Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 392: The Return of the Holy Body Causes Trouble

On the edge of the ancient forbidden area, the clouds are light and the breeze is gentle. Birds are singing, insects are chirping, monkeys are howling, and beasts are roaring. It is a scene of prosperity, and the entire ancient forest seems to be evergreen forever.

Li Zhi, who had "chatted" with the ruthless emperor in fear, had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. Instead, he sat on the barren mountain in a daze.

He was not frightened by the sudden attention from the Ruthless Emperor. After all, since the emperor moved into the ancient forbidden area, his temperament had become very "kind" and he would not kill anyone easily.

Of course, those who run into the restricted area to seek death do not count.

During the period before the path to becoming an immortal was opened, the ruthless emperor should not have undergone any transformation and was just in a "clear" period.

He even spoke up several times to remind the world that "they are all wrong", but unfortunately none of the other supreme beings in the restricted area believed the judgment of the ruthless emperor.

Perhaps this is the state of mind of the strongest person who once stood at the top of all living beings.

They only trust their own judgment, and once they determine that something is right, they will never be disturbed by others.

Perhaps this is also the "hidden danger" brought about by invincible loneliness.

Once a monk loses sight of the direction to move forward, all sorts of problems are likely to arise.

The reason why Li Zhi was in a daze was not because the ruthless emperor suddenly spoke to him, but because he was very uncertain.

I thought that the Henren Emperor spoke because he was curious about the magic weapon he refined, but I never expected that the Henren Emperor didn't seem to care about the specific function of the magic weapon at all, and didn't even give any comments.

So much so that Li Zhi began to doubt this magical weapon.

I kept asking myself in my heart whether the things I had worked so hard to prepare to plot against the Supreme were actually useful.

Don't make it like the scene in front of the emperor's pass during the chaotic ancient times.

The supreme beings of the nine heavens and ten earths, with the determination to die, used their ultimate weapons that they thought could stop the Immortal King, but in the end, they failed to hurt the opponent at all.

Li Zhi didn't want to have the thing he had worked so hard to refine to deal with the Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone destroyed by a single glance from the other party.

The ruthless emperor is really something, can't he just give an evaluation?

Is the altar he refined to deal with the Supreme useful?

Li Zhi felt a little irritated, and finally took out a jar of spirit wine and started drinking it.

Why did I forget to ask whether the forbidden weapon is useful?

It’s not that Li Zhi is crazy, but he really doesn’t know whether it will work or not.

After all, how deep the magical powers of a powerful emperor really are, perhaps only a quasi-emperor of the ninth level, or a master of another level of enlightenment, can get a glimpse of it.

It is rumored in the world that the realm of the Great Emperor is a forbidden realm, and only cultivators who have entered that level can truly understand what kind of magical powers cultivators at that level possess.

Perhaps those cultivators who are at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor, or even at other levels of enlightenment, do not dare to say with confidence that they understand how powerful a true emperor is.

Since ancient times, there have been almost no written records about how powerful a true emperor was.

The Forbidden Zone Supreme, perhaps some people know how powerful they are, but they are all people who have fallen from the throne and are no longer in their prime.

No one knows how powerful Emperor Wuque is, whose vitality has never declined.

Even those who had been close to the Great Emperor could not describe how powerful he was, not even his own children.

As a great sage, Li Zhi had no idea how powerful the emperor was or what level of magic weapon could cause harm to them.

That’s right, I just don’t have any idea at all.

The only battle related to the Great Emperor that I have ever witnessed was the one in the Immortal Transformation Pond when the almost perfected Holy Spirit faced the Green Emperor.

It was just a murderous thought left by the Green Emperor, and with just one move, the almost perfected Holy Spirit holding the fully revived Taihuang Sword was wiped out.

His cultivation was very weak back then, and he couldn't even tell how much of the Great Emperor's power the Green Emperor used to kill the Holy Spirit.

Even thinking back now, he still cannot comprehend the true level of combat power that the Green Emperor used to wipe out the Immortal Emperor of Zhongzhou.

In the eyes of all living beings, the Great Sage is an unattainable being with infinite supernatural powers.

But in front of the true Supreme Emperor, the Great Sage is no different from an ant.

As his cultivation level increased, Li Zhi's understanding of how strong the emperor-level masters were became increasingly vague.

It seems that only by standing at the foot of the mountain can one realize how insignificant one is.

At this moment, Li Zhi was like an ignorant mountaineer. Seeing a mountain at the end of the distant horizon, he thought that he could reach the top of the mountain in one step. However, the closer he got to the foot of the mountain, the more he realized the true height of the tiny mountain at the end of the horizon.

When you look up, you may only see clouds floating halfway up the mountain. You may not even know how many layers of clouds there are on the mountainside, let alone see the scenery at the top of the mountain.

As a mortal, Li Zhi could easily imagine how powerful the emperor was, or casually express his feelings that the emperor was just so-so. Deep down in his heart, he even had the idea of ​​looking down on those ancient supreme emperors lurking in the forbidden zone of life.

However, as his Dao realm grew day by day and he truly embarked on the path of seeking Dao, Li Zhi realized how remarkable it was to be a cultivator who could attain Dao and become an emperor. It was not just one in a billion, but in a time interval of tens of thousands of years, in the entire universe, among billions of races, and among countless creatures, only one person could ascend to the throne.

You can imagine how amazing they are.

Looking back on his past ignorance, Li Zhi has only now gradually realized how ridiculous his thoughts were back then.

Those who watch the fire from the other side of the river will never understand the true weight of the "Ancient Great Emperor".

Only by embarking on the path of spiritual practice and standing at a certain height can one experience the feeling of the vastness and infinity of the avenue.

The Tao is endless. The higher you stand, the more you can sense the power of a higher level.

Li Zhi had no framework in his mind when trying to guess the Great Emperor's Taoism based on the Great Sage's cultivation level, and even his concepts were vague.

Li Zhi used to be dismissive of the sayings that one path suppresses ten thousand paths, or that one person can become an emperor and block the way for all spirits.

A mere emperor is nothing more than this. So what if someone has achieved enlightenment before him? When the time comes, he can just shatter all the paths and step on the Heavenly Heart Seal to become an emperor.

However, ever since his cultivation level reached the Great Sage realm, Li Zhi has never had such thoughts in his mind again.

After only moving up three small steps in the Great Sage level, his basic combat power became more than five times as strong as before.

If his cultivation level were to rise to the peak of the Great Sage, Li Zhi believed that his strength would be at least ten times higher than it is now.

Li Zhi therefore concluded that those cultivators who were able to become emperors in the past must not have been weaker than him when they reached the Great Sage realm.

It is absolutely not something that an ordinary great sage can compare to.

There are such huge changes at the Great Sage level. Once you break through to the Quasi-Emperor level, the changes will be even greater with each small realm upgrade.

The ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, it is said that each small realm is equivalent to the previous big realm.

It seems that there will definitely be an exponential change. Even if the strength of each small realm is only twice that of the previous small realm, the gap between the first level of Quasi-Emperor and the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor is 256 times.

If the strength of each advancement to a smaller realm is three times that of the previous realm, the difference between the first level of Quasi-Emperor and the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor is more than six thousand times.

If the change is more than three times, the final gap will be even larger.

Not to mention the ultimate leap when he became emperor.

Although Li Zhi didn't know whether other people's strength showed an exponential change, his strength did change exponentially within a small range.

When the Great Sage's Third Heaven is complete, it is already four times as powerful as the Great Sage's First Heaven at the beginning.

For some reason, after breaking through to the fourth level of the Great Sage, there was no exponential transformation, and he was only slightly stronger than the peak of the third level of the Great Sage.

However, this kind of change is also astonishing. If his strength also changes in this way during his practice at the middle stage of the Great Sage, then when his cultivation breaks through to the peak of the Great Sage, his strength will be at least fifty times or even a hundred times that of the first level of the Great Sage.

This exponential growth in strength was a change that Li Zhi had never experienced in any major realm before.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the secret method of "Thirty-six Changes of the Great Way" that he practiced.

In short, comparing his own situation, Li Zhi was unable to guess the strength of the emperor-level strongmen.

Li Zhi believed that his strength could grow exponentially, and those strong people who could achieve enlightenment would definitely be able to do this.

During the battle, if the strength of the two sides differs by one times, it would be fatal, and if the difference is ten times, it would be invincible and crushing.

This also applies to cultivators at the same level. Whoever can possess the divine ban represents the terrifying power of invincibility.

If the ruthless emperor didn't say anything, perhaps Li Zhi, who is ignorant and fearless, would still have some expectations for the forbidden weapon he was refining.

However, the ruthless emperor's attention to his actions obviously exceeded his curiosity about the forbidden weapon he had refined, which made Li Zhi very uneasy.

The ruthless emperor was a very powerful being who could kill a quasi-emperor ninth-level cultivator with just a slap.

Her true strength is absolutely the best in the current universe.

There is no dispute about the first place.

As for the Emperor, the Immortal Emperor, and the Beginningless Emperor, they have all left this world and will not be discussed here.

Perhaps the Great Emperor looks upon the Great Sage the same way that Li Zhi looks upon the two great immortals.

A drop of blood or a hair from the emperor can kill a peak great sage.

Even just his aura could make the Great Sage explode.

Just when Li Zhi was unable to understand how powerful the emperor was and whether the forbidden weapon he refined was useful.

Another big thing happened in the outside world.

Ye Fan, who slaughtered the ancient human race trial road with blood, returned from outside the domain with a group of saint kings.

As soon as Ye Fan and others returned, they showed fierce murderous intent and directly massacred the Jinwu clan that descended from the Huosang Star to Beidou, and even killed the old Great Sage of the Jinwu clan.

The iron-blooded approach made people feel creepy and directly caused a huge disturbance in Beidou.

All the heroes shut up and dared not raise any question.

Afterwards, in order to save his disciple Huahua, Ye Fan launched an initiative to gather heroes in the Northern Territory Divine City to attack Mount Xumi together.

He even issued a manifesto to conquer Mount Sumeru.

"The predecessors of Buddhism fed tigers with their own bodies and fed eagles with their own flesh. They were compassionate and sympathetic. But now Xumi, relying on his magical powers, no longer distinguishes right from wrong. He bullies the weak, tramples on Buddhist principles, converts people into slaves, deceives the world and steals reputation, and acts like a demon..."

As soon as this article came out, the city of God was in an uproar, the world was in an uproar, and it triggered a shocking wave.

There were people who secretly wished for chaos in the world, adding fuel to the fire for the actions of Ye Fan and others. Even many saints who came to Beidou from outside the domain responded to this matter.

With the instigation of many forces, anti-Buddhist voices were heard everywhere in the world, as if the whole world was going to attack Mount Sumeru together.

Perhaps someone wanted to use Ye Fan's hand to weigh the Buddhist sect that dominated the Western Desert and see what was on Mount Xumi.

Li Xianer and Jin Ming, who were training outside, also heard about this.

"Sister Xian'er, should we get involved in this?" Jin Ming asked.

"I believe Huahua will not be converted by Buddhism so easily, but since Uncle Ye has issued a manifesto to attack Mount Xumi, we should go and help him." Li Xianer said.

Today, Jin Ming's cultivation is still at the peak level of a saint, accumulating strength, while Li Xianer's cultivation has already grown to the fifth level of a saint, and the speed of growth is quite fast.

"Should I notify Master?" Jin Ming naturally knew how powerful Mount Xumi was.

"We should inform our father." Li Xianer nodded.

“Perhaps Master has received the news in advance and has already gone to the Northern Territory Divine City. Let’s go to the Northern Territory Divine City first to take a look.” Jin Ming said.

Afterwards, Jin Ming and Li Xianer went to the Northern Divine City together.

There they saw the forces going to support Ye Fan.

There are strong men from the Ji family in the southern region of East Wilderness, strong men from the demon clan and the golden-winged old Peng King from the Tianyao Palace in the central region of East Wilderness, the Peacock King and the Red Dragon Taoist in the northern region of East Wilderness and other forces that are friendly with Ye Fan, as well as Emperor Xia Yiming and his sister Xia Yilin of the Great Xia Dynasty in Zhongzhou, strong men from the Nanling barbarians, and even great saints from the ancient royal family like the Princess of the Divine Silkworm.

Of course, Ye Fan’s Heavenly Court troops are also strong and powerful, and each of them has extraordinary strength.

After entering the Divine City, Li Xian'er and Jin Ming were quite surprised to see that Ye Fan had actually gathered so many powerful people.

"Uncle Ye, we will also take part in the attack on Mount Xumi." Li Xian'er said immediately after seeing Ye Fan.

"Miss Xian'er, why don't you see Taoist Li?" Seeing that only Jin Ming was beside Li Xian'er, Li Heishui asked directly.

Ten years ago, Li Zhi caused a huge commotion in the Taoist temple, and immediately let the world know that his cultivation had broken through to the Great Sage realm.

Unfortunately, after overcoming the tribulation, no one knew where Li Zhi moved the Taoist temple.

As for the Ji family, the Yao Chi Holy Land, the Jiang family, and the Yaoguang Holy Land, these four families had attacked the Immortal Path together with Li Zhi in advance, so they would naturally not reveal Li Zhi's whereabouts.

"My father may be in seclusion and has not seen Uncle Ye's manifesto. I originally planned to see if my father has come. If he doesn't come, I will go back and inform him." Li Xianer said.

"Niece, I haven't seen Taoist Li for many years. Let me go with you to invite him. One more great saint means a better chance of winning." Li Heishui said.

Zhang Qingyang, Ye Fan's registered disciple, also said, "Sister Xian'er, can I go with you to visit Senior Li?"

"Of course." Li Xianer said.
