Chapter 342 The Second Human City

In the cold and dark starry sky, there is no more noise or bustle.

Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi walked together in the corridor of time and space opened up by the five-colored altar. Every step seemed to be able to cross the starry sky for dozens of light years.

The gorgeous galaxy kept disappearing from my eyes, but occasionally I could see the gorgeous starry sky outside through the transparent wall of time and space.

There was a faint twinkling of starlight on Li Zhi's body, as if he was comprehending the true meaning of the corridor of time and space under his feet.

He has memorized all the Taoist patterns on the five-colored altar. Now he is experiencing the starry sky channel personally to prepare for his future travel in the universe.

"Changshou, if we set foot on the second holy city of the human race just the two of us, will there be any unnecessary trouble?" The quiet journey did not hinder their communication.

The Saint of Yao Chi faintly exuded the aura of a semi-saint. It was obvious that after refining the Source of Tao in the bloody battlefield, her cultivation level had skyrocketed.

At the same time, after refining the source of Tao, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi became closer to the ways of heaven and earth, making her original "fairy state of mind" even stronger. She even re-evolved a layer of hazy fairy mist to cover herself.

In that layer of protective fairy mist, there were faint flashing mysterious runes, as if they were blessings from the heaven and earth.

Although she was not born with the Tao and could not achieve the unity of her body and the Tao, the magical aspects of the "Western Emperor Sutra" were gradually developed by her as the Saint Lady of Yao Chi's cultivation level increased.

By observing the practice of the Saintess of Yao Chi, Li Zhidu gained a lot.

"You and I have not broken any rules of the ancient road, so they will not turn us away. If they turn us away, the guide of the second city of the human race should commit suicide to apologize." Li Zhi said calmly about the concerns of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for killing all the trial-takers who entered the bloody battlefield.

He just killed some trial participants who didn't listen.

After all, smart people are those who listen to advice. For those who don’t listen to advice, it only means that it is their fate.

This is much more "merciful" than the man who stood in front of the ultimate imperial gate and killed all those who left their names on the crystal monument and intended to compete for the path to the emperor.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had become accustomed to Li Zhi's indifference. After setting foot on the ancient starry road, her hands were covered in blood, and the number of enemies she had killed was no less than that of Li Zhi.

"Is the ancient Taoist temple in the second city of the human race really as mysterious as you said?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was more concerned about the specific content of the trial.

"The second trial site of the human race is an ancient Taoist temple. It is not only a place where good fortune is nurtured, but also a place to consolidate the foundation of the Great Dao. Among the arrangements of the strongest ancient trial road of the human race, only the trial sites of the first nine levels are set up to allow the trial takers to understand the Great Dao and enhance their innate foundation.

The first level, the qualification test on the Saint Fallen Island, is to let us know ourselves. The subsequent killing in the bloody battlefield is to raise Gu, so that we have the opportunity to obtain the source of Tao and enhance our own talents and foundation.

The second level trial field, the Taigu Dojo, allows the trial participants to further comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, so that we can better exert the power of the Dao, and convert our talents and cultivation into combat effectiveness.

When you reach the third level, you have to enter the Bloody Purgatory Trial Field. After passing it, it will be of great benefit to the physical cultivation of the trial-taker.

At the fourth level..."

Li Zhi directly told the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi all the mysteries of the various trial sites corresponding to the first nine levels of the human race’s strongest ancient trial road, which he had learned from the commander-in-chief of the human race.

After hearing this, the Saint of Yao Chi said, "So, if I still can't overcome the tribulation and become a saint after reaching the tenth level, I will definitely die if I set foot on the ancient trial road later?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "You won't die, but if you still can't become a saint after reaching the tenth level of the human race, you won't have enough strength to deal with the various crises you encounter later. Even if an opportunity is in front of you, you won't be able to take it. Starting from the tenth level, you will face real cruel killings. Not only must you guard against the killings on the ancient trial road, but you must also guard against the threats from cultivators in other star fields that may appear at any time."

Yao Chi Saint Lady felt a sense of urgency in her heart and said, "I will improve my cultivation as soon as possible."

Li Zhi said, "Don't be anxious. Before becoming a saint, you must consolidate your foundation as much as possible. Now that you have refined the source of the Tao, you need to pass through the various trial grounds set up in the first nine levels of the ancient road to completely digest and absorb it. When you reach the tenth level, it won't be considered slow to overcome the tribulation and become a saint."

"Changshou, what about your cultivation?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was very concerned about the fact that Li Zhi's cultivation level had declined.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "My Taoism will soon be restored. And my intuition tells me that I will be able to recover my Taoism in the second level of the human race's ancient Taoist temple, and I may even have a chance to make further progress."

Li Zhi, who possessed the source of the Five-Colored Fairy Phoenix Dao and the source of the Golden True Dragon Dao, did not refine them, but he comprehended the source of the Dao through special means, which made Li Zhi faintly feel that a tremendous fortune of dragons and phoenixes was slowly gathering on him.

It is not known whether it was because of the source of Tao, or the result of his use of the secret method of "stealing the secrets of heaven" to comprehend the source of Tao.

Using the source of the Tao as a medium and secret methods to continuously steal the true power of all Taos, Li Zhi was full of confidence in quickly restoring his cultivation.

Even though his current cultivation level is still at the first level of a saint.

But as long as Li Zhi is willing, he can even improve one small realm a year, and after ten years, he can directly overcome the tribulation and become a Saint King.

However, Li Zhi would not do that, nor was there any need to do so.

If a mortal body wants to be on par with a chaotic body, he must not move too fast or too hastily, otherwise he will ignore every little detail on the road of cultivation.

The two chatted while waiting to arrive at their destination.

Soon, the starry sky passage under their feet began to shake.

Then the void was torn apart, and a star gate appeared in front of Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

After walking out of the star gate, the two arrived in the outer space.

But not far ahead, there is a magnificent ancient city also located in the starry sky.

The ancient city is mottled and majestic, like a lion lying in the starry sky.

This is the second holy city on the ancient trial road of the human race.

There are many experts in the city, and even many trial participants are stranded here.

Starting from the second city, there is no requirement for the same batch of trial-takers to travel together.

Generally speaking, trial-takers will continue on their journey only when they feel they have accumulated enough.

When the starry sky outside the Second Holy City was torn apart and the domain gate appeared, the soldiers guarding the city walls immediately noticed the movement there.

"Here they come, a new batch of trial participants are here." Someone whispered.

It seemed as if the soldiers were looking forward to seeing another exciting duel.

The last time the star gate opened, Saint Ye Fan fought hard to enter the city under the siege of a group of monks, leaving a deep impression on the soldiers guarding the city.

"Everyone get ready and resolutely prevent what happened last time from happening again." In order to prevent any accidents, a commander on the top of the city wall shouted.

But as soon as he finished shouting, all the soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded.

Only two monks who seemed to be taking a walk came out of the huge star gate.

It was as if Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi were not trial-takers who had just participated in the bloody battlefield, but great figures who had simply borrowed the five-colored altar in the first city of the human race.

"Where are the people? Where are this batch of trial-takers?" Many people began to whisper to each other, feeling that the scene was strange.

At the same time, they had no intention of opening the city gate to let Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi enter the city. They even stood on high alert, as if Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi were enemies.

"Hurry up and inform the guide." The commander on the city wall was a little confused by the scene in front of him. He had clearly received news that a new batch of trial-takers had arrived, so how come there were only two people? He immediately sent someone to confirm the authenticity of the news with the guide.

Soon, the guide of the second holy city of the human race was alarmed and even appeared directly on the city wall.

Apparently, the guide of the second city was more responsible than the guide of the first city. After confirming that Li Zhi and Yao Chi Saint were the trial participants who had returned from the bloody battlefield, the guide ordered the soldiers to open the city gates and let them in.

After entering the second city of the human race, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi directly found a mansion to live in.

However, the discussions in the second city continued.

Since the ancient trial road was opened, there has never been a situation where only two people completed the trial.

In the bloody battlefield of the first level, although everyone is regarded as an enemy, there is not a single monk who has the courage to kill everyone and go on the road alone.

This is the first time that a situation like that between Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi has occurred.

Previously, even in the bloody battlefield trial batches conducted by Emperor Tian, ​​the Great Demon God Gu Huang, Overlord, Holy Body and others, hundreds of people were able to successfully survive the killing calamity and enter the second city of the human race.

Soon, all the commanders of the Second City gathered in the residence of the guide to discuss the matter.

"Sir, have you confirmed it?" asked the new commander-in-chief of the Second City.

"It has been confirmed. There are more than 300 trial-takers in this group. More than 100 of them were left behind by the Taoist priest of longevity in the first city. The remaining 100 or so people did enter the bloody battlefield. However, the Taoist priest of longevity and Wang Yao killed all the trial-takers who were traveling with them in the bloody battlefield. That's why only the two of them arrived in the second city." The guide didn't know how to describe Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Almost no trial-taker had done this before. Even Gu Huang, who was known as the Great Demon God, did not have such a strong murderous nature.

"This..." Everyone's expressions became solemn.

"What are they going to do? Sir, I think we should focus on investigating their identities and origins. I suspect they are aliens in disguise." A commander said.

"That Taoist priest and Wang Yao are both from the Burial Emperor Star. And Wang Yao is the descendant of the Yaochi Ancient Sacred Land founded by the Queen Mother of the West. When she was in the First City of the Human Race, someone tried to assassinate her. In a rage, she directly wiped out the assassin's family." The guide of the Second City had carefully confirmed the identities of Li Zhi and the Yaochi Saint with the guide of the First City. The guide of the First City had a very high opinion of Li Zhi.

"Another cultivator from the Emperor Burial Star. Are they going to be enemies with all the human forces in the universe?" said another commander with a grim expression.

Almost every cultivator born from the Emperor Burial Star will cause huge trouble when participating in the Trial Road, without exception.

"That longevity Taoist has immense fighting power, even surpassing the commander-in-chief of the first city of the human race." The guide broke another piece of news to those commanders.

“What? Is he already the Saint King? How could the ancient road allow the Saint King to set foot here?” The new commander-in-chief of the Second City said in surprise.

"He is only at the initial stage of becoming a saint now." The guide felt it was extremely difficult, not knowing whether he should let Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi enter the Taikoo Taoist Temple.

After all, the number of people who completed the trial was too small.

If we allow the two of them to enter the Taikoo Dojo, what is the difference between this and feeding them resources individually?

In this way, the Taigu Taoist Temple, which was supposed to be opened shortly after the arrival of Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, was delayed in opening.

There were more and more rumors about Li Zhi and the Saint Girl of Yao Chi, which almost demonized the two of them.

Outside the residence where Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi temporarily stayed, many cultivators gathered every day.

There were countless people who came to deliver the invitations.

However, they were all rejected by Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Half a month passed like this, and the guide personally came out to host a banquet for Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi in his mansion.

"My two friends, I wonder if you can stay here for a few more days until the next batch of trial participants arrives, and then go to the ancient temple for trial together. There is a riot going on on the ancient road ahead, so would you please set off after the riot subsides?"

The guide came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties and proposed them.

"Senior, do you think we are not qualified to enter the Taikoo Dojo? Or are you intentionally slowing down our progress?" Li Zhi asked directly.

"If the two of you enter the Taikoo Dojo for the trial alone, it will definitely attract extra attention. You are both the peerless geniuses of my human race, and I don't want to see you being targeted by the alien races ahead too early." The guide kindly reminded.

"Excuse me for making a fool of myself, senior. When I set foot on the strongest ancient trial road, I never thought of moving forward slowly. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will set out without hesitation. The ancient road trial is just a short journey on the road I am repairing, and I cannot afford to waste any time." Li Zhi said gently.

But there was a meaning in his words that was impossible to refuse.

"Aren't you afraid of walking too fast and encountering other geniuses on the road ahead? Gu Huang, Di Tian, ​​Overlord, Shengti, Fairy Qingshi, Human King and others are all top-notch strong men." The guide was afraid that Li Zhi was not clear about the abilities of those who had set out on the journey twenty or thirty years earlier than him.

"As long as they are willing to make way for me, I will spare their lives because they are all members of the human race." Li Zhi said slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell in the hall.

Almost everyone thought that Li Zhi was crazy. Who did he think he was?
"Master Li, Miss Wang, please have a good rest today. I will personally send you to the Taikoo Dojo for training tomorrow morning."

After a moment, the guide from the second city spoke directly.

It seemed as if he didn't want this "madman" Li Zhi to continue staying in the second city of the human race.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Li Zhi said with a smile.

After leaving the residence of the guide, the Saintess of Yaochi said, "Changshou, did you do that on purpose? I feel like those commanders seem to despise you."

"Don't take the opinions of outsiders to heart. We have our own pace of practice."

Just now, Li Zhi certainly did it on purpose. He didn't want to be arranged by these people.

Once the rhythm of cultivation falls into the plan of others, there will inevitably be deviations in practice, which is not the result Li Zhi wants to see.

Even if there are enemies all over the world on the road ahead, Li Zhi doesn't care.

The peerless geniuses mentioned by the guide, Emperor Tian, ​​the great demon Gu Huang, the fairy Qingshi, the Overlord, the Human King and others, actually do not have the qualities to be emperors.

Compared with the ancient royal descendants on the ancient Beidou star, they are far inferior.

Shortly after Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi left, the various commanders in the city, after receiving the news, went directly to the residence of the Guide to Inquire about the situation.

"Sir, do you really want to open the Taikoo Dojo just for them?" asked the new commander-in-chief.

"Notify everyone that no cultivator who does not follow the rules will be allowed into the Taikoo Dojo tomorrow." The guide gave a direct order.

Every time the Taikoo Dojo opens, there are cultivators from the city who rely on nepotism to enter the dojo and take advantage of the opportunity, and those cultivators are almost all related to these commanders.

Normally the guides would turn a blind eye, but now they have strictly forbade entry.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Taoist Changshou is more dangerous than the last holy body, and he will not care about anyone's threat. If you don't want to die, just follow the rules." Seeing that those commanders seemed to have some ulterior motives, the guide warned them directly.

"Sir, Taoist Changshou is just a cultivator in the early stage of becoming a saint. Is it necessary to treat him with such caution?" asked the new commander-in-chief.

"Don't you understand what people say, or do you think you are lucky? Do you know what it means that he defeated the commander-in-chief of the First City with the cultivation of an early saint?" The guide said heavily.

Looking at these subordinates whose minds had long been blinded by greed, the guide suddenly felt a little tired. Taking care of this group of greedy trash, he would be implicated sooner or later.

Shouldn’t the events of the former Grand Commander Yu Han and the former Grand Commander Yan Yu serve as a warning to them?

The opportunities on the ancient road of the human race are prepared for the monks who participate in the trial, not for people like them to enrich themselves.
