Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 493 Trial of the Supreme Palace

The sun and moon are nowhere to be seen, and the environment is gloomy.

A blue-black barrier enveloped the square, protecting the buildings in front from external forces.

The Sutra Library, the Dharma Hall, the Supreme Hall, the Spiritual Medicine Garden, the Medicine Refining Room, ..., all kinds of functional buildings are almost all available. It seems that the Supreme of the Supreme Hall has moved all the functional areas of the entire Taoist temple to this small area.

Although Li Zhi could see the appearance of those buildings through the magic circle, he could not pass through the magic circle that protected the buildings and enter them.

The inheritance of the Supreme Palace was placed on the back of a giant turtle.

Li Zhi already knew this, but after seeing such a complete functional area, he still underestimated the last successor of the Supreme Palace.

When the old Supreme of the Supreme Palace was defeated by the Supreme of the Immortal Palace, he should have known the fate that would happen to the Dojo, so he made preparations in advance.

Li Zhi could guess that those palaces should contain all the classics of the Supreme Palace and were the place where the complete inheritance of the Supreme Palace was located.

As for the mountain treasures that were lost from these palaces, it was probably not a simple mistake, but a deliberate act.

It is to select qualified successors for the Supreme Hall.

Judging from the results, the guardian beast of the Supreme Palace achieved its purpose.

The mountain treasure that was shaken out by it went around in circles and finally fell into the hands of Emperor Huang Tian.

Later, after entering the upper realm, the complete inheritance of the Supreme Palace fell into the hands of Emperor Huang Tian hundreds of years later.

After practicing till now, Li Zhi has long understood that everything in the world has its cause and effect, and any seemingly unexpected surprise is full of conspiracy behind it.

However, the plans of the strongest often leave no trace and appear like accidents.

But in a world where one can deduce the secrets of heaven, how could there be so many unexpected events?

The fate of cause and effect has already determined the outcome.

Before transcendence, even someone as powerful as Emperor Huang Tian could not escape the destiny.

From the Three Generations Bronze Coffin he saw that in the future he would sit alone in a coffin drifting in an endless sea of ​​blood, and everything came true in the end.

Perhaps the old Supreme in the Supreme Hall saw something before he died.

The mountain treasure that sealed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art and the Grass Sword Art would "fall" out from the Supreme Palace just after the birth of Emperor Huang Tian.

That is the supreme inheritance of the Supreme Palace.

Although the giant turtle under his feet has turned into a flesh-and-blood puppet-like weapon and cannot be considered a real living creature, its spirit still retains a certain level of consciousness, just like the old soldiers in the Tianjiao Ant Cave.

How could such an existence "lose" the supreme inheritance of the Supreme Palace at will for no reason?

It was obvious that he sensed something and threw the inheritance away. Even if it changed hands many times, it would eventually return to the person of destiny.

The whole process looks so natural; this is the true layout of a strong person.

It seems that not too many arrangements have been made, but in fact, when the bait is released, the test has been integrated into the seemingly ordinary daily life.

Otherwise, why couldn't the four ferocious beasts and the Honghu Saint obtain the inheritance of the Supreme Palace?

Because none of them are qualified and cannot meet the requirements to become the successor of the Supreme Hall.

After many twists and turns, the inheritance of the Supreme Palace finally fell into the hands of Emperor Huang Tian.

It is no coincidence that this giant turtle has remained deep in the earth of the wilderness.

However, these have little to do with Li Zhi.

The body of Tuoba Yaoyang he occupied had no cause and effect, no fate, and no such feeling of whim, with the Supreme Palace lineage.

After getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Zhi began to explore this place that seemed like a small world of Sumeru.

Although it looks small, as all the palaces are surrounded by a small square, the space inside is actually very huge.

Moreover, without the divine eye of Li Zhi's level, even if one came to this small square through the teleportation array, one would not be able to see the true appearance of those palaces. One would only see them as one sacred mountain after another.

He walked around the edge of the small square and found that there were indeed invisible magic arrays guarding the area, preventing him from entering the palaces.

There is only one path leading out of the small square.

Li Zhi was not disappointed. He kept walking along the small path and soon arrived at the foot of a small hill.

A winding rock staircase leads to the top of the mountain.

On the rocky steps, Li Zhi also felt the aura of countless great Dao runes.

This stairway is obviously not an ordinary one, it should be something similar to the trial road.

After stepping onto the stairs, Li Zhi instantly discovered that the surrounding environment had changed and he had come to a desert.

Looking around, many ferocious beasts were wandering in the desert.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that none of those ferocious beasts were adults. Most of them were cubs of heavenly-level ferocious beasts, including golden lion cubs, white tiger cubs, true lion cubs, pixiu cubs, Suan Ni cubs, and nine other cubs of heavenly-level ferocious beasts.

With the appearance of Li Zhi, the ferocious beast cubs at the same level as him seemed to have smelled the scent of delicious food and rushed towards him directly.

"Just in time."

Seeing those ferocious beast cubs attacking, Li Zhi instantly realized their nature. They were all ferocious beasts transformed from the runes of the Great Dao.

This staircase is a trial road prepared for outsiders who enter this place through the magic circle, and it has the same function as the Wall of Gods and Demons.

It is a place used to test and train the successors of the Supreme Hall.

It is said that there is only one successor to the Supreme Hall in each generation, and once that person is born, he will be invincible at the same level.

This kind of achievement is obviously not achievable through seclusion and hard practice alone.

Within the Supreme Palace, there are definitely means to hone disciples.

At least it can allow the heir of the Supreme Hall to have cubs that can rival the heavenly-level beasts when they are young.

"Human King Fist!"

Then, Li Zhi concentrated the Human King's magic on his fists and fought with the cubs of those heavenly-level ferocious beasts.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Just like an adult punching a kindergarten student in Nanshan or kicking an elementary school student in Beihai, almost none of the cubs of the group of heavenly-level ferocious beasts could withstand more than three punches from Li Zhiquan.

However, Li Zhi could sense that the ferocious beasts transformed by those runes were all beings that had reached the ultimate level of one hundred thousand jin of divine power in the Blood Moving Realm.

However, compared with someone like Li Zhi who has cultivated the Blood Moving Realm to the Great Perfection, their extreme realm seems a little weak.

In the ancient times of the Immortal King, Li Zhi cultivated 129,600 kilograms of divine power in the Blood Moving Realm, which not only represented the great perfection of the Blood Moving Realm, but also represented the foundation of the Immortal King.

The so-called foundation of the Immortal King is the ability to cultivate each realm to the limit that the rules of heaven and earth can accommodate.

This kind of cultivator is a cultivator who possesses the foundation of the Immortal King.

After all, the Immortal King represents the life at the highest level of the Great Dao in a world of great perfection.

However, the cultivator who left behind the inheritance land of the Supreme Palace was obviously not an Immortal King.

The level of power possessed by these heavenly beast cubs transformed by runes is only the recognized limit after the destruction of heaven and earth.

This stairway should be the Supreme Refining Trial Road in the Supreme Hall back then.

Sure enough, after Li Zhi easily "killed" those ferocious beast cubs, the surrounding environment changed.

The desert disappeared, replaced by bluestone steps, and Li Zhi also discovered that there were no more trials on the next hundred steps.

It seemed that the tester sensed that his strength exceeded the standard and cancelled the next test. However, Li Zhi discovered the runes on the rock steps through his perception.

At the same time, he also understood why a group of heavenly-level ferocious beast cubs appeared on the first step.

It was obvious that his strength exceeded the rules on the steps and became a bug-like existence.

It should be that every time you climb a step, you will encounter a ferocious beast of the same level as the cultivator.

Only after killing the ferocious beasts blocking the way can you continue to land on the next step.

However, Li Zhi didn't care.

Ordinary geniuses need to fight with opponents step by step to gain experience and become stronger, but he doesn't need that.

The real challenge he faces is to cultivate every realm of this world's law to the limit.

Practicing in the broken world and challenging the impossible are the fundamental reasons why he personally takes action to accumulate the Dao Fruits of the Dharma Immortal King in this life.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he easily cultivated the Blood Moving Realm to the true Great Perfection level.

That’s because the Blood Moving Stage does not yet involve enlightenment.

The Cave Heaven Realm is not so easy.

Even in the eight realms of the lower realm, cultivating the Cave Heaven Realm to its limit would not be smooth sailing.

The so-called limit of the cave heaven realm is the Ten Great Cave Heavens, which is only the limit within the broken heaven and earth.

After Emperor Huang Tian broke the limit, he opened up a physical cave heaven within his physical body, which was actually the eleventh cave heaven in the cave heaven realm.

According to Li Zhi's deduction, the true limit of the cave heaven realm is twelve cave heavens.

The cave can be opened up inside the body or outside the body, and will eventually turn into an immortal passage connecting the heaven and earth.

In Li Zhi's opinion, a reasonable cave heaven layout should be to open up nine cave heavens outside the body and then three cave heavens inside the body, so as to completely cultivate this realm to the level of great perfection.

That is to say, before the heaven and earth are shattered, this state can reach the true limit level allowed by the rules of heaven and earth.

Li Zhi walked while thinking about the cultivation of the Cave Heaven Realm, and unknowingly crossed 108 steps.

When he stepped onto the 109th step, he suddenly found that the environment in front of him had turned into a desert again.

The golden desert seemed to possess a kind of magical power, as if it could devour people's flesh, blood, and souls. It was completely different from the desert I had seen before.

The desert before us looks more like an ancient battlefield where countless souls are buried.

Suddenly, a burst of shouting and killing sounded from the end of the desert.

Li Zhi seemed to have sensed something and immediately looked back, and saw a huge city built of stars.

The city wall is very high, seemingly level with the sky, and one cannot see what is happening on top of the city walls.

The city gates were heavy and the city walls were shut tightly, and no one came out to support him.

At this moment, he seemed to have become a lone hero who went out of the city alone to fight against the powerful army.

When the shouts and screams from the other side of the desert got closer, Li Zhi realized that the opponents he was facing were all in the form of alien creatures.

Moreover, those creatures are no longer at the same level of cultivation as him.

Although there were no cultivators at the Spiritual Transformation level, among the group of enemies on the opposite side, there were many creatures whose aura had reached the Tenth Cave Heaven level.

"The Supreme Palace really took great pains." Li Zhi couldn't help but think to himself when he saw this.

Afterwards, he put away his carelessness and looked at the enemy opposite him with full readiness.

Sure enough, the enemy's attack methods were completely different from the heavenly beasts they had encountered before. They were all imitations of the attack methods of alien creatures.

The old Supreme in the Supreme Hall must have been to the Imperial Pass, and even fought battles with alien creatures more than once.

Otherwise it would be impossible to imitate their attack methods so vividly.

Although it is only an imitation at the cave heaven level, the ultimate goal of the Supreme Palace lineage can be seen from this action.

Cultivate descendants who can resist alien creatures.

Perhaps, this is why the Supreme Hall can possess the Caozi Jian Jue. The Caozi Jian Jue is a genuine inheritance of the Immortal King, and is known as one of the three great sword techniques in the world.

In the ancient battle of the Immortal Realm, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass fell under the siege of four immortal kings. This cause and effect will naturally be transferred to the forces that inherited his legacy.

It makes sense that the trial ground arranged in the Supreme Palace contains a situation simulating an alien army.

Moreover, Li Zhi believed that cultivators who had not surpassed their limits to get here would never encounter this simulated trial battlefield.

It seems that this simulated battlefield is already the ultimate test of this trial road.

"kill!"

The Human King's magic was activated in an instant, and the cave above his head appeared. At the same time, a Human King seal condensed by the magic appeared in the cave.

In an instant, Li Zhi's combat power soared to its peak state.

"Boom!"

As the opposing army began to charge, the desert beneath their feet began to shake, and Li Zhi also rushed towards the army.

The Qi and blood in his body surged like a dragon, and the tremendous Qi and blood power was infused into his limbs and bones, bringing him an extreme increase in strength.

Use the magic to activate your fists and swing them at the enemy, as if you are attacking with the magic.

The battle lasted only a moment before Li Zhi was seriously injured.

Even though he had cultivated the Blood Moving Realm to its limit and possessed the combat awareness of an Immortal King, his actual level of cultivation and combat power had only just entered the Cave Heaven realm.

Even if he recreated the cave heaven, making it bigger than others.

But it is not enough to make up the gap between him and the Ten Cave Heavens cultivators.

More importantly, he was surrounded by a large army.

Anyone who has been in the mortal world knows that as long as there is no crushing advantage in life level, even a peerless master must avoid a head-on confrontation with a large army.

Li Zhi now is like a peerless master in the mortal world who is besieged by the fearless regular army.

The enemies came upon him like a tide.

You can’t kill them all. You can’t kill them all.

Kill one, and there will be ten more. Kill ten, and a hundred will be replenished in an instant.

Even though Li Zhi's cave can efficiently absorb the essence of heaven and earth from the outside world to nourish his body and replenish his divine power.

However, the speed at which divine power is consumed far exceeds the speed at which it is replenished.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Towards the end of the battle, Li Zhi had no idea how many enemies he had killed, and there were layers of corpses under his feet.

There were thousands of wounds on his body.

Even after fighting until their internal organs were spilling out, the number of enemies still did not decrease.

Gradually, a feeling of despair emerged in Li Zhi's heart.

Is this still a trial?
