Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 422 Kunpeng Appears in the Demon Cave

When you enter Kunpeng's nest, what comes into view is a giant nest built with thick Kun wood.

Moreover, the space inside the nest is extremely vast, as if entering a real small world.

Li Zhi walked in the small world with Huo Yan and saw one area after another separated by restrictions.

Perhaps because they came in late, they were not attacked by others.

All I saw was cultivators from hundreds of races fighting fiercely for spiritual medicines.

However, under Li Zhi's divine sense scan, there were almost no medicine king level medicines among those elixirs.

Even the Alchemy Pavilion, Weapon Refining Cave, Scripture Pavilion and other areas had long become empty, without even any abandoned items.

There are only some ancient monuments standing in various places of Kunpeng's Nest, on which are recorded some words that no one can recognize.

Li Zhi walked up to the ancient stele and memorized all the symbols.

Originally, he was planning to take away the ancient steles, but when he found out that the ancient steles were connected to the entire Kunpeng's Nest, he did not do it.

However, there are very few ancient steles with inscriptions, and it seems that someone has removed all the steles that could be moved.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in Kunpeng's nest that could attract Li Zhi.

Then, he walked towards an ancient cave deep in Kunpeng's nest which was filled with extremely evil energy.

According to Saint King Jin Jiao, it was there that ancestor Kunpeng gained amazing benefits and directly awakened his Kunpeng true blood.

When Li Zhi arrived at the Kunpeng Cave that King Jin Jiao mentioned, he felt the evil spirit rising into the sky.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon Saint King also arrived here in advance.

Seeing Li Zhi appear with Huo Yan, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Master, this is Kunpeng Cave. Legend has it that there are immortal marks left over from the ancient times in Kunpeng Cave. Those who are destined can obtain their inheritance."

Li Zhi looked up at the two weathered characters on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Demon Cave that Kunpeng used to suppress his enemies has become Kunpeng Cave after thousands of years. I have to say that time is a good thing and can change everything."

Afterwards, Li Zhi brought Huo Yan and Golden Dragon Saint King into Kunpeng Cave.

Apart from the strong evil spirit, the undying obsession of the ferocious beasts that were once suppressed by Kunpeng had long since dissipated, leaving only the black shadows of the beasts on the wall of the cave.

It seems as if it was copied artificially.

When the Golden Dragon Saint King saw those patterns, a look of desire appeared in his eyes.

The young Huoyan was also constantly looking for the shadow of the pure-blooded Flame Fish among those patterns.

It seemed that they all regarded the shadows left behind after the immortal marks of those heavenly beasts dissipated as the marks of the great way of inheritance.

However, Li Zhi had already seen that they were just some patterns and did not have any imprint of the aura of the Great Dao at all.

If the world had not changed, perhaps one could have grabbed some great runes from the immortal marks left behind by the ferocious beasts suppressed by Kunpeng. Unfortunately, the world had already undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the immortal marks would disappear one day.

There was no interruption to the Golden Dragon Saint King and Huo Yan’s efforts to search for inheritance on the marks left after the Immortal Marks dissipated.

Li Zhi walked to the deepest part of the Demon Cave, where there was a dried pool of blood.

This is also the place where Kunpeng left his true blood and inheritance.

The atmosphere in the dried blood pool was indeed different from other places used to suppress ferocious beasts. It was filled with a special aura.

The dark red stone seemed to have been infected by Kunpeng's true blood, and had an aura that was eternal and immortal.

Li Zhi saw many traces of knife and axe hacking on those dark red stones, as if some descendants wanted to smash the blood pool and move it away.

Unfortunately, the stone was too strong and they did not succeed.

Li Zhi sat directly in the dried blood pool, silently comprehending the remaining Kunpeng Avenue here.

After comprehending for a long time, he could still only sense some immortal aura, but could not sense any fluctuations of the great way.

Li Zhi didn't believe that the Kunpeng Avenue, which had left a legacy of the Avenue here, would be scattered so completely, so he summoned the only true god and the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Trees in the Dao Palace.

It’s a pity that even with the guidance of the one true God and the mysterious fairy tree, he still couldn’t comprehend the remaining Kunpeng Avenue here.

Just when Li Zhi was disappointed, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he took out a drop of Kunpeng's blood given by Gu Lin.

Although it is not the essence and blood left by the pure-blooded Kunpeng, it is also the essence and blood left by the mixed-blooded Kunpeng that has reached the quasi-emperor level.

After sacrificing Kunpeng's blood, Li Zhi began to chant the scriptures of "The Demon Summoning Sutra" in the dried blood pool.

As the scripture of the "Summoning Demon Sutra" sounded in the depths of the ancient cave,

Spots of spiritual light rose from various places in Kunpeng's nest and then flew towards the depths of the Demon Cave.

In the Demon Cave, the evil spirit of the undying obsession had long disappeared, and under the influence of the scriptures, terrifying phantoms of ferocious beasts appeared one after another.

The Golden Dragon Saint King and Huo Yan, who were searching for inheritance in the cave, were shocked when they saw the phantoms of ferocious beasts composed of evil spirits.

It was as if he saw the pure-blooded heavenly-level ferocious beasts that had disappeared in the long river of history.

And in the depths of the Demon-Transforming Cave, vast fluctuations of aura were heard, and the terrifying power of the moon and the sun rapidly gathered towards the depths of the Demon-Transforming Cave.

It was as if a terrifying Kunpeng had awakened from eternal slumber.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Golden Dragon Saint King immediately protected the flames and rushed out of the Demon Cave.

The terrifying aura flowing out of the Demon-Transforming Cave soon filled the entire small world formed by Kunpeng's Nest.

“Quasi-Emperor, how could there be a Quasi-Emperor in Kunpeng’s Nest? Didn’t they say that Kunpeng’s Nest does not allow Quasi-Emperor-level masters to enter?”

Many powerful people from major sects were extremely shocked after sensing the aura emanating from the Demon Transformation Cave.

Then, without even bothering to look for the treasures left behind by the former powerful man who died in Kunpeng's nest, he turned around and ran out of Kunpeng Cave.

They didn't want to die here and eventually become the source of treasures for future generations to come and hunt for.

Kunpeng's Nest had been emptied out long ago during the chaotic ancient times, but the reason why it was still so attractive every time it was opened in later generations was because every time it was opened, strong men would fall here.

Those powerful men who once fell have become a source of treasures for future generations to hunt for.

Someone once found the inheritance of a great sage who died accidentally in Kunpeng's nest, and someone else obtained a quasi-emperor's divine weapon.

There are also some areas with strong restrictions that have not been visited by anyone for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. It is possible that real holy medicines grow in them.

Once in the ancient times, someone found a nine-leaf star grass in Kunpeng Cave. Its medicinal effect even reached the level of a semi-divine medicine.

The terrifying quasi-emperor aura was spreading throughout Kunpeng's nest. All the cultivators felt a pressure coming from their souls, and many creatures even crawled directly on the ground.

"Is this... the aura of a pure-blooded Kun Peng? How is it possible for the aura of a pure-blooded Kun Peng to appear?"

After exiting the Demon-Transforming Cave, Saint King Golden Dragon looked at the ancient cave with a look of surprise and doubt. The evil spirit in the cave seemed to have come back to life. The purity of the aura was far beyond the aura of Kunpeng that he sensed from Ancestor Kunpeng.

“Could it be that the descendants of the ancient immortal Kunpeng have been resurrected? I have obtained a record of Kunpeng’s nest in an ancient underwater cave before. The North Sea Kunpeng’s nest is not a cave left behind by a former imperial master, but the nest of the Ten Evil Kunpengs from the ancient immortal period. It is a nest left behind by a real immortal.” The young man Huo Yan also looked at the terrifying aura coming from the direction of the Demon Cave with anticipation.

“No, Kunpeng’s Nest opens once in a while. If there are any relics of ancient immortal bloodline left, they would have been discovered long ago and would not have remained until now. Could it be that the aura in the ancient cave is actually the breath emitted by the master when he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor level?” The Golden Dragon Saint King seemed to have thought of something and whispered to himself.

"Teacher is so powerful?" The young Huo Yan's eyes were full of surprise after hearing the whisper of the Golden Dragon Saint King. "You can worship the master as a teacher, even if you are only a registered disciple, it is an amazing fortune. You must not waste this opportunity. Do you know how many geniuses in the entire Ziwei Ancient Star want to worship the master as a teacher but cannot? The master's only direct disciple is now a super strong man at the level of a great saint. As a registered disciple, you must work hard and must not lose the master's face."

The Golden Dragon Saint King suddenly felt a little envious of this lucky young man who had transformed into a fire fish.

The Jiaolong clan has a huge influence in the North Sea and has many branches.

However, no young successor could catch Li Zhi's eye.

Back then, the Jiutian Kingdom ruled the entire Luzhou, and not a single young human genius was directly accepted as a disciple by Li Zhi just because he was valued by him.

Many geniuses felt very sorry.

At the same time, Li Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged in the dried blood pool, seemed to see a supreme Kunpeng being born in the ocean of Dao runes.

One after another, the mysterious runes of the Great Dao were flying, turning into rain of light, into Peng birds, and into Kun fish, soaring in the void.

At this moment, the heaven and earth roared, and the sound of Tao was endless, as if the world was created. Wisps of chaotic energy escaped from the dried blood pool, turning into the starry sea of ​​the universe, and into the heavens and myriad worlds, revolving around a Kunpeng, emitting the supreme sound of Tao that penetrated the ancient, present and future.

Finally, a golden-winged and black-backed Kunpeng stands tall in the universe. The four poles of heaven and earth, as well as the vast universe, are all born and move because of it.

A pair of golden eyes penetrate the past, present and future, as if containing the ups and downs of hundreds of generations and the waves of eternity.

Looking back again, the gold in Kunpeng's pupils faded and was dominated by black, as if there was a doomsday picture of the sun and the moon sinking, big stars falling, the galaxy collapsing, the heaven and earth returning to ruins, and chaos collapsing.

Li Zhi was extremely shocked. Is this Kunpeng, one of the ten evil spirits in ancient times?

Finally, the Kunpeng formed by the Dao runes turned into a Kunpeng Dao diagram and sank into the drop of Kunpeng's blood essence, giving that drop of blood essence a bit more of the true meaning of immortality.

"The devil calls on the eternity, the eternity calls on the devil, the ten evil Kunpengs appear!"

Following Li Zhi's loud roar, the drop of essence blood immediately began to grow, and eventually a terrifying blood-colored figure emitting a monstrous quasi-emperor aura appeared.

A blood-colored figure with a pair of golden roc wings on its back, flowing with the power of the yang.

Those eyes exuded a faint lunar power like a black hole, as if they were the original lunar sea eye within the universe and the galaxy.

The power of the moon and the sun gathered in one body without any conflict, which looked extremely terrifying.

It was as if there was a deeper power in his body that could easily control these two conflicting supreme divine powers, allowing Kunpeng to achieve true yin and yang harmony, rather than yin and yang harmony.

"Kunpeng's true body, disperse!"

After observing for a moment, Li Zhi directly reversed the scripture and let Kunpeng's true body dissipate.

Then a mysterious Kunpeng rune appeared in his heart. It seemed that as long as the rune was not destroyed, the next time he wanted to summon it, he could summon it successfully with just a thought.

As the true body of Kunpeng summoned by the "Demon Summoning Sutra" disappeared, the terrifying quasi-emperor aura that enveloped the entire Kunpeng's nest also disappeared.

Li Zhi was shocked as he comprehended the Kunpeng rune condensed from the laws of the Great Dao that appeared in the secret realm of Lunhai.

This "Demon Summoning Sutra" is too powerful!
If the "Summoning Demon Sutra" is so powerful, then how powerful would Emperor Huang Tian's "Transmutation and Self-Liberation Dharma" be?
The Immortal Emperor's scriptures are indeed not something that mortals can understand.

Li Zhi walked out of the stone chamber where the dried blood pool was located, and then appeared outside the Demon-Transforming Cave.

"Master, that quasi-emperor aura just now?"

After seeing Li Zhi return, the Golden Dragon Saint King hurried over and asked carefully.

"Now that we have settled our business here, let's go back to the temple," said Li Zhi.

The Golden Dragon Saint King did not dare to ask more questions, and then followed Li Zhi and left Kunpeng's Nest.

When they left, Kunpeng's Nest immediately erupted with a repulsive force, teleporting everyone out.

Then, amid the surging waves, the entire nest disappeared into the North Sea.

At the same time, the news that a Quasi-Emperor appeared in Kunpeng Nest also spread.

Soon, this news reached the ears of Kunpeng, who had just returned from outside the domain.

After thousands of years of hard practice, Ancestor Kunpeng, whose cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Sage, could not find a way to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level.

Now that he knew that the aura of a quasi-emperor had appeared in Kunpeng's nest, he became extremely jealous.

After inquiring from many sources, Patriarch Kunpeng came to Li Zhi's supreme Taoist temple and found the Golden Dragon Saint King.

"Ancestor, why are you here?" Seeing Ancestor Kunpeng suddenly appear, the Golden Dragon Saint King was extremely surprised. According to his understanding, Ancestor Kunpeng had stepped into the starry sky to travel after the dark turmoil was quelled, and should not be in the Ziwei Ancient Star.

"Xiao Jinzi, I heard that you were there when the aura of a quasi-emperor appeared in Kunpeng Cave? Can you tell us what you saw?" asked the ancestor Kunpeng.

"Disciple didn't see anything. Perhaps only the master knows what happened in Kunpeng Cave." The Golden Dragon Saint King replied.

"Take me to see the Taoist priest of longevity." Ancestor Kunpeng said without any doubt.

"Ancestor, the master has gone into seclusion and will not see outsiders for the time being." The Golden Dragon Saint King said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Huh? Even though I, the ancestor, came to see him in person, he can't come out of seclusion?" Ancestor Kunpeng said with some displeasure.

Ancestor Kunpeng didn't seem to take Li Zhi seriously.

After returning from the outer domain, he had heard about Li Zhi's strength, but he did not sense any Quasi-Emperor's aura in Li Zhi's dojo, and thought that Li Zhi's combat power that surpassed that of a great sage was due to the power of faith.

While traveling outside the domain, he also encountered some divine kingdoms founded by powerful monks.

With the help of the boundless power of faith, the Great Sage can indeed display the combat power of a quasi-emperor.

However, he looked down upon those heterodox methods. Ancestor Kunpeng, who practiced both the power of extreme yin and the power of extreme yang, had an ambition to achieve enlightenment.

After all, there is a long-standing legend on the ancient star Ziwei.

Taiyin and Sun, whichever is weak is stronger, Yin and Yang work together, and the world becomes emperor.

And he has already achieved the harmony of yin and yang. Once his cultivation breaks through to the quasi-emperor realm, his strength will undergo a complete transformation.

He will become more than ten times stronger than he is now, and much stronger than the ordinary quasi-emperor.

Ancestor Kunpeng has this kind of confidence.

However, bloodline is both his key to success and his failure. Kunpeng's bloodline enables him to control the power of extreme yin and extreme yang, but it has stuck him at the threshold of quasi-emperor for thousands of years, leaving him with no hope of any breakthrough.

Even if the suppression of heaven and earth disappeared and others began to advance by leaps and bounds, he was still stuck at the peak of the Great Sage and could not make any progress.

As time passed, as he witnessed the younger generation of peerless geniuses gradually grow to the peak of the Great Sage in the starry sky, Ancestor Kunpeng became more and more anxious.

After sensing that the True Blood Talisman he bestowed upon the Holy King Golden Dragon was triggered, he realized that Kunpeng's Nest had opened again.

I originally planned to return to Ziwei immediately and then go to Kunpeng's nest to look for an opportunity for a breakthrough.

But we encountered some troubles on the way and were delayed for some time.

When he returned to the ancient star Ziwei, Kunpeng's nest had disappeared again.

Hence the above scene.
