Chapter 85 The old place of Yaochi
"Little Changshou, you really haven't cultivated the third eye?"

A hint of anticipation emerged on the peerless face of the Saint of Yao Chi, and it seemed that she no longer minded Li Zhixiu's "X-ray Eyes".

Walking on the endless reddish-brown Gobi Desert, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi and Li Zhi were constantly searching for the weak points in the seal of the Yao Chi ancient site.

However, the seal of the Yao Chi ancient land was so powerful that the two of them circled the edge of the Yao Chi ancient land almost three times, but could not find any place to enter.

Since this matter concerns the path of cultivation, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is even more anxious than Li Zhi.

This was not the first time he asked Li Zhi whether he had cultivated the divine eye that could see through magic arrays.

The third eye has many wonderful uses. Although the focus of various third eyes is different, most of them have a common feature, which is that they have a strong ability to find "flaws".

Whether it is the acquired martial arts eye, the source of the divine eye and other eye techniques, or the innate fairy eyes, the Yin-Yang eyes and other eyes, they can have the ability to see through illusions to a certain extent.

If you want to find the weak spot in the seal of the Yao Chi ancient land, it is far from enough to rely solely on the power of spiritual consciousness.

If we simply use our naked eyes and spiritual sense to search for traces of the ancient land of Yao Chi, we may not even be able to find the shadow of the ancient land of Yao Chi.

Otherwise, the ancient place of Yao Chi would have been visited by outsiders countless times.

Even if they saw the vision of "Fairies from Yaochi", they could not find any trace of the original place of Yaochi.

The sacred place of Yao Chi was once located on an ancient monument. Occasionally, there would be a miraculous sight of flying fairies under the moonlight. No one could explain what was going on. It looked hazy from a distance and vague from close up.

Legend has it that it is a remnant of ancient times, a reflection of countless years ago, and a replay of ancient events, but no one has ever confirmed this legend.

Even the Queen Mother of the West, who founded the sacred land of Yao Chi, did not leave a single word about the Yao Chi Fairies.

On the contrary, Li Zhi felt that "Fairy from the Jade Pool" was most likely related to the Fighting Saint Emperor's transformation into a fighting immortal after ten thousand years.

The ancient ruins chosen by Queen Mother of the West, which are close to the Taichu Ancient Mine, are most likely the place where the Fighting Saint Emperor planted the peach elixir of immortality.

Of course, this is just Li Zhi's guess.

His cultivation was far from the level that could go back in time, and for things that happened in history, he could only rely on guesswork to restore the truth of the year.

Facing the question from the Saintess of Yao Chi, Li Zhi still said calmly: "Sister Yao Chi, I really haven't cultivated the Heavenly Eye."

He had full confidence in whether he could enter the ancient land of Yao Chi.

As long as he finds an ancient well made of jade buried under the yellow sand on the edge of the sacred land of Yao Chi, he will be able to find the way in and out of the ancient land of Yao Chi.

That was a path that Hei Huang and Ye Fan had proven to be effective.

But he couldn't tell the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi directly.

Originally, Li Zhi thought that the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, as the descendant of Yao Chi, would have the means to enter and exit the seal.

But only now did the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi tell her that she had no way to enter or exit the seal, and could only find the weak point of the seal to break in.

I have to say, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi is really generous.

Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to find the entrance?
What surprised Li Zhi was that he and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had already circled the sealed outer area three times, but still could not find any trace of the ancient well.

This gave Li Zhi some bad thoughts.

Is that road just prepared for Ye Fan?

Others come and can’t find it at all?
It was not that Li Zhi was fanciful and came up with such an absurd idea, but it was very unreasonable that the ancient well that could absorb and discharge the essence of the sun and the moon had been there for tens of thousands of years, but no cultivator had discovered its existence.

Li Zhi knew very well what kind of group monks were.

They are ten thousand times more greedy than ordinary people. Wherever there is a little opportunity, everyone will rush there, and even visit repeatedly.

I always feel like I'll find treasures that others can't.

I wish I could dig three thousand feet into the ground.

Especially the abandoned site of the Yao Chi Holy Land, it is very likely that there are some places of good fortune that cannot be moved, which can stimulate the desire of monks to explore.

But after searching for five days in the Gobi Desert with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, Li Zhi finally understood why he had never heard of the news that the ancient site of Yao Chi was being excavated as a site of opportunity.

It’s not that other cultivators don’t want to explore the ancient land of Yao Chi, but they can’t find any trace of the ancient land of Yao Chi at all.

This is true even for the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, the orthodox descendant of the Holy Land of Yao Chi, let alone others.

There is a huge temperature difference between day and night in the Northern Territory. The moonlight is cold and the chill is biting.

You can see bits of starlight being swallowed up by the old land of Yao Chi, but there is no trace of a seal.

The sealing method is so sophisticated that it is beyond comprehension.

From day to night, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi constantly used their spiritual sense to observe the earth below, and both felt a little tired.

Sitting by the campfire under the moon, Li Zhi kept turning the barbecue on the charcoal fire.

After roasting a bunch of star beast meat, Li Zhi handed it to the absent-minded Saint Yao Chi and said, "Sister Yao Chi, eat something first."

After taking the barbecue, Yao Chi Saintess said, "Brother Changshou, do you think I can still enter the old site of the sect and comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao in the Xihuang Legacy?"

Li Zhi asked curiously, "Logically speaking, sister, you are practicing the Imperial Scripture revised by the Queen Mother of the West in her later years, so you shouldn't need to comprehend the Queen Mother's Legacy. And you also have the Queen Mother's Tower in the Yao Chi Holy Land. It should be easier to comprehend the Queen Mother's Great Dao by practicing under the tower than by comprehending the Queen Mother's Legacy, right?"

After a brief hesitation, the Saint of Yao Chi said, "The Xi Huang's remains in the old Yao Chi site were left by the Xi Huang when he first created the Xi Huang Sutra. There is a true meaning of creation in it, which can make it easier for people to understand the Xi Huang Sutra after cultivation."

This is already considered a secret of the "Western Emperor Sutra".

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I see."

Then, Li Zhi said, "Let's have a good rest tonight and adjust our condition. Tomorrow morning, let's try another way to find the weak point of the seal."

The eyes of the Saint Lady of Yaochi brightened and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "You will know tomorrow."

Afterwards, they ate barbecue, drank wine and chatted, and the evening passed in a flash.

When the sun appeared on the horizon again, Li Zhi took out the Coffin of Life under the curious gaze of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Coffin?" The Saint of Yao Chi didn't have much taboo about coffins, but she was still a little surprised that Li Zhi took out such a small coffin.

Li Zhi said: "Since we can't find a loophole in the sky, let's go into the earth to look for a loophole. My magic weapon has the ability to escape underground, so we can go deep underground to find a loophole in the seal."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi kept looking at Li Zhi's Coffin of Life, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more intense.

Coffins often represent death and are filled with a dead air.

However, the silver coffin that Li Zhi took out was filled with vitality, and that vitality was even similar to the feeling given by the divine source.

Yao Chi Saint asked: "What kind of magic weapon is this? It feels to me like it was carved from divine power."

"This is the divine coffin of life that I refined." Li Zhi said.

“The God of Life Coffin?” The Saintess of Yao Chi walked forward and touched the patterns on the God of Life Coffin with her hand, then said, “Is it the treasure you found in the big tomb in the Taichu Ancient Mine last time?”

Li Zhi was a little surprised that the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi could actually think of this.

Yao Chi Saint explained: "Thanks to that Saint Body Ye Fan, he told me that the big tomb you stayed in was a treasure land, and it seemed that there were immortal treasures underground."

Li Zhi suddenly realized and said, "It is indeed a treasure land. It gave birth to some soil of all things. My life coffin is made of the soil of all things."

"What is the soil of all things?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"A kind of immortal soil that can be used to bury immortals. However, the soil of all things that I obtained only has a trace of the effect of the real soil of all things. It can only ensure that the physical bodies of mortal cultivators like us will not decay." Li Zhi explained.

Then, he continued, "Next, we will enter my coffin of life, which will take us to swim beneath the earth."

After the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi nodded, she followed Li Zhi into the Coffin of Life.

Although it had been refined into a magic weapon, the space inside the coffin was still not large. After the two entered, they could only sit back to back in it.

Of course, if Li Zhi was willing to lie in the arms of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, they would have more room to move around.

After entering the divine coffin, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi realized that the Divine Coffin of Life was not quite what she had imagined.

It does not have a huge magic weapon space like other magic weapons.

Although the life energy in the coffin was as intoxicating as the vast ocean, when Li Zhi entered the coffin, the postures of the two became slightly ambiguous.

However, Li Zhi did not have as many distracting thoughts as the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

It seemed that his young body prevented him from thinking about whether something unspeakable would happen in this situation.

After entering the divine coffin, he sat cross-legged there and directly drove the divine coffin into the ground. He walked along the path they had walked before and walked again under the ground.

Sure enough, after the divine coffin had been rampaging under the earth for two hours, it hit a seal.

Afterwards, Li Zhi borrowed the power of the sacred mountain in the other world and began to sense the situation around him underground.

Continuously walking along the edge of the seal, he finally sensed the remains of an underground lake two thousand meters underground.

Li Zhi said with joy, "Sister Yaochi, I have discovered something."

"Hmm," but the answer from the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was very strange, as if her attention was not on finding loopholes at the moment.

Li Zhi turned his head and saw that the Saint Lady of Yao Chi had slightly red cheeks, as if she was thinking about something embarrassing.

"Sister Yao Chi, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhi asked, staring at the Saint Yao Chi with his clear and transparent big eyes.

"Ah, I'm fine." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi's neck even turned red at this moment.

Li Zhiyi lowered his head and realized that the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had such a reaction, and he should take some responsibility.

However, now is not the time to point it out, otherwise it will make the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi even more embarrassed.

Driving the Life Coffin, he quickly flew towards the underground lake. After a few breaths, Li Zhi's Life Coffin broke through the soil layer and arrived above the empty underground lake.

Then, two rays of divine light flew out from the Coffin of Life.

Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi appeared in the pitch-black underground lake.

After Li Zhi put away the Coffin of Life, he directly sacrificed a dazzling night pearl.

The area within a radius of ten miles was illuminated.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi also sacrificed a small tower that emitted a bright white light, directly illuminating the area within a radius of twenty miles.

"Is this an underground lake that is about to dry up?" said the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, looking at the mud below.

After Li Zhi looked around, he said, "The underground lake has not completely dried up, which means it is still connected to other places. Let's follow the direction of the water veins and search in the direction of Yaochi's old place. We should be able to find something."

Afterwards, the two flew towards the ancient place of Yao Chi.

After flying for thirty or forty miles, the two finally saw a barrier that was flickering with a faint light.

Yao Chi Saint Lady showed a hint of surprise and said, "The seal here seems to be very weak."

Li Zhi said: "It seems that this is the loophole in the seal. Let's go and take a look."

When they arrived at the barrier, they did not rush through it, but used an ordinary magic weapon to test it, and found that the power of the barrier was really weak and non-aggressive.

Afterwards, the two of them safely passed through the seal.

After passing through the seal easily, Yao Chi Saintess asked with a little doubt: "Why did the ancestors leave such a loophole?"

Li Zhi also didn't believe that the Yao Chi Ancient Saint would be so careless as to deliberately leave such a gap in and out of the Yao Chi Holy Land, so he said, "Maybe someone deliberately erased the seal of this place, leaving this gap."

Li Zhi felt that this cave was most likely the one left behind by the Wu Shi Great Emperor when he entered and exited the Yao Chi Holy Land through the underground water veins. It was also very likely the one left behind by the Wu Shi Great Emperor when he secretly came back to visit his parents when he was young.

Otherwise, with the ability of Emperor Wu Shi, the mountain protection formation of the Yao Chi Holy Land would be useless in front of him.

If they wanted to enter or leave the Fairy Lake, even if they stood in front of the Fairies of the Yao Chi, they would not be able to see the figure of the Wu Shi Emperor.

As to whether it was true or not, Li Zhi was not sure.

It definitely wasn't a hole left specifically for peeking at the fairy from Yao Chi bathing.

The two walked for several miles along the underground river that was about to dry up completely, and finally saw the daylight.

Then, the two of them appeared at the bottom of a large dried-up lake.

There are many skeletons of large fish on the mud at the bottom of the lake, which seem to have died due to lack of water.

The two of them flew directly into the sky and overlooked the entire Yao Chi ancient site.

Just like what the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi said, there are only a few places with vitality, and more than 90% of the area is completely desolate and looks lifeless.

Afterwards, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi took out a map of the ancient Yao Chi.

It is marked with the divisions of various areas of the Yao Chi Holy Land in the past.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy in the air, Li Zhi asked, "Sister Yao Chi, where are we going next?"

Yaochi Saint said: "Let's go to the central fairy pond of the holy land to get the holy water first."

She had discussed with Li Zhi before that if they could enter the ancient land of Yao Chi, they would first go to the fairy pool to fetch water and undergo a complete transformation.

Then go and comprehend the inscriptions left by the Western Emperor.

Soon, under the guidance of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, Li Zhi saw a place with beautiful mountains, exquisite scenery, cascading waterfalls, exotic flowers everywhere, and numerous palaces, which looked like a fairyland.

On an open area, countless exotic flowers and plants are blooming, and there are palaces. In the central area, spiritual energy is dense and auspicious colors are flowing. A fairy lake is embedded in the earth, hazy and fairy-like.

The spiritual energy all around is so rich that one can breathe in the most original essence of heaven and earth without even practicing any energy.

When the Saintess of Yaochi saw the Fairy Lake, colorful waves flowed in her eyes and she smiled, as if the heaven and earth were eclipsed. She said, "Little Changshou, this is my Fairy Lake of Yaochi."

Afterwards, standing by the lake, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi introduced to Li Zhi the various wonders of the fairy lake.

Li Zhi asked, "Sister Yao Chi, do you want to go down and bathe? Should we go deeper into the fairy lake to get water?"

Yao Chi Saint said, "No need to bother. I have my own water-drawing spell in Yao Chi. There is no need to enter the lake to fetch water. Besides, the Fairy Lake has changed. Queen Mother has repeatedly warned me not to enter the lake. Quickly take out the water-holding magic tool. I am going to cast a spell to draw water."

Then, Li Zhi took out a silver water gourd. The fist-sized gourd had a large internal space, enough to hold five or six cubic meters of water.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi stood by the lake and began to perform the water-drawing spell that the Holy Land of Yao Chi had created specifically for the Fairy Lake.

She cast the spell into the Fairy Lake, but the water did not churn, but a stream of water rushed up from the ninth layer of the deepest part of the Fairy Lake.

A stream of water emitting rich life essence broke through the surface of the lake and gushed out.

Li Zhi quickly used the water gourd to fill water.

When he filled the water gourd, the flow of water showed no sign of stopping.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also took out a jade bottle and began to fill it with water.

Only when there was no more water gushing out of the lake that was comparable to the holy spring water, did the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi stop drawing water.

Yao Chi Saint Lady seemed very surprised that so much holy spring water could be drawn out at once, and said, "She actually drew out holy water from all ten fairy lakes at once."

According to records inside the Yao Chi, being able to draw out a thousand kilograms of the ninth-layer fairy lake holy water at a time is already the limit.

Unexpectedly, this time the holy water from the Ten Directions Fairy Lake was brought out at once. It has to be said that this was an unexpected surprise.

But Li Zhi looked at the fairy lake and said, "Sister Yao Chi, can you draw out some more divine water? I have some spiritual medicine that needs this divine water to irrigate."

The Saintess of Yaochi shook her head and said, "No. The amount of divine water is limited and we cannot draw out too much at one time, otherwise it will reduce the quality of the water in the entire fairy lake."

Li Zhi was a little unwilling and said, "Can you draw out some lake water that is weaker than the sacred water?"

Yao Chi Saintess thought about it and said, "That's fine. But the quantity won't be too large."

Li Zhi directly took out the Hundred Herbs Map and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Yaochi."

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi led every layer of water in the Fairy Lake out to the ten directions, and all of them were collected by Li Zhi in the Hundred Herbs Map.

Afterwards, Li Zhi poured a bowl of fairy lake holy water that was comparable to the holy spring of life into the picture, as a way of repaying the debt owed to Boss Tu.

Li Zhi felt a lot more relaxed instantly. It felt so good not to be in debt.

But Boss Tu did not wake up because of this.

After seeing the divine map in Li Zhi's hand, Yao Chi Saint said, "Your map is so magical."

Li Zhi smiled and put away the Hundred Herbs Picture, saying, "It's just an ordinary picture. Sister Yao Chi, let's go to your Yao Chi's Earth Fire Room to transform."

This was something he and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had discussed in advance.

There is an underground fire training room in the sacred land of Yao Chi. The flame inside is a divine fire from the underground vein that was brought in by the mother of the Western Emperor. It was the best choice for the Yao Chi masters to train their weapons.

When the Yao Chi Holy Land moved its religion, it did not move the Underground Fire Chamber with it.
