Chapter 251: Establishing a Dojo

Chaoyang City is filled with dragon energy, purple air, beautiful mountains and rivers, and clusters of flowers.

After several months, Li Zhi and the little Qilin appeared in the city again, without causing any ripples.

They come quietly and leave quietly, just like a drop of water in the ocean, coming and going without a trace.

Chaoyang City is as peaceful and tranquil as ever, and the common people in the city live in health, happiness and joy.

Similar scenes are played out in almost all the ancient cities in Zhongzhou. Except for those who enter the city for the first time, no one would think that there is anything special about this kind of life.

After strolling around the street, Li Zhi brought the little Qilin to a very busy restaurant in the city.

When the little Qilin saw that they were going to have a feast, he immediately said to Li Zhi happily: "I want to eat charcoal grilled beef tongue, steamed dragon tendons, hot and sour dragon fish soup, honey phoenix wings..."

"The things you want to eat don't seem to be available in this restaurant." Looking at the little Qilin beast saying what it wanted to eat as if it was reading a menu, Li Zhi ruthlessly interrupted its fantasy.

"No, I just want to eat." The little Qilin pulled Li Zhi's clothes pitifully and began to act coquettishly.

"It's not up to me to decide. What you want to eat depends on what's in the restaurant. This is not the sacred city in the Northern Territory, where all the delicacies from all over the world are gathered." Li Zhi said to the little Qilin with a smile.

"Why? Can you eat whatever you want when you go to the Northern Divine City?" Although Li Zhi has instilled a lot of common sense into the little Qilin, knowledge gained from books is superficial and can only be truly understood through personal experience.

Before Li Zhi could explain to the little Qilin the difference between a commercial city and a cultivation city.

A very beautiful mortal girl blocked their way in front of the restaurant door.

"Master, please stay. We do not allow spirit animals to enter this building. If you want to go there for dinner, you can temporarily leave your spirit animal in the spirit animal pen. We will prepare the best fodder for it."

"Haha, do you still want to eat? You are not allowed to enter." Li Zhi laughed immediately after hearing that.

"Are you blind? I am a Qilin, a Qilin, a Qilin. I am not some low-level spiritual beast." The little Qilin immediately jumped up and flew in front of the girl, starting a crazy attack.

The reaction of the Qilin beast frightened the girl. She never expected that a Qilin beast only about one foot tall would have such a violent temper.

"Master, I'm really sorry. Ling'er is new here and isn't familiar with the rules yet." After seeing this scene, a waiter at the Shenqiao realm hurriedly ran out of the restaurant, frantically apologizing and explaining to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi just smiled and didn't make things difficult for the girl. Then he walked into the restaurant with the little Qilin.

The girl standing outside the gate had a wronged look on her face, and complained to the Shenqiao-level clerk: "They are bullying me. I just reminded them of the store's rules, and that dog jumped up and scolded me."

"Ling'er, that is a Qilin beast, not a local dog. Even though it is very small now, when it grows up, it will probably be more powerful than our shopkeeper. You have just arrived at the restaurant and you are still inexperienced in receiving those monks. You should talk less and do more in the future. That Taoist is obviously a master. It's a pity that he doesn't bother with you, otherwise you will most likely lose your life." The waiter at the Shenqiao realm persuaded earnestly.

"I quit. You are all bullying me. I just can't practice, but why don't I even have the right to speak?" The girl angrily threw the things in her hands away.

"Ling'er, listen to my advice. In this world, if you can't practice cultivation, you really have no right to speak. Your father asked me to take care of you, not so that you can act like a spoiled brat. Instead, he wants you to be noticed by a master who passes by and then be taken home. Giving birth to a child who can practice cultivation in the future is your life. Maybe when your child has a promising future, he will be able to help you embark on the path of cultivation." The guy said the cruelest words to the girl who was full of beautiful fantasies.

"Brother Ximen, are we mortals who cannot practice cultivation really inferior to others?" The girl asked with a confused look on her face after being silent for a moment.

"Maybe. There has never been any fairness in this world. Without power, aren't you inferior to others? Look, although I can practice, don't I still have to run errands in the restaurant?" The waiter also looked confused.

Although they had already entered the restaurant, Li Zhi could still clearly hear their conversation.

"Fairness? Haha. Perhaps only mortals with short lifespans have not given up the pursuit of fairness." Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As for the little Qilin, it seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and directly asked the waiter to serve all the special dishes in the restaurant.

Looking at the carefree little Qilin, it probably never worried about whether it was treated unfairly by following Li Zhi.

Li Zhi came to this most lively restaurant not only to eat, but also to listen to what everyone is talking about recently.

Sure enough, Li Zhi heard what he wanted from those customers.

Just last month, Saint Body Ye Fan reappeared in Nanling after twelve years, and then directly led the barbarian troops to destroy an ancient family in Beiyuan.

It shocked the five major regions of the world.

It is said that recently Saint Body Ye Fan has begun to challenge the ancient royal family of the Northern Territory, and has even killed many ancient creatures.

Regarding the Eucharistic act, some people fully support it, some are worried, and some even harbor resentment.

"If Ye Fan comes back, the world will be in chaos."

After listening to those people's discussions, this thought suddenly arose in Li Zhi's mind.

It has to be said that Ye Fan is a Spark with a nuclear bomb. As soon as he came back, he directly ignited the relationship between the ancient tribes and the human race, which were still in the stage of mutual testing.

Make what happened before seem like a small fight.

For example, the Southern Demon went to the Northern Territory alone and killed several masters from the Original Lake.

For example, the conflict between the Heavenly Prince and the Holy Prince in the Taikoo clan.

For example, which of the geniuses in the Qi Shi Mansion will get the three places to go outside the domain.

All the things that everyone used to talk about with great relish now seem boring.

As for Ye Fan's friends being hunted down and several of the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Territory being killed in the battle, in the eyes of the people of the world, those were all trivial matters and no one was even interested in talking about them.

But as soon as the Holy Body Ye Fan came back, the trivial matter of that year immediately became a major event that could shock the world.

It can only be said that the protagonist is always able to magnify insignificant little things into major events that attract attention from all sides.

Li Zhi listened to the gossip with great interest, and the little Qilin ate voraciously.

A banquet for one person cost Li Zhi more than a thousand kilograms of pure source.

After eating, the little Qilin asked, "Boss Changshou, where are we going next?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi said, "Let's go to the East Desert."

The little Qilin asked, "What are we going to do in the East Desert? Are there any delicious foods there?"

Li Zhi said: "Go to the East Desert and build a Taoist temple."

"What is a dojo?" asked the little Qilin curiously.

"A dojo is a place for practicing Taoism. Living in it, one nourishes the body, strengthens the spirit, and practices the Tao." A determined look appeared in Li Zhi's eyes.

In the past, Li Zhi did not build a Taoist temple, and he even had no fixed place to live. On the one hand, it was because his cultivation was not enough, and on the other hand, he did not have enough strength to suppress the trend of heaven and earth in the Taoist temple.

Being a wandering cultivator is only suitable when one's cultivation is still at a low level. Now that Li Zhi has successfully achieved the Dao, it is no longer suitable for him to be a wandering cultivator.

If a mortal does not have a fixed residence, his soul will be wandering and homeless.

If a monk does not have a fixed temple, his practice life will be incomplete.

Even a strong person at the level of a great emperor would establish a dojo.

Even the Wu Shi Emperor and the Hen Ren Emperor, who did not leave any inheritance outside, had established temples in the past.

The heaven and earth are changing, and all things are reviving. Without a fixed Taoist temple, it is difficult to capture the subtle changes in the heaven and earth's myriad ways with only a temporary cave.

A dojo is not only a place to live, but also a place to perform the Dao.

Dojo, dojo, the Dao in front of the field is enough to show which one is more important.

After leaving Chaoyang City, Li Zhi directly opened the domain gate and came to the Northern Domain Divine City.

Since he was going to build a Taoist temple, the four maids he had previously left in the Divine City no longer had to live in the Yao Chi territory.

"Is this the legendary city of gods? It's so beautiful."

After entering the divine city, the little Qilin looked around curiously.

The unique Taoist charm it exudes also attracted many monks to stop and watch.

"The blood of that Qilin beast is very pure. Is it the descendant of Huolin Cave?"

"It shouldn't be an ancient creature. Look at it following that Taoist priest. It seems to be a spiritual beast raised by that Taoist priest."

"Who is that Taoist? I seem to have seen him somewhere before?"

"I can't even see his true face. This person must be very advanced in Taoism."

Along the way, people kept pointing and talking at Li Zhi and the little Qilin, making the little Qilin become restrained.

"Boss Changshou, the cultivators here are so perverted. Why do they attract so much attention just by walking on the road?" The little Qilin seemed to have never experienced this kind of scene of being watched by people, but Li Zhi didn't think it was a big deal.

As the ancestral kings of the ancient tribes gradually revived, the nerves of the human cultivators in various parts of the Northern Territory have become extremely tense.

Any strong stranger who appears in the city of gods will attract their attention.

Moreover, Li Zhi also saw many ancient creatures in the divine city.

It seems that the younger generation of the Taigu tribe has ended their hibernation and officially started going out.

The last time I came to the Divine City, there were not so many ancient creatures in the Divine City.

Li Zhi had no hatred or affinity for those ancient creatures. In Li Zhi's opinion, they were a group of races that did not dare to face the test of cruel wind and waves. Although they had preserved some strength until now with the divine source fluid, it was not worth putting too much thought on these races that were eliminated by the times.

As the environment of heaven and earth became harsh, they chose to seal off the entire clan, and thus lost the qualification to dominate the rise and fall of the world.

The human race and the demon race have withstood the cruel test of the changes in the Big Dipper's heaven and earth at the end of the ancient times, and have achieved their current status, which cannot be shaken by the ancestral kings who crawled out from the source of gods.

In the ancient times, among the great emperors born among the human race, almost no one thought that the ancient creatures sleeping in the Northern Territory would become a trouble to the human race after they were revived.

Otherwise, the human emperor would have wiped them out with one blow.

Their concealed formation could not escape the eyes of a powerful emperor.

The ancient creatures may seem arrogant, but in fact they are nothing to worry about.

No matter which force possesses ultimate weapons, once their foundation is revealed, they will be able to compete with the ancient royal family.

Therefore, Li Zhi was not worried at all about those seemingly arrogant ancient creatures.

In fact, as long as Gai Jiuyou is willing, he can make all the ancient royal families shut up.

Nowadays, the saints of the human race do not show themselves in the world, only to train the younger generation of the human race.

As for the younger generation who have the hope of attaining enlightenment, almost all the saints of the human race will keep an eye on them in secret to prevent them from being hunted by the ancient ancestor kings.

After entering the divine city, Li Zhi did not wander around, but brought the little Qilin directly to the Yaochi Stone Archway.

However, after more than two years of not seeing each other, Meng Zhang and Hong Ye's cultivation has already reached the level of half-step great power.

"Master, you are back."

When the four girls saw Li Zhi suddenly appear in front of them, they immediately surrounded him.

"Go away, all of you goblins, let me, the longevity boss, go away quickly." When the little Qilin saw Li Zhi being pulled by four maids, it immediately ran to them and stepped on their toes, trying to drive them away from Li Zhi.

"Ouch." The four girls whose toes were stepped on immediately felt a piercing pain.

Then he looked down and saw a small Qilin beast, only about one foot tall, jumping there.

"Master, is this the spirit beast you brought back? It looks quite cute." After seeing the mighty and majestic Qilin, Xia Li forgot the pain in his toes and immediately picked up the Qilin to play with it.

"Female hooligan, you are molesting me." The little Qilin beast that was picked up by Xia Li immediately let out a loud scream.

"Master, what happened to your spirit beast..." Xia Li said with an embarrassed look on his face after letting go of the little Qilin.

"It is the guardian beast of the mountain that I brought back. You must get along well with it from now on. Go and say goodbye to Elder Yao Chi, and follow me to the Southern Region to establish a Taoist temple." Li Zhi said directly without any intention of chatting.

When they heard that Li Zhi was going to establish a Taoist temple, the four maids immediately became excited, even though the disciples of the Yao Chi Holy Land treated them very well.

But I still feel a little uncomfortable living under someone else's roof.

So in the past two years they have been practicing very hard and have hardly gone out to play.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Zhang said, "Master, the famous sacred mountains and immortal veins in the Southern Region have been occupied by major sects. Where do you want to build a Taoist temple in the Southern Region?"

A Taoist temple cannot be established anywhere. One needs to choose a place that can gather the power of heaven and earth so that it can play an auxiliary role for the monks living in it. Otherwise, choosing a location randomly may lead to a counterproductive effect.

Li Zhi said: "When the time comes, you will know."

Li Zhi had already made up his mind about the location of the Taoist temple, and he never thought of attacking that sect and taking over its position.

All the laws of heaven and earth are reviving, and this world is about to come into contact with a piece of fairyland fragment.

Before the two worlds come into contact, there will definitely be slight displacements and changes in the myriad ways of heaven and earth, and the level of activity in the myriad ways of heaven and earth will be incomparable to other places.

If you can seize the opportunity of this great change, you will gain immeasurable benefits for your practice.

Therefore, Li Zhi planned to build the Taoist temple in the territory of Yan State not far away from the ancient forbidden area.

Because the road to becoming an immortal in the future will open above the ancient forbidden area.

Soon, the Yao Chi elder who was guarding the Yao Chi Stone Archway also heard that Li Zhi had returned, and hurried over to see him.

"Senior Tong, how are you?" Li Zhi greeted the Yao Chi elder.

"Changshou, you actually killed the Dao?" Elder Tong of Yao Chi and Li Zhi were old acquaintances. After seeing the unpredictable power of a king from Li Zhi, he looked at him in shock.

"I succeeded by luck." Li Zhi said with a smile. He had no intention of hiding his cultivation from the elder of Yaochi Holy Land. The elder was not the kind of loudmouth who would advertise his cultivation everywhere.

"Successful slashing of Dao is not a matter of luck. If Yao'er knew that you have succeeded in slashing Dao, she would probably be anxious." Elder Tong of Yao Chi said with a smile, and then sighed and said: "It's really a generation of new people replacing the old ones. Even Xiao Changshou, who was not even as tall as my shoulder back then, has now slashed Dao and become a king. It seems that I can't refuse to admit my age."

Elder Tong met Li Zhi when she first came to Yaochi Stone Archway.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, and her cultivation has only improved by two small realms, from the middle stage of the second great immortal to the late stage of the second great immortal.

Even so, it gave her hope of achieving success in the future.

In the past, if she wanted to advance to a higher level, she would have to spend decades honing her skills.

Now that the world has changed, it has become much easier to practice at the second level of Immortal, so she can shorten the time used to improve each small realm to about ten years.

However, after her cultivation reached the seventh level of the Second Immortal Realm, she felt that the difficulty of cultivation had increased again. She was afraid that it would take another hundred years of hard practice to truly achieve perfection in the Second Immortal Realm.

In fact, in the land of Beidou, except for a very small number of geniuses, the effect of the changes in heaven and earth on the cultivation of ordinary powerful people is far less than imagined.

The essence of the strange changes in heaven and earth is rich. For cultivators who are in the early stages of cultivation, cultivation will become much easier. However, for those cultivators who have reached the secret realm of the Immortal Platform, cultivation will still not become easy.

It is normal for most cultivators to eventually remain at the second level of immortality.

Examples like Li Zhi who succeeded in cutting off the Dao after only twenty years of practice are isolated cases and have no reference value.

Take the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi for example. She has been practicing for more than 40 years from the beginning to now, but she still has not reached the threshold of the Way of Beheading.

Now, he is just a powerful person in the late second stage of Immortal.

If the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi wants to achieve the Dao of Destruction, she will need at least ten years of hard training, or even longer.

This is the level that the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Holy Land should have.

In fact, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is already far ahead of all the other saints.

After chatting with Elder Tong of Yao Chi for a while, Li Zhi said goodbye and left with the four maids.

Moreover, at the kind invitation of Elder Tong, he personally opened the gate to the Southern Territory for them.

After returning to the Southern Region, Li Zhi sat in the divine deer chariot. The little Qilin excitedly stood on the head of the divine deer, feeling the joy of speeding.

The divine deer chariot quickly pulled them to the State of Yan.

Afterwards, Li Zhi ordered the four maids to start measuring the land around the ancient forbidden area.

After more than half a month of hard calculations, Li Zhi finally found a special origin of the earth in an uninhabited mountain forest 3,900 miles east of the ancient forbidden area.

There is a tiny hole there.

This is what is often referred to as the Dharma Ending Age.

As we all know, the distribution of the myriad ways of heaven and earth is uneven, just like the essence of heaven and earth.

Some places are rich, some places are thin.

The reason why Li Zhi chose the place where the laws of heaven and earth were the thinnest was to facilitate his subsequent transformation of the dojo.

After all, it is much easier to paint on a blank canvas than on a canvas covered with paint.

After determining the origin of the Tao, Li Zhi began to use his great supernatural powers to transform the forest.

Li Zhi used the mysterious method recorded in the Book of Geography to condense the seven types of terrains for nurturing holy spirits left by Emperor Yuhua into the mountains and forests within a radius of one hundred miles according to the positions of the Big Dipper.

Afterwards, Li Zhi buried seven carefully selected divine sources that sealed the remains of holy spirits at the saint level into the seven places of creation, and engraved the mysterious Taoist patterns learned from the notes of Emperor Yuhua on them to gather and attract the laws of heaven and earth and their essence, thus reviving the seven places of creation.

Finally, Li Zhi used the seven condensed terrains of creation as the formation base and arranged a Big Dipper mountain protection formation, completing the gathering of sky forces and the transformation of terrain within the Taoist temple.

The remaining work is just some simple palace and temple construction and Taoist temple decoration.

There is no need for Li Zhi to even take action, the four maids can complete the rest of the work well.

At the place where the seven stars converged, Li Zhi built a Taoist temple where he lived, and built seven secondary temples in the seven places of creation, where four maids, a small Qilin beast, and a white deer that pulled the cart lived.

The remaining Taoist temple was the residence for Li Zhi's eldest disciple.

However, the noise made by the king casting spells to transform the mountains and rivers was quite loud, which directly attracted the attention of many cultivators from the Yan State.

Even the ancient creatures wandering around the outskirts of the ancient forbidden area were attracted by the noise made by Li Zhi.
