Chapter 176 The Immortal Palace is about to open
Southeast of Qishi Mansion, three thousand miles away, on the wasteland.

Ten thousand dragons roared, their roars shook the sky, resounding throughout the heavens and earth. Mountains and rivers collapsed, the earth sank, and it was a scene of doom.

A vast aura of thunder and lightning spread out from the purple-black sky and earth, causing many geniuses who were cultivating in the Qi Shi Mansion to sense the heart-pounding aura of thunder and lightning.

Many cultivators walked out of the cave, flew up to the sky and looked over there.

There were also many cultivators who, due to their limited cultivation level, were unable to see the scene three thousand miles away, so they flew out of the Qi Shi Mansion and flew towards the place where the thunder tribulation erupted.

However, when they arrived at a place five hundred miles away from the place where the thunder disaster broke out, a powerful person from the Qishi Mansion suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Teacher, who is going through the tribulation? Can we get closer and observe?" a student asked the powerful man.

"Go back. That kind of thunder tribulation is not something you can observe. Anyone who is infected by a trace of the aura of the heavenly tribulation will be destroyed on the spot." The powerful man said with a serious face.

Although everyone was curious, few of them really didn't care about their own lives, and they stopped after listening to the advice.

And deep inside the Qi Shi Mansion, the Southern Demon Qi Lin walked out of his secluded cave and stood high in the sky, with black hair like a waterfall and deep eyes, watching the scene of Li Zhi transcending the tribulation three thousand miles away.

Princess Qi and other geniuses of the Nanling demon clan came to his side one after another.

"Brother, who is going through the tribulation over there?" The pearl of the demon clan in Nanling was calm and natural at this moment, and was full of curiosity.

Two purple rays shot out from the eyes of the Southern Demon Qi Lin, outlining the scene of Li Zhi transcending the tribulation in the void.

"Is this a real dragon undergoing a thunder tribulation?" After seeing the scene in the thunder tribulation, the geniuses of the demon clan in Nanling all showed shocked expressions.

In the picture, a golden dragon is fighting with eighty-one purple dragons.

Moreover, each celestial dragon exuded a powerful aura that surpassed that of a half-step powerful being, but was still just a little bit away from being a true powerful being.

The golden dragon was extremely brave, as if it had mastered the legendary Nine Transformations of a True Dragon. It moved freely in the sea of ​​thunder, fighting with the eighty-one celestial dragons.

The pure dragon might made all the geniuses of the demon clan present feel an overwhelming pressure coming from their blood.

In Nan Yao's eyes, there seemed to be endless stars disappearing, constantly outlining the Taoist rhyme of the golden dragon, as if he wanted to steal its skills.

On another ancient mountain in Qishi Mansion, Northern Emperor Wang Teng also looked in the direction where Li Zhi was transcending the tribulation.

Beside him, there were nine real dragons, nine divine phoenixes, nine white tigers, and nine black tortoises, flashing divine light and transforming into the Four Symbols, surrounding him.

The aura was terrifying and the vision was shocking, as if the Emperor of Heaven had descended to the earth, exuding a desolate and powerful aura.

Beside him, Wang Chong asked, "Brother, who is going through the tribulation near Qishi Mansion? Why can we feel the boundless tribulation energy from such a long distance? What kind of thunder tribulation is it that emits such a strong tribulation energy?"

Wang Teng looked serious, with the mysterious rune flashing in his eyes, as if he could see through Li Zhi's true form. Unfortunately, despite his magical heavenly eyes and his great cultivation, he still couldn't tell Li Zhi's true form. He said, "A golden dragon is going through the great dragon tribulation."

The Golden Dragon only exuded the aura of the Ninth Level of Dragon Transformation, but it was able to fight against eighty-one Thunder Dragons that were at the extreme state of half-step great power. This terrifying fighting power made Wang Teng feel a sense of pressure.

He claims to be the reincarnation of an ancient emperor, but has never been to the legendary forbidden realm of the gods. He only possesses the combat power of the Eight Forbidden Realms.

Now, seeing a golden dragon, it seems to be in a state of eternal divine prohibition, fighting against eighty-one thunder dragons that are comparable to the powerful ones, and it is still at ease. This astonishing fighting power makes people feel fearful.

On the top of another high mountain in Qi Shi Mansion, a man who looked to be in his twenties, with an imposing and powerful appearance, accompanied by a deputy lord of Qi Shi Mansion, was observing the tribulation scene three thousand miles away.

"Senior, is he the longevity Taoist priest that the Palace Master mentioned?" the young man asked the Deputy Palace Master.

"Yufei, Taoist Changshou's situation is special. The old palace lord favors him very much. You can communicate with him when you are free. Maybe it will be helpful to your future practice." said the deputy palace lord.

This young man turned out to be Emperor Xiang Yufei, who was saved by Qishi Mansion at the cost of countless rare treasures.

In other places, people also saw the scene of Li Zhi transcending the tribulation.

Among them, some are amazed, some are envious, some are afraid, and some are yearning.

Duan De also saw the scene of Li Zhi undergoing the tribulation, so he slipped out of the Qi Shi Mansion without anyone noticing, revealed his true appearance, and walked towards the place where Li Zhi was undergoing the tribulation.

Inside the Qishi Mansion, the Holy Son Yaoguang sat on a mountain, shrouded in a layer of chaotic mist. In his eyes, he saw the scene of Li Zhi fighting against Lei Dao Tianlong. He said to himself, "Daoyou Changshou, have you also come to the Qishi Mansion? You actually cut off the origin of the immortal body of longevity. You are so courageous. But why did you cut off the origin of the immortal body of longevity?"

Every time he met Li Zhi, Saint Yaoguang had the illusion that he was being seen through, as if Li Zhi had already seen through his true colors.

Now that the Holy Son Yaoguang has arrived at the Xiantai Secret Realm, he is still not completely sure that he can suppress Li Zhi and get the answers he wants to know from Li Zhi's mouth.

His intuition told him that Li Zhi seemed to be able to help him achieve his ultimate goal.

When it comes to Li Zhi, Saint Yaoguang feels both fear and expectation.

However, Li Zhi's whereabouts remained a mystery and his whereabouts could not be deduced at all. He had tried to send people to look for Li Zhi, but unfortunately found nothing.

In the back mountain of Qi Shi Mansion, inside the old mansion lord’s cave, the old mansion lord and the current mansion lord can clearly see the scene of Li Zhi transcending the tribulation three thousand miles away without having to leave the cave.

The current palace master said: "Young friend Changshou is indeed extraordinary. He seems to have entered the eternal forbidden realm. But this is the supreme realm where only the ancient emperors can stay permanently."

But the old mansion master shook his head and said: "He has not entered the forbidden realm of the gods, and is not even within the forbidden realm of the eight."

The current palace master's expression changed slightly, and he said, "How is this possible? How did he cross nine small realms to fight the enemy when he is not in the forbidden realm of the gods?"

The old mansion master said, "This is the power of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm that young friend Changshou has cultivated. What do you think of the golden dragon?"

The current palace master said: "Didn't he use his magical powers to transform it?"

The old mansion master shook his head and said, "It is not transformed by magical power, but a real golden dragon. Changshou now is equivalent to two Changshous fused together to fight the enemy. That golden dragon is a special fruit of the Tao that Da cultivated in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. It almost combines the three kinds of true dragon changes: the changes of heaven, the changes of earth, and the changes of humanity."

The current palace master asked, "But I clearly sensed the fluctuation of Qi and blood from him. Could it be that his Dao Fruit has already transformed into an independent life? I'm afraid that even the resurrected ancient gods can't do this, right?"

The old mansion master said, "This is exactly what I can't figure out. If he hadn't fought with the Thunder Dragon and leaked a trace of real dragon blood, I wouldn't have realized that he had cultivated this golden dragon to the stage of flesh and blood derivatives and evolved a real flesh and blood body."

Li Zhi, who was fighting with the Thunder Dragon in the sea of ​​thunder, saw that the super dragon calamity was coming to an end, and the golden dragon slowly sank into his body.

And fused with his spine.

Afterwards, Li Zhi, who had transformed into a human form again, took a step forward, broke through the sea of ​​thunder, and entered a mysterious thunder space.

Sitting directly on an ancient real dragon platform in the Thunder World.

In an instant, eighty-one thunder dragons flew back from the outside world and began to bombard Li Zhi's body.

For a moment, dragon energy overflowed from Li Zhi's body, and a "dong dong" sound like a drum was heard within his body.

It was like a human-shaped drum, being bombarded by eighty-one thunder dragons.

During the thunder dragon's bombardment, Li Zhi's body turned into a dough and was blasted into a meat ball.

Only a curved spine emitting surging dragon energy supported the meat ball and prevented it from exploding.

In the outside world, everyone has lost track of Li Zhi.

All that could be seen was a gradually shrinking calamity cloud.

An hour later, a ball of flesh emitting mysterious golden light and surging dragon energy suddenly fell from the thundercloud.

It's a surprise.

"Failed to overcome the tribulation?"

Many people have this doubt in their minds.

Just as Li Zhi was about to land, Duan De suddenly appeared right below the meatball, waved his hand to collect Li Zhi, and then disappeared in a flash. After seeing this scene, the current owner of Qishi Mansion was furious and asked, "Who is it?"

The old palace master was the only cultivator who saw Duan De taking Li Zhi away and returning to the Qishi Palace.

"Changshou is fine. He has been brought back. He will show up soon." The old palace lord said to the current palace lord.

Then he returned to his tavern.

In Duan De's cave, Li Zhi, who had turned into a ball of flesh, was placed on a stone platform by Duan De.

Watching Li Zhi turning into a meat ball, Duan De praised him repeatedly: "You are really ruthless to yourself, you even use the dragon energy to forge your body with the help of heavenly thunder, and you are not afraid of hurting the essence of your body."

Three full days passed before Li Zhi, who had turned into a meat ball, began to move.

All the golden light and dragon energy in his body began to converge, and the sound of an eggshell breaking was heard on his body.

After a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, a layer of flesh shell that was one centimeter thick cracked.

Li Zhi woke up and walked out of his shell naked. His skin was as white as fairy jade, his bones were as white as divine gold, and he exuded a refreshing fragrance all over his body.

"Comfortable!" Li Zhi felt his whole body refreshed, as if he had experienced an extremely thorough massage, and could not help but let out a happy sound.

But soon, he discovered that this did not seem to be the old master's cave.

"Hey, little Li Zhi, isn't it cool to walk your bird here with me?" Just as Li Zhi was looking at this strange cave, Duan De's voice sounded behind him.

"Uncle Taoist priest, why are you here?" Li Zhi turned his head quickly and was a little surprised when he saw Duan De's chubby face.

He thought it was the old master who brought him back, but he didn't expect that after replying, he saw Duan De.

"Little Li Zhi, how long do you want to stay here with me?" Duan De laughed again.

Li Zhi then realized that he was naked.

After quickly putting on a brand new Taoist robe, Li Zhi walked down from the bluestone.

Li Zhi did not feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Uncle Taoist, you actually sneaked into the Qishi Mansion. Are you planning to go after that immortal burial world?"

Duan De's eyes lit up and he said, "You know a lot, kid."

Li Zhi said: "Thanks to the teachings of Uncle Taoist, otherwise I would not have discovered the existence of the immortal burial ground here. According to my observation, the immortal burial ground of Qishi Mansion must contain the remains of the ancient emperor."

Duan De said, "Good boy, I have taught you the Dharma in vain. You have actually investigated this thoroughly."

Afterwards, Duan De looked Li Zhi up and down and said, "You little brat, it's only been a few years since we last met, and you've grown to this level. The Saint Cave in the Qishi Mansion is open to you. If I didn't know your background, I would really think you were the illegitimate son of some mansion master."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just boasted in front of the old mansion master. The old mansion master thought I was a talent, so he lent me his cave for temporary use."

Duan De said, "You are all grown up now, so don't call me Uncle Taoist anymore. It makes me sound so old."

Li Zhi said: "Then what should I call you? Master Duan, that's so unfamiliar. I call you the headmaster, but you don't acknowledge me." Duan De's real age is so old that it can't be described by years. He is lucky to be called uncle.

Duan De was speechless for a while and said, "It's up to you."

After the two chatted for a while, he asked, "Little Li Zhi, how long have you been in Qishi Mansion?"

Li Zhi said, "I have been in Qishi Mansion for less than three months. Uncle Taoist, do you have anything for me to do?"

Duan De seemed to really need help, so he nodded and asked, "Then what level have you reached in practicing the Feng Shui Burial Scripture that I taught you?"

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I'm pretty good at practicing Feng Shui. Controlling the dragon veins of the earth is no problem. Burial Sutra is not so good. There are not so many big tombs for me to dig and practice. Uncle Taoist, have you made a fortune?"

Duan De said: "How can I make a fortune? I almost lost my life in order to sacrifice the soldier spirits."

Li Zhi said, "You have the Emperor's Arms protecting you, so why worry about not having treasures? When the Immortal Burial Ground opens this time, you must take me with you, Uncle Taoist, so that I can also make a little fortune."

Duan De smiled and said, "That depends on your performance."

Finally, Li Zhi said, "I'll come to you when the time comes. I've just survived the calamity, so I'll go consolidate my cultivation first."

Duan De said: "Go ahead, but don't reveal my identity."

Before leaving, Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Uncle Taoist priest, do you have any method to forge the body through the calamity of heaven and earth?"

Duan De was a little surprised and asked, "What do you want this method for?"

Li Zhi said: "As I am about to enter the Xiantai Secret Realm, I find that the effect of the thunder tribulation to forge my body is no longer as miraculous as it was at the beginning. I need to use various extreme environments to temper my body."

Duan De thought for a moment and said, "I do have such a method, but I don't know if you can endure the pain."

Li Zhi said: "As long as I can become stronger, I can endure any hardship."

Duan De said with a rare serious look: "Well, today I will teach you a supreme method, the body training chapter of the "Heavenly Tribulation Art". But you must remember that you must not lose your virginity until you have practiced this method to the great perfection realm."

Li Zhi asked: "I have already lost my virginity, can I still practice?"

Duan De said, "You lost your virginity? When did you lose your virginity? How come I didn't see it?"

Li Zhi asked: "So I am still a pure yang body?"

Duan De said: "Of course you have a pure Yang body."

Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh that the empress's methods were truly amazing. After regaining her youth, she seemed to be reborn.

Then, Li Zhi asked: "What level is considered great success?"

Duan De suddenly smiled and said, "Your body is comparable to that of an emperor, and this body-building technique has been perfected. Do you still want to learn it now?"

Li Zhi's eyes sparkled as he said, "Of course I have to learn. That's the body of a great emperor, a level that many unrivaled geniuses can only dream of but cannot reach. You'd be a fool not to learn."

Duan De showed a hint of approval in his eyes and said, "Well, I was right about you."

Afterwards, Duan De taught Li Zhi the body-building chapter of "The Heavenly Art of Overcoming Tribulations".

After remembering it, Li Zhi showed a trace of doubt and asked, "Uncle Taoist, is this technique too simple?"

Duan De said, "The great way is simple. The truly brilliant cultivation methods are all simple and clear. As for the real method of cultivation, it requires the cultivator to comprehend it in the process of tempering. The body-refining method I passed on to you is the general outline of body-refining, a framework. What level you can truly reach requires you to comprehend, develop, and fill in. Although I also have a detailed cultivation method, that is the method I comprehended, and it may not be suitable for you."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I understand."

Duan De said: "Then I will wait for your good news. This time the Immortal Palace World is open, let those cultivators see our methods."

Li Zhi said, "Uncle Taoist priest, I will go back first."

Afterwards, Li Zhi quietly left Duan De's cave, changed into a new appearance, and walked among the mountains and rivers of Qishi Mansion.

As he walked, he arrived at the tavern opened by the old owner of the mansion.

At this time, the old master had become the shopkeeper again and was entertaining two tables of young guests with drinks.

Li Zhi happened to know the people at those two tables, so he walked in.
