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

The dark gold and crimson fire egg trembled violently, completely awakening the previously dormant Nirvana consciousness.

When the old Golden Crow sensed that the Great Sage had been captured and was about to be roasted as food, it could no longer remain silent!

Jin Huang was one of his most loyal Dharma protectors and descendants, who knew the secret of his Nirvana, making his protection here of great significance.

More importantly, the methods the opponent used to capture Jin Huang, and that unfathomable aura that even made his Nirvana Emperor Heart tremble...

Your Majesty!

Even if this person is not a Great Emperor, he is at least an unconventional Daoist!

Otherwise, how could one so easily manipulate a Golden Crow Great Sage who had just reached the threshold of Quasi-Emperor, turning him into a mere object in one's palm?

Old Jinwu was filled with turbulent emotions.

The place of his own Nirvana was so secluded that it attracted such a person.

Is the other party friend or foe?

"The Emperor cannot be insulted!"

The thought flashed through his mind quickly.

"senior!"

Old Golden Crow quickly adjusted his address, his tone pleading, "My junior's protector was ignorant and offended you, senior, deserving of death. However, his heart is sincere in protecting you, so please consider his ignorance and spare his life. I am willing to take the punishment in his place and offer an apology!"

He adopted an extremely humble posture.

Faced with a being who is suspected to be the emperor of the world, even this quasi-emperor level being must bow his head.

Hearing this, Xiaoqing became unhappy and bounced on Li Qingshan's shoulder: "No, no, Dad, I want to eat this!"

Li Qingshan patted Xiao Qing's head reassuringly, looked at the trembling mini golden crow in his palm, glanced at the direction of the storm's core, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that Li Qingshan seemed to be pondering, Old Golden Crow felt a pang of anxiety and quickly spoke again.

This time, his tone was even more urgent: "Your Majesty's authority is like a prison; those who violate it should be severely punished. I dare not presume to ask for complete forgiveness..."

"How about... how about just taking its wings? The wings of the Golden Crow Great Sage contain most of his solar essence and Dao principles. Roasting them would be delicious and serve as a small punishment to appease the anger of the senior and the Dragon Girl."

"As for the rest, spare their lives and observe their future actions, is that acceptable?"

In order to save his trusted protector's life, the old Golden Crow went to great lengths and offered a compromise: "only roast the wings."

The Golden Crow Great Sage's wings are indeed his most essential possession; losing them would severely damage his vital energy and cause his cultivation level to drop.

But it's better than being completely roasted; we can always find a way to make up for it later.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan smiled.

This old golden crow is quite adaptable and knows a lot about "ingredients".

He never intended to actually roast the entire Golden Crow Great Sage; there was no enmity between them, and the other party was merely fulfilling their duty of protection.

However, if the "ingredients" are delivered to your door, you might as well use them.

"Since this fellow Daoist who has attained Nirvana is pleading for leniency..."

Li Qingshan weighed the miniature golden crow in his hand, and under Jin Huang's desperate yet hopeful gaze, he said indifferently, "Fine, for the sake of your master, I'll take your wings as a small punishment to teach you a lesson."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed from his fingertips.

"Chirp!"

A short, painful cry.

The pair of wings on both sides of the miniature golden crow, which still shimmered with golden light even when shrunken, were severed at the root and separated from its body.

The cut was filled with shimmering light, but there was no blood. Instead, the blood was quickly sealed off, but Jin Huang's aura also instantly weakened to the extreme.

Its eyes were glazed over, and it could only tremble in Li Qingshan's palm.

The detached wings quickly returned to their normal size, gleaming golden, with flame-like patterns flowing across their feathers, emitting an alluring fragrance and abundant solar energy.

"Here, I'll put it here for you!"

Li Qingshan sealed the aura of the pair of golden crow wings, put them into a jade box, shrunk them, and handed them to the eager Xiao Qing.

This thing contains too much energy; Xiaoqing can't handle it.

It's just to satisfy my collecting craving!

Xiaoqing immediately cheered, took the jade box, and carefully put it away.

Li Qingshan casually tossed the wingless miniature golden crow toward the heart of the storm.

A gentle force enveloped it and carried it back to the vicinity of the nest.

The old golden crow quickly used a sliver of its power to catch it.

Only then did he feel a little relieved, at least the life of his clansman was saved.

......

After dealing with this minor incident, Li Qingshan turned his gaze back to the fire eggs deep within the nest, his tone returning to its usual calm:

"Alright, the security guard's situation is settled. Now, we can talk!"

Old Golden Crow felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the real topic was about to be discussed.

The other party was clearly not there specifically to roast golden crow wings.

"My daughter thinks there are some pretty good food items related to your Nirvana Egg!"

Li Qingshan pointed to Xiao Qing on his shoulder, who was staring longingly at the fire egg, and said directly.

These words were so blunt that even the old golden crow inside the fire egg froze for a moment.

"But don't worry, we won't steal from you."

Li Qingshan changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat casual, "Judging from your Nirvana, it seems you've reached a crucial point, but your stamina is a bit lacking. Have you exhausted all your reserves?"

"If you keep pushing yourself like this, be careful that the new embryo doesn't develop properly, and that your future foundation will be flawed."

He immediately saw the old Golden Crow's current predicament.

The second Nirvana requires a massive amount of resources, especially for someone like him who failed to become an emperor and then underwent a secret Nirvana to rebuild his cultivation; his needs are even more terrifying.

Clearly, he didn't have enough resources prepared in advance, or something unexpected happened, leading to a current shortage of supplies and the risk of the new product failing.

The consciousness within the fire egg vibrated, clearly indicating that its sore spot had been hit.

This is almost his biggest secret and dilemma!

"Senior...what can I do for you?"

Old Jinwu's voice lowered, carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation and a deeper sense of vigilance.

The other party could see through his true intentions at a glance, perhaps...

"I wouldn't call it giving advice."

Li Qingshan rummaged through the inner lining of his all-black robe and pulled out something.

It was a fist-sized crystal, its entire body as red as blood marrow, with what appeared to be a liquid sun flowing inside, radiating a pure and gentle aura of supreme yang.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding raging sun fire spirits seemed to quiet down and become much more docile.

【Red Sun Blood Marrow】!

It was something he caught while fishing in his early years. It came from a great realm where the laws of fire were active. It was a sacred object condensed from the essence of the sun. It was a great tonic for fire-type creatures, and its energy was gentle and easy to absorb.

He still has a few of these in stock; taking one out is nothing.

"Is this enough?"

Li Qingshan shook the Crimson Sun Blood Marrow in his hand.

The little dragon's eyes widened instantly, its head following the crystal's rotation, drool practically dripping from its mouth: "Wow, Dad, this is good stuff too~~~"

The fire egg at the heart of the storm emitted an uncontrollable fluctuation, a yearning stemming from the primal instinct of life.

This thing was to him at that moment no less than a spring in the desert or a fire in the snow!

"What do you wish to do with this, fellow Daoist?"

Old Golden Crow suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice.

There is no free lunch in the world.

"Let's make a deal."

Li Qingshan put it simply.

"I see that the materials of your Nirvana Nest are quite special, seemingly a fusion of the essence of some kind of 'Void Flame Gold' and 'Solar Glaze'. Although the essence of those few shed Golden Crow True Feathers on the side has been lost a little, the original Dao patterns are still there."

"I'll trade this piece of Crimson Sun Blood Essence for a three-foot square piece of material from the edge of your lair, plus two True Feathers. A fair trade, how about it?"

He was referring to the dark golden substance that formed the nest, and the largest and most intact golden feathers scattered nearby.

These things are far less valuable to the old Golden Crow, who is undergoing rebirth and desperately needs pure energy, than the Crimson Sun Blood Marrow.

But for Li Qingshan, these materials, which were tainted with some of the original Dao patterns of the old Golden Crow, were quite valuable, whether they were used to make some gadgets for Xiaoqing or as high-grade "bait".

Especially since this old Golden Crow was originally the future emperor of this world in this time and space, his fortune and karmic connections are of extraordinary value.
