Chapter 163: The Azure Lotus Emperor's Soldier Slashes the Mortal World

In the sacred land of Yao Chi, the Peach Festival, a letter from the ancient creature completely confirmed the news that the ancient creature was about to be born.

The major forces finally put aside their differences temporarily and began to sit down and truly discuss how to deal with the situation.

After the ancient creature from the Taikoo mining area left, the Peach Festival officially entered the later stage of trading.

During this period, of course, the gambling on stones that is popular in the Northern Region was inevitable.

Ye Fan stole the show. He not only cut out the human essence fruit that was about to evolve into the earth life fruit, but also cut out the fairy flower that could keep people young forever.

However, another person, Li Zhi, who had shined brightly on the Yao Chi battlefield, suddenly disappeared.

Originally, some people wanted him to come out and communicate and exchange ideas with the ancient creatures.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find him in the crowd.

So many people secretly wondered whether Li Zhi was afraid of encountering ancient creatures and just hid himself.

Even Ye Fan and the others were very curious about where Li Zhi had gone.

When Ye Fan distributed the magic pills to Li Heishui and others, Li Heishui kept saying, "The young Taoist priest is so amazing. Ye Fan, aren't you and the Taoist priest Changshou neighbors? Do you know why he is so strong? He is a great master, and he killed him so easily with his bare hands. If he breaks through to the realm of great master, it will be terrible. I can't think of who in the world will be his opponent by then. It's only been more than a year since we last met, and he has broken through from the Four Extremes Perfection to the Dragon Perfection. Is this the speed of improvement that a normal person should have?"

Ye Fan also felt that Li Zhi’s behavior was very suspicious.

Ever since Li Zhi completed his transformation in the Green Emperor's Yang Tomb, his temperament seemed to have changed. It was not obvious at first, but now he is like a different person, no longer the neighbor he knew who was "bold in work and low-key in life".

In the past, if Li Zhi had such amazing fortune or amazing fighting power, he would never show it in public and would just make a fortune in silence.

Ye Fan also remembered that Li Zhi once said to him: He practiced cultivation not for fighting and killing. Even if he had to kill someone, it was to eliminate the cause and effect, not to show off his martial arts to others. He had only one ultimate pursuit in his practice, and that was "immortality". If he could achieve immortality, he would go on without hesitation even if he was forgotten by all living beings.

But on the ring, in front of many heroes in the world, Li Zhi killed a powerful man with an extremely arrogant attitude.

He also heard that Li Zhi gave those powerful men a good scolding before he arrived.

The Li Zhi that Ye Fan knew would never stand up at this time.

Li Zhi's strange behavior left him puzzled.

Then, he asked the knowledgeable Black Emperor, "Black Emperor, do you think Li Zhi is a little strange? He is like a completely different person from when we met him in Immortal Mountain."

After Ye Fan’s reminder, Hei Huang also felt that Li Zhi’s personality had changed a lot before and after.

When he was at the Immortal Mountain, he was as low-key as possible and his presence was very low. As long as you relaxed your attention on him, he would soon be forgotten.

But it was different at the previous Peach Festival, arrogant, overbearing, and ruthless.
After thinking for a moment, Hei Huang said, "It's really a bit strange. The little Taoist priest who was so patient and low-key that he could even reduce his presence seems to have disappeared. Instead, he is arrogant like a villain who has achieved success, as if he doesn't care about the people in the world. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, considering the little Taoist priest's character who wishes everyone would forget him."

Ye Fan asked: "Is it possible that his cultivation progress was too fast, causing his mentality to change?"

Black Emperor said, "It is possible, and don't you think his strength is strangely strong? He is only at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, but he was able to kill a powerful person at the second level of the Immortal Realm. Logically speaking, even if the Innate Saint Body Daotai came, it would not be possible. The Immortal Terrace Secret Realm is different from other secret realms. It is almost a level of one level. It is understandable that he can fight against a half-step powerful person at the first level of the Immortal Realm. But he killed a powerful person at the second level of the Immortal Realm with his bare hands at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and he did not practice the method of a single secret realm. Now I think his behavior is very abnormal, and the strength of the golden dragon is too incredible. This exaggerated combat power cannot be achieved even if one enters the legendary forbidden realm of the gods. But there is no obvious strangeness in him, which is indeed a bit weird."

Then, Ye Fan asked the Holy Prince: "Brother Yuan, is there any precedent among the ancient tribes for Li Zhi to be able to transform into a golden dragon? Is the golden dragon he transformed into an ancient creature? When you were fighting him, did you feel any external force descending on him?"

Ye Fan suspected that Li Zhi was ambushed by the ancient royal family in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, and was even parasitized by the powerful existence of the ancient royal family.

After all, Xiao Nannan told him that there was a living dragon inside Li Zhi's body. Under normal circumstances, how could other creatures live inside the human body?
Moreover, the "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" that Li Zhi practiced was not a martial art that centered on powerful combat power at all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a "God-like" method.

Ye Fan, who had read two volumes of "Innate Longevity Art", knew the characteristics of the longevity art, which was to lock up one's own vitality and not waste every bit of vitality.

However, Li Zhi's recent performance in the Central Region and at the Peach Festival is completely contrary to the main theme of "Innate Longevity Art".

Looking back, when I met Li Zhi in the Holy City, Li Zhi was like a transparent person and did not attract any attention at all.

This made Ye Fan a little worried that there might be something wrong with his character.

Moreover, when the ancient creatures arrived, Li Zhi disappeared in a hurry, which aroused even more suspicion.

Ye Fan didn't think that Li Zhi would be afraid of those ancient creatures. After all, not everyone has the ability to blend into the ancient creature group and live there for half a year without being discovered.

Facing Ye Fan's inquiry, the Holy Prince thought about it carefully and said, "His situation is indeed a bit strange. Even I, when facing a powerful being, need to break through to the Immortal Stage Secret Realm to have the strength to fight, but he can kill a powerful being, which is incredible. Moreover, his strength is beyond imagination, and his body is stronger than our Fighting Saint Clan, which is a bit unreasonable. And I am sure that the Golden Dragon Clan has never appeared in the ancient myriad clans. As for his character you mentioned, I don't know him well. I don't know if his character has changed. Master, his master, has changed."

Just when Ye Fan suspected that there was something wrong with Li Zhi himself.

Li Zhi, who came out of the secret realm of Yaochi, came in front of Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Master Changshou, has your body recovered?"

Earlier, after Li Zhi killed the powerful man, when she and Li Zhi were chatting happily, Li Zhi's expression suddenly changed drastically and he disappeared in an instant.

She thought that the aftereffects of Li Zhi's victory over the powerful had broken out, which made her worried for a long time.

Now that she saw that Li Zhi seemed to be fine, she felt relieved.

However, Li Zhi's expression was gone, and he looked a little depressed. He said to Yan Ruyu, "Thank you for your concern, Fairy. I am fine."

"Then I feel relieved. Many people are speculating that the Taoist priest chose to escape because he was afraid of those ancient creatures." Yan Ruyu smiled, as if trying to liven up the atmosphere.

But Li Zhi couldn't laugh at all, and he wasn't in the mood to care what other people thought of him.

Despite all his calculations and precautions, he was still ambushed. It was indeed not easy to get opportunities in the place left by the Ancient Emperor, who was as powerful as the ancient emperors.

I thought he had made all the preparations when he came to the Holy Land of Yao Chi for a breakthrough.

But in the end, he still couldn't escape.

No wonder there are rumors in the world that the ancient emperors are indescribable. Unless you reach that level, you have no idea how powerful they were.

Suppressing his irritability, Li Zhi asked, "Fairy Yan, have you ever brought the Imperial Blue Lotus Soldier with you?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes, and she asked, "Does Taoist Changshou want to borrow the imperial weapon?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I want to borrow the Qinglian Emperor's Soldier to kill myself."

"What? You want to use the imperial weapon to kill yourself?" Yan Ruyu never expected Li Zhi to make such a request. She looked at him in shock, as if she felt that Li Zhi was crazy.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Fairy, do you think my current state is normal?"

Yan Ruyu's eyes flashed with a green light. She looked at Li Zhi carefully and found that he was in good spirits and strong, and seemed to have no problems. She said, "Ruyu didn't see anything unusual. Taoist Changshou, are you worrying too much?" Sure enough, the influence left by the existence of the ancient emperor level was not something that a young cultivator could see through. Li Zhi said, "Fairy, do you think there is any difference between me and when I was a child?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a while before saying, "There are quite a few differences, but you were just at the Life Spring level back then, and now you are already at the Ninth Heaven of Dragon Transformation. Some changes are normal. Everyone will be different when they grow up."

Li Zhi revealed a trace of bitterness and said, "Then, Fairy, don't you think that I am a little anxious?"

Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "He has indeed matured a lot."

According to Li Zhi's age and growth process after his rejuvenation, he should now look like a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Moreover, "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" has a powerful anti-aging ability, so your appearance should be younger.

But now, he looks like a young man in his twenties, with a strong physique and abundant blood, as if there is a real dragon sleeping in his body.

The energy and blood power cultivated according to the "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" should not be so overbearing. It should be continuous and endless.

Instead of the current situation where it is as bright as the sun and as fierce as the stars.

Yesterday, Li Zhi, who had just stepped off the stage, was full of high spirits, as if he was the absolute protagonist of this era. He even had the idea of ​​developing Yan Ruyu into his confidante.

As if sensing the change in Li Zhi's mood, the golden dragon in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm suddenly let out a joyful dragon roar inside his body.

But at that moment, an idea flashed in Li Zhi's mind. Looking at Yan Ruyu in front of him, he suddenly remembered the Chaos Green Lotus that the Green Emperor had created with the help of Ye Fan's Sea of ​​Bitterness.

At that time, Li Zhi's heart was pounding, and he seemed to realize that he had done something extremely stupid.

Dragon nature is inherently licentious.

It seemed that the dragon's thoughts began to affect his normal thinking. Domineering and arrogant, looking down on the world, this was the temperament of a real dragon, not Li Zhi's temperament.

With the help of the supreme pure land of the Yao Chi Holy Land, Li Zhi secluded himself for a night and finally understood the reason.

The dragon energy in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest is poisonous.

Gradually, he began to evolve towards becoming a true dragon.

If he hadn't woken up in time, it wouldn't be long before his humanity would have been gradually replaced by dragon nature.

By then, Li Zhi would have no chance of achieving the Dao of Destruction, and it would be good enough if he did not turn into a wild beast dominated by desire.

Just as he said to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, the dragon energy in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest needs to be refined with imperial weapons to avoid side effects.

When he was refining his body in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, he absorbed countless amounts of dragon energy. Even dragon patterns appeared in his bones, and his body became as strong as if a real dragon had been reborn.

Li Zhi used to think this was a good thing, but now it seems that he has made the same mistake as before.

After shaking off the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Zhi said, "I am pursuing the immortal path. Yesterday, I suddenly realized that I had taken the wrong path, and even had a hint of blasphemy towards the fairy."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and said, "Master Changshou, what do you mean?"

"Fairy, please look." Li Zhi flipped his hand and took out a drop of black blood that was sealed by the divine source. There was a faint, heart-pounding aura flowing in that drop of blood, as if as long as it was unsealed, that drop of black blood would be able to kill a powerful person.

"Is this a drop of blood from an ancient sage?" Yan Ruyu asked in surprise.

"Yes, it is a drop of blood from an ancient sage, and it is blood that is infused with countless murderous and evil spirits. Originally, this is what I intended to use to resolve the conflicts with the various sects in the Central Region." Li Zhi said with a complicated expression.

This drop of blood was the blood of an ancient saint that he had drawn from the body of a warrior who was protecting the path, in order to deal with the pursuit of powerful forces. However, from the Tianxuan ruins in the Central Region to the Yaochi Holy Land in the Northern Region, he chose a completely different path.

Looking back now, from the moment he gave birth to the golden dragon, his subconscious mind had already begun to dominate the way he did things.

Guiding his temperament towards the temperament of a true dragon.

"Master Changshou, what's going on?" Yan Ruyu finally realized that something might really have happened to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said: "I have relied on too much external assistance to have my current level of Taoism. Although my level of Taoism has grown rapidly, I have not experienced the baptism of time and years, which has caused my origin to become alienated. Now, while I have not yet ascended to the immortal platform, there is still a chance to save myself, so I want to use the extreme imperial weapon to cut myself off. In this way, my own path will be restored."

Yan Ruyu said cautiously: "Using the imperial weapon to cut yourself will destroy your body and soul if you are not careful. And after being cut by the imperial weapon, even if you can survive by chance, it will be almost impossible for you to embark on the path of cultivation again."

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "So I need a fully revived imperial weapon to kill me, so that I can preserve my foundation and get rid of my old illness."

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu shook her head without even thinking, "No. I can't revive the Emperor's Soldier yet."

Li Zhi said, "Fairy Yan, you can use the heart left by the Green Emperor as a source of power to revive the Emperor's soldiers. I am willing to give you a magical egg of the Black Tortoise Immortal Elixir as compensation."

After saying that, Li Zhi took out the intact magical egg containing the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir.

Yan Ruyu looked at Li Zhi in shock, as if she had not expected that Li Zhi actually had the elixir of immortality.

The rumors turned out to be true.

After seeing the magical egg of the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, Yan Ruyu fell into a state of confusion.

The fruit of the elixir of immortality has unparalleled appeal to a descendant of the elixir of immortality like her who carries the blood of the Chaos Green Lotus. It allows her to continue purifying the Chaos Green Lotus essence in her body, thereby allowing her bloodline to evolve.

Seeing Yan Ruyu in hesitation, Li Zhi said, "Fairy Yan, the golden age is coming. If you can't become stronger quickly, you will eventually be abandoned by the times. You and I are both people without direct elders to take care of us, and we don't have real protectors. If you want to occupy a place in this golden age, you must not fall behind in the early stages of cultivation.

Now, the ancient tribes are about to return.

By that time, the bloodlines of various ancient emperors will also be born. As a descendant of the Green Emperor, the fairy's status and position should be no worse than those of the ancient emperors.

However, according to the fairy's current talent, although it is slightly better than the Eastern Wilderness Divine King Body, it is probably still inferior to those monsters with truly powerful talents. Whether it is the Ji family's divine body or the Jiang family's divine body, they are backed by the ancient family, and there will be a steady stream of resources for cultivation in the future.

Although the fairy is also taken care of by several powerful demons, can they have the foundation of the ancient families?

This magical medicine egg can definitely help your bloodline power reach a higher level, and perhaps you will have the chance to reach the level of a true emperor's biological son."

"When do you need the help of the Imperial Army?"

Finally, after Li Zhi's lobbying, Yan Ruyu finally made up her mind and decided to lend him the imperial soldiers.

With the Green Emperor's heart in hand, the Green Lotus Emperor Soldier is actually the easiest weapon to revive among all the imperial weapons in the Eastern Wilderness. The Emperor's heart will continuously provide the Imperial Soldier with the magic power of the Emperor level.

After Li Zhi gave Yan Ruyu the magical egg of Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, he said, "The sooner the better."
