Chapter 288: Who Says Humans Have No Great Emperor? The Lone Fisher of Ancient Times, He Tian Di! The Fishing the Multiverse Template! (Part 1)
"Based on the known clues, it can be concluded that no matter how strong the physical body is, it's useless. This is a rule-based suppression, and even if the body is powerful, it still can't withstand it."
"If one could surpass the rules..."
"Then I wouldn't need to bother creating a technique."
Lu Ming chuckled self-deprecatingly.
If one could ignore the rules and withstand Immortal Qi, wouldn't that mean the physical body has already 'ascended to immortality,' and can directly fight against Ninth Level beings?
Then why bother creating a technique?
And so... a paradox emerged.
Not strong enough, can't withstand it.
Strong enough, but doesn't need to 'withstand' it.
"So, I need to change my perspective."
"Perhaps, I can use some secret techniques, methods, or external objects to weaken the destructive nature of Immortal Qi, making it gentler and useful to me?"
"But..."
"I haven't heard of it either."
"..."
"Search!"
Just because he hadn't heard of it didn't mean others hadn't.
Just because others hadn't heard of it didn't mean everyone hadn't.
How much does he really know about the Immortal Martial Continent?
Several days later.
Lu Ming immersed himself in the Scripture Repository of the Bright Moon Sect.
But he wasn't there to read cultivation techniques or secret arts; instead, he focused on various historical books, biographies, legends, and even novels and miscellaneous books.
He sought any clues, even the slightest hints, that could help him.
Even the slightest hints could provide Lu Ming with some inspiration, and perhaps lead to some breakthroughs.
What he needed wasn't a complete cultivation technique.
But rather... a little inspiration, a little clue.
With his terrifying understanding, shared by many protagonist templates, as long as he spent some time, he would surely figure it out.
With clues...
He could follow them and eventually achieve something.
However, unfortunately.
Even after sleepless nights and half a month of searching, using his divine sense to browse through nearly ten million volumes of books in the Bright Moon Sect, he still found nothing.
There were many books and contents related to the issue, mostly asking questions.
Questions similar to Lu Ming's own.
A small portion were laments.
"Alas," and "Why can't..." were the laments and helplessness.
The rest were factual records.
For example, thirty thousand years ago, a demonic cultivator, backed into a corner and surrounded by enemies, chose to forcibly attract Immortal Qi into his body in desperation, seeking a transformation.
At that time, he had already reached the Eighth Realm.
And cultivated the Invincible Technique - Blood Demon True Body! His physical body was formidable, earning him the title of Blood Demon.
He had withstood a strike from the Ninth Realm without shattering! But even someone as powerful as him couldn't endure it.
Just a wisp of Immortal Qi entered his body, and he exploded and died...
The Blood Demon True Body became a joke.
Or eighteen thousand years ago, a body cultivator of Heavenly Prodigy level emerged, akin to 'One Punch Man.'
With his formidable physical body, he dominated an era, astonishing the world for tens of thousands of years! This Heavenly Prodigy had high aspirations and was unsatisfied with his current state.
He wasn't content with the conventional path, and throughout his journey, he always challenged those above his level!
So, he prepared himself, enhancing his physical body to the Ninth Realm, and then invited two Ninth Realm guardians to protect him as he attracted Immortal Qi.
But he still exploded.
Not even leaving behind a complete body.
"..."
"Tsk."
Lu Ming sighed, "It's indeed much more difficult than I imagined."
"I can't find any useful records."
"All the information I've found tells me it's impossible."
"But I refuse to believe it."
"There must be a glimmer of hope, it's just a matter of finding it."
"!"
He even felt that once Shi Hao reached the Eighth Realm, he might be able to withstand it with just his physical body! But the problem now was that Shi Hao was still far from the Eighth Realm.
And his Eighth Realm wasn't the same as that of ordinary cultivators.
"I have to rely on myself."
"The Bright Moon Sect is growing stronger, and so are our enemies."
"For example, the Bright Moon Sect, according to my understanding, will become a Super First-Class Sect once Ji Haoyue reaches the Ninth Realm. By then, we must have someone capable of stopping him."
"Time is of the essence, I must become stronger."
Lu Ming took a deep breath and decided to 'start anew.'
The Bright Moon Sect was growing stronger, and so were their enemies!
Even without mentioning the Bright Moon Sect, there were still the Rain Clan, Stone Clan, Hidden Soul Temple, and other forces eyeing them, ready to pounce at any moment.
And the Hidden Soul Temple, a top-tier Super First-Class Sect, must have some unspeakable secrets, and without improving his strength, he couldn't withstand them!
The seemingly glorious Bright Moon Sect had many and significant problems.
...
Several days later.
Lu Ming still had no clue.
"There's no other way."
"Since trying to create a technique on my own isn't working and I have no leads, I'll go out into the world to find the answers."
"Perhaps I'll discover something?"
With this thought, he temporarily bid farewell to Ji Haoyue.
When Lu Ming's departure was for better enlightenment, guided by a sudden inspiration, Ji Haoyue couldn't refuse.
He even offered to have the Great Elder accompany him...
"That's not necessary."
"We cultivators often have mysterious insights," Lu Ming shook his head in refusal.
"If that's the case... then I'll follow Elder Lu's suggestion."
"Please return as soon as you've achieved your enlightenment."
"..."
...
Lu Ming wandered the Immortal Martial Continent, searching for the 'fateful technique' meant for him.
He traversed the vast mountain ranges, sensing the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, attempting to grasp the mysteries within.
He listened to the wind and observed the flow of water, hoping to gain insight into the essence of the immortal arts.
However, whenever he tried to incorporate his insights into his cultivation, he always felt a slight deviation, resulting in a thousand miles of error.
He also ventured to ancient ruins, searching for traces left by his predecessors.
He studied ancient books, deciphered runes, and tried to find a clue from them.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to lift the veil of mystery.
Lu Ming had also sought guidance from other cultivators, hoping to gain some enlightenment.
But no one could answer this question.
He had moments of confusion and felt helpless, but he never gave up.
Each failure made Lu Ming more keenly aware of his shortcomings.
He understood that creating such a 'heaven-defying method' required arduous effort and endless time, and he firmly believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would succeed one day.
So, Lu Ming continued to travel across the Immortal Martial Continent, leaving his mark in many places, and his figure became more resolute with the rising and setting of the sun.
Failure didn't discourage him; instead, it ignited a stronger fighting spirit within him.
Unconquerable fighting spirit!
On this day, Lu Ming crossed a dangerous mountain range, effortlessly dealing with a few 'immortal bandits' who lacked foresight, and gazed upon the vast lake before him, shimmering with ripples.
The sun was setting in the west, casting a strange red hue upon the water's surface.
In the distance, smoke rose from a village.
It was an ordinary village, peaceful and harmonious, a rare sight in the current era.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, not wanting to disturb them, but at the edge of his vision, a figure like a sculpture caught his attention.
As the day grew late, the sun had already sunk halfway.
For ordinary people, the weather had turned cool.
And because the mountain range with the beasts wasn't too far away, there were many snakes, insects, and rodents, which were deadly to ordinary people, though they might not be much to a cultivator.
But at this moment, the figure remained motionless, sitting on a strange rock, not moving a muscle.
If not for the divine sense clearly perceiving that this person was alive and their life force was stable, Lin Fan might have thought they were dead.
A straw hat and a raincoat.
In his hand, a fishing rod, as steady as Mount Tai.
"It's a pity it's not winter, and there's no snow on the lake."
"Otherwise, it would truly be like the scene of 'Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow.'"
Lu Ming was suddenly inspired and approached slowly.
He didn't reveal his cultivation and approached as an ordinary person.
"Old brother, are you fishing?"
This was a middle-aged man, around thirty to forty years old.
Time had left some traces on his face, but they weren't too noticeable.
He glanced at Lin Fan, nodded slightly, but didn't speak.
He seemed quiet and reticent, not inclined to talk to strangers.
Lu Ming wasn't bothered and laughed, sitting down not far from him, watching him fish while also observing this person.
"Interesting."
"This physique..."
"It's very special."
"It seems to be some kind of rare spiritual body?"
After a brief observation, Lu Ming was astonished.
This was actually a spiritual body! In a first-class sect, he would have been qualified to be a Holy Son!
But this man had no cultivation and was just an ordinary person with a spiritual body.
His luck wasn't bad.
Lu Ming laughed and said softly, "Old brother, has anyone ever told you that you have a connection to the immortal path?"
"Shh!"
However, the fishing brother shushed him, saying, "Don't scare away my fish."
Lu Ming: "..."
His mouth twitched slightly.
Wow, does he know that he has the potential to become an immortal, and he's telling me not to scare away his fish? Shouldn't ordinary people be excited to the point of jumping three feet high when they hear about becoming immortal? This isn't right! And can ordinary people resist the temptation of becoming immortal?
"Old brother."
"To be honest, I'm the leader of a sect."
"Your talent is exceptional. Once you start cultivating, your potential is limitless."
"Whether it's protecting the people or achieving longevity, it's all within your grasp..."
As the sect leader, it's his duty to find talented disciples for the sect... Ah, no, it's his duty to find talented disciples with extraordinary potential and inject fresh blood into the sect.
Although the purpose of his trip was to create a new method, it doesn't hurt to recruit a couple of disciples for the sect along the way! At the same time, Lin Fan didn't think he would fail.
After all...
Except for the very few with special experiences, who wouldn't want longevity and strength?
However, he miscalculated.
The fishing brother glared at him, "What's wrong with you?"
"I already told you to be quiet and not scare away my fish!"
"What's so good about cultivating?
"Can it be as carefree as fishing every day?"
"As long as I can fish every day, I'd be content with living just a few decades."
"If I can't fish, I wouldn't want longevity even if it were offered to me."
"You should leave!"
He started to shoo Lu Ming away.
Lu Ming was stunned.
Wow...
To be so obsessed with fishing?
He's annoyed at me and wants me to leave?
I can't accept this, I have to try again.
I refuse to believe I can't win him over. Lu Ming decided to use his divine sense to communicate.
Speaking might indeed scare away the fish, but using divine sense to communicate shouldn't be a problem, right?
But...
Just as he was about to use his divine sense to transmit his voice directly into the fishing brother's mind, a sudden change occurred.
The originally calm lake suddenly churned with terrifying waves, towering over ten thousand zhang! The entire world seemed to shake.
Even Lu Ming was startled.
To his surprise, the Fishing Master remained unfazed and excitedly rose to his feet, vigorously pulling on the fishing rod.
In...
Reeling in a fish?!
Lu Ming was utterly bewildered.
It was indeed the action of reeling in a fish.
An ordinary person calmly reeling in a fish amidst this apocalyptic scene?!
Lu Ming looked towards the lake, ready to leap into action to save the man at any moment...
A thunderous roar reverberated once more.
The waves surged even more violently.
The raging wind and rain seemed to lash at their faces.
In that instant, Lu Ming sensed something amiss and used his Divine Sense to observe, then...
He was stunned!
"What is that?!"
In that moment, Lu Ming's body tensed.
He saw it!
In the lake, a colossal creature was struggling!
It had been 'hooked' by the Fishing Master! But it was definitely not a fish.
It was a real dragon!
Its massive size and intact dragon horns indicated it wasn't a young dragon like Little Dragon Girl, but a fully grown adult dragon!
Holy shit?!
Lu Ming's mind raced.
There was actually a real dragon in this lake?!
This Fishing Master was actually fishing for a real dragon?!
No way...
What the hell was going on here?
So, was this Fishing Master some Ninth Level big shot playing among mortals, disguised as an ordinary person?!
Otherwise...
How could he possibly be fishing for a real dragon?!
And what's more, where did this real dragon come from?
Wait a minute!
Amidst the shock, Lu Ming realized something was amiss.
Whether it was the real dragon or the raging waves, they all seemed 'illusory', not quite 'real'!
It seemed...
Everything was fake? But the raging wind and rain hadn't even dampened their clothes.
In the distant village, the mortals showed no reaction.
So, could they not see it?
This...
The scene left Lu Ming dumbfounded, but after a brief moment, his body trembled, and he suddenly understood.
Could this be?!
The Protagonist Template?!
Lu Ming had an epiphany!
The sight was indeed terrifying, but it was all 'illusory'.
However, it wasn't entirely accurate to call it illusory; to be precise, it was happening in another 'world'.
One could only see it but not 'touch' it! Unless the Fishing Master reeled 'it' in, it wouldn't appear in the 'present' world.
In other words, the Fishing Master wasn't fishing for the lake's fish; he was fishing for beings from another world. As for what he would catch...
Most likely, anything was possible.
Fish were the most common, but there would also be all sorts of other things.
Even if he fished out a girl, it wouldn't be surprising.
At this moment, fishing up a real dragon from another world wasn't something incomprehensible.
In fact, it was a type of story that had been extremely popular in the online literature world during a particular period.
In short...
Fishing the Multiverse.
It was also often jokingly referred to as—Where's the Fishing the Multiverse? It's just the fantasy of a fisherman who dies every day.
Ahem.
However, Lu Ming hadn't expected that he would encounter such a Protagonist Template by chance.
The Fishing the Multiverse Protagonist Template... It's also a cheat!
Whether it's strong or weak depends on his luck and what he manages to fish out.
If he's lucky, he can easily fish out divine artifacts, god-level skills, various divine beasts, and even experience points, directly leveling up with overwhelming strength!
So, the lucky Fishing the Multiverse Protagonist Template is a badass! But if he's unlucky, well, that's another story.
But then again.
Which Protagonist Template would have bad luck?
Could someone with bad luck even be a protagonist?
You must be kidding.
So...
"Amazing!"
"The ten-year gift package didn't arrive as expected, but when I went out to 'seek knowledge', I happened to encounter one. This is the fate of our Moon Embrace Sect, and it's also his fate!"
The Fishing the Multiverse Protagonist Template is indeed a cheat.
But the Moon Embrace Sect also has its advantages, especially during this Golden Great Era with numerous protagonists!
Lu Ming's gaze towards the Fishing Master changed.
He had already made up his mind to take him under his wing.
Whether he became his personal disciple or not didn't matter.
At the very least, he had to bring him into the Moon Embrace Sect!
...
The Fishing Master's fishing scene became even more incredible.
Too 'intense'!
The sky rumbled, and the lake seemed to 'flip'!
Countless fish, shrimp, and crabs flew about.
The struggling power of the real dragon was even more overwhelming.
With such force, Lu Ming was certain that even a Ninth Level expert would be 'pulled apart'. There was no way they could be a match for an adult real dragon.
But this Fishing Master managed to withstand it!!!
He stubbornly reeled in the adult real dragon as if it were a fish.
Although it was strenuous, he was just an ordinary mortal!
A first-tier mortal, standing on a giant boulder, reeled in the real dragon like a thirty-four-pound fish! Although it was challenging, he didn't budge an inch, standing firm like a rooted ancient pine, a badass!
However, witnessing this scene, Lu Ming wasn't overly surprised.
It was astonishing, but this was how the Fishing the Multiverse protagonist was.
There was a peculiar 'Rule Power' at play!
Any target hooked, no matter how fierce, would be 'suppressed'.
Or perhaps...
But Lu Ming wasn't sure what kind of 'cheat' this Fishing Master possessed—was it the fishing rod's durability or a powerful system?
Another thunderous roar sounded.
As Lu Ming pondered, the real dragon suddenly broke free of the hook.
