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

In the palm of his hand, a red agate, about the size of a fist, with a crystal-clear appearance like the finest agate, lay quietly inside, as if a heart with crimson light flowed within it.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

It was even pulsating autonomously, slowly and powerfully, each beat radiating a blood-red ripple that was almost visible to the naked eye, a mixture of vast life essence and pure demonic power.

It was the very thing that had just caused the two ancient families and many powerful demons to fight desperately for it, even shattering the crystal coffin—the Heart of the Demon Emperor!

Li Qingshan blinked, a look of surprise on his face saying "This is acceptable."

He quietly fished here for a few months, while also solidifying the second fishing ground in the heavens.

How did this thing just fly over by itself?

And it even fell precisely into his hand?

He cradled the warm, beating heart, sensing it carefully.

"Tsk tsk, this is interesting..."

His divine sense seeped into it like mercury, and he could clearly perceive that although this heart contained a vast amount of life essence and extremely high demonic power, it did not have the supreme pressure of a true emperor who could transcend all paths and rule the universe.

It is more like a top-grade sacred object that has been carefully "polished", retaining the purest origin and a trace of spirituality.

"Is it the Emperor's Heart, formed from the Chaos Azure Lotus, the Azure Emperor's true form?"

He stroked his chin, recalling the information he knew.

"Legend has it that when the Azure Emperor was evolving his Immortal Realm within the Desolate Tower, he needed a stable energy source and a solid foundation for his evolution, while also severing some of his causal entanglements with the outside world. So he painstakingly ripped out his own natal Emperor Heart, using it as a 'backup power source' and 'anchor point'?"

"In order to completely sever the cause and effect and facilitate Nirvana and evolution, he even actively stripped away and erased the imperial laws and most of the imprints on his imperial heart, retaining only the purest life essence and a trace of instinctive spirituality, and 'nurtured' it into this state again..."

If this is indeed the case, then the Azure Emperor is quite ruthless to himself.

However, the effect was indeed good; this heart was now somewhere between an imperial artifact and a sacred artifact.

Although it lost its imperial power, it severed its causal ties, becoming purer and "cleaner," like a newly conceived innate divine embryo, with even greater potential.

It is an invaluable material for alchemy, weapon crafting, or as the core of certain special techniques.

Of course, for someone at his level, he's just a...

Hmm, a decent quality "collectible".

Just as he was weighing the heart, wondering whether to keep it as a souvenir or give it back to Ye Fan,

hum! !

Inside the Heaven-Severing Rod, the beacon that sank into the core of the Demon Emperor's tomb a few months ago to solidify the Second Heaven Fishing Ground suddenly emitted an extremely clear and stable resonance!

At the same time, a stream of information naturally emerged:

[The second stable interdimensional beacon—the Immortal Dimension—is now fully stable!]

[The exclusive fishing channel for immortals is now officially open!]

[Current Fishing Site Characteristics: Influenced by the laws and aura of the Eternal World, the catch may reveal unique divine power seeds, magical artifacts, or cultivation resources found in the Eternal World. The specifics are influenced by the spatial and temporal context of the fishing site and the nature of the "bait" used by the angler.]

Become!

Li Qingshan's eyes lit up; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Immediately, a thought stirred within him, and he separated a wisp of his divine sense to sink along the completely stable marker, preparing to preview the initial state of this new fishing spot and see what "specialties" it had.

However, when his divine sense followed the Dao marker into the deepest part of the Demon Emperor's tomb, into the core area shrouded in layers of imperial runes and chaotic energy, he had not yet had time to sense the fishing ground environment.

I unexpectedly touched something.

It was an extremely hidden passage, almost integrated with the entire tomb itself, where endless death energy was transformed into life force and protected by a Yin-Yang Tai Chi formation!

At the end of the passage, the atmosphere became even more obscure and ancient, with the faint outline of a tower rising and falling, exuding a vast and ancient Daoist aura that suppressed all ages, as if it were nurturing something.

"This is……"

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"The Yang Tomb lies outside, stirring up storms; the Yin Tomb lies within, where the true body lies dormant. Using the desolate tower to suppress himself, he reverses life and death, evolving into the Immortal Realm—what a magnificent Azure Emperor!"

He only vaguely remembered that the Qingdi Tomb was said to have two tombs, one for Yin and one for Yang, but he didn't know the specific details.

After all, he came here mainly to solidify the fishing grounds, and had no intention of actually digging up the grave of a great emperor.

Unexpectedly, the marker he used to fix the fishing spot, due to its special nature, inadvertently "hooked" into the causal connection between the Yin Tomb and the outside world during the process of becoming completely stable. Following the array patterns of the Yang Tomb, he found the entrance to the Yin Tomb!

"Alright, I accidentally caught the Azure Emperor. Now I can't pretend I didn't see him!"

Li Qingshan was both amused and exasperated.

He originally planned to leave once the fishing grounds were solidified, to continue his grand fishing career across the heavens.

Now look what's happened; the fishhook has gotten caught on someone else's "back door."

"Since we're already here..."

He muttered to himself, pondering whether to follow the connection and take a look, or simply cut off the connection and pretend he knew nothing.

Just then, a series of sharp, piercing sounds and roars came from the distant sky.

"There it is!"

"The Demon Emperor's heart lies by that pool!"

"Surround him, don't let him get away!"

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Dozens of divine rainbows and several broken ancient war chariots rushed in from all directions, instantly surrounding the small pool area.

The newcomers were none other than some of the Yao Guang Holy Land and Ji family cultivators who had just fought for the Demon Emperor's Heart, along with several panting, resentful great demons.

They had just chased after the green light that Pang Bo had transformed into and the blood rainbow that the Demon Emperor's heart had transformed into, but the blood rainbow was too fast and they quickly lost track of it.

The green light that Pang Bo transformed into also mysteriously disappeared into an ancient forest midway through the journey.

Just as everyone was feeling frustrated, someone suddenly sensed a faint trace of energy left over from the earlier eruption of the blood rainbow, which was pointing towards this inconspicuous pool of water on the outskirts of the ruins.

So everyone immediately turned back and, sure enough, saw this scene!

A seemingly ordinary young man dressed in black was standing by the pool.

What else could it be but the Demon Emperor's Heart that they were fighting tooth and nail for?

"Boy, hand over the Demon Emperor's Heart, and I'll spare your life!"

A middle-aged cultivator from the Yao Guang Holy Land stepped forward from the crowd, his tone chilling.

His body was brimming with divine power, clearly indicating that he was a master of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"This is a sacred artifact of my demon emperor; how dare a human lay a finger on it! Return it immediately!"

A powerful demon with a single horn on its forehead roared, its demonic aura surging.

Although an old man from the Ji family standing on the ancient war chariot did not speak, his eyes were cold, and the murderous aura emanating from the chariot was already subtly locked onto Li Qingshan.

The three groups surrounded the pool in a triangular formation. Although they were wary of each other, their primary target was clearly the heart in Li Qingshan's hands.

The air instantly tensed, filled with a murderous aura.
