Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 403 Twenty Years

The holy land of Yaochi is like a dream, like a paradise on earth.

After Li Zhi arrived at Yao Chi, he was taken to a palace by a Yao Chi disciple. Li Xian'er and Jin Ming were following the Yao Chi Saint Maiden to learn various matters about managing the holy land.

The news that the road to immortality has been opened has already reached the sacred land of Yao Chi, and some ancient saints have gone to investigate the situation of the road to immortality.

However, Li Zhi's sudden visit surprised everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, why are you back?" asked the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Fellow Daoist Yao Chi, thank you for your teaching of Xian'er and Ming'er during this period. Beidou is about to be in chaos. I came to ask them whether they want to evacuate with you, Yao Chi, or with me." Li Zhi did not hide anything and spoke directly to the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi.

"Dad, are we going back to our hometown now?" Li Xianer asked hurriedly.

“Well, once the road to becoming an immortal is opened, the supreme being in the restricted area will surely be born. By then, the world will be in chaos, and only the Earth will be safe.” Li Zhi said.

Afterwards, Li Zhi asked the Saintess of Yaochi: "What is the plan of the Holy Land of Yaochi?"

"Yao Chi has made preparations for the relocation of the entire religion. Once something unexpected happens, the holy land will respond immediately." The Saint of Yao Chi also learned about the dangers of the immortal road from those predecessors.

However, the Yao Chi Holy Land is guarded by the West Emperor Tower, which can ensure the safety of the holy land.

After staying in Yaochi for only half a day, Li Zhi took Li Xianer and Jin Ming away.

After leaving Yaochi, Li Xianer asked, "Dad, why do we have to evacuate now? Don't we wait and see what it will look like after the road to immortality is opened?"

Li Zhi said: "There will be plenty of time to visit the Immortal Path in the future. The Supreme of the Forbidden Zone is not easy to deal with. Moreover, when the Immortal Path is opened, a Quasi-Emperor from outside the domain will surely descend. If a Quasi-Emperor from the Kunlun surviving race appears, I am not sure I can escape."

"Master, should we go back to the Taoist temple first, or leave Beidou directly? Didn't you say that when the path to becoming an immortal is opened, the laws of the two worlds will merge, which is a rare opportunity for enlightenment?" Jin Ming said.

"Ming'er, aren't you afraid?" Li Zhi asked when he saw Jin Ming's determined look.

"Ming'er is not afraid of anything. It's just that I think we can't be timid in doing things just because we are afraid of the Supreme in the restricted area. When we move forward bravely, we must never retreat." A terrifying fighting spirit rose from Jin Ming's body, as if he wanted to wrestle with the Supreme in the restricted area on the road to immortality.

Li Zhi was very pleased to see Jin Ming's fighting spirit. Perhaps because he knew too much, he was a little timid.

I only thought about how to avoid this most terrifying dark turmoil in history.

But I never thought that crisis, crisis, crisis and opportunity are always two sides of the same coin. The more dangerous the time, the greater the opportunity and fortune you can get.

"In that case, let's not leave Beidou for now." A hint of determination flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.

"Dad, what are you going to do?" Li Xianer asked curiously.

"Picking chestnuts from the fire, seizing treasures from the chaos, your father wants to steal the ultimate fortune on the road to becoming an immortal." Li Zhi said with a determined face, while a mysterious aura emanated from his body.

Afterwards, the three of them quietly returned to the Southern Region and stopped thousands of miles away from the ancient restricted area.

"Dad, what should we do next?" Li Xianer asked.

"Retreat." Li Zhi said.

"Retreat? Didn't you say you wanted to steal the secrets of heaven? Why do you want to retreat?" Li Xian'er asked with a puzzled look on her face.

In her opinion, Li Zhi's so-called stealing of the secrets of heaven was to use the imperial soldiers to break down the barriers of the immortal road, and then steal the laws of the immortal realm or the treasures scattered on the immortal road from it.

Just like the last time he used four imperial weapons to attack the path to immortality in the depths of the void.

"Master, are you sure you can bring down the laws of the fairyland from the path to immortality?" Jin Ming seemed to have thought of something and spoke directly.

"There are many ways to steal the secrets of heaven. Don't be bound by form. What do you think is the greatest fortune on the road to becoming an immortal?" Li Zhi asked.

"It's the immortal substance contained in the immortal energy. If we get enough of the immortal substance, we can use it to extend our lifespan and even transform our physical bodies." Li Xianer said.

"Disciple thinks it is the laws of immortality. Master said that the reason why cultivators in the human universe cannot become immortals is because there is a lack of laws of immortality between heaven and earth, not because of a lack of immortal spirits containing immortal substances. No matter how profound the cultivation of cultivators is, they cannot bring about the calamity of becoming immortals in the human world. If this path to becoming immortal is connected to the fairyland, even if it is just a crack, there will inevitably be laws of immortality escaping from the fairyland. At that time, if there is a supreme being who can seize the opportunity, he can use it to comprehend the way of true immortals. Perhaps there are some who can survive the calamity of becoming immortals without even having to enter the fairyland, and become immortal true immortals." Jin Ming expressed her thoughts.

"You two are both right. The most precious thing on the road to becoming an immortal is not entering the immortal realm, but feeling the true laws of immortality." Li Zhi nodded.

Then, Li Zhi took out the Coffin of Life.

"Master, are we going to burrow underground next?" Jin Ming asked.

"Next, I will set up a sky-stealing formation near the ancient forbidden area. It would be more appropriate to set it up underground." Li Zhi said.

After the three of them entered the Coffin of Life together, they disappeared deep into the earth of Beidou.

It didn't stop until it arrived right below the rift in the fairyland in the void.

Afterwards, Li Zhi opened up a small underground space deep in the earth and set up a huge formation.

Li Xian'er and Jin Ming vaguely felt that Li Zhi's formation was very magical. It could actually merge with the earth and borrow the power of the ancient Big Dipper.

Their feeling was correct, but Li Zhi did not borrow the original power of the ancient Beidou star, but borrowed some of the power of the Tongtian Immortal Formation arranged by the Supreme.

The Five Realms of Beidou is a huge immortal formation that possesses extraordinary power.

Only after Li Zhi obtained the complete "group" secret did he have the ability to borrow part of the power of the immortal formation.

General Li Zhi took out the Xiantian Bagua Diagram and the Chaos Body Mirror to suppress the center of the formation.

The underground space was instantly shrouded in chaos, as if under the communication of the Chaos Body Mirror, it had completely merged with the ancient star of Beidou.

Even if the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone scanned the area with his divine sense, he would ignore the changes here.

Unless their true bodies come out of the fairyland, they will ignore the existence of this underground space with the power of their divine consciousness alone.

It took them three full months to set up the Heaven-stealing Formation.

Looking at the large array space where the essence was so dense that it was about to appear liquid, Li Xian'er and Jin Ming sighed: "The life essence here is even denser than the essence in the dojo."

"Okay, let's start our retreat here." Li Zhi looked at his masterpiece and said with great satisfaction.

"Dad, is this all?" Li Xian'er asked in surprise. The formation seemed to be different from what Li Zhi said.

"Master, are you still missing some of the most important things that you haven't arranged in the formation?" Jin Ming also felt that the effect of the formation seemed to be only to condense the essence of heaven and earth, but it did not have the function of capturing the laws of the fairyland and the fairy spirit as Li Zhi had said before.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the most important thing is, of course, the last appearance."

Then Li Zhi took out the human-shaped elixir of immortality from the coffin of life and planted it in one of the array eyes. In an instant, the chaotic space was filled with nine-colored light.

Afterwards, Li Zhi sacrificed the mysterious fairy tree in the secret realm of the Taoist Palace and planted it next to the human-shaped elixir of immortality.

In an instant, the entire formation space became completely different, and countless laws of heaven and earth were still converging towards that small world in the underground space.

Li Zhi placed three cushions next to the human-shaped immortality potion and said to Li Xian'er and Jin Ming, "From now on, you should just meditate and gain enlightenment. Your father will take care of the rest."

Soon, Li Xian'er and Jin Ming, who were sitting next to the elixir of immortality, were enveloped by the power of countless laws.

The only true god in Li Zhi's Taoist temple flew to three feet above his head and began to chant the "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" scripture.

At the same time, on the mountain facing the huge rift in the void, an ordinary sapling suddenly began to grow rapidly, and grew wildly by devouring the holy blood scattered on the ground.

In just a few breaths, it grew from a small tree less than one meter tall to a towering tree hundreds of feet tall.

This change directly attracted the attention of everyone present, but before they could figure out what was going on, the towering tree continued to grow like the legendary Jianmu that could connect to the fairyland.

Soon its crown reached the huge crack in the void.

"Jianmu reaches the sky?" Many people looked at the huge tree that seemed to be piercing the sky with puzzlement.

If it hadn't emitted the aura of the primordial spirit, everyone would have thought it was some tree king trying to become an immortal. Under everyone's curious gaze, the crown of the ancient tree began to stretch toward the inside of the void crack.

However, the ending was already determined. The power of the law of chaos emanating from the huge crack in the void that caused the Great Sage to bleed directly shattered the tree canopy.

Unfortunately, the big tree seemed to have gone crazy and wanted to extend its body into the fairyland.

Constantly absorbing the essence between heaven and earth and growing madly.

"What method is this?"

Many great saints felt somewhat puzzled by this scene. How could one day they saw a big tree without any spiritual intelligence striving to become an immortal?

What surprised them even more was that they did not realize that this was the result of someone else's spell, as if it was really a tree yearning for the fairyland.

In order to find out the purpose of this magical tree, everyone did not destroy this ordinary tree.

This scene lasted for more than a month. Finally, the tree seemed to have exhausted all its strength and turned into ashes with a "bang".

At the moment the big tree disappeared, everyone vaguely saw a towering fairy tree that was completely constructed by the power of the laws of heaven and earth. The sun, moon and stars were just leaves hanging on the fairy tree.

It looks very much like the world tree in the legend that has the power to suppress the order of the world.

Everyone could vaguely sense a special will in it, as if it was unwilling to see the world broken apart, and wanted to rise from the fairyland to give back to the human world.

Soon, the phantom of the world tree constructed by the laws disappeared.

"Fellow Taoists, what do you think?" Many great saints gathered together to discuss the matter.

"This may not be a natural occurrence, but someone is secretly doing something wrong." Many people think that someone must be behind this.

Afterwards, the Great Sage came to the barren mountain and checked the roots of the tree that had completely decayed, but he did not find anything abnormal on it.

And in a place they could not see, Li Zhi's mysterious fairy tree had stretched out countless energy roots and taken root along the mysterious void passage to the path to immortality.

The human-shaped elixir of immortality also emits nine-colored divine light that blesses the mysterious fairy tree, in order to stabilize the duration of those mysterious void passages.

Afterwards, a large amount of spiritual energy and immortal energy on the road to becoming an immortal were led into the small underground world.

That's right, that big tree was the special variety planted by Li Zhi before. It had a trace of Jianmu gene in its body, and its growth was also secretly led by Li Zhi, in order to cover up the strange phenomenon that occurred when the mysterious fairy tree ignored the laws that could make the Great Sage bleed and took root in the immortal path.

After absorbing the immortal energy brought from the road to immortality, the human-shaped elixir of immortality seemed to have taken a tonic and began a new round of rapid growth.

From time to time, the laws of the fairyland were swallowed by the human-shaped immortality potion, making it stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the mysterious fairy tree, which served as the main force, vaguely produced six mysterious fruits that were completely outlined by the laws of the fairyland.

It seems that as long as it is not a law of the human world, it will be instilled into the six law fruits.

The magical movement created by Li Zhi did not produce much impact.

But since that day, the frequency of the fairy energy emanating from the huge crack in the void has slowed down.

However, this does not affect the bloody battle that occurs every time the fairy light escapes.

As time goes by, the huge rift in the void is still expanding slowly.

However, the number of saints falling in the huge cracks in the void is increasing.

Thousands of saints shed their blood there.

The mountains and forests below were almost all dyed red by the blood and essence of the saints scattered by the powerful people from all sides.

Countless fragments of holy weapons were scattered everywhere.

It’s a pity that no one paid attention to these “junk”. The temptation of becoming an immortal is beyond imagination.

Seeing batch after batch of saints, even the Great Sage, bleeding in front of the huge crack in the void, Li Zhi felt a chill in his heart.

If the real immortal gate is opened, given the madness of all living beings, I am afraid that in the end no one will be able to successfully step into the immortal realm.

It was just like the situation when the road to immortality was opened.

The supreme masters of the restricted area fought to the death, and in the end no one wanted to let others get ahead.

As a result, they missed the opportunity for the human world and the fairyland to border each other, which only appears once every million years.

Li Zhi didn't believe it, as similar situations had never occurred in ancient times.

This desperate attempt to become an immortal actually benefited Li Zhi.

In places where no one was paying attention, after those saints exploded, some of the holy bones and blood that were scattered on the ground all disappeared quietly.

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a flash.

The huge crack in the void has also grown from a few meters long at the beginning to more than three hundred and fifty meters long now.

There are faint signs that it will no longer expand.

Li Zhi had a vague feeling that a disaster was about to happen. It seemed that continuing to steal the essence of the immortal path would bring about a catastrophic disaster.

Li Zhi severed the connection between the Taoist Palace Immortal Tree and the Path to Immortality.

Even the human-shaped immortality elixir that suddenly lost the nourishment of the immortal essence gave off a wave of consciousness that indicated it was not full.

Li Zhi comforted him, "Don't eat any more. If you eat any more, you will be doomed."

Afterwards, he put the human-shaped elixir of immortality back into the coffin of life, and then took back the Taoist Palace Immortal Tree.

When the Taoist Palace Immortal Tree flew back to Li Zhi's Taoist Palace, the six fruits on it fell off instantly.

Li Zhi quickly sealed them with the divine liquid that was infused with immortal spirit.

After sealing them, they look like six elixir fruits.

Then, Li Zhi woke up Li Xian'er and Jin Ming and said, "Xian'er, Ming'er, wake up quickly, it's time for us to leave."

The two people who woke up from a deep state of enlightenment had no idea how much time had passed.

"Dad, why are you leaving just at the beginning?" Li Xianer asked in a daze.

"Master, I feel that my blood seems to have undergone a miraculous transformation. Has a long time passed?" Jin Ming asked.

A strong bloodline indeed requires a good natural environment to cultivate.

Over the past twenty years, Jin Ming, who was in the process of enlightenment, had been forced to refine no less than three hundred immortal spirits.

The powerful bloodline nourished by the rich immortal substance naturally activated some special racial talents that belonged to the blood of ultimate strength.

Afterwards, Li Zhi put away the formation and disappeared directly from the underground space with Li Xian'er and Jin Ming.

When they reappeared, they appeared outside the domain, deep in the starry sky.

Twenty years of deep enlightenment has allowed their practice to advance by leaps and bounds again.

Now that he has woken up, his Taoism will soon transform into realm and cultivation. If he moves his magic power a little, a thunder disaster will come.
