Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 509: The Ancient Holy Academy Shapes My True Self

The wilderness is endless and the mountains are limitless.

The areas where various ethnic groups live are all surrounded by dense primeval forests. The few scattered ancient countries, even if they have hundreds of millions of lives, are just some embellishments in the wilderness.

This is the Wilderness, a realm filled with wildness. From ancient times to the present, no force has been able to completely control the Wilderness.

Not only the Venerable, but also the gods can do it. Even the gods in heaven can only act according to the laws of the wilderness.

Borrowing the treasure of Butian Pavilion from Tao Ye, Li Zhi returned to Butian Pavilion with a group of people from Butian Pavilion.

The leader of Butian Pavilion was immediately alarmed.

The Pavilion Master, who seemed like a god, did not have the authority of an ordinary leader of a large sect. Instead, he gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

He even told Xiaobudian and others to learn more and warned them that there would be chaos in the wilderness in the near future.

It is no longer a secret to most forces that the leaders of the upper realm regularly descend to the mortal world to harvest the ancient relics that possess the blood of heavenly beasts, as well as those spiritual medicines that are qualified to grow into sacred treasures.

Even the vast majority of creatures in the wilderness that had ignited the divine fire had all fled to other realms or hidden in this place in order to avoid being caught as prey when the next catastrophe came.

After meeting Xiaobudian and others, the Pavilion Master specially invited Li Zhi to the important area of ​​Butian Pavilion.

That is the place where the gourd vine for sacrificial spirits is located.

It was a dilapidated garden. Although it was lush with vegetation and full of vitality, it gave people a feeling of decrepitude.

Behind several collapsed courtyards, there is a gourd vine growing.

He is the sacrificial spirit of the Butian Pavilion and also a dying being.

However, with collapsed courtyards, randomly piled rubble and overgrown weeds, it is hard to imagine that this is a forbidden area of ​​ancient pure land.

However, amidst the ruins, there was a blazing divine light that submerged the backyard, as if a powerful deity was seizing the essence of the sun and the moon.

However, behind the blazing light curtain, the true body of the gourd vine seemed somewhat out of tune with that momentum. Its entire body was dry, its leaves were yellow, and there was no divine light shining from it. It seemed like it was about to dry up and die.

"Young friend Tuoba, do you have any way to save the sacrificial spirits of our Butian Pavilion?" A hint of expectation flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Butian Pavilion, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi disappointed him and shook his head and said, "It has already run out of energy. Even if it is planted in a real fairy spring, it will not be revived. If it does not become a living spirit, it will eventually run out of energy and return to extinction."

"Is it possible that even you have no solution?" Xia Youyu said from the side.

"There is a way. It's a pity that you can't do it, and I can't do it now either. There's no point in saying more." Li Zhi stared at the gourds on the gourd vine and couldn't help wondering if it could produce seven gourd babies.

"No matter what method we use, we must give it a try, even if we can't do it." said the leader of Butian Pavilion.

"Please ask a cultivator above the supreme level to use his own Dao fire to rekindle the divine fire, let it burn away all decay and be reborn in Nirvana." Li Zhi said.

"Okay, you don't have to make things difficult for this young man because of my affairs. He is right, my life span has run out, and if I want to continue living, I can only rely on myself. No external force can bring me back to youth." At this time, the sacrificial spirit of the Butian Pavilion spoke.

"This is a drop of divine liquid from the fairy spring. You can use it to extend the life of this senior who offers sacrifices to the spirit, or you can use it to refine an astonishing divine elixir to lay the foundation for the genius of your Butian Pavilion. As for which choice to make, it's up to you." Li Zhi took out a drop of divine liquid from the fairy spring.

Although he consumed nine drops of divine liquid at once in order to open the eleventh cave at the Fountain of Youth on Baiduan Mountain, he still had five drops of divine liquid left in his hands.

Giving a drop of divine liquid to the Butian Pavilion in exchange for the qualification to enter the Ancient Holy Academy is also a good choice.

“Take it. The transforming divine liquid from the Fountain of Youth has a miraculous effect on the growth of the divine seed. After I pass away, I will leave behind the divine seed. When it grows up in the future, it can replace me as the new generation of sacrificial spirit in the Pure Land.” Just when the Lord of the Butian Pavilion was hesitant, the sacrificial spirit transmitted a message to him.

He didn't have much time left to protect the Butian Pavilion. Originally, he didn't plan to leave his divine seed behind. After all, his divine seed would be the source of chaos for the weak Butian Pavilion.

But now, when the Butian Pavilion was about to die, it encountered people with extraordinary talents one after another, which made it realize that the Butian Pavilion’s fate was not over yet.

Even if there is a temporary decline, there will still be a chance for recovery in the future.

Whether it was Xiaobutian or Tuoba Yaoyang, he felt like he couldn't see through them.

Even the secrets about them cannot be deduced.

“Thank you very much for being willing to share the magical liquid of the fountain of youth with our Butian Pavilion.” Finally, the leader of Butian Pavilion said.

Afterwards, Li Zhi, led by an elder, went to the entrance of the Ancient Holy Academy.

As for whether he can enter the Ancient Holy Academy, it depends on Li Zhi’s own cultivation.

After seeing Li Zhi off, the head of the Butian Pavilion asked Ji Ling again, "Master Ji Ling, can you tell the bloodline of that young friend Tuoba?"

"There is an invisible force field on his body that blocks all the aura in his body. I can't see through him, but I can feel a divine and holy aura from him. He is even more like a god than a god in heaven." said Hulusheng.

"Youyu, if possible, try to spend more time with Brother Tuoba in the future." The leader of Butian Pavilion instructed Xia Youyu.

"Child, your destiny has been changed. More contact with him will be good for your future. Perhaps you will be able to surpass the founder of your Butian Pavilion in the future." Ji Lingye said to Xia Youyu.

Before Xia Youyu used the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Pill, the elders of the Butian Pavilion first asked the spirit of sacrifice to look at the efficacy of the pill, and only after confirming that there were no side effects did they let Xia Youyu use it with confidence.

Moreover, the sacrificial spirit also saw a new aura in Xia Youyu, which was enough to allow her to grow smoothly.

All these changes occurred after Xia Youyu used the elixir given by Li Zhi.

Even if that pill is just a simplified version of the Wanling Blood Pill, it would be a big mistake to just regard it as an ordinary magic pill.

When using living beings to refine elixirs, the most important effect is not how strong the medicinal properties of the elixir are, but how much luck of those dead living beings is incorporated into the elixir.

Li Zhi, who got his start with "Stealing Heaven's Secret", knows better than anyone what it feels like to have great luck.

Therefore, when refining the All-Spirit Blood Pill, he naturally not only extracted the vitality from those living creatures, but also deprived them of their luck and integrated it into the pill.

Even if the luck that each ferocious beast retains in the end is less than one tenth of what it had when it was alive, when accumulated, it still adds up to a considerable amount of luck.

Tuoba Yaoyang possesses the blood of the Human King and is a first-generation person. He carries some human destiny, but that destiny is not enough to make him truly grow.

You must constantly seize your opponent's luck during your growth.

Just like Emperor Huang Tian, ​​killing so many talented young people from foreign lands is almost equivalent to taking away the fortune of a generation of people from foreign lands.

Although luck cannot be seen or touched, it is a real thing.

Afterwards, a mature seed suddenly flew out from the Chaos Gourd nurtured by the Sacrificial Gourd Vine.

"Give this gourd seed to Tuoba Yaoyang." Ji Ling seemed to have a premonition of something and said to the master of Butian Pavilion.

"Sir, you only want to give him one gourd seed? Otherwise, why not give him one of your precious gourds that fell off before?" The head of the Butian Pavilion said after thinking for a moment. From ancient times to the present, the gourd vine has not only produced one precious gourd on its body.

Previously in Duankong City, the yellow gourd held in the hands of Tao Ye, the elder of the Butian Pavilion, was the innate gourd magic weapon that was produced by the sacrificial spirit.

Moreover, in the treasure house of the Butian Pavilion, there are two magic gourds that have not been refined, one is a purple-skinned gourd, and the other is a white-skinned gourd. Both are embryos of magic weapons that can be used to refine the most precious treasures.

However, it has been many years since the Butian Pavilion has seen anyone so amazing who could offer sacrifices to those gourds.

"There's no need to send him those gourds, as he might not like them. And the gourd seeds I produce will definitely make him happy to accept them." The Jiling Gourd Vine thought of the strange look he had just caught in Tuoba Yaoyang's eyes, and suddenly had a feeling that perhaps their Gourd Vine clan could also grow to a level that their predecessors had not dared to imagine.

If Li Zhi knew about the Butian Pavilion's plan to offer sacrifices to the spirits, he might tell the other party that his guess was correct.

When Li Zhi saw that the sacrificial spirit in the Butian Pavilion was the gourd vine, he thought of the gourd seed that grew the seven gourd babies, and the innate gourd vine that grew on Mount Buzhou in the ancient story.

That innate gourd vine not only produced seven powerful treasure gourds, but the gourd vine itself also became the whip used by Nuwa to create human beings.

The Human Whip is a treasure acquired through merit from the human race. It has the ability to whip any human being without being affected by cause and effect.

It is not only a whip of punishment for mankind, but also a whip of creation that guides mankind to keep moving forward.

When Li Zhi received the gourd seed that exuded a strong divine aura, he immediately guessed the other party's plan.

The level to which the spiritual life of artificially planted plants can eventually grow is directly related to the masters they follow.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone can cultivate ordinary tea trees into immortal tea trees. Li Zhi naturally also has the ability to cultivate the gourd vine grown from this gourd seed into a gourd vine of the immortal level.

After receiving the gourd seeds, Li Zhi relied on his powerful strength to directly break into the small world where the Ancient Holy Academy was located.

After entering the small world where the Ancient Holy Academy was located, Li Zhi went directly to the place where the Sky-Repairing Technique was recorded.

He did not stop to comprehend the marks and methods left by the ancient saints, nor did he look for the sealed golden body liquid.

The Sky-Repairing Technique is known as the Supreme Technique, but its essence is just touching a glimpse of the truth of the Avenue of Time.

By going back in time, the monks who practice the art of repairing the sky will have a chance to make up for their regrets.

However, compared with the real Avenue of Time, the Sky-Repairing Technique is far inferior.

Whether it is the Avenue of Time of the Immortal King Wuzhong or the Avenue of Time of the Foreign Red King, neither of them can be challenged by the Sky-Repairing Technique.

After seeing the full picture of the Sky-Repairing Technique, Li Zhi lost interest in practicing it.

For a truly strong person, no matter how deeply he practices the Heaven-Repairing Art, it will be of no use. Facing an opponent that he is no match for, he will eventually be defeated.

However, in addition to the sky-repairing technique and some insights of the saints in the Ancient Holy Academy, there is also something that Li Zhi is very interested in.

That is the rich aura of the gods.

They are all the sacred power that escaped from the ancient saints after their death and before the divine fire in their bodies was extinguished.

Li Zhi set up a magic array in the ancient holy temple, gathered the sacred power, and then transformed it into sacred fire to burn himself, thus completing the second stage of spiritual practice.

The Ten Evil Kunpengs hone their disciples' spiritual foundation by using the Jiyang Cave and Xuanbing Abyss, two opposing yin and yang terrains.

However, this does not mean that there are no other means for cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm to reach the limit of this realm.

Kunpeng left behind the Yangji Cave and the Xuanbing Abyss to train future generations so that those who passed the trial would be able to plant a seed of understanding the Yin and Yang Dao in their bodies, thus qualifying them to learn Kunpeng's magic.

The body becomes spirit, then the true self is reshaped, and the soul is nurtured in the cave.

These are the names of the three realms of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and are also the levels of the ultimate realm of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Generally speaking, cultivators can only get infinitely close but cannot truly reach the ultimate state of spiritual transformation.

The difficulty of achieving the ultimate sublimation in the Spirit Transformation Realm is much more difficult than achieving transcendence in the Blood Moving Realm and the Cave Heaven Realm.

But that is for ordinary cultivators, and Li Zhi is not among them.

His practice in the first stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm went deeper and further than the physical body becoming a spirit. It could almost be said that his physical body had become a god, a god of the spirit and soul.

This is much more profound than giving the physical body a strong spiritual power.

The second stage, reshaping one's true self, was not difficult for Li Zhi.

He even used the power of the sacred fire to burn Tuoba Yaoyang's soul that was sleeping in his body, allowing his reshaped true self to infinitely tend toward the Immortal King Li Zhi's profound understanding of living things.

Under the calcination of the sacred fire, Tuoba Yaoyang's soul was repeatedly tempered, and even a lot of residue was dropped.

Li Zhi's soul was also burned repeatedly, but no "impurities" appeared.

For Li Zhi, the step of reshaping his true self can almost be skipped.

However, Tuoba Yaoyang's soul cannot skip this step, otherwise when his soul leaves this body in the future, there will be a gap between Tuoba Yaoyang's soul and this body that has been tempered by Li Zhi.

After being repeatedly tempered by the sacred fire, Tuoba Yaoyang's soul became more and more resilient, and even his form was getting closer to the soul transformed by Li Zhi's Immortal King consciousness.

It is a slow process for ordinary cultivators to reshape their true self until their spirit is in harmony with the Tao, and it becomes easier to realize the Tao, and finally reach the ultimate. This is a process that goes against the will of heaven, because it is changing the potential of cultivation.

However, this is not a problem for Li Zhi.

His spirit can be in harmony with the Tao at any time, and can even merge with all the Taos, entering the realm of unity between man and nature at any time.

Therefore, this process is mainly to temper Tuoba Yaoyang's spirit.

Even though he was sealed by Li Zhi, he looked like he was sleeping.

In fact, his consciousness was clear, as if he was in a special dream of eternal practice.

Reshaping your true self means constantly achieving self-breakthrough and nirvana, which can make the difficult path of practice wider and more stable in the future.

Just when Li Zhi was practicing with the sacred fire.

A new visitor has arrived in the Ancient Holy Temple.

The godly young boy Shi Yi, with the help of his double pupils' ability to see through illusions, forced his way into the Ancient Holy Academy.

At the same time, inside the Ancient Holy Temple, there was another creature that seemed to be attracted by the power of Shi Yi's double pupils and gradually woke up from his slumber.
