Myriad Paths

After that, Li Qi began to carry out his daily life smoothly.

He stabilized his cultivation and gradually improved. He went to study at a fixed time every day, then went home to take care of his children, lived a normal daily life with Tutu, and occasionally inquired about Lao Ma's situation outside the territory.

Smooth days, quiet life, happy life.

Such daily life has passed for fifteen years.

Fifteen years later, Li Shiwei was seventeen years old.

The seventeen-year-old girl decided to leave home.

In fact, it's not that far away. It was originally Li Qi's property, and Li Qi cooperated with Luofu Mountain and the Lord of Lingxiao to develop the world group.

Yes, now it has changed from worlds to world groups.

Lord Lingxiao's hands and feet were quite agile. After Shen Shuibi's formation was completed, she used it to expand several world groups, totaling more than a million worlds.

Among them, there is one fifth-grade world, more than thirty sixth-grade worlds, and even more than a thousand seventh-grade worlds. The remaining eighth-grade, ninth-grade, and even non-grade worlds are countless, and they don’t even bother to count them when calculating the accounts. Only the people specifically responsible for these worlds know exactly how much there is.

Even if any ninth-level world has a population of hundreds of millions, many worlds will be omitted from the statistics. After all... to the heavens, a ninth-level world is too small.

Therefore, it can even show how terrible people in the world are.

The population outside the territory is ridiculously large, but the total population of the world is at most ten trillion. With such a huge population gap, the number of geniuses produced in the world is evenly matched with the number of all geniuses outside the territory. It can be seen that the number of people born in the world is equal to that of all geniuses outside the territory. His qualifications are so outrageous.

As for Li Shiwei, even if she is born in the world, she can be considered to have a high level of talent, not as good as her father, but after all, she is the child of the fifth and sixth grades. At the age of seventeen, she is already at the peak of the eighth grade. , and the kind with peak combat ability.

Her character is not stable, so she did not choose her father's witchcraft. Instead, she learned the direct method of Luofu Mountain from Yang Ning. She is a little Taoist with a strong sense of self.

She has reached the peak of the eighth level and has no progress in her skills. What she needs now is to see through the obstacles, find her own path, and then achieve immortality.

And this is very difficult to achieve when teaching at home.

So, Li Qi agreed to the little girl's request and prepared to let the naughty child out and follow the next group of Luofu Mountain teams to the world group that was being developed.

By the way, you can also go see Lao Ma.

Lao Ma is also there now, but Lao Ma doesn't know what happened and still hasn't achieved immortality. However, Long Ju still has hundreds of years to live, so he's not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if he lets Li Shiwei go now. question.

"Father, mother, I'll leave first!" The little girl walked out of the cave and waved to her still young father and mother behind her.

Li Qi couldn't help but feel the tears of an old father when he saw the tall and graceful girl smiling happily and waving to him.

Seventeen-year-old Li Shiwei has a slender figure and a strong body. She is wearing a beautiful and clean women's gown with jade hanging from her waist. She has a heroic appearance and pretends to be carrying a long sword.

Although she doesn't know how to use a sword, it's purely for looks.

However, it does look good.

She completely inherited her mother's beauty and looked more heroic. Different from Shen Shuibi's coolness, she was more enthusiastic and lively, so she had a completely different temperament under the similar appearance, just like the kind of curious woman who was new to the world. Like a hero.

Seeing his daughter running outside happily without even looking back, not caring about the reluctant eyes of her parents behind her, Li Qi still couldn't hold back and shouted: "Shitou, you are smarter than her, remember to pay attention." one time!"

But he saw the Shanxuan jade worn on Li Shiwei's waist swaying, vibrating and saying: "Respect the decree of the king!"

Yes, the mountain jade that broke out of the stone simply named himself Stone. It had been called that for thousands of years, and he was used to it.

After that, Shen Shuibi polished him into a jade pendant.

This kind of carving can allow him to 'make a tool', which is called making a jade tool. After this treatment, the jade itself can bloom with greater brilliance and become easier to practice.

Li Shiwei liked it very much, and Shitou didn't have any objections, so Shitou became her childhood playmate and has been brought to this day by her.

Of course, Shitou, as a mountain jade spirit, has a very good brain and seems to be smarter than Li Shiwei.

However, Li Shiwei quickly quickened her pace.

I’ve wanted to leave home for a long time!

After more than ten years, I can finally see the real world.

Completely different from the old father's reluctant thoughts, the young girl ran out of the house happily and faced her new life.

Live an independent life of your own.

yeah!

The little girl seemed to be learning to fly for the first time, and quickly escaped from the sight of her parents.

Only over there, Li Qi looked at the place with eyes wide open and was unwilling to return to the cave for a long time.

Shen Shuibi walked up to him and said with a smile, "Having given birth to a child has turned her into a demon?"

"Alas, only now do I know why the great witch Yunfang planted the devil's thoughts deep in his heart to maintain the 'immortality' of that senior brother." Li Qi sighed and said.

In the past, he had talked with the great wizard Yunfang who had helped him a lot. (See Chapter 225 for details)

During that conversation, Li Qi knew that Yun Fang Da Wu could easily get rid of those evil thoughts. These evil thoughts did not pose any threat to him at all. They just existed all the time and would hinder his cultivation from continuing to improve.

However, when Li Qi asked this question, Yun Fang Da Wu's answer was: "If you can easily let go, how can it become a demon in your heart?"

Yes, it is easy to get rid of the materialized evil thoughts, but how can you get rid of the obsession in your heart?

This is the real evil thought.

If Li Shiwei was replaced by that senior brother, and Li Qi was replaced by Yun Fang Da Wu, Li Qi felt that he would probably make the same decision, right?

"Alas, I still can't see clearly and see through it." Li Qi sighed: "On the road of Tao, there is only myself. This is easy to say, but who can really do it?"

The pursuer of Tao needs to abandon those "low-level pleasures". What are low-level pleasures?

In fact, it is everything except the road of Tao.

This is also a trade-off.

Immortals have theoretically infinite life. This endless life must have something to do, otherwise life will be meaningless. You have to do something when you are alive. If you don't do anything, you will give up thinking and become a stone floating in the universe. What is the difference between you and a dead person?

Therefore, immortals will definitely do things. They do a lot of things, such as enjoying fun, making achievements, creating works of art, improving their skills, and creating a country they like.

However, these things are not long-lasting.

Yes, although for mortals, this kind of thing takes several lifetimes or even more than ten lifetimes, and more than ten generations of continuous relay struggle, which often lasts for 2,500 years or a hundred generations of struggle.

However, all of this seems too short in front of "immortality".

A great cause that lasts for 2,500 years, pushing the world you live in away from the world group? Is it very long?

A hundred generations, so what?

In front of endless life, these things are just a flick of the finger.

All great deeds, all pleasures, all sufferings, will eventually turn into smoke and dust and disappear in the torrent of time under the time span of "infinity".

Infinite time means that you can do infinite things, and there is even a term called "Poincare regression".

It means that after a long time in a closed system, everything will inevitably return to a position infinitely close to its initial position. Although the length of this time is far beyond imagination, it will inevitably come true. Such a cycle is called a Poincare regression.

Although, in fact, we cannot be sure whether the state of any physical system can really return, but we can use such a cycle as an example, after all, this is the largest cycle in the conventional sense.

This cycle is about 10 with a billion zeros after it.

Very long, right? Almost infinite for ordinary people, right?

However, in the face of infinity, a Poincare regression is pitifully small.

Infinity means that there are infinite Poincare regressions.

Infinite regressions.

You will endure infinite anger, infinite loneliness, infinite fear, infinite happiness, and everything, everything will be repeated infinitely.

All your thoughts and possibilities will become fixed and infinite under the quantifier of forever.

There is no end, eternal and endless.

In the end, everything in the world will be known to you, the position of every atom, the distribution of every beam of light, and the time of every quantum fluctuation.

And the immortals, after knowing all this, will still cycle infinitely and repeat all this constantly.

This is forever, this is ‘infinity’.

This is fundamentally different from ‘living long’.

Forever, this word is too big. The immortals’ longevity is something that even many immortals themselves cannot bear.

In this world, there is no specific thing that can carry ‘infinite’ life. The life of the immortals will become a curse in the infinite extension.

Don’t use the word ‘infinite’ lightly, because ‘infinite’ is greater than you can imagine.

And how to give a meaning to this curse-like ‘infinite life’ and find a goal that can be placed on this infinite time?

There is only one thing that can do it.

In this world, there is only one thing that can carry endless life.

That is ‘Tao’ itself.

Everything in the world is born from the Tao.

The end of everything, the source of everything, is the Tao.

The end of the Tao is the end of everything. Only this supreme goal can bear the curse brought by this infinite life.

Li Qi now has such consciousness, but he is only more than a hundred years old, so it is difficult for him to have such a sense of reality.

Let alone Li Qi, let’s talk about Yun Fang, the great witch, didn’t he come out?

Therefore, in the current Tao, Li Qi can only sigh in front of his daughter.

Seventeen-year-old girl, so worried...

However, Rabbit is very open-minded. She put her arm around Li Qi and said with a smile: "If you can really do it, what is the point of Taoism? Won’t you become a lone walker?"

Li Qi smiled and waved those unrealistic things from his mind.

One hundred million years is scary, what is the Poincare return?

"Yes, if you can really do it, what else do you need Dao Tong to do? Let's go home." Li Qi smiled and walked back to the cave.

You don’t have to think about that, at least for now, you are with me on the road.

——————————

However, unlike the melancholy and thoughts of her old father and mother, Li Shiwei is really trapped in the waves, hungry tigers in the mountains, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.

She ran all the way until she had left the Xuanjing Mountain Cave a full thousand miles away before she stopped.

"Huh! We finally ran out of the mountain range. We should be invisible from here, right?" Li Shiwei let out a long breath and looked at the surroundings.

It must be invisible, right?

However, the jade pendant around his waist vibrated and buzzed: "Boss, I need to remind you that with the method of viewing mountains and rivers in the palm of a god, they can see you even if you run ten thousand miles away."

"Then what should I do! Then I'm no different than at home!" Li Shiwei was shocked.

Shitou was helpless and continued to make a clear voice: "Wake up, boss, if they can't even let you go, then you have no chance to go outside the territory. Do you think Zhu Ren and Zhenjun are fools? The two of them have already Words and deeds should be consistent. If they say they let you go, they will naturally let you go and keep an eye on what you do. Do you think they don’t have the courage to do so? "

"Oh, that's right. If they don't want me to go, then I won't be able to go out... Hey, you're smart, but I'm still worried." Li Shiwei patted the jade pendant.

Shitou said with a sigh: "If you go outside the territory like this, I doubt whether you can come back. People outside the territory are a bit less qualified and the environment is a bit worse. They are not stupid."

Although as a piece of jade, he didn't breathe, he still felt like he was panting, maybe because he felt that otherwise he wouldn't be able to express his emotions enough.

"It's okay, aren't we still here with you?" Li Shiwei was laughing, not worried at all.

Shitou reminded helplessly: "Me? I am a rare jade in the world. Although I am still a raw jade, and I am still waiting to discover the potential within it, if I are used to forge a magic weapon, I can be used as the base of a sixth-grade magic weapon. , so when I go outside the territory, if I speak up if I have something to do, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come back, boss.”

"Why, does anyone still dare to kill people and steal goods?" Li Shiwei pulled out her sword: "It just so happens that I trained this skill just for that time!"

Shitou didn't speak, he just looked at the seventeen-year-old girl in front of him silently.

Bad food.

The boss usually seems quite smart. Did he not bring his brains with him when he went out today? Or what happened?
