Chapter 277 Unexpected Visitor
At the Qixing Dojo, there was laughter and joy as Li Zhi returned from outside the territory.
Inside the banquet hall, everyone toasted each other and celebrated Li Zhi for becoming the Great King.
After the little Qilin had eaten and drunk its fill, it jumped in front of Li Zhi. Its big eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of drunkenness, and it asked expectantly, "Boss Changshou, is that golden divine egg the delicacy you prepared for me?"
"You little brat, you actually dare to set your sights on her. She is my eldest disciple. Aren't you afraid that she will beat you up severely after she is born?" Li Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand with a smile on his face and rubbed the head of the little Qilin.
"If he dares to hit me, I will bite him." The little Qilin shouted with bared teeth, as if he was afraid of falling out of favor.
"Then you have to work hard, otherwise you will not be able to bite her and get beaten so hard that you run away in fear." Li Zhi laughed.
"YoYo……"
Xiaobai, the divine deer who was watching the fun nearby, saw the little Qilin being humiliated and laughed so hard that he made a loud deer cry.
"Wang!"
The little Qilin became furious and turned into a yellow lightning, appearing on the back of the divine deer Xiaobai, and then bit its neck.
"Ow ooh..."
After the divine deer Xiaobai was bitten, his neck started bleeding instantly and he let out a terrible wail in pain. Then a burst of colorful light rose from his body, directly shocking the little Qilin beast away, and then he ran out of the temple.
"Boom!"
The little Qilin was hit hard against the wall, causing the entire hall to shake.
But the collision also made it sober. After shaking its head, it rushed out and shouted, "Smelly Xiaobai, you are trying to steal the elixir again."
This scene made Li Zhi and the four maids all burst into laughter.
Then Hongye asked, "Master, when will the little master be born?"
Xia Li also asked curiously: "Master, what race is the little master? Why doesn't she have any trace of the demon race's aura?"
The creature in the golden divine egg looked like a human baby, but it had two horns on its forehead that were as big as golden beans. They were not sure if it was a human, but they could not determine its true race either.
"She is the posthumous child of an ant queen with a trace of the bloodline of the sky-horned ant." Li Zhi did not hide Xiao Jin's origins.
The reason why she turned into a human form inside the divine egg was because after being nurtured by the human-shaped elixir of immortality for many years, she had completely shed her insect body.
Just like Yao Yuekong, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, although his bloodline is that of the demon clan, he has been in human form since birth. This is the case with the bloodlines of many great demons in the Eastern Wilderness.
"The mysterious ant queen who is the most powerful and supreme demon in the Central Region?" The four maids were born in the Four Symbols Holy Land in the Central Region. Naturally, they had a deep understanding of the demons in the Central Region and had also heard of the legend of the ant queen.
Legend has it that among the demon tribe in the Central Region, there is a mysterious queen ant who is invincible in the world. Almost all the peerless demon kings in the Central Region have been defeated by her.
However, no human cultivator in the Central Region has ever seen the true appearance of the Queen Ant.
The legend about the queen ant was mostly learned by human cultivators accidentally from the monster tribe, but no major force has ever confirmed it.
"Master, is it true that the legendary queen ant is the peerless demon king?" Dong Qing asked curiously. That was something that the demons were all drooling over, and they were very interested in it.
"The Queen Ant is indeed a genuine demon king. An accident occurred when she was undergoing the holy tribulation. She gave birth to Xiao Jin before she passed away." Li Zhi said.
"She really is the descendant of the Demon King. Master, as a human, why do you want to accept a demon as your disciple? Demons are unable to practice the ancient scriptures of our human race." Hongye asked with some confusion.
Generally speaking, monks accept disciples in order for them to inherit their mantle.
The most important thing in the inheritance is often not the various magical powers, instruments, medicines, and spiritual materials in the garden, but the ancient scriptures that serve as the foundation of practice.
No one would accept as a successor a disciple who was unable to practice his ancient scriptures.
Especially the eldest disciple with a relatively special status.
“This is an ancient scripture created by me. Do you think that practicing it is necessarily related to having human blood?” Li Zhi did not answer, but asked directly.
The Wheel Sea Volume of "The Great Way of Longevity Sutra" created by Li Zhi does not have any racial requirements. As long as one possesses the Wheel of Life and the Sea of Bitterness, one can enter. As for whether one can succeed in cultivation, it depends on one's luck.
The two energies of life and death, the origin of human beings, are not so easy to cultivate.
Meng Zhang asked: "Master, when will the little master be born? We have observed that her consciousness has matured before, so why does she still have to stay in the divine egg?"
Li Zhi said: "She can break out of the shell at any time, but I won't let her. That divine egg is like her placenta. If she cultivates in it for one more day, her essence will be more solid and her bloodline will be stronger. When one day the divine egg can no longer bear her breath, that will be the day she is officially born."
A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Zhang and the others' eyes, and then they said, "Doesn't that mean that the young master has the blood of the demon king, or even the blood of the demon saint, since the day he was born?"
Li Zhi said, "Let's just say so."
The bloodline of the Demon Saint is not worthy of being compared with the bloodline of the Sky-Horned Ant.
The Sky-Horned Ant blood in Xiao Jin's body is not strong now, but after being nurtured for many years under the human-shaped immortality elixir, the purity of her blood has surpassed that of the queen ant.
In the future, when she is born, she can use the method that Li Zhi created specifically for her to strengthen her blood throughout her body and quickly purify her blood.
When her bloodline is purified, its power will be no weaker than those of the ancient princes.
He has unlimited potential and now it seems that he already has the qualities to become a great sage.
Whether she can purify her bloodline to a level comparable to that of a pure-blooded sky-horned ant in the future is the prerequisite for her becoming a quasi-emperor in the future.
As for becoming a saint, it is not a problem for Xiao Jin.
The queen ant was able to rely on the sky-horned ant bloodline in her body to cultivate to the semi-saint realm in such a difficult environment.
Now Xiao Jin's blood purity is even purer than her mother's, and her cultivation environment is also more superior. Naturally, she will not be stopped by the mere barriers of the Holy Path.
At this moment, Xiao Jin is transforming in a spirit blood pool inside Changshou Mountain.
That pool of spiritual blood was the supreme foundation-building treasure liquid that Li Zhi made by blending the holy blood of the gods, the blood of holy beasts, the essence and blood of the ancient cultivators, and a series of spiritual medicines such as divine spring water and dragon marrow.
It can greatly enhance a living being's innate qualifications and strengthen a living being's innate life source.
It works wonders on infants and young children.
Just as Li Zhi was chatting with the four maids, the Qilin beast rushed in. "Boss Changshou, an old friend of yours came to visit you outside the mountain gate." The Qilin beast seemed to be very afraid of Li Zhi's old friend outside the mountain gate.
"My old friend?" Li Zhi was a little surprised.
Then I saw the Holy Son Yaoguang outside the mountain gate.
At this moment, the Holy Son Yaoguang has reached a state of returning to nature. He is no longer like the one in the past who was enveloped in holy light, had blood like a dragon, and had the temperament of a transcendent saint.
Instead, there is a kind of aura that only normal people can have.
It seems that he has succeeded in cutting off all the shackles that had been on his body in the past.
But to the outside world, he still showed the aura of the perfect Immortal II.
The little Qilin's spiritual perception was really sharp, and it actually felt the terrifying power emanating from the Holy Son Yaoguang.
Li Zhi said to the four maids, "Go and prepare a new banquet. I want to entertain the Holy Son of Yaoguang."
Afterwards, Li Zhi personally came to the mountain gate to welcome the Holy Son Yaoguang.
"Master Li, I hope you can forgive me for coming here uninvited." The moment Saint Yaoguang saw Li Zhi, a trace of extreme shock flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhi did not hide his aura, and the aura of a great king was clearly revealed.
"It is my honor to have Fellow Daoist Yaoguang visit my humble home. Please come in." Li Zhi said with a smile.
After arriving at the banquet hall, looking at the banquet that had already been set up, Saint Son Yaoguang was slightly surprised.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Daoist Fellow Yaoguang, please take a seat."
The Holy Son Yaoguang did not refuse. After taking a seat, he explained his purpose.
"Fellow Daoist, you actually invited me to go to the Yuhua Ancestral Temple in Zhongzhou with you?" Li Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Holy Son Yaoguang would come to his Taoist temple for this reason.
"Master, do you also know about the Yuhua Ancestral Temple?" The Yaoguang Holy Land and the four immortal divine dynasties in Zhongzhou spent more than half a year to excavate the Yuhua Ancestral Temple. However, because of the Holy Body Ye Fan and others, the news of the birth of the Yuhua Ancestral Temple spread like wildfire.
Originally, the Holy Son Yaoguang planned to go to the Yuhua Ancestral Temple in person to seize the fortune, but before leaving, he suddenly thought of Li Zhi.
At the Yuhua Ancestral Temple where many events are taking place, Saint Yaoguang wants to use this opportunity to find out the true background of Li Zhi.
However, he never expected that Li Zhi's cultivation had skyrocketed to the level of a great king, which was beyond his expectations.
“Inside the Yuhua Ancestral Temple in Zhongzhou, there are many precious insights of the predecessors, and even the true meaning of exploring immortality, as well as the best immortal materials for making tools, the original ores of phoenix blood red gold, and immortal tears green gold. I know that you are interested in various immortality methods, so I specially came to invite you, Taoist priest, to join me.” said the Holy Son Yaoguang.
As if to dispel Li Zhi's vigilance, the Holy Son of Yaoguang said: "My Yaoguang Holy Land and the four immortal divine dynasties in Zhongzhou are negotiating with various forces. No one is allowed to bring imperial soldiers and holy soldiers into the ancestral temple. Anyone who destroys the ancient temple will be punished by the whole world. Taoist priest, you can rest assured that your personal safety."
"I'm not worried about the imperial soldiers or the holy soldiers, I'm just a little curious. How did your Yaoguang Holy Land and the four immortal divine dynasties discover the traces of the Yuhua Ancestral Temple? Logically speaking, after the Yuhua Divine Dynasty was destroyed by the ruthless emperor, the Yuhua Ancestral Temple should have disappeared since then. Many years ago, I traveled around Zhongzhou and looked for the traces of the Yuhua Ancestral Temple, but found nothing. How did you find its specific location?" Li Zhi asked curiously.
The Yuhua Ancestral Temple had not appeared in the world early or late, but when Ye Fan wanted to return to Earth, it was unearthed by the Yaoguang Holy Land and the four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou.
Li Zhi didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.
It seems that all this is the result of the secret promotion of the ruthless emperor.
For example, he used the power of the ring to make Ji Ziyue dream, and used the power of the lid of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar to make Duan De dream, and they all dreamed of scenes related to the Yuhua Ancestral Temple.
Or the news about the Yuhua Ancestral Temple was transmitted to the minds of the cultivators in the Yaoguang Holy Land through the power of the dragon-patterned black gold tripod.
Facing Li Zhi's question, a huge wave of emotion suddenly rose in the heart of Saint Yaoguang.
They did see the news about the Yuhua Ancestral Temple through the black gold tripod with dragon pattern.
And the time was shortly after the Holy Body Ye Fan returned to Beidou.
Then the Yaoguang Holy Land united with the four immortal divine dynasties in Zhongzhou and began to dig the Yuhua Ancestral Temple on the broken ancestral vein in Zhongzhou.
The ancestral vein of Zhongzhou that was once shattered by the ruthless emperor has been visited by countless people after it was cut off.
Everyone wanted to find the remains of the Yuhua Dynasty, but more than 200,000 years had passed and nothing had been found. It was impossible to determine the true location of the Yuhua Ancestral Temple.
"The Taoist priest is indeed very powerful. He even knows the truth about the Yuhua Ancestral Temple." The Holy Son Yaoguang forced himself to suppress the waves in his heart and said calmly.
"I have longed for the ancestral temple of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty for many years. Legend has it that Emperor Yuhua embarked on a magical path to immortality in the ancestral temple. If I want to achieve immortality in this world, I naturally have to study various methods of immortality." Li Zhi said with a smile.
Hearing that Li Zhi actually wanted to live forever in the mortal world, Saint Yaoguang was quite surprised. He originally thought that Li Zhi had already walked ahead of him on the road to becoming an emperor. Now it seems that this is not the case.
The Holy Son Yaoguang seemed to be lost in thought.
After a full cup of tea, he finally spoke: "Master Li, you seem to have done a lot of research on the transformation of physical constitution. I have met you several times before, and your original aura has been slightly different. Now it is completely different from the first time we met. I wonder if you can help Yaoguang solve this puzzle?"
The Holy Son Yaoguang actually opened up to Li Zhi and said, "If the Taoist priest is willing to help me solve my doubts, Yaoguang is willing to present a volume of the Great Emperor's ancient scripture."
Li Zhi's eyes flickered as he looked up and down at the Holy Son of Yaoguang. After a long while, he said, "You have mastered the Immortal Heavenly Art of the Ruthless Emperor. Do you want to take the path of melting the essence of all spirits and becoming the incarnation of chaos?"
The aura of the Holy Son Yaoguang surged, and he instantly transformed from a cultivator at the second level of immortal perfection to a cultivator at the second level of king perfection.
Seeing that Saint Yaoguang was about to take action, Li Zhi's aura of the Great Dao instantly pressed over, and then he said: "Fellow Daoist Yaoguang, don't be surprised. I have no hostility towards the inheritor of the ruthless lineage. As for whether you practice the Heaven Devouring Demon Art or the Immortal Heaven Art, or other ancient scriptures of the human emperor, it makes no difference to me. The battle for the Emperor's Road is a life-and-death struggle. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with devouring the enemy's original practice. Isn't practicing in the human world just a journey of bones and blood?"
"Master, you know so much." The expression of Saint Yaoguang changed again and again, but he finally restrained his breath and spoke calmly.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I am actually very curious about the inheritance of the ruthless emperor. It's just that I am not destined to see the two supreme heavenly skills. In my opinion, the heavenly skills of the ruthless emperor are the true supreme immortal scriptures that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. Daoist friend is so blessed that he has the honor to inherit the heavenly skills of the ruthless emperor. I envy him very much."
The Holy Son of Yaoguang shook his head slightly and said, "Master, you are too kind."
Li Zhi said: "Regarding the changes in the origin, I can't tell you much, but I can still talk about my understanding of the origin of life."
Saint Yaoguang did not expect that Li Zhi was actually willing to tell him such confidential information.
"In my opinion, the so-called change in the origin of life is nothing more than a change in one's own Dao seed. Our physical bodies are actually a complete Dao seed. The difference in the origin of the aura displayed to the outside world is actually the difference in our understanding of the Dao."
