Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 635: Conscience in the World of Mortals
"Dragon meat stuffed buns."

"Don't miss it if you pass by. This is the new wine from the Dionysus Village."

"Look at my clothes. They are made from silk from the silkworm, which was refined by the fairies in the Silken Clothes Pavilion."

Walking on the bustling street, Li Zhi felt empty in his heart.

He has been walking on thin ice throughout his life, fearing that he might do something wrong in this world and thus affect his own development.

But in the end, I found that the goal I had been fighting for all my life was not that brilliant.

It didn't even give him what he wanted.

Back then, he dreamed of climbing the road to heaven, singing as he walked, and covering the sky with a snap of his fingers.

But as I walked along, I found out how difficult it was to cover the sky with a snap of my fingers.

The years of ancient history have been solidified, the picture scroll of the heavens has been completed, and the light of the three Heavenly Emperors cannot be stopped.

Even if the ancient history is opened separately, it is still the home court of the three Heavenly Emperors, and no one would want to see his brilliance.

Even the attempt to use the heavens and all the worlds for experiments was declared a failure.

Eventually, it became an arena for the three Heavenly Emperors to compete in an alternative way.

And he, like a firefly, always wants to compete with the bright moon for brilliance. But in the end, as soon as the bright moon comes out, the brilliance of the firefly becomes insignificant.

Is it really as Zhou Mei said, that he is just an abandoned loser?
Or, from the beginning to the end, his appearance was just a piece of sugar in the milk tea.

They think they are the source of sweetness, but they forget that there are countless similar candies that make up the sweetness of milk tea.

Li Zhi couldn't help but start to doubt his life. What had he done wrong?
Scenes from ancient history kept flashing in his mind like old photographs.

Constantly helping him recall the past.

“It turns out that since then, I have been on the wrong path.”

Finally, Li Zhi sighed deeply and understood the crux of the problem.

Trying to play with time, but ultimately being played with by time.

From the moment he wanted to go against the current of the perfect world, his fate was already determined.

Even the Immortal Emperor cannot play with time, as he will be harmed by the cause and effect of time.

As powerful as the Corpse Immortal Emperor, he wasted time in order to hunt down the Desolate Emperor.

In the end, his perception was blinded by the power of cause and effect, allowing Emperor Huang Tian to return successfully, and then he killed him with a single sword.

The time beast Red King from a foreign land wanted to sit upstream of the long river of time and kill Emperor Huang Tian downstream, but he was eventually bitten back by time and ended up dying and his clan was destroyed.

The Immortal King Wuzhong of the primitive ancient world also wanted to reverse cause and effect and go through reincarnation through the passage of time, but ultimately disappeared without a trace.

Even Gao Yuan's will, which surpassed the weird ancestor's, moved time recklessly and changed the weird ancestor's fate, but still could not escape the reckoning of time.

It even allowed the three Heavenly Emperors, who originally had no chance of breaking through to the level of sacrifice, to finally break through the shackles and reach an equal level with the sick.

Those who waste their time recklessly will end up in such a miserable state.

Looking back silently, Li Zhi realized that his current predicament was actually caused by the time he used the time array left by the Red King.

And there were already signs at that time reminding him that his choice was wrong.

But he still marched forward in the wrong direction without hesitation, and eventually ended up being abandoned.

He originally thought that in this new ancient history, it was a contest between him and the author.

Eventually he will be able to take the initiative in writing ancient history and depict ancient history scrolls according to his ideas.

Now it seems that he was too confident.

Even too blind.

If time could go back.

He would definitely give up the choice he made back then.

Instead, like Ye Fan and the others, he will stay in the heavens and myriad worlds protected by Emperor Huang Tian and continue to grow.

Perhaps, the road of life will have a different ending.

However, everything is late.

Ancient history has been turned over and everything has come to an end.

Even the once familiar worlds have become what they are today.

The ruthless emperor seemed not to want to see anything related to the past.

After her Taoism was restored to the level of sacrificial Taoism, all traces of it in ancient history disappeared.

Those things that depend on the patient for their existence also disappear.

Even the three-generation bronze coffin that ran through the entire ancient history was melted by Emperor Huang Tian and his men.

It seems that a new era should bring a brand new atmosphere.

The current Lord of Heaven is Ye Fan’s eldest son Ye Yishui. Under his governance, the Heaven with thirty-three eternal heavens has become the belief of countless people.

Today, the ancient continent where Li Zhi sits is a territory under the rule of the Heavenly Court.

It’s just that the way Heaven rules has changed.

It is no longer the form of relying on heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress one side.

Instead, by formulating heavenly rules, the monks under the rule of heaven can only practice the way of heaven.

Any behavior that violates the laws of nature is illegal and will be punished by heaven.

Li Zhi admired the various layouts and rules of the Heavenly Palace.

Then I thought of another child.

Different from Li Xianer and Li Jizu.

Although Li Zhi contributed to the birth of the dragon son, in fact, more credit came from the creation of heaven and earth.

Rather than saying that the Dragon Son is the child of him and the Dragon Girl, it would be better to say that he is a special creature created by heaven and earth with the help of their hands.

A divine dragon that is supposed to guide all living things to evolve into true dragons.

But under his and Dragon Girl's teachings, it became dispensable.

If we say that the mortal world immortal road taken by the Emperor, the Immortal Emperor, the Ruthless Emperor, and Ye Fan is a mortal world immortal road suitable for human-shaped creatures.

Then the dragon transformation technique created by the Demon King Xue Yueqing is another path to immortality in the mortal world.

By transforming into a true dragon in the mortal world and gaining the blessing of the true dragon status, the leader of the Ten Evils, perhaps his future achievements will not be worse than those of the Ten Evils in the past.

The ancestor of the Jiuyou Beast Clan, the Old Man Mie Shi, was able to cultivate to a level just one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor.

If it weren’t for the Corpse Immortal Emperor using the Three Lives Bronze Coffin to seal the road to heaven.

He might have already been taken away by the strange ancestor on the plateau.

As long as he is given some primordial substances (the ashes of the sick), the old man of destruction will definitely be able to overcome that hurdle and become a being at the level of the Immortal Emperor. It is even possible that he will be promoted to the position of the ancestor in the future.

To transform into an immortal in the mortal world life after life is the opportunity that Emperor Huang Tian left for the world according to his own template.

Then, transforming into a dragon in the mortal world is the opportunity given by heaven and earth to all living things.

After all, the real dragons of that era were equivalent to immortals.

Logically speaking, Li Zhi, who has cultivated to the level of a dragon incarnation, would not make such a serious mistake.

However, he actually made this mistake.

Some people even regarded the dragon's clone as just an incarnation of their own life.

Ignoring his potential on the road to evolution.

Moreover, going against the current of the perfect world, the heaven and earth actually gave him another chance.

Let Zulong be resurrected to face the test of the greatest dark turmoil in history.

Unfortunately, he missed it again.

He just regarded the legacy of Zulong as a resource for advancing to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, instead of regarding Zulong as an independent individual.

An opportunity to truly shine in that era without being affected by the consequences of time.

Later, the strange clan launched a massive attack, but he had lost all his glory.

It has lost its impressive ecological niche and become an insignificant discarded child.

Just like the song goes, "Life is full of twists and turns, and fate is full of ups and downs."

If you go against the will of heaven, you will eventually be swallowed up by the way of heaven. It turns out that Li Changshou's fate did not fall on him, but on a person with the same name and surname.

It turns out that the road to being center stage is filled with so many obstacles.

If Emperor Huang Tian wants to step to the center of the stage, he must first defeat his cousin Shi Yi.

If Ye Fan wants to step to the center of the stage, he must first defeat the Golden-winged Peng King.

If Chu Feng wants to step to the center of the stage, he must first defeat all the aliens on Earth.

Li Zhi wanted to step to the center of the stage, but he failed to defeat anyone who could be considered his mortal enemy.

In fact, the Holy Son Yaoguang gave him the opportunity to step to the center of the stage, but he did not seize it.

Otherwise, before Ye Fan became an emperor, the person who fought with him in the mythical ancient battlefield would not be the Holy Son Yaoguang who was an incarnation of an imperfect chaotic body, but him, Li Zhi.

Perhaps, that would be the moment when he would be closest to center stage.

After all, it was on the mythical ancient battlefield that Ye Fan won the title of the strongest holy body in history.

At the same time, he defeated the emperor of the time and broke the supreme myth that one person could achieve enlightenment and be respected by both heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, when he understood all this, it was too late.

The myriad races of the ancient times should, under the leadership of the true dragon, restore their glory.

Let the world understand that the path of bloodline evolution by tracing its origins is also a bright road.

Whether it is the Qilin clan or the Blood Phoenix clan, they actually have the possibility of evolving into the pure-blooded Ten Evils.

The pure-blooded Ten Evils are comparable to immortals and are able to embark on the path of true spirits comparable to the mortal immortals.

It turned out that it was not that the stage was too small, but that he did not seize the stage that was suitable for him to display his talents.

Perhaps, this is the sadness of a "prophet".

No wonder, during the entire era of Shrouding the Heavens, not a single master of divine predictions became an immortal.

Logically speaking, whether it is the secret of the previous word or the art of divination, it can enable people to see into the future.

However, the price of seeing into the future is wasting the present.

Li Zhi sometimes wondered, if he had used his human body instead of his dragon clone to replace his life after being beheaded by the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine, would he have been able to have a completely new journey?

Even the appearance of the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine was to help him make a choice.

After all, he had used the life-saving technique once before.

According to the unspoken rule that one can only live one life in one way, in fact, Li Zhi’s human body should have died that time to comply with this unspoken rule?

"It turns out that I missed so many hints." A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Li Zhi's face.

Just as the saying goes, opportunities came like raindrops, but he avoided them all.

He has been using the title of Golden Dragon Prince for such a long time, but he hasn't realized that this is a hint for him to embark on the path of transforming into a dragon.

Instead of imitating Emperor Huang Tian and living life after life.

So what if he innovated the secret method of the human body.

As for the secret realm of the human body that has been mastered, the world outside has already evolved it to an unknownly complex level of cultivation.

What seems to be a pioneering and innovative move is nothing more than a useless icing on the cake.

However, the path to transforming into a real dragon is blank.

The Demon King Xue Yueqing has used his life to tell the younger generations that if a snow rabbit can evolve into a silver dragon, then a divine dragon must have a greater chance of evolving into a real dragon than a snow rabbit.

The Demon King’s tomb was not unearthed early or late, but it was unearthed in the golden age.

Is this the clearest hint?

No, it should be explicit.

There is also the peerless Dragon's Nest.

The true dragon's elixir of immortality resides in the dragon's nest and is not controlled by the restrictions of the ruthless emperor.

Isn't this also a clear reminder?

"Waiter, bring a pot of wine." Li Zhi walked into a restaurant along the street and immediately shouted to the waiter.

Originally he didn't like drinking.

But now, he has no better way to express his feelings.

Although drinking to drown your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful, life is meaningless without wine.

Only when you are in the right mood, can you know what wonderful taste the wine contains.

"Guan Shi, what kind of wine would you like to order? We have aged Hua Diao and the newly arrived Qianbei Buzui."

The waiter seemed to realize that Li Zhi was a person who needed wine, and hurriedly introduced him to several kinds of delicious and non-intoxicating wines.

"Give me one jar of each." Although Li Zhi had become a mortal here, he did not have to worry about dying from drunkenness like ordinary people, so there was no need to limit the amount of alcohol he could drink.

Then, Li Zhi sat alone on the bed and began his three-day drinking session.

Seeing him drinking up jar after jar of wine, he gradually attracted the attention of other guests in the tavern.

"The Fairy of Yao Chi is here, everyone please make way." Suddenly there was a burst of noise from the crowd.

Then, the crowd that had gathered to watch Li Zhi drink voluntarily made way for him.

A fairy in white fluttering clothes appeared in front of Li Zhi, rising step by step.

"My fellow Taoist, do you mind sharing your wine with me?" Fairy Yao Chi sat directly opposite Li Zhi, picked up the wine jug and poured herself a glass.

"Whatever." Li Zhi said without turning his head.

It seemed that being watched by others did not make him feel shy.

The arrival of the Fairy of Yao Chi could not affect his mood.

Just like that, the beautiful Fairy of Yao Chi sat opposite Li Zhi, accompanying him in drinking one cup after another.

Neither of them said anything, they just drank.

Even this strange atmosphere gradually affected other people.

"Go away, go away. This guy is just a blockhead."

In the end, everyone lost interest in watching the show due to the dull and monotonous atmosphere.

However, the two people at the table still showed no intention of stopping.

"Although the wine here is good, it is not as delicious as my Yaochi Immortal Wine. Why don't you come with me to Yaochi to drink to your heart's content?"

Just when the waiter wanted to add more wine for Li Zhi, the Fairy of Yao Chi spoke again.

"who are you?"

Finally, Li Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the other person straight.

It is certain that he does not know this so-called Fairy of Yao Chi.

“Why do we have to know each other before we meet? It is fate that we meet in this mortal restaurant, isn’t it?” said the Fairy of Yao Chi in an ethereal voice.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." But Li Zhi said without understanding the situation.

"The saint asked me to bring you a message. She has the answer to what you are thinking." At this moment, the Fairy of Yao Chi suddenly said.

And Li Zhi's eyes suddenly changed.
