Chapter 158: Becoming a Sprayer
In the holy land of Yao Chi, the heavenly palace where the Peach Festival was held, many powerful people gathered.

The Heavenly Palace was rich and magnificent, with fairy mist lingering around. Jade tables were neatly placed in the hall, and there were countless spiritual fruits and fairy wines.

The heroes from all sides sat in front of the white jade table, chatting with each other in groups of three or five, all discussing the topic of the birth of the ancient royal family in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Some people were also discussing the topic of holding Ye Fan accountable.

When Li Zhi entered the Heavenly Palace under the guidance of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, the discussions in the Heavenly Palace quieted down.

It seems to be asking, who is this young Taoist?

Most people don’t know Li Zhi, but since he was invited by the Queen Mother of the West to enter the Heavenly Palace, he must be very powerful.

Although what Li Zhi did in the Central Region was not as shocking as Ye Fan's use of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest to kill many powerful men and supreme elders.

But his name is still very famous in the Central Region or in the Eastern Wilderness.

However, the Li Zhi at this moment and the Li Zhi before were like two different people, and they did not recognize him for a moment.

Until the Saintess of Yaochi said to the Queen Mother: "Master, I have invited the Taoist priest Changshou to come."

Only then did someone recognize him.

In an instant, the great and powerful supreme elders of various holy places in the central region of East Wilderness, such as Daoyi Holy Land, Wanchu Holy Land, Zifu Holy Land, Dayan Holy Land, and Four Symbols Holy Land, locked onto Li Zhi with their spiritual sense.

After seeing Li Zhi, the Wind Tribe Saint's eyes also flashed with a hint of complexity. Regarding Li Zhi's killing of their Wind Tribe disciples, he did not blame Li Zhi in his heart, but felt that Li Zhi was true to his nature.

A ruthless person who dares to confront the siege of thousands of monks head-on, as long as he does not die, will definitely be a big figure who can dominate the world in the future.

There are only disadvantages and no advantages in making an enemy of such a person.

Even if the Feng Clan had the ability to kill Li Zhi, the price they would pay would be immeasurable.

He also knew that the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool treated Li Zhi as if she were a close son or nephew.

This gave him another worry.

However, Li Zhi did not use any conspiracy or trickery, but killed those people head-on. This way of death is acceptable.

Although those forces issued wanted warrants, almost no one actually sent people to look for Li Zhi's whereabouts.

They all knew about Li Zhi's terrifying combat power, and it was useless to send disciples below the level of great masters. However, if they sent great masters to hunt down Li Zhi, it would be good if they could kill him with one strike, but if they failed to kill him, there would be endless troubles.

Therefore, those forces' attitudes towards Li Zhi are very complicated.

Three days ago, when coming out of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan saw Li Zhi. The severity of his injuries was visible to the naked eye.

But it is a miracle that he recovered from such a serious injury in just three days.

In his opinion, the Holy Land of Yao Chi must have used its most powerful elixir to treat Li Zhi, otherwise he would not have recovered so quickly.

Seeing that the mighty ones from other holy places in the Central Region were interested in taking action, the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan wanted to see if Li Zhi could survive this disaster.

Whether the true strength has reached a level comparable to that of a powerful being.

When Li Zhi arrived, the Holy Leader of the Wind Clan seemed to think that Li Zhi had nothing to do with their Wind Clan. He did not show any murderous intent, but instead had a calm expression.

After feeling those malicious intentions, Li Zhi did not show any panic expression at all. He did not even look at them and walked directly to the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool.

"Senior, are you looking for me?" Li Zhi asked after greeting the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool very politely.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi said, "During this Yaochi Festival, I heard that you had some conflicts with some holy places in the Central Region, so I wanted to come forward to help you resolve them."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. There is no conflict between me and the major holy places in the Central Region. I have resolved the previous cause and effect. As for the new cause and effect, I can bear it all. I firmly believe that when a person dies, the cause and effect will disappear. If any senior wants to cause trouble for me, he only needs to make arrangements for his funeral and fight with me. It's nothing more than the two words "life and death". I think these seniors should be like me and will not be stingy with their lives. At that time, there will be no distinction between high and low, only life and death. I feel that as long as we persist in doing this, there will be no contradiction that cannot be resolved."

Then, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the powerful ones who had locked onto him with their spiritual senses, and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh at my shallow views on the law of cause and effect."

Using the most ordinary words, he spoke of the most brutal result, causing those powerful men to feel terrified.

It seemed that if he really attacked Li Zhi, he would surely die.

After hearing Li Zhi's words, all the powerful people present showed strange expressions.

A ruthless person, an absolutely ruthless person.

The divine thoughts that were originally locked on Li Zhi disappeared one after another.

After hearing this, Queen Mother of the West didn't know what to say.

He planned to deal with Li Zhi's minor troubles after Ye Fan had finished killing the four heroes.

Then, she asked Li Zhi to take a seat in the Heavenly Palace.

But when Li Zhi saw Xiao Nannan sitting next to the old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, he immediately turned around and walked over to Xiao Nannan, saying hello: "Xiao Nannan, do you remember me?"

The little girl, who had been sitting quietly behind the white jade table, immediately looked up at Li Zhi, then nodded vigorously and said, "You are the Taoist brother."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I brought you some candy beans, would you like to have one, girl?"

Little Nannan seemed to want to eat the candy beans given by Li Zhi, but she turned her head to look at the old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect next to her, as if she was very afraid of him.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi said to the old leader of the Yin Yang Sect, "Old senior, I am honored to meet you. Please remove the restrictions on the little girl. This is the Peach Festival. How can you do something like restricting the freedom of a child?"

The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect looked at Li Zhi with some surprise, as if he had never met a junior who dared to speak to him like that.

Then, the old leader of the Yin Yang Sect asked, "Do you know this girl? What is her relationship with the Holy Body Ye Fan?"

Li Zhi said, "Of course I know this little girl. As for the Holy Body, I also know him. Senior, do you have something to ask him?"

The other powerful people in the Heavenly Palace didn't know what Li Zhi was trying to do. Even the Queen Mother of the Yaochi couldn't guess what he was thinking at this moment. Why did he suddenly want to stand up for a child.

"Since you know the Holy Body, then call him to me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect directly ordered Li Zhidao.

Li Zhi stared at the old leader of the Yin Yang Sect again and again, then smiled and said, "Old senior, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

The old leader of the Yin Yang Sect said, "What do you want to say?"

Li Zhi glanced at the people present and said, "In fact, I have heard a little about what happened in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. Those are all great masters who have practiced for hundreds of years or even one or two thousand years. Have they completely forgotten the basic awareness that there will be dangers in the treasure hunt? It is normal that the treasure hunt failed and some people died. Aren't you making a fuss about nothing? Therefore, they have disturbed the interest of other seniors in participating in the Peach Banquet. In my opinion, they are the rat shit in the soup pot, who are here to disgust people."

"Little Taoist, what nonsense are you talking about?" "Little Taoist, shut up. Who gave you the courage to speak nonsense here?" Li Zhi had just finished speaking when a powerful man started to scold him.

Facing these accusations, Li Zhi said calmly: "Please listen to what I have to say, seniors. They are all people standing at the top of the pyramid of the East Wilderness, one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand. They died in the hands of those ancient creatures in order to find treasures. They deserved it and could not blame others.

Logically speaking, those ancient creatures were carefully selected and sealed. But does our human race have no geniuses? Aren’t those great powers the top geniuses among our human race?

If they were killed by the ancient creatures, they could only blame their lack of skills and their reputation. Why did the death of a few useless guys ruin everyone's mood?

Are there some people who are like them, who have become respected powerful beings not because of their extraordinary talents or the results of hard work, but are fake and counterfeit powerful beings who are simply there to make up the numbers, so they clamor for a younger cultivator to take the blame?
Are they trying to change the subject and cover up their incompetence and wasteness when facing the ancient creatures? They can't even beat some ancient creatures that have been eliminated by the times. In my opinion, this is simply a shame for our ancestors. "

Those plain words were like sharp knives that pierced the hearts of most of the powerful people present, leaving them unable to open their mouths to refute.

As if sensing that many powerful people's faces had become gloomy, as if they were about to tear Li Zhisheng apart, Yao Chi Queen Mother spoke up and said, "Longevity, don't be rude."

Li Zhi said, "Senior, this is not a question of whether it is unreasonable or not. I really can't understand why some leaders and saints would die in battle against some low-level ancient creatures? Moreover, after they died in battle, they would publicize it in a big way, letting everyone in the world know that they are useless.

The ancestor king in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest should not have revived. Since we are not facing an ancestor king of the ancient sage level, but so many heroes have been killed and injured. It really makes people wonder if they are embarrassing our human race in front of the ancient creatures.

Now, the ancient races are about to awaken from their slumber one after another. If the high-ranking officials of the various religions of our human race are all of this kind of stuff, wouldn't the ancient creatures laugh at our human race's incompetence?
How can we, the descendants of the human race, have the face to meet our ancestors who opened up new territories and established a vast empire for the human race?

How can we face the Void Emperor, Hengyu Emperor, Wushi Emperor, Ruthless Emperor, Yaochi Queen Mother, Dacheng Saint Body, etc., these ancient emperors who made our human race the protagonists of the world of Beidou Ancient Star. "

Li Zhi's voice was as shocking as the sound of a huge bell, causing many powerful people to change color.

But Li Zhi had no intention of stopping, and continued to shout in high spirits: "Some people do not think about making progress, do not think about how to work hard to improve their strength, enhance their combat power, and cultivate younger talents, but instead attack each other here and persecute the future guardian of the human race. In my opinion, all those who want to punish the Holy Body are evil people who want to betray our human race and want to strangle the future of our human race.

Perhaps some sinister people, after seeing the powerful strength displayed by the ancient creatures, have already planned to live on their knees and collude with the ancient creatures.

We, the human race, stand tall and upright. The reason why we have been able to stand firm through the changes of time and eras is because our bones are strong enough and our backbones are firm enough. Even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, it cannot crush the minds of us humans. We are fearless in overcoming all obstacles and creating one bright and beautiful world after another with our own hands.

What's the point of talking about the ancient creatures? If they were really strong and tough, they wouldn't have sealed themselves in the divine source and survived until now. You must face the reality, focus on the future, and don't be fooled by the false strength of the ancient creatures.

Why should we, the human race, be afraid of a battle? The torch will be passed on from generation to generation, and we should have the supreme courage to create the world."

Faced with Li Zhi who was firing at full force, not to mention the powerful people present, even the Queen Mother of Yao Chi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi were a little confused and didn't know how to evaluate Li Zhi.

Li Zhi insisted, "I originally thought that this Peach Festival would be a gathering for all sects to discuss how to deal with the re-emergence of ancient creatures. But I didn't expect that after arriving at the Peach Festival, all I heard were some dirty things of fighting for power, which was simply disgusting.

As powerful beings of the human race, you enjoy the admiration of countless ordinary cultivators and mortals. However, some of you have evil minds and are selfish. You cannot provide a safe sky for the people of the human race and save them from the pain of separation from their flesh and blood. You cannot educate all living beings and provide a good growth environment for young successors. You even want to strangle the geniuses. You are simply digging your own graves.

Even though I am a pure, indifferent and compassionate person, I still get angry when I see such an ugly scene and I can't help but speak out.

Of course, you can ignore my words, or you can scold me in anger, but check your conscience and ask yourself whether you are still worthy of being a human being. If some people think that he has become an immortal, then just treat my words as bullshit. "

After saying that, Li Zhi walked directly in front of Xiao Nannan, and turned to the old leader of Yin Yang Sect and said, "Senior, your life span is about to end. Before you die, don't you plan to accumulate some good karma for Yin Yang Sect? It is not too late for people to bully the old and weak. Emperor Fuxi defined human relations, but he did not allow you to act so recklessly."

"Little Taoist, are you teaching me how to do things?" The old leader of the Yin Yang Sect did not seem to be affected by Li Zhi's deceptive powers. Instead, he showed a hint of sarcasm and looked at Li Zhi with contempt.

Li Zhi ignored him and picked up little Nannan from behind the jade table. Then, with a flash of divine light in his hand, the restriction on little Nannan was completely dissolved.

Afterwards, Li Zhi politely said to the old leader of the Yin Yang Sect, "I spoke out of turn. As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a dead ghost. I had good intentions to help your Yin Yang Sect to eliminate the great calamity, but you questioned my intentions. It is really hard for the Heavenly Master to save you. I thought you dared to use the name of Yin Yang, and you must be a sect that is proficient in Yin and Yang and understands the cause and effect. I never thought that you are just a group of brainless reckless men."

A hint of murderous intent immediately flashed in the eyes of the old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, as if he had never been ignored like this before.

But Li Zhi seemed not to sense the murderous intent, and continued: "I still overestimated you. Taiyin and Taiyang, it is extremely difficult to cultivate one to the extreme. There are things that are mixed, and then they are divided into yin and yang. Yin is mysterious and yang is wonderful, close to the Tao, how can you narrow-minded people cultivate it.

Don't you know that the ancient human race has long left behind a proverb: The moon and the sun, which is weaker and which is stronger, Yin and Yang work together to become the emperor of the world. Even the Moon Emperor and the Sun Saint Emperor have never fully understood the mystery of the changes of Yin and Yang, how can you understand it?

I suggest that you should change your name as soon as possible. The great cause and effect is something that only the great emperor can bear. Using the name of Yin and Yang is the way to bring disaster.

They use yin and yang to enter the Dao, but do not act according to yin and yang. They seem to have supernatural powers and look down on others, but they do not know that they have gone astray and are on a dead end. "

After saying that, Li Zhi held the little girl in his arms, turned around and walked to an empty jade table and sat down.

"Hiss!" The sound of some people gasping for air could be faintly heard.

But Li Zhi didn't care. The old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect, a dying man, posed no threat to him.

Sitting at the white jade table, Li Zhi was relieved about his little girl. He took out a magic pill without paying attention to anyone around, handed it to her and said, "Little girl, how about tasting the magic pill made by Taoist brother?"

As soon as the magic pill came out, a unique fragrance filled the air, as if it was the aroma of an elixir of immortality, which immediately made little Nannan's eyes light up.

Little Nannan took the magic pill and stuffed it directly into her mouth without even looking at it carefully. She swallowed it in just a few bites. She felt the warmth inside and immediately showed a look of enjoyment.

Apart from that, there was nothing special about it, which made everyone feel shocked.

Just by smelling the fragrance, one could tell that the magic pill was of extraordinary quality. Li Zhi actually gave it to a little girl so easily.

The little girl was also very bold and actually ate the magic pill.

Gives people a dreamy feeling.

Before they could speak, Li Zhi asked, "Is it delicious?"

Little Nannan nodded heavily and said, "It's delicious."

Li Zhi smiled slightly, looking at the empty jade table in front of him, and said: "It's delicious, but I don't have any more magic pills for you. However, the Taoist brother brought you some spiritual fruits from the ancient times, I'm sure you like them."

Afterwards, Li Zhi took out a lot of fruits presented by the golden creature in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest and placed them on the jade table.

Among them were several Dragon Source Fruits, which made the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty jealous.

When little Nannan saw those spiritual fruits, she immediately showed a greedy look, then looked up at Li Zhi, as if asking if she could eat them.

Li Zhi rubbed her little head and said, "Eat it, it's all yours."

Afterwards, the little girl lay down in front of the jade table and started eating happily.

Seeing her enjoying the meal, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Great Emperor, I have tasted all these tributes for you personally. Please don't scare me again. I am small and weak, and I can't stand your intimidation."

Li Zhi had both a magical pill and an ancient spiritual fruit, which directly attracted the attention of many powerful people present.

He came back to his senses after being almost stunned by Li Zhi's spray.

Many powerful beings were staring at Li Zhi the moment he took out the magic pill.

Especially the old leader of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were almost all focused on him, Li Zhi said: "My dear seniors, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Master Changshou, do you have any extra of the magic pills you just took out?" The Holy Lord of the Ji family asked first.

"It's gone. I used them up in the bloody battle, and the last one was eaten by Nannan just now." Li Zhi said.

Afterwards, Li Zhi said to those people with greedy eyes: "If you want to live long in this world, you should try the Way of Slashing. After becoming a king, you will naturally be able to extend your life by two to three thousand years. Magic pills and elixirs are just external forces. It is a waste of resources to extend your life by using them. It is better to use those resources to train new people. I understand your feelings of not wanting to sit and die, but if you dare not even try the Way of Slashing, I still think that such people should stay at home and not embarrass themselves. What our human race needs is people who can lead everyone to overcome difficulties and move forward courageously, rather than incompetent people who are struggling to survive and have no ambitions."

This one sentence offended at least half of the powerful people in the Heavenly Palace, but they seemed to have lost the ability to refute, and when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to refute Li Zhi.

Seeing the reactions of those powerful men, Li Zhi thought to himself, "The magic of words is really useful. It seems that I can criticize them to pieces today."

Just as Li Zhi had expected, many powerful people were already feeling guilty at this moment, thinking that what they had done before was not worthy of their current identity and status.

In another palace next to the Heavenly Palace, two king-level hermit elders from the Holy Land of Yao Chi listened to Li Zhi's impassioned speech from beginning to end.

They all had smiles on their faces, as if they had just listened to a very comfortable stand-up comedy show.

Elder Yang Qian, who had previously been Li Zhi's guardian, was now with them, and introduced Li Zhi's situation to the two reclusive elders.

"This long-lived young Taoist priest is truly a prodigy."

"After so many years, a Taoist master with such outstanding eloquence has finally appeared in the East Desert. It's really rare."

The two of them praised Li Zhi highly. It seemed that what Li Zhi did was very much to their taste, which made Yang Qian a little curious.

She asked, "Master, have you ever met another Taoist who is very eloquent?"

A reclusive elder fell into reminiscence, then smiled and said, "That happened more than 3,000 years ago. A Taoist who claimed to be the King of Mouth suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He offended all the major holy places with just his mouth."

Yang Qian asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard of such a king?"

The hermit elder laughed and said, "Because he died too early. Although the Taoist's mouth was powerful, his strength was far less powerful than his mouth. He was only in glory for less than a hundred years before he was assassinated by someone unknown."

"I see. Then will Xiao Changshou also be assassinated?" Yang Qian asked.

"If he doesn't kill others, others should be thankful. If someone dares to assassinate him, I'm afraid even the Killer Dynasty will have to think twice before accepting the task of assassinating Changshou." said the reclusive elder.

"Xi'er, don't think those people outside are so powerful, they are all a bunch of spineless people. Now that the ancient races are about to revive, you will have the opportunity to see the ugly faces of the major forces. My Yao Chi Holy Land is protected by the legacy of the Western Emperor, so we can avoid being contaminated by the right and wrong of the outside world, but the dark and dirty side of this world is no less. Those who are upright and have a heart for the people are even rarer. When the ancient races revive, the most suffering ones are the ordinary mortals who cannot move away from their homes. We need young cultivators like Changshou to hold up the sky for our human race."

"Will they attack Xiao Changshou?" Yang Qian asked worriedly.

"We will definitely take action, but not today. Just wait, the real show is yet to begin." The reclusive elder said with certainty.
