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

Chapter 72 The Battle of Immortal Flames: Where is the Other Shore?

Ye Fan chuckled and bowed to Zixia again, saying, "Thank you very much, Fairy."

Zixia looked at him, her gaze lingering on him for a moment, as if sensing something.

"There is something strange about your body."

She said directly, "Those two strange phenomena were unlike anything I've ever seen before. Especially the one about the blue lotus growing in the sea of ​​suffering, which seems to have some connection to the legendary demon emperor. You'll have a lot of trouble ahead of you, so be careful!"

Ye Fan nodded, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

He knew all too well that from this day forward, his name would likely be known throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Zixia didn't say anything more, and took out a jade talisman from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Fan.

"This talisman contains a wisp of my divine power. If you face a life-or-death crisis, you can crush it. Although it cannot guarantee your safety, it can buy you a moment and give you a glimmer of hope."

Ye Fan accepted the jade talisman and carefully put it away.

Zixia looked at Li Qingchen again: "Qingchen, now that you've seen your old friend, it's time for you to go back."

Li Qingchen pouted, somewhat reluctant to part.

But he still nodded, walked up to Ye Fan, and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Brother Ye, here are some little trinkets I've collected. Master said they're useful for cultivation. Take them, so you won't get bullied!"

Ye Fan took the cloth bag, which felt heavy in his hand. When he opened it, he found more than a dozen crystal-clear source stones inside, all of excellent quality.

"this----"

"Keep it."

Zixia spoke up, "Qingchen is cultivating in the Holy Land, so he has no shortage of these resources. You are just beginning your cultivation journey, and this is precisely the time when you need them."

Ye Fan remained silent for a moment, then put the cloth bag away and smiled at Li Qingchen: "Thank you, Sister Qingchen."

"You're welcome!"

Li Qingchen smiled happily, "Brother Ye, you must cultivate diligently and become powerful soon, then I'll come find you to play again!"

"it is good."

Ye Fan nodded.

Zixia said no more. With a flick of her sleeve, a purple light swept up Li Qingchen, and the two figures soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the clouds.

The valley returned to silence.

Ye Fan stood there, looking at the jade talisman in his hand and the cloth bag in his arms, feeling a mix of emotions.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, packed his things away, checked the direction, and started walking out of the valley.

Ye Fan's premonition was correct.

Trouble came sooner than he had imagined.

Less than half a day after leaving the valley, he encountered his first wave of pursuers.

The group that arrived was a group of independent cultivators, about seven or eight people, the highest of whom was in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. They were obviously there because of the reputation of the "Sacred Body Aspect" and wanted to get some benefits from him.

Without saying a word, Ye Fan turned and ran.

His cultivation at the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm was simply no match for the Four Extremes Secret Realm; a direct confrontation would only lead to his death.

Fortunately, he had been running around in the wild with Li Qingshan since he was a child and was very familiar with the terrain. He used the terrain to dodge left and right and finally shook off the group of people.

But this is just the beginning.

In the days that followed, Ye Fan was like prey being chased by a pack of wolves, fleeing and fighting his way through the night.

The disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land arrived, and he fled.

When the young powerhouse from the Ji family arrived, he fled.

Upon hearing the news, waves of rogue cultivators and disciples from small sects arrived, relentlessly attacking and eliminating them.

Ye Fan's sea of ​​suffering was drained time and time again, but he recovered time and time again thanks to the nourishment of those source stones and the strange energy flow in his body.

His combat experience was growing at an astonishing rate, and his control over his own strength was becoming more and more refined. He had even begun to master the strange footwork that the old madman had once used.

The Secret of the Character "行"!

But this did not change his predicament of being chased to the point of having nowhere to run or escape.

Half a month later, Ye Fan, covered in blood and dressed in rags, stumbled into a crimson world.

Fire Domain.

The seven or eight cultivators chasing after Ye Fan stopped at the edge of the fire domain, looking at the staggering figure disappearing into the distance, their faces showing hesitation.

"He went inside, should we go after him?"

"Why chase him? The outer area of ​​the Fire Domain is okay, but going in is suicide. That kid won't live long!"

'

"That's right, let's stay here and see how long he can hold out."

The group dispersed and stood guard at the edge of the fire zone.

Ye Fan ignored the commotion behind him.

He rushed into the depths of the fire domain in one breath, and only stopped when the color of the surrounding flames changed from crimson to pale gold, and then to blazing white.

The blazing white flames danced around him, their temperature terrifyingly high, yet strangely, they didn't burn him.

Ye Fan collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, every part of his body aching.

He looked down at himself and gave a wry smile.

If Uncle Li saw him like this, he would definitely laugh at him.

Thinking of Uncle Li, Ye Fan suddenly felt a little more at ease.

What is that person who always fishes by the river and occasionally teases him doing right now?

Are you still working as a security guard at the foot of Mount Tai?

Or did they go fishing somewhere else again?

Ye Fan shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He struggled to his feet, preparing to continue walking in to find a safer place to heal his wounds.

Just then, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the distant horizon.

The tenth level of the Fire Domain.

Li Qingshan sat cross-legged here, his black clothes fluttering in the transparent flames, yet there was not a single scorch mark.

Behind him, three fishhooks floated silently, being nurtured by the celestial fire.

The one on the left is a deep purple color; it is the God-Slaying Hook, forged primarily from the Broken Army Spear.

The hook's body swirls with purple and gold, subtly exuding a murderous aura; its sharpness is concealed yet it is awe-inspiring.

The one in the middle is light gold, cast from Dao Tribulation Gold.

The hook's surface is naturally covered with thunder patterns. Upon closer inspection, these patterns appear to be slowly moving, as if they are sealing away a sea of ​​thunder that will never dissipate.

This hook embodies the true meaning of "suppression" that he extracted from the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force. It is specifically designed to counter the soul and laws, and he named it Suppressing Immortal.

The one on the right is azure blue, cast from eternal blue gold.

The hook is as transparent as the deep sea, with faint shadowy images of swirling stars and rivers inside.

This hook embodies the true meaning of "attack" and "reincarnation" that he extracted from the Grass Character Sword Technique and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist. Once the hook hits a target, it can trigger the power of reincarnation to obliterate its existence.

He named it Reincarnation.

Three fishhooks, three colors, three kinds of Taoist charm.

Although they are made of different materials, they all carry his own Dao, far surpassing ordinary supreme artifacts.

But in the past few months, Li Qingshan's biggest concern has not been these three fishhooks.

A tiny boat, no bigger than the palm of his hand, floated in front of him.

The Ship of Creation.

Over the past few months, after he had forged three fishhooks, he took the opportunity to begin refining this object.

He melted in all the leftover scraps of immortal gold from the fishhook making process, such as Purple Extreme Immortal Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, and Eternal Blue Gold.

It also incorporates a lot of the divine ingredients and rare materials accumulated over the years.

The small boat is now completely different from when it first arrived.

The ship's hull is no longer the same single dark gold color, but presents a colorful and chaotic hue.

Purple, gold, and blue patterns of celestial gold are interwoven on it, and occasionally you can see specks of starlight flowing inside the hull.

The entire hull is seamless, without any trace of splicing, as if it was born this way.

At this moment, the ritual has reached its final stage.

It carries its own Dao into the boat, enabling it to achieve its final transformation!

Li Qingshan closed his eyes and focused his mind on his body.

The five secret realms—Sea of ​​Wheels, Palace of the Dao, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform—shone brightly at the same time.

At the sea of ​​life, a golden ocean surges and the fountain of life gushes forth like a pillar.

Inside the Taoist palace, five deities sat cross-legged, each chanting scriptures.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm: Four pillar-like Daoist bones support the physical body and the world.

In the Dragon Transformation Realm, the nine dragon spines resonated with a clanging sound, like the roar of a dragon echoing through the heavens.

On the platform, a tiny figure with the same face as him sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures.

The scripture sounded ancient and profound. It was the Emperor Scripture - the Universe Scripture, which he created after hundreds of years of fishing in the heavens, refining all laws, and observing the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture.

The moment the chanting of the scriptures began, the 3.6 million awakened divine particles within the physical body simultaneously emitted light.

One million two hundred and thirty thousand illuminated particles shone brightly, like a sky full of stars shining together.

The remaining 2.37 million grains, though still dim, seemed to sense something and trembled slightly, as if responding to the chanting.

A mysterious aura rose from his body and slowly surged toward the Ship of Creation in front of him.

This aura is not simply magical power or divine thought, but rather his "Dao" itself—a self-contained divine particle independent of all other Daos, the Dao of the universe.

The breath touched the hull, and the tiny boat, no bigger than a palm, trembled slightly.

Immediately, changes began to occur inside the boat.

Those originally random golden patterns now seemed to have been given life, flowing and intertwining on their own, rearranging and combining according to some mysterious law.

Inside the hull, countless tiny points of light could be faintly seen gathering.

The points of light gathered together and gradually merged into one, forming a very faint halo.

Within the halo, there seemed to be blurry, illusory stars slowly rotating.

That was a projection of the microscopic universe within Li Qingshan's body.

On the ship, an extremely terrifying pressure was gathering—the might of an emperor!

"The celestial flames race across the river; where is the other shore?"

Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the transparent flames around him.

The immortal fire of the tenth level has been burning here for countless millennia, yet it remains trapped in this small space, unable to escape or advance.

It's like a spirit trapped in a bottle, possessing great potential but with no way out.

"Immortal fire is also the sea; since that's the case, refine it for me!"

Li Qingshan whispered.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

boom!!

The entire tenth level of the Fire Domain suddenly trembled.

Those transparent flames that were originally burning calmly seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and began to surge and rotate wildly, forming a huge flame vortex centered on Li Qingshan.

At the center of the vortex, Li Qingshan sat motionless, his black clothes remaining completely still amidst the raging flames.

He actually intended to refine the entire tenth level of immortal fire into this Creation Ship!

This idea is too crazy.

The immortal fire has existed for countless millennia and possesses extremely high essence. It has even burned and killed things that were suspected to be immortals. How could it be subdued by ordinary means?

But Li Qingshan did exactly that.

All 3.6 million particles in his body glowed simultaneously, especially the 1.23 million that were lit up, whose light was extremely dazzling, like 1.23 million miniature suns, and at the same time they burst out with amazing suction force.

Devour!

This is the profound secret he extracted from the "Hell Furnace" of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, forming his unique method of "devouring particles".
