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

This was Hong Yi's carefully considered choice.

This demonstrates "sincerity" by offering a sufficient amount of "goods," hoping to receive at least an equivalent return in return.

The three Dao Seeds, each flowing with a dark gold, jade white, and hazy luster respectively, slowly flew towards the hovering starlight bait under his control.

When the Dao Seed touched the stable, distorted area surrounding the Starlight Bait, it did not pass through like an ordinary object, nor did it cause any violent fluctuations.

That area only rippled slightly, like waves on water.

Immediately, the three Dao Seeds silently disappeared into it.

Hong Yi's eyes narrowed as he focused intently on sensing the surroundings.

He clearly sensed that the connection between himself and the Dao Seed had not been severed immediately, but rather that he had entered an extremely distant, profound, and completely unfamiliar "other side" along with the Dao Seed.

There seemed to be a calm yet vast will at that "other end," like an endless starry sea, gently "sweeping" over the three Dao Seeds.

There was no greed, no excitement, and not even any obvious emotional fluctuation.

It's like someone casually picking up three pebbles, weighing them, and judging their material and weight.

Immediately, the will seemed to approve of the quality of the "pebbles".

Then the feedback from the transaction came.

However, the expected energy essence did not appear.

Hong Yi only felt that something extremely "heavy" and extremely "empty" had quietly landed in his perception, following that invisible connection, traversing endless time and space.

It is not a concrete dewdrop or a ball of light, but more like a seed of "concept", a rubbing of "authority".

When Hong Yi's consciousness instinctively and cautiously touched it,

hum!

There was no brilliance, no loud noise.

But Hong Yi's entire soul, and even his years of hard-earned cultivation of the Dao of Change, trembled violently and involuntarily at this moment.

An indescribable sense of "completeness," a supreme rhythm of "order," resounded directly deep within his Dao heart like a silent, resounding bell!

This feeling is not so much shock as it is more like a "display" or a "contrast".

It's as if someone who has always viewed the world through frosted glass suddenly has all barriers removed, revealing the world's original, clear, complete, and orderly true face.

The principles of the I Ching, which he relied on to deduce the secrets of heaven and understand all things, revealed a hint of "roughness" and "imperfection" in the face of this "completeness" and "order," which were born from the limitations of the laws of this world.

What stirred Hong Yi's heart even more was that, deep within the imprint of this "complete authority," he sensed a meaning of "without beginning or end."

It exists quietly, as if it has been so since the distant past and will continue into the endless future, unbound by the "monistic number" and without the end of cyclical recurrence.

For Hong Yi, who was in the Yangshen World and knew that 129,600 years was a cycle of reincarnation and that even a powerful Yangshen could not escape this limit, the meaning it represented was enough to make him lose his composure!

the other side!

A clear thought struck him like lightning.

Only in the realm of "the other shore," which transcends the fundamental constraints of the world, can the imprint of one's Dao fruit authority possess this "complete" quality of "without beginning or end"!

The being behind the light bait casually exchanged his three Buddhist scriptures and Taoist seeds for a copy of what appeared to be the "Other Shore Dao Fruit" authority?!

absurd!

incredible!

But the undeniable sense of "completeness" and "transcendence" that directly affected his Dao heart and cognition forced him to believe.

After the initial shock came an even stronger surge of vigilance and doubt.

What exactly does the other party want to do?

What purpose and cause are hidden behind this "generous gift"?

Hong Yi's consciousness, like a startled tentacle, quickly withdrew from the "Imprint of Authority." His cultivation of Yi Dao spontaneously activated, and the suppressing true meaning of the "Present Tathagata Sutra" permeated his heart, forcibly suppressing the shock and tremor.

His expression was solemn, his gaze sharp as he repeatedly examined himself to confirm that no external will or cause had taken the opportunity to attach itself.

No.

That "imprint of authority" floated quietly in his perception, pure and transcendent, like an "answer" without any stance, or a "treasure entrance" without any traps.

However, it was precisely this excessive "purity" and "gravity" that made Hong Yi hesitate to take the next step.

He stood silently in place, the mountain wind ruffling his green robe. After a long while, he cautiously used his own power of Yi Dao to wrap and seal it layer by layer, isolating it from all active probing and integration.

"Let's seal it off for now and reconsider our strategy!"

Hong Yi whispered, deeply concealing this "Guide to the Other Shore" whose value could not be measured, and his figure slowly faded away, leaving the mountain peak.

The stark contrast between that calm and vast will's nonchalant "weighing" of a pebble and this "return gift" so heavy it could crush eternity had left an indelible mark on his heart.

......

At the foot of Mount Tai, by the stream.

Li Qingshan slowly opened his eyes, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, three illusory "Dao Seeds" that flowed with dark gold, jade white, and hazy luster respectively appeared in his palm.

"Past, Present, Future... the Three Buddhist Scriptures of the Yangshen World!"

He sensed the profound meaning and unique laws imprinted within the Dao Seed, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"The item is quite good. The concepts of 'immortality,' 'suppression of the present,' and 'calculation of the future' it contains are very unique, and its laws form a complete system..."

"Unfortunately, it's not the original version of the Book of Changes compiled by Hong Yi, which I'm most interested in."

Hong Yi's caution and probing were crystal clear to him.

The other party presented a substantial amount of "goods," but kept the most crucial element—the Book of Changes, which embodies the essence of destiny—hidden very carefully.

This is understandable.

"However, even if I were to intervene and forcibly exchange for something more valuable, according to the rules of this 'Fishing Through the Heavens,' I couldn't simply take it away!"

Li Qingshan weighed the three Dao Seeds in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

This fishing system has its own rules, emphasizing "exchange" rather than force.

He can use "bait" to "fish," and the other party must voluntarily "exchange" something for the transaction to be completed.

If he wanted to forcibly use a fishing hook to "hook" Hong Yi himself or his core inheritance directly, the rules would not allow it at all, and the fishing line would not even be able to reach him.

That's why he used the complete Heavenly Heart Mark as an exchange.

The Heavenly Heart Mark was the recognition he received from the entire universe when he underwent tribulation to become a Great Emperor.

Although he had removed it, it was still of extraordinary value.

Li Qingshan's attempt to exchange this item for three Buddhist scriptures that were not fundamental was a complete loss.

But there was no sign of heartache on his face; instead, he seemed rather casual.

When it comes to fishing, sometimes you have to invest some money.

That Heavenly Heart Mark is both bait and a long-term investment.

For Hong Yi, the allure of this "complete Heavenly Heart Mark" was almost irresistible.

That is the ticket to the supreme authority of another complete world, the beacon that transcends the fundamental shackles of the "One Cycle" of the Yang God world.

As long as he begins to attempt to refine and comprehend it, he will inevitably experience a profound fusion with the Great Dao Laws of Li Qingshan contained within it.

The deeper this integration, the more tightly the causal relationship between Hong Yi's Dao and Li Qingshan becomes.
