Myriad Paths

In the void, on a flying boat that is common in witchcraft, Li Qi looked at the little heavenly master seriously and asked: "Tell me, Demon Prince... what happened? Is there anything abnormal?"

"There is something wrong with his situation. There is a feeling of being... manipulated and not free." As the little Tianshi spoke, he put down the teapot, picked up the teacup, and tasted the fragrance of the tea.

This tea is produced in the Sixteenth Blessed Land. It contains the charm of the Blessed Land. You can feel the charm of the rock after drinking it. Smelling it can also promote enlightenment. It is valuable, but Li Qi is also worthy of serving such a good tea. .

"The feeling of not being free? It shouldn't be the case. Mighty people wouldn't be so incompetent, right? Besides, he is the son of the Demon. How could the Demon..." Li Qi stopped here.

Generally speaking, this is indeed the case. Just like Li Qi, no one will come over to tamper with his memory, modify his personality, or directly take away his body, although this is very simple and easy for a powerful person. Something relaxing.

Powerful people are very open-minded, and they will not stifle geniuses, even if they are the geniuses of the other party's orthodoxy.

The various great traditions cultivate geniuses because they want them to practice the path and take a newer path.

For example, the witch gods will not take action against Liu Junyi, let alone kill him in advance, even if Liu Junyi will become a formidable enemy in the future.

Because every genius has the possibility to embark on a new path, even if it is not a new path of his own orthodoxy.

But that also proves that there is still a road ahead.

Li Qi felt that if there was one person who could prove the existence of the illusory ultimate Tao, then they would be happy to let these first-grade people die directly.

If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

Therefore, geniuses may be arranged, but they must be able to retain their own will and think in their own way from beginning to end.

What's the point if you try to distort the minds of mortals? Of course, a powerful person can easily distort or even destroy the will of a mortal, but this is just like creating a clone, completely turning it into a puppet on strings, and losing the possibility of taking a new path.

Twisting minds, which the mighty ones disdain to do, is completely pointless.

They have a very broad mind. As long as the genius shows that he is "possible to go further," then anything can be done and anything can be tolerated.

Li Qi has this confidence in all other Taoist powerful men.

that is……

This is a demon. It's hard to say what he is thinking.

After thinking again and again, Li Qi asked: "You say that, do you have any evidence?"

"I'm still alive, and this is proof." Little Heavenly Master said.

"..." Li Qi was silent.

This reason is nonsense, but it is also very realistic.

As we all know, unless there is no other way, the demon prince will definitely kill him, and the Buddha's son Shariputra has already been reincarnated.

If Li Qi hadn't made a breakthrough before the battle, he would probably have died.

The little Celestial Master was able to survive once because of the protection of a powerful person from the Taoist sect.

The Demon Prince has never been a soft-hearted person. Those who lose to him will either have the energy to admit defeat in advance, or they will be beaten to death.

"In other words, you took the initiative to challenge the Demon Prince, lost, and didn't even have time to surrender, but he still spared your life?" Li Qi confirmed again.

"Yes, that's it. You also know that for people like us, it's difficult to change our behavior. There must be a reason behind why he can keep me alive." The Little Heavenly Master said calmly.

"Then what happened to your battle? I know that you went to find him directly after the fifth level. What do you think?" Li Qi did not rush to make a judgment, but continued to ask the little Celestial Master about the battle. of details.

The little Heavenly Master did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "In the seventh-level battle, the Demon Prince relied on his willpower to persevere, relied on solipsism, and forcibly resisted death. Only then did he win against me. In fact, his fighting power was not as good as mine. Pulled too far."

Li Qi slightly chinned his head, it was indeed like this at the seventh rank.

"So, after reaching the fifth level, I carefully observed the battle of the Demon Prince, checked his battle reports and videos, and after confirming his combat power, I made a judgment that he is no match for me at this moment." The little heavenly master said so.

"Tell me more details." Li Qi frowned slightly and urged.

He knew very well the weight of Little Heavenly Master's words.

Everyone has reached this level, and it’s not just for bragging right now, so it’s highly likely to be credible.

Li Qi completely believed in the Little Heavenly Master's vision. After the other party knew about the Demon Prince's immortality, he still came to the conclusion that "he is not my opponent." That's very credible.

Then... what kind of response did the Demon Prince make, so that the Little Heavenly Master failed again?

He did not write ink and said straightforwardly: "Dao Yun, there are many, many more Dao Yun in him."

"A lot? No conflict?" Li Qi was surprised.

The more things like Tao Yun, the better.

The essence of Dao Yun is the fragment of the Dao, which is a tiny fragment of an existing Dao. Therefore, Dao Yun is generally produced in the world of death. It itself is the way of heaven and the local Tao in the world of death. .

There are also rare cases where the powerful person is injured or even the fragments dropped after death.

There are also some special ones, such as the Heavenly Demon's Dao Rhyme, which was spread by the Heavenly Demon on his own initiative. He himself broke his own Dao and sent it away.

Because of this characteristic, Tao Yun itself is actually a kind of Taoism, an interpretation of the world, so it can cover or even modify the world.

If many Taoist rhymes are gathered together, there will almost certainly be a Taoist dispute. If the powerful power of the Taoist rhyme conflicts, it will easily kill the practitioner.

The Demon Prince has collected a lot of Daoyun and is not dead yet? Li Qi didn't dare to collect many Taoist rhymes.

"There is no conflict, because they are all demonic Dao Yun. In addition to his original Earth Mother Dao Yun, he also has the Dao Yun of the Four Demons, which may have been specially collected." The Little Heavenly Master said.

Four demons?

In other words, he has collected the Tao Yun of the Heavenly Demon, the Death Demon, the Five Aggregate Demon, and the Troubled Demon.

"It's okay to say that the Heavenly Demon and the Worry Demon are dead, but the Death Demon is already asleep and the Five Aggregate Demon is nowhere to be found. Can these be collected as well?" Li Qi said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something.

Li Shiwei now also has a hint of death demon charm.

Is there such a coincidence? When did the Death Demon Daoyun appear so frequently?

"I don't know the specifics, but the existence of so many demonic Dao Yun has nothing to do with the overall Demonic Dao. I don't believe it. Moreover, there is obviously a death demon Dao Yun, but they didn't choose to kill me. It's also weird." The Little Heavenly Master said: "Recently, there has been cooperation between witches and demons, so after much thought, I decided to come to you and tell you something."

"Why are you looking for me? I shouldn't be anything special, right?" Li Qi didn't know why he found him.

"My master, the real Heavenly Master, told me that as long as I say these words to you, the Witch God can hear me. Do you think the Witch God hears it?" the little Heavenly Master said.

Li Qi felt that the teacup in his hand was no longer fragrant.

However, he could only shake his head: "You must have heard it, I am the focus of attention now."

"Then congratulate Brother Li in advance, I guess you will be out of the sea of ​​misery soon." Little Heavenly Master said with a smile.

"Why did you say this?" Li Qi was puzzled.

"The Almighty One is watching personally, so how come you are allowed to do nothing here? As I said, no matter how many things you do, it doesn't matter. It's not so much about letting you be slaughtered as it is about letting you experience more. "Things." The Little Heavenly Master said: "Ten thousand or twenty thousand fifth-grade soldiers are of no consequence at all. On a large-scale battlefield, what you do is meaningless."

"Perhaps, but great things are composed of small things one after another, and they can only add to it." Li Qi was noncommittal.

"So, for the Witch God, everything you do on the battlefield at this moment is actually just the process of shaping you. That's how it is for people like us. We have to get used to it. Freedom is a luxury for us. "The little Heavenly Master said with a smile.

"Are you the same? Doesn't Taoism always advocate freedom and freedom, and will it interfere with your life?" Li Qi was curious.

"Of course, after all... this is for my own good. Interference is necessary before I can truly become independent." The Little Heavenly Master sighed, obviously he was quite dissatisfied with this.

"Independence? You mean, reality?" Li Qi said again.

"Reality? What do you mean?" The Little Heavenly Master had never heard of this term, so he asked.

"This is a term I created myself. I realized it from cause and effect and time and space." Li Qi said and began to explain the meaning of reality.

After listening to Li Qi's explanation, the Little Heavenly Master was stunned for a while.

His expression was quite exciting, and after a while he said: "So that's it, it's really like this, reality, reality, this word is a good word, indeed, only those who truly have reality are qualified to pursue freedom... But , how do you know that backtracking exists?”

"Don't you know?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

"Of course I don't know. No one told me about this kind of thing... But if you can tell it, Brother Li, it must be true." The Little Heavenly Master shook his head: "Originally, I wanted to tell you something. Not quite, but I was restrained by you, Brother Li.”

"This information is very important. The purpose of exchange is to communicate. That's all, let's drink tea." Li Qi sighed and drank tea.

But after that, neither of them spoke anymore.

Li Qi began to think about the Demon Prince Daoyun.

Two rays of the Death Demon Daoyun appeared almost at the same time, and the Daoyun of the other three demons also appeared on the Demon Prince... This is probably not a coincidence.

The little Celestial Master also started to have a sad look on his face, and his expression was uncertain from the previous ease and elegance.

Obviously, the existence of retrospect also made his mind unstable, and he began to think wildly.

On the other hand, the little girl next to Qin Lan couldn't understand what these two people were talking about. Reality and the four demons were all beyond her scope of knowledge, so she just took the time to drink tea and drink this Yanyun tea. After drinking it, my stomach was full.

This kind of good thing only happens once in a few lifetimes, why don't you hurry up and drink it?

This little Heavenly Master is so kind, so she must take advantage of the opportunity to taste the taste of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Normally, she doesn't have the chance!

It didn't take long for the little Heavenly Master to leave. He came here actually to deliver a message to the Witch God in the name of the Heavenly Master. Talking to Li Qi was secondary.

After all, under normal circumstances, Taoism and witchcraft are not connected, and the two sides do not have much intersection.

Li Qi sighed and said to Qin Lan: "I'll pilot the flying boat. I've been delayed for a while. I'm faster. You'd better digest the tea first."

Qin Lan lowered her head in embarrassment, but her stomach was indeed a little bloated, and there were some signs of overflowing from her inner world.

Li Qi didn't care about this, but got into the driving seat of the flying boat.

But at this time, the scenery in front of him quickly receded, and the next moment, he found himself sitting in the flying boat just before it set off.

Alas, it started again.

Li Qi, who had long been numb, did exactly the same thing according to his previous memory, and everything seemed to happen for the first time.

He didn't know why he wanted to imitate the previous practice, should it be considered... a habit?

He seemed to feel that this way he had a better sense of control, could predict other people's actions in advance, and could ensure that the situation would not deviate too much.

Anyway, let's do it.

The flying boat continued to move forward.

Met the little Taoist priest.

Drink tea.

Then, Qin Lan drank tea until the inner world overflowed, and Li Qi took over the driving.

Driving, everything returned to the beginning.

As always, as always.

In such a cycle, Li Qi sometimes thinks about a question.

Zhu Fengdan Zhu teacher, what is his view on this kind of reincarnation?

Perhaps, in this case, you can ask the teacher.

When the overtime is over and I have time, I will ask.

Because Li Qi himself is really confused.

In the past, he had always thought that there would always be a crossroads in life to make choices. As long as his thoughts were not controlled, it didn't matter how the crossroads came about.

Whether it was a natural crossroads, a man-made crossroads, or some other kind of monsters and demons, the road had to be taken anyway. As long as it was the road he took, he made his own choices, and then he took the consequences himself, and there was nothing to complain about.

It was precisely because of this view that Li Qi could persist in the constant manipulation. He firmly believed that even if the previous choices were artificially fixed, it was always himself who made the choice.

It was like a game. There were countless choices in the game that could lead to different endings, but in fact the entire game was made by others. Every ending, every sentence, every punctuation mark, every code, and every model were written and made by others.

So, after you finish playing this game, you can say that this game was actually played by the maker. Haven't you played it yourself?

No.

No matter who made the game, the person playing the game is always you.

Li Qi firmly believed that he was the one who made the choice, not the NPC being manipulated. The player and the game maker exist in the same dimension.

Therefore, he has been able to hold on until now. (End of this chapter)
