Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 418 Opening up territories

The Jiutian Palace, facing south from the north, is solemn and dignified, with purple air floating around and bursts of fairy music.

After the masters of various sects entered the Jiutian Palace, they dared not even breathe heavily.

The hall is spacious, and the dome reflects the stars in the sky. Tens of thousands of bright stars are moving along mysterious paths, forming a mysterious star map.

It seems to be able to suck people's minds in, allowing them to glimpse the true mystery of the starry universe.

Standing under the star map, everyone had a vague feeling that their souls were unstable, as if their souls would be sucked out of the immortal platform at any time.

It seems that with the help of this star map, they can experience the deep experience of wandering in the universe in advance.

Every star seemed to be wrapped in a rich and mysterious purple aura, giving people a strange feeling of looking at the ancient Ziwei star from outside the domain. Everyone hurriedly calmed their minds and tried not to lose their composure.

With their eyes lowered, everyone was attracted by a picture carved on the floor of the hall.

The black and white yin and yang fish formed a Tai Chi diagram on the floor of the hall.

If you observe carefully, you can actually see the ultimate life essence and the ultimate death energy in the two Tai Chi diagrams, as if the diagram encompasses all the mysteries of life and death in the world.

Moreover, life and death were transforming back and forth in the two yin and yang eyes.

Just a divine picture seemed to be able to stir up the source of life in their bodies and dominate their sea of ​​suffering and wheel of life.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

He quickly lowered his eyes and saw a painting on the wall directly opposite him.

It was like a condensed version of the Nine Heavens Kingdom, with all the spirits of heaven and earth occupied by the Nine Heavens Kingdom reduced in proportion to that picture.

The surging atmosphere of the world occupies half of the map, which is almost entirely densely populated area.

Everyone had a gut feeling that once their bodies were invaded by the worldly energy in the picture, their spiritual progress would stop there and might even slowly regress until the sea of ​​suffering was closed and they would degenerate into mortals.

And in the sparsely populated mountains and forests in the picture, there are many fairyland places with fairy air.

Whether it is Nine Dragons Arching a Pearl, Phoenix Nirvana, or Ten Thousand Dragons Ascending to Heaven, etc., the mountains and rivers are all rare treasures that can give birth to the fortune of heaven and earth. However, in reality, there are definitely not so many terrifying terrains within the territory of Luzhou.

It seems as if they were artificially inlaid as embellishments on the map of Luzhou mountains and rivers.

But even so, everyone was attracted by this picture of the country and the people.

In the east of the hall, two pictures are hung on the wall.

The picture on the left is engraved with a real dragon killing an immortal. There are a few drops of immortal blood on the bloody dragon claws. On the broken battlefield, one headless immortal corpse after another lies on the ground, filled with a fierce murderous intent.

The picture on the right is a carving of a phoenix roaring to the sky. It shows a five-colored phoenix spreading its wings and soaring in the sky, howling towards the sky, as if it is going to fight against the enemy in the sky.

On the west wall of the main hall, there are two carvings full of the breath of creation: one is Chaos planting blue lotus, and the other is Pangu creating the world.

At this time, a clever person looked back at the two open doors.

Then I discovered that there were two patterns carved on each of the two extremely heavy doors.

On the left gate is carved a statue of an immortal king standing in the Ninth Heaven with the Chaos Bell on his head. On the right gate is carved a statue of a mysterious Taoist standing in front of a mysterious Taoist temple with the Nine-Layered Xuanhuang Pagoda on his head.

Moreover, there are no pillars in the hall. Apart from the murals and carvings, there is only a nine-story high platform under the picture of the country.

However, just those nine engravings had already given them a deep shock.

"My fellow Taoists, please concentrate your minds. The king will be here soon." Seeing everyone constantly observing the carvings, Meng Zhang, who led them into the hall, reminded them.

"What a powerful card! He actually made us wait for him." Many people murmured in their hearts.

Soon, they saw purple air gathering on the nine-story platform, and the entire hall was instantly filled with a strange fragrance, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal world.

It makes people feel relaxed physically and mentally when they smell it.

Then, Li Zhi, shrouded in purple mist, appeared in the hall.

"I am fully aware of your intentions. The Jiutian Kingdom will continue to expand its coverage. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be destroyed." Li Zhi's voice was flat and overbearing, as if they had to agree or disagree, and no doubts were allowed.

"Excuse me, senior, where are you from?" Seeing Li Zhi being so domineering and not showing his true face to others, everyone felt dissatisfied.

These people come from more than 80% of the super powers of Ziwei Ancient Star, and to a certain extent can represent the entire cultivation world of Ziwei Ancient Star.

"There are actually little mice hiding in the dark."

At this moment, Li Zhi's gaze suddenly looked outside.

Then he stretched out a big hand wrapped in rich purple air and grabbed in a certain direction outside the imperial capital.

"boom!"

Then, the terrifying aura fluctuations of the battle between the Great Sages came from the outside world.

Unfortunately, there was only one collision between heaven and earth, and the fighting spirit between the great saints disappeared.

Then, there was a flash of light, and two great saints with blood on their mouths, messy hair, and torn clothes appeared in the Jiutian Palace.

"Thank you for not killing us, senior." After seeing Li Zhi on the high platform, the two great saints did not even bother to tidy up their clothes and just bowed to Li Zhi.

"If you two fellow Taoists have anything to say, you may as well say it to me face to face. There is no need to hide in the dark. As we are both great saints, there is no need to call me senior. I am Li Zhi, and my Taoist name is Changshou." Li Zhi showed full respect to the two great saints.

After hearing this, the two great saints looked bitter and kept muttering in their hearts: "A great saint who almost has the fighting power of a quasi-emperor is not still a senior?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, please forgive me. We are not here to eavesdrop on your conversation with these juniors. We just came here to observe the mysterious purple aura here."

The two great saints were naturally the seniors invited by these people to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately, they all underestimated Li Zhi's true fighting ability.

Just a palm strike from the air was enough to knock them down without any chance of fighting back.

If Li Zhi had intended to kill them, they would have exploded into bloody mist after one move.

The fighting power displayed by Li Zhi made them feel as if they were facing a real quasi-emperor.

In the entire Ziwei ancient star, only the ancestor Kunpeng, who has not appeared in front of the public for many years, is suspected to have been promoted to the quasi-emperor.

As for the others who became saints before the changes in heaven and earth, most of them had their talents fully exchanged after entering the realm of great saints.

There is no sign of promotion to Quasi-Emperor at all.

Even after the changes in heaven and earth, the two of them had not yet reached the peak of the Great Sage level, and were only at the fifth or sixth level of the Great Sage level.

After hearing their lame explanation, Li Zhi had no intention of asking further questions.

Instead, he said, "I established this country not to compete with you fellow Taoists for the Ziwei Ancient Star, but I want to use it to perform magic. I hope you fellow Taoists will not hinder my plan, otherwise I don't mind massacring some holy places."

At this moment, Li Zhi had no intention of talking nonsense with them and directly stated his purpose.

Everyone then understood why Li Zhi's kingdom gave people a completely different feeling from other divine dynasties.

Afterwards, everyone promised not to disturb Li Zhi's performance.

After staying in the Jiutian Palace for less than a cup of tea, they left Li Zhi's kingdom under the leadership of the two great saints who were defeated by Li Zhi in one move.

After they left, everyone asked the two great saints questions one after another.

Finally, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up: "I know who that Li Zhi is?" "Who is he?" everyone asked.

"He is the extremely famous Taoist longevity master in the ancient Beidou Star. It was he who took back the seal of the Human Emperor of Taiyin from the hands of the Kunlun descendants." said the man.

"So it was him. He didn't die in the dark turmoil." Someone else remembered the two past events in which the supreme imperial soldiers revived to protect Ziwei.

I vaguely heard that during that battle, a mysterious man appeared beside the Sun Saint Emperor, collected the Saint Emperor's body, and then controlled two imperial artifacts to participate in the battle.

"Doesn't that mean that the seal of Emperor Taiyin and the Supreme Emperor Tower of Emperor Sun are now in his hands?" someone suddenly said.

Everyone felt jealous when they heard this.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. That longevity Taoist is someone you can never afford to offend." A great sage suddenly spoke up.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. Why would we provoke the Taoist of Longevity? I am planning to join the Nine Heavens Dynasty. We have the Supreme Emperor's soldiers to suppress our luck. The upper limit of the Nine Heavens Dynasty is extremely high. In this increasingly bright world, with the protection of the Emperor's soldiers, we can safely get through this golden age." Suddenly a wandering saint spoke up.

They all understood what the Golden Age meant to these saints who were not qualified enough.

This means that young geniuses can surpass these "old predecessors" in a very short period of time, and then become famous by stepping on their faces.

Even bathing in their blood and bones to show the peerless elegance of young people.

Moreover, the purple air in Li Zhi’s capital is too tempting and even has the ability to prolong life.

It is much safer to follow the forces established by such a super genius than to venture out into the world on their own.

"Seniors, what exactly is purple energy and why can it prolong life?" someone also asked the two great saints.

“We are not 100% sure what it is, but we can be sure that the purple air contains a strong power of faith,” a great sage replied.

It is well known that bathing in the power of faith can prolong one's lifespan.

Unfortunately, the power of faith is not so easy to enjoy. If you don’t have the correct method, you will be hurt by your faith if you are not careful.

Therefore, most forces do not collect faith.

Now, Li Zhi has collected a huge amount of power of faith and mastered new uses of the power of faith, which has given some people hope.

Afterwards, many independent saints and even saints from powerful forces openly joined Li Zhi's Nine Heavens Kingdom.

As the news that Li Zhi was a quasi-emperor spread, it also attracted a large number of middle and low-level cultivators from Ziwei to join.

Another ten years passed, and Li Zhi's Kingdom of Nine Heavens almost occupied half of Luzhou.

This made Yan Yixi and Li Tian, ​​who were determined to develop and expand the Heavenly Court in Ziwei, quite envious.

They worked hard for many years, only to allow the power of Heaven to take root in China.

They were even unable to completely drive away the hostile Divine Court army.

"Senior brother, should we go and ask Taoist Li for advice?" Li Tian asked.

"Let's forget it. Didn't Miss Xian'er say before that Taoist Li was practicing a stunning method when he founded the country? Let's wait until he succeeds before visiting him." Yan Yixi shook his head instinctively.

They wanted to defeat the Divine Court with their own strength.

There are many great saints in the heaven, but no one has been promoted to quasi-emperor yet.

Whether it is the Holy Prince, the Barbarian King Dongfang Ye, or the Demon Lord Pang Bo, although they are all top-level warriors at the Great Sage level, they are still far behind the real Quasi-Emperors.

However, Li Zhi already possesses the fighting power of a quasi-emperor.

This is comparable to the old Teng Snake that was killed by Ye Fan, Ji Zi, the Holy Prince and Hei Huang.

Although he has not entered the quasi-emperor realm, he possesses the combat power of a quasi-emperor.

Of course, Li Zhi did not really possess the combat power of a quasi-emperor, but he was much stronger than the other great saints, which made them mistakenly believe that Li Zhi was already a quasi-emperor.

At the same time, they also learned from Li Xianer that Ye Fan might not be dead.

It's just that he didn't return from injury.

After all, Li Zhi, who did not fight those supreme beings head-on, has disappeared for two hundred years.

Ye Fan’s injury must be more serious than Li Zhi’s.

Of course, Li Zhi did not see Ye Fan’s final outcome, so he naturally could not give them a definite answer.

Perhaps, after the only true path is opened, Ye Fan will be directly led to the Feixian battlefield by the crystal in front of the Emperor's Pass.

If you want to meet Ye Fan, in Li Zhi's words, you have to wait for the Imperial Gate in front of the only true road to open.

After receiving the news that there was a chance to find Ye Fan, Li Tian and Yan Yixi had already passed the news to everyone in the Heavenly Court who was in Tianzhi Village.

After receiving the news, Ye Fan's disciples Ye Tong, Hua Hua and others went to Diguan to investigate the situation.

However, the Imperial Pass has not been opened yet, so they did not find Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's name still appeared clearly on the crystal monument.

As time passed and the Golden Age gradually arrived, the names of hundreds of great saints have been recorded on the crystal monument.

Instead, the number is still increasing by double digits every year.

Someone has calculated that the number of great saints eligible to be nominated on the Crystal Monument in this life may be ten times, or even dozens of times, that of the past.

You can imagine how fierce the competition is.

There are even many people who are masters, apprentices, fathers and sons who all left their names on the crystal monument.

When the Jiutian Kingdom established by Li Zhi had been rooted in Luzhou for 30 years, the Jiutian Kingdom almost occupied the entire territory of Luzhou.

Except for a few top forces that temporarily closed the mountains and defended themselves, the entire world of Luzhou was filled with Li Zhi's great will.

Any outsider who steps into this kind of environment will be suppressed by Li Zhi's Dao realm, and will be able to exert less than 70% of their strength.

Many monks from major sects therefore chose to leave Luzhou temporarily.

Guanghan Palace, Taiyin Sect, Ice Demon Palace, North Sea Demon Clan and other major forces throughout Luzhou even sealed their mountain gates and dispersed their young disciples to practice in strongholds in other states.

Countless powerful people on the Ziwei Ancient Star are waiting for the day when Li Zhi finishes his performance.

This method of placing one's own great will above the will of heaven and earth shocked them inexplicably.

It’s just like in the legend, after the great emperor attained enlightenment, his one power suppressed all others.

The entire Luzhou territory, whether it is the laws of heaven and earth or the essence of mountains and rivers, seems to be controlled by Li Zhi's great will.

Another twenty years passed. Although he did not continue to expand his territory, Li Zhi did not give up his deeper control over the world.

I finally felt that I was unable to control such a vast universe.

It was as if if he continued to use his own way to force himself to control all the spirits in heaven and earth, even the ways of heaven and earth would cause his own way to collapse.

Li Zhi also understood that it was time to condense the karma of heaven and earth, which was the mark of the Great Dao.
