Chapter 308: Preaching and Gathering

Chapter 308: Preaching and Gathering
The Seven Star Dojo is located on the Changshou Peak.

Jin Ming and the little Qilin beast were punished by Li Zhi, which made everyone laugh.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi's cheeks were even more flushed, adding a bit of radiance to her peerless beauty.

However, everyone's mind is not on these gossips.

They all didn't quite understand why Li Zhi wanted to casually spread the scriptures that he had worked so hard to create.

Especially teaching the descendants of ancient emperors.

Isn't this a clear indication of aiding the enemy?
In the end, it was Hei Huang who couldn't help but ask first: "Master Li, why do you want to spread the ancient scriptures you practice in public? Aren't you afraid that those people will find your flaws by studying your ancient scriptures and find ways to restrain you?"

Then, the Saintess of Yaochi also said: "Changshou, except for the Saint Prince, every descendant of the Ancient Emperor has a large group of ancient clan ancestor kings standing behind him. You have killed more than thirty ancestor kings outside the domain before, and have already forged life-and-death feuds with the ancient clans. This time they will bring back the scriptures you practiced, and they will definitely study them repeatedly, and even refine forbidden weapons specifically for you."

Finally, Duan De also said, "Li Zhi, although I trust you, I'm afraid you haven't thought this through. Even the great emperors of the ancient times would not spread the scriptures they cultivated. Those who came to listen to your preaching today are all extraordinary people with extraordinary comprehension. It's probably not that easy to convince them through preaching. Moreover, they will definitely spread the scriptures you cultivated everywhere. It is estimated that it won't be long before countless people will start to study you, the long-lived Taoist priest shrouded in a mysterious veil."

Facing the concerns of the three people, Li Zhi showed no worry at all. Instead, he asked, "Which scripture do you think is the most powerful scripture?"

"Of course it is the 'Infinite Sutra' of the Great Emperor Infinite. The person in this world who is qualified to practice the Infinite Sutra has not been born yet." Heihuang said without thinking.

"Little Li Zhi, did you do something to the scriptures? But from my perspective, there is nothing wrong with your scriptures." Duan De said with some doubt.

"Changshou, do you have any plans?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It is said that one person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long. The reason why I spread the scriptures is to use the wisdom of the world to improve the scriptures. After all kinds of scrutiny and research by the people of this world, it will definitely reveal things in the scriptures that I have not considered, so that I can complete the revision of the scriptures and forge a perfect scripture. In the future, "The Great Dao Longevity Sutra" will not only be a scripture that has been tested by heaven and earth, but also a scripture that has been tested by all spirits."

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, they were stunned. They had never thought that revising the scriptures could be done in this way.

"This is unreliable. How can you guarantee that they will tell you the flaws after they find them?" asked the big black dog.

"Just with this." A miniature pillar of the Great Dao appeared in Li Zhi's hand. Countless mysterious things similar to the power of faith flowed in the pillar, like the source of the Great Dao.

"This is a secret technique I discovered after I comprehended the source of the Tao. As long as someone discovers a flaw in my Tao, the flaw will be captured by the omnipresent Tao of heaven and earth, and then fed back to me, allowing me to repair the flaw in time." Li Zhi explained to the three.

"Good man, are you using everyone as tools?" Duan De looked Li Zhi up and down. He was stunned by Li Zhi's bold move.

"In fact, I am also imitating the process of the ancient emperors in creating the imperial scriptures. The imperial scriptures of the ancient emperors are almost perfect scriptures, and like the laws of heaven and earth, there is no flaw in them." Li Zhi said.

After achieving enlightenment, the ancient emperors would almost always revise the scriptures they created before they achieved enlightenment. With the help of the Heavenly Heart Seal, those scriptures would approach perfection, just like the laws of heaven and earth, without any flaws.

The great way represented by each imperial scripture represents a state of great perfection in the mortal universe.

This is also an important reason why the emperor’s own children can often cultivate to another level of enlightenment very easily.

The essence of the Tao of cultivators at an alternative level of enlightenment can be roughly equated with the essence of the Tao of all things in heaven and earth.

Li Zhi wanted to quickly narrow the gap between the scripture he created and the Imperial Scripture, so naturally he had to use extraordinary means.

Relying on the wisdom of all living beings is undoubtedly an extremely efficient means.

Wisdom is different from cultivation. Sometimes a mortal can be wiser than a cultivator.

Unlike the cultivation level of monks, one can achieve advancement through hard practice.

Wisdom is often something that is difficult to quantify, and it will not continue to improve as your cultivation level improves.

Wisdom can only be improved through soul transformation and self-enlightenment, and has no linear mapping relationship with the level of cultivation.

Li Zhi never thought that just because he could create the "Tao Longevity Sutra", his wisdom was greater than anyone else in the world.

The wisdom of all living beings is infinite. If we can make good use of it, it will definitely bring immeasurable benefits to our own spiritual practice.

For this reason, Li Zhi missed the virtual world of the ancient immortal era very much.

That is the ultimate treasure of spiritual practice that gathers the wisdom of all living beings.

Moreover, Li Zhi had another consideration in spreading the scriptures, which was to gather the great fortune of all living beings.

The more monks comprehend his scriptures, the more great fortune will accumulate for him.

If you want to become the ancestor of Taoism, how can you become the ancestor of Taoism if you don’t spread the great Dao that you have cultivated?

In the ancient world, Hongjun was called the Taoist Patriarch because he preached the Tao for three thousand years in Zixiao Palace.

Li Zhi is still far from reaching that level due to the limitations of his cultivation realm, but spreading the great scriptures he has cultivated will do more good than harm in the long run.

He naturally knew that this move was fraught with danger, especially since he had just killed more than thirty ancestral kings in the battlefield outside the domain.

Although the saint-level ancestor kings had the lowest status and were the largest in number among the ancient clan's ancestor kings, the one-time consumption of more than thirty ancestor kings was enough to make them feel painful.

However, the death of the sage-level ancestor king did not cause any serious damage to the ancient clan.

Especially during the continuous recovery of the Beidou world, not only have cultivators in the major human forces successively achieved success in becoming kings, and even transcended tribulations to become saints, but there are even more people within the ancient tribes who have achieved success in becoming kings, and transcended tribulations to become saints.

Powerful people at the level of ancestor kings are being born continuously at a speed that was previously unimaginable.

That is to say, it is not so easy to achieve the great sainthood.

The number of great saints among the ancient myriad races is still rare.

As the recovery process of heaven and earth accelerates, the death of ancestral kings at the saint level will become the norm, unless it is a great sage-level cultivator.

It will attract less and less attention.

However, in today's world, many people's cognition has not changed in time, so they take the death of saints very seriously.

In fact, in this golden age, the upper limit that cultivators can reach will generally be raised by one or two major realms. Although it is not yet possible to reach the level where saints are everywhere, great saints are everywhere, and only quasi-emperors can shake.

But there is indeed no shortage of powerful people at the saint level in the world.

After Li Zhi's explanation, whether it was the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, Duan Deyi, or the big black dog, all of them had a look of confusion on their faces.

They have never seriously observed the changes in the world from this perspective.

In fact, it is not just them, the cultivators of all ancient tribes are the same.

I have not yet adapted to looking at problems from a developmental perspective.

Especially places like the Ancient Star of Beidou where all the laws of heaven and earth are recovering rapidly.

The speed of change of the world even exceeded the cognitive speed of most cultivators. Li Zhi was in the Seven Star Dojo, feeling the changes of the world and the myriad ways, and his feelings were particularly obvious.

This transformation process will reach its peak when the path to immortality is opened.

After that, the activity level of the myriad laws of the Big Dipper world will stabilize, and the current cheating-like effect of peeking at the changes of the avenue in Li Zhi's dojo will disappear.

"Well, since you have considered everything, I am relieved. I have some important things to do, so I will not stay here any longer."

Finally, Duan De said with great satisfaction, as if he had seen a student who was better than his teacher.

"Master Li, you are playing with fire." The big black dog still felt that Li Zhi's approach was a bit too aggressive. He almost revealed his most important trump card in advance. If an accident happened, there would be no chance of a comeback.

Afterwards, Heihuang left with Duan De.

After sending Duan De and Hei Huang away, Yao Chi Saint asked, "Changshou, the ancient starry sky road of Qishi Mansion has been opened. This time is different from the past. The ancient starry sky road has been opened several times in succession. When do you plan to set foot on the ancient starry sky road? Now Nan Yao, Xi Bodhisattva, Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, Pangbo and others have set foot on the ancient starry sky road one after another. Yaoguang also set foot on the ancient starry sky road a year ago."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi came here, not only to congratulate Li Zhi, but also to ask him whether he had set foot on the ancient starry road.

Among those who set out on the Ancient Starry Sky Road, not one of them did so after becoming a saint; they all set out on the Ancient Starry Sky Road as kings.

The Holy Land of Yao Chi originally had no plan to let the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi set foot on the Ancient Starry Road, but if Li Zhi accompanied her, that would be a different story.

For the Saint Lady of Yao Chi, training on the ancient starry road may allow her to be reborn and have a higher ceiling.

If one practices in the Yao Chi Holy Land step by step, becoming a saint or a saint king will not be a problem for the Yao Chi Saintess, but whether she can become a great saint in the future is a big question mark.

If one can successfully walk through the ancient road of the human race and reach the end of the ancient road, the probability of becoming a great sage in the future will increase by several times, and it is even possible to become a quasi-emperor.

"I will not leave Beidou for the time being. Perhaps when my practice encounters a real bottleneck, I will choose to leave the competition and embark on the ancient starry sky road for training." Li Zhi said.

According to his plan, he will not leave Beidou until the road to becoming an immortal is opened.

But after becoming a saint, he found that the effect of his retreat in the field was not as good as before and was not as efficient as expected.

The speed of the heaven and earth's revival was very fast for most cultivators, and they didn't even have time to react. However, for Li Zhi, it was a little slow.

Li Zhi was thinking whether he should come up with a way to leave a Taoist body in the Taoist temple that could capture and record the changes in the universe, and then let his real body step onto the ancient starry road to gain experience.

However, he had just passed the tribulation and became a saint, and had not had time to think about this matter seriously.

It would be great if you had a piece of divine purple gold that had been refined to the spiritual realm and awakened the mystery of immortal gold.

The Divine Mark Purple Gold can better capture and imprint the changing process of the universe and myriad things, even more comprehensive and detailed than his own comprehension.

Unfortunately, although he had obtained several kinds of fairy gold, he had never encountered the divine purple gold.

Afterwards, Li Zhi looked at the Saintess of Yao Chi with some curiosity and asked, "Are you also planning to set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road for training?"

"In your eyes, am I not qualified to set foot on the Ancient Starry Road?" Yao Chi Saint Maiden suddenly said angrily.

"That's not what I meant." Li Zhi said quickly, but he felt very strange in his heart. Why did Yao Chi Saint suddenly become like a little fairy? It was not realistic. With her qualifications, if it was in the past, she would not be enough to compete for the three places in Qishi Mansion.

"What I mean is, are the seniors of Yao Chi willing to let you embark on the adventure of the ancient starry road?" Li Zhi continued.

"You mean that my qualifications are very poor." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi expressed Li Zhi's true thoughts.

"That's not what I meant. Talent can be changed through acquired training, but it's not a decisive thing. I mean..."

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Yao Chi Saintess said, "You don't have to say anything. I know my talent, so I want to go on the road with you. Didn't you say that you don't care much about the fights and wins and losses on the Ancient Starry Sky Road? So I want to go through some training with you and experience how much impact walking the Ancient Starry Sky Road has on a cultivator."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I see. Well, I'll let you know when I plan to set foot on the Ancient Starry Sky Road."

After receiving Li Zhi's affirmative answer, Yao Chi Saint Lady immediately showed a bright smile and said, "Then I will wait for your news in Yao Chi."

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi said goodbye and left.

"Master, do you really want to take the Saintess of Yao Chi with you to embark on the Ancient Starry Sky Road? Will she cause trouble for you?"

The ancient starry sky road has long been no secret. Li Zhi's four maids all know the dangers of the ancient road, so Meng Zhang asked.

Li Zhi said: "She can't implicate me. If she can implicate me, it only means that my cultivation is not enough. On the Ancient Starry Sky Road, there are many examples of cultivators who are not talented enough and choose to follow the strong. Most of them can also use the power to walk to the end of the Ancient Starry Sky Road. Although they may not be able to leave their names on the crystal monument at the end of the ancient road, walking the entire Ancient Starry Sky Road will still bring great benefits to the cultivators."

The four maids seemed to understand, and then Li Zhi returned to the hall to rest.

On the way to the Central Region, the big black dog who was arguing with Duan De suddenly barked "Woof woof".

"Dog, why are you crazy? You scared me." Duan De was frightened by Heihuang's roar and almost fell off the clouds.

"Old Duan, I just remembered something very important. It seems like we have missed a great opportunity." Heihuang circled around Duan De anxiously.

"What opportunity? Stop first and talk about it." Duan De was almost confused by Hei Huang.

"Just now at Li Zhi's dojo. He said that he had comprehended the source of the Tao and figured out a method of understanding flaws." Hei Huang's eyes widened and he even drooled.

"Li Zhi did say that. What's the matter? Do you have any ideas?" Duan De didn't quite understand what Hei Huang wanted to say.

"Old Duan, the key point is the method. The key point is that he has the legendary source of Tao in his hands." Heihuang was anxious to return to Li Zhi's dojo.

"The Source of Tao? That kid actually has such a treasure in his hand." Duan De's eyes lit up.

"Old Duan, what are you waiting for? Let's go back and find him." Hei Huang urged. Although his relationship with Li Zhi seemed okay on the surface, it was far less close than the relationship between Duan De and Li Zhi.

Duan De shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's just the source of Taoism. I don't care about that kind of stuff."

"You don't want it, but I do." Heihuang said anxiously.

"If you want him, then go find him." Duan De said with a smile.

"Are you still a brother?" Hei Huang was very anxious and shouted. In front of Li Zhi, Hei Huang always felt like he was being seen through, as if all his thoughts could not be hidden from Li Zhi, which made him feel very uncomfortable. It was far from the relaxed and carefree feeling when he was with Ye Fan and others.

"You are a dog and I am a human, how can we be brothers?" Duan De laughed loudly, then flew towards the Central Region without looking back.

"Fatty Duan, wait for me." Heihuang hurriedly chased after him.

Then, a funny scene appeared in the sky above the Southern Region. A big black dog was chasing a fat Taoist priest.
