Chapter 334: Many Corpses on the Emperor's Road

The starlight is like a waterfall, and the sky is like a curtain.

An island more magnificent than any ancient star hovers quietly in the starry sky.

Everyone only felt a breath of vicissitudes of life coming towards them, and they didn't know how many catastrophes it had gone through to give birth to this breath.

The Holy Island of Death, as the trial site for the first stage of the ancient road of the human race, is naturally extraordinary.

It has endless legends. It was once a place where the ancestors of the human race fought bloody battles. Countless masters have died on the island throughout the ages. Even supreme beings have shed blood on the island, leaving behind traces of the eternal avenue.

The monks who come to participate in the trial need to comprehend the immortal avenue before they can continue on their journey.

It not only tests the monks' understanding, but also tests the resonance between the monks and the ancestors of the human race.

For these geniuses from various domains who are able to embark on the ancient path of the human race, the test of the first level is not difficult. After all, if they don’t have this level of understanding, they simply cannot get here.

However, whether one can obtain the first level of luck depends on the individual.

In the cold universe, starlight was shining, and 313 trial participants, led by the commander-in-chief, arrived at the Holy Island of Death.

The commander-in-chief said to everyone solemnly: "The trial field is about to open, everyone be prepared. Here you will truly begin your own path to enlightenment. Whether you can become an emperor who will amaze the world for all eternity depends on your performance and luck."

The commander-in-chief then explained to everyone the various arrangements on the Holy Island. The island was divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas. The outer area was divided into forty-nine areas in total, plus the central forbidden area inside, for a total of fifty areas.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief warned everyone that the Central Forbidden Land was a death trial field, and existence there meant certain death for most trial-takers. If they wanted to live longer, they should not think about challenging opponents of higher levels.

There are mysterious barriers between the forty-nine outer areas that are difficult to break. Once you choose a region, it is difficult to cross the border once you go deep into it. Otherwise, if you break the barrier, you will be sealed with millions of jin of shackles.

After listening to the commander-in-chief's explanation, everyone's expressions became more and more serious. Although everyone had more or less understood the situation of the trial field before arriving, they were still shocked by the trial field after they actually arrived here.

Just after the commander-in-chief finished his introduction, a huge roar came from the wild mountains and forests on the island, and the terrifying mental pressure rushed directly into the starry sky, as if warning these trial-takers.

"Ow..."

The terrifying holy power, violent and overbearing, made many people change their faces. There were actually holy beasts living on the Fallen Saint Island. This was a fatal threat to the vast majority of people who had not yet become saints. If they were not careful, they would probably become food for the beasts.

At the same time, no one knew whether the previous trialists had angered the sacred beasts living on the island. If the previous trialists had angered those sacred beasts, it would be a disaster for these later comers.

Feeling the several powerful holy powers rising from the island, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of most of the trial-takers.

I was afraid that I would be unlucky and encounter a mad sacred beast after arriving on the island.

Xuan Jian, surrounded by a layer of sharp sword energy, looked eager to try, and then he rushed to the Holy Island of Death without looking back, and went towards the first area.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said to the Saintess of Yaochi: "I'm leaving first. Be careful, we will meet at the 50th District."

Then he strolled towards the 49th district of the Holy Island of the Dead.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi followed closely behind and also flew towards the 33rd district on the Holy Island of Death.

Someone takes the lead and others naturally follow, but most people enter the island in groups of three or five.

It seemed like it had been discussed in advance.

Only a very small number of monks enter the Holy Island of the Dead alone.

More than three hundred people were scattered in forty-nine areas, with an average of less than ten people in each area. Compared to the vast Divine Island, they were simply insignificant.

After entering the island, Li Zhi discovered that it was an island full of wild atmosphere.

Between heaven and earth, there is a primitive and ancient atmosphere, with towering ancient peaks, tall mountains, towering old trees, vigorous vitality, and many ancient and exotic species living in the mountains and forests.

But there is no trace of any human building here.

Li Zhi immediately spread out his overwhelming divine consciousness and conducted a full-scale scan of the 49th district.

Although the Holy Island is comparable to an ancient star, it is just an ordinary ancient star, and its overall area is far smaller than that of a region of the Beidou ancient star.

Under Li Zhi's overwhelming spiritual scan, everything in the 49th area was reflected in his mind, even the locations of various spiritual medicines were clearly visible.

However, most of the spiritual medicines are thousand-year-old, and Li Zhi did not find any spiritual medicine that is over ten thousand years old here.

It seemed that they had been picked up by the previous waves of trial participants.

The terrifying pressure of the divine thoughts also scared the various ancient and exotic beasts living in Area 49, causing them to flee back to their caves.

Although no ancient medicine of the King of Medicine level was obtained, Li Zhi discovered many relatively fresh traces of battles, as well as some destroyed forests.

After making sure that there was nothing of interest in Area 49, Li Zhi sat directly on an ordinary large rock and began to comprehend the great way between heaven and earth.

Soon, he felt a special aura of the Tao, pure and natural, as if explaining the way of heaven, earth and nature.

In just half an hour, Li Zhi understood the profound meaning of the Great Dao, which is a great immortal work suitable for all cultivators to learn from and forge their own path.

However, Li Zhi had already understood the way of nature from the Great Emperor's Dao Diagram left by the Emperor Taihuang.

The natural laws of this place were only of some reference value to him.

Then, Li Zhi broke through the barriers between areas and entered the 48th area.

At this time, there were only three trial-takers in Area 48, and they were all seriously comprehending the great Dao.

Li Zhi did not disturb them. After comprehending the avenue in the 48th district, he found that it was similar to the avenue he comprehended in the 49th district, but slightly different.

Seems to be part of the natural way.

The outer area of ​​the first level trial field for the human race is relatively not dangerous, and it mainly tests the cultivator's ability to comprehend the natural world.

After comprehending the avenue of the 48th district, Li Zhi entered the 47th district, and two more shackles appeared on his body.

Each shackle weighs millions of pounds, as if walking with shackles weighing millions of pounds.

However, the shackles weighing a mere million pounds had no effect on Li Zhi.

He continued to move forward, comprehending the great Dao while observing the strengths and weaknesses of those taking the trial.

Unfortunately, there is not a single cultivator who could catch his eye, and most of them have the talent of a saint.

With their qualifications, not many people can become Saint Kings in the future.

However, being weak has its advantages, which is that conflicts are relatively rare.

Fighting occurred only in a few isolated areas.

It was not until Li Zhi entered Area 33 where the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was located that he encountered a more intense fight.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi is being besieged by six monks.

Li Zhi had no intention of intervening. Among those monks who besieged the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, none of them had practiced the Emperor's Scripture. They all practiced the Great Holy Scripture.

The secret arts of the Western Emperor mastered by the Saint of Yao Chi are enough to suppress them.

However, Li Zhi was very curious about why the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was besieged, so he began to search in this area.

See if there is a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind it.

Li Zhi opened his third eye and looked around, then he saw Qing Yuanzi and a female cultivator named Hongchou hiding in the dark.

At this moment, the two of them were staring at the battlefield with sharp eyes.

"The cultivators born from the Emperor Burial Star are indeed extraordinary. Wang Yao was besieged by six cultivators of the same level, but he held out for such a long time and did not even lose the upper hand." Qing Yuanzi's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Qing Yuanzi, are you sure she has practiced the ancient scripture of the Great Emperor?" The woman next to Qing Yuanzi asked with some doubt in her eyes.

"There is absolutely no mistake. My pet heard the mysterious chanting sound coming from her Taoist palace. Only by practicing the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor can such a strange phenomenon occur. As long as we capture her, you and I will have the opportunity to witness the true appearance of the Emperor's Scripture." A trace of extreme desire flashed in Qing Yuanzi's eyes.

"Those people don't seem to be her match." Hongchou said as she saw the Saint of Yaochi getting braver and braver. "Those people are just pawns I released to test her. The one you and I should really worry about is not her, but the mysterious Taoist who accompanies her." Qing Yuanzi said.

"That humanitarian entered the 49th area, which is 16 areas away from here. It's impossible for him to come here." Hongchou said.

Like Qing Yuanzi, she had a shackle on her body, and it was obvious that she had not entered the 33rd area.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one." Qing Yuanzi said.

Qing Yuanzi is naturally extremely wary of people who can be subconsciously ignored.

"Are you waiting for me?" At this moment, Li Zhi's voice appeared in their ears.

"Who's there?" Qing Yuanzi and Hong Chou's faces suddenly changed.

"Aren't you waiting for me?"

After the void was lifted like a curtain of water, Li Zhi appeared directly in front of them.

Seeing that Li Zhi was covered with sixteen shackles, Qing Yuanzi and Hong Chou were extremely shocked.

Then, Qing Yuanzi shouted.

"kill him."

Qing Yuanzi, who believed in the principle of striking first, immediately took out a huge black seal and smashed it towards Li Zhi's head with all his strength.

Hongchou also sacrificed a golden bell and shook it with all his divine power.

With the sound of "Ding-ling-ling" bells, a terrifying yellow wind blew up, mixed with some mysterious sand and gravel, which seemed to be able to blow away souls.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi just stood there, allowing the yellow wind to blow on him without being affected at all.

Just when Qing Yuanzi's seal was about to hit Li Zhi on the head, Li Zhi suddenly reached out and grabbed the seal in his hand.

"impossible."

Hongchou and Qingyuanzi are both semi-saints. After they fight with all their strength, even saints have to temporarily avoid the attack.

But now, he found that his killer move had no effect when facing Li Zhi, who was in sixteen shackles, and he suddenly felt infinite panic in his heart.

"This person is an ancient saint, leave quickly."

Qing Yuanzi shouted, turned around and ran towards District 32.

Hongchou burned his blood and essence and fled towards Area 34.

"Come back here." How could Li Zhi let them go?

He simply reached out and suppressed them.

"Senior, please spare my life." Hongchou shouted repeatedly.

"Junior is willing to offer immortal treasures to buy his life." Qing Yuanzi also said in fear.

"Naive." Li Zhi shook his head slightly, then wiped out their minds and began to search their souls.

Li Zhi did not get much useful information from the female cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, in Qing Yuanzi's sea of ​​consciousness, Li Zhi obtained a secret book on Duoyuan (a method of dual cultivation) and a sword technique called "Qingfeng Sword Technique".

Li Zhi had no interest in other miscellaneous things.

After emptying the divine treasures in the two people's secret realm, Li Zhi waved his hand and threw their bodies under the medicinal mountain in the Hundred Herbs Map, using them as fertilizer to suppress the flowers.

On the other hand, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also relied on the powerful secret techniques recorded in the "Western Emperor Sutra" to defeat the monks who besieged her.

After seeing the Saint Lady of Yao Chi killing those people, she planned to leave.

Li Zhi shouted, "Wang Yao, you forgot one thing."

Only then did the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi realize that Li Zhi was actually watching the battle nearby.

After seeing the sixteen shackles on Li Zhi, Yao Chi Saint asked, "Why did you come to this area?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I am just passing by. The avenues in the forty-nine regions are slightly different. I want to see if the same avenue will evolve slightly different in different regions."

Yao Chi Saint Girl nodded, and then asked: "What did I forget?"

"You forgot to touch the body and destroy the evidence. Simply killing someone does not ensure that they are completely dead. Only when the body and the remaining soul are completely dispersed, can we be free of worries."

Afterwards, Li Zhi reproduced the entire process of touching the corpse and scattering the ashes in front of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"This is your spoils of war, keep it." Then, Li Zhi handed all the things he dug out from the corpses to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"You take it, I don't need it." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi seemed to be uncomfortable with the way Li Zhi dealt with the enemy's corpses.

"This is your spoils of war, so naturally you should take it. The ancient road for the human race is still very long. The things you brought from Yaochi are not enough for your future cultivation. The wealth of the cultivators you killed along the way is the key to your lack of resources for cultivation. Relying on the various fortunes nurtured on the ancient road is simply not enough to support the cultivators to the end." Li Zhi said.

The strongest trial road is actually a road of breeding Gu.

Fighting and grabbing are survival skills that must be learned.

Only by stepping on the corpses of the enemies can you reach the end.

There is no gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty here, only blood and bones.

In other words, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had not practiced the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and was unable to use those corpses.

Otherwise, the corpse is the real divine material.

However, Li Zhi could extract the essence from those corpses and then use it as fertilizer and spread it in the medicinal fields within the Hundred Herbs Map.

In fact, when you reach the later stage of the strongest trial road, the greatest fortune has changed from various immortal treasures nurtured by heaven and earth to the cultivators who can reach there.

Every cultivator who reaches the late stage of the trial road is a powerful person above the level of a saint. They not only carry with them a series of mobile treasure houses.

The flesh and blood of their saints are coveted goods, even more valuable than what they carry on their bodies.

Li Zhi has a clear understanding of this.

This is why there are so many corpses on the emperor’s road.

After Li Zhi's explanation, the Saint of Yao Chi finally accepted her spoils.

Li Zhi’s words had a great impact on her.

Afterwards, the two separated and Li Zhi continued to search for the way in the next area.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was comprehending the great Dao in the thirty-three districts.

The attack on the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is not an isolated case.

Trialists in many areas were fighting.

However, Li Zhi was a special case. He walked all the way from District 49 to District 1, and no one dared to provoke him. After seeing his figure, they all hid far away.

During this period, Li Zhi also encountered Xuan Jian, who had been training across ten regions.

Outside the Holy Island, the commander-in-chief's expression changed slightly after seeing Li Zhi's performance. He could move freely across all areas, which even he could not do.

Under the surprised gaze of the commander-in-chief, Li Zhi made a big circle and returned to the 49th District.

Then he went straight into the central forbidden area.
