Myriad Paths

Li Qi was still in his own thoughts.

In the past, he thought that true dragons might not be that powerful. After all, being born at the ninth level sounds like that. As an adult, you can easily reach the seventh level. In fact, many alien beast races can do it.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Why were the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit born at level seven?

That's because they have a unique Tao charm. The two sisters are transformed from the Tao charm of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron and the Luofu Empress. They are essentially part of their powerful authority.

They are born in the seventh grade, but they are unique. There will never be a Tao Yun born from the combination of the Sun Moon True Lead Cauldron and the Luofu Empress in the entire universe. Even if the couple gives birth to another pair, the result will be absolutely unique. It can't be the essence of the lunar yin and the essence of the sun, but other parts of their avenue.

When powerful beings give birth to children, they are not really giving birth to children, but taking apart part of their own path and turning it into life. This is different from 'reproduction' in the biological sense.

But a real dragon might be different...

The reproduction of true dragons is real reproduction.

They have copied themselves, which is how they can achieve this strength purely by relying on genes.

This is the scariest point——

Genes can be copied at will.

Although I don't know what restrictions there are, which makes the number of true dragons seem to be very small, but according to Li Qi's understanding...if it is pure reproduction, then the number of true dragons should be as many as the human race...

There are seven levels of the whole people, and the number is as many as the human race, which is trillions of trillions.

Are you worrying too much?

But judging from what Li Qi has seen so far, it seems that things are indeed developing in this direction.

Then, there must be other reasons behind the rarity of dragons that Li Qi doesn't know, and this may become the next target of exploration.

However, at this time, Li Qi suddenly felt someone pushing him.

"Sir! Are you still listening!?" Tears outside shouted.

The mermaid girl was already anxious. Li Qi suddenly fell into a sluggish state and stayed motionless. If this continued, he would collide with other nobles!

Therefore, in desperation, she actually reached out and touched Li Qi directly.

It was very likely that her hand would be cut off, but she didn't care about it anymore after she got anxious.

After Li Qi was pushed, he woke up from his thoughts and asked doubtfully: "What happened...wait, you just said that you bumped into the noble?"

When Li Qi was immersed in thinking, he didn't completely lose his alertness, and he could also hear voices. It was just that his brain subconsciously blocked these things, as if he could habitually block out the sound of Zhen Zhi Yun. Like countless noises.

He is still very good at pretending to be deaf and dumb. He actually learned this from Rabbit. When Rabbit sank into his own world, he was exactly the same as Li Qi now.

It can only be said that couples influence each other.

However, when truly valuable information and threatening existence appear, he will still become alert, but now there is obviously no threat, he is just woken up by the tears.

"Sir, let's get out of the way quickly, the noble man is coming!" Lei Fang pulled Li Qi and wanted to leave.

This actually made Li Qi interested. He pushed Lei Fang out with gentle force. The little girl only felt an irresistible force coming and her whole body was pushed away, but she was not injured.

Then, she saw in horror that Li Qi swam in the direction of the 'noble man'!

The 'noble person' in the mouth of the shark is very curious.

If it were normal, then Li Qi would definitely take a long-term approach and wait until he found out the noble person's background before slowly getting in touch with him.

But it was different now. Li Qi didn't feel any threat at all.

You know, Wu Jin's sixth sense is very accurate. No one understands the meaning of "in the dark" better than Wu Jin.

So he went straight on.

Meet the nobleman's mount not far away.

The first thing that caught my eye were several... walruses? Probably a walrus.

The fat body is about twenty or thirty feet long, with two extremely thick teeth, and is full of power. It looks very manic. Although it is tied by the reins, it is swaying restlessly. As it got closer, it let out a grunting roar.

Roaring underwater is a very unwise choice, as it will spit out a lot of gas, so the roars of aquatic creatures are internal vibrations, that is, most of them are grunts, or very high-pitched and sharp sounds like whales.

Then, on top of this huge mount is the 'noble man'.

Li Qi noticed that this was an ordinary shark, but he had reached the eighth level of cultivation, that's all.

The so-called nobles...are they actually just divisions of class or cultivation?

This made Li Qi a little disappointed.

However, I saw the noble man holding the reins and asking gently from the walrus's back: "Who is coming, and why are you standing in front of me?"

This 'noble man' did not do anything rude.

After all, he was not a fool. People from Dongyu came and went, and there must be a reason for a 'guest' who was obviously from the mainland and seemed to have a high level of cultivation to just stop in front of him.

Speaking arrogant words and making enemies without permission are things that only a weak mind would do.

On the other hand, the nervous Mo Min beside him was in tears and was stunned for a moment.

It was... the first time she saw the 'noble man' look so kind.

It turns out that ‘noble people’ can talk well?

Li Qi didn't care about that. He floated up a few meters so that he could look directly at the 'noble man' on the mount, and then said: "Excuse me, are you the manager of this area?"

The shark man said: "Oh? Human race Yayan? Are you a friend of the human race? Indeed, the Bai Zhu family is the manager of all the pearl fields in Dongyu, and I am Bai Zhu's second son, Bai Zhu Zhao moon."

"Bai Zhu...is this surname given to you by humanity?" Li Qi asked immediately after hearing this term.

"No, this surname was created by the great witch Ju Yu for the ancestors of the Bai Zhu family. It has nothing to do with humanity." Bai Zhu Zhaoyue immediately puffed up his chest and said proudly!

Juyu's family?

Li Qi understood immediately.

The Juyu clan was one of the ancient witchcraft sects, which was before the separation of human and witchcraft families.

Juyu means beautiful jade jewelry. In ancient times, before the people and shamans were separated, the Juyu family was responsible for collecting jewelry from various places for decoration and various purposes.

Later, the human and witch families separated, and the Juyu clan followed the lineage of the Human Emperor and became the ceremonial officer of the Human Emperor, no longer a shaman.

White beads are one of the Juyu family's ritual utensils. For example, a royal person must use jade as feathers, with white beads underneath and gold tweezers hanging down. There is a horizontal hairpin on the left and right to tie it to Anguo. All the hairpins are the same and are used to distinguish grades.

So when Li Qi heard the term Bai Zhu, he immediately thought of the Human Emperor's courtesy officer.

However, now it seems that... the inheritance of the Bai Zhu clan seems to be longer than Li Qi imagined.

It was actually the surname given by the Juyu family before the separation of human and witchcraft, and it was said to be a great witch, that is, a third grade?

No, the great witches in ancient times definitely did not have the third level, they should only be around the sixth or seventh level, but they were enough to be proud of. The sixth and seventh levels at that time were also quite high.

"The surname given by the Juyu family? What did your ancestors do? How did you get the surname given by the Juyu family?" Li Qi asked again.

During the questioning, he took the initiative to open up his small world, exuding gentle coercion and at the same time exuding his own unique aura as a witch.

This is setting the record straight.

Feeling this sense of oppression, although Bai Zhu Zhaoyue didn't know if he understood what Li Qi meant, he obviously felt that Li Qi was much stronger than him.

So, he immediately bowed and saluted, which was a show of respect for Li Qi in his own capacity.

Then, he raised his head, raised his chest and raised his head, and said: "In ancient times, the Baizhu family often paid tribute to Baizhu and Qingzhu, and they were especially appreciated by the great shaman. This established a connection and was given this surname!"

Holding your head high and chest high is a sign of pride in your last name.

Gong Baizhu and Qingdajuzhu, that is to say... this Zhimao people were once responsible for producing white pearls and green pearls for the human race at that time.

"It turns out that we are an ethnic group with connections in ancient times. We really met an old friend. I am Li Qi, a disciple of the Witch God Mountain." Li Qi said with a slight salute.

He did not call himself a subordinate, because he was not a subordinate, so he used other modest names.

"It turns out he is a distinguished guest from Wushen Mountain. Why did he block my way?" The man from the Baizhu family also stood up from his mount and saluted Li Qi in return.

"It's not to block the way, but to be curious about the surroundings. To be honest, I dared to come from Wushen Mountain just because I want to travel and gain experience. I am curious about the vicinity of Dongyu. I am currently stopping to observe." Li Qi replied.

Bai Zhu Zhaoyue nodded: "I see, then I won't disturb our distinguished guest. If you are interested, your distinguished guest can come and visit. The Bai Zhu family's mansion is nearby. You will know if you ask around. I have something urgent to do, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience." ”

"It's okay, please go." Li Qi said, taking the initiative to let the other party leave.

Bai Zhu Zhaoyue seemed to be really busy with something, so he immediately turned around and drove the manatee away in a hurry.

Li Qize listened on the spot, looking at his back, thoughtfully.

Ancient times... how long ago was it from now?

Thousands of epochs?

I'm afraid there are more. This Baizhu family... has been passed down, but there has been no progress at all?

Not necessarily, this may just be a separation and more information is needed.

Li Qi had already started deducing in his mind.

Perhaps with a few more clues, he could construct more aspects of the Way of Heavenly Evolution and deduce what he needed.

He hadn't seen all of the East China Sea, but it didn't matter.

If you look at a leopard through a tube, you can see a speck, you can see the leaves at a glance, and you can tell the autumn by a leaf.

If you know a little bit, you can deduce a lot of things. For Li Qi, this is a skill that must be mastered.

So, he quickly came to his senses.

But when he came back to his senses, he saw Lei Fang crawling at his feet, trembling and not daring to move.

Oh, she was probably scared by herself. She just touched him and then was pushed away by him. She was probably afraid of death, right?

Hmm...that's weird.

"You were clearly not afraid of me just now, why are you afraid of me again?" Li Qi grabbed the mermaid girl and asked.

Lei Fang did not expect that she would face this problem, and hesitated for a moment...

Li Qi did have some doubts about this.

When he first met this mermaid girl, she seemed generous and answered questions appropriately, so Li Qicai wanted her to be a tour guide.

But how long is it? Two hours? The awe she showed towards the 'noble man' and the fear towards herself were not what they were before.

So Li Qi immediately became suspicious.

When this shark called himself a "noble" in front of his family, Li Qi didn't feel much at all.

However, when Li Qi knew that the high-level sharks in this area were called 'nobles', he had actually started to pay attention secretly.

He wouldn't call himself that for no reason.

Now this strange behavior is obviously because she has become completely panicked after she met the real "noble" and was treated with respect by the "noble" of the Bai Zhu family.

All kinds of doubts made it impossible for Li Qi not to doubt this mermaid girl.

"First...Sir, I, I'm just afraid of being disrespectful to you..." The shark girl quickly bowed.

The shark didn't have the concept of kneeling, but she still knelt at Li Qi's feet.

"Get up and speak up straight." Li Qi helped her up, then held her shoulders, holding her shoulders like plucking a carrot, forcing her to look at him.

In the water, this is easily done.

Then, Li Qi didn't explain to her, and his pupils suddenly expanded until the whites of his eyes were covered with black pupils.

Demonic energy surged out of his body.

Tears shivered nervously, and fear filled her heart, as if a pair of hands had reached into the flesh of her chest, and then tightly grabbed her heart.

But soon, she no longer felt nervous.

She felt so relaxed, and she couldn't help but feel happy. She had a feeling of ecstasy, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and her breathing couldn't help but slow down.

The gentleman in front of me also became amiable.

"Who asked you to come to me?" Li Qi's voice was full of temptation, as if it could make people open their hearts.

The mermaid girl had almost no resistance. She only felt trust. Driven by instinct, she replied: "Noble... Noble, it was the nobles who asked me to come."

"Oh? Nobles? That noble person just now?" Li Qi asked.

"It's not the one just now, but...it's also from the great Bai Zhu clan." Lei Fang said a little shyly.

She didn't know why, but she just felt a little secretly happy.

"So that's it. Then you run away farther away, to a place at least five hundred miles away from Dongyu, and then slowly follow Dongyu, and then come back to me in three days, okay?" Li Qi asked.

"Okay... I will listen to you." Lei Fang nodded quickly.

"Then it's settled, I'll be waiting for you here in three days." After Li Qi finished speaking, he gently pushed the tear spinner out.

The old horse stamped its hooves and let out a low cry.

"Don't worry, there's no one around. Let's go and see who is behind you."

With that said, Li Qi turned and left.
