaining the Dao and becoming emperors, thus controlling the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the order of laws.

In this world of immortality, once a cultivator reaches the seventh level of the Longevity Realm, the Realm King Realm, they will condense their own inner world and use the power of that world to drive their supernatural abilities and suppress their enemies.

This Feathered Heavenly Palace integrates the power of thirty-three worlds into one, manifesting itself in the form of a supreme-grade Dao artifact.

"The Power of the World —"

The Azure Emperor's avatar murmured to himself, his azure eyes gleaming.

He suddenly remembered what his original body was doing: evolving a celestial realm within the desolate tower.

He had always been using the concept of the Heaven-Covering Technique to deduce the future, attempting to build a small world that could support immortality, based on the laws of the Emperor's Way and with the suppressive power of the Desolate Tower as its framework.

But the Heavenly Palace before him offered him a completely new perspective.

If we take the power of the world as our foundation, the thirty-three layers of space as our framework, and then integrate the Great Dao Laws of the Heaven-Covering Technique—

The Azure Emperor closed his eyes, immersing himself in the process, and began to carefully deduce the truth.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in them.

He said softly, "Although this thing is different from the Heaven-Covering Technique, the way its internal world is constructed and the method of layering spatial levels are very beneficial to my body's evolution into the Immortal Realm."

"If one can decipher its mysteries, it can save at least tens of thousands of years of arduous effort!"

He put the Heavenly Palace into his sleeve and looked up again into the depths of the void.

At this moment, the thought from the Celestial Venerable Linglong was still waiting for a response.

The Azure Emperor, in his avatar, no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of azure light flew out from between his brows, disappeared into the depths of the void, and followed the causal line of the fishing hook that was always connected to the ship on the other shore, and was transmitted towards the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Cover the world.

Beidou.

Li Qingshan sat cross-legged on the bed, his aura contained, his eyes slightly closed, his mind immersed in a mysterious state of deduction.

Several days have passed since we helped Yao Xi transform her physique.

The woman is now paralyzed on the bed in the east wing, unable to move easily.

Fortunately, she still possessed cultivation and could take care of herself, but her resentful gaze always made Li Qingshan feel quite embarrassed.

He could only try to observe the changes in Yao Xi's body less, and focus more on the Chaos Tree in his own sea of ​​suffering.

In the middle of the sea of ​​suffering, golden waves surged and lightning intertwined.

Beside the Fountain of Life, three divine herbs each occupy a separate spot, exhaling different kinds of vital energy.

The Starry Fairy Fruit Tree is entirely silvery-white, with a canopy like an umbrella. Each leaf shimmers with a faint starlight, casting down a cool, clear starlight.

The Azure Dragon Immortal Elixir is shaped like a coiled dragon, its entire body a vibrant green, with its mouth slightly open, facing the direction of the Life Spring, drawing life essence from the spring water.

The Chaos Sapling in the center is now a little taller than when it was first planted.

The trunk remains slender, but the naturally formed patterns on the bark are becoming increasingly clear, dense, and crisscrossing, each pattern containing an indescribable Daoist charm.

Nine tender leaves sprouted from the tree crown. The leaves were a chaotic color with faint golden edges. As they swayed gently, wisps of chaotic essence emanated from the tips of the leaves and merged into the sea of ​​bitterness.

Li Qingshan gazed quietly at the sapling, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

After a period of research, he finally figured it out.

This Chaos Tree was nurtured by Hong Yi's Other Shore Origin.

That origin contains Hong Yi's lifelong pursuit of "everyone becoming a dragon," the will of all living beings, the wisdom of the I Ching, and the will honed through countless cycles of reincarnation.

These elements combined to shape the sapling into a perfect container from the very beginning.

It can bear the wishes of all beings, it can bear the laws of the Great Dao, and it can bear everything that can be borne.

The chaotic essence it exhales is the purest and most fundamental energy, without any bias or attribute.

In other words, the sapling itself is perfect.

The problem lies with Yao Xi.

She cultivates the Heaven-Covering Technique, following the path of using her body as a seed, merging the five great secret realms into one, and attaining the Dao to become an emperor.

The bloodline within her was also a product of this world.

The Chaos Essence originates from the Yang God Plane. Although its essence is extremely high, it is ultimately different from the system of the Covering Heaven Technique.

When the two merge, the chaotic essence will naturally strengthen Yao Xi's most proficient area according to the instincts of her physical body.

The divine meridians within her body were already biased towards her physical body, so this strengthening naturally caused an imbalance.

Having figured this out, Li Qingshan had a plan in mind.

There are essentially two ways to solve this problem.

Firstly, send Yao Xi to the Yangshen Plane so that she can switch to cultivating the techniques of the Yangshen World.

There was a complete cultivation system there, and a great path leading directly to the other shore, which perfectly matched the original essence within her body that had already been transformed by the chaotic essence.

Secondly, seize the vast amount of essence from the world of Shrouding the Heavens, especially the essence containing the origin of heaven and earth and the laws of the Great Dao, and pour it into the Chaos Tree, allowing it to absorb, digest, and transform it. The resulting Chaos essence will then bear the mark of the Shrouding the Heavens Law.

Then, by helping Yao Xi transform again, the transformation will be completed naturally, and she will become a true Chaos Body.

Li Qingshan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Now, this Chaos Tree is perfect enough. It has absorbed Hong Yi's other shore origin and carries the wish of all living beings that "everyone can be a dragon". Its essence is pure and flawless, and it can evolve all things and carry all things.

If we were to use the essence of the supreme being to nourish it, allowing it to absorb the chaotic causes and effects and the imprint of the eternal will, it would be superfluous.

The Chaos Tree needs pure chaotic essence to evolve and grow on its own.

The essence of those supreme beings contains too many impurities. Forcibly injecting it would only pollute its origin and destroy its natural purity.

"If only there were another kind of spiritual root~~"

As Li Qingshan was thinking, his brows suddenly twitched slightly.

Deep within his brow, the thread of cause and effect that constantly connects him to the boat on the other shore trembled slightly.

A streak of azure light traveled back along the connection and entered his brow.

The voice of the Azure Emperor's avatar resounded in his mind, recounting the events that had occurred in the Eternal Realm.

Fang Han traded half a fragment of the World Tree for a second chance to make a move.

Immediately afterwards, the Ship of the Other Shore descended upon the Heavenly Punishment Platform of the Feathered Gate, trapped Feng Baiyu, suppressed the Three Saints of Feathered Ascension, and seized the Feathered Heavenly Palace.

Fang Han took this opportunity to severely injure Hua Tiandu and obtain the Great Wilderness Ancient Furnace.

After the battle, the will of the Immortal Venerable Linglong descended, bringing a message: she and two other beings of the same level wished to see the master of the Other Shore Ark.

The Azure Emperor's avatar sensed that the strength of those two beings was no less than that of the Linglong Immortal Venerable; both were terrifying figures at the tenth level of the Longevity Realm.

This matter is of great importance, and he dared not act on his own initiative, so he came to report it.

After listening to the account of the Azure Emperor's incarnation, a smile flashed in Li Qingshan's eyes.
