82: Chapter 82 Heavenly Secrets and Divine Arts

"This is?" Lin Bei looked at the fishing rod in his hand, momentarily stunned. "It doesn't look like a Saint Weapon, does it?"

Turning his head, he saw Shangguan Yue lightly covering her mouth, her eyes filled with doubt and disbelief.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Do you recognize this?" he asked, puzzled.

"I don't..." Shangguan Yue shook her head, though the doubt in her expression did not fade.

"Brother Lin, do you know why Emperor He was able to become one of the wealthiest Great Emperors in history?"

"It's because of his love for fishing. Rumor has it that after he attained the Dao, he sat cross-legged atop Shudao Mountain and fished alone for three thousand years!"

"A fishing fanatic?" Lin Bei was surprised.

"Naturally, Emperor He didn't fish for fish, but for all things between heaven and earth! No one knows how many rare treasures he fished up and placed on Shudao Mountain..."

"And..." Shangguan Yue continued, "it seems this Great Emperor never refined an extreme dao imperial weapon; his entire Dao was contained within that fishing rod!"

"Uh..." Lin Bei held up the rod. "Are you saying this rod is the one Emperor He used? That's unlikely, isn't it?"

A smile appeared on Shangguan Yue's face.

"Well, if it were anyone else, Yue'er would certainly think it impossible, but since Brother Lin obtained it, Yue'er thinks it's very likely!"

Lin Bei: "(ー_ー)!!"

Ignoring her 'love-struck brain,' he tossed the fishing rod out casually with a hint of interest.

Back on Blue Star, he had been passionate about extreme sports and had never fished, but he had heard the legends of fishing fanatics.

They were a group of people that even those in the extreme sports circle admired.

At that moment, a magical scene occurred.

Where the hook fell, a black vortex suddenly appeared.

Lin Bei hurriedly pulled back the rod!

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and a graceful figure materialized in front of the group.

The figure appeared somewhat dazed at first, but her gaze quickly landed on Lin Bei.

"Ah! Brother-in-law!"

Lin Bei looked at Luo Qingcheng, who had appeared so prettily before him, and unconsciously touched his face.

He seriously doubted if his disguise had failed! How could these people recognize him one by one!

"Heehee..." Luo Qingcheng seemed to know what Lin Bei was thinking. She happily rushed forward and hugged his arm, squeezing Shangguan Yue to the side.

"Brother-in-law, don't be surprised. Since Sister Qin can remember your scent, naturally I can too! Besides, there's Xiaoyu!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a super-miniature white rabbit on her shoulder.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit opened its eyes, gave him a listless glance, and closed them again.

"Eh? What's wrong with it?" Lin Bei found it strange; this wasn't the rabbit's usual style.

Luo Qingcheng reached out and stroked the Lunar Jade Rabbit's head.

"Don't worry, Brother-in-law. Xiaoyu has been like this since it finished refining the demon god flower you gave it. It says it's evolving!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" At this moment, someone was dissatisfied. "Little sister, you seem to have taken my spot!"

"Mm..." Luo Qingcheng blinked her large, innocent eyes, as if she had only just noticed Shangguan Yue.

"Brother-in-law, who is this big sister?"

She placed a slight emphasis on the word "big."

Chen Ping and Li Qingfeng exchanged a glance and simultaneously moved a bit further away from the trio.

The crowd in the distance couldn't understand the magic of the Empty Hand Skill, so naturally, no one connected the fishing rod that suddenly appeared in Lin Bei's hand to Shudao Mountain.

They simply thought Luo Qingcheng had suddenly teleported there, and a chorus of wails broke out.

"What the hell? Another beauty throwing herself at him?"

"God damn it, this one seems even better-looking than Fairy Yue!"

"I know her! She's Luo Qingcheng from the Luo family, one of the four great beauties of the Eastern Wasteland!"

"Awooo... What a beast! I'm waiting for Wang Teng to come and slap him to death!"

...

Shangguan Yue looked at Luo Qingcheng with a sweet smile and puffed out her chest.

Suddenly, the magnificent curves hidden under her loose Daoist robe were revealed.

Though she was still quite inferior to Qin Xiaobo, she was enough to leave Luo Qingcheng eight streets behind.

"Little sister, it's not always better for everything to be small..."

"Ugh..." Luo Qingcheng was fuming, wishing she could summon Qin Xiaobo on the spot to crush her opponent.

"Alright!" Lin Bei had a headache. Trying his best to look serious, he pulled Shangguan Yue to the other side. "Don't argue, I have something to ask you!"

Luo Qingcheng's appearance had greatly increased his interest in Shangguan Yue.

Was the Heavenly Secret Technique really that magical?

"Sure, Brother Lin can ask whatever he wants..."

"Brother Lin?!" Luo Qingcheng pouted. She wanted to enter the Portable Space to find Qin Xiaobo, but she didn't want to leave her brother-in-law alone with Shangguan Yue.

"Um... Fairy Yue..."

Lin Bei had just opened his mouth when Shangguan Yue interrupted him, "Just call me Yue'er..."

Luo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were almost spitting fire, as if she were about to whip out a giant hammer at any moment.

Seeing this, Lin Bei didn't dare delay and directly took out an immortal bell fragment.

"Yue... Yue'er, can your Heavenly Secret Technique calculate where I can find more of these fragments?"

Shangguan Yue reached out to take the fragment, closed her eyes, and began to perform a strange technique with her hands.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she finally opened her eyes.

"How is it?" Lin Bei asked expectantly.

Shangguan Yue nodded. "Brother Lin, Yue'er can vaguely sense some directions, but they aren't very clear. There's only one place..."

Speaking to this point, she hesitated, unsure whether she should say it.

"Where?" Lin Bei pressed.

"Right there!" Finally, Shangguan Yue pointed to the giant Peak ahead. "Yue'er can clearly feel that there is such a fragment within this Shudao Mountain!"

"Oh?" A sharp light flashed in Lin Bei's eyes.

It made sense; it wouldn't be surprising if someone who fished for thousands of years had caught a few fragments.

He secretly activated the Empty Hand Skill over a dozen times.

Three Saint Herbs and two Saint Weapons were instantly added to his Portable Space.

"Sigh!" Lin Bei shook his head. This situation meant that the immortal bell fragment was likely in a very special location where the Empty Hand Skill was powerless.

"It looks like I have no choice but to charge in this time!"

Having made up his mind, he looked at the several people before him.

"Senior Li, I need to delay for two days. Take Chen Ping and go ahead; we will meet at Sacred Heart Mansion!"

Li Qingfeng was taken aback, then nodded. "Alright..."

He knew that the young man before him was not someone he could see through.

Chen Ping looked at Lin Bei, hesitated slightly, and then bowed to him. "Revered Master, take care!"

Watching the old and young pair fly off into the distance, Lin Bei turned back to the two women.

Just as he was about to speak, the two women actually said in unison, "I'm not leaving! I'll go wherever you go!"

Lin Bei was speechless. He simply waved his hand and sent the two women and the rabbit directly into the Portable Space. Out of sight, out of mind!

Having done this, Lin Bei looked carefully at the giant Peak before him.

The entire Shudao Mountain seemed to be shrouded in a Restriction. Aside from the mountain's outline, one couldn't see the details inside at all.

In a daze, it looked like a demon's gaping maw, waiting for its prey to enter.

With Days Like Years, the System had long since finished its cooldown. Lin Bei was fearless.

...

"Where did Fairy Yue and that Luo family princess go? Why did they suddenly disappear?"

"That guy is flying towards us!"

"What's going on? Only at the Peak of Void Soaring?" As he got closer, these Cultivators finally discovered Lin Bei's cultivation level.

"What does he want to do?!"

Under the disbelieving gazes of these Cultivators, Lin Bei dove headfirst into Shudao Mountain.

"Ding! Death-seeking behavior successfully determined! Rank: Epic!"
