Chapter 34 Opening up the sea of suffering
Feel the life force surging in your body.
Li Zhi immediately started practicing the longevity technique he had been studying for two years.
Changsheng Gong, as the starting chapter of "Xiantian Changsheng Gong", is specially designed to help cultivators consolidate their foundation and open up the sea of suffering. He is already very familiar with it.
Sitting cross-legged in the tiger's den, Li Zhi practiced his mysterious method and began to call upon the vast life essence in his body to impact the sea of suffering.
When his mind sensed the thick cloud of life essence shrouding the sea of suffering, Li Zhi could hardly believe his eyes.
For ordinary people, when opening up the Sea of Bitterness, they only need to condense a few strands of life essence above the Sea of Bitterness to complete the opening up of the Sea of Bitterness.
However, Li Zhi mobilized the vast life essence like a sea of clouds to open up the Sea of Bitterness. The treatment was completely different.
While using the mysterious method of Changsheng Gong to summon the thick sea of clouds, he also sensed the throbbing of the Wheel of Life.
Soon, Li Zhi sensed a source of divine power that seemed to be about to gush out from the Wheel of Life.
Then Li Zhiyuan used his mysterious method to draw a stream of essence from the thick cloud of life essence to impact the place where the source of divine power showed signs of erupting.
"boom!"
When the life essence fell on the source of divine power, it was like pouring a basin of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the oil surface exploded instantly.
In an instant, Li Zhi felt a huge amount of divine power bursting out from the Wheel of Life, and then a silver light shone through his body, illuminating the entire tiger's den with silver-white light.
A silver ocean seemed to appear in the void, and at the same time, a water tornado that stretched from the sky to the earth appeared above the silver ocean.
Through the waterspout, torrents of life essence continuously fell into the silver ocean below, causing huge waves in the silver ocean, and even a giant silver island slowly rose from the sea.
Then, a fruit tree emitting fairy mist broke out of the ground on the silver island and grew into a towering tree in an instant.
The thick cloud of energy above the silver ocean seemed to be attracted by the silver ocean below, and heavy rain like a waterfall suddenly fell.
The level of the Silver Ocean was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The huge waves, carrying infinite divine power, rushed towards the chaotic coast.
In an instant, there was a violent gale and heavy rain on the sea, as if the energy clouds above the Sea of Bitterness were dissatisfied with the slow speed of the rain falling from them, and three energy tornadoes formed on the sea.
Four energy tornadoes acted like water pumps, injecting energy from the energy clouds above into the silver ocean.
Perhaps because the speed of the infusion of vital energy was too fast and the amount was too large, countless whirlpools of divine power of varying sizes appeared on the silver sea surface, and eventually connected together to form an extremely corrosive ocean vortex.
With the help of the vortex, the speed at which the divine power waves washed over the Chaos Coast increased again.
Chaotic areas were transformed into a silver ocean.
As the clouds of vital energy in the sky gradually thinned, the wind and waves on the sea gradually weakened.
When the last trace of rain of essence fell into the silver ocean, the silver sea surface gradually returned to calm.
The huge silver island in the sea and the fairy tree on the island are more clearly visible.
Afterwards, the fairy tree on the island emitted bursts of fairy mist, hiding the silver giant island and the fairy tree.
At this point, the vision projected into the tiger's den disappeared.
A silver ocean as big as a football field appeared in Li Zhi's wheel sea.
Through perception, he sensed six shallow scratches on the Wheel of Life at the bottom of the sea.
This good fortune actually made his body rejuvenate to the state of a six-year-old.
I have to say, this was a huge surprise.
What puzzled Li Zhi was why no divine patterns were born in the process of opening up the Sea of Bitterness?
Moreover, the area of his sea of suffering has seriously exceeded the standard.
Is this the sea of suffering that a monk who has just opened up the sea of suffering can have?
Although he didn't know how big the sea of suffering was when others opened it up, it would definitely not be larger than the size of a palm.
But the area of the sea of suffering he had just opened up was as large as a football field.
Is this still the sea of suffering that the cultivators in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm can possess?
However, despite his doubts, Li Zhi was not overly worried because he did not feel any discomfort in his body.
Soon, Li Zhi attributed this exaggerated effect to the ginseng fruit which had almost half the efficacy of an elixir of immortality.
Just one complete ginseng fruit can allow a powerful emperor to live another life.
Although if a strong man at the level of the emperor lives another life, it is not necessarily the medicinal power accumulated in the Immortal Elixir Fruit that is taking effect, but the life force contained in an Immortal Elixir Fruit is absolutely overwhelming, and is definitely much more than the life essence in the divine source of the same volume.
After the sea of suffering was opened up, Li Zhi did not end his cultivation.
Instead, while his understanding of the mysterious method was still there, he began to try to practice the real "Innate Longevity Art" from the Wheel Sea Scroll.
Silently practicing the mysterious method of the Xiantian Longevity Wheel Sea Scroll, Li Zhi quickly mastered the technique.
But after practicing for only one week, he stopped.
He didn't know whether it was because the sea of suffering was too huge, or for some other reason, but after practicing the technique, he didn't feel any progress at all.
Taking out the Eternal Blue Gold Scripture, Li Zhi injected the divine power he had just cultivated into the scripture.
Suddenly, a mysterious chanting sound rang in his ears.
The chanting did not disappear until sunrise.
A gleam of enlightenment shone from Li Zhi's eyes.
My understanding of the Xiantian Changsheng Gong has increased by another three points.
At the same time, he learned a technique called "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique". This technique was not recorded in the scriptures, but appeared in his mind through perception.
It seems that the predecessors have consciously made this technique invisible to the naked eye. Only after activating it with magic power by holding this Eternal Blue Gold Scripture can one have a certain chance of comprehending this technique.
At the same time, Li Zhi also understood why his predecessor had to handle it so secretly.
This "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique" can be regarded as one of the fundamental secret techniques of the "Innate Longevity Art".
After achieving perfection in cultivation, one can lock up all of one's essence to ensure that it does not leak out.
After mastering the technique, one can even seal off one's five secret realms, isolating them from the outside world.
Those who have mastered this technique are no different from ordinary people in the eyes of outsiders.
Being able to lock up the life essence is only the first level of the technique, while being able to lock up the cultivator's spiritual power is the second level. When one practices to the highest level, one can even completely seal off the path of one's own practice within one's own body.
This allows the five major secret realms of the human body to complete the ultimate internal circulation without relying on any essence or nourishment from the outside world.
When Li Zhi realized this secret method, he couldn't help but take a breath. Isn't this the true meaning of the secret realm method?
It turns out that it's not that the predecessors didn't work hard, but that some people had already realized the true meaning of the secret realm method of seeking help from within. However, theory is theory, and whether it can be done is another matter.
It is no wonder that the Taoist Changshou created the "Innate Longevity Art" and dared to claim that after mastering this art, one can have a lifespan as long as that of a great emperor.
Without saying anything, Li Zhi immediately began to practice the "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique".
His sea of suffering is too vast. If he were discovered, he would definitely be captured and used as a guinea pig for research.
When the sun rose to noon, Li Zhi had finally mastered the "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique" to the entry level.
While practicing the technique, one can lock all the vital energy in the body. Even the sea of suffering seems to be sealed again. From the outside, it is pitch black without any trace of any life energy.
After learning the technique, Li Zhi did not continue to practice it. Instead, he began to try to inject divine power into the two treasures, the Luoyang shovel and the snakeskin bag.
Sure enough, after the divine power took over, they reacted. The Luoyang shovel became sharper, and even a faint light blade appeared on the shovel head. The snakeskin bag became even more magical. It could be enlarged and shrunk, and could store items. It seemed that its true appearance was a Qiankun bag magic weapon.
As for what level of treasures they are, Li Zhi is unable to make a clear judgment now.
Afterwards, he injected a stream of divine power into the Hundred Herbs Map, but unfortunately the Hundred Herbs Map did not respond at all.
It seemed that his divine power was too weak to support the revival of this quasi-imperial divine weapon.
Then, Li Zhi put the three magic weapons, the Eternal Blue Gold Scripture, and his backpack into the Wheel Sea.
Use the essence in the wheel sea to continuously nourish the three magic weapons, and strive to leave your own mark in the magic weapons as soon as possible.
After walking out of the tiger's den, Li Zhi looked at the ill-fitting clothes on his body and set his eyes on the saber-toothed tiger he had killed.
He took out the Luoyang shovel, skinned the saber-toothed tiger and removed its tendons, then used the tiger skin to make a fur coat.
After putting on the tiger skin skirt, it added a bit of wild beauty to his elegant temperament.
As for the tiger meat, it was not wasted and we had a barbecue meal there.
When the sun was setting, Li Zhicai touched his round belly and walked towards the distant mountains and forests.
Although he had no shortage of skills, Li Zhi was extremely lacking in common sense in the world of cultivation.
It's time to join a sect system and learn the knowledge of the cultivation world.
Moreover, at this time, he rejuvenated into a six-year-old child, which invisibly increased his chances of being accepted by those sects.
After climbing over a hill, the trees around us gradually became sparse.
A relatively open area appeared in front of Li Zhi. The flat and hard ground seemed to have been repeatedly crushed by something.
Not far away, there is a huge black lake. The lake surface is dark and shiny, reflecting some of the sun's light, and it seems to reflect some colorful black on the lake surface.
After just a few glances, Li Zhi felt that the black lake water was full of extremely strong corrosive power and was not a good place.
But if one can withstand the corrosion of the black water, it might be a great place to refine the body.
Not far from the lake, there is a huge rock lying there. Behind the rock, there seems to be a faint sound of breathing.
Seeing this, Li Zhi took out the Luoyang shovel and walked over quietly.
After jumping onto the boulder, I saw a strange beast that was completely black, three meters long and one and a half meters high, similar in shape to a buffalo but with nine sharp horns on its head and five eyes on its face. It was in the process of making a cocoon and shedding its skin.
At this moment, many cracks have appeared on the dark old skin of the strange beast, and it seems that its transformation is about to be completed.
Seeing this, Li Zhi said nothing and took advantage of the monster's weakness. He raised the Luoyang shovel, stood on the boulder and stabbed the monster's body hard.
"Moo-oo."
The strange beast, which was less than 1.5 meters tall, had its spine pierced by the sharp Luoyang shovel in an instant, and let out an angry roar.
Because his spine was broken, he was unable to exert any strength.
However, Li Zhi is no longer the same as before. His strength and reaction speed are not much weaker than that of the strange beast. He swung the Luoyang shovel in his hand again and used his divine power to activate the magic weapon, directly unleashing the unparalleled edge of this treasure.
A semicircular sharp blade flew out from the shovel head and directly chopped off the head of the strange beast which was in a vulnerable period.
It directly completed the separation of its head and body.
Afterwards, Li Zhi peeled off the old skin and put the new body of the strange beast and its head with nine spikes and five eyes into the snakeskin bag.
Being able to live on the edge of the ancient forbidden area and cultivate to the point of becoming a strange beast that needs to shed its skin, his flesh and blood must be extraordinary.
Maybe I can sell it outside for a lot of money. Since I have just arrived, it is very necessary to make money.
Afterwards, Li Zhi and He Lele left with the spoils and plunged into the ancient forest in the distance.
As for what else is in the black water lake, he has no interest in exploring it for the time being.
If the bad water is highly poisonous, he will suffer a great loss.
Shortly after Li Zhi left, Ye Fan and his group finally walked out of the ancient forbidden area and came to the edge of the ancient forest.
And at a glance, he saw the fire that was still warm after Li Zhi's barbecue, some tiger bones next to the fire, and a pile of leftover scraps from making tiger skin skirts not far away.
Pang Bo was surprised when he saw this and asked, "Could it be that Boss Li had eaten barbecue here?"
Ye Fan looked at the surrounding environment and said, "It's very likely."
"There is a cave there, and there seem to be two tiger cubs that were beaten to death." At this time, Zhou Yi also discovered the tiger's cave under the rock wall not far away.
After everyone walked over, they found a pile of charred things in the tiger's den.
There were also two trouser legs that had been torn off.
Someone recognized the style of the trouser legs and said, "Li Zhi should have rested here."
However, Ye Fan, Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen and others focused their attention on the pile of clothes that were obviously carbonized and burnt.
What kind of power could have caused the clothes Li Zhi was wearing to become like this?
It seemed as if it was ignited by fire.
"Ye Fan, do you feel something is wrong?" Zhou Yi asked.
Ye Fan frowned and nodded, "Something is not right."
Li Xiaoman looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Let's leave here first."
The group continued to move forward, and after climbing over a hill, they saw the evil water area again, as well as the battlefield left behind after Li Zhi ambushed the five-eyed black buffalo.
At this moment, everyone was able to confirm that Li Zhi was not far ahead of them.
"Let's go. This is not a place to stay for long." Ye Fan said to everyone.
But before they had walked two kilometers and just reached the top of a hill, everyone suddenly felt their bodies starting to heat up.
The aftereffects of their journey into the ancient forbidden land finally appeared.
However, Li Zhi, who had already gone more than fifty miles deep into the ancient forest, got into trouble. He was targeted by a group of Nether Wolves.
The ancient forest is sparsely populated because it is close to the forbidden zone of life.
Instead, it gave some prehistoric beasts a rare space to grow.
Although it will not produce any powerful monsters, there are many ferocious beasts that are comparable to the monks in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm.
As for those beasts that are stronger and have awakened their intelligence and transformed into monsters, they are naturally quite intelligent and can sense the terrifying aura coming from the forbidden zone of life. They will often take the initiative to leave this ancient forest near the forbidden zone.
But even so, not everyone can cross the ancient forest at will.
There are so many ferocious beasts in there.
Li Zhi, who was unaware of this taboo, became the reckless man who dared to cross the ancient forest just after opening up the Sea of Bitterness.
