Chapter 164 Only today did you know that I am me

No third party knew about the transaction between Li Zhi and Yan Ruyu.

It was agreed that after a few days, he would commit suicide by beheading in an uninhabited area near the oasis where the Yao Chi Holy Land was located.

The reason why he chose to commit suicide near the Yao Chi Holy Land was to prevent any accidents from happening.

The ancient creatures are reviving, and an ancient saint-level ancestor king is born. As the holy land closest to the Taichu Ancient Mine, the Yao Chi Holy Land will definitely formulate a strategy to deal with the birth of ancient creatures. Maybe some of the ancient saints sealed in the divine source in the Yao Chi Holy Land have been awakened from their slumber, and will break out of the source at the critical moment.

Previously, Li Zhi's performance at the Peach Festival was too conspicuous, even to the point of being a little abnormal. Those powerful people at the time might not have figured out the reason.

But now, after the influence of Li Zhida's deceiving power on everyone has disappeared, those powerful people will eventually realize the problem.

The problems that Ye Fan can realize are definitely also realized by those powerful people who have lived for thousands of years.

Just after Li Zhi and Yan Ruyu discussed borrowing the Green Lotus Emperor's soldiers, the Queen Mother of the West sent a disciple from the West to invite Li Zhi over for a chat.

Deep in the pure land of Yaochi, there is a sense of spiritual beauty everywhere, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and ancient trees and vines everywhere.

Under the guidance of that disciple, Li Zhi came for the first time to the place where the Queen Mother of the West usually practiced.

After entering the hall, Li Zhi saw five people, namely: Queen Mother of the Yaochi, Saint Maiden of the Yaochi, Elder Yang Qian, and two strange middle-aged women with strong auras.

"Greetings, seniors." Li Zhi saluted those powerful men.

The Queen Mother of the Yao Chi waved her hand to let the Yao Chi disciple who was leading the way leave, then closed the door of the hall and opened the magic circle in the hall. In addition to the usual defensive barrier, it seemed that the Heaven-Deceiving Dao Pattern was also activated.

Li Zhi, who saw this scene, did not show any worry, but instead surprised Queen Mother of the West and others.

Once the magic circle in this hall is activated, even a king can be trapped and killed in the hall.

If a normal cultivator saw them activating the trap without saying a word, he would definitely look worried or confused.

Li Zhi's reaction seemed a little too bland.

"Who are you?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi stared at Li Zhi for a long time and asked first.

"I am Li Zhi, and my Taoist name is Changshou." Li Zhi said calmly.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not believe what Li Zhi said. Instead, she showed a trace of worry and turned to look at the Queen Mother of Yao Chi.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi stood up from the cloud platform, stared at Li Zhi with great majesty and said, "This is the important place of Yaochi. My fellow Taoist from Wanlongchao, you can't leave today no matter what. Please leave Changshou's body, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Elder Yang Qian and two other secluded elders at the king level all released their ultimate murderous intent and locked onto Li Zhi.

It seemed that if he dared to make any unusual movement, he would be killed on the spot.

"Four seniors, this is a misunderstanding. I have not been possessed by the ancestor king of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. I am still myself." Li Zhi said hurriedly.

"Fellow Daoist from the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, you may be able to deceive the world but you cannot deceive my discerning eyes. My Yao Chi Holy Land is definitely not a place where you can act so recklessly." The Queen Mother of Yao Chi seemed to be angry, and murderous intent was lurking in her words.

"Senior, I am really myself, not some ancient creature from the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest." Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger, he could feel the kindness of the Yao Chi Holy Land towards him, but the suspicion that he was parasitized by an ancient creature made Li Zhi feel a bit amused.

Seeing that Li Zhi did not admit that he was parasitized by the ancient creature, the Queen Mother of Yaochi said to the two kings beside her: "Two uncles, I'm sorry to bother you."

The two reclusive elders instantly appeared beside Li Zhi, imprisoned him with the power of the king at the same time, and then each of them pointed a finger at Li Zhi's temple.

It seems that he is using the supreme secret technique in the "Western Emperor Sutra".

Li Zhi instantly felt his soul being separated from his body, and then a king's power began to invade his body.

At the same time, Li Zhi's five senses were sealed, and he completely lost all perception of the outside world.

Seeing Li Zhi being subdued without any resistance, Queen Mother of the Yao Chi, Elder Yang Qian, and the Saint Maiden of the Yao Chi all had a strange look in their eyes.

It seemed that Li Zhi's reaction was different from what they expected.

The two kings who were investigating Li Zhi's body also showed a look of surprise and doubt on their faces.

Elder Yang Qian asked, "Uncle Master, did you find anything?"

One of the elders spoke up and said, "It is undoubtedly the bloodline of the human race, but it is a little strange. His body seems to be evolving in the direction of a true dragon, and a strong true dragon power has been bred in his body."

"Isn't that the way to transform into a dragon that only the demon race can do? How is it possible for us humans to evolve into a true dragon?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi with some confusion.

Another reclusive elder said, "This is exactly what I find strange. There is clearly no sign of being parasitized by a powerful being, but the body is evolving towards the direction of a true dragon. This is indeed somewhat unbelievable."

Yaochi Queen Mother asked, "Two uncles, are you sure Changshou is not parasitized by the ancestor king in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest?"

The hidden elder nodded and said, "It is certain that there is no life mark of other people in his body, and he is not parasitized by a strong person."

Elder Yang Qian showed a trace of doubt and said, "If he was not parasitized by a powerful person, how did he cross the eternal divine ban and defeat the powerful? Changshou should not have practiced a single secret realm method. Even if his bitter sea is different from that of ordinary people, it only has some advantages in the realm below the powerful. It is impossible for him to have the strength to defeat the powerful in the Hualong Secret Realm.

That fellow Taoist from the Purple Mansion Holy Land, although he has not been a powerful person for long, has also reached the third level of the second level of the Immortal Realm. There is a difference of twelve or thirteen small realms between the two, not to mention that there are two large realms in between. Even if the Great Emperor Wu Shi was resurrected, he would not be able to do this, right? "

After thinking for a moment, Queen Mother Yao Chi said, "Two uncles, please focus on checking his Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. That golden dragon seems to be the real reason for his strength."

When the two kings invaded Li Zhi's Dragon Transformation Secret Realm with their divine powers, a nine-foot-long divine dragon suddenly flew out of Li Zhi's Dragon Transformation Secret Realm to the outside world.

"Roar!" The golden dragon let out an angry roar, as if it was extremely angry about being disturbed.

However, when faced with two king-level warriors, the Golden Dragon had almost no power to resist.

He was directly imprisoned in the void by two reclusive elders of Yao Chi.

"Such pure and domineering dragon power." Elder Yang Qian looked at the golden dragon carefully and exclaimed in amazement.

"This is a divine dragon formed purely from dragon energy, and it actually has some intelligence. It's incredible. It has the potential to transform into a real living being." A reclusive elder did not find any other abnormalities in the golden dragon, but when he sensed the strength of the golden dragon that was almost comparable to the late first level of the Immortal Realm, he couldn't help but praise it.

"Could it be that Changshou was able to kill the powerful immortal simply by relying on this golden dragon transformed from dragon energy?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also said curiously.

But at this moment, the two king-level elders showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

Seeing this, Queen Mother Yao Chi hurriedly asked, "Master, do you have any new discoveries?"

The two kings said almost at the same time: "There are big problems with his Lunhai Secret Realm and Dao Palace Secret Realm. We can't even see the true situation in these two secret realms."

"What?" It can even obscure the king's divine consciousness. How mysterious it is.

The Queen Mother of the Yao Chi, Elder Yang Qian, and the Saint Maiden of the Yao Chi came to Li Zhi almost at the same time, and used their divine senses to look at Li Zhi's two secret realms, the Wheel Sea and the Taoist Palace.

However, he discovered that Li Zhi's Wheel Sea Secret Realm was filled with darkness and confusion. He could neither see the Sea of ​​Bitterness nor the Fountain of Life, and he could not even sense the existence of the Divine Bridge and the other side of the world.

It seemed like just an empty space.

The situation was similar for the Taoist Palace Secret Realm. Although there were mysterious chanting sounds heard in Li Zhi's Taoist Palace Secret Realm, they did not see the existence of the gods of Li Zhi's Taoist Palace. All they saw were five groups of mysterious light.

On the contrary, they saw clearly the situations in Li Zhi's Four Extremes Secret Realm and Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Within the Four Extreme Secret Realms, each of them sits a black immortal mountain with a terrifying aura, emitting a rich aura of the Immortal Mountain, which made the faces of several people change slightly.

The nine levels of heaven and earth within the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm are extremely vast, and are connected to each other by a dragon-shaped staircase. It looks very grand and spectacular, as if it is the home of a real dragon.

"No wonder Changshou is so powerful. The space of his Four Extremes Secret Realm and Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is much larger than those of ordinary cultivators. When I entered the first level of the Immortal Platform, the space of these two secret realms was not as wide as his now." Yang Qian said with some emotion.

"Master, isn't it a bad idea for us to explore the secret of Changshou in this way?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi compared the gap between herself and Li Zhi, and felt the pressure increased a lot instantly.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi smiled at the Saint of Yaochi and said, "Silly girl, this is for your own good. When he wakes up, you can blame me. I will bear all the misunderstandings. Now that you have explored the secret realm in Changshou's body, you should have a clear understanding of the gap between you two. It will be good for your cultivation."

Yaochi Saint said: "But."

Elder Yang Qian interrupted her and said, "Yao'er, there's nothing to worry about. For the safety of Yao Chi, and to prevent ancient creatures from infiltrating our human race to sabotage us, I believe Changshou will understand what we did to him today."

The Queen Mother of Yaochi nodded and said, "Yao'er, please go out first. You have nothing to do here. We will explain everything to Changshou later."

Yao Chi Saint Lady wanted to stay, but after seeing the irresistible look from the Queen Mother, she said, "Disciple, I will leave."

Afterwards, only two mighty men and two kings, as well as the imprisoned Li Zhi, were left in the hall.

Yaochi Queen Mother said: "Uncle Master, let's let go of Changshou. This child's cultivation probably increased too quickly, and he lacked worldly experience, so his character was affected a little."

The two kings nodded, and then removed the seals and restrictions on Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi regained his five senses, he saw the four seniors who seemed as if nothing had happened, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Elder Yang Qian saw that Li Zhi had regained his senses, so she smiled and said to him, "I invited you here today to first check whether you have been parasitized by ancient creatures, and secondly, to talk to you about ancient creatures. The two uncles have checked just now, and you are not parasitized by ancient creatures. Now let's talk about your life experience in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest."

After hearing what Yang Qian said, Li Zhi was dumbfounded. He was actually examined by the Elder of Yao Chi.

When did the Yao Chi Holy Land become so overbearing? It seemed that they didn't even ask for his opinion. Fortunately, all his magical treasures were usually kept in the Hundred Herbs Map, and only some pure sources were placed in the Wheel Sea.

I'm not afraid of being discovered by the other party. But, I'm afraid the secret of my physical condition will be exposed?

In fact, what Li Zhi didn’t know was that they hadn’t seen the true situation in his two most important secret realms, the Wheel Sea and the Dao Palace.

But where is the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi? We have disappeared. How long have we been being monitored by the other party?
Li Zhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Maybe the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi left because she saw something she shouldn't have seen.

Otherwise, why would these four seniors in front of him have a strange look of embarrassment between their brows?

Both parties felt awkward, making the atmosphere in the hall even weirder.

Seeing that Li Zhi had a forced smile on his face, Elder Yang Qian continued to ask, "Changshou, how much do you know about the ancient creatures? Now the ancient creatures in the Taichu Mine have sent a letter saying that all the ancient creatures will revive one after another within the next year to five thousand years. How do you think our human race should respond?"

Yang Qian was extremely embarrassed at this moment, but she was the youngest and had the lowest status. The Queen Mother of Yaochi was not only her senior sister, but also the Holy Lord of Yaochi, and the other two secluded elders were even more so, they were figures of the same level as her senior uncles.

As everyone felt awkward, she, the youngest, had to speak up.

Facing Elder Yang Qian's question, Li Zhi said: "I don't know much about ancient creatures. I only know that there are several tribes with ancient imperial soldiers. Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, Blood Phoenix Mountain, Qilin Cave, and Divine Silkworm Ridge."

As Li Zhi talked freely, the awkwardness in the hearts of the four Yao Chi warriors gradually disappeared.

Finally, Queen Mother Yao Chi said, "Now it seems that if we want to live in peace with the ancient tribes, you young people need to grow up quickly. Changshou, Zhongzhou's Qishi Mansion will be open again after ten thousand years. After a few days, when the Peach Festival is over, you and Yao'er can go to Qishi Mansion to practice."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I will go to the Qishi Mansion, so I won't take up the quota of the Yao Chi sisters. They also need to go to the Qishi Mansion to practice."

"With your talent, even without the recommendation of the Holy Land, the House of Strange Men will not reject you."

Then the Queen Mother of Yaochi said, "Changshou, everything is fine here. You can go and communicate with those young monks."

Looking at Li Zhi's disappearing back, Elder Yang Qian said, "I hope Changshou won't have any grudges in his heart."

A reclusive elder said, "It all depends on what Yao'er does. Don't worry, young people don't bear grudges. I think Changshou is quite polite and respectful to his elders."

After leaving the hall, Li Zhi did not look for those young people to communicate.

Instead, he returned to the residence prepared for him in the Holy Land of Yao Chi, where he wanted to adjust his physical and mental state to the best.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Zhi recalled every detail of his time in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand why the ruthless emperor wanted to imprison him near the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest and not let him leave.

This is to eliminate the hidden dangers in him.

With the help of the boundless pressure of the chaotic aura, all the chronic illnesses in the body can be worn away bit by bit.

Perhaps, when he can truly rely on his own strength to penetrate that layer of chaotic aura barrier, that will be the day when he can completely erase the influence of the Ten Thousand Dragon King's aura on him.

Thinking back to every detail of the ruthless emperor, Li Zhi discovered that the ruthless emperor would not kill a true genius.

Perhaps those slaves in the ancient forbidden area were given a chance of immortality by the ruthless emperor who took pity on the difficult practice of the geniuses so that they would not die of old age.

Perhaps he was wrong. He forcibly left the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest, which made him lose an opportunity to resolve his own hidden dangers.

But Li Zhi did not regret it.

Fortunately, he discovered the hidden danger in time and did not continue practicing with the hidden danger.

A few days later, Li Zhi and Yan Ruyu quietly left the oasis where the Yao Chi Holy Land was located.

Then, under the energy provided by the Green Emperor's heart, the Green Lotus Emperor Soldier was completely revived.

An extremely powerful divine power burst out instantly, as if the Green Emperor had been resurrected, and that supreme aura terrified all living beings.

Above the land of Eastern Wilderness, several powerful auras of extreme righteousness suddenly rose up, echoing it from afar.

The Fairy Tear Tower in the sacred land of Yao Chi revealed its true form, becoming incomparably huge, releasing rays of fairy light to protect the entire Yao Chi.

On the vast land of the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness, in the territories of the major ancient royal families, some of the resurrected ancestral kings showed expressions of horror.

"How could the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly revive?" Countless people showed expressions of horror and confusion.

At this moment, the extreme divine power released by the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The Peacock King, the Red Dragon Taoist, the Green Dragon King and other powerful demons instantly flew towards the direction where the breath appeared. They were worried that Yan Ruyu was in a life-and-death crisis.

Upon seeing this, other powerful men also chased after him.

Inside the Yao Chi Holy Land, a piece of stone that had been very active suddenly fell silent at this moment.

"Princess, have you encountered a powerful enemy?"

On the way, everyone saw Yan Ruyu flying towards the Yao Chi Holy Land unharmed, and they all stopped and asked.

"I'm sorry to have worried you seniors. Ruyu is fine." Yan Ruyu's voice was like the sound of nature, and she spoke to everyone very calmly, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.

"The imperial soldiers have revived. Could it be that Yan Ruyu has met the ancient ancestor king?" Some people said with a worried look on their faces.

Afterwards, Yan Ruyu was invited into the pure land of Yaochi.

And in the no-man's land, 30,000 meters deep underground, inside the coffin of life.

Li Zhi is now experiencing the most horrific torture in his life.

Even though he had communicated with the deity of the Green Lotus Emperor Soldier beforehand and knew that his life would not be taken nor his foundation destroyed, the feeling after being cut by the chaotic sword energy released by the Chaos Green Lotus was simply indescribable.

Perhaps he is the only one in the entire Eastern Wilderness who dares to use the imperial weapon to kill himself.

Inside the head, the soul shrank by almost one third, and the soul that had been strengthened by the magic pill seemed to have lost part of its origin.

Within the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, the nine-zhang-long golden dragon has now turned into a nine-inch-long little dragon. Nine drops of something suspected to be dragon blood are flowing in the little dragon's body. The little dragon does not have any divine power at all, as if it had just broken out of its shell. It also has no spirituality at all, curled up into a ball, and sleeping in the first heaven of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Within the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the four tall, majestic, black immortal mountains have now turned into four brick-sized green stones.

Within the secret realm of the Taoist Palace, the five companion immortal trees have all degenerated into the state of newly sprouted grass.

Within the secret realm of Lunhai, the silver sea of ​​suffering had lost all its silver light and turned into a pitch-black color. On the fairy trees in the fairyland on the other side, the leaves that were similar in shape to the leaves of the ancient tea tree of enlightenment had all withered.

The fairy trees on the sacred mountain became shorter as a result, but the mysterious Taoist temple, sacred mountain and three-story altar in the fairyland on the other side did not change at all.

At the same time, the silver-red blood in Li Zhi's body also faded from its silver color and turned back into the same red as that of ordinary people, as if the origin of his immortal body had been cut off.

Moreover, all the golden dragon patterns on Li Zhi's bones disappeared.

Even the size of the four secret realms, namely the Wheel Sea, the Dao Palace, the Four Poles, and the Dragon Transformation, which he had opened up, were condensed by half to only half of their original size.

This is the change in Li Zhi's body.

In appearance, Li Zhijiang's height of 1.9 meters was shrinking rapidly, and soon became only about 1.6 meters.

His face also changed from his original handsome appearance to one that was almost exactly the same as when he was fifteen or sixteen years old on Earth.

And inside the Coffin of Life, a special life essence continuously emanated from Li Zhi's body.

There is the life essence belonging to the immortal peach elixir, the life essence belonging to the ginseng fruit, the life essence belonging to the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, the life essence belonging to the real dragon elixir, and the life essence belonging to the black tortoise elixir.

There is also a pure energy of the dragon veins of the earth, a pure silver energy and blood force, a pure essence of the soul, and other special life essences.

In the end, all of these life essences were absorbed by the human-shaped immortality medicine that had grown to the waist. Then the human-shaped immortality medicine began to grow rapidly, directly growing out of the abdomen, and finally stopped growing when it reached the heart.

Li Zhi's aura also began to drop rapidly, as if he had turned into a very ordinary cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

However, after experiencing this extreme torture, his soul gained a sense of great freedom and ease.

It was as if a layer of powerful armor had been peeled off from his true spirit, allowing him to become himself again.

Although the soul, body, and magic power were all reduced by more than half.

But my spiritual perception and understanding seemed to be truly liberated, as if a rocket engine was installed on a car, and it could speed away in an instant.

Three days later, Li Zhi finally woke up from the transformation. After feeling the changes in himself, he burst into laughter on the spot.

"Ha ha."

Afterwards, Li Zhi sang a ballad and drove the Coffin of Life to the ground.

"I have a heart of Taoism, but have been shackled by immortality for a long time. Today, I have shed my immortal body and realized that I am still myself."
