Chapter 364 Mythical Ancient Hunting Area
"It's finally out."
In the ancient domain of Tianzun, in an empty area of starry sky, the void suddenly cracked.
A starry avenue extended out from the crack in the void, and then Li Zhi and the other two, who had disappeared for several years, returned to the starry sky again.
After practicing for several years on the Ancient Chaos Continent, the three people's cultivation had all improved to varying degrees.
Refine your body and gain enlightenment in the cosmic lake, and hone your skills in battle on the ancient continent.
Although only a few years had passed, the three of them felt as if they were in a different world.
Although the laws of the universe in the lake are incomplete, they are greatly different from the laws of heaven and earth in the outside universe. Except for the incomplete parts, the laws of the universe in other parts seem to be more mysterious and profound than the laws of the outside world.
Xin Ming and Cang Ming even speculated that practicing in a place where the power of the Great Dao was so strong could forge a foundation that was far more powerful than practicing in the outside world.
Only Li Zhi knew the gap between the foundation of the Great Dao forged in a complete world and the foundation of the Great Dao forged in today's incomplete universe.
There is no possibility of winning against the monks of the same class.
Comparing the period of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths after the original ancient world was broken, the huge gap between the cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the cultivators of foreign lands at the same level can be seen.
If it weren't for the emergence of a transcendent existence like Emperor Huangtian who was beyond ancient history, the primitive ancient world would have no hope when facing foreign lands.
One can imagine how powerful the mortal cultivators were at Li Zhi’s current level during the ancient immortal era, when the heaven and earth of the primitive ancient world was still intact.
It is true that diving cannot support dragons.
Fortunately, although the power of heaven and earth in the outside universe is not as strong as the power of heaven and earth in the ancient times of immortals, the laws of the great Dao below the realm of immortals are relatively complete.
Although the Heavenly Heart Seal left by Emperor Huang Tian cannot be compared with the power of the Heavenly Heart Seal when it was first created after the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were restored, it does a good job of ensuring the integrity of the Great Dao.
Although all the immortal laws were cut off, the laws below the immortal level were still intact.
Although the foundation of the forged Dao is weak, the Dao is relatively complete.
As long as you change the world and replenish your own lack of power in a place where the essence of heaven and earth is extremely abundant, you will be able to make up for the lack of power in Taoism soon.
Having realized the strength of the Dao in different worlds, Li Zhi was no longer complacent about his own cultivation.
If one is unable to break the shackles of heaven and earth and transcend the barriers of the myriad laws of heaven and earth, even if one has the opportunity to enter the fairyland in the future, the foundation one has built will be much weaker than that of the fairyland creatures in the same realm.
Only by breaking the limits can one truly accumulate the skills to become an immortal.
Although ordinary emperors seem powerful, in fact, the skills they have accumulated are not enough to successfully overcome the calamity and become immortals even if they move to another world.
Only those Heavenly Emperors who are able to step on the Heavenly Heart Seal have truly accumulated enough skills to become immortals. They only need to enter a world where they can become immortals, and they will soon be able to overcome the tribulation and become immortals.
The tribulation of becoming an immortal is much more dangerous than the tribulation of becoming an emperor.
Even in the ancient times of immortals, there were many powerful people who could become the supreme beings of humanity, but those supreme beings of humanity who could truly become immortals were very rare.
It often takes hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of Taoism.
Even if one is a descendant of the Immortal King, it will take thousands or tens of thousands of years to become an immortal.
After witnessing the differences in the laws of the universe in different universes, Li Zhi is no longer satisfied with being comparable to the chaotic body.
Although, in today's universe, the chaotic body is already the limit of the physical body that the heaven and earth can accommodate.
However, if one wants to become an immortal, it is far from enough to just reach the level of a chaotic body.
One must transcend the chaotic body, even far transcend the chaotic body, before one can truly attain enlightenment and become an immortal in the future.
Of course, Li Zhi would not be too ambitious and unrealistic to think that he could surpass the chaotic body of the same level now.
Before one has the ability to penetrate the myriad laws of heaven and earth, any talk of transcending the chaotic body is false.
The innate chaotic body is the limit of all laws of heaven and earth in today's universe.
For a cultivator, no matter his physical body, soul, or magic power, as long as he can match the innate chaotic body of the same level, it means that he has reached the limit state that the heaven and earth can accommodate.
If all the physical fitness indicators of the innate chaotic body are one hundred.
Then, Li Zhi's current physical strength is over ninety-eight, his soul strength is over ninety-five, his Dao law strength is over ninety, and his life origin is one hundred.
The so-called degree of thickness of the origin of life refers to the maximum length of life that a cultivator naturally possesses after he has achieved great success in his cultivation.
The Great Saint Body has been cultivated to an alternative level of enlightenment, with a maximum lifespan of around fifteen thousand years, which is almost the same as that of an ordinary emperor.
For cultivators with physiques such as divine body and king body, after they have cultivated to the level of alternative enlightenment, their lifespan is only about 10,000 years, which is still a big gap from that of the emperor.
After Ye Fan achieved enlightenment, his life span in his first life was about 26,000 years, but when he was 18,000 years old, he began to enter old age.
After the Chaos Body was achieved, his lifespan was even more exaggerated than Ye Fan's Holy Body. At the age of 20,000, he was still in his prime, with blood and energy like the sea. If he had not gone to fight on the road to immortality, God knows how long he could have lived.
Since Li Zhi started practicing, the techniques he has been practicing have placed particular emphasis on the accumulation of the origin of life.
After consuming countless fortunes, the source of his life has become more profound than that of a saint at the same level.
Although it cannot be compared with the chaotic body, judging from the fact that he can no longer continue to improve the thickness of the origin of life, he has already reached the limit that the heaven and earth can allow.
After this training in the Universe Lake, Li Zhi believed that it would not be long before his physical body could truly transform to a level comparable to the Chaos Body. As for the strength of his soul and the laws of the universe, they would soon reach the limit of what his physical body could bear.
Because the accumulation of the primordial spirit and the laws of the Dao cannot be achieved overnight like the physical body with the help of immortal treasures and good fortune. They need the accumulation of time to complete the transformation.
Li Zhi remembered that there was a soul pond on the other side of the myth.
Ordinary cultivators do not know how to use the Soul Pond to practice.
However, the "Ancient Scripture of the Gods" left behind by the Immortal Emperor records a method of using the energy of the Soul Pond to transform one's own soul.
Li Zhi believed that once his soul completed its transformation, the strength of his spirit would be able to reach the limit that his physical body could accommodate.
By then, he will be able to truly rival the Chaos Body.
What Li Zhi had previously called being on par with the Chaos Body was nothing more than a form of self-motivation.
Now, after his body has undergone a complete transformation with the help of the Cosmic Lake, he has truly felt certain attributes of his body and what it feels like to have touched the limits of heaven and earth.
It's as if invisible shackles have appeared on the body, making it impossible to see the path of further evolution ahead.
Perhaps, this is the feeling that only those who have achieved enlightenment in an alternative way can understand.
The so-called alternative achievers are cultivators whose cultivation of the Great Dao has reached the limit that the heaven and earth can accommodate. They can no longer see where the road lies, and can only continue to break through by proving the Dao and becoming emperors.
However, most of those who have achieved enlightenment in other ways have only cultivated the Great Dao to the limit that the heaven and earth can accommodate, but their physical body and soul may not necessarily reach that limit.
Otherwise, the Holy Body would not have left behind the supreme reputation of challenging the Emperor.
After the holy body is fully developed, it reaches another level of enlightenment. Their physical body and the laws of the great way they cultivate have all reached the limit that the heaven and earth can accommodate, with the exception of their primordial spirit, which is slightly weaker.
If the primordial spirit also reaches the limit that the heaven and earth can accommodate, it is no longer a holy body, but a chaotic body.
Based on this basic characteristic, Li Zhi vaguely guessed why the Chaos Body could ignore the existence of a Great Emperor and directly achieve enlightenment. Because the various properties of the Chaos Body could almost reach the limit that the world could accommodate, after the fusion of various forces, it could easily break through the limit of the world.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi vaguely saw a bright path to enlightenment.
It doesn’t matter whether someone attains enlightenment before him or not.
As long as each of his attributes can reach the limits of heaven and earth, breaking the myriad shackles formed by the Heavenly Heart Seal would be a piece of cake.
The fact that Ye Fan was able to break the curse that prevented the Holy Body from achieving enlightenment had a lot to do with the fact that his soul was far more powerful than those of the previous Great Holy Bodies.
After the training in the cosmic lake, the biggest gain was not that his body became stronger again. The real gain was that he could see the gap between himself and the chaotic body.
After consuming a vast amount of chaotic essence and copying the great laws of the ancient times in the universe lake, the Chaos Illuminating Mirror truly activated the upper limit of the attributes of the chaotic body.
Let Li Zhi truly have a relatively complete chaotic body attribute data template.
The gap does exist, but it is not as big as Li Zhi imagined.
Li Zhi's physical body used to be at level ninety-five, but now it's around ninety-eight or ninety-nine.
It seems like a difference of only three or four points, but for a truly strong person, it is enough to decide life or death.
Feeling the breath of the universe, Li Zhi, Cang Ming, and Xin Ming, the three of them, simultaneously began to sit in the starry sky to meditate.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, dazzling lightning began to flash in the cold and dark starry sky, illuminating the entire dark star field.
Li Zhi and Cang Ming quickly felt the breath of the heavenly tribulation and ended their enlightenment.
"My Saint King Tribulation is coming, two seniors, please be careful." Xin Ming said to Li Zhi and Cang Ming with a happy face.
Then he rushed into the sea of thunder and began to go through the tribulation of becoming a Holy King.
Li Zhi and Cang Ming were not surprised by Xin Ming's breakthrough in cultivation.
Previously, when they were practicing on the ancient chaotic continent, their cultivation levels had each improved by a small level, but at that time they were experiencing thunder tribulations in the chaos outside the ancient continent.
Now, after returning to the universe, they once again felt the growth of their Taoism, but as Saint Kings, this increase in Taoism was not enough for them to survive the tribulation again.
But Xin Ming was different. He was just a saint before. The amount of Taoism he needed to accumulate to advance to a small realm was far less than that of Li Zhi and Cangming.
The previous tribulation in chaos left Li Zhi with an unforgettable impression.
The power of the heavenly tribulation is much stronger than the tribulation in the universe.
Especially the thunder tribulation that Li Zhi went through when his physical body broke through to the Great Sage level ahead of time was extremely terrifying.
Even the divine thunder of heavenly tribulation directly split the chaos and opened up a small world in the chaos.
However, before the newly born chaotic little world could stabilize, it was destroyed by the stronger divine thunder summoned by Li Zhi when he used the Heavenly Tribulation Slashing Technique to melt his body.
Having personally experienced the birth and death of a small chaotic world, Li Zhi's understanding of the secrets of the human body has been further deepened.
Gradually, he was able to understand why the body of the Heavenly Venerable could transform into huge stars after his death.
The bodies of the powerful emperors can no longer be measured simply by flesh and blood.
In essence, the physical body of an emperor-level strongman is no different from the newborn stars that Li Zhi saw in the cosmic lake. They are both a kind of carrier that can carry all the laws of heaven and earth.
However, there are still some things that Li Zhi cannot understand, and he needs to reach a high enough level before he can understand them.
The Saint King Tribulation that Xin Ming went through was not that terrifying. After his body had undergone a transformation, Xin Ming quickly passed the thunder tribulation and successfully transformed into a Saint King.
In Li Zhi's opinion, it is easy for Xin Ming to become a Saint King with his talent, but it is not easy to become a Great Sage.
Moreover, after he becomes the Saint King, his cultivation speed will definitely drop significantly.
The rapid growth of Taoism in the past will no longer exist. The speed of Taoism's growth is like directly changing from a car to an ox cart.
The Sage King Dao Fruit is already the upper limit of the talent that his divine body can bear. The closer his cultivation is to the peak of the Sage King, the slower his cultivation speed will be.
If he doesn't get amazing enough luck or encounter strong enough opportunities in the future, I'm afraid that becoming a king of heaven will be the limit of what he can achieve in this life.
Whether or not one can attain the fruit of a great saint in the future, one can only say that there is such a possibility, but the probability is less than 10%.
Seeing Xin Ming successfully survive the thunder tribulation and sit cross-legged in the starry sky to consolidate his cultivation, Cang Ming said to Li Zhi: "Daoyou Li, I was able to see the Universe Lake this time thanks to your help. I wonder where you will go to practice next?"
"I plan to go to the ancient trial roads of other tribes to see the scenery." Li Zhi said truthfully.
"If you are not in a hurry, I have a good place to go. The scenery there will not be worse than the ancient trial roads of various races." Cangming said confidently.
"Where?" Li Zhi asked, feeling a little curious.
"Mythical ancient hunting area." Cangming said confidently.
"Has the ancient mythical road been opened?" Li Zhi asked.
"It has nothing to do with the ancient mythological road. The star coordinates of the ancient mythological hunting area were passed down by my ancestors. My ancestors said that when our descendants have reached the point where there is no further improvement in our cultivation, we can try to go to the ancient hunting area to look for opportunities for breakthroughs." Cangming said.
"This information should be a secret of your lineage, why do you want to share it with me?" Li Zhi asked.
"Because fellow Daoist clearly had the ability to kill me, but he didn't. Instead, he treated me with courtesy and invited me to go to the Universe Lake to temper myself. He even gave me a portion of the Chaos God's Blood." As a descendant of gods and demons, Cangming has seen too many cruel realities.
As star giants and descendants of gods and demons, the essence and blood in their bodies are comparable to ancient medicine kings and are immortal treasures coveted by many races.
Even after their death, their bodies will not be spared by other monks.
He felt unprecedented respect from Li Zhi, and Li Zhi never treated him as a prey from beginning to end.
It made him feel that Li Zhi was a true friend worth making close friends with.
Moreover, he discovered that Li Zhi had amazing abilities. Perhaps if they went to the mythical ancient hunting area together, they would be able to gain better fortune there.
Although his cultivation has reached the seventh level of Saint King.
However, his talent has already been realized, and he is nearly two thousand years old. If he cannot break free from the shackles of his talent and break through to the Great Sage level before his energy and blood decay, he may never be able to break through to the Great Sage realm in this lifetime.
As the descendants of chaotic gods and demons, if they cannot break through to the level of Great Sage, they will never be able to exert the unparalleled divine power that the bloodline of gods and demons should have.
Many methods and magical powers of the chaotic gods and demons cannot be used.
"Thank you for the invitation, fellow Taoist. I am just planning to visit the other side of God." Li Zhi gladly accepted his invitation.
Cangming has a simple mind and extraordinary strength. He actively invites him to search for good fortune together, saving him the time of searching for the other side of the myth.
"Do you want to take this kid from the God Clan with you?" Then Cangming looked at Xin Ming who was consolidating his cultivation.
"Take him with you. The God Clan has an extraordinary heritage. Perhaps he can provide us with unexpected help on the other side of mythology." Li Zhi said after thinking for a while.
He believed that Xin Ming would never leave after hearing that they were going to the other side of the myth.
The other side of the myth, in the near future, that is where all the geniuses from the ancient trial roads will gather.
