Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 433 Mortal Body vs Chaos Body

The quasi-emperor discussed the Tao, the stars moved, the void shattered, and blood splattered all over the world.

You punch me, I kick you, and finally the road collapses, the Qi and blood are broken, and only then can we tell who is stronger.

Well, this is the scene of a quasi-emperor discussing Taoism as imagined by ordinary people.

But the true quasi-emperor's discussion of the Dao is much simpler.

A cup of tea and a bowl of water, on the small tea table, the difference in quality is apparent in just a small space.

Even after determining who is better, they can still discuss the affairs of the Zhou Dynasty and comment on the heroes of the world in a friendly manner.

This is what really happened after Li Zhi and Yaoguang met.

However, Yaoguang, who was at a disadvantage in the discussion of Taoism, did not feel that he was really defeated. It was just that Li Zhi's Taoism was several levels higher than his at this time.

Chaos divine light flashed in Yaoguang's eyes, but he still couldn't see through the thick disguise on Li Zhi. Then he asked directly: "Master Li, can you explain to me what kind of physique you have? Why is the origin of life so strong that it faintly shows signs of surpassing the holy body?"

Previously, after passing the Imperial Pass, Yaoguang broke free from the shackles with the help of Ye Fan and entered the quasi-emperor realm. Naturally, he clearly felt the extraordinary and rich life source hidden in Ye Fan's body.

In the opinion of Yaoguang, who is extremely sensitive to various physical conditions, the thickness of Ye Fan's life origin has already surpassed the limit that a holy body should possess.

"Fellow Daoist Yaoguang, why do you ask this question when you already know the answer? Didn't I tell you all along that I am just an ordinary person?" Li Zhi was not worried at all that Yaoguang would be interested in his origin.

At this time, Li Zhi's life source had no other special attributes except that the quantity and quality far exceeded those of cultivators of the same level.

It has no effect on the evolution of Yaoguang's chaotic body.

"Master, why do you have to frame me? If I were really a mortal, how could I have achieved such amazing Taoist skills today?" Yaoguang obviously didn't believe what Li Zhi said.

"Fellow Daoist, you can evolve your own life source towards a chaotic body, so why can't I be a mortal body?" Li Zhi said with a smile.

"But the Taoist priest's mortal body is faintly surpassing the chaotic body that I have worked so hard to evolve."

Although his chaotic body has not yet matured, Yaoguang is confident that with his current incomplete chaotic body, he can surpass all contemporary geniuses.

The cultivation level of the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor is no joke.

Apart from the unreasonable existence like Ye Fan, even those freaks sealed down from ancient times, such as Taichu, Emperor and others, Yaoguang thinks they are not as good as himself.

The more he practiced the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art and the Immortal Heaven Art, the more he could feel the profoundness of these two ancient scriptures.

From an ordinary body, it evolved step by step into a chaotic body. Every thunder tribulation was a punishment from heaven. Without amazing perseverance and extraordinary talent for cultivation, it would be impossible to reach this level now.

It is precisely because he experienced numerous tribulations on the road of cultivation that the cultivation skills he accumulated are so solid and much stronger than those of cultivators at the same level.

However, Yaoguang, who had great confidence in himself, discovered that Li Zhi seemed to be no weaker than him in terms of both Taoism and physical body, which was flawed by his chaotic body.

Can a mere mortal really reach this point?

When the two first met in Beidou, Yaoguang was sure that Li Zhi was definitely not a mortal body at that time.

"Although the Chaos Body is the limit of the physical constitution in the world, there is a premise, that is, the limit of the innate physical constitution. Any person who has achieved enlightenment will eventually cultivate a great emperor body that is no weaker than the Chaos Body. Fellow Daoist, do you know why this is the case?" Li Zhi explained.

"It's related to the Heavenly Heart Seal."

Yaoguang was able to cultivate to his current level, so he naturally had a lot of experience and could easily think of the key points.

It can be said that the physique of any emperor is able to surpass the innate chaotic body.

Of course, if the chaotic body eventually becomes an emperor, the physique after transformation will surpass that of other emperors at the same level.

The Chaos Body's natural ability to blend with all the Daos actually overlaps with the effects of the Heavenly Heart Seal, and is even inferior to the complementary effects of the Heavenly Heart Seal and all the Daos.

After all, the Heavenly Heart Seal was born from the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

The chaotic body is only able to blend with all the laws of heaven and earth.

One is a biological son and the other is a adopted son, there is a difference in closeness.

"Since you have chosen the path of evolving a chaotic body, you should have deeply realized the hardships of this path, right?" Li Zhi said.

"Master, what are you doing?" Yaoguang asked.

"In fact, compared to other places, Beidou Ancient Star is undoubtedly more suitable for your Chaos Body cultivation. If you want to evolve a perfect Chaos Body, perhaps when you are unable to make further breakthroughs, you can return to Beidou to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth, and there will be a chance to break through the shackles."

Li Zhi also wanted to see if Yaoguang could successfully achieve the Dao Fruit of Chaos Emperor if he could evolve a perfect chaotic body.

According to legend, a chaotic body can still become an emperor if someone else has become an emperor before, but this rumor has not been verified by anyone.

Li Zhi wanted to see what the difference was between the so-called Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit and the real Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit.

At his current level, Li Zhi has been able to realize that there is a huge difference between the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit and the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit.

This is why some emperors are obviously stronger than other emperors.

"Beidou, I can't go back." Yaoguang turned his head and looked towards the direction of the ancient star Beidou, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

That was the place where he was born and raised, but now he can't go back.

The news that the ruthless emperor is not dead and is in charge of the ancient forbidden area is an obstacle for Yaoguang to return to Beidou.

Moreover, the ownership of Yaoguang Holy Land changed, and the forces he left in the holy land were wiped out by Weiwei. Even the dragon-patterned black gold tripod fell into the control of the other party.

With all these restrictions added up, his way back to Beidou was almost cut off.

"Fellow Daoist, you must know that the great formation on the ancient star Beidou was integrated into the body of an innate chaotic body. Although the great formation was destroyed due to the bombardment on the road to immortality. But although the great formation is incomplete, the foundation is still there. If fellow Daoist can calm down and comprehend it, perhaps he can comprehend the true meaning of the origin of the innate chaotic body, which may be of miraculous effect on his evolution of the chaotic body." Li Zhi continued to suggest without giving up.

Although Yaoguang was somewhat tempted, he finally shook his head.

The more Yaoguang practiced "Devouring Heaven Magic" and "Immortal Heaven Magic", the more he feared the ruthless emperor.

He was afraid that the fruits of his lifelong hard work would become a meal on the table of the ruthless emperor.

The word "ruthless" in Emperor Ruthless is not a false adjective, but an accurate summary of her path to enlightenment.

The performance of the Ruthless Emperor back then was absolutely unrememberable. His decisiveness in killing and the number of bloody incidents he caused were almost comparable to the dark turmoil launched by the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

Although the number of mortals killed by the Cruel Emperor was small, the number of cultivators was quite a lot.

Back then, the ruthless emperor killed almost all the geniuses of his generation. Wherever he passed, the road was paved with bones and the sea was filled with blood.

The word "demon" in "The Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art" is enough to explain everything.

Among the great emperors in ancient times, except for the ruthless emperor who achieved enlightenment through magic, it is difficult to find other ancient emperors who achieved enlightenment through magic.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Yaoguang talked about the purpose of Li Zhi's visit.

"Master, you came to this remote star region. Are you also here to find a place to transcend tribulation?" Yaoguang asked.

"I see that fellow Daoist's cultivation has already broken through to the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor, and with his rich accumulation, I think it won't be long before he breaks through to the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor. Are you also here to find a safe place to transcend the tribulation like me?" Li Zhi asked in return.

"Master Taoist is indeed a man of great insight. He can see through my cultivation so easily. Could it be that Master Taoist's cultivation has already risen to the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor?" Yaoguang did not see through Li Zhi's realm, but he could sense that Li Zhi was powerful and his realm was higher than his.

“I have not broken through to the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, but have just broken through to the seventh level, and I have not undergone the tribulation. I came here just to find a suitable place to undergo the tribulation.” Li Zhi said truthfully.

"If the Taoist trusts me, you can safely pass the tribulation here. I have a secret method that can limit the impact range of the thunder tribulation." Yaoguang really wanted to know how big the impact range was when Li Zhi was passing the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor tribulation. He could use this to judge whether his arrangements for passing the tribulation in the future were appropriate.

If there is no one who is about to achieve enlightenment to protect him, the last three thunder tribulations will be extremely dangerous for any quasi-emperor.

"The most difficult thing" is not just talk.

Especially in this era, the supreme beings in the major life forbidden areas have not fallen into a complete sleep.

There is no possibility of getting away with it.

Almost all the geniuses were thinking about how to survive the great catastrophes of the eighth and ninth levels of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Even for a genius of Yaoguang's level, the great tribulation of the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor requires careful preparation. After all, the more powerful the cultivator is, the greater the power of the tribulation. His great tribulation of the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor will definitely be comparable to the great tribulation of the eighth level of the Quasi-Emperor of others.

The power of a thunder tribulation of that level is too great to be concealed by ordinary means.

Even with the use of extreme weapons, it cannot be completely concealed.

Although Yaoguang has not reached that level yet, it is still very necessary to prepare in advance.

In order to prepare for future practice, Yaoguang specially created a magic circle to isolate the aura of the Great Dao.

However, the magic circle has not been truly tested, so he doesn't know whether it is reliable or not.

Now, Li Zhi was about to go through the great tribulation of the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor. In his opinion, it was the perfect time to verify the magic circle.

"Thank you for your kindness. Since this place is the one you found first, I will choose another place to transcend the tribulation. Although the universe is vast, not every place is suitable for you to transcend the tribulation." Li Zhi declined Yaoguang's kindness.

It’s not that he was worried that Yaoguang would do something bad to him, but he didn’t want to reveal his true colors in front of Yaoguang.

Yaoguang was an extremely arrogant person. As can be seen from his final outcome, he would rather die in battle than compromise.

Perhaps it was out of helplessness, or perhaps for some other reason. In short, he felt that although the universe was big, it could not accommodate Ye Fan and him to coexist, so he finally chose death.

Facing this guy, with whom he was not close but whose fighting power was extremely terrifying, Li Zhi did not want to fail.

After all, not everyone can fight Ye Fan for a whole day before being defeated. Yaoguang's true combat power is definitely beyond imagination.

According to Li Zhi's calculations, although his combat power at this time is higher than Yaoguang's, it is almost impossible for him to kill the opponent.

The other party is also evolving towards the direction of a chaotic body, and I am also cultivating towards transcending the chaotic body.

Although the paths they follow are different, they all lead to the same destination and are all related to the chaotic body.

Strictly speaking, the level of cultivation that Li Zhi has accumulated so far has not surpassed that of a true chaotic body of the same level.

Unless, he makes amazing breakthroughs in all the secret realms.

As for evolving half a small realm in the Great Sage realm, it is actually just that.

The Teng Snake tribe leader who failed to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level that year, although not a Quasi-Emperor, also possessed the combat power of a Quasi-Emperor.

From this perspective, the fruit of the Tao is not as amazing as imagined.

If he was at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and without achieving enlightenment in another way, he advanced half a small realm, that would be a truly astonishing achievement.

Because a cultivator at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm is one who has truly cultivated his five great secret realms to the limits of heaven and earth.

The next step forward is to connect the five secret realms and achieve the ultimate leap, so that you can truly try to prove your Dao and become an emperor.

If the Heavenly Heart Seal is not integrated during the final leap, the final result will be another kind of enlightenment.

Strictly speaking, this breakthrough only integrated the power of the five secret realms, and did not allow the five secret realms of the human body to exceed the limits of what the heaven and earth could accommodate.

According to the cultivation methods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths during the chaotic ancient times, in that world where the great way is incomplete, transcending the extreme realm is also divided into levels.

Within the ruins of the supreme battlefield of the Xushen Realm, Emperor Huang Tian was clearly two levels higher than his disciple Ge Gu (a pure-blooded red dragon with true dragon blood) in the realm of transcending the extreme realm.

Although the present Dao is perfect, it still makes sense to judge a person's potential by whether he or she can surpass the limit.

In the future, after Ye Fan's holy body is perfected, he will be able to defeat the Golden Crow Emperor who is at the peak of his power and has truly become an emperor with his alternative body. This will naturally exceed the limits of what the heaven and earth can accommodate.

Otherwise, he would never be able to defeat the emperor of the time.

The emperor is invincible in the world, this is not a joke, it is a fact that has truly been tested by time.

More than one Imperial Supreme has said that when their energy and blood are at their peak, they can kill even a true Great Chaos Body.

They are not bragging. Those who have become emperors have truly surpassed the limits of heaven and earth with the help of the Heavenly Heart Seal.

As for those who have achieved enlightenment in other ways, even if they have achieved a highly accomplished chaotic body, they are still unable to transcend the limits of heaven and earth.

Although the Great Emperor and the alternative enlightened being are at the same level in realm, their actual combat power is very different.

This difference can be seen from the obvious difference in combat power between those forbidden zone supreme beings before and after they were sublimated after cutting themselves with a sword.

Therefore, before truly surpassing the limits of heaven and earth, Li Zhi was not sure that his fighting power would definitely be stronger than Yaoguang.

Of course, if Li Zhi used his higher realm to crush Yaoguang, Li Zhi would definitely win, but what's the point of that?

Only a confrontation within the same realm can be considered a battle of truth.

It would be shameful if we were not in the same realm.

Li Zhi couldn't possibly be unaware of the rules that Empress Yuan's wife Yuan Gu and Ye Fan followed when they fought in Qixia Plain.

Upon hearing that Li Zhi was leaving, Yaoguang did not miss such a good opportunity to learn from Li Zhi.

Then he said, "Master, how about you and I have a fight in this star field? It will also help to test the effectiveness of the concealing formation. It will be useful for both you and me to overcome the tribulation in the future."

After entering the quasi-emperor realm, Yaoguang helplessly discovered that there were fewer and fewer people who could fight with him.

Most of the monks of the same level were left far behind by him.

The divine generals originally under the Immortal Queen, as well as the Immortal Queen, the woodcutter old man and the yellow-toothed old man in the Taoist Palace are also good opponents. Several old gods in the God Organization are also objects that can be honed.

Even the Lord of the Divine Court was an existence he planned to challenge after his cultivation level was raised to the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor.

However, Ye Fan is too evil and his growth rate is unbelievably fast.

This completely disrupted Yaoguang's plan.

Originally, those people should have been the opponents he was going to challenge one by one in the next two or three hundred years.

After all, the growth rate of most cultivators of the same level can no longer keep up with him.

Even the Emperor, Taichu and others, their cultivation level increases no faster than Yaoguang's.

As for those ancient princes, Yaoguang didn't take them seriously at all.

The most amazing ancient prince, his current cultivation level is only at the third or fourth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Faced with Yaoguang's repeated invitation, Li Zhi did not refuse.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to compete with a Chaos Body, so this is undoubtedly a happy thing.

Even though Yaoguang's chaotic body is flawed, being able to cultivate to the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor's flawed chaotic body is much stronger than an ordinary physique.

Even more powerful than those ancient princes who have the blood of ancient emperors.

Because Yaoguang's chaotic body was cultivated step by step by himself.

The powerful bloodlines in the ancient princes were inherited.

Don't underestimate this difference.

The impact on the spiritual fruits achieved by the cultivators is enormous.

It’s like, when Wang Bo, the innate chaotic body, is born in the future, his understanding of the origin of his own chaotic body will not be as good as Ye Fan’s.

Being able to evolve a physique that was not originally a chaotic body into a chaotic body, his understanding of the chaotic body can be almost thorough.

Therefore, Wang Bo needed to observe the Ancient Chaos Scripture created by Ye Fan from Ye Xian.

Studying something from scratch will always give you a much more thorough understanding than reverse engineering it.

The same principles apply in the process of spiritual practice. To successfully evolve a physique from nothing to something, a cultivator's understanding of this physique is much clearer and deeper than that of a person who is born with that physique.

"Looking at it horizontally, it looks like ridges and peaks, with different heights near and far. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."

Sometimes, observing things from a third-party perspective allows you to see things more clearly than experiencing them in person.

Li Zhi accepted Yaoguang's invitation to compete, and then sealed his realm to the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor.

Afterwards, the two fought in that desolate starry sky for a month.

Although it was not a life-and-death fight, once the real battle began, the two men showed no mercy.

Blood spilled across the starry sky and bodies exploded; these were just the norm during battle.

Fortunately, although the two fought without holding back, they had no intention of destroying each other's essence.

Although he was seriously injured, his life is not in danger.

The battle lasted for a month, and the two men fought a total of eighty-nine battles.

It almost reached the point where we fought an average of three battles a day.

They used all the means they could to the fullest extent.

After the war, both sides gained a lot.

Yaoguang realized from Li Zhi that the mortal body has great virtue and is one with all things, as well as the amazing state of mind that "there is no law in heaven and earth except for me".

Li Zhi also saw from Yaoguang the terrifying effect of having thousands of Daos as arms and borrowing the power of heaven and earth. When he fought against the chaotic body, it seemed as if he was fighting together with thousands of Daos of heaven and earth.

A month later, the two people who had gained a lot said goodbye to each other, left the star field, and each found a place to digest their gains.

This battle between the mortal body and the chaotic body, unknown to outsiders, ended quietly.

No one except the people of that time knew the impact this war would have on each of them.

Because of this competition that lasted for a month, Li Zhi even postponed the time for his tribulation.

The harvest is huge, you can see it clearly.

The chaotic body is indeed the most powerful innate physique in the universe.

After truly experiencing the power of the Chaos Body, Li Zhi felt that among the innate physiques, the Chaos Body was unsurprisingly ranked first.

There is no one who can compare to him (except for artificial acquired physical conditions).

The effect is exactly the same as that of the Heavenly Heart Seal, which is truly terrifying. The added effect on the cultivator's combat effectiveness is too powerful.
