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

Chapter 91: Contacting Fang Han to Obtain the Fragment of the World Tree!

"It's the Supreme Emperor!"

A veteran tycoon recognized the owner of the large hand, his voice filled with extreme fear.

Taihuangtian, the true foundation of the Taiyi Sect, is home to the Supreme Elder, who is said to have already reached the ninth level of immortality and is about to enter the tenth level—an existence of infinite terror.

He had not been born for countless years, and everyone thought he had long since gone into seclusion or ascended to heaven.

Unexpectedly, he still exists and has been lurking deep within the Taiyi Sect!

The giant hand continued to descend, getting closer and closer to the ship on the other shore.

However, just as the giant hand was about to touch the boat on the other side.

Strange things happened.

That giant hand actually passed right through the boat!

It was like passing through a void projection, without touching anything.

"What?"

From the depths of the void came an unbelievable voice.

The husband's hand grabbed again, this time faster and with greater force.

But the result remained the same.

They still managed to get through.

The ship was clearly there, visible but intangible, as if it existed in another dimension, having no connection with this world.

The owner of the large hand refused to believe it and grabbed it a third time.

This time, the void around the giant hand was torn open with countless dark cracks, and the power was strong enough to destroy a great world.

The immortal ship remained motionless, its surface shimmering with dark golden light, seemingly oblivious to the existence of such a powerful force!

The large hand grasped nothing; its five fingers closed, holding only emptiness.

"Very well, since you have form but no substance, then I will use my supreme immortal techniques to drag you out of the void!"

From the depths of the void, the voice finally carried a hint of anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, the five fingers of the large hand suddenly opened, and a huge portal phantom appeared in the palm.

The portal was entirely of a chaotic color, with countless ancient runes engraved on its frame. Each rune was glowing, flowing, and chanting some kind of incantation that transcended eternity.

The portal opened wide, and an indescribable suction force surged out from it, as if it wanted to swallow up everything in the myriad realms.

However, the suction force, when it landed on the boat on the other side, was like a gentle breeze, not even disturbing the transparent flames surrounding the boat.

"impossible!"

From the depths of the void, the voice rippled for the first time, filled with unbelievable astonishment.

With his cultivation level, even beings of the same level would have to give way when he unleashed such supreme immortal techniques.

But this boat didn't move an inch?

It seems to be in response to its repeated attacks, or perhaps it was because it was being repeatedly grabbed by the hand, which caused it to feel a sense of annoyance.

The light on the boat on the other shore flickered.

And then it just vanished into thin air!

It didn't escape, it didn't hide, it simply vanished from everyone's perception.

"Hmph, celestial artifacts possess spirits and choose their own masters. If the fate is not right, it cannot be forced!"

Deep within the void, the voice murmured to itself, carrying a hint of undisguised regret.

The large hand slowly withdrew, preparing to leave.

However, at that moment...

A clear, cold voice rang out.

"Taihuangtian, now that you're here, why the rush to leave?"

Linglong Immortal Venerable had appeared in the direction where the giant hand had retreated, her body surging with aspiration power, her eyes like two of the most brilliant stars, staring intently into the depths of the void.

She formed hand seals, and incantations flowed from her mouth, transforming into two long ropes that stretched into the depths of the void.

"When I attain eternal life, all heretics will not enter the world. All sentient beings will not be corrupted by heretics—"

The magnificent voice rang out again, even more solemn and sacred than before.

The two ropes seemed to transcend endless time and space, ignoring all obstacles, and caught up directly with the retreating giant hand.

Boom!

A void suddenly collapsed.

The terrifying hand was revealed as it was bound by ropes, struggling violently to break free.

But the rope tightened more and more, and finally it snapped shut.

The giant hand disintegrated instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Within that blood mist, countless laws were wailing, phantoms of stars being born and dying were flickering, and scenes of the world collapsing were unfolding.

A moment later, all the blood mist condensed into a single drop of bright red blood, which flew out from the void and gently landed in the palm of the exquisite immortal.

All the fluctuations vanished without a trace at that moment.

The void was healed, the chaos was calmed, and the world around Mount Sumeru returned to clarity.

Those ancient giants collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, looking at the Linglong Immortal Venerable as if she were a true god.

The void remained silent for a long time.

Finally, the aged voice rang out again, this time with a complex mix of emotions.

"My dear Linglong, you have finally surpassed me."

His voice betrayed no emotion, only a calm that came from having seen through the ways of the world.

Linglong Immortal Venerable remained expressionless and said calmly, "I surpassed you three thousand years ago. There is no master-disciple relationship between us in Taihuangtian, and none of my Dao techniques are your inheritance."

"Sooner or later, I will suppress you just like I killed Tai Yutian. Don't give me any chance!"

She paused, her voice growing even colder.

"I'm just collecting interest by cutting your hand today. Next time, it won't be so simple!"

From the depths of the void, no more sound came.

Everyone knows that Taihuangtian has retired.

She was forced to retreat by the exquisite immortal.

The gazes of countless cultivators toward the Linglong Immortal Venerable have shifted from awe to worship, and even fanaticism.

However, the Immortal Venerable Linglong showed no sign of pride.

She simply stood there quietly, holding the drop of blood from the Supreme Emperor in her right hand, while her left hand moved slightly as if she were calculating something.

A moment later, she frowned slightly.

Even with her abilities, she couldn't deduce the slightest trace of that celestial ship that appeared and disappeared so suddenly.

It was as if it had never existed.

Or perhaps, it exists in a dimension she cannot reach.

"interesting."

She muttered something to herself, then turned and walked deeper into the Blessed Land.

The drop of blood from the Supreme Emperor spun gently in her palm before she finally put it away.

All that remained were a group of stunned cultivators and the five Taiyi Sect leaders who fled in disarray.

Inside the Ark on the Other Shore.

The Azure Emperor's avatar withdrew its senses and remained silent for a moment.

"The owner of that large hand is very strong."

He spoke slowly, his voice calm.

"If my true self were here, perhaps I could fight him. But this is merely an avatar of my Emperor's will; I fear it wouldn't last more than ten moves!"

Li Qingshan's voice came through the fishing hook, carrying a hint of casualness: "This person is already infinitely close to the tenth level of Longevity, equivalent to a true Great Emperor taking action, so naturally his power is extraordinary!"

"However, you need not worry. As long as the Ark of the Other Shore can truly descend upon the Eternal Plane, with its trace of immortality and my support, it will be comparable to an ancient giant at the tenth level of longevity making a move!"

"As long as we don't provoke those truly ancient monsters who live in seclusion in the lower realms, we'll be safe!"

The Azure Emperor's avatar nodded without refuting.

"Why didn't you leave immediately when that giant hand reached out to grab me?"

He suddenly asked.

Li Qingshan smiled.

"Leave? Why leave?"

His tone carried a certain air of self-righteousness.

"There are so many people here, each one wealthy and incredibly powerful. Even if you're going to make a deal, you should choose people from here."

"Otherwise, I'd go through all this trouble to bring you here, only to find some random Tom, Dick, or Harry to trade with. Wouldn't that be a waste of my time?"

The Azure Emperor's avatar remained silent.

That sounds like it makes some sense.

But something still feels off.

Outside, on Mount Sumeru.

The birthday celebrations continued.

The voices of the female disciples of Linglong Blessed Land resounded throughout the heavens and earth as treasures were presented, their names called, and their records made.

Although those ancient giants were still shaken, they had all returned to normal on the surface.

After all, they are all ancient monsters who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and their temperaments have long been tempered to be as hard as a rock.

"Master Linggu presents the mid-grade Dao artifact, the Xuanbing Sword!"

"Returning to the Immortal Island, we offer a ten-thousand-year-old coral and a million elixirs!"

"The Starry Sky Immortal Sect presents a scroll of the Heavenly Star Chart!"

The chants of rites rose and fell, and the names of those precious treasures echoed between heaven and earth, converging into a vast power of vows that surged toward the exquisite immortal.

This is the custom for birthday gifts.

The more treasures offered, the stronger the power of the wish that the Linglong Immortal Venerable receives, and the deeper his cultivation becomes.

Therefore, on each major birthday, all the major powers would try their best to present the most precious treasures in exchange for the favor of the Linglong Immortal Venerable.

Finally, all the birthday gifts were presented.

The Celestial Venerable Linglong sat atop the highest throne, her body surging with the power of her vows, her eyes looking down upon the myriad beings below.

"Today is my birthday, and as is customary, a competition should be held to allow the young talents of the immortal and demonic paths to compete."

She spoke, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"The victor will obtain my three supreme divine powers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted below.

The three supreme divine abilities of the Linglong Immortal Venerable are legendary.

If one can acquire even one of these, one can dominate a region and become a regional tycoon.

"I'm willing to play!"

"I would like to!"

Count me in!

Countless young cultivators rushed towards the arena, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Li Qingshan and the Azure Emperor's avatar only glanced at the following arena matches before paying no further attention.

Although those young cultivators were quite talented, in their eyes they were ultimately just juniors.

Only the boy named Fang Han caught their attention a few more times.

"This person is quite interesting."

The Azure Emperor's avatar slowly spoke.

He could sense an extremely special aura within the boy, unlike any power he knew.

That aura was ancient and vast, as if it came from another dimension, completely out of place in this world.

"It's the World Tree!"

Li Qingshan's voice drifted over.

"This world possesses a supreme treasure called the World Tree, the first divine tree formed at the beginning of time, connecting the immortal realm and the mortal realm. Later, it was severed and scattered across the land. That young man possesses a fragment of the World Tree within him!"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Azure Emperor's avatar.

The World Tree?

A divine tree that connects the celestial realm and the mortal realm?

Such a treasure is truly unheard of.

"If I could obtain that fragment, it would be of great benefit to my evolution of the Immortal Realm."

He spoke slowly.

"Moreover, this World Tree can also be used to comprehend the mysteries of world evolution and the operation of heaven and earth, and even to glimpse the causal connection between the immortal realm and the human realm, which has also improved my own Dao of Divine Particles!"

Li Qingshan pondered.

"That person is a problem, though. He carries too much karma, and too many people are watching him. Getting involved with him will inevitably require some effort!"

He paused, then looked at the figure again.

"But for the sake of the World Tree, a brief contact wouldn't hurt."

The arena competition ended quickly.

Fang Han overcame all obstacles and finally defeated all his opponents, obtaining the three supreme divine abilities of the Linglong Immortal Venerable.

Even more astonishingly, he actually broke through the Wind and Fire Tribulation during the competition and stepped into the eighth level of supernatural powers!

In that instant, wind and fire descended from the heavens, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and countless people paled.

It's unheard of for a mere cultivator at the seventh level of the Divine Power realm to actually undergo tribulation and break through on the arena.

"This child is extraordinary!"

A whisper from an ancient giant.

"Given time, he will surely achieve great things!"

But a cold glint flashed in some people's eyes.

Fang Han's offering of the Taiyi Sect's golden pill has completely offended the Taiyi Sect.

The Heavenly Pursuit Order issued by the Taiyi Sect is still in effect. Whoever can kill him will receive a mid-grade Dao artifact, immortal pills, and billions of pills.

This reward is enough to tempt anyone.
