Chapter 267 The road to immortality is blocked?

"It's unbelievable that he killed two great ancestral kings in one battle."

"Which major power secretly cultivated the genius of Taoist Changshou? It has only been a short time, but his cultivation has soared to the sixth level of the king. Is he the emperor's son who was sealed away by my human race?"

"It is said that the Taoist of Longevity has a close relationship with the Holy Land of Yaochi. Perhaps the people of the Holy Land of Yaochi know his true origins."

"What a pity! If he hadn't died, the descendants of the ancient emperors would probably not be his match in the future."

"God is jealous of talented people. I heard that Taoist Changshou died under the Immortal Beheading Guillotine. The Immortal Beheading Guillotine can kill even immortals, let alone Taoist Changshou."

"It is said that the Immortal Slashing Guillotine is a calamity that only appeared in the ancient era of immortals. Why does it appear in the modern world?"

"Who knows? I heard from fellow Taoists in Qishi Mansion that Taoist Changshou summoned the legendary Thunder Pond several times when he was overcoming the calamity. That is the highest form of heavenly calamity, which could not be seen in the mythological period. Only in the mysterious chaotic ancient times would the Thunder Pond occasionally appear in the heavenly calamity."

Walking on the streets of the Divine City, he constantly heard various discussions about Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi looked like an ordinary person with an average face. Walking on the streets of the Divine City, almost no one associated him with the longevity Taoist who killed the two great ancestor kings.

After his body was taken over by the mysterious will, Li Zhi's ability to reduce his presence was qualitatively improved.

In the past, he reduced his presence by locking his own breath.

But now, he seemed to be able to blend in with the surrounding environment at any time and anywhere, without any sense of abruptness.

It was as if he was a part of the environment, making people subconsciously ignore his existence.

Instead of being the most dazzling person in the crowd wherever you go.

In Li Zhi's opinion, that dazzling performance was a manifestation of great difference from the environment of heaven and earth.

The greater the difference from the surrounding environment, the more unique it feels.

As he walked, Li Zhi arrived outside the Tianxuan Stone Archway.

He did not enter the stone archway, but stood outside and looked at everything inside.

At this moment, Wei Yi was sitting on a stone and meditating like an ordinary old man.

He seemed to feel Li Zhi's gaze, but he didn't care. He just thought Li Zhi was an ordinary cultivator who was curious and wanted to see the holy face of the human race.

But when Li Zhi turned around and left, Wei Yi immediately noticed something unusual.

"But is young friend Changshou here in person?" Wei Yi asked uncertainly.

"I'm Li Zhi, nice to meet you, senior." Since he was discovered by Wei Yi, Li Zhi walked into Tianxuan's stone archway with confidence.

Wei Yi looked Li Zhi up and down, focusing on Li Zhi's neck again and again.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Young friend Changshou, how did you survive that strange calamity?"

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, senior. Since ancient times, cultivators who could survive the Immortal Guillotine are extremely rare. I indeed died under the heavenly calamity at that time. Now that I can appear alive, it's just a life in exchange for another." Li Zhi said.

"My friend is indeed not easy to die as Senior Gai said." Wei Yi did not delve into it, but sighed.

"I would also like to thank you for stopping the ancient king. If my body was obtained by them, I would have no chance of resurrection." Li Zhi thanked Wei Yi.

The main purpose of coming to Tianxuan Stone Workshop this time was to thank Wei Yi for stopping the Red Scale King at that time, otherwise he would have no time to perform the life-changing technique.

Then, Wei Yi asked, "Why did the two ancient ancestor kings want to kill you?"

An agreement had been reached at the Conference of All Races that strong men above the level of Saints were not allowed to take action, so Wei Yi wanted to find out the reason.

After all, Li Zhi is also a person among the human race who is qualified to embark on the path to becoming an emperor. If the Ancient Ancestor King is determined to wipe him out at all costs, then people like them should take action.

Maybe we will have to hunt down those descendants of ancient emperors.

Li Zhi said, "It's nothing serious. Senior, don't worry. I accidentally entered the territory of the two ancient ancestor kings while practicing, which caused a lot of noise, so they chased me. Now they are dead, and the cause and effect are over."

Li Zhi naturally just told Wei Yi the truth about how he used ancient creatures to practice martial arts.

Using the lives of all living things to practice magic will not be accepted by either ancient creatures or human cultivators.

Fortunately, Wei Yi didn't want to get to the bottom of the matter.

After Li Zhi chatted with Wei Yi for a while, he left Tianxuan Stone Workshop.

After Li Zhi left, a solemn look flashed across Wei Yi's eyes.

The ancestor king of the Taigu clan called Li Zhi the ancient prince.

No matter from which angle he observed, he did not see any inhuman characteristics in Li Zhi.

However, he did not forget the pure dragon blood that spurted from Li Zhi's neck before.

The purity of that dragon blood surpasses the blood of all other dragons in the world.

It was as if it was really the dragon blood flowing in the body of a true dragon descendant.

It is not normal in any way to have dragon blood flowing in a human body.

Combined with the way the ancient creatures addressed Li Zhi, he was very suspicious as to whether Li Zhi was actually a human being.

The ancient creatures are not fools. If Li Zhi only used magical powers to disguise himself, there is no way he could make those ancient creatures believe that he is the real ancient prince.

Moreover, Li Zhi gave Wei Yi a very strange feeling.

He looks like a pure person, but he feels like he is facing the heaven and earth.

"Could it be that he is still the human puppet of heavenly tribulation?" Wei Yi's mind couldn't help but think of what Huo Tianshu said about the human puppet of heavenly tribulation.

A cultivator who turns into a human puppet of heavenly tribulation cannot be considered dead, but has become a very strange species.

Thinking of all the unreasonable things that happened to Li Zhi, Wei Yi felt that it would be better to train Li Zhi as a rising star of the human race.

It would be better to treat him as one of those ancient princes.

The more Wei Yi thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to him, and he passed his ideas to Jiang Taixu, Gai Jiuyou, and other human sages.

He also sent news to those human forces that possessed imperial weapons.

In the holy land of Yao Chi, beside the fairy lake, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was sitting beside the Nine-Aperture Stone Man to attain enlightenment. After receiving the message from the Queen Mother of Yao Chi, she hurriedly ended her enlightenment.

After reading the news from the Queen Mother that Li Zhi was not a human, Yao Chi Saintess was shocked and said, "How is this possible?"

After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother said, "Perhaps this is his true nature."

The Saint of Yao Chi shook her head and said, "I don't believe that longevity is not the human race."

The Queen Mother said: "If you recall carefully every detail of your interactions with him, you may be able to discover the truth."

The more the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi thought about it, the more she felt that the news in her hands might be true.

Li Zhi never seemed to behave like a normal human cultivator.

Previously, during the discussion at the Conference of All Races, Li Zhi's views on the human race were also very unique, and he did not seem to recognize the existence of the concept of the human race.

At that time, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi refuted this.

Now it seems that Li Zhi seems to have other intentions.

In an instant, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi felt deceived and her eyes gradually became cold.

"Master, I'm going to practice." After saying this, she returned to the Fairy Lake and began to gain enlightenment.

An unprecedented pressure arose in her heart.

At the same time, Li Zhi, who was staying in an ordinary inn in Shencheng, did not know that he had been excluded from the scope of the human race by the major forces of the human race.

Perhaps, even if Li Zhi knew about this, he would not take it to heart.

In the eyes of most ordinary powerful people, the brilliant and talented Taoist Changshou has passed away.

The discussion about Li Zhi using the heavenly tribulation to kill the two ancient kings was soon replaced by the great battle two days later.

The holy body Ye Fan and the ancient royal bloodline Yuan Gu of the primitive lake will start a battle for the future between the human race and the ancient royal family in Qixia Plain.

Its importance is no less than the bloody massacre by the God King Jiang Taixu in all directions at the Conference of All Races.

Even more than that.

Even though the Divine King Jiang Taixu lived a second life, he had been famous for a long time and his ceiling was set. In the competition for the throne, he did not have as much potential as Yuan Gu, the daughter of the Empress Yuan of the Primordial Lake, and Ye Fan, the Holy Body.

This battle between the two can be regarded as the first true battle for the throne on the ancient Beidou Star.

Before this, the fight between Saint Body Ye Fan and Northern Emperor Wang Teng could not be considered a fight for the throne.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Saint Body Ye Fan who took advantage of the situation and used something that was no weaker than the imperial weapon to defeat the Northern Emperor Wang Teng.

Unfortunately, since that battle, Northern Emperor Wang Teng’s performance has been somewhat unworthy of the inheritance he received from the Great Emperor Luan Gu.

Logically speaking, the inheritance of Emperor Luan Gu is least afraid of failure.

Even if he suffered defeat in the battle for the throne, or even his spiritual faith collapsed, he was fearless.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng was arrogant and didn't really understand the true meaning of the ancient scripture of the Great Emperor Luan Gu, and wasted a supreme inheritance in vain.

Everyone realized that Beidou’s bloody road to becoming an emperor seemed to be about to begin between Yuan Gu and Ye Fan.

The popularity of the deceased Taoist priest of longevity lasted only one day before it was replaced by new popularity.

this is the truth.

No matter how amazing a monk is, once he dies, he will soon be forgotten by all living beings.

No matter how stunning someone was during their lifetime, people will only admire the living, not the dead.

Sitting in the cave of the inn, Li Zhi reorganized his recent gains from practice.

At the same time, he was also reflecting on the right and wrong of his previous practice.

Ever since he entered the realm of king, his cultivation speed has been like a cheat.

In just less than three years, he reached the sixth level of the king realm.

This terrifying speed of cultivation is beyond the reach of even the prince of heaven, whose bloodline power is number one in the world.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that there seemed to be a mysterious force that was constantly forcing him to move closer to the path of becoming an emperor.

The path to eternal life in the mortal world that he had originally planned seemed to become more and more difficult. Even the things he had prepared in order to embark on the path to eternal life in the mortal world were all destroyed one by one.

Even the golden dragon that served as his test method for the main and secondary bodies was killed in this catastrophe. It seemed that under the influence of some unknown will, all his escape routes were cut off, forcing him to move closer to the path of becoming the Great Emperor.

It seemed to be warning him that if he wanted to embark on the path to immortality, he must first become an emperor. If he was not an emperor, he would not be qualified to embark on the path to immortality.

Sitting in the cave of the inn, Li Zhi was a little dazed.

"Is this the reason why there is no way to achieve immortality in this world?"

Every cultivator with extraordinary talent never considers extending the life span of each small realm, and is only interested in competing for the path to becoming an emperor.

Isn't it that they don't want to, but that they can't?

For a moment, Li Zhi's heart was a little confused.

The road to immortality is cut off, is this what it means?
Is it not as simple as a lack of immortal matter?
It’s that heaven and earth no longer bestow destiny on all living beings. Only after becoming an emperor can one forcibly intercept a part of destiny from the origin of heaven and earth.

Is this the reason why the lifespan of a great emperor can exceed that of someone who has achieved enlightenment?

Destiny and immortal matter cannot be completely equated.

At that time, the world of the primitive ancient world entered the period of the Dharma Ending Age. God's will killed all living beings and at the same time took back the destiny.

This will greatly reduce the lifespan of the monks.

However, the immortal matter between heaven and earth did not disappear, and the lifespan of all living beings was still reduced by more than 90%.

It can be imagined that what affects lifespan is not only the immortal substance, but also the mysterious power of destiny.

Sure enough, the road to immortality is cut off, and it is not just talk.

Heaven does not allow any living being to live forever. If you want to take this path, you are going against Heaven.

No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, as long as you embark on the path of immortality, you must face the backlash of heaven and earth.

But today, Li Zhi is still too weak in the face of heaven and earth.

After a slight resistance, he encountered an unprecedented disaster under the influence of cause and effect.

Otherwise, how could the thunder tribulation of the mere sixth level of the king realm possibly attract such a terrifying existence as the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine.

He even directly took control of the magical weapons he was using.

It seems unreasonable, but it is actually very normal.

This was heaven and earth's counterattack against his choice to embark on the path of eternal life in the mortal world.

Perhaps the great Dao he cut out after experiencing the great catastrophe of cutting the Dao is even more hated by heaven and earth than the great Dao he cut out by cutting the Dao in reverse.

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

"Cut off my path to immortality and force me to become an emperor?" A cold light flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

"Then let me see, has the road to immortality in the mortal world really been cut off? I don't believe it. Since there is spiritual energy between heaven and earth, why do cultivators like us have to be subject to such terrible lifespan restrictions." Li Zhi seemed to be aroused with endless fighting spirit.

Then he sat in the inn to adjust himself.

After all, he had just experienced a heavenly calamity. Even though the Golden Dragon died for him once, his body still needed to be recuperated.

He has now used the Holy Spirit's Life-Substitution Technique three times.

The first time he used the blood of the ancient emperor to save his life, the second time he used four Taoist artifacts to save his life, and the third time he used the golden dragon to save his life.

The fourth time, I’m afraid there are only a few things in the world that he can use to save his life.

Li Zhi felt that this innate magical power from the Qilin Holy Spirit was completely useless to him.

Is this what the will of heaven and earth wants to see?

Make his life-saving trump cards ineffective one by one, thus forcing him to embark on the path to becoming the emperor?

Then use the opponents on the imperial road to get rid of himself?
It’s not that Li Zhi thinks too much, but if he doesn’t think enough, it’s easy to step into the path of cultivation designed by heaven and earth for all living beings.

That road is beautiful though.

But it is extremely difficult to transcend.

There have been hundreds of great emperors throughout history, but how many of them were able to transcend the constraints of the throne?
Therefore, Li Zhi was extremely wary of the path to becoming an emperor from the very beginning.

If one wants to achieve immortality in this mortal world, it is undoubtedly easier to open up a completely new path to immortality than the path to becoming an emperor designed by heaven and earth.

Every emperor is the darling of the times and an invincible existence in a period.

However, the vast majority of emperors and kings were unable to take the path to becoming an emperor and thus embark on the true path to eternal life in the mortal world.

It is enough to see that this path is flawed.

Li Zhi asked himself, his talent is not the kind of talent that is rare in ancient and modern times.

His strength is not to suppress all enemies with absolute strength.

Rather, it is a peculiar understanding of the path to immortality in the mortal world that is completely different from that of the natives of the world of Shrouding the Sky.

This is the real reason why Li Zhi was able to cut out the path to immortality when he was cutting the Dao.

This is also the real reason why Li Zhi dared to embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

Since the end of the Ancient Era, there have been more than a hundred super powerful people who can walk the path to becoming the Great Emperor in this incomplete universe.

However, there are less than a handful of strong people who can walk the path to immortality in the mortal world.

It is enough to see that the path to the Great Emperor is not a necessary condition for embarking on the path of eternal life in the mortal world. It is even possible that the path to the Great Emperor itself is a pit.

It is an open conspiracy that cannot be cracked.

It has limited the exploration of different paths to immortality by wise people since ancient times.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the lifespans of the great sages in the mythological era and the great sages today are almost the same?
Instead, with the changes of the times, the monks with equally extraordinary comprehension and qualifications that have appeared in every generation have expanded the upper limit of lifespan in each realm?

It seems that since the mythological period, the path of spiritual practice has not made any substantial progress.

It is still the road to becoming the great emperor.

The Great Emperor is the pinnacle of monks.

In Li Zhi's opinion, this is wrong.

Even though the Great Emperor is the highest peak on the path of cultivation, there should also be other types of peaks.

In Li Zhi's opinion, the fact that the Taoist of longevity was able to have the lifespan of a great emperor with the cultivation level of the third level of quasi-emperor was enough to show that the depth of his exploration on the path of immortality had actually surpassed that of an ordinary great emperor.

What Li Zhi has to do now is to continue this inheritance.

We will even continue to broaden and deepen this exploration of the path to eternal life in the mortal world.

Instead of rushing to fight with other monks for the position of emperor.

As long as he can expand this production path, perhaps Li Zhi will one day outlive the emperor.

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

Perhaps, the future Golden Crow Emperor cursed in frustration before his death because he could not survive Ye Fan.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi became more determined to pursue the path to immortality in the mortal world.
