Chapter 324: Eternal Life, What a Regret

Inside the Blood Seal Valley.

It took Li Zhi a full month to heal his injuries.

Although the ice dragon and fire sparrow that fought before were transformed by laws, their strength is unquestionable.

So powerful that it's terrifying.

If Li Zhi's origin was not strong enough and his fighting power was not lasting enough, he would probably fall under the claws of those two beasts.

Judging from their combat awareness and combat methods, they were obviously not left behind by ordinary monks.

Li Zhi felt that even a great sage-level warrior could not create a law puppet of this level.

This is a medicine garden left behind by a quasi-emperor level strongman. This is Li Zhi’s final judgment.

Moreover, the opponent is not considered a weakling even at the quasi-emperor level.

After recovering his energy and spirit, Li Zhi took out the special earth vein that he had sealed.

After careful observation and research, Li Zhi finally confirmed it.

This earth vein is not a natural earth vein at all, but a earth vein that is integrated with the entire flesh and blood of a quasi-emperor.

That is why the earth veins have an immortal aura, which can support it to produce combat puppets comparable to the level of the Saint King.

At the same time, Li Zhi also discovered many mysterious carvings on the earth veins.

Except for the images of an ice dragon and a fire sparrow, which are still clear, most of the images are blurry and it is impossible to tell what story they are telling.

The reason why the Ice Dragon and the Fire Sparrow are still clear is that they have been refined into puppets of laws, which are responsible for protecting the Divine Medicine Valley from being disturbed by outsiders.

Moreover, Li Zhi discovered a Taoist pattern on the earth veins that can adjust the strength of the Ice Dragon and Fire Sparrow's law puppets according to the strength of the opponent.

The feeling it gave Li Zhi was very similar to the Dao rules of the last blood pool in the first trial field of the human race on the Ancient Starry Road, which allowed cultivators to condense themselves to fight.

Li Zhi had longed for this kind of Taoist pattern for a long time, but had never had the chance to see it. Unexpectedly, he encountered it here.

Apart from this, there is nothing else worth paying attention to on the mysterious earth veins.

Of course, this vein of earth seems to have been integrated with the flesh and blood of the quasi-emperor, and it contains surging divine power.

The divine power was so strong that Li Zhi was quite frightened.

There is no absolute certainty that I can decompose this vein and take out the things inside.

Using the methods of exploring the earth's veins recorded in the "Book of Earth", Li Zhi roughly sensed the things inside the earth's veins.

It seemed to be just pure earth marrow, not even dragon marrow, nor divine source, nor immortal gold, jade or other precious stone materials for refining tools. It was just the mysterious earth marrow rich in surging life essence.

Li Zhi didn't know what the earth marrow was used for.

After sealing the earth vein tightly, Li Zhi placed it in the Hundred Herbs Map to suppress it.

As for the skeletons under the valley, after Li Zhi's observation, he found that they were of many types. There were skeletons of great monsters, skeletons of gods, skeletons of humans, and skeletons of many races that Li Zhi could not name. It seemed that these skeletons used to nourish the magical medicine were collected from all over the universe by the quasi-emperor who opened the medicine garden.

Judging from the scale of the skeletons underground, he is simply competing with the underworld for "business".

After that, Li Zhi never found any more useful information in this vast medicinal garden of mountains and rivers.

Then he left the medicine garden.

When Li Zhi returned to the cave of the two treasure-hunting rats, they had already returned from going out.

Looking at the two of them practicing seriously in seclusion in the cave, it was obvious that they had exchanged the Little Medicine King for the ancient scripture they wanted.

At this moment, they were changing their cultivation, and the aura on their bodies was becoming heavier.

Li Zhi could see that the potential in their bodies was enormous, and the ancient scriptures of the saints seemed insufficient to fully develop their potential.

This made Li Zhi more interested in the past of these two treasure-hunting mice.

Li Zhi did not disturb their practice, but directly used the methods of a saint to search their memories without alarming them.

Soon, Li Zhi understood why they, as treasure-hunting mice, had such great potential.

At the same time, they also learned the secret of their ability to transform into humans.

I have to say, the luck of these two treasure-hunting mice is amazing.

After they escaped from Suzaku City, they ran all the way through the wild mountains, searching for all kinds of treasures hidden in the mountains.

Finally, twenty years ago, when their cultivation was only equivalent to that of humans' God Bridge and their intelligence was not yet fully developed, they encountered a mysterious demon egg in a nearby earth vein.

Following their instinct, they directly swallowed the mysterious demon egg that seemed to be nurtured by the power of the earth veins. Then, after digesting the demon egg, they transformed on the spot.

Moreover, their intelligence is greatly enhanced, comparable to that of the demons who are born in human form.

From the images in their minds, it can be analyzed that the veins of the earth where they encountered the monster egg are very extraordinary.

Li Zhi immediately decided to go and take a look.

Then Li Zhi quietly left their cave.

From beginning to end, the two treasure-hunting rat demons never discovered Li Zhi's whereabouts.

This was the actual situation of the young monk when faced with the saint.

If the saint doesn't want the young monks to know they have been here, even a powerful person will not be able to discover the saint's whereabouts.

Unless that powerful being is the son of an ancient emperor or a cultivator with special talents such as a holy body of the human race.

Otherwise, the spiritual perception of ordinary powerful people would not be able to discover the saints who are trying hard to hide themselves.

This is why they are called ancient sages.

Because ordinary cultivators rarely see such an existence in thousands of years.

After leaving the treasure-hunting rat's cave, Li Zhi didn't walk far before he discovered the rat hole they had dug while treasure hunting.

Li Zhi's spiritual sense reached out and directly saw the scene deep in the earth veins connected to the rat hole.

I have to say that the willpower of those two treasure-hunting rats was very good. With their cultivation level at that time, it would take them quite a while to dig out this rat hole that was almost a thousand miles deep.

Although many places take advantage of natural cracks in the earth.

But it is enough to see their talent.

Li Zhi soon felt a special aura from the underground space deep in the earth's veins, which could only appear when the soul was in nirvana.

It seems that there once was a supreme demon god there, who completed the nirvana of his soul deep in the earth veins and transformed into a brand new soul.

This discovery surprised Li Zhi greatly.

Then he personally came to the depths of the earth vein, and directly released all the saints' divine thoughts to scan every inch of detail of that earth vein.

Soon, he found a small sealed world in the earth veins.

Although the small world was sealed in the earth veins, there was a tiny gap in the seal, as if something had escaped from it.

Then, Li Zhi followed the tiny gap and broke open the sealed small world.

After not feeling any fatal threat, he took out the Xiantian Bagua diagram to protect himself, and then walked into the sealed small world.

It was a small world of only a hundred miles in radius.

There were no living creatures, animals or plants in the small world. Flames were everywhere, as if one had come to a world of fire. The fire essence between heaven and earth was extremely rich, and the entire sea of ​​fire seemed to be formed by the liquid earth fire.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire formed by the magma, there is a small dark island.

Li Zhi felt a bit of the same aura as that of the Immortal Mountain on the island, but the aura was very weak.

It seems that the original body of the island is not an island formed from the sacred mountain cut out from the Immortal Mountain, but an island formed from a mountain peak taken from the sacred cliff cut out from the Great Holy Body.

The more Li Zhi looked at it, the more he felt that it could be connected to a gap on the Holy Cliff.

On that dark island, there stands a lonely and mysterious ancient temple.

The ancient temple has no name and no restrictions, and its entire body is dark red in color.

It seems to be built by a sacred tree born in flames.

Moreover, the door of the hall is open, allowing people to see the situation inside the hall at a glance.

In the center of the hall there is a pool carved from divine fire jade. In the pool there is a pool of red divine liquid that flashes with red light, but the divine liquid is mixed with a terrifying murderous aura.

Li Zhi walked over carefully and found that the murderous aura in the pool seemed to have faded over time and was no longer enough to threaten him.

Then he walked into the temple.

On the walls around him, Li Zhi finally found what he wanted.

This is an ancient temple left behind by a red dragon with the true blood of the Vermillion Bird flowing in its body.

During his lifetime, Chilong was a super master at the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor.

In order to live another life, he chose to practice the supreme magic of the demon race in his later years, and eventually his soul transformed into a brand new divine fetus.

He also cut out the Vermillion Bird bloodline in his body and merged it into the new divine fetus.

He wants to use the power of the divine fetus to live another life as the Vermillion Bird.

Unfortunately, some minor accidents occurred during his final transformation, causing the divine fetus to be damaged, and it could only be nurtured in this small world of sea of ​​fire.

In order to prepare the best cultivation resources for the divine fetus to be born in the future.

He traveled the universe, collecting the corpses of strong men, and used their flesh and blood to cultivate Suzaku grass and divine orchid.

The Vermillion Bird Grass can help the body achieve Nirvana, while the Divine Orchid can help the soul transform.

This is to enable the divine fetus to transform into a level close to that of a pure-blooded Vermillion Bird in the future.

At the same time, when he passed away, he integrated his body into the earth veins to protect the magical herbs he had carefully cultivated.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred along the way. This divine island intercepted from the Holy Cliff suddenly developed an innate murderous aura 30,000 years ago, which caused the divine fetus to be severely damaged again. The fetus had no choice but to leave this small world.

However, after leaving the small world, he found that Beidou's world was not suitable for practicing at all. He could only hide in the divine source and rely on absorbing the essence of the earth veins to eliminate the murderous aura in his body over time.

Twenty years ago, it finally eliminated all the murderous aura in the divine fetus. As long as it was nurtured for a few more years, it would be able to break through the divine source and come out to practice.

But at this moment, it was discovered by two treasure-hunting mice who came to hunt for treasure.

The two treasure-hunting rats did not hesitate to eat up the divine fetus, which was in its weakest state.

The essence of the divine fetus directly allowed the two treasure-hunting rats to break the shackles of their blood and transform into human form.

And he possesses the qualifications of an unrivaled demon king.

After understanding what had happened, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile with pity.

This great demon leader, who had already achieved great success in his cultivation before Emperor Wu Shi became emperor, ended up with this outcome.

Even in Nanling, no legends about him have been heard.

He was not born in the Demon King Palace, but was merely the descendant of a wild dragon in the Nanling Mountains.

However, with his amazing perseverance and talent, he eventually became a quasi-emperor during the last golden age.

After wandering in the universe for eight thousand years, it returned to its roots and returned to Nanling.

He had hoped to use the secret method of the demon race to transform into a divine fetus so that he could fight again in this life. However, he did not expect that the divine fetus would encounter accidents one after another.

In the end, no trace of his body was left.

After restoring the life story of this demon quasi-emperor in his mind, Li Zhi didn't know how to evaluate him.

The fact that Emperor Jinwu was able to successfully achieve Nirvana and rebirth may be just an isolated case.

If you want to achieve immortality and live another life, you will more or less encounter various disasters.

And this quasi-emperor red dragon was defeated by the calamity.

If those two treasure-hunting rats hadn't suddenly intruded, I'm afraid an unparalleled monster would have appeared in Nanling by now.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

In the end he died, killed by two treasure-hunting rats that escaped from Suzaku City.

"Since ancient times, immortality has been full of disasters." Li Zhi sighed slightly.

Then Li Zhi took the small world away directly.

The collection of the quasi-emperor red dragon naturally belonged to Li Zhi.

Just when Li Zhi left the earth vein and was about to return to the Yuantian ancient vein.

Zhu Zhu, who was born in the Suzaku clan, has brought three semi-saints from his clan to the Yuantian ancient vein where the immortal medicine sealed by his Suzaku clan was rooted, and set up a powerful holy magic array.

Even if the Saint King goes in, he will not be able to come out.

"Miss, the formation has been set up, but the scholar in white seems to have left. We sent people to inquire everywhere but couldn't find any trace of him." A maid came to Zhu Zhu and reported.

"Keep sending people to observe around the ancient vein, he will definitely find this place. The fact that he was willing to use the Ancient Medicine King to exchange for the information about the place where the elixir of immortality took root shows how eager that person is for that kind of precious land. I have already spread the news that as long as he is still in Nanling, he will definitely return to the Yuantian Ancient Vein." There was an obvious flash of anxiety in Zhu Zhu's eyes.

Her heart had been beating wildly lately, and she had a vague feeling that she had lost an opportunity that was extremely important to her forever.

If I can't make up for it from Li Zhi, it's hard to say whether I can reach Wu Fei's level in this life.

Although she looked down on Wu Fei from the bottom of her heart, she had to admit that Wu Fei's talent was comparable to hers.

Before this, she was able to defeat Wu Fei only because she relied on her natural talent to restrain Wu Fei's musicality.

Moreover, since the end of the Spiritual Medicine Conference, Wu Fei had been intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from her, which made her realize that she had not truly earned Wu Fei's admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with Nan Yao's position in Wu Fei's heart, she is still far behind.

If she wants to be on par with Nan Yao, or even surpass him, she must complete the rebirth of Suzaku and realize the transformation of the origin of life. Only then will her talent be able to support the idea in her mind.

The Demon King Palace has been leading the way for long enough.

It is time for a superpower that can intimidate the world to emerge in Nanling.

The Suzaku bloodline she carries is enough for her to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

According to legend, the pure-blooded Suzaku is a fairy spirit, which makes people inevitably make associations.

She became more and more anxious to capture Li Zhi.
