Chapter 252: Founding a Sect

"Seven stars gather, the Holy Spirit leads the way, the Big Dipper resonates, open!"

After a few days, the original forest had changed beyond all recognition. Eight sacred mountains thousands of feet high rose from the ground, forming a feng shui pattern of seven stars pointing to one pearl.

Li Zhi stood on the sacred mountain in the center, wearing a seven-star Taoist robe and holding a seven-star magic sword, constantly engraving Taoist patterns between heaven and earth.

Gradually, the seven sacred mountains on the periphery began to emit starlight, as if drawing in infinite star essence from outside the domain.

As the energy from the stars outside the domain sank into the seven sacred mountains on the periphery, the mountain range that originally had thin energy instantly became lively and beautiful, and all kinds of plants began to grow wildly.

Outside of that mountain range, almost all of the six great caves of Yan State sent cultivators to watch. Even cultivators from several countries bordering Yan State came to watch this miraculous performance.

"Which big shot is doing this?"

Among those cultivators, the one with the highest cultivation level is only a cultivator from the Four Extreme Secret Realms. How could he see through the situation inside the Big Dipper Array?

However, the light of countless stars can still be clearly distinguished.

Everyone was worried and didn't know how to deal with the dojo established by Li Zhi.

But Li Zhi ignored their intentions.

After attracting the power of the stars, the real divine operation began.

"The way of heaven is long and unending, cause and effect are cyclical, there are gains and losses, there is a return. The Holy Spirit's flesh and blood is reversed!"

Li Zhi used magical mystical methods to unlock the divine seal on the flesh and blood of the Holy Spirit, and reversed the flesh and blood of the Holy Spirit placed in the treasure cave of creation.

A normal Holy Spirit is a body of flesh and blood conceived within the body of heaven and earth by all the ways of heaven and earth.

However, Li Zhi is reversing this process, allowing the Tao rhyme and energy accumulated in the Holy Spirit's flesh and blood to be returned to the heaven and earth.

"Om, hum..."

The sacred mountain shook violently, and boundless divine light burst out, and this happened seven times in succession.

The holy light was like a pillar, reaching from heaven to earth, emitting a strong holy power, as if seven saints were standing on seven sacred mountains, completely releasing their holy laws.

It was as if there were seven saints who were transforming into Taoism and returning everything they had to the heaven and earth.

Let those seven sacred mountains directly become holy lands for cultivation.

Some ancient creatures in the ancient forest that were originally staying on the edge of the ancient forbidden area were all shocked after seeing the seven pillars of holy light that reached the sky and the earth.

"What's going on there? Why are there the auras of seven saints?"

"Let's go over and have a look."

Afterwards, the ancient creatures from several ancient royal families, such as the Primitive Lake, the Huolin Cave, and the Shencan Ridge, ran towards Li Zhi's dojo.

When they reached a place three hundred miles away from the dojo, they did not dare to go any further.

The sharp aura of the Tao rising from the seven sacred mountains was threatening to destroy all living beings in the world.

In their eyes, it seemed as if there were seven ancestral kings who were converting to Tao together.

"No, this is the breath of the Holy Spirit." An old silkworm wearing a Taoist robe from Shencan Ridge said with a serious expression.

"Seven pillars of holy light, doesn't it mean that there are seven holy spirits comparable to the ancestor kings in this place?" said a king from Huolin Cave with a serious look.

“Whose work is this? I’m afraid none of the ancient royal families could be so generous.” A king from Blood Phoenix Mountain spoke up.

"Keep reading, and you'll know the answer soon." The old silkworm in Shencan Ridge had mysterious runes in its eyes, as if it wanted to see through the Seven Star Mountain Protection Array.

In another direction, there were also many ancient creatures from the ancient royal family who were watching this scene intently.

"Old Bull, have you figured out the clue?" A king of the Silver Moon Clan asked the king of the Mighty Bull Demon Clan beside him.

"The person performing the ritual inside is extremely terrifying. I feel a suppression coming from my blood. It seems that I can't use even 70% of my strength when facing that person." The king of the powerful Bull Demon clan said solemnly.

"Old ghost, you, the raw ghost clan, have special magical eyes that you have cultivated. Can you see clearly what is going on inside?" The king of the Silver Moon clan said to another king who was shrouded in a layer of gloomy mist.

“I can’t see clearly, but my intuition tells me that once I forcefully attack those sacred mountains, my life and death will no longer be in the hands of fate.” The king of the Shenggui clan seemed to sense a pure aura of death within the formation.

That deathly aura seemed to be able to control their life and death.

And within the formation, the flesh and blood of the holy spirits in the seven sacred mountains were burning very quickly and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the laws of heaven and earth and the concentration of heaven and earth's essence on the seven sacred mountains are increasing exponentially.

After all the remnants of the holy spirits were returned to heaven and earth, the myriad laws on the seven sacred mountains became extremely active, and the concentration of essence and energy was more than ten times that of the outside.

At the same time, the seven rays of holy light that penetrated the sky and the earth began to converge.

The seven sacred mountains gradually felt like they were returning to their original state.

When Li Zhi finished his ritual, a film of light immediately rose from the seven sacred mountains, covering the Taoist temple within a radius of a hundred miles where the sacred mountains were located.

"To dare to make such a big fuss on the edge of the life forbidden zone, the owner of this place must not be underestimated. We should pay him a visit."

As the seven sacred mountains disappeared from everyone's sight, the king of Huolin Cave spoke.

Even though they all came from ancient royal families, they were all wary of the Life Forbidden Zone.

"Seven different auras of the Holy Spirit, never seen before. It's time to figure out the situation." A king from the Primitive Lake showed a solemn expression. They knew the horror of the Holy Spirit better than any other royal family.

In those days, the Original Lake was at its peak. After Emperor Yuan passed away, three princes of the clan survived the world. However, before they could enjoy their destiny, they encountered two great holy spirits one after another.

In this way, an ancient royal family that was at its peak was almost crippled, and Emperor Yuan’s own family and children were all killed in the battle.

It almost brought an end to a prosperous ancient royal family.

Inside the dojo, Li Zhi also began the final arrangements.

Establish the Tao.

He wants to establish his great way within the temple.

Otherwise this place is not worthy of being called a “dojo”.

How can a place without "Tao" be a Taoist temple?

In the Taoist temple on the Central Sacred Mountain, Li Zhi sat cross-legged on a high Taoist platform made from a section of the dragon vein of an ancient dragon and the Taoist platform left behind by a saint after he became a Taoist, and began to release his own Taoist laws.

A true meaning of immortality flowed out in the laws released by Li Zhi.

The ruthless emperor let her great laws cover the entire ancient forbidden area, and all the laws of heaven and earth were changed as a result.

Now Li Zhi wants to let his great Dao principles cover the entire sacred mountain, so that the sacred mountain where he lives will be filled with his Dao rhyme.

Anyone who climbs the sacred mountain will be affected by his great way.

If a cultivator whose cultivation level is lower than his stays here for a long time, the path he cultivates will probably become closer to Li Zhi's path.

As for other external avenues, they will all be suppressed.

Unless the avenue they cultivate can rival Li Zhi's avenue, or their realm is far beyond Li Zhi.

Gradually, as Li Zhi used his own great Dao to change the laws of heaven and earth that filled the sacred mountain, a great Dao pillar that was initially only three feet thick began to grow rapidly with Li Zhi as the center.

One foot, two feet, three feet...

The diameter of the Great Dao Pillar grew to three thousand feet before it stopped getting thicker.

The three thousand feet high Dao pillar was even as high as thirty thousand feet, and even merged with the dome of the formation barrier, making the barrier of the protective formation full of Li Zhi's Dao aura.

The pillar of heaven that Li Zhi engraved between heaven and earth stood there firmly, and remained unshakable despite the erosion and oppression of the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

This is the toughness of the avenue he cut out.

All the laws of heaven and earth at the same level cannot do anything to it.

With the Da Dao Tian Zhu as a medium, Li Zhi, who was sitting on the Dao platform, quickly entered the forbidden realm of enlightenment.

The great path he cultivated seemed to be independent of all the paths of heaven and earth.

Yet it continues to draw energy from the myriad ways of heaven and earth.

It was not the kind of great way that Li Zhi had imagined, where one way would suppress all others.

Li Zhi quickly understood the reason. When he cut off the Dao, he was not cutting against the Great Dao, but establishing the Dao between heaven and earth.

All the laws of heaven and earth could not do anything to its great Dao, nor could they cut off even a tiny bit of its body, so in the end they allowed this great Dao to exist.

It was just like when Emperor Huang Tian used forbidden means to break through to the supreme realm.

He forcibly broke the restrictions of heaven and earth and survived the calamities and punishments bestowed by heaven and earth, and cultivated a supreme way that was not recognized by heaven and earth. However, he made heaven and earth helpless against him, and finally stepped into the supreme realm with great force.

Even after he broke into the realm of the Supreme, heaven and earth did not bless him.

But it does not prevent Emperor Huang Tian from becoming the supreme.

Li Zhi's situation was similar. He forcibly survived the great calamity of immortals and allowed his path to stand tall between heaven and earth.

So after he successfully cut off the Dao, no strange phenomena of cutting off the Dao appeared between heaven and earth.

Even ordinary cultivators need time to consolidate their achievements after successfully breaking through the Dao in order to avoid a drop in their Dao level. However, Li Zhi did not encounter this risk.

Even though he was extremely weak after successfully breaking the Dao, he did not face the risk of falling in level.

Now, Li Zhi, with the realm of the third level of the king, has successfully established the great way he cultivated between heaven and earth, which can be said to have created quite a miracle.

You must know that in the past only saints could keep the laws of the holy way between heaven and earth without being erased by the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

It was just like what Li Zhi saw on the ancient battlefield under the Falling Eagle Cliff.

In the ocean of laws left there, not a single law is the king's law.

After successfully establishing the Dao between heaven and earth, Li Zhi directly entered into the deepest level of enlightenment, and then he discovered something strange.

As the vitality in his body grew more and more, the death energy also increased accordingly, and the murderous intent in his magic power became stronger and stronger.

Just like vitality and death, they are always complementary and indispensable.

The power of creation and the power of annihilation in magic power are always complementary to each other.

The more powerful your fortune is, the stronger the murderous intent is.

Those murderous intentions are original murderous intentions, which do not come from the outside world, but from oneself.

Li Zhi tried to infuse those murderous intentions into the Immortal Execution Platform, and instantly the murderous aura inside the Platform doubled.

"Master, there are ancient creatures outside who are coming to pay respect to the mountain."

Just when Li Zhi was trying to transfer all the murderous intent in his body into the Immortal Execution Platform, Meng Zhang's voice suddenly came from outside the Taoist temple.

Li Zhi opened his eyes instantly.

The mysterious energies of life and death flow in his eyes, as if they could control the life and death of all living beings in the world.

Li Zhi took out the Immortal Execution Platform and found that it seemed to have reached its limit and could no longer be infused with murderous intent.

Even so, the murderous intent in Li Zhi's body was reduced by more than half.

Li Zhi felt that his life span seemed to have been extended for a period of time.

"Please let them in." After putting away the White Bone Beheading Platform, Li Zhi spoke lightly.

Li Zhi had already sensed the presence of those ancient creatures that had watched him cast spells in the mountains and forests outside.

Outside the mountain gate, Meng Zhang said to the kings of the ancient tribe in a generous manner: "My master invites you in."

"He didn't even come out to greet us. Does he look down on us?" said a powerful man from the ancient royal family.

However, none of the cultivators who came from the ancient royal family felt neglected.

The old silkworm of Shencanling said to Meng Zhang in a gentle manner: "Thank you for leading the way, young lady."

Afterwards, a group of ancient creatures walked into Li Zhi's dojo.

The seven sacred mountains, each emitting a different avenue of charm, guard the sacred mountain in the center.

Under the leadership of Meng Zhang, when everyone arrived at the foot of the Central Sacred Mountain, everyone's face changed drastically.

They felt that their own great laws were imprisoned within their bodies.

Although he could still run, jump and fight, he could not draw any help from the outside world on this sacred mountain.

Those kings secretly used their profound skills, but they were still unable to break through the suppressive force of the Great Dao.

Seeing this, Meng Zhang secretly smiled.

The sisters have personally experienced the powerful suppressing effect of Li Zhi's avenue.

For this reason, Li Zhi did not allow them to practice near the Central Sacred Mountain, and asked them to practice on the other seven sacred peaks.

When they reached the top of the sacred mountain, those ancient creatures finally saw the entire picture of the Taoist temple.

There is only one large hall, with a plaque hanging on it with the words "Heaven and Earth" written in the emperor's language.

Just that plaque made them feel boundless pressure, as if they were truly facing heaven and earth.

"Fellow Taoists, please come in."

In the Taoist palace, Li Zhi did not stand up, but sat on the Taoist platform and waved the silver dragon whisk in his hand to open the door of the palace.

Only then did everyone see Li Zhi's true face.

But after seeing Li Zhi's true appearance, those ancient creatures were all shocked and suspicious.

Because at this moment Li Zhi seemed to be the incarnation of Tao, and there was not a trace of the aura of a mortal being on his body.

The mysterious rhyme of Tao floated around him, condensing the essence of heaven and earth in the hall into ceiling flowers or golden lotuses.

"Master, all the visitors have been brought here." Meng Zhang said respectfully to Li Zhi.

"You go down." Li Zhi sent Meng Zhang away. The longer she stayed in his Great Dao Pillar, the greater the impact it would have on her.

Now that Meng Zhang has not yet become a powerful immortal, the time he can maintain his independence is limited.

Then, Li Zhi said to those ancient creatures in a very calm tone: "You are all elites from various ancient tribes. Tell us why you are here."

There was no emotion in Li Zhi's words or eyes. It seemed that the way he looked at those ancient creatures was no different from the weeds on the roadside, which made all the ancient creatures present feel uncomfortable.
