Chapter 288: Who Says Humans Have No Great Emperor? The Lone Fisher of Ancient Times, He Tian Di! The Fishing the Multiverse Template! (Part 2)

"Roar!!!"

The real dragon roared and cursed, but separated by countless worlds, it was unclear what it was cursing. The astonishing scene quickly dissipated...

The lake's surface returned to calm.

"Damn!"

"It actually got away!"

The fishing master cursed under his breath and sat back down, reeling in the line, baiting the hook, and casting it out in one fluid motion.

He hooked another one!

Lu Ming: "..."

Good, good, good.

With such composure, such style, and such an insatiable 'fishing addiction', I am willing to call you the strongest! Only someone like this could truly master the art of fishing, right?

Six!

Lu Ming composed himself and transmitted his voice through his divine sense, "Hey, have you ever tried lure fishing?"

"..."

The fishing master suddenly turned around, fixing his gaze on Lu Ming as if his eyes were a 'microscope', trying to see through every detail.

Unfortunately, he couldn't discern anything from Lu Ming's face.

In the end, the fishing master spoke softly, "Hey, fellow countryman?"

"Yes," Lu Ming didn't deny it.

"It's rare to meet a fellow countryman in this godforsaken place," the fishing master muttered, "But it makes sense, if I can be here, why can't others?"

"I'm not the only one."

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't."

He muttered a few more words before losing interest in continuing the conversation, preparing to resume fishing.

However, as a fishing master, he had one 'trait' - always dragging those around him into the pit of fishing.

Just like a man's other trait - convincing ladies to turn over a new leaf.'

"How about we each take a rod?"

"Sure!"

Lu Ming happily took out a lump of ordinary metal and, with his refining skills, effortlessly crafted it into a fishing rod, even making a hook in the process.

As for the fishing line... he directly used the 'large tendons' of a demon beast he had casually hunted earlier.

Then, he baited the hook with a small piece of demon beast meat and cast his line, beginning his fishing.

When it came to fishing, Lu Ming wasn't particularly skilled.

He had only tried it a few times with friends when he was in his teens.

But he could at least put on a show.

With his cultivation, he exuded an air of composure.

At least, this fishing master didn't notice any issues, instead nodding in approval, which opened up the conversation.

Fishing masters didn't like chatting with outsiders, as it wasted time and energy and might even scare away their fish.

But when it came to another fishing master... they had plenty to talk about.

"Not bad, but this doesn't seem very professional. You're even making the rod on the spot, which shows you don't really like fishing." The fishing master clicked his tongue in amazement, "But it is convenient for you, being able to create one so easily."

"Is this the power of a cultivator?"

"I don't fish much, I mainly focus on cultivation," Lu Ming chuckled, "If we're talking about convenience, of course."

"Cultivation, once your cultivation base is high enough, the things you can do are countless."

"Why not give it some thought?"

"Not to mention, becoming a cultivator grants you longevity, far surpassing your current lifespan by an unknown amount. With longevity, you can fish for much longer."

Lu Ming gently persuaded, deciding to appeal to the fishing master's interests.

For such a fishing master, talking about other things would be pointless.

Even... beauties might not be effective.

Because this guy had heard that many middle-aged fishing enthusiasts were so obsessed with fishing that they wouldn't return home at night... ahem, not because they didn't want to, but because the wife at home was like a tiger...

So, what could they do? That's why, if you mentioned beauties, he might even get worked up!

As for cultivation strengthening the kidneys...

While it could indeed strengthen the kidneys, it might not necessarily enhance that ability, and some issues were psychological.

Since nothing was clear at the moment, it was better not to discuss this with the fishing master, to avoid the opposite of the intended effect.

"What you're saying does make sense."

The fishing master nodded, "Actually, sometimes I think about cultivation, but I don't have the connections, and it would distract me from fishing."

"Does cultivation take up a lot of time?"

"Although I haven't experienced it myself, I've watched dramas, you know, 'In the mountains, time stands still,' 'In the depths of winter, one forgets the passing of years,' 'Each seclusion lasting for hundreds or even thousands of years'..."

"Then what about my fish?"

"There are so many fish waiting for me to catch, so many fishing spots waiting to be discovered and conquered!"

"So, let's forget about it."

Seeing that Lu Ming still wanted to persuade him, the fishing master added, "And you should have seen it earlier."

"I'm not just fishing for fish."

"With a bit of luck, I might reel in some good stuff, and longevity is within reach."

"To be honest, I once caught a soft-shelled turtle that was over a meter in diameter. I cooked and ate it, and it extended my lifespan by a thousand years."

"A thousand years!"

He shook his head, "I could live to be an old fairy."

"Then you'll catch other things, right?"

"Makes sense!"

Lu Ming agreed, following the fishing master's lead.

Now it was the fishing master's turn to be surprised, "You're giving up just like that?"

"If I tried to persuade you, would you agree?"

"No," the fishing master shook his head firmly.

"Then that's that. It's not like I can convince you anyway."

"But I'm curious."

Lu Ming gently probed, "What's your current strength?"

"Strength? I don't have much strength."

"Just an ordinary person."

The fishing master nonchalantly replied, "I've always been an ordinary person."

"Then here's the problem."

Lu Ming spread his hands, "In this era, it's known as the Golden Great Age."

"The Golden Great Age is when prodigies abound, talents are as numerous as dogs. In other words, a new season has begun! The entire world might be reshuffled."

"Chaos will soon engulf the Immortal Martial Continent, and I believe this place won't be spared."

"No one can remain unaffected."

"Even if the strong don't care about ordinary people, if you try to hide, you might still be killed by some passing ruffians."

"If you're even more unlucky, two strong cultivators might battle, and the aftermath could directly kill you."

”

"That... what about you?"

"Or rather, if you don’t have enough strength, how will you protect yourself?"

"If you can’t protect yourself, and you die, won’t you be unable to fish anymore?"

"This..."

The Fishing Master scratched his head: "Is this really true?"

"Chinese don’t lie to Chinese."

"..."

The Fishing Master was flustered but not overly panicked: "I still have that turtle shell from before. It’s said to be an excellent defensive treasure. I can hide in it when there’s danger, right?"

"Can others not drag you out once you’re inside?"

Lu Ming tried to suppress his laughter: "Moreover, are you sure you have enough time to hide inside it before the danger arrives?"

"This..." The Fishing Master hesitated.

"Let’s give it a try."

Lu Ming suggested: "I’ll pretend to want to kill you, and you try to hide in the turtle shell. We’ll see if you have enough time."

"That... it’s okay!"

The Fishing Master decided to follow Lu Ming’s advice.

Because he was afraid of dying!

Not just afraid of dying, but if he died, how could he continue fishing?

Wouldn’t that be the end of his life?

If someone told him he could still fish after dying, he wouldn’t panic at all!

...

Bang!

A massive turtle shell landed on the ground.

"Is this a spatial item?"

Lu Ming looked at the ‘box’ under the Fishing Master’s crotch.

So, there really is a system, huh?

"Are you ready?"

Lu Ming reminded him.

The Fishing Master stuck his fishing rod into a crack in the rock: "Come on!"

He was prepared, aiming at the turtle shell’s ‘entrance,’ ready to dive in at any moment.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The countdown ended, and the Fishing Master immediately tried to dive in, but he found himself ‘stuck’ in place, unable to move at all.

He couldn’t control his body at all, as if he were experiencing ‘sleep paralysis,’ unable to move!

At the same time,

Lu Ming approached slowly.

His speed was really slow.

But compared to the immobile Fishing Master, it was already ‘lightning fast’!

He leisurely walked to the turtle shell, raised his hand, and slapped it down.

Boom!!

The turtle shell, which was many times harder than steel, instantly shattered into pieces.

The Fishing Master: "..."

He regained his freedom.

But he looked at Lu Ming as if he had seen a ghost.

"It’s obvious."

Lu Ming spread his hands: "Your speed is too slow, and you can’t make it in time."

"It’s not that my speed is slow, you froze me!"

"Is it a body immobilization spell?!" The Fishing Master was unconvinced.

"No, no, no. I used no spells, just Essence Energy to trap you. It’s the simplest method, and even second-level cultivators can do it."

"After all, you’re just an ordinary person."

"And the defensive treasure you originally had is gone. It seems it wasn’t as strong as you thought. I only used a fraction of my strength."

Lu Ming sincerely said he wasn’t trying to be mean.

"To apologize, I can compensate you with a wearable defensive treasure, but to be honest, with your ordinary human physique, even the best treasure won’t help much."

He shook his head, expressing regret.

"Ah."

Then, he took out a special defensive item.

No need to activate it; it would automatically activate when in danger.

When worn, it didn’t look out of place, but... this kind of equipment wasn’t that strong.

"Since you’re an ordinary person, you can’t activate it, so you can only use this passive equipment. It’s definitely better than your turtle shell, but it’s not much better."

"It’s better than nothing, though."

"Since we’re fellow countrymen, I’ll give it to you."

"I hope you can survive."

"To live through this golden age, perhaps we’ll meet again."

Lu Ming smiled gently.

Suddenly, he felt a heavy pull on his fishing rod.

"..."

"Got a bite?"

Whoosh!

He pulled violently!

A fish weighing twenty to thirty pounds struggled wildly but was effortlessly pulled up by Lu Ming, splashing water everywhere.

"Not bad luck."

Lu Ming laughed heartily.

The Fishing Master, envious in his silence, couldn’t help but say: "Beginner’s luck?"

"Maybe, but I think it has to do with the bait."

"Bait?"

"Right." Lu Ming smiled: "You saw, I didn’t use any special method to attract fish, so I’m not some so-called ‘fishing god.’”

"But my bait is monster meat."

"Everything has a spirit."

"Monster meat, to ordinary animals and humans, is a great tonic. Naturally, they will rush to ‘take the bait.’”

"I’m a cultivator, and hunting ordinary monsters is easy. Using them as bait doesn’t bother me at all."

"With such excellent bait, why worry about not catching fish?"

Hearing this, the Fishing Master envied even more and said: "You... this..."

"Isn’t this a cheat?"

"Nonsense."

Lu Ming shook his head: "I killed the monsters with my own abilities, how can that be a cheat?"

The Fishing Master: "..."

Your logic is so sound, I have no words to counter!

For a moment, he hesitated.

Previously, he had only interacted with ordinary people, so he hadn’t noticed.

But after listening to Lu Ming, he realized how dangerous this world was!

And fishing...

Monster meat has such an effect?

Even though it seems like a cheat...

But who wouldn’t want such a cheat?

So...

Should he start cultivating?

"..."

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Ming decided to add fuel to the fire: "Brother, meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land is a happy occasion, but I have things to do, so I’ll be going."

"I hope you can survive, and we might meet again."

Lu Ming, holding the big fish, turned around with a happy smile: "Speaking of which, I haven’t had fish in a long time. I’ll try it today."

Seeing Lu Ming about to leave, the Fishing Master finally panicked.

"Wait!"

"Big brother, hold on!"

He rushed over and stopped Lu Ming, asking anxiously: "If I start cultivating... will it interfere with my fishing?"

"Are you planning to fish for 24 hours a day?" Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

"That's impossible. Maybe 17 or 18 hours at most. I still need to sleep, or I might die from overwork." The Fishing Master indicated that he wasn't that 'mad'.

Who in their right mind would fish for 24 hours straight?

"Then what's the problem?" Lu Ming expressed his confusion. "Is cultivation something so inconvenient?"

"Once you reach the second level, you can cultivate while sleeping. Not only will it not affect your sleep, but you'll feel refreshed and energized after cultivating, even more so than after a good night's rest."

"If you prefer night fishing, cultivate during the day, or cultivate at night. Not only will it not hinder your fishing, but it will also make you stronger, and you'll be 'cheating' directly."

"Is that possible?!"

Astonishment!

At the same time, the Fishing Master's heart was deeply moved.

If that's the case, it seems there's indeed no problem!

"Why not?"

Lu Ming replied, "At most, you just don't have enough cultivation time, and your progress will be a bit slower. But it's still much better than being an ordinary person."

"That's true."

The Fishing Master rubbed his hands, "Well, brother, I was in the wrong before. I spoke too loudly, and now I apologize and ask for your forgiveness."

"What I meant was..."

"You seemed to have said that my talent for cultivation is not bad."

"I wonder if..."

"Yes."

Lu Ming didn't continue with his usual play of hard-to-get. "You should possess some kind of spiritual body, but I can't tell what kind it is right now."

"What kind of spiritual body?"

The Fishing Master shook his head. "Brother, you've got it wrong!"

"I'm not a spiritual body, but a Sacred Body!"

"A Sacred Body?" Lu Ming was astonished.

"Yes!"

"A Fishing Sacred Body!"

"When I crossed over, I had an innate talent, but this thing doesn't seem to have much to do with cultivation, right? It can only provide a lot of help for my fishing."

Lu Ming: "!!!"

Wow!

I couldn't help but exclaim, and there's such a Sacred Body?

Impossible!

But this did explain why I couldn't see through what kind of spiritual body he was.

So, it's this peculiar 'Sacred Body'. Who could possibly see through that?

Just recognizing his extraordinary physique was already a 'boast' for me.

"That's not how you should not be said like that."

Lu Ming pondered, "Since it's a Sacred Body, it will definitely aid in cultivation. However, it might not reach the level of a typical 'cultivation-type Sacred Body', and should be similar to an ordinary spiritual body."

"That's fine. A spiritual body is one in a million, or even rarer, and it's very suitable for cultivation."

"Moreover, you can already fish in the multiverse. This Fishing Sacred Body can provide tremendous assistance, and with the two complementing each other, there will be remarkable effects."

"Speaking of which, if you have this golden finger and don't cultivate, it's a waste of heaven's gift!"

"How were you thinking before?"

Lu Ming felt a bit of regret.

Such a good cheat!

He didn't know how to cherish it!

"Before... cough, before I didn't understand or know about it..."

"Now I understand."

"This cultivation path, one must cultivate."

"You should have cultivated from the start."

Lu Ming stretched lazily, "If you want to cultivate, I'll guide you in. But the prerequisite is that you need to take me as your teacher, or join my sect."

"If you feel embarrassed or awkward calling me your teacher because I'm younger than you, you can directly join my sect without taking me as your teacher."

"..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

The Fishing Master indicated that he wasn't a fool, "You said yourself that you're a sect leader, so you must know that following a strong cultivator is the way to progress."

"Since you've decided to cultivate, it's natural to follow a stronger cultivator."

"As the saying goes, the accomplished one becomes the teacher. When I learned fishing, my teacher was only in his early twenties, and I'm already in my thirties."

"So, who calls their teacher more loudly than anyone else?"

At this moment, the Fishing Master even felt a bit proud.

"Alright, you decide."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "By the way, my real name is Lin Fan, the sect leader of the Southwest Region's Bright Moon Sect. This is the appearance I've transformed into, and this identity is named Lu Ming. This is an absolute secret, and you must not reveal it."

"I'll remember!"

The Fishing Master responded solemnly and said, "My name is He Qiang."

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Then he exclaimed, "He... He Qiang?!"

"Wow... He Qiang?!"

Damn!

I couldn't help but exclaim, and who doesn't know the value of the name He Qiang?

Or should I say, who in the fishing world doesn't know of He Tian Di's name and his prowess? Who dares to say that the human race lacks a Great Emperor? He Qiang, the legendary master fisherman, is a name that resounded like thunder in the Earth's time and space before Lin Fan's crossing over, even if he wasn't part of the fishing circle.

But...

He never expected that the Fishing Master template he encountered would actually be named He Qiang!!!

"That's also true."

"If we're talking about who is most qualified to possess the Fishing Master template, it should indeed be him, right?"

After all, this is He Tian Di!

Just the name He Qiang is enough to prove his 'strength'!
