Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 419: Replacing Heaven's Will with Human Will
All the spirits in the world have complicated thoughts. It is too difficult to control them with Li Zhiyi's own strength alone.

The entire Luzhou has a territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles, and is inhabited by billions of living beings with all kinds of complicated thoughts. It is not easy to rule them all.

Fortunately, Li Zhi's great path originated from the instinct of life, and his pursuit of immortality allowed him to barely bring together the will of all spirits.

Even so, it seemed as if there were billions of creatures whispering constantly inside Li Zhi's immortal platform.

If Li Zhi's heart was not strong enough, his soul was not tough enough, and his body was not strong enough, he would probably have self-destructed after hearing the whispers from all spirits.

At this moment, the Jiutian Palace was quiet.

Not long after, the nine pictures engraved on the four walls and the floor of the dome seemed to come alive and turned into streams of light and returned to Li Zhi's body.

Li Zhi's aura also completed its sublimation at this moment, becoming extremely powerful.

It seemed as if both feet stepped onto the quasi-emperor stage at the same time.

However, there was no true aura of a quasi-emperor emanating from him, giving people a vague feeling.

How can the ordinary trials of this world compare to personally governing such a vast territory, not by force, but by governing with the Tao.

Although it was only a short period of fifty years, Li Zhi felt as if an endless number of years had passed.

What is time? Is it that indescribable long river?
Li Zhi feels that time is experience, and it is the growth after going through one thing after another.

Only when a person has experienced countless things can he say to himself that he has been baptized by the long river of time.

Otherwise, it would just be a blank.

If you have not experienced the love, hate, and emotions in this world, you cannot be said to have been baptized by this world.

Li Zhi even felt that if his soul was not liberated, it would sink into the abyss of the world of mortals.

Just as Li Zhi was adjusting his state and planning to officially use the Heart of All Spirits to replace the Heart of Heaven.

Outside the Jiutian Palace, Li Xianer and others looked at Li Zhi with solemn expressions.

The crowd was divided into two groups. One group was composed of cultivators from the Seven Stars Dojo, led by Li Xianer, and the other group was composed of powerful people from various races who later joined the Nine Heavens Kingdom and received official positions in the dynasty.

They stood clearly on both sides of the square in front of the Jiutian Temple.

Because those officials of the Nine Heavens Kingdom were all surrounded by a thick purple aura.

However, there was not a trace of purple energy on the monks of the Seven Stars Dojo.

Many people even speculated about Li Xian'er's true identity. The fact that Li Zhi's four maids stood behind her gave people countless associations.

In fifty years, Li Xianer has cultivated his skills back to the level of a saint.

The speed of her progress was so rapid that she was even confident that she could raise her cultivation to the peak of the Great Sage within two hundred years.

As the golden age approaches, it seems to be becoming easier and easier for all beings to practice.

There are more than one or two cultivators who can improve their cultivation to the Great Sage level after one or two hundred years, and there are even more than one or two in every life star field.

The speed at which the new generation of monks improve their cultivation has made many of the older monks who survived the dark turmoil shudder with fear.

Although many officials of the Jiutian Kingdom were puzzled about Li Xianer's identity.

But at this moment, the square in front of the palace was completely silent, and no one jumped out to cause trouble at this time.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the Jiutian Palace, and the entire palace exploded from the inside.

The roof and walls turned into dust in an instant, and then scattered all around like running water.

On the nine-story platform, Li Zhi was wearing a golden armor, and a purple-gold dragon was faintly swimming on the armor, giving people an incomparably noble aura.

It was as if a real emperor of heaven had come to the earth to lead all living beings to achieve immortality.

"Subjects! Give us your strength, and I will lead you to fight for our lives together."

Li Zhi's voice echoed in the hearts of all the creatures in the Nine Heavens Kingdom. They seemed to see a vast battle map slowly unfolding in their hearts.

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory!"

In the square in front of the Jiutian Temple, countless officials shouted loudly with excitement on their faces.

Then, billions of creatures in Luzhou roared together.

"Fight for your life, fight for your life!"

In an instant, the purple aura above the imperial capital began to roar and churn, as if the cries of all living beings had gathered into the sea of ​​purple clouds.

Li Zhi waved his hand and threw the supreme seal made from the fragments of the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal into the air, and began to swallow the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

At the same time, all the purple qi that Li Zhi had bestowed on officials was also taken back.

"boom!"

The sea of ​​thunder above the capital seemed to sense something and began to roar.

A terrifying pressure began to spread between heaven and earth.

Li Zhi did not hesitate at all. When the last wisp of purple air was absorbed by the Supreme Seal, his figure began to grow rapidly.

Soon it turned into a terrifying giant over ten thousand feet tall.

"From today on, my fate is in my own hands!"

Li Zhi roared towards the sky, letting out a soul-stirring cry.

"The position of heaven and earth, condense!"

As Li Zhi performed magic in the void, mysterious chains of order emerged in all the major cities in Luzhou.

The essence of heaven and earth also gathered towards Li Zhi at this moment.

At the same time, Li Zhi's hands began to flash endless mysterious runes.

Then, Li Zhi used his hands as a pen and began to write scriptures in the air.

"Boom!"

This action seemed to anger the heaven, and countless thunders bombarded Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi, who was protected by the telekinesis of all living beings, did not suffer any substantial harm.

Instead, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger.

A strange rhythm of Tao permeated between heaven and earth, as if all the laws of heaven and earth began to entangle and condense at this moment.

At the same time, a force of destiny emanated from the origin of heaven and earth.

"Crack!"

The thunderclouds in the sky suddenly turned into blood clouds, and red lightning began to bombard Li Zhi.

Then, a faint slaying platform began to emerge in the scarlet calamity clouds.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi immediately took out the Supreme Seal, intending to smash the red Immortal Execution Platform.

"boom!"

The Supreme Seal, with its great power of humanity, directly dispersed the calamity clouds in the sky.

Then, all the subjects of the Nine Heavens Kingdom suddenly felt a great sense of freedom and ease emanating from the depths of their souls.

But Li Zhi's hair stood on end, feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

Then he soared into the sky and came to the depths of the outer space of the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Soon, an extremely oppressive aura came back from outside the domain, pressing the creatures in Luzhou so hard that they almost felt their souls tremble.

"Return!"

Just when they thought that the world-destroying crisis was about to befall them again, Li Zhi's roar suddenly came from the depths of the outer space.

One after another, faith that seemed to carry the power of destiny returned to the bodies of all living beings.

At that moment, the whole Luzhou seemed to be covered with a mysterious rain of light.

Bathed in the rain of light, countless people felt that their lifespans were extended.

However, when the rain of light disappeared, the aura of Li Zhi's great Dao in the world of Luzhou also disappeared.

Moreover, the officials within the Nine Heavens Kingdom discovered that the vague connection they previously had with the Supreme Divine Seal had also disappeared.

It seemed that at this moment they were free again. "What's going on? Why did your majesty disperse those beliefs?"

"Can anyone see what trouble your majesty is in?"

Countless people looked up at the sky, but no matter whether they were ordinary saints or great saints, they could not see the area above the sky covered by chaotic energy.

There seemed to be a brutal battle taking place there.

From time to time, an extremely bloody smell emanated from the chaotic mist.

The roars of gods and demons never stopped.

It was as if Li Zhi was fighting a huge battle with a shocking opponent.

"The light of the sky!"

"Aura of destruction!"

From time to time, terrifying light emanated from the chaotic mist and was captured by some great sage-level powerful people.

But no one could see clearly what Li Zhi had experienced.

At this moment, Li Zhi seemed to have entered an ancient battlefield of all races. Countless races in the world appeared on the battlefield, and their only target was Li Zhi.

It seemed as if they represented all the spirits in the universe and wanted to kill him, the sky thief.

Li Zhi, with the Supreme Divine Seal on his head, began a frantic killing spree. Every living being he killed was devoured by the Supreme Divine Seal before it could even dissipate.

Then, a special mysterious racial pattern outlined by runes will appear on the Supreme Divine Seal.

It seemed as if the heavenly calamity would not stop until it had killed all races in the world.

One day, two days, three days, five days, ten days, half a month, three months, half a year, one year, three years.

The chaotic mist outside the domain existed for three full years.

No one knew what was going on inside. Even the Great Sage Kunpeng, who had rushed back to Ziwei from outside the domain and had stepped into the realm of quasi-emperor, could not see what was happening in that area shrouded in chaotic energy.

Finally, on the 1,296th day, chaos exploded.

A figure that looked like a mummy rushed out from the chaos, and a mysterious seal with thousands of holes followed him and flew towards the Ziwei Ancient Star.

At the same time, several huge hands emitting the aura of the Great Sage appeared outside the domain and grabbed the mummy.

However, before those big hands could touch the mummy, they were wiped out by a divine picture that appeared out of nowhere.

"Humph! If you dare to attack me again, I will kill you without mercy."

Li Xianer resurrected the Xiantian Bagua diagram, exuding a terrifying aura of a quasi-emperor. She stood directly outside the domain and scared away those great saints who were hiding in secret.

Then, she used the Xiantian Bagua diagram to collect Li Zhi, who had turned into a mummy.

Then it disappeared from outside the domain.

“Is this a failure or a success?”

"Is the Taoist of longevity dead or not?"

Countless people had distracting thoughts in their minds, and then more than ten great saints appeared together in the capital of the Kingdom of Nine Heavens.

However, at this moment, the former capital was already deserted.

Those officials who once served in the Kingdom of Nine Heavens are also missing.

It makes people feel a little bit baffling.

A few days later, deep in the North Sea, on a fairy island hidden in the Sky-deceiving Array, Li Zhi finally recovered a trace of his energy and blood.

The body is no longer in the previous state where all the energy has been drained.

"Dad, how do you feel?" Li Xian'er asked hurriedly when she saw Li Zhi waking up.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with regret, then he shook his head and said, "Failed. Using human hearts to replace heaven's heart, forcibly plundering the destiny of heaven from the universe to grant life to all living beings, which violated the original will of this world. And your father does not have the strength to suppress the entire universe, and ultimately failed to achieve the predetermined goal."

"Do you have any hidden dangers in your body?" Li Xianer asked.

Li Zhi said: "Not only is there no hidden danger, but my father and the myriad spirits transformed by the power of heaven and earth have been fighting for three years, killing almost all races in the entire universe. Instead, I have completely completed a sublimation like a rebirth. I have truly surpassed the limits of the Great Sage."

Li Zhi's current state is like those great emperors who have survived the great catastrophe of becoming a god and have the Seal of the Heart of Heaven on their bodies. He has truly surpassed the limits of heaven and earth.

The difference between Li Zhi and ordinary great sages at the peak level is like the difference between an emperor and an alternative enlightened person.

Although he surpassed the Great Sage in all aspects, Li Zhi was not a quasi-emperor and had not reached that level.

"Look at what your father has gained." Then, Li Zhi took out the Supreme Divine Seal and let Li Xianer observe.

The Supreme Divine Seal was covered with mysterious racial pictures, and each picture seemed to be a rune of the origin of the great way.

It’s just like the ancient immortal period, like the Map of All Spirits that comes with “The Original True Explanation”.

Li Xian'er only comprehended it for a moment before she said with surprise, "Dad, are these the marks of the origin of heaven and earth?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, these are all the marks of the origin of all things. And the path that my father has outlined is not a dead end, it's just that my father's cultivation is not enough. One day when my father's cultivation reaches the limit of heaven and earth, I will be able to reappear this path. It is not only used for assistance, but also a real evolutionary path."

At first, Li Zhi was only thinking about creating an artificial Heavenly Heart Seal, but in the process of fighting with the heaven and earth, he discovered a vague evolutionary path.

An evolutionary path that is completely different from the method of the five secret realms.

However, due to his current level of cultivation and knowledge, he is unable to develop this path into an evolutionary path that can be cultivated.

However, this also gave Li Zhi a glimmer of hope of truly becoming the Taoist Ancestor.

Even though the supreme divine seal in his hand did not have the ability to combine with the myriad ways of heaven and earth, it contained almost all the origins of the myriad ways, and could be called a monkey version of the Heavenly Heart Seal.

It has infinite benefits in assisting monks in their practice.

When the mind and the seal become one, one can enter a mysterious state of mind that is in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth.

Although the final result was far from what he had previously imagined about the different stages of existence of heaven and earth karma.

But Li Zhi understood a truth.

There is no fixed rule, and it is feasible to use the false to cultivate the true.

It’s just that it doesn’t work in this world.

Within this world, there is the mark of origin left by Emperor Huang Tian.

He wanted to change the original will of heaven and earth and forcibly insert a non-existent cultivation system between heaven and earth, but with his current level of cultivation and Taoism, he was still far from achieving that goal.

But Li Zhi was not disappointed.

On the contrary, I feel that these fifty years of exploration were well worth it.

It even felt more fulfilling than the four hundred years he had spent practicing before that.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that it was feasible to replace the will of heaven with the will of human heart.

It’s just that the requirements for the monks’ cultivation level are relatively high.

In the future, the mark of the Emperor of Heaven that Ye Fan will condense above all the laws of heaven and earth may be a means of replacing the heart of Heaven with the heart of man.

Li Zhi also discovered the strangeness of the power of all living beings.

If he had not returned all the power of faith to all living beings in time and severed the cause and effect between him and them, he would probably have fallen in the tug-of-war with the heaven and earth.

All living beings should not be bullied, and all living beings should not be disturbed.

Even if you want to live forever in this mortal world, you must remember that living beings are not available.

In other words, one can never rely on the power of other living beings to gain immortality.

That kind of immortality will eventually be taken back by all living beings.

It is just like those monks who rely on the power of heaven and earth to achieve immortality. As long as heaven and earth take back the destiny bestowed on all living beings, their lifespans will immediately be reduced to original value.

This tug-of-war made Li Zhiming realize a lot and gain a lot.

Half a year later, Li Zhi recovered completely.

Then Li Xianer was sent to the first level of the ancient road of the human race.

As for whether she would complete the trial along the ancient road of the human race, or switch to other ancient roads for the trial, that was not something Li Zhi cared about.
