Chapter 156 Peach Festival
In an uninhabited area 20,000 miles away from the holy land of Yao Chi.

The thunderclouds from heaven covered an area of ​​eight hundred miles.

Eighty-one powerful thunder dragons over ten miles long, emitting the aura of a half-step powerful being, are fiercely surrounding and killing a nine-zhang long golden dragon.

However, the Golden Dragon was unstoppable. Even when surrounded by eighty-one powerful thunder dragons, it created a terrifying scene, gradually reversed the situation, and began to counter-besiege the eighty-one thunder dragons.

It was as if he was single-handedly turning the siege into a one-on-one duel, and it was a one-on-one duel against eighty-one.

At the same time, this is not the first time such a scene has occurred.

It had already appeared twice in the previous half day.

Seeing that every thunder dragon exuded a powerful aura of a late half-step great power, the eyes of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi showed deep worry.

But Elder Yang Qian looked thoughtful.

Seeing that the duration of the third round of single combat against the dragons had exceeded the combined duration of the first two rounds, the Saintess of Yao Chi asked, "Uncle Master, can Changshou hold on?"

Elder Yang Qian seemed to come back to his senses and said, "Don't worry, he is much more powerful than you think."

After seeing her uncle's reaction, Yao Chi Saint asked, "Uncle, do you know why he is so powerful?"

Elder Yang Qian thought for a moment and said, "He may have an extremely powerful unknown physique."

Yao Chi Saintess was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Isn't the physique of Taoist Changshou the immortal body?"

Elder Yang Qian said: "His physique must not be a pure immortal body. Although the real immortal body has not appeared for tens of thousands of years, there are detailed records in my Yaochi. It is impossible for the strength to reach his level. The immortal body of immortality focuses on health preservation and longevity, but it will never have such a great blood and divine power.

His current body is much more terrifying than Ye Fan's holy body. This is definitely not a level that can be achieved simply by practicing. You have also seen the scene when he was healing in the Yaochi Secret Realm before. Facing the suppression power of the king's divine weapon level, although there is no power of law to assist, he can easily deal with it. This kind of talent is extremely terrifying. "

Yao Chi Saintess said: "Perhaps it is related to the longevity training scripture. He had previously discussed with his disciples an idea to create a supreme body training scripture that could rival the Immortal Scripture."

Elder Yang Qian asked, "What is the scripture of the Immortal Scripture? Could it be the method of strengthening the body recorded in the Immortal Heavenly Art? Could it be that the rumors are true, and he has found the immortal book of the ruthless emperor?"

Yao Chi Saintess said, "No. Changshou said that the Immortal Scripture is a true immortal scripture, and it is the number one body-refining technique in the heavens and myriad worlds. Once you have mastered it, it is difficult for the heavens to bury you, and the earth to destroy you. Even after you die, as long as your physical body is still there, you will be able to nourish an identical soul again, thus completing your resurrection."

Elder Yang Qian showed a trace of doubt in his eyes and asked, "Where did he hear that such a scripture exists in the world? Why have I never heard of it?"

Yao Chi Saint Lady said: "I don't know where he heard this from. It doesn't seem like a fabricated lie."

Elder Yang Qian said: "It seems that our understanding of him is still too superficial."

Yao Chi Saint said: "Changshou is on good terms with Yao Chi and is even willing to come to Yao Chi to heal his wounds. Isn't that a sign of his trust in us? I think that even if Yao Chi encounters a life-and-death crisis in the future, he will not sit idly by."

Yang Qian said: "You have done well in this regard and are now capable of taking on the responsibility. When your cultivation reaches the level of a great power in a few years, perhaps Senior Sister will let you inherit the throne of Queen Mother in advance."

The Saint of Yao Chi looked at Li Zhi, who was already suppressing the Thunder Dragon in the calamity cloud in the distance, with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. She said, "My strength is still too weak. After I inherit the position of Queen Mother, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of Yao Chi."

Elder Yang Qian said, "Silly girl, after your master passes the throne of the Queen Mother to you, she won't die right away. We are here to support you and will not bring down the reputation of Yao Chi. Besides, the Qishi Mansion in Zhongzhou will reopen, so maybe you will have a chance to train on the Ancient Starry Sky Road."

Yao Chi Saint Girl nodded heavily and said, "Disciple will work hard."

Yang Qian said, "It's not enough for you to work hard on your own. With your talent, you may still be a little short of it if you want to set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road alone. However, if someone accompanies you on the road, your safety will be more guaranteed. Look at Changshou's strength. I dare say that there are only a few people in the world who can match him. Girl, hold on to him, even if he can't achieve enlightenment in the future, you can still have a good destination."

The Saint of Yao Chi blushed slightly, and said shyly, "Uncle Master, what are you talking about?"

Elder Yang Qian smiled and said, "Our Yao Chi is not a holy place that restricts the emotions of disciples. Being bold enough to love and hate does not prevent you from being a Yao Chi disciple. Back then, our founder, Queen Mother Xi, had a husband with a great saint body. Our Yao Chi Holy Land is not the kind of sect that is heartless and desireless."

The Saint of Yao Chi turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Elder Yang Qian. She changed the subject and said, "I wonder if Master has rescued all the seniors who fell into the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest?"

"With the map of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest provided by Changshou and the void array pattern he left inside, there shouldn't be much of a problem." After saying this, Elder Yang Qian suddenly laughed and said, "Yao'er, what kind of disguise did Changshou use to sneak into the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest so smoothly to practice?"

Yao Chi Saintess thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he used a great trick."

Elder Yang Qian showed a hint of curiosity and asked, "What is the Great Liar Technique?"

Yaochi Saint said: "I don't know the specific content, but I heard Changshou mention it by chance. He said that after mastering the art of talking, one can even persuade immortals to death."

"Persuading the immortal to die?" Elder Yang Qian said in shock.

"I don't know whether it is true or not. Maybe he is talking nonsense. Changshou sometimes likes to say some nonsense that sounds extremely terrifying." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi said helplessly.

At this moment, Li Zhi in the calamity cloud had already smashed the ninety-nine and eighty-one thunder dragons. He opened his mouth and swallowed the thunder essence and power of laws that were dissipating around into his stomach.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged in the air and began to digest the essence and power of the laws. At the same time, his cultivation officially reached the peak state of the ninth level of Dragon Transformation.

But Li Zhi was not satisfied with this and was not in a hurry to break through into the Xiantai secret realm immediately.

The more you accumulate in the Hualong Secret Realm, the easier it will be to travel in the Xiantai Secret Realm.

The purpose of the nine transformations of a dragon is to comprehend the true nature of the Great Dao, even though his realm has already been elevated to the ninth level of transformation of a dragon.

However, I am still far from realizing the great truth.

The Spine Dragon is far from being able to transform into a pillar of heaven that stands tall and upright.

Among the three elements of heaven, earth and man, man lives in the middle and can stand firmly between heaven and earth. The role of the spine, the dragon, cannot be ignored.

It is a pillar that supports people standing between heaven and earth.

It is also the stairway to reach Xiantai. The wider and more majestic the stairway is, the more majestic the Xiantai it can support will be.

Now, using dragon energy and various insights, he has broken through to the ninth level of dragon transformation.

Next, it’s time to use dragon marrow to strengthen the dragon’s strength.

If we say that the laws of heaven and earth that Li Zhi himself realized belong to the laws of humanity.

The laws of heaven and earth plundered from thunder and lightning belong to the laws of heaven.

Then the fragments of laws contained in the dragon marrow derived from the dragon veins of the earth belong to the authentic laws of the earth.

The unity of the three principles of heaven, earth and man is the law of the Tao.

Today, the laws of nature and humanity are not lacking, what is lacking is the laws of earth.

After only sitting in the void for an hour, Li Zhi refined and absorbed all the thunder essence and law fragments.

Afterwards, after changing into a brand new Taoist robe, Li Zhi flew to the Yao Chi Holy Land and Elder Yang Qian.

It is really troublesome to change clothes every time you go through a tribulation. Maybe it is time to refine a piece of armor that can be freely transformed into various styles of clothes.

It's a pity that the huge piece of Zodiac gold has been left there unused.

It might be time to put the task of refining a set of armor on the agenda. Seeing Li Zhi return from his tribulation, Elder Yang Qian said to the Saintess of Yaochi: "Yao'er, you should accompany Changshou back to Yaochi. I'm leaving first, and I don't know if your master has returned."

Then she turned into a stream of light and flew away.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said to the Saintess of Yaochi: "Fellow Daoist Yaochi, let's go too. This Yaochi Grand Gathering happens once every five hundred years, and I am looking forward to it very much."

Looking at the elegant and handsome Li Zhi, who was wearing a purple and green Taoist robe and a purple jade lotus crown on his head, the Saint of Yao Chi suddenly took out a brand new whisk and gave it to Li Zhi, saying, "Your whisk broke last time, so I prepared a new one for you. I hope you like it."

Li Zhi took the whisk without hesitation and said, "Thank you, Daoist Yao Chi, for the gift."

Then, a cloud of auspiciousness appeared under Li Zhi's feet. He invited the Saintess of Yaochi to stand on it and said, "I will ride on the cloud. It should be much faster than your flying speed."

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi did not hesitate to stand on the auspicious cloud under Li Zhi's feet.

Afterwards, auspicious clouds rose into the sky and flew towards the sacred land of Yao Chi.

The speed was so fast that even the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi felt it was incredible.

Halfway through, they even surpassed Elder Yang Qian who was flying towards the Yao Chi Holy Land.

Elder Yang Qian is a truly powerful person.

However, its flying speed was far slower than Li Zhi's auspicious cloud.

The 20,000-mile journey was covered in less than the time of an incense stick.

It's comparable to the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch.

Yaochi Saint asked: "Changshou, have you also obtained the secret of the character 'Xing'?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Although I know where the secret of the character 行 is, I don't plan to learn it. It's not suitable for me."

Yao Chi Saintess was surprised and asked, "You actually know where the secret of the word 'Xing' is?"

Li Zhi said: "It is on the blood-stained holy cliff left by the Great Saint Body."

The Holy Cliff is like a forbidden zone for life, and the Taoist Chilong has been trapped there for fifteen hundred years. The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately gave up the idea of ​​going there to study.

The two flew into the oasis where the Yao Chi Holy Land was located, and Li Zhi only slowed down when they were close to the Yao Chi Pure Land.

From afar, one can see palaces on the white clouds, exotic flowers in full bloom, rare grass covering the ground, fairy mist surging but no higher than the knees, and many cranes and phoenixes flying around.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, everything was quiet and the atmosphere seemed somewhat depressing.

Outside the palace, however, there were many people communicating and discussing.

Most of them were discussing the powerful men who were killed by Ye Fan and the news that the ancient creatures were about to be born.

The Peach Festival should have been a joyous and peaceful event, but at this moment there was not a trace of joyful atmosphere.

Outside the Heavenly Palace, a large group of young monks gathered, most of whom were saints from various religions.

Seeing that the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was actually returning from outside with a young Taoist priest, it immediately caught their attention.

"Who is that young Taoist priest? How could he be so intimate with the Saint of Yao Chi as expected?"

"Who knows? I've never seen it."

"Perhaps he is a direct disciple of some powerful person, coming here on behalf of the elders, so the Saint of Yao Chi went out to greet him personally."

Above the auspicious clouds, Li Zhi was also observing those young monks.

I saw the familiar Saint Son and Saint Daughter Yaoguang, as well as the Prince of Daxia and some others.

It’s a pity that there are not many things worth remembering.

Looking up, I saw little girl sitting quietly in the heavenly palace.

Li Zhi asked the Saintess of Yaochi: "Can I go to the Heavenly Palace and take a seat?"

Yao Chi Saintess hesitated and said, "Normally, it's not possible. The places for those who can be invited to enter the Heavenly Palace are arranged in advance. But if you really want to go in, I can take you in."

Li Zhi said: "Forget it, I'll stay outside. After all, I'm not a powerful person, just a young cultivator."

Yaochi Saint said: "There are still many masters in the younger generation, such as Yaoguang Saint, Ji Family God King Body, Zifu Saint, and other geniuses from our Eastern Wasteland. There are also young heroes from Zhongzhou such as Wang Chongxiao, Ye Huiling, Twin King, and Yuhua King. They are all in the late stage of Hualong Secret Realm. It won't take long for them to reach Xiantai Secret Realm."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Then I will go and greet them. You don't need to greet me. After all, I am the guardian of Yao Chi Holy Land, so I am one of them."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi nodded and separated from Li Zhi.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Li Zhi flew directly towards the Holy Son Yaoguang.

Among these people, only the Holy Son Yaoguang is worthy of his serious attention.

"Fellow Daoist Yaoguang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" Li Zhi said enthusiastically.

"Master Taoist, do we know each other?" The Holy Son Yaoguang looked puzzled.

The last time I met Saint Yaoguang, he was still a little kid. Now he has grown up and become more and more handsome. He no longer has his previous childish look.

"Wulian Tianzun, I am Li Changshou." Li Zhi said as he flicked his whisk lightly.

"Are you the Taoist priest of longevity?" The Holy Son Yaoguang was a little surprised. The great change in Li Zhi was beyond his imagination. Even his aura was completely different.

However, they didn't know that after the golden dragon in Li Zhihualong's secret realm grew up, his aura could change at will.

A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide. This is no joke. It is even more magical than the method of changing the heaven and earth recorded in the "Source Heaven Book".

"It is a pity that we haven't seen each other for many years and couldn't have a drink together. Now, I would like to take this opportunity of the Peach Festival to chat with fellow Taoist Yaoguang and reminisce about the past." Li Zhi said in a friendly manner.

In fact, he wanted to see what magical powers there were about the Holy Son Yaoguang who had mastered the "Immortal Heavenly Art".

He was very curious about the "Immortal Heavenly Art" of the Henren Emperor and wanted to see the similarities and differences between it and the method left by the Wuliang Tianzun.

The eyes of Saint Yaoguang flickered, as if he wanted to see Li Zhi's background clearly. However, he only saw a blur in his Heavenly Eye, as if there was no useful information.

At this time, Yao Xi, the Saint of Yaoguang, also came to Li Zhi and said generously, "Master Changshou, you dare to appear here, aren't you afraid that those people from the Central Region will cause trouble for you?"

Li Zhi did not answer her, but smiled and said: "Fairy Yao Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful."
