Fishing Again (4/5)

Great Xia's imperial uncle brought out his natal artifact. After blocking the attack, he fled at top speed.

Ji Hao vanished, then descended from above and stomped on his chest, nearly shattering him into pieces. A footprint-shaped dent appeared in his chest. Ji Hao stood on him, sneering.

"Trying to run? Where's that cocky attitude from before?"

"Y-you can't kill me!" Great Xia's imperial uncle said in extreme terror.

Buzz!

At that moment, a dazzling light descended from the void above, striking toward him. It was an enormous golden hand that covered the sky and earth, its ripples as terrifying as a raging sea!

"Release him!"

"Release him? You think you're worthy of stopping me from killing someone?"

With a hard stomp, he was directly crushed into pieces.

Then, the Chaos Gourd above his head spewed out a stream of starlight that turned into a ribbon, directly shattering the giant hand before speeding away for thousands of miles.

Rumble!

As far as the eye could see, the road ahead was clear.

Ji Hao flicked a finger past his temple and said, "Whew, bye-bye, then!"

The next moment, Ji Hao slipped into the void and vanished.

The Mystic Light Platform flashed, crossing tens of thousands of miles to an unknown destination.

Soon, several figures appeared in the void.

"A Perfect Saint Weapon. No wonder he was so arrogant."

"Moreover, this Daoist Youde possesses unparalleled combat strength. Even the hidden geniuses of the various clans might not be his match." As he spoke, a deep killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

"Which prodigy of this era could accomplish such a thing?"

"Not necessarily. Didn't a Wolf God emerge in the Eastern Wasteland recently? Perhaps he could fight him."

"Then find a way to lure them into a battle. If I remember correctly, the secret realm near Holy City is about to open. It is said to contain clues about the Nine Secrets."

"We can lure them there, then encircle them and wipe them out in one stroke."

"No. Geniuses like them possess great luck, and a Perfect Saint Weapon is quite troublesome." A gloomy voice sounded.

"Better to find a way to make the two of them fight. It would be best if one of them died," the owner of the voice continued.

"That will be easy. There is only one set of Nine Secrets, after all. As long as we let them enter, they will naturally fight over it."

"Then it's decided. This world will ultimately belong to our sacred lands and aristocratic families. Geniuses? Hmph!"

Elsewhere, Ji Hao stiffly surveyed his surroundings, suddenly realizing that when it came to carving Mystic Light Platforms, he and Black Emperor were about evenly matched.

"Where the hell is this?!"

An endless desert stretched before him, desolate and devoid of human life. For a moment, Ji Hao thought he had arrived in the Western Desert.

Fortunately, he spotted an oasis a hundred thousand miles ahead and learned that he was still in the Northern Region.

"Perhaps it's time for me to level up!" Ji Hao casually found an open patch of ground, sat down, and pondered to himself.

"With my current abilities alone, breaking through my restraints will be difficult. I need treasures or cultivation techniques from other worlds to broaden my horizons."

Acting as soon as he decided, Ji Hao closed his eyes and entered the fishing space once more.

Ignoring the mountain of blue Dao Seeds piled nearby, he looked toward the two golden Dao Seeds, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Seed shining with seven-colored radiance, and the three Immortal King Dao Seeds glowing with five-colored light.

The Immortal King Dao Seeds had respectively been refined from the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine, Bodhi Immortality Elixir, and Humanoid Immortality Elixir.

The Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Seed had been extracted from Immortal Fire. Although its aura was far stronger than that of the five-colored Immortal King Dao Seeds,

it was exceptionally small. The five-colored Immortal King Dao Seeds were as large as fists, while the seven-colored Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Seed was only the size of a longan.

Perhaps it was because that Quasi-Immortal Emperor had died too completely, or perhaps the Immortal Fire was merely a portion of the Emperor Fire that person had left behind. The laws gathered were incomplete, resulting in a Dao Seed only the size of a longan.

Ji Hao stared at the several Dao Seeds and fell into thought, moving aside the golden Supreme Being Dao Seeds.

He looked at the four Dao Seeds before him.

Ji Hao tightly clenched the Immortal King Dao Seed radiating five-colored light.

He placed the Dao laws on the fishing hook and cast it into the Chaos Sea before him.

The bait quickly fell into the Chaos Sea, tightly connected by a fishing line forged from the River of Time.

Only a dozen or so minutes passed for Ji Hao, but the Chaos was different. There were no years in Chaos, and time flowed differently in every place.

After an unknown amount of time, the bait arrived at a Chaos Sea. Strangely, there were nine Chaos universes there.

The nine Chaos universes were all different. Seven were completely gray and hazy, while two stood apart. One resembled a Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram: Dao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, and all things evolved from them. It was incomparably peaceful. The other had an even more solid aura and emanated a terrifying sword Dao aura. Lofty and peerless in slaughter, if the other Chaos universes were kindly old men, then this Chaos universe was a terrifying swordsman.

Supreme Ultimate Yin-Yang Dao!

Supreme Ultimate Sword Dao!

The Dao Seed radiating five-colored light merged into the Chaos universe dominated by the Supreme Ultimate Sword Dao.

The five-colored radiance dispersed, bringing a variable unlike any before to that universe.

It drew the attention of a supreme existence, who investigated it and said, "Interesting!"

A five-colored Dao Seed appeared in the hand of Ji Ning, dressed in white. In an instant, he understood the Great Dao contained within it.

"An equal exchange? Not bad!"

A hook arrived at the center of this Chaos universe: the Three Realms!

Originally, this place had merely been some remote corner of this Chaos universe. But since an Ultimate Supreme Being had emerged here and become the controller of the Chaos universe, the Three Realms where Ji Ning resided naturally became its center.

Within the Three Realms stood an immense world called the Three Pure Heavens. The three energies of Profound, Origin, and Beginning transformed within it. Vast immortal mountains and towering ancestral courts filled the land; purple qi soared thirty thousand miles into the sky, dragons and phoenixes cried together as they danced through the heavens, and a boundless celestial river with neither beginning nor end hung high above the firmament, its vapor rising tens of thousands of feet.

Heavenly flowers fell from golden light, while streams of auspicious qi hung across the sky, spanning mountain ranges billions of miles long and evolving into strands of five-colored treasure light.

The Dao Sect Ancestral Court!

It had been established by the former Three Pure Dao Ancestors of the Three Realms, now the Three Pure Supreme Beings. It was the Daoist ancestral court of this Chaos universe, incomparably sacred.

At this moment, with the tacit approval of a controller of the Chaos universe, a fishing hook arrived at this Dao Sect Ancestral Court.

The Three Pure Supreme Beings, who were lecturing on the Dao, did not notice as a hook snagged and stole a jade slip they carried close to their body.

It was a jade slip recording one of their supreme arts, which they had originally intended to pass on to their favorite disciple after the lecture.

That divine ability was called One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

Ji Hao, who had transformed into an old fisherman in the fishing space, looked at the jade slip he had just reeled in.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, from the Desolate Universe. It was the supreme art of the Three Pure Supreme Beings, a second primordial spirit secret technique that could create three avatars of equal strength. It contained the mysteries of the three energies of Profound, Origin, and Beginning. At the end of cultivation, they could merge into one, using this to achieve a breakthrough. It was one of the strongest second primordial spirit secret techniques in the Desolate Universe.
