Chapter 194: Immortal Palace Cultivation
"Master Gu, have you figured out who is controlling the ancestral immortal root to cause chaos in the Immortal Palace?"

In the fairyland world, the Dragon Head Sacred Mountain is full of spiritual energy, ancient trees and exotic flowers are everywhere, and there is a big river passing by the mountain, like a jade belt wrapped around the Dragon Head, adding a bit of spiritual beauty to this world.

At the foot of the mountain, beside the river, on a low mound, a thatched hut built with magical herbs appeared at some point.

In front of the hut, at this moment, there was a group of white-haired powerful men, who were surrounding the hut like ordinary passers-by, and politely asked a middle-aged Taoist who had just walked out of the hut.

The middle-aged Taoist has a strange face, as if he possesses the appearance of all living beings, and he looks somewhat similar to everyone.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe that was ordinary in style but made of luxurious material. The half-foot-long beautiful beard on his chin added a bit of mature man's charm to him.

Although his aura was ordinary, he gave people a feeling of being unfathomable, even making a group of powerful people surround him like an ordinary person.

This middle-aged Taoist is none other than the disciple of the world-famous Zhongzhou Divine Calculator. Relying on the "Art of Stealing the Heavens" handed down from the Divine Calculator's ancestral lineage, he can deduce the secrets of heaven and is always successful in everything he does. He can be said to have seen all the secrets of the world.

This time, the disciple of the divine fortune teller appeared in the fairy world, and no one else knew about it except these powerful people in front of the thatched cottage.

In order to find the mastermind behind the endless turmoil in the Immortal World, some major forces in Zhongzhou joined forces and spent a huge price to invite this master of calculation into the Immortal World.

However, Master Gu, who had calculated the secrets of heaven for seven days in the thatched hut, now had blurred eyes, as if he was still wandering in his trance, or as if his mind was confused by the countless shocking information in the secrets of heaven.

"Master Gu?"

A very powerful person from among the various schools of thought saw that the disciple of the divine fortune teller had dull eyes, as if he had suffered a serious blow, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

The fortune teller's disciple finally came to his senses, but he just kept shaking his head without saying a word.

It seemed that calculating Li Zhi's whereabouts made him deeply doubt his own divine power.

The confusion of the fortune teller's disciple made everyone feel baffled.

One of the masters who had reached the level of a dragon-hunting master asked, "Could it be that Master Gu had figured out the legendary gods and thus had his mind bewildered by them?"

"It is impossible for gods to exist in this world." Another powerful man with an air of arrogance directly denied it.

Another living fossil from the supreme sect that could rival the Yin Yang Sect in Zhongzhou asked, "Master Gu, we have spent a huge amount of money to ask you to calculate the whereabouts of the person who caused chaos in the Immortal Mansion. You should at least give us an explanation. Even if you can't calculate it, you should let everyone know whether he is carrying a holy object that can avoid calculation?"

Master Gu's eyes were filled with confusion. After hearing the question, he subconsciously said, "This person is beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths. He is a person without a life. His life trajectory is in chaos. He has no past, no present, and no future. Even the divine will shows a strange sign that he does not belong to this ancient history."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunder exploded in the clear sky, as if the heavens were angry, and endless calamity clouds began to gather towards the Dragon Head Mountain.

The mysterious dark divine thunder was roiling in the calamity clouds, as if every bolt of lightning could kill a powerful being.

It seems that an unparalleled evildoer has been born, and the divine thunder of heaven is trying to prevent him from being born, or perhaps Master Gu's words have revealed the secret of heaven, and he will have to bear the punishment of the divine thunder.

The divine thunder exploded, shocking everyone.

The confusion in Master Gu's eyes disappeared completely after the divine thunder exploded.

Looking at the calamity clouds gathering in the sky, Master Gu's face suddenly changed, and he shouted directly to the group of powerful people: "Not good, my calculations have triggered the forbidden area, and the divine thunder of heaven's punishment is coming in an instant. Fellow Taoists, leave quickly, otherwise you will be destroyed in body and soul."

Without his reminder, the powerful men turned into lights and escaped the moment the aura of heavenly calamity appeared, running faster than rabbits.

Before Master Gu could even finish his words, those powerful men quickly fled thousands of miles away, leaving the coverage of the heavenly calamity.

Upon seeing this, Master Gu was hesitant to speak, and in the end could only look at the thunderclouds in the sky helplessly.

"Master Gu will be okay, right?"

"Could it be that Master Gu really calculated into the forbidden area and brought down heavenly punishment?"

Thousands of miles away, a group of powerful men stared at each other, each wanting to get a definite answer from the other's eyes.

Master Gu, the only one who did not leave, felt the aura of the heavenly calamity above his head becoming stronger and stronger. He seemed to have accepted his fate, as he knew that leaving now would be of no use.

The divine thunder of heavenly punishment will always follow him.

With a sigh, Master Gu returned to the thatched hut.

He took another look at the layout of the room, and finally his eyes fell on a painting hanging on the wall next to the bed. The painting showed a gentle and lovely woman.

All the objects in this thatched house were arranged by the woman in the painting.

After staring at the woman in the painting for a while, Master Gu's eyes were filled with a deep reluctance.

Finally, he turned his head towards a certain direction of Zhongzhou and whispered, "Master, is it that I am wrong?"

However, Master Gu waited in the house for a long time, but no divine thunder of punishment fell.

A trace of doubt appeared on Master Gu's face, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Master is wrong? Since we have touched upon such a taboo, why did the divine thunder of heavenly punishment only send a warning, and not have the intention to bring it down? Is it waiting for me to repent?"

At the same time, outside the coverage of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, those powerful beings who could see that the area near the Dragon Head Divine Mountain was almost submerged by the dark and terrifying thunder, and they all felt regretful.

"Master Gu may not be able to survive such a horrific punishment from heaven."

"It's such a pity that a great master of divination has passed away. It's a loss for all of us in Zhongzhou."

"No, Master Gu doesn't seem to have been killed by the Heavenly Punishment. He is still fighting against it."

"What a strong body, it can actually rush into the heavenly punishment. Is Master Gu going to defy the will of heaven and take my life?"

"I never expected that Master Gu is not only proficient in the art of divination, but also has such a strong cultivation base. Facing such a terrifying heavenly punishment, he was able to handle it with ease. Moreover, he has such overwhelming Qi and blood power. I have never heard of it or seen it before. Could it be that Master Gu also has the legendary strong physique?"

"Look, what kind of magical power did Master Gu use to bind such a terrifying divine thunder of heavenly punishment."

"What a magical power to gather thunder into a cauldron. If Master Gu doesn't die this time, he will definitely have a place among the strongest people in the world in the future."

"It's amazing. Master Gu was struck by such a terrifying divine thunderbolt, and his soul flew out of his body and directly flew to the depths of the sea of ​​thunder in the calamity cloud."

"What a terrifying power of the Yuanshen, it is as dazzling as the sun. Master Gu must have practiced the peerless ancient scriptures, otherwise it is impossible for the Yuanshen to possess such pure Yang power."

"What kind of method is this? Master Gu is actually devouring the sea of ​​thunder."

"Oh no, something has appeared in the sea of ​​thunder. What is that thing? Why is there a pool there?"

“Could it be the thunder pond in ancient legends?”

"Oh my god, Master Gu actually summoned the legendary ancient thunder pond when he was overcoming the tribulation. This is the true source of the divine thunder of the heavenly tribulation in the world. Legend has it that when the emperors overcame the tribulation of becoming a Taoist, they would not encounter the thunder pond blocking their way. They would only experience the legendary nine-fold tribulation."

"..."

A group of powerful men looked at the shocking divine punishment that appeared in the sky above Longshou Mountain and felt that their three views were about to be overturned. A man who was famous throughout the world for his divine predictions actually possessed the most terrifying cultivation talent in the world.

Master Gu, who was amazed by them, sat in the thatched hut, waiting and waiting, but the divine thunder of punishment from heaven did not come.

Even after waiting until all the regret and longing that he had felt before his death were gone, he still couldn't wait for the punishment from heaven to come.

This made Master Gu feel extremely strange.

Then he walked out of the hut, looked up at the sky, and found that the endless divine thunder in the calamity clouds above the sky had been restrained by a mysterious force to the peak of Longshou Mountain.

There is also a terrifying giant thunder cauldron that is dozens of feet in size, sitting on the top of the mountain, constantly devouring the divine thunder of heavenly punishment in the calamity clouds.

Master Gu quickly calculated, then looked at the calamity clouds in the sky with an embarrassed look on his face, muttering, "It's not my punishment from heaven."

Then he waved his hand and put away the thatched hut that he and his wife had built with yarrow, and turned away from the coverage of the aura of heavenly punishment.

Then he looked carefully at the thunder disaster that was still ongoing in the sky above Longshou Mountain.

A young Taoist priest can be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in a giant cauldron of thunder, his body being baptized by endless heavenly thunder, yet not hurt at all.

And in the sea of ​​thunder in the sky, there is also a golden figure, sitting cross-legged in a thunder pool transformed from a mysterious thunder, and pure yang divine power continuously emanates from that mysterious figure.

At the same time, a page of a mysterious green scripture floated above the head of the golden creature, exuding an extremely mysterious aura.

"What kind of ancient method is this?"

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Master Gu began to calculate on the spot.

Soon, he looked at the emerald green scripture on the head of the golden figure in the sea of ​​thunder in shock, and kept muttering: "The True Scripture of the Sun, that is actually the True Scripture of the Sun."

Then he continued to deduce, and soon Master Gu muttered in disbelief: "The Taiyin Sutra is actually accompanied by the Taiyang Sutra? How is this possible?"

Master Gu looked up and stared at the figure on the top of the mountain. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he wanted to pounce on it to find out what was going on.

But looking at the endless divine thunder of punishment in the sky, he finally did not lose his mind.

He read a fortune for himself, and the fortune showed: "Which is weaker, the moon or the sun? When the moon and the sun work together, the world will be the emperor."

"If I get all the good fortune from him, I can achieve enlightenment!" Master Gu looked at the mysterious figure in the sky with shock.

Afterwards, he began to deduce the possibility of obtaining all the fortunes of the mysterious man.

"Ten out of ten will die and there is no chance of survival?" Master Gu looked at the result he had just deduced with a grim expression, and thought to himself: "How is it possible that there is no chance of survival after ten will die? I don't believe it." Master Gu continued to deduce the secret of heaven, and this time the secret showed "both body and soul will be destroyed."

"I don't believe it. It will destroy me both physically and spiritually."

Master Gu still couldn't accept this result and started to deduce it again.

"The soul is gone."

"All calamities become dust."

"..."

However, after deducing dozens of times, the results shown by God showed that there was no possibility that he could survive and seize the fortune from the mysterious man.

In the end, Master Gu's greed was completely worn away by the results of repeated deaths.

Looking at these endings, Master Gu seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground.

Then, Master Gu lay on the ground, staring blankly at the mysterious man in the sky who was still struggling to cross the sea of ​​thunder.

Gradually, his strength seemed to return. Master Gu suddenly jumped up from the ground and said with a look of fear: "It's him, definitely him."

Then Master Gu turned around and ran in the direction of leaving the Immortal World.

Even at this moment he forgot that he could fly.

It took Master Gu half a day to run through a forest of less than 500 miles.

And on the Dragon Head Mountain, with the end of the last thunder, all the strange visions disappeared completely in an instant.

The flowers and plants on the mountain were not even damaged.

Only in a small area on the top of the mountain were traces of the thunder disaster left.

When Master Gu saw the heavenly punishment and the mysterious man disappear together, the fear in his heart seemed to disappear as well.

Only then did he realize that he was already in tattered clothes, like a savage, and no longer looked like a hermit.

After changing into a brand new Taoist robe and adjusting his hair crown, Master Gu took off into the air and flew towards the nearest entrance to the fairy world.

But just when he was halfway there, he heard many people calling him, "Master Gu, please stay."

It turned out that it was those powerful people who invited him to the Immortal World. Master Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the first words the other party said left him dumbfounded.

"Congratulations to Master Gu for successfully surviving the heavenly tribulation. May your road to greatness be smooth sailing from now on."

"Me, undergoing the tribulation?" Master Gu was secretly surprised, but he soon realized that these people regarded him as the one who was going to survive the divine thunder of punishment from heaven.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you fellow Taoists, but the sudden appearance of the divine thunder of heaven punishment was definitely not my original intention." Master Gu said modestly. He must not let these people know that he was so scared that he almost wet his pants, otherwise how could the master keep his dignity.

After everyone's congratulations, Master Gu was moved and said, "This time, under the divine thunder of heaven's punishment, I once again deduced the secrets of heaven and obtained a motto for enlightenment. I will share it with you fellow Taoists."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.

"The secret of heaven shows that which is stronger, the moon or the sun, the yin and the yang work together to become the emperor of the world. Either you cultivate the ultimate yin or the ultimate yang, and you will achieve enlightenment in this world."

As Master Gu spoke this maxim, all the powerful men showed doubts. This had nothing to do with the purpose of their entering the Immortal World?
Seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Master Gu continued, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed completely. If you have any doubts, please figure them out on your own. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After watching Master Gu leave, everyone still didn't understand what he meant.

"What does Master Gu mean? If one wants to achieve enlightenment in this world, does one need to practice the Great Yin or Great Yang? Or does one need to practice both the Great Yin and the Great Yang?" someone said.

"Friend Wang, you come from the Yin-Yang Sect and understand the Yin-Yang Dao better than the rest of us. What do you think is the hidden meaning behind the maxims left by Master Gu?" someone asked a supreme elder of the Yin-Yang Sect in the crowd.

"I think it should be the literal meaning." The Supreme Elder of Yin Yang Sect said so in order to prevent others from seeing through his doubts. But he knew in his heart that if it was the literal meaning, someone in their Yin Yang Sect would have achieved enlightenment long ago.

If Li Zhi was also in the crowd, he would probably applaud after hearing what Master Gu said.

Master Gu is truly a prophet.

Unfortunately, after surviving the thunder tribulation, Li Zhi returned to the underground cave again and continued his retreat and cultivation.

Since entering the Xiantai Secret Realm, Li Zhi did not choose to release his accumulated skills all at once, nor did he step into several small realms at once.

It is a steady climb upwards, one step at a time and one tribulation at a time.

It may not seem as shocking as going through several heavenly tribulations in a row, but the foundation it creates is much more solid than going through several heavenly tribulations in a row.

Now, after surviving two heavenly tribulations, Li Zhi has reached the second small realm of Xiantai I.

In the next six months, almost every month, a horrific divine punishment would appear in the sky above Longshou Mountain.

Many cultivators believed that some immortal treasures were born there, but they always came with high hopes and returned disappointed.

Of course, there were also people who wanted to see the truth hidden behind the endless heavenly thunder when Li Zhi was undergoing the tribulation, but they always brought disaster upon themselves and died under the divine thunder of heavenly punishment.

When the most recent heavenly punishment appeared, several powerful people wanted to see the secret behind the sea of ​​thunder, but they all died under the heavenly thunder, making everyone stay away from the Dragon Head Divine Mountain.

They all took detours, fearing that they would be contaminated by the horrible aura of thunder punishment.

Many of the evil disciples of the Qi Shi Mansion originally thought that they had also survived many tribulations and should not be afraid of thunder tribulations, so they wanted to see the truth behind the sea of ​​thunder.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves.

The moment they ran into the divine thunder of heavenly punishment, they realized that the gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

As a result, several geniuses at the level of monsters were completely destroyed by the divine thunder of heavenly punishment.

Many disciples of the Qi Shi Mansion were discussing who could survive this level of terrifying thunder tribulation.

Therefore, the Southern Demon Qi Lin, the Central Emperor Xiang Yufei, the Northern Emperor Wang Teng, the Western Bodhisattva Jue Youqing and others would be mentioned from time to time.

Unfortunately, the scene they wanted to see never happened.

In the Qishi Mansion, the group of monsters from the Eastern Wilderness kept a very low profile and did not become the subject of discussion.

But whether it was the Ji family's God King Ji Haoyue, or the Yaoguang Saint Son, or the Yaochi Saint Girl, they all secretly watched the scene of the heavenly punishment that appeared on the Dragon Head Divine Mountain.

They asked themselves whether they had ever experienced such a horrific punishment from heaven.

Even a terrifying existence like the Holy Son of Yaoguang, who had mastered the "Immortal Heavenly Art", found it hard to believe the heavenly punishment that the mysterious man had experienced.

Especially the mysterious thunder pool, which makes people feel infinite fear in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Many people came from all directions of the Immortal World to the area where the Dragon Head Mountain is located.

Waiting for the arrival of the divine thunder of heavenly punishment that appears once a month, trying to find the mysterious existence that causes the arrival of the divine thunder of heavenly punishment.

Many geniuses from the Qishi Mansion also came to the Immortal Mansion World.

Duan De also quietly changed his appearance and appeared near the Dragon Head Mountain.

After seeing the sacred mountain formed by the dragon head of the ancestral dragon vein, Duan De secretly admired in his heart: "Little Li Zhi, this couldn't be caused by you, right?"

Princess Yudie and others unexpectedly stood together with Dongfang Ye, gazing at the Dragon Head Sacred Mountain from afar.

Looking at the increasing number of cultivators around him, Dongfang Ye said, "I wonder where Taoist Li has gone?"

They agreed to go hunting together in the fairy world, but Dongfang Ye waited and waited but there was no news from Li Zhi.

"Brother Dongfang, who is the Taoist Priest Li you are talking about?" Princess Yudie asked curiously.

Dongfang Ye said: "A fellow Taoist who likes to eat monster meat like me."

It made everyone laugh.

On the other side, Pang Bo, Li Heishui and others also appeared in the crowd.

It seems like he is looking for someone.

"It would be great if Xiao Ye was here. With his source technique, he would be able to crack the secret of this Dragon Head Mountain." Li Heishui said.

Pang Bo said, "I don't know if I can meet Boss Li this time."

Li Heishui said: "Master Li's whereabouts are mysterious. It is said that many people are looking for him, but unfortunately no one knows where he is."
