Chapter 254: Zishan Enlightenment
In the Seven Star Dojo, all the laws of the universe are active and the essence of heaven and earth is surging. In just half a month, Li Zhi's dojo has evolved into a pure land for practice.

This speed of change is rarely seen in the world. It has to be said that the things left behind by Emperor Yuhua, who has studied the way of creation of the Holy Spirit, are extremely effective.

Every emperor who can go deep and solid on the road of immortality in the mortal world is indeed not a person who has gained the reputation for nothing.

No wonder the Emperor Yuhua, who will attain enlightenment again after the perfection of the Holy Spirit in the future, will be far more powerful than the Stone Emperor who attained enlightenment through the Holy Spirit in the Immortal Mountain.

After being baptized by the essence of heaven and earth and all the ways.

Within the Taoist temple, the whole mountain is filled with various old vines and ancient trees, and even more so with magical herbs. It seems like a sacred land that has evolved for tens of thousands of years.

The influence of Li Zhi's path to immortality is the main reason for this change.

As those ancient creatures left, Li Zhi's dojo returned to peace.

Even the spiritual charm of heaven and earth in the Taoist temple became more lively because Li Zhi used a secret method to sacrifice twelve ancient creatures.

It seemed that it had also brought together a lot of good fortune from heaven and earth.

Those great fortunes seemed to be the great luck taken away from the ancient tribes.

Deep inside the fighting platform that those people could not see, there was actually a small three-story altar buried with countless mysterious runes for offering sacrifices to the heavens carved on it.

They offered those dead ancient creatures as sacrifices to the heaven, and used them as a medium to steal the fortune of the great way that represented the fortune of their race.

This is a manifestation of Li Zhi's comprehension of the art of stealing the secrets of heaven reaching a new level.

Borrowing good fortune from heaven and earth will result in boundless causality and will be difficult to repay, and may even cost you blood. However, stealing the good fortune of other living beings or even races is not a crime in the eyes of heaven and earth, and will not create any causal relationship with heaven and earth.

At most, it will produce cause and effect with those races, but the cause and effect between living beings is much easier to resolve than the cause and effect produced by the heaven and earth.

As long as one's own strength is sufficient, the cause and effect between living beings will be resolved by themselves.

Before achieving enlightenment, countless emperors were entangled in cause and effect, and had irreconcilable conflicts with many forces.

But when they became emperors, the previous cause and effect disappeared without a trace.

Even the forces that wanted to kill him back then would give up their past hatred.

A truly strong person does not see cause and effect, and a truly strong person does not believe in cause and effect. This is the truth.

The inexplicable changes in the dojo had little effect on Li Zhi, who was already a king.

However, for the four maids who are now at the first level of immortals and the little Qilin, it is an extraordinary change, making them feel that enlightenment and practice have become more than 30% easier.

But the first creature to feel this change was not the four maids, nor the little Qilin, but the white deer that pulled Li Zhi's carriage.

Its divine deer bloodline was partially awakened due to the baptism of this Qi energy, allowing its cultivation aptitude to surpass the four maids at once and become second only to the little Qilin.

Bai Lu's strength directly broke through to the second level of immortal.

This change directly stimulated Li Zhi's four maids, making them feel intense pressure.

They no longer played and frolicked, but all returned to their respective palaces and temples to practice in seclusion.

Even the little Qilin felt that its position as the guardian beast of the mountain was unstable, so it returned to its Qilin Cave to practice.

Li Zhi placed the cave of the Qilin beast at the foot of the sacred mountain where he lived.

In this way, another month passed, and everything in the temple returned to peace.

Li Zhi also walked out of the Taoist palace and looked around. He saw that the medicinal fields opened up by the four maids on the mountain were empty. So Li Zhi transplanted hundreds of kinds of spiritual herbs from the medicinal mountain in the Hundred Herbs Map and planted them in various medicinal fields in the Taoist temple.

Instantly, the dojo looks more like a permanent residence.

Afterwards, Li Zhi used his great magical powers to build an alchemy room, a weapon refining pavilion, a scripture pavilion and other functional buildings on a nearby low hill.

He copied some of the common cultivation scriptures, various magical powers and spells, the various arts of cultivation such as refining equipment and growing medicine, as well as some sages' cultivation insights, travel notes, etc. that he had collected before in the Sutra Library.

As for the ancient scriptures of the great emperors or the great holy scriptures he collected, they were not placed in the Sutra Repository.

At this point, all the facilities in the dojo are complete.

If he recruits more disciples, Li Zhi's temple can be regarded as a small sect or a small family.

During this period, there were sects from the Southern Region that came to visit.

However, after seeing that the gate of the Taoist temple was closed and there was a sign saying "Closed to Visitors", they all went back.

After decorating and renovating the dojo, seeing that the four maids and the little Qilin were practicing in seclusion, Li Zhi left a telepathic message for Meng Zhang.

Then he planned to leave the temple and go out to look for opportunities.

Li Zhi's cultivation has reached the perfect level of the third level of the king.

He felt that the five secret realms of the human body seemed to have completed a transformation again, and the Wheel Sea Secret Realm could withstand more Wheel Sea visions.

Therefore, Li Zhi planned to practice the eighth wheel sea phenomenon in his plan - the Immortal King coming to the Ninth Heaven.

Li Zhi, who thought he had the specific cultivation method of the Immortal King's Nine Heavens Wheel Sea Phenomenon, could easily cultivate this wheel sea phenomenon.

But after actually practicing, Li Zhi discovered that the difficulty of practicing "The Immortal King Coming to the Ninth Heaven" was much more difficult than the seven kinds of wheel sea phenomena he had cultivated before.

It’s not that Li Zhi can’t understand this method of practice, or that he can’t practice the secret method.

But he was unable to outline the divine form of the "Immortal King". The Nine Heavens where the Immortal King descended in the vision was easy for Li Zhi to cultivate at this time.

But the "Immortal King" in the vision is different.

It is no wonder that apart from the "Immortal King Coming to the Ninth Heaven" wheel sea phenomenon that the holy body is born with, no one has ever heard of any cultivator who has achieved this terrifying phenomenon through acquired efforts.

According to the records of Qi Shi Mansion, the method of practicing the "Immortal King Coming to the Ninth Heaven" wheel sea phenomenon is a secret practice method bestowed by the Great Saint Body to Qi Shi Mansion.

There are many people in the Qi Shi Mansion who have read this secret method, but few have tried to practice it, and there has never been anyone who has been able to succeed in it.

Now that Li Zhi has truly practiced this secret method, he knows where the real difficulty lies.

The most difficult part is the understanding and outline of the "Immortal King".

In this world where true immortals do not exist, it is hard to understand, let alone imagine, a powerful person at the level of Immortal King.

"Immortal King" can only be understood literally, the king among immortals.

As for what characteristics the Immortal King has and what kind of charm does he possess?
Sorry, for the creatures in this world, that is something beyond their cognition.

In other words, it is visitors like Li Zhi who have come to this world from outside the dimensional world and know how terrifying and amazing the Immortal King is.

However, although he knew it, Li Zhi had never seen the true appearance of any immortal king, or even his statue.

It is impossible to depict even a trace of the charm of the Immortal King.

If the charm of the Immortal King cannot be portrayed, then the power of the Immortal King's appearance in the Ninth Heaven is not even as powerful as the stars shining in the blue sky, the bright moon rising from the sea, and other strange phenomena in the wheel sea.

Not to mention competing with top-level wheel sea phenomena such as the Chaos Green Lotus and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram.

But the way to immortality has disappeared in this world, so where can we find the remains of the Immortal King?

Recall the Immortal King who was born in the primitive ancient world.

The Immortal King Wuzhong, the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Ancestral Spirit, each of them is a giant Immortal King, not to mention the true Immortal Emperor Huang Tiandi.

But till now, all traces they left in the world have disappeared without a trace.

Where can I go to comprehend the Dao rhyme of the Immortal King?
Do we have to settle for the second best and use the Great Emperor's Dao rhyme instead of the Immortal King?

But are the emperors in the human world worthy of being compared with the Immortal Kings?

Afterwards, Li Zhi stood in the small square in front of the Taoist palace and looked in the direction of the ancient forbidden area.

In today's world, if we talk about who is closest to the Immortal King in terms of Taoism, it would be the ruthless emperor in the ancient forbidden area.

Among the cultivators who will definitely become Immortal Kings in the future, her cultivation level is the highest at this moment.

As for the other forbidden zone supreme beings, let alone becoming an Immortal King, they can’t even become an Immortal.

Using the spirit of the ruthless emperor to outline the "Immortal King" in "The Immortal King Coming to the Ninth Heaven", wouldn't he be much more powerful than the Immortal King who is imagined for no reason?

After all, the future ruthless emperor will be a powerful being at the level of the Immortal Emperor.

But Li Zhi quickly gave up the idea. The real body of the ruthless emperor was in this universe. If he used her as a template to outline the charm of the Immortal King, the "Immortal King" he would outline in the future might become a shackle on his path of cultivation.

It is a kind of shackles that can really lock him up.

Although Li Zhi was confident that he would be able to cultivate and become an immortal one day, it was still insignificant compared to the more than 200,000 years of cultivation that the Henren Emperor had accumulated.

It is like the feeling of powerlessness that those great emperors or ancient emperors in the future Heavenly Emperor calendar felt when facing the Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan.

Even the Holy Spirit transformed from the terrifying immortal gold could not stop even a single finger of Emperor Ye Tian.

If Li Zhi could become an emperor one day in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to stop even a finger of the ruthless emperor at that time.

In the method of living forever through nine lifetimes, if one is able to transform through four lifetimes, one will possess an accomplishment comparable to that of a true immortal.

With every additional life you live, your accumulated spiritual power will increase exponentially.

The fifth life is equivalent to the middle stage of True Immortal, the sixth life is equivalent to the late stage of True Immortal, the seventh life is equivalent to the perfect True Immortal, the eighth life can be fearless of Quasi-Immortal King, and the ninth life can be on par with Quasi-Immortal King.

After nine generations, and after going through the great catastrophe of becoming an immortal and transforming into an immortal creature, one can directly become a quasi-immortal king, and even be called a master at this level.

This is the horror of the method of living forever for nine lifetimes in the mortal world.

Of course, although this method is terrifyingly powerful, it has a big drawback: the difficulty of transformation will increase exponentially as time goes on.

If one does not live to the eighth life, his life span will eventually have a limit.

This is also the reason why some ancient emperors or celestial beings claimed to be able to slay immortals.

However, those ancient emperors or celestial beings who claimed to be able to slay immortals all died in the end.

Because they have been constantly struggling in the mortal world and have accumulated cultivation for three or four lifetimes, they truly possess the combat power to compete head-on with the True Immortals, and some even have the strength to kill an early True Immortal.

However, combat power is combat power, Taoism is Taoism, and immortality is immortality.

The difficulty of cultivating the fruit of immortality in the mortal world is much higher than that of directly overcoming the tribulation and becoming an immortal to obtain the fruit of immortality.

After excluding the ruthless emperor, the only options left are Ye Fan and the Wu Shi emperor.

However, Ye Fan's cultivation at this time was not as good as his, and using his image to outline the Immortal King would have the same risk as using the Ruthless Emperor to outline the Immortal King.

Because Ye Fan will also embark on the path of reversing nine lifetimes to become an immortal in the future, the speed at which he accumulates his Taoism will be much faster than practicing other methods of immortality.

Moreover, Ye Fan will not leave this world before becoming a mortal immortal.

After excluding two of the three members of the Zhatian group, the only option left is the Emperor Wu Shi who has already left this world.

Because Emperor Wu Shi is not in this world, the avenue he left in this world will not become stronger rapidly with the passage of time, and will not affect the future Li Zhi.

As for why not choose the Immortal Emperor or the Emperor as the template for outlining the Immortal King?

I can only say that compared to the trio of Shaking the Sky, those two old villains are really too insidious.

God knows, after sensing that Li Zhi used their spirit as a template to outline the image of the "Immortal King", would it directly attract the attention of those two old villains, and then turn him into a puppet or jump out directly to plunder his Taoist fruit.

After eliminating various options, Li Zhi finally found that there was no other option except going to Zishan to observe the charm of the great way left by the Wu Shi Emperor.

As for why not use the charm of other great emperors as a template?

Because the great path cultivated by the Wu Shi Emperor is the foundation of the Immortal King Great Dao, while the great paths cultivated by other emperors are the pinnacle of the Supreme Great Dao.

One is the foundation of a bright future, the other is the pinnacle with almost no future. Even a fool knows how to choose.

The strength of the great way left by the Wu Shi Great Emperor in the human world is just right.

It is neither an existence that is far beyond the limit and cannot be touched no matter how hard one tries, nor is it an existence that an ordinary emperor can touch with his effort.

Li Zhi estimated that with his current performance in cultivation, he would be able to be on par with him after accumulating cultivation in two or three lifetimes. By then, he would be able to turn the tables and replace the Immortal King's divine form with his own.

Just like the Immortal King in the vision of the Immortal King coming to the Nine Heavens Wheel Sea that the Holy Body innately carries, it is their own appearance.

From this perspective, the source of the bloodline of the human race's holy body is worth further study.

It seems that it cannot be summarized in a simple sentence: born from heaven and earth.

After walking out of the dojo, Li Zhi directly opened a domain gate.

After crossing the domain gate, he traveled across billions of miles of mountains and rivers and came directly from the southern region of Eastern Wasteland to the northern region of Eastern Wasteland.

Li Zhi was extremely grateful that he had completed the Zhoutian Star Map vision ahead of time.

As long as he has the accurate spatial coordinates, he can use the power of the stars in the sky to open a star gate that spans endless time and space.

Even if he steps into the starry sky in the future, as long as he has the exact coordinates of the starry sky, Li Zhi will be like carrying a divine light platform that can travel freely in the starry sky.

Of course, if one wants to achieve inter-galaxy teleportation, the origin of the stars on Li Zhi’s Zhoutian star map is still too weak.

However, Li Zhi already has a complete plan. After entering the starry sky in the future, he will replace all the stars in the star map with real sun cores.

Only then will the supreme power of the Zhoutian Star Map be officially revealed.

After arriving in the Northern Territory, Li Zhi headed straight for Zishan without any hesitation.

The exact location of Zishan has long been no secret.

However, that place was too strange and the Wu Shi Bell was too powerful, which made it impossible for the cultivators outside to do anything about it.

Moreover, the powerful ancestor king in Zishan had already been taken away by the Immortal Queen.

Even if there were some left, Li Zhi would not be afraid of them with his current kingly cultivation and the protection of the quasi-emperor's magic weapon.

After circling Zishan Mountain, Li Zhi quickly used the Feng Shui secret technique to lock on the specific locations of the nine dragon veins.

Then he entered the underground dragon veins.

Li Zhi visited all nine dragon veins one by one.

Under the observation of the Divine Eye of Life and Death, he soon found a way to escape into the Purple Mountain.

But when he arrived at the gateway to life, he found that there was chaos blocking the way. In the chaos there was a frightening point, which seemed to be transformed from the natural Yin-Yang diagram.

Under Li Zhi's observation with his Dharma eyes, there existed an ancient cave spewing out primordial energy and an ancient cave spewing out evil energy.

That chaotic sea was what was produced after the innate Yin-Yang diagram formed by the condensation of source energy and evil energy underwent a mutation.

It seemed that the innate Yin-Yang diagram, which was supposed to be the portal to life, had undergone a reversal of Yin and Yang, and a terrible change had occurred. It directly turned into a point of Tao in the sea of ​​chaos, turning this place into a sea of ​​chaos filled with fierce murderous intent.

If you rush in rashly, you will most likely be reduced to infinity by the laws of the chaotic sea, and transform into the Tao on the spot, turning into laws and dissipating between heaven and earth.

However, after seeing the chaos, Li Zhi did not show much worry on his face.

Instead, he sat in front of the chaotic portal and began to gain enlightenment.

For ordinary cultivators, places where changes in the Dao occur are places full of crises. However, crises coexist, and although the murderous intent is strong, the good fortune also becomes stronger.

Not everyone has the opportunity to encounter a scene of Tao change. If you can capture the process of the internal Tao change, the rewards will be enormous.

Li Zhi sat in front of the Chaos Portal and began to comprehend the Tao, and soon entered the deepest level of the Tao realm. At the same time, his Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram of the Wheel Sea Vision and the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram of the Wheel Sea Taoist Instrument also appeared behind his mind, together copying the infinite changes of Yin and Yang in the Chaos Sea.

This is a rare and supreme land of Taoism where one can realize that Wuji gives birth to chaos, chaos gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to Liangyi.

Observing this innate Tao map is like listening to nature itself explaining to all living things the infinite changes of yin and yang. This is a supreme opportunity for enlightenment that is priceless.

If any of the peerless geniuses of the Zhongzhou Yin-Yang Sect discovered this place and attained enlightenment here, I am afraid that their understanding of their own ancient scriptures would take a qualitative leap, and their practice would also advance by leaps and bounds.

Unfortunately, this rare place of good fortune can now only be enjoyed by Li Zhi alone.

As Li Zhi's enlightenment deepened, his understanding of the Yin-Yang Wuji gradually improved. Both the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram and the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram showed gratifying changes.

After the Yin and Yang energies in the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram intertwined with each other, two mysterious lights emerged.

A white light seemed to contain the secret of the origin of life, and a black light of death seemed to give birth to the ultimate mystery of the extinction of heaven and earth.

And on the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, the carrier of the Tao, after the Yin and Yang energies are intertwined and fused with each other, they can easily evolve into the Chaos Divine Light, which can even transform into the Chaos Sword Qi that is indestructible.

It seemed that the chaotic sword energy could split the chaotic portal in front of them.
