Chapter 305 Preaching and Teaching
In the outer space battlefield, the battle at the avenue level is still going on.

Such a dangerous fight made those who came later terrified.

This one-on-thirty-one battle allowed Li Zhi to suppress those ancient ancestor kings at the level of the Great Dao.

It has a terrifying effect of one move suppressing ten thousand moves.

However, the reason why the Great Emperor achieved enlightenment and had the effect of suppressing all the Daos is because the Great Emperor had the mark of the Heart of Heaven on his body, not that the Great Emperor really had the ability to place his own mark of the Dao above all the Daos of heaven and earth.

To place one's own great Dao imprint directly above all the Daos of heaven and earth, since the mythological era, only the future Ye Tiandi could achieve this when he became emperor.

And Li Zhi's battles with these ancient ancestor kings at the saint level involved neither fierce fighting nor gorgeous magical power showdowns, nor any exciting physical contests, but only silent collisions at the level of the Great Dao.

This kind of competition is simple and clear. It depends on who has realized the greater truth.

The winner gets everything; the loser loses everything, even the great principles he has realized will be taken away by the victorious side.

The strong men of various races who came to watch the battle outside the territory did not dare to get close, for fear of being implicated.

"Another remarkable saint has been born in your human race." On the edge of the battlefield outside the domain, Great Sage Hun Tuo and Gai Jiuyou of the Taigu clan appeared here at some point.

"Alas! Young friend Changshou has indeed chosen this path." After observing Li Zhi's laws of the Dao for a while, Gai Jiuyou sighed slightly, seeming not to be optimistic about the path chosen by Li Zhi.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you feel happy for this long-lived Taoist priest? In the competition for the throne, he seems to be ahead of all the ancient emperors' descendants." The Great Sage Hun Tian felt a deep sense of pity for Li Zhi from Gai Jiuyou.

"Master, which path did Taoist Changshou take?" At this moment, following Gai Jiuyou was an extremely beautiful girl, who was his disciple Xia Jiuyou.

"A road that will lead to certain death." Gai Jiuyou was unwilling to say more.

During the time when he and Li Zhi were traveling together, the two discussed how to practice in today's world in order to have the hope of becoming an immortal.

Gai Jiuyou naturally firmly believes in the traditional path, that a cultivator should first become an emperor and then find a way to become an immortal.

But Li Zhi was different. He felt that if one practiced in the mortal world where one could not become an immortal, one must not practice for the purpose of becoming an emperor, but must practice for immortality. Only by achieving the fruit of immortality in the mortal world would one have a chance to become an immortal.

Otherwise, even if one has great fighting power and is able to defeat the immortals as a great emperor, it will be nothing but an illusion and will be in vain when one grows old.

Gai Jiuyou once persuaded Li Zhi to give up this fantastic idea.

In his opinion, with Li Zhi's talent, even if he could not become an emperor in the future, he would be able to reach an alternative level of enlightenment, and even an alternative level of enlightenment that could be comparable to that of a great saint.

However, Li Zhi said that there is an essential conflict between practicing for the purpose of becoming an emperor and practicing for the purpose of immortality.

The path of the Great Emperor is to pursue invincibility in the world, and all the Taoism is for the purpose of gaining a stronger fighting power. In the end, you will obtain the Taoism of the Great Emperor, achieve supremacy in the universe, and suppress all Taoisms.

The road to immortality is different. The main opponent is not the various creatures in the world, but the world itself. The focus of this road is to obtain the fruit of immortality and achieve eternity. The world changes but I do not change.

In Gai Jiuyou's opinion, Li Zhi's idea was too fantastic. How could a little cultivator like Li Zhi achieve a goal that emperors and kings of all dynasties could not achieve?

In Gai Jiuyou's opinion, the path Li Zhi was taking was a dead end with no hope in sight.

It is extremely difficult for a cultivator to obtain the fruit of the Great Emperor, let alone the fruit of the Longevity.

Almost all those who aspire to live forever end up badly.

Xia Jiuyou is just a king now, and he can’t see what’s special about Li Zhi’s Tao.

But it was different for the Great Sage Hun Tuo. Gai Jiuyou's words made him re-examine the Great Dao Furnace that Li Zhi was using.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

It’s not that Li Zhi’s avenue is so powerful that it shocks this great sage.

It's that completely different aura of the Tao, which, upon closer inspection, makes people feel very uncomfortable.

It was as if there was an anomaly between heaven and earth, and an inexplicable desire to get rid of Li Zhi as soon as possible arose in his mind.

It feels like someone suddenly poops on the clean ground, making you feel extremely disgusted and wanting to wipe it off for no reason.

It seemed as if the entire heaven, earth and universe wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, and all the laws of heaven and earth did not recognize him.

He is like a cancer parasitic on the world.

"Fellow Daoist Gai, what kind of Taoism is this long-lived Taoist practicing? Why did he make himself hated by heaven and earth? Doesn't he want to attain enlightenment and become an emperor?" The Great Sage Hun Tuo finally understood some things. He felt more and more puzzled and could not help asking.

If the great path that a cultivator cultivates is hated by heaven and earth, how can he achieve enlightenment, and how can he bear the mark of heaven?
Gai Jiuyou had no intention of revealing Li Zhi's true identity to Great Sage Hun Tuo. He just stared at Li Zhi who was competing with thirty-one saint-level ancestor kings.

After observing for a while, Xia Jiuyou beside him felt as if he had seen Changsheng, and gradually entered a state of enlightenment.

Seeing this, Gai Jiuyou said softly, "Wake up."

Xia Jiuyou quickly came out of his enlightenment state and asked, "Master, I almost figured out a healing method, why did you wake me up?"

Gai Jiuyou said: "That is the way to longevity, and also the law of longevity. It is not what you should comprehend. It is best not to comprehend that law at all, otherwise it will lead you astray."

"Why did you lead me astray?" Xia Jiuyou didn't quite understand what Gai Jiuyou meant, so he asked.

“Young friend Changshou’s Tao is the most bewitching avenue in the world. Once you fall into it, it will not be easy to get out. Your current level of Taoism is too far away from young friend Changshou’s. Your foundation of Taoism is not solid and can be easily affected by external forces.” At this moment, Gai Jiuyou demonstrated the level of teaching and answering questions that a master should have.

Immortality, what a tempting thing it is.

Even the great emperors enjoy doing this.

Li Zhi's great Dao principles are filled with a sense of immortality. If other cultivators comprehend his great Dao, it will be easy for them to evolve their own great Dao in the direction of Li Zhi's great Dao, thus completely going astray.

Xia Jiuyou seemed to understand, but seeing that many of the ancient ancestor kings who were watching the battle were trying to comprehend Li Zhi's avenue, she asked curiously, "Master, aren't they afraid of being affected?"

Gai Jiuyou suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe they are not afraid."

It can be imagined that, as long as they are not great sages, all the ancient ancestor kings present who have comprehended Li Zhi's great Dao will never be able to become great sages in this lifetime, not to mention whether they will be able to attain enlightenment in the future.

Li Zhi's great path is an elixir of immortality for himself, but a poison of immortality for others.

Once you have experienced that kind of deliciousness, you will involuntarily abandon your own path and turn to pursue that illusory immortality.

Gradually, the Great Sage Hun Tuo also discovered something wrong, and quickly spoke up to remind the ancient ancestor kings who were trying to comprehend the laws of Li Zhi's great Dao.

Many ancestral kings were shocked and then retreated behind the Great Sage Hun Tuo.

With their heart of Tao, they were unknowingly pulled into the state of enlightenment by Li Zhi's laws of the Tao. This was a very scary situation.

It was comparable to the God-crossing Art created by the ruthless emperor. "The demon, the real demon, this peerless evildoer, must not be allowed to continue living." Many ancient ancestor kings had the idea of ​​killing Li Zhi.

But their thoughts were almost written on their faces.

Gai Jiuyou released a pressure comparable to that of the Great Sage, which made them wake up instantly.

At this moment, inside Li Zhi's Dao furnace, the mark of the Holy Dao in the soul of the ancestor king, who was the first one unable to withstand this kind of Dao confrontation, was directly shattered, and all the Dao skills accumulated through thousands of years of hard practice were dissipated in one day.

A huge amount of holy laws poured out from his body, and then were burned by the surrounding Dao fire, and finally turned into nothingness.

It seemed to disappear, but in fact it was all consumed and absorbed by Li Zhi's avenue.

"What a cruel method." Even the Great Sage Hun Tuo couldn't help but comment.

Then he shouted directly at Li Zhi: "Fellow Daoist Changshou, please show mercy. Peace is the most important thing. If you have any disagreements, you can sit down and talk."

"Puff puff……"

Just as he finished speaking, thirteen sounds of the Holy Dao seals being shattered were heard in succession from within the furnace of the Dao, foreshadowing that all the Dao skills of the thirteen ancient ancestor kings had been cut off.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive others when you can. Killing too much will harm the harmony of nature and only increase your karma. They have already been defeated by you, so why not let them buy their lives with immortal treasures. You can also win the friendship of some ancient clans." The Great Sage Hun Tuo said with compassion.

"Crack, snap, crack..."

The holy seals in the souls of another nine ancient ancestor kings were broken, their spiritual abilities quickly dissipated, and then they fainted. They were then taken away and suppressed by Li Zhi.

At this point, inside the furnace of the Great Dao, only the last seven ancestor kings at the eighth or ninth level of the Saint Realm were still struggling to hold on.

"Master Changshou, please spare my life. I am willing to serve you as my master." Soon, an ancestor king from the Shenlu tribe began to beg Li Zhi for mercy.

"Old Lu, you died like a man. You are bringing shame to our entire ancient clans." An ancestor king of the Golden Scale Clan said with hatred on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, since they have already admitted defeat, why don't you be more generous and hire some servants who can help you solve many of your daily chores." Seeing that the ancestral kings no longer insisted, the Great Sage Hun Tuo began to persuade them again.

Li Zhi did not respond. Instead, the Secret Realm of Lunhai emitted a black and white divine light that blessed the Great Dao Furnace. At the same time, two mysterious worlds appeared behind him.

In a world full of vitality, a divine emperor recites mysterious scriptures that seem to reveal the true meaning of life in the world.

In another world filled with the aura of death, a deity named Hou Tu was chanting sutras for rebirth, seemingly saving all the people from death.

The smelting capacity of the Great Dao Melting has been strengthened again.

The holy bodies of the remaining seven ancestor kings were shattered one after another, and the seals of the holy way were destroyed.

Then Li Zhi waved his hand and took it away.

Finally, Li Zhi sat cross-legged in the starry sky, emitting an extremely chaotic aura from his body, with even wisps of chaotic energy emanating from his body.

It gives people the feeling that he is about to explode at any time.

"Alas, why bother? Hurting others will only hurt yourself."

Seeing that Li Zhi's body was eroded by the holy laws of the ancestral kings, as if they had turned into holy shackles that locked him, the Great Sage Hun Tuo sighed.

Then he turned around and left the area.

Other ancient ancestor kings also left one after another.

Soon, the only two people left in the battlefield outside the domain were master and disciple Li Zhi and Gai Jiuyou, who seemed to have suffered injuries.

Seven days passed before Li Zhi's breathing gradually returned to normal.

However, the holy laws of the ancestral kings were like iron chains that bound his body and locked up his soul.

Li Zhi's victory was not as easy as it looked.

If he does not completely digest those holy laws, his future spiritual practice will be unable to make any further progress.

Even if he could completely digest those holy laws, it would not take a very short time, and it would inevitably interrupt his rapid progress in cultivation.

"Thank you, Senior Gai, for protecting me." Li Zhi said to Gai Jiuyou.

"Master Changshou, I have also protected you. How are you going to thank me?" Xia Jiuyou, who was next to Gai Jiuyou, looked at Li Zhi curiously and suddenly spoke.

"Let me give this holy tripod made of nine-day white jade to you, fellow Taoist." Li Zhi took out a holy jade tripod and gave it to Xia Jiuyou.

"Ah!" Xia Jiuyou didn't expect Li Zhi to be so generous and actually give her the holy weapon as a gift, which made her dare not accept it.

"I know that Senior Gai looks down on these holy weapons, so Fellow Daoist Xia, you can take them. You can use them to cook for Senior Gai when you go back. You will be able to do the job." Li Zhi stuffed the Nine Heavens White Jade Cauldron into Xia Jiuyou's hands with a smile.

Xia Jiuyou quickly turned his head and looked at Gai Jiuyou. Gai Jiuyou smiled and said, "Take it. Young friend Changshou has seized the divine treasures of more than 30 ancient ancestor kings in this battle, so naturally he will not be short of this holy weapon."

Then, Li Zhi said, "Senior Gai, why don't you come to my dojo and have a cup of tea?"

Gai Jiuyou nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

He had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Li Zhi, especially after observing Li Zhi's avenue, it seemed that he had amazing attainments in the way of longevity.

Perhaps he could get some inspiration from Li Zhi, which would allow him to live longer, or even find a way to heal his Taoist injuries.

Seeing that the suppression of the Qingdi Avenue between heaven and earth is about to disappear, the cultivator can prove his Dao again.

It would be a lie to say that Gai Jiuyou had no ideas.

Attaining enlightenment and becoming an emperor has always been the goal of his cultivation.

If he had not been trapped by his Dao injury, he would probably have tried to prove his Dao again by now.

According to the lifespan of a ninth-level Quasi-Emperor cultivator, if he were not affected by his Dao injuries, Gai Jiuyou should still have about a thousand years of life left.

It was far from the stage where he looked old, weak and sick as he does now.

Afterwards, they returned to Beidou together.

A star-lit avenue carried the three of them directly back to Li Zhi's dojo.

The surging aura of saintliness filled the air, telling the world accurately and without a doubt that Li Zhi had successfully transcended the calamity and become a saint.
