Myriad Paths

Li Qi finally broke away from the shackles of the demonic energy.

Externally separated from all appearances, it is formless. But it can be separated from form, and its nature is pure. It has no form as its body and is uncontaminated in all situations. It is called no thought. Leave the state of thinking about oneself, and do not think about the Dharma. Don't think about anything, and get rid of all thoughts. Once the thought ceases, there is no place for rebirth.

Since there is no other place to be born, it is naturally difficult to get entangled with the five aggregates.

As a result, Li Qi got rid of the entanglement of the five aggregates and truly saw where he had come.

Hell.

The red sky looked like blood, with overflowing clouds piling up overhead. The sky was dark, but there was still a red light.

Floods and droughts, locusts, wind and hail, thunder and fire, landslides, water overflows, spring exhaustion, snow and frost appear from time to time. It is obviously extremely hot all around, but it is full of other extreme weather, heat waves and cold waves appear alternately, seasons are reversed, and blood rain , acid rain, and meteorites come one after another.

All open water has either evaporated or has turned into coagulated blood. There are no fish in it, only living corpses floating on it like dead fish. The air exudes a stench like a slaughterhouse.

There are also evil ghosts and Rakshasas, arranged in groups, with shackles and instruments of torture, and countless tortured corpses. Their rotten steam and other strange things combine to form an extremely unpleasant and terrifying poisonous gas.

No, that's not a corpse! These people are still alive, and they are suffering while alive!

The suffocating cloud of death floated in the air, and the iron knives formed a forest, constantly chopping the bodies that were not yet dead. After chopping into pieces, strong winds blew by, and their bodies were restored again.

But after recovering, the iron knife cut them off again and chopped them into minced meat.

Infinitely repeated torture, endless torture.

Li Qi looked around. Everything here was in a trance, like it was trapped in a whirlpool.

Screaming winds and countless extreme weather conditions were all rushing through it, mixed with the cries and echoes of people being tortured in the distance.

There is boundless despair shrouding this place... But if you look carefully, every corpse, every rotten piece of flesh, and every disabled human figure that is still barely alive are all piled up here in an orderly manner, but you don't know when. Blow away by severe extreme weather.

Infinite fire was born on the earth, and the oil pans were burned. Countless cauldrons were seen, with fires burning under them, and people were being cooked in the woks. The sound of pain was sour, and the bodies of sinners were thrown into them by evil ghosts and Rakshasas, like living fish. There is nowhere to hide in the boiling pot.

The boiling oil in the oil pan was constantly struggling and rolling by the body like a fried fish, and fell to the ground, so the ground was covered with a foul-smelling grease sheen.

Fat dripped from the oil pan, and the fried bodies were swollen with vicious vesicles that swelled like tumors. The air was filled with the smell of burnt hair and the stench of rotting flesh.

Outside the oil pan, on other flat surfaces, countless physically disabled walking zombies were wandering here, these pieces of flesh that had been tortured for an unknown length of time.

Li Qi could only call them lumps of meat, because apart from the fact that their bodies were still alive, it was difficult to say that they were still 'alive'.

Their minds have been destroyed, and even their memories may have been torn apart in this endless torture. They have no emotions at all. They will not laugh, cry, or care about anything. They are in hell. Amidst the endless torture, their vitality and hope have long been drained away.

Crushed souls and broken hopes, this is what this underworld presents.

This is the underworld, the place where sinners are tortured, and the deepest level of reincarnation.

Here, I am afraid that I have already separated from the world, right?

Li Qi suddenly understood.

She figured out how the real dragon named Ao Guangxiao and the 'Demon Lord' used to drag them out of the world and outside the territory.

Just use the springboard in front of you.

Li Qi has already experienced it with his physical body. That kind of sudden jump, appearing or disappearing silently from a certain level, should be the characteristics of the ghost gate.

After all, the 'Ghost Gate' is the junction between the underworld and the Yang world, which is an extremely terrifying existence for ordinary people.

This demon king only needs to use the ghost gate to pull the entire treasure ship to the underworld, and then use the underworld as a springboard to jump out of the territory.

In this way, it is indeed possible to circumvent the ironclad rules of prohibition in the world.

There's just one problem.

Jumping to the underworld through the ghost gate should not be that simple. There must be other people behind the scenes to help.

In other words, as mentioned before, the Ghost Emperor of the Ghost Sect?

Li Qi didn't dare to think about it, so he punched himself to wake him up, and then used his magic to clear his eyes and look at the battlefield that was at least thousands of miles away.

Yes, the battlefield.

Over there, you can clearly see a Dharma image and a real dragon forming a circle, with a small figure in the center.

The Dharma's appearance is that of a demon, with flames burning all around, just like a demon burning a palace, with the Seven Treasures Tower faintly scattered!

The demon-headed dharma image has several braids hanging down from its head, an ivory magic crown, a big red pin, a gold skirt, a gold miscellaneous jacket, a cloud shoulder, a sleeveless robe, a ribbon, shoes and socks, and has sixteen hands, each holding a Garbara-like weapon.

There are bowls, bowls, faucet pipes, snare drums, zithers, zithers, pipas, shengs, huqins, castanets, and clappers. They are clapping each other, and there seems to be a sound of debauchery. Gods and ghosts come out randomly, and suddenly demons are revealed, and even Yang The flags are passed, the Buddha is chanted and incense is carried, and the sound of gongs and drums is rumbling, making people dizzy.

Li Qi clearly didn't hear those demonic sounds, but just seeing them gave rise to countless demonic thoughts in his heart.

There was fear, joy, anger, and countless desires swirling in his heart, as if they wanted to devour his Taoist heart.

Fortunately, Li Qi has experienced the experience of the devil and has a calm mind.

I also saw a real dragon next to me, thousands of miles long, with staggered coils and strange shadows around it. Countless dragon scales were like city walls. It was circling and spitting out the water of the Milky Way. It descended with infinite power and turned out the boundless raging fire that was born in the hell soil. It was also extinguished, and only the demonic fire of the demonic figure was still burning.

The real dragon and the demon king actually formed a pattern of water and fire, one cold and one hot, alternately targeting the great power of reason in the middle, as if they wanted to break his cover of heavenly reason.

It seemed that Lidao had taken the initiative to leave the ship and fight against the two men alone, probably to save the ship. However, the entire ship was still shrouded in demonic energy. Except for Li Qi, no one was freed from the demonic energy. When they woke up, everyone looked confused, almost no different from the walking dead in the hell outside.

Li Qi immediately understood the meaning, once again used the law of heaven, and then set up a simple altar to worship the outer world that had just been constructed around him.

The method of worshiping the sky was successful. The moment he did this, Li Qi immediately felt a surge of thought.

This is the communication of ideas achieved by the method of sacrifice, and it is also a common method used by people to communicate with heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts.

Sure enough, communicating with the principles of this small outer world is actually equivalent to communicating with the senior principle, so that you can communicate with the other party.

Just now, when Li Qi used the method of witchcraft to communicate with heaven and form the outer world, he was already relying on the other party's power.

The moment communication was established, Li Qi sent a message: "Senior! How is the situation?"

"The situation is not good. The two are besieging me. I am temporarily unable to spread the news to the outside world. I can't do anything except being trapped. By the way, I just felt someone borrowing my power. Is it you?" Dao Daneng replied to Li Qi.

Seeing that he could indeed contact the other party by using the method of offering sacrifices to heaven to communicate with the heaven, Li Qi raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to contact this powerful person means that you can help.

Therefore, Li Qi immediately said: "Thank you for your help, senior. Now that I have woken up from the demonic energy and have the ability to move, what is the situation now? Can you tell me, junior, so that I may be able to help senior break the situation."

"You help me break the situation? Boy, you are only in the seventh level. I think you have a magic weapon that can travel between yin and yang. Just run away. You can't help me." The great master of reason said.

Li Qi shook his head and replied: "Senior, in front of twice as many enemies, he was still able to help me wake up under pressure, how could I escape alone? Besides, there are still my friends on the treasure ship, and the others are traveling with me. , I don’t want to leave it alone and let them die and live alone.”

"You can't help me. A good heart can't do anything. Let's go. I will open a gap for you. It's the most valuable thing if you leave. After leaving, with your status, I think you can definitely find a reason." Other people in Dao, inform Li Dao of what happened here. From now on, someone will come to avenge me and this treasure ship. This is the only thing you can do. Don’t stay and die. If what happens here cannot be spread, then I'm afraid it will become an unsolved case," the fourth-level master of Li Dao said to Li Qi.

As he said that, on the other side of the battlefield, his stubborn attitude began to reverse, as if he wanted to take action under pressure and open a way for Li Qi to go out and report the news.

However, Li Qi felt a little strange at this moment.

It was obviously the Dragon Slaying Team that was responsible for this matter, so why did this great master of reason recognize it so much? Would you rather die than let them inspect the treasure ship?

At this time, as long as you give in a little and let the Demon Lord and the True Dragon check it, you won't die, right?

Or... Li Qi's heart sank and he thought of another possibility.

It is very possible that the dragon-slaying team was invited by Li Dao himself, so Li Dao decisively took the responsibility. The real dragon should also know this, so he did not go to the dragon-slaying team, but went directly to It makes sense.

So... by what means did the devil get involved?

Regardless, we still have to continue communicating and get more information, and we can't just leave. Besides, the other party obviously underestimates himself when he says he can't help.

Li Qi's thoughts were a long story, but they were actually completed in an instant, so he immediately stopped the great master of reason and said: "Senior, don't be anxious, help me escape now, not only will you completely lose your life, but I'm afraid I can’t take away the real dragon’s information.”

"Information about the true dragon? Hmm...? Did you guess it?" The great master of reason pondered for a moment and immediately understood the implication of Li Qi's words.

Obviously, the seventh-grade boy in front of him knew the information about the real dragon on the ship.

One of Li Dao’s little secrets.

Dissect a real dragon and study the secrets of its bloodline.

You know, the truth... I never care much about things like 'good and evil'.

"As for the real dragon, I don't care about this matter. However, now the devil has also intervened. I am afraid it is for other reasons. After all, the status on this ship is too high. Regarding this, this junior has some clues." Li Qi hurriedly returned at this time. added.

He had to explain it clearly quickly, because Li Qi had already guessed the purpose of this fifth-level scientific research ship.

There was Mr. Wu Shenshan on the ship, and there was also a genuine Buddhist disciple. Li Qi had not had much contact with the others for the time being, but he thought their status was not too low, otherwise he would not be qualified to board this fifth-grade treasure ship.

Therefore, the purpose of this ship is actually to use the identities of these people, hoping to deter the real dragon or other forces, so that they will not dare to take action due to the pressure of many forces.

That makes sense...it's a really good calculation.

However, I don’t know why, but the real dragon and the devil don’t seem to be afraid.

No, it's not that they are not afraid, but they have other confidence. Li Qi feels that they must have other support before they dare to do this.

"You? Oh, I understand. I thought the Buddhist aura that came on the ship was brought by that Buddhist disciple, but it turns out it was brought by you. That's why there were additional fourth-level demons coming... Well, Then this time you really brought it upon yourself, but you said you have a clue... is there a way to break the situation?" The fourth-level Li Dao smiled, his tone a little helpless.

He didn't blame Li Qi for attracting the devil, or use Li Qi to vent anything.

After all, he is also a fourth-grade existence, and he also knows that everything has consequences.

There will be such a calamity. In essence, Li Dao wants to use these powerful disciples to protect himself, so it is natural to attract other enemies.

Therefore, he neither blames Li Qi nor blames himself. Everything is probabilistic, and if there are benefits, there are risks. People who follow the principles have always been very rational, even to the point of being ruthless.

The Yangshou Pagoda in the Hell Realm and the Demonic Beast Breeding Farm in the Human Realm are all involved. As craftsmen, they are the favorite tools of all the great orthodoxy.

"This junior doesn't have any means to break the situation, but he still has some ideas." Li Qi didn't know what the other party was thinking. He only knew that he had to find a way to escape now.

His sixth sense of witchcraft told him that if he really allowed this fourth-level Li Dao to open a way for him, the result would probably be very bad.

Someone is watching him, someone is targeting him.

These were the words that the sixth sense kept screaming in his ears.

Li Qi always respected his sixth sense, so he chose to stay and face it.

"It's just that in order to be more sure, I would like to ask the seniors to tell the juniors about the situation at this moment. I'm afraid the seniors don't know what I am capable of. My understanding of magic is definitely higher than that of the seniors." Li Qi said pretending to be confident.

At this time, acting more confident can gain trust.

He is not worried about time, because the battle between the fourth-level experts is just a matter of time and effort. It can be as simple as ten days and a half, and the few minutes of talking are nothing.

"Really? Since you have made a decision, let's do it. What do you want to know?" said the fourth grade of Li Dao.
