Chapter 64 Colorful Phoenix Blood (Subscription Request)
There was silence and pitch black all around. I couldn't sense the breath or location of my companions. There was no glimpse of light or even the passage of time.
It was empty without any fulcrum, as if I was in space, but not floating back and forth. It was also as if I was locked in an invisible dark room and could only hear my own heartbeat.
The feeling of being taken into the magical weapon of Grand Elder Chen Yin was simply terrible.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but finally, after a shaking of the earth and the sky, Li Zhi felt a gentle pulling force throwing him out.
After landing, everything around me was gray and I had no idea where I was.
Three meters in front of them, the tall figure of Supreme Elder Chen Yin and the halo emanating from his body illuminated an area of ten meters in radius, allowing everyone to easily distinguish up from down, left from right.
After Supreme Elder Chen Yin released the seven little guys from the magic weapon, he did not explain to them where they were.
He just left them with his back and stood in front, watching something unknown.
Afterwards, Jia Changming, Le Yao, You You, Wang Zifeng, Huo Feiyan, Hua Yunlong and Li Zhi, the seven of them were arranged in order of height and stood in a row behind Grand Elder Chen Yin.
At the same time, he looked around, hoping to determine which holy place he had come to.
Unfortunately, everything was gray, and their vision could not see more than ten meters away. Even the things under their feet did not feel like they were stepping on soil, but as if they were stepping on a solid void.
Although the seven people were curious, no one asked.
As if he had found his target, Supreme Elder Chen Yin stepped forward.
Li Zhi and seven others hurriedly followed.
The group traveled for dozens of miles in the gray space before they saw an area full of starry sky.
Under the shining starlight, everyone discovered that they seemed to have come to a mysterious space shrouded in gray mist.
The starlight ahead is so dazzling that it is difficult to see what can emit such bright starlight.
However, as they entered the area illuminated by starlight, the ground beneath their feet turned into real rock.
The feeling of being down to earth seemed to make Le Yao and the others feel relieved.
However, Li Zhi began to look around, a gleam of divine light appeared in his eyes, and finally he could see through the starlight ahead.
It turned out to be a giant portal that was ten meters high.
The door frame seemed to be made of smelted star cores. It was simple and elegant, emitting rich starlight. The two doors in the door frame were luxuriously made of star iron that could be used to forge the king's magic weapons.
Each gate is three meters high and ten meters wide, with countless mysterious patterns engraved on it, and rich star power flowing through those patterns.
They seem to be two powerful sealed doors.
Afterwards, Li Zhi saw Supreme Elder Chen Yin cast two spells at the giant portal in front of him.
The starlight emitted from the door frame gradually converged, revealing the door completely before everyone's eyes.
At the same time, the voice of Grand Elder Chen Yin sounded, "This place is the foundation of our Taixuan Sect. You will enter it to find your fortune. Whether you can successfully undergo a transformation depends on your own fortune."
"Ancestor, where is this? Why do I feel a strong Big Dipper star power from the pair of gates?" Hua Yunlong, who was born in Xingfeng and is also a disciple of the Hua family, asked after seeing the seven-colored starlight flickering on the two gates.
Jia Changming, who was born in Juli Peak, also asked: "Ancestor, is this the outer space? I feel that the star power here seems to be more active than the star power on the Star Peak. If I can use this star power to refine my body, it will only take ten years for me to cultivate my body to the great perfection realm."
Grand Elder Chen Yin turned around and said to them, "The fact that you can come here shows that the sect trusts you. It's okay to tell you. This is where the Yuheng Star Cave is located. The star power of the Big Dipper that fell on the star peak can only fall accurately on the star peak through this portal in front of you. In the small world behind the portal, there is a Fortune Starlight Pool. The Fortune Starlight Divine Water in that pool can transform you completely."
Afterwards, Supreme Elder Chen Yin told them some precautions and taught them a method of refining the Starlight Holy Water for transformation.
When Grand Elder Chen Yin finished speaking, Le Yao asked, "Grandmaster, won't you come in with us?"
Chen Yin said: "In the small world, there is a power of heavenly tribulation evolved from the power of violent stars, which is very sensitive to the cultivation of cultivators. Only young people like you who have not yet touched the power of law are not affected by the power of heavenly tribulation."
Youyou also asked: "Grandmaster, since it is a small world, there should be a map, right?"
Elder Chen Yin explained: "This secret realm is different from other small worlds of saints. It is a starlight world evolved from the power of stars. Except for a few places with physical star cores, other places are filled with rich star power that has almost turned into a physical body. The heaven and earth in it have no fixed form."
Huo Feiyan asked with a worried look on her face: "Grandmaster, the nearly physical power of the stars is far from something we can touch, and we don't have any protective treasures on us, so how can we pass through those starlights?"
Grand Elder Chen Yin said, "Don't worry. After the star gate is opened, I will open up a safe passage for you and send you to the vicinity of the physical star core. The starlight near those star cores is not violent. With your cultivation level, you are enough to reach those physical star core islands."
At this time, Li Zhi also asked: "Ancestor, will we be separated after we go in?"
"Not sure." After a brief pause, Chen Yin continued, "Okay, time is running out. I'm going to open the star gate now. Be ready to go in at any time."
Afterwards, Supreme Elder Chen Yin walked to the star gate and began to perform his magic. The profound and complicated spells were injected into the star gate one by one.
The two huge star gates, which were three meters high, flashed for a while and then began to slowly open inwards.
As the star gate opened a crack, a rich starlight emanated from the star gate, and the colorful starlight appeared particularly bright.
The rich essence of the stars hits you in the face.
If it weren't for the Supreme Elder Chen Yin who blocked the impact of the star energy in front, Li Zhi and others would probably have been dissolved by the violent star energy in the first place.
After the starlight hit, everyone seemed to see a strange and bizarre world through the crack in the door.
Lights of various colors flickered, as if entering a sea of light.
Afterwards, Supreme Elder Chen Yin stepped forward and used his great magical powers to slowly push open the star gates. Then, as the two star gates opened, they burst out with brilliant light.
Like two sharp swords of divine light, they pierced directly through the ocean of stars behind the portal.
Behind the gate appeared a giant crystal rainbow passage as high as the door frame.
"Now, hurry up and enter." Supreme Elder Chen Yin said with great difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi and his seven companions instantly flew into the star gate and stepped into the huge rainbow passage.
Then, they saw that Supreme Elder Chen Yin directly closed the star gate, but the rainbow channel still existed and continued to extend into the distance.
It seems that Supreme Elder Chen Yin is working hard to promote the growth of the Rainbow Channel.
In the outside world, the moment the star gate closed, Chen Yin flew directly onto the door frame, and sat cross-legged on a small round platform in the middle of the beam, continuously transmitting magic power to maintain the rainbow channel formed by the two star gates to continue to extend in the starry world.
And while he was using his magic power to maintain the extension of the rainbow channel, electric sparks of different colors began to continuously emerge from his body.
There seemed to be a hint of heavenly calamity in those lightning sparks.
Although those electric sparks were weak, with the blessing of calamity energy, their destructive power was much stronger than simple lightning.
It only lasted less than an hour before Supreme Elder Chen Yin lost a strand of hair.
Apparently he couldn't last long.
After Li Zhi and others walked into the starlight world through the rainbow passage, they were immediately attracted by the magnificent scenery before them.
Blue starlight, white starlight, purple starlight, red starlight, yellow starlight, and starlight of almost all colors appeared before them. After interweaving with each other, they turned into a wide variety of wonders.
"Time is running out, let's go find the Creation Starlight Pool that our ancestor mentioned." After walking several hundred meters forward in the rainbow passage, the oldest Jia Changming spoke.
Although everyone is still young, judging from the performance of Grand Elder Chen Yin just now, the time they can stay in this starry world is very limited.
After listening to Jia Changming's suggestion, everyone stopped admiring the magnificent scenery outside the crystal passage and ran directly.
But just after running more than ten miles away, the originally wide crystal rainbow passage suddenly split into dozens of narrow passages like flowers scattered from heaven. It seemed that the magic power of Supreme Elder Chen Yin could only create a giant rainbow passage more than ten miles long.
Everyone stood at the fork in the road, looking at the countless forks in the road, but didn't know which one to choose.
Just when everyone was having trouble making a choice, Hua Yunlong stood up like a leader and said, "Let's each choose one. This will speed up the search for the Fortune Starlight Pool."
It seemed that he intended to be the leader among the seven.
Li Zhi turned his head slightly and looked at him, but didn't say anything.
Then, the seven of them each chose a starlight path.
After stepping onto the path, Li Zhi faintly felt the pressure brought by the violent star power from the outside world that came in through the wall of the pipe.
Although there was some pressure, the starlight trails could still ensure their safety.
However, the boundary wall of the passage did not seem as solid as the boundary wall of the previous giant passage. Along the way, Li Zhi could occasionally see colorful thunder striking the starlight trail.
In some places, the violent power of the stars even escaped into the Starlight Trail, as if a crack had appeared in the "pipeline".
And the further you go, the more flying forks there are on the pipes, just like a big tree, the closer you get to the crown, the more difficult it is to determine which branch is the trunk.
All the starlight passages are winding and tortuous, extending forward in the sea of starlight in no regular pattern, and no one knows where they lead to in the end.
After entering a starlight trail with a crack again, Li Zhi felt that if he continued to search for the location of the Creation Starlight Pool along these starlight trails, it would probably be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
In the end, it is very likely that Supreme Elder Chen Yin will be unable to maintain the existence of the starlight channel and will throw them directly into the violent sea of starlight.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi began to communicate with the Hundred Herbs Map in the Wheel Sea. "Boss Tu, wake up. Do you need the power of the stars to replenish your energy?"
Li Zhi was unable to directly absorb and refine the violent star power at this time, but it did not mean that the Hundred Herbs Map was unable to absorb and refine the star power. The starlight that had almost turned into entities carried rich star essence.
The essence of stars is a kind of essence of heaven and earth of extremely high quality, which is enough to help saint-level strong people replenish the loss of mana.
"Yes!" Soon, the response given by the Hundred Herbs Picture emerged in Li Zhi's mind. Although it was only one word, it made him feel a strong desire.
Afterwards, Li Zhi took out the Hundred Herbs Picture and turned it into a blanket which he draped over his body.
Then he walked towards a path where starlight was leaking out.
After sensing the essence of the stars, the Hundred Herbs Map immediately released a suction force, absorbing all the star power that leaked into the path.
Then, Li Zhi saw some cracks on the starlight trail, which seemed to be in danger of collapsing at any time under the pressure of the violent star power from the outside world.
After looking at the distribution of the cracks, Li Zhi took out the Luoyang shovel and smashed it at the most vulnerable part of the trail.
"boom!"
With just one strike, he chiseled a hole the size of a washbasin in the Starlight Trail.
Countless starlight gushed out like sea water pouring back into an underwater tunnel.
Li Zhi calmly blocked the hole with the Hundred Herbs Map.
The countless star essences that gushed out seemed to have entered the belly of the Taotie and disappeared in an instant.
It was even dissatisfied that the star energy in front of the hole was gushing out too slowly, so the Hundred Herbs Map generated a huge suction force and began to extract the star energy outside the Starlight Trail.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Li Zhi feels that the starlight outside the Starlight Trail seems to have become dimmer, and he can even see Starlight Trails in other places through the void.
Afterwards, Li Zhi stepped on the Hundred Herbs Map and entered the sea of stars outside through the hole.
After entering the ocean of starlight, although there was rich star energy blowing towards him, there was no violent star power pressing on him.
The Hundred Herbs Map under his feet was firing on all cylinders. In less than an incense stick of time, it had sucked up all the star power within a radius of dozens of miles, forming an area with sparse star power in the ocean of starlight.
The nearby ocean of starlight was diluted and dimmed, no longer blocking Li Zhi's vision.
Soon, Li Zhi saw an area emitting uniform colorful light in the chaotic starlight. It should be the physical island in the sea of stars mentioned by Grand Elder Chen Yin.
Controlling the Hundred Herbs Map, Li Zhi flew straight towards that area as if he was in an empty space.
Without exception, all the star essences in the sea of starlight along the way were completely devoured by the Hundred Herbs Map.
When he was near the place with colorful light, Li Zhi saw its full picture, and there was no starlight path extending towards it.
It seems that those colorful lights can hinder the formation of starlight trails.
With the Hundred Herbs Map protecting him, Li Zhi was not afraid of the damage from the seven-colored light. Moreover, the seven-colored light seemed to be a sublimated star light, which was very lethal, but the quality of the star essence contained in it was also higher.
As the Hundred Herbs Map swallowed everything it could, the high-quality star essence in the colorful light was also completely devoured.
Turn the colorful light into harmless light.
After stepping onto the island, Li Zhi immediately felt a strong gravity.
It seems to be ten times the normal amount.
However, for the monks, the effect of this ten times gravity on them is minimal.
The rocky ground beneath my feet seemed to have been infected by colorful light all year round and had also turned into colorful ground.
Afterwards, Li Zhi directly used his magic power to activate the Hundred Herb Map to speed up its absorption of the colorful light on the island. The suction power of the Hundred Herb Map instantly doubled.
An hour later, all the star energy contained in the colorful light on the island was absorbed, and Li Zhi finally saw the true appearance of the island.
The entire island is only a few miles in radius and is generally flat. In the center of the island stands a 30-meter-tall colorful boulder that resembles a phoenix spreading its wings.
The boulder is so lifelike that it seems like a petrified phoenix.
At first glance, it looks like a holy spirit that is being conceived, but upon closer inspection, it does not have the charm of the holy spirit that blends with the laws of heaven and earth.
Li Zhi placed the Hundred Herbs Map in front of him to prevent any accidents. Then he walked to the giant colorful stone. After circling around it a few times, he understood the origin of this giant colorful stone shaped like a phoenix based on the records in the Feng Shui Burial Sutra.
It is not the Holy Spirit, nor is it the stone statue standing in front of the tomb.
After Li Zhi turned the Hundred Herbs Map into a cloak and put it on, he jumped onto the back of the colorful giant stone phoenix, took out the Luoyang shovel and began to drill holes in the colorful giant stone.
Sure enough, after digging more than ten meters deep, a dazzling seven-color light suddenly burst out from the exploration hole, carrying with it a rich life essence. Just one smell of it made people feel like they were ascending to heaven.
When the light faded, Li Zhi saw some liquid glowing with seven colors through the exploration hole.
Li Zhi did not continue digging deeper, but instead took out the snake skin bag and collected all the liquid.
He collected a whole basin of colorful phoenix blood.
This is the colorful phoenix blood formed by the interaction and evolution of the nirvana blood left behind after the phoenix failed to rebirth and the rich star essence from the Big Dipper in the environment.
It can also be considered a special kind of Holy Spirit blood.
Just this basin of colorful phoenix blood is enough to allow a king-level strong man to undergo a complete transformation.
It was enough for Li Zhi to complete two complete transformations.
Why only twice? That’s because the colorful phoenix blood is most effective the first time it’s used. The effect is halved the second time, and is almost ineffective the third time.
Li Zhi, who is still in the secret realm of Lunhai, estimates that half a basin of seven-colored phoenix blood would be enough for him to complete two complete transformations, and this is based on the consumption of his physical condition.
If it were someone else in the same group, they would probably only need a bowl of seven-colored phoenix blood to complete a complete transformation.
However, Li Zhi doesn’t want to use it directly now.
In order to bring out the maximum effect of the Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood, it needs to be diluted with the water from the sacred spring, and then boiled with the sacred fire to stimulate all its medicinal effects and bring the effect of the Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood to its fullest.
In other words, if you want to be reborn, you must treat yourself as an old hen in a soup pot, and slow-cook it with the divine fire. Only in this way can the full effect of the seven-colored phoenix blood be brought into play. Otherwise, if you use it directly, you may not be able to bring out even 30% of the divine power of the phoenix blood.
After putting all the colorful phoenix blood into the snakeskin bag, Li Zhi tied up the opening of the bag.
Compared to an ordinary jade bottle, using a snakeskin bag to store precious blood of this level can better lock in its essence.
Afterwards, he placed the snakeskin bag into the small world within the Hundred Herbs Map.
Li Zhi then took out the Luoyang shovel and continued to chisel the colorful giant stone that looked like a phoenix.
It took him a whole day to chisel the huge rock into a pile of egg-sized pieces.
But he did not find the Phoenix Fire Bead he was expecting.
Compared to the precious blood left behind after the Phoenix's failed Nirvana, the remaining Nirvana fire is actually the real treasure.
The fire of Nirvana, after being refined by a cultivator, can be planted in the fountain of life, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
As long as you are not crushed to ashes, no matter how serious the injury is, you can be reborn through nirvana.
If the fire of Nirvana is cultivated to the point of spiritual communication, even injuries of the Tao can be healed with the help of the power of Nirvana.
It’s a pity that the phoenix that once landed on this star island failed in its nirvana, and the fire of nirvana was completely extinguished, leaving only some colorful phoenix blood.
However, these gains are enough to make Li Zhi happy.
That is equivalent to two opportunities to be reborn.
According to Li Zhi's understanding of physical constitution, in the two secret realms of Lunhai and Daogong, cultivators should have nine opportunities to be reborn.
If one completes nine transformations at this stage, one can develop one's physique to the extreme. Even if one is a mortal body, after nine transformations, the richness of its life essence may be comparable to that of a chaotic body of the same level.
No matter whether it is a mortal body, a divine body, or a holy body, as long as one can complete nine transformations before beginning to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth (before the Four Poles Secret Realm), perhaps one can forge a truly perfect foundation for the Great Dao.
It’s a pity that it is so difficult to achieve this.
Even the protagonist Ye Fan had only experienced five complete transformations before entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
Coupled with the extraordinary characteristics of the Holy Body, the millions of Jin of energy consumed during the cultivation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm may be equivalent to one or two rebirths. It is these six or so rebirths that make Ye Fan's combat power exceptionally powerful compared to cultivators of the same level.
According to Li Zhi's understanding, if one wants to become an emperor in this era, one must forge a supreme foundation comparable to the Chaos Body in order to avoid the dual suppression of the Great Emperor and the Emperor of Heaven and successfully reach the pinnacle of the extreme Dao.
It is said that the Chaos Body can achieve the position of Chaos Emperor even if someone else becomes an emperor before. In Li Zhi's opinion, it is because the Chaos Body is born with the ultimate foundation of the Great Dao that it can reach the true pinnacle of the Great Dao despite the suppression of the Heavenly Heart Seal, instead of staying at the level of alternative enlightenment that is lower than the real emperor.
Therefore, the transformation of cultivators in the two stages of the Wheel Sea and the Dao Palace Secret Realm is particularly important.
