Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 398: Many Disputes at the Ten Thousand Races Conference

The impact of the battle between Li Zhi and An Pu did not last for a few days.

As the date of the Congress of All Races approaches, heroes from all sides gather in the City of Darkness.

There were countless shocking battles, and many times no one even knew where the two warring parties were from.

In such a noisy environment, the heat of the battle between Li Zhi and An Pu naturally passed quickly.

Countless monks flocked to the Dark City for the sake of the benefits on the road to becoming immortals and to fight for the opportunity to become immortals for their respective races.

This behavior was so crazy that Li Zhi even suspected for a moment that they were possessed by evil spirits, actually believing that they would have a share in the immortality journey once it was opened.

Perhaps this is the different views that Li Zhi and other sentient beings have on becoming immortals.

The extremely limited lifespan has destined these monks struggling to survive in the mortal world to have a strong desire to become immortals. The more powerful the monk is, the more he desires to "become an immortal" and enjoy the endless benefits that will come from his long lifespan.

Almost all the powerful races that were supposed to be scattered throughout the universe appeared in the Dark City.

These people are everywhere in the Dark City, making this city with countless legends more lively than the temple fairs of mortals.

These cultivators came from all over the heavens and all realms, and they were of all kinds of races, even powerful races that had only appeared in rumors, such as the Pixiu, the Black Phoenix, the God-Devouring Rat, and the Sky-Splitting Ant.

Moreover, not all monks of these races transformed into human form, and their appearances were even more bizarre.

It opened the eyes of all the monks, and they were amazed that there were so many intelligent races in the universe.

Li Xian'er and Jin Ming wandered among the various restaurants in the Dark City as if they were shopping, and participated in one gathering after another held by cultivators of various races.

"Sister Xian'er, Master had a fierce battle with the visitors from the Immortal Mountain, why hasn't he come back to find us?" Jin Ming felt extremely happy when she thought of the peerless grace that Li Zhi had displayed outside the domain before.

"Dad is probably waiting for the right time." Li Xian'er remembered what Li Zhi had said to him before. In order to ensure their personal safety after the road to immortality is opened, they should seize as many imperial weapons as possible before the road to immortality is opened.

Li Xian'er and Jin Ming do not care about the so-called opportunity to become immortals.

The things that people are willing to risk their lives to pursue are nothing but illusions in their eyes.

To become an immortal, you can only rely on yourself.

This is what Li Zhi taught Li Xianer and Jin Ming.

When others were unsure whether there were immortals in the world, the two of them had already known that not only did immortals exist, but they were also divided into three levels: true immortals, immortal kings, and immortal emperors.

Moreover, if one wants to become an immortal, one must have sufficient accumulation. According to Li Zhi, if one wants to cultivate to the realm of Immortal King in the future, it is not enough to rely on one lifetime to polish the foundation. It is best to accumulate the fruits of Taoism for more than five lifetimes in the mortal world.

Only in this way can one ensure that one can hone the foundation of an Immortal King in the mortal world.

In Li Zhi's opinion, becoming a true immortal is nothing. Only when one can cultivate the fruit of the Immortal King can one be considered an immortal who has initially realized the freedom of the immortal path.

Only then will you be able to travel among the various realms and experience the true prosperity of the world.

Only then will you have the confidence to say to others, "I am now able to open my eyes and see the world."

But becoming an immortal is not an easy thing, even in the ancient era of immortals it is not an easy thing.

According to Li Zhi's understanding, if he wanted to ensure that he could survive the catastrophe of becoming an immortal and become a true immortal, he must at least accumulate the fruits of the Great Emperor's Dao for two lifetimes in the mortal world and be able to step on the Heavenly Heart Seal. Only then would he have a more than 50% chance of completely surviving the catastrophe of becoming an immortal.

The great emperor's accumulation in one lifetime is far from enough to become an immortal.

Especially those supreme beings who cut their own swords. Even if they successfully enter the fairyland, they will eventually die of old age, which cannot change their predicament of not being able to become immortals.

Because of their condition, they were unable to make any progress in their cultivation and were simply unable to survive the true calamity of becoming an immortal.

This is the real secret about immortals that Li Zhi told Li Xian'er and Jin Ming. It is a secret that cannot be told. When Li Zhi was teaching them the secret about immortals, he almost brought down heavenly punishment.

Therefore, in the Dark City, Li Xian'er and Jin Ming acted more like they were simply there to gain experience, which was slightly out of tune with the performance of the others.

Instead, it attracted the attention of many powerful people from big families.

But no one dared to attack them. The identities of Li Xian'er and Jin Ming were not a secret, which was enough to make them afraid.

Because Li Zhi had just demonstrated his strength not long ago, showing unparalleled combat effectiveness in the battlefield outside the domain, and was suspected of defeating the forbidden area.

Although Li Zhi did not appear in the Dark City after the war, everyone still had a sense of his strength.

On the day when the event opened, clouds and mist rolled above the Dark City, waves were heavy, a crack appeared in the sky, and an ancient continent was drawn out from the void.

Countless people exclaimed, never having imagined that there was actually a vast ancient suspended continent hidden above the Dark City.

On the ancient continent, the mountains are towering, the heavenly palace is magnificent, and the ancient atmosphere is overwhelming, making people feel the aura of a primeval beast, as if they have come to the beginning of time and are truly standing above the sea of ​​clouds.

This is the location where the grand gathering of all races is held. The great monks work together to open the seal of the void and summon this dormant ancient continent. All disputes will take place here.

The ancient continent is covered with lines that look like lightning interweaving, shining brightly in the sea of ​​clouds, protecting the ancient continent. This is a powerful defensive structure.

In the past, this continent would not come into the world until there was a dark turmoil. It was a suspended fortress for all living beings to resist the dark turmoil.

Now, in order to discuss the path to becoming an immortal, this dormant ancient continent has been summoned out again.

"when!"

In a sky tower on the ancient continent, there hangs a huge golden bell. When it is struck, the sound reaches all directions, heralding the official start of the grand event.

Then, many streams of light rushed into the sky from all parts of the Dark City, all kinds of magical weapons were flying, and the rays of light were radiant, illuminating the entire world with a dazzling look.

The event officially began, and strong men from all over the universe made their appearance, stepped onto the ancient continent, and entered the sky, as if the Heavenly Court was going to hold a conference of all immortals.

There is a three-legged golden crow from the Fire Mulberry Star, emitting blazing golden light, led by the Great Sage, with an aura that is soul-stirring.

There are centipedes that are poisonous insects of the Great Sage level that have broken through the void and descended from outside the domain.

There was a phoenix cry that shook the nine heavens. The Blood Phoenix Great Sage from Blood Phoenix Mountain was the old patriarch of the tribe. Between his eyebrows, he exuded a burst of extreme aura that shocked everyone. It was the aura of the tribe's most precious treasure, the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd, which he carried with him, and countless people avoided it.

This directly shows an attitude that is invincible and ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Afterwards, major forces that possessed ultimate weapons, such as the Ji family, the Jiang family, the Huolin Cave, the Yaochi, the Yuanshi Lake, and the Shencan Ridge, showed up one after another, causing many powerful men who came from outside the domain to frown.

If these forces that control extreme weapons are too strong, they will have no chance at all.

All races gathered together to gain the greatest benefits and to initially establish a rule that they would not fight each other on the road to becoming immortals.

However, judging from the attitudes shown by the major powerful clans, it seems that reaching an agreement is not so easy.

In the blink of an eye, countless figures emerged and entered the palace on the ancient continent.

Not long after, large-scale bloodshed occurred in the ancient Lu Tianque.

Many strong men started killing people without restraint when they disagreed with each other, which was simply a spoiler of the event. Some great saints of the ancient clan could not stand it and scolded them, "You are killing people here. This conference is to avoid bloodshed and conflict, not to let you compete with each other. If you want to fight to the death, go to the battlefield outside the domain and fight immediately. This is not a place for you to be so presumptuous. Get out of here."

Another great sage from outside the domain had a different opinion. He said quietly, "Daoyou, you are too kind. This conference is for all races to discuss things together. They just had a disagreement, so it's normal for them to decide who wins and who loses."

Almost half of the monks hold the attitude that the life and death of others has nothing to do with me.

In order to find the chance to become immortal, they don't mind the death of a group of people.

Nowadays, there are so many powerful people descending from the heavens and all realms that people feel that if they don’t kill a group of them, the path to becoming an immortal will not be able to accommodate them.

The purpose of holding this grand meeting is precisely for this reason. Some powerful tribes want to join forces to formulate a law that will make the vast majority of people retreat.

Unfortunately, if he is not an emperor, how can he command the heroes? This event is doomed to be full of turmoil.

As soon as the conference started, the Great Sage turned hostile and rushed directly from the Central Heavenly Palace to the outer realm to confront each other.

Fortunately, they knew that this was not the time for a big war, and after a brief confrontation, they returned from outside the territory.

Fierce quarrels continued to break out in the Central Heavenly Palace, and even the table was overturned more than once or twice. The giants from all sides divided into many camps for negotiations.

For the human race, this conference is much better than the last grand gathering of all races held in the Holy Land of Yao Chi. No blind race dares to target the human race.

Just the two human saints sitting in the Heavenly Palace were enough to make them feel under tremendous pressure. They came from the Ji Family and the Great Xia Dynasty respectively, and both were forces that possessed extremely powerful weapons.

Outside the Heavenly Palace, there are also great saints of the human race who are eyeing them covetously. Among them are the feared Taoist longevity master Li Zhi and the human race's holy body Ye Fan, as well as the God King Jiang Taixu, and even the quasi-emperor Gai Jiuyou and other human race strongmen.

There were huge crowds of people inside and outside the Heavenly Palace, and many powerful people expressed their views. Various opinions and suggestions almost flooded the place.

But at this moment, the sky collapsed, two figures soared into the sky, sank into the sky, and a shocking battle broke out directly in the sky.

"boom!"

The horrific aftermath of the battle spread, even causing the entire ancient continent to be protected by bursts of blazing light.

"This is... an extreme force, there are imperial weapons colliding." Someone exclaimed.

No one expected that less than half a day after the conference began, the imperial weapons began to clash. Many powerful people from small tribes felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

On the battlefield outside the domain, two powerful men who summoned imperial weapons confronted each other, dividing the sky into two irreconcilable areas.

On one side it was as cold as the sea, on the other side it was raging with flames, and the emperor's might was overwhelming.

In the raging flames, a man in white clothes as white as snow and as graceful as jade stood proudly and independently. He was Jiang Yifei, the holy leader of the Jiang family. In his palm was a bright red and crystal furnace that seemed to be dripping with blood. He stood in the air, as extraordinary and peerless as a god who had just come out of the world.

Opposite it, in the extremely cold mist, a black treasure seal emitting tremendous Taiyin power seemed to be floating in the Taiyin Sea, with thousands of silk threads hanging down, protecting a white-haired old man with a third vertical eye underneath.

"The Human Emperor Seal has finally been born."

Outside the City of Darkness, Li Zhi looked up at the Seal of the Human Emperor that appeared in the sky outside the domain. Two dazzling rays of light burst out of his eyes, and then he soared into the air and rushed to the outside world.

Above the sky, the two men activated the imperial weapons and confronted each other. The imperial aura swept between heaven and earth, causing all the saints below to tremble.

Finally, several great saints flew into the sky, and the power of imperial weapons spread out, persuading the two men not to start a war.

An old Great Sage tried to mediate the dispute, saying, "My two Taoist friends, the dispute between Emperor Hengyu and the descendants of Kunlun is all old. Many years have passed. Let's not discuss it today. Let's just talk about the road to becoming an immortal."

Great Sage Hun Tuo also stepped forward, with a compassionate look on his face, and said, "My two Taoist friends, please calm down. Peace is the most important thing in everything."

"Back then, Hengyu killed the twin quasi-emperors of my clan. Two emperors from one family, all dead, and he showed no mercy. This blood feud has not been forgotten to this day." The white-haired old man gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to tear Jiang Yifei opposite him to pieces.

"Wulian Tianzun, there are many corpses on the road to your great emperor. Why practice cultivation if you are afraid of death? Go home and hug your child." Li Zhi's voice resounded through the sky from far away.

"Who is barking there? Get out here." The white-haired old man was furious, and the Human Emperor Seal on his head burst out with Taiyin Divine Light, and brushed towards the direction where Li Zhi's voice came from.

However, the Taiyin Divine Light suddenly disappeared halfway, shocking everyone.

“Descendants of Kunlun, the Seal of the Human Emperor does not belong to you. Hand over the seal and I will spare your life.” A fragment of the Seal of the Human Emperor on Li Zhi’s head turned into a small hill and appeared in everyone’s sight.

Above the fragments, there were traces of Taiyin divine power hanging down, which was almost exactly the same as the aura of the Human Emperor Seal on the white-haired old man's head.

"Interesting, are we going to witness a unique spectacle of the emperor's weapon changing hands today?"

Many people were filled with gossip when they saw Li Zhi suddenly rushing out. Even the few great saints who tried to stop the fight didn't know how to persuade them.

"My dear friend Changshou, what are you doing?" asked the Great Sage Huntuo.

"The Seal of the Human Emperor represents the majesty of our human race. How can it fall into the hands of aliens? It was not difficult to find out its whereabouts before. But now that I know it has fallen into the hands of aliens, I will naturally not let the seal be covered in dust. I will definitely take it back to the human race." Li Zhi said calmly.

"This longevity Taoist is too fanciful, he actually wants to snatch the imperial weapon from the Kunlun survivors, isn't he afraid of being wiped out by the great saint of the Kunlun survivors?" Many people were puzzled by Li Zhi's statement. That was the ultimate imperial weapon, it couldn't be taken away easily.

"No, look at the magic weapon on Taoist Changshou's head. Doesn't it look like the broken corner of the Human Emperor Seal?" At this moment, someone discovered the full picture of the mountain-like weapon on Li Zhi's head that exuded the power of Taiyin.

"It's going to be a good show." Many people would love to see a conflict between the Great Sage of the human race and the Great Sage of the Kunlun descendants, and it would be best if both sides could suffer heavy losses.

"I don't think it's a good show. Do you remember the battle between the Taoist Changshou and the strange ancient prince outside the domain a few days ago? Some people suspected that the strange ancient prince came from the forbidden zone of life." Others felt that things might not be as simple as everyone thought.

“Young man from the human race, do you really think you can go against me just because you got a piece of the imperial weapon fragment? Today, I will kill you first, and then kill the descendants of Hengyu.” The third eye between the eyebrows of the white-haired old man seemed to begin to breed the light of destruction.

At the same time, the Human Emperor Seal on his head burst out with an even more terrifying aura, and the Taiyin Emperor Qi was so pervasive that it seemed as if it would shatter the entire sky. Upon seeing this, Jiang Yifei hurriedly increased the revival level of the Hengyu Furnace and blocked the Emperor Wave for Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi said to Jiang Yifei: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please put away the Hengyu Furnace. The Human Emperor Seal is the most precious treasure of our race. How could it harm the descendants of the human race like us?"

"Master Li..." Seeing this, Jiang Yifei was about to persuade Li Zhi not to be reckless.

But before he finished speaking, Li Zhi sent him a voice message: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, can you block the interference of other imperial weapons for me? It only takes a moment, and I will be able to take back the Human Emperor Seal."

"Okay." Jiang Yifei agreed to Li Zhi's request without hesitation.

He was full of curiosity about Li Zhi. He always felt that there was a mysterious veil shrouding Li Zhi and he couldn't see the truth behind the veil.

The fact that they had been able to determine the location of the path to immortality in advance simply astonished the great saints of their families.

Now, he had to snatch the Human Emperor Seal, which the Kunlun descendants had been refining for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

To him, it was simply a fantasy.

Unless the emperor weapon god of the Human Emperor Seal revives and recognizes Li Zhi, the emperor weapon is not something that can be taken away so easily.

However, Li Zhi does not have Taiyin blood in his body. If it were Jiang Tingting from their Jiang family who had Taiyin blood, perhaps the chance of her taking back the Human Emperor Seal would be greater than Li Zhi.

Everyone thought it was a fight between the descendants of Kunlun and the Hengyu lineage, but no one expected that Li Zhi would suddenly appear and the matter would turn into a fight for the ownership of the imperial soldiers. This is a rare event in history.

The great sages who had come to mediate the fight were all silent at this moment, as they all wanted to see how Li Zhi would snatch the imperial soldiers from the Kunlun survivors.

　There will be no more chapters at night. By the way, if there is no update after 12 o'clock at night, it means there will be no more chapters for the day. Everyone go to bed early and get up early to stay healthy. Winter is coming, and the inspiration at night is not as active as in summer. I don’t know if my brain is frozen. It will be the beginning of winter soon. I will try to adjust my work and rest schedule and try to update two chapters during the day. Good night, fellow book friends!
