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

Chapter 83 Traitor? Supreme Traitor?! Solving the Supreme Aging Problem!

"You're my fish too!"

"This land is my fishing ground. These fishing lines are my fishing rod. You lie dormant for eternity, waiting for the path to immortality to open, just like I wait for a fish to bite when I'm fishing."

"You thought you were waiting for an opportunity, but what you got was me, the angler."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"Those things you're so proud of are nothing but bait in my eyes!"

Yunheng was stunned.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

A farm?

He thought of himself as a hunter, regarding all living beings as livestock to be raised.

But this person in front of him actually regarded the Supreme Being as a fish he was raising.

He thought he was at the top of the food chain, looking down on all living beings.

But the person in front of him stood at a higher place, looking down at him.

This feeling of being completely overturned was even stronger than when I was locked in by four fishhooks.

Because that is the collapse of cognition.

Everything he had lived for countless ages and was proud of was crushed by a single sentence!

"you----"

Yunheng managed to utter a single word, but couldn't bring himself to say anything more.

Li Qingshan looked at him, his tone still calm.

"What's wrong? Can't figure it out?"

"You think you're clever, that you've seen through the true nature of the world. But what you've seen through is merely a corner of this world. Beyond this world, what are you?"

These words were spoken without any mercy.

But Yunheng was unable to refute it.

He stood there, his demonic aura dimmed, his silver eyes filled with complex light.

a long time.

He spoke, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

"Then why don't you just kill me?"

He looked down at the four fishing lines that were hooked onto him.

"With your strength, you just shattered Samsara, refined Burial Nether, and annihilated Zi Tian in just a few breaths. Now that I'm hooked by you, you can kill me with a single thought."

"Why don't you take action?"

Li Qingshan looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

"Because I need you to live!"

That's a very direct statement.

Yunheng frowned.

"You are more useful alive than dead."

Li Qingshan continued, his tone still calm, "Your strength, even among all the supreme beings, is top-tier, and you've lay dormant for countless ages, with almost no one knowing your true identity. Most importantly, you're afraid of death; even after talking for so long, you haven't chosen to reach the pinnacle of your power!"

Yunheng's face twitched.

This may sound harsh, but it is the truth.

"Being afraid of death is a good thing."

Li Qingshan said, "Only those supreme beings who fear death know how to weigh the pros and cons and make choices."

He paused.

"So, I'm giving you a chance!"

Yunheng's eyes widened suddenly.

He stared at Li Qingshan, his silver eyes gleaming.

"What opportunity?"

"Be my subordinate, do my bidding!"

A few words, direct, blunt, and without any embellishment.

Yungeng stood there, stunned.

He is the supreme ruler.

He once ruled an era, slaughtering all his enemies, and then cut himself in two to lie dormant for eternity, waiting for the path to immortality to open for the supreme being.

Now, you're going to be someone's dog?

"you----"

He spoke, his voice tinged with anger.

But he only uttered one word before swallowing it back.

Because he saw Li Qingshan's eyes.

Those eyes were calm as still water, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

But beneath that calm lies absolute control.

It's as if it's saying: You can refuse, and then die.

Yunheng remained silent.

In the past, it wasn't unheard of for the Emperor to appear before him alone—

Once it happens once, it will happen again.

That's it!

a long time.

He raised his head.

"What do you need me to do?"

He didn't answer directly, but that was tantamount to an admission.

A slight smile appeared on Li Qingshan's lips.

"It's simple. You go back to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and stay there. If you need to lie low, then lie low. If people from other forbidden zones ask, just say that today's matter is over. I fought a great battle with you, and in the end, the three supreme beings were seriously injured and fled far away, while I was completely killed by you!"

'

"I need you to keep an eye on them to prevent them from escaping my sight and hiding. When the time is right and I need to extract the Supreme Blood Essence, I will inform you. At that time, you will find some reasons to lure those Supremes out one by one, and we will completely solve the problem of the Supremes aging!"

These words were spoken calmly, but the killing intent within them sent a chill down Yunheng's spine, even though he had experienced countless battles.

Hunt all the supreme beings?

Is this person crazy?

But looking into Li Qingshan's calm eyes, he felt that Li Qingshan really thought that way.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid I'll change my mind after I go back?"

Yun Geng said in a deep voice, his silver eyes flashing, "So you're turning around and joining forces with other supreme beings to kill you?"

Li Qingshan smiled.

The smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable confidence.

"You can give it a try."

He said, "But I must warn you, although I will retrieve those four fishhooks, they will leave marks on the places where they hooked you!"

He raised his right hand and pointed to Gen's limbs.

"I can find you through that mark anytime I want, and I can hook you back anytime I want."

"Then there won't be a second chance!"

Yunheng's expression changed.

He looked down at his limbs, where the four spots where the fishhooks had pierced his skin now looked no different from the surrounding skin.

But when he carefully examined it with his divine sense, he indeed found four extremely subtle, almost imperceptible marks there.

The mark was subtly connected to his origin, like a malignant tumor clinging to his bones.

He tried to erase the mark.

But the mark remained unmoved, as if it had already merged with his origin.

Yunheng's expression turned even uglier.

This person had planned this all along.

"That mark won't affect anything for you, nor will it reveal any of your secrets."

Li Qingshan said calmly, "It has only one function—to allow me to find you."

"As long as you do exactly as I say, it will never be activated."

"But what if you have ulterior motives—"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Yunheng remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he let out a long breath, and his whole body seemed to shrink a few inches.

"I see!"

He raised his head and looked at Li Qingshan, his silver eyes filled with complex emotions.

"From this day forward, I belong to you!"

He spoke the last few words with great difficulty.

Li Qingshan looked at him and nodded.

"Those who understand the times are wise; there's definitely a reason you've survived this long!"

Yunheng didn't say anything more.

He simply stood there quietly, his demonic aura gradually receding, the light in his silver eyes flickering uncertainly, as if he were lost in thought.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke.

There's something I don't understand.

Li Qingshan looked at him without saying a word.

Yunheng raised his head, his silver eyes staring straight at him.

"With your combat power, you could easily sweep through all the Supreme Beings even if you stormed into the Primordial Ancient Mine. Yet you chose the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and you chose the four of us!"

He paused, his tone filled with deep doubt.

Why?

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan smiled slightly.

The smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable meaning.

A friend once said something to me.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless void, looking towards a distant direction.

"Time becomes the sea, cause and effect are the bait. The sea of ​​reincarnation is also the sea; since you take fishing as your path, why not make this place your fishing spot?"

Yunheng was stunned.

Time becomes an ocean, and cause and effect become the bait.

The Sea of ​​Reincarnation is still a sea, so why not turn it into a fishing spot?

"It's all because of this—"

Yunheng remained silent.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled.

The laughter was hoarse and desolate, carrying an indescribable sense of sorrow and relief.

"What a great fishing spot, what a great fisherman!"

The ancient star of the Big Dipper, in the eastern wilderness.

Forbidden Zone of Life.

Deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine, several ancient wills have been watching the movements in the direction of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

From the sudden arrival of the Ark of the Other Shore, to the forced abduction of the four Supreme Beings, and their subsequent disappearance, everything was beyond their comprehension.

They couldn't even deduce the trajectory of the Other Shore Ship and the four Supreme Beings' actions, or the direction they went.

This is something that has never happened before in ancient history.

A battle at the supreme level, even across billions of miles of starry sky, is enough to make the entire star field tremble!

But this time, they couldn't sense anything.

It was as if the four supreme beings, along with the immortal ship, had vanished into thin air.

"There was no trace of battle, and no clues could be deduced, as if it had never existed."

An aged voice echoed from the depths of the Primordial Ancient Mine, its tone tinged with obvious solemnity.

"Was it the work of that sacred body, or that ship that resembled a celestial artifact?"

Another cold voice chimed in, equally filled with doubt and wariness.

No one can answer this question.

The silence lasted for a long time.

"This is all too bizarre."

The third voice finally rang out, hoarse and deep, like a cold wind blowing from the deepest hell.

"If it was just a show of force, why did he specifically target the Sea of ​​Reincarnation? He's been to the Primordial Mine, the Undying Mountain, the Divine Ruins, and the Immortal Tomb, but he only took what he needed and left. Only in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation did he really get serious."

This statement points out a key point.

Although that immortal ship had been arrogant before, it had only ever demanded treasures and had not actually fought against the Supreme Being.

However, upon reaching the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, they directly dragged away four supreme beings.

Why is it the Ocean of Reincarnation?

"Perhaps, those four people possess something he desires?"

Someone guessed.

"Or perhaps, he came for the Sea of ​​Reincarnation all along, and all that was just a smokescreen."

Someone else added.

One guess after another, but none of them could truly explain the current situation.

Just then, a voice broke the silence.

The voice was ancient and indifferent, yet it carried a majesty that transcended eternity, causing the other wills to fall silent simultaneously.

"Gentlemen, what we should be considering now is not why he made his move, but—"

The voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"If that sacred body eventually returns, what are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, all wills fell silent simultaneously.

Return?

Returning from that isolated, desolate frontier?

If he truly returns, it means that the four supreme beings of the Samsara Sea—

No one thought about it any further, but everyone knew what it meant.

What kind of existence is a Holy Body capable of simultaneously killing four Supreme Beings who have reached the pinnacle of ascension?

That was beyond what an ordinary emperor could describe.

Emperor?

Even the most amazing figures of all time could not have been more remarkable than this.

silence.

A long silence.

Deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine, those eternally indestructible wills seemed to have solidified, without even the slightest fluctuation.

It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that I don't know what to say.

If that sacred body truly accomplished that, then these people—

Just then.

A figure stepped out from beyond the sky and arrived silently.
