Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 500: The Seed of Great Evil
Clear water, blue sky, lush grass and singing birds.

The breeze is gentle and the ancient forest is quiet.

There are no more bloody battles in the wilderness, no more worries about losing one's life at any given moment, it is as if we have suddenly moved from barbarism to civilization.

This sense of contrast is extremely strong and can easily cause people's minds to fluctuate violently.

The violent fluctuations in a cultivator's mind often bring people rare and special experiences, either a spiritual transformation or an opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

Of course, it is also possible that the mind cannot adapt to such drastic changes, and problems may arise in the Tao heart.

However, for Li Zhi, this experience gave him a special insight.

Outside Duankong City, on the endless plain, there are no tall mountains or majestic rivers, but only a large forest with lush vegetation and all things coexisting.

At this time, Li Zhi was lying in a stream in the forest, enjoying the hot spring-like water.

Under the sun, the sparkling water was like an invisible pair of skillful hands, massaging every inch of Li Zhi's skin and bringing him the ultimate comfort.

This feeling of ease and comfort seemed to take him back a million years to when he first arrived in Beidou and, after regaining his youth, he enjoyed swimming in the streams among the primitive ruins in the southern region of the Eastern Wasteland.

Under the caress of the gurgling water, every inch of Li Zhi's skin was relaxed. Not only were his tense muscles relaxed, but even the runes in his flesh and blood seemed to have been smoothed away from the edges that were harmful to the body, becoming more in tune with his flesh and blood.

It seems as if there is no difference between us anymore.

Even the skin, which had been made extremely rough by wind, sun, and repeated bloody battles, has regained its former whiteness and smoothness.

The whole person's body shape seems to become more rounded, giving people a feeling of unity.

Even the bloody smell that had accumulated on his body, which could be smelled from a hundred feet away, completely disappeared at this moment.

It was as if this ordinary stream in the forest had the extraordinary ability to purify any filth in the world and could wash away all the negative auras on living beings.

Whether it is murderous aura or evil aura, it is a negative aura to a living being.

If you cannot control them effectively, you will be hurt by them. Even if you can control them effectively, you will need to consume your pure life essence to offset the damage they cause.

Now, the murderous aura that Li Zhi had cultivated after killing millions of miles of blood has completely disappeared after taking a bath, which is really curious.

But is it really that easy for the evil spirit to disappear?

the answer is negative.

If there was a truly powerful person who was careful to observe Li Zhi's face at this time, he would be surprised to find that an invisible "凶" character-shaped mark had appeared between his eyebrows.

Just by using one's spiritual thoughts to come into contact with the mark of the word "evil", one's mind would seem to be pulled out of the physical body and into a mysterious space filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It was a veritable mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. There was not a single piece of land. The mountain was made entirely of the bones and flesh of all living beings. The source of the water in the sea of ​​blood was the various colors of blood that flowed from the bodies of all living beings.

The colorful sea of ​​blood was creepy to look at, as if every particle of light in every color represented the evil spirit of a creature that had died tragically at the hands of Li Zhi.

As the evil spirits roared in despair, waves rose on the surface of the sea of ​​blood. The exploding waves were like the evil spirits struggling in vain in the sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, a "sun" emitting pure white light was suspended above the sea of ​​blood.

The pure white sunlight does not have a trace of temperature, nor will it bring a trace of warmth to people. It seems to come from a place of true extinction. All the souls illuminated by it will eventually have only one option: to go into extinction.

Under the illumination of the white light, the evil spirits and ghosts in the sea of ​​corpses and blood were constantly disappearing.

The white sun seemed to become a little brighter.

As the evil spirits and ghosts in the sea of ​​blood and mountains of corpses completely disappeared, the colorful water in the sea of ​​blood gradually turned into the same dark red color, and the mountains of corpses gradually turned into bones and turned into pale white mountains.

When the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood was completely purified, their forms could no longer inspire the slightest fear in people, and the white sun above the sea of ​​blood stopped shining.

After the white light filled with the aura of annihilation was completely restrained, its true appearance was finally revealed.

It was a pure and flawless mysterious seed formed entirely from the aura of great evil.

Although the seed is only the size of a grain of rice, its interior seems to be able to contain all the forces related to "evil" in the world.

Millions of miles of bloody battles and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of lives only accumulated a grain of rice-sized source of "evil" energy.

If we want it to grow to a size that can truly rival the sun and the moon, even annihilating all living things in the nine heavens and ten earths would be far from enough.

Li Zhi has not discovered any other effects of this original "evil" energy. As long as he knows that by infusing its power into the body, the soul, body and even the laws of the universe will enter a violent state, thereby greatly enhancing a cultivator's combat effectiveness.

Just like the Ten Evils of Ancient Immortals, each of them has the ability to fight across levels.

Even in a one-on-one situation, a top immortal king cannot kill an immortal king who is ranked among the ten evil ones and has a flawed Dao Fruit.

Even the immortal kings from foreign lands need four to fight one to kill a powerful monster of the same level.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the cultivator is, the harder it is to fight one against two or three at once.

For every strong person who can become an Immortal King, there is basically no qualitative difference in their own talents.

This also caused a huge gap between Immortal Kings of different levels.

However, the Ten Ancient Evil Immortals broke this pattern where their Taoism and status were consistent.

The ten evil creatures of ancient times are the True Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Sky-horned Ant, Kunpeng, Thunder Emperor, Nine-leaf Sword Grass, God-Slaying Stone, Cricket, and Nine-Nether Beast. These are ten races with special talents.

However, among the Ten Evils of Ancient Immortals, there were no human cultivators. This was extremely unbelievable in Li Zhi's opinion.

Although humans are not as strong as the ten evil races by nature, their learning and creative abilities are unrivaled in the past, present and future, and few intelligent races in the world can match them.

However, this race with such unique advantages has never had a being listed among the "Ten Evils".

You should know that "Ten Ancient Evils of the Immortal World" is not a derogatory term in the universe.

Whether it is the fairyland, the foreign land, or the burial land, the ten evil races are certain.

It doesn't mean that if there is a creature in a certain tribe who becomes the Immortal King, that tribe will be qualified to become one of the Ten Evils.

The "Ten Evils" can generally be seen as a special kind of karma position in heaven and earth.

All races that can ascend to the position of "Ten Evils" are, without exception, extremely special.

For example, the true dragon is known as the most perfect template for the evolution of life species. There are countless races in the heavens and all worlds evolving towards the form of a true dragon.

For example, Kunpeng, a creature that transcends its predetermined fate, eventually evolved into a racial form.

Another example is the locust, which can cut off time with one hand and space with the other. Time and space are both in its hands, and the essence of time and space is that they are the carriers of fate. You can imagine how powerful this species is.

Finally, let's talk about the Nine Nether Beasts. This race gave birth to the ancestor of the quasi-immortal emperor realm. The matter of the world-destroying old man in charge of the world is terrifying. They were able to stand out among the myriad spirits of heaven and earth and be ranked among the ten evil spirits.

Li Zhi felt that with the human race's innate body size and almost unlimited creative talent, as well as the true source of this ancient history, future generations might be able to cultivate a special talent that was even more vicious than the "Ten Evils" during this period.

The "evil" seed between Li Zhi's eyebrows was something he accidentally created when he was in a trance while moving from barbarism to civilization.

Li Zhi called it "the seed of great evil."

This is a special Tao seed that will grow with him from nothing to something, from weak to strong.

However, this Tao seed does not carry any of the great laws of the Tao, but only absorbs various "evil" energies accumulated during his growth.

This is a special method of raising "evil" that was sublimated based on the secret method of fighting against the will of heaven and slashing the way of heaven that Li Zhi inherited in the Supreme Palace, and it also combines the method of nurturing the seeds of Tao and the method of stealing the secrets of heaven.

Li Zhi is very much looking forward to the performance of this extremely evil seed after it matures, and what kind of surprises it will bring him.

Could it be possible that with the blessing of the "evil" species, this cultivator of human origin could possess the incredible combat power of the Ten Evils?

While Li Zhi was lying in that ordinary stream, nursing his evil spirit, someone in the Butian Pavilion, millions of miles away, was thinking about him.

On top of a picturesque ancient mountain, Xia Youyu, dressed in white and looking like a fairy from heaven, was staring in a daze in the direction of the mountain gate of Butian Pavilion.

At this time, several days had passed since the date when Bu Tian Pavilion recruited disciples. This time, a total of 3,000 disciples joined Bu Tian Pavilion to practice. Regardless of whether it was Xiao Shi Hao who caused trouble and caused an accident in the entrance examination, the number of entrance examinations directly swelled to 3,000.

For example, among the three thousand disciples, there was no one that Xia Youyu was waiting for, which made her feel empty.

Xia Youyu had never encountered such a thing in her life. She had made an appointment but was stood up unexpectedly.

As a woman of peerless beauty, with the support of the ancient pure land of Butian Pavilion, and her own strong strength, she can receive more preferential treatment than others wherever she goes.

Young men of the same age were very attentive to her and would never stand her up.

But now, after waiting for several days, there was still no trace of Li Zhi, which made her feel a little lost.

"Junior Sister Xia, are you still disappointed about Tuoba Yaoyang's breaking of the appointment?" Soon a young disciple in his early twenties came to Xia Youyu and asked.

"Senior Brother Tao, why are you here?" Xia Youyu seemed to have just come to his senses.

"There's news from Dahuang, I'll come over to inform you as soon as possible." Senior Brother Tao said.

"Is this news about Tuoba Yaoyang?" Xia Youyu asked hurriedly.

"It's not his news. It's about the huge losses suffered by the major forces in the process of searching for the Supreme God's treasure. An extremely bloodthirsty humanoid beast appeared in the Great Wilderness at some point, causing heavy losses to the various forces that entered the Great Wilderness to search for treasures. Even many powerful people at the king level died. Tuoba Yaoyang, who you had high hopes for, may have died in the Great Wilderness, so he broke the appointment." Senior Brother Tao said.

The disappointment in Xia Youyu's eyes disappeared immediately, and then she said with a little worry in her eyes: "There is not much time left before the opening of Baiduan Mountain. And my Butian Pavilion cannot send a few true geniuses to participate in the competition for those fortunes this time."

"Baiduan Mountain only allows young people under the age of 18 to enter. If we were born a few years later, we wouldn't have to worry about this." Tao Yu said helplessly.

Although the Butian Pavilion has opened its doors to recruit disciples this time, there are only a few disciples who can truly be called geniuses.

Moreover, none of them would fight on behalf of the Butian Pavilion. Whether it was Shi Yi from the Wuwang Mansion of the Shi Kingdom, or Huo Ling'er, the youngest daughter of the Emperor of the Fire Kingdom, or Xiao Tian, ​​the genius of the Xiao clan who had opened up nine caves at a young age, or even the core disciples of other clans, none of them would fight on behalf of the Butian Pavilion.

The only people who can represent Butian Pavilion in the war are the young disciples trained by the elders of Butian Pavilion since childhood.

However, there are almost no outstanding young disciples under the age of eighteen. They can only be regarded as geniuses among ordinary people, and there is still a big gap between them and prodigies.

After suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind, Xia Youyu asked, "Senior Brother Tao, have the elders found that naughty kid?"

Like Tao Yu, she was a direct disciple trained by the Butian Pavilion since childhood. Unfortunately, she was over 20 years old and had lost the qualification to enter the Baiduan Mountain.

"That naughty kid must have changed his appearance and sneaked into the pavilion. Elders Xiong Fei and Zhuo Yun are secretly investigating his whereabouts. The domino you gave him appeared in the hands of a kid named Qingfeng. They should have come together." Thinking of what the naughty kid had done and the various records he had created in the Void God Realm, Tao Yu suddenly smiled.

If they could find the naughty kid, they in the Butian Pavilion would have no shortage of people competing for good fortune.

After all, although the kid is a bit "naughty", his strength and talent are top-notch. Being able to break the record created by Shi Yi of Wuwang Mansion is enough to show how powerful he is. He is definitely a peerless genius.

When talking about the naughty kid, Xia Youyu also smiled.

It was she who decided to give the dominoes to the naughty kid. As expected, the kid joined their Butian Pavilion. It had to be said that this was a huge gain.

The choice made back then was undoubtedly extremely correct.

Perhaps the future of Butian Pavilion will be changed because of that naughty kid.

However, compared to Tuoba Yaoyang who has already grown up, the naughty kid is still too young.

After the two chatted about the topic of naughty children for a while, Tao Yu asked seriously: "Junior sister, are you sure that the Tuoba Yaoyang we met in the wilderness has no relationship with the Tuoba tribe?"

The Tuoba clan mentioned by Tao Yu is a top force in the wilderness.

Their clan once planned to establish a country in ancient times. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened before the country was established, and a major event occurred that shook their foundation.

Their sacrificial spirits were killed by the sacrificial vines of the Butian Pavilion, causing the clan to decline.

Now, after a long period of recovery, the Tuoba tribe has become strong again and regards the Butian Pavilion as its mortal enemy.

Xia Youyu shook her head and said, "Tuoba Yaoyang has nothing to do with the Tuoba clan. He comes from a human king family, and he has a very strong bloodline that makes people want to worship him. That kind of very strong bloodline is definitely not something the Tuoba clan can possess. If the Tuoba clan had that kind of bloodline, our Butian Pavilion would have been destroyed in the ancient times."

If she had not seen with her own eyes Li Zhi jump into the Taiyin Spring to practice, and leak out some of his original qi and blood while practicing boxing, causing her and her uncle to feel the suppression that seemed to come from their blood, at that moment it was as if they were meeting a true leader of the human race.

Just a trace of original energy leaked out from the blood and qi seemed to contain the grand energy of the master of the human race, which was supreme.

I really can’t imagine how powerful that bloodline would be if it were fully unleashed.

The suppressive force that comes from deep in the blood is unforgettable, just like the difference between an ancient relic and a pure-blooded beast.

At that moment, an indelible mark was planted in Xia Youyu's heart.

It turns out that among the vast human race, there really exists a mysterious bloodline of the Human King.

Moreover, that kind of golden energy and blood power seemed to be even stronger than the energy and blood of the pure-blooded beasts on the ancient sacred mountain.

In her opinion, if Tuoba Yaoyang could represent their Butian Pavilion to fight in Baiduan Mountain, the pure-blooded beast cubs coming down from the ancient sacred mountain would not be able to compete with them. By then, there would be a great chance that they could bring out the Fountain of Youth from Baiduan Mountain and restore the youth of the sacrifice spirit.

By then, the difficulties they were facing in Butian Pavilion would be easily resolved.

Finally, Xia Youyu said, "Brother Tao, if you have time, please keep an eye on him for me. I have a feeling that Tuoba Yaoyang will not give up the opportunity to enter Baiduan Mountain."

Tao Yu frowned and said, "Junior sister, let's not pin the future of our Butian Pavilion on outsiders. It is more important for you and me to practice hard than for Tuoba Yaoyang to come."

Tao Yu felt somewhat unhappy about Li Zhi, whom Xia Youyu could never forget.
