Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 560: Enlightenment at the Sea Waterfall

Time flies, and several years have passed.

The turmoil caused by the shocking battle that took place deep in a foreign land has dissipated.

The creatures living on the earth also returned to their previous lives.

At this moment, Li Zhi passed through the cracks in the boundary wall that had not yet been completely restored and came to the foreign world again.

Perhaps because it was dark under the lamp, or perhaps because his breath was hidden well, Li Zhi's whereabouts were not discovered by those immortal kings.

Afterwards, Li Zhi came to a very famous area in a foreign land, the Sea Waterfall.

A strange place whose origin even the Immortal King cannot truly understand.

The sea waterfall, as its name suggests, is really very vivid.

It was a vast and unfathomable ocean, and at the same time it hung in the void like a waterfall.

The waves were rolling and turbulent, and the color of the sea was very strange, appearing gray, like the color of the boundary sea.

But the real sea water is the same as the normal sea.

Some people speculate that the source of the sea waterfall is within the boundary sea, but the rumor has never been confirmed.

The sea waterfall is three feet above the ground, no more, no less. There is no water within this three-foot distance, and the part beyond it is the ocean, rolling towards the sky, with no end in sight and no way back.

At the highest point, there are fragments of time dancing, like the most beautiful petals, fluttering in the air, and vaguely, there is also the long river of time accompanying them.

It is like a vast ocean flowing out from the long river of time.

According to legend, this is a sea of ​​wishes that can make people's wishes come true.

There are almost no living creatures in the vast ocean. Although the waves are turbulent, there is little life in the water.

When Li Zhi arrived in front of the sea waterfall, he saw a sculpture-like creature sitting there with a fishing rod in front of it. It seemed like he was fishing, but he did not have the carefree attitude of a lone fisherman.

The man was the descendant of the Immortal King. Li Zhi ignored him and randomly chose a place, took out his fishing gear and started fishing.

As a descendant of the Immortal King, he wanted to use the power of the sea waterfall to fish out an invincible aura. This was obviously a wrong move.

Without the Immortal King's divine sense to observe, Li Zhi knew that there was no living thing in this vast ocean.

If you want to catch fish from the sea, you probably need to have a free and easy mentality like Emperor Huang Tian.

However, a fisherman’s happiness is never when the fish is hooked, but the leisure time when waiting for the fish to be hooked.

Not disturbed by the heaviness of the world, not harmed by nagging desires, not urged by time, empty your mind in silence and feel the beauty of life.

However, after a few days, although he didn't catch anything, Li Zhi's mood became particularly good.

The murderous intent accumulated during the previous battle also disappeared without a trace.

All kinds of powerful Tao rhymes are also restrained.

The whole person looks like a mortal who has taken a moment to relax.

"Hey, there's someone there."

I don’t know how much time had passed, but just when Li Zhi was lying on the fishing stool, half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard a young man’s voice.

"It's actually a mortal?" A man's voice came again.

"Can mortals come here to fish?" a female voice asked hesitantly.

The two seemed to exchange some words with each other. After a pause, they walked towards Li Zhi and bowed and greeted him, "Shen Ming, Sanzang, greetings, senior."

Only then did Li Zhi lift the straw hat covering his face and look at the two young men who greeted him.

The young woman had long fiery red hair and was extremely charming. She wore red-gold armor and had a beautiful face. She gave people the feeling of being a peerless beauty, beautiful and enchanting.

The young man had long golden hair, which was very brilliant, like the sun god, and he exuded a holy aura.

"Two golden undertakers. What are you doing here?" Li Zhi asked them calmly.

"We two juniors are here to fish." Sanzang and Shenming said almost in unison.

"You come to the sea waterfall to fish. It seems that you have great ambitions." Li Zhi suddenly smiled and asked, "Can you tell me what you want to fish for?"

“I want to fish out a period of time, a time of chaos in ancient times when darkness enveloped the earth and blood flooded the endless ancient tombs.” Shen Ming said solemnly.

"I want to fish for a reincarnation, three burials and three deaths, and three reincarnations." Sanzang also said with a sacred face.

"Then you guys work hard. Just don't disturb my interest." Li Zhi just shook his head slightly, and then ignored the two of them.

At the same time, with a sweep of his mind, he knew the situation on the border battlefield.

Shi Hao has been sent to a foreign land as a hostage.

As for those ancient immortal geniuses, they were not in the Borderland Imperial City at this time. They seemed to have left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and embarked on a mysterious ancient road of training.

Tuoba Yuer followed them on the journey.

If they want to become stronger, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can no longer provide them with an environment in which to grow stronger. Only by leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can they thrive.

As for Tuoba Yaoyang, he is still fighting in the Three Thousand Dao States. Now he has conquered one state as a base for developing his country. He has not stepped into the border battlefield to hone himself like those young geniuses.

It's just that his cultivation is still at the God King level (on par with Jinshifa's Xudao realm), and he has not broken through to the divine spirit level (on par with Jinshifa's Zhanwo).

In fact, it is easy to understand. The practice of the Shinto system does not allow for any laziness. When it is time to sort out the rules of heaven and earth, it is natural to focus on sorting out the rules of heaven and earth.

Moreover, it has been less than ten years since he was promoted to the realm of God King.

Not everyone can break through the realm as easily as eating and drinking like Emperor Huang Tian.

The situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, if nothing unexpected happens, is almost the same as what happened in the original timeline.

The Emperor's Pass will still be breached, and the nine heavens and ten earths will still be eroded by darkness.

After Emperor Huang Tian became the Immortal Emperor, he never thought about changing what had happened in the past or making up for the regrets he had left.

What’s more, Li Zhi is just a passer-by traveling in the long river of time.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more one can sense the horror of the power of cause and effect.

What will happen if we forcibly change the ancient history of the past and the future?
Even the Immortal Emperor cannot know it all.

Instead of thinking about how to change the past, it is better to think about how to defeat the king and become an emperor, how to transcend as soon as possible. Only by transcending the long river of time and transcending the avenue can we truly let the ancient history flow according to our own ideas.

Otherwise, all efforts are just struggling in the world created by others, and will always be constrained by canvas and paint.

Life and death, ups and downs, once you truly understand the laws of nature and human nature, you will find that many things are really not that important.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

The way of man is to make more than enough losses but more than enough sacrifices.

The way of the earth is to nurture all things and conceal itself.

Whether it is the way of heaven, the way of man, or the way of earth, it is ultimately impossible to transcend the constraints of life and death.

In the true Tao, there is no clear boundary between life and death.

Whether it is more or less, they are all just floating clouds.

Just like the sea waterfall in front of us, it is caused by the disturbance of the long river of fate, but it is extremely difficult to transcend it.

After a few days, Li Zhi suddenly sensed a vigorous vitality from the end of the sea waterfall. Then he saw a ten-thousand-foot-long ancestral fish fry swimming out from the end of the sea waterfall.

It seemed as if it was accumulating the strength to transcend the constraints of fate in this relatively calm ocean.

Since the ancestral fish fry has appeared, Shi Hao’s arrival should not be far away.

Sure enough, not long after, Shi Hao arrived in front of the sea waterfall.

First, he reminisced about the past with Shenming Sanzang, and then he discovered Li Zhi's trace.

"Senior, you are here too." Shi Hao seemed to recognize Li Zhi, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Am I weird here?" Li Zhi said with a smile.

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the Immortal King from a foreign land?” Shi Hao knew that Li Zhi was a supreme master at the Immortal King level.

"I'm afraid none of them is willing to see me now." Li Zhi said.

"Why don't you want to see you?" Shi Hao asked curiously.

"When you reach my level, you will know it naturally." Then Li Zhi looked Shi Hao up and down and said, "It seems that you are very lucky."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed myself, senior. Now I'm just a prisoner. I don't know when I can regain my freedom." There was a hint of bitterness on Shi Hao's face, but his mentality was very peaceful. He didn't have the cynicism after being sold.

"Go fishing. Once you catch a fish, you will be free again." Li Zhi said.

"Are there really fish here?" Shi Hao asked.

"It depends on fate. Those who are destined to catch big fish can catch big fish, while those who are not destined to catch big fish will not be able to touch a single fish scale even if they die here," said Li Zhi.

"Then I must be the destined person. When I catch a big fish, I will treat you to grilled fish." Shi Hao said confidently.

The familiar look between the two made Shenming and Sanzang on the side particularly curious.

People who are destined to be together indeed have an extraordinary resonance with fate.

Shi Hao had only been fishing for less than a day when the ancestral fish fry was hooked.

According to legend, only the ancestral fish fry can cross the sea waterfall and return to their birthplace. That place is very special, with great cause and effect, and even more shocking secrets.

Then he followed Shi Hao and stood on the body of the ancestral fish fry.

Sanzang and Shenming also made up their minds, pounced on it, and grabbed the fish fins tightly, as if they wanted to follow the ancestral fish fry to the mysterious place.

In the sea waterfall, the ancestor fish swam upstream, leaped hard, and finally broke free from the sea waterfall and left the foreign world.

The mysterious power constantly squeezes the ancestral fish fry, as if transforming its origin.

Shi Hao and the other two were also under terrible pressure, and their bodies seemed to be crushed.

Fortunately, they had a good foundation and were able to withstand the pressure.

Although their bones were broken and their flesh was bloody, it also unearthed the potential hidden deep within their bodies.

However, Li Zhi's experience was completely different from theirs.

The moment the ancestral fish fry transcended the sea of ​​​​boundary, he sensed a mysterious space.

A mysterious space hidden in the long river of destiny.

The source of power that enables living beings to transcend their original destiny comes from within that space.

Unlike Shi Hao and others, they cannot withstand the power from the long river of destiny.

But Li Zhi was different. He directly tore apart the area covered by time fragments and entered the mysterious world filled with grand sacrificial sounds.

Looking around, there were broken wreckage of the world everywhere. A strange power was extracted and gathered on a magical grass that emitted a light green light.

The grand sound of chanting sutras came from that magical grass.

The power that enables the ancestral fish fry to transcend the river of destiny also emanates from that magical herb.

Li Zhi resisted the supreme pressure emanating from the magic grass, while communicating with the will within the magic grass.

“Transcendence, transcendence…”

A vague consciousness emanated from the magic grass, and at the same time Li Zhi also saw a picture.

It was a small lake with a lotus planted in it.

A mysterious person enlightened the ordinary lotus, and then the lotus began to leap towards an extraordinary life form, and finally evolved into a mysterious fairy lotus exuding a strong breath of reincarnation.

For some reason, Li Zhi subconsciously felt that the fairy lotus was the legendary lotus of eternal reincarnation.

And that mysterious little grass was just an ordinary weed by the lake.

As if he could sense the mysterious force of evolution, although he was weak, he was also evolving in a direction that was beneficial to his own condition.

One day, a fire broke out suddenly near the lake, and all the grass was burned to ashes.

However, the grass seeds, carrying the instinct of life evolution, were scattered into the long river of time.

And by chance, it took root here, and from the extreme death, it condensed a special evolutionary vitality.

That kind of vitality is an evolutionary force that transcends the long river of fate.

Only by reviving from death and returning from extinction can one transcend the original fate.

After feeling that will, Li Zhi seemed to have a sudden epiphany.

He sat down directly in front of the grass and then dropped the drop of blood from the mysterious plateau onto the roots of the grass.

Then the grass seemed to have obtained something tonic, and immediately exuded a sense of joy.

The mysterious and grand sacrificial sound became louder, as if it was the sound of the burning flesh left behind as it instinctively bid farewell to a supreme being.

Li Zhi's blood power began to boil at this moment.

It was as if I had traced back to the source of my bloodline.

The nine-colored true blood gradually burned, then faded, and finally turned into the bright red blood of a normal person.

During this process, Zulong's dragon essence was completely transformed into his foundation and integrated into his blood.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the grand sacrificial sound emanating from the grass has become blurred again.

But its aura suddenly increased significantly, and even a sharp aura was emanating from those delicate leaves.

The seemingly crisp leaves look like fairy swords.

"Is this the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass?"

A special enlightenment arose in Li Zhi's heart.

Among the ten evil spirits, the one that can most thoroughly break one's fate is not the Kunpeng clan.

Although the Kunpeng clan is suspected to be a life form that evolved from the ancestral fish fry that broke through the long river of fate.

However, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the ultimate in allowing life to evolve autonomously in a direction suitable for their survival.

After a grass has fully grown, it can actually stand on equal footing with naturally powerful mythical beasts such as the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn. It has to be said that this is a miracle of life.

It is even more amazing than the transformation of the ancestor fish fry into Kunpeng.
