Chapter 502: Nine Sequence Dominion
Chapter 502: Nine Sequence Dominion
Shaking his head, Li Hao didn't want to think about it or deal with such matters anymore. His thoughts just returned to the fishing line when he suddenly felt a bite on the other end!
However, this time the reaction was immense. As soon as it touched the bait, the Primordial Dao, it quickly contracted and flew away.
"Such a quick response!"
Li Hao's eyes widened slightly. He had long sensed that these Primordial Dao had an extremely strong spiritual nature.
Though not living entities, they possessed near-life-like instincts.
Without hesitation, he quickly got up and pursued, his Immortal Power surging and extending to form a longer fishing line.
The prey had just hooked on, but it wasn't securely caught yet, so he needed to avoid yanking too hard and letting it escape.
Whoosh.
He used the Heaven and Earth Traceless technique, swiftly darting toward the depths of the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
Chu Yueli was also heading deeper into the Heavenly Dao Bridge, searching for the Space-Time Origin Dao. The figure flying past her made her pause for a moment. When she saw the young man brush past her without looking back, she felt a surge of annoyance.
In the blink of an eye, Li Hao had vanished from her sight.
Without the use of Immortal Techniques for attacks, Li Hao's speed was incredibly fast. In no time, he reached the other end of the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
Here, the area was shrouded in mist, and even Divine Sense couldn't penetrate it. These mists weren't ordinary steam; they resembled Immortal Power condensed to a certain degree, forming a crystalline mist that was difficult to penetrate with Divine Sense.
When Li Hao arrived, he immediately sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the surroundings. The mist rippled, and it seemed like someone was chasing and dodging inside.
Immortal Techniques condensed here absorbed the Immortal Power from the crystalline mist, making their attacks even more formidable!
Li Hao quickly mobilized more Immortal Power to maintain his Eternal Space-Time Dao Domain, preventing any Immortal Technique attacks from disrupting his fishing.
At that moment, the prey suddenly stopped, and Li Hao felt the fishing line go slack, devoid of any resistance.
A sense of danger immediately washed over Li Hao. His expression changed, but not because the prey had escaped. Instead, it was charging back toward him!
Li Hao abruptly looked up, his eyes shooting out golden Divine Light, piercing through the mist. He could see a vague, menacing shadow rapidly expanding within the mist.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure flickered, his Body Movement Techniques like a phantom, vanishing from his original spot.
Just as he dodged, the shadow shattered the crystalline mist and crashed into the spot where Li Hao had been.
Li Hao turned to look and saw that it was an oddly shaped black hand!
It had no body, only a hand, and two hands were clasped together, resembling outstretched wings in the shadow.
The attack failed, and the hand turned around. Its form began to change, transforming into a sharp blade that lunged straight at Li Hao.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao's face changed, and he quickly swung the fishing line, trying to entangle it. However, the blade only slightly altered its form, and the fishing line passed through it as if it were a wall, unable to bind it.
Whoosh!
Li Hao immediately used his Body Movement Techniques to dodge again, and the blade pursued him with a whistling sound.
"This is a Form Dao?!"
Li Hao kept dodging, sensing the Primordial Dao aura emanating from the blade. This wasn't an attack from a specific entity but the True State of the Primordial Dao itself!
The blade whistled repeatedly, chasing Li Hao, and he narrowly avoided each strike. Suddenly, it transformed, and just as it neared Li Hao, it scattered into a net, aiming to envelop him!
"Space-time!"
Li Hao's face paled. He unleashed Full Power Eruption, and the outline of the Nine Flower Immortal Seal faintly appeared on his forehead. His Ultimate Realm expanded, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image floated behind him, though it didn't fully manifest, merging with his body and boosting his power to new heights.
Time seemed to slow down, and the expanding net enveloped his body. But just like the blade had passed through a wall, Li Hao's body slipped through the net, evading capture. The net had caught a different point in time, but he was no longer there!
"If you catch me with that net, I'll never fish again."
Li Hao turned to look, a cold glint in his eyes. This was a matter of his dignity as a fisher.
If he were truly caught by the other party, and Second Uncle and Old Feng found out, he would be mocked for generations.
"Form Dao..."
Li Hao watched as the large net shrank into a perfect orb, his expression changing slightly. The Form Dao could transform into countless shapes; even if caught by a fishing line, it could disperse or turn into another line to break free.
Compared to other Primordial Dao, the Form Dao was perhaps the hardest prey to hunt.
But... if time itself could be fished, Li Hao had no doubt he could catch this one too.
Whoosh!
Seeing the other party about to strike again, Li Hao's Body Movement Technique changed, allowing him to dodge quickly, his gaze becoming even sharper and more focused.
This intense focus was similar to when he was fully engrossed in a difficult chess game, instinctively channeling all his thoughts to deal with the challenge.
"I can't treat it like a Form Dao. If it can change in countless ways, how is it different from water?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered. He had grasped the Water Origin Dao and the essence of earth.
If the Form Dao was like water, a fishing line couldn't catch water, but what if he fished the entire lake?
"Dao Domain, condense!"
Li Hao's eyes glowed with mystical light, and the Eternal Space-Time Dao Domain suddenly gained a heavy gravitational pull, the power of earth essence acting within the domain.
This gravitational pull made Li Hao's Dao Domain resemble two large bowls, encompassing the entire area.
The Form Dao essence seemed to sense the danger and abruptly transformed into a spiral-shaped spike, piercing toward Li Hao's Dao Domain, trying to break free.
But the power of Time Essence activated at that moment, and the spatial origin power allowed Li Hao to move his body outside the Dao Domain.
In an instant, the Dao Domain became both a prison and a fishing hook!
"Reel in!"
With a single thought, Li Hao's Immortal Power tightened, and the Dao Domain instantly condensed from a range of hundreds of meters to the size of a small ball.
He raised his hand to grasp it, and Immortal Power surged, enveloping the Dao Domain in a blazing inferno, the Fire Dao burning like cooking ingredients.
Inside the sealed Dao Domain, the spiral spike, affected by the Time Essence, moved extremely slowly. As the flames roared, it soon sensed the danger, thrashing about, but the continuously shrinking space made its movement area smaller and smaller, and its power gradually diminished and was absorbed.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's Immortal Power surged into it, forming a large hand that directly grasped it.
A massive amount of Fishing Experience appeared before his eyes, and Li Hao felt his Fishing Dao become more proficient and profound.
Previously, he had fished time and broken through to the 11th rank of Fishing Dao. Now, using space-time as the lure, he had successfully caught the ever-changing Form Dao essence.
Everything could be fished, and Li Hao's understanding of the Fishing Dao deepened significantly.
Perhaps in the future, whenever he fished, prey would automatically take the hook, everything aligning perfectly at the right moment!
"Form Dao essence..."
Li Hao looked at the Form Dao struggling in his palm. It continued to try to change and struggle, like a spiky ball, but Li Hao's Dao Domain covered his hand, preventing its escape.
"This place is indeed interesting."
Li Hao stored the Form Dao essence in the Heavenly Earth Space, forming a miniature Dao Domain as a prison to restrain it.
Although the process was dangerous, it didn't take long. After subduing the Form Dao essence, Li Hao continued fishing.
He didn't return to the middle section of the Heavenly Dao Bridge. In the misty crystalline formations here, the aura of Primordial Dao was even more concentrated.
With the insights gained from his Fishing Form Dao, Li Hao now cast out his space-time as bait, seeking prey in the Primordial Daoflowing light.
Before long, a Primordial Dao was ensnared by his space-time power.
The angler, like one fishing for the moon from the bottom of the sea, acted with ease.
The prey, not summoned, came on its own.
Under the influence of space-time power, Li Hao felt less like he was fishing and more like he was casting a net to catch his quarry.
A great deal of Primordial Daoflowing light was gathered and reeled into his Heavenly Earth Space, as if using the heavens and earth as a fish basket.
These Primordial Dao included the Spear Path, Whip Dao, Wind Dao, Thunder Dao, and many others, all of which were among the myriad paths in the Origin Secret Realm.
With this, he could journey to Chaos Origin City, where divine trees for comprehending the origins of various paths stood.
Li Hao became so engrossed in his fishing that he reeled in a continuous stream of Primordial Dao, pulling them into his Heavenly Earth Space.
Meanwhile, outside the Heavenly Dao Bridge, others searching for the origins of various paths suddenly noticed that the number of Great Daoflowing light on the bridge had diminished. All they could see now were minor paths, not the Nine Sequences they sought.
Coming to the Origin Secret Realm to comprehend minor paths would be a waste.
Every prodigy here knew that while reaching the peak of minor paths could lead to the Immortal King Realm, they would still be outmatched by those who mastered the power of the Nine Sequences within the same realm.
"What’s going on? Where did all the Nine Sequences origins go?"
"We’ll have to search deeper."
"Coming all this way, and we’ve wasted a month here. What bad luck!"
The prodigies on the bridge wore grim expressions, their faces tinged with anxiety.
Deep within the Heavenly Dao Bridge, however, Li Hao continued to fish.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Li Hao sensed a thick and terrifying Primordial Dao aura.
He immediately focused his senses and discovered it was the essence of spatial dao!
After so long, the spatial dao essence had finally appeared.
Li Hao’s eyes gleamed as he quickly moved toward the spatial dao essence, extending his space-time power like a net to ensnare it.
The spatial dao essence also sensed Li Hao’s actions but did not flee. Instead, it lunged at him through the air.
The continuous disappearance of Primordial Dao around it seemed to have angered the spatial dao essence, prompting it to attack the source of all the disturbances.
Beside Li Hao, Immortal Techniques condensed, and he swung the Qing Tian sword. Other Immortal Techniques followed in quick succession.
The spatial dao essence was even more elusive. While the essence of Form Dao was still in a state of transformation, like water, space was formless and intangible.
Li Hao had previously fished a thread of time, using it to ascend his Dao to the 11th segment. Now, he was attempting to fish space for the first time, and not just any space, but the spatial origin.
Even the earth essence he had just deployed could not contain or seal space.
"Space is everywhere..."
Li Hao’s eyes flickered. With his fourth-layer understanding of spatial dao essence, he could capture the spatial origin before him.
However, Li Hao did not intend to use such a crude method. Instead, he used the origins of other Dao Realms to engage the spatial dao in a battle of force.
"Being everywhere makes it hard to transcend time, and being everywhere means it comes uninvited..."
Li Hao’s eyes glinted, and he suddenly struck. Time became a thread, wrapping around the spatial dao essence and quickly binding it.
"Time is inconsequential, but space reigns supreme..."
Li Hao gazed at the spatial dao essence entangled and restrained within the Dao Domain. It was still struggling, but if it were in any other Dao Realm, it might have been difficult to keep it locked down.
Li Hao stored the spatial dao essence in the Heavenly Earth Space. When Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the others pass through the Chaos Secret Realm Trial and enter the Origin Secret Realm, he could share the excess with them.
Having arrived here, Li Hao continued his Fishing.
With his recent insights, Li Hao's space dao realm seemed to have subtly deepened. He could now sense the movements and changes within the misty crystals through his spatial perception.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao noticed two subtle auras hidden within the mist, both of which were Primordial Dao.
His eyes brightened, and he quickly headed toward the two Primordial Dao.
...
While Li Hao was deeply immersed in Fishing Primordial Dao at the depths of the Heavenly Dao Bridge, outside on the bridge, various Immortal Techniques were being unleashed, and more and more people were attempting to climb it.
"What's going on? I can't sense my fire dao origin at all!"
A young man clad in crimson immortal armor stood on the Heavenly Dao Bridge, enveloped in flames. He was releasing his fire path immortal technique to attract the fire dao origin.
Given his fourth-layer Fire Dao Realm, he should have been able to find the fire dao origin quickly.
"The fire dao origin was just taken away and given to someone else. It won't reappear for a while", someone nearby remarked.
The crimson-armored youth was taken aback, his eyes immediately flashing with killing intent. Did this mean he would have to waste more time waiting here?
"Damn it!"
He clenched his fists and cursed, then retreated from the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
As time passed, Li Hao, deep within the Heavenly Dao Bridge, fished out numerous powerful Primordial Dao. He was nearly complete with the Nine Sequences Primordial Dao, including the rarest Time Essence, which he managed to fish after great effort.
His Fishing Experience had accumulated to half a bar in just one short month.
If he continued for another month, his Experience would be maxed out.
However, the most valuable aspect of Fishing here was the insights he gained, which far outweighed the Experience. It was far more beneficial than Fishing Ancestral Dragons or other demonic beasts.
"Only the Metal Origin Dao remains..."
Li Hao himself did not have a Metal Origin Dao domain, so the difficulty in sensing and Fishing the Primordial Dao was significantly higher.
Outside the Heavenly Dao Bridge, a group of figures gathered, all clad in imperial robes. Although the patterns and colors differed slightly from Yan Chui's imperial robe, they were all exquisitely noble.
"What's going on? Why is the bridge so chaotic, with so many people unable to find their Great Dao?"
The leading figure was a woman with a scornful gaze, as ethereal and regal as a celestial fairy. She frowned and stared at the Heavenly Dao Bridge, where Immortal Techniques were continuously exploding.
"Princess Heavenly Pool, we just investigated. It seems the Nine Sequences Primordial Dao has not appeared for a long time, causing them to linger here", someone beside her replied promptly.
"Do they all want to go to the Time-Space Origin City? If they can't sense the space-time essence, it's because their realms are too low. They should go to other Origin Secret Cities instead of causing a commotion here", a young man in an imperial robe said, his face darkening with displeasure.
