Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Having made up his mind, Li Zhi continued to practice magic.

He must race against time to practice and improve his strength, because he doesn't have much time left.

Or, it should be said that Master Liu doesn’t have much time left.

Li Zhi recalled the scene when he met Master Liu when he went out today. At that time, Master Liu looked haggard, and his whole body exuded an aura of death and decay.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Immortal Master Liu was nearing the end of his life.

Even Uncle Ouyang, who usually came to visit Master Liu every few days, hasn't come for a long time.

He could also see that Immortal Master Liu was running out of life and was afraid that he didn't have much time left.

All this made Li Zhi feel more and more annoyed, because now Master Liu seemed to have abandoned his previous disguise because his life span was coming to an end.

Now, whenever Master Liu looked at Li Zhi, his gaze was like a hungry wolf staring at a sheep. This undisguised, desire-filled look made Li Zhi feel like a lamb to be slaughtered.

This feeling of being targeted made Li Zhi feel uncomfortable all over. He knew that the relationship between him and Master Liu was about to come to an end.

"call--"

Li Zhi exhaled heavily, as if to spit out all the troubles and worries in his heart. His eyes gradually became firm and he no longer thought about the things that upset him.

Now, he just wants to focus on improving his own strength, and do his best to arm and strengthen himself.

In this way, even if the master-disciple relationship really comes to a breakup, he will not be afraid of Master Liu!

In this way, Li Zhi began to concentrate on cultivation again.

Five rays of light burst out from his body, and Li Zhi felt the power of the five elements circulating in his body.

The fire of the heart, the wood of the liver, and even the trace of gold energy in his lungs were aroused.

The heart, liver, and lungs among the five internal organs are actually getting stronger under the operation of the five elements.

Li Zhi was not at all surprised by this.

Because he had discovered this situation when he first practiced the Five Elements and Five Armors Technique.

This technique of the five elements and five armors actually complements the five internal organs meridians.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi was able to block 40% of Bai Zhan’s powerful attack after only practicing for more than two months.

Otherwise, no matter how talented and intelligent Li Zhi was, he would never be able to practice the Five Elements and Five Armors to such a level in just two months.

The art of the Five Elements and Five Armors is more difficult to practice than the art of transforming the Qi realm, because the Five Elements and Five Armors require the cultivation of the Five Elements to refine the Five Armors.

Practicing one element and refining one armor is equivalent to practicing a magic spell. Practicing five elements and refining five armors is equivalent to spending five times the time and energy to practice.

This is also the reason why Master Liu did not intend to let Li Zhi practice this spell at the beginning, because it takes too much time.

If Li Zhi had not practiced this technique to conceal the five internal organs, Master Liu might not have allowed him to practice this magic.

Although five-colored lights appeared on Li Zhi's body when he used the Five Elements and Five Armors, he actually only cultivated two armors, namely the Fire Armor and the Wood Armor.

It was only with the help of the heart fire and liver wood that Li Zhi was able to cultivate the fire armor and wood armor in more than two months.

However, compared to the rapid progress of Fire Armor and Wood Armor, the others are not as fast.

Because the golden armor is driven by a trace of gold energy, Li Zhi estimates that it will take at least some time before the effects can be seen.

This is also the technique of the five elements and five armors, and is different from the realm of Qi transformation.

The Qi transformation realm mainly relies on the development of the spellcaster, while the Five Elements and Five Armors technique is a spell that requires a lot of effort.

No matter how eager Li Zhi was, and no matter how great his talent was, he still needed to practice diligently.

The speed of cultivation slowed down, and Li Zhi could only practice harder.

So, he didn't waste any words and continued to practice the Five Elements and Five Armors technique.

 …

At this time, in the cave of Master Liu.

Master Liu woke up from his meditation. At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary old man in his twilight years.

His thin and gaunt body could be felt even through the loose Taoist robe. Although the sinister look on his face was the same as before, his face was now gaunt and haggard, and compared to the previous one, he looked like two different people.

"Cough cough!"

Master Liu covered his chest and coughed twice.

Then a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, "It's almost there...it's almost there..."

It seemed as if something that made him happy was about to happen.

Then he closed his eyes and tapped the table beside him rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Master Liu seemed to have fallen asleep. Apart from his fingers still tapping on the table, his body did not move at all.

After a long time, Master Liu slowly opened his eyes.

He said to himself in a hoarse voice: "...Just teach him one more Spirit Pointing Finger. If you teach him more...I'm afraid this kid will turn hostile..."

"But...if he doesn't learn now, then...he won't be able to learn..."

Immortal Master Liu's hoarse and low laughter rang out in the cave.

Immortal Master Liu smiled and paused, then muttered, "Why not teach him the Three Absolute Swords... It's a pity that my sword pill was damaged, otherwise I could have given him a heavy attack spell."

There seemed to be some regret in Master Liu's words.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it. This kid has his own thoughts. I won't be his master. Let him make his own choice..."

Master Liu clearly said that he was considering Li Zhi, but his face was full of grim and sinister expression.

 …

Qinghe Village.

This is the village that Li Zhi once visited.

At this moment, the village looked completely different from when Li Zhi first came here.

The sky gradually darkened, and thick dark clouds rolled in like surging waves, instantly engulfing the entire sky. Then, a strong wind blew, like the roar of an angry beast.

The wind howled, sharp and shrill, as if it was going to tear everything in the world apart.

The village paths were empty at this moment, and the villagers seemed to have a tacit understanding and stayed at home obediently without going out.

However, the Qinghe River, which Qinghe Village is proud of, is not calm at this time.

Under the strong wind, the usually calm river surface surged with huge waves. The river water was like boiling water, surging and sweeping to both banks. Wherever it went, trees were uprooted and houses were soaked.

A figure covered with black scales was tumbling in the water. Its huge body was looming, and every swing of its body created splashes of water several feet high.

suddenly!

A huge black carp suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the river, emitting a strange light all over its body, and its inky black scales flashed a sinister cold light in the moonlight.

It twisted its body, and the huge waves it created were like a landslide!

It suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and a stream of water spurted out of its mouth, straight into the sky!

In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky that were rolling and piling up like raging waves were penetrated layer by layer by this column of water.

At the point where the cloud was pierced, a gap appeared in the dark and rolling clouds.

The huge black carp's eyes flashed with brilliance and it shot straight towards the gap.

"Boom-"

A bell rang out that only the big carp could hear.

The big carp was suspended in the air, its eyes showing excitement.

I saw a beam of light shining through the gap in the dark clouds, covering the big carp.

A voice full of sacredness and solemnity sounded!

"I am the List of Conferred Gods! In the name of heaven and earth, I will conduct the grand ceremony of conferring gods, to honor the loyalty and righteousness of the world, and to reward the merits of the wise!"

"I heard that there are fish in the Qinghe River, which moistens the earth, nourishes all things, tames the torrents, and protects the creatures from drought and flood disasters, and protects the creatures from peace. This is a great achievement..."

"...Today, in response to the heaven and earth, he is specially named the God of Qinghe River and is included in the list of gods!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil spirit on the big carp gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a majestic and sacred divinity!

The beam of light disappeared, and the big carp that had transformed into a river god flipped over in the air, suddenly fell down, and landed on the surface of the river.

In an instant, the surface of the river exploded, the river water flooded back, and the earth and sky shook!

Then, a deep and powerful voice came from the river.

"It's gone!"

As the sound rang out, the howling wind suddenly stopped, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, the gentle sunlight fell again, and the river water that had backflowed slowly flowed back into the river.

In the mess, a copper coin that had been washed up by the river at some point was stuck in the crack of a rock by the river. The half of the coin that was exposed was shining in the sunlight.
