Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 468 Duan De's Concerns

The breeze blows by, and everything trembles.

As Li Zhi crushed the Heavenly Heart Seal he had condensed, all living beings in the universe felt it.

It was as if a supreme emperor had passed away.

As the Divine Chain of Order transformed from the broken Heavenly Heart Seal was reconnected with the Great Seal of the Golden Crow Emperor, the aura of the Great Dao that Li Zhi left on the myriad ways of heaven and earth disappeared without a trace almost in an instant.

The aura of the three emperors that originally existed between heaven and earth directly turned into the coexistence of two emperors.

This sudden change instantly ignited public opinion throughout the universe.

Countless powerful people used their divine thoughts to search for the source of the change, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find the source of the change.

"The Immortal of Longevity passed away?" Many people even showed a look of astonishment.

"He probably didn't pass away. Maybe Master Li died in battle." Others speculated whether Li Zhi met with an accident.

Compared to Ye Fan's well-known powerful combat capability, outsiders have no idea what level Li Zhi's strength has reached.

From the way people address him, we can see the difference between Li Zhi, Ye Fan and the Golden Crow Emperor.

After the Golden Crow Emperor attained enlightenment, he established the Demon Court on the Huosang Star and enjoyed worship from all directions. He was a true emperor of the time.

Before Ye Fan became an emperor, he had already established the Heavenly Court and was the master of the Heavenly Court. After he became an emperor, the Heavenly Court was at its peak, completely overshadowing the Demon Court of the Golden Crow Emperor and officially becoming the most powerful force in the universe.

Therefore, Ye Fan is also respected by the world as Ye Tiandi, to distinguish him from Jinwu Emperor.

After becoming emperor, Li Zhi neither established a divine dynasty nor expanded the influence of the Supreme Daoist temple, and he never even appeared in front of the world.

Therefore, people in the world did not know much about him and did not call Li Zhi "the Great Emperor" or "the Emperor of Heaven". Instead, the title of "the Immortal of Longevity" was completely confirmed.

Master Li or Master Changshou became the respectful names given to him by the world.

"It's impossible to die in battle. There is no aura of imperial war in the universe. Maybe Changshou Zhenren is like the Henren Emperor. He cut off the connection with the heaven and earth and imprisoned his own avenue in his body to prevent his own avenue from suppressing later comers." Another powerful person said.

The news that the Henren Emperor is still alive is no longer a secret. Why didn't he kill himself, but his great Dao has no impact on all living things in heaven and earth? Based on the fairy gold chains tied to the Henren Emperor's body when he appeared every time, everyone came to an astonishing conclusion, that is, the Henren Emperor imprisoned his own great Dao in his body, so it did not cause any suppression to the myriad ways of heaven and earth.

Ever since Ye Fan and Li Zhi became emperors one after another, in the past hundred years or so, some people have also tried to become emperors by defying the will of heaven.

Unfortunately, today's Ten Thousand Dao Suppression is more than ten times stronger than before.

Not only does he have to break through the suppression of the Myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth and the Golden Crow Emperor to try to transcend the tribulation and become an emperor, he also has to fight against the imprints of the Myriad Daos left by Ye Fan and Li Zhi on the Myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth.

Only by defeating them can the later ones become emperors against the will of heaven.

However, all those who have tried to become emperors could not break even the suppression of the myriad laws of heaven and earth, let alone face two supreme beings who left the imprint of the Great Dao on the myriad laws of heaven and earth.

There were even several supreme and powerful beings who achieved enlightenment in an alternative way, but they could not withstand the backlash of the myriad laws of heaven and earth and died directly under the heavenly calamity.

This result was extremely regrettable, and it also made other strong men temporarily give up the idea of ​​defying the will of heaven and becoming emperors.

At this time, someone deduced the secrets of heaven and concluded that there were three ways to become an emperor in this era.

The first is to use absolutely powerful combat power to shatter the Heavenly Heart Seal, erase all the ways of heaven and earth, defeat the ways of the three great emperors, and then overcome the calamity of becoming an emperor, and finally leave one's own emperor's mark on all the ways of heaven and earth.

The second way is that Emperor Ye Tian and Master Li take back the Supreme Dao imprint they left on the Heaven and Earth Myriad Daos and stop suppressing the Heaven and Earth Myriad Daos. Later generations only need to follow the example of Emperor Ye Tian, ​​and as long as they can break the Heavenly Heart Imprint and the Myriad Dao Suppression that merged with the Golden Crow Emperor, they can become emperors.

The third possibility is that an imperial war occurs. Emperor Ye Tian, ​​Master Li, and Emperor Jinwu all die in the imperial war. Future generations only need to break the suppression of the heaven and earth to become emperors.

Unfortunately, almost every one of these three methods results in a death sentence.

Now, Li Zhi has been emperor for just over a hundred years, but his mark of the Great Dao has disappeared from the world. This is shocking.

Many people began to wonder when Ye Fan would take back his Heavenly Emperor's mark from all the laws of heaven and earth.

As for the Golden Crow Emperor, he is the emperor who truly achieved enlightenment by merging with the Heavenly Heart Seal. Unless he commits suicide or passes away in meditation, it is impossible for him to separate his own Dao imprint from the myriad ways of heaven and earth.

If Li Zhi and Ye Fan took back the imprints of the Great Dao they left on the myriad ways of heaven and earth, some super powerful people might still have a chance of becoming emperors in this life, such as the Emperor, Taichu, Zhang Bairen, Yin Tiande, the God of War and others.

If Ye Fan and Li Zhi did not take back their Dao seals, then the above people would have no chance of becoming emperors in this world.

Now, Li Zhi suddenly took back the mark of the Great Dao he left between heaven and earth, which was surprising.

In the Heavenly Palace, Ye Tong, Xiao Song, Yang Xi, the Holy Prince, Hei Huang and others all came to Ye Fan to inquire about this matter.

"Master, is there a problem with Master Li's enlightenment?" Xiao Song asked with some concern. Among Ye Fan's disciples, Xiao Song and Li Zhi had the best relationship. He had known Li Zhi since he was a little squirrel.

"Ye Fan, quickly tell us, what's the situation with Taoist Li?" Hei Huang asked curiously.

At this moment, Duan De, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came to the Heavenly Palace. Seeing that everyone was gathered around Ye Fan, he laughed and greeted, "Everyone is here."

"Fatty Duan, where did you come from?" Heihuang said with surprise, looking at Duan De with a flushed face.

"Dog, your fur is getting darker and shinier. It's much shinier than the dog skin mattress I got not long ago." Duan De directly commented on Heihuang's fur.

The angry Black Emperor immediately pounced on Duan De and opened his bloody mouth to bite Duan De.

However, Duan De dodged it easily.

"Gouzi, stop talking to me. I came to the Heavenly Palace to tell you something important." Duan De shouted while running.

"Uncle Heihuang, let's talk about the matter between you and Uncle Duan later. Let's talk about business first." Seeing this, Ye Tong hurriedly persuaded.

The Black Emperor, who had been unable to catch up with Duan De, could only give up temporarily and said viciously: "Fatty Duan, you wait for me."

"Uncle Duan, what good news did you bring us? Do you know the true situation of Taoist Li?" Ye Fan's disciple Huahua asked.

Duan De shook the whisk in his hand and shook his head, saying, "It's not Li Zhi's news. I came to inform you that a large number of distinguished guests are coming to visit."

"What kind of serious business is this?" Huahua and others felt puzzled.

But Ye Fan said, "Ye Tong, Yang Xi, you go outside to welcome the guests. Xiao Song, you tell people to set up a fairy banquet to entertain the distinguished guests."

At this time, outside the Heavenly Palace, almost all the powerful people who did not have any grudges against Ye Fan had arrived.

There are geniuses who were sealed in ancient times, such as Emperor, Taichu, Zhang Bairen and others; there are emperor’s sons such as Daoyi, Huo Qizi, Huo Lin’er and others; and contemporary geniuses such as Yin Tiande, Shenzun, Xiang Yufei, Di Tian and Renwangti.

Almost half of the geniuses who grew up in this golden age have arrived.

For a moment, even the people in heaven felt extremely honored.

At the Immortal Banquet, after everyone greeted each other, Ye Fan was the first to ask, "I wonder why you fellow Taoists are here?"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, we are here mainly to inquire about the matter of the immortal Changshou." Daoyi spoke on behalf of everyone to explain the purpose of their visit.

"Since Li Zhi passed the tribulation and became an emperor, I don't know his specific situation." Ye Fan shook his head and said, then turned to look at Duan De and said, "Perhaps Taoist Duan can help everyone solve the problem."

Duan De did not hesitate, and nodded directly and said: "This time, all of you Taoist friends came to the Heavenly Palace together. I had someone notify you to come."

At this time, there was not a trace of smile on Duan De's face, and his expression even became extremely serious, as if he was about to announce something important concerning life and death.

Everyone felt a solemn and murderous aura from Duan De, as if they had been invited to the Heavenly Palace to discuss matters of life and death concerning the universe.

Before this, when Ye Fan invited everyone to attack the Life Forbidden Zone together, they did not feel much seriousness from Duan De.

But now, it is not just serious, there is even a sense of solemnity.

The feeling Duan De gave people was completely different from before, as if the Emperor of the Underworld had returned.

Even Ye Fan had to listen carefully to what Duan De was going to say next.

“I have called everyone here this time because I have something to inform you. The universe may fall into a truly dark and turbulent period. As the strongest people in the universe, you must prepare for a bloody battle in advance.” Duan De said.

"Dark turmoil? Could it be that the Taichu Ancient Mine and the Supreme in the Heaven are going to start a dark turmoil? With my master here, do they dare to come out and jump around? Aren't they afraid of being wiped out by us?" Yang Xi was eager to try, as if he wanted to challenge the Supreme in the restricted area. Now that he has achieved the great perfection of the Saint Body, he does have the strength to do so. "Junior brother, listen to Uncle Duan finish his words." Ye Tong turned his head and glared at Yang Xi, asking him to be quiet.

"It's not the kind of dark turmoil you have experienced before. It's real dark turmoil." Duan De's expression was extremely serious, full of worries about the future.

"Master Duan, are there other types of dark turmoil?" Zhonghuang Xiang Yufei asked.

"The so-called dark turmoil launched by the Forbidden Zone Supreme is not a turmoil strictly speaking, but a massacre of the weak by the strong. Everyone here has had similar experiences to a greater or lesser extent, but none of them have killed as many people as the Forbidden Zone Supreme." Duan De said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale and they wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start. To reach their current level, almost everyone had blood on their hands.

Take Daoyi as an example: in order to take back the Ancient Tree of Life from the Other Side of God, he directly set up a plan to destroy the Other Side of God. A huge life star was destroyed, and billions of creatures living on it died. From the perspective of killing, he was no different from the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone.

Others have also carried out indiscriminate slaughter to varying degrees, turning millions of lives into ghosts at their hands.

"Everyone, please continue to listen to what Taoist Duan has to say next."

At this moment, Ye Fan spoke up to resolve the embarrassment in everyone's hearts.

Then Duan De nodded and said, "I suspect that something strange has happened to Li Zhi, and he may have turned into a real dark creature. If he really has turned into a dark creature, I invite everyone to work together to kill him."

"What? Killing the Immortal Changshou?" Almost everyone was stunned by Duan De's words.

Hei Huang even ran directly to Duan De and said, "Fatty Duan, you are not crazy because of gain or loss. Taoist Li is also your disciple. Why do you want to kill him and call on everyone to kill him?"

"You don't understand the horror of dark creatures." Duan De shook his head.

Then Duan De looked at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, you are the absolute main force in this battle. If Li Zhi really falls into darkness, you must do your best to completely wipe him out. Not a drop of blood, a pinch of ash, or a trace of breath can be left. You must kill him completely."

Ye Fan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Master Duan, can you tell me the specific reason? What are the dark creatures you mentioned?"

Duan De shook his head and said, "In fact, I don't know what dark creatures are, but when Li Zhi was going through the tribulation, some memory fragments suddenly popped up in my mind. Once you encounter dark creatures, you must kill them completely, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

Duan De, who had experienced the coming of true darkness, instinctively scoffed at the so-called dark turmoil that appeared in this vast universe.

When Li Zhi was undergoing the tribulation, an extreme dark force suddenly erupted from his body, triggering a reincarnation seal in his body.

Then a trace of memory of darkness was released from the reincarnation seal.

Now, Li Zhi's aura of the Great Dao suddenly disappeared from the world, forcing Duan De to consider whether he had fallen into darkness.

Just when Duan De summoned the strong men from various domains to hold a meeting in Heaven to find Li Zhi and find out the truth.

Li Zhi was still gaining enlightenment in that chaotic little world.

He has already fully comprehended the supreme power of rules contained in the Tianxin Seal.

From then on, the Tianxin Seal no longer held any secrets in his eyes, and the useless Tianxin Seal was naturally discarded by him.

The Secret Realm of the Human Body Method focuses on the inner great way of the human body. The great laws of the outside world can be used as a reference but cannot be relied upon. One must mainly seek within.

Using the physical body as the carrier of the Heavenly Heart Seal, it promotes the expansion of the human body's Tao Seed and further increases the laws of the Great Dao that the human body's Tao Seed can accommodate.

Although it did not increase Li Zhi's Taoism dramatically, it did broaden his upper limit, allowing him to accumulate a deeper foundation in the Tao.

After becoming emperor, Li Zhi's body officially underwent a transformation like a rebirth. Even the most powerful weapons could not leave any trace on his body, and the strength of his body was comparable to that of immortal weapons.

Moreover, Li Zhi was surprised to find that there was a faint nine-colored luster in the bright red blood in his body.

The blood containing nine-color luster seems to have infinite potential.

Recalling the astonishing power that erupted from the depths of the source of life when he was overcoming the tribulation, Li Zhi forced out a drop of blood containing nine-color luster.

Then use great mana to melt them.

The more magic power is used to condense that drop of essence blood, the brighter the nine-color luster that bursts out from it, even more gorgeous than the nine-color luster on the human-shaped elixir of immortality.

But when Li Zhi refined that drop of essence blood to the extreme, the nine colors of light suddenly melted together and turned into colorful black.

Although the real blood did not change color, the colorful black it emitted was frightening.

It was as if the real blood had undergone a qualitative change.

However, there was no surprise on Li Zhi's face. Instead, he showed an expression of "as expected".

Ever since he learned that Li Jizu's body could produce dark true blood, Li Zhi knew that the gene of that true blood was definitely hidden in his blood.

Sure enough, when he was going through the Heavenly Emperor Tribulation, the stimulation from the outside world truly exceeded the limit that his physical body could endure, and his true blood officially awakened at that moment.

After comprehending his own state, Li Zhi felt more confident about his future practice.

After leaving that chaotic little world, Li Zhi came to the 99th city of the ancient road of the human race.

It was also a trial level that he created personally.

Now, Li Zhi plans to melt it and arrange it again, turning this level into a real trial ground for gods and demons, a trial ground that can hone peerless geniuses.

When Li Zhi arrived at the 99th level of the human race, he did not find Gu Lin.

Since there were no old friends, Li Zhi had no intention of stopping to reminisce about the past. He waved his hand and moved all the people in the city out of the area.

Then he began to cast a spell to rebuild the city.

The cultivators who were moved out originally thought that they had encountered a powerful enemy, but after seeing Li Zhi, whose figure was obscured by the chaotic energy, in the forging city, they stood outside the domain and watched.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, they saw stone tablets engraved with images of gods and demons appearing in the city.

Finally, all the stone tablets were connected together to form a wall engraved with 108 pictures of gods and demons.

Each god and demon seemed to contain some of the emperor's laws, making them look extremely mysterious.

After rebuilding the ninety-ninth city on the ancient human trial road, Li Zhi said to the current city lord: "I have rebuilt this city. I hope you will live up to the mission and make good use of it to cultivate more powerful people for our human race."

After saying that, Li Zhi left.

As for the specific effects of the Wall of Gods and Demons, they will naturally experience it after they enter.

Those trial grounds of gods and demons are large enough for the Great Sage to hone himself.

Seeing the brand new 99th level ancient city exuding the aura of the immortal emperor, the city lord and a group of monks all showed surprise.

"City Lord, who is that person?" a young man asked.

"He is most likely the immortal Changshou who rebuilt this city back then. Now that he has traveled here, he has reinforced the city." The city lord is from Gulin's family and learned a lot about Li Zhi's deeds from Gulin.

After hearing this, everyone rushed back to the city excitedly.

"It's a pity that the immortal left like this. Otherwise, we would definitely thank him in person." Many cultivators showed expressions of regret.

If they had known that the figure shrouded in chaotic energy was Li Zhi, they would have tried their best to keep him.

If Li Zhi was willing to stay in the city to rest, perhaps they would have a chance to listen to Li Zhi's supreme teachings.

Afterwards, the lord of the ancient city spread the news that Li Zhi suddenly appeared on the ancient trial road of the human race and rebuilt the 99th city.

Soon, the protectors and law enforcers of the ancient human road gathered in the 99th city.

Looking at the Wall of Gods and Demons engraved with 108 pictures of gods and demons, everyone was shocked.

Finally, everyone shouted: "The real person is merciful, all spirits bow down to him."
