Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 472: Daoguosheng on the Path to Immortality

The Supreme Dojo, after a hundred thousand years of growth and development, has long become the most transcendental place for cultivation on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

Although there is no outward expansion, every time a disciple from the temple goes out for training, the world can feel the power of the Supreme Temple's heritage.

Over the past 100,000 years, no matter how the external environment of heaven and earth changed, the number of great saints and strong men in the Supreme Dojo has never ceased, making everyone realize that the Supreme Dojo is special.

Even the status of the Supreme Dojo on the Ancient Star Ziwei is similar to the seven life forbidden areas on the Ancient Star Beidou, which makes people both respect and fear it.

Such a powerful inheritance naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

It's a pity that the Supreme Dojo does not easily recruit disciples from outside. Even if it does, the elders with powerful cultivation will go into the mortal world to look for those children with extraordinary talents.

The number of disciples in the temple is maintained at a scale of almost one hundred people recruited every thousand years.

At the same time, it is also to ensure the diversity of the bloodlines of the monks of various races in the temple.

This will prevent the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist Temple from falling into the hands of one family.

Moreover, fifty thousand years ago, Li Zhi felt that it was becoming extremely difficult for cultivators in the outside world to practice, so he asked the head monk of that generation to take care of them.

Then, the head teacher of that generation organized a supreme challenge competition that was powerful enough to affect the entire Ziwei Ancient Star.

The Supreme Challenge is held every thousand years, and the top three monks can enjoy the rewards of the Supreme Dojo, including but not limited to the opportunity to read the ancient scriptures of the Great Emperor in the Supreme Sutra Pavilion, or the rewards of the Holy Spring of Life or the Ancient Medicine King.

Moreover, the geniuses who get into the top ten in the Supreme Challenge can enter the Supreme Dojo to practice for a hundred years without joining the Supreme Dojo, and during this hundred years, they can enjoy the treatment of true disciples in the Dojo.

When the Supreme Challenge first appeared, it did not have much influence.

But after 50,000 years of development, it has almost become a grand event that occurs once every thousand years in the cultivation world of Ziwei Ancient Star.

Even the legend of the Supreme Taoist Temple on the Ancient Star of Ziwei can be preceded by the phrase "since ancient times".

Don’t underestimate the power of the four words “since ancient times”, which are enough to illustrate the current weight of the Supreme Dojo.

When Li Zhi walked out of the dojo, he happened to encounter the opening of the new Supreme Challenge.

In almost every famous city on the Ziwei Ancient Star, a selection arena has been set up. Any young cultivator who is not more than a hundred years old and whose cultivation level is below the King Realm can sign up to participate. There is no limit on race or identity. What matters is combat power and talent.

The Supreme Challenge is divided into two stages.

The first stage is when all rivers converge into the sea. That is, a champion is born on the stage in each city.

Then they went to the Supreme Arena in Luzhou to compete in the second stage of the Tianjiao Challenge. The so-called Supreme Arena was where the capital of Li Zhi's Qiyun Divine Dynasty was located.

In the end, the young geniuses competed in the supreme arena to emerge as the top ten strong ones.

Not only will they be qualified to enter the Supreme Dojo to practice, but they will also be called the Ten Great Prodigies by the world.

Those cultivators who have won the title of the Top Ten Prodigies have almost gathered all the luck of the Ziwei Ancient Star for the next thousand years.

The Supreme Challenge has developed to the point where its influence is no longer limited to the Ziwei Ancient Star. Even strong people from other ancient life stars outside the domain will come to participate.

For tens of thousands of years, almost half of the super powerful people who were able to dominate the changing situation of Ziwei Ancient Star had won the title of Top Ten Prodigies when they were young.

Not only is the universe and myriad laws within the Supreme Dojo in a relatively active state, but even the various secret realms for training disciples make outsiders jealous.

Many things were made by Li Zhi, and he specially arranged them according to the trials that the cultivators need to endure at each stage of their practice.

Those things almost cover the auxiliary practice environment for all stages of practice, from mortals to great saints.

It’s a pity that Li Zhi thought too much back then.

They were even so thoughtful that they turned the training of the Monkey King into a product on an assembly line.

Although there have been many Great Saints in the Supreme Dojo over the years, and each of them is a powerful one among the Great Saints, none of them has broken the limit and reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

It was as if he was a strong man carved from the same mold.

This kind of training actually deprives them of the possibility of growing freely.

On the contrary, the top ten geniuses who won the Supreme Challenge could only practice in the Supreme Dojo for a hundred years.

After they leave the dojo, some of them eventually grow to be stronger than the strong ones in the Supreme Dojo.

However, because the headmaster of the Supreme Dojo holds the ultimate weapon, the Black Tortoise Seal, no one comes to challenge him.

How could Li Zhi miss such an interesting and prosperous era?

After leaving the dojo, he traveled around the Ziwei Ancient Star.

I watched one exciting fight match after another and witnessed the rise of one young genius after another.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's just an ancient Ziwei star and it's like this. I can't imagine how prosperous the original ancient world that owned the Void God Realm must have been."

After watching the final, Li Zhi followed them back to the Supreme Dojo.

Li Zhi didn't want to show up in front of the world, so naturally they couldn't see Li Zhi.

After entering the Supreme Dojo, the current headmaster personally met them and brought those geniuses to the immortal gate in the dojo to tell them about Li Zhi's glorious deeds.

Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard the headmaster's description of his glorious image and deeds.

The exaggeration is really too much.

Fortunately, Li Zhi did not claim it in person, so it was not embarrassing.

The ten geniuses who ultimately won this Supreme Challenge were seven men and three women.

Their identities, backgrounds, and even ethnic origins were different, and their expressions were also different when they listened to the headmaster's introduction.

After the headmaster of the Supreme Dojo finished introducing Li Zhi’s glorious deeds, he left.

The ten geniuses, led by the disciples of the Supreme Dojo, toured the various scenic spots in the dojo.

"Brother, it is said that Master Li's Taoist temple had seven star peaks. Why are there no traces of them?" a man asked.

“The Seven-Star Divine Peak is where the founder lived. It is certainly not something that disciples like us can observe at will.” The disciple of the Taoist temple responded.

"Brother, it is said that Master Li has several immortal medicines around him. Is that true? Have you ever seen them?" Then another female disciple asked.

"The master has the elixir of immortality around him. They are planted in his yard, but we disciples have no chance to see them." said the disciple.

"I really want to see the scenery behind that immortal gate." Someone also looked back at the immortal gate that disappeared from sight and sighed.

"There are restrictions on the immortal gate left by the ancestor himself. Not only do you want to see the scenery behind the immortal gate, even I want to see it. Unfortunately, no one can enter or exit the immortal gate without the ancestor's summons." said the disciple.

"Is it possible that the Immortal Changshou is still alive?" someone asked in surprise.

"The founder is immortal, so of course he is still alive." The disciple said in surprise.

"How is this possible?" one of the geniuses said to himself.

"What's impossible? Fifty thousand years ago, it was the founder who asked the head master not to rest on his laurels. That's how the Supreme Challenge came about." The disciple of the dojo said proudly.

"Could it be that like Emperor Ye Tian in Heaven, Immortal Changshou is really immortal?" Finally, these people said in surprise.

Li Zhi followed them and listened to their discussions all the way, feeling a hint of youth and vitality from them.

Then, he left the Supreme Dojo and went to the Heavenly Palace.

Ye Fan was not in the Heavenly Palace at this time, but after sensing Li Zhi's presence in the Heavenly Palace, Ye Fan returned from the outer domain. Then, Li Zhi exchanged the human-shaped immortality medicine for the White Tiger Immortal Medicine in Ye Fan's hand.

After completing the exchange of the two immortal medicines, Li Zhi went to the ancient forbidden area of ​​Beidou and borrowed the True Dragon Immortal Medicine from the Henren Emperor using the Laurel Fairy Tree.

After doing all this, Li Zhi returned to the dojo and started a new round of practice.

He planted the True Dragon Elixir of Immortality, the White Tiger Elixir of Immortality, the Black Tortoise Elixir, and the Vermillion Bird Elixir in his own Four Extremes Secret Realm respectively.

In this way, one can comprehend the original power of the Immortal King's Dao contained in the elixir of immortality.

If it is said that for a cultivator in the human realm standing at the pinnacle of the ultimate truth, comprehending the origin of the Great Dao of the Immortal King contained in the elixir of immortality is like seeing flowers in the fog, then Li Zhi's current research on the elixir of immortality is like catching the moon in the water.

Although it is impossible to touch the origin of the great Dao from the Immortal King contained in the elixir of immortality.

However, we can also see some details about the origin of the Immortal King Avenue outside.

Seventy thousand years had passed since this enlightenment.

Even Li Zhi of the third generation had to reach old age before he finally achieved great results.

No wonder the ruthless emperor divided the Nine Wonderful Immortal Elixirs into nine plants and planted them on nine holy mountains for tens of thousands of years.

It is really too difficult to comprehend the origin of the elixir of immortality.

Even during these 70,000 years, two new emperors were born in the outside universe, but they did not arouse any interest from Li Zhi.

After comprehending the origin of the Tao contained in the four elixirs of immortality, Li Zhi had a very profound understanding and cognition of the four poles of heaven and earth, the four limbs of the human body, and the four symbols of the Tao.

Afterwards, Li Zhi exchanged his laurel fairy tree and human-shaped immortal medicine back from the ruthless emperor and Ye Fan.

Ten thousand years later, Li Zhi's third life finally came to an end. He lived for a full eighty thousand years in this life.

Then he took an elixir and transformed and regenerated himself.

That elixir was the astonishing Four Symbols Nirvana elixir he had refined over the past ten thousand years using the fruits of thirty-six elixirs of immortality.

Among them, the True Dragon Immortal Elixir, the White Tiger Immortal Elixir, the Black Tortoise Immortal Elixir, and the Vermillion Bird Immortal Elixir, each of these immortal elixir fruits used nine. These immortal elixirs transformed after the death of the immortal kings can mature once every five thousand years.

Li Zhi, who has been holding them in his hands and comprehending them for 70,000 years, naturally has no shortage of fruits of the elixir of immortality.

Moreover, the elixir of immortality fruits he used to make pills were all fruits that absorbed the essence of the origin of heaven and earth that had been refined by his Four Poles Secret Realm.

The effect of the elixir is almost 100% in line with his taste.

Li Zhi, who has lived out his fourth life, can clearly sense that his lifespan in this life will definitely easily exceed 100,000 years.

I just don't know if it can exceed the 129,600-year mark.

Li Zhi, who has lived for the fourth time, still has not appeared in front of the world.

He is not as high-profile as Ye Fan. He would release disciples in the Heavenly Court from time to time to fight against the geniuses of the time, and then seal them up before they become emperors.

Although Li Zhi spread his perfected secret method, over the past hundred thousand years, cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of the Dao with the help of this practice are rarer than emperors.

Perhaps it was because the timing was wrong, or perhaps it was because he had not yet gone through the baptism of time, and his perfected method of practice had not been able to take root in this world.

It is estimated that the next era will be the time for it to show its prowess.

Just like in the mythological era, the ancient period, and the prehistoric period, the practice had different emphases.

Now is the era of Ye Fan as the Emperor of Heaven, and the environment of heaven and earth is naturally affected by Ye Fan’s avenue.

Ignore worldly affairs and concentrate on improving yourself.

In the following 50,000 years, Li Zhi completed the nirvana of the Taoist Palace Secret Realm, and the only true God also completed the transformation process of "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."

Li Zhi, who finally completed Nirvana in the secret realm of the Taoist Palace, cultivated three flowers on the top of his head and five energies in his chest.

The only true God was also divided into eight, becoming eight gods that coexisted with the three flowers and five qi.

Li Zhi's cultivation level also experienced explosive growth as a result, the increase was even greater than the cultivation level he had accumulated in the previous 230,000 years.

It can be seen what kind of influence the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin had on his practice of the Great Dao.

However, after completing the nirvana in the Taoist secret realm, Li Zhi's Taoist practice only increased dramatically, but his life span in the fourth life was not extended.

Afterwards, Li Zhi spent the remaining time of his life practicing in the Secret Realm of the Wheel Sea.

Not only did he take the Fusang sacred tree out of the slumbering place of the ancient Sun Emperor and plant it beside the Laurel Fairy Tree, he also completely separated the life and death energies in its body and used them to cultivate an immortal grass that represented the ultimate of life and a divine flower on the other shore that represented the ultimate of death.

By comprehending Yin and Yang and life and death, these two opposing origins, Li Zhi finally realized the true meaning of Yin and Yang and life and death before the end of his fourth lifespan.

Afterwards, he completed a life and death nirvana, and at the same time achieved the reconstruction of the secret realm of Wheel Sea, and even lived out his fifth life through this.

It’s just a pity that his lifespan in the fourth life did not break the limit of one yuan, and stopped at a length of 120,800 years.

However, Li Zhi was still very satisfied with this.

Li Zhi, who lived out his fifth life, completed the secondary cultivation in the five secret realms, and his Taoism increased to an incredible level.

When he engraved the laws of the Great Dao within this small world of the Supreme Dao Field, the cultivators within the Supreme Dao Field suddenly discovered that, living within the Dao Field, their lifespans were passing away at almost half the rate of those in the outside world.

Such an amazing discovery made them realize that their ancestor was still alive.

This kind of miracle is almost as good as the eternal Emperor Ye Tian in the heaven and the ruthless Emperor in the ancient forbidden area.

At this time, the outside world had reached the 300,000th year of the Heavenly Emperor Calendar. Ye Fan also lived out his seventh life and began to practice the secret method of the Eternal Dream.

Li Zhi, who has lived out his fifth life, seems to have reached a critical point in the realm of longevity, just like a cultivator in the realm of humanity reaching the realm of great sage.

If one wants to continue practicing, one must complete a transformation and sublimation of the laws of the Dao, just like the change of a cultivator in the human realm from a great sage to a quasi-emperor.

Fortunately, Li Zhi's life span in this life was long enough, and he lived for a full 168,000 years.

Finally, he completed the ultimate sublimation of the Great Dao.

Even after Li Zhi's avenue was sublimated, the entire Supreme Dao field was greatly affected, as if it had suddenly turned into an immortal realm.

The life span of the monks living inside has almost increased tenfold.

A great sage can easily live for 70,000 to 80,000 years, although it is not as long as the millions of years in the ancient times of the immortals.

But during this period, ten times the lifespan is already an unimaginable length.

It seemed that something similar to immortality material had evolved between heaven and earth within the dojo.

Although that kind of long-lived matter is far from comparable to the real long-lived matter that existed in the complete universe during the ancient times of immortals, it is also an extremely shocking thing.

It seems that if he takes one more step forward, Li Zhi will truly be able to achieve immortality in the mortal world.

Sure enough, after Li Zhi integrated the original essence contained in the five secret realms, including the essence of the flesh, the essence of the Great Dao, the essence of the soul, etc. into a brand new Tao seed, Li Zhi completed the nirvana rebirth in his old body and lived another life.

Li Zhi, who has lived out his sixth life, seems to feel no influence of time on him, and from then on, time has no effect on him.

At this moment, the fruit of immortality in the mortal world was truly conceived by him.
