Chapter 250 Emperor Yuhua's Experimental Notes

At the bottom of the fairy cliff, there is a fairy cave.

There was neither flickering light nor the mysterious rhyme of Tao emanating.

It seems like just an ordinary cave.

But as soon as he entered, Li Zhi felt its extraordinaryness, as if he had walked into a corridor of time and space. Various pictures of the Holy Spirit were engraved on the walls of the cave.

There are both human-shaped holy spirits born from the nine-orifice stone men, and animal-shaped holy spirits that resemble various fairy beasts, such as stone tigers, stone phoenixes, stone dragons, and so on.

Among the holy spirits represented in those engravings, some were known to Li Zhi, while others were not.

But Li Zhi didn’t know most of them.

It was also the first time that Li Zhi knew that there were so many types of holy spirits, almost as many as the living beings in the world.

In addition to the different types of holy spirits, the murals also depict the terrain that gave birth to them.

Some of the terrain has a great overlap with the mountains and rivers where Li Zhi had previously discovered the caves containing incomplete fossils.

At the same time, it also confirmed Li Zhi's guess.

The mountains, rivers and landforms in this world have been transformed by artificial factors and are not their original appearance.

However, the person who transformed them is suspected to be Emperor Yuhua, which is why there seems to be no trace of artificial carving. This can explain why in this small world of only ten thousand miles, there are so many terrifying terrains that defy the will of heaven and earth.

Even the origin of this apparently young chaotic little world had been completely consumed by the created terrain.

After walking through the long corridor of the cave, Li Zhi found two closed stone doors in the deepest part of the cave.

There is a pattern faintly visible on the stone gate, and even after hundreds of thousands of years, the stone gate still has a feeling of being indestructible.

The Yuhua Divine Dynasty was destroyed by the Henren Emperor more than 200,000 years ago.

However, the birth of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty dates back a long time ago.

The specific period of Emperor Yuhua's reign was almost three hundred thousand years ago.

The time period is too long ago, and nowadays few people can describe in detail the time when Emperor Yuhua attained enlightenment.

Perhaps there are records in the forbidden zone of life.

However, the records from the outside world are varied and contain many errors and omissions.

Even the "Examination of Emperors of All Dynasties" compiled by the powerful Qi Shifu only gave an approximate year.

Fortunately, the origin of this chaotic little world has been almost consumed, and the Dao patterns of the former great emperor have become no longer unbreakable under the passage of time.

After observing for a while, Li Zhi took out the Luoyang shovel and began to dig a cave on the rock wall next to the stone gate.

"Boss Changshou, why don't you just break open these two stone doors?"

The little Qilin beast following him looked at Li Zhi who was going the long way instead of doing something near him and actually dug a hole inside the mountain, his eyes full of confusion.

After several days of observation, the little Qilin found that Li Zhi really had no intention of blaming it, so it became lively again, just like a child who would quickly forget unpleasant things.

"These two stone doors have undergone special rituals and are not so easy to open. On the contrary, the surrounding mountains seem indestructible, but in fact the power of the Taoist barrier inside is the weakest." Li Zhi explained to the little Qilin while digging a hole in the rock.

The little Qilin blinked its bright big eyes, still unable to understand what Li Zhi had done.

Then it ran to the two stone doors and pushed them hard.

As the divine power in its body exploded, the two stone doors instantly flashed with mysterious light.

But just when Li Zhi thought that it would be blown away by the mysterious light, the shadow of a holy spirit Qilin immediately appeared behind the little Qilin.

Then the light on the stone door instantly dimmed, and after a rumbling sound, the two stone doors were pushed open by the little Qilin beast.

"Is this okay?"

Li Zhi looked at the two stone doors that were pushed open in surprise. He had tried to push the stone doors open before, but even with the power of a king in his body, he could not shake the two stone doors at all.

Soon, Li Zhi understood the reason.

When the little Qilin was pushing the stone gate with all its strength, the phantom of the Holy Spirit Qilin that appeared behind it was the key.

It seemed to have triggered the switch on the stone door.

"Boss Changshou, you go first."

The little Qilin was attracted by the bright light behind the stone gate, but it did not run in rashly. Instead, it invited Li Zhi to go in first.

Li Zhi didn't hesitate and walked straight into the two stone doors.

Then it saw piece after piece of divine source neatly stacked in a spacious cave hall.

Each piece of divine source is of standard cubic size.

Inside those divine sources, there are also various kinds of broken bodies sealed, including palms, arms, animal legs, animal horns, and so on.

Li Zhi counted them carefully and found that there were a total of 233 divine sources in the cave hall.

And there is no empty space inside the divine source.

After carefully observing the things sealed in the Divine Source, it was discovered that those incomplete bodies were from different kinds of holy spirits, and some of the bodies even had stone parts.

However, because they were sealed by the divine source, the blood on all the remaining limbs remained active.

Moreover, Li Zhi discovered that the remnants of the Holy Spirit sealed within the weakest piece of the divine source exuded a kingly aura.

Most of the stumps are limbs taken from Holy Spirits at the level of Saints to Great Saints.

Moreover, there are three pieces of divine source that are the most special. They do not contain formed stumps, but whole pieces of flesh and blood. The aura they emit is extremely terrifying.

There is even a layer of sealing Dao pattern engraved on the divine source.

It is suspected to be the flesh and blood cut off from a quasi-emperor level holy spirit.

The little Qilin looked at the piece of flesh and blood with scales and showed a look of desire, as if eating that piece of flesh and blood would be of great benefit to its cultivation.

However, the aura from that piece of flesh and blood was so terrifying that it dared not approach.

This is simply a museum of the Holy Spirit, and also an astonishing treasure.

Li Zhi opened his heavenly eyes to look at the living remains of the Holy Spirit that were sealed in the divine source, and saw some mysterious avenue runes flashing on them.

"Sure enough, Emperor Yuhua activated the original Dao principle in the Holy Spirit's body."

In Li Zhi's view, these things are simply magical tools that assist in enlightenment.

Then, Li Zhi took out the Hundred Herbs Map and collected all the divine source blocks in the cave hall.

In the eyes of the emperor, these things sealed by the divine source are probably just ordinary collectibles of no value.

But in Li Zhi's eyes, it is a supreme treasure that is worth a fortune.

After taking away those divine source blocks, the cave hall immediately became spacious.

The little Qilin kept searching around the cave hall, and soon it found a hidden door.

"Boss Changshou, there is a hidden cave hall here." After the little Qilin made the discovery, he shouted directly at Li Zhi.

Then Li Zhi stopped in front of a stone wall with vague dragon and phoenix patterns.

"Renshou, please step back behind me first." After observing for a moment, Li Zhi said to the little Qilin.

The little Qilin ran behind Li Zhi in a flash, and stretched out its neck to watch Li Zhi's operation. Li Zhi took out the Luoyang shovel again and began to make a hole in the stone wall.

This time there were no unexpected situations. Li Zhi spent most of the day to finally open a one-meter-high gap on the rock wall full of Taoist patterns.

Then he got in.

Inside is a cave hall which is slightly smaller than the one outside, and is arranged like a monk's study.

In the southeast corner of the cave hall, there is a jade bed covered with rotten cloth and exuding a chaotic atmosphere.

It seems to be the bed where Emperor Yuhua rested here in the past.

As for other places, apart from some ordinary study supplies that have decayed, the only place that is relatively well preserved is a bookshelf carved out of the rock wall.

In the grids of the bookshelf, there are volumes of books, including paper books, animal skin books, metal books, jade books, and books made of several different materials.

However, those books were sealed by a Taoist barrier that still exuded an immortal aura.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand and tried once, but failed to open the barriers.

The little Qilin suggested, "Master Changshou, you can dig a hole in the stone at the back, go around to the back and take those books out of the bookshelf."

Li Zhi observed the strength distribution of the barrier and found that it was just as the little Qilin said, there was not much aura of the sealing barrier behind it.

Just like the cabinets we buy in our daily life, the cabinet doors are relatively sturdy, but the back panel against the wall is very thin.

Then, Li Zhi, like a diligent digger, began to take out the books in a roundabout way.

Three days later, Li Zhi took out all the books.

Then he sat on the jade bed that was suspected to be where Emperor Yuhua had slept in the past and began to study the contents of the book.

The contents of most of the books record the analysis and research of various holy spirits, and a few books even record the innate supernatural powers possessed by the holy spirits.

Emperor Yuhua even deduced various methods of cultivating those innate magical powers based on their acquired abilities.

After Li Zhi had roughly read those books, he felt that he had gained a lot and his horizons had been greatly broadened.

I even have some understanding of the original nature of Taoism.

What made Li Zhi most happy was that he saw in those books the method of transforming flesh and blood into holy spirits that was first created by Emperor Yuhua.

With the help of places with special natural forces and luck, monks can turn their flesh and blood bodies into stone.

Complete the first step of the Holy Spirit.

At the same time, he transformed the great principles that he had cultivated before into Dao seeds, which were seeded into his petrified flesh and blood.

When the petrified body is nurtured into a holy spirit by the power of heaven and earth, the seeds of the Tao planted before will grow into an innate great way.

The quality of the avenue has been improved on the basis of the past.

According to the records in the notes, the innate great way that was born in this process is a great way that transcends the laws of the imperial way, and may eventually transform into a great way law that can rival the laws of the immortal way.

Of course, this is Emperor Yuhua's deduction and has not been verified.

However, the method of turning flesh and blood into stone has been verified by Emperor Yuhua and is a feasible path.

After his flesh and blood turned to stone, the monk was in a state similar to being sealed by a divine source.

When all the flesh and blood on the body is completely petrified, the true soul will be trapped within the petrified body.

Unlike other cultivators, their true spirits will not dissipate directly after they die of old age.

"Sure enough, in this world, an emperor who doesn't study the method of immortality is not a qualified emperor. Emperor Yuhua is undoubtedly at the forefront of many emperors and has gone much further on the road to immortality than most of the forbidden area supreme beings."

After carefully reading the research materials left by Emperor Yuhua, Li Zhi expressed such emotion.

The method of longevity by incarnating as the Holy Spirit is already considered a mature method of longevity.

It is even better than taking the elixir of immortality and living a second life.

After all, if one takes the elixir of immortality and lives a second life, the imperial laws practiced in the first life will not be changed.

And after the incarnation of the Holy Spirit is born in the second life, when the Great Perfection is born, he can be directly compared with those supreme beings who have cut themselves in the forbidden zone of life. If he can prove the Tao again, their royal laws will be like the Holy Body Emperor, directly surpassing ordinary emperors and leaping to the level of Heavenly Emperor.

This method of longevity is undoubtedly much more clever than cutting oneself with a sword, sealing oneself with the immortal source, and then sleeping in the forbidden zone of life.

It can almost allow the former emperors and kings to regain the pinnacle of imperial destiny in this lifetime.

If the timing is right, it will bring unimaginable benefits to your journey to becoming an immortal.

Apart from those notes, there was nothing else of value in the Immortal-Born Cave.

Emperor Yuhua did not leave any ancient scriptures on cultivation here, nor did he leave any other insights on cultivation.

It seems that this is just the place where Emperor Yuhua conducts experiments on petrifying flesh and blood.

However, Emperor Yuhua left behind a method of deducing how the Holy Spirit who was born prematurely can improve his realm through acquired efforts in cultivation.

Li Zhi felt that he could create an ancient scripture of the Holy Spirit based on that method, which was suitable for the Qilin beast to practice.

Of course, with Li Zhi’s current level of cultivation, he is unable to create that kind of ancient scripture.

After leaving the Yunxian Cave, Li Zhi planned to leave this world.

The little Qilin looked back every few steps at the world that gave birth to it, with a hint of reluctance in its eyes.

"Boss Changshou, can I go home and stay for a few days before leaving?" The little Qilin asked Li Zhi.

Hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that there was actually a great fortune in this small world that he had not obtained.

Although those artificially arranged terrains have lost the ability to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, their layout cannot be missed.

Li Zhi, who has inherited the "Book of Earth", can replicate the natural terrain in the outside world by transforming the course of mountains, rivers and streams.

Although the terrain he replicated could not be as natural as the one created by the Great Emperor, practicing in that kind of created terrain would definitely have great benefits.

At least the difficulty of enlightenment will become simple.

Afterwards, the little Qilin returned to the valley where it was born, and Li Zhi began to copy the detailed structure of those special terrains.

“Boss Changshou, can you refine my home into a cave-heaven magic weapon so that I can carry it with me.”

After living in the valley for a few days, the little Qilin suddenly found Li Zhi and wanted him to move away from the valley.

This reminded Li Zhi.

He is already the king. Instead of working hard to copy the terrain there, it is better to directly cut off those special terrains from this chaotic little world.

He did what he said, and in the end Li Zhi dug away almost one tenth of the land in this small world.

Fortunately, he had the Hundred Herbs Map in his hand, so he was not worried about having no place to store those mountains, rivers and land.

Watching the disappearing backs of Li Zhi and the little Qilin, all the ancient alien species living in this chaotic little world felt as if they had been pardoned.

The god of plague was finally sent away.

Although Li Zhi did not deliberately hunt and kill those ancient alien species, quite a few of them died because of him.

Especially outside the Immortal-bearing Cave, the terrifying murderous intent released by Li Zhi directly reduced the number of ancient alien species in this world by one tenth.
