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

The edge of the universe.

This is a secluded, desolate, and little-known place.

Even the concept of "void" is almost blurred here; it is a desert of laws and a graveyard of order.

In theory, even the Great Emperor would find it extremely difficult to set foot in this place unless he deliberately sought it out.

However, at this very moment, an extremely terrifying scene is unfolding in this desolate region.

Rumble!!!

The endless sea of ​​lightning boiled!

That was no ordinary lightning, but a world-destroying ocean woven from the most primordial chaotic thunder, the light of world destruction, the yin and yang energies, the five elements of heavenly punishment...

Each bolt of lightning was as thick as a galaxy, and when it struck, it was enough to turn an entire star field into ashes.

At this moment, the sea of ​​lightning, powerful enough to destroy a great world, was merely a backdrop.

In the center of the sea of ​​lightning, a figure stood on the waves, unmoved by the myriad lightning tribulations that struck him.

He was dressed in black, not particularly tall, and his face looked rather ordinary. He appeared to be around twenty years old, with a gentle demeanor that came from years of quiet contemplation and a hint of languor.

It was Li Qingshan.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

There was no dazzling light, no booming sound, just the most simple and unadorned straight punch.

Wherever the fist struck, the destructive lightning pillar that was surging down in front of him, formed by the condensation of the two extreme forces of Yin and Yang, shattered like glass hitting divine iron, turning into a rain of light that filled the sky.

He then opened his mouth and inhaled it all, swallowing it whole and refining it instantly to temper his body.

"The eighth tribulation... This tribulation of the Great Perfection Holy Body is really powerful."

Li Qingshan smacked his lips, feeling the increasingly condensed crimson holy blood within his body, as well as the immense power that faintly resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Not easy.

Looking back over these past few centuries, it has truly been a time of bitter tears, thorns everywhere, and countless hardships.

He was not originally from this world.

In my past life, I was just an ordinary office worker whose greatest hobby was to go fishing in a wild pond on weekends and enjoy the tranquility of being alone.

Who knew that when he woke up, he would become an orphan in a small town in the Northern Region of the world of "Covering the Sky," an orphan who had lost both his parents and was frail and sickly.

The game starts at hellish difficulty.

Fortunately, there's always a way out; or rather, the benefits for time travelers, though delayed, have finally arrived.

Just when he thought he was going to starve to death on the street, or be killed by the aftershocks of a battle between some passing monks, he "awakened".

It's not some invincible cultivation technique, nor is it an old man.

It's actually a... fishing system.

The system's functions are simple and straightforward: by using objects containing "luck" or "cause" to "fish" at specific locations, there is a chance to catch treasures, inheritances, or even cultivation feedback from the "pond".

At that time, the most "lucky" thing he owned was probably a broken piece of jade pendant passed down from his ancestors, which was said to ward off evil spirits.

With a "nothing to lose" mentality, Li Qingshan followed the system's guidance and came to the river called "Hanjiang" outside the town. He used a seemingly ordinary bamboo fishing rod and line, attached the half of the jade pendant, and cast his first line since transmigrating.

To outsiders, he was just a down-on-his-luck young man staring blankly at the river.

But only Li Qingshan could see that the moment the fishhook entered the water, it did not sink into the cold river, but fell into a misty "pool" that only he could perceive, a pool that seemed to contain endless time and space.

The wait wasn't long.

The fishing line suddenly sank!

He lifted the bamboo pole and felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Pulling back forcefully, there was no fish on the hook, only a fist-sized ball of hot blood, as brilliant as gold and as heavy as celestial gold, exuding the most powerful and yang aura!

The moment the blood appeared, it transformed into a golden light and entered his brow.

The next second, excruciating pain from the modification struck him, and he almost fainted on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain subsided, and Li Qingshan found himself transformed. His blood had a faint golden hue, his strength had increased dramatically, and his five senses were more than ten times sharper.

The system notification sounded at the opportune moment: [First fishing attempt, triggering a newbie luck boost!]

Having fished up the "Primordial Sacred Body Essence Blood (Flawless)," one gains the Primordial Sacred Body physique and the corresponding flawless cultivation method, the "Ancient Sacred Body Scripture."

Ancient Sacred Body!

Li Qingshan's mind went blank for a moment.

This start seems a bit too strong?

However, the joy was quickly overshadowed by reality.

While the Sacred Body is indeed powerful, known as invincible among its peers, and even capable of challenging the Great Emperor at its peak, it also consumes a massive amount of resources. Especially in this era of great changes in the world, the cultivation of the Sacred Body is extremely difficult and is regarded as a "useless body".

More importantly, possessing a treasure is a crime.

If it were discovered that he possessed the innate Holy Body, he would probably be captured and dissected for research in the next second.

We must survive! We absolutely must survive!

Thus began Li Qingshan's life as a "fisherman" who lived a life of quiet deception.

He used the low-level resources he initially caught to make money, built a simple thatched hut by the cold river, and completely transformed himself into an eccentric who loved nothing but fishing and was indifferent to the world.

In secret, they would use any objects they could find that carried a faint trace of luck or karmic connection.

Antique coins, broken magical artifacts, and even items representing good karma earned by helping people solve minor troubles are used as "bait" to cast out that magical fishing rod time and time again.

The harvest... is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Sometimes, the fishing hook goes empty, a complete waste of the "bait" you've worked so hard to find.

Sometimes, however, you can catch a surprising treasure.

He had fished up fragments of stars, from which he refined pure stellar essence to temper his physique.

He fished up a bronze block stained with the blood of some unknown emperor and from it comprehended a complete and terrifying sword technique called "The Grass Character Sword Manual".

He fished out the divine source sealed within the Immortal Tears Green Gold Remnant Lock. After cutting it open, he found a complete Azure Dragon Immortal Divine Medicine. Its fragrance almost attracted a terrifying being from tens of thousands of miles away, which frightened him so much that he quickly used the temporary barrier provided by the system to seal off all the energy.

Thanks to these gifts from the "heavens", his Ancient Sacred Body cultivation level rose steadily, quietly breaking through one barrier after another, but he always cautiously suppressed his aura and never revealed his true strength in front of outsiders.

His activities gradually expanded from the banks of the cold river to the remote mountains, then to the abandoned post stations on the ancient starry road, and finally he simply hid in this desolate wilderness where even ghosts don't come.

Through centuries of wind, frost, rain, and snow, he stood alone, accompanied by solitude and walking alongside danger.

All the joy, thrills, lingering fears, and even the long, tedious experience have transformed into the supremely powerful body that is about to reach perfection within this sea of ​​thunder.

"The final tribulation of lightning!"

Li Qingshan gathered his thoughts and turned his gaze to the deepest part of the thunder sea.

There, chaotic energy surged, and nine blurry yet terrifying figures were slowly coalescing, radiating an imperial might that would make even the stars in the heavens tremble!

Nine Emperors' Marks!

The ultimate test of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body Tribulation is to simulate the Dao and Dharma of the nine great emperors in their youth and carry out the ultimate attack.

Li Qingshan took a deep breath, showing no fear whatsoever; instead, his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.

Centuries of fishing and accumulation have been waiting for this moment.
