Chapter 262: Fishing For Eternity Alone! The Layout Is Too Small, And A Phoenix Is Caught! Grill A
Chapter 262: Fishing Alone Through the Ages! The scope is too small, I'll fish for the Ling Phoenix! If it doesn't transform, I'll roast it and eat it.
After finishing reading the system upgrade content, Han Li withdrew his attention and continued chatting with his four beautiful wives: Bai Keqing, Long Yue, Ling Qingshuang, and Xue Yueqing.
Three women are like a play, but when faced with four women, even four stunning beauties, Han Li still handles it with ease.
After bombarding them with sweet words, Han Li found an excuse to leave first. He was ready to try out the new function. Although he could fish here as well, Han Li was still worried about accidents happening and not being able to explain it later.
Han Li is someone who is very interested in new things, full of curiosity, and loves exploring dangerous places.
Returning to the Qian Dao Hall, Han Li appeared deep in the hall, sitting on a cushion emitting a purple mist, and once again summoned the virtual screen of the Fishing Across the Myriad Realms.
Inside was a vast and boundless ocean, the sea surface calm and silent, but with a majestic aura rushing towards him, as if it wanted to break out of this virtual screen.
Han Li looked at the ten fishing rods on the solitary island, which corresponded to eleven colors from right to left: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold, and black and white.
Han Li focused on the five fishing rods on the left, on which appeared lines of text indicating the cultivation required to use the fishing rods.
"System, what can the black and white fishing rod catch? It actually requires a cultivation of one billion years," Han Li asked softly.
The other nine fishing rods are all single-colored, only the last one is dual-colored, very prominent, and its special nature is self-evident.
Feeling that Han Li, the owner, is too poor and has no chance to use the black and white fishing rod, the system actually answered Han Li's question.
"Using the black and white fishing rod, it is possible to fish out people and objects of the fourth step."
Han Li's eyes flashed, and the system's explanation surprised him. He thought he would receive a "Insufficient permissions, unable to access" response.
What shocked him even more was the system's explanation. This black and white fishing rod truly lived up to its status as the most expensive fishing rod. It required a cultivation of one billion years, but it was related to the fourth step. Everything was worth it.
Haven't you seen the vast and boundless Tai Chu Realm, where the strongest is only at the peak of the third step, Immortal Emperor?
Even if it can't succeed once, fishing ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times, as long as it fishes out people and objects of the fourth step, it will be a huge gain.
Han Li inquired further and gained a clear understanding of the scope of "people and objects." "People" includes both men and women, and encompasses all living beings of the myriad races. "Objects" include everything outside of the myriad races, such as weapons, pills, cultivation techniques, and so on.
The most crucial point is that using the corresponding level of fishing rod can only fish out corresponding level "people and objects," and will never exceed the limit.
For example, using the black and white fishing rod can only fish out "people and objects" of the fourth step, and will never fish out anything from the first step to the third step of cultivation.
Using the red fishing rod, one can only fish out "people and objects" at the Celestial Immortal level.
The nine-colored fishing rods correspond to the nine realms of the Immortal Dao, from Celestial Immortal to Immortal Emperor.
Han Li was naturally very satisfied with this.
Opening treasure chests is too random. Although the upper limit of treasures that can be obtained is higher, Fishing Across the Myriad Realms is more stable, starting at the Celestial Immortal level.
In theory, if he uses the cyan fishing rod, he can fish out treasures at the level of Immortal Lord, such as Immortal Lord weapons and Immortal Lord pills. The probability of obtaining Immortal Lord-level treasures is much higher than opening treasure chests, but it also consumes more cultivation.
After thinking for a moment, Han Li asked a few more questions that he was concerned about.
"System, does this Myriad Realms Sea really lead to the myriad realms of the true heavens? Is the Tai Chu Realm also inside? If I fish out a female Immortal Emperor, will I not be able to reel her in? Will there be a karmic response and be hunted down?"
Han Li waited for a while, and the system still provided an explanation.
"The Myriad Realms Sea leads to the true heavens of the myriad realms. The world where the master was in his previous life and the Tai Chu Realm are all within the scope of the myriad realms, and they involve the past, present, and future of the myriad realms."
"If the master can fish out a female Immortal Emperor, there is no need to worry about not being able to reel her in. The fishing rod has its own great power, and everything that is fished out will be quickly sealed in strength."
"All ten fishing rods are karmic fishing rods. Even the strongest of the fourth step cannot trace the corresponding karma, so the master doesn't need to worry about these things."
After understanding it clearly, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to begin.
He wanted to fish across the myriad realms!
He wanted to fish alone through the ages! (Illustration for the bonus chapter)
"System, how should I go about fishing?"
Han Li suddenly stopped, unsure of how to use these ten fishing rods.
"As long as the master has a thought, they can enter the Boundless Sea within the Myriad Realms and pick up the corresponding fishing rod to start fishing."
After hearing the system's explanation, Han Li was somewhat shocked. He could actually enter the Boundless Sea within this virtual screen.
However, Han Li didn't think too much about it. With a thought, he transformed into a rainbow light and entered the virtual screen.
When Han Li entered, the virtual screen closed, and no one could detect any abnormalities.
Boundless Sea, Myriad Realms Island.
Han Li descended from the sky and landed in the center of the island. After looking around with interest and observing the island and the ocean, he walked towards a large reef where the ten colored fishing rods were lined up in a row.
Without hesitation, Han Li directly picked up the red fishing rod on the far right, and a system prompt sounded, deducting one year of his cultivation.
Han Li carefully examined it and found that the red fishing rod was made of a material he didn't know, but it felt good in his hand.
With a gentle lift of his hand, the lower part of the red fishing rod gradually emerged from the sea, and there was a large chicken leg on the fishing hook, bloody and very fresh.
"Hiss~"
Han Li was a little disappointed, but when he opened his divine eye and swept over it, he suddenly took a cold breath.
This was not a chicken leg at all. It was actually a thigh of a pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenix, containing the corresponding Great Dao and exuding a powerful aura.
Looking at the Heavenly Phoenix thigh in front of him, Han Li admitted that he was tempted and couldn't help but lick his lips.
He only had two thoughts in his mind right now.
The first thought: Is this the opportunity I caught with the red fishing rod?
The second thought: I really want to roast and eat this pure-blooded Heavenly Phoenix thigh!
"The master's perspective is too narrow. This is just bait," the system unexpectedly interjected.
Then Han Li fell silent.
This was the first time he heard the system speak on its own initiative, and it was quite mischievous. Even someone as thick-skinned as him felt a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, no one saw this scene.
"Can I take the bait directly?" Han Li asked after thinking for a moment.
Even if his perspective was narrow, he could at least get it in his hands first.
"I'm afraid not," the system replied with just two words, sounding a bit emotional, no longer as cold and mechanical as before.
After multiple upgrades, the system seemed to have gradually become more humanized. From the system's initiative to speak this time, it showed signs of change.
Han Li didn't think too much about it and directly began his fishing journey. He wanted to see what treasures he could catch with a Heavenly Phoenix thigh.
According to the fishing rules, as long as it wasn't empty, he would definitely catch something at the Celestial Immortal level.
Han Li gently shook the red fishing rod, and the fishing line was automatically cast. Waves rose in the distant sea, and the fishing hook entered the water.
After waiting for a while, Han Li noticed that the fishing rod had no response, so he asked, "System, how long does it take to get results?"
"Master, please be patient. Once the fishing hook enters the water, results will appear within two quarters of an hour."
Upon hearing this, Han Li narrowed his eyes and patiently waited.
It was only two quarters of an hour. He could wait.
After about a quarter of an hour, the sea in the distance suddenly churned with waves, making a big commotion. It seemed that the red fishing rod had really caught something.
Han Li felt delighted. He was able to catch a treasure on his first fishing attempt. Was this the beginner's protection period that fishing enthusiasts often talked about?
In the distance, a whirlpool appeared on the sea surface. The red fishing rod automatically reeled in, dragging the fishing line outward, intending to catch the wonders of the sea.
Han Li stared intently at the whirlpool. Suddenly, a spiritual phoenix flew out, illuminating the vast sea with countless rays of light and surrounded by boundless immortal and daoist radiance.
The spiritual phoenix struggled continuously, trying to break free from the hook's restraint. However, the hook was a rule-based hook, and the phoenix couldn't resist it. It was forcefully pulled in by the red fishing rod.
As the phoenix approached the Wanjie Island, its massive body gradually shrank. When it landed on the island, it was only three meters in size.
"Profit, a bloody profit."
Looking at the phoenix beside him, Han Li's eyes widened. Fortunately, he couldn't remove the bait from the red fishing hook, otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss.
The bait was just a thigh of a Celestial Immortal-level phoenix, but now he had caught an entire Celestial Immortal-level spiritual phoenix. It was truly a bloody profit.
As Han Li looked at this Celestial Immortal-level spiritual phoenix, he considered whether to keep it as a pet or roast and eat it. At the same time, the phoenix was also observing Han Li.
Although Feng Mian's cultivation was sealed, her perception was still intact. After carefully observing Han Li for a few moments, she came to the following conclusions.
This fishing enthusiast is quite handsome. (Crossed out, not important)
This fishing enthusiast hasn't become an immortal yet! (Important)
Feng Mian widened her phoenix eyes, her face showing a human-like expression of shock, confusion, disbelief, and anger.
She had been living peacefully on the island, and suddenly she was caught by someone. Although she wanted to leave the island, she didn't expect it to happen like this.
After being locked by the fishing hook, her cultivation was sealed, and then she traveled through time and space, crossing countless realms, and ended up in an endless sea. She was then dragged to the surface of the sea and pulled onto the island by the fishing hook.
With such a grand plan, Feng Mian thought that the fishing enthusiast must be an immensely powerful cultivator, but it turned out that he hadn't become an immortal yet.
Feng Mian felt both angry and ashamed. She, a Celestial Immortal, had been caught by a mortal.
Is there still justice?
Is there still law?
"Who are you?" Feng Mian looked down at the fishing enthusiast, her large eyes filled with coldness, her tone extremely indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Han Li's pupils contracted slightly, and his thoughts changed.
This phoenix seems to be female?
Han Li decided to see what the phoenix looked like after transforming. If it was ordinary, he would just eat it. If it was as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, he would also eat it.
Han Li didn't answer her question but silently asked in his mind, "System, how do I unseal her cultivation?"
"Master, you just need to say 'unseal,' and her cultivation will be unsealed."
After receiving the answer, Han Li finally answered the phoenix's question.
"Taichu Realm, Han Li."
Feng Mian pondered for a moment. She had never heard of this name or the Taichu Realm.
But Feng Mian fell silent.
It seemed that she had truly left her original world and had been caught by this fishing enthusiast and brought to the so-called Taichu Realm.
"What do you want?" Feng Mian's tone was icy.
She was now in a panic.
Forced to leave her world, her cultivation sealed, and now at the mercy of others. The person in front of her didn't seem like a good person, and she couldn't resist if he did something to her.
"Can you transform?" Han Li suddenly asked.
Although Han Li didn't know why he asked, Feng Mian still said, "My cultivation has been sealed and I cannot transform."
Suddenly, she became hopeful. Could this fisherman have some improper thoughts about her?
She was a Divine Phoenix, and after transforming, she would naturally be extremely beautiful. Perhaps this person was lusting after her body. This was really great.
Once this fisherman unsealed her cultivation, she would be able to turn the tables and control him instead.
A mere mortal who hasn't become an immortal, how could he be a match for her, a noble Celestial Immortal of the Divine Phoenix clan?
"Is that so? Then I will unseal your cultivation," Han Li said directly.
This caught Feng Mian off guard. Was he being so straightforward?
He had no defenses against her, not afraid of her retaliating?
Just as Feng Mian hesitated about whether to say something, she saw Han Li lightly tap her and utter two words, and her cultivation was truly unsealed.
Boom!
A powerful and immense aura soared into the sky, a terrifying momentum spreading from this Divine Phoenix.
Feng Mian happily circled in the sky, emitting joyful cries. Her body was incredibly large, at least millions of zhang in size.
"Kid, how dare you unseal my cultivation? How dare you?!"
Feng Mian circled around the Myriad Realms Island, her tone filled with joy and arrogance, as if she had Han Li completely figured out.
"Buzz~"
Han Li remained silent. The person-slaying sword at his waist unsheathed an inch, and a brilliant sword light shot out, instantly cleaving this enormous Divine Phoenix in half. It fell onto the island, reverting back to its original size.
"You actually have a True Immortal weapon!"
Feng Mian's tone was filled with shock and deep regret. She had been too careless.
Since the other party possessed such a miraculous fishing rod and was able to lure her, a Celestial Immortal, from another world before becoming an immortal, it was clear that he had a hidden trump card.
However, she was caught off guard by being suddenly lured over, and her cultivation was unexpectedly unsealed by Han Li. For a moment, she didn't think of this, leading to a bitter experience.
"Transform."
Watching the Divine Phoenix's body close up and return to its original state, Han Li said calmly.
"I won't!"
Feng Mian turned her head to the side and directly refused.
"Then I will roast you and eat you."
Han Li's tone was indifferent as he gripped the hilt of the person-slaying sword in his left hand and slowly pulled it out.
Feeling the terrifying sword light locking onto her, Feng Mian instantly panicked. This person was really capable of doing such a thing.
He had just given her a sword strike, and now if she didn't transform, this fisherman might come and kill her with a few more strikes and really roast her to eat.
"No, no, no, I'll transform," Feng Mian said in a flustered manner.
Then, a burst of immortal light rose from her phoenix body. When the light dissipated, a stunning beauty appeared before Han Li.
She was a young and beautiful woman with a head of light green hair cascading down. A golden collar hung around her delicate neck. Her makeup was exquisite, her face flawlessly beautiful, and there was even a phoenix feather mark on her forehead.
She was dressed in a gorgeous and exquisite attire, adorned with various accessories from head to toe. There were golden patterns on her jade hands and feet. Her feet were bare, and her toes and nails were light blue. She floated three inches above the ground, not touching the earth.
