Chapter 196: The Journey to the Mortal World
The news that there was a mysterious powerful person in the Immortal World who was refining immortal energy shocked many cultivators.

Of course, everyone was more concerned about the fairy spirit, but as for who the mysterious strong man was, few people paid attention.

The fairyland world possesses a fairy aura similar to the North Pole fairy light, which was originally a top-secret news hidden by major forces.

But now someone really has obtained immortal energy from the Immortal World, causing the Immortal World, which had originally returned to peace, to once again attract the attention of various forces.

However, this time, the major forces did not send a large number of cultivators in to search in a high-profile manner. Instead, a group of old cultivators with not much time left frequently appeared in the fairy world.

Seeing many monks who were rumored to have passed away reappear before the world really scared many young monks.

However, the group of old monks, who were short of life, searched the entire fairy world but could not find any clues about the fairy energy, so they came with high hopes and returned disappointed.

Before leaving, the group of old monks gathered on the collapsed Dragon Head Mountain.

Looking at the ruined forest and the Dragon Head Stone Mountain that was shattered into pieces by the horrific explosion, someone asked, "Which Taoist is refining the immortal liquid here?"

Almost no one would classify Li Zhi, who was refining the elixir on the Dragon Head Divine Mountain, as a rising star.

"It could be a fellow Taoist from Qishi Mansion. I heard that old fellow Lin Daochen stepped forward to protect that mysterious man when he was refining the elixir." said a living fossil from a super sect.

"Since this concerns everyone's lifespan, let's go to Qi Shi's Mansion together to find out." Someone suggested.

"The saint in the Qishi Mansion seems to have also taken action. Will the saint be angry if we mobilize such a large force to question him?" Some people did not want to offend the Qishi Mansion because of something that had no conclusion.

"We are all going to die soon, so why should we worry about so many things?" An old monster who was at the level of a living fossil said indifferently.

Afterwards, everyone came to Qi Shi's mansion together.

Several palace masters came out personally to entertain them.

However, they remained tight-lipped about Li Zhi's whereabouts.

Just when those people were planning to act rogue and force Qi Shi Mansion to tell the truth, the old mansion master who was drinking with Li Zhi in the tavern suddenly frowned.

Then he emitted a ray of holy pressure towards those old antiques.

The many monks who were suppressed by the holy power suddenly woke up, hurriedly apologized to the several palace masters, and then left the Qi Shi Mansion in a slightly embarrassed manner.

After seeing them leave, the old mansion master said, "These days, some people have become insane after practicing Taoism."

Li Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Senior, are those people here to cause trouble?" His spiritual power at this time was able to cover an area of ​​two to three thousand miles in radius, and those people did not hide their figures when leaving the Qi Shi Mansion, so Li Zhi could naturally find them.

The old mansion master said, "They all came to see you. The news that you were smelting the immortal light in the immortal mansion world has already made many cultivators with limited lifespans concerned about it."

Li Zhi said nonchalantly: "Then let them go and look for me. As long as they can find me, I don't care."

The old mansion master smiled and said, "I have to say, your luck makes me jealous. After the Immortal Palace World was opened, I also entered the Immortal Palace several times to look for the whereabouts of the North Pole Immortal Light, but I didn't get anything. I didn't expect that you could get a North Pole Immortal Light."

Li Zhi said: "I was also lucky. I originally wanted to find other small chaotic worlds formed by the fragments of the immortal road, but I didn't expect that I didn't find other small worlds, but instead caught a ray of northern fairy light from the depths of the void."

The old mansion master sighed, "The Immortal Mansion World, this world formed by the fragments of the former immortal path is the most mysterious. This world can be used as a coffin by the Immortal Emperor, it seems that there are still many secrets that have not been revealed."

Li Zhi asked curiously: "Senior, have you ever been to the depths of the ancient battlefield in the Immortal Mansion World?"

The old mansion master shook his head and said, "Although I have never been there, I can sense a fierce murderous intent from an emperor-level strongman lurking deep in the ancient battlefield. If you enter rashly without the protection of an emperor's weapon, you may be killed."

After listening to the old palace lord's words, Li Zhi understood. Now that the immortal world was opened, how could the old palace lord not conduct a detailed investigation of it? Li Zhi even suspected that many saint-level fortunes had already been taken by the old palace lord.

Then, Li Zhi said, "Senior, drinking alone is not very meaningful. Why don't you show me your cooking skills today? I'm lucky to have obtained many delicacies in the Immortal Mansion World. Now I can cook them to thank you for your help."

The old mansion master said, "You can cook? Then I'd like to taste your cooking skills."

"Just take care of it, old man." Li Zhi took out dozens of precious ferocious beast flesh and blood and dozens of spiritual herbs and began to cook in the tavern's kitchen.

Half a day later, eight delicious dishes appeared in the tavern.

Many disciples who smelled the fragrance also wanted to go and try it, but unfortunately they were scared away by the price of 100 kilograms of divine source offered by Li Zhi.

"Why don't you go and rob it?" Many disciples glared at Li Zhi and said indignantly.

"If you can't afford it, then you can't afford it. It's ungraceful to make sarcastic remarks." But Li Zhi looked at those people with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, the old mansion master said, "It seems that you have realized the problem with your body."

But Li Zhi looked confused and asked: "What's the problem? Is there something wrong with my practice?"

The old mansion master said: "You have too much immortal aura. Although you have tried your best to restrain it, the aura that is incompatible with the mortal world still exists. For you, it is not a good thing."

Li Zhi's mind moved, and he told the old mansion master about the situation he had encountered recently in his cultivation and the bottleneck.

He asked, "Senior, I am not bragging. According to my cultivation aptitude, I should not encounter any bottlenecks at the Immortal One level. But why after reaching the late Immortal One level, I lost the previous state of cultivation that was like a fish in water. Instead, I feel like I am struggling to take a step forward?"

Then Li Zhi let go of the immortal platform on his body and let the old master observe the state of his immortal platform and his soul.

The old mansion master said: "If I am not mistaken, the reason why you have encountered a bottleneck is probably because your immortal platform is too clean. If you were in the immortal realm, your current situation would be the best state for cultivation, but there is not so much immortal energy in the mortal world for you to constantly cleanse the immortal platform. That's why you feel like you are walking from a clean room into the dirty world. In fact, the cultivation of the power of the immortal mind is not just to strengthen the soul, but also to withstand the test and baptism of the world. Only in this way can the soul truly transcend the shackles of the world."

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi realized the problem.

From ascending the immortal platform to practicing and reaching the seventh small level of the immortal realm, he completed everything in the immortal world.

The cultivation environment and the laws of the universe in the Immortal World are actually slightly different from those in the outside world.

Finally, Li Zhi said, "Thank you for your advice, senior. Since I lack the baptism of the earthly aura and the burning of the mortal fire, I will go to the earthly world. I am probably like a flower in a greenhouse. It may seem lush and flourishing, but if it changes to a new environment, it may not be able to withstand the storms of nature."

The old mansion master nodded approvingly and said, "It's good that you understand this. Next, I also suggest that you go out into the mortal world and boldly experience the baptism of the mortal world. One day, when you feel that even if your Yuan Shen nerves are infected by the mortal air, the immortal platform is still clear and transparent, then you have truly reached the perfect level in the realm of the first heaven of the immortal platform."

Afterwards, Li Zhi and the old master enjoyed the delicious food.

After eating and drinking, Li Zhi suddenly said, "Senior, I found a broken Taiyin stele in the immortal burial ground, on which are three volumes of Taiyin Sutra. I plan to leave it to Qishi Mansion for everyone to comprehend. I wonder if Qishi Mansion can accept the broken stele?" The old mansion master looked at him with a little surprise and said, "Are you really willing to hand over such a precious original ancient scripture to Qishi Mansion? You should know that Taiyin Sutra is the mother scripture of the human race. It is a supreme immortal treasure for anyone. If you hand over the three volumes of ancient scriptures to Qishi Mansion, I can't guarantee that I won't pass it on to others."

Li Zhi said: "The Taiyin Sutra is a treasure left by the Taiyin Emperor to the younger generation of our human race. How can I take it for myself? Since I decided to give it to the Qishi Mansion, it is because I want more young geniuses of the human race to practice it. It is also the responsibility of the younger generation of the human race to carry on the lost knowledge of the saints and prevent the ancient scriptures from being lost."

The old mansion master looked Li Zhi up and down for a long time before saying, "If I wasn't afraid of delaying your cultivation, I would have wanted to train you as the next mansion master of Qishi Mansion."

Li Zhi quickly said, "How can I be so worthy of such an important task? Please forgive me, senior."

The old mansion master shook his head and said, "I am serious. There are not many young cultivators who have your broad mind and courage."

Li Zhi said: "I still prefer the life of a free and unrestrained person, please forgive me, senior."

The old mansion master said, "In that case, I will accept the broken stele on behalf of Qishi Mansion. However, Qishi Mansion cannot let you suffer any loss. Since you have presented three volumes of the Great Emperor's Ancient Scripture, I will make the decision and let you go to the Scripture Pavilion to read the three volumes of the Great Emperor's Ancient Scripture."

Li Zhi was not surprised at what the old mansion master said about the ancient scripture of the Great Emperor in Qi Shi Mansion.

After all, as the gatekeeper of the ancient starry road of the human race in the Big Dipper star field, it is normal for him to possess the ancient scripture of the Great Emperor. I don't know if there is a complete ancient scripture of the Great Emperor.

Soon, under the guidance of the old mansion master, Li Zhi came to a small world of sages hidden in layers of formations.

The most precious scripture library in Qishi Mansion is located here.

Li Zhi saw several kings there, and they all seemed to be not very old.

This gave Li Zhi a deeper understanding of the background of Qi Shi Mansion.

When Li Zhi left the broken stele of Taiyin in the most secret Sutra Repository of Qishi Mansion, he saw many catalogues of the broken scrolls of the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor there.

Among them, Li Zhi had never heard of the names of some of the ancient scriptures left by emperors or ancient kings.

Following the old mansion master's advice, Li Zhi chose the Xiantai volume of the Daoist Scriptures and the other two Xiantai volumes of the Great Emperor's ancient scriptures.

Afterwards, Li Zhi left Qi Shi Mansion alone without saying goodbye to anyone.

Start walking on the land of Zhongzhou.

He did not hide his appearance, nor did he use the Eternal Life Locking Body Technique to isolate the interaction of internal and external auras.

After walking in the outside world for a few days, Li Zhi felt that the fairyland seemed to be covered with a layer of dust that could not be wiped off, and it was no longer as bright and clear as a fairyland.

However, Li Zhi believed that one day, he would rely on his own strength to "wipe" Xiantai clean again.

Li Zhi's first stop was not far from Qishi Mansion, but Xiba City, the closest big city to Qishi Mansion.

In Xiba City, he wanted to cash in all the unnecessary things on him.

Of course, he did not sell the real fairy treasures he obtained in the fairy world.

While controlling the ancestral immortal vein, Li Zhi harvested a piece of five-element divine gold as big as a bull's head from the dragon cave that accompanied the ancestral vein.

In the depths of the void outside the Immortal World, Li Zhi used the Sky-stealing Dragon Claw. Although he failed to catch the behemoth that was suspected to be a sacred mountain from the depths of the void, the stone he brought back that was surrounded by seven immortal auras was not an ordinary item.

Instead, it is a piece of Void Divine Gold Ore that has degenerated from a piece of Void Immortal Gold Ore.

Inside the stone, there is a piece of Void Divine Gold that is half the size of a human head, which is enough to refine the embryo of an ultimate imperial weapon.

Moreover, Li Zhi has already figured out how to use the piece of Void Divine Gold.

He wanted to refine a Void Divine Gold Stele.

Back then, Emperor Huang Tian obtained a mysterious Void Immortal Gold Stele, which allowed him to find a place where he could fight against himself.

Now Li Zhi also wants to imitate the way Emperor Huang Tian did back then, so as to find his own shortcomings.

However, refining the mirror image divine monument is still just a plan, and there is no plan to start it for the time being.

As for the means of refining magic weapons, there is no more suitable method in the world than using the secret of the word "Soldier".

Coincidentally, during this trip to the mortal world, Li Zhi also planned to go to Qinmen to learn the secret of the word "Soldier".

In Xiba City, after Li Zhi dealt with those unused things, he started walking towards the Qinling Mountains.

In order to better integrate into the world, he joined a caravan.

However, the process of joining the caravan was not smooth sailing, and people in the caravan were very wary of him.

If Li Zhi hadn't taken out an identity token of a disciple of Qi Shi Mansion, those people might not have accepted him.

The leader of the caravan’s escort was a master in the late First Level of the Immortal Realm, at the same level as Li Zhi.

This time they set out from Xiba City to escort a batch of goods to the imperial capital of Chiyang Kingdom.

Li Zhi was curious why they didn't go through the domain gate.

The commander said: "For some things, it is not cost-effective to go through the domain gate."

Along the way, eating and living together with the caravan members gave Li Zhi a deeper understanding of the business operation rules of Beidou.

After spending a month to safely deliver the goods to the imperial capital of Chiyang State, Li Zhi changed his identity again and headed towards Qinling Mountains.

Originally he wanted to join another traveling group, but on the way, he suddenly thought of Jin Yuming.

It seems like his home is not far from the Qinling Mountains.

Then Li Zhi changed direction and went to Jin Yuming's home.
