Chapter 94: Divine Map to Suppress the Remnant Soul

Inside the holy tower, Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi sat there like the living dead.

The breath of soul in his body sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, as if his consciousness was sucked into another world.

In another dimension, the young man who was transformed into Li Zhi's consciousness finally completed his self-destruction. He cut off his rotten old body and the impurities in his soul. As a result, the spirituality in his mind skyrocketed, and his wisdom reached the sky.

All the memories of the past resurface in my mind.

Moreover, the divine fetus that came out of the old body no longer looked like the young boy before, but looked like the little Taoist priest of six or seven years old that Li Zhi originally was.

After seeing the girl next to him who looked 90% similar to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, Li Zhi immediately focused his thoughts into a sword, and without waiting for her to react, he suddenly swung the sword towards her body.

He used the sword of divine consciousness to perform the dragon-slaying sword technique, which was extremely powerful. It shattered the girl's body and destroyed her soul, directly turning her body into ashes. At the same time, it cut off her soul, leaving only a ray of pure consciousness in its place.

Then, the spiritual light quickly condensed and transformed into the appearance of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Changshou, where is this?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi seemed to have just woken up and asked while looking at the strange world in front of her.

Li Zhize said solemnly: "This is a different world. I guess it is a world of consciousness created by the residual soul of the Holy Spirit Qilin that was suppressed by the Fighting Saint Emperor. Both of us are now conscious beings."

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately sensed where her physical body was, but she could not sense where it was.

"Isn't wandering in the universe something only a great sage can do? Why can your consciousness and mine leave the body alone?" A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

After losing consciousness, the body left in the outside world is like a living dead, with no ability to deal with danger at all.

Once the Holy Tower of Protection is corroded by the black mist transformed from the water of the Styx outside, they will surely die.

Moreover, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi could sense that this world seemed isolated from the rest of the world, that is to say, their consciousness seemed to be trapped in this world and they could not return to their physical bodies at all.

Li Zhi looked up at the fairy palace floating in the sea of ​​clouds and said, "If we want to leave this place, we must kill the world core that the consciousness of the Holy Qilin has transformed into in this world."

"That is a holy spirit that is about to reach great perfection. Its consciousness has created a world. How can we kill it with our strength?"

As the saint of the Yao Chi Holy Land, she naturally knew how powerful a holy spirit that was about to reach perfection was.

In comparison, the two of them are no better than ants in front of each other.

But Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Sister Yaochi, you are thinking wrongly. If you feel it carefully, this world is purely composed of consciousness. There is no power of the soul or magic power. In other words, in this world of consciousness, what is being competed is not magic power and magical powers, but pure original consciousness.

Moreover, you and I have just severed our connection with this world through self-destruction, and will no longer be controlled or disturbed by the consciousness of this world.

In terms of the nature of consciousness, you and I are now equal to this world.

As for how much strength you and I can exert, it depends on how powerful our imagination is.

I have not sensed the existence of the power of the soul in this world before. In other words, what we are fighting with that Holy Qilin is a pure battle of consciousness. It is a battle of ideas and knowledge, not the level of Taoism. "

As soon as the words fell, two familiar voices were heard from the fairy palace in the sky.

"You two little bugs, I underestimated you. You can actually break free from the assimilation of my consciousness world by cutting yourselves off."

Then, a majestic fairy unicorn appeared above the sea of ​​clouds.

He looks almost exactly like the Holy Spirit Qilin that was suppressed by the Holy Emperor of Fighting.

"If we kill it, we can leave this consciousness space." Li Zhi looked at the fairy unicorn and shouted excitedly.

"You don't know your own limitations. You two are as shameless as that old monkey. I will make your souls burn in the fire of hell forever." The Immortal Qilin howled towards the sky, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment for being killed by the Fighting Saint Emperor on Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"How dare you, a mere beast, act so presumptuously in front of me."

Li Zhi walked straight forward, and with every step he took his aura doubled, as if there was no end.

His body was filled with Taoist energy, and the world was turned upside down, as if the heaven and earth could not withstand his pressure.

After seeing the strange vision emerging from Li Zhi, Xian Qilin said in horror: "You are not the Taoist priest of longevity, who are you?"

"Who am I? Listen carefully, you evil beast. I am the Great Immortal Zhenyuan from the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain." As he spoke, his attire and appearance changed, and his height seemed to grow taller as if it was being blown by the wind.

In a moment, a great and powerful person from the ancient times appeared in this world. He wore a purple gold crown, a worry-free cloak, blue cloud shoes, a fairy silk ribbon around his waist, and had the appearance of a boy and the face of a beauty. He had three beards floating under his chin and crow feathers on his temples.

It seemed as if the heaven and earth were not enough to compare with him.

When the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi in the back saw this, her eyes lit up, and she also took light lotus steps, walking towards the Immortal Qilin step by step.

"The Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, the most powerful and majestic, is respected by all races, and even the Emperor of Heaven bows to her."

As the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi stepped on the lotus and ascended to the sky, a mysterious celestial sound rang out in the void. A fairy tear green gold tower emitting magnificent divine power appeared above her head. At the same time, behind her, there were 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals following closely behind.

On her left and right sides stood two majestic figures who stood tall and mighty, and their power was feared by everyone in the world. Behind them, golden energy and blood formed a terrifying vision of the Emperor of Heaven coming to earth.

At this moment, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi seemed to have truly transformed into the Queen Mother of Yao Chi, possessing an aura of supreme emperorship that was invincible under the world.

Seeing that the Saint Lady of Yao Chi was not pedantic at all and followed suit, Li Zhi laughed and said, "Haha, little Qilin, why don't you surrender in front of me?"

"Ah!" The Immortal Qilin in the sea of ​​clouds was angered by the performance of the two of them. He did not expect that the two people who were just his playthings before, becoming stronger than him in a moment, which made the Immortal Qilin so angry that he roared and rushed towards them to kill them.

Seeing this, Li Zhi waved his sleeves and said, "Collect!"

"The universe is in my sleeve, the sun and the moon are in my gourd, the universe is in my hands, no matter how strong you are." The universe in the sleeve of Zhenyuan Daxian seemed to have the supreme power to subvert the universe in Li Zhi's hands.

The Immortal Qilin felt an irresistible suction force and immediately let out a Qilin roar to resist the suction.

The Saintess of Yaochi was not to be outdone, and she said directly to the two war gods beside her, "Go kill it."

The two war gods stepped forward and punched Immortal Qilin directly.

The punch was so powerful that it seemed as if six worlds were attacking the Immortal Qilin at the same time, making the Immortal Qilin feel a strong threat of death.

It seemed that even in his prime he was no match for these two gods of war.

Perhaps it was because the Immortal Qilin had thick skin and flesh, or perhaps the Saint Lady of Yao Chi had not evolved the two war gods deeply enough, and the two punches did not kill the Immortal Qilin.

After enduring two blows from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, the Immortal Qilin took the opportunity to display the Qilin Secret Technique and cut off Li Zhi's attempt to take the universe from his sleeve.

"I will be the Qilin Immortal!"

After the Immortal Qilin roared, he launched his strongest attack.

"when!"

But at this moment, a Chaos Bell suddenly appeared above the head of one of the two war gods sent by the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi.

After the bell rang, it seemed as if the long river of time had been cut off.

Directly caused the Immortal Qilin to suffer heavy damage.

Li Zhi saw this and laughed, saying, "Little Qilin, if you take another blow from me, eternity will be in a hurry."

This move seemed to resonate with the sound of the bell. Time went backwards, the world turned upside down, and the Immortal Kirin was beaten into a newborn Kirin cub.

But it is the Holy Spirit, extremely powerful as soon as it is born, and that move seems to have limited effect on it.

Then, a blood-red guillotine appeared in Li Zhi's hand.

When the guillotine came out, the whole world trembled.

"Behead the immortal with the guillotine, leaving no immortal soul behind."

Li Zhi recited a mysterious ancient spell, and then threw the Immortal Guillotine in front of the Immortal Qilin.

With a "click", the head of the immortal unicorn was chopped off by the guillotine.

With the "death" of Xian Qilin, the entire world of consciousness began to collapse.

Just as that world of consciousness collapsed, at the bottom of the Dark Lake, within a huge source of immortality, an incomplete Qilin soul suddenly awakened.

As it awakened, the entire Hades Lake began to boil.

In the space below the Nether Lake that suppressed the Holy Spirit Qilin, the body of the Holy Spirit Qilin seemed to breathe again.

A huge amount of water from the River Styx was drawn up by it from the void and sucked directly into its body through its nostrils.

There seemed to be a sound of rushing waves coming from its originally open mouth, as if the water of the Styx that it had sucked into its body would burst out of its mouth again at any time.

As the corpse of the Holy Spirit Qilin began to breathe the water of the Styx, the stone pillar on its back began to shake, and countless cracks suddenly appeared as the stone pillar shook.

Strands of black mist emerged from the cracks, and were then absorbed into the body of the Holy Spirit Qilin.

At the same time, in the upper underground space where the Nether Lake is located.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi and Li Zhi also woke up from the Holy Tower in time.

The two of them did not bother to check their own conditions and immediately left the holy tower space, and then they saw that the black fog outside had disappeared.

What shocked them even more was that the surface of the Dark Lake in the distance was sinking rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly shouted to the Saintess of Yaochi: "Escape to the ground immediately."

Then, he directly sacrificed the Hundred Herbs Map and burned half of the holy spirit blood stored in the map at one time, allowing this quasi-emperor divine weapon to completely revive.

Upon seeing this, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi immediately drove the Holy Tower upwards.

After the Quasi-Emperor Divine Weapon was fully revived, Li Zhi controlled the Divine Map and pressed towards the Dark Lake, "Boss Map, suppress it!"

At this moment, the Hundred Herbs Map seemed like a quasi-emperor in the world. A divine peak interwoven with mysterious avenue runes flew out of the map under the control of the quasi-emperor's divine weapon and directly suppressed the Nether Lake.

On top of the sacred peak, Li Zhi also saw several unfamiliar Taoist patterns of the Great Emperor, which caused the sealing power of the sacred peak to surge. It seemed that the Taoist talismans of another Great Emperor were also engraved in the Hundred Herbs Map.

"Ow!"

The remnant soul of the Holy Spirit sealed in the fairyland at the bottom of the lake felt the extreme danger and let out an unyielding wail.

Unfortunately, it was too badly damaged and could not even exert the power of a quasi-emperor. It was sealed up in an instant under the suppression of the divine peak released by the Hundred Herbs Map.

Then Shenfeng released the law of order again, and put the immortal source that sealed the remnant soul of the Holy Spirit into the small world in the picture and suppressed it.

After losing the immortal source, the Nether Lake collapsed directly, a big hole appeared at the bottom of the lake, and the lake water directly poured back into the underground space.

Then, the body of the Holy Spirit Qilin was soaked in the water of the Styx.

The Netherworld Divine Flower between its eyebrows seemed to have received a tonic. It bloomed instantly and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance comparable to that of the elixir of immortality.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately summoned a bit of the power of the Hundred Herbs Map to pluck the Netherworld Divine Flower, sealed it directly, and then put it into the sealed space under the medicine mountain.

Seeing that the corpse of the Holy Spirit Qilin suppressed by the stone pillar was becoming more and more violent, Li Zhi controlled the divine map and soared into the sky, flying out of the ground along the tunnel opened up by the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi using the Holy Tower.

After coming out from underground and flying high into the sky, Li Zhi was surprised to find that there was no area covered by black fog around him.

"Sister Yao Chi, where is the black fog?" Li Zhi flew directly to the side of the Saint Yao Chi who was observing the changes in the Tianzhu Mountain and asked.

"All the black fog from the outside world has been absorbed by this Tianzhu Divine Mountain." Yao Chi Saint Goddess said solemnly. "We can leave now."

Recalling the quick glance he took before leaving and the changes that were about to occur in the Holy Spirit's corpse, Li Zhi said excitedly.

Afterwards, he flew directly to the top of Tianzhu Divine Mountain.

Without the obstruction of black fog, I can finally fly freely in the sky.

The Tianzhu Divine Mountain, which was originally impossible to climb, was now completely revealed to him.

Sure enough, at the top of the mountain, there appeared a deep hole that looked like a cannon muzzle.

Before he could carefully observe the entire picture of the sacred mountain.

A huge roar came from the belly of the mountain, and the entire Tianzhu Mountain began to shake, as if a huge force was about to break through the seal and burst out.

A moment later, under the shocked gazes of Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, a jet of water as black as ink spurted out directly from the top of the mountain. The black water column carried endless divine power and directly tore apart the space above the top of the mountain. The water column sprayed into an unknown place.

When Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi saw this, they realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to their hometown of Yao Chi.

"It's now."

Li Zhi directly summoned the Hundred Herbs Map, wrapped himself and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi in it, and passed directly through the space crack.

The Hundred Herbs Diagram had just completed its complete revival, and its spirit had not yet fallen asleep again, and was still able to emit supreme power.

"boom!"

After passing through a space crack area and reappearing between heaven and earth, their speed did not slow down. They directly smashed several sacred mountains before stopping.

After putting away the magical map, the two finally saw the familiar sky.

Then I saw that the sky over the Yao Chi Fairy Lake in the distance was dyed ink-black.

"Sister Yao Chi, we must leave the Yao Chi hometown immediately." Li Zhi showed a trace of fear in his eyes, and turned to say to the Saint Girl of Yao Chi beside him.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi, who was still in shock, had no objection.

Afterwards, the two of them turned into streams of light and left the Yao Chi area directly along the same path they came from.

After returning to the ground again, looking at the endless Gobi Desert in front of him, Li Zhi suddenly said to the Saintess of Yaochi: "Sister Yaochi, see you later."

After saying this, he disappeared without waiting for the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi to try to stop him.

It seems like he used the technique of teleportation.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her expression changed several times before she took out a jade talisman and activated it.

Soon, a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared beside the Saint of Yao Chi.

"Yao'er, what did you gain this time? Where is that long-lived little Taoist priest?" The protector summoned by the Saint of Yao Chi was none other than the junior sister of the Queen Mother of Yao Chi who possessed the cultivation level of a second-level immortal and whom Li Zhi had met once.

"Uncle Master." Yao Chi Saintess's eyebrows flashed with a trace of complicated emotions, and said, "He's gone."

"Gone?" The beautiful uncle-master was a little surprised, and then she returned to the holy land of Yao Chi with the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

Thirty thousand miles away, Li Zhi appeared from the void, and then hung the Hundred Herbs Map that gathered divine power in front of him.

"Senior Tu?"

Li Zhi bowed respectfully towards the Hundred Herbs Map and greeted it, as if he no longer regarded it as a simple weapon.

The Hundred Herbs Map shook slightly, and Li Zhi suddenly had an epiphany. At the same time, on the top of the Yaoshan Mountain in the Hundred Herbs Map, not far behind the longevity fruit tree, a thatched hut suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Li Zhi went straight into the picture.

I saw a wooden plaque hanging under the eaves of the thatched house, with five large divine characters "An Le Chang Sheng Ju" inscribed on it.

Li Zhi walked into it and it seemed to be a place where a Taoist once lived.

On the desk, there was a letter written on divine leather.

When Li Zhi opened the letter, he saw the words that Taoist Changshou left for future generations.

After reading the letter, Li Zhi bowed to the sky and said, "Rest in peace, senior. I will inherit your legacy and cultivate Taoism for immortality."

It turned out that the letter not only introduced the past of Taoist Changshou, but also wrote about his expectations for the monks who would be recognized by this painting.

Taoist Changshou not only obtained the fragments of "Wuhuang Sutra" of Nuwa the Great Emperor, but also obtained two volumes of Emperor Sutra of Fuxi the Great Emperor and four Emperor runes for suppressing and sealing the Dao.

The sacred peak under his feet is not only a medicine mountain, but also a sacred mountain with supreme sealing power.

The letter also introduced another method of longevity that the Taoist priest had tried before his death.

He actually merged his own soul with the spirit of the divine map, hoping to gain another kind of immortality.

But he succeeded and failed.

The spirit deity of the Hundred Herbs Map had its wisdom enhanced because of his spiritual power, and now possessed wisdom comparable to that of the imperial weapon deity.

However, the true soul of the Taoist Changshou completely withered, and his consciousness did not merge with that of the spirit of the weapon.

It simply imprinted all of his life's memories into the body of the spirit deity.

The spirit of the Hundred Herbs Map can be said to be an alternative continuation of his life, not just a simple continuation of the Great Dao.

The spirit god possesses all the memories of the long-lived Taoist priest back then, so He does not behave like a spirit god, but rather like a cold and aloof cultivator.

Now that the energy of the divine map has been gradually replenished, the memory of the spirit of the weapon has gradually recovered.

After learning about this situation, Li Zhi felt slightly relieved.

Afterwards, Li Zhi came to the sealed space at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain.

After entering, the immortal source that sealed the remaining soul of the Holy Spirit was broken.

The residual soul of the Holy Spirit Qilin has also had its consciousness wiped out by the spirit of the divine map and refined into a ball of pure soul power.

Around those stone pillars, there were floating clusters of memory fragments excavated from the residual soul of the Holy Spirit Qilin.

The fragments were not stable and seemed to be dissipating soon.

Li Zhi quickly used his divine sense to check those memory fragments.

Soon, he understood why the consciousness of the Holy Spirit Qilin had arranged him and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi in this way in the world of consciousness.

This is the unwillingness of the Holy Spirit Qilin.

Before he was born, he was found by the Holy Emperor of Fighting and was made into fertilizer to cultivate the Holy Spirit Flower.

The Holy Spirit who was lucky enough to have a remnant soul left began to destroy the arrangements of the Fighting Saint Emperor after he passed away.

In order to prevent the Fighting Saint Emperor’s childhood sweetheart from fulfilling his wish.

The Holy Spirit Qilin expelled all the pure Holy Spirit essence and blood in his body, preventing the essence from nourishing the growth of the Holy Spirit Flower.

Afterwards, he absorbed the Yin Qi, the Death Qi, and the Ghost Qi from the heaven and earth to nourish the divine flower.
Finally, he succeeded in transforming the Holy Spirit Flower into the Netherworld Flower.

It can corrupt a person's body but allow his spirit to live forever. The Holy Spirit Qilin wants to use this to punish the Fighting Saint Emperor.

Later, something strange happened in the sacred land of Yao Chi, and the underworld came knocking. A great battle shattered the void, and the burial world where it was located had an inexplicable connection with the Yao Chi Fairy Lake.

Afterwards, he manipulated the corpse, opening the channels regularly to absorb more negative energy and death energy from the outside world.

Until Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi appeared in that burial world, the remaining soul of the Holy Spirit Qilin had never come into contact with any living people.

After reading those memories, Li Zhi felt sorry for the unfortunate experience of this Holy Spirit Qilin.

It was such an unjust death.

Before he was even born and had the chance to do any evil, he was killed by the Fighting Saint Emperor.

Li Zhi did not comment on this.

No wonder He had previously used Li Zhi and the Saint Girl of Yao Chi as the protagonists in His conscious world to reenact the events between the Fighting Saint Emperor and his childhood sweetheart.

It turned out to be to find an answer.

Why was he, who never fought against others, killed by the Fighting Saint Emperor for no reason?

After seeing the choices made by Li Zhi and the Saint Girl of Yao Chi, He realized that it was not His fault.

From beginning to end, He did not make any mistakes.

After reading those memories, Li Zhi felt a little sympathy for this naive Holy Spirit.

At the same time, I also realized the cruelty of this world.

A person's life or death never depends on his own thoughts, or even on whether he is good or evil, but on whether others want to kill him.

Li Zhi knew that his physique was special and would become even more special in the future. He was afraid that he would not be able to hide from it even if he wanted to.

If his own fighting ability was not strong, countless people would treat him as prey, or even as a sweet and delicious delicacy.

For a moment, Li Zhi was overwhelmed with thoughts and his mood was not so relaxed.

Afterwards, looking at the pure holy soul power suppressed by the stone pillars, Li Zhi felt that instead of letting them be absorbed by the medicine mountain, it would be better to help him transform.

Now that we know the nature of the Holy Spirit Blood Lake, there will be no problem in extracting some Holy Spirit Blood with a higher concentration.

With the dual effects of the Holy Spirit's soul power and blood essence, his spirit and body will definitely be transformed together.

Previously in that world of consciousness, he escaped by self-destruction, which had increased his wisdom by 30%.

If the soul power and blood essence of this Holy Spirit were used for transformation, it would probably be better than the effect of the Holy Spirit's blood in the Yao Chi Holy Land.

He has no plans to deal with the Yao Chi Holy Land for the time being.

As for the transaction, let’s put it off for now.

As long as the other party does not send anyone to take back the four volumes of "Western Emperor Sutra" in his possession, they can still be friends in the future.

The Northern Territory is desolate, with uninhabited areas everywhere. Next, Li Zhi will not worry about being disturbed during his transformation.

Moreover, his transformation will not take place in the outside world. The small world within the Hundred Herbs Map is much safer than the outside world.

Just as Li Zhi was beginning his second transformation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm in the no-man's land,

The holy city in the Northern Territory was thrown into turmoil because of the "ringing of the Purple Mountain Bell".
