Chapter 774: Bottleneck Gap, Fishing Ground!

~15 min read 2,958 words

This Tiangong territory is vast, the entire continent comparable to the area of thousands of immortal cities, the territory extremely large.

Li Hao knew that finding the Sage of Lies here wasn't that easy. If he found the previous Chi Ying, perhaps he could entrust her to inquire.

Chi Ying also climbed to the summit on Mount Wen Dao, but there were too many things in the trial, and they didn't have a chance to contact or communicate.

And now that the trial was over, the disciples of various immortal dynasties were all bound. Rushing to find a meeting would easily cause misunderstandings.

After all, the Southern Region Battle was next. Various immortal dynasties would keep their disciples under control to avoid being secretly harmed by other forces and having accidents in the battle in advance.

"That Source Sage and God Lord are also in the Tiangong territory. I don't know if they know of my arrival."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. Back then in the Heavenly Calamity False Realm, the two of them both pretended to be dead, forcing him to fight that True Immortal Ancient Demon alone, almost falling. He had always kept this account in mind.

However, the battle was more important right now.

Li Hao shook his head and left the courtyard. Who would have thought that just as he walked out, the Great Da Da Meng Zhu's voice rang in his ears:

"Where are you going?"

"Going around everywhere."

Li Hao said.

"Now that you are famous in the Southern Region, be careful when going out. There are only three days left."

The Great Da Da Meng Zhu's words carried the meaning of persuasion.

"Sitting in the courtyard and being dazed is also meaningless."

Li Hao also understood the Great Da Da Meng Zhu's worry, somewhat helpless, and also made the thought of returning.

But after a brief silence, the Great Da Da Meng Zhu said: "In this Tiangong territory, under the Supreme's eyelids, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. How about this, I will give you an immortal treasure that can change your aura. If you encounter danger, crush my letter talisman, and I will appear by your side instantly."

While speaking, the Great Da Da Meng Zhu's figure landed in front of Li Hao, handing Li Hao two things.

One was a spinning golden round hat, only the size of a thumb.

The other was a mottled letter talisman, radiating pure immortal power.

Li Hao thanked her, indicating he would return it later.

The Great Da Da Meng Zhu shook her head, not saying much, only saying 'be careful'.

Li Hao recognized the golden round hat as his own. This round hat instantly transformed into a golden flowing light feather garment, wrapping around Li Hao's body, completely covering his aura.

Li Hao's eyes turned, opening the Myriad Phenomena attribute, and adding the many techniques he mastered to hide his aura, he unleashed them all. Under these many protections, Li Hao believed that unless an Immortal King Realm expert probed at close range, it would be impossible to detect.

Moreover, whether his Myriad Phenomena attribute disguise could be seen through by an Immortal King Realm expert, Li Hao did not yet know.

Nowadays, his Water Dao origin was Level Four. This Dao realm was quite helpful for hiding and disguising.

Space origin was also the same.

After finishing everything, Li Hao set off immediately, leaving the courtyard under the protection of the formation, arriving outside the Tiangong, looking at the vast Tiangong territory.

The entire vast continent appeared before his eyes. Li Hao felt something in his heart, turned his head to look, and in the extremely distant north, faintly saw a mountain peak with blurred golden light. That was precisely the direction of Mount Wen Dao.

Without restraint, Li Hao felt happy and moved forward all the way.

Not long after, he arrived in a city in the Tiangong territory.

Here, the voices were loud. The clothes of the pedestrians on the street all looked like brocade and silk, as if they were all rich and noble people, everywhere revealing nobility and prominence.

Li Hao landed, walking in the crowd, seeing many small stalls by the road, emitting mouth-watering smells. He immediately stepped forward to purchase some, holding them in his hand while eating and walking.

Along the way, Li Hao heard passersby discussing the various aspects of the previous two trials, all discussing the upcoming Southern Region Battle, who could compete for first place, and so on.

In addition, there were also sect forces in this city, but there were heaven's pride experts participating, but they were eliminated in the first round. At this time, they were also sitting in the dojo in front of the sect, waiting for the opening of the Southern Region Battle, attracting many people to watch.

Although they were eliminated from the trial, in the local city, they were still top-tier monstrous talents, and many people revered them.

Li Hao tasted a few restaurants locally, ate and drank, held some local special pastries, and left, continuing to wander in other places.

In just one day and one night, Li Hao had already visited seven or eight cities, understanding the local customs of this Tiangong territory.

The next day, Li Hao prepared to return home, passing by a suburb, but suddenly saw an old man sitting and fishing by the side of a cliff next to a lake.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, his figure turned, and he wandered over, seeing the fish basket beside the old man empty, while the fishing rod was inlaid with gold, looking extremely expensive.

He couldn't help but feel it was funny, landed, and glanced at the lake in front of the fishing rod. He didn't use his spiritual sense to penetrate the bottom of the lake; doing so would lose the meaning of fishing. But just from the ripples on the lake surface, the water flow, and the temperature around, he knew that this was not an excellent fishing spot.

However, although the fishing spot was not an excellent choice, if the fishing skill was enough, there could also be a harvest. It was just looking at the old man's appearance, it was clearly holding an attitude of 'those who wish to be hooked', not making any effort at all.

"Old man, any harvest?"

Li Hao asked knowingly, saying with interest.

The old man sensed the movement, turned his head to sweep over, saw Li Hao's strange face, and let out a light snort, saying: "Where did this hairy kid come from?"

He said it, but added a sentence, "I just arrived."

Li Hao stole a laugh in his heart, but didn't expose him, taking out some delicious food he had selected from various cities earlier, handing a portion of deep-fried crispy meat to the old man, saying:

"Hungry? Taste it?"

"Hm?"

The old man saw the food Li Hao handed over, somewhat surprised. Clearly, he hadn't expected this youth to be unafraid of strangers, and also generous. He originally wanted to refuse; fishermen don't like to be disturbed, but smelling the fragrance of the deep-fried crispy meat, it hooked his appetite. He thought about it and still took it, saying:

"Little guy, where are you from? Looking at your accent and appearance, you don't look like someone from this territory."

"This Southern Region Battle, I came with my master to join in the fun."

Li Hao said casually.

The old man nodded, not saying much either, touching a pot of wine from his heaven and earth space. Thinking about it, he asked Li Hao:

"Have a cup?"

"Yes."

Li Hao laughed, taking out a small glazed cup from his heaven and earth space.

The old man opened the wine pot, poured a full cup for Li Hao, and then drank it himself.

"You provide the meat, I provide the wine, it counts as even." He said.

Li Hao didn't care about these, but smelling the rich wine fragrance in the cup, his heart was immediately surprised. This was absolutely an extremely rare fine wine.

He tasted a mouthful, immediately feeling as if he had inhaled a mouthful of concentrated immortal power, melting into his body. His internal organs were burning and tempering in this immortal power.

Li Hao was shocked in his heart, feeling carefully. After the burning and scorching feeling gradually faded, he immediately discovered that the immortal power in his body, which had already reached the bottleneck and was full, had actually decreased a lot, but it was purer and more condensed than before.

Previously like gas mist, now it was like dense cotton.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, couldn't help but size up this old man, but only felt the aura of the True Immortal Realm from the other party.

However, often drinking this wine, having this kind of peerless fine wine, it was impossible to be just in the True Immortal Realm. Even if he drank it, he could drink to the Immortal Monarch Realm.

Undoubtedly, the other party used some kind of secret technique to cover up his true cultivation.

Li Hao realized in his heart, but didn't expose it. After all, he himself also had a disguise, so it counted as even.

"Good wine!"

He smacked his lips, sighing.

The old man heard Li Hao's words, but the corner of his mouth tilted up, glancing sideways, as if to say, does that even need to be said?

"This deep-fried crispy meat in the South City is also not bad. That Zheng old man's craftsmanship has been passed down for three hundred years, and it is one of the few things in the South City that I think is delicious. It counts as you having an eye for it."

The old man said.

Li Hao was surprised, not expecting the other party to know where this deep-fried crispy meat was purchased.

"With food in front of us, heroes see the same thing!"

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing Li Hao's words, the old man raised his brows, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Hao, feeling that this youth was indeed somewhat strange.

He didn't say anything more, eating and drinking while watching the movement of his fish float.

"Old man, you won't be able to catch fish like this. Your fish hook hasn't sunk to the bottom, floating in the water, too obvious."

Li Hao saw him doing useless work and couldn't help but remind him.

The old man didn't look back, saying faintly: "Who said it wouldn't be hooked like this?"

Li Hao was helpless, feeling that this old man might have high cultivation, but his fishing skill was hard to describe.

Just as he was thinking this in his heart, suddenly the old man's wrist shook, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

Li Hao's face changed, looking at this scene in surprise.

He had actually misjudged.

The next moment, a golden dragon carp was actually dragged out by the other party, also in the True Immortal Realm cultivation, but only Level Five. In the struggle, it was bound by a strong power law, unable to break free.

"Spare my life, senior, spare my life."

The dragon carp wanted to reveal its ferocious original body, but touching the old man's gaze, it felt its whole body like being struck by lightning, losing its strength like being skinned and cramped.

The old man casually unhooked it and threw it into the fish basket. The other party jumped in the basket, but couldn't jump out of the fish basket. Inside, it formed a large formation barrier, sealing it, and it could only struggle and beg bitterly.

The old man casually covered the fish basket, isolating its voice, and said to Li Hao:

"Look, isn't it hooked?"

While speaking, his eyes revealed a touch of indifference, but Li Hao clearly felt his mood become happy.

Li Hao smiled bitterly. He also had times when he misjudged. He didn't know whether to say this dragon carp was too stupid, or the other party had explosive luck.

"Powerful."

He sighed with admiration.

The old man said casually: "Looking at your appearance, you also understand fishing. Why not try?"

Li Hao was stirred up with a fishing addiction by him, naturally having no reason to refuse.

He immediately unleashed immortal power, floating into the lake like a silk thread.

Li Hao had long observed the location and situation of the lake. With his fishing level, he should be hooked soon.

Time passed quietly. A plate of deep-fried crispy meat had been eaten, and the wine in Li Hao's cup was also drunk. The immortal power in his body was burned to be more dense and thick, faintly showing signs of pulling threads.

But relative to the changes in his body, Li Hao's mind was in fishing. He was surprised to find that he actually hadn't been hooked for a long time.

He had thought about using spiritual sense to probe the situation at the bottom of the lake. Could it be that there was only one dragon carp in this entire lake?

But in the end, he held back.

He didn't believe that with his fishing skill, he wouldn't catch anything.

But as time passed, the old man beside him pulled up a tiger shrimp again, but Li Hao still had no harvest.

"What happened?"

Li Hao revealed surprise, having a feeling of his worldview being shocked.

Could it be that the other party had the legendary beginner's luck?

"Youth, you are impatient. This is a taboo in fishing."

The old man said with a smile.

Li Hao came back to his senses, immediately realizing that his thoughts were somewhat chaotic. He immediately calmed his mood. This time, he used the power of space origin, as well as time origin, extending the line into the lake to search for prey.

But he searched everywhere, but found nothing. The entire lake was empty.

Just when Li Hao thought that the only two prey in the lake had already been fished out, the old man pulled the line again, and a black water catfish was dragged out.

Li Hao fell into silence.

At this very moment, if he still didn't realize something was wrong, he would be too numb.

It was just that Li Hao didn't know where the problem lay.

He stared at the lake surface, observing carefully, but still couldn't see anything unusual.

As time passed, the stars moved and the moon set, until night fell, and starlight scattered on the lake surface, dotted and mottled.

The old man lifted the fishing rod, casually pouring out the three prey in the fish basket, and released them back into the lake.

"It's getting late, the old woman is waiting for me to eat at home."

The old man stood up, patted his somewhat sore back, and said.

Li Hao came back to his senses, seeing that he had actually returned empty-handed. He was somewhat unwilling. This was the first time he had fished and been crushed by someone, and he lost strangely.

"I'll fish for a while longer."

As a person who returned empty-handed, at this moment Li Hao said that stubborn sentence.

The old man laughed dumbly, saying: "Youth, you have fishing skill, but do you know why you have no catch?"

"Why?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

"Because, this is my fishing ground."

The old man smiled, then carried the fishing rod, turned his back, and went down the mountain.

Li Hao looked at the other party's figure disappearing into the forest, but in his mind, it was like thunder exploding, sitting blankly on the spot.

"... Fishing ground."

Li Hao's brain buzzed. That sentence was no less than the Great Dao thunder sound, and what Li Hao heard was definitely not what mortals understand as a fishing ground, but countless spiritual lights bursting out, finally combining, transforming into one word: Domain.

In an instant, Li Hao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder, no wonder he hadn't been able to fish it up. It turned out this was the other party's domain!

Everything he perceived was covered and distorted by the immortal Dao laws within the domain. Therefore, he saw that the bottom of the lake was empty, but the other party could be hooked one after another!

"Domain..."

Li Hao muttered to himself, chewing on this word lightly.

His Fishing Dao had already reached the eleventh-stage bottleneck limit, capable of hooking a period of time from the mist and space.

But these things were like drifting sand, and he was just tying them up.

True fishing is forming a fishing ground that belongs exclusively to oneself!

Li Hao faintly felt that his Fishing Dao had broken through half a bottleneck and had already seen the direction.

It was just that how to form his own fishing ground was not something that could be understood in one sentence.

Li Hao sat by the side of the cliff, lost in thought.

Light and shadow flowed, stars hid and the moon set, and the morning sun rose.

On the summit, the youth was still sitting quietly.

Until an old voice rang from behind Li Hao, "Still here?"

Li Hao woke up, turned to look, and saw the old man from yesterday walking out of the forest with a fishing rod again today.

He came back to his senses, but joy appeared on his face, saying: "Senior, you are here."

The old man saw the spiritual light in Li Hao's eyes, and a trace of surprise rose in his heart. He only mentioned it, and this child actually realized it? ===== CHAPTER 775 =====
