Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 430: Dragon Girl Withdraws

"Extreme weapons are indeed beyond the standard and cannot be measured by common sense."

The fact that he fought with the self-revived Wan Longling without sustaining any damage did not make Li Zhi feel proud. Instead, he began to re-examine his own practice.

Under normal circumstances, even a chaotic body of the fifth level of the Quasi-Emperor cannot withstand the power of an ultimate weapon.

If Li Zhi had not mobilized almost all the fragments of the Imperial Law in his body to help him weaken the Imperial Law on the Wanlong Bell, he would probably have been half-crippled if not dead after that punch.

Although, even the Great Sage holding the imperial weapon could not compete with the real quasi-emperor.

But the prerequisite is that the quasi-emperor does not go head-on with the extreme emperor's soldiers.

Although the revived ultimate weapon is not as powerful as the one used by the true Supreme Emperor, it is not something that a Quasi-Emperor can resist with his physical body. Even the top geniuses must reach the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, or even the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, to do this.

The greater probability is that even if one reaches the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, one will not be able to withstand the attack of a revived ultimate weapon with bare hands.

Li Zhi had previously successfully melted the eleven kinds of imperial laws he had captured on the road to becoming an immortal, as well as a large number of fragments of the laws of the immortal realm, into his body, which looked extremely incredible.

In fact, those imperial laws are not complete, they are made up of pieces of fragments. If they are complete imperial laws, I am afraid that even if the immortal energy contains more immortal substances, it will be of no use.

Therefore, the power of those fragments of laws is far less powerful than the complete imperial laws contained in the ultimate weapons.

After becoming a quasi-emperor, in less than sixty years, Li Zhi's cultivation soared from the first level of quasi-emperor to the fifth level of quasi-emperor. This breakthrough speed was even faster than his breakthrough speed when he was at the great sage level.

His cultivation level soared in a short period of time. Looking at the entire universe, except for those self-proclaimed veteran quasi-emperors, he had an illusion in his heart that he was the number one genius in the world.

Whether it is Taichu, Emperor, Shengti, Yaoguang and others, their cultivation is far inferior to Li Zhi in this era.

This absolute self-confidence derived from his cultivation also subtly influenced Li Zhi's style of doing things, making him feel a little inflated.

As a result, the previous cautious behavior was lost.

Originally, they set out from Beidou and headed for the ancestral star of the Ten Thousand Dragons to look for the Dragon Girl. They planned to use reason and emotion to persuade the Dragon Girl to put safety first after finding her.

However, after arriving at this battlefield of the emperor's sons, he looked around and found that no son of the great emperor could pose a threat to him, which made his heart extremely inflated.

Even when he had no imperial soldiers to protect him, he dared to confront the real ultimate imperial soldiers head-on.

However, this collision also woke Li Zhi up and popped the balloon in his heart.

At this moment, he is far from reaching the state where he can act recklessly, and there is also the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone who is always paying attention to his movements.

It was undoubtedly a mistake to show off one's abilities in such a blatant manner, even to the point of fighting against the imperial soldiers with bare hands and almost exposing one's own original aura.

This kind of mistake would never happen to Gou Sheng Li Changshou.

Li Zhi couldn't help but start reflecting on what he had done since leaving Ziwei.

When he first came to Beidou, he named his Taoist name "Changshou", which was not without learning the meaning of Gou Sheng, that is, to regard "stability" as the main principle.

Even if one has 100% strength, he would only reveal 1%, or even 0.1%, and he would constantly hone his skills, constantly cutting himself, and eventually cultivate a heaven-defying path.

Li Zhi should have practiced this path from beginning to end, but unfortunately he only truly practiced it when he reached the Great Sage realm.

In this world, there are countless warlike monks, and there is also a constant stream of emperors who are the only ones in the world.

But has anyone ever become an immortal in the mortal world just because of his invincible fighting power?
With a few exceptions, most emperors died of old age.

Even Lingbao Tianzun, who was rumored to have killed immortals, has passed away in the long river of time.

Even the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, these supreme beings who had achieved immortality in the mortal world, died in the end because they had killed too much and accumulated too much mortal karma.

On the contrary, it was Duan De and Shen Huang, determined seekers of truth whose talents and fighting abilities were not evident to the world, who eventually not only found their way to immortality in the mortal world, but also lived beyond eternity.

Li Zhi asked himself, is he really stronger now than those former supreme emperors at this level?
I'm afraid I'm not necessarily better than others. How can the cultivation accumulated over sixty years be comparable to the cultivation accumulated over three or four hundred years by others?

In the realm of the Great Sage, Li Zhi has advanced half a realm further than others. Is he satisfied?

No, this is just the beginning.

He must take one step further than the former emperors in his cultivation in every secret realm, only then can he have a chance to break free from the helpless choices made by the former emperors and emperors after they grew old and weak.

Li Zhi was never naive enough to think that those former ancient supreme emperors were willing to lie dormant in the forbidden zone of life.

If they have any choice, they will not choose to kill themselves and then seal themselves.

Entering the forbidden zone of life and lying dormant is nothing but a helpless consequence of being unable to achieve immortality.

When Beidou's road to immortality was opened, a supreme being sighed, "Listen to my funeral song on the road to immortality", which expressed the endless sadness and helplessness of being a supreme being of the imperial way but unable to see the road to immortality.

If it were the chaotic ancient times, although the supreme being at that time would not be able to become an immortal, he would not be helpless because of his short lifespan.

Even if the supreme beings at that time failed to become immortals in the end, or even died when they tried to become immortals, they still died heroically. If the supreme beings who are now dormant in the forbidden zone of life were allowed to try to become immortals in the chaotic ancient times, I am afraid they would rush to die one after another, and even enjoy it.

Just like the choice of the Supreme Gate of the Three Thousand Dao States in the chaotic ancient times, even if Mo Zun, Ye Qianyu, Mo Wudao and others failed to become immortals in the end, their lives were not in vain.

Because their failure did not cut off the hope of future generations.

However, the supreme emperors today can no longer see the hope of becoming immortals.

If Li Zhi's heart becomes inflated, which leads to a change in his character, and he pursues invincibility throughout his life, or even attains enlightenment and becomes an emperor, he may become one of those who see no hope in the future.

What Li Zhi relies on is not the unreasonable "system" plug-in, but only the secret method of "Stealing the Secrets of Heaven" and the memories of his past life, and of course this body that has undergone a mutation for some unknown reason.

However, the memories of past lives can help people achieve enlightenment in other worlds where there are obvious cheats, but not in this world.

Because in this world, whether you can become an immortal depends entirely on yourself.

There is not even a chance to find a breakthrough in the origin of heaven and earth.

Because in this universe, there is no great way to the level of immortals.

Even if he tried to repeat Ye Fan's path to enlightenment, there was a high probability that he would die in the dark turmoil.

If he had not participated in the dark turmoil, Ye Fan's path to enlightenment would have been no different from his previous path to becoming a great saint.

It is a problem to truly achieve enlightenment and become an emperor.

The reason why Ye Fan truly had the qualifications to surpass the limits of the Holy Body and eventually break through the myriad laws of heaven and earth to become an emperor was precisely because of that dark turmoil that was certain to lead to his death.

The fusion of the essence of two fully accomplished holy bodies, as well as countless imperial weapons and the laws of the Supreme Emperor, and the successful survival, this is the real source that established Ye Fan's qualifications to become a Heavenly Emperor and enabled him to surpass the upper limit of the holy bodies of all generations.

Of course, if one wants to practice immortality in this world, there is more than one way to go, which is to leave this universe and go to the fairyland to practice.

However, without sufficient support from Taoism, it is impossible to cross the road to immortality that leads to the fairyland.

Whether it is Beidou’s path to immortality or Feixianxing’s path to immortality.

Without alternative cultivation and strength, it is impossible to embark on the path to immortality.

But even if one's cultivation level is high enough, one will be blocked outside the fairyland by the laws of the fairyland.

Therefore, entering the fairyland by taking the path to becoming an immortal is obviously not a feasible option.

Unless they have the same opportunity as Ye Fan’s wife and daughter, someone will block the dangers on the road to becoming an immortal for them.

Apart from this, if one wants to live forever, one can only struggle in the world of mortals.

Of course, there are two alternative paths to immortality.

The first is to become a slave under the ruthless emperor, and the second is to become a member of Ye Fan’s heavenly court.

At the end of the finale, everyone will be brought into the fairyland.

However, the causes and effects of those two kinds of becoming immortals need to be repaid, and even one's life may not be enough to repay them.

And once you choose those two paths to immortality, you will say goodbye to the Immortal Emperor forever.

It is even hard to say whether one can become the Taoist Patriarch.

There is a high probability that he won’t even be able to become an Immortal King.

Not to mention the realm of sacrifice above the Immortal Emperor, and the realm of transcendence above the real realm of sacrifice.

If you rely on others to keep you alive, there is no future for you in this world.

It will be impossible to surpass Emperor Ye Tian forever, and even getting close to Emperor Ye Tian is impossible.

While recuperating from his injuries, Li Zhi reflected on his previous reckless behavior.

At the same time, he replanned his own path of practice.

After the adjustments, Li Zhi became cautiously optimistic about his future practice.

Today, he is far from reaching the level where he can decide the fate of others at will.

Even though he had good intentions and wanted to save the Dragon Girl, his methods were too brutal.

It was as if he had truly become the man of Zhatian, possessed the soul of Zhatian, and began to believe that the bigger the fist, the more right it is.

However, those who took the idea that the bigger the fist, the more reasonable it is have now mostly cut themselves in half and are now hiding in the forbidden zone of life.

This is enough to show that if you want to live forever, you can't just rely on your fists.

Even if one possesses unparalleled combat power that can overwhelm all living things in the universe, this combat power is only a temporary glory without the blessing of the immortal fruit.

There will be a day when they will grow old and weak. The combat power of the Forbidden Zone Supreme is probably far from that of their peak period of vigorous energy and blood.

It is like an adult, the power he possesses in his prime is definitely greater than the power he possesses in his old age.

Even the gap is doubled.

The same is true for those great emperors who have not escaped the influence of their lifespan. Their fighting power will weaken as they age.

The combat power of the forbidden zone supremes today is far inferior to that in their peak period.

Just as Li Zhi was reflecting on himself, the Dragon Girl returned to the Dragon Cave with a grim look on her face.

The old dragon that followed her said, "Princess, there is a quasi-emperor watching you in secret. Shouldn't this battle end early?"

"If you block my path, I will kill you with my sword one day."

Although she spoke toughly, the dragon girl felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Then, she thought of her unborn child and felt that if she continued to hold on, she would most likely fall on the battlefield.

She couldn't die in battle yet.

Without her protection, the entire Wanlong clan might not be able to protect the safety of her child.

Only if she survives will she have the opportunity to successfully improve her cultivation to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

Even though he no longer has the chance to achieve enlightenment, with his ninth-level quasi-emperor cultivation and the protection of ultimate weapons, he is still able to protect his children from threats in this great world.

If she died in battle too early, there would probably not be another quasi-emperor born in the Wanlong clan in this life.

Whether it is the golden age or the ordinary years of cultivation, it is extremely difficult to become a quasi-emperor.

Only they, the descendants of the ancient emperor, can use the power of the imperial laws in their bodies to successfully grow to the ninth level of the quasi-emperor realm, or even reach another level of enlightenment.

Apart from this, it is extremely difficult for others to become a quasi-emperor.

In the entire universe, the top 100 races may not be able to produce a quasi-emperor level strongman in every generation and every clan.

After the Green Emperor passed away, the number of quasi-emperors born in the entire universe did not exceed twenty in total.

As for those quasi-emperors of the time, during the dark turmoil of that year, except for a few who escaped the hunt, most of them died in battle.

It is precisely because those quasi-emperors died in battle that enough space was made for today's geniuses to grow.

After weighing it for a long time, the Dragon Girl finally made up her mind to withdraw from the battlefield with the Emperor's son and avoid the spotlight temporarily.

The departure of the Dragon Girl made the other princes feel complicated.

Originally, everyone fought against each other in order to hone their strongest foundation and compete for the title of Emperor.

Everyone's level of cultivation is similar, and it will take many years to determine who is superior and who is inferior.

However, when Li Zhi, a mysterious man who was at the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor realm, suddenly jumped out to "attack" the Dragon Girl, and even fought a hard punch with the revived imperial magic weapon Wanlong Bell without dying, they felt boundless pressure.

Even in the hearts of some ancient princes, they felt that the road to becoming an emperor ahead was becoming extremely dim.

The cultivation level of the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor is not so easy to catch up with.

Li Zhi's life breath was unusually strong and he looked very young. It was obvious at first glance that he was not the old senior who was sealed in the divine source and had a short lifespan in this life.

What's more, the fact that Li Zhi was able to resist the imperial army and survive was what terrified them.

By dealing with such unreasonable people, they felt the pressure to achieve enlightenment doubled.

The pressure from the outside world, even from the Emperor of the Divine Court, who was said to be a miraculous person about to achieve enlightenment, was not as great as the pressure from Li Zhi.

The other party did not achieve enlightenment three hundred years ago, and now three hundred years have passed, and he still has not achieved enlightenment. It is obvious that his talent has reached the end.

These ancient princes judged that it would be impossible for the Emperor of the Divine Court to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.

This is not only their own judgment, but also the judgment of many forbidden zone supreme masters.

After the Dragon Girl left, Li Zhi also disappeared from the Emperor's battlefield.

However, Li Zhi suddenly showed up and resisted the influence of the Jidao Emperor's soldiers. He did not disappear even after several years.

Because of the appearance of Li Zhi, the ancient princes who were fighting on the battlefield of the emperor's sons worked harder.

The fighting between them became more and more intense.

Several years later, on the battlefield of the Imperial Sons, the Saint Prince was the first to kill his opponent and completed a transformation.

The changes in the Emperor's battlefield have nothing to do with Li Zhi.

After withdrawing from the battle, the Dragon Girl returned to the Ancient Star of Ten Thousand Dragons.

And Li Zhi followed.

This ancient life planet has arrangements made by the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons, which can allow the Ten Thousand Dragon Bell to unleash even stronger combat power.

This time Li Zhi did not act rashly, but quietly delivered a letter to the Dragon Girl.

"Do you want to become an immortal? If so, come out and see me."

This is the message Li Zhi wrote to Long Nu in the letter.

"hateful!"

When the dragon girl saw the familiar scent on the letter, she suddenly became angry.

But since Li Zhi had followed her to her doorstep, she had to deal with the matter.

Then the Dragon Girl left Wanlong Ancient Star alone and saw Li Zhi, who was brewing tea by the stove on an asteroid.

"What exactly are you going to do?" The dragon girl yelled at Li Zhi with a bad look on her face.

"I was inconsiderate enough on the battlefield of the Emperor's Son before. I'm here to apologize to you." Li Zhi hurriedly apologized to the Dragon Girl.

"who are you?"

Li Zhi's apology confused the Dragon Girl.

She had come to Li Zhi with the intention of dying, but she didn't expect this kind of scene.

"it's me."

Li Zhi officially revealed his true face in front of the Dragon Girl.

"It's you!"

The moment she saw Li Zhi’s true face, the Dragon Girl’s beautiful face was filled with shock, surprise, and anger.

"I originally wanted to talk to you on the Wanlong Ancient Star, but unfortunately you went to participate in the competition among the emperor's sons. So I had no choice but to use the same methods I used before to force you out of the battlefield." Li Zhi explained.

"Why do you treat me like this? You killed him back then. Isn't that enough?" The dragon girl was so angry that she was about to explode and asked loudly.

"He is me, and I am him. There has never been any so-called Golden Dragon Prince. It has always been me." While Li Zhi was speaking, the golden dragon in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm flew out again.

"You are not him, and you can't be him." The dragon girl suppressed the anger in her heart and shook her head firmly.

"Although the dragon body is dead, the true spirit remains unchanged, and I have buried my golden dragon body in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, to be nurtured by the laws of heaven and earth. One day, He will be resurrected." Li Zhi explained.

"Why do you want to block my path?" The dragon girl asked coldly after a long silence.

"No, I'm not trying to cut off your path, but I don't want to see you die. I don't want your child to be born without a mother in the future," said Li Zhi.

"What do you mean by this?" asked the Dragon Girl.

"If you believe me, when the road to immortality on Feixian Star opens in five hundred years, I will have a way to send you and your child to the fairyland." Li Zhi suddenly said.

Seeing that the Dragon Girl doubted his words, Li Zhi spoke again: "Don't doubt where I got the information from. Compared with the cultivation environment in the human world, the child can grow better in the fairyland, stimulate his blood potential, make rapid progress, and eventually become a true immortal. If he is allowed to grow up in the human world, his final achievements will not be much different from your father's, and he will not be able to escape the suffering of reincarnation after all."

Because Li Zhi knew that the more powerful the bloodline, the greater the consumption of external resources during the growth process.

Only by growing up in a world like the fairyland that is full of immortal substances and being nurtured with sufficient resources can the blood talent of a dragon child be truly realized.

"You may not believe me, but for the sake of the child, you'd better consider it. I have a secret method here that you can practice. It will be useful when you enter the fairyland."

Afterwards, Li Zhi taught the Dragon Girl the method of self-cutting to consolidate the foundation of Taoism from the "Great Method of Reincarnation in the World" created by Li Xian'er.

Although ordinary people cannot continue to reincarnate in the world like Li Xianer.

However, one can undergo a reincarnation in this world without any side effects, thereby reshaping the origin of one's life and the foundation of one's talents.

If one has the assistance of an imperial soldier in self-destruction, even a quasi-emperor can quickly become a more perfect mortal.

Then Li Zhi left.

He knew that the Dragon Girl had never liked him, but the dead "Golden Dragon Prince".

Looking at the empty tea table and the enlightenment tea that exuded the charm of Taoism, the Dragon Girl was confused for a moment.

In the end, she still took away the jar of enlightenment tea on the table, but slapped the tea table into ashes before leaving.
