Chapter 183 The Great Emperor’s Dao Diagram
The world of immortals is full of dangers and crises. Even if you embark on a specially selected safe path, you will encounter insurmountable barriers.

In the swamp, the golden toad and the ichthyosaur crocodile, which were comparable to the most powerful ones, blocked the way of Li Zhi and his group like two gatekeepers.

Seeing that the three great leaders were unable to kill the two ancient beasts, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"This immortal burial ground is really terrifying. There are Saint Lord-level Savage Beast Kings guarding all four directions. Two prehistoric species appeared in this swamp alone. I really don't know what kind of terrifying existence I will encounter after entering."

Soon a group of monks stepped into the swamp, as if they were going to borrow a path from here to enter the heavenly land.

Seeing that the three great leaders in the crowd had temporarily suppressed the two beast kings who were like gatekeepers, the blind old man immediately called out to everyone, saying, "Now is the time, let's go."

Then he was the first to rush towards the sky-high land.

As expected, he is an expert in divination and fortune-telling. His methods of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune are truly amazing.

Under the leadership of the blind old man, they crossed the swamp safely and entered the land that led to the sky.

Looking around, there are vast and boundless fairy cliffs, with purple mist rising high, and orchids and dragon grasses everywhere, as well as exotic flowers and trees, with almost no ordinary plants.

On the cliff, there are magical herbs that have been there for thousands of years. The faint fragrance wafts around, which makes people feel excited.

In front of the ancient cave, there are sacred vines winding around, the flowers are crystal clear, and some vines even have exotic fruits.

Before Li Zhi and his companions arrived, many cultivators had already entered Tongtian Land. People were climbing rocks to collect herbs, and looking for caves to pick fruits everywhere. Some cultivators even fought each other because of the carvings in the ancient caves. It soon evolved into a life-and-death fight, without any regard for their former friendship.

It seemed that after entering the heavenly land, everyone had lost the caution that a cultivator should have.

The old blind man seemed to be gloating as he said, "See? Who knows how many people will die today. It's just a few spiritual herbs and a sword technique that have led to a life-and-death fight. If the ancient scripture of the Great Emperor is really revealed, I'm afraid even the peerless emperor will have to fight to the death."

"Old senior, aren't you interested in those elixirs and relics?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

"I don't want to die early. The more I take from here, the more I will lose." The old blind man seemed to have told fortunes before coming in.

Then he asked Li Zhi, "Young Taoist priest, you don't seem to be very interested in those things. Can you tell me why? Logically speaking, those magical medicine carvings are very helpful to you young people."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I dare not enjoy the offerings in front of other people's tombstones casually, especially the subordinates of the Immortal Emperor. I am afraid that they will suddenly jump out and cause trouble for me one day."

Jue Youqing's eyes flashed with Buddha's light, and he rarely spoke and asked, "Daoyou Li, have you figured out the truth about this Tongtian land?"

The others also pricked up their ears.

Li Zhi said: "Don't you think those abrupt fairy cliffs are somewhat similar to tombstones? I dare to conclude that there is a large tomb under each fairy cliff here, and it is empty."

Jue Youqing asked curiously, "Why are those tombs empty?"

Li Zhi said, "Because it was hollowed out by the predecessors who entered the Immortal Mansion World before, look at those ancient caves under the Immortal Cliff, do they look like caves evolved from ancient robbers' holes? I estimate that many of the robbers' holes lead directly to the underground palace of the ancient mausoleum. If you want to get the immortal treasures, find a safe place and wait. I estimate that the real tomb of the great emperor will be opened by outsiders like us this time."

The old blind man was slightly stunned, then said, "Let me tell you a fortune."

Then, he took out dozens of tortoise shells and began to shake them in a black tortoise shell, muttering something, and then threw the tortoise shells on the ground.

After seeing the hexagram, the old blind man was a little surprised and said, "It's just as you said. The underground ancient tombs here are almost empty, and the emperor's tomb will be opened soon."

On the other side, Duan De also started communicating with Ye Fan.

They used the origin technique and the tomb technique respectively to observe this heavenly land.

Afterwards, Li Zhi said to Jue Youqing, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to go with me to see the remains of the Great Emperor around here? It is said that there is a heavenly map left by the Great Emperor. After cultivating it, it can allow the mind to enter the supreme realm of Taoism."

Jue Youqing nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Li Zhi said to Ye Fan and Duan De, "You guys go ahead and do your work. Fellow Daoist Jue Youqing and I are going to comprehend the Great Emperor's legacy."

Seeing Li Zhi and Jue Youqing leave, the barbarian Dongfang Ye asked in confusion: "Master Li, why don't you invite us to go and comprehend the Great Emperor's legacy together?"

The old blind man laughed and said, "Wild boy, have you grown muscles in your brain? You really didn't see it, or you were just pretending not to see it, that little Taoist priest was trying to get us out of the way so that he could show his affection to that pretty girl."

Dongfang Ye was surprised and said, "Senior, are you saying that Taoist Li is interested in Jue Youqing? Isn't Jue Youqing a Buddhist? How can he have worldly love?"

The old blind man patted Dongfang Ye on the shoulder and said, "It seems that you will not be able to find a stunning beauty to be your wife in the future."

Dongfang Ye was confused for a moment. Did this have anything to do with whether he could find a stunning beauty to be his wife?

Then the old blind man no longer paid attention to Dongfang Ye, but went to Ye Fan and Duan De and started discussing this piece of land that reached the sky.

On the other side, Jue Youqing, who left with Li Zhi, suddenly asked, "Master Li, are you trying to avoid them?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Your spiritual perception is really sharp. But don't worry, I won't interfere with your work. There is no benefit in following them, but we will inevitably fight. Since you are a Buddhist, you should talk instead of fight. Let's leave the fight to these laymen. Although you and I belong to different Buddhist sects, we still share the same philosophy of compassion."

Jue Youqing suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, as charming as the Buddha smiling at a flower, and said: "Master Li, you are really a special Taoist."

Li Zhi said: "I am not special at all. It's just that my mind has not been blinded by the supreme rhyme of Tao in this Tongtian land, so fellow Taoists think I am special."

Jue Youqing was suddenly stunned, then looked at those people who were fighting for the ancient cave. He jumped out of the world and watched their performance. It seemed that everyone was crazy and had given up everything for the so-called immortal treasure.

"Amitabha!" Jue Youqing showed a compassionate look on his face and suddenly sang the Buddha's name. In an instant the sound spread dozens of miles away, making all the almost crazy monks within a radius of dozens of miles quiet down.

Seeing this, Li Zhi also shouted "Wulian Tianzun"

The voice was loud, as if the God was having mercy on the world, making everyone's hearts clear and starting to reflect on their actions just now.

Clearly, no valuable treasures have been found yet, but they are fighting to the death. It's an indescribable feeling.

In the outside world, people usually only take action after a magical treasure comes into the world, and they will decide whether it is worth fighting for based on the value of the magical treasure.

"Empty. The ancient caves are almost empty."

"What happened to us just now? Why couldn't we suppress the murderous intent in our hearts and started killing each other as soon as we saw the legacy?"

Many people who woke up found that the things they had fought for before were not enough to make them fight for their lives, and many people who tried their best to enter the ancient cave often found that the underground palace was empty.

It seems that someone has already dug out all the treasures in this heavenly land.

"Which Bodhisattva was reminding us just now?" "And which Taoist master called out 'Wulian Tianzun'?"

Many people began to look for the whereabouts of Li Zhi and Jue Youqing, but flying was prohibited in this area, and they did not know where Li Zhi and Jue Youqing were.

At this time, Jue Youqing and Li Zhi had already arrived at a huge cliff dozens of miles away.

The cliff stretched across the land like a curtain wall, blocking everyone's way.

There are vague marks on the cliff, including birds, beasts, fish, insects, and many ancient patterns whose meanings cannot be clearly discerned.

This place attracted many monks to stop by. Compared with other ancient caves and fairy cliffs where rivers of blood flowed, this place was much more peaceful and there was no fighting.

There were several half-step great powers standing at the front, staring at the patterns on the cliff motionlessly, pondering them.

Li Zhi pointed to the cliff in front of him and said, "As long as we can comprehend the Great Emperor's Dao Diagram, we can cultivate the supreme spiritual realm. Perhaps it can help us realize in advance the supreme state of mind of the Great Emperor standing at the top of all Daos."

"This is a picture of the natural laws of nature, which contains the true meaning of the great way. But I'm afraid that even the Holy Lord cannot comprehend it." After observing for a moment, Jue Youqing spoke, his voice magnetic, and he was dressed in white, like a Bodhisattva walking in the world.

After hearing the conversation between Li Zhi and Jue Youqing, many monks in front of the cliff looked at them.

Even the few half-step masters at the front turned their heads and glanced at them.

One of the Half-Step Great Powers even asked Li Zhi, "Young Taoist Priest, can this picture really allow us to comprehend the supreme spiritual realm of the Great Emperor after he attained enlightenment?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Indeed, it is possible. However, that state of mind is not something that ordinary people can achieve. It requires the cultivator to have enough courage and heart to carry it. Otherwise, when he comprehends that state of mind, he will be transformed into Tao and leave."

"It's so magical?" The half-step great man was surprised, and then asked: "Is it possible that the young Taoist priest can understand it?"

Li Zhi said: "You won't know until you try it."

With a loud noise, the nearby monks made way for Li Zhi to gain enlightenment.

Jue Youqing's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he asked, "Daoyou Li, can you really comprehend the true meaning of the great Dao contained in this picture of the natural law of heaven?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Isn't it just abandoning the seven emotions and eliminating the six desires, being inaction and leaving the world, and having no desires and no thoughts? If we cultivators of this generation can't even do this, we'd better not practice Taoism."

"Young Taoist priest, don't brag. How can any person with flesh and blood be able to refine this kind of scripture? If they could, they would be no different from plants, trees, rocks, and stones. Without human emotions, wouldn't they be like walking corpses?" another half-step great man retorted.

Li Zhi said: "Old senior, this picture is very likely the supreme Dao picture left by the ancient emperor. Since the ancient emperor was able to leave this Dao picture, it means that he had cultivated to that level in his past, so it is not impossible for future generations to do it. If they cannot do it, it only means that their own qualifications are not enough.

According to my calculations, if anyone can comprehend the true meaning of this Dao map, the probability of achieving enlightenment in the future will increase by more than 30%. This time, when this ancient world is opened, I feel that this natural map of the heavenly way is the number one supreme immortal fate in the world of the immortal mansion. "

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, and they all showed a thoughtful look.

Jue Youqing asked, "Master Li, are you serious about this?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I never speak nonsense. You are also a supreme genius who aspires to become an emperor. You should try to comprehend this natural picture of the heavenly way here. If you can comprehend the true meaning of the great way contained in this natural picture of the heavenly way, you will have a chance to achieve enlightenment. If not, I am afraid that the path to enlightenment will be difficult."

"Hiss..." Many people took a breath of cold air and then showed an excited look.

Almost all of the geniuses from the Qishi Mansion present began to comprehend the Dao diagram on the cliff with all their heart, not wanting to fall behind others.

After those half-step masters looked at each other, they came to Li Zhi and asked, "Little Taoist priest, is what you said true? Can we really achieve enlightenment by understanding this Dao diagram?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not that you can achieve enlightenment by understanding the Dao Diagram, but it can increase the probability of achieving enlightenment. Seniors, please quickly understand it. There is no age limit on the path to enlightenment. If the seniors can understand the true meaning of the Dao, perhaps they can also achieve enlightenment in the future."

Soon, there was an unprecedented silence in front of the cliff.

Everyone was trying their best to comprehend the true meaning of the avenue on the cliff, and some geniuses even held enlightenment tea in their mouths to comprehend the true meaning of the avenue on the cliff.

Li Zhi also secretly put three pieces of enlightenment tea into his mouth. At the same time, a mysterious small tree appeared on his hair, as if a tree grew on his head, which was quite strange.

However, everyone was working hard to comprehend the Dao diagram, and almost no one paid attention to the changes in Li Zhi.

Soon, a hazy Taoist aura emanated from the small tree above Li Zhi's head, directly enveloping his real body.

Li Zhi, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, gradually began to float in the air. A silver coffin suddenly appeared where he was sitting, emitting a mysterious ochre light. Then the light condensed into a mysterious nine-story Taoist platform, which made Li Zhi look extraordinary.

Those monks who were contemplating the Dao diagram in front of the cliff did not notice that Li Zhi had already flown hundreds of feet into the sky.

When Ye Fan, Duan De, the old blind man, and Dongfang Ye arrived at this area, they saw Li Zhi being held up by the mysterious Taoist priest.

"Master Li can actually fly so high?" Dongfang Ye asked in surprise.

The old blind man and Duan De both changed color and looked at Li Zhi solemnly.

After Ye Fan noticed their strangeness, he quickly asked, "What happened to Li Zhi?"

The old blind man was shocked and said, "Supreme Dao Realm, he actually entered the Supreme Dao Realm."

Duan De also said: "This kid's luck is really amazing."

Ye Fan opened his eyes of heaven and saw through the platform. He saw the coffin of life inside the platform and the mysterious little tree that suddenly appeared above Li Zhi's head, which reminded him of the mysterious green lotus in his own wheel sea.

The old blind man said, "Let's go, there are supreme treasures here."

Then, they came to the cliff and saw the picture of nature.

After Ye Fan took a closer look, he was shocked. The patterns engraved on the cliff and the ancient natural scripture given to him by Princess Yudie came from the same source. It seemed that there were no mysterious secret techniques or specific methods, but it was just explaining a natural way.

But after they contemplated for a moment, they all frowned.

"I can't understand it." People expressed this sentiment one after another.

Then, everyone focused their attention on Li Zhi who was rising hundreds of feet into the sky.

The supreme aura emanating from him was simply terrifying. In a trance, it made people feel as if a great emperor was about to awaken in his body.
