Chapter 221: The Divine Picture Shows Its Power

In the central area of ​​the Eastern Wilderness, there are endless sacred mountains, and the spiritual energy is like a dragon. There are innumerable immortal mountains and sacred lands, which have given birth to countless creations and gathered infinite heavenly essence.

This is a paradise for cultivation, and also a world belonging to cultivators. The customs and habits there are very different from those in the Southern Region.

In the Central Region, the worldly atmosphere is much thinner than in the Southern Region, and large tracts of mountains and forests are controlled by spiritual sects.

Ancient trees and vines, sacred springs and sacred peaks, all reveal the mysteries of nature.

The heaven and earth began to revive, and all things began to become active, making the world in the Central Region more suitable for cultivation.

The pure lands of the major holy places have become more mysterious as the essence of heaven and earth has revived and all paths have become active. There are signs that the number of cultivators has doubled.

Even the number of geniuses has shown a blowout trend, greatly enhancing the strength of the major holy places.

Along the way, Li Zhi observed the sky and the terrain, and discovered more than one sacred land.

It’s a pity that those sacred lands are either occupied by holy places and aristocratic families, or inhabited by great demons and ancient beasts.

"The most prosperous places in the world belong to holy places and aristocratic families," it is indeed not an empty talk.

If you can capture a holy place, the treasures you can obtain will be astounding.

The good fortune scattered outside is, after all, just some fragments.

Li Zhi was somewhat tempted, and was considering whether he should take action against these holy places in the Central Region.

Previously in the Southern Region, he had gained a fortune of great value simply by detaining Li Yuansong, the powerful elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the supreme elders of several other medium-sized sects.

But how can the Xiaoyao Sect in the Southern Region be compared with these holy places in the Central Region?

These holy places occupy the most prosperous divine land in the world, and the incredible wealth accumulated by the religion is so much that it is unimaginable for outsiders.

"Robbery, extortion, destroying religions and countries are indeed addictive." Li Zhi shook his head secretly and gave up this dangerous idea.

After crossing the endless mountains and rivers of the Central Region, Li Zhi came to the Dark City, which is known as the first city in the Central Region.

The walls of the City of Darkness were not very tall, only twelve feet high, even not as tall as the walls of many mortal cities.

But it became the number one city in the Central Region. It had nothing to do with its size, but because this place was too important. It was almost the first main battlefield after the dark turmoil in history. The blood that had invaded the city walls had long since dyed the bricks into dark red, and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

There have been too many wars in ancient times, and the years have left mottled marks on the walls. The array patterns hidden under the knife marks and arrow holes are flowing with a dim luster, making the defense of this city much stronger than that of ordinary cities.

The City of Darkness is adjacent to the Immortal Mountain and not far from the Holy Cliff of the Great Saint Body. It is almost a bridgehead against the dark turmoil in the Immortal Mountain.

According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West has appeared here, the Great Saint Body has been here, and even the Emperor of the Void has been in charge of this city. The Emperor of the Beginning has also descended on this city. Almost all emperors and kings from generation to generation have left legends in this city.

The great saint who shed blood in the Immortal Mountain in his later years had fought bloody battles in the Immortal Mountain and conquered all his life. He had guarded the Dark City for a long time and quelled countless unrests.

Those were the darkest years for Beidou.

After the Void Emperor achieved enlightenment, he conquered various forbidden areas, and the final battle with the Supreme in the Immortal Mountain was the most brutal.

The Wu Shi Great Emperor also made a powerful move here and killed the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone. He also suppressed the Immortal Taoist, a Taoist believer left by the Immortal Emperor, in the Holy Cliff with the List of Gods.

The City of Darkness, because of these immortal legends, has become famous throughout the world and has become the true number one city in the Central Domain.

Walking in the city, feeling the ancient atmosphere of the city and the youthful vitality of the people living in this city, Li Zhi had the illusion of traveling through time and space.

"Tanghulu, made by the time-honored Yichen family, is big, round and sweet."

"Sir, please come in. We have the best wines and will definitely satisfy you."

"Fortune-telling and divination are not allowed without money."

After years of rest and staying away from the disturbance of war, the Dark City is now very prosperous. War is no longer the protagonist, and life is the eternal theme.

On the street, people were coming and going, jostling each other, it was very lively, all businesses were thriving, and people were living in peace, which made Li Zhi quite emotional.

Along the way, Li Zhi also saw many cultivators wandering on the streets, and even some powerful ones were shopping.

This is the case in most cities where immortals and mortals live together, and Li Zhi is no longer surprised by it.

I climbed up to a restaurant, which was right next to the main street of the Dark City. Looking out from the window, I saw a constant stream of traffic and the sounds of hawking. From time to time, I could even see some monks flying in the air controlling their divine lights.

Li Zhi opened his five senses and listened to all kinds of news.

Soon, he heard an interesting piece of news.

A group of ancient creatures from the Northern Territory have recently descended on the Dark City, acting mysteriously and seem to be planning on taking over the Immortal Mountain.

"Brother Dao, do you know which tribe those ancient creatures came from? Are they from the ancient royal family or the ancient imperial family?"

"I don't know about that. If I want to distinguish their specific identities, I'm afraid I have to go to the Northern Territory to truly understand their details."

"I know this. They claim to be the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals. They came to the Dark City on the orders of a man named Tian Huangzi."

"Prince Tianhuang, who is that? How come I have never heard of it?"

"You don't even know the Prince of Heaven? He is the descendant of the Immortal Emperor, a true ancient prince. Even among those ancient creatures, his status is even higher than that of the ancient princes. He is known as the Son of God. It is said that his cultivation talent is the best in the world. He has become a powerful being just a few years after he was born."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, where did you get this information?"

"I have a friend who just came back from the Divine City in the Northern Territory. I heard from him that the news of the birth of the Heavenly Prince has caused quite a stir among the major ancient biological groups in the Northern Territory. Many major sects in the Northern Territory have felt a huge pressure and have even begun to shrink their sphere of influence. My friend said that the major sects in the Northern Territory have determined that the Heavenly Prince will start to travel the world in three to five years, and by then he will put pressure on all the younger generation. Unless my human race has an emperor's son born, we will never be able to be compared with him."

"The prince is in the Northern Territory, why would he send people to the Dark City? There are no ancient creatures sleeping in our Central Territory."

"The specific reason is unknown. But there is a rumor that I don't know whether it is true or not. Let's just treat it as a story."

"Senior Jiang, what is this gossip? Tell us quickly."

"The reason why the prince sent people to the Dark City was to get in touch with a mysterious being in the Immortal Mountain."

"The person he wants to contact, could it be that supreme being who was suppressed by the Wu Shi Great Emperor back then?"

"Who knows? But those ancient creatures are very ferocious, and many Taoists have been killed by them."

"They killed someone, why haven't we heard about it?"

"A few fellow Taoists wanted to see what they were doing in the Central Region, so they followed them. Unfortunately, those ancient creatures were unreasonable and killed them directly."

"Isn't there any senior who can stop them?"

"Which senior dares to intervene in the affairs of those ancient creatures? Besides, among those ancient creatures, there are more than ten masters at the powerful level, and one of them is particularly powerful, suspected to be a king."

……

After hearing the conversation between those people, Li Zhi developed a strong interest in that group of ancient creatures.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Zhi found the group of ancient creatures in the city based on the information he had heard.

The person leading the group was a young girl who looked just like a human. Although most of the other ancient creatures were in human form, their looks were very strange. After transforming into human form, they still retained many of the racial characteristics of the ancient creatures.

The young girl was accompanied only by four powerful ancient creatures, each of them tall and with an imposing aura.

The young girl is full of a sense of returning to nature, quiet and natural, and full of the charm of being about to be liberated.

It seems that if she is given a few more years to practice, she will be able to succeed in the Dao of Destruction.

For a master of this level, why would he come here instead of staying at home in seclusion and practicing Taoism?

"How's the information collection going?" asked a young girl with long aqua blue hair.

"We're already trying hard to collect information, but we can't confirm the authenticity of the information." said an ancient creature with four pairs of wings on its back.

"Aunt Lan, I think instead of wasting time in the human world, we should go directly to the outside of the Immortal Mountain to build an altar." said another ancient creature with fox ears and a layer of silver scales on his face.

"Let's wait until they come back." said the blue-haired young woman.

"Aunt Lan, we can actually send someone to the Immortal Mountain to find out the situation. According to the information collected during this period, many cultivators from the Central Region entered the Immortal Mountain in the past few years and came out alive. Perhaps we can go in directly and communicate with the beings inside." said another ancient creature with a pair of sharp horns.

"Idiot, do you think the Life Forbidden Zone is a place you can just trespass in?" the blue-haired young woman scolded directly.

"Aunt Lan, what I mean is that we can capture some human monks, refine them into puppets, and send messages to the Immortal Mountain for us." The ancient creature with sharp horns explained hurriedly.

“Aunt Lan, I think what Jinjiao said makes sense. Those human monks are so weak, yet they dare to spy on us. It’s time to let them serve the Son of God.” said the ancient creature with fox ears.

"Remember, this is temporarily human territory. Don't make too much noise. Just catch people outside the city." The blue-haired young woman said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing this, Li Zhi quietly followed them, and then saw with his own eyes how those ancient creatures captured human monks.

In just a few days, hundreds of human monks were captured by those ancient creatures, even including three powerful human monks.

The other people who were captured had cultivation levels at least above the Four Extreme Secret Realms.

Most of them are masters of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Near the Dark City, hundreds of cultivators above the Four Extreme Secret Realms disappeared in such a short period of time, causing panic on a small scale.

Some people suspected that it was done by ancient creatures and began to investigate secretly.

Unfortunately, under the leadership of the blue-haired girl, those ancient creatures had already taken the captives to the primitive forest outside the Immortal Mountain.

Therefore, their actions were not discovered by the human monks in the Dark City. Seeing the blue-haired girl use the method of controlling the gods to control those human monks, Li Zhi was full of curiosity about this method.

The art of controlling gods has existed since ancient times, and the ruthless emperor's art of controlling gods is even more unique. Now it seems that the blue-haired girl's art of controlling gods is also extraordinary.

After the blue-haired girl used the mind-controlling technique on the group of human monks, they immediately became her most loyal soldiers, without a trace of their own minds.

Then, those people, under the control of the blue-haired girl, went directly into the Immortal Mountain.

The pitch-black mountains exude an atmosphere of eternal suppression, and the deep ancient forests cannot conceal the shocking murderous intent.

The silent Immortal Mountain seems to have not changed at all compared to a few years ago.

In Li Zhi's eyes, mysterious runes were imprinted into the mountain, and there were dead ends everywhere. Even the way of life left by the Void Emperor seemed to have been cut off by a mysterious force.

After those human monks entered the Immortal Mountain, they all died in less than an incense stick of time.

This made the group of ancient creatures feel a little scared.

"Let's build an altar." After seeing the result, the blue-haired girl was silent for a long time and then said directly.

Soon, the group of ancient creatures began to take action, cutting down trees and building an altar.

In just three days, they built a magnificent altar hundreds of feet high in the primitive forest outside the Immortal Mountain.

A brand new wooden palace sits at the top of the altar.

Then, the blue-haired girl took out a mysterious stone tripod that exuded a strong divine aura and placed it in front of the palace.

"It's actually a stone tripod made of Phoenix Blood Stone. It's really a good thing." Li Zhi kept muttering in his heart when he saw the stone tripod.

This Phoenix Blood Stone Tripod was actually the incense burner used when the Immortal Emperor was worshipped by all spirits, so it exudes a strong divine aura.

Before this, Li Zhi had never seen anything with such a strong divine aura.

After the blue-haired girl placed the stone tripod in front of the palace, she entered the brand new palace and placed a statue of a mysterious Taoist carved from a sacred wood inside.

Li Zhi felt the breath of the Emperor's son from the sacred tree statue.

It seems that the blood and essence of the Emperor's son are sealed within the statue.

It seemed that after the blue-haired girl put the statue and incense burner in place, she was about to lead the group of ancient creatures to recite scriptures to worship the gods, as if she wanted to communicate with the supreme being in the Immortal Mountain.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly took action.

He used his unique skill of picking stars to directly snatch away the Phoenix Blood Stone Cauldron on the altar and the wooden statue in the temple from a distance of dozens of miles.

"The power of the Star-Picking Hand is indeed extraordinary." After Li Zhi put the stone tripod and the statue into the Hundred Herbs Map and suppressed them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Star-Picking Hand is one of the difficult-to-practice ancient techniques given to Li Zhi by the powerful men of the Southern Region when they bought his life.

As long as you enter the door, you can grab the objects that come into your sight, just like taking something out of a bag. When you practice to the minor success level, you can pick stars and take the moon. When you practice to the major success level, you can even directly grab an ancient life star.

However, it is indeed extremely difficult to get started. Not only does it require a certain level of cultivation, but it also has extremely high requirements on the cultivator's physical body, soul, and comprehension.

"How dare you steal the Son of God's things."

The group of ancient creatures were immediately enraged when they saw the statue and the stone tripod disappear in a flash before their eyes.

The blue-haired girl was even more furious, and a third eye grew directly between her eyebrows. After a beam of purple light shot out, she immediately saw the back of Li Zhi who was fleeing into the distance.

"Chase him, auntie, I'm going to cut him into pieces." The blue-haired girl shouted murderously.

The group of ancient creatures immediately chased after them with tremendous anger.

When Li Zhi saw them chasing him, he did not move forward at full speed. Instead, after flying for a distance, he stopped on a sacred mountain thousands of miles away.

"Human, you are so bold that you actually snatched the Son of God's things right under your aunt's nose. Today, I will make you experience all the tortures in the world and vent my hatred."

A phantom of a green three-eyed divine bird appeared behind the blue-haired girl, as if it was going to cut Li Zhi into pieces.

Facing the group of arrogant ancient creatures, Li Zhi said calmly: "Wulian Tianzun. You, the ancient survivors, are lucky enough to live to this day, but you don't appreciate the grace of heaven, and you wantonly slaughter our human cultivators. Your crime deserves death. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and let you know that heaven's will cannot be deceived and human morality cannot be insulted."

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

"Damn it!"

This group of ancient creatures had never been scolded like this by human monks. They immediately became furious and rushed towards Li Zhi with all their strength.

When facing this group of ancient creatures, Li Zhi showed no fear and no hesitation. He directly sacrificed the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, and then summoned the Yin-Yang Life and Death diagram of the Wheel Sea.

The space within a radius of one hundred miles instantly turned into a mysterious world filled with only life and death.

In the world, a milky white wheel of life is slowly spinning, and corresponding to it is a pitch-black wheel of death that is also slowly spinning.

All ancient creatures felt an unprecedented pressure, and they also felt that their life essence was rapidly draining away.

Even the blue-haired girl who was about to be killed felt like her life force was being sucked away.

"You are just a mere wheel sea anomaly and you want to be so violent. I, your aunt, will tear you to pieces today."

"Chirp!"

The three-eyed eagle behind the blue-haired girl immediately let out a loud cry, then stretched out its eagle claws in an attempt to tear apart Li Zhi's wheel sea vision.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi's wheel sea vision contained not only the power of the vision, but also the magical power of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, which was able to withstand the girl's angry attack.

Then the war broke out.

In the space covered by the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, Li Zhi fought against a hundred people alone, and with just one encounter, he killed all the ancient creatures whose cultivation was lower than that of the great powers.

Then, he began to kill those ancient creatures of powerful level one by one.

When the blue-haired girl saw how powerful Li Zhi was, a trace of shock flashed in her eyes, and then she summoned a green spear of the king's divine weapon level.

After piercing through Li Zhi's wheel sea vision, the blue-haired girl escaped and released her wheel sea vision at the same time. It was a terrifying sea of ​​thunder and a divine eagle flashing with thunder was flying in the sea of ​​thunder.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The fierce battle seemed to pierce the sky, emitting a terrifying momentum, and the aftermath shattered one mountain range after another.

Li Zhi was fighting with the blue-haired girl while chasing after those powerful ancient creatures.

After finally killing all the powerful ancient creatures, he was finally able to focus on dealing with the blue-haired girl holding the magic gun.

Li Zhi even combined the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram and the Yin-Yang Life and Death diagram into one.

Then he activated the power of the moon and the sun to imprison the entire void.

"what!"

The blue-haired girl felt a terrifying tearing force coming from the void, as if it was going to decompose her soul and body.

At the same time, behind Li Zhi, a terrifying Kunpeng figure leaped out from the void and summoned a huge Yin-Yang Divine Mill.

The blue-haired girl kept struggling and resisting, but in the end Li Zhi was more powerful than her. She was covered by the divine mill and then ground into pieces bit by bit.

"The Son of God will not let you go."

This was the last resentment uttered by the blue-haired girl before she died.

After grinding her into powder, Li Zhi did not stop, but ground the corpses of other ancient creatures into powder under the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel.

From the discharge port of the millstone, a pure breath of life and a pure breath of death slowly flowed out, and some fragments of laws floated out from the millstone.

After Li Zhi waved his hand to collect them all, he turned his head to look at the mountains and forests in the distance, and then rushed towards the primeval forest outside the Immortal Mountain without looking back.

It was not until Li Zhi disappeared completely that seven or eight cultivators walked out of the forest.

Looking at the waste ashes still floating in the air, everyone looked at each other, but could not hide the shock in their hearts.

"That Taoist just now, with his own strength, killed hundreds of ancient creatures?" A middle-aged cultivator still found it hard to believe what he had just seen.

"Yes, you read that right. He killed all the ancient creatures that appeared in the Dark City." An old man next to him nodded.

"Who is that Taoist? Why have we never heard of him before? Did he just perform the legendary Wheel Sea Vision Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram? And he also cultivated the divine form of Kunpeng?" asked another cultivator.

"Looking at the vigorous vitality emanating from him, he doesn't seem to be an old-generation warrior, but a young genius. Could he be the hidden spy of that holy land?"

“With such terrifying strength, I’m afraid he is not just a hidden pawn of the Holy Land. Could he be the prince of our human race?” As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways.

"Did he look in our direction before he left?"

"Return to the city, immediately. If such a terrifying person appears in the world, the world will be in chaos."

At the same time, in a mysterious palace far away in the Northern Territory, the Emperor's son, who was in seclusion, suddenly lost the connection with the statue and immediately called for people to check on the situation of Lan Ying and others.
