Chapter 380 Return to Beidou
The pass is majestic and the monument is brilliant. The thirty-two names that have been nominated are like bright stars, shining brightly.

Or it may exude the aura of the origin of all things, or it may be a purple mist like a god or an immortal, or it may be a golden light with the rhythm of Buddha, or it may be a surging devil flame that captivates people's hearts...

Behind every name is a peerless genius.

The crystal monument nomination has a special meaning for most cultivators. Any cultivator who can get here and be successfully nominated can prove that he is one of the strongest people in the clan.

The nomination on the crystal monument is also to announce to all races in the universe the birth of a peerless strong man, dominating a region, being able to be respected within a race, and being respected by all races. This is what many cultivators dream of, and it is one of the best ways to become famous in the universe. Because without the Dao Fruit of the Great Saint level, it is impossible to leave a name on the crystal monument.

The nomination for the Crystal Monument is also a ticket to the path of becoming the Great Emperor, with the opportunity to compete with all the strongest races in the universe. Regardless of whether one can become an emperor in the end, this opportunity to compete with all the strongest races in the universe is also a rare opportunity.

But Li Zhi hesitated when his finger touched the 33rd position of the crystal wall.

In the end, he still did not leave his name. He just shook his head slightly, then retracted his finger, turned and left the crystal monument.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi who was beside Li Zhi was not a great sage and did not have the combat power of a great sage, so she could not leave her name on the crystal monument.

Many cultivators who have reached the end of the ancient road, because their cultivation has not reached the level of Great Sage, will choose to continue to other ancient roads to train for a period of time, and then return to the Xiongguan Crystal Monument to leave their names.

There are actually only a few cultivators like Li Zhi who have walked all the way to the end of the ancient road and have broken through to the Great Sage level.

Watching the crystal wall in front of the city gate disappear, Yao Chi Saint asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Changshou, why didn't you name your name on the crystal tablet?"

In her opinion, being nominated on the Crystal Monument at the 33rd position was enough to demonstrate Li Zhi's strength.

It also indicates that his cultivation speed is already among the best in the universe.

Moreover, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also knew that Li Zhi was less than two hundred years old.

A great sage who is less than two hundred years old is extremely rare among all the races in the entire universe.

"Nothing, I just think it's unnecessary."

Li Zhi looked normal, without any special emotion, as if he looked down on the crystal monument.

But when she looked at the stone pillars around her that towered into the nebula, and on which were engraved the marks of great emperors from ancient times to the present, the Saint Lady of Yao Chi had an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if whether or not her name was left on the crystal monument in this life would not affect others' attainment of emperorship.

Only Li Zhi understood in his heart that this golden age, which was said to be rare in the ages, was at best just a prosperous age for Ye Fan alone.

All the others are reduced to supporting roles. No matter how talented they are, or even if they can become emperors, in the end they are just bigger supporting roles.

In the bloody battle, the soldiers were covered with wounds, the blood flowed like a river, and countless lives were lost, but in the end they could not escape the mockery of fate.

He fought hard on the only true path, but in the end, he couldn't even see the chance of becoming an emperor, making all the ancient geniuses who were revived in this life look like a joke, even worse than the supporting roles of the contemporary generation.

A leaf covers the sky, obscuring not only the living beings of the time, but also makes those monks who have been sleeping in the divine source until now feel despair.

Moreover, Li Zhi's intuition told him that embarking on the only true path and fighting with the strongest races in the universe for the chance to become an emperor was not a suitable path for him to become an emperor.

It might even lock up his own talent, causing him to become the same "mediocre" monks as they have been calling themselves since ancient times.

Just by walking through the ancient trial road of the human race, Li Zhi felt as if he was being forcibly shaped by an unknown force.

It was as if there was an invisible force that wanted to shape him into a cultivator like those who had participated in the battles for the throne in ancient times.

But Li Zhi knows his own situation best.

If he follows the normal template of cultivation to become an emperor, I'm afraid all the "special things" that he has developed in his two lifetimes as a human would be completely lost.

This makes him no longer "special". Even if he can eventually become an emperor, he will not be much different from those supreme beings lurking in the forbidden zone of life.

Only by walking his own path to enlightenment can he have the opportunity to surpass the ancient emperors and great kings. Otherwise, he can only become one of them.

After becoming emperor, he watched his lifespan slip away day by day, but was powerless to do anything.

In the end, they can only utter helpless cries and place their hopes on the illusory path to becoming immortals.

Li Zhi knew that if one took the normal path to becoming an emperor, although the paths cultivated by those great emperors were different, how big would the difference be in the fruits of their cultivation among the cultivators who walked the same path?

Watching the ancient emperors, when they were old and frail, walk into the forbidden zone of life and seal themselves off, and then wait for the path to immortality to open.

You know, the upper limit of this road is extremely limited.

Li Zhi knew very well that the moment those ancient emperors and great kings placed their hopes of becoming immortals on the path to immortality, they were already dead.

Although he seemed to be still alive in the restricted area, he was actually no different from being dead.

Death in the light refers to the Supreme of the forbidden area.

Placing the hope of becoming an immortal on the path to immortality has deviated from the original intention of Emperor Huang Tian, ​​who used his body as a seed to evolve the secret realm cultivation method of the human body.

Cultivating the secret realm of the human body is the supreme method passed down by Emperor Huang Tian so that later generations can continue to practice in an environment where they cannot become immortals.

The immortal in the mortal world is the true fruit that one should pursue when practicing the secret realm of the human body.

Just like the "Original True Explanation" left by the Corpse Immortal Emperor, there are ways for cultivators to become immortals in the mortal world.

This behavior of being able to cultivate the fruit of immortality in the Dharma Ending Age without relying on any external force may be the foundation for establishing a true Immortal Emperor.

If Li Zhi practiced according to the path to enlightenment that all ancient emperors and great kings have taken, even if his final fruit of enlightenment was different from those of the ancient emperors and great kings, how big would the difference be?

It's not that Li Zhi is belittling himself, but he is well aware of how powerful the environment is in reshaping individuals.

When an individual eventually grows to a level where he or she can influence or even change the larger environment, the marks of that environment will have already been indelibly left on him or her.

Only when one is strong enough to completely shatter the old order and reshape a new and more powerful one can one get rid of the influence of the past.

Otherwise, even if you stand at the top of all living beings, there is actually no essential difference between you and the rest of the living beings.

The emperor will also suffer from the decline of qi and blood, and die of exhausted lifespan, which shows that the emperor is not the kind of life form that can transcend the shackles of heaven and earth.

Therefore, if you want to find a way to surpass the ancient emperors and great kings, you must find a path to enlightenment that is unique to you.

This is what Li Zhi really thinks at the moment.

Although the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi did not understand Li Zhi's true thoughts, she had no intention of continuing to ask.

For her, being able to reach the end of the Ancient Trial Road means that the purpose of this experience has been achieved.

It only took her a little over a hundred years to advance her cultivation from the level of the King of the Third Immortal Way when she set foot on the ancient road to the current level of the Sixth Heaven of the Sage King of the Fifth Immortal Way. It is almost certain that she will even become a powerful person at the level of the Sixth Immortal Great Sage in the future.

This was something she had not dared to imagine before she decided to embark on the ancient path.

This trip to the ancient trial road not only raised her talent to a higher level, but also raised her future ceiling to a higher level.

This ancient road trial journey saved her more than a hundred years of hard training time. If she had stayed in the Yao Chi Holy Land to practice, her cultivation level would probably still be lingering at the saint level, and it would even be unknown whether she could become a great saint in the future.

Unlike now, Yao Chi Saint Maiden feels that after returning to Yao Chi Holy Land and cultivating for more than a hundred years, she will have the opportunity to impact the Great Saint realm. If she succeeds in impacting the Great Saint realm, she will achieve the Great Saint Dao Fruit at the age of just over 300, and will be a first-rate existence in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Maybe in the future you will even have a chance to get a glimpse of the supreme style of the quasi-emperor realm.

Leading the Holy Land of Yao Chi with the body of the Great Sage is enough to support the Holy Land of Yao Chi in this increasingly chaotic golden age, and still maintain its aloof attitude.

"Let's go, it's time to return to Beidou." The two stayed in front of the pass for a few more days, and Li Zhi said to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Go home." After being away from home for more than a hundred years, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was quite homesick, and a trace of longing unconsciously appeared on her face.

Tearing the sky apart, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi disappeared from in front of the pass and stepped directly onto the starry sky passage opened by the Divine Light Platform.

After they left, this eternally silent fortress seemed to have not changed at all, nor was there any ripple caused by their departure.

But later, people came to Xiongguan from various ancient roads and saw the blank space after the 33rd number on the crystal stele. Only then did they realize that someone had been there.

However, the name behind the 33rd serial number is incomprehensible. Why would someone leave a small dot on the crystal monument as a name?
Did he encounter force majeure, or did he not want to leave his real name on the crystal monument?
From then on, the small dot behind the 33rd serial number on the crystal wall became a point of confusion for many later comers, and even caused a lot of speculation. However, Li Zhi didn't know that when his finger touched the crystal wall, it had already left an indelible mark of the avenue on the crystal wall.

However, compared with the marks of the Tao left by others with their names, his mark of the Tao seems a little unique.

At this time, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had already boarded a huge interstellar battleship.

After all, the Divine Light Platform is not a five-color altar, and it cannot directly teleport them from the star field where Xiongguan is located to the ancient Beidou star field.

They need to constantly adjust their coordinates in the starry sky.

Traveling is always boring, so Li Zhi took out the interstellar battleship for transportation.

Interstellar battleships have the ability to jump across the starry sky. Although they are not as fast as the Divine Light Station, their speed of traveling through the universe is not slow.

Sitting on the deck of the interstellar battleship, Li Zhi felt the various changes in himself.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was in a good mood. After boarding the warship, she planned to cook for herself to reward Li Zhi and thank him for his protection.

Before this, in the chaos, after surviving that rare chaos catastrophe, Li Zhi officially became a cultivator of the third level of the Great Saint.

However, in order to build a stronger foundation, he set up the Chaos Slashing Array in the chaos, and destroyed five legendary holy weapons, eventually reducing his own cultivation by two small realms.

He once again transformed himself into a Great Sage of the first level with an extremely solid foundation in Taoism.

Of course, he had to grind away the unnecessary skills not only to hone a more profound foundation in Taoism, but also because he had not yet completely developed the text of the Dragon Scroll in the "Great Dao and Longevity Sutra".

If one uses the great sage-level scriptures of "Innate Longevity Gong" to control the great sage's Dao fruit, it will affect the degree of completion of his Dao.

The secret realm of transforming into a dragon emphasizes the word "change".

When Emperor Huang Tian was opening up the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, he realized the "Nine Transformations of the True Dragon" which was almost the same as the Immortal King's method.

Although Li Zhi obtained nine Dao runes similar to the "Nine Transformations of True Dragon" when he opened up the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

However, although those runes are powerful, they are merely runes at the level of the myriad ways of heaven and earth, and are not even as powerful as the nine "Emperor" characters derived from the Great Emperor's scriptures.

If one were to use this as a foundation to evolve the cultivation texts of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, one could ultimately only evolve texts created by cultivators of a different level of enlightenment.

It is incomparable to the Dragon Scroll scriptures recorded in various ancient scriptures of the Great Emperors, and it is not very consistent with the path of immortality that he is practicing.

The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon is the way of transformation of the True Dragon, and the world today no longer possesses the origin of the Immortal King level.

At the same time, Li Zhi is still a human being. His spine has thirty-three vertebrae, and its shape is different from that of a real dragon.

The Nine Transformations of the True Dragon are not suitable for him.

If perhaps the legendary Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang are the most suitable for human cultivators to practice in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Moreover, the thirty-three vertebrae in the human body can correspond to the changes in the thirty-three heavens.

If the Tao undergoes thirty-three changes, it may become closer to Hunyuan Wuji and infinitely close to the essence of "Tao".

Therefore, Li Zhi had a bold idea.

Draw on the explanations about the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm in the scriptures of different races in the universe, and allow your own Dragon Transformation Secret Realm to possess thirty-three great changes.

Every "change of the Tao" is a practice to expand the coverage of the Tao, and a practice to enhance the foundation of the Tao.

If he completes thirty-three "Dao changes", the Dao he cultivates should be able to encompass all changes in the laws of heaven and earth to the greatest extent, and it may even be possible to make the Dao's inclusiveness comparable to the Chaos Dao cultivated by the Chaos Body in the legend.

Li Zhi's physical body already has a cultivation method that can rival that of the chaotic body.

Now, all that’s left is cultivation at the level of the primordial spirit and the great way.

The transformation of the primordial spirit involves the cultivation in the Xiantai Secret Realm, which he will consider only after he has rebuilt the Hualong Secret Realm.

Now that his cultivation has reached the Great Sage level, his soul has naturally transformed to the Great Sage level, and his immortal platform has also transformed into a Great Sage level immortal platform.

Therefore, there is no rush to rebuild the Xiantai Secret Realm.

In Li Zhi's plan, the scripture of the "Great Dao of Longevity" that turned into a tornado should be centered on the immortal great Dao he cultivated, allowing his own great Dao to undergo thirty-three changes, thus undergoing a complete transformation.

Although it is not like the divine silkworm, every time it transforms, it will change into another species in terms of form and origin.

However, simulating the Great Dao of another race at the Great Dao level is also a kind of cultivation of the ultimate change of the Great Dao, which is deeply in line with the true meaning of "change" in the Secret Realm of Dragon Transformation.

I dare not imagine what level of Dao his Dao will eventually transform into after completing thirty-three "Dao changes".

Of course, it is possible to transform into a path that transcends the limits of the world, but it is also possible for the reverse transformation to occur, transforming into a path that is far inferior to that of ordinary people.

The changes in the world are full of unpredictability.

Moreover, the "change of Tao" cannot be changed by imagination alone. The thirty-three "changes of Tao" in Li Zhi's plan all have templates.

That is to choose the thirty-three most powerful races in the universe that have given birth to ancient emperors or great emperors.

For example, the Immortal Phoenix, True Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, Holy Spirit, Dapeng, Earth-Suppressing Beast, Fighting Saint Ape, and so on, the thirty-three most powerful races in the universe.

The road to becoming an immortal will soon be opened in Beidou. At that time, it will become the focus of attention of the strong from all races in the universe and will attract strong people from countless races to come.

At that time, Li Zhi will naturally have the opportunity to meet the strong person he needs.

The interstellar battleship jumped all the way towards Beidou, and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi suddenly discovered that they seemed to have deviated from their course.

Yao Chi Saint asked, "Changshou, did you enter the wrong coordinates for Beidou? It looks like there is an ancient starry road leading to the Eternal Star Region ahead."

"That's right. Before returning to Beidou, I plan to go to the Eternal Ancient Star Region first." Li Zhi said.

“What are we going to the Eternal Star Domain for? Didn’t the previous battle between Beidou and Eternal cripple the forces in the Eternal Star Domain?” said the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"I am very interested in the life evolution liquid of the Eternal Star Domain, the method of bloodline cloning, and the method of extracting fragments of the Great Dao from the bloodline," Li Zhi explained.

The cultivators on the Eternal Ancient Star take the path of integrating technology and the great way, which is considered a superior method of cultivation in the entire universe.

The Eternal Ancient Star once gave birth to two great emperors, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this path.

Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the Eternal Ancient Star Region on an interstellar battleship.

Although more than a hundred years have passed since the war between the Eternal Ancient Star Domain and the Beidou Ancient Clan, the impact of that war still had a profound impact on the Eternal Ancient Star.

The number of masters above the level of saints has dropped sharply, and just over a hundred years is not enough for them to fully recover.

In this way, Li Zhi, who came to the Eternal Ancient Star Domain, easily obtained all the methods he wanted.

It took no more than a month before Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi set out on the journey back to the ancient star of Beidou.

The journey back to the Big Dipper was not over until a huge ancient star appeared in their sight.

The feeling given to them by the ancient Big Dipper at this moment was completely different from when they left, with a strong breath of life permeating the air.

More prosperous than the most prosperous ancient star in the universe.

The Dao was over the heaven and earth, and vital energy was gushing out. The entire ancient star seemed to have ended its eternal hibernation and awakened completely from its slumber.

The five continents, Zhongzhou, Donghuang, Ximo, Nanling, and Beiyuan, are pieced together like a super huge five-color altar, which gives people endless reverie.

"Finally home!"
