Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 521: Someone from the Forbidden Zone
Deep in the vast uninhabited area, the nameless fairy mountain has completely changed with the arrival of Li Zhi. The mountains within a million miles have completely changed their appearance.

After the ancient immortal war, all the evil spirits left behind were purified, and the remaining immortal magic arrays were directly suppressed, allowing the mountains and rivers to regain their former vitality.

Although he did not deliberately do anything, the Immortal King's daily breathing could affect the operation of the heaven and earth. The place where the Immortal King lived would naturally become sacred as the Immortal King breathed in the most original essence between heaven and earth.

Even the ignorant and ferocious beasts living in that area regained their spiritual clarity under the cleansing of the pure immortal spirit.

Realizing that a supreme being had come into the mountain, they all bowed towards the Taoist temple where Li Zhi lived.

However, Li Zhi ignored them and allowed them to continue living in this area.

After several days of sorting out, Li Zhi finally figured out the general experience of the Golden Dragon incarnation in the ancient era of immortals.

He was sent back to the early years of the ancient times, to the place where the incarnation of the golden dragon descended, which was also the ancestral land of the time beast clan.

Fortunately, the Red King was traveling in the Boundary Sea at that time, allowing the Golden Dragon incarnation to avoid the embarrassing moment of meeting the Red King.

Then, the incarnation of the golden dragon directly devoured the strange creature, Time Plankton, which the Red King had worked so hard to cultivate.

As a result, he gained the supernatural power to travel through the long river of time with his mind. Although he could only travel a short distance in the long river of time, it also helped the Golden Dragon incarnation to accumulate spiritual power.

Fearing that he would be blocked by the Red King in a foreign land, the incarnation of the Golden Dragon came from a foreign land to the primitive ancient world.

It rose rapidly in the ancient world, and its rapid growth rate shocked many Immortal Kings at the time.

The Golden Dragon even traveled to various realms and collected nine different types of immortal king techniques from dragon clans.

Among them are the famous True Dragon Clan's True Dragon Magic, the Primitive Dragon Clan's Magic, the Dark Demon Dragon Clan's Magic, the Yinglong Clan's Magic, the Golden Dragon Clan's Magic, and the magical Holy Spirit Dragon Clan's Magic. He even unearthed the Immortal King Magic of the Canglong Clan, which originated from the period when the emperor fell, in the ruins.

In the end, the Golden Dragon evolved all the dragon and sub-dragon magic that he controlled from the source according to the practice concepts of the Divine Induction and Transcendence chapters of "The Original True Explanation" and finally integrated all the dragon magic to create the Ancestral Dragon Magic that shocked the world.

It was precisely by relying on the extraordinary power of the Ancestral Dragon's magic that the Golden Dragon was able to fuse the nine-colored true blood in his body and seize the opportunity to defeat the king and become the emperor.

Also because he understood that his own true spirit was not complete, the Golden Dragon did not try the normal method of breaking through the king to become the emperor when he first broke through the king to become the emperor.

Instead, he took another approach and followed the example of the Ten Evils, intending to first upgrade his physical body to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

However, he still underestimated the difficulty of defeating a king and becoming an emperor, and he failed the first time as expected.

Although he was not like the butcher and others who failed in defeating the king and becoming the emperor, he still achieved the glory of a quasi-immortal emperor.

But it also allowed part of the body to be sublimated.

Butchers, chicken farmers, and fake medicine sellers, these people who surpassed the peak of the Immortal King, all tried to break the king and become emperors, but all failed. No matter how hard they tried, they could not step into the realm of quasi-Immortal Emperors.

Although they all failed, they did not gain nothing. At least their cultivation had been transformed and surpassed that of the Immortal King.

The quasi-immortal emperor's aura surrounding his body is the best example.

After sorting out the memories of the Golden Dragon, Li Zhi also realized that in order to defeat the king and become an emperor, he must first find his bodies scattered throughout the worlds.

It is even possible that one will have to face the incarnation of the golden dragon that has fallen into darkness.

After all, his second attempt to defeat the king and become the emperor was interfered by the joint efforts of the ancient artifacts of the origin of the alien realm and the burial realm.

Only by using three super-immortal weapons that surpassed the magical weapons of the Immortal King and the giants could the uncontaminated soul be freed from darkness.

And the three magical weapons that were refined using part of his flesh and blood and that surpassed the magical weapons of the Immortal King were also lost in the process.

Among them, the Yin-Exploring Shovel was the first to be lost, followed by the Double Dragon Mace, and finally when his true soul entered the primitive ancient world, only the golden dragon armor was left to protect him.

However, after his true soul hid in the Three Lifetimes Bronze Coffin, the Golden Dragon Armor was also lost.

Fortunately, according to his memory, the golden dragon armor was lost after he entered the Three Lives Bronze Coffin for refuge, and it is very likely that it is still somewhere in the nine heavens and ten earths.

Or maybe it was hidden away by someone.

Through calculations, Li Zhi could only sense that it was still somewhere in the Three Thousand Dao States. As for where exactly it was, the secret was so obscure that it could not be calculated at all.

Moreover, Li Zhi also discovered that the style of the Thunder Emperor's armor recorded in the classics of the Supreme Hall was extremely similar to the style of the golden dragon armor in the memory of the Golden Dragon's true soul, as if they were armor made according to the same mold.

"It seems that if we want to retrieve the body of the Golden Dragon, we have to go to the Foreign Land and the Burial Land. I don't know whether the incarnation of the Golden Dragon has fallen into darkness or been suppressed." Li Zhi was a little worried.

It would be fine if he was suppressed, but if he fell into darkness, he might not be able to take him down with his current level of ability.

After all, he tried twice to defeat the king and become the emperor, which shows how powerful the accumulation of the Golden Dragon incarnation is.

However, he relied on the pure yang dragon energy contained in the heroic spirit to resolve the hidden dangers in his body and increase his Taoism to the ultimate level of Immortal King.

But above the supreme immortal king there is an immortal king giant, and above the immortal king giant there is the pinnacle immortal king.

It is not easy to break through each realm.

Otherwise, most of the immortal kings who have lived for countless epochs would not remain at the level of the Supreme Immortal King without making any progress. For example, the immortal king Ao Sheng, the king Pan and other veteran immortal kings in the immortal realm have all stayed at the level of the Supreme Immortal King for countless years.

Moreover, the supreme immortal king does not have the ability to force his way into a foreign land.

In the foreign land, there are not only a group of ordinary immortal kings, but also several giants.

In the ancient battle between immortals, the Immortal King Wuzhong, the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the True Dragon, who were all giants in the nine heavens and ten earths, were all killed in the battle because they were outnumbered.

Among all living beings who are able to cultivate to the realm of Immortal King, even though there are certain differences in their cultivation talents, these differences are extremely small.

In the realm of Immortal King, there is no such thing as being invincible in the same level.

If one wants to kill the Immortal King, the difference in Taoism between the two must be widened to a certain extent.

If a supreme immortal king wants to kill an ordinary immortal king, it will take a long time to completely wipe out the ordinary immortal king.

Only a giant-level Immortal King who has gone very deep and far in this field can kill an ordinary Immortal King in battle.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Zhi suddenly felt that the heroic spirit transformed from the remaining true soul of the Golden Dragon could actually sense his original aura and come to him personally. Then if the Golden Dragon's body was born with intelligence again, it might also be able to sense his existence.

"It seems that even though I have regained my freedom, it is still not advisable for me to act personally." Li Zhi sighed in his heart.

It has to be said that fateful encounters are all influenced by the power of cause and effect.

Meeting the Tuoba siblings and the ancient girl with double pupils was not a coincidence, but an investment. The goal was to allow them to grow up and find their "bodies" scattered around the world for him.

Whether it is the double dragon mace transformed from dragon horns, the golden armor transformed from dragon scales, or the Yin-probing shovel transformed from dragon claws, they are all things that need to be retrieved.

Li Zhi vaguely felt that if he wanted to defeat the king and become the emperor, he would need them.

Afterwards, Li Zhi cast a spell to re-condense the spiritual intelligence born from the heroic spirit of the golden dragon.

The newly condensed little dragon saw Li Zhi and immediately said happily: "I am resurrected again?"

"You and I are one. I am immortal, so how could you disappear?" Li Zhi said.

Now, the relationship between Minilong and Li Zhi is similar to the relationship between Xiaonannan and the Henren Emperor.

Although they were originally one, the ruthless emperor endowed the little girl with independent wisdom.

But soon, the mini golden dragon called out: "Where is my cultivation?"

Although he was just a heroic spirit transformed from his true soul before, because the nature of his true soul was high enough, he was considered a creature at the level of an Immortal King, and could even display the true magical powers of an Immortal King.

But now, he found that all his skills were empty and only pure wisdom remained.

"Your cultivation will naturally be integrated into my body." Li Zhi smiled happily.

"You don't want me to help you perfect the Shinto practice system based on the laws of this world, do you?" The mini dragon saw Li Zhi's micro-expression and knew that his original body was going to be lazy again.

"I will perfect the Shinto practice system based on the laws of this world. Your main purpose is to become the sacrificial spirit of the ancient country established by Tuoba Yaoyang. At the same time, you should practice the spirit practice system I created and accumulate the fruits of the Immortal King's Taoism of this world." Li Zhi said.

"If it's just a simple training, I will accept this task." The mini dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they are the same person, they have independent consciousness and naturally have independent feelings. In order to create the Ancestral Dragon Treasure Technique, the Golden Dragon Incarnation has already endured the power of the creation calamity once, and deeply understands the hardships and sufferings involved. He doesn't want to go through it again after returning to his original body.

Afterwards, Li Zhi forced out a drop of pure blood of the Immortal King without any rules, and recast a dragon body for the mini golden dragon.

Then the mini golden dragon began to rebuild the Dharma of this world in front of Li Zhi.

The Blood Moving Realm awakens the spirituality of flesh and blood and cultivates the one-yuan divine power.

The Cave Heaven Realm opens up the Zhoutian acupoints and disperses the origin of all the Cave Heavens into all the acupoints. By cultivating a perfect Zhoutian Cave Heaven, one can draw the spirituality of heaven and earth into the body at any place.

In the spiritual transformation realm, all of one's spirituality is materialized, nurturing a spiritual body that is fused with the physical body.

In the Inscription Realm, the Dao runes are engraved to allow the spiritual body to possess the aura of all the heavens and myriad ways.

In the array realm, the runes in the body were arranged and combined to form the Pangu True Body Array, which was sublimated from the Chengdu Heavenly God Array and the Zhoutian Star Array. It seemed as if all the three thousand great ways had their traces in the body.

In the realm of the Venerable, the unity of body and soul is achieved, and the sublimation of various attributes is realized.

In the end, the mini dragon's cultivation level remained at the peak of the Venerable level.

After the mini dragon, who was enjoying the pleasure of ascending to Taoism, woke up, he asked directly: "Why did it stop?"

"Next, you will follow Tuoba Yaoyang to the ancient secret world of immortals. It is not advisable to continue to improve your Taoism." Li Zhi said.

"I want to go too?" said the mini dragon.

"I suspect that the golden dragon armor might have been lost in the ancient secret world of immortals." Li Zhi said.

After all, the Daluo Sword Embryo of the Corpse Immortal Emperor was left in the ancient secret realm of the Immortal. Li Zhi had enough reason to suspect that the Golden Dragon Armor was also in it, rather than being in the hands of the master of some forbidden area.

"Alas, I was born to work hard." Mini Dragon said sadly.

Then, he was flicked away by Li Zhi's finger and flew directly across endless time and space to Tuoba Yaoyang.

At the same time, a mysterious ancient ship sailing from a life forbidden zone in the Nine Heavens was crossing the endless void and heading towards the direction of Three Thousand Dao States.

The ancient ship is three hundred feet long and sixty feet wide. It is equipped with pavilions and towers, and its carved beams and painted buildings make it look particularly simple and ancient.

In the center of the ancient ship, a sail engraved with a flying Kunpeng exudes a strong fairy air, covering the entire ship. It not only isolates the breath inside and outside, but also allows it to cross the void at an extremely fast speed.

However, inside the ancient ship, in the huge cabin, there was no bustling scene of people coming and going. Only more than ten monks were sitting there quietly.

However, the auras of these cultivators were exceptionally strong, and even the weakest among them exuded the aura of a god.

The middle-aged man in the lead exuded a strong aura of supremacy.

"Sir, we are almost at Three Thousand Dao States." Soon, a cultivator in the Void Dao realm spoke to report to the Supreme.

"Sir, our number is limited, and there are vast uninhabited areas in the Three Thousand Dao States. There are still remnants of immortal laws in many places. It may be difficult to find the relics of the Ancestral Dragon relying solely on our strength." Another cultivator at the Zhanwo realm spoke up.

"Don't worry about not having enough manpower. When the time comes, we can directly recruit the sects in the lower realm and ask them to help us find the relics of the Ancestral Dragon. With our strength, which sect dares not obey our orders?" Another great monk in the first realm of escape said confidently.

As for the remaining disciples at the God level, they did not even have the qualifications to speak. They just sat there quietly waiting for the middle-aged supreme to give orders.

After a long time, the Supreme said, "You must not underestimate the Three Thousand Dao States. Although this place is not as prosperous as the Nine Heavens, there are many hidden immortal masters. Moreover, this place was the place where the Ancestral Dragon rose to power. Even the Ancestral Master cannot know how many secrets are hidden here. There are still immortal figures lurking in some sects. They are not as weak as you think."

Since the beginning of this era, every once in a while someone in the Three Thousand Dao States would try to overcome the tribulation of becoming an immortal, which was unimaginable in other places.

There were even several times when those who were undergoing the tribulation had already passed the thunder tribulation of becoming an immortal and were about to become true immortals, but in the end they still fell in front of the weirdness.

The qualifications of those people amazed all the True Immortals in the restricted area.

Even the True Immortals in the restricted area said during discussions that if there was an Immortal King willing to protect those people, half of them would have a 100% chance of becoming True Immortals.

It’s just that the major restricted areas are isolated from the world and will not interfere with outside affairs, and they will treat the experiences of those people with a cold eye.

Although the middle-aged man has been the supreme being for tens of thousands of years, he does not dare to underestimate the people of the three thousand Dao states in the lower realm.

In ancient times, there was a true immortal in the restricted area who died in one of the three thousand Dao states in the lower realm when he went out.

Moreover, the desolate borderland of Sanqian Daozhou borders foreign lands and has an original imperial city. It is not as weak as it seems.

The more powerful the creature, the more awe it has for the Three Thousand Dao States.

Even though they came from the life forbidden zone in the Ninth Heaven, they had no right to be arrogant.

Especially since the purpose of their trip is to find the relics of the Ancestral Dragon.

The Ancestral Dragon is an almighty being that even the ancestors within their restricted area fear.

The reason why no true immortals were sent to the mortal world to search for the relics of the Ancestral Dragon was to prevent any accidents from happening.

Even in the mind of the middle-aged supreme being, after arriving in the Three Thousand Dao States, the task of finding the relics of the Ancestral Dragon would be mainly entrusted to the disciples in the realm of heavenly gods.

Sometimes, the stronger you are, it is not the case that the easier it is to find things.

On the contrary, cultivators who are not very powerful are often more likely to encounter what they want by chance.

This time when he came to the mortal world, he had no plan to do anything himself, and he mainly relied on the three leader-level monks and the ten celestial god-level disciples who had joined him.

After passing through numerous voids, they finally entered the heaven and earth where the Three Thousand Dao States were located.

Li Zhi, who was sitting deep in the no-man's land, immediately noticed the ancient ship.

However, after seeing the cultivation level of the monks on the boat, he ignored those people.

Sitting in the Taoist temple, he continued to perfect the subsequent practice methods of this world's Dharma.

It was not an easy task to merge the way of worshipping spirits with the laws of this world to create his own Shinto practice system.

Even if Li Zhi did it himself, and had the methods of this world and the methods of offering sacrifices to spirits as reference, there were still many details that needed to be resolved.

Now that the present-worldly Dharma has been cultivated to the supreme level, the path ahead is cut off.

There is no system after becoming an immortal.

In other words, the upper limit of the worldly laws circulating in this world is just to enable people to become true immortals.

If one wants to become an Immortal King, one must switch to other systems after becoming an Immortal, or rely on one's own talents to forcibly attain enlightenment and connect the broken path, and eventually become an Immortal King.

Just like the secret realm methods that have been passed down to later generations, there are only methods of cultivation in the human realm, but no cultivation scriptures in the immortal realm.

If one wants to become an immortal in the mortal world, one must rely on one's own extraordinary talent for cultivation and connect the broken path.

Moreover, in Li Zhi's eyes, the current worldly practice system is full of loopholes and various flaws.

As a result, it is very difficult for cultivators to use this system to become the Supreme Being of Humanity.

Logically speaking, this should not be the case.

Even though the great way of the nine heavens and ten earths is imperfect, there is rich immortal substance between heaven and earth that can produce miraculous medicines and even immortal medicines.

Although the environment for practicing Taoism is not as good as that in the ancient times of immortals, it is still far better than that in later generations.

However, since the number of human supreme beings is so small, we cannot simply blame the lack of talent in cultivation of all living beings in the world.

There must be something wrong with the cultivation system that led to this result.

The shattered heaven and earth made it impossible to practice the ancient immortal methods, and the modern worldly methods were extremely crude.

This ultimately led to the current situation.

It is truly sad to have cultivation resources but not an efficient cultivation system to match them.
