Chapter 218: Fire Domain Casting
Jin State, an ordinary country in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, is famous throughout the world for its Fire Region.

After several years, Li Zhi came to Jin State again, and he had leapt from a small cultivator in a Taoist secret palace to a powerful immortal of the second level.

Within the fire zone, there were cracks everywhere that were emitting fire, as if the earth had been burned by flames, leaving behind bottomless wounds.

Within the Fire Realm, the divine fire rises, without roots or sources, and never extinguished. No one knows where it came from, and no one knows its origin.

Li Zhi stood outside the fire zone, and his Dharma eyes directly penetrated the seven layers of fire zone. It was not until the eighth layer of fire zone that he could no longer see the scenery in the flames.

After dispersing his protective magic power, Li Zhi practiced the upgraded body-refining technique "Divine Fire Tribulation of the Red Dust Tribulation" and walked into the fire domain.

The body-tempering chapter of "The Heavenly Art of Overcoming Tribulations" can transform various things in the world into tribulations to temper one's body. Now, in addition to the heavenly thunder tribulation, Li Zhi has perfected four more body-tempering tribulations, namely the divine fire tribulation, the mountain tribulation, the divine water tribulation and the starry sky tribulation.

The Divine Fire Tribulation, as the name suggests, is to use all kinds of flames in the world to burn the body, thereby making the body stronger.

The mountain tribulation makes Li Zhi transform into a camel-like giant, carrying the mountain on his back and bearing the pressure of various mountains, thereby strengthening his muscles and bones.

Although the divine water calamity is not as explosive as the divine fire calamity, it has the strongest penetration. Even the most ordinary water can wear away a stone, which shows the corrosiveness of water. The divine water calamity uses all kinds of real water in the world to corrode the flesh, making the flesh indestructible.

Li Zhi had previously used various spiritual waters and divine waters to cleanse his body, including the Sun True Water, the Moon True Water, the Myriad Poison Divine Water, and the Yellow Spring Water. In order to better utilize the functions of those divine waters, Li Zhi also specially forged a pressure tank for body refining.

Now his physical body can break the limit and be comparable to a great king, which is the result of practicing the Divine Water Tribulation.

Starry Sky Tribulation is also a mysterious skill that Li Zhi has never really used after perfecting this method of body refining. To practice this tribulation, one needs to use the power of various stars in the outer space to strengthen the body.

If these body-building methods are still only at the physical level, then the "Holy Blood Tribulation" and "Ten Thousand Dao Tribulation" in Li Zhi's plan are the training at the level of laws.

However, his cultivation level is far from enough to experience the trials at the law level. The Holy Blood Sacrifice and the Ten Thousand Tribulations are just names, without any specific content for cultivation.

Walking in the fire zone, Li Zhi discovered that the effect of the first seven layers of flames on his physical body training was minimal.

It was not until the colorful flames in the eighth layer of the Fire Domain that Li Zhi felt the effect of the training.

Since it was effective, Li Zhi did not waste the power of the seven-colored flames in the eighth layer of the fire domain, and began to actively gather the seven-colored flames to burn his body.

The body gradually emitted a layer of glazed colorful light, and the whole person seemed to be refined into a glazed golden body.

The colorful light in Li Zhi's bright red blood became even more intense after being burned by the colorful flames.

Half a month later, the terrifying power of the eighth level of flames had no effect on him.

He could use his body to withstand the scorching heat emitted by the colorful flames.

If other immortals of the second rank could see this scene, they would probably be shocked.

You know, the eighth level of flame in the Fire Realm can burn even the most powerful Saint to death.

After completing the eighth level of flame training, Li Zhi entered the ninth level of the fire realm.

The concentration of the nine-colored flames inside seemed to be much lower than the last time he came. Those flames that had condensed into spirits did not condense into shape at this time, but instead dispersed into groups of nine-colored flames.

"Could it be that Ye Fan came here?"

Li Zhi looked at the changes in the ninth level of the Fire Domain and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Whether Ye Fan had been here or not had no effect on Li Zhi. In his subsequent practice, he began to use the ninth level of flame to refine his body.

After the nine-colored flames approached his body, Li Zhi's body instantly felt as if it was being burned, as if countless steel knives were constantly piercing his skin.

The terrifying high temperature seemed to evaporate the moisture in his body and burn his flesh and blood to ashes.

Li Zhi used all his strength to practice his profound skills, using this extreme test from the outside world to tap into the potential of his body.

As the profound skill of the Divine Fire Tribulation of the Red Dust Tribulation was activated, the divine power in Li Zhi's flesh and blood seemed to be stimulated, and wisps of mysterious rays of light began to appear. Under the guidance of the skill, the rays of light naturally constructed mysterious runes.

As soon as those mysterious runes were born, Li Zhi instantly felt that his flesh and blood seemed to become more resilient.

Moreover, under the calcination of the divine fire, those runes seemed to condense into tripods, towers, bells and other magical weapons with powerful defensive capabilities.

After being burned by the Nine-Colored Divine Fire for seventy-seven forty-nine days, Li Zhi's body reached a higher level.

If his physical strength before was comparable to that of an ordinary great king, then his physical strength now is comparable to that of a great god king.

You can imagine how huge the gap is.

When every inch of Li Zhi's flesh and blood was filled with mysterious runes, the nine-colored flames of the ninth level of the Fire Realm could no longer do anything to him.

As for why he didn't use the tenth level of Immortal Fire to forge his body, Li Zhi was not that ignorant.

At this point, his journey of body training came to a temporary end.

Looking at the clothes that turned into ashes again, Li Zhi vowed that this time he must refine a set of robes that are impervious to water and fire.

After regulating his breathing for a few days, Li Zhi began to practice the ninth level of weapon refining in the Fire Domain.

First, he had to refine the Taoist instrument for the Taoist Palace secret realm.

He took out a huge piece of Five Elements Divine Gold. This was the divine gold that came from the ancestral immortal vein in the Immortal Mansion world. Although it was not as good as the dragon-patterned black gold, which was at the ninth level of the immortal golds, the Five Elements Divine Gold and the Purple Gold Divine Iron were at the same level. It was also a kind of divine gold that could be refined into an ultimate weapon.

The purple gold divine iron was refined into the ultimate weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, in the hands of the Great Emperor Amitabha.

The Five Elements Divine Gold in Li Zhi's hand, if it can be repeatedly sacrificed and refined, can also carry the true laws of the emperor.

Whether a material can be used to refine ultimate weapons depends mainly on whether it can carry the imperial laws.

Before Emperor Hengyu became enlightened, the divine weapon he refined was unable to bear the laws of the emperor due to the material it was made of. So after he became emperor, he used phoenix blood and red gold to refine a divine furnace that could bear the laws of the emperor.

Imperial weapons are not necessarily the innate magical instruments that grow with the cultivators, unless one can obtain immortal gold that can be used to refine ultimate weapons in the initial stages of cultivation.

Most of the imperial weapons in the world were actually forged after the great emperor achieved enlightenment.

Although the Five Elements Divine Gold in Li Zhi's hand is not as good as the Nine Immortal Golds, it is also a rare divine material in the world.

If it were in the ancient immortal period, the Five Elements Divine Gold nurtured by the ancestral dragon vein of this land might have the opportunity to grow into real Five Elements Immortal Gold after receiving enough nourishment from the immortal energy.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world.

Although the essence of heaven and earth in the world of immortals is rich, it can only nurture it to the level of divine gold.

Li Zhi used the nine-colored flame to smelt the five elements of divine gold. The effect was very good. He quickly melted it into a ball of five-colored metallic liquid.

Then, Li Zhi used the method of casting weapons recorded in the secret book of the word "bing" and began to shape the ball of five-colored liquid metal.

Li Zhi hit runes one by one into the molten metal, and then a mini Five Elements Mountain appeared in front of him.

Just before the Five Elements Mountain Seal took shape, Li Zhi suddenly had an idea and drove an Immortal Phoenix Seal into the mountain.

The characters that were about to take shape on the surface of the Five Elements Mountain Seal immediately changed. Under the influence of the Immortal Phoenix Seal, they gradually evolved into five mysterious characters that looked like immortal phoenixes.

The "Five Elements Divine Mountain Seal" that Li Zhi originally intended to engrave was actually transformed into the five big characters "Immortal Immortal Phoenix Seal" under the influence of the mysterious rules of the avenue.

As the divine seal gradually cooled, a five-colored glow emanated from it, and within the five-colored glow, there were faint five-colored divine phoenixes dancing, making the divine seal look extremely sacred, making it truly worthy of its name, "Immortal Phoenix Seal."

At the same time, within the divine seal, a divine power is gestating.

It seems that the divine seal is only one step away from spiritual communication.

Finally, Li Zhi forced out a ball of bright red blood that was emitting seven colors, performed a blood sacrifice on the divine seal, and completely made it his own.

Looking at the Immortal Phoenix Seal in his hand, which was only the size of a fist and shaped like the Five Elements Mountain, Li Zhi showed a satisfied smile.

The secret of the word "Bing" is indeed the supreme method of forging weapons. Although it is not an ancestral weapon, its spirituality also surpasses that of ordinary natal magic weapons.

After observing the divine seal with satisfaction for half a day, Li Zhi placed the Immortal Phoenix Seal in the secret realm of the Taoist Palace, allowing it to be nourished by the Taoist Palace's essence.

After three days of recuperation, Li Zhi's energy and spirit were completely restored to normal.

Then he began to refine the instruments of the Dao in the Four Poles Secret Realm.

Li Zhi took out a piece of golden gold as big as a bull's head.

The spiritual charm emitted by this piece of divine gold is stronger than the Five Elements Divine Gold that he used to refine the Immortal Phoenix Seal before, and it seems to be not inferior to the Nine Elements Divine Gold at all.

This is a piece of Zodiac Divine Gold wrapped in Zodiac Stone that he obtained from the Immortal Mountain.

Although it is not the legendary Zodiac Immortal Gold, the solidity of the Zodiac Immortal Gold he obtained has made Li Zhi very satisfied.

Following the previous method, Li Zhi began to smelt the Zodiac Divine Gold with the Nine-Colored Flame, but an accident occurred.

The nine-colored flames in the fire domain were unable to melt the zodiac divine gold. After burning for several days, it showed no signs of softening.

Li Zhi was quite shocked. Zodiac gold was indeed a metal known for its strength.

Seeing that the nine-colored flames could not melt it in a short period of time, Li Zhi temporarily gave up melting it.

But this time, he wanted to forge more than just one or two instruments of Taoism.

So, in order not to waste time, Li Zhi put away the piece of Zodiac God Gold and took out the piece of black gold with dragon pattern wrapped in stone skin.

This piece of black gold with dragon pattern, which is as big as a forearm, was dug out by Li Zhi in the Ancient Dragon Cave. Although black gold with dragon pattern is also very strong, its properties are not known for its strength. It is no problem to melt it with the nine-color flame.

Li Zhi planned to use the dragon-patterned black gold to forge a magic staff as a tool to carry the Tao to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

It is not an easy task to refine magic weapons with magic gold.

In total, it took Li Zhi three months to refine it into a Nine-Curved Dragon Staff that was one foot taller than him.

It was like a stretched black dragon, and its appearance was almost exactly the same as the nine black dragons pulling the coffin.

Li Zhi imprinted the nine runes of "Nine Transformations of True Dragon" into the dragon staff, making the dragon staff almost psychic.

He then placed the dragon staff in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm to nurture it.

The golden dragon that was originally sleeping in the secret realm shrank its body after seeing the dragon staff, and coiled on the dragon staff, tightly fitting together with the dragon staff, and together they received the nourishment of the dragon energy in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

After successfully refining the dragon staff, Li Zhi rested for nine days before recovering.

Afterwards, he began to refine the Taoist vessel for the Xiantai Secret Realm, which was also the most complicated one.

Li Zhi took out the piece of Void Divine Gold which had almost some properties of Void Immortal Gold, and planned to use it to refine a divine tablet that could suppress the Immortal Platform.

Once within the original ore, that piece of Void Divine Gold was wrapped in several strands of immortal aura, which greatly improved its quality and gave it an almost immortal flavor.

It is the most suitable vessel for refining the secret realm of Xiantai.

This piece of Void Divine Gold that has been imbued with immortal energy is extremely difficult to refine, even more difficult to refine than the piece of black gold with dragon patterns.

Although Li Zhi only needed to condense it into the shape of a divine monument, its sophistication was far less complicated than the Nine-Curved Dragon Staff, but it still took Li Zhi half a year to refine it into shape.

Then Li Zhi began to engrave Taoist patterns and various laws on the Void Immortal Gold Stele.

He engraved almost all of his Taoist accomplishments on the divine stele, and also engraved all of the immortal volumes of the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor that he had obtained on the divine stele.

This is not the most difficult step.

The most troublesome step is to imprint Li Zhi’s own human figure on the divine monument.

It took Li Zhi almost all his efforts to imprint his human figure on the divine monument.

It seemed as if the sacred monument had truly been given a soul.

A flow of immortal aura made the human figure on the monument look extremely sacred, as if a true immortal had walked out from the fairyland.

There is a human figure pattern on the front of the Void Immortal Golden Stele, and scriptures engraved on the back.

However, in the center of those scripture carvings, there was space left for writing four large characters.

On it are engraved four large divine characters: "Daozu Longevity".

It seemed that these four words contained all of Li Zhi's hopes.

Moreover, at the moment when the Void Immortal Gold Stele took shape, it directly brought about the arrival of a heavenly calamity.

You know, under normal circumstances, the Fire Domain is a natural place that conceals the secrets of heaven, and the heavenly calamity will not appear inside the Fire Domain.

The appearance of the thunder tribulation directly alarmed the true ruler of the Fire Realm.

A mysterious little tree made up of fire runes ran out of an ancient cave.

After seeing the Void Immortal Golden Stele that had experienced the baptism of thunder, He actually flew to the bottom of the Immortal Golden Stele on his own initiative.

Then he used the rune fire on his body to forge the Void Immortal Gold Stele, which directly made the aura of the Immortal Gold Stele even more mysterious.

Looking at the Void Immortal Gold Stele being burned by the endless runes emerging from the flame tree, Li Zhi's heart was filled with surprise.

"What's going on? How did it get out by itself?"

Li Zhi had not seen this small tree in the deepest part of the fire area before, and thought it had entered a dormant period.

Unexpectedly, when the Void Immortal Golden Stele was undergoing the tribulation, he was actually lured out.

Under the calcination of countless mysterious rune flames, Li Zhi's Daozu Divine Monument was mysteriously sublimated, and even became directly spiritual, and began to autonomously emit mysterious chanting sounds.

It seemed as if there was a supreme being chanting scriptures inside the immortal golden stele. Li Zhi was stunned by this scene, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

Seeing the thunderbolt dissipate, the rune flames emitted by the mysterious little tree began to converge. Li Zhi showed goodwill to it and tried to communicate with it.

However, this communication gave Li Zhi a sudden shock.

The mysterious little flame tree seemed to be angry with Li Zhi.

"You are a bad guy." Li Zhi could vaguely sense this emotional fluctuation from it, which instantly made him feel cold all over and felt a great terror enveloping him.

In the fire domain, if he was hated by this spiritual flame, he might not be able to leave.

If this little flame tree really unleashes its power, even the Supreme Being would probably have a headache.

"I'm not a bad guy, I'm a good egg." Li Zhi explained to the mysterious tree. "No, I'm not an egg, I'm a good person."

The small tree is not tall, but very vigorous. Flames are dancing on the tree, and mysterious runes are flickering in the flames, as if a small world is collapsing and then reuniting. It is extremely strange, as if it has the supreme power to burn down the heavens and burn down eternity.

Those flames seemed to have emotions, making people feel as if they were falling into an endless hell, with no hope of recovery forever.

"You are a bad guy, you are a bad guy, you are a bad guy."

The little flame tree seemed to have determined that Li Zhi was a bad guy, and kept repeating its emotions like a tape recorder.

"Do you feel it hurt?"

Li Zhi seemed to remember something and immediately summoned out the sapling of the flame tree in the secret realm of the Taoist Palace.

"It didn't disappear, it just got rid of the excess power. My body is too weak to bear that kind of nine-colored flame for a long time, so I cut off its power." Li Zhi explained to the flame tree.

Although the flame tree had vague intelligence, it did not have real wisdom. After seeing that the flame tree seedling did not disappear, it immediately stopped saying that Li Zhi was a bad guy.

Li Zhi also took this opportunity to get closer to it.

In order to gain his trust, Li Zhi almost lost his moral integrity. If outsiders saw him communicating with the mysterious little flame tree, they would probably be shocked.

In order to make the mysterious fairy fire, Li Zhi believed that this was for the seedling of the flame tree in his Taoist palace to thrive. Li Zhi proposed to comprehend the changes in the runes in its body to accelerate its growth.

"Okay." The little flame tree seemed to think that Li Zhi was a child who was acting cute to it, so it agreed to his request.

Li Zhi took advantage of the situation and asked the fairy fire to help melt the difficult-to-melt Zodiac Divine Gold.

Then, Li Zhi used the power of the flame tree to melt the piece of zodiac gold as big as an ox's head into four golden sticks, and the excess part was directly melted into a ball of gold wire.

Li Zhi used the gold threads and the natural silk he had collected before to refine a dark golden robe that was impervious to water and fire.

Finally got rid of the embarrassment of walking a bird in the fire.

Finally, Li Zhi sat in front of the small fairy fire tree and began to feel the changes in the runes on his body.

During this process, Li Zhi even took out all the instruments of the Tao that had not been refined by the Immortal Fire and asked the Immortal Fire to help refine them.

After being refined by the immortal fire, all the instruments of the Tao became spiritual, and after experiencing the baptism of thunder, they were almost evolved into the king's magical weapons.

The sun rises and sets, the clouds roll and disperse, and the environment within the Fire Zone remains unchanged.

The changes in the outside world did not affect Li Zhi in the fire zone at all, and in the process of observing the small flame tree, he entered the deepest level of enlightenment.

It took a year to realize this truth.

A year later, Li Zhi left the Fire Domain contentedly, taking with him the five great Taoist artifacts that had been refined by the Immortal Fire.

As soon as they walked out of the fire area, terrifying thunder poured down.

Li Zhi easily survived this heavenly tribulation and successfully entered the fourth small realm of the second level of the Immortal Realm, becoming a powerful being in the middle stage of the second level of the Immortal Realm.

Even if facing the supreme saint, he would probably not be weaker at all.

In the battle with the old golden eagle monster of the 29th level of immortality, the outcome would probably be a 50-50 chance.

Afterwards, he came to the human city where the cultivators gathered, and after asking about the major events that had happened recently, Li Zhi said with emotion: "In cultivation, one does not know how long time passes. In the blink of an eye, the vast sea turns into mulberry fields."

At this time, two years had passed since he entered the Fire Realm to refine weapons.

The biggest event that happened in the Southern Region was two years ago, when the Saint Body Ye Fan carried a coffin into the Ji family to fight against the Northern Emperor Wang Teng.

After the Holy Body defeated Wang Teng, everyone thought it would become the "Eastern Saint" after the Northern Emperor, Southern Demon, Central Emperor, and Western Bodhisattva.

However, the holy body entered the ancient forbidden area in full view of everyone, and then left Beidou on the Nine Dragon Coffin and disappeared, which gave people endless imagination.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the Eastern Wilds right now is the rapid recovery of the ancient races in the Northern Territory.
