Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 463 The Mystery of Dark Blood

A purple jade coffin and a corpse that had undergone a strange transformation shocked Li Zhi.

Because the person lying in the coffin was none other than a corpse that looked almost exactly like him.

However, apart from the face which looked exactly like him, the rest of the body was somewhat inhuman.

Not only did it have two gray-black real dragon horns on its head, like the horns of the legendary dark dragon, but its body was also covered with a thick layer of gray-black hair. There were wisps of strange mist flowing through the hair, like the dark matter released when the body breathes.

Moreover, Li Zhi did not sense any aura from the corpse that was of the same bloodline as his.

Looking at the face inside the purple jade coffin that looked exactly like his, Li Zhi felt a sense of disgust and irritation for no reason.

Then Li Zhi released a stream of true fire to burn the mutated corpse in the coffin.

"what……"

As the hair on the corpse was burned, Li Zhi could faintly hear the wailing of countless wronged souls in the flames, as if each hair represented a human life.

But the more he used Taoist fire to burn the corpse, the more shocked Li Zhi became.

You must know that the Dao fire he released is the ultimate true fire, which can burn everything. Even the corpse of the emperor can be burned to ashes.

However, the corpse in the divine coffin only had the gray-black hair on the surface burned off, and the flesh was completely intact.

Finally, a perfect body covered with fine dragon scales was revealed.

His hands looked like works of art made of black gold with dragon patterns, and they emitted a faint, terrifying aura of destruction.

There is also a thick dragon tail at the end of the spine, and the black scales are flowing with a mysterious and luxurious colorful luster.

Although he could not sense any breath of life in his body, Li Zhi's intuition told him that the corpse did not seem to be completely dead.

Seeing that his ultimate true fire not only failed to burn him to ashes, but instead made his body glow with five colors, Li Zhi stopped his plan to continue destroying this body.

"Whose body is this? Could it be the body of an immortal from another world left over from the ancient times?"

The pure dark aura emanating from him was completely different from that of any creature in the universe, forcing Li Zhi to doubt his identity.

"Go back to the past! Find your roots."

Then, Li Zhi directly used forbidden methods, intending to use his mind to go back through the long river of time to find out the true origin of this corpse.

In an instant, the void around them seemed to be torn apart, and phantoms like gods and demons emerged, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if interfering with Li Zhi's secret method.

However, this magic art named after the Taoist Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques has long reached a level that is unfathomable. Even if there are many gods and demons transformed from the laws of heaven and earth coming to block the way, Li Zhi's divine consciousness is still like a scorching sun, penetrating the years and time, and reflecting what happened to this corpse from the dark river of time.

In the ancient unknown years, a black snake rose in the wilderness and fought against monks from all over the world. Step by step, it tempered the true blood in its body, and finally awakened the true blood of the dark dragon and evolved into a black dragon that was as powerful as a real dragon.

After the Black Dragon Supreme grew old and weak, he entered a mysterious area full of large tombs, where he killed an unimaginable existence and brought out a drop of black true blood.

After taking the real blood, the Black Dragon Supreme instantly became younger, but not long after, problems appeared in his body. Black hair began to grow on his body, and he became confused.

Finally, he took advantage of the last bit of his spiritual consciousness to open up this small world, built a solitary tomb here, and then lay in the purple jade coffin that he had made with his own hands.

However, when Li Zhi wanted to observe other things happening to him, his vision was blocked by a mysterious mist.

No matter how powerful he is, he still cannot see through the truth behind the mysterious mist.

Even beads of sweat appeared on Li Zhi's forehead, and he felt a little tired all over.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the world seemed to turn upside down, and a chaotic divine light emitting an aura of destruction suddenly burst out from the mist, instantly defeating Li Zhi's magical powers.

Li Zhi groaned and had to stop using the secret technique to trace the source.

From the limited footage, it can be seen that this corpse had nothing to do with him when it was alive.

The real change occurred after its death.

Moreover, the face of the Black Dragon Supreme when he buried himself in the purple jade coffin was different from the face of Li Zhi today.

Looking at the corpse lying in the divine coffin that was stronger than the imperial weapon, Li Zhi was filled with doubts. He temporarily closed the coffin lid again and put the divine coffin away.

Looking at this polluted little world, Li Zhi struck out with one palm, instantly turning this small world into chaos.

All the strange forces existing between heaven and earth were completely wiped out in this process.

Then Li Zhi took a step forward and arrived in the Western Regions.

"Two little friends, please stay." Li Zhi instantly appeared in front of the two surviving brothers and sisters.

"Who are you?" The brother looked at Li Zhi warily.

"I have no ill intentions. I just want to find out more about the situation." Seeing that the brother and sister were even more afraid of him, Li Zhi said, "I have avenged your uncle. Those who were chasing you are all dead now."

Li Zhi simulated for the brother and sister what happened inside the gate to the underworld after they left.

Unfortunately, Li Zhi's move did not win the trust of the brother and sister, but made them more wary of him.

Li Zhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Sure!"

In an instant, he imprisoned all thoughts of the brother and sister and observed their memories.

There was nothing in the memory that Li Zhi wanted, but instead he saw the complete text of "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" in a Yuanshen weapon in the little boy's sea of ​​consciousness.

And the background and origin of their Li family turned out to be that they were descendants of Li Dapeng.

They were not the descendants of Li Jizu that he had expected.

But soon, Li Zhi discovered something wrong. He and Li Xian'er did not leave any cultivation techniques to Li Zhong's family.

Then, Li Zhi once again displayed his magical power of "returning the sky to the sun".

Sure enough, eighteen hundred years ago, he saw Li Jizu's figure on the inherited magical weapon. At that time, his aura seemed to have reached the level of a saint.

However, Li Zhi saw a sense of incongruity in him.

After that, he could no longer see Li Jizu through this magic weapon. Later, this inherited magic weapon fell into the hands of Li Dapeng’s great-grandson, who founded the increasingly prosperous Li family.

The ancestor they were looking for was not the golden dragon body he buried in the Kunlun fairyland.

Rather, it was a message Li Jizu left for them before he left.

Then, Li Zhi let the brother and sister go and said, "Are you two going to Kunlun Immortal Mountain? With your cultivation level, you can't get in at all. Why don't you practice with me from now on?"

"Uncle Taoist priest, are you our elder?" After Xiao Ling'er regained her ability to think, she seemed to realize that Li Zhi was not a danger to them, so she asked directly.

"I guess so." A memory flashed through Li Zhi's mind, recalling how Uncle Li Zhong's family had taken care of him and Li Xian'er.

"Are you really our elder? Why haven't we seen you before?" asked the little boy.

"I used to practice in an outer domain and just returned to Earth. I went back to my hometown and found that the village was gone. Then I saw you being chased in the mountains." Li Zhi said.

"Are you really our elder? Do you have any proof?" asked the little boy.

"The 'Innate Longevity Technique' contained in the inherited magic weapon in your sea of ​​consciousness is the technique I left behind." Li Zhi said.

"Are you the ancestor of Li Zhi?" The little boy remembered that the adults in the clan had talked about the source of their lineage. There was an ancestor who practiced in the outer domain with great cultivation. There was also a grandmother who was on good terms with the Heavenly Court and was also practicing in the outer domain.

The reason why their Li family was able to establish a relationship with the Heavenly Court was because of the help of their great-grandmother Li Xianer.

According to legend, there was a big figure in the heaven, Phoenix Goddess, who had a good relationship with Li Xianer's grandmother.

Now the ancestor Li Zhi suddenly appeared, which made them even more unbelievable.

Afterwards, Li Zhi called Huo Yan, who was traveling on Earth, to his side and said, "Huo Yan, these two little guys will be left to your care for the time being."

"Yes, teacher." Huo Yan said respectfully.

Li Zhi did not intend to teach these two little guys personally.

Afterwards, Li Zhi entered Kunlun, the place of immortality, alone.

After entering the area covered by the imperial formation, Li Zhi instantly sensed Li Jizu's breath.

"Not bad." Li Zhi felt slightly relieved.

Then, he came to a dragon cave, where Li Jizu was. However, when he saw Li Jizu's appearance in the dragon cave, he felt unwell.

There was no trace of Li Jizu inside, only a ball of true blood that had merged with half of his primordial spirit, which was sealed in a pool of top-grade dragon marrow and was being nurtured.

However, the power of the soul is still dissipating, with no signs of improvement.

Li Zhi instantly displayed his great magical power, seized the endless fortune in the ancestral vein connected to the dragon cave, repaired Li Jizu's soul, and used that drop of true blood to reshape his body.

Although his Taoism was not preserved, his life was saved.

"dad?"

A few days later, Li Jizu, whose body had been reshaped, woke up from his daze. When he saw Li Zhi, he was very surprised.

"Azu, you're finally okay."

Li Zhi didn't know how to face this child and could only speak awkwardly.

"You saved me?"

After Li Jizu fully woke up, it seemed that his previous feelings had returned, but he was not as surprised as when he first woke up.

"Who hurt you like this? Tell daddy, and daddy will avenge you." Li Zhi didn't know how to get along with Li Jizu, so he said murderously.

If he had come a few years later, Li Jizu would have really died.

Upon hearing this, Li Jizu looked at Li Zhi with a complicated expression.

After a long silence, a bitter smile appeared on his face and he said, "It's you."

"It's me?" Li Zhi said in disbelief.

Afterwards, Li Jizu told Li Zhi about his past practice.

Back then, after the return of the essence of heaven and earth to the earth, cultivation was no longer a illusory thing, and cultivators were no longer an existence that was untouchable by mortals.

After seeing his mother off, Li Jizu saw his children grow up while he himself was getting older day by day, which gave him the idea of ​​practicing Taoism and achieving immortality.

Then he returned to the place where he grew up, where he found the letters and cultivation resources left for him by Li Xian'er, and from then on he embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, when he first started practicing, his talent was not good.

Even with the help of many elixirs, the speed of cultivation is still extremely slow.

Until one day, his hometown notified him to relocate the graves, and he found a secret method of finding dragons and exploring caves hidden by Li Daqiang in the tomb of his grandfather Li Zhi.

Then he embarked on the path of searching for the remains of ancient monks and excavating their tombs.

It can truly be considered as inheriting the ancestral business.

It was at that time that he changed his name back to his original name, Li Jizu, in order not to bring harm to his descendants living in the secular world.

Later, as his cultivation level gradually increased, suddenly one day, a special black true blood awakened in his body.

Ever since the appearance of that true blood, he seemed to have been reborn, and his cultivation began to grow rapidly.

One can even nourish the concentration of true blood in the body by devouring other cultivators, thereby promoting the growth of Taoism.

After the dark turmoil of that year, Li Jizu also embarked on the journey to gain experience in the starry sky.

Then, he devoured countless cultivators in a very short period of time, and his cultivation continued to soar. After practicing outside the domain for less than two hundred years, his cultivation broke through to the quasi-emperor realm.

But at that moment, the true blood in his body suddenly became uncontrollable.

There was an inexplicable consciousness surging within his body, as if it was trying to replace his soul and dominate his body.

In order to resolve the hidden dangers in his body, Li Jizu returned to the earth from the starry sky and came to the big tomb where the Black Dragon Supreme was buried.

Originally, he wanted to use the power of the Emperor's evil spirit in the Emperor's body to eliminate the black true blood in his body.

However, something he didn't expect happened.

As soon as he opened the purple jade coffin, his body and the emperor's corpse seemed to have the same origin and showed signs of instinctively devouring each other.

At that moment, the supreme Dao pattern on the hill was activated, and it seemed that he would be trapped to death in the big tomb.

Li Jizu acted decisively, cut off part of his pure soul on the spot, burned the essence of his soul and escaped from that small world.

Then, he consumed a huge amount of half of his soul and came to Kunlun Immortal Land, and merged it with the pure essence and blood that he had left in this dragon cave before he stepped into the starry sky.

The pure blood essence here was what he kept as a backup to prevent accidents after the black true blood was born in his body.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this backup plan really saved his life.

After listening to Li Jizu's story, Li Zhi's mind was filled with a lot of thoughts.

"The dark true blood is actually the dark true blood that can allow people to achieve super evolution. No wonder there is no royal array pattern guarding the emperor's tomb. It turns out that it was wiped out by the law fluctuations generated during the dark evolution. But how could such a thing be born in Jizu's body?" Li Zhi couldn't help but think to himself.

Li Xianer's awakening of the innate holy body of reincarnation was already outrageous enough for Li Zhi to feel.

What's even more outrageous is that Li Jizu actually awakened dark true blood in his body that can allow cultivators to achieve super evolution.

But soon, a strange look flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he thought, "Could it be that the reason why Jizu and Xian'er were born with such strange physiques is because they inherited the special bloodline I passed on to them?"

In this world, special physical conditions can be inherited through blood.

Many strange things were born in Li Zhi's body, which were different from the normal creatures in this world.

There is not only a mysterious three-story altar, but also a mysterious fairy tree, and some other things.

It's as if light and darkness coexist as one.

There is both the blood of normal creatures in his body, and it seems that there is also the special blood of a strange clan.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suppressed his speculation and asked, "Ji Zu, has your child embarked on the path of cultivation?"

Li Jizu shook his head and said, "Ever since I awakened the special true blood in my body, they seem to have been implicated by me. All my descendants have died in accidents one after another. Regardless of whether they embarked on the path of cultivation or not, none of them had a good end. Now there are no descendants of my bloodline out there. Back then, I passed on the Xiantian Changsheng Gong to Uncle Dapeng's descendants, and their lineage should have inherited it."

"Your uncle Dapeng's descendants now only have two children left." Li Zhi said with emotion.

Then, he took out the purple jade coffin that contained the super evolver.

"Have you been to that world of the Emperor's Tomb?" Li Jizu asked in surprise after seeing the purple jade divine coffin.

"That's where I came from." Li Zhi said.

"There is an extremely strange power on the corpse inside. Can you deal with it?" As if recalling some unpleasant memories, Li Jizu frowned and said.

"Don't worry, it has achieved super evolution and has almost exhausted the dark power in its body. The remaining strange substances have also been refined by me. Now it is just an ordinary flesh shell." Li Zhi said.

"Super evolution, what is that? Do you know what the real blood in my body is?" Li Jizu asked hurriedly.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "You have just recovered, so you should rest for a while. When you are fully recovered, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Although there was not much father-son relationship between Li Jizu and Li Zhi.

But Li Jizu, who had experienced the beatings of society, had long understood that his father Li Zhi was not an ordinary person.

Now, he can be resurrected thanks to Li Zhi's treatment.

Otherwise, his soul might completely dissipate in the sinking.

"Xian'er, have you been doing well these years?" Li Jizu asked finally.

"Your sister is doing well and is now training in the universe." Li Zhi said.

Then, there was a long silence between the two.

Finally, it was Li Zhi who asked, "What are your plans next? Are you going to follow me back to the Supreme Dojo on Ziwei Ancient Star, or continue to practice on Earth?"

Li Jizu said, "I want to go see my sister."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I'll notify your sister to come back right away."
