Chapter 233 Return to the Northern Territory
The sky is high and the land is vast, and all you see is a desolate place.

On the earth, life is weak, the grass and trees are sparse, all living things have disappeared, and the sky and the earth are the same color as far as the eye can see.

This is the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness. Dryness and desolation have long become the eternal themes of this land. Compared with the Central Region, this place seems like another world.

All the ways have revived, and vital energy has returned, but the land of the Northern Territory does not seem to have changed much.

But beneath the earth, the source energy rolled like tides, like dark rivers surging, constantly forming new pure source blocks, alien source blocks, and even divine source blocks in the earth veins.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth of the Northern Territory had gathered all life force under the earth.

After many years, he set foot on the land of the Northern Territory again. The mountains and rivers before him instantly evoked many beautiful memories in his heart.

Here he forged a peerless foundation for the Dao, obtained endless fortune, and enjoyed great luck. He was in high spirits and enjoyed the treatment of a son of destiny for a period of time.

Ancient scriptures, elixirs of immortality, divine materials, divine sources, all kinds of magical objects of creation seemed to be gathering towards him endlessly.

It is definitely not like today where if you want to get something, you have to take risks to fight, rob, or steal.

However, the price of borrowing good fortune from heaven and earth was too high. He did not have the power of an emperor to eliminate cause and effect by himself, so he had long since abandoned the practice of borrowing good fortune from heaven.

After all, most of the holy spirits that are favored by God do not have a good ending.

Being loved by heaven and earth, one will naturally be envied by all living things. This is the common human nature of all living things.

The Mengzhang and other three sisters did not quite understand why Li Zhi insisted on leaving the prosperous Central Region and coming to the desolate Northern Region.

The central area of ​​the Eastern Wasteland has a beautiful environment and rich energy from heaven and earth. Why did Li Zhi bring them to this wasteland? Although there are oases in the northern area, it is still a desolate place with no one living there overall.

The cultivation environment in the Northern Region was far inferior to that in the Central Region, and the Northern Region during this period was even more dangerous due to the gradual revival of ancient creatures. It seemed as if the world was filled with a murderous aura, and exchanges between sects in various oases became rare.

In the eyes of everyone, the Northern Territory has become a place suitable for fighting rather than a pure land for cultivation.

After walking out of the domain gate, they found themselves not in an oasis with people, but a vast uninhabited area.

Standing on the bare mountain and looking at the desolate land around them, the four sisters all showed a hint of disgust in their eyes.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot withstand the baptism of wind and sand. Even if they are cultivators, immortal-level cultivators, they will not like the environment in the Northern Territory.

"Master, where are you going next?" Meng Zhang, who was standing behind Li Zhi, finally remembered their duties and asked quickly.

"Let's go to the Divine City. I want to start refining the elixir. I'm still missing some rare materials, and only the Divine City can find them quickly." Li Zhi said calmly.

After saying that, Li Zhi planned to fly towards the direction of the divine city.

This place is tens of millions of miles away from the Holy City of the Northern Territory, and it takes a long time to fly.

However, before he could leave, Hongye took out a large chariot and released a white deer that had been imprisoned in a magic weapon.

When the white deer saw that he had gained his freedom, he wanted to run away on the spot.

But Dong Qing and Xia Li blocked his way.

"White Deer, it's your blessing to be able to pull the cart for the master, but you are still thinking of running away. Do you know how many people want to be the master's disciple but cannot?" Dong Qing took out a small whip and shouted, pointing at the tall white deer.

"I am a divine deer. How can I be controlled by you humans? Even if I die, you can't make me surrender." The white deer spoke in human language and shouted angrily.

"Then run, why don't you run anymore?" Xia Li took out a jade token and played with it in his hand.

Seeing Xia Li threatening him with his soul jade token, Bai Lu's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of grievance, and he said, "You are going too far, my father will not let you go. I have the blood of the divine beast Seven-Colored Deer flowing in my body, and my father will definitely come to rescue me."

"Your father is the old deer that is about to die of old age. I really don't know how he could give birth to a child like you who has the blood of a divine beast. Did your mother cheat on your father? Otherwise, how could you, as a prince of the divine deer lineage of the demon clan, be raised in the wilderness? If you hadn't been met by us sisters, you would probably have died in the mouth of that black panther, right?" Xia Li said with a smile.

"You hateful human, my mother has done nothing wrong to my father. My bloodline has returned to my ancestors. I am the descendant of the great Seven-Colored Divine Deer." The white deer seemed to have been hit in the vitals and denied it directly.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and put the rope on. Do you want your master to wait for you to show your temper?" Xia Li said.

"You took advantage of my misfortune and planted a soul restriction on me when I was seriously injured. If you fight me alone, you may not be my opponent. Do you dare to return the soul restriction plate to me?" Bai Lu is an outlier in the tribe. He has been snow-white since birth and there is not a trace of the Deer King's blood in his body.

Later it was exiled to the wilderness and left to fend for itself.

However, it awakened the bloodline of the divine deer and figured out the ancient demon's cultivation method through the bloodline inheritance.

It took him three hundred years to cultivate to the level comparable to that of a human immortal cultivator.

Seeing that the white deer had no intention of putting on the reins, Li Zhi said to Xia Li, "Xia Li, return the Yuanshen Restriction Card to it."

"Master, do you want to let it go? But if you let it go, who will pull the cart for you?" Xia Li said reluctantly.

In order to facilitate travel, the sisters customized this luxurious chariot for Li Zhi in order to catch an ancient beast that could pull the chariot worthy of Li Zhi's status.

The sisters searched in the wilderness for more than a month before they found this white deer with the blood of a divine beast.

"Three. The master asked you to return the soul restriction card to it. What are you still hesitating about? Return it to it quickly." Meng Zhang scolded directly.

Xia Li returned the soul restriction card to Bai Lu.

After Bai Lu received the restriction card, he quickly removed the restriction on his own soul, and then said to Li Zhi in disbelief: "Wu Nadao, are you really going to let this divine deer go?"

Li Zhi said: "I will naturally let you go, but before that you should pull the cart for me for a while, so as to repay my four maids for saving your life."

Bai Lu shook his head and said, "No, I can't be an ancient beast pulling a cart. It will damage my animal character."

Li Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "Then I will give you a chance. As long as you can get rid of the little spiritual world I created, I will let you go. Otherwise, you will have to pull the cart for me obediently."

The white deer said: "Okay, this divine deer accepts your challenge."

Two rays of divine light shot out from Li Zhi's eyes, and Bai Lu's mind was instantly pulled into a mysterious spiritual world.

Seeing this, Hongye asked Meng Zhang, "Sister, what method did the master use? Can he make this white deer obey?"

Meng Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't know what this method is, but I believe that the master will make this stupid deer obedient."

Sure enough, not long after, the white deer suddenly started to cry loudly, and kept saying to Li Zhi: "Master, please be merciful. The deer knows its fault. I hope you will not abandon it and let the deer pull the cart for you to atone for your sins."

Li Zhi nodded slightly and walked into the chariot.

After Dongqing put the lasso on the sacred deer, he asked, "Little White Deer, have you finally found your conscience?"

The white deer turned his head away, as if he was disdainful of communicating with Dongqing.

The space inside the chariot is very spacious, and it seems that it was used to refine magical instruments. The space inside is over a thousand square meters.

It was divided into rooms.

The four maids occupied the rooms in the four corners of the chariot, while Li Zhi sat in the room in the center of the chariot.

This is a chariot that the four Mengzhang sisters commissioned from a master craftsman in the Central Region at a cost of 100,000 kilograms of pure source.

According to them, Li Zhi is now a powerful monk who is on par with the saints of various religions. When he goes out, he can no longer be as casual as before.

The necessary pomp and circumstance still needs to be displayed, especially the car, which is a must.

Li Zhi did not point out the sisters' little thoughts. In name, they were preparing a chariot for themselves, but in reality, they did not want to show up in public and used the excuse to let him buy a carriage.

In fact, this was the first time Li Zhi had ridden in the chariot since it was installed. When they were in the Central Region, she and her sisters had already enjoyed the comfort of the chariot in the name of a test drive.

At first they used a green ox to pull the cart, but the ox was slow, so they set their sights on those ancient beasts that had not yet transformed in the wilderness of the Central Region.

The day before Li Zhi planned to leave Central Region, they finally caught the white deer.

Because this white deer looks very majestic, more than ten feet tall, covered with a layer of fluorescent snow-white fur, and the antlers on its head are flowing with colorful light, which matches this gorgeous chariot perfectly.

In order to subdue it, the four Meng Zhang sisters even used the Four Symbols Demon Subduing Formation, and finally they subdued the seriously injured divine deer, and then planted a restriction on its soul.

Now, after being taught a lesson by Li Zhi in the spiritual world, he can be considered to have been converted a second time and is willing to pull the cart for Li Zhi.

After harnessing the chariot, the four sisters took turns sitting outside the carriage and driving it.

But inside the chariot, there was no shaking at all.

The divine deer stepped on the sky, a rainbow appeared under its feet, and it pulled the chariot and galloped rapidly in the sky. Its speed was faster than the speed of ordinary human beings flying at full speed.

Along the way, Li Zhi just sat in his room and concentrated on enlightenment. Recently, there are four sisters around to handle his daily chores, making Li Zhi's life more "monotonous".

He started living a god-like life with everything provided for him.

Ever since that day when he discussed Taoism with Old Crane, Old Rhinoceros and Qi Shubai, Li Zhi has been trying to comprehend the strange phenomena of the Wheel Sea. The more he comprehends, the deeper his understanding of the secret realm of the Wheel Sea becomes.

The wheel sea phenomenon did not occur out of thin air.

Almost all of them are supernatural powers derived from practicing ancient scriptures.

This is why most cultivators can only possess one type of wheel sea vision.

Because of the practice of different ancient scriptures, the "doors" of the human body that are opened are slightly different.

The wheel sea visions that can be opened are also different.

Having the method to open the wheel sea phenomenon does not necessarily mean that you will be able to succeed in cultivation.

The reason why Li Zhi was able to successfully activate the five wheel sea phenomena was not only because of his strong physique.

It was also because he had practiced numerous scriptures in the Lunhai Secret Realm.

He was able to open the Yin-Yang Diagram of Life and Death because he comprehended the Yin-Yang principles in the "Sun Sutra" and the "Moon Sutra" and condensed a wheel of death that corresponded to the Wheel of Life.

He was able to open the Chaos Green Lotus because he practiced part of the "Green Lotus Emperor Sutra" and reshaped the Fountain of Life.

The reason he was able to open the Map of Rivers and Mountains was because it was a reflection of his gains from studying the Wheel Sea Volume of the Tao Te Ching.

The ability to see the Immortal Palace of Immortality is a kind of wheel sea phenomenon derived from the fundamental scripture "Innate Longevity Gong" that he practiced.

His ability to open the Zhoutian Star Map was based on his profound understanding of "The Great Way of Stars" and the four imperial characters "Wulian Tianzun".

The cultivation of the Wheel Sea Phenomenon cannot be achieved simply based on one's own characteristics. It also requires a powerful ancient scripture as a foundation.

Every strange phenomenon in the sea of ​​​​wheels is actually a manifestation of the great way.

Therefore, the wheel sea phenomenon cannot be activated casually.

All the strange phenomena in the wheel sea opened by Li Zhi were, without exception, related to the path of immortality that he was practicing.

Whether it's the life and death energies of the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram, the primordial power of the Chaos Seed Green Lotus, the difference between immortals and mortals in the Wanli Rivers and Mountains Diagram, the eternal artistic conception of suppression in the Immortal Palace, or the ability to evolve the heavens in the Zhoutian Star Diagram, they are all the media he uses to practice immortality.

The sixth wheel sea phenomenon that he planned to activate next was his understanding of vitality.

"The Phoenix Roaring at the Sky" is the sixth wheel sea phenomenon that Li Zhi wants to open.

The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes, and has reached an extremely high level of evolution of its vitality.

In order to activate the sixth wheel sea phenomenon, the Immortal Phoenix Dao Seal that Li Zhi had obtained before was far from enough. He needed specific cultivation scriptures of the Phoenix clan, or in other words, he needed to observe the specific cultivation results of the Immortal Phoenix.

This time when he came to the Northern Territory, in addition to starting the furnace to refine the elixir, Li Zhi planned to have a friendly exchange with the Prince of Heaven.

If there is a chance to obtain the ancient divine scripture practiced by the Prince of Heaven, that would be the best outcome.

If you cannot obtain the ancient scriptures of the gods, you must at least see traces of the Immortal Phoenix Avenue from the Prince of Heaven.

"Stealing Heaven's Secret" is the fundamental basis for Li Zhi's rise, and he has never given up on the evolution and upgrading of Stealing Heaven's Secret.

Especially after comprehending the article "Insights from Heaven" written by Shi Huang, his ability to "steal the secrets of heaven" has reached an extreme level.

This gave Li Zhi the ability to know the other person's cultivation path through fighting with him, and to a certain extent, he could even reversely deduce the ancient scriptures that the other person practiced based on the other person's cultivation path.

This is a very remarkable method.

For example, if Li Zhi is fighting with a powerful person now, he can use the path that the powerful person practices to infer the scriptures that the powerful person practices.

Of course, the scriptures that are inferred here refer to the scriptures of the corresponding realm.

It is impossible to directly deduce the Emperor's Scripture just by fighting with a descendant of a great emperor who has practiced the Emperor's Scripture.

But that is Li Zhi's ultimate goal. He believes that one day he will reach the level where he can directly deduce the Emperor's Scripture that the other party is practicing.

For example, in the future era of the Emperor of Heaven, Wang Bo, the innate chaotic body, will have a thorough understanding of the various magical aspects of the Ancient Chaos Scripture created by Ye Fan through fighting with Ye Xian, the chaotic body of Heaven.

There is also the holy spirit cultivated in the Yao Chi Holy Land, which can analyze the blood of monks and extract the runes of the origin of the Dao in the blood.

The above two methods are Li Zhi’s pursuit of "stealing the secrets of heaven".

In the "Insights from Heaven" written by Shi Huang, there was an extremely in-depth explanation of the relationship between the Holy Spirit and all things in heaven and earth. It was also because of that scripture that Li Zhi's ability to steal the secrets of heaven was greatly improved.

After carefully studying "The Insights from God" written by Shi Huang, Li Zhi gained a completely new understanding of the horror of the Holy Spirit.

Even though many holy spirits have been wiped out by ancient emperors or great kings since ancient times.

But that doesn’t mean the Holy Spirit isn’t powerful enough.

In addition to fighting, the innate magical powers nurtured by the Holy Spirit are the most anticipated things.

That thing has similar effects to the supreme treasure technique nurtured in the body of the first generation in the chaotic ancient times, and it is not entirely reflected in combat.

Especially the Holy Spirit who has truly achieved great perfection and has gone one step further to become an emperor is even more terrifying and far more powerful than an ordinary emperor.

Moreover, their understanding of the laws of nature is different from that of ordinary emperors.

In the original timeline, after Emperor Yuhua transformed himself into a holy spirit and became an emperor again, he definitely possessed the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor. If he had not met Emperor Henren who was about to turn into a mortal immortal, he would definitely let the world see the peerless elegance of this path to immortality.

The divine deer chariot, like a rainbow, passed through the sky of the Northern Territory, passing through one oasis after another, attracting the attention of many people.

Finally, the chariot entered the city of gods unimpeded.

Li Zhi went directly to the underground fire pool in the divine city that could refine divine pills.

Then the task of collecting various materials was given to the four sisters Meng Zhang.

After entering the alchemy room, looking at the various precious spiritual materials placed in front of him, a trace of longing suddenly flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

Counting the time, it has been twenty years since he left the earth in the Nine Dragons Coffin. Although he spent most of the time in cultivation, as time passed, he suddenly began to miss his two children at home in recent months.

It was not known whether it was because his body had fully matured again and his former emotions had fully returned, or because he was about to face the great calamity of being killed, which had aroused the worldly love in his heart.

I wonder if Jizu and Xian'er have forgotten their father after they grew up.

Today, Li Zhi's appearance has been fixed at the age of early twenties, which is almost the same as his appearance on Earth.

In another four or five years, Ye Fan will return to Earth. Although Li Zhi's real body will not go back at that time, he will ask Ye Fan to bring some things back.

This trip to the Divine City to make the elixir was prepared by my family on Earth.

Previously, he had stolen four divine treasure houses from the Four Symbols Holy Land. The materials stored in them were extremely rich. Even if they practiced in an environment similar to the Dharma Ending Age on Earth, they could still support them in practicing to the realm of great power.

After getting rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Zhi began to concentrate on refining various elixirs.

Starting from the elixirs that are suitable for use by the monks in the Lunhai Secret Realm, he continued to refine the elixirs until they were suitable for use by the powerful.

There are elixirs from the Book of Changes that can replenish the marrow, holy elixirs that can heal wounds, magical elixirs that can save lives, precious elixirs that can prolong life, and elixirs that can help people attain enlightenment.

There are a full range of elixirs for internal and external use.

Li Zhi sealed them all in a magic jade box.

In addition to elixirs, the treasure box also contains a large number of pure sources, alien sources and divine sources.

It took Li Zhi half a year to refine all the pills.

Then he took out the statue that the Prince of Heaven had refined with his own blood and essence.

Waiting for the Emperor's son to show up.

He believed that with the Emperor's character, he would definitely send someone over on his own initiative.
