Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 506 Flesh becomes spirit
"Comfortable."

After more than twenty days of hard practice, Li Zhi finally achieved his set goal. Although there were some minor incidents in the middle, they were not a big problem.

After opening up twelve caves, he gained a magical ability, as if he had broken the boundary between heaven and man and could enter the realm of harmony between heaven and man at any time.

It seems that as long as you stand within the world, there will never be a moment when your energy is exhausted.

But Li Zhi knew that this was not enough, and this was not the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm.

In his deduction, the true limit of the cave heaven is that the 365 acupoints in the Zhoutian are also transformed into cave heaven, becoming an immortal channel that can communicate between the inside and the outside.

From being the Son of Heaven in one domain or one world, he became the Son of all heavens and myriad worlds, and even the Son of God.

By then, no matter which world he goes to, his efficiency in absorbing the essence of the outside world will not be compromised.

However, due to the limitations of the environment of heaven and earth, he is currently unable to achieve the final sublimation of the cave heaven.

Although the environment of heaven and earth and the strength of the laws of the Dao within the Baiduan Mountain small world are not much different from the three thousand Dao states in the upper realm, it is not enough for him to break through again.

Moreover, Tuoba Yaoyang's body would not allow him to continue breaking through.

As a descendant of the Seven Kings of the Borderland, Tuoba Yaoyang's potential can be described as unfathomable, and no worse than the children of imperial families in foreign lands. However, not all descendants of Immortal Kings possess Shi Hao's potential with almost no upper limit.

Twelve caves were opened up in the cave realm, which was almost comparable to the only cave of Emperor Huangtian in terms of the level of surpassing the extreme realm.

Moreover, after completing the transformation, the growth of his Taoism did not stop, but directly broke into the spiritual transformation realm.

It is a one-step process to transform the physical body into the spiritual body.

Normally speaking, it is impossible for a cultivator to jump directly from the Cave Heaven Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly.

However, Li Zhi was different. His accumulation in the Cave Heaven Realm was already strong enough, and Tuoba Yaoyang's body had been tempered with special spirituality early on.

Now, under the stimulation of dark matter, the most original spirituality of the physical body has been activated, thus completing the first stage of spiritual practice in one fell swoop.

It even directly surpassed the limit of the legend.

In this world, the practice of Dharma is above the Cave Heaven Realm to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, which is also the last realm in the three steps of foundation building.

The practice of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is also divided into three stages. The first stage is the transformation of the physical body into a spirit, the second stage is the spiritual reshaping of the true self, and the third stage is nurturing the spirit in a cave.

The state of spiritual transformation. The word “transformation” reveals the true meaning of this state. It can evolve, reshape and recreate.

However, this realm is extremely magical. It is almost impossible to reach the extreme, or surpass the extreme. Even approaching the legendary level is very difficult.

Although all monks know that this is a very critical state, they often pass through this state without realizing it.

To put it simply, the spiritual transformation realm is to tap into the various spiritual qualities within oneself, thereby transforming and reshaping every aspect of oneself, and finally transforming oneself from flesh and blood to spirit into a form suitable for practicing Taoism.

When one reaches the ultimate state of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, one can even evolve into various kinds of Tao bodies.

One can even evolve one's own Tao body to a level beyond the first generation.

In the perfect time and space, those first generations who possess innate runes in their bodies are special Tao bodies. They have greater advantages than ordinary people in their practice in the spiritual transformation realm.

If the Cave Heaven Realm is the foundation, and being able to open up several Cave Heavens represents a potential, then the Spiritual Transformation Realm is to reshape on the basis of this potential, thereby giving the "true self" wings to take off.

The cultivation of this realm cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

However, any acquired spirituality cannot compare to the spirituality that can give birth to the soul.

If ordinary cultivators activate their spirituality and reshape their true selves, they can make the runes in their bodies move closer to the great forms of other powerful creatures.

Li Zhi used dark matter to forcibly stimulate the original spirituality in Tuoba Yaoyang's flesh and blood, which was a process of "creating humans".

Moreover, after this "person" completed his mission, he transformed into the most original spirituality and integrated into the flesh and blood.

This makes Shen Xi in his flesh and blood full of "humanity".

This kind of "human nature" is equivalent to the innate spirituality contained in all things in heaven and earth.

Instead of trying to become spiritual like other species, it is better to strengthen the existing spirituality on the basis of the existing one.

After completing the transformation of his physical body into a spirit, Li Zhi discovered that the power of the Human King's magic had increased by more than ten times, and the divine power in his body had become more condensed.

Not only did he surpass the limit of the Cave Heaven Realm, but he also got on the right track in the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

This made Li Zhi feel good.

But just as he was about to leave that barren area and go to other rich places for a good meal, the whole small world suddenly shook.

"Boom!"

It seemed as if heaven and earth had collided. The huge explosion broke the tranquility of the night and made everyone realize that Baiduan Mountain had changed again.

"The exit is finally opening and we can go home."

When Li Zhi met a group of human teenagers, those teenagers excitedly celebrated with each other.

"It's so terrible. Of the living beings that entered this world, only one in ten is left alive." Someone said with fear on his face.

"My friend, can you tell me what has happened during this period of time?" Li Zhi walked up to those people and asked.

"Who are you?" The group of boys and girls were like frightened rabbits. After seeing Li Zhi, they subconsciously wanted to run away.

"I'm a passer-by. I had been in seclusion before. I had been planning to hunt a few pure-blooded ferocious beasts as a midnight snack, but I never thought that I would arrive at the time when the exit was opened." Li Zhi said.

"Are you in cahoots with that naughty kid?" A young girl asked curiously when she heard that Li Zhi actually had a pure-blooded beast as a midnight snack.

"Do you know him?" Li Zhize asked.

"We know him, but he doesn't know us. A few days ago we saw him hunting down pure-blooded beasts everywhere, and he even stewed more than a dozen pure-blooded beasts in one pot. He was very cruel." There was a hint of desire in the girl's eyes.

Pure-blooded ferocious beasts are extremely nutritious.

That is to say, in Baiduan Mountain, they have the opportunity to taste each other, but in the outside world, there will be no such opportunity.

"Wait a moment." Seeing that the others also showed eager expressions, Li Zhi said, "I'll go prepare some food, and we can eat and talk at the same time."

Then, Li Zhi suddenly disappeared from their sight.

"Who is this person? Which force does he belong to?" After Li Zhi left, the group of young men started asking each other.

But no one knew Li Zhi's identity and origin.

"He doesn't look like a genius from our Fire Country, nor does he look like a genius from the major royal palaces of the Stone Country. Perhaps he is a disciple from a hidden family." Someone said after thinking for a moment.

Before they could even chat for a few words, Li Zhi returned carrying a dragon and a phoenix.

"Time is limited, and we can only find these two pure-blooded beasts. Let's just make do with them for a meal." Li Zhi said to the young men with a smile.

"I know this dragon. He is the descendant of Lord Jiao." A young man said in shock.

"This phoenix is ​​a pure-blooded ferocious beast from the ancient sacred mountain." A young girl said in surprise.

Li Zhi directly took out the Void Divine Gold Pot and stewed the dragon and the phoenix into a pot of dragon and phoenix stew to entertain the young men.

During this period, Li Zhi learned from them about the various major events that had occurred in Baiduan Mountain in the past month.

The most famous events are Baicao Garden, Tiangu Forbidden Area, and what happened near Fenbao Cliff.

Of course, there are some young people with outstanding achievements.

Among them are naughty kids who treat pure-blooded beasts as food, as well as human race prodigies such as Shi Yi from the Wuwang Mansion of the Shi Kingdom.

The performances of the other races' geniuses were not as impressive as theirs. And the thing that they missed the most was the Heavenly Bone in the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone.

Everyone is saying that the Heavenly Bone has appeared, but no one knows who took it away.

"Brother Tuoba, do you know who took the Heavenly Bone?" the last girl asked Li Zhi.

"The original precious bone of the Qilin is still there, and it will not be taken away by anyone." Li Zhi said.

Although it is unknown how long the bone can hold on, Pu Mowang may wake up at any time. Once he wakes up, the bone will have exhausted its last bit of strength.

This is almost irreversible, even if a true immortal came, it would be useless.

Unless a true Immortal King descends to this world and continues to suppress Demon King Pu, the other party's revival is an established fact.

When everyone saw Li Zhi being so confident, they felt something was strange, but they couldn't tell what was strange.

But they all knew one thing, that is, the small world was about to open, and the danger they faced not only did not decrease, but became more and more severe.

Not only will outsiders hunt each other and seize each other's fortunes.

Those natives will also carry out a final frenzy of killing to obtain fresh blood food.

It is even possible that a strong man will appear, block the way out, and hunt everyone indiscriminately.

Although the exit of Baiduan Mountain is large, it is very small for those local strong men.

Baiduan Mountain restricts the age of outsiders, but does not restrict the level of cultivation of the indigenous creatures.

The actual carrying capacity limit of this small world is higher than that of the wilderness outside.

Even if a master of the first level of escape fights in this world, there is no need to worry about breaking this world.

Although there is suppression by formations, there are always some areas where the suppression effect of the formations is weak.

Especially after Li Zhi triggered two extreme catastrophes, even the magic arrays in some areas were directly damaged.

Whether it was the thunder tribulation that exceeded the limits of heaven and earth, or the dark erosion that followed, these were not things that this small world could completely withstand.

The dark power that comes from the ancient artifact of origin may not be able to be completely purified even by the Immortal King.

What’s more, this is a supreme little world.

Just as Li Zhi and a group of teenagers were enjoying the delicious food before leaving, the killing in the small world reached its climax.

Regardless of race, strength or weakness, almost everyone is going through their final frenzy.

In this feast of killing, many geniuses from various races were killed.

Even many geniuses who have opened up the Nine Caves of Heaven still cannot escape the fate of being hunted.

In the end, less than 10% of people survived.

And most of them were like the young men opposite Li Zhi. After finding the luck they needed, they hid themselves in time.

"Brother Tuoba, after leaving Baiduan Mountain, are you interested in joining our Zhulu Academy?"

When the morning sun shone on the earth, a girl from Zhulu Academy extended an invitation to Li Zhi.

A dragon and phoenix stew in the evening made them glow all over, and their cultivation was greatly improved as a result.

"Thank you for your kindness. But after I go out, I still have things to do, so I won't cause trouble for your academy." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"That's such a pity." The girl said somewhat disappointedly.

"Brother Tuoba, you can come to visit our Fire Country when you have time. My family lives in the imperial capital. When the time comes, I will treat you to the special food of our Fire Country." A young man from the Fire Country said.

"I'll go when I have time." Li Zhi nodded.

Then he said goodbye to those young men.

There is still a day or two before the channel opens, and Li Zhi thinks he should go to some places for a visit.

After all, once we leave Baiduan Mountain this time, we will never return here again.

Before this, in order to practice, he did not waste any time, nor did he travel around this small world.

For example, he has never visited Fenbao Cliff.

It would be too hasty if we don’t check in at Fenbao Cliff while there is still some time.

Auspicious clouds rose under his feet, carrying Li Zhi towards the area where the Fenbao Cliff was located.

Fenbao Cliff is majestic and towering into the clouds. There is a strip of black fog lingering on the mountain, just like an ancient devil mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

An ancient road leads to the mountain, paved with bluestone, full of the vicissitudes of time.

At this time, no living creature went to the Treasure Fen Cliff to collect the treasures.

Li Zhi walked smoothly along the ancient bluestone path to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was vast, like a plateau.

A forest of stones stood on the top of the mountain, with various shapes, just like various treasures that had been petrified.

Near the stone forest, there is an ancient stele with a few lines of words engraved on it, warning people not to make noise here and disturb the slumber of the saints, and not to destroy and ruin the Treasure Dividing Cliff.

The fresh bloodstains on the ground clearly illustrate the fate of those who do not obey the warnings on the stone tablet.

Almost all the geniuses who entered this world this time had checked in here, but there were very few treasures that could be taken away by them.

All the treasures that could be collected have already been taken away.

Li Zhi walked around the stone forest and then sat down in front of the ancient stele.

In an instant, he entered a state of unity between man and nature.

To others, Fenbao Cliff was a place where the weapons of the saints were displayed, but to Li Zhi, it was clearly a mountain for raising soldiers.

Its original effect is definitely not the same as those petrified weapons on the top of Wenyang Mountain. This place was most likely where the Immortal King's weapons were stored in the past.

I just don't know whether what was stored here was the Bell of Eternity or the Disk of Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Li Zhi, who has entered a state of unity between man and nature, is able to capture the imprints of various origins of the great Dao.

After merging with the Fenbao Cliff, Li Zhi felt a sense of sadness from the mountain.

Each petrified treasure seemed to contain a hint of unwillingness.

In the end, those reluctances turned into helplessness.

In a trance, a scripture on raising soldiers emerged in his mind. It seemed to be a method that could greatly enhance the spirituality and power of magical weapons.

It seems that through this method, weapons can become independent individuals with the ability to grow independently.

Li Zhi kept it firmly in his heart.

One can vaguely guess that the small tower following Shi Hao was here to repair his broken spiritual consciousness, and truly open up his spiritual intelligence, turning into a special life form.

As a result, they have the ability to become stronger through independent practice, just like other living beings.

After all, the small tower was not a real living thing before, but just a man-made weapon.

It is precisely because it has received good fortune here and turned into a living creature similar to a life form that it can continue to evolve and upgrade as a weapon.
