Chapter 74 The Seventy-Fourth Divine Coffin Buried
The earth is empty and quiet.
In the distance, the rocks are bare and the reddish-brown earth looks as if it has been washed by blood.
The moonlight was like smoke, covering the surrounding mountains and rivers, making everything around look so hazy.
Farther away, the moonlight was like water, falling from the sky like a waterfall, falling into an area like a black hole and disappearing.
That is the Taichu Ancient Mine, one of the seven life forbidden areas in the Eastern Wilderness.
The area of the ancient mine does not seem large, but the terrifying aura that captures people's hearts and swallows everything makes people feel cold.
A black storm blew Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi to an area less than a hundred miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Although the area of a hundred miles seems far away, it is actually within the influence range of various strange forces emanating from the ancient mine.
The surrounding space seems normal, but it is actually very chaotic. Sometimes one step can make a world of difference, and sometimes you run a hundred miles but still stay in the same place.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, who had been shrouded in fairy mist, now revealed her peerless beauty. Li Zhi could clearly see the worry between her brows.
One can imagine how uneasy she was at that moment.
After observing the surrounding environment, Li Zhi did not move rashly, but stood there and fell into deep thought.
He referred to the Feng Shui Burial Sutra taught by Duan De to determine whether there were any deadly dangers around him.
Although the Feng Shui Burial Sutra does not record any burial techniques, it does record burial techniques and the explanation of special terrain.
Although the names may not be the same as those recorded in the Source Book of Heaven, some special terrains between heaven and earth are also explained from the perspective of tomb science.
Because they were in a valley and couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, Li Zhi said to the Saint of Yao Chi: "Sister Yao Chi, let's go to the hill over there."
In fact, it is easier to get a full picture of the entire area by flying high into the sky and looking down at the earth. However, the space near the Taichu Ancient Mine is chaotic, so Li Zhike dare not risk flying easily. It is more reassuring to keep his feet on the ground.
The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi nodded slightly, and then hung a small replica of the West Emperor Tower above her head. The divine tower shed divine light, protecting her and Li Zhi tightly.
At the same time, the hazy fairy mist that shrouded her body reappeared, and it seemed that her mood had returned to calm.
The two of them walked slowly and steadily towards the hilltop more than ten miles away.
Halfway up the mountain, they unexpectedly ran into Saint Son and Saint Daughter Yaoguang who were also climbing the mountain. Their conditions were relatively miserable, as if they had just fought a tough battle.
After seeing Li Zhi and Saint Yaoguang, Yao Xi seemed relieved and said to Li Zhi, "Little brother Changshou, whether I can get out alive or not, it all depends on you."
Faced with the strange life forbidden zone, the confidence of Saint Yaoguang seemed to be a little lacking, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Zhi no longer had the previous strong look.
But Li Zhi said in a very disappointed tone: "Whether we can survive depends on our luck."
It seemed that he was not capable of leading everyone out of this place safely.
He was indeed not sure. Although the "Feng Shui Burial Sutra" was mysterious, the strangeness of this place was not all formed naturally by the power of heaven and earth. The more important reason was caused by the various warnings and defense measures arranged by the creatures in the restricted area on the periphery.
But at the moment, Li Zhi's strength was still too weak. Even if he knew how to resolve some things, he would be helpless because of his lack of strength.
Li Zhi has always believed in one truth, that is: all fear comes from lack of strength, and all weirdness also comes from lack of strength.
The Taichu Ancient Mine, after all, is nothing more than a sacred mine that can breathe on its own. It is a place artificially transformed for the Supreme to sleep.
If he had the strength of a great saint, how could the so-called danger at the edge of the ancient mine do anything to him?
Having said that, if you are not strong enough, it would be a headache to be attacked by those ghosts guarding the periphery.
The further up the mountain Li Zhi walked, the more he felt that there was something unusual about the hill below his feet.
It seemed like a huge tomb, and then he stopped.
Seeing this, Saint Yaoguang asked, "Why didn't the Taoist priest leave? Did he discover something?"
After watching for a while, Li Zhi suddenly said to the three people: "Maybe we can't go together next time."
"Why?" asked the Saint of Yao Chi. Her trust in Li Zhi was even stronger than that of Saint Yaoguang and Yao Xi, and she also believed that Li Zhi would be able to get out safely.
This was not only her intuition, but also the judgment of that beautiful senior sister.
In addition to her great strength, the beautiful senior sister was actually well versed in physiognomy. She once told the Saint of Yao Chi that Li Zhi had a face that indicated a long life, and a face that indicated an indefinite longevity.
Li Zhi's eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered something that excited him, and he said, "Because I don't plan to leave for the time being."
The hill at your feet is actually a large natural tomb, full of vitality. It is a rare place for spiritual transformation and can be called a place for immortal burial.
If Master Yuan was here, he would find that the Feng Shui pattern of this place is "a real dragon pulling a coffin".
The hill under Li Zhi and the others' feet was the tomb where the coffin was hidden.
Eventually, the real dragon will pull the "coffin" into the tomb and sleep there.
There is no place more suitable for nirvana on the other side than this peerless burial ground.
The source of spirit is life, the burial place is death. By breathing life and nourishing the spirit, one can achieve nirvana through life and death, and then one can become an immortal.
It can be said to be a blessed land for immortals to achieve nirvana in life and death, which is much more thorough than simply using divine power to achieve nirvana in the outside world.
Even his soul has the opportunity to be baptized and transformed with the help of the nirvana here.
Without waiting for the three to ask him to stay, Li Zhi bowed to them and said, "See you later. I am leaving now."
Then, under the puzzled gazes of the three people, he went straight into the hill at his feet.
Seeing Li Zhi disappear into the hill, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the three people. Is this a place where they can dig at will?
You have to be careful when walking on the ground, because God knows how many deadly intentions are hidden underground.
After a long while, Yao Xi asked the Saint of Yao Chi: "Sister Yao Chi, who is this long-lived young Taoist priest? He doesn't seem to be worried about the danger of the forbidden area. Could he really be a life after an ancient corpse flew out of the forbidden area and became spiritual?"
At this time, Saint Yaoguang also began to doubt Li Zhi's situation. Perhaps he did not possess the special Taoist body as he thought. Instead, he felt that Li Zhi's performance was somewhat similar to those ancient psychic corpses that had lost their yin energy. He had a strong body and extraordinary magic power, which was different from that of ordinary people.
Being questioned by Yao Xi and Saint Yaoguang one after another, Saint Yao Chi also had doubts in her heart, but deep down she still trusted her own intuition and the judgment of her uncle more.
Her uncle said that Li Zhi was a man protected by great luck, and good fortune would come to him even if he was just sitting at home.
Now, in the outskirts of the Taichu Ancient Mine, which is already full of great fortunes, Li Zhi suddenly discovered a place of amazing fortune, but he didn't want to share it with them, so it is not impossible for him to find an excuse to leave.
Afterwards, Yao Chi Saintess said, "Perhaps Changshou is annoyed that the three of us will hinder him. Let's find a way to leave this place first."
The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi seemed to be forcing an explanation for Li Zhi, which made the Saint Son and the Saint Maiden of Yao Guang feel a little surprised. Only a few days had passed, but the relationship between the two seemed to have become unusual.
But they didn't say anything else.
After all, compared to the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, they and Li Zhi were not familiar with each other.
The three of them had life-saving items on them, but it was unknown whether those items would still be effective near the Taichu Ancient Mine.
After all, even if the Holy Lord came here in person, he couldn't cause any waves.
Their protectors were helpless in the face of this desperate situation, and they could only rely on themselves to leave.
Even if they called upon their own imperial soldiers, they might not be able to bring them back safely.
The three of them had a clear understanding of this.
The Forbidden Zone of Life is not like the outside world. The imperial soldiers can suppress almost everything. However, when facing the Forbidden Zone of Life, the imperial soldiers sometimes appear pale and powerless.
Finally, the Saint of Yao Chi said, "Let's go up the hill first to take a look at the surrounding environment before making further plans."
Fortunately, they all knew that they must not fly in the air near the Taichu Ancient Mine, otherwise they would be swallowed into the mine by the powerful devouring force and would never have a chance of survival.
Therefore, if you want to see the surrounding environment clearly, you can only climb to the top of the mountain after flying high into the sky.
Only by standing high enough can you identify a relatively safe way out in this complex environment.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to climb the mountain step by step.
What happened next had nothing to do with Li Zhi.
After Li Zhi got into the hill, he released the mountain that was transformed from the divine island in the other world.
It seemed to have the same ability as the earth's fetal membrane, which could amplify Li Zhi's perception of the interior of the earth by hundreds or thousands of times, allowing him to easily avoid the deadly murderous intent inside the earth.
Some are natural, some are man-made, but none of them can escape Li Zhi's control and he can easily sense them.
There is a very good saying in the spiritual practice world: danger that can be discovered is not danger.
Therefore, for Li Zhi, it was very easy to find a way out in danger. At the same time, Shen Feng's performance also made Li Zhi realize that the four special "instruments" naturally formed in his Lunhai Secret Realm seemed to have extraordinary secrets and were not as simple as "instruments".
I don’t know how many miles I walked underground, how many corners I turned, and how many murderous intentions I avoided.
Finally, he found a special area that he felt could elevate his soul.
It was a special soil composed of silvery-white sand, which seemed to be able to give birth to all things in the world.
When he first saw it, Li Zhi thought he had encountered the legendary soil of all things.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel it is impossible.
If it really is the soil of all things, the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone would have turned it into a place of slumber long ago, instead of allowing it to grow under his nose.
However, even if it was not the soil of all things, Li Zhi knew that the sand-like soil was extraordinary.
Approaching the soil cautiously, Li Zhi discovered that the amount of special soil was not that large, less than half a cubic meter in total.
But for him, it was enough to bury him in it.
After making sure that there was nothing else in the lump of soil, Li Zhi drilled straight in.
Then he lay down in the silver sand and began to practice.
And as he practiced, he used his divine power to slowly shape the sand-like soil.
Gradually, a silver-white earth coffin appeared in the original place.
When the silver earthen coffin was formed, Li Zhi began to transform to the other side level inside the coffin.
He already had an idea about the transformation at the other side level.
After discussing Taoism with the fairies from Yao Chi, Li Zhi had gained a lot. As for the transformation to the other side, he had almost no doubts or bottlenecks.
As the transformation began, Li Zhi's body seemed to be dead.
During this process, his soul seemed to have left his body and ascended directly to the fairyland full of vitality.
At the same time, a large piece of divine source was held in Li Zhi's hand, continuously providing his body with the pure life essence needed for nirvana.
And with each transformation of Li Zhi, the silver-white earth coffin seemed to be tempered by the power of the earth, becoming more solid.
At the same time, some mysterious patterns will appear on the outer wall of the earthen coffin.
That was the result of Li Zhi using his divine power to imprint the pattern he had previously copied from the small coffin inside the Nine Dragon Coffin onto the earthen coffin.
With each hammering and squeezing, the sand-like soil gradually seemed to undergo a magical change. The earthen coffin also became loose and turned into a small silver-white coffin with almost no gaps and a seamless shape.
And Li Zhi, who was transforming in the coffin, seemed to have his soul sublimated.
A mysterious chanting sound could be heard faintly from within the silver-white earthen coffin that was less than one and a half meters long.
Once, twice, three times.
I am unaware of the passage of time and the changes in the outside world.
Li Zhi seemed to be the incarnation of eternity. No matter how his body changed, his spirit would remain forever young.
Finally, after this nirvana transformation, Li Zhi felt a sense of harmony coming from the secret realm of Wheel Sea, and at the same time, his physical strength was greatly improved again.
His soul also became more transparent under the baptism of the vitality and nirvana power in the tomb.
It was as if his understanding had been elevated as a result.
My understanding of the main text of the Xiantian Changsheng Gong has become increasingly profound.
He even had new ideas that went beyond the scope of the scriptures, and it seemed that the Xiantian Changsheng Gong could no longer develop his full potential.
Of course, this was just an illusion that Li Zhi had after his transformation and his enlightenment had greatly increased.
If he wants to fully comprehend the scriptures left behind by the Quasi-Emperor, he must at least wait until his cultivation breaks through to the Great Sage realm.
If he wants to create a scripture that surpasses the Quasi-Emperor and is on par with the Emperor Scripture, he must at least wait until he has cultivated the five great secret realms of the human body to perfection.
Or, like Ye Fan, you can practice multiple imperial scriptures to transcend and create your own scriptures.
However, the path of cultivation that Ye Fan took was not replicable, and Li Zhi most likely would not have the opportunity to create a cultivation scripture comparable to the Emperor's Scripture before becoming an emperor.
Any imperial scripture is revised after the great emperor has reorganized himself and the Great Dao after he has obtained the Seal of the Heart of Heaven. It in itself represents a state of perfection of the Great Dao.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for the emperor's descendants to surpass their fathers.
To surpass their fathers is equivalent to transcending the perfect path between heaven and earth.
Unless they can step on the great road and transcend, or someone breaks this perfect road that exists between heaven and earth for them.
Otherwise, a perfect avenue can only carry a strong man at the level of a great emperor.
Li Zhi transformed in the silver earth coffin in the tomb. The Saint Girl of Yao Chi who followed Ye Fan out of the Taichu Ancient Mine area did not return to Yuancheng immediately.
Instead, he waited for Li Zhi to come out in a marginal area three thousand miles away from the ancient mine.
This wait lasted for three months.
Suddenly one day, five kinds of energy rose up into the sky near the Taichu Ancient Mine, and penetrated the sky, causing a strange phenomenon within a thousand miles around the ancient mine.
There are scenes of flying fairies, visions of the celestial palace descending, wonders of bloody battlefields, and the tragic scenes of real dragons shedding blood.
As those strange phenomena appeared, the area within a thousand miles of the Taichu Ancient Mine instantly turned into a desolate place.
The Saint Lady of Yao Chi was taken away without any explanation by her protector.
At the same time, a silver-white earth coffin was slowly moving under the ground towards the direction away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Finally, in an abandoned mine, the silver-white earth coffin finally flew out from the ground.
After it broke out of the earth, it left no trace of a cave in the earth.
It seems that the silver-white earth coffin naturally has the ability to escape underground.
After appearing in the empty mine, the silvery-white earth coffin began to glow, and then a crack appeared on the coffin lid.
Then, the coffin lid was pushed open from the middle like two doors.
A child with red lips and white teeth and wearing a Taoist robe crawled out of the earthen coffin.
Who else could this be but Li Zhi, who had completed the nirvana transformation in the other shore realm and even directly broke through to the secret realm of the Taoist Palace?
Looking at the silver-white earthen coffin in front of him, Li Zhi smiled happily and said to himself: "This is the true meaning of the coffin. It can nourish both the body and the spirit. It can be called a divine coffin of life."
Ever since the silver sand-like soil was shaped into a coffin, Li Zhi also understood its characteristics.
Although it is not the true Earth of All Things, it already has some of the characteristics of the Earth of All Things.
Lying in it can ensure the survival of the monk.
As for where the upper limit is, Li Zhi doesn't know either. At least for cultivators below the level of Saint, no matter how seriously injured they are, as long as they lie inside, they can guarantee survival.
It seems to have a similar effect to the Divine Source, but it is much more convenient than the Divine Source.
After all, in order to lock in vitality with the Divine Source, it must be the Divine Source liquid, and the solidified Divine Source block cannot be melted again for use.
After putting away the Coffin of Life, Li Zhi followed the mine to the ground.
Then, after identifying the direction, he rushed towards Yuancheng.
After sailing thousands of miles underground, they were still far from reaching the area where Yuancheng was located.
I don’t know if the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi is still waiting for him in Yuancheng.
He is still very much looking forward to the ancient land of Yaochi.
After all, he still owed the spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map a piece of divine spring water and had not repaid it yet. If Boss Tu remained in a deep sleep, he would not feel safe no matter what he did.
The big picture can be called his guardian angel.
Moreover, Li Zhi already had a vague guess in his mind as to why the spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map was so intelligent.
The second update is here. Good night everyone.
