Chapter 350 Parting ways
The starry sky is vast and the sky is silent.

Inside the Ninth Holy City on the ancient road of the human race, countless monks cheered.

Li Zhi single-handedly destroyed the 80,000 monks of the four-tribe coalition, which was truly eye-opening.

Peerless combat power and invincible style are what people yearn for.

The four Saint Kings, with twelve saints, hundreds of kings, and eighty thousand soldiers, drove a hundred star warships and came aggressively, with the intention of attacking cities and destroying the ninth city of the human race.

But in the end, such a fierce group of enemies was destroyed by Li Zhi alone.

Such astonishing combat power once made the three Saint Kings in the tower fall into silence.

If the situation were reversed, even if the other side did not have the four Saint Kings leading the team, they might not be able to repel the enemy.

"He did it. He really did it. Taoist Changshou is truly a god."

Unlike the three silent Saint Kings, Commander Zhen, who was standing on the city wall with the soldiers cheering for Li Zhi, kept repeating the above words.

"Wan Sheng!"

"mighty!"

"Master Longevity!"

The excited soldiers shouted Li Zhi's Taoist name and various celebratory slogans, expressing the repressed energy accumulated in their hearts.

It seems that Li Zhi in the starry sky is still controlling the war flag to overcome the tribulation.

The three saint kings in the city tower began to discuss how to entertain Li Zhi.

"This time, Taoist Changshou has made such a great contribution, we must treat him well. I wonder what Taoist Changshou's hobbies are, whether he likes fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women." The Saint King, who came from a noble family in the city, spoke up.

"I would like to reward him well, but unfortunately what I have now is probably not enough to reward his contribution. Now the ancient road ahead has collapsed, and I don't know when it will be connected again. Even if I want to apply for a reward from above, I'm afraid it won't be delivered here in time." An embarrassed look appeared on the face of the guide.

"With Taoist Changshou's current level of cultivation, the experience of the first fifty levels of the ancient road may have little effect on him. It would be better to tell him about a few secret places of good fortune on the ancient road later on and let him explore them by himself." The guardian of the ancient road said.

"Where can you find the secret place of fortune? The war is intense at the front, and even the Tenth City and the ancient life star under its jurisdiction have been blown up. The ancient wells left by the Taoist Master for refining holy spirits were originally a rare place of opportunity, but now they have been opened one after another. Although some immortal liquids have been produced in those ancient wells, the competition for the immortal liquids is extremely fierce." said the guardian.

"Let's wait until he enters the city and then decide on his reward." said the Guardian of the Ancient Road.

Not long after, the thunder tribulation that the weapon in the starry sky had endured gradually disappeared. The battle flag engraved with the word "longevity" began to emit a powerful aura of a legendary holy weapon after successfully surviving the thunder tribulation.

"That battle flag is not simple."

The three Saint Kings were all connoisseurs of valuables. Even when they were standing on the city wall, they could vaguely sense a powerful aura from the battle flags.

The monstrous blood energy emanating from the battle flag seemed to be able to bless the monks, enhancing their combat effectiveness and morale.

Li Zhi in the starry sky also showed a look of satisfaction when he saw the battle flag was completely formed.

The first time he used the flesh and blood of a saint to refine a magic weapon was much easier than he had imagined.

Especially after the resentful soul hidden in the battle flag was liberated, the battle flag became more like a living weapon.

Grab the battle flag in your hand and wave it gently.

Countless blood lotuses rich in life energy appeared in the starry sky, and it seemed that each blood lotus contained a gentle magical power of a saint.

Even a powerful immortal can merge with it and unleash the combat power of a king.

With such a battle flag in hand, the strength of an army of 10,000 people can be increased by one realm. (A team composed of monks below the level of Saint.)
He waved the battle flag once again, and the blood lotuses that filled the starry sky turned into blood energy and flowed back into the battle flag.

He continued waving the battle flag, and black lotus appeared one after another in the void. They seemed to be magic lotuses formed by the condensation of death and murderous aura, full of terrifying killing power.

Even if a saint touches it, he may be killed by the magic lotus.

Moreover, this battle flag is a genuine magic weapon, which has the ability to devour the flesh and blood of monks and continue to evolve.

Even in extreme cases, by squeezing the original power of the battle flag, it is possible to summon the blood and energy clones of the saints used to refine the battle flag, which have 50% of the strength of the original body.

After realizing the various changes on the battle flag, Li Zhi put it away.

Then, a star-lit avenue appeared under his feet, extending to the Ninth Holy City.

"Open the city gates immediately and welcome the returning hero."

The guide on the city wall immediately ordered the gate to be opened to welcome Li Zhi, and personally led the crowd to the city gate.

"Master Changshou, thank you for resolving a disaster for the holy city." The guide welcomed Li Zhi very warmly.

"You are too polite, senior. As a trial-taker on the ancient road of the human race, since I have enjoyed the resources provided by the trial road, it is only natural for me to contribute to the ancient road." Li Zhi did not take credit for himself. In his opinion, killing a mere dozen saints and a group of insignificant soldiers and generals was not a problem at all.

"In order to celebrate Master Li's victory over the invading enemy and to promote the holy power of our human race, I propose that the whole city celebrate for three days to dispel the depression in everyone's hearts." The Saint King who was born in this city suggested.

"This is a very good idea. Our human race has just encountered some troubles, and we need a group of young geniuses like Taoist Changshou to step forward." The guide said with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, Li Zhi enjoyed the happiness of being welcomed by people lining the streets.

At the same time, in the temporary residences of some trial participants in the city, discussions about Li Zhi could be heard.

"What's so great about that? If I had the same skills as him, I would definitely be able to kill those invading enemies."

"How can we allow people like Changshou Daoist, who have a cultivation level above the standard, to enter our ancient human trial path? Isn't this clearly squeezing out the resources we deserve?"

"What is so extraordinary about that longevity Taoist? Are all the cultivators born on the Burial Emperor Star so extraordinary?"

"Should we go and visit him? Maybe we can look after each other on the ancient road in the future."

"You want to compete with Taoist Changshou? If you really have such courage, you should have gone to the Tenth City of the Human Race ten years ago."

The discussions among the trial participants did not reach Li Zhi's ears.

Li Zhi only stayed at the banquet for less than an hour before he was invited by the guide to another meeting hall in the palace.

"Master Li, you have made great contributions to the human race this time and you should be rewarded. But the situation is difficult now. A great war is taking place on the ancient road behind. I'm afraid that your reward cannot be paid." The guide told Li Zhi directly.

Then, the guardian beside him said: "We have a lot of rare secret techniques in our hands, which we can teach you as a reward."

"Two seniors, do you have a Divine Light Platform? I don't need any other rewards. I just need a Divine Light Platform to continue on my journey." Li Zhi said after thinking for a moment.

"Are you leaving?" said the guide of the Ninth City.

"The effect of this ancient trial road ahead on my training is becoming less and less effective. I want to get to the next level as soon as possible." Li Zhi said.

"There is a big war going on on the road ahead. Aren't you afraid of being dragged into it?" asked the guardian.

"There's a big battle ahead, which is exactly what I want." Li Zhi said.

Now that his Taoism has been raised to the eighth level of Sainthood, Li Zhi can increasingly feel the huge gap between himself and those trial-takers who are still stuck in the first few levels.

They are not even worthy of being Li Zhi's opponent.

After discussing with the Gulu Guardian, the guide directly met Li Zhi's request and gave Li Zhi the Divine Light Platform that originally belonged to the Gulu Guardian. Although a Divine Light Platform was not enough to offset all the merits of Li Zhi as a trialist, it was a win-win situation for them.

Then, Li Zhi asked, "Senior, have you ever met a female cultivator named Wang Yao? She is from the Burial Emperor Star, just like me, and is the heir of the Yaochi Ancient Sacred Land."

"You are looking for her?" The guide and the guardian spoke almost at the same time.

"Isn't she in the city?" Li Zhi had a bad feeling.

"You are late. Just three months ago, someone discovered a wandering life star with a faint fairy light deep in the starry sky of this star field. Wang Yao and a group of seed-level trialists did not want to waste time in the ninth level city, so they embarked on a journey to pursue the mysterious life star."

The guide also told Li Zhi a lot of information about the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi. She arrived at the ninth city of the human race a year ago, and after practicing in the city for half a year, she entered the depths of the starry sky to transcend the tribulation and become a saint.

After becoming a saint, her strength was no weaker than those seed-level trial-takers.

Moreover, on the day of his enlightenment, he killed a seed-level trial-taker who had reached the third level of sainthood.

At the same time, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi possessed the eight forbidden combat powers.

"She actually left the ancient road?" Li Zhi didn't know how to evaluate the choice of the Saint Girl of Yao Chi for a moment.

Soon, Li Zhi understood the reason why the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi left.

If she continued to walk with him, even if she could eventually reach the end of the ancient road safely, it would be done under Li Zhi's protection.

If you travel alone, even if you encounter more dangers, the experience will be better.

Seeing that the soul lamp left by the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi in his hand was still bright, Li Zhi knew that her life was not in danger.

As long as she doesn't encounter an enemy at the Great Sage level, or an opponent who is chasing her with imperial weapons.

The Quasi-Emperor Divine Tower in the hands of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is enough to protect her safety.

Let’s just separate.

After becoming a saint, one should embark on the journey alone.

Without the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi by his side to slow down his progress, Li Zhi estimated that the rest of his journey of training would probably proceed at a speed far beyond everyone's imagination.

After resting for two days in the ninth city of the human race, Li Zhi sacrificed the Divine Light Platform and disappeared into the starry sky.

After seeing Li Zhi off, the guide and the guardian of the ancient road all breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Li Zhi was heading to the star field where the tenth city of Gu Lu was located, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi and a group of trial-takers far away in another star field had successfully landed on the life asteroid that was wandering in the universe.

The entire asteroid was shrouded in a layer of mysterious fairy light.

The cultivation environment on the asteroid is excellent.

Because on that star, there is a mutated ancient star tree that is more than 300,000 years old, and it has almost reached the level of a demigod tree.

The mutated ancient star tree was extremely large. It almost formed a forest on the star full of land and ocean, occupying the area of ​​a continent and evolving into a primeval forest emitting mysterious starlight.

The layer of fairy light outside the stars is the starlight that escapes from the ancient tree and merges into the primordial magnetic barrier to produce a strange phenomenon.

At the same time, many star beasts with strange bloodlines were born on that ancient star.

The flesh and blood of those star beasts are very helpful for monks to strengthen their bodies.

At this moment, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi and another female cultivator were searching for a suitable place for retreat on the stars.

"Sister Wang, are you still planning to return to the Ninth Holy City?" The girl next to the Saint of Yao Chi suddenly asked when they arrived at a star-studded spiritual lake.

The girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she already possessed the Taoism of a saint. She was very smart and beautiful, and exuded a mischievous and lovely mood. It was obvious that she had an extraordinary origin.

"Sister Yan, do you think the results calculated by Taoist Qixing are accurate?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not answer her, but asked back.

"I believe in the calculation results of Taoist Qixing. Although his combat capability is not top-notch, the avenue of stars he practices is a kind of avenue suitable for calculating the secrets of heaven. With his current level of Taoism, there should be no problem in deducing the orbit of a star. Ten years later, this life star will wander to the star field where the 30th city of the human race is located. We can just take advantage of this wandering star to bypass the broken ancient trial road and continue to move forward." said the girl Yan Feiyan.

Seeing the hesitation flashing across Yao Chi Saint's face, Yan Feiyan continued, "Sister Wang, do you still want to wait for that longevity Taoist priest? If he is really as powerful as you say, it probably won't take him a year to catch up from the second level of the human race. But now three years have passed."

"Changshou, I'm sorry. For the glory of the Yao Chi Holy Land and to not cause you any trouble, I plan to walk the rest of the trial road by myself." The Saint of Yao Chi secretly apologized to Li Zhi in her heart.

She really wanted to go on the journey with Li Zhi, but as she overcame the tribulation and became a saint, and her identity was exposed, many people knew that she came from the ancient holy land of Yao Chi.

There are already many people who have compared her with Fairy Qingshi, Mu Guanghan, Yuxian and other outstanding female cultivators who are already famous in the ancient road.

As the heir of the ancient sacred land of Yao Chi, she is naturally proud of herself.

I don't want to be treated as a flower in a greenhouse.

In fact, it was inevitable that Li Zhi and the Saint Girl of Yao Chi parted ways on the ancient path of the human race.

The character of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is different from that of Ji Ziyue. She is not willing to stay by Li Zhi's side and act like a loner.

When she refined the source of Tao, completed a fairy pool transformation in the ancient Taoist temple in the second level, and went through several subsequent levels of training, her talent was strengthened again.

From having some qualities of a great sage, he transformed into a person with the true qualities of a great sage, or even the qualities of a quasi-emperor.

The effect of the Source of Tao in the hands of the Saint of Yao Chi is simply beyond imagination.

In particular, the "Western Emperor Sutra" that she practiced, in terms of the ability to develop and utilize the source of Tao, was much stronger than Di Tian who had previously obtained the source of Tao.

The purpose of refining the source of Tao is to enable cultivators to get closer to the Tao more easily.

However, the Source of Tao cannot achieve the same ability as the Innate Tao Embryo that allows cultivators to become close to all the great ways in heaven and earth.

The "Western Emperor Sutra" can allow the cultivator's physique to evolve towards the direction of the Taoist fetus.

Therefore, when the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was overcoming the tribulation and becoming a saint, she used the secret method in the "Western Emperor Sutra" to almost maximize the effect of the Source of Tao she had refined.

Her aptitude is comparable to that of half a congenital Dao fetus, which truly gives her the powerful aptitude to rival the first-tier cultivators on the ancient road.

The stronger the aptitude, the greater the potential. When you reach the later stage of the ancient human race, the speed of cultivation will increase faster.

Often, when one reaches the end of an ancient road, cultivators with strong aptitude can improve their cultivation to the level of a great sage.

However, for cultivators with insufficient qualifications, the limit is usually the Saint King level.

Even some people who have completed the ancient trial path are still unable to break through to the saint realm.

The talents of the monks on the ancient road vary greatly, and the gap between individuals becomes greater as time goes on.

Among these cultivators who have successfully landed on the life star that gave birth to such a powerful ancient star tree, the strength of the Second Level of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is considered to be top-notch.

In a one-on-one situation, no one else dared to say that they could definitely win against the Saint Lady of Yao Chi.

Yan Feiyan, who was beside her, followed her voluntarily because she admired the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

I hope to hold onto the big tree of the Saint of Yao Chi and walk to the end of the ancient road.
