Chapter 379 The Last Stage of the Human Race Ancient Road
The stars are brilliant and the divine light is endless.
A staircase paved with bluestone slabs suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.
It seems that this bluestone path is the only way to the final level of the human race.
After going through the trials and tribulations of the Wall of Gods and Demons, Li Zhi has now become a genuine Great Sage.
After surviving the Great Saint Tribulation in the chaos, he used the power of creation in the heavenly tribulation to open up a huge small world in the chaos, and placed the severed wall of gods and demons in that small world.
And scattered countless seeds of spiritual medicine in that small world in the sky.
Then he completely sealed up that small world, which made the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi quite strange.
At that time, Li Zhi simply said: "Since you have become a great sage, it is worthwhile to leave a secret trial realm for future generations."
Although the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi could not understand Li Zhi's train of thought, she did not say much.
The trial effect of the Wall of Gods and Demons was very good. After several years of training, her cultivation level was raised to the sixth level of the Saint King.
Although she cannot be compared with Li Zhi who directly survived the Great Saint Tribulation in the chaos, her cultivation has also caught up with the first-tier geniuses on the Ancient Trial Road.
Strong strength naturally brings strong confidence.
The sudden appearance of such a quaint bluestone stairway in the universe seems somewhat strange.
However, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had no fear at all and directly climbed onto the bluestone path leading to the last city gate on the ancient trial road of the human race.
Walking on the bluestone path, you can hear faint divine sounds in your ears, as if gods and demons are chanting scriptures, or like an ancient emperor is preaching, giving people a feeling of enlightenment and peace of mind and body.
It seems that all the fatigue accumulated along the way will disappear under the influence of that special Taoist rhyme.
"What a wonderful bluestone road." After walking for a short distance, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi exclaimed.
"It's really extraordinary." Li Zhi also felt a relaxing mood contained in this bluestone path.
Just as the two were about to continue on their way, a shout suddenly came from behind.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi subconsciously turned around and slapped the void behind him. The surging palm power condensed into a huge void handprint that covered the sky and the sun in the starry sky, as if it would wipe out an entire star field. The ancient bluestone road under his feet began to shake.
The aura of the Great Sage permeated the palm print, making the monk who called out to them feel the threat of death.
"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. We are not enemies." The three men shouted hurriedly, under pressure, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi dispersed the palm force that was about to hit them, and then asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the Three Heroes of Kunlun." The three men, with embarrassed looks on their faces, their hair crowns askew and their moon-white clothes soaked with sweat, hastily introduced themselves.
"The Three Heroes of Kunlun? Never heard of them." Li Zhi looked at the three embarrassed Holy Kings and shook his head slightly.
"We are just losers, not worthy of being remembered by Taoist Changshou." Seeing that Li Zhi had no intention of continuing to attack, the three heroes of Kunlun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yaochi with great fear.
"Do you know me?" Li Zhi asked.
"We passed by the 99th Gate of the Human Race before, and heard the ancient senior who protected the Dao talk about the deeds of the Taoist priest. We were filled with admiration. We couldn't help but speak when we met the Taoist priest here."
The Three Heroes of Kunlun had never met anyone who would attack as soon as he heard "Daoyou, please stay." The terrifying palm power of the Great Sage just now scared them half to death.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Li Zhi nodded at them, then turned around and left with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.
"This long-lived Taoist priest is surprisingly so powerful that he has already achieved the Great Sagehood. Isn't it said that he is not good at fighting?" said one of the Three Heroes of Kunlun.
“It seems that the information we got before was wrong. This long-lived Taoist priest might be the real giant lurking under the water. No matter whether it is the Human King, Emperor Tian, the Great Demon God, or the Fairy Qingshi, the Saint Body, or the Tyrant Body, I am afraid that none of them have gone as far as this long-lived Taoist priest on the road of cultivation.” Tiangang Taoist, one of the Three Heroes of Kunlun, took out a notebook and began to record.
"It seems that our decision to hurry on and arrive at the last level early was the right one. If we stay here, we may be able to witness countless peerless geniuses hiding behind the light." One of the three heroes of Kunlun said.
Only after seeing the backs of Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi disappear at the end of the ancient bluestone road did they follow closely behind them.
At the end of the ancient bluestone road, the starlight is as bright as water. Accompanied by mysterious and hazy clouds, there is a magnificent fairy city located in the starry sky.
The ancient city was surrounded by auspicious aura and countless stars, and it was majestic and magnificent. Its scale was far greater than any city pass Li Zhi had seen on the ancient road before.
It was as if a black dragon was lying on the city wall, shining with a black and gold luster, and there was a faint layer of dark red halo covering the entire ancient city.
The halo seemed to be formed by spots of blood, as if the blood of powerful warriors who had fought for eternity was shed here, dyeing the barrier of the city defense formation dark red.
A giant city gate tower, hundreds of feet high, stands at the end of the ancient bluestone road. It is magnificent and majestic, exuding a shocking sense of oppression.
The two open city gates were made of galactic magic sand mixed with various kinds of magic iron. They were different in color from the city walls and flowed with a dreamy glow, as if opening their arms to welcome guests from all directions.
The entire ancient city is sparkling with a layer of precious light, like a seamless treasure.
Li Zhi and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi walked straight into the city without encountering any obstacles.
The ancient city is bustling with people coming and going, and the aura of saints is everywhere.
Walking on the street, Saint Yao Chi said with emotion: "The last city of the human race has an extraordinary atmosphere. It really gathers countless powerful people."
"The only true road has not been opened, so this city naturally becomes a good place for trial-takers who have reached the end to recuperate." Li Zhi said.
Afterwards, the two of them walked, admiring the various sights in the ancient city, and headed towards the central square of the ancient city.
On the street near the central square of the ancient city, Li Zhi and his companions met the Three Heroes of Kunlun again.
When Tian Gang Daoist, one of the Three Heroes of Kunlun, saw the two of them, he hurried over and said, "Daoist Changshou, Fairy Yaochi, I have already reserved a fairy banquet in Zuixian Tower to express my apologies."
Zuixianlou is an old restaurant in the city. Li Zhi had heard of that place from Gu Lin a long time ago. It is said that both Wushi Emperor and Qing Emperor had visited this restaurant for a drink.
"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist." Li Zhi did not refuse Taoist Tiangang's invitation and nodded slightly.
"Please come in, Taoist priest. Please come in, fairy." The three heroes of Kunlun immediately smiled and greeted them hurriedly.
Then, the five of them entered a large restaurant.
In the restaurant, there are magnificent buildings, carved beams and painted pillars, and there are many beautiful female monks walking around, serving food and pouring wine. They are like a group of fairies, some are elegant and otherworldly, some are enchanting and charming, and some are hot and bold, which is pleasing to the eye.
After they entered the restaurant, they did not attract the attention of other guests.
Perhaps it’s because Li Zhi and his group are not well-known.
After some drinks and chatting about some gossip, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi said goodbye and left.
This made the three heroes of Kunlun a little disappointed. "Changshou, should we go back to Beidou directly or go to the only true road?" Walking on the street, Yaochi Saint suddenly asked.
They have learned from the Tiangang Taoist that the only true path has not yet been opened.
"Let's go and take a look first." Li Zhi said.
Afterwards, Li Zhi left the 108th Checkpoint with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.
After passing through a sky shrouded in chaotic energy, they entered a silent starry sky.
In the starry sky, there stands a majestic pass, surrounded by chaotic energy. There is no one in front of the pass, but there is an eternal atmosphere flowing.
In front of the pass, there are huge stone pillars standing one after another, towering into the nebula, like pillars supporting the sky, majestic and towering, exuding the aura of immortality.
Each stone pillar is engraved with the mark of an ancient emperor or great king.
With the mark of the Human Emperor, the stone pillar is surrounded by the energy of the yin meridian and the roar of humanity is endless, as if telling a human epic.
There is the imprint of the Monk Emperor, as if Mount Sumeru and the Great Leiyin Temple appeared, demonstrating the way and principles of Amitabha Buddha.
There is the mark of the ruthless emperor, a grimace mark, a sour smile with traces of tears, like the life of a ruthless man.
There is the mark of the Void Emperor, an ancient mirror, a residual image, fighting to death, quelling the turmoil in the Seven Forbidden Zones, and telling the past of the Void.
Bearing the mark of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, he uses the Chaos Bell to suppress the past and present, and turns his back on all living things, with no end in sight.
Bearing the mark of the Green Emperor, a Chaos Green Lotus suppresses the heavens for eternity, looks down upon the past and present, and reshapes the universe.
……
Dozens of huge stone pillars stood there, engraved with the marks of the emperors from the ancient times to the prehistoric times, as if telling the loneliness of the emperors.
Perhaps, they are using this method to inspire future generations and let more people stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
The loneliness of having no rivals in the world may be revealed at this moment.
Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi stood in front of the stone pillars, feeling the immortal Taoist rhyme emanating from the eternal and indestructible marks.
"The artistic conception of the emperors on these stone pillars is too profound and cannot be comprehended at all." After comprehending for a moment, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi could only shake her head helplessly.
"Stand beside me." Li Zhi said to the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.
The marks of so many emperors and kings gathered here, how can it be wasted.
"Do you have a way to achieve longevity?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.
"I do have some ideas." Li Zhi nodded.
Then, under the shocked gaze of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, a mysterious fairy tree that seemed to be surrounded by the laws of heaven and earth flew out from Li Zhi's Taoist palace.
Then the fairy tree grew rapidly, even taller than the stone pillars.
In an instant, in front of the eternally silent pass, the sound of Tao was like thunder, the laws were like the sea, and one immortal imperial avenue after another emerged between heaven and earth.
"This……"
The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi looked extremely shocked, as if she had never thought that she would have the chance to see such a scene.
"Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, and concentrate on comprehending these great principles." Li Zhi's voice sounded in the heart of the Saint of Yao Chi at the right time.
At the same time, a divine light emitting a strong power of enlightenment fell from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Tree and sank into the immortal platform of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi. In a moment, she entered the deepest level of enlightenment.
Li Zhi also showed a hint of surprise on his face, thinking to himself: "It really works."
Using the marks left by these emperors and kings as the guide to the great way, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Tree as the medium, and the secret method of stealing the secrets of heaven as the means, the imperial great way that once suppressed all the ways in heaven and earth is re-established.
Although it is not the complete avenue of the emperor or king, it also draws in some of the true rhyme of the emperor's avenue.
Afterwards, Li Zhi began to attain enlightenment there.
The roar of the avenue was deafening, and countless chaotic energies began to emerge in front of the pass, as if recreating a glorious scene from the ages.
The scene of the mysterious Emperor's Avenue reappearing on earth lasted for a month before disappearing.
In other words, there is no one in front of the pass, otherwise it is hard to say how much trouble it will cause.
Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi reaped huge rewards.
"Longevity, how did you do it?" After waking up, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi still felt incredible.
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go and see the ruins here." Li Zhi didn't want to tell the secret. Then, the two of them walked around the pillar, looking at the ancient relics, the sacred stone, and the wall.
Finally they stopped in front of the tightly closed gate of Xiongguan.
The pass is deserted, with no one guarding it, and no one knows who will open it in the future.
The gate was closed, with a huge bronze ring of an animal head hanging on it. The city wall was tall and dull, as if no one had been there for a long time.
Li Zhi stepped forward and knocked lightly on the copper ring. With a slight buzzing sound, a huge monument appeared in front of the gate.
It manifested silently, exuding a thrilling aura, and there were faint waves of imperial power spreading, which was breathtaking.
The stone tablet is towering into the clouds, majestic and magnificent. The front side is like a crystal mirror, with flowing luster that can reflect a person's shadow. The four corners and the sides and back are very dim, simple and natural, no different from ordinary stone tablets.
Li Zhi learned from Gu Lin everything that needs to be paid attention to here. The final and only true path will not be opened too early. It will wait for the majority of trial-takers to appear, giving all living beings enough time.
Before this, the pass was tightly closed and could not be opened. This crystal monument would block the city. The monks who came here only needed to engrave their names and leave a mark of their true identity.
In the future, once the pass is opened, no matter where you are, a divine gate will appear to lead the trial-takers directly to this place.
At this moment, someone has already carved a name on the crystal monument.
Every name was glowing. There were thirty-two people in total. The iron hooks and silver strokes were vigorous and powerful, blooming with divine clouds and shining with a dreamy luster, as if giving life to every name, like a magic lamp that was always burning.
"The first name is actually Taichu. Could it be related to the Taichu Ancient Mine?" Yao Chi Saint Maiden said in surprise.
But Li Zhi kept looking down and saw a number of unfamiliar names, all of which exuded a unique aura of the Tao.
Finally, he raised his hand and was about to write his name at the thirty-third position.
But the moment he touched the crystal monument, he withdrew his hand.
