Chapter 133: Discussing with Jizi

The son of the human emperor.

Compared with the descendants of the ancient emperor, their experiences can be described as miserable.

In the Northern Territory, all the sons of the ancient Jiang family left behind by Emperor Hengyu died in the dark turmoil of the past.

In the Southern Region, of the ancient Ji family left behind by the Void Emperor, only Ji Zi, the emperor's biological son, is left.

As for the four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou, Guhua, Daxia, Jiuli and Shenzhou, no emperor's sons were left in the future generations. It is unknown whether they died in the battle or did not leave any emperor's sons.

Among the forces that have produced human emperors, the descendants of Queen Mother West of Yao Chi have not experienced the dark turmoil. Or perhaps they have, but were destroyed by the powerful Emperor Wu Shi.

As the son of the Western Emperor, Emperor Wu Shi not only achieved enlightenment successfully, but also became one of the most powerful emperors in ancient times, so powerful that the forbidden areas of life had to be sealed by themselves.

Compared with the Western Emperor’s high expectations for the Wushi Emperor, “even if he cannot establish the Heavenly Palace, he can become an immortal.”

The Void Emperor's expectations for Ji Zi were much weaker. The main purpose of sealing him in this world was not to allow Ji Zi to achieve enlightenment in the future, but to allow him to be born at a critical moment to quell the dark turmoil launched by the creatures in the forbidden area.

During the practice of cultivation, the powerful blood force of the emperor and his sons made them seem to have no bottlenecks. In a very short period of time, they could improve their cultivation to a level that would make ordinary cultivators despair.

During his communication with Ji Zi, Li Zhi learned that less than a year had passed since he recovered from the divine source, and his cultivation had risen from the level of great perfection in the Dao Palace Secret Realm to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

The reason why he was sealed in the Divine Source at the level of Great Perfection in the Dao Palace was because Emperor Void did not want any traces of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the ancient times to remain in his body.

Li Zhi understood the deep meaning of what Emperor Void did, which was to allow Ji Zi to quickly adapt to the current cultivation environment after she was born.

And it will not be affected by the laws of heaven and earth in ancient times.

Inside the Void Ancient Palace, Li Zhi and Ji Zi were drinking tea and discussing philosophy. Ji Zi also asked about Li Zhi's identity and origin at the right time.

"I see that your energy and blood are like a dragon, far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. I wonder where your master came from?"

"I am a casual cultivator. I picked up some ancient inheritances and embarked on the path of cultivation. I also gained some opportunities and fortune in other places, and met some enthusiastic seniors and great men. Only then did I achieve my current level of cultivation. To be honest, I have never heard a senior preach to me specifically." Li Zhi said.

"I see that you are only about twelve or thirteen years old, but why do your behaviors are far from childish?" Ji Zi asked curiously.

"I'm sorry to have laughed at you, fellow Taoist. When I started on the path of cultivation, I was fortunate enough to be able to regain my youth. I am not just a boy of twelve or thirteen years old." Li Zhi said.

Ji Zi nodded slightly, which resolved some of the doubts in her heart, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Changshou has a very solid foundation, which is not weaker than any heir of any major power in the world. How about you and I discuss the Dao in this Void Ancient Palace for a while?"

"I wonder if I could borrow the cultivation scriptures or the cultivation notes of the saints collected by the Ji family?" Li Zhi felt that since Emperor Void had made arrangements, it should not end there and directly send him out, so he asked presumptuously.

Hearing this, Ji Zi said without any hesitation: "Since you have successfully walked out of the Immortal Mountain, you are a distinguished guest of my Ji family. In addition to the "Void Sutra", you can read the collection of my Ji family. If you are willing to learn the "Void Sutra", I am also willing to teach it to you."

Ji Zi could see that Li Zhi was not the kind of person who treated the common people as nothing. He was worth making friends with and perhaps he could become the main force in suppressing the dark turmoil in the future.

Moreover, the ancient races are about to revive. If there are no extremely powerful people among the human race, it will be impossible to suppress the arrogance of those ancient creatures.

In Ji Zi's opinion, Li Zhi is a potential top-notch warrior and is worth investing in.

Just like the Jiang family's God King Jiang Taixu was willing to invest in Ye Fan, it was not just to repay a favor, but also because he did not want to see a top-notch talent stop moving forward.

The mastery of the Holy Body can protect the world's peace, and its deterrent power is far more powerful than Jiang Taixu's mere Divine King Body.

Even if he becomes a saint, a great saint, or a quasi-emperor, he is far from having the deterrent power of a great saint.

It is not just talk that the Great Saint Body can challenge the Great Emperor. There are real battle examples to prove it.

Li Zhi was slightly shocked by Ji Zi's generosity, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I already have a cultivation scripture, and it is just right for my physique, so there is no need to change it. Now in terms of cultivation, I just lack some insights from the predecessors."

Then, Ji Zi said, "I wonder if Taoist Changshou can have a discussion with me?"

It has been less than a year since Ji Zi broke free from the divine source, and she has no plans to go out for training for the time being.

Moreover, it is not convenient for him to expose himself in front of outsiders now. In the Ji family, not everyone knows about Ji Zi's existence.

They are all veterans and powerful people, and they will not reveal his identity to others.

Therefore, Ji Zi also lacked the necessary opportunities to communicate with his peers, and among his peers, except for a few monks who could be his opponent, almost no one could be his rival.

The powerful bloodline power makes it so that no one in the younger generation of the Ji family can be his rival.

Even Ji Haoyue, the famous God King Body in the East Wilderness, is not worthy of being Ji Zi's sparring partner.

The appearance of Li Zhi just solved what Ji Zi lacked most: competition among peers of the same age and level.

This kind of exchange is completely different from exchanges with powerful people, and it is more likely to trigger inspiration.

Although his cultivation was at the second level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, Li Zhi was not weak either, and had already perfected the four extremes.

And Li Zhi's physical body is obviously stronger than his.

So Ji Zi wanted to have a good discussion with Li Zhi.

After hearing Ji Zi's invitation, Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he said, "As long as Fellow Daoist Ji doesn't despise my shallow cultivation, I am willing to learn from you."

In the Four Poles Secret Realm, Li Zhi lacked the necessary battles.

As the biological son of the Void Emperor, Ji Zi is much stronger than those saints and holy maidens out there. If he is willing to be his sparring partner, that would be the best thing.

Fighting with a master will gain you much more than fighting with a hundred ordinary people.

Today, in this vast land of Eastern Wilderness, the only people who are qualified to be Li Zhi's opponents are Ye Fan, Yaoguang Saint and a few others.

And as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer people who are qualified to be his opponents.

Soon, there will be no one in the younger generation who can match him.

Since entering the Four Poles Secret Realm, Li Zhi's practice has made rapid progress, and he finally showed the strength of the great perfection foundation forged after nine transformations.

From the first time entering the Four Poles Secret Realm to the current perfection of the Four Poles Secret Realm, it took less than a year in total.

Although practicing under the ancient tea tree had a beneficial effect, his own understanding of the laws of nature actually played a key role.

Under normal circumstances, meditating under the ancient tea tree for an hour is equivalent to a month of practice in the outside world.

Li Zhi practiced under the ancient tea tree for more than one hour, but more than a hundred hours.

All in all it took more than a month.

Moreover, the "immortal tree" in the secret realm of Lunhai was blessed by the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, allowing it to possess some basic abilities of the ancient tea tree of enlightenment.

Not only can it capture the myriad ways of heaven and earth, but it can also help him attain enlightenment directly.

It was as if he was carrying a weakened version of the ancient enlightenment tea tree with him, and just one tea leaf of enlightenment could allow him to enter the realm of enlightenment.

That immortal tree had such a powerful effect that Li Zhi even wondered if it was something that evolved from the Dao seeds of the Wandao Tree from the ancient times.

Of course, Li Zhi’s current cultivation is still too weak, and he doesn’t know what its essence is.

For example, he still doesn't know whether the three-story altar in the Lunhai Secret Realm has any connection with the strange clan.

Li Zhi did not need to go to the Ji family's scripture library to look up the sages' practice notes he needed.

Within the Ancient Palace of the Void, there is a place specially opened up by the Void Emperor to store various cultivation books.

After more than a hundred thousand years of unremitting efforts by the disciples of the Ji family, the Buddhist scriptures inside have become extremely rich.

Even the incomplete ancient scripture of the Great Emperor has seven volumes.

Among them are one volume of "Tao Jing", two volumes of "Tai Yin Zhen Jing", one volume of "Tai Yang Zhen Jing", two volumes of ancient scriptures of unknown emperors, and one volume of cultivation scriptures suspected to be from the Taikoo Emperor.

There are also numerous other scriptures.

There are also some saints' scriptures, great holy scriptures and quasi-emperor scriptures collected from outside, but most of them are incomplete.

Among them, the saints' scriptures are the most complete and the most diverse. There are more than thirty volumes of complete saints' scriptures and more than ten volumes of complete great holy scriptures.

At first Li Zhi found it a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was normal.

The vast majority of cultivators who can cultivate to the saintly realm will try to create their own ancient scriptures to find their own path.

Instead of practicing the skills left by predecessors.

Even if the scriptures they created themselves are far inferior to the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor, once they create their own sage scriptures, it means they have walked out of their own path.

There will be opportunities to prove the truth only in the future.

There is also a saying in the spiritual world: Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.

When practicing the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor, it is impossible to attain enlightenment unless one can understand the scriptures to a level that surpasses the Great Emperor who created the ancient scriptures.

But looking back at ancient history, how many people like this are there?

Looking through the history of ancient and modern times, I'm afraid you can count them on one hand.

Therefore, looking around the world, there is no shortage of scriptures by saints.

Even if you expand your vision to the entire universe, you will find no lack of quasi-emperor scriptures.

For every great emperor born in history, there are at least a dozen, and at most dozens of quasi-emperors who serve as supporting roles on the road to becoming the great emperor.

The vast majority of them will create their own peerless ancient scriptures.

Gai Jiuyou who lived eight thousand years ago is the most typical example. The "Jiuyou Fairy Song" he created is only slightly inferior to those ancient scriptures of the great emperors.

But among the levels below the quasi-emperor, how many people can distinguish the strengths and weaknesses between "Nine Nether Immortal Song" and other ancient scriptures of the great emperors?

Throughout history, there are definitely more quasi-emperors like Gai Jiuyou, who have reached the ninth level of quasi-emperor cultivation and are trying to achieve enlightenment, than there are great emperors who can achieve enlightenment and become emperors.

Therefore, looking at the entire universe, the number of Quasi-Emperor Scriptures far exceeds that of Great Emperor Scriptures. The field of vision was narrowed back to the Ancient Star of the Big Dipper.

Throughout history, the number of powerful people who can become saints is far greater than the number of powerful people who can become great saints.

Li Zhi no longer found it surprising that the Ji family was able to collect so many complete scriptures on the practice of saints.

There are highs and lows in the world of cultivation. During the lows, cultivation is relatively difficult, and becoming a saint is a very difficult thing. However, when the great era of cultivation arrives, cultivation will become a lot simpler.

Those who could only become powerful in the past will have the possibility to enter the realm of king.

And those kings also have a great probability of breaking through the barriers of the holy path and becoming saints.

In fact, becoming a saint is already the manifestation of the fruit of a cultivator’s first stage of practice, and can also be considered a kind of enlightenment.

Therefore, there is a huge difference in strength between a saint and a king.

Even if ten kings join forces, they may not be a match for a saint.

It is like the gap between the Great Emperor and the Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven. There is a huge chasm that is bottomless.

This is the gap between enlightenment and non-enlightenment.

In Li Zhi's opinion, cultivating to the saint realm is the first time for a cultivator to achieve enlightenment. After cultivating to the great saint realm, it is the second time to achieve enlightenment. After cultivating to the quasi-emperor realm, it is the third time to achieve enlightenment.

After becoming the Great Emperor, he attained enlightenment for the fourth time.

If he can break away from the Heavenly Heart Seal in the future without falling from the throne, it will be considered his fifth enlightenment.

If he could achieve enlightenment once more at this time, the fruit of the Tao that he would produce would probably be comparable to that of a true immortal.

In the big world where becoming an immortal is allowed, this kind of cultivator can successfully overcome the calamity of becoming an immortal and become a true immortal.

However, in this world where it is impossible to become an immortal, there is also the strength to break through the boundary wall and leave this world. You can go to the vast chaotic sea to find a world with immortal matter.

Li Zhi knew that outside the universe, there were even larger groups of worlds, and this was not the only place for living beings to inhabit.

After seeing the many scriptures treasured by the Ji family in the Void Ancient Palace, Li Zhi’s thoughts flew to who knows where.

His eyes were lifeless, as if he was wandering in space.

His abnormal behavior made Ji Zi beside him quite strange. Logically speaking, any cultivator who entered the Ji family's scripture library would be attracted by the scriptures here.

But Li Zhi was distracted, which made Ji Zi a little confused.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, are you okay?" Ji Zi finally shouted.

"I'm fine." Li Zhi came back to his senses in an instant, and then praised: "Fellow Daoist Ji Zi, your Ji family is worthy of being an ancient family. The scriptures in the Sutra Library are probably only comparable to those of a few other families."

Ji Zi was not proud of this, but looked a little disappointed, and said: "So what if we are from an ancient family? Facing the supreme existence in the Immortal Mountain, even my father had to fight to the last moment. Fellow Daoist Changshou, you can read these scriptures."

Seeing Ji Zi's reaction, Li Zhi comforted her: "The golden age is coming soon. You and I should practice hard. Maybe one day we can pacify the Immortal Mountain and end this forbidden zone of life."

In fact, Li Zhi knew that as long as this world still could not achieve immortality in the future, the forbidden zone of life would not become extinct.

Even if all the forbidden zones of life are destroyed within a period of time, those emperors who see no hope of becoming immortals will establish forbidden zones of life again in the future.

And it will be even darker than the current life forbidden zone.

Because when Ye Fan and others enter the fairyland in the future, they will take away too many unique fortunes in this world, such as most of the immortal elixirs, and fairy artifacts such as the Desolate Tower and the Fairy Bell.

However, this thought only flashed through Li Zhi's mind.

Afterwards, he began to read the Ji family's exquisite collection of Buddhist scriptures.

Li Zhi did not start by flipping through the ancient scriptures of the great emperors, but started by reading the practice notes of the powerful.

It took him seventeen full days to memorize all the scriptures in the Sutra Repository, although he only memorized them in his mind.

But as his cultivation level improves, these scriptures will become food for his growth.

In the future, there will no longer be any lack of obstacles in terms of spiritual practice experience before becoming a saint.

After leaving the Sutra Library in the Void Ancient Palace, Li Zhi said to Ji Zi: "Let's stretch our muscles."

Ji Zi nodded and said, "In the depths of the void, there is an arena built by my father himself. It is big enough for us to let go and fight."

Li Zhi said, "Okay, let's go there."

Afterwards, the two of them turned into streams of light and disappeared directly from the hall, entering the depths of the starry void.

There indeed was an arena made of condensed stars.

Standing on it, it feels like standing on a real star.

At this moment, the Void Realm suddenly appeared above the arena, shooting down a beam of void power, directly activating the arena.

The two of them suddenly felt that the surroundings became infinitely vast, as if picking stars or the moon was no problem.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I'm sorry." Li Zhi said after bowing to Ji Zi.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, please come in." Ji Zi also stared at Li Zhi with a serious expression.

Although his cultivation was two levels higher than Li Zhi's, he did not dare to be careless at all.

There were no outsiders here except him and Ji Zi, so Li Zhi had no need to hide at all. The overwhelming life essence and blood power directly transformed into a dragon and a phoenix, hovering behind his head.

The real dragon represents Li Zhi's divine power, and the real phoenix represents Li Zhi's strong vitality.

A look of caution flashed across Ji Zi's eyes, and then the divine power in his body surged, the power of his blood boiled, and the power of the void around him directly condensed into a divine monument in his hands, exuding a heart-pounding and powerful aura.

"war!"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

A fierce battle like Mars hitting the Earth began.

Li Zhi used seven free-hand fighting styles to fight Ji Zi head-on. Sometimes he used the Hercules Fist to deal with Ji Zi's Great Handprint of the Void, sometimes he used the Sky-Turning Divine Palm to deal with Ji Zi's Innate Taixu Gangqi, and sometimes he used the Life-Severing Divine Finger to fight Ji Zi's Sky-Cutting Finger head-on.

And these are just appetizers for the two to warm up.

What really caused a fierce collision was the contest between the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers released by Li Zhi and Ji Zi's Monument of the Void.

It's a head-on competition of the highest level.

The battle lasted only an hour before it ended.

Li Zhi was at a disadvantage.

Compared with Ji Zi's endless void magic, Li Zhi's means of fighting the enemy seemed too simple.

There are only seven free-hand moves.

Ji Zi also saw the problem with Li Zhi. After the first round of competition, she said, "Fellow Daoist Changshou, your physique and Daoist skills are both top-notch, but the level of your magical skills does not seem to match your cultivation."

Li Zhi said, "It's okay. I saw so many magical skills in the Tibetan scriptures before. I will soon integrate them into my seven-style free-hand fighting. Let's fight again in three days."

Ji Zi had a deep understanding of Li Zhi's comprehension, and Li Zhi also had the enlightenment tea to assist him in his practice, so his lack of means against the enemy would soon be made up.

Moreover, Ji Zi discovered that Li Zhi's fighting style was to use force to overwhelm others.

He believed that as long as Li Zhi integrated his own magical powers into the seven free-hand fighting styles, their power would increase dramatically.

Although he was two levels higher than Li Zhi, he did not have the absolute upper hand in the first competition, which made Ji Zi a little anxious.

In the following three days, the two of them directly consumed the enlightenment tea and began to practice enlightenment.

There is no lack of spiritual energy in the ancient temple built by Emperor Void himself. It is no less than any other holy place for cultivation in the world. Even the concentration of spiritual energy is not inferior to that in the outer area of ​​Immortal Mountain.

Although that little empty world has not been explored.

But Li Zhi knew that there must be a big secret of the Ji family hidden inside, and even the Ji family’s background might be sealed in the depths of the ancient palace of the void.

In this way, Li Zhi and Ji Zi had a small battle every three days and a big battle every seven days.

The battle lasted for half a year.

Both of them felt like they were reborn. Although their realm had not improved significantly, their understanding of the Tao had made great progress. They only needed a period of closed-door practice to soar into the sky.

Li Zhi's cultivation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm was also greatly consolidated during the battle. He could enter the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm at any time, and his combat power improved by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, he could easily defeat ten of his former selves.

After incorporating many magical skills and techniques, the Seven-style Free-hand Fighting has also undergone several iterations and upgrades.

Hercules' Fist can even instantly amplify his strength six times.

You know, the "皆" secret among the Nine Secrets only increases the combat power tenfold, and after Li Zhi, under the guidance of the "皆" secret and integrating many boxing techniques, the Hercules Fist can amplify the punching power six times, which is already an extremely terrifying thing.

And this is not the limit. One day in the future, Li Zhi will evolve this boxing style to a level that can rival the Jie Zi Mi, which has ten times the effect.

Li Zhi's ultimate goal is not just to have ten times the effect of the Jie character secret, but more.

After half a year of fierce competition, he had a new plan for the future of the Seven Styles of Free Fighting, aiming to make them comparable to or even surpass the Nine Secrets.

Just like the ruthless emperor, he created a secret method that could withstand or even surpass the Nine Secrets.
