Chapter 296 Nuwa Temple

Facing Li Xianer who enthusiastically asked him to go tomb raiding together.

Li Zhi could only interrupt her sweet dream and said helplessly: "Xian'er, now that you have recovered, shouldn't you consider how to deal with the villagers who come to deal with your funeral after dawn? And your uncle Dapeng and others, if they knew that you recovered overnight, they would be very happy. And your mother and brother, if they knew that you did not die, would it affect you? And have you thought about how to treat them in the future?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Xian'er said, "Since everyone thinks I'm going to die, then I'll die completely. This is a good opportunity to sever my worldly ties. As for mom and brother, that should be your business, dad."

Then Li Xianer stared at Li Zhi and asked, "Dad, are you coming back this time to take Mom away?"

Li Zhi had no intention of hiding anything and directly told Li Xianer his thoughts.

Finally, he said earnestly: "Xian'er, you have to remember. Cultivation is always something that needs to be done according to one's inner thoughts. The world is full of sufferings, the great road is full of competition, and fate is beyond one's control. Sometimes, you have to make decisive choices about what you should give up. Never develop a mentality of having it all."

"Dad, is this the way of ruthlessness?" Li Zhi's answer caused Li Xian'er to fall into a long silence, and finally she asked.

"It doesn't matter if you are ruthless or affectionate. Just remember one thing, never treat others as tools to be manipulated at will. Only by respecting everyone's choices can you respect your own choices in your heart. Your mother married me not because of love. Of course, I don't deny that I coveted your mother's beauty. So, before I left, I left all my inheritance to you. And put all the things related to practice in the secret room of my hometown. Your mother and your brother chose the wealth and honor in the world, while you chose to walk the great road alone. As the saying goes, there is no regret in making a move. Since you have made a choice, you must accept the result of the choice. Fate is impermanent and human power is limited. Only by learning to give up and let go can you reach the top of the great road. It is rare in the world to have both, and I will not let down Tathagata and you." Li Zhi said calmly.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the road in the world of mortals is difficult.

Saving yourself is already full of difficulties, and saving others can be done after you become an immortal.

"Xian'er is grateful for your advice." Li Xian'er was also a cultivator. She quickly figured out the cause and effect and said seriously.

"Once you have dealt with your affairs, it would be best for us to go meet your mother and your brother so that we can completely let go of worldly ties and concentrate on practicing Taoism from now on." Li Zhi said.

It’s not that Li Zhi doesn’t want his whole family to become immortals, but he simply can’t do it with his current abilities.

Afterwards, Li Xianer discussed the issue of cultivation with Li Zhi.

"Dad, the cultivation environment on Earth is getting worse and worse. When will I be able to cultivate to your level? And where is the Kunlun Immortal Land recorded in your notes? Why can't I find the entrance?"

"You can't enter Kunlun, the place where immortals live. Without a map, even if a saint comes, he can only stare blankly." Li Zhi shook his head and said.

"Is there no way?" Li Xian'er still didn't give up.

"Perhaps your Uncle Ye can enter, but your cultivation is too low, so I'm afraid you have no chance." Li Zhi said.

"Dad, you came back with Uncle Ye. Why did you wait until now to come back to see me?" Li Xianer asked.

"This body is just an incarnation of Dad's mind, and it cannot choose to wake up on its own. Your Uncle Ye was busy fighting with others as soon as he came back, and only remembered me after the battle was over. Dad has to ask your Uncle Ye to protect the two secret places you want to explore. This incarnation of mine can only exist for three months. When the time is up, the mind will dissipate."

"Dad, when can I really see you?" Li Xianer said.

"When your Uncle Ye plans to return to Beidou, you will follow him to Beidou to find me. Dad has a dojo there, and he also has a friend who is both a teacher and a friend. When the time comes, you will study with him for a while, and it will benefit you for the rest of your life." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Dad, how can you be sure that Uncle Ye will return to Beidou?" Li Xianer asked like a curious baby.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Because that is where he attained enlightenment. His friends, lovers, disciples and even subordinates are all there. He will definitely return to Beidou."

The father and daughter met again after more than 20 years and chatted until dawn.

At daybreak, Li Zhi's incarnation returned to the stone dragon pendant. It only had three months left, so the longer it could be delayed, the better.

Li Xian'er was also lying on the chair, and after using a trick to disguise herself, she became "dying" again.

After dawn, Li Dapeng was the first to arrive at the Li family. He was relieved to see that Li Xian'er was still breathing.

"Xian'er, Uncle Dapeng is here to see you." Li Dapeng came to Li Xian'er and said softly.

Li Xianer "weakly" told him about her funeral arrangements, and then "passed away".

On that day, according to Li Xianer's will, she was buried in the Li family cemetery.

That night, Li Xianer's "corpse" disappeared from the coffin.

Also disappearing at the same time were all the things related to cultivation in the Li family, whether they were cultivation notes, techniques, or various magical instruments.

As for other things used by mortals, they were all given to Li Dapeng by Li Xianer.

Even the yard and the house were given away.

As for the secret room in the house, under Li Zhi's magical power, it had already become the same as the surrounding soil.

Two days later, the father and daughter who had cut off their worldly ties disappeared and watched the one-year-old birthday party of Zhou Yaoyang's son in a large villa.

Li Zhi quietly injected some of the magic spring water into the bodies of three generations of a family, making them free from all diseases and able to live to the day of their death.

"Let's go." Looking at the happy family in the villa, Li Zhi said to Li Xianer.

"Dad, Mom has my brother to accompany her. Xian'er will always be by your side." Li Xian'er said.

"Silly girl, since you have already embarked on the path of cultivation, you should have the awareness of a cultivator. You must remember that you walk alone on the road of cultivation. You can only rely on yourself, and only by relying on yourself can you keep moving forward. Dad doesn't need you to accompany him, and I hope that you can become a unique empress in the future."

"I don't want to become an emperor. I want to stay on the road of greatness forever and follow in your footsteps, Dad." Li Xian'er said with determination.

The father and daughter, having completely left the worldly world behind, left the big city and went straight to look for Ye Fan.

Li Zhi ran away from home when Li Jizu and Li Xian'er were a little over one year old.

Now the grandchildren are one year old, but this time it is Li Xian'er who left with Li Zhi.

Perhaps, this is the price to pay for practicing Taoism and achieving immortality.

Once again came to the nameless hill where Ye Fan was.

It happened to be a rainy day, and Li Zhi and Li Xian'er saw Ye Fan's disciples attracting lightning to overcome the tribulation.

"Is that Phoenix Girl?" The person who was undergoing the tribulation was a beautiful girl, and Li Xian'er seemed to know her.

"Xian'er, do you know her?" Li Zhi asked.

"I've heard of her and seen her photos, but I've never seen her in person. I used to be a casual cultivator. When I was fighting for cultivation resources, I made enemies with cultivators from powerful forces. Among them were cultivators from the Vermillion Phoenix lineage."

Deep down, Li Xianer is not afraid of the big forces on Earth.

Even if she was covered in bruises and even became a mortal enemy because of the fight, she didn't care.

Li Zhi said, "Xian'er, you are no longer short of cultivation resources and insights. Once this matter is resolved, find a place to practice well and strive to build a solid foundation in a place like Earth. At least you must complete four or more transformations before entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Only when you reach Beidou in the future can you soar into the sky."

The cultivation resources prepared by Li Zhi were enough for her to undergo six transformations.

However, the cultivation environment on Earth is relatively harsh, and it is not as easy to achieve a complete transformation as in Beidou. Therefore, Li Zhi's requirement for Li Xian'er is to use the cultivation resources for six transformations to complete four transformations.

Moreover, Li Zhi believed that Li Xianer could exceed the plan.

Li Zhi had never felt that kind of ruthlessness and persistence that came from deep within his heart from any other cultivator when he was in Beidou.

Soon, the thunder and rain stopped, and the disheveled Phoenix Girl returned to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took out a piece of alien source for her to absorb and restore her energy. After that, Li Zhicai and Li Xianer walked over together.

After seeing Ye Fan, Li Xian'er looked at him curiously, and then greeted him: "Uncle Ye, you are younger than you were back then."

"Are you Xiaoxianer? You've grown up so much." Ye Fan had seen Li Xianer when she was a child. At that time, Li Xianer was less than two years old.

After seeing Li Zhi's condition, Ye Fan was also slightly stunned and said: "Li Zhi, why are you in such a bad condition?"

"There were some problems with Xian'er's body. I forcefully cast a spell and consumed too much energy of this incarnation." Li Zhi explained.

"Everyone, come and meet your Uncle Li." Then, Ye Fan called all the registered disciples to come and pay their respects to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi once again gave out some pills as a gift.

Afterwards, Ye Fan went to the thatched cottage with Li Zhi and Li Xianer to discuss things.

"Li Zhi, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Ye Fan knew that Li Zhi would not come to him for no reason, so he asked directly.

"Xian'er discovered a place that is suspected to be the tomb of a quasi-emperor. I came here specially to invite you to explore that secret place together. My incarnation is no longer able to take action, so I will only feel at ease if I ask you to take action. With Xian'er's current level of cultivation, I don't feel comfortable letting her go alone." Li Zhi said.

"What secret realm?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"A secret place related to the Great Empress Nuwa." Li Zhi said.

This was the result he inferred based on Li Xianer's description and his own knowledge.

Sure enough, Ye Fan was moved.

Things related to the ancient emperors are something that makes people excited.

"When do we set off?" Ye Fan asked.

He felt even more emotional in his heart. When it came to exploring secret realms and searching for treasures, he really had to rely on Li Zhi.

Now Li Xian'er seems to have inherited Li Zhi's talent in this area.

"The sooner the better." Li Zhi said.

"Then I'll make the arrangements and we'll set off tomorrow." Ye Fan said.

Then they started chatting.

Outside the hut, the few registered disciples that Ye Fan accepted surrounded Xiaosong and asked, "Brother Xiaosong, who is that Uncle Li? He is really generous. Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Xiao Song used his divine thoughts to transmit his voice: "Master said that Master Li is a great king and also a Taoist master."

"Great King, how could there be a Great King on earth? It must be fake." Everyone was shocked.

Xiao Song transmitted his message again: "Uncle Li came back with Master."

Everyone accepted this, and then Phoenix Goddess asked, "Who is the girl next to him?"

Xiaosong scratched his head and shook his head: "I don't know that girl either."

At this time, Zhang Qingyang, who was known as the Little Heavenly Master, said: "This Master Li is not his real body, he should be just an incarnation."

That afternoon, Ye Fan asked all the registered disciples to go back.

The next morning, he took Xiaosong and Li Xianer and flew towards the Loess Plateau.

Finally, they stopped on a dirt ridge that couldn't be more ordinary.

Li Xianer pointed to a half-collapsed earthen temple in the ravine and said, "Uncle Ye, the secret realm is under the Nuwa Temple."

Ye Fan opened his eyes of heaven and looked left and right, but he did not find any traces of the so-called tomb here.

This mountain range with ravines and gullies is basically the most ordinary place on the Loess Plateau.

"Xian'er, how do you know there is a secret realm here?" Ye Fan asked.

"I discovered it by feeling. However, after my father taught me the "Tomb Sutra", I was able to determine the location of the entrance. It's just that my magic power is limited, and I can't evolve a law-based tunnel. I can only ask Uncle Ye to do it for me. Dad said that you are proficient in the Source Heaven Divine Art and possess the Source Heaven Divine Pupil, which can see through the movements under the earth." Li Xianer said.

"Li Zhi, what's wrong with Xiao Xian'er? Why does she have an extreme aura of death, and also an aura similar to the yin energy on Duan De's body?" Ye Fan discovered something wrong with Li Xian'er only after he opened his Open Heavenly Divine Pupils, and quickly asked Li Zhi through voice transmission.

"Xian'er possesses an amazing talent in archaeology. She can determine where the ancient tombs are just by feeling. The yin and death energy on her body are the hidden dangers left behind when a great saint's tomb was excavated. If we want to completely get rid of the interference of the death energy and yin energy, we can only wait until she goes to Beidou in the future to solve it." Li Zhi explained.

"My goodness, I really didn't realize that Xiao Xian'er and Duan De are on the same path? If Fatty Duan knew about her talent, he would probably drag Xiao Xian'er to dig graves everywhere." Ye Fan was also amazed.

However, Li Zhi felt that Li Xian'er's talent might be related to her constant recitation of the scriptures of "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven" in the past.

He accidentally stole a mysterious energy from the earth and integrated it into his own origin.

After all, the earth is a famous place for raising corpses in the whole universe.

It is even possible that it is an ancient star of life formed from the fragments of the burial site.

At the same time, it also gave Li Zhi a deeper understanding of "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven".

The magical powers he evolved from the text of "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" are not necessarily authentic magical powers, but just his own understanding of Heaven's secrets.

Perhaps Li Xianer's use of "Stealing Heaven's Secret" is correct, allowing mortals to steal a special innate physique directly from heaven and earth, and thus embark on the path of cultivation.

If I told others about this kind of heaven-defying fortune, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Li Zhi checked Li Xianer's origin and it seemed to be no different from those ordinary king bodies of Beidou.

When she completes the transformation arranged by Li Zhi, her physique will be further enhanced and may be comparable to that of a God King.

Afterwards, Ye Fan became Li Xianer's tool.

After digging a hole hundreds of feet deep under the collapsed Nuwa Temple, everyone finally saw a special layer of soil.

It was that special layer of soil that deceived Ye Fan's Yuantian Divine Eye.

Li Zhi picked up some soil, observed it carefully for a moment, and said, "This is the soil transformed from Xirang. It's just that all the essence has disappeared, but the ability of Xirang to contain everything has not changed."

After practicing to his current level, Ye Fan already knew that the Source Heavenly Divine Pupil was not omnipotent.

Looking at the reddish-brown soil on the ground, Ye Fan said, "Xiao Xian'er, you and Xiao Song step back. I, your uncle Ye, will lead the way."

Then, Ye Fan began to use the source technique to evolve a special tunnel in the soil mixed with Xirang.

Finally, at the end of the passage is a mud slab that cannot be penetrated by spiritual consciousness. There are many special patterns on the mud slab. If you observe carefully with spiritual consciousness, you can even feel a dangerous aura.
