Chapter 68 The Mysterious Altar in the Otherworld
The purple starlight shines brightly, as if purple air is coming from the east, making the surrounding environment look fairy-like.

The vital energy surges forth like waves, one after another, as if to dye the surrounding void into an ocean of life.

The strange sight and colorful scenery, surrounded by fairy mist, are all caused by a half-meter-high top-grade holy medicine.

The herb is vigorous, with a stem that has seven branches like an old vine, and purple leaves about a foot long that emit a strong medicinal fragrance.

Sitting cross-legged under the holy medicine, Li Zhi absorbed the life essence of the holy medicine while enjoying the star essence that had been brewed and purified for tens of thousands of years by the holy medicine. His body and mind produced a kind of joy that made him feel like he was floating in the air.

This is the correct way of practicing. It will not make the practitioner feel tired, but instead give him an extreme sense of freedom and joy.

Immerse yourself in this ultimate enjoyment.

Li Zhi's life source was growing rapidly, and the divine vein that stretched across the sea of ​​suffering was also growing rapidly under the nourishment of the brewing star essence.

It was about to reach the edge of the sea of ​​suffering and go deep into the dark and undetectable place.

After obtaining the ancient sages' practice notes on the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea, Li Zhi has become more and more adept at practicing in the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea.

All the doubts and confusions that had arisen in the past due to the huge difference between my own Sea of ​​Bitterness and the seas of suffering of others were now clearly explained after reading the ancient sage's description of the Wheel Sea.

The ancient sages are worthy of being the ancient sages. Their in-depth understanding of the secrets of the human body is absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators.

The various precautions for practicing in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm that the elder of Lingyao Peak had introduced to Li Zhi, as well as the book on the precautions for practicing in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm that Jiang Shuwen had annotated on by a great man of the Jiang family, were as superficial as a blind man touching an elephant in front of the in-depth analysis of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm left by the ancient sages.

The reason why Li Zhi's sea of ​​suffering is so vast is not because he accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation in a single secret realm.

Rather, it is a special physical state in which the Taoist body is fully awakened at the initial stage of practice.

For example, some powerful beings who are born saints, their sea of ​​suffering is already in a fully activated state when they are born, and the scale is much more vast than Li Zhi's.

The sea of ​​suffering of the saints is extremely vast, and to the monks in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, it is almost boundless.

Moreover, the ancient sages also gave clear descriptions of the sufferings of various systems.

Not only are the colors different, but the sizes are also very different.

The stronger the monk's physique, the larger the wheel of life, and the greater the monk's sea of ​​suffering.

That is to say, the sea of ​​suffering of a cultivator with a special Taoist body is inherently much wider than that of an ordinary cultivator.

Most cultivators with special Taoist bodies cannot expand the sea of ​​suffering bestowed by their physique to the maximum in the early stages of their practice.

They also need to expand the sea of ​​suffering step by step and awaken the Tao body through acquired cultivation.
This is because the vast majority of people with special physiques are not the owners of the first generation special Tao bodies. Their Tao bodies are in a congenital, unawakened state. Only after they embark on the path of cultivation can their Tao bodies gradually awaken.

The source of a truly powerful Tao body is born powerful.

The innate holy body of the Great Emperor Wu Shi, when he was born, was born holy and directly sucked all the essence in a galaxy.

For example, the first generation of chaotic body will automatically absorb massive amounts of essence of heaven and earth to replenish its life energy when it is born.

Based on the notes left by the ancient sage, Li Zhiming understood the reason behind it.

There is actually a difference between the Tao body and the Tao body in terms of order.

The first generation of Tao bodies are formed from nature and are blessed by all the ways of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth will directly provide them with massive amounts of life essence to support the level of their Tao bodies.

For example, if they are of the first generation, the heaven and earth will directly give them the cultivation of the king level when they are born. (Except for the first generation of Dao bodies born in an environment where the Dao is severely suppressed and the essence of heaven and earth is thin.)
As for the acquired Tao body (most of which are special physiques inherited through blood), the cultivator needs to gradually awaken the supreme power of the special Tao body through his own practice.

Almost all the various physical constitutions that appear in the land of Beidou today are acquired Taoist bodies.

Therefore, there is no such thing as being born a saint or born a king.

Although Li Zhi's immortal body was given by the immortal elixir, the essence contained in the elixir was huge enough to open up his sea of ​​suffering to the maximum extent that his body could accommodate.

It's just that the origin of his immortal body is somewhat special, otherwise when his sea of ​​suffering is opened up to such a huge extent, he would be able to directly master the corresponding power of the laws.

In terms of the size of the sea of ​​suffering alone, in fact, Li Zhi's sea of ​​suffering is comparable to the sea of ​​suffering of most ordinary second-level immortals.

After studying the cultivation notes left by the ancient sages, Li Zhi also understood the astonishing gap between the powerful and the mighty.

According to the notes of the ancient sage, the secret realm of Xiantai is actually basically completed when one cultivates to the second level of the immortal.

After that there is the Immortal Three-Slash Dao King, and then there is the Saint realm.

In fact, strictly speaking, it no longer falls within the scope of cultivation in the Xiantai Secret Realm, but requires the five secret realms in the body to transform together in order to continue to promote the improvement of the realm.

When Li Zhi saw these descriptions for the first time, he thought that the ancient sages were talking nonsense.

According to his understanding of the secret realm method, it is clear that the third immortal is the king of slaying, the fourth immortal is the saint, the fifth immortal is the sage king, and the sixth immortal is the great saint.

But when he calmed down and read the notes left by the ancient sage again, he realized that what the ancient sage said was right.

Strictly speaking, there are only two major realms in the Xiantai Secret Realm. The first realm is for cultivating spiritual consciousness, and the second realm is for cultivating the primordial spirit.

The cultivation level can reach the 29th level of the Immortal Realm, which means that the Immortal Platform Secret Realm has been initially cultivated to the perfect level, just like the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, Dao Palace Secret Realm, Four Poles Secret Realm, and Dragon Transformation Secret Realm before, all of which have been cultivated to the perfect state of the first level.

If you want to continue to become stronger, you must transform these secret realms, break through the current perfect state, and break through to a higher and deeper level.

At the same time, it also made Li Zhi understand the gap between the powerful and the mighty.

Why do the ancient great powers revered by cultivators all over the world have such tremendous magical powers and terrifying combat capabilities? In fact, we can get a glimpse of it from the notes left behind by the ancient saints.

This is why everyone says that being able to cultivate the wheel sea phenomenon created by the ancient great powers is synonymous with power.

Legend has it that each type of anomaly in the wheel sea possesses a mysterious power that is completely different from the power gained through normal cultivation and is impossible to guess.

In fact, the so-called strange phenomenon of the Wheel Sea created by the ancient powerful beings is the re-evolution of the Wheel Sea secret realm by those second-level immortal powerful beings who have been unable to become kings. It is an incomplete transformation and evolution.

It is different from the thorough transformation and evolution of a cultivator who practices a single secret realm method.

For example, the holy body corpse that had reached the saint level and was collected by the Green Dragon King in the northern region of the East Wilderness. He only cultivated two secret realms, and the Taoist Palace secret realm only cultivated four divine treasures, but he raised his cultivation to a level above saint.

This is the power of the secret realm transformation.

I have never heard that monks at the king and saint level need to use the wheel sea phenomenon to suppress their opponents.

Because their wheel seas, after transformation, are essentially two different levels from the wheel seas of the second-level immortals.

The so-called mysterious power that fills the wheel sea phenomenon is actually a high-level power borrowed from heaven and earth. Depending on the different wheel sea phenomena, the power that can be borrowed is also very different.

The reason why those ancient great powers chose to create the wheel sea phenomenon when they were unable to make further breakthroughs, rather than choosing to practice a single secret realm method to transform.

This is because practicing in a single secret realm requires not only a powerful mental method (preferably the Emperor's Scripture) as support, but also a special secret method to assist in the practice in order to succeed. It also requires going through a transformation of life and death and is full of dangers.

In comparison, creating the Wheel Sea Vision is much safer, as it can not only gain more mana, but also ensure one's own safety.

Just like what Li Zhi heard Ji Ziyue say to Ye Fan by the Shuiyun Lake where the Bronze Immortal Palace was located, "The ancient great powers all had tremendous magical powers, and there are hidden stories in it."

Now, Li Zhi finally knew what the so-called "hidden truth" was through the ancient sage's notes.

The reason why those ancient great powers created the strange phenomenon of the Wheel Sea was because they were unable to practice the method of a single secret realm, and their cultivation was stuck at the second level of the Immortal Realm and could not advance at all. They could only find another way and make themselves more powerful through this incomplete method of rebuilding the Wheel Sea.

After reading the notes left by the ancient sage, Li Zhi gained a deeper understanding of how to practice the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and what the Wheel Sea visions were.

That is the process of creating the Wheel Sea vision, which is actually equivalent to an incomplete transformation of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm. Although it can greatly increase the total amount of mana of a cultivator, it will not improve the quality of the laws they master.

However, it is true that as the total amount of mana increases, combat effectiveness will also increase accordingly.

After having the above understanding, Li Zhi also confirmed one thing, that is, he did not bring disaster upon himself when he accidentally developed the Sea of ​​Bitterness to its current scale.

But it is the immortal body he possesses that should be like this.

In other words, after completing his cultivation in the secret realm of his wheel sea, the scale of his wheel sea was at the same level as that of an ordinary powerful being.

Of course, although the scale is comparable, the quality of the mana inside is far from enough.

Perhaps when his cultivation reaches the Four Extremes Secret Realm and he begins to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, the laws of immortality that come with the origin of his immortal body will awaken simultaneously.

Moreover, the quality of the longevity law that comes with his physique is estimated to exceed the laws of heaven and earth that he has comprehended in the initial stage.

It is even possible that the laws of longevity brought by one's physique have reached the level of quality that can be mastered by the King of the Way of Slaying.

As for whether the law of immortality that will be awakened in the future will be able to reach the level of the law of the holy way, Li Zhi feels that the possibility is unlikely.

After all, there is an essential difference between the laws of the Holy Way and the laws below the Holy Way.

If Li Zhi's immortal body was the same as Ji Haoyue's divine body, both inherited from bloodline, then his sea of ​​suffering would not have been opened up to such a scale all of a sudden.

With the increase of cultivation and the increase of secret realms, it will gradually transform. When you finally reach the second level of great Dao Immortal, the scale of the Sea of ​​Bitterness will expand to its current level.

After studying the ancient sages' research notes on physique and the secrets of the human body, Li Zhi gained a high-level view of cultivation.

No longer have to take one step at a time in a confused manner.

This kind of condescending perspective, as if looking at the details from a general perspective, gave him a deeper understanding of himself.

This kind of understanding is definitely not something that can be fully realized by relying on exploration alone.

At the same time, it also corrected many of his previous misunderstandings about spiritual practice.

Just like his Sea of ​​Bitterness, he originally thought that he could be on par with the cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm. But in fact, after he completed the cultivation of the Sea of ​​Bitterness Secret Realm, the scale of mana that his Wheel Sea Secret Realm could accommodate was comparable to the mana that the Wheel Sea Secret Realm of the powerful could accommodate.

Although the quality is far inferior to the magic power of the second most powerful immortal, it is comparable in quantity.

Of course, since Xiantai Mage has already opened the five secret realms of the human body, and the amount of mana that can be contained in each secret realm is different, the amount of mana that Li Zhi has cannot simply be equated to one-fifth of that of the Mage.

However, compared with the cultivators in other Taoist palaces or even the Four Poles Secret Realm, his inner magic power is also vast.

At the same time, it also made Li Zhi understand his condition.

Although it is not a powerful holy spirit that is born and raised, it is also a powerful acquired creature nurtured by the great laws and semi-divine medicines in the ancient forbidden area.

However, this kind of upbringing only allowed him to expand his sea of ​​suffering to its maximum, instead of allowing him to directly reach the level of the 29th level of the Immortal Realm, and almost all of the five secret realms evolved to the level of the first level of great perfection. This is Li Zhi's division of the perfection levels of the major secret realms during the practice process based on the records of the ancient saints and his understanding of the secret realms of the human body.

Being able to cultivate to the 29th level of the Immortal Realm means that the five major secret realms of the human body have reached the first level of perfection, which is also the upper limit that most cultivators in the world can reach.

After becoming a king by breaking through the limit, the king-level magic power can make the five secret realms of the human body evolve a second time, until it reaches the king's ninth level, and evolves to perfection again.

By analogy, the cultivator will improve his cultivation to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and the five mystical realms of the human body will completely evolve to the extreme state that the heaven and earth can accommodate.

It is like drawing concentric circles. Each circle drawn represents that the secret realm has reached a level of perfection. Then, stronger power is needed to draw a concentric circle with a larger diameter outside.

Of course, these are just Li Zhi’s current understanding of the secrets of the human body and the relationship between spiritual practice.

As for whether his understanding at this moment is correct, he needs to wait until his cultivation level is improved and he can truly stand at that level before he can verify right and wrong.

This is how spiritual practice works. Low-level cultivators often imagine and guess about the state of high-level cultivators, but most of the time, facts will prove that the low-level cultivators' guesses about high-level cultivators are very unreliable.

Therefore, Li Zhi couldn't guarantee whether his guess was correct, or maybe it was extremely wrong.

However, this does not affect his current practice.

He no longer had any confusion about the cultivation in the Lunhai Secret Realm.

You only need to practice the Divine Bridge step by step, and you will be able to reach the other side smoothly.

From this perspective, it is such a blessing to have reliable seniors to guide you on the path of cultivation, or to be able to listen to the teachings of seniors. It can help you avoid countless detours.

Using a top-grade holy medicine to assist in cultivation is an extremely luxurious thing for any cultivator in the Lunhai Secret Realm.

It is because he is on this star island where holy medicines are everywhere that Li Zhi can be so generous as to use top-level holy medicines to practice to the Divine Bridge realm.

As the divine veins above the Sea of ​​Bitterness continued to extend outward.

Finally, after the divine vein crossed the border of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and extended to the periphery of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, Li Zhi immediately could no longer feel the existence of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

It’s like entering an unknown mysterious area.

This is the disaster that the Divine Bridge must go through before reaching the other side, called "the disaster of being lost".

Often, the greater the potential of a monk, the greater the impact of the disaster of being lost will have on him.

Li Zhi's mind seemed to have come to a chaotic place where the world was not created. There was no concept of time, no concept of space, and naturally no concept of matter.

No matter how powerful Li Zhi's spiritual sense was, its perception was quickly becoming blurred.

However, Li Zhi was not worried that he would be trapped here forever.

When he transformed in the Creation Starlight Pool before, not only did his body undergo a transformation, but his soul also underwent a transformation.

His thoughts are pure, his mind is clear, and he has no worldly thoughts. His state is commonly known as "near immortality", and he is almost never troubled by the disaster of being lost.

The disaster of being lost cannot trap him.

As long as you calm down and keep moving forward, you will reach the other side soon.

Li Zhi firmly believed that in his current state, he would soon be able to pass through the mysterious land of chaos and mist and reach the real other world.

However, as he continued to move forward in the fog, Li Zhi not only failed to see the other side, but his five senses and spiritual awareness were becoming blurred.

Even in my ears, I could hear the voice of a strange little girl calling out, "Dad, Dad, where are you?"

There was also Zhou Mei's voice missing him, "Li Lang, where have you been? Do you know that the children and I miss you very much? Come back soon, we need you."

There are even voices of his parents from his previous life admonishing him, "Son, just have enough money to spend. Don't do anything that will damage your virtue. Find a decent job and support your family."

There is also the hope of his father, Li Daqiang, before his death, "Son, your mother is gone, and now your father is going too. Walk the right path and expand our Li family, so that your father's lifelong struggle will not be in vain."

There seemed to be a little boy showing off to him, "Dad, come and see what I found."

Those voices were like shackles, trying to bind him tightly and pull him from the fairyland into the human world.

Even within his immortal platform, there were traces of mortal worldly calamities emerging, hoping to merge again with his pure and transparent thoughts.

"You evil spirits, how dare you disturb my mind? Kill them!"

Li Zhi, who was wandering in the fog, suddenly shouted loudly, and the power of his mind turned into divine swords, slashing towards those voices.

"Ah, woo, ow"

In an instant, the calamity energy of the mortal world was shattered by the magic sword, and pieces of calamity energy turned into evil spirits, rakshasas, ferocious birds, and fierce beasts, which all bit towards Li Zhi's mind.

It seemed that his true spirit was transparent and his mind was clear, but it was not allowed by the heaven and earth. In the disaster of being lost, the calamity of the mortal world was manifested to pollute his soul, and those evil ghosts were transformed to block his immortal path.

"The fog is heavy, the world is in chaos, all things are empty, and the other side is not visible to the world. Then I will create the world, shatter the chaos, break the fog, recreate the universe, and shape the fairyland on the other side." Li Zhi's unwavering voice sounded in the foggy world.

Afterwards, his mind turned into a divine axe of creation. Wherever the axe light passed, fog dissipated and clouds appeared, and the sky became clear and the earth was bright, as if the great god Pangu had reappeared.

I don't know how many times I chopped with the axe, but looking around, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, and there was no trace of fog around.

"Zha, heng, ha" Between heaven and earth, even the divine sound of the Tao originating from the era of creation could be faintly heard.

Afterwards, the whole world seemed to be glowing, and a mysterious power was unearthed and scattered on his body and soul, making him faintly feel a baptism of the Great Dao.

At this moment, Li Zhi's mind and body became more spiritual and clear.

The Tianmai Divine Bridge under your feet seemed to have turned into a real cross-sea bridge, completely connecting the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the world on the other side.

Under the baptism of heavenly light, countless mysterious patterns began to evolve on the silver divine bridge, filling the divine bridge with an ancient, vicissitudes, and eternal artistic conception.

Stepping onto the other side, Li Zhi seemed to have arrived at a fairyland, with white clouds floating in the air, fairy air drifting in the air, and a mysterious palace looming in the sky.

But in the blink of an eye, the mysterious palace disappeared.

When the clear and turbid returned to their proper places and the light of day faded away, Li Zhi finally saw the full picture of his world on the other side.

In the center of the empty other world, there stands a three-story altar that exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

The altar was covered with mysterious Taoist patterns that even Li Zhi could not understand.

After a little sense of the altar's origin, he realized that this altar was actually transformed from the divine pattern of the other shore.

The divine pattern of the other shore turned into a weapon out of control and formed a mysterious altar.

Compared to the immortal trees, Taoist temples, and divine islands transformed by the divine patterns of the three realms of Bitter Sea, Life Spring, and Divine Bridge, this mysterious altar gave Li Zhi an urge to worship it. It seemed that as long as he offered sacrifices and worshiped this altar, his wishes would come true.

This was a very strange intuition, which made Li Zhi feel creepy.

Just when Li Zhi realized why the three-layer altar appeared, the Taoist temple, the divine island, and the fairy tree that were originally floating in the life spring suddenly flew up along the divine bridge, and finally came to the other side of the world, and were directly located next to the mysterious altar.

Together with the altar, they form a mysterious picture.

The Divine Island seemed to have turned into a Divine Peak. The Taoist temple was located halfway up the Divine Peak, with fairy trees standing proudly on the top of the mountain.

The altar is at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, a spring appeared on the top of the mountain, and a stream of spring water gushed out.

Looking closely, the spring water turned out to be the spring of his life.

The water of the life spring nourishes the immortal trees, moistens the sacred mountain, fosters the Taoist temple, and finally flows into the altar and disappears.

However, in the sea of ​​suffering and the spring of life, there is no sign of the water decreasing.

Li Zhi did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort, but instead had a sense of perfection, as if the wheel sea was no longer incomplete.

Moreover, Li Zhi had a vague feeling that he seemed to be able to display magical powers similar to the wheel sea phenomenon.

But he clearly had not practiced any kind of wheel sea phenomenon.

However, he felt that the wheel sea phenomenon of his talent seemed a little strange, so he did not dare to use it easily.

Because his wheel sea vision was called "The Altar Appears in the Sea of ​​Boundaries", and this name was sensed by him from the unknown.

Just like the strange phenomena in the wheel sea such as "the bright moon rising from the sea", "golden lotus growing in the sea of ​​suffering", "the immortal king coming to the ninth heaven", and "green lotus growing in the chaos", the names seem to be determined by heaven and are related to the corresponding laws of the universe and heaven.

As Li Zhi's cultivation officially entered the other shore level, the top-level holy medicine seemed to have exhausted its essence and turned directly into a pile of powder.

Li Zhi also felt a surge of magical power in his body, as if one punch could pierce the ground beneath his feet and one palm could shatter the stars in the sky.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

However, compared to when he was at the Divine Bridge Realm, the mana in his body has increased by dozens of times.

It was as if he had leapt directly from a weak cultivator to an omnipotent ancient being.

Standing up from the ground, Li Zhi took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared at the barrier on the edge of the Star Island.

"Lightning Step", this magical movement method left by the great demon, was actually mastered by him. It seemed to have become an instinct, and he could perform it easily without any effort. His movement speed was comparable to lightning, and it increased directly from a few hundred meters per second to tens of miles per second. (Note: The movement speed of lightning is not the speed of light, but much slower than the speed of light, about tens to hundreds of kilometers per second.)
Looking at the sea of ​​stars outside the barrier, Li Zhi was in a very good mood and even sang a little tune.

"I smile triumphantly, I smile happily, I"

Afterwards, Li Zhi, humming a little tune, went to pack up his things and prepared to leave.

The harvest this time was extremely satisfying.

Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh that the little girl's tears were so powerful that the good fortune she borrowed was comparable to that of a son of luck.
