Chapter 121: Holy Spirit Life-Replacing Technique

A shocking thunderstorm shook the southern region.

Just as a young genius was about to rise, he unfortunately fell under a heavenly calamity.

What exactly was the calamity that ultimately led to the young genius's destruction of both body and soul became a hot topic among everyone.

Although the heavenly tribulation occurred right before their eyes, no one saw what the thunder tribulation that led to the death of the young genius looked like.

At that time, those who were very curious and wanted to see the form of the thunder tribulation clearly all died without exception, which added a layer of mystery to the heavy tribulation.

This result made people even more curious about what exactly appeared in the heavenly calamity, which made them unable to even take a second look at it.

For a time, the news of Li Zhi's death in a mysterious natural disaster spread rapidly outward, with Yan State as the center.

Moreover, it was confirmed by the uncle of the Guhua Dynasty himself that the heavenly calamity was even more terrifying than the heavenly calamity that the holy body had experienced when it broke through the holy city.

The last heavenly tribulation that the holy body encountered at that time was a picture of the innate Tao. Although the picture gave people a huge pressure, it did not prevent people from observing it.

The last heavenly tribulation that Li Zhi has to endure is so mysterious that just one glance at it can cause one's mind to become annihilated, which is truly frightening and confusing.

Is it possible that there is a mysterious heavenly calamity in this world that will drag you into disaster as long as you look at it with your eyes?

Just like the divine flower, ordinary cultivators can’t even look at it?
If we want to find the answer, it seems that we can only start from the only blood lotus left in the heavenly calamity.

However, the blood lotus was taken away by the emperor's uncle of the Guhua Dynasty.

Afterwards, many powerful people wanted to see the blood lotus, but they were all rejected by the emperor's uncle of the Guhua Dynasty.

Even the cultivators of the Guhua Dynasty did not stay in Yandu any longer, but returned directly to Zhongzhou.

It also cast a veil of mystery over the thunder disaster.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by another thing.

The Holy Body Ye Fan fought with the people of the Yin-Yang Sect and even killed the Saint Girl of the Yin-Yang Sect.

No matter how hot the dead body is, it is just a passing fad.

But the Holy Body Ye Fan was different. Even though it was rumored that he was about to die, he was still alive and well and wandering around outside.

First, he fought a great battle with Hua Yunfei of Taixuan Sect, and then killed the Holy Maiden of Yin Yang Sect.

He doesn't look like he's seriously injured or dying at all.

So much so that many people didn't believe that he was really injured.

How can someone be so lively and energetic after being injured? Do you really think our IQ is negative?

If this kind of behavior makes people believe that he was injured, wouldn't it be rubbing everyone's IQ into the ground?

No matter how Ye Fan coughed up blood, he looked like his wound had not healed.

Ever since he killed the Holy Maiden of the Yin-Yang Sect, most people no longer believed in his sickly appearance.

In his heart, he secretly cursed the Holy Body for being shameless and not having the demeanor of a strong man at all.

He deceived everyone by faking an injury.

Unfortunately, these discussions only had an impact on the lower-level monks.

As for those young geniuses who were determined to become emperors, they did not act rashly and cause trouble for the Holy Body.

Although they were not sure whether the Holy Body's wounds were truly healed.

In the world of cultivation, only living geniuses are geniuses, and they are the objects of everyone's envy and discussion.

For a dead genius, he is nothing and will soon be forgotten by everyone.

However, within just a few days, no one mentioned Li Zhi's death in the heavenly calamity.

Instead, their attention was focused on the fight between Saint Body Ye Fan and the Yin-Yang Sect.

The Holy Body was truly a killer. He killed a large number of masters of the Yin-Yang Sect as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, and the monks from the Southern Region who watched the killing were simply thrilled.

As for where Li Zhi went, did he really die in the heavenly calamity?
What kind of horrible thing did he encounter during the heavenly tribulation?

Except for a few monks who like to get to the bottom of things, no one cares anymore.

As for where Li Zhi is, just shift your gaze to Lingxu Cave Heaven and you will know.

At this time, deep in Lingxu Cave, in the secret room where the Supreme Elder was in seclusion, the pale-faced Li Zhi was recuperating.

Even though more than half a month had passed since the horrific catastrophe, his spirit was still weak and his breath was intermittent.

What’s even more terrifying is that his head and body seemed to be temporarily joined together.

The head is in danger of falling off the shoulders at any time.

There was a circle of mysterious wounds around his neck, as if his entire head had been chopped off.

At the wound on the neck, there was a mysterious force of law that constantly flashed a strange red light, preventing the wound from healing.

The vast life energy contained in his body didn't seem to be of much help in healing the wound.

The mysterious laws of the Tao constantly eroded his flesh and blood, making the regeneration of his flesh and blood extremely slow.

Finally, Li Zhi's breathing stabilized, and the scars inside his neck seemed to have repaired, so that his head was no longer at risk of falling off his shoulders.

Then, he took out a magic mirror and began to absorb the mysterious principles in the wound.

As the magic mirror took effect, the mysterious Tao was sucked out of his neck bit by bit.

And it was not erased by the magic mirror's divine power. Instead, it was interwoven into a blood-red knife pattern on the mirror surface.

As the mysterious power of laws was continuously absorbed, the wound on Li Zhi's neck was healing rapidly.

Finally, when the knife pattern on the mirror grew to three inches long, the wound on Li Zhi's neck was completely healed.

This magic mirror is none other than the God King's Bone Mirror. Using the Heaven-Devouring Magic Art's mental method to activate this magic mirror, it can unleash extremely astonishing power.

If any other king's magic weapon was used, it would probably be unable to do anything about the mysterious Taoist principles within the wound on Li Zhi's neck.

Looking at the blood-red three-inch knife on the mirror, Li Zhi was still frightened.

He never expected that the legendary guillotine that beheaded the immortals would appear during his heavenly tribulation.

Although it was just a guillotine formed by the interweaving of lightning and the power of laws, and not the real guillotine of the Immortal Beheading, it still almost took Li Zhi's life.

If Li Zhi had not used the Holy Spirit's Life-Substitution Technique at the critical moment, allowing a young genius from the ancient royal family to block the fatal blow aimed at his soul, it would probably not have been a simple loss of his physical body.

But even so, his head was chopped off by the Immortal Guillotine.

Fortunately, his soul was intact and only his head was chopped off, which was not a big problem.

The young genius of the ancient royal family who blocked the fatal sword for Li Zhi was directly turned into ashes under the guillotine, and only a blood lotus was left floating down.

To this day, Li Zhi still doesn't know which ancient emperor the other party's descendant is.

But what is certain is that he is definitely the descendant of the ancient emperor who is sleeping in the Taichu Ancient Mine.

As for the origin of the young genius, it is also very clear.

It came from the source stone that Li Zhi found outside the Taichu Ancient Mine that year.

Not long ago, Li Zhi quietly unlocked the source stone, and then found a young man sleeping in the divine source.

Li Zhi saw the bloodline of the ancient emperor in him.

Originally, he was thinking whether he could dig out the Ancient Imperial Scripture from that young man, but he never thought that this time of tribulation would be so dangerous and he would actually encounter such a terrifying existence as the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine.

As a last resort, Li Zhi could only use the Holy Spirit's Life-Substitution Technique to let the boy take his place under the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine.

I would also like to thank the remaining soul of the Holy Spirit Qilin.

He was lucky enough not to die completely that year, which allowed him to create this secret method of saving life by exchanging one life for another, the Holy Spirit Life-Replacing Technique.

In addition to the secret method of creating the world with one thought, this is another useful secret method that Li Zhi obtained from his remaining soul.

If you want to perform the Holy Spirit's Replacement Technique, you must choose someone with a similar fate.

However, Li Zhi's fate was quite different from that of the young genius, so he could not completely survive the Immortal Slashing Guillotine for him, so his flesh body was still cut by the Immortal Slashing Guillotine once. Fortunately, it was just the Immortal Slashing Guillotine formed by the thunder tribulation and the laws of heaven and earth.

The power was limited, and his life force was too strong, so his body did not die on the spot.

After more than half a month of recovery, he finally came back to life from the brink of death.

After putting away the God King's Bone Mirror, Li Zhi took a magic pill made from holy medicine and began to recover the consumption of his soul.

The Holy Spirit's Life-Replacing Technique is not so easy to perform, and the consumption of the original spirit is extremely terrifying.

Almost in an instant, Li Zhi exhausted all his spiritual power.

Fortunately, his spiritual power was only over-consumed and his soul was not damaged. After taking the elixir, he recovered quickly.

Half a day later, Li Zhi's injuries were completely healed, and his spirit and energy returned to their best condition.

After changing into a brand new Taoist robe, Li Zhi walked out of the secret room.

Outside the secret room, there was an old man who was suppressed by the black ice.

He is the supreme elder of Lingxu Cave Heaven. The cave occupied by Li Zhi is the cave where he usually practices in seclusion.

When Li Zhi came here before, the other party was in seclusion.

Li Zhi directly ordered the guards to seal him up.

Next to the suppressed old man, there was a purple-clothed figure shrouded in black mist standing there quietly, as if standing guard for Li Zhi.

Then, Li Zhi waved his hand, took out the purple jade crystal coffin, and put away the purple-clothed figure.

Afterwards, he unlocked the mysterious ice seal on the old man.

"Who are you?" After the seal on the old man was released, the look of fear on his face still did not disappear. He stared at Li Zhi and asked.

But he only dared to ask, and did not dare to fight with Li Zhi.

He still can't forget the scene of that day.

A headless figure holding his head suddenly appeared in his cave, which scared him.

Before he could react, he was suppressed by a figure shrouded in black mist beside the headless figure.

After that, he knew nothing.

What he said now were still what he wanted to say at that time.

"Wulian Tianzun, I came here without asking for permission and borrowed your secret room to heal my wounds. It was my fault. The situation was urgent and I am sorry for the offense." Li Zhi bowed to the old man and said.

Then, Li Zhi took out a scroll of powerful scriptures and a thousand kilograms of pure source, and presented them to the old man, saying, "This is my reward for borrowing your land. I wonder if you are satisfied."

The old man was unmoved. He looked Li Zhi up and down, with a flash of shock in his eyes. Then he said righteously, "Our Lingxu Dongtian is a sect under the Yaoguang Holy Land. Don't think of using these vulgar things to shut me up. You should go with me to see the head of the sect. I tell you, my Lingxu Dongtian has people in the Yaoguang Holy Land, and you will not be allowed to trample on them at will."

Li Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "The connection you are talking about is that girl named Weiwei, right?"

The old man said proudly, "It's good that you know. Weiwei has been valued by the hidden masters of Yaoguang Holy Land, and will soon become a candidate for the Holy Maiden. Although our Lingxu Dongtian is only a small sect in Yandi, it is not a place where you can act recklessly."

Li Zhi asked, "What do you think?"

The old man said, "Unless you agree to join our Lingxu Cave Heaven, I can make the decision and send you to Yaoguang Holy Land for training. At your age, as long as you follow Weiwei, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

Li Zhi asked curiously, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Weiwei?"

The old man said proudly: "I am her first master."

Then, the old man continued, "I can ignore your unreasonable behavior towards me before, but as long as you agree to join forces with your senior sister and help her gain a foothold in Yaoguang Holy Land, I can even match you two to become Taoist couples."

Li Zhi looked at the old man with horror, frightened by his words, and asked quickly: "Senior, are you kidding? Do you know who I am?"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I am blind? You are only eleven or twelve years old, but I cannot see through you. Your cultivation must be not inferior to mine. And seeing how you are in a hurry, you must be being hunted by someone and have come to hide here with me. Don't worry, kid. I am here to keep you safe. I will send you to Yaoguang Holy Land. Then, your senior sister will take care of you, and those who want to hunt you down will not have the courage to continue to hunt you down."

Li Zhi was a little speechless and said, "Senior, I'd better increase the money. I'll give you a volume of King's Scripture and two thousand kilograms of pure source, and you can just pretend that you have never seen me, how about that?"

The old man pointed at himself and said, "What do you think of my cultivation?"

Li Zhi saw through his cultivation level at a glance and said, "The fifth level of Dao Palace is already the top existence in Yandi."

The old man then asked, "Then how old do you think I am this year?"

Li Zhi didn't quite understand what the old senior meant, but he said, "You are already 235 years old. If you can't continue to break through, I'm afraid you won't live for many more years."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, my life span is less than 20 years. When I was young, I was arrogant and brave, and I thought I was no weaker than anyone. However, I never thought that my life source would be over-consumed, which led to my cultivation reaching the fifth level of the Dao Palace. After more than a hundred years, I have not made any progress."

Li Zhi said: "So?"

The old man said, "So these things of yours have no effect on me. Since Weiwei joined Yaoguang Holy Land, she has also found great scriptures for me, and even sent back hundreds of kilograms of energy and some elixirs. However, after taking those elixirs, I still cannot break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm to prolong my life. Weiwei is alone and weak in Yaoguang Holy Land, and as her master, I cannot help her, and even to a certain extent, I have held her back."

Li Zhi looked at the old man who was talking to himself and said, "Old senior, what do you want to say?"

The old man said, "I know that you are a peerless genius who is not inferior to Weiwei. Listen to me, child. Only by joining a holy land that has the foundation of imperial soldiers to suppress you can you fully develop your talent. Otherwise, you will be like the innate Taoist fetus in the Purple Mansion Holy Land. She has a supreme physique, but because of the poor inheritance, her cultivation is delayed. If she could join the Yaochi Holy Land, her current achievements would probably not be lower than that holy body."

Li Zhi asked curiously, "Did Weiwei tell you this?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Some are, some are not. I have lived for more than 200 years, don't I have any judgment at all?"

Li Zhi asked curiously, "Then do you know that the Holy Body and the great demon Pangbo once practiced in your Lingxu Cave Heaven? Why didn't you try to send them to Yaoguang Holy Land back then?"

The old man said, "More than that, I know that they are all visitors from outside the region. If they had left, I don't know how great a disaster my Lingxu Cave Heaven would have suffered.

Visitors from outside the domain are often people with great karma. They either fly to the sky like a dragon or their souls return to the underworld.

Originally, I had high hopes for Zhang Ningfei, who had walked out of the Ancient Forbidden Zone alive like the Saint Body. I had planned to train him for a while and then send him to the Yaoguang Holy Land for training, but he died unexpectedly during a training session. If you count carefully, most of the visitors from outside the region who walked out of the Ancient Forbidden Zone with the Saint Body Ye Fan are now dead. "

Li Zhi expressed his understanding that the old man knew that Ye Fan and the others were from Earth.

After all, words are not enough, and soul searching is the simplest way to understand their past. These blessed places cannot spend huge costs to cultivate a monk whose origins are a mystery.

Then, Li Zhi asked, "Aren't you curious about my identity? Why do you dare to send me to Yaoguang Holy Land?"

The old man said, "I already know who you are."

Li Zhi was surprised and asked, "You know?"

The old man said mysteriously, "Back then, you were fought over by the Jiang family disciples and Nangong Wentian. I happened to pass by and saw the battle from beginning to end. You are the boy with the immortal body."

Now it was Li Zhi's turn to be confused.

Just now the old man looked as if he didn't know him, but how come after chatting for such a long time he recognized his identity?

Only then did Li Zhi realize that the jade that protected him from disaster had been shattered when he was going through the disaster.

At this moment, he revealed his true face.

At the same time, it also reminded Li Zhi of an extremely important thing, that is, the passers-by in the world of Shrouding the Sky are unfathomable, and it seems that they know all the secrets.

Li Zhi reminded himself again and again that he must never treat them as ordinary passers-by.

Then, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Old senior, thank you for your attention. I will not disturb your practice anymore."

The old man suddenly revealed a mysterious smile that all men understood, and said, "You may not know this yet. Weiwei is a peerless genius with fairy eyes, no worse than the saints in the holy land. When you two walk together in the future, it will definitely be a good story."

Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and said to the old man behind him: "Weiwei, why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately turned his head.

Li Zhi cast a spell to stop the old man and said, "Senior, I'm sorry."

Afterwards, Li Zhi directly cut off his memory of the time since he was suppressed.

Afterwards, he was moved back into the secret room and made to sit there in the same position as he had been during his previous retreat.

It looked like he fell asleep while attaining enlightenment.

Finally, Li Zhi also repaired the Taoist barrier outside the cave.

After doing all this, Li Zhi quietly left Lingxu Cave Heaven, then activated a Xuanyu Platform and left Yan directly.
