Chapter 234 The Devil’s Smile

"What kind of elixir is the master refining that consumes so many ordinary medicinal materials?"

In the Northern Divine City, in an inn opened by the Five Elements Palace, Li Zhi's four maids were temporarily living here.

On weekdays, their main job is to buy various elixirs and magical materials for Li Zhi to assist in alchemy.

At the same time, he was also inquiring about the various things happening in the Northern Territory for Li Zhi in the Divine City. Apart from that, he was practicing hard.

Li Zhi gave them some enlightenment tea to assist them in their practice.

However, they were quite puzzled by the fact that Li Zhi purchased a large amount of alchemy materials that were only used by low-level cultivators.

After all, with Li Zhi's current level of cultivation, only the magic pill is useful to him.

"Let's not make random guesses about the master's thoughts. The task the master assigned to us yesterday was not easy, we have to complete it with all our heart." said the eldest brother Meng Zhang.

"Could it be that the master wants us to monitor the Prince of Heaven's subordinates in order to take action against them in the Northern Territory? But the Prince of Heaven's subordinates are not easy to deal with. Not only are there many powerful people, there are also many ancient creatures at the king level. There are even many ancient ancestor kings supporting him behind the scenes." The second brother Hongye said with some concern.

"Second sister, I'm afraid you are wrong. How could those subordinates of the Prince of Heaven be worthy of the master's attention? I think the master asked us to monitor those ancient creatures in order to find the specific secluded place of the Prince of Heaven. The master's target has always been the Prince of Heaven himself." Xia Li said eagerly.

After staying in the God City for half a year, they had a deeper understanding of the ancient creatures. Now, all the major sects in the Northern Territory have completely retreated to avoid direct conflict with those ancient creatures.

Mentioning the ancient creatures makes many native cultivators in the Northern Territory change color.

Although the ancient creatures are few in number, they are all very powerful, and most of them are backed by the ancestral kings, which makes the major sects extremely wary.

"It is said that there has been a conflict between the Heavenly Prince and the Holy Prince, and recently the Heavenly Prince has started to send people to hunt down the Holy Prince."

"That prince of heaven is called the Son of God, but I think he is just a name in vain. We have collected so much information about him, but there is not a single piece of information that he personally took action. He always asked his subordinates to do it. Moreover, he never travels alone, and is always surrounded by people. He does not have the bearing of a son of God at all, but rather like a rich dandy. I still admire that invincible monkey more."

"Qing'er, the bloodline of the Heavenly Prince is powerful, and the status of the Holy Prince is noble. These are not things we can discuss carelessly. If those with ulterior motives hear them, it may cause unnecessary trouble to the master."

"The North Territory is different from the Central Territory. As ancient creatures are born one after another, many kings are already walking around. There are also those ancient ancestor kings hiding in the dark, which can bring huge threats to the master. Although the master has extremely powerful Taoism, he cannot do whatever he wants in the North Territory."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Just when the four girls were inquiring about the movements of the emperor's subordinates, Li Zhi had already dismantled the statue.

And melted out the fairy phoenix blood inside.

Li Zhi discovered that there was not only the blood of the Emperor's son, but also a trace of a more powerful blood, suspected to be the blood of the Immortal Emperor.

However, after Li Zhi melted the blood to the extreme, he did not find any blood runes in the blood.

It seems that my own cultivation is still not enough.

In the end, the blood turned to ashes, and the sacred tree used to carve the statue was also drained of its essence by Li Zhi and turned into a ball of ashes.

Just after the statue was destroyed, in the area of ​​the Northern Territory near Purple Mountain, there was a mysterious valley shrouded by heavy formations.

In the valley, there are palaces everywhere, the essence is surging, the dragon energy is rising from the earth veins, the clouds are steaming, and there are thousand-year-old medicines planted in the medicine fields. It is an excellent pure land for spiritual practice.

The prince of heaven, who was originally in seclusion, suddenly had an inspiration, and then he found that the statue he had used for sacrifice was completely destroyed.

That was what he used to carry the supreme divine thoughts.

Once the Immortal Taoist lets a wisp of his divine consciousness parasitize within the sacred tree, he can transform the statue into the most terrifying forbidden weapon in the world.

But now, the hope of turning the statue into a forbidden weapon has been destroyed by Li Zhi.

This made the Crown Prince extremely uncomfortable, as he was a very insecure person.

Although he is surrounded by eight divine generals to guard him, there are also many ancient ancestor kings supporting him behind the scenes.

However, his past experiences made him very sensitive about his own safety.

Originally, he wanted to take away the five-colored divine belt of the Immortal Emperor, who was worshipped by everyone, from the temple and refine it into his guardian deity.

However, this move was rejected by the ancestral kings.

Later, he wanted to go to the Immortal Mountain to seek help from the Immortal Taoist.

That is the embodiment of faith left behind by the Immortal Emperor, and can be his most reliable protector.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Taoist was suppressed on the Holy Cliff by the Wu Shi Emperor. He tried to guide the remaining divine consciousness in the Immortal Mountain but failed.

Since his birth, the Crown Prince seemed to be in great glory on the surface, but he actually lived a very cautious life.

Faced with the provocation of the Holy Prince, he did not dare to fight back, and faced with the uncertainty of the human race, he did not dare to act rashly.

The deep memory that Li Zhi left on him in the holy land of Yao Chi has almost become the inner demon of the prince of heaven.

Whenever I think of him as an object being studied, I feel a sense of fear.

However, the prince was really angry today.

Not content with just stealing the Phoenix Blood Stone Furnace, they went so far as to completely destroy the statue he had carefully prepared.

That is a sacred tree that can be used to sacrifice forbidden weapons.

This was too much to bear. The prince of heaven decided to teach Li Zhi a lesson, otherwise no one would dare to mess with him, the son of God.

"Someone come here." The emperor's son stood up from the platform and shouted directly outside the palace.

"Son of God, what do you want me to do?" An ancient creature with six pairs of wings hurriedly ran in from outside the hall.

"The man who ruined my plans in the Central Region has appeared in the Northern Region. You take people to bring me his head." The Emperor's son ordered.

"Yes, Son of God. I will do it right away." The ancient creature agreed without any hesitation.

"Wait, go ask Oguli to go with you." Just as the ancient creature was about to leave, the prince suddenly stopped him.

"Son of God, Lady Oguli has just succeeded in her slashing path and is consolidating her cultivation. Will disturbing her now affect her practice?" The six pairs of winged ancient creatures said with some doubt.

"Tell Oguli that this Son of God asked her to go. After the mission is completed, I will reward her with three days of time to study the Emperor Chessboard. You may not be that person's opponent, but this Son of God will feel at ease with Oguli by your side."

The prince believes that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

He held in his hands a vast amount of immortal treasures left by the Immortal Emperor, enough to make the subordinates of the Eight Divine Generals work for him.

The matter of Li Zhi killing a group of subordinates of the Prince of Heaven in the Central Region has long been investigated.

They even got hold of Li Zhi's portrait.

Soon, Oguli led hundreds of ancient creatures and marched towards the Holy City in the Northern Territory.

But the prince suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

It seemed that a strange smiling face appeared in his mind, like a demon. The look it gave him was not the kind of admiration that the Eight Tribes looked at him with, nor was it the kind of fear that the human monks had when they met him, but a strange look as if looking at a chick.

Soon, that smiling face turned into Li Zhi's, which made the prince shudder for no reason.

Then he came to the trial ground prepared for him by the Immortal Emperor.

He planned to fight with the martial arts incarnation of the Immortal Emperor in order to erase the devilish smile from his mind.

Ever since he was born, what happened back then seemed to have turned into a nightmare. Only when he fought with the martial arts incarnation prepared for him by the Immortal Emperor could he believe in his own strength.

Only then can you temporarily overcome the fear from the depths of your soul.

Before he was born, his origin was already understood by a mysterious being.

That feeling is more terrifying than running naked on the street.

Li Zhi didn't know that his actions back then had left such a serious psychological shadow in the heart of the Crown Prince.

If he knew about this, he would probably write directly to the prince of heaven and ask him to bring the ancient divine scripture to see him.

As long as the Prince of Heaven is willing to pay the price of the ancient divine scripture, he can even accept being "defeated" by the Prince of Heaven.

He could even accompany the prince of heaven to act out a big drama and let the prince of heaven "kill" him in front of everyone to eliminate the demon in his heart. This is not impossible to discuss.

After all, the wealth controlled by the Crown Prince is even richer than the divine treasure house in the holy land.

Unfortunately, the prince never thought of making peace with Li Zhi and having a friendly exchange.

When Oguli led a large number of ancient creatures to the City of Gods, the news was transmitted to the City of Gods as soon as they entered the territory of the Holy State.

This caused many monks in the Divine City to be greatly frightened.

The territories of the major holy places also became lively, and the powerful people stationed there began to meet frequently.

I was afraid that the ancient creatures were coming to attack the city of gods.

Meng Zhang and his companions also received the news and immediately came to the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Divine City and reported the news to Li Zhi.

After Li Zhi got the news, he said to Meng Zhang and the others, "Stay in the Divine City and don't go out. Wait for me to come back."

"Master, do you want to go outside the Divine City alone to fight those ancient creatures? Isn't it too dangerous? It is said that those ancient creatures are led by a king." Meng Zhang said with some concern.

“Don’t worry, as long as the team is not led by a great king, I have nothing to fear.” After saying that, Li Zhi’s figure disappeared directly in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

At the same time, the Yao Chi Stone Archway and the Jiang Family Stone Archway were almost trampled down by people from various major sects in the Northern Territory.

After a Yao Chi elder of the highest level of power and a Jiang family elder of the highest level of power discussed, they decided to take the powerful people from various religions out of the city to meet with the followers of the Emperor's son.

Otherwise, if the foundations of various religions in the Divine City are coveted by ancient creatures in the future, will they give it up or not?

Fortunately, not many of the ancient kings have revived yet. Most of them are recovering their Taoism and magic power within their tribes.

After being sealed for such a long time, they would not be in their best condition as soon as they woke up.

After waking up, they will need some time to recover and adapt before they can unleash their powerful strength.

During the years of sealing, all functions in their bodies almost stagnated.

Their souls are kept immortal entirely by the energy within the divine source.

After breaking out of the seal of divine source, the stagnant body functions need time to recover.

Using divine power to seal oneself and traveling through the long river of time to reach the afterlife is not without cost.

Because the human body is a living whole from birth.

After being sealed with the divine source, this kind of "living" is artificially interrupted.

To continue the activity in the body is not as it seems on the surface that there is no effect on oneself.

But this effect is so subtle that it cannot be detected.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether there are any potential risks in sealing oneself with divine power.

This move was a forced act against the will of heaven, and it was a large-scale forced change of the destiny of heaven, allowing cultivators who were not strong enough to travel through the long river of time to experience the feeling of floating downstream in the long river of time.

It must have had some influence on the cause and effect of the world.

Because this goes against the natural development laws of heaven and earth.

However, neither ordinary creatures nor former emperors and kings have the ability to see what kind of cause and effect this action produced.

Perhaps, when the cause and effect accumulated to the point where they could destroy the heavens, they would have already disappeared in the long river of time.

When Li Zhi appeared in front of the group of ancient creatures, they were still thousands of miles away from the Divine City.

"Wulian Tianzun, are you the subordinates of the Emperor?"

Li Zhi appeared in front of those ancient creatures stepping on auspicious clouds like a true immortal, which really scared them.

"Damn Taoist priest, how dare you appear in front of us?"

When Oguli saw Li Zhi showing up in a swagger, she said in a murderous tone.

"Did the Emperor ask you to take my life?"

However, Li Zhi seemed not to feel the murderous intent emanating from those ancient creatures.

“You have offended the Son of God, and you still dare to be so presumptuous. If you come in, I will cut off your head and present it to the Son of God.” said the ancient creature with six pairs of wings.

But Li Zhi turned his head and looked in the direction of the Divine City, then said: "If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you can keep up with my speed."

With a "whoosh", Li Zhi flew towards the uninhabited area outside Shengzhou.

"Chase!" Oguli shouted directly.

Li Zhi did not fly at full speed, but instead kept those ancient creatures hanging fifty miles away.

Soon, everyone flew out of the Holy State and entered the depths of the desolate no-man's land.

The great men of various religions who had just rushed over from the City of God were all bewildered upon seeing this. Who had led away such a large number of ancient creatures?
"Should we go and see what's going on?" someone asked.

"Since that group of ancient creatures have left, let's go back. It is important to protect the Holy City." said a powerful person from a major sect in the Northern Territory.

Many people agreed with him, and then everyone returned to the city of God.

This temporarily formed powerful army was disbanded less than an hour after its establishment.

Only the mighty ones from Yao Chi Holy Land and Jiang Family did not return to the Divine City, but followed with a few mighty ones who wanted to find out the truth.
