Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 639 The Joy of Fighting

The forest was silent, the fog was thick, and there was not a sound between heaven and earth.

There is a gloomy and spooky air in the air, as if it is a fertile land of the underworld.

Suddenly, the quiet mountain began to shake, as if it was about to collapse.

A huge hand exuding the breath of death stretched out from the mud, and then the hand slapped the ground.

In an instant, a big hole appeared in the mountain.

Then, a burly Taoist priest walked out of the cave.

There is a strong aura of the vicissitudes of time, and there are many white rings in the body that emit a mysterious aura of reincarnation.

"Master Dao, I have lived another life."

Looking at the world around him, the Taoist muttered to himself, and then the aura of reincarnation on his body was completely restrained.

Then the aura of eternal vicissitudes disappeared, and his body became younger. Faintly, one could see fragments of the Great Dao dissipating in his body.

It's like adjusting this body to a mortal state.

When the morning sun spread across the earth, the Taoist priest completely turned into a mortal.

His eyes also became simple.

"Master, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts when you are alone in Ghost Mist Mountain?"

At this moment, a young figure appeared beside him and greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Young man, where is this place? I'm new here and not very familiar with this place." The Taoist priest, who looked like he was lost, asked the young man who was chopping wood in the mountain.

"Master, are you here to rob tombs?" The woodcutter looked at the fat Taoist priest with vigilance.

"Do I look very abstract?" The fat Taoist was instantly confused.

“Actually, there is no need to hide it, Taoist priest. There is indeed a large tomb in this Ghost Mist Mountain. However, it has never been discovered for many years.” The woodcutter explained.

"So that's how it is. Thank you for clearing up my confusion," said the fat Taoist.

Afterwards, the fat Taoist discovered a sealed tomb in the mountains.

It’s a pity that his Taoism is not good enough to dig it out.

Finally, I had no choice but to leave there.

However, he did not give up digging up the ancient tomb.

I would go and try it out every once in a while.

Until the end of life.

In this way, he dug life after life.

It was not until the fat Taoist accumulated ninety-nine reincarnation seals in his body that he finally dug up the ancient tomb.

But the tomb did not contain the treasure he expected.

Instead it was an invitation.

With the invitation, the fat Taoist came to a beautiful lake.

"You are making fun of me." The fat Taoist priest was furious when he saw a young man fishing by the lake.

"Master, now that you have completed your merits, let me lend you a helping hand." The young man who was fishing immediately put down his fishing rod and threw a mysterious altar at the feet of the fat Taoist priest.

Then, a terrifying sacrificial force emerged from the altar.

All the reincarnation seals in the fat Taoist's body flew uncontrollably onto the altar at this moment, transforming into waves of special energy and sinking into his body.

The fat Taoist's aura suddenly began to surge, and all kinds of mysterious scrolls appeared around him.

In the end, time, cause and effect, space, the Tao, and other things were all shattered beside him. His true spirit seemed to have achieved ultimate evolution and was no longer suppressed by any external force.

A supreme state of mind of great freedom and ease emanated from him.

“It turns out that this is what it feels like to be on the path of sacrifice.”

Finally, the fat Taoist priest, who had completed his transformation, said with a look of enjoyment.

"Congratulations, Taoist priest, you got what you wished for." Then the fishing man congratulated him.

"Li Zhi, you actually have such a skill. I am really impressed by you." The fat Taoist was Duan De who had finished accumulating reincarnation skills.

Li Zhi used a special method of great sacrifice to forcibly elevate his Taoism to the realm of true self above the sacrifice. Although not as powerful as Weiyi, it was not far behind.

"It's because of your special physique, Uncle Taoist, that you can continuously accumulate the marks of reincarnation. Otherwise, no matter how magical my great sacrifice method is, it cannot elevate your Taoism to the current level." Li Zhi said with a smile.

"I heard that you don't want to live anymore? Digging holes everywhere to build your own tomb?" Duan De asked hurriedly.

Before this, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Li Zhi, but he was powerless.

Now, he found that Li Zhi was willing to appear in front of him, obviously he had something to say to him.

"It's not that I don't want to live anymore, it's just that there are more important and meaningful things waiting for me." Li Zhi said.

"Indeed, living is not the purpose. If life is no longer exciting, dying may be the right choice," said Duan De.

After experiencing hundreds of life and death experiences, Duan De's attitude towards life has long changed.

I don't even think that it is the right thing to do to wipe out the entire weird clan.

He was quite clear about the principle that once the enemies outside disappeared, the inside would inevitably decay.

Now, this seemingly beautiful world has actually lost its former spirituality in his eyes.

After the two exchanged some views, they instantly felt like they were back in the past.

Then, Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Why hasn't the Emperor been resurrected? Aren't you good friends who are both teachers and friends?"

"Do you think I, the Taoist priest, can reflect the people who were killed by the Emperor of Heaven?" Duan De looked at Li Zhi speechlessly.

"You brought me here, not just to reminisce about the past, right?"

"Nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes, Taoist priest." Li Zhi smiled.

Over the years, he has realized that no matter what he does, his fate is already arranged, and just because he does something earth-shattering will not change that predetermined fate.

Therefore, he wanted to get together with his old friends in the little time he had left.

In fact, Li Zhi already knew about Emperor Zun's life, but he felt that it was a bit too hasty for such a person with such a huge influence to disappear like this.

The reason for summoning Duan De over was, firstly, to say goodbye, and secondly, to observe together what the world of Shrouding the Sky would be like if the Emperor had not died.

"You are really bored." After hearing Li Zhi's purpose, Duan De was even more speechless.

How bored must a person be to constantly stir up the river of time and change the course of ancient history?

"Do you think that if everything of the Emperor is transferred to the little fat boy born in the Cauldron of Immortality, will he surpass Ye Fan, the ruthless man and the Emperor Wu Shi?" Li Zhi said.

"It's really a pity for Yufeng. He has never been able to display his special talent that transcends fate." Duan De also felt regretful.

The ancestral fish fry in the exotic waterfall sea can transform into Kunpeng after breaking free from the shackles of fate.

The spirit of the Chengxian Ding is even more special.

His birth contains the true way of creation.

Instead of refining the World Cauldron, it would be better for the Emperor to train that little fat boy wholeheartedly.

The limit of the World Cauldron is at best a magical weapon of the Immortal King.

But the little fat boy's limits have long surpassed the heaven and earth.

According to Li Zhi's observation, he should be the most talented person in the era of Shrouding the Sky.

What chaotic body, innate holy body, and Taoist fetus are nothing compared to him.

However, this special talent that transcends fate was not guided and developed by a famous teacher, and eventually he gradually fell into the ranks of the ordinary people.

He should be able to become a true immortal without going through the mortal world's path to becoming an immortal.

Li Zhi is not optimistic about Ye Fan's ability to teach.

He has never proven that he has the ability to train mortals into peerless geniuses.

Whether they are direct disciples or registered disciples, they are all people with extraordinary talents.

In the era of Shrouding the Heavens, looking across the heavens, it seems that there are no truly famous teachers.

Everyone becomes a Great Emperor through their own exploration and practice. Moreover, the Great Emperor is a kind of Tao fruit bestowed by heaven and earth.

This has led to a situation where it is difficult to tell who is superior among the great emperors of ancient times.

After the two chatted for a while about Emperor Yufeng's talent, Duan De asked, "Boy, do you want to revive the emperor?"

"I don't have that interest." Li Zhi quickly shook his head.

Li Zhi thought it was nonsense to interpret the Era of Shrouding the World as "the day when the Emperor was reborn".

The structure of the world of Shrouding the Heavens can be said to have been drawn by the Emperor himself.

Even the Emperor completely ended the influence of the previous era on future generations and swept away all the antiques lurking between heaven and earth.

This made the Nine Heavenly Lords the oldest beings in that ancient history.

"That's good." Duan De asked, "Then you invited me here, didn't you just want to reminisce about the past?"

"I have a question to ask you." Li Zhi said.

"What's the problem?" Duan De asked.

"What do you think is missing in my life?" Li Zhi asked directly.

"Fight." After pondering for a long time, Duan De told Li Zhi an unexpected answer.

"The battle in the human realm may seem insignificant, but it is actually because of the battle in the human realm that the invincibility of Emperor Huang Tian and the domineering power of Emperor Ye Tian were nurtured. Although you have an excellent talent for cultivation and a special fate, you took too many shortcuts in the process of cultivation in the human realm."

Duan De revealed the fundamental reason why Li Zhi was in trouble.

Yes, it is a battle in the humanitarian field.

In the same amount of time, Ye Fan had experienced several times more battles in the humanitarian field than Li Zhi.

The wonderful life in youth is the source of beautiful memories in adulthood.

Emperor Ye Tian is like this.

This is even more true for Emperor Huang Tian. All the suffering he experienced occurred when he was young.

Therefore, a young man who lacks tempering, even if he grows into a towering tree, cannot form a forest alone, and needs the help of other big trees to protect him from wind and rain.

"fighting?"

After a moment of silence, Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's a battle."

The chance to start his life over again did not kill his adult mentality, making him spend his teenage years in a mature way.

It really left a regret.

No one is young forever.

Unfortunately, he did not seize the opportunity given by the ruthless emperor.

Now it seems that the smooth sailing youth was of no help to me when I grew up.

Looking back at that ordinary boyhood in the long river of time, Li Zhi suddenly realized that he could never go back.

Even if he could change the course of time and let the young man in ancient history experience countless battles.

But it doesn't help him now.

"Thank you, Uncle Taoist, for clearing up my doubts." Finally, Li Zhi thanked Duan De.

Duan De said, "I should be the one to thank you. If you hadn't secretly guided me to accumulate the Supreme Samsara Seal for lifetime after lifetime, I wouldn't have been able to become a being above the Dao of Sacrifice in such a short time."

Li Zhi said: "It is all because of your great blessings, Taoist priest."

After chatting for a while, Duan De left.

Li Zhi also looked at his teenage self and fell into deep thought.

Finally, his will took over himself in the ancient forest.

Then I didn't go to the primitive ruins to train like I did in the past.

Instead, he entered the Lingxu Cave.

Afterwards, he embarked on a similar path to Weiwei.

He was sent to the Yaoguang Holy Land by Lingxu Cave Heaven as a fairy seedling.

Then he was attacked by surprise and controlled by the protector, who planned to give his life source to the Holy Son Yaoguang.

However, under the protection of his quasi-emperor magic weapon, he managed to survive and killed the protector.

Then he obtained the incomplete Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.

Afterwards, he began his journey of rising through a hundred battles, during which he was hunted by people all over the world.

But the more he killed, the stronger he became, and with the help of the Stealing Heaven Scripture, he developed an immortal demon body.

He became a well-known and peerless devil on the ancient star Beidou.

Killed all the way to the quasi-emperor realm.

Finally, he even competed with the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone and fought his way deep into the road to becoming an immortal.

It transformed into a flawless and peerless immortal fetus.

Li Zhi was quite satisfied when he saw himself in ancient history.

Although he did not have the passion and excitement that is typical of a young boy in battle, he did at least feel a bit of the joy of fighting.

However, his battles seemed a bit boring and lacked a strong sense of immersion.

Then he set his sights on Ye Fan in the main channel of the River of Time.

It’s not that I want to replace Ye Fan.

Instead, he wanted to increase Ye Fan's strength.

Let him experience the feeling of being defeated.

Experience the feeling of the ancient emperor who failed all the way.

Let’s see, can Ye Fan, who has failed all the way, still forge that invincible heart of Tao?
Afterwards, Li Zhi’s thoughts turned into thousands and then merged into the bodies of Ye Fan’s opponents from different periods.

First, it is the Golden-winged Peng King.

Although the human race's holy body is powerful, the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc is also extraordinary.

It’s just that the Golden-winged Peng King lacks the true baptism of holy medicine.

If he could have gone through three physical baptisms like in the Perfect Era, his physical strength would definitely have increased significantly.

After Li Zhi's thoughts entered his body, the Golden-Winged Peng King went to the wilderness to look for precious medicine.

Finally, a real king of medicine was obtained in the Immortal Mountain.

Afterwards, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, whose body had undergone special baptism, displayed his true dragon-binding power when fighting against the Wind Clan and Ye Fan.

The fighting power is so strong that it is simply shocking.

Only then did everyone realize how incredible the real dragon was.

After defeating Ye Fan, the Golden-winged Peng King became much more arrogant.

But he died in the end.

But he did not die at the hands of Ye Fan, but at the hands of the Holy Son Yaoguang.

Li Zhi had not expected this outcome.

The blood of the pure-blooded Roc is extraordinary and is an excellent nutrient for the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.

Afterwards, Ye Fan practiced hard, but was chased by the Son of God again.

The Holy Son of Daoyi and the Holy Son of Dayan have each received epic enhancements, making Ye Fan run around in a hurry.

But he always manages to get away with it by various means.

It's really surprising.

In this way, Li Zhi transformed into all of Ye Fan's opponents, making him feel like he was surrounded by "Li Zhi".
