Chapter 154: Divine Medicine to Refine the True Dragon
Deep in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, there is the central fairyland where nine dragons gather.
After feeling boundless pressure inside the mini dragon's nest, Li Zhi's mind finally returned from the unknown dimensional world.
When his mind returned, the golden dragon immediately woke up from his slumber.
After opening his eyes, mysterious energies of life and death flowed in the dragon's eyes.
The boundless chaotic energy obscured his vision, and the dark golden dragon energy that originally filled the space had disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?" Li Zhi looked confused.
Then a nine-foot-long golden dragon immediately flew out from the mini dragon's nest. After landing, Li Zhi's true form was revealed.
A crystal ball that recorded images was taken out from the mini dragon's nest. After checking it, he saw the scene of the three-eyed boy bringing Ye Fan, the big black dog and an unfamiliar young man to this place.
"How long have I been sleeping here?" After watching the scene, Li Zhi wondered in his heart, "Could it be that the Peach Festival, which is held once every 500 years in Yaochi Holy Land, has ended?"
Then he waved his hand and put away the Mi Ni Dragon Nest.
Although this dragon's nest is a replica of the Chaos Dragon's Nest, it is more than just a nest. After integrating Li Zhiyi's Feng Shui secrets, it has almost turned into a portable cave.
As long as it is placed in a place with many dragon veins, the ninety-nine giant dragons refined in the dragon's nest will actively absorb dragon energy from all directions for the growth of the cultivators inside.
In the past, the Yuhua Divine Dynasty built a Ninety-nine Dragon Mountain, and controlled the Ninety-nine Dragon Mountain to collect good fortune from all over the universe.
Li Zhi also hopes that one day this mini dragon nest will be able to have a similar function.
After all, the Chaos Dragon's Nest is something that even the ruthless emperor has his eyes on, so even if it is a replica, it must not be too bad.
Although the Dragon Nest is only similar in appearance, after being engraved with the great principles that Li Zhi has realized, it will one day evolve into a Feng Shui treasure.
The ruthless emperor was famous for his high vision.
There are only three or five immortal artifacts in the universe, but she has obtained two of them, a bronze immortal palace and a real immortal sword.
Not to mention, she also possessed several of the nine kinds of immortal gold, and even the root of the mysterious and yellow mother energy of heaven and earth could be given away at will.
It's more than just arrogance.
Li Zhi was slightly surprised when he felt that his own cultivation had suddenly surged to the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Didn’t he just take a nap in the dragon’s nest? How come his cultivation suddenly skyrocketed by three levels and directly reached the state of great perfection of dragon transformation? This is too fast.
What happened?
Thinking carefully, Li Zhi couldn't remember what he did after falling asleep. He just vaguely remembered that he turned into a real dragon and roamed the world.
But I can't recall the specific details.
As soon as he thought about it, the golden dragon in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm flew out from his spine and then circled above his head.
"Such a pure dragon aura."
After seeing the appearance of the golden dragon, Li Zhi himself was shocked.
Then he focused his mind on the Golden Dragon and comprehended the nine runes within the Golden Dragon's body, which were almost extremely complex.
He was unable to fully comprehend it. It was just like the feeling he had when he saw the four Chinese characters “Wulian Tianzun”, as if each of the nine runes represented an invincible technique.
It was like a divine pattern born in the body of the Holy Spirit, or like a supreme treasure born in the body of the first generation in the ancient times.
Starting from the dragon's tail, the general function has not changed, but the power of the rune is much stronger than when it was first created.
The last three runes appeared on the dragon head, dragon horns and dragon claws, corresponding to the three great magical powers.
The "True Dragon Claw" with extreme attack power, the "Heavenly Dragon Shout" with the ability to roar thousands of things, and the "Dragon Soaring into the Sky" which Li Zhi didn't know what it was used for.
The golden dragon exuded the aura of a true dragon, and to Li Zhi it felt as if it was even more powerful than himself.
The dragon's body really seemed to be showing signs of turning into flesh and blood.
It was like the holy spirit born from heaven and earth, just like the dragon horse born in the Kunlun fairyland on Earth.
However, the golden dragon is still very weak, and seems to have just developed a faint trace of intelligence.
In order to fully develop spiritual intelligence and flesh and blood, one needs to be constantly nourished by the essence of heaven and earth and all the ways.
After letting the Golden Dragon return to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, Li Zhi planned to leave the Central Fairyland.
But soon, he showed a look of shock.
After only seven steps, he could no longer move.
It was as if the chaotic energy seven steps away, each strand of which was like an ancient sacred mountain, possessed infinite pressure. If one wanted to move forward, one would have to carry a mountain range on one's back, or even a universe on one's back.
The boundless chaotic energy pressed his body so hard that it creaked and it seemed like it would collapse at any time.
After retreating to his original place, Li Zhi moved forward in other directions. Only the direction towards the Chaos Dragon's Nest did not have that boundless pressure.
"How could this happen?" Li Zhi looked puzzled.
When he opened his divine eyes, he did not see any dangerous places. He could even see the rock walls several miles away clearly.
But as long as Li Zhi walked outside, the chaotic energy would turn into an infinite sacred mountain and press down on him, making him unable to move.
I walked around the Chaos Dragon's Nest and found it was the same.
As long as he leaves the Chaos Dragon's Nest a certain distance away, he will be imprisoned by the chaotic energy.
Li Zhi turned around and looked at the Chaos Dragon Nest, then he bowed three times respectfully towards it and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous and not bear grudge against me."
The Chaos Dragon Nest did not give any response, but Li Zhi did not dare to slander the ruthless emperor at this moment, not even in his heart.
He knew that at this time, the Henren Emperor had not entered a special period of transformation, but was silently watching everything that happened on the Beidou Ancient Star.
Especially what happened to Ye Fan, otherwise the Immortal Treasure Map would not have been able to fly into Ye Fan’s Cauldron of the Mother Energy of All Things by itself.
The ruthless emperor could choose not to respond, but Li Zhi could not fail to express himself.
He immediately took out a fruit plate, set out an incense table, and some elixirs and meat. He also personally carved a tablet out of dragon wood, but there was no words on it.
After setting up the incense table and offerings, Li Zhi began to perform a ritual there.
Just like the offerings to the spirits in the ancient immortal times, they chanted a long passage of sacrificial secret language and performed a sacrificial dance.
Finally, Li Zhitiao stopped jumping until his forehead was sweating, and then he said as if he was discussing with someone, "Emperor, according to the rules passed down from the ancient times, you accepted my sacrifice, so you can't embarrass me."
After saying this, Li Zhi placed three more cups of wine on the incense table.
Seeing that Chaos Dragon Nest had no reaction, Li Zhi said, "I understand that when a strong person eats, he cannot be seen by a weak person like me. I will leave now."
Afterwards, Li Zhi ran to the other side of the dragon's nest.
I was wondering in my heart whether it would work or not.
Then, he tried to enter the chaotic energy again and walk out.
One step, two steps, three steps, seven steps. When he reached the seventh step, he took a deep breath and took the eighth step.
I didn't feel any pressure like a sacred mountain.
A hint of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
But when he took the ninth step, he felt boundless pressure. Li Zhi withstood the pressure and took another step forward.
"puff!"
The powerful pressure caused Li Zhi to spit out blood.
Then it was as if he was hit head-on by a huge truck and flew backwards.
I fell heavily to the ground and felt like my bones were broken.
After a silver-gold light flashed across his body, the injuries he had just suffered were instantly healed. Li Zhi said with an expression that made him want to cry but could not: "Emperor, I will never dare to talk nonsense again. Please let me out."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Li Zhi suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in the eyes.
But no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any clues of anyone spying on him.
He even returned to the incense table and found that the fruits, holy medicine, barbecue, and wine were still there intact.
Seeing that the incense stick had burned out, Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, these things are all good things. Since you don't need them, I will do it for you. After all, waste is a shameful act."
Then, Li Zhi picked up a fruit and started eating it.
After finishing eating, he turned his head and looked around, but didn't notice any movement.
Then he continued eating, and soon he had finished all the offerings.
Still no one knew who was watching him secretly. Then, Li Zhi patted his stomach and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a pattern of a crying and laughing ghost mask suddenly appeared on the blank tablet, almost scaring Li Zhi to death.
He quickly placed a better offering on the incense table and said, "Emperor, I shouldn't have stolen the offering given to you."
Then he turned around and ran, not afraid of the chaotic energy blocking his way.
A layer of silver-gold light flashed on his body, and then a golden dragon emerged from behind him and directly transformed into a set of golden real dragon armor on his body.
"Ow!"
After Li Zhi let out a dragon roar from his throat, the qi and blood in his body rose and condensed into a real qi and blood dragon, which roamed around in his body and brought him powerful strength.
"boom!"
It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. Li Zhi plunged back into the chaotic energy, but after rushing out thirty-three steps, he could no longer move forward any further.
Finally, feeling that both his body and soul were about to be crushed, Li Zhi retreated reluctantly.
He quickly took out the magic spring water and took a few gulps. After a burst of golden light rose from his body, Li Zhi became full of energy again.
This time, Li Zhi carefully returned to the incense table beside the dragon's nest and quietly glanced at the tablet.
“Why is it gone?” But there was no mark of a ghost face mask on the tablet.
As if he was dazzled just now?
Rubbing his eyes, Li Zhi pinched his thigh, patted his cheek, and then continued to look at the tablet without words. Sure enough, there was nothing on it.
Seeing that the offerings on the incense table had not moved at all, Li Zhi said to himself, "Am I hallucinating?"
With a look of doubt, Li Zhi continued to venture into the chaos, still staying at the thirty-third step.
It was just better than last time, he wasn't seriously injured.
After trying nine times in a row, he could only get to the thirty-third step and could no longer move forward.
Li Zhi stepped back and looked at the incense table again. Not finding any changes, he continued to venture into the chaos.
Finally, after trying a hundred times, he successfully took the thirty-fourth step.
However, his body and soul were almost crushed into pieces when he took the thirty-fourth step.
With his current strength, thirty-three steps might really be his limit.
Returning to the edge of the dragon's nest, Li Zhi took out the magic egg of the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, placed it in front of his nose to absorb the power of the magic medicine inside and began to recover.
This injury cannot be recovered by just drinking a few sips of the magic spring water.
After absorbing almost one third of the medicinal power of the magic medicine egg, Li Zhi finally recovered.
Afterwards, he sealed the magic medicine egg again. This was a life-saving elixir and not a single bit of its medicinal power could be wasted.
Sitting in front of the Chaos Dragon's Nest, Li Zhi began to think about how to get out.
At this moment, a golden passage suddenly appeared in the chaotic mist, and the True Dragon Immortality Elixir, which exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, seemed to be avoiding a powerful enemy and flew towards the Chaos Dragon's Nest.
Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he jumped up from the ground, like a heavy artillery fired from a gun, and appeared directly on the path that the True Dragon Immortality Elixir must take.
Then reach out to grab the magic medicine.
The True Dragon Immortality Medicine seemed to be frightened again, and coughed up nine drops of medicinal blood. It opened another void passage next to Li Zhi, and flew into the Chaos Dragon's Nest with a "whoosh".
Li Zhi didn't think much and simply opened his mouth to swallow the nine drops of medicinal blood into his stomach. Then he transformed into a nine-foot-tall divine dragon and rushed directly along the void passage opened by the True Dragon Immortal Medicine.
After flying into the passage, Li Zhi felt an endless pressure.
However, although the pressure was enormous, the True Dragon Blood exploded in his body with a huge amount of life essence and a special True Dragon power that continuously strengthened his body, allowing him to barely withstand the pressure.
Even though he heard the sound of porcelain breaking constantly coming from his body during the process, he still rushed to the other end of the void passage without hesitation despite the pressure like a mountain.
He didn't want to be trapped here forever. God knew whether the ruthless emperor would turn him into a slave just for fun.
At the same time, the nine runes on the golden dragon all began to flash, bringing Li Zhi an extremely powerful true dragon power.
"Ao!" He used the Heavenly Dragon's Shout and the True Dragon's Claw to clear the way, used the Divine Dragon's Tail and the Hidden Dragon's Leap into the Abyss to increase his strength, used the Flying Dragon in the Sky to increase his speed, and then used other runes to allow the golden dragon that Li Zhi had transformed into to move forward rapidly in the void passage with infinite divine power.
"Boom!" In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi arrived at the end of the void passage, then directly used the powerful True Dragon Claw to tear the void apart and rushed out.
After seeing that there was no trace of chaotic aura outside, Li Zhi knew that he had successfully escaped from the Central Fairyland.
It happened that Ye Fan was collecting the thirty-six drops of golden blood coughed up by the True Dragon Medicine.
Seeing the golden dragon transformed by Li Zhi suddenly break through the void with infinite divine power, the Holy Prince directly took out the iron rod with the gun tip worn off and hit Li Zhi.
Li Zhi didn't care at all and directly gave the Holy Prince a dragon-wagging-tail move.
"Boom!" In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the aftermath of the divine power rushed in all directions, even affecting the pile of divine source near the first ancient coffin of the Henren Emperor, as if to awaken the ancestor king sealed in that pile of divine source.
The big black dog and Ye Fan also reacted at this moment, and attacked Li Zhi one after another.
"Ow!"
A roar from the Heavenly Dragon Dao disrupted the void and the laws of heaven and earth, causing their attacks to collapse.
"Stop hitting me, it's me. Li Zhi." Li Zhi then shouted at Ye Fan and the big black dog.
After a flash of golden light, Li Zhi, whose face was as white as gold paper, appeared on the spot. He seemed to have been subjected to inhuman torture, and his body was covered with dense cracks.
"Li Zhi, it's you." Ye Fan said in surprise.
"Little Taoist Priest Changshou, why are you in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest?" The big black dog said with a look of surprise.
When the Holy Prince saw that Ye Fan and Black Emperor seemed to know Li Zhi, he stopped attacking.
Li Zhi looked at the divine source that was about to break next to the ancient coffin, and said to them, "Hurry up and leave. The ancestor king in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest is about to wake up. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave."
Although they had many doubts in their hearts, Ye Fan and Hei Huang knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so they hurriedly used the void array patterns to move sideways.
On the way, Ye Fan saw the Queen Mother of Yao Chi and the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, calling them to leave together.
At this time, the fighting on the battlefield had reached a fever pitch, and many powerful men had already lost their lives.
When the Queen Mother of Yao Chi and the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan rushed over one after another, the big black dog directly activated the void array pattern that he had carved before. With a flash of light, they disappeared from the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's eyes lit up and they rushed out from absolute nothingness and came to an oasis.
"What a catastrophic disaster!" sighed the Holy Leader of the Wind Clan.
"I want to go back to Yao Chi to get the Stone Order of the Divine City to save my fellow Taoists." The Queen Mother of Yao Chi also spoke.
"I have the will but not the strength. I prepared for a long time before I was able to activate the formation. I am sorry that I failed to rescue those people." After Ye Fan bowed and said this, he disappeared with the big black dog Saint Prince.
Li Zhi did not follow them and said to the Queen Mother of the West, "Senior, please take me back to Yaochi."
Only then did the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan realize that there was actually a stranger in the team.
Looking at Li Zhi's familiar yet unfamiliar face, and his body that seemed like it would fall apart at any time, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother of the West.
"Junior Li Changshou." Li Zhi quickly sent a message to the Queen Mother of the West.
"What, you are long-lived, how did you become like this?" Queen Mother of the West was shocked. It had only been a few years since they last saw each other, but Li Zhi had almost become another unfamiliar cultivator.
The Holy Leader of the Wind Clan also looked at Li Zhi with some curiosity and did not recognize him at the first moment.
At this moment, Li Zhi's body was filled with surging dragon energy, and his aura was very different from when he was in the Central Region.
Not only has he grown taller, becoming the same size as an adult, but even his appearance has changed subtly, becoming more perfect.
"I have suffered a serious injury and need to rest and recuperate. Sorry for bothering you, senior." Although Li Zhi had the medicinal power of nine drops of True Dragon Medicine taking effect in his body at this moment, his injuries were very troublesome.
He needed a powerful external force to help him refine the medicinal power of the True Dragon Magic Medicine in his body to repair the cracks in his body and soul.
This is also the reason why he did not leave with Ye Fan and others.
"My friend, have we met somewhere before?" At this time, the Holy Leader of the Wind Clan also felt that Li Zhi looked familiar, so he asked.
"I have never met you, Senior." At the same time, Li Zhi sent a message to Queen Mother Yao Chi: "Senior, there are some misunderstandings between me and the Wind Clan. Please take me away for the time being."
The Queen Mother of the Yaochi River had apparently also heard about Li Zhi's bloody battle with eight thousand monks in the Central Region, and then she waved her hand and put him into her magic weapon.
Upon seeing this, the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan asked, "Fellow Daoist, who is he?"
The Queen Mother of Yaochi said, "An old friend."
Afterwards, they returned to the sacred place of Yao Chi together.
