Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 549 Immortal King Giant
The original imperial city.

The immortal palace is brilliant and radiates endless truth of the great way.

The sky was bright and clear, and the energy was as abundant as the tide. The dry original imperial city was full of life again, and even flowers and plants grew near the magnificent Taoist palace.

The holy spring gushed out sweet and delicious water. A group of children played in the small pond beside the spring, thoroughly washing away the dirt on their faces.

With the supply of various spiritual fruits, the children's temperaments have become more smart and handsome.

As descendants of the king of the borderland, they have extraordinary blood. After being baptized by the pure fairy spirit, the blood power flowing in their bodies began to awaken.

Even the elderly people in the city seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

Not only did the accumulated injuries in his body heal, but his Taoist skills also improved significantly.

There were even a few old men whose Taoism levels soared dramatically after the Chen Ke in their bodies was completely eliminated, and some even directly entered the realm of the Supreme Humanity.

With the arrival of Li Zhi, the lives of the residents in the original imperial city have changed greatly.

The remains of the ferocious beasts that had been stored in the warehouse were fully utilized.

Those ferocious beasts from foreign lands contain ominous substances in their bodies. If you don’t have the ability to dissolve those ominous substances, you will get strange diseases after eating too much.

Therefore, they were previously stored in warehouses and used as energy to supply the imperial city.

The divine power contained in the bodies of those ferocious beasts is extremely abundant. If they could be utilized, their lives would not be so difficult.

However, before Li Zhi arrived, they did not have the ability to purify the ominous substances in the bodies of those ferocious beasts, and they could only remain in the warehouse and gather dust.

However, with the arrival of Li Zhi, he set up a purification array to purify the ominous substances in the bodies of those ferocious beasts.

So that they can extract pure life essence from it.

It is also because of this that the sacred spring in the city once again gushes out sweet spring water.

Even the dried-up spiritual fields and spiritual fruit gardens have become lush and green thanks to the watering of the pure life essence extracted from the bodies of ferocious beasts.

The original imperial city possesses infinite divine power, and creatures at the level of true immortals are simply unable to fully unleash all of its power.

Although the last of the Seven Kings of the Borderland is very powerful and has surpassed the ordinary immortals from foreign lands, he is not an Immortal King after all. Although he can resist the temptation of the Immortal King from foreign lands with the help of the divine power of the Original Imperial City, it is also extremely exhausting for him.

However, with the arrival of Li Zhi, this king of the borderland who had persisted for an era could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, he is in seclusion to recuperate.

The corpses of the immortal beasts in the warehouse were refined into blood pills by Li Zhi, and the Taoist injuries in his body were also healed by Li Zhi. This retreat was enough to restore him to his full victorious state.

There was also the dried-up spiritual vein in the city, which showed signs of recovery under the power of Immortal King Li Zhi.

Even the laughter and joy that had disappeared for many years reappeared in the city.

The regrowth of grass and trees provides children with a place to travel and play in the mountains and rivers.

"Uncle Taoist priest, will you tell us stories again today?" A little girl of five or six years old saw Li Zhi on the street and ran over to ask.

"Little Zhu Lin, why didn't you practice with everyone today?" Li Zhi rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile.

"Today is the day of my baptism. Grandma is refining the blood of the Vermillion Bird from the wings of the winged beast for me." The little girl said generously.

"Lin'er, where have you been? Come back quickly, the baptism is about to begin." At this moment, an old woman's voice came from the courtyard not far away.

When she walked out of the door and saw the little girl chatting with Li Zhi, she immediately greeted Li Zhi and said, "Greetings, Master. I hope Xiao Lin'er didn't disturb you."

"No." Li Zhi smiled.

"Thanks to the arrival of the real person, otherwise the children would never see what flowers, plants and trees look like, nor would they have such a relaxing opportunity to be baptized." The old woman thanked Li Zhi repeatedly.

"Since I'm staying in the city for a while, I naturally have to contribute some effort." Li Zhi waved his hand at the old woman, indicating that she shouldn't be polite.

"Uncle Taoist priest, after I'm done with baptism, can you tell us some stories about the outside world?" Little Zhu Lin said expectantly, holding Li Zhi's hand.

"Okay." Li Zhi reached out and rubbed the little girl's head again, then watched her being taken home by her grandmother for baptism.

Walking along the streets of the original imperial city, Li Zhi was like a mortal who had just arrived in a big city, and he couldn't wait to visit every place in the city.

The appearance of the little girl was just a small episode.

Generally speaking, residents in the city did not dare to approach Li Zhi, for fear of disturbing his practice.

It was incredible to them that a powerful person at the level of Immortal King could be so kind and amiable.

And after Li Zhi used the methods of the Immortal King to purify the ferocious beasts in the Original Imperial City, they became even more awed.

But the children in the city didn’t have so many thoughts.

Almost everyone regarded Li Zhi as a good friend.

Especially in recent times, Li Zhi has been strolling around the streets almost all the time, which has made the children lose their awe of him.

As for the adults in the city, in order to improve their cultivation as much as possible and to seize the time when Li Zhi stayed in the city, they hardly wasted a minute and a second and practiced diligently.

The corpses of powerful beasts that were originally unusable can now be used again, which is of great help to them.

Moreover, the essence that is smelted out has extremely amazing effects on spiritual practice.

Especially those corpses of supreme or immortal beings that have been processed by Li Zhi, the essence extracted from them can be compared with real divine pills and immortal pills.

Li Zhi, who was born in the broken era of Zhutian, is much more proficient in how to efficiently utilize the corpses of enemies than today's cultivators.

Li Zhi even used the remaining bones after the essence was melted out to make many disposable weapons.

Next time an immortal from a foreign land comes to checkpoint us, those powerful weapons will be enough to make them pay a heavy price.

As he walked, Li Zhi came to the grand altar that was built when Bian Huang was crowned king. It was located in the center of the imperial city.

Today, this altar is the key hub connecting to the sky abyss below the imperial city.

Possessing the supreme protection of immortal rules.

Creatures at the level of True Immortals simply cannot ascend the altar.

Fortunately, Li Zhi is not a true immortal, but a genuine immortal king, or even an immortal king of the highest level.

Passing through a barrier formed by the power of the Supreme Law of Judgment, Li Zhi reached the altar.

Standing in the center of the altar and using his magical power to go back in time, Li Zhi seemed to have returned to the most prosperous period of the original imperial city.

One immortal king after another rose here and ended here.

Finally, at the end of the ancient times, the Immortal Kings in the original imperial city became extinct, leaving only seven quasi-immortal kings known as the Seven Kings of the Borderland.

Having witnessed the ups and downs of this city over the long course of time, and even the moment of the original imperial city being crowned as a king during its most glorious period, Li Zhi was deeply moved.

When his mind returned from the long river of time, he sat directly on the altar and felt everything he had seen.

Flowers bloom and fall, and the once glorious Immortal King has now fallen.

What does it matter if you are blessed by all races, what does it matter if you defeat countless enemies, what does it matter if you protect the world and all living beings... In the end, it's all in vain.

Li Zhi's mood suddenly became extremely low, as if the fate of the original imperial city made him feel disappointed in life.

A sense of sadness burst out from him.

It was as if all the regrets accumulated by the immortal kings who had fallen throughout the ages had gathered on him at this moment.

A strange dark red aura gradually gathered above his head, as if it was about to condense into a golden hoop and put it on Li Zhi's forehead, completely locking his Taoist heart in the eternal sad mood.

"Chirp!"

But at this moment, the sound of a red bird's cry suddenly came from the city.

In joy, there is infinite yearning for the future.

"Uncle Taoist, I succeeded."

In a courtyard, a little girl named Zhu Lin flew out from a crystal white ancient tripod, with a pair of fiery red Vermillion Bird wings behind her, emitting a vibrant and fiery aura.

She was flying in the air and shouting towards the street outside, as if she was sharing her happiness with Li Zhi.

"Lin'er, come down quickly, don't fall."

The old woman called out to the little girl flying in the air with a loving look on her face.

"Grandma, can the Taoist uncle hear what I just said?" The little girl flapped the wings of the Vermillion Bird behind her, then threw herself into the old woman's arms and said happily.

"The Immortal is the supreme immortal king. Everything in the sky and on the earth is in his sight. Since you called him the Immortal, he must have seen you flying into the air just now." The old woman looked at her little granddaughter lovingly.

"Then I will go find the Taoist uncle now and tell him that I have awakened the Suzaku bloodline of my ancestors. I will definitely be able to grow to the level of a king in the future and make our city glorious again." The little girl raised her neck and said confidently.

"Good, good, good! My little Lin'er will definitely be able to reach the level of the king in the future." Although the old woman praised her granddaughter's ambition, her heart was filled with sorrow.

This era is coming to an end, and the origin of the original imperial city has been exhausted.

Even with the Immortal King formation set up by Li Zhi to melt the corpses of ferocious beasts left over from the ancient wars, the energy of those corpses would eventually be exhausted.

Moreover, if the immortal king from a foreign land attacks the city, they will not be able to stop it with their own strength.

In the ancient immortal era, there were hundreds of true immortals and several immortal kings in the nine heavens and ten earths, but they were all defeated by foreign lands.

He had no choice but to use the origin of the nine heavens and ten earths to connect the original imperial city and set up a sky abyss that could block the footsteps of immortals from foreign lands.

But now, an era has passed, and no living being in the nine heavens and ten earths has reached the level of true immortal and come to the original imperial city for support.

Moreover, as the lives in the imperial city are about to be exhausted, defeat is only a matter of time.

This result will not change because of Li Zhi's arrival.

At most, it can allow these orphans of the imperial city to hold on for a little longer.

All the adults in the city know this very well.

I just hope that the temporarily transformed environment will allow the remaining children to enjoy a less cruel childhood.

It’s a pity that the old woman knew the truth but couldn’t tell little Zhu Lin.

If possible, they would rather send the children back to the rear before the imperial city was destroyed.

On the central altar of the Original Imperial City, Li Zhi also encountered unprecedented troubles.

The golden hoop on his head, formed by a special aura, seemed to be determined not to stop until it was put on his head.

Moreover, the Immortal King's magical powers were simply unable to stop him from falling.

The closer they got to Li Zhi's head, the more dust there was in Li Zhi's heart.

Even the soul sitting in the immortal platform exuded a strong sense of decadence, as if after experiencing the vicissitudes of the ages, it no longer had any expectations of living.

Commonly known as tired of living.

However, just as the golden hoop touched his forehead and was about to penetrate his immortal platform and trap his soul.

Li Zhi suddenly heard little Zhu Lin's energetic cry full of hope.

In an instant, Li Zhi's wheel sea began to glow, and a vigorous life force burst out from his wheel sea.

Then, it was as if the vitality of life at the beginning of the world was infused into the Taoist Palace Secret Realm. After being amplified by the chanting of the five immortal kings in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm, that vitality became unusually active.

Then the vitality spread to every part of his body and bones, carrying infinite divine power, and rushed towards the immortal platform.

As the vigorous vitality poured into the fairy platform, the human dragon sleeping in the fairy platform instantly woke up, and then after nine changes, the dragon soared into the sky, carrying the supreme power of creation, and flew directly into the fairy platform.

The fairy platform, which was originally gradually getting darker, suddenly became bright after the giant dragon in the human body moved in.

The gloomy soul swept away the previous gloom, and then the terrifying power of the soul directly transformed into a divine axe of creation, and chopped towards the golden hoop formed by the special calamity energy.

"Crack!"

The golden hoop formed by the calamity energy shattered with a sound, and then Li Zhi's spiritual power began to surge. The space of the fairy platform also expanded rapidly, and it seemed that it could connect to more human body gates.

In an instant, the terrifying aura of the Immortal King gushed out from Li Zhi.

It even seemed as if the space and time around the central altar were sealed off, and even the sky abyss below the original imperial city stopped rotating at this moment.

It was as if everything was frozen.

Upon seeing this, the monks from foreign lands hurriedly reported the situation to the immortals stationed at the front line.

On the side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the cultivators in the Bianhuang Imperial City were horrified when they saw this.

Some great commanders who were at the first level of escape directly invited the supreme and powerful ones who were in seclusion in the imperial city to the city walls.

"There's something wrong with Tianyuan. We're in big trouble." After a supreme being saw the motionless Tianyuan, his face instantly turned serious.

"Blow the war horn and notify everyone that the decisive battle is about to begin." Another supreme being gave the order immediately.

However, at this moment, they saw an immortal creature running from a foreign land, rushing towards the Borderland Imperial City, as if it wanted to cross the border and test whether Tianyuan could still perform its previous functions.

"Great, Tianyuan is fine, and his power seems to be even stronger." A moment later, many creatures on the walls of Bianhuang Imperial City cheered.

Because they saw that the immortal beast died instantly when it reached the bottom of the sky abyss, and not even a bone was left.

In the past, when immortal beings tried to probe, the Abyss would erupt, releasing a storm of supreme laws to block them.

Instead of being like it is now, immortality can be achieved in an instant.

At the same time, inside the original imperial city, Li Zhi's transformation into an immortal was nearing completion.

After overcoming the Dao Heart Demon Tribulation, he officially stepped into the realm of the Immortal King giants.

Looking at the heavens and the world, they are all creatures at the top of the food chain.
