Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 158 The Most Precious Treasure

For cultivators, changes in the cultivation environment are often fatal. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is like the tide, constantly rising and falling.

When the great path rises, a great wave surges across the world, and countless geniuses rise to prominence, composing magnificent epics.

When the Great Way declines, the world is shrouded in darkness, and talents wither away. For a long time, no one can attain enlightenment.

All of this is evidenced by the fact that this was the case at the end of the Primordial Era and the Desolate Era, when heaven and earth were in decline and the human world was utterly bleak.

Qi Zhe now believes that only creatures that can adapt to the changes of heaven and earth can stand out in this great world and leave behind their own legends.

Just as the Azure Emperor transformed from the elixir of immortality into a human form, making the best possible changes, it's more accurate to say that he completely adapted to the environment rather than being unbound by it.

In the latter half of his life, the Azure Emperor attempted to transform the world into a Celestial Realm within the Desolate Tower, but this ultimately led to his failure.

Qi Zhe fell into deep thought, and even after the heavenly tribulation disappeared, he did not leave, but sat on a half-destroyed mountaintop.

Now he is contemplating his future path, a path of spiritual practice that transcends himself and evolves continuously, a path that has long been revealed.

Qi Zhe once believed that continuous transformation was a broad road that could propel a person to an invincible state, and that everything would fall into place when the tide rises.

Later, he encountered the Great Dao again, gaining countless insights into it. His cultivation speed became outrageously fast, and he comprehended many ancient imprints.

Previously, he was unwilling to be tainted by the power of the mark, but now Qi Zhe is determined to adapt to that strange change in order to drive an unprecedented evolution.

"Three heads and six arms, sharp teeth and claws, wings and double pupils, all of these are now my nourishment!" Qi Zhe revealed a determined expression.

Qi Zhe then retrieved all the profound secrets of the Great Dao from the Divine Gate of Strange Phenomena and placed them into his origin, causing his body to undergo numerous transformations in an instant.

"laugh"

Suddenly, half a wing grew from Qi Zhe's back, and extra heads and arms kept trying to grow out, and even his eyes began to feel faintly hot.

Extra bones even began to grow inside his body, causing his body to swell up and become completely unlike a normal creature.

But now his body is incredibly powerful, covered with countless Dao patterns, so he naturally won't allow the changes to invade his entire body.

His body instinctively resisted this change, the extra bones growing out being squeezed by the normal skeleton, constantly making creaking sounds.

"A change has arisen from within my body, stimulating me to continue evolving!" Qi Zhe's expression was resolute; he was determined to tame all these changes.

Just then, Qi Zhe was suddenly surrounded by a series of illusions, and in an instant, he felt as if he were on a beach.

He saw many aquatic animals constantly coming ashore on the beach, then stumbling and falling into the gravel, emitting mournful cries.

Countless creatures died; they could not adapt to the earth's environment and could hardly survive away from lakes and oceans.

However, a small number of creatures adapted to the earth's environment, moved from the water to the land, and began to occupy a world that had no one.

"Life." The illusion before his eyes deeply moved Qi Zhe, and he suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

Life has limitless potential; every attempt will eventually yield results, and the answer is already written in the act of trying.

At this moment, Qi Zhe also sensed a strange force emerging from the source, which came from the instinct of biological evolution and was hidden in the boundless darkness.

Qi Zhe had previously ventured deep into the source without discovering it, but he had undoubtedly touched this power, which was why he awakened it.

"My ancestors did not possess earth-shattering power, but they left me with endless evolutionary possibilities, making me unlike any other living being in this world!" At this moment, Qi Zhe felt that he had found the treasure of his ancestors and sensed an astonishing evolutionary power surging out wildly.

It was so vast, containing endless possibilities, that it permeated Qi Zhe's entire body, beginning to assimilate all his mutations and embarking on an astonishing evolution.

His biological instincts were now in control, and unnecessary things were instantly erased, leaving only the essence in his bloodline waiting to be awakened.

Neither Qi Zhe's sharp teeth and claws nor his three heads and six arms could stop the cleansing power of evolution, no matter how ancient or powerful they came from.

Even the double pupils could only submit at this moment, becoming part of this evolution and gradually merging with his third eye.

Meanwhile, the strange bones within Qi Zhe's body kept rattling before being crushed by the power of evolution, and ancient runes were swept into the origin.

"It's been washed clean and has become my nourishment!" Qi Zhe was extremely excited, and he could clearly feel the changes around him.

His body has returned to normal, and now the power of evolution permeates his entire body. In terms of potential, he far surpasses his previous self, and his physical potential is limitless.

The ancient marks that had caused the mutations were cleansed by the power of evolution and transformed into nutrients for this evolution, thus completing his physical body.

But this change is not the end. Although the ancient imprints have disappeared, the profound insights into the Great Dao that were once preserved in the Divine Gate remain.

"But I've already figured it out, so it's useless to me," Qi Zhe said with some regret.

Without a doubt, the Great Dao is the wisdom of heaven and earth, possessing astonishing principles and truths. A little understanding of it is enough to make one's cultivation level soar.

In the past, Qi Zhe could not directly access it and could only comprehend it little by little. Now, he no longer cared about it and let his understanding of the Great Dao sink into its origin.

But Qi Zhe could also feel the Dao flowing into his mind like a clear spring, bringing more intuitive insights and giving him a lot of inspiration.

"Physical evolution has its limits, but my consciousness has infinite possibilities!"

Qi Zhe instantly had the idea of ​​evolving his own divine consciousness, feeling that his physical body had reached the limit of what it could currently achieve.

To make further progress on this foundation, one must work on one's consciousness, just as ancient emperors and sovereigns would undergo a transformation of their divine souls.

After realizing this, Qi Zhe made a decision: he began to continuously cultivate his own cultivation and improve his own condition.

He wanted to evolve his divine consciousness, but he couldn't do it on his own; he needed external stimulation.

Therefore, he thought of the curse that had always been hidden under his forehead, which was personally placed by the evil spirits of the old Yaochi site, and could steal people's souls with the slightest touch.

How can one improve without pressure? Qi Zhe felt that this curse could also become nourishment for him to become stronger, and could continuously hone his soul.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, Qi Zhe mobilized his divine power and poured it into the curse mark. The ghost claw mark instantly emitted a chilling aura and began to have a special consciousness born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Hehehe!" The consciousness let out a strange cry as soon as it appeared, and then tried to take over Qi Zhe's body.

Qi Zhe's consciousness was somewhat hazy in this state, but fortunately, his cultivation level had risen significantly, so it was not so easy to take it away.

But at this moment, long golden hair grew all over Qi Zhe's body again, causing the evolutionary power within him to surge violently and sweep over his entire body once more.

"What is this?!" Qi Zhe regained his senses in an instant and saw the power of evolution rushing towards the ghost claw mark, actually trying to assimilate it.
