Chapter 76 Even a clay figure can get angry

Ever since he met the Holy Son of Yaoguang, Li Zhi subconsciously regarded him as a potential opponent.

But he never expected that the people who intended to capture him had nothing to do with the Holy Son Yaoguang.

Sitting in an abandoned mine, looking at the four piles of ashes in front of him, Li Zhi kept reflecting on himself, wondering if his preconceived prejudice against the Son of Yaoguang had led to the current situation.

Although the other party has practiced the Immortal Heavenly Art, is the Holy Son of Yaoguang really a bad guy with no bottom line?
Li Zhi thought about it carefully and finally found that he seemed to be wrong.

The other person is also a man of great ambition, otherwise he would not have achieved such great success in the future.

Plundering the life source of others to practice the Immortal Heavenly Art does not mean that the other person is a bad person.

Back then, the Ruthless Emperor was much more murderous than the current Saint Yaoguang, but is the Ruthless Emperor a bad guy?

Many peerless geniuses died at Ye Fan's hands along the way, but is Ye Fan a bad guy?

There are so many corpses on the road to the emperor that I'm afraid no one can tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.

Is there a life-and-death conflict between him and the Holy Son Yaoguang?
Actually not.

Even if the other party wants to obtain his life source, that is perfectly normal.

This is a struggle on the path of spiritual practice, not taking someone’s life for no reason.

I have also never heard of the news that the Holy Son Yaoguang massacred ordinary people in order to practice the Immortal Heavenly Art.

In Li Zhi's opinion, there is no right or wrong in the life-and-death struggle between monks.

Those who can make it to the end are right, and those who cannot make it to the end are wrong, that’s all.

This is the absolute truth of the spiritual world, which is completely contrary to the secular theory of good and evil.

Li Zhi reflected on himself and soon discovered his own problems.

There is a lack of awe for the cruel reality on the path of spiritual practice.

After being complimented and teased a few times, he couldn't help but perform his secret stone-finding skills in public, and he found a valuable stone with just one try.

Like a real kid who loves to show off.

I thought that after showing off, everything would be fine.

But he never expected that the price of showing off in front of others was to be hunted down behind their backs.

Those disciples of major sects who had managed to survive the black storm did not feel that Li Zhi would pose any threat to them.

He immediately notified the masters in the sect and asked them to go to Yuancheng to wait for Li Zhi to show up, wanting to seize his fortune.

Now it seems that those unknown monks whom he subconsciously ignored may very well be the ones who can pose a fatal threat to him.

On the contrary, those who are famous, such as the Holy Son of Yaoguang, will pose much less threat to him.

It still goes back to the old saying that dangers that can be discovered in the world of cultivation are not risks; the real crises often come from the unknown.

This time he was followed by four monks who had reached the perfect state of Dragon Transformation.

Even though he was ready to fight back, he still fell into the opponent's trap and was easily captured.

If it weren't for his great luck.

At the critical moment when Huang Xidao and Xu Huaiyin of the Huanmie Palace were about to capture him, Jian Wuji of the Five Elements Palace appeared.

I'm afraid he has become a prisoner of the Palace of Disillusionment.

If Lei Long from the Wanjie Sect had not appeared to compete with Jian Wuji, he would probably have been taken to the Five Elements Palace by Jian Wuji for soul searching and spirit refining.

If the four of them had not acted independently and wanted to have the best of both worlds, he probably wouldn't be where he is now.

In other words, the four people in the melee fought with real fire, and all suffered serious injuries, and their mana was severely depleted, which enabled him to successfully launch a sneak attack and complete a Jedi counterattack.

Otherwise, when the spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map was asleep, he would have almost no chance of turning the situation around.

Instead, all your magical treasures will be looted.

With his current magical power, he cannot use the holy weapon without a spirit to unleash its holy power.

For ordinary monks, it is a powerful weapon.

For a cultivator who has reached the perfection of dragon transformation, this is almost no different from delivering food.

If he could really fight head-on with those cultivators who had reached the perfection of dragon transformation, it would probably not be as simple as just standing in the Eight Forbidden Areas.

But to establish a divine prohibition.

But does Li Zhi really have the terrifying combat power of the Eight Forbiddens?

The answer is very clear, no.

Although his magic power is vast, it is only at the Taoist Palace level after all, and the magic power has not yet been baptized by the power of laws.

The quality of its magic power is far from that of the cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Especially for cultivators who have stayed at the perfect dragon transformation level for hundreds of years, their magic power has been refined to a very pure level, and their understanding of various combat skills has also reached a very deep level.

At this critical moment, the God King's Bone Mirror exerted amazing destructive power.

It was even more effective than when he used the Luoyang shovel to sneak attack those four people.

Although the Divine King Bone Mirror is only a king-level divine weapon, to a certain extent it possesses supreme power comparable to that of a holy weapon, allowing ordinary minor cultivators to fight across levels.

Moreover, the energy consumption of activating the God King's Bone Mirror is much smaller than that of using the Luoyang Shovel and Snake Skin Universe Bag.

The God King's Bone Mirror can not only explore the origin of a person's life, but also emit a deadly death light, specifically attacking the sea of ​​suffering of monks and corrupting their wheel of life. This is simply a weakened version of the laws of the ancient forbidden area.

It can also reverse the death light to plunder the life essence of the monks and use them as the energy source to activate the magic mirror.

The skull that made this magic mirror, that is, the God-King, must have practiced the Heaven-Devouring Magic Art during his lifetime, otherwise the skull left behind after his death would not have possessed this ability.

At this moment, the entire life source of four ninth-level cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm was stored in the Divine King's Bone Mirror, which was enough for it to launch two half-step great power-level death ray attacks.

Looking at the four piles of ashes on the ground and the spoils piled beside them, Li Zhi said helplessly: "Is this the cycle of cause and effect?"

He had just expressed his emotion that spiritual practice was so dull when he was directly delivered four almost fatal "gifts".

Moreover, these old monsters who have practiced for many years have extraordinary minds and "dirty" means. When they tell lies, they sound like the truth. If they hadn't accidentally bumped into each other, Li Zhi would probably have suffered a lot this time.

Li Zhi waved his hand to pick up the pile of spoils on the ground, and then took out the Coffin of Life.

Then he lay in the coffin and began to walk underground.

Moreover, the direction they were heading was not towards Crimson Moon City, but towards the Wanjie Sect which was the closest to this place.

Since they dared to treat him as prey, then don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless and digging up the ancestral graves of the Wanjie Sect.

Even a clay figure can get angry, let alone Li Zhihu!

Li Zhi had decided to dig up the ancestral tombs of the Wanjie Sect, the Huanmie Palace, and the Wuxing Palace.

As for the ancestral tomb of Yaoguang Holy Land, Li Zhi thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, the existence lying inside was something Li Zhi really couldn't afford to offend.

Shortly after Li Zhi left, the two old men in hemp clothes finally found the abandoned mine.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, one of the old men in hemp clothes said, "We are a step late again."

The other old man looked around and said, "What an alert little fellow! He actually wiped out all his own aura."

Afterwards, he began to use a secret method to sense the location of the God King's Bone Mirror, but found nothing, as if the God King's Bone Mirror no longer existed in this world.

"How is this possible? That little Taoist priest can actually block all auras from the magic mirror." The old man in hemp clothes showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Li Zhi, who was lying in the coffin of the God of Life, didn't know that his unintentional action actually allowed him to escape the pursuit of two terrifying old men in hemp clothes.

"Let's go to Red Moon City. If that little Taoist wants to avenge the attack on him by the Illusion Palace, the Five Elements Palace, and the Myriad Tribulations Sect, he will definitely go to Red Moon City ahead and take the Domain Gate. We will wait for him to show up there."

Afterwards, the two old men in hemp clothes flew towards Red Moon City at a terrifying speed.

But this time, Li Zhi wanted to take revenge, but he would rather drive the Coffin of Life and travel slowly underground, and he had no intention of using the domain gate to travel.

The big loss he suffered this time has made him realize that it is far from enough to rely on clever tricks to cheat others or to deal with real strong people.

He might be able to save his life with the trump card in his hand, but he would definitely pay a heavy price.

It would be more trouble than gain to confront them rashly.

Instead of doing this, it is better to fundamentally avoid this kind of situation where the weak are bullied by the strong, so that everyone will not be "awkward".

Li Zhi drove the Coffin of Life at high speed ten meters below the surface, which could both avoid being discovered by people on the ground and avoid being disturbed by the dangers buried deep underground.

Although the speed is not very fast, it can travel thousands of miles a day.

At the same time, Li Zhi, lying in the Coffin of Life, was distracted, hurrying on his way while comprehending the cultivation scriptures of the Taoist Palace Secret Realm.

Unlike the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, there was nothing special about his Dao Palace Secret Realm, and the newly opened divine treasure was equivalent to that of a normal cultivator with a special Dao body.

Rather than being as exaggerated as when practicing in the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea.

If we have to say what is special about his Taoist secret realm, it is that the skills he practices are more special than other skills.

In addition to nurturing Taoist gods within the Taoist Palace's divine storage, a "companion fairy tree" with corresponding attributes must also be nurtured in each Taoist Palace's divine storage.

According to the records in the Dao Palace Volume of "Innate Longevity Skill", breeding a companion immortal tree in the Dao Palace Divine Treasure can greatly improve the divinity of the Dao Palace gods, and the higher the quality of this companion immortal tree, the better. It would be best if a companion immortal tree that is close to the immortal elixir can be bred.

For example, in the Taoist volume of "Xiantian Changsheng Gong", five kinds of elixirs of immortality are mentioned.

The divine treasure of the heart corresponds to the immortal root with fire attribute, and the best choice is the Suzaku Immortal Elixir.

The liver is the divine treasure, and it corresponds to the fairy root of wood attribute, so the best choice is the ginseng fruit tree.

The spleen's divine treasure corresponds to the immortal root of earth attribute, and the best choice is the Qilin Immortal Elixir. The lung's divine treasure corresponds to the immortal root of gold attribute, and the best choice is the White Tiger Immortal Elixir.

The divine treasure of the kidney corresponds to the immortal root of water attribute, the best of which is the immortal peach elixir.

Just as Li Zhi had previously broken through the Taoist Palace secret realm and opened up the Liver's Divine Treasure, he could breed a wood-attributed immortal root of longevity within the divine treasure, and the companion immortal root that Li Zhi chose to breed was the ginseng fruit tree.

Because he had eaten a ginseng fruit and had sensed that special kind of Tao rhyme, he was able to conceive successfully.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create a companion fairy tree similar to the Daoyun of the Immortal Medicine through imagination.

Of course, nurturing the companion fairy trees does not mean that Li Zhi has to plant those elixirs in the Taoist Palace's divine storage, but to comprehend their special Taoist rhyme to promote the evolution of the companion fairy roots of the five major gods of the Taoist Palace towards the direction of elixirs.

It has to be said that the Taoist who created the "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" is indeed unique in the practice of longevity.

Every cultivation scripture in the secret realm is not created for the purpose of fighting, but for the purpose of longevity.

According to the records in the scriptures, when the five great treasures of the Taoist Palace are all opened and five companion fairy trees are born, one can practice a Taoist secret method, the "Five Gods Life-Nourishing Technique".

The so-called "Five Spirits Life-Nourishing Technique" is actually the same as the "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique". They are all hidden secret methods attached to the "Innate Longevity Art". They require cultivators to perceive them to know them, and they are not recorded in writing.

The Five Gods Life-Nourishing Technique is to use the divinity of the five major gods in the Taoist Palace to increase the cultivator's own divinity.

The divinity here is a general term for spirituality, understanding, etc.

"Five Spirits Life-Nourishing Technique" is also the second special method of secret realm cultivation that Li Zhi comprehended from the page of the Eternal Blue Gold Scripture after breaking through to the Taoist Palace Secret Realm.

The Eternal Life Locking Body Technique corresponds to the secret realm of the human body's wheel sea, which can lock up all of a person's vitality and prevent it from leaking out.

The Five Gods Life-Nourishing Technique corresponds to the Taoist Palace secret realm in the human body. It can use the power of the five great gods in the Taoist Palace to nourish the true destiny of the cultivator, thereby strengthening the cultivator's divinity.

According to Li Zhi's understanding, this is a unique secret realm cultivation method that is exclusive to cultivators who practice the "Innate Longevity Art".

Just like the single secret realm cultivation method belonging to the Holy Body lineage created by the first generation of Great Holy Body, the momentum of "Innate Longevity Art" also comes with the unique cultivation secrets of various secret realms.

It’s just different from the Holy Body’s single secret realm method of enhancing one’s own combat effectiveness.

The secret method that Li Zhi practiced was more inclined towards health preservation.

Neither the "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique" nor the "Five Spirits Life-Nourishing Technique" is a method of fighting.

The Coffin of Life moved rapidly underground, absorbing massive amounts of the earth's power to warm Li Zhi inside the coffin.

Let Li Zhi achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing the Liver's Divine Storage.

Earth gives birth to wood, this is really not just a saying.

And because he had eaten the ginseng fruit, the growth of the companion fairy tree in Li Zhigan's divine treasure was a natural result. While he was on the road, the companion fairy tree had already broken through the ground and grew into a sapling more than one meter tall.

Li Zhi absorbed the Taoist charm of the ginseng fruit and grew rapidly.

When Li Zhi arrived at the area where the Wanjie Sect was located, the ginseng fruit tree in the Liver God's Treasure had grown into a three-meter-tall tree. At the same time, the Liver God also walked out of the Taoist Palace, sat cross-legged under the ginseng fruit tree, chanted scriptures and gained enlightenment, and continuously absorbed the power of life to strengthen himself.

At the same time, the Taoist palace formed by the divine power of wood was floating in the ocean of divine power behind the companion fairy tree.

Li Zhi not only inhaled and exhaled the power of the earth drawn from the Coffin of Life, but also absorbed pure life essence from the Pure Source to replenish the consumption of essence by the growth of the Liver's Divine Storage.

Those pure sources were plundered by Li Zhi from Jian Wuji and others.

The pure source in the four people weighs more than ten thousand kilograms in total.

It has to be said that as elder-level figures in the Northern Territory’s indigenous sect, their wealth is undoubtedly lucrative.

He casually carries thousands of kilograms of pure source on his body, he is truly a big dog owner.

According to this ratio, their respective caves might store tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of pure source.

It’s a pity that these people’s caves are deep inside their respective sects, protected by numerous formations. Even if Li Zhi found out where their caves are through violent soul searches, he couldn’t go there to receive their inheritance.

It can only be a benefit to their disciples for free.

However, there is not without good news.

Li Zhi could tell from their memories that each of their families did not attach great importance to the defense of their own cemeteries.

Often, only disciples who have made mistakes will be sent to the cemetery by the sect to guard the tomb of their ancestors, without knowing that there are experts stationed there all year round.

The reason why, as a powerful force in the cultivation world, there are things like cemeteries that are built by mortals is, on the one hand, to strengthen the sense of belonging of the disciples to the sect, and on the other hand, to nurture the bodies left behind by those ancestors who had extremely powerful cultivation during their lifetime, in the hope that one day powerful psychic corpses will be born from those corpses.

The more powerful the existence, the more powerful the body will be after it becomes spiritual again, and it will often be able to cultivate to the level they were at when they were alive very quickly.

Although the number of ancient corpses that have become powerful again after being possessed by spirits is not large, the major sects are still willing to take a gamble.

After all, this kind of existence can often bring unexpected benefits to the sect, especially in high-end combat power.

It is not so easy to cultivate a powerful Xiantai.

Often in a large sect with a population of over a million, there are only a few dozen or even a dozen disciples who can cultivate to the level of the second-level immortal in a specific period of time.

Even in an era when the cultivation environment has deteriorated, there are often only a handful of people who can break through to the realm of great power.

For example, nowadays, in the era of suppression by the Qingdi Avenue, the number of great immortals born in various religions is far less than that in the prosperous period of Taoism.

Not to mention the strong ones above the king level.

Moreover, for these monks buried in the cemeteries opened up by their own sects, their life-saving magic weapons will generally not be taken away by later generations, but will be buried together with their bodies.

There are even some monks who were extremely powerful during their lifetime, the five secret realms in their bodies have transformed into a mysterious level. Even after their death, future generations may not be able to see through their secret realms and take out all the contents.

Therefore, there are many valuable treasures stored in the five secret realms of some powerful monks.

The Five Elements Palace, the Illusion Palace, and the Wanjie Sect are all powerful forces that have produced saints, so the scale of their cemeteries is naturally not small.

When Li Zhi arrived at the Wanjie Sect Cemetery, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

The cemetery of the Wanjie Sect was almost entirely transformed from an oasis with a radius of a thousand miles. It is only eighteen thousand miles away from the oasis with a radius of ten thousand miles where the Wanjie Sect is located.

The oasis appears to be full of vitality on the surface, but beneath the oasis is a place where Yin veins converge. Where those Yin veins converge, many high-quality burial pits are created, making it an excellent place to keep corpses.

Li Zhi used his super perception of the earth and combined it with the records in the Feng Shui Burial Sutra, and soon discovered the mystery hidden underground.

At the same time, Li Zhi secretly marveled in his heart that the "Feng Shui Burial Sutra" taught by Duan De was indeed unparalleled in the art of burials.

The cemetery, which should have been lifeless and full of murderous intent, now seemed like an undefended divine hiding place in Li Zhi's eyes.

The arrangements of the Wanjie Sect were like child's play in front of Li Zhi, who had practiced the Feng Shui Burial Sutra.

It is just like an ordinary source seeker showing off his source skills in front of the Source Master.

Moreover, he possessed the Life Coffin that could burrow underground, which gave Li Zhi an even greater advantage when searching for dragons and exploring caves.

Without making any noise, Li Zhi directly bypassed the magic circle set up by the Wanjie Sect and easily entered the hidden acupoints located on the Yin Meridians.

Then, using the secret method recorded in the Feng Shui Burial Sutra, they cleaned out the hidden secrets in each ancient corpse.

Moreover, Li Zhi was kind enough to burn those ancient corpses into ashes with Taoist fire.

After finishing all this, Li Zhi said to the ashes: "Don't thank me. I did this to prevent you from having trouble in your life after death and being enslaved by the underworld."

Afterwards, Li Zhi recited the "Hou Tu Rebirth Mantra" towards the ashes, "Dust to dust, earth to earth, soul to Hou Tu, the world is full of worries, death is nothing to fear, death is not the end of life, it is the beginning of reincarnation, may you find a new starting point on the road of reincarnation, the great and compassionate Hou Tu, the infinite heavenly master!"

After reciting the "Hou Tu Rebirth Mantra", Li Zhi went to the next burial site on the Yin Vein.

It took Li Zhi more than half a month to repeat the above steps to send all the bodies of the founders of the Wanjie Sect to reincarnation.

And used Hou Tu's Rebirth Mantra to convert their souls.

Even two ancient corpses that were about to become spiritual were sent to reincarnation early by Li Zhi.

Those who do not have the seal of reincarnation in their bodies will not become normal cultivators even after they become spiritualists. They cannot even pass the test of eliminating the negative and dead energy in their bodies, and cannot truly be reborn.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that the power of "Hou Tu's Rebirth Mantra" was incredibly great, and there was not even any resentment or death on his body.

"Hou Tu's Rebirth Mantra" is not a scripture of this world, but a mantra he brought from his previous life. After replacing it with the words and pronunciations in "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven", it has the current power.

After doing all this, Li Zhi even left a stone tablet in the Wanjie Sect's cemetery, with the words "The underworld is the final resting place of all souls" inscribed on it, to scare everyone in the Wanjie Sect.

Afterwards, following the same method, Li Zhi visited the cemeteries of the Five Elements Palace and the Illusion Palace successively over the next few months.

The treasures that had been sleeping underground for who knows how many years were dug out one by one.

These people are so wasteful. Only by letting the treasures circulate can the cultivation world be prosperous, but they would rather let those treasures sleep underground.

Now, only Li Zhi can do it and return those treasures to the hands of those who have the source.

Only in this way can the brilliant brilliance of those treasures be remembered by the world.

Therefore, after finishing the archaeological work, Li Zhi took those old artifacts and went to the holy city in the northern region.

He was going to hold a special auction there to send those things that originated from the founders of the three religions to other people with the source, so that his hard work would not be in vain.

Just as Li Zhi was on his way to the holy city.

The two old men in hemp clothes ran around the Northern Territory all the way, but they didn't find any trace of Li Zhi.

Sometimes, just when they sensed the aura of the Divine King's Bone Mirror, that aura immediately disappeared, making them make a wasted trip.

It's just like walking the dog.

Even with the cultivation level of the two old men in hemp clothes, they couldn't help but swear.

The effect of the Life God Coffin in shielding breath is even stronger than the ability of those divine stone skins. As long as Li Zhi lies in the coffin, his breath seems to have disappeared from the world.

It is simply a magical weapon that can block out auras and interfere with the mysteries of heaven.

　Here comes the first update.
