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

Xiaoqing nodded as if she understood, and eagerly rushed toward the nearest wisp of golden solar flame emanating from the crack in the meteorite.

It simply opens its small mouth, and a gentle yet innate suction force is naturally generated.

As if summoned, the wisp of golden flame obediently entered its mouth.

As soon as Xiaoqing's body trembled slightly and a blue light flowed across her skin, she began to slowly refine it according to the method.

Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, his divine senses flowing silently across the entire "Abyss of Flowing Fire" like the gentlest breeze.

It even spread deeper into the areas marked "Abandoned Solar Graveyard" and "Ancient Star Annihilation Core".

He didn't really want to cause trouble for the top experts of the Golden Crow Clan; there was no enmity between them, and that would be too undignified.

The main purpose was to check if any of the lone or deserted golden crows had escaped.

After all, the essence of the Golden Crow clan's physical body is highly nourishing and has great nutritional value.

While we're at it, let's also see if there are any high-purity fire-type divine materials like "Sun God Stone" or "Fire Essence Gold" hoarded by the Golden Crow Clan, or old feathers that some powerful beings have naturally shed and still contain some essence blood.

These things have concentrated energy and relatively mild properties, making them suitable for Xiaoqing to absorb slowly. Moreover, taking a few scraps won't really cause the Golden Crow Clan any serious harm.

At least on the surface, that's how it seems.

However, just as his divine sense swept through the deepest part of the "Abyss of Blazing Fire," an absolutely desolate area enveloped by raging solar storms and spatial turbulence, it paused slightly.

"what?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qingshan's eyes.

In that remote core of the land, which even the Great Sage of the Golden Crow Clan would not easily set foot in and which was believed to be formed from the ancient eruption remnants of the Sun Star, he sensed a faint yet exceptionally pure life fluctuation.

The fluctuations were not fiery and flamboyant, but rather restrained and profound, carrying a sense of rebirth and dormancy.

More importantly, the aura of its life essence, though it was being concealed, was of extremely high quality, faintly touching the level of a quasi-emperor at its peak, and even showing a trace of imperial might.

"Hmm, this is interesting..."

Li Qingshan became interested and his divine sense quietly penetrated the layers of storms and turbulent currents, like invisible water seeping into the cracks of rocks, probing towards the source of the fluctuations.

The storm's core was not the scene of utter destruction one might imagine.

Instead, it was an eerily calm void.

In the center of the void, suspended in the air, was a "nest" that was no more than a hundred feet in diameter, but was made entirely of a strange substance that was dark gold, as if it were a combination of glass and divine gold.

The nest is ancient in shape, like an inverted bowl, with intricate sun-shaped patterns naturally imprinted on its surface. At this moment, these patterns are extremely dim, almost blending into the surrounding darkness.

Deep within the lair, a "fire egg," about the size of a human head and displaying a magnificent blend of dark gold and crimson, was rising and falling gently, as if breathing.

The pure and ancient life force I just sensed came from this "fire egg"!

Scattered around the fire egg were some dull, lifeless feather fragments, as if all their essence had been drained, and several pieces of "sunstone" remnants that had turned completely grayish-white.

The entire scene was as if something had undergone a complete rebirth, exhausting all its reserves and now in the most crucial and weakest period of dormancy before its rebirth.

Li Qingshan activated his divine sense and watched with great interest, even clicking his tongue in undisguised delight.

This feeling of living out a second life, a kind of nirvana, did indeed help him to some extent.

"How dare you, you petty scoundrel, spy on the Ancestor's forbidden Nirvana ground?!"

A thunderous roar erupted, filled with shock, rage, and murderous intent.

Outside the nest, in the seemingly empty darkness, a dazzling golden figure suddenly appeared.

This figure was clad in a golden feather robe, with a majestic face. He was surrounded by the true fire of the sun, which could scorch mountains and boil seas. His aura had reached the peak of the Great Sage, and even faintly touched the edge of the Quasi-Emperor!

It was none other than Jin Huang, the contemporary guardian saint of the Golden Crow clan, who was ordered to secretly protect the Nirvana of his ancestor!

The Great Sage Jinhuang originally hid in the shadows, using a secret technique to conceal his aura, and with the help of the environment, he almost merged with the void.

He never expected that someone could silently penetrate the outer storm and directly probe the core of Nirvana.

Is this okay?

The ancestor's nirvana is at its most critical and vulnerable moment, and there is absolutely no room for error!

In a fit of shock and rage, he didn't have time to assess Li Qingshan's strength and unhesitatingly used all the power of the protective barrier.

A "Sun God-Slaying Spear," capable of piercing through the Milky Way and incinerating countless paths, hurtled towards Li Qingshan from afar.

This attack has already triggered the remaining Emperor-level array patterns in this place, and its power has reached the threshold of Quasi-Emperor, determined to annihilate this "audacious" spy!

"Tsk, there's even a doorman."

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly, and facing the golden spear that tore through the starry sky and was so hot that it seemed to melt distant stars, he simply raised his right hand casually.

A seemingly ordinary transparent thread was wrapped around my fingertip without me even noticing.

A small fishhook, shimmering with a chaotic luster, was tied to the end of the silk thread.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the fishhook, disregarding the distance of time and space, gently "dinged" and touched the tip of the infinitely powerful "Sun God-Slaying Spear".

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

The golden spear, which was powerful enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary quasi-emperor, seemed to have met its nemesis the moment it touched the fishhook; its radiance contracted and dissipated rapidly.

Not only that, but an irresistible and mysterious force came from the fishing hook, which traced back along the connection of the attack and instantly enveloped the dumbfounded Golden Emperor!

"What, no!!!"

The Great Sage of Golden Glory only had time to utter a short cry.

The next moment, his majestic and imposing Golden Crow Great Sage form, which was tens of feet tall, rapidly shrank and deformed under the influence of an invisible force.

As the golden light faded, only a small golden crow, its fur dull and its eyes filled with terror, remained, no bigger than a palm, flapping its wings but unable to fly high!

This miniature "Golden Crow" was pulled by an invisible fishing line, and in a flash, it crossed the endless galaxy and landed in Li Qingshan's palm.

It struggled fiercely, emitting a sharp cry.

But not even a spark could be released; his immense magical power was completely sealed.

"Dad, this little bird looks so cute! It would taste amazing roasted!"

Xiaoqing's eyes lit up instantly.

It flew over, circled the miniature golden crow in Li Qingshan's palm, its mouth glistening, and its whiskers trembling excitedly.

The rich and pure essence of the Golden Crow and the source of the sun within this "little Golden Crow" is an absolute top-grade delicious tonic for it!

Li Qingshan squeezed the trembling "Little Golden Crow" in his palm, a half-smile on his face, and said, "You're quite dutiful in your guarding, but unfortunately your eyesight isn't very good!"

"Since they've offered themselves up as ingredients, my daughter wants some, so grilling it isn't a bad idea."

As he spoke, he actually looked her up and down, seemingly considering where to start taking a bite.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment! Show mercy!!"

Just then, an old, weary voice, filled with extreme fear, suddenly came from the Nirvana Nest at the heart of the storm!
