Chapter 209: Qing Emperor Appears
Beside the Huaxian Pond, Gai Jiuyou looked at the dreamy water in doubt and amazement, as if he had seen something incredible.

The water in the pool is clear, just like a pool of nectar, with flowing clouds and mist rising up, hazy and colorful, all crystal clear.

Although the fairy pond is not very big, it gives people a feeling of facing a world of its own.

There is a mysterious vitality flowing in the pool, making the fairy pool seem as if it is hiding the secret of the origin of life.

Li Zhi also opened his eyes of life and death to look for the source of vitality, but the mysterious aura emanating from the Immortal Transformation Pool made his invincible eyes ineffective.

"Could it be the life wave emitted by the killing intent of the Green Emperor?"

"But why is there no blue lotus rooted in the green copper in the fairy pond? Or is there something else in the pond that interferes with the detection of the Sky Eye?"

Li Zhi did not find the source of vitality, which puzzled him a lot. In the end, he could only attribute the reason to the fact that his cultivation was too weak at the moment. If he had the Taoism of a saint, he would probably be able to see more things.

Just as Li Zhi and Gai Jiuyou were observing the situation in the Immortal Pond, other cultivators beside the Immortal Pond could not help but exclaim.

"there's noise!"

"It must be the fragments of the Supreme Emperor's weapon that are here. It is the Great Dao scripture contained in the Emperor's weapon that is echoing."

The monks who arrived one after another were all attracted by the mystery of the Huaxian Pool. It was said that there were fragments of imperial weapons and supreme holy objects in the pool, all of which were exciting things.

"Pfft."

Finally, one monk couldn't resist the excitement in his heart and jumped directly into the lake, wanting to look for the fragments of imperial weapons and other holy objects.

Once there was one, there would be two, and one after another, people jumped into the fairy lake.

For this reason, killings occurred in many places along the lakeside in order to occupy an advantageous position.

But Li Zhi didn't know how they determined whether that place was advantageous or not.

In a moment, the originally quiet and peaceful Huaxian Pond turned into a Shura battlefield, and many monks fell in a pool of blood.

Moreover, Li Zhi also saw Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Dongfang Ye, Li Heishui, the Saint of Yao Chi, Ji Ziyue and others, who also entered the fairy pool one after another to look for the holy objects, but they did not go too deep, and only came to the place where the shallow water was knee-deep to look for it.

Seeing this, Li Zhi returned to Gai Jiuyou, fearing that he would be killed by these reckless men.

There is an unknown murderous intention in the Immortal Pond. The fact that Gai Jiuyou did not jump into the pond to search for treasure is enough to show the seriousness of the problem.

"Senior, is there any murderous intention of the emperor in the Immortal Transformation Pool?" Li Zhi asked Gai Jiuyou quietly.

"There is a murderous intent from the Emperor, but I haven't determined his exact location yet." Gai Jiuyou seemed to be looking for the exact location of the Green Emperor's murderous intent.

Afterwards, Li Zhi asked again, "Senior, can you tell whether the Green Emperor has left a backup plan in the Immortal Pond? I see that the vitality in the Immortal Pond has no roots or origins, but it seems to be everywhere. It does not seem to belong to any living being, nor does it seem to be the kind of vitality that is emitted by a sacred object after it is in contact with spirits."

Gai Jiuyou said: "The Immortal Pond is mysterious and unpredictable. I cannot fully understand its wonders and cannot answer your question."

"Nine Heavens Red Jade King!"

At this moment, a cultivator in the fairy pond took out a divine jade as big as a human head. The whole body was emitting a fiery red glow, which made people very excited.

But before they could fight for the piece of Nine Heavens Red Jade King, the spiritual divine jade escaped.

Let everyone feel sorry.

At the same time, it also aroused everyone's enthusiasm for treasure hunting.

More and more cultivators, regardless of the inexplicable dangers in the fairy pond, went down to the fairy pond to search for the divine objects.

For a moment, the fairy pond became extremely lively.

Seeing that Li Zhi showed no signs of going into the pond to look for treasure, Gai Jiuyou asked, "Why don't you go treasure hunting?"

Li Zhi looked at the Yang Qi escaping from the Immortal Pond and said, "Senior, does this Yang Qi belong to someone? My intuition tells me that this Yang Qi seems to be more important than the immortal treasures in the Immortal Pond."

Gai Jiuyou asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi said, "The Immortal Pond and the Eternal Dragon Cave are a place where yin and yang coexist. Since they can produce countless immortal treasures, I dare to guess that it is because of the yin and yang energy emitted from this place. It is said that yin and yang create everything. Since ancient times, there has been an endless supply of holy objects in the Immortal Pond. Is it because the yin and yang energy here is something close to the origin of heaven and earth, so that this terrain can continuously evolve holy objects?"

Gai Jiuyou stared at Li Zhi from head to toe, then said, "Your thinking is indeed different from others. The yin and yang energy here is indeed extraordinary, but I don't know whether the holy object was born because of it. Maybe you are right."

Li Zhi continued, "Legend has it that the Green Emperor was born from the Chaos Green Lotus, the immortal elixir, and that he shed the body of the immortal elixir in this Immortal Transformation Pond. If the birth of the Green Emperor represents a kind of 'life', then the extremely dark place where he was buried after his death represents a kind of 'death'.

I think there must be a deep meaning behind this move of the Green Emperor. Born in the Yang Pond and sleeping in the Yin Pond after death, does this mean that the Green Emperor is not actually dead, but is trying to break through an unpredictable cycle of life and death? If the Green Emperor passes through the death barrier, will he have a chance to ascend to heaven?"

Gai Jiuyou asked: "Why do you have such an idea? Is there any reason?"

Li Zhi said: "Because I have heard a saying that the end of life is death, and the end of death is life. If anyone can pass the test of life and death, he can earn the fruit of immortality."

Gai Jiuyou said: "Do you also believe in reincarnation?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Of course I believe it. I not only believe in reincarnation, but also believe that there are two worlds, yin and yang, in the world."

Gai Jiuyou's eyes flickered as he said, "In today's world, most young geniuses who aspire to be emperors only believe in this life and do not believe in reincarnation. Why are you so sure that reincarnation exists? Haven't you heard of a saying that there are no reincarnation people in the world, only reincarnation things."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Reincarnation must exist, but we just can't see it. The reason why I believe in reincarnation is because I believe there is always someone better than you. The reason why we can't see reincarnation is that our own cultivation is too low.

Even if there is no reincarnation between heaven and earth, if one day in the future a strong person who has surpassed the limit feels that this is not good and wants to create a reincarnation path, then won’t there be reincarnation between heaven and earth?

The Tao is endless, the Dharma is mysterious, and I never think that anything in the world is fixed. As long as I can still practice Taoism, everything in the world can be changed. If it cannot be changed, it only means that we are too weak, not that the thing cannot exist. "

After hearing these words, Gai Jiuyou fell silent. He said, "You are indeed the most special person I have ever met. I don't see any awe in you for anything."

Li Zhi said: "I think that the so-called awe is just because of my own lack of strength, and I can't reach the height of seeing the true face of things. If I can reach that height, I won't have any awe, but will treat everything in the world calmly. I believe that in the future I will definitely reach a height where I don't need to be in awe of anything, so I think it's better to practice well instead of being in awe of them."

Seeing that Li Zhi acted as calmly as if he was eating or drinking, Gai Jiuyou didn't know whether to say that Li Zhi was arrogant or had a good attitude.

"boom"

At this moment, a roar was heard from the ancient dragon cave at the foot of another Dayue Mountain.

A group of powerful leaders broke into the Eternal Dragon Cave in search of the dream essence, which eventually caused a drastic change in the Dragon Cave, making the Eternal Dragon Cave seem to be resurrected.

Two terrifying rays of light suddenly shot out from Gai Jiuyou's dim eyes. He stared at the ancient dragon cave at the root of the mountain and whispered, "Could it be that a great and perfect holy spirit was really born in the dragon cave?"

Everyone believed that in the ancient cave, there were elixirs of immortality and dream-level divine essence. Now, there was even a holy spirit aura comparable to that of an emperor, causing many people to change their faces.

The ancient dragon cave was filled with dragon roars. The light in the ancient cave flickered and there were lantern-like eyes flashing. The breath was so strong that it made people feel suffocated.

A moment later, the dragon energy surged, and the real dragon spit out a pearl. A scarlet divine pearl floated in the thousands of dragon energy, bright and juicy, and appeared in front of the world.

The magic pearl that suddenly emerged from the dragon's cave was as crystal clear as agate, with a diameter of more than one meter. It was a huge fairy pearl with dreamy colors that made people intoxicated.

In front of the ancient dragon's cave, the divine pearl appeared, making everyone's blood boil and their hearts beat fast. They wished they could take it for themselves immediately.

A group of powerful leaders, whose powers were comparable to those of nature, had lost all their cunning and were fighting hard with each method.

However, the magic pearl had a spirit and could not be suppressed. It disappeared in a flash and disappeared into the deep ancient cave. All the people in front of the ancient cave rushed in.

By the immortal pond, many cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Many of them regretted why they did not choose the dragon cave to search for treasure. A real magic pearl appeared. They saw it with their own eyes. It was a gift from heaven and earth, and it might allow people to attain enlightenment.

Several powerful men who gained nothing in the Immortal Pond immediately changed their route and headed to the Dragon Cave to compete for the opportunity.

At the same time, Ye Fan also fought with his enemies by the Huaxian Pool.

But Li Zhi stared at the fairy pond intently, and the magic pearl appeared, indicating that the third generation of Yuan Tianshi was about to reappear in the world.

The Qing Emperor's murderous intent would definitely sense his aura.

As expected, the magic pearl in the Eternal Dragon Cave was shattered by a powerful being. After a humanoid red-haired monster fell out of the magic pearl, a young cultivator took out a piece of green copper from the Immortal Transformation Pond, on which grew a small green lotus.

Li Zhi tried to sense its existence with his divine sense, but found that he could not sense it at all.

After seeing Green Copper and Blue Lotus, Duan De instantly ran over from a distance with a broken bowl on his head, appeared directly in the fairy pond, and grabbed Green Copper and Blue Lotus.

During this period, some powerful people wanted to stop it, but they were directly repelled by Duan De.

Seeing this, Li Zhi knew that the time had come, and said to Gai Jiuyou: "Senior, I need to go collect some Yin and Yang Qi, so I won't bother you any more."

Afterwards, he headed towards a place where yin and yang were balanced halfway up the mountain.

The place where yin and yang are balanced seemed to have been occupied by someone. Seeing Li Zhi coming, they attacked Li Zhi without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi didn't waste any words and directly used the Heavenly Divine Palm, which turned those people into ashes with one palm.

Even though there were several people in that group whose cultivation had reached the Xiantai Secret Realm, and there were two masters at the half-step great power level, none of them could withstand the power of Li Zhi's palm.

Because the battle was so short, it did not attract much attention.

After clearing the area, Li Zhi took out thirty-six real dragon flags.

According to the formation diagram of Ten Thousand Dragons Returning Home, the real dragon flags were planted within a radius of ten feet.

Then Li Zhi placed a strange grinding wheel made of melted divine stone skin at the center of the formation.

"Ouch, ouch..."

As Li Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the millstone, began to activate the formation, a loud dragon roar sounded from halfway up the mountain.

The thirty-six large flags turned into thirty-six thousand-foot-tall dragons, which then swooped down and sank directly into the depths of the earth. This movement really attracted the attention of many people, but most people didn't care, after all, they were not fighting for the immortal treasures in the Immortal Pond or the Eternal Dragon Cave.

Only a few people paid attention to what Li Zhi was doing.

At the Huaxian Pond, Gai Jiuyou saw Li Zhi activate the formation and muttered, "The dragon cave is moving, the Holy Spirit is about to appear, the Green Emperor's killing intent has reappeared, and the Yin and Yang energies are temporarily unrestrained. This is really a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

At this moment, Li Zhi didn't care about the changes in the outside world at all. He sat on the millstone and cast a spell, using the dragon energy under the earth to guide the yin and yang energy in the Huaxian Pool and the Eternal Dragon Cave to converge into the millstone.

Inside the millstone, Li Zhi placed a piece of Jiutian Xirang to absorb and guide the yin and yang energies.

In the water of Huaxian Pond, after solving the trouble, Ye Fan also saw Li Zhi sitting halfway up the mountain and casting a spell.

Li Heishui was a little surprised and asked, "When did Taoist Li come here? What was he doing there? Why didn't he come to the Huaxian Pond to look for treasure?"

Ye Fan opened his eyes of heaven to observe the situation around Li Zhi, and saw that countless yin and yang energies were converging towards the millstone under the guidance of dragon energy.

"He is collecting the yin and yang energies here." Ye Fan said to everyone.

Because of the obstruction of the divine stone skin and the Taoist patterns carved by Li Zhi, Ye Fan could not see clearly the situation inside the stone skin millstone, but he felt that Li Zhi's actions seemed to be plundering the original power of this place.

Inside the fairy pool, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, who had gained nothing, saw this and had an idea. She left the Huaxian Pool directly and walked towards Li Zhi halfway up the mountain.

At the same time, two Yao Chi elders also appeared and followed her, and they seemed to be going to protect Li Zhi.

Li Heishui, who saw this scene, howled and shouted, "It's really unfair. How can there be such a big difference between people?"

Yan Ruyu, who was looking for immortal treasures in the Huaxian Pool, saw this and seemed to want to know what Li Zhi was doing, so she followed him over.

"What's going on? Why are the two goddesses from the Eastern Wasteland guarding that Taoist priest?"

Some geniuses from Zhongzhou were all shocked after seeing the actions of Yan Ruyu and the Saint Girl of Yao Chi.

However, Li Zhi neither entered the Immortal Pond to look for immortal treasures nor entered the Ancient Dragon Cave to look for fortune. Instead, he led away two feared goddesses, and people did not feel much fear towards him.

"Sister Ruyu, what are you doing?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi asked when she saw Yan Ruyu following over.

"Sister Yao Chi, I am here to protect Taoist Li." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

Afterwards, they came together to the outside of the formation set up by Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi seemed not to notice them and continued to cast spells to extract the pure yang energy from the Immortal Transformation Pool and the pure yin energy from the Eternal Dragon Cave.

At the same time, the battles between the Eternal Dragon Cave and the Immortal Pond became more and more intense.

The red-haired monster that fell out of the magic pearl was extremely bloodthirsty. It killed its way out of the ancient dragon cave and headed towards the Immortal Pond.

It seemed as if he was attracted by the aura of Master Yuan Tian on Ye Fan.

Seeing the red-haired monster killing many cultivators along the way, Gai Jiuyou, who was standing by the Immortal Pond, had no intention of taking action. Instead, his eyes kept moving back and forth between the Immortal Pond and the Eternal Dragon Cave.

"Princess, can you lend me the Imperial Soldier?" Upon seeing this, the Peacock King and the Taoist Red Dragon, who were originally searching for treasure in the Huaxian Pool, immediately came to Yan Ruyu and asked her to borrow the Green Lotus Imperial Soldier.

Yan Ruyu lent them the Chaos Green Lotus without hesitation, but she had no intention of going to the Immortal Pond with them again.

This action made Yao Chi Saint Maiden quite surprised, and she asked: "Sister Ruyu, you have the Emperor's weapon to protect you, so that red-haired monster shouldn't be able to hurt you. Why don't you follow Senior Peacock King and the others to look for immortal treasures in the Immortal Transformation Pond."

Yan Ruyu said, "Master Li chose this place to set up the formation. I believe this place is extraordinary. It should be easier to get good fortune by staying here than searching randomly in the fairy pond. Isn't that what Sister Yaochi thinks?"

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi had long known that Li Zhi had extraordinary attainments and magical powers in treasure hunting. The reason why she left Huaxian Pool and came to Li Zhi was for this matter.

At this moment, the ancient dragon cave underwent another strange change.

"Noisy!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the depths of the ancient cave, as if a supreme being was awakened from his slumber, emitting a terrifying wave like a vast ocean.

Afterwards, an ancient chariot rushed out from the ancient cave. It was no more than a foot high and was pulled by a small purple Qilin about a foot long. There was also a small green dragon coiled on the chariot, and a half-foot long red-blooded divine phoenix was flying behind the chariot.

In addition, there were seven or eight little men of different colors, most of them half a foot tall, each as lifelike as a jade sculpture, holding jade weapons in their hands, running quickly in front to clear the way.

On the ancient chariot stood a humanoid creature over one foot tall, like a god, surrounded by 108 divine rings. He shouted, "Who is making a noise here and waking up the immortal ancient emperor of our race?"

It is a spiritual creature with divine jade, emitting a terrifying aura, as if a supreme king is traveling.

"Emperor?"

"In the ancient dragon cave, there is a living ancient emperor?"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe this was true.

But before everyone could react, the little jade figure on the chariot seemed to sense the changes under the earth, and shouted loudly in the direction of Li Zhi: "Damn it! Who is stealing the original immortal essence here?"

The jade figure on the ancient chariot waved his hand and led the team of jade figures towards Li Zhi halfway up the mountain.

"It is you who are stealing the immortal essence from this place and disturbing the emperor's slumber. Die!" The little jade man looked at the yin and yang energies continuously flowing into the millstone where Li Zhi was sitting, and shouted at Li Zhi.

Seeing this, Peacock King and Taoist Chilong immediately rode their Azure Lotus Soldiers to Yan Ruyu's side and said, "Princess, hurry up. That jade person is about to become a saint and cannot be defeated."

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi directly sacrificed a handed-down holy weapon pagoda and together with the two Yao Chi mighty men revived it, as if to protect Li Zhi.

The others all headed towards the mountainside in shock, and some of the powerful ones who had originally planned to escape decided not to leave.

Just as the team of jade figures were about to rush over, Li Zhi on the millstone suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, a mysterious three-story altar appeared at his feet, slowly lifting him into the air.

"boom!"

The terrifying scarlet lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a strange image of a sea of ​​blood was reflected in the sky. One after another, the worlds that seemed to be submerged in blood were floating in the sea of ​​blood.

A mysterious altar exactly the same as the altar under Li Zhi's feet, emitting a strange power that penetrates the past and present, as if it was going to sacrifice all things in the world.

The jade figure on the chariot looked at the reflection of the sea of ​​blood in the air and the mysterious altar under Li Zhi's feet with great horror, and stopped instantly.

As spiritual beings connected to the divine jade, they were extremely sensitive to the strange aura of blood sacrifice to heaven and earth emanating from the altar, as if they had encountered their true nemesis.

It seems that anyone who dares to attack Li Zhi will immediately turn into ashes.

"Wulian Tianzun, do you want me to die? Even the emperor of your clan would not dare to speak to me like this."

At this moment, Li Zhi's eyes were filled with endless indifference, as if he was a terrifying priest from a strange plateau. Against the backdrop of a mysterious sea of ​​blood, his aura seemed extremely terrifying.

Especially the terrifying power of divine punishment that continued to gather above his head. The scarlet thunder carried mysterious chains of order, as if it was specifically aimed at creatures like them who were born and raised by nature.

Seeing that the jade figure on the ancient chariot was temporarily frightened, Li Zhi, who was looking down from a high position, said calmly: "I would like to borrow some of the yin and yang essence here. Does anyone have any objection?"

"No objection. Please do as you please, Taoist Priest." Even though the jade figurine on the ancient chariot was shrouded in a divine ring, one could still feel that his voice was trembling.

Then, Li Zhi said, "The road leads to the sky, and we each walk on one side."

After saying this, Li Zhi took back the mysterious altar under his feet and the strange sea of ​​blood behind him.

The horrific divine punishment above his head did not dissipate directly, but continued to gather, as if it would not stop until it achieved its goal.

Li Zhi looked up at the sky and saw that there was no divine punishment falling. He continued to sit cross-legged on the millstone to collect the yin and yang energies from this place.

This scene really shocked many people.

Even Gai Jiuyou frowned. The sea of ​​blood summoned by Li Zhi and the altar under his feet made him feel an inexplicable threat.

It seems that if the altar is really opened, even the real emperor will suffer.

The little jade man, who was offended in front of Li Zhi, turned around and got angry at the other cultivators.

Afterwards, the jade man and the red-haired monster began to work together to slaughter the monks.

Moreover, upon seeing this, the Peacock King and the Taoist Red Dragon brought the Green Lotus Emperor's soldiers to the edge of the Immortal Pond again, intending to join forces with the people of the Great Xia Dynasty who had already sacrificed the Taihuang Sword to destroy them.

"crash"

But just as the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood were rising and falling, water splashed in the fairy pond, and the piece of green copper with a small green lotus growing on it reappeared.

Then, a brilliant light flashed, the green lotus took shape, and a tall and handsome man suddenly appeared, walking up to the shore step by step from the pool.

With a glance, a green light appeared. Both the jade man and the red-haired monster on the chariot were subjected to the horrific impact and let out terrible screams.

"Qing Emperor."

"It turned out to be the Green Emperor."

"The Green Emperor is not dead, he is still alive."

There were demon lords who screamed, saint lords who exclaimed, and emperor lords who were amazed, all of them were horrified.

Only Gai Jiuyou's eyes flickered and he whispered, "So that's how it is."
