Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 414 Returning from the Tribulation
The sea was surging, the black waves were surging, the wind was strong and the waves were high in the deep North Sea, and the sky and the earth were dark.

Above the sky, the calamity clouds were thick and the thunder dragons were roaring, giving people a feeling of suffocation and fear.

Within the Seven Star Dojo, seven divine lights shot up into the sky in the direction of the Big Dipper, forming a colorful canopy above the sky that covered an area of ​​a thousand miles, isolating all the calamity clouds in the sky from outside.

Inside the Taoist temple, almost all the disciples walked out of their caves and looked at the calamity clouds in the sky with worried expressions on their faces.

On top of the seven sacred mountains, Li Zhi's four maids personally presided over the formation to protect the temple from being damaged by the heavenly calamity.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, a group of masters from all over Ziwei, hidden in the sea fog, looked at the strange sight above the fairy island from afar, and all showed surprised expressions.

"Is there someone on that island refining an astonishing elixir? Why is there such a calamity cloud?" An ancient saint from the Ziwei Sect said in surprise after seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky. He is an alchemist who is proficient in alchemy and is most sensitive to this kind of strange phenomenon.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this really the thunder tribulation brought about by the upcoming birth of the divine elixir, and not the heavenly punishment caused by the birth of an evildoer?" Another ancient saint asked with some confusion.

"There is absolutely no mistake. This is a heavenly tribulation phenomenon that can only be caused by someone smelting a world-shaking elixir. It is not caused by the birth of a peerless evildoer or someone practicing magic. This kind of thunder tribulation is recorded in various alchemy classics. It is an extremely rare heavenly tribulation.

Although refining ordinary divine pills may be accompanied by strange phenomena and occasionally attract thunder disasters, it will not trigger this kind of disaster cloud similar to heavenly punishment. Only the legendary smelting of the great medicine of the world that is not tolerated by heaven and earth will attract the test of heavenly punishment.

According to the records in the Danjing, in the mythological era, the Lord of Heaven used several immortal medicines to refine the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, which once caused a shocking heavenly calamity comparable to the great emperor's enlightenment calamity. The Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill that was finally refined has magical effects and can even allow the great emperor to live another life. It can even allow those forbidden area supremes who once cut off their own imperial throne to continue their peak emperor life for thousands of years.

As for other magical pills, as long as they can bring about the baptism of heavenly tribulation after being refined, any pill that can survive the heavenly tribulation can make the medicinal properties communicate with spirits, thus deriving incredible magical effects, which is the opportunity pursued by all alchemists. "

When the ancient saint from the great sect that was proficient in alchemy and medicine preparation finished speaking, excitement showed in the eyes of the others.

"It seems that I have waited for the right time. Maybe inside that Seven Star Supreme Dojo, there are elixirs and medicines that can help us advance our cultivation by leaps and bounds." Another ancient saint laughed.

“In order to refine an elixir that can trigger a heavenly thunder punishment of such a massive scale, the raw materials for the elixir alone must be true ancient medicine kings with a medicine age of more than 80,000 years, or even semi-divine medicines with a medicine age of more than 100,000 years. This Seven-Star Supreme Dojo definitely has amazing ancient medicines, even semi-divine medicines.” The ancient sage Sun Tong said with certainty.

"Then what are we waiting for. Let's work together and break into this temple first." An ancient saint in armor immediately had a spear emitting a strong murderous aura in his hand, and he said impatiently.

"Friend Niu, wait a minute." The ancient sage Sun Tong hurriedly stopped the man.

"Friend Sun, what are you doing?" said the ancient sage who was stopped with an unhappy look on his face.

"If you don't want to be a scapegoat, then I have nothing to say." Sun Tong shrugged and said indifferently.

"Niu Ben, be patient and wait for Sun Tong to finish speaking." One of the four leading saint kings spoke at this time.

"In order to ensure that the elixir can successfully pass the tribulation, the alchemist will often prepare substitutes for the tribulation, and sometimes even use the original spirit of a saint to pass the tribulation on behalf of the elixir. It can even be said that the birth of every amazing elixir is exchanged for the lives of other saints. Unless the alchemist is extremely powerful and can resolve the thunder punishment by himself. Otherwise, in order to ensure the success rate, they will often prepare substitutes for the tribulation. If Brother Niu goes there now, it will be no different from jumping out to die himself." Sun Tong explained to everyone.

Although everyone was jealous, they stopped acting impulsively and continued to hide in the sea fog, waiting for the heavenly punishment to dissipate.

After a long time, the divine thunder of heavenly punishment above the Taoist temple accumulated more and more, and even began to attack the mountain barrier. However, the colorful barrier was extremely strong, and the thunder tribulation could not break its defense at all. It even had the function of melting and dissolving the thunder punishment, which made everyone shudder with fear.

Fortunately, they did not rush in to attack rashly. With this level of protective power, I'm afraid even the Great Sage might not be able to break through it.

"Senior Lei, I wonder what level of defense this dojo has? Has it surpassed the Great Saint Formation, or the Quasi-Emperor Formation?" After seeing the strong defense of the dojo, a young saint asked a sturdy old man in the crowd. This old man was one of the four saint kings on this trip. He was also an old senior who was proficient in formations and had already reached the master level of formations.

"The Secret of Combining Words, the mountain protection formation actually contains the essence of the legendary Secret of Combining Words. What is the origin of the people in this Taoist temple?" In the eyes of Saint King Lei Hong, mysterious runes of the Great Dao shone, as if they were a kind of heavenly eye that could see the formation, allowing him to see the direction of the formation pattern inside the formation. After seeing the colorful canopy formed by the seven-colored divine light, he was shocked.

Then, Saint King Lei Hong turned his head and said to an old demon with a pair of dragon horns on his forehead, "Fellow Daoist Jin Jiao, I wonder if you encountered the Great Sage when the North Sea demons clashed with the cultivators of the Seven Star Supreme Dao Field?"

"I, the North Sea Demon Clan, have never sensed the presence of the Great Sage in that Taoist temple. However, the defense of that Taoist temple is extraordinary. I have sent many king-level demons to test that Taoist temple, and without exception, they were all killed by the cultivators in the Taoist temple. The heritage of this Taoist temple is not weak, and the cultivators inside have mastered many powerful secret techniques." said the Golden Dragon Saint King.

The purpose of this cooperation with Luzhou Sect is to destroy the Seven Star Supreme Dojo.

The Seven Star Supreme Dojo stands deep in the North Sea, seriously interfering with the growth of their North Sea demon clan.

Even the monks in the temple would compete with them for the cultivation resources in the sea.

In the past two hundred years, several sea monsters at the level of holy beasts have been hunted down by Li Xianer and Jin Ming in the North Sea.

Then they made the flesh and blood of the sacred beast into delicious food and ate it.

This is also one of the important reasons why the Golden Dragon Saint King joined hands with the Luzhou Sect to eradicate the Seven Stars Dojo.

In the North Sea, the original power structure was that the demon race was dominant, and the major human sects did not interfere in the affairs of the North Sea at all. However, ever since the Seven Star Supreme Dojo settled in the North Sea, they became prey that were killed at will.

Although there is an ancestor Kunpeng in the North Sea who has achieved great cultivation and has long been promoted to the realm of great sage.

Unfortunately, the old ancestor Kunpeng has been in seclusion for many years, and they, the North Sea monsters, have no idea where the old ancestor Kunpeng is in seclusion.

The Golden Dragon Saint King and Jin Ming once had a brief fight, but he was defeated in one move. If he had not escaped quickly, he would probably have been slaughtered and cooked into soup like the Dragon Turtle Demon Saint who traveled with him that year.

Of course, there is no need to tell outsiders about this kind of thing.

Moreover, he was the one who spread the news that the Eye of the North Sea possessed the supreme treasure of the Human Emperor and the Fusang Sacred Tree.

That year, when the eye of the North Sea exploded and the coffin of the Sun Saint Emperor flew out, he had sensed the breath of the Fusang sacred tree in the small world inside the eye of the sea.

He also tried to sneak into the Sea Eye to look for the whereabouts of the Fusang Sacred Tree after the sarcophagus of the Sun Emperor flew back to the Sea Eye, but he could not find the entrance.

Moreover, after years of investigation and analysis, he strongly suspected that the owner of the Seven Star Dojo who placed it near the Sea Eye knew the way to the North Sea Eye.

"The formation in the dojo has good defense. If you want to break it, it will probably take some effort. Fellow Taoists, you may want to familiarize yourself with the means of breaking it first. When the time comes, while they are celebrating the completion of the divine pill and are on guard, we will work together to break through the dojo's mountain protection formation in one fell swoop."

After everyone discussed for a long time, King Lei Hong decided on the method and means of attacking the dojo and assigned tasks to everyone.

This wait lasted for more than half a month, and the calamity clouds and divine thunder above the Taoist temple lasted for a full half month.

This makes those hidden in the sea of ​​fog even more excited to see what kind of astonishing elixir is being refined in the dojo.

They could never have imagined that the reason for the pill tribulation and thunder punishment was not because someone was refining pills, but because someone was practicing magical skills.

The great method of reincarnation in the human world, during the process of reincarnation, is actually a process of alchemy that collects the great medicine of the human world and refines one's own essence.

It’s just that what is being refined is the “human pill”.

Using one's Taoism and magic power to forge a more solid foundation for the Great Dao is also a process of refining a heaven-defying elixir.

Almost all the essence of a powerful Saint King at the peak level is used to melt the great elixir of the world, which will naturally lead to strange phenomena.

The mana and life essence in the body of a Saint King at the peak level are so vast that being able to completely melt them within half an hour is already an astounding feat.

And there is the great sage Jin Ming to assist him.

If Li Xianer only relies on herself, this time will increase several times or even dozens of times.

It may take several years or even longer to complete this reincarnation process.

Compared with the previous three reincarnations, the difficulty has directly increased by an order of magnitude. It can be expected that the difficulty of Li Xianer's reincarnation in the human world will also increase by an order of magnitude in the future.

Just when Li Xian'er was in seclusion and the Ziwei group of saints were planning to launch a surprise attack on the temple.

Li Zhi, who had just come out from the place where the Holy Emperor was sleeping, was now sitting deep in the starry sky outside the Ziwei Domain, carefully comprehending the gains after overcoming the tribulation.

After two hundred years of practice, his cultivation level had risen from the early stage of the fifth level of the Great Sage to the peak of the ninth level of the Great Sage.

The superposition of four levels of thunder tribulation made him struggle in the sea of ​​thunder for half a month.

Fortunately, after a hundred years of torture like slicing and slow slicing, his soul and body were honed to a level of toughness that seemed to surpass the limits of heaven and earth.

The thunder tribulation that lasted for more than half a month failed to hurt him at all.

Instead, it gave his newly acquired spiritual skills a thorough baptism.

Compared with his physical body and his soul, Li Zhida's toughness is still a little lacking.

If he could encounter the pool of laws formed by the mark left by Emperor Huang Tian in this world again, Li Zhi believed that if he put his avenue into the pool of laws for smelting, a transformation beyond imagination would definitely occur.

Of course, this is just Li Zhi's wishful thinking.

The Law Pool of Emperor Huang Tian is the embodiment of the Taoist fruit of Emperor Huang Tian.

Even if it is just the pool of laws formed by the immortal imprint he left in this world, for a strong man like Emperor Huang Tian, ​​who is now an Immortal Emperor and has even been promoted to the level of Dao Sacrifice, it is no different from his true Dao Fruit.

At that level, there is no difference between their true body and their incarnation.

And the mark they left behind is also a mark of that level.

It is almost impossible to surpass it.

Li Zhi was able to survive under the sword energy transformed by the mysterious laws of heaven and earth, and persisted for a hundred years, thanks to the Immortal Green Mountain that was born in the Wheel Sea and opposed to the Three-Layer World Destruction Altar.

Because of the Immortal Green Mountain in the Immortal Realm of Longevity that suppressed the Wheel of Life, he was able to survive even after being sliced ​​and diced by the sword energy that surpassed the limits of heaven and earth.

After a hundred years of tug-of-war, Li Zhi has discovered the essence of that sword energy, which is something transformed from the power of laws that transcend the limits of heaven and earth.

In terms of the level of laws, it did not exceed Li Zhi's level of cultivation at that time.

The sword energy of the law that erupted from his body was not the law of the quasi-emperor or the law of the emperor.

But it is the genuine Great Sage's law.

However, the Great Sage's Law contained in that sword energy surpassed the limits of heaven and earth.

Just like back then, when Emperor Huang Tian was practicing, he broke the limits of each realm before breaking through to the next realm.

This truth is also contained in the protective mark he left behind.

Invincible at the same level.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi's body and soul can subtly break the limits of the Great Sage allowed by heaven and earth.

However, Li Zhi did not know whether his body and soul had broken the limit of the great saint that the heaven and earth could accommodate, due to the lack of necessary reference objects.

After all, even though he broke the limit of the Great Sage, Li Zhi is still a Great Sage, not a Quasi-Emperor.

If the heaven and earth can support the birth of a powerful being at the quasi-emperor level, then naturally they can allow the existence of a great sage who can break the limits.

Because the Great Sage is not the true limit of what the heaven and earth can accommodate.

The Great Emperor is.

Only after surpassing the Great Emperor can a cultivator surpass the limits of what the heaven and earth can accommodate. At that time, the heavenly tribulation will no longer trouble the cultivator.

After gaining a lot of insights in the depths of the starry sky, Li Zhi planned to return to the ancient star Ziwei.

"I wonder what level Xian'er and Ming'er have reached in their cultivation now?" Li Zhi thought to himself.

When the path to becoming an immortal collapsed, many of the fortunes on the path to becoming an immortal were scattered throughout the universe. In addition, ten emperor-level strongmen transformed into Taoism and returned the original power that they had plundered from the universe.

In Li Zhi's opinion, this is the real reason why the golden age of blooming flowers can come.

If there had not been so many supreme emperors, the origin of heaven and earth would not have been able to bear it. Dozens of peerless powerful people of different levels of enlightenment were born in this life, and the Golden Age would not have truly arrived only after the dark turmoil.

Because he had killed enough forbidden zone supreme beings, Ye Fan's heavenly court was able to accumulate a large number of people who were about to achieve enlightenment.

Otherwise, the universe may not be able to bear such a burden.

In this way, Ye Fan’s heaven in the future will be an alternative life forbidden zone for all living beings in the world, except that it will not cause dark turmoil.

Apart from this, what is the difference between it and the life forbidden zone?
Thinking of this, Li Zhi shook his head. To him, those things were still too far away.

Now cultivation is important, let’s first find a way to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

It would be best if he could break the limits of heaven and earth and become a quasi-emperor before the age of five hundred.

He is now nearly four hundred and fifty years old.

He has less than fifty years to become a quasi-emperor.

He took a step forward and the stars moved. Endless galaxies retreated beside him, as if he was stepping on a channel of time and space. In a moment, he crossed the endless void and appeared directly above the North Sea of ​​Ziwei Ancient Star.

Then, he saw a group of people stealthily setting up formation outside the dojo, preparing to attack the dojo.

Looking into the Taoist temple again, Li Xian'er had turned into a mortal again.

Jin Ming and her four maids were celebrating Li Xian'er's successful reincarnation in Zixiao Palace, and had no idea that someone was setting up an array around the temple.

Looking at the killing formation they have arranged, it will definitely be broken unless there is a quasi-emperor formation protecting the Seven Star Dojo.

Li Zhi appeared beside the four Saint Kings who were in charge of the formation in a flash, and began to speak.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
