Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 578: The Future

In the fairyland, war was raging and the dark turmoil did not come to an abrupt end with the arrival of the threesome of Zhatian.

The bloody killing continued, and powerful people at the level of Immortal King continued to fall. The creatures below the Immortal King suffered even more casualties. It seemed that this doomsday disaster of the Immortal Realm could no longer be survived.

The entire era was buried in the sky, the heaven and earth were constantly cracking, and the vast fairyland seemed to be disintegrating.

Deep in the Divine Court, above the ancestral altar, Li Zhi, who had just returned from the Sea of ​​Boundaries, was immediately enveloped in dense fragments of time.

He didn't seem to want to stay in this era for another second.

Being called the ancestor by the quasi-immortal emperor of the weird clan scared Li Zhi badly.

This forced Li Zhi to think about his situation.

Previously, the curse originating from the strange plateau had not been able to change its origin, which once made Li Zhi think that he would not be affected by the strange substance.

But now, what is about to happen in the future is not as simple as he thought.

Combined with the news that Ye Fan disappeared from all the heavens and worlds that I learned from my last meeting in the Black Abyss of the Ancient Immortal Realm.

The limited clues almost outline Li Zhi's future.

He became a quasi-immortal emperor in this era, and when he returned to the era when he truly grew up, he would definitely not meet a decent opponent.

Ye Fan and his companions encountered a shocking battle in the Immortal King realm, and there was even a point when they saw no hope.

Later they fought all the way, and finally the trio reached the quasi-immortal emperor realm in a bloody battle, which bought them some breathing time.

And combined with what Emperor Wu Shi said, the strange army came out of the sealed ancient passage.

Li Zhi had a bad feeling. Could it be that the passage was dug by him in order to leave this perfect world isolated by Emperor Huang Tian?
Moreover, the last communication with Ye Fan made Li Zhi understand that since they separated in the human world, they did not meet again in the fairyland in later lives.

The disciples that Li Zhi left behind in a foreign land did not know where he had gone.

Moreover, he did not take the humanoid weapon away, and it finally fell into the hands of Li Xianer.

All signs indicate that when he returned to the normal time node along the long river of time, he did not appear in the fairyland.

Just like how Emperor Huang Tian used the place that connects the sky, the past and the present to go back to the time when the emperor fell hundreds of thousands of years later, when he returned, he was not in the fairyland at all, but directly appeared in the holy land of the burial domain, which was also the place where he transformed that year.

Even buried beneath that land were the remains of Emperor Huang Tian's own transformation.

"Ancestor, save me!"

Just as Li Zhi fell into deep thought, three quasi-immortal emperors from a strange clan who came from the downstream of the long river of time were suppressed by the Zhatian trio.

But before they were suppressed, they asked Li Zhi for help.

At the same time, this move also attracted the attention of the Zhatian trio.

"Master Changshou, you have also locked onto this period of time and space." The empress said coldly, but for some reason, Li Zhi felt a biting chill from her tone, as if she was going to fight Li Zhi to the death.

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see." Li Zhi dispersed the mist of time on his body, revealing his true face.

"Li Zhi, you have also become a quasi-immortal emperor?" Ye Fan looked at Li Zhi in surprise. He never expected that Li Zhi, who had been staying in this time and space, could also become a quasi-immortal emperor.

According to ancient history, shouldn’t Emperor Huang Tian be fighting the darkness alone without any help?

When he saw the fragments of time covering Li Zhi, he suddenly realized.

They realized that Li Zhi, like them, had returned through the long river of time.

Moreover, the time coordinates of their real bodies do not seem to be at the same time point.

"Could this fellow Taoist be the Immortal of Longevity?" The Wu Shi Great Emperor also shifted his gaze from the battlefield where the Emperor Huang Tian was fighting against the four dark quasi-immortal emperors to Li Zhi.

He had never met Li Zhi, but had only heard Ye Fan and the Cruel Emperor mention the title of the Immortal of Longevity.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wu Shi." Li Zhi also greeted Emperor Wu Shi.

"Fellow Daoist Changshou, I don't know why they call you the ancestor and ask you for help. Do you know where they come from?" Then the Emperor Wu Shi asked directly.

The questioning of Emperor Wu Shi also made Li Zhi certain of one thing, that is, in the timeline where he appeared, it seemed that the traces he left in the world had not disappeared.

"They are from..."

Just as he was about to say the words "Strange Plateau", Li Zhi found that he had suddenly lost his voice. It seemed that he should not reveal the matter of the strange clan to the three people of Zhatian at this moment.

"In the end, did we win or lose?"

After realizing that the power of cause and effect prevented communication between creatures in different time and space, Ye Fan directly asked the key question.

"I can only say that the road is tortuous, but the future is bright." Li Zhi left this sentence in the end.

Just like back then, when Ye Fan received confirmation from the ruthless emperor of the ancient forbidden area that there were immortals in the world, now the eight words "the road is tortuous, but the future is bright" have explained the problem.

"How did you come to this space and time from the downstream of the long river of time?" The ruthless emperor was very curious about how Li Zhi could lock onto this space and time.

Strong men at the quasi-immortal emperor level have the ability to conceal their secrets, and Emperor Huang Tian is even more so. They have tried many methods and even mastered things related to Emperor Huang Tian. They have locked this space and time several times, but they are unable to stay here to communicate with Emperor Huang Tian.

But Li Zhi was different. He seemed to have stayed in this space and time for a long time.

After pointing to the altar under his feet, Li Zhi said: "It was they who used their blood to summon me back from the lower reaches of the long river of time."

Looking at the disciples of the Divine Court who were only left with dried flesh below the altar, Li Zhi immediately used his magical power of creation to grab the original vitality of the fairyland and injected it into their bodies. He then practiced the great method to allow their flesh to give birth to their true souls again.

Even Tuoba Yu'er, who was so weak that only a remnant soul was left, was rescued by Li Zhi. Although her Taoist skills were completely gone, she was truly resurrected.

At the same time, the memories within their bodies were also awakened by Li Zhi.

Although the original essence, blood, and soul are completely gone.

However, the newborn soul is still nurtured by their own body, so it cannot be considered as taking over someone else's nest.

"Teacher, you are finally here." After Tuoba Yu'er recovered, she stood beside Li Zhi. When she regained consciousness, she said excitedly.

"Please help us, teacher, to quell the dark turmoil." Then Tuoba Yu'er knelt in front of Li Zhi and begged.

"Don't worry, the dark turmoil will be over soon." Li Zhi said directly after taking a look at the battle situation in the sea of ​​​​boundaries.

At this time, the vitality of Emperor Cang, Emperor Yu and Emperor Hong, who had taken the Emperor Pill, began to decline, while Emperor Huangtian became more and more courageous. Li Zhi knew that this war was about to end.

Although the Old Man of Destruction is extremely powerful and once attempted to ascend to the realm of the Immortal Emperor, there is still a gap between him and the Emperor of Desolate Heaven.

"Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die."

It is still this sentence. When the old man of destruction abandoned his own path and chose to exchange the pure origin for the Immortal Emperor scriptures in the darkness, the ending was already doomed.

After Emperor Huang Tian transformed into an immortal fetus, although he did not completely surpass him in realm, he was also a quasi-immortal emperor at the same level.

Moreover, Emperor Huang Tian, ​​whose origin is pure and whose path is consistent, can exert even more powerful and boundless combat power.

Sure enough, when Emperor Cang and others were unable to put enough pressure on Emperor Huangtian, Old Man Mie Shi did not last long under Emperor Huangtian and was suppressed.

Then, the freed Emperor Desolate Heaven fought back to the heavens and the myriad worlds. The dark army was as fragile as paper and clay in his hands. Soon, the dark turmoil that swept across the heavens and the myriad worlds ended, and all the dark armies were destroyed.

Seeing that the dark turmoil had subsided and the fairyland was about to collapse, Li Zhi said to Tuoba Yuer: "Well, I don't have much time left. See you again in the future."

Above the Sea Boundary, the Zhatian trio, who watched Emperor Huang free up his hands and easily quell the unrest, were in no hurry to leave.

It seemed as if he wanted to see where Emperor Huang Tian would eventually go.

After all, in later generations, when they returned, Emperor Huang Tian had already disappeared for tens of thousands of years.

Seeing Li Zhi disappear from the ancestral altar, Emperor Wu Shi asked the Empress and Ye Fan, "What do you think of the situation of Taoist Changshou?"

"Based on my understanding of him, it is not impossible that he will eventually become the ancestor of the weird clan. There are secrets hidden in his body that even I cannot see through. I have been unable to see through it since the mortal period." said the Cruel Emperor.

The strange secret method of stealing the secrets of heaven, as well as the appearance of the mysterious altar rooted in his sea of ​​​​wheels, directly summoned the scene of the ultimate divine punishment, forcing the ruthless emperor to be on guard against him.

Especially after coming into contact with the strange clan and learning that they would perform blood sacrifices with all the spirits in the world every once in a while, the ruthless emperor's view of Li Zhi became increasingly negative.

"I believe that Li Zhi will not collude with strange creatures." Ye Fan said finally.

Although he felt that Li Zhi was a little timid and cowardly, and even lacked much heroic spirit, and had other shortcomings, he was not the kind of person who would sacrifice the heavens and wash the world with blood for his own selfish reasons.

On the contrary, I feel that Li Zhi is more likely to put the strange race on the dissecting table for in-depth research.

Although Li Zhi has many flaws in his character, his talent for Taoism and various wonderful ideas related to practice are truly admirable.

When he was practicing in the human world, he was unable to leave behind a path to immortality in the mortal world for future generations.

But Li Zhi left behind a replicable immortal path in the mortal world.

Based on this point, Ye Fan knew that Li Zhi was definitely not a genius in the ordinary sense, but a true genius in practicing Taoism.

Maybe his identity as the ancestor is fake.

Li Zhi, who had already disappeared from the perfect time and space, had no idea what Ye Fan and others thought of him.

At this moment, he has already started his journey home.

And he felt that there seemed to be something attracting him downstream of the long river of time.

Traveling in the long river of time, Li Zhi's eyes were blurred and he couldn't see the scenery along the way at all.

Li Zhi originally thought that when he returned under such circumstances, the lower reaches of the long river of time suddenly began to riot.

It seemed that there were powerful beings surpassing the Immortal Emperor fighting, which directly overturned the entire river of time.

In an instant, huge waves were stirred up in the long river of time.

After breaking, the colorful waves instantly turned into one scene after another.

Suddenly, Li Zhi felt that the events depicted in some of the scrolls downstream were related to him.

Then he used his Sky-stealing Hand to grab the information shrouded in heavy fog from the downstream of the long river of time.

Based on the secret method of "Stealing Heaven's Secrets", the Heaven-Stealing Hand now possesses unfathomable power. Even though Li Zhi's cultivation has reached the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he still has not felt its limit.

It seems that the Hand of Stealing Heaven can continue to evolve.

One day he will be able to grab something from the world outside this eternal painting of the universe.

However, after becoming the Immortal King, he hasn't used this technique in front of other people for a long time.

After successively catching three scrolls from the lower reaches of the long river of time, Li Zhi felt a tremendous pressure.

It seems that if he continues to use the Heaven-Stealing Hand, he will encounter an irresistible disaster.

Soon, the riot in the lower reaches of the long river of time disappeared, and the years continued to flow along their original trajectory.

Then, Li Zhi began to study the three scrolls.

The first section of the painting is set in a strange sea.

Li Zhi, shrouded in mysterious mist, stood in front of a magical altar in the sea of ​​​​boundary, knocking and hammering, as if studying the composition of the altar.

Then, the scene changed.

Li Zhi used some kind of magical power to cover up the altar in the mysterious world sea, and then the three-layer altar in his body changed and replaced the mysterious altar in the world sea.

From then on, the first picture of the future ended.

The events recorded in the second future scene are horrifying.

Many powerful men from the strange clan came to a mysterious altar and sacrificed a huge number of lives, as if they wanted to fulfill a powerful existence.

However, under the leadership of a mysterious and powerful person, the sacrifice failed.

The quasi-Immortal Emperor who was originally able to ascend to the realm of Immortal Emperor was transformed on the spot, and in the end not even ashes were left.

Finally, the chief priest became furious and shouted, "Huang, it's you again."

This is where the picture ends.

The third scene is even more incredible.

On a vast plateau, a creature holding a Luoyang shovel was looking for something like a ghost.

Finally, a mysterious ancient coffin was dug out in a strange place, and then it was suppressed by a mysterious green mountain.

The ghostly figure dug out three mysterious ancient coffins deep in the plateau, which attracted the attention of other creatures.

From somewhere there came a sound of panic and roar like that of wild beasts.

"This is impossible. They couldn't even be resurrected. Huang can't be that powerful. Investigate. We must find out the truth. Send an order. The ten great immortal emperors should act together to cut off the evolutionary path that Huang is cultivating."

The mysterious scene disappears here.

The three scenes seem to foreshadow three earth-shaking events in the future.

The first scene seems to indicate that Li Zhi has arrived at the mysterious sacrificial sea, and has understood the means by which the strange clan summons the sick, while at the same time sublimating his evolutionary system to the level of Immortal Emperor.

The second scene seems to imply that after the Immortal Emperor of the Weird Clan was killed by Emperor Huangtian, they used sacrifices to complete a small sacrifice of the Ten Immortal Emperors, but ultimately failed due to unknown reasons.

The third scene seems to be the scene where Li Zhi, who has reached the level of Jidao, steps onto the strange plateau silently, suppresses and steals the three ancestors of the Jidao level.

After seeing the three scenes of the future, Li Zhi seemed to understand why he was called the ancestor by the old man who came from the downstream of the long river of time.

Just as Li Zhi was wondering how he went deep into the sacrificial sea and how he reached the strange plateau, the long river of time around him suddenly rioted, and then he was thrown out.

At the same time, a great causal force descended upon him, instantly clouding his memory and making him forget the three pictures he had just seen.

Then, he felt a familiar breath pressing towards him from all directions.
