Continuing to climb up the stairs, the mountain road in front of you is much wider. When you reach the top, a platform appears.

However, where the steps and the platform meet, there is a stone door.

To be precise, it has a frame but no door.

Beside the stone gate, stood an old man with a stooped back, white beard and hair, and a crooked cane in his hand.

There were coughing sounds from time to time, and it seemed that without the crutch in his hand, the old man might collapse at any time.

Li Zhi unconsciously increased his vigilance, because the old man in front of him had the cultivation level of "Da Luo Jinxian", and what was even more terrifying was that he was actually in the late stage of "Da Luo Jinxian".

That’s one level higher than Yang Jian’s cultivation level!

Who is this person?

"Welcome Master home——"

The old man saw Li Zhi and bowed down excitedly, looking even more rickety.

Li Zhi was already a little numb. He was called "Master" by so many people, especially the old man with profound cultivation in front of him. He was convinced that these people or animals must have recognized the wrong person.

Or is this a huge trap?

"May I ask this old man, who are you?..."

Although he was facing a huge temptation, Li Zhi didn't want to accept it in a daze.

"Mr. Ze, the master doesn't seem to know us, but the portrait you showed us looks like this..."

The black crane, still unable to change its eager temper, interjected from the side.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, you stay here later, I will take the master in to explain."

The rickety old man known as "Ze Lao" did not blame the black crane for its rude remarks. Instead, he comforted it with a smile.

"Master, I know that you have countless doubts in your mind. Please come with me to discuss them in detail."

The old man bowed and was extremely humble, especially his spring-like words, which made Li Zhi find no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll ask Mr. Ze to lead the way..."

Having come this far, Li Zhi naturally has no possibility of retreating.

What's more, Li Zhi has conquered the island protection formation here. In just a few inches, Li Zhi seems to be able to control everything on this island, including the life and death of this powerful "Daluo Jinxian"?

Here, he is the sky, he is the earth, and he is the unique master of this place!

After the stone gate, there is another world.

The first thing that comes into view is a large square, large enough to seat more than a thousand people on the floor.

In the center of the square, there is a stone platform. The stone platform is about three feet high. Looking from the bottom up, it is misty and seems to have a protective barrier.

What surprised Li Zhi was that he couldn't feel the existence on the stone platform. What would be there?

"Master, you have indeed never set foot here before, and this is our first time seeing you!"

Ze Lao's words confirmed Li Zhi's judgment, but he was even more confused.

"I didn't expect that the master would be a human race. I don't know if you have been reincarnated and re-cultivated, or you are still under the arrangement of heaven."

"However, I will not feel wrong about the 'True Sun Fire' on your body. I can even sense the existence of that object."

"As for your appearance, please let the master take a look——"

Ze Lao waved his sleeves, and a shadow screen appeared on the stone platform, but Li Zhi felt it was more like a water curtain movie from later generations.

There is a person on top of him, wearing an imperial crown. Although he is a virtual shadow, he can still feel the majestic aura of the other person.

The screen was silent, and what surprised Li Zhi was that the appearance of the man above was indeed 89% similar to his own.

"Mr. Ze, based on these, do you and them conclude that I am your master? Isn't it a bit rash to act like this?"

Although all kinds of "evidence" seemed to be available, Li Zhi still couldn't believe it because he really didn't have any memory in this regard.

Unless his body is not only the body of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi, but also the memory of another person.

Unfortunately, the only person who dominates this body now is himself from later generations.

"Haha, the evidence is dead, but the old man is alive. Although the old man is dull, he is not blind."

This old man, Ze, is said to be "stupid", but anyone can see from his wise eyes that he has the confidence and pride to see through everything in the world.

“May I ask Mr. Ze’s honorific title?”

"Daluo Jinxian"'s later cultivation and his contempt for the world made Li Zhi curious about this old man's true identity.

"Haha, my subordinate Bai Ze, please see the master——"

The old man shook the sleeves of his robe and bowed respectfully to Li Zhi again. There was no trace of rickets at all?

Baize?

The military advisor that Demon Emperor Jun relied on most back then was also the Demon Saint with the highest status in the Demon Court. He was truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

It is said that he looks like a lion, with a snow-white body, a single horn on his head, and a goatee. He exudes peace and wisdom, and is the most amiable person among all the demon saints.

Rumor has it that although Bai Ze is not good at fighting, he knows astronomy and geography as well as trivial matters.

In the past, Xiao Weiwei was an unrivaled schemer. It was thanks to his calculations that Demon Emperor Jun was able to win over the hearts of all demons and secure the Demon Clan's heaven.

After the Lich War, he hid in Luzhou, Beiju, and never appeared again.

Later, at the request of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, he painted the "Baize Monster Picture", which included the morphological characteristics of the world's spirits to help the human race defend against spirits, so it was regarded as an auspicious beast.

How come he appears here?

Yes, this is still the relic of the Lich War. Maybe Bai Ze escaped to Beiju Luzhou and had to wait for the Witch Clan to finish the war. Maybe...

However, Li Zhi felt something was wrong.

If this old man is that Bai Ze, then he must regard himself as the reincarnation of that person.

However, here are the ruins of the Lich's battlefield. So, how did he know the outcome of the Lich War?

"It turns out to be the Great God Bai Ze. I wonder what the Great God thinks of the Lich War?"

Having met many great masters, Li Zhi gradually gained immunity and was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.

This kind of demeanor, in Bai Ze's eyes, makes him more stable and mysterious.

"Why does the master ask questions knowingly? In the battle between the lich and the lich, both sides suffered losses. The two emperors died, and who among the demon clan and the witch clan got the slightest advantage?..."

What Bai Ze said next, Li Zhi didn't hear clearly, his mind was already buzzing.

Li Zhi has understood one thing. The space he is in now is no longer the "secret realm of trials". Otherwise, how would Bai Ze know the outcome of the Lich War?

"Master Bai Ze, then where is this place? Why do you appear here?"

"Haha, it seems that the master really has no memory. When the Demon Emperor Jun died, he used his last strength to cut through the void and threw the old man into the river of time."

"When the old man woke up again, he was already on this isolated island. Although he survived the disaster, he was isolated from those old brothers."

"Unfortunately, this island turns out to be the legendary 'Yingzhou'. There is also this high platform here. Whether you are an old master or not, please go up to the high platform and have a try."

"Perhaps only those who obey the orders can unlock the secret of this high platform. I have tried for thousands of years and still found nothing."

After saying that, Bai Ze stepped aside and gave way to the high platform.

The high platform is three feet long, but I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. There is no trace of knife work and axe. It seems that everything comes from nature.

Before Li Zhi took a step, the big black gun in the sea of ​​consciousness began to stir.

"Boy, hurry up... hurry up, the 'innate treasure', I didn't expect it to be that thing. It has never recognized its owner. How... why is it here?"

After so many years, in Li Zhi's eyes, Da Hei Qiang has always been a guy with "higher goals than the top". It seems that nothing in the Three Realms is taken seriously by him.

Unexpectedly, it would be so excited?

The three-foot-three high platform couldn't be easier for Li Zhi. He jumped up and flew up, but in front of him was really a mist.

Li Zhi took another step forward and actually stepped on the ground?

The surrounding scenery changed again, and we came to a white world. The road ahead was not smooth, but it was a little soft when we stepped on it.

The intoxicating fragrance filled the air, and Li Zhi felt that his entire soul had been purified.

"Haha, boy, thank you so much, I... my injury will hopefully be fully recovered within a hundred years!"

Such a refreshing fragrance made Li Zhi's mood feel indescribably transparent, as if he was being caressed slowly by a gentle hand, starting from the deepest part of his soul.

However, the big black gun screamed joyfully at an inappropriate time, looking so elated that it almost broke out of its body.

Li Zhi didn't know why, but he still walked forward slowly step by step, as if something was calling him.

I have passed through many peaks, what kind of peaks are they?

Translucent milky white, occasionally dotted with a hint of pink and purple, just like the blood of the human body.

"Senior Qi Ling, why do I feel like we have entered a confined space?"

Not sure how much time had passed, Li Zhi walked through three relatively independent but almost completely similar scenes in a row. Every place was so dreamy that he even became obsessed with it and couldn't bear to leave.

"Haha, you are not a very strange boy. You have only walked through three roads. Keep walking. You can only enter the door after walking through twelve roads."
