Chapter 248 The Second Way to Immortality
The Great Xia Dynasty, Chaoyang City, is an ancient city that has existed for more than 200,000 years.

Although there is no ancestral dragon vein in the city, there are several top-grade dragon veins. After more than 200,000 years of evolution, this city has long been transformed into a supreme pure land for spiritual practice.

The monks living in this city can make three times as much progress in their practice as those in other places.

Moreover, the dragon veins in the city will breed a kind of purple dragon marrow that is beneficial to the cultivation of the Yuanshen. And because Chaoyang City is located in the hinterland of the Great Xia Dynasty, it does not have to endure the baptism of border wars, making this city a pure land for cultivation that the monks yearn for.

The entrance to the chaotic small world deduced by Li Zhi is near Chaoyang City.

The successive mayors of Chaoyang City were all members of the royal family of Daxia.

The current city lord is the twenty-seventh brother of the Great Xia Emperor, a veteran and powerful man who was promoted to the second level of immortal seven hundred years ago.

It's just that he is not a supremely powerful person, and his cultivation has not yet reached the 29th level of the immortal realm.

It would probably take dozens or even hundreds of years of practice to reach the state of being able to kill.

After Li Zhi paid the city entry tax, he temporarily settled down in the city.

Chaoyang City used to be the territory of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. After the collapse of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, it did not experience many wars.

Therefore, many historical sites in the city have been preserved.

"Boss Changshou, why did we come here? After I left home, I appeared directly in Chiyang Country. How could I have crossed such a long distance?"

The little Qilin did not understand the power of the space teleportation pattern.

A territory of only billions of miles can be crossed in the blink of an eye for the space patterns that are suspected to have been left by the emperor.

"If you want to go home, there are two ways. One is to return along the path you came out, and the other is to find the front door of your home. The first way is simple and convenient, but unfortunately I don't have such a strong ability to support me to open up a reverse space channel, so I can only choose the second way." Li Zhi explained patiently.

"If the front door of my house was here, wouldn't it have been found long ago?" asked the little Qilin beast puzzledly.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Don't think that people in the world are too smart. Sometimes, even when the door is right in front of them, they turn a blind eye."

Afterwards, after collecting some historical materials and conducting research in Chaoyang City, Li Zhi finally made a major discovery.

According to an ancient story, Emperor Yuhua had descended on the ancient city many times, and many times he appeared on the same mountain to watch the beautiful sunrise over the city.

Unfortunately, that mountain has now been transformed into a pure land for spiritual practice by the monks of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Outsiders are no longer allowed to climb the mountain to watch the beautiful sunrise.

However, that is only for ordinary cultivators. As Li Zhi is now a king, he will naturally not be stopped outside and unable to climb the mountain.

Even after he reached the top of the mountain, the monks of the Great Xia Dynasty did not notice his arrival.

His powerful Taoism almost gave him the ability to stand still without a shadow.

As long as he didn't want to be seen, he could just disappear from their sight.

While waiting for the sunrise on Guanri Peak, Li Zhi, who had nothing to do, carefully observed the layout of Chaoyang City.

Sure enough, no matter how magnificent the fairy city is, you will get bored of it after seeing it too much.

The fairy city that was shocking at first sight is now nothing special in the eyes of Li Zhi, who is at the king level.

As the monks’ cultivation becomes higher and higher, the auxiliary effect of the special terrain on the monks will become weaker and weaker.

After reaching the second level of immortality, most of the pure lands for cultivation in the world will lose their previous beneficial effects on cultivation.

Even a cultivator who is powerful enough can transform an ordinary place into a supreme pure land for cultivation by his presence.

This is the truth that is widely circulated in the spiritual world: "It is not the height of a mountain that makes it famous, and it is not the depth of a river that makes it magical because of the dragon living in it."

Of course, truly terrifying terrain can also have a huge impact on powerful cultivators, but such places are extremely rare in the entire world.

At least Chaoyang City is not among them.

As if it was homesick, the little Qilin became unusually quiet since it climbed up Guanyang Peak.

Lying quietly at Li Zhi's feet, motionless.

As the rising sun of a new day shone on Guanri Peak, Li Zhi immediately began to calculate.

After one stick of incense, Li Zhi calculated the result.

Then a cloud of auspiciousness rose from under Li Zhi's feet, and a cloud of mist also surrounded them, hiding the figures of him and the little Qilin.

On Guanri Peak, people who walked out of the room saw a white cloud flying towards the sun.

Finally, it disappeared directly in the sunlight.

The entrance to that chaotic little world was arranged so simply and cleverly.

The real portal was actually in the early morning sunlight.

When the sun rose completely into the sky, Li Zhi and the little Qilin had already appeared in the chaotic little world where it was born.

In this small world, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the vegetation is lush, and the spiritual energy is abundant.

It has given birth to a variety of exotic flowers and plants, thousand-year-old medicines can be seen everywhere, and precious spiritual fruit trees are all available.

There are also many ancient species with peculiar bloodlines.

But without exception, none of them changed into human form and maintained their original form in life.

Moreover, they only instinctively absorb and exhale the essence of heaven and earth, and do not practice any specific methods.

The aura of some ancient alien species is comparable to that of the second-level immortals of the human race, but they still maintain the lifestyle of wild beasts.

The entire small world is only ten thousand miles in radius.

What surprised Li Zhi the most was that the laws of heaven and earth in this small world were slightly different from those outside.

A system similar to the Life Forbidden Zone, which has independent laws of heaven and earth.

Moreover, the laws of the universe are extremely clear. If you practice here, even if you have ordinary aptitude, you can quickly grow to the level of a second-class immortal.

After returning to this comfortable environment, the little Qilin became visibly excited.

Four ochre-colored clouds appeared under his feet, and then began to roam freely over the earth.

However, Li Zhi began to look for traces of buildings or caves here.

The small world with a radius of ten thousand miles was quickly clearly reflected in Li Zhi's mind under the scanning of the king's divine consciousness.

There are several special places where the aura of all laws is very strong.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth were gestating something, so Li Zhi rushed over directly.

It was a cave, but unfortunately there was no living thing inside. However, there was a fossilized dragon claw.

Afterwards, in seven or eight places where the aura of the Ten Thousand Dao Laws was strong, Li Zhi discovered the petrified parts of the ancient alien species.

At this moment, the little Qilin beast that had been walking around the house suddenly ran up to Li Zhi and said aggrievedly: "Boss Changshou, I was bullied, you have to avenge me."

Then, it pulled Li Zhi to the place where it was born.

At this time, the place had been occupied by a white-feathered peacock.

Seeing that the little Qilin had found help, the white-feathered peacock immediately revealed a fierce murderous intent. "Haha, white peacock, you didn't expect that there is a boss behind me." The little Qilin shouted at the white peacock with a proud face.

"Two-legged beast, you have the aura of an alien world." The white peacock ignored the crazy little Qilin and stared at Li Zhi with murderous eyes.

"Is there a Buddhist scripture cave in this world?" Li Zhi seemed not to notice the murderous aura on it, and asked directly.

"Earth Qilin, you actually teamed up with outsiders to snatch the treasures of the fairy cave." The white peacock stared at the Qilin and roared, then stretched out his peacock claws, intending to tear the Qilin into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately had a silver dragon whisk in his hand. He waved the whisk lightly, and the three thousand whisk strands turned into countless silver dragons, which tied up the white peacock.

Then Li Zhi used his spiritual power to investigate the white peacock's body, and found that it was indeed the same as the Qilin, belonging to the original demon clan.

All the laws of heaven and earth that he had comprehended were melted into his physical body. Even his primordial spirit became one with his physical body and did not condense separately.

In other words, the flesh and blood of the white peacock are filled with the power of laws.

This is very similar to the physical body of a saint.

One drop of blood from a saint can kill a powerful person. The reason why their blood is so powerful is because the laws of the saintly way have been integrated into their flesh and blood.

In addition to the soul, flesh and blood also become the carriers of the laws.

What is powerful is not the blood of the saint, but the holy laws that are integrated into the blood.

Now that his cultivation has reached the king level, the great principles that Li Zhi has comprehended have begun to gradually integrate into his soul and body.

This is also the reason why strange semi-saint strongmen appear in the king realm.

The physical body is completely integrated with the laws of the Dao, and there is no distinction between the two. After cultivating to perfection and surviving the thunder tribulation, one can become a semi-saint.

If the soul can survive the thunder tribulation of becoming a saint, then he is a true saint.

However, the difficulty of making the soul compatible with the laws is much greater than the difficulty of making the laws compatible with flesh and blood.

Therefore, it is easy to become a semi-saint, but it is not easy to become a saint.

At the king level, one not only cultivates the laws of the Dao, but more importantly, integrates one's own laws of the Dao into one's flesh, blood, and soul.

The first immortal cultivates the soul, and the second immortal unlocks the potential of the human body.

When one reaches the third level of the Immortal King, he does not evolve the secrets of the human body, but instead integrates his own great laws into his own spirit and body.

This is the path of cultivation for most of the three immortal kings.

Logically speaking, the two great immortals can also integrate the great principles they have cultivated into their flesh and blood and souls to strengthen themselves.

But in fact, the second great immortal could not do it, because the Tao that the second great immortal realized was still mixed with the laws of heaven and earth, and it was not completely his own law.

If the second great immortal dares to try to integrate the laws of the Dao into his flesh and blood, the final result can only be direct transformation into the Dao.

Only through the Dao of Cutting can one cut out the Dao laws that are truly in tune with one's own mind, and only then can one cut off the part of one's own Dao that belongs to the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth.

In short, the great Dao laws that one cultivates after the three slashes of the immortal path are the great Dao laws that belong completely to the cultivator himself.

The stronger the path you carve out in this step, the higher your future achievements will be.

This is also the reason why many cultivators fall in the process of beheading.

The cultivation method of the original demon clan is just like the cultivation method of the last era. From the initial stage of cultivation, they begin to integrate the fragments of the laws they have comprehended into their flesh and blood. There is no threshold of the Three Immortal Slashes of the Five Secret Realms.

By observing the situation of the white peacock, Li Zhi suddenly thought that the holy spirit nurtured by heaven and earth seemed to be of the same kind.

The laws of the great way are directly nurtured within the body of the Holy Spirit.

When the laws of the Great Dao are fully mature, the Holy Spirit will be fully developed. Then, when this kind of Holy Spirit is born, its practice of Dao will be equivalent to another kind of enlightened existence.

The perfect laws of the Great Dao have long been integrated into their flesh and blood and their spirits, so the Holy Spirit does not need to embark on the path of cultivation to open up the five secret realms.

As Li Zhi fell into deep thought, the white peacock tied up by the silver dragon whisk finally showed a look of fear.

"Take me to the Immortal Pregnancy Cave." Li Zhi had already observed the memory of the White Peacock and naturally knew that there was a mysterious Immortal Pregnancy Cave in this world.

The Yunxian Cave, as the name suggests, is a cave that can give birth to fairies.

"Kill me, I won't take you there." Although Bai Kongque was frightened, he had a strong character and refused to succumb to Li Zhi's tyranny.

Li Zhi didn't waste any time talking to it. He suppressed it directly and then searched for relevant memories in its mind.

After finding what he wanted, Li Zhi threw the unconscious white peacock directly to the ground.

He did not kill the other person unreasonably.

On the contrary, after the white peacock was thrown to the ground by Li Zhi, the little Qilin jumped directly onto the back of the white peacock and started jumping around.

"I let you bully me. I let you bully me. I'll step on you. I'll step on you. I'll step on you."

The white peacock's originally pure white feathers were trampled into a charred black by the little Qilin.

"Okay, Xiao Huang, now that we've vented our anger, it's time for us to go." Li Zhi shouted at the little Qilin beast.

"Xiao Huang?" The Qilin was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Huang is the name of a dog. I am not called Xiao Huang. I am the great Qilin. Do you know Qilin? It is a natural auspicious animal and the descendant of a fairy."

"Then just call you Xiaorui." Li Zhi changed its name without thinking.

The little Qilin beast was somewhat at a loss and said, "Can the name be changed casually?"

Li Zhi asked back: "Who told you that your name cannot be changed?"

The little Qilin said: "But we all have unique names since we were born."

Then the little Qilin took Li Zhi to the cave where it was born.

Li Zhi saw a mysterious pattern inside that no longer had any Taoist fluctuations.

It seemed that all the laws of heaven and earth were reshaped by the mysterious pattern before being injected into the placenta of the unicorn.

Li Zhi instantly remembered the stone carvings that seemed to be randomly graffitied that he had seen in other places before.

I also understood that all the stone carvings at that time contained mysterious Taoist patterns.

It’s just that after the contents of the placenta are fully developed, they become ineffective and look like ordinary stone carvings.

Li Zhi was even more looking forward to the things in the Yunxian Cave.

Afterwards, he brought the little Qilin to the Immortal Cave deep in the small world.

"It has been difficult to achieve immortality since ancient times, and it is even more difficult to cultivate the Tao today. The holy law teaches immortality, and I want to become a holy spirit."

“The Holy Spirit, the greatest miracle of life in heaven and earth.”

“Holy Spirits should not exist in this incomplete universe, but they exist between heaven and earth. The Holy Spirits must have hidden the true secret of immortality.”

These are a few words that Li Zhi saw on the stone wall outside the Yunxian Cave. The words are filled with a strong desire for immortality.

Even after eons, that emotion is still palpable.
