Chapter 332 The First Level of the Human Race

"Ow..."

The wild beast roared, the void trembled, and murderous aura was rising, as if it wanted to shatter the starry sky and tear the sky apart.

As soon as they stepped onto the ancient road leading to the first level of the human race, they encountered a group of monks riding on iron-blooded war beasts. They passed directly over Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, giving them a warning.

He didn't care at all whether this action would bring him fatal disaster.

"Jiuyo..."

Immediately afterwards, there was another long cry of ferocious birds and a surging heat wave, as if a sun was rushing towards them from behind, causing Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi to turn their heads and look involuntarily.

I saw a strange bird with terrifying flames all around its body, carrying a woman in a fiery red dress flying from a distance, and then flew to the first level of the human race as if no one was around.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi frowned slightly.

But Li Zhi looked at those people with interest, then shook his head slightly.

The momentum is extraordinary, but unfortunately the strength is not good enough, and it's just an embroidered pillow.

Afterwards, they met many monks who were either riding ancient beasts or traveling alone.

However, without exception, these monks who came from different directions all carried iron-blooded murderous aura, as if they had experienced many disasters before arriving here.

Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately slowed down their pace and carefully observed the monks passing by them.

"Is this the genius of the human race who has embarked on the strongest ancient trial road?" A glimmer of high fighting spirit flashed in the eyes of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, as if she wanted to compete with them.

"Keep calm and don't be infected by their momentum. When embarking on the strongest ancient trial road, the most important thing a cultivator should abandon is passion and the over-emphasis on winning or losing. Never measure your own strength by the strength of others. What you have to do is to surpass yourself at the previous level every time you move forward." Li Zhi said calmly.

Li Zhi's voice was filled with a calming power, which immediately calmed down the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, who was already full of passion and was planning to compete with the geniuses from all the star fields.

It wasn't that Li Zhi intended to pour cold water on her, but the talents of the cultivators they met were really not that good.

Each of them seems to have the aura of a peerless genius, but unfortunately, in Li Zhi's opinion, only a few of them can become great sages in the future.

On the contrary, there are a lot of fancy things.

There are 108 levels for the human race. If a cultivator can gain something in each level and surpass himself in the previous level, then when he reaches the end, he will definitely achieve extraordinary results.

However, if your mind is not on yourself, but on defeating others, you may collapse halfway through.

In fact, even if someone fails to achieve the Dao Fruit at the first level, they can still grasp the various trials on the ancient road and eventually complete a complete transformation.

The strongest ancient trial road seems to be competing with the strong in the world, but in fact it is competing with oneself.

Fighting with those monks who participated in the Ancient Road Trial was just a means to more conveniently verify the gains from practice.

When embarking on the road of trials, the faster the better.

The fierce battles and fights with the monks in the heavens are just superficial.

Making your tomorrow self better than your today self is the true meaning of embarking on the ancient path of human experience.

If you cannot make yourself better today than you were yesterday, it means that you have walked this path in vain.

A cultivator who practices for the sake of practicing will definitely not go far on the road of the great Dao.

Moreover, a group of young geniuses gathered together, almost all of them were the best in various ancient stars.

It is most likely to stimulate a competitive mentality among each other.

It is most likely to breed a fighting mentality of who is stronger.

It is most likely to develop an inexplicable invincible mentality of wanting to sweep away all rivals in the ancient road.

However, all of the above mentalities are taboos for those who practice Taoism.

These are all fantasies that easily lead people to lose themselves in the illusion of being invincible, thus causing them to ignore the essence of constantly surpassing themselves on the ancient path.

Seeing that Yao Chi Saintess's mentality had returned to peace, Li Zhi continued, "Let's go. With so many cultivators rushing to the first pass of the human race, it seems that we have come at a good time. It should be the day of the opening. If we go too late, we may miss the opportunity to enter the city."

Afterwards, the two continued on their journey and encountered many arrogant and self-centered monks.

But some people noticed Li Zhi and Yao Chi Saintess. When a young Taoist priest with a feather fan and a long scarf passed by them, he suddenly slowed down his pace and came directly to Li Zhi and Yao Chi Saintess and said, "I am Qing Yuanzi, nice to meet you two Taoist friends."

At the same time, he also used a very obscure magical power to explore the relationship between Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

Unfortunately, he met Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, both of whom gave him a feeling of being unable to see through them.

"My name is Wang Yao, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi nodded slightly in return.

"I wonder where you two fellow Taoists are from? The road ahead is dangerous, so why don't we travel together?" Qing Yuanzi's eyes were clear, and his whole body exuded an aura that made people feel close to him.

"No need." Yao Chi Saint Maiden refused directly.

"That's such a pity." The young Taoist seemed a little disappointed, and said: "Originally, I was thinking of traveling further with you two Taoist friends. In fact, I..."

At this moment, an extremely sharp aura came from the void not far behind them, as if a divine sword was breaking through the air.

"Qing Yuanzi, you are misleading others again." Then a woman's voice came from the void, which made Qing Yuanzi's face change slightly.

"My two fellow Taoists, we will meet again later." Qing Yuanzi immediately rushed towards the first level of the human race as if he was escaping.

Then, a female cultivator dressed in tight clothes and carrying a jade sword appeared beside Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

The female cultivator had a high ponytail and looked heroic. There were three divine rings covering her body, which seemed to be composed of countless tiny sword energies.

After seeing the Saint of Yao Chi, the woman immediately said, "Sister, the Emperor's Road has been paved with corpses since ancient times. You must be cautious when you set foot on this road. There are no friends on this road, only opponents. That Qing Yuanzi is a fake Taoist priest with a sanctimonious appearance. You must not be fooled by his appearance. He got an ancient dual cultivation technique from somewhere, and is trying to trick talented female cultivators into dual cultivation with him."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist." Yao Chi Saintess said.

"The number of us female cultivators is not as many as those of male cultivators, so it is only natural for us to help each other." said the female cultivator.

"May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

She had already seen that this sword cultivator was already at the semi-saint level, and seemed like he could break through to become a saint at any time.

"My name is Xuan Jian, and I come from the ancient star Feixian. Where is my sister from?" Xuan Jian asked. She seemed to be very outgoing and kind-hearted.

"I come from the ancient star Beidou." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not hide her origins and said directly.

"You are actually from the Emperor Burial Star?" Xuan Jian said with a little surprise.

"I come from the ancient star Beidou. Is there anything wrong with that?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi curiously.

"I can only wish you good luck." Xuan Jian didn't want to say anything more, and just rode away in a dashing manner with his sword.

"Changshou, why did Xuanjian react like that when he heard that I came from the ancient star Beidou?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi turned her head and asked Li Zhi beside her.

It seems that Li Zhi's presence is very low. Whether it is Qing Yuanzi or Xuan Jian, when they come to them, they will subconsciously ignore Li Zhi's existence. "Because the cultivators who come out of the Beidou Ancient Star are likely to become the public enemy of the cultivators in various domains." Li Zhi smiled.

"Why?" Yao Chi Saint asked curiously.

"Because Beidou's inheritance is too strong, it is several levels higher than the inheritance of most cultivators on ancient stars." Li Zhi said.

It is human nature to be jealous of others' talents and abilities, and monks are no exception.

Moreover, the inheritances of the great emperors on the ancient star Beidou are too numerous to count, but this is not the case on other ancient stars.

Except for some cultivators who came from the main life stars such as Ziwei, Gou Chen and Tongtian, it is difficult for cultivators on other ancient stars to access the complete inheritance of the Great Emperor.

Naturally, they would regard the cultivators from the ancient Beidou Star as their biggest competitors.

"Then has my identity been exposed?" Yao Chi Saint Maiden said with a little surprise.

Before this, most of the cultivators they met on the road had already reached the level of great kings, or even half-saints.

And she had just passed the ninth level of the king's heavenly tribulation, and still had a long way to go before becoming a semi-saint.

"It doesn't matter. There is someone on the road ahead who is more dazzling than you. He will attract most of the attention of cultivators from various domains." Li Zhi said indifferently.

"You mean Ye Fan is just ahead?"

When it comes to the ability to stir up trouble, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi subconsciously thought of Ye Fan.

Although Saint Son Yaoguang, Zhonghuang, Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue and others have successively embarked on the ancient path of the human race, when it comes to the ability to do things, they are all no match to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan is a disaster star. Wherever he goes, there will be war. This is the consensus of many forces on the ancient star Beidou.

"It probably won't be long before we meet him on the ancient road." Li Zhi said with a smile.

Talking and laughing all the way, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi arrived at the first level of the human race.

The so-called first level of the human race is an ancient city located in the starry sky. The ancient city is extremely magnificent, located in the starry sky, with a myriad of atmospheres, and faint sounds of dragons and phoenixes can be heard, which is the embodiment of the charm of the avenue, giving people a sense of eternal and immortal energy.

The magnificent and mysterious ancient city is extremely large, and its city walls are like mountains, stretching endlessly.

The city tower is tall and magnificent, with a pair of heavy city gates tightly closed, as if it can block the charge of thousands of troops. The city walls are covered with axe marks, sword holes, and mottled ancient relics, which can hardly conceal the heavy sense of history and atmosphere, and add a sense of desolation.

At the same time, it also indicates that it is not only an ancient city located in the starry sky, but also an iron-blooded fortress.

On the city wall, Taoist patterns are faintly visible. This is the first city on the strongest trial road of the human race. Naturally, there are magic arrays engraved on the walls to protect the peace of this place. It has experienced eternal killing and is immortal.

The magnificent city gate is ten feet high and built with a rare stone. Some of the sword marks and hammer marks on it are shocking, and there is a faint breath of the ancient great sage flowing through it.

The moonlight is shining, the starlight is like a waterfall, and the silvery-white galaxy is hanging, making the whole ancient city look mysterious and grand, as if it is the residence of gods.

In front of the ancient city, there is a vast wilderness, with wild beasts roaring, exotic birds circling, and monks from all sides sitting in different places.

Almost all of them adopted an attitude of self-centeredness.

Monks like Li Zhi who travel together with the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi are a minority.

Of course, there were also many monks gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.

"After five years, the city gates are finally opening." Someone whispered. It seemed that they had been here for quite some time.

Before arriving at the ancient city, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not continue to communicate, but just found a place to stay and listened to other people's discussions.

"The first level of the human race is opened every six months to five years. I heard that more than 400 people showed up the last time it was opened, but this time there were less than 200 people. It seems that the seed-level masters have already set out in advance."

"It has been nearly five years since the last time we switched it on. I wonder if there are any seed-level experts among us. Otherwise, even if the five-year period is up, I don't know if it will be switched on or not."

"Have you seen that female swordsman covered by three divine rings? It is said that she has mastered the ancient "Flying Immortal Sword Art". She walked out of Feixian Star and killed countless enemies along the way. She must be a seed-level strongman."

"Besides that female swordsman, are there any other strong men of seed level? I heard that there were seven or eight strong men of seed level who appeared during the last switch."

"That woman in the red dress is said to be from a Vulcan planet. She should also be a seed-level expert. The city gate has been closed for five years this time. I'm afraid the number of seed-level experts will not be less than last time."

"I don't think so. If there were really so many strong men at the seed level, the city gates would have been opened several times in the past five years. There would be no need for us to wait outside the city for three or four years."

……

A few days later, before the city gates opened, a total of 313 monks arrived at the first level of the human race.

Li Zhi took a careful inventory and found that among this group of people, there were about a hundred semi-saint level warriors.

The cultivation level of most cultivators is between the sixth level of the king and the great king level.

As for those who have transcended the tribulation and become saints, including himself, there are only three in total.

The other two monks who had already become saints seemed to be relatively young, and were probably approaching the upper age limit for being allowed to embark on the Ancient Trial Road.

Moreover, those two ancient saints were very low-key, without a trace of ostentation.

"Enter the customs!"

Suddenly, a divine thought came from the city wall, resounding like the sound of a huge bell, shaking the blood of many people and trembling their souls, as if the soldiers guarding the city wanted to give everyone a warning.

Li Zhi didn't feel anything about this.

As the ancient city gate slowly opened, a rich aura of heaven and earth blew over, as if an independent little world had unveiled its mysterious veil for everyone.

The crowd, either on horseback or on foot, began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

The ancient city exudes the breath of ancient times. It is built with gray-brown boulders and is magnificent and awe-inspiring. A team of soldiers is guarding the city walls.

Although the number of soldiers was not large, they were all wearing armor that shone with cold light, with long spears that could split the sky and iron spears that could cut through the air. They looked like a team of heavenly soldiers, glaring at everyone with eager eyes.

There is a murderous aura about them, as if they have conquered many star regions and killed countless powerful people. Now they are guarding this place and no one dares to offend them, like a group of ferocious beasts lurking here.

Apparently due to the lack of enough strong seed-level warriors, the process of entering the city was relatively peaceful.

But Li Zhi could faintly hear the discussions of the soldiers on the city wall.

"Another bunch of rubbish has arrived."

“The quality is really getting worse and worse.”

"Another group of people coming here to die."

Various discussions arose one after another, and generally speaking, they were all disdainful of this group of people.

It seems that there is no genius among this group of people who they can take seriously.
