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

Chapter 99: A Fish Net That's 100% Guaranteed to Catch You!

"I don't believe it!"

But Ye Fan also knew that dwelling on this was pointless, and there was a problem that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

"Uncle Li, who exactly are you?"

He stared into Li Qingshan's eyes, his tone serious, "I've inquired, and the Big Dipper Star Region is countless miles away from our Earth. Even a powerful Saint Lord cannot traverse the entire star region."

"How did you get here?"

From seeing Uncle Li's youthful appearance by the riverbank years ago, to discovering the strange airflow around my Bitter Sea, and now seeing Uncle Li fishing at the foot of this Big Dipper Mountain.

All the doubts now converged into this one question.

Li Qingshan looked at him, a helpless smile on his face.

Silly child, didn't your Uncle Li tell you this a long time ago?

I am the Great Emperor.

He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Little Yezi, actually I am—"

"I see!"

Ye Fan suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

Li Qingshan was taken aback and looked over in confusion.

"Uncle Li, you must be a veteran in the fishing community, right?"

He paused, then continued, "Just like that fat Duan De, the rod he's holding isn't just an ordinary fishing rod; it has some strange uses too. However, you're much better than him; your rod can catch much more powerful things!"

Li Qingshan opened his mouth.

He wanted to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.

Ye Fan continued, "And the reason you were able to come to Beidou was because the powerful being on that immortal ship brought you here, right?"

"That being is too powerful; they could even lure away a supreme being from a forbidden zone. Taking someone across a star field wouldn't be a problem for them!"

He spoke with great conviction and clarity.

Li Qingshan looked at him, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

The child's guess wasn't entirely wrong, but his direction was completely off.

"If you say so, then so be it!"

Li Qingshan waved his hand, too lazy to explain any further.

It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, it's that you don't want to latch onto someone powerful!

Seeing his attitude, Ye Fan felt even more certain that he had guessed correctly, and a smug look appeared on his face.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'll also tell Fatty Duan not to gossip."

Li Qingshan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how did you end up with that fat guy?"

Ye Fan then briefly recounted his experiences over the past period.

From being hunted by various forces, to Duan De taking the initiative to approach them, to the two of them joining forces to trick many people, and finally encountering the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, they were then chased here.

Li Qingshan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Well done, Little Yezi, you've even learned how to use entrapment!"

Ye Fan scratched his head, revealing a sly smile that seemed out of place for his age: "I learned it all from Uncle Li!"

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

Duan De approached at some point, his chubby face beaming with smiles.

Li Qingshan looked at him with a deep gaze.

In that instant, it seemed as if endless time and space were flowing in his eyes, and the layers of reincarnation marks within Duan De's body were clearly visible.

One, two, three paths—each one is deeply buried in the origin, bearing the marks of different eras.

Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable, Netherworld Venerable, Netherworld Emperor, Origin Emperor —

Cao Yusheng, the fat man from the Chaotic Ancient Era, was a Celestial Venerable in the Mythological Era, a Underworld Emperor in the Primordial Era, and a Source Emperor in the Desolate Ancient Era, life after life.

Those memories that should have been buried in the past were laid bare before Li Qingshan's eyes.

This fat man is no ordinary cultivator.

He will be reincarnated nine times, each time for a considerable period of time.

But he has clearly found his own path to immortality in the mortal world!

Duan De felt uneasy under that gaze, his smile freezing on his face, as if he had been completely seen through.

"Sen--senpai?"

Li Qingshan withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Ask away!"

Duan De looked around and lowered his voice, "Senior, do you know someone who calls himself the Fishing Emperor? You know, that despicable guy who likes to smother people with black nets."

Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly, but said without changing his expression, "I don't know him."

Duan De was taken aback, then a "I understand, I understand" expression appeared on his face.

"Senior, there's no need to hide it. I understand. That kind of person definitely doesn't want people to know his whereabouts. Since you have a relationship with him, you naturally have to cover for him!"

He leaned closer, lowering his voice even further: "Then let me ask you one more question: Senior, do you not know the beings on that immortal ship either?"

"Um?"

Li Qingshan looked at him, a strange smile appearing on his face.

Duan De's smile deepened: "I understand, I understand, senior is avoiding suspicion. I understand, I understand!"

He patted his chest, looking like he knew what was going on.

Li Qingshan:

'

'

This fat guy's ability to fill in the blanks is comparable to Ye Fan's.

Ye Fan, watching from the side, couldn't help but interject, "Uncle Li, since you're also a member of the fishing community, could you give me a fishing rod? Like Duan De's, the kind that guarantees a 100% catch rate."

He stared at Li Qingshan with expectant eyes.

Upon hearing this, Duan De immediately became anxious: "Kid, you can't steal my business! We're working together perfectly well. If you also grab a rod, who'll be fishing and who'll be smashing the bait?"

Ye Fan glanced at him sideways: "Who says that if I'm holding a rod, I have to cooperate with you? I can fish by myself!"

Duan De was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Qingshan, so he could only stare helplessly.

Li Qingshan looked at the two of them and suddenly revealed a thoughtful expression.

It's true that two people with two poles are likely to go their separate ways.

But it would be even more interesting if one person held the rod and the other the net, working together.

He thought for a moment, then said, "I'm out of fishing rods, this is the only one!"

Disappointment immediately appeared on Ye Fan's face.

"but!"

Li Qingshan changed the subject and said slowly, "There is a fishing net readily available. Although it is not a very powerful tool, it is quite suitable to use in conjunction with his fishing rod."

Ye Fan's eyes lit up immediately.

Duan De was stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy.

"Senior, you mean this kid should hold the net, and I'll hold the rod, and we'll continue working together?"

Li Qingshan nodded and looked at Ye Fan: "Little Ye, what do you think?"

Ye Fan nodded hesitantly.

"OK!"

Li Qingshan stood up, pointed into the distance, and said, "Wait for me on that hilltop over there. I'll go ask the organization for permission!"

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Ye Fan and Duan De exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

After the two had gone some distance, Li Qingshan emerged from another ravine.

Li Qingshan sat down cross-legged, his mind stirring slightly.

To forge a fishing net that is compatible with Duan De's fishing rod, the net would have to be at least a sacred weapon.

Forging a sacred weapon is now a piece of cake for him.

First, he casually took out a few pieces of material from the inner lining of the black robe. They were all scraps he had caught over the years. They were not of high quality, but they had all the necessary attributes.

A single strand of silkworm silk, taken from the depths of a spatial rift in a certain great world, possesses exceptional resilience, making it ideal for weaving netting.

The phantom golden fingernail-sized piece was found in an abandoned secret realm somewhere on the ancient starry road. It can conceal one's aura and blend into the void.

With a few additional materials, that should be enough.

Li Qingshan held out his hands in a cupped gesture, and a soft light appeared in his palms.

The light was not dazzling, but it carried an indescribable and mysterious aura, as if it could encompass everything.

With a flick of his fingers, the materials flew up on their own, melting, intertwining, and recombining in the light.

The Myriad Tribulations Silkworm Silk was stretched into countless threads as thin as hair, each thread imprinted with the stealth attribute of the Phantom Gold.

The threads weaved and intertwined in the void, gradually forming a black net as thin as a cicada's wing.

The whole process took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

As the last thread was pulled together, the black net trembled slightly and floated in Li Qingshan's palm.

The net was small, only about ten feet square when unfolded. Its mesh was fine and its dark light flowed around it. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, countless tiny runes could be seen moving along the net's lines. With each flash, the entire net merged more deeply with the surrounding void.

Li Qingshan held the net, sensed it for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction.

This net has two uses.

The first one, if worn on the user, can merge into the void and conceal all traces of its presence.

According to his estimation, even a user with two major realms of advanced skill wouldn't be able to detect it.

Of course, this item also has a usage limit; its effect is minimal for those above the Saint Realm.

But this function is perfect for the current state of the little leaf.

The second one was something he specially crafted to match Duan De's fishing rod.

The fat man's fishing rod was crafted to be extremely wicked, capable of catching fragments of other people's magical artifacts, supernatural powers, and even extraordinary phenomena with 100% success rate.

But now that the fish are caught, how to retrieve them is another problem.

Ordinary storage bags simply cannot hold the things that have been fished out; some are even still struggling and could easily fly away.

This net can solve this problem.

Once caught in the net, anything that has been fished out will be immediately sealed inside and unable to move.

Even supernatural powers and phenomena can be temporarily collected and used!

If they work well together, the fat man can fish and the little leaf can scoop; their teamwork is simply seamless.

"Alright."

Li Qingshan stood up, preparing to go find Ye Fan, when he suddenly remembered something.

He looked down at his other hand, which was empty.

I was so busy refining the net that I forgot about what happened at the Heavenly Pool.

That thing is still fishing.

With a slight thought, his gaze pierced through the void and landed not far away.

Then, he froze.

Yao Xi was still holding the pole, maintaining the same posture as before.

At this moment, her eyes rolled back, and she slumped against the bluestone, completely unconscious.

Li Qingshan:

I forgot about that.

When he left, he simply tapped the fishing rod lightly, causing it to automatically revive and continue fishing.

But how could Yao Xi, a minor cultivator in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, withstand what was in that pole?

Although he did not deliberately release his pressure, the slight aura emanating from the pole when it revived on its own was like divine might to her.

The fact that she held on until now before falling into a coma shows her strong will.
