Chapter 343: The Great Dao of the Ancient Daoist Temple

In the early morning, the stars retreated, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and the second holy city of mankind showed its vigorous vitality.

The war ahead did not affect the prosperity of the second holy city on the ancient road of the human race.

"Ding!" The melodious bell sounded, once again announcing the opening of the ancient trial field.

The monks in the city were eagerly waiting to see the true appearance of Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

However, the true body of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was shrouded in fairy mist, making it impossible to see her true appearance. Although Li Zhi did not conceal his face, few monks who had seen him could remember what his true appearance looked like.

After creating the secret technique "The Only True Body" of the Wheel Sea Scroll of "The Great Way of Longevity Sutra", Li Zhi could almost conceal all the information about himself.

People who are not advanced enough in Taoism will quickly forget Li Zhi’s true appearance even if they have seen it.

Many of the leaders of major forces in the city were all surprised after seeing Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

As cultivators who also came from the Burial Emperor Star, their performance was completely different from that of the previous Saint Body Ye Fan.

When we arrived at the central square of the ancient city, the guide was already waiting there.

The new commander of the second city of the human race, as the guardian of the trial field, also stood on the square. And beside him were a group of children from the big forces in the city, who seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity of Li Zhi and the Saint of Yao Chi entering the ancient trial field to grab the fortune.

"The children of these big forces are so abominable. Every time the trial field opens, they try to sneak in. They have seized so much fortune, but they don't even give us some of the profits." Li Zhi heard the natives whispering in the city.

"Haha, now there's something interesting to watch. The previous few times the trial field was opened, there were a large number of trial-takers, and they blended in and were not conspicuous. But this time there are only two trial-takers. Do you think those two trial-takers will allow their fortune to be taken away by the children of those big forces?" Someone sneered.

"The two people who came this time are truly ruthless people. It may not be as easy as they expected for the children of those powerful forces to seize the good fortune." Someone said gloatingly.

Obviously, regarding the violations of entering the ancient trial field, the guide chose to turn a blind eye due to the forces behind certain people.

But the eyes of the masses are sharp, and letting people in against the rules will eventually arouse the jealousy of others.

The ancient city square was peaceful.

There were only two people taking the trial: Li Zhi and the Saintess of Yao Chi, but there were a large number of cultivators watching.

Li Zhi could even sense that the monks standing next to the commander-in-chief were looking at them with provocative eyes.

Soon, the guide used a secret method to open a portal to the ancient trial field above the square. The divine gate was bright, surrounded by purple air, and a thick essence of heaven and earth emanated from the gate, making people feel a surge of vitality flowing through the gate, as if it led to a mysterious fairyland.

Then, the guide of the second city said to Li Zhi and Yaochi Saintess: "The ancient Taoist temple has a great fortune. You should make good use of it and hone yourselves. I look forward to hearing about the day when you will become famous in the ancient road in the future."

"Thank you." Li Zhi simply said two words and walked into the divine gate with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Afterwards, some children from powerful forces followed closely behind and passed through the divine gate. The commander-in-chief and soldiers who served as protectors did not stop them.

However, a trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the guide, and it seemed that he was not optimistic about their chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

After more than twenty descendants of major local forces entered the Taikoo Dojo, the divine gate above the square slowly closed.

Upon seeing this, many high-ranking officials from major forces in the city began to make fun of it.

"Your kid should be able to get that good fortune this time, right?"

"There are few people taking the trial this time. The competition they face after entering is not a sacrifice. There is an 80% chance that they will be able to obtain that good fortune. By then, there will be no problem in becoming a saint."

"Haha, the children of our clan were able to obtain so many fortunes this time, all thanks to that Taoist priest. If he hadn't killed all the fellow trial participants, I'm afraid our children and nephews wouldn't have had such an opportunity."

A group of people chatted happily, as if the opening of the Taikoo Dojo was specially prepared for them.

As for Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, those people didn't take them seriously at all.

At the same time, after passing through the divine gate, Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi appeared on a vast land.

Looking around, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the energy is surging, as if you have entered a chaotic fairyland. The world is filled with primitive and ancient atmosphere, and everywhere is a treasure land for cultivation. There are many mountains with auspicious aura rising and ancient trees towering.

There are many ferocious birds and beasts with powerful bloodlines roaming in this world, as well as numerous spiritual herbs and ancient medicines, spiritual lakes everywhere, and precious spiritual soil.

Li Zhi truly felt the preciousness of this Taoist temple.

It really looks like a dojo opened up by an ancient and powerful being in the chaos.

Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi walked on and saw one sacred land after another. Some places were even comparable to the sacred land of Yao Chi.

Even on a mountain range filled with rich spiritual energy, Li Zhi saw the evolution process of the source. The rich essence of heaven and earth condensed into drops of source liquid, and then condensed into crystals, like diamonds, emitting crystal light.

Without opening his third eye, Li Zhi dug out a large piece of divine source from underground relying solely on the geomantic techniques recorded in the "Book of Earth".

"The natural environment here is comparable to the cultivation environment in the ancient times of the Northern Territory." Yao Chi Saint said softly.

"By the time we return to Beidou, the ancient star should have almost recovered. By then, Beidou will be more suitable for cultivation than here." Although Li Zhi lamented that the human elders actually used their great magic power to transform a chaotic dojo into a trial ground.

But there was not much shock in my heart.

The ancient trial field was vast and majestic, with many ancient species that were extinct in the outside world. Ancient beasts roared, golden crows soared, and dragon birds spread their wings, making this small world even more sacred.

However, Li Zhi did not go around picking spiritual essences.

Instead, he used his heart to feel the majestic atmosphere between heaven and earth, and soon felt an endless power emerging between heaven and earth.

"The Avenue of Power!"

There was a hint of surprise in Li Zhi's eyes. The power of the Dao in this ancient Taoist temple was beyond his expectations. It seemed that it was a Taoist temple left behind by a supreme strong man who practiced the "Dao of Power".

This power makes people's blood boil, as if if one masters this power, one will have the power to break the sky.

The power of time, the power of space, the power of the moon, the power of the sun, the power of the void,... and so on. If you want to unleash their true power, force is an indispensable thing.

It can be said that the way of power is the foundation of all the ways of heaven and earth, and any great way is derived and grows from the way of power.

Without power, all wonderful methods are just empty talk.

"This place is suitable for enlightenment. You and I will each seek our own fortune." After walking for a while, Li Zhi said to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Yao Chi Saint nodded and said, "I have the Yao Chi secret method to sense the fortune that is useful to me. Changshou, you don't have to worry about me. The holy beasts here should not actively attack me."

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded, then he and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi went their separate ways.

Li Zhi walked on the earth, measuring every inch of heaven and earth, feeling all things in nature, resonating with all things in heaven and earth, and capturing traces of the great way.

Three days later, Li Zhi arrived in front of a huge mountain with heavy pressure.

Just standing at the foot of the mountain, one can feel the heavy pressure from the dark mountain.

There are no plants on the bare mountain, and the mountain is not very high, but it gives people a feeling that it is impossible to reach the top.

Li Zhi climbed up and immediately felt a gravity that was different from other places.

Then the closer you are to the top of the mountain, the greater gravity you have to bear.

With Li Zhi's strong body, after reaching the top, he could feel the creaking sound of his bones, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

No Taoist magic can weaken the gravity, and one can only rely on the flesh and blood body to bear it.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Li Zhi actually started to practice boxing under such heavy pressure. The most ordinary boxing technique gave people a feeling that it could shatter the world.

"Is this the avenue of power? Indeed, power is the foundation for exerting the power of all avenues."

Li Zhi felt something in his heart, and after finishing his boxing practice, he actually stood on the top of the mountain and began to stand in a stance. It was just the simplest "Hunyuan Stance", but combined with Li Zhi's unusual breathing method, it made Hunyuan Stance undergo amazing changes.

As Li Zhi breathed, countless divine chains of order gradually emerged between heaven and earth, as if they were the embodiment of the laws of the great way of power.

The power of yin and yang, the power of the five elements, the power of wind and thunder, the power of the void, the power of the sacred mountain, the power of life, the power of death,... the power of all things in heaven and earth is faintly emerging around Li Zhi.

Then, an immortal force of the Great Dao, different from the force of heaven and earth, burst out from Li Zhi.

The power of the immortal avenue was growing rapidly, and the void seemed to be shaking as it could not bear the power of the avenue.

The terrifying pressure gradually spread, making it difficult for people to breathe, and as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

"What's going on? Has a mountain treasure been born?"

After feeling the pressure, the monks who followed Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi instantly revealed greed.

"Such a huge movement must be either a mountain treasure or a divine weapon."

Everyone showed greedy looks and flew towards the center of the pressure.

When they came to the black mountain, they stopped.

"Why is he on this Gravity God Peak? Could it be that this place gave birth to some immortal treasures that we don't know about?"

Seeing Li Zhi standing on the top of the mountain, those people showed doubts.

"He seems to be at the critical moment of enlightenment. Should we kill him? This man must have a treasure. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill all the trial-takers in the previous level." Someone secretly transmitted the message.

"It may not be enough just for a few of us. We should notify everyone to come together." Most people were tempted.

“He exudes such a terrifying aura. He must have gained good fortune in this inconspicuous Gravity God Peak.” Someone said with certainty.

Soon, ten days passed, and Li Zhi was still standing on the Gravity God Peak.

The descendants of the major forces who followed Li Zhi and the Saint of Yao Chi into the second level of the trial field had already made preparations at the foot of the mountain.

“Let’s attack together and smash this sacred peak. He will definitely be attacked by the avenue. Then we can rush over and divide up his fortune.”

"Good." Everyone cheered.

Then, they worked together to smash the sacred mountain.

"boom!"

After the black mountain exploded, a black stone emitting a thick chaotic aura appeared within their perception.

"This is the core of Chaos Mountain."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they showed excitement. They didn't expect that an inconspicuous Gravity Peak actually contained the core of a Chaos Mountain.

After being refined into a treasure seal, its power is absolutely extraordinary.

Without caring about the smoke and dust dissipating, everyone rushed towards the core of the Chaos Mountain.

"it is mine."

"Why is it yours? Everyone has made a move."

Before they could grab the core of the Chaos Mountain, those people broke out into an internal conflict and started fighting in the smoke and dust.

It seemed that they had all forgotten about Li Zhi who had just been ambushed by them.

At this moment, Li Zhi had already restrained all his aura, stood in front of the core of the Chaos Mountain, and picked it up.

After weighing it in his hand for a few times, he found that the weight was indeed astonishing. Although it was only the size of a millstone, its weight was no less than that of a sacred mountain ten thousand feet high.

Afterwards, he sealed and put away the core of the Chaos Mountain, and the gravity field emitted by the core of the Chaos Mountain also disappeared.

The fighting monks immediately noticed this abnormality.

After a gust of wind blew past, they saw Li Zhi standing intact on the black rock ruins.

"How come you're okay?" someone exclaimed.

Almost everyone felt that their previous actions had turned Li Zhi into dust.

"What kind of punishment should those who violate the rules receive?" Li Zhi had no intention of talking to them. After glancing at them, he spoke lightly.

Without waiting for their answer, Li Zhi said, "The former commander-in-chief Yu Han broke the rules, and Saint Body Ye Fan made him pay the price with blood. Now that you have broken the rules, you should go with him."

After saying this, a terrifying divine power burst out from Li Zhi's body.

With just one slap, he killed all the monks in front of him.

When they turned into essence and returned to the heaven and earth, Li Zhi had a new understanding of his own power.

In just over ten days, his strength more than doubled, and with a wave of his hand, he possessed the supreme power to pluck the stars and grab the moon.

Afterwards, Li Zhi walked towards some dangerous places deep in the Taoist temple that had not been visited by previous generations.

At the same time, in a restaurant on the edge of the central square of the ancient city, the leaders of various forces who were waiting for their own disciples to come out instantly sensed that the soul lamps of those disciples had gone out.

"died?"

"All dead?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Then, a saint from a powerful force smashed the table in front of him and said angrily, "How dare he!"

Everyone thought that it was Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi who were killing people.

"Go find the guide, he must give us an explanation." Someone shouted angrily.

"We must not let him leave the second holy city of humanity alive. Heaven will not tolerate this if he is not eliminated." Someone else shouted murderously.

Afterwards, a group of people rushed into the residence of the guide.

The guide sitting on an ancient platform, facing the questioning of these local leaders, simply said: "Everyone who enters the ancient trial field is deemed to have automatically participated in the trial, regardless of life or death."

This sentence choked everyone to the point of being speechless.

After a moment, a family leader said angrily, "Don't worry about life or death, then don't blame us for being merciless."

"Master Liu, you have to think it over carefully. If you target the trial-taker without reason, you will be held accountable by the ancient road law enforcers." The guide reminded.

"Please punish me! He has killed all my nephews and nephews, and you still dare to punish me?" There was murderous intent on Liu Jiazhu's face.

Then, everyone came to the central square of the ancient city in a threatening manner, waiting for the return of Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

It seemed as if they would be killed the moment they returned.

　Happy holidays everyone. Only one update today, good night.
