The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 492 Signing in at the Place of Enlightenment
Unlike the nine levels ahead.

The tenth level of the Ancient Road of Humanity does not have any specific trial ground.

If we were to put it another way, we could say that the ancient star beneath the tenth city is the trial ground for this city.

Similarly, it can be said that the entire star field where the tenth level is located is also a trial ground.

Those who reach the tenth trial can travel to the Sainthood Star below or this entire star system at any time to undergo trials and battle against some of the giant star beasts that inhabit this star field.

However, this also has limitations.

For example, on the Sainthood Star below this city, there are some forbidden areas that the guides are not allowed to set foot in under normal circumstances.

Most of those forbidden areas were occupied by powerful sacred beasts from the ancient star below, or involved certain secrets that could not be revealed.

For the safety of some trial participants, and for those secrets that cannot be revealed.

Therefore, those places were designated as forbidden areas or restricted zones, and trial participants were strictly prohibited from setting foot there on ordinary days.

As the old saying goes, rules are set up to be broken.

When a person becomes powerful enough, all rules become meaningless to them.

There are absolutely no rules that can bind or restrict them.

Clearly, some of the rules of this tenth city are also included in this nominal category.

Whether it was the Great Demon God, Di Tian, ​​or Qing Shi, Ba Wang, and others, when they came to this tenth city, they all set foot in some places on Cheng Sheng Star that were not allowed to be trodden.

Most of the time, the more something is forbidden, the stronger its attraction to people becomes.

The reason why Di Tian and others set foot in those forbidden areas was that sometimes the guides granted them permission.

Sometimes they go there quietly on their own.

This has almost become common knowledge.

The guide turned a blind eye to this, as long as he didn't cause any major trouble.

Over the years, one of the main reasons why so many trial participants have been able to stay in the Tenth City for so long is undoubtedly the areas on the Saint Star that are normally off-limits.

Rumor has it that those forbidden zones not only contain the Medicine King, but also Emperor Scriptures or ancestral artifacts of the human race.

According to ancient legend, in the trials that occur every ten thousand years, young emperors or human lords with invincible physiques have received astonishing and heaven-defying fortunes in certain forbidden zones of the ancient star below, which have made them even stronger as if divinely aided.

Crises, most of the time, come together.

Ninety-nine percent of the trial participants who had been waiting in the tenth city were all eyeing certain forbidden zones on the Saint Star, waiting for an opportunity to enter those forbidden zones.

Lu Zhou was having some bad luck.

Clearly, in the near future, the city's guides have no intention of granting trial participants access to those restricted areas.

As far as Lu Zhou knew, the last time this access was granted was several years ago, when the group of trial participants led by Overlord arrived in the Tenth City.

However, none of this mattered to Lu Zhou.

On this ancient road, no one can stop him from going wherever he wants now.

Lu Zhou led Kane and the others smoothly through the teleportation array located in the city center square, and arrived outside the tenth level.

Then they descended upon the Star of Sainthood.

This star is indeed extraordinary.

The closer you get to it, the more you can feel its weight and vastness.

Especially when Lu Zhou and his group stepped onto the land of Cheng Sheng Star, even Kane, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"As expected of the sacred star known as the land of enlightenment, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Hongluan and the Golden-Winged Roc King also deeply agreed with this.

He thought to himself, "No wonder this star has been so highly regarded along the way; it is indeed extraordinary."

This ancient star appears extremely primitive and wild, with abundant vital energy and the constant roar of the Great Dao. It not only makes it easier for cultivators on this ancient star to cultivate, but also allows them to more easily fall into enlightenment.

This is absolutely a rare and sacred land for cultivation.

Clearly, although it is a sacred land for cultivation, it is also very dangerous.

Because of this unique cultivation environment, many powerful sacred beasts and ancient beasts reside on this planet.

It is rumored that deep within certain forbidden zones, there exist terrifying beings no weaker than that Tyrannosaurus Rex Monarch.

Wild, violent, bloody, and slaughterful.
This is also one of the true reflections of this ancient star.

Lu Zhou and his group had only been on this ancient star for a short time when they witnessed no fewer than a dozen battles and fights between ancient beasts, between trial participants and ancient beasts, or between trial participants themselves.

There were even powerful sacred beasts that seemed to have their eyes on this group of people who had only recently arrived on this planet.

In the end, as if they had a keen sense that Lu Zhou and his group were not easy to mess with, most of them retreated.

Those who didn't retreat, or those who actively attacked Lu Zhou and his group, all became their food.

These scenes were witnessed by some trial participants who happened to be passing by, or by other ancient beasts.

In just a few days, the road ahead that Lu Zhou and his group were traveling on gradually became smoother and smoother.

Few ancient beasts came to attack them, and eventually, it became extremely rare to see an ancient beast appear near them.

Even when Lu Zhou and his group ventured into the lair of some ancient beasts, the same thing happened.

They treated their whole group like a plague.

When the ancient beast sensed that this group of butchers was heading towards its territory, it grabbed all their belongings and fled into the distance.

It was as if they were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be skinned and deboned by the group of butchers, roasted over a fire, or thrown into a big pot to stew.

As Lu Zhou and his companions continued their journey, small-scale beast migrations began to occur on Cheng Sheng Star.

Along with these migrations, news also spread that a group of gluttonous butchers had arrived on the planet of Cheng Sheng.

Rumor has it that the butchers had an insatiable appetite.

He is proficient in everything from frying, grilling, stewing, and stir-frying.

Ouch!

It smells amazing.

Even from hundreds of miles away, you can smell the mouthwatering aroma.

I heard that the butchers are bloodthirsty. Anyone who falls into their hands or gets in their way will be eaten by them.

"This is slander."

Hongluan protested by rubbing her lower abdomen.

They believe that certain rumors are absolutely the biggest slander against their group.

The saying "three men can make a tiger" is probably no more true than this.

Hongluan asked herself if they had ever actively hunted any ancient beasts or started any bloodshed.

What ended up on their table were all those ancient beasts that had grown bold and dared to attack them.

However, her protests were relatively quiet, far outpaced by the spread of certain rumors.

Under these circumstances, Lu Zhou and his companions were able to travel very smoothly on Cheng Sheng Star, with far fewer troubles.

In just a few months, they not only traveled to all the places marked on the map that Qing Shi gave to Lu Zhou.

Even some of the places that were highlighted in the original work, Lu Zhou and his group have already explored.

For example, the lake where the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon resided, mentioned in the original work.

For example, Dayuepo, etc.!
At Dayuepo, Lu Zhou successfully located the ancient secret palace suspected to have been left by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, using the information recorded on the map.

They didn't find anything new inside; Qing Shi had cleaned the entire cave very thoroughly.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and decided not to sign in here.

After leaving the secret palace, they also ventured deep into Dayuepo.

Finally, Lu Zhou lingered deep within Dayuepo for a while, carefully considering the matter. He changed his mind and decided not to rashly open the ancient well where the Moral Celestial Venerable suppressed and refined the ancestor of the Holy Spirit lineage.

They left Dayuepo and headed towards another ancient star-marked place that was closest to them.

When the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon heard from some migrating ancient beasts that the Tyrant Immortals were only a thousand miles away from its lair and were heading straight towards it...

The nine-tailed crocodile dragon was so scared it almost peed its pants.

In recent days, it had already heard that Ba Xian and his gang had roasted several ancient beasts that were at the half-step Saint King level.

Half a month ago, it even saw Lu Zhou and others from afar, stringing up a sacred crocodile and having some kind of open-air barbecue.

Even from a distance, you can smell the irresistible aroma that makes your mouth water.

As luck would have it, that sacred crocodile was also the mortal enemy of the nine-tailed crocodile dragon.

They had fought for many years, with the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon losing more often than it won. Watching that scene from afar, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was so frightened that all nine of its tails became knotted.

The cries and pleas for mercy of that sacred crocodile, along with the image of it sizzling and dripping oil as it was roasted, seemed to still echo endlessly in the mind of the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon, even though half a month had passed.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon never expected to be so unlucky; the group of butchers actually strolled straight towards its lair.

This Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was truly trembling with fear.

Then, like the other ancient beasts that ran away, it packed up all its belongings that it could take with it as quickly as possible, abandoned its lair, and decisively ran away.

In the end, Lu Zhou didn't have to spend much effort to discover the Demon Emperor Cave, which the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon had never found before, right in its lair!

Lu Zhou checked his attribute panel.

The panel still displays the check-in information.

just
It wasn't because this was the Demon Emperor's Cave that he was allowed to sign in.

Rather, it's because this place is located on this ancient life-bearing planet, the Land of Enlightenment, that allows him to sign in.

This situation is the same as when Lu Zhou was at Dayuepo.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou was too lazy to wait any longer.

It seems he only has one chance to check in on this star.

Immediately, Lu Zhou silently signed in.

[Ding! Host has reached the tenth level of the Land of Enlightenment. The host has gained three Great Emperor-level comprehensions, which have been stored in the host's Chaos Pearl!]

Lu Zhou was startled, and his eyes lit up instantly.

'It's actually Emperor-level comprehension?'

His face was full of smiles.

Lu Zhou had almost forgotten how long it had been since he had a chance to use his Emperor-level comprehension through a daily sign-in.

He had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.

As his cultivation deepened and his knowledge broadened, he came to realize more profoundly the preciousness and terror of Emperor-level comprehension.

Such an opportunity, when applied to different people, yields results that can only be described as vastly different.

Ultimately, this is related to the cultivation knowledge and foundation that each person possesses when using Emperor-level enlightenment.

To put it simply, let's use a simple analogy.

That is when a person's understanding of spiritual practice and their foundation in spiritual practice, when combined, are only at a kindergarten level.

Therefore, the gains he made from using his Emperor-level comprehension once would certainly be incomparable to those of a cultivator whose overall conditions have reached the level of a college student.

The results of the two approaches are worlds apart.

To reiterate, even if an Emperor-level comprehension can create something from nothing, the prerequisite is that the person must at least have a certain foundation.

If you don't even understand what cultivation is, or what the Wheel of Life, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform are.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for you to become a saint or even comprehend an imperial scripture by relying solely on the time it takes to use an emperor-level comprehension.

The saying "a tall building rises from the ground" means that a tall building has a solid foundation.

"It seems the system also approves of me further developing and perfecting my Dao and my Wuji Scripture on this planet known as the Land of Enlightenment!"

This was a plan that Lu Zhou had made a long time ago.

He still remembered that Ye Tiandi in the original story created the Wheel Sea Scroll of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture on this very star where he became a saint.

Lu Zhou has cultivated for decades, and he is no longer the same person who relied solely on his understanding of the original work.

With three imperial scriptures, Dao Palace cultivation, a little bit of immortal divine elixir, plus a chance to use a Great Emperor-level comprehension, a young cultivator could get carried away and dream of creating scriptures and opening up new paths.

Now, he has studied the Imperial Scriptures over the years, numbering in the double digits, and the scriptures and cultivation insights beneath them are countless.

He even had some knowledge of immortal techniques and arts such as the True Dragon Technique, the Qilin Technique, and the Heaven-Mending Technique, which were renowned throughout the world during the Chaotic Ancient Era.

If it weren't for the problems with the world he was in, Lu Zhou could have become an immortal even if he were just a lazy bum, simply by cultivating the Heaven-Mending Technique step by step.

Over the years, he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience, which has broadened his horizons, deepened his understanding of spiritual practice, and enhanced his spiritual foundation.

It can be said that, looking across the entire universe, even including all the supreme beings in forbidden zones, no one can compare to him.

Even if he didn't get the chance to sign in three times to boost his Emperor-level comprehension right now, Lu Zhou was still fully confident that he could refine the rudimentary scripture that he had been constantly deducing and perfecting over the years.

Further refinement was carried out here, to the point that it could trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

Not long after, Lu Zhou and his group left the Demon Emperor's Cave.

He simply made a copy of the contents recorded in those nine ancient jade slips and took it with him.

Following the old custom, they also left a trace of their visit to the Demon Emperor's Cave.

I'm sure that when the time comes, it will bring a knowing smile to Emperor Ye's face.

Apart from these, they didn't touch anything else.

They did not take the nine ancient jade slips, nor the peach pit.

They even restored the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Cave when they left.

The restoration was flawless; even if the nine-tailed crocodile dragon returned here, it wouldn't be able to detect it.

The jade slip left here by Xue Yueqing clearly had a great impact and attraction on the Golden-Winged Roc King, who was a demon, and their three mounts.

One of the jade slips contains the method by which the demon race purifies its own blood, gradually generating dragon blood, and then condenses and purifies it.

Some jade slips contain records of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing's cultivation insights and thoughts at the Saint level.

These are priceless treasures, and can be considered as foundational legacies by various powerful forces.

Lu Zhou only glanced at the method for generating and purifying dragon blood, and then didn't look at it a second time.

There was no other reason; the Demon Emperor's Scripture, which he had signed for in the Demon Emperor's Palace back then, contained such a method.

Moreover, it was an advanced version of the method that Empress Xueyue Qingcheng further improved and perfected.

The advanced method is not only more efficient in generating and purifying dragon blood, but it also doesn't have to be as bloody and disgusting as the one recorded in this jade slip.

Both Yan Ruyu and the Dragon Girl had already studied and comprehended the entire Demon Emperor Scripture.

The Dragon Girl once raised her fist to Lu Zhou, indicating that with this method of nurturing and purifying dragon blood, as well as the True Dragon Method and the True Dragon Pearl, she was confident that, given time, she would definitely be able to transform into a pure-blooded true dragon in the future.

Lu, who really enjoys being a dragon knight, says he approves and is looking forward to it!
The Dragon Girl understood instantly, and gave a glare with a mix of sanctity and allure to the eager fellow.

Of all the contents recorded in these nine jade slips, the one that most interested Lu Zhou was clearly the one that recorded some of the thoughts of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing.

After leaving the Demon Emperor's Cave, Lu Zhou studied it in detail.

This can be seen as him transcending time and space to have a dialogue with the young demon emperor and engage in some intellectual exchanges.

Lu Zhou and his group did not stray far from the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon's lair.

The lake here is like a mirror, filled with rich, misty energy. The lake shore is lined with rugged cliffs, ancient trees, and fragrant herbs. It's almost a painting.

They unceremoniously occupied the place, intending to make temporary rest here.

A few days later, it was estimated that Lu Zhou and the others had left their lair, and the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon, which was preparing to go home, was suddenly rendered helpless.

It was extremely depressed, and from a great distance, it repeatedly muttered various curses against Lu Zhou and the others.

While Lu Zhou and the others claimed to be resting, they were actually all undergoing tribulations and breakthroughs.

Even the tribulations they triggered during their minor breakthroughs still terrified the figures of the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon and others who were watching them from afar.

Especially when Lu Zhou broke through and triggered the heavenly tribulation, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

It thought with great anticipation that Lu Zhou and his gang would finally have to leave its lair.

As it turned out, after completing his tribulation, Lu Zhou, like an old monk in deep meditation, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on a cliff by the lake for a long time without moving.

This has driven the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon to the point that it's almost considering abandoning its lair and looking for another place.

Just as this thought arose in its mind, it suddenly saw a series of terrifying celestial phenomena appearing in the sky above Luzhou.

This immediately stopped it from taking another step as it was about to leave.

"Sigh~"

"How could there be such a terrifying celestial phenomenon?"

"Could it be that he triggered it?"

The nine-tailed crocodile dragon's eyes, through the void, were fixed on Lu Zhou, who was still sitting cross-legged on the cliff, motionless.

"What is he doing?"

At this time, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was certainly not the only one with this question.
