Chapter 124 Daoyi Little Heavenly Lord

The "Tao Te Ching" says, "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the rushing qi makes them harmonious." Therefore, the yin and yang of all things in the heaven and earth are united as one, and life and death are the same body. Therefore, by observing the yin and yang, you can obtain all things, and by obtaining all things, you can glimpse the Tao.

The Daojing also says: "There is a thing that was created before the heaven and the earth. It is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and it moves around without end. It can be the mother of heaven and earth. I do not know its name, so I call it Tao. If I force it to be called Da. Da means to pass away, to pass away means to go far away, and to go far away means to return. Therefore, Tao is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and man is also great. There are four great things in the world, and man is one of them. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Therefore, the Tao is invisible, nameless, and shapeless, but it has traces. Everything in the world can be the Tao. Therefore, people live between heaven and earth, and the Tao is hidden around them. If you want to see the Tao, you must enter the world.

Walking on the ancient land of the Central Region, Li Zhi was constantly gaining enlightenment.

Observe all things in the world, observe all aspects of the world, feel the Tao hidden in all things, capture the traces of the Tao in them, summarize and integrate them into your own Tao.

This ultimate feeling of enlightenment is addictive.

With every increase in his cultivation, Li Zhi felt that he was being elevated.

Both his soul and his body were constantly being baptized and strengthened by the great Dao that he had comprehended. It was a feeling of great freedom, great ease, and great joy.

The whole person was shrouded in a hazy aura of Taoism, making it difficult to see clearly.

Even those who are not so advanced in Taoism forget what they see as soon as they see it, and cannot even remember that Li Zhi ever appeared in front of them.

This is the magic of entering the secret realm of the four poles.

The four poles of human beings connect heaven and earth, and it seems that a cultivator can truly live between heaven and earth and communicate with all the ways of heaven and earth.

Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. It seems that this has really been manifested and is no longer an empty talk that cannot be seen or touched.

After leaving the ruins of the Tianxuan Holy Land, Li Zhi only walked in the primitive world of the Central Region for more than a month before he felt that he had touched the second level of the Four Poles Secret Realm.

This speed of practice seems a little too fast to be true.

But it really appeared on Li Zhi, and there was not the slightest sense of vanity.

At this rate of growth, he would be able to break through to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm in less than a year.

It really made him feel the benefits of having a strong foundation.

Li Zhi did not deliberately suppress his own cultivation, but survived a nine-five heavenly tribulation in the wilderness. The power of the heavenly tribulation was very strong. Although there were only five levels, each level of heavenly tribulation had nine levels of heavenly thunder. Li Zhi used the "Red Dust Tribulation" to resist the nine-five heavenly tribulation, and in the end he only suffered some superficial injuries.

This made him even more convinced that this astonishing speed of progress would not lead to an unstable foundation.

He didn't even waste a single bit of thunder power as he refined all of the thunder that struck him into thunder essence and absorbed it.

His physical body had been strengthened greatly, but he had no clear idea to what extent.

However, Li Zhi believed that as long as he could attract a strong heavenly tribulation every time he crossed the tribulation in the future and not harm his origin under the heavenly tribulation, then his accumulation in each realm would be without obvious flaws.

Whenever he felt strenuous during a tribulation, it meant that his accumulation at that level was not enough and needed to be polished again.

As for fighting, Li Zhi felt that it was not necessary for the time being.

The practice below the level of a king is to gain more insights into the laws of nature and heaven. There is not much difference between fighting and not fighting.

Most people who fight are just busy doing nothing, not for enlightenment at all.

After reaching the king level, comprehending the laws of heaven and earth can no longer point out the direction for the cultivator to move forward. In Li Zhi's opinion, it is necessary to engage in fierce battles at this time to trigger the spark of inspiration and make it easier for the cultivator to attain enlightenment.

After surviving the thunder tribulation of a small realm, Li Zhi walked out of the wilderness and came directly to a small town closest to the Immortal Mountain.

Although the city is small, it is still prosperous. Although it cannot compare with the ten ancient cities in the Central Region, it is not a sparsely populated border town.

On the contrary, there are more monks entering and leaving this city than in ordinary cities.

It seems that this small town has become prosperous because of the Immortal Mountain.

The monks coming in and out are indeed of all ages, but most of them are relatively old.

The proportion of young monks is not high.

Li Zhi even saw quite a few old monks who were already emitting a decaying aura and were about to reach the end of their lifespan.

It seems that these old monks came to this city to seek some fortune from the Immortal Mountain in order to prolong their lifespan.

After watching at the city gate for a long time, Li Zhi entered the city wearing a hat he had woven himself, without attracting anyone's attention.

According to his habit whenever he arrived at a new place, Li Zhi first walked around the town. After getting a general understanding of the town's layout, he came to a restaurant where many monks came in and out.

Moreover, in this restaurant, there are a few rare tables of young monks drinking there.

Of course, there are also some old monks gathering there.

Li Zhi chose a table near a busy place, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of spiritual tea, and ate while listening to other people's discussions.

Hearing someone discussing topics related to Wudao Tea, Li Zhi pricked up his ears and listened carefully to their conversation.

"This year's enlightenment tea will mature in a while. I wonder how many leaves will float out of the Immortal Mountain this year."

"Even if all 108 leaves of tea were to float out this year, I'm afraid we wouldn't get any. Nowadays, all the major forces are desperately training their young successors, and all kinds of resources that can improve cultivation have become scarce."

"A few days ago, when I was out, I met a group of cultivators from the Western Desert and the Southern Mountains. Even they couldn't sit still and wanted to come to our Eastern Wasteland to get a piece of the pie. Perhaps after a while, powerful people from various holy places and aristocratic families will come in person to collect the enlightenment tea."

"Everyone knows that Enlightenment Tea is a supreme treasure that assists enlightenment. With the help of Enlightenment Tea, the growth of those young geniuses will be faster and faster. In recent years, the Enlightenment Tea in the Immortal Mountain may not be as abundant as in the past, and people like us can occasionally get a share of it."

"The golden age is about to come, and all the major forces are gearing up to make a big move. But I don't know who will be able to dominate the Eastern Wasteland and become the next invincible God King."

"Who else could it be? It can't be the descendants of those big forces. It can't be those guys in our sect. In my opinion, the people who will be able to dominate the Eastern Wilderness in the future will most likely be born among a few people such as the Holy Son of Yaoguang, the Little Peng King of the Golden Wings, the God King Body of the Ji Family, and the Fenghuang of the Wind Clan."

"My old friend, don't you think highly of the young descendants of the holy places in our Central Region?"

"They are far behind. To be honest, whether it is Daoyi Holy Land, Zifu Holy Land, Wanchu Holy Land, Sixiang Holy Land, or Dayan Holy Land, the thunder tribulations that their saints and saints have gone through after breaking through the four extremes are far from comparable to the thunder tribulations that the saint body Ye Fan went through when he broke through the four extremes. You and I have practiced for hundreds of years, can't we see the difference in their potential? Being able to become a great power in the future is their limit."

"Yes, the thunder tribulation is the best way to test a person's talent. It's a pity for that holy body. If he hadn't been injured, he would probably be the number one genius of our young generation in the Eastern Wasteland."

"Recently, Daoyi Holy Land announced that their little celestial master has begun to travel the world. My dear friends, what do you think about this?"

"Little Heavenly Venerable? To be worthy of such a title, one's talent and cultivation must far surpass their Saint Son and Saint Daughter. However, since Daoyi Holy Land announced it to the public, no one has ever seen the mysterious Little Heavenly Venerable, and many people are skeptical about this news."

"Perhaps the birth of the little Tianzun of Daoyi Holy Land is just the beginning. The major holy lands will gradually put their hidden peerless Tianzun on the table."

"Old He, do you think those holy places are small sects like us? Why would they hide their peerless geniuses? If they had any, they would have brought them out long ago. Those holy places and noble families let the younger generation compete with each other. What are they gaining? It's reputation. Otherwise, with their current cultivation, they don't even need the intervention of a great master. Even if a few of us old guys take action, they won't be able to withstand it."

"Could it be that Daoyi Holy Land, in order to avoid being at a disadvantage when this golden age comes, invented a non-existent Little Heavenly Venerable?"

"There is a real person named Little Heavenly Venerable in Daoyi Holy Land. I got the accurate information yesterday. Just a month ago, Li Donglai, the Holy Son of Daoyi, was defeated miserably by that Little Heavenly Venerable. The opponent only used one move to suppress Li Donglai who had entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm." At this moment, another old man suddenly spoke.

"He suppressed the Saint Son Daoyi with just one move? Even if we want to deal with the Saint Son of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, it is not an easy task. How did he do it?" The others were slightly shocked.

Li Zhi, who was listening to the gossip carefully, was wondering when another little Heavenly Master appeared in Daoyi Holy Land.

But when they said that the Little Heavenly Venerable had suppressed Li Donglai, the Son of Daoyi with one move, Li Zhi suddenly felt like he was eating the melon on his own head.

Daoyi Holy Land is actually serious.

Originally he thought that the other party would calm down after he left, but he never expected that Daoyi Holy Land actually gave him the title of Little Heavenly Venerable and announced it to the world openly.

Li Zhi suddenly felt like his crotch was covered with yellow mud. It was shit at least, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Is this an attempt to impose a fait accompli?
Isn't Daoyi Holy Land afraid of bringing terrible trouble upon itself?

Just when Li Zhi was feeling annoyed, he heard those people continue talking about the "Little Heavenly Venerable".

"Will that little celestial master soon test the world? Challenge the descendants of various forces? The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan will soon celebrate his 1,500th birthday. By then, almost all the young generation of the East Wilderness will be taken there by the elders of each family to celebrate the birthday. They will definitely communicate and learn from each other. Will that little celestial master go?"

"Who knows? I heard that there are only a handful of people in Daoyi Holy Land who have seen the little Tianzun with their own eyes. It is said that the little Tianzun is only a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but he has already reached the level of the Four Extreme Secret Realms."

A group of old men were chatting excitedly, praising the mysterious little Heavenly Master as rare and unrivaled in the world. Li Zhi felt his cheeks getting hot after hearing this, because no one had ever praised him like this in front of him.

Is this what it feels like to be praised?

Even Li Zhi began to imagine what kind of catchy poetic name he would have in the future. For example, one that describes the Great Emperor Wu Shi: "Who is the peak at the end of the immortal road? Once you see Wu Shi, the road becomes empty."

But just as Li Zhi was happily immersed in his fantasy, the young men at the nearby table became unhappy after hearing the unbridled flattery from the group of old men.

Someone immediately shouted, "What Little Heavenly Venerable, Great Heavenly Venerable? They are just fictional characters created by Daoyi Holy Land to flatter itself. Do you dare to bet that after a while, Daoyi Holy Land will announce to the public that their Little Heavenly Venerable has unfortunately died young? This kind of trick has happened before."

"Only people from small sects like you would believe this kind of trick to deceive others." Another young man also spoke to the old men.

The old man at that table was a little unhappy. One of the hot-tempered old men turned around and said to the young people, "Young people, didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt when your elders are talking?"

"What? Do you want to take advantage of your age and seniority in front of us? I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm from the Wind Clan, and the guy next to me is from the Crane Clan. The guy opposite is from the Dayan Holy Land, and the guy on the right is from the Zifu Holy Land. Do you want to teach us a lesson on behalf of our elders?" A young man from the Wind Clan said to the old men with a smile.

In just one sentence, those old men were speechless. They really couldn't afford to offend the disciples of such a powerful force.

Especially since the other party had broken through to the Four Extreme Secret Realms at such a young age, he was obviously not an ordinary disciple of the holy land or the aristocratic family.

Li Zhi's beautiful fantasy was also ruined by their sudden quarrel, and he drank his tea in embarrassment.

And he thought to himself: "My cultivation level has broken through too fast, my Dao heart is unstable, my Dao heart is unstable. When I have the fighting power of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, I will think about the issue of the appearance poem. What a sin, what a sin, it is true that flattery is the most difficult to guard against. Fortunately, I did not accept the invitation of Daoyi Holy Land, otherwise I don’t know how much pomp and circumstance they would have put on. It would be terrible if it turned out to be like Wang Teng. He has a good luck, amazing fortune, and a strong talent, but he was flattered to death by his own family."

After cutting off the delusions in his mind, Li Zhi watched the argument between the two tables with the mentality of a mere spectator.

Facing the provocation of the young men from the Wind Clan, a smile flashed across one of the old men's eyes. He then stared at the four young men and said, "So you are the geniuses from the Wind Clan, Dayan Holy Land, Zifu Holy Land, and the Crane Clan. I'm so sorry, so sorry. Seeing you so angry, do you think you are not as good as the Little Heavenly Venerable?"

“Oh, Daoyi Holy Land found a wild boy from somewhere. If we meet him, we will make him swallow the three words ‘Little Heavenly Venerable’.” The young man from Zifu Holy Land said with disdain.

"You little bullshit Heavenly Venerable! Can just anyone call himself Heavenly Venerable? If Xiang Yiba from Dayan meets him, I will definitely chop him to pieces to vindicate the reputation of Heavenly Venerable." The burly young man from Dayan Holy Land shouted angrily.

"Brother Ba Wang, don't be angry. There is no need to be angry with this unknown boy who popped out of nowhere." The young genius from the Crane Clan said indifferently, as if the so-called Little Heavenly Venerable was just dust on the ground in front of him, and he would lose if he even looked at him.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "After all, it turns out that you are also people who like to talk nonsense. I wonder if the four of you dare to stop that little Tianzun."

The young man from the Wind Clan said casually, "Why not? If he dares to appear in front of us, we will let him know how great a sin it is to call himself the Heavenly Lord."

The old man suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Li Zhi who was eating the melon with gusto, and said: "That little Taoist priest is the Little Heavenly Lord of Daoyi Holy Land. If you have the guts, go and compete with him."

In an instant, everyone in the restaurant focused their attention on Li Zhi.

The fiery gazes seemed to want to strip him naked.

Li Zhi suddenly shuddered and said, "Wulian Tianzun, I have nothing to do with Daoyi Holy Land, and I am not a little Tianzun. Senior, you have recognized the wrong person."

At this time, the old man sent a message to Li Zhi: "Little Taoist priest, I know you are not a Little Heavenly Venerable, but I see that you have an extraordinary bearing and your cultivation seems to be not weak. Please teach these ignorant young people a lesson for us. After the task is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Senior, I am not good at fighting, so I am afraid I can't help you." Li Zhi also responded via voice transmission.

"Little Taoist, the aura of thunder and lightning on your body has not completely dissipated yet. The spirit beast I raise is most sensitive to the aura of thunder and lightning. As soon as you came in just now, it became restless and trembling with fear. It is obvious that you have just survived a powerful thunder and lightning within three days." The old man transmitted the message again.

"Old senior, I am really not good at fighting, and those four are disciples of major forces in the Central Region. I can't afford to offend them." Li Zhi asked again through voice transmission.

"Little Taoist priest, let's put it this way. If you teach them a lesson for me, I will take you to the Immortal Mountain. Maybe you can find a good fortune there. If it were not inconvenient for me to teach them a lesson, I would not let you do it for me. Little Taoist priest, you came to Shouxian City to try your luck and see if you can collect the enlightenment tea.

If you help, I will tell you a secret that will increase your chances of snatching the Enlightenment Tea from those holy land families. I have lived in Shouxian City for most of my life, and my understanding of the periphery of Immortal Mountain is no less than that of those powerful people. How about it, little Taoist priest, do you want to help?"

The old man, whose cultivation level was at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, kept making promises to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's mind moved, and he immediately thought that with this kind of local snake leading the way, he could save himself a lot of trouble. Perhaps he could also get some secret safe paths in and out of the Immortal Mountain from them.

Then Li Zhi agreed to his deal.

When the four young men saw Li Zhi, they burst into laughter.

"Haha, he is the Little Heavenly Venerable? I say, seniors, if you want to save your face here, you should be prepared. You use a child to fool us, aren't you afraid that we will accidentally beat this little Taoist to death?" Xiang Yiba of Dayan Holy Land said in a buzzing voice.

Unlike other people in Dayan Holy Land who practiced the Dayan Holy Sword, he liked using the halberd since he was a child, and even incorporated sword skills into his Overlord Halberd Skills, taking the path of domineering.

Although his cultivation is slightly inferior to that of Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of Dayan, his combat power can still be ranked among the top five among the younger generation of Dayan Holy Land.

Even among the four of them, Xiang Yiba has the highest fighting ability.

The cultivation levels of these four young geniuses seemed to be at the third level of the Four Extremes. The old man told Li Zhi their general situation.

The young man from the Crane Tribe also spoke to Li Zhi and said, "Little Taoist priest, who are you? Lift up your bamboo hat so that everyone can see your true face. Don't let these old guys take advantage of you."

"Wulian Tianzun." Li Zhi lifted his hat and smiled at the four young men.

"Little Taoist, are you really the Little Heavenly Master of Daoyi Holy Land?" A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the young man from the Feng clan.

"My four donors, being young and full of vigor is a good thing, but not being able to recognize the reality is not a good thing. It doesn't matter whether I am the Little Heavenly Venerable of Daoyi Holy Land or not. The main thing is that the old senior promised to reward me and let me teach you a lesson on his behalf." Li Zhi said calmly, and even told them without any concealment that it was the old man who asked him to take action.

"Haha, little Taoist priest, you may be small, but you have a big mouth."

The four young men looked Li Zhi up and down, as if they wanted to see his true confidence.

Then he turned to the old man and said, "You should invite someone decent. It's really despicable to trick an unknown Taoist priest to come and die."

"Wulian Tianzun." Li Zhi didn't want to watch them continue their quarrel, so he shouted a Taoist name to the four of them, and then suddenly slapped them.

The speed was so fast that the four young geniuses didn't even have time to react.

Before they could even curse Li Zhi for not following martial ethics, the palm force fell on them.

The palm power felt as gentle as a breeze blowing on their faces. The four young geniuses were stunned at first. They were originally planning to take action, but stopped abruptly.

He smiled and shouted at Li Zhi: "Little Taoist, how long have you not eaten? You can't use this much strength."

Then he mocked the old man who invited Li Zhi to help, "Old man, this is the helper you invited? Are you here to make fun of me?"

But before they could finish, they felt something was wrong.

It seemed as if the magic power in the body was restrained. His legs began to become weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

And inside their bodies, Li Zhi's palm power had transformed into mysterious chains, sealing up their Wheel Sea Secret Realm, Dao Palace Secret Realm, and Four Poles Secret Realm.

It made their magical powers seem like a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to mobilize even a little bit.

I saw the four young men showing expressions of horror.

Li Zhi said to the old man: "Senior, it's done."

"Damn Taoist, what kind of magic is this? Reveal it to us quickly, otherwise we will not forgive you." The young man from the Wind Clan shouted at Li Zhi with a trace of fear in his eyes.

Li Zhi said, "This is not some magic. It is just what I have learned recently. As long as your cultivation is higher than mine, those chains of laws can be broken in an instant. If your cultivation is not enough, you should go home and ask your parents to help you dissolve the seals in your body. Don't worry, those seals will not kill you. They will only dissolve some of your magic power. If you don't break the seals within ten days, with your current cultivation, you will probably fall down a small realm."

"Haha, little Taoist priest, good job." The old man at that table suddenly laughed happily.

The other diners present also looked at Li Zhi in amazement.

"Old senior, I have finished my work. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise." Li Zhi ignored the shocked looks and said to the old man who transmitted the message to him.

"I'll take you there right away." said the old man, with some sweat on his forehead.

Obviously, he was also shocked by Li Zhi's methods. He even felt a chill in his heart when looking at Li Zhi's handsome face.

It seemed that if he dared to break the appointment, Li Zhi would make him even more miserable than those four young men.

Li Zhi and the old man left the restaurant directly and headed out of the city.

But in the restaurant, a heated discussion broke out.

"Could he really be the Little Heavenly Master of Daoyi Holy Land?" someone said in disbelief.

"Who on earth is that little Taoist priest? He could have easily left four young geniuses powerless to fight back with just one palm strike?"
