Myriad Paths

Li Qi knew that in Baiyue, there was a way to identify whether someone was a real lady.

That is to let this noble lady strip naked in front of a group of maids and women.

Then, if this lady is accustomed to it and has no sense of shame, then she is.

You think that everyone is human and would feel shy exposing their bodies, but in fact, they don’t treat servants as human beings. Would you be shy in front of something?

For a maid, serving and dressing her master is a matter of knowledge. The master's arms and legs cannot move according to the servant's wishes. The slave is required to accommodate the master. If the master fiddles with his hands and feet casually, or even drinks tea, the maid must let him do it. The master didn't feel awkward at all when dressing, and he didn't even feel that he was being dressed.

This is also a craft and even requires assessment.

For the master, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. The people around him are not people, just a few humanoid tools.

However, Li Qi was still surprised.

Since leaving Baiyue, whether it is the witch path, the human path, or even many worlds outside the territory, as long as it is a world beyond the seventh level, this situation rarely occurs. Only a few special paths will occur. This situation of treating humans as animals.

Even if they are humane, they will only regard the "unethical world" as a resource and will not enslave their minds.

Some are motivated by ethics, while others are motivated by pure profit.

Because this kind of thing can only happen in uncivilized worlds that suppress the creativity of the people at the bottom and ignore basic group rules. As long as they can reach the seventh level, these worlds can understand one thing, that is, the high level Wise 'people', their thinking is the greatest wealth.

To leave such wealth unused, instead to suppress them and use them as meaningless items would be a huge waste and would lead to a serious decline in the progress of civilization.

Even the first-class world and even the world need to cultivate this kind of advanced wisdom. With the help of this wisdom, it is possible to open up more roads.

Whenever a great and farsighted person in a civilization achieves eternal life, they will not choose this wasteful approach unless the path just likes it.

Therefore, after these experiences, coupled with the fact that Li Qi had not been in contact with the low-level world for a long time, Li Qi almost forgot that this kind of thing still existed in the uncivilized world.

Even... Yao Ji in front of her actually still retains such an attitude.

I really don’t know what Wushenshan was thinking, did he actually let himself go on the same journey with such a person? Just because the other party is very strong at level six?

The mentality of such a person, even if he embarks on the path, will probably deviate from the peaceful state of mind of the witchcraft, right?

No wonder Zhu Fengdan would take action. If Li Qi hadn't been timid, he would have taken action too.

This made Li Qi feel disgusted, so he shook his head: "You can handle it yourself, I won't care about these things for you."

After saying that, Li Qi stopped paying attention to the other party and continued to look at him.

Yao Ji blinked her eyes.

Li Qi originally thought she would be angry or something, but he obviously underestimated Yao Ji.

The other party didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he found a lake, took off his clothes and left.

Li Qi didn't bother to care, it didn't matter, she liked it as much as she wanted, as long as it didn't involve tasks, Li Qi didn't want to pay attention to it.

Through the art of looking at Qi, Li Qi quickly realized that it was in the south... It should be the south, right? Anyway, judging from the position of the sun, it is in the south. As for whether the sun is in the south or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the direction is defined by people.

In the south, there is a very, very typical 'popularity', that is to say, there is a city in that place.

Then, Li Qi stopped looking around and was ready to wait for Yao Ji to finish washing herself, and then set off together.

But in this process, it was impossible for him to do anything to help Yao Ji.

When Li Qi was thinking this, he discovered that there was a water god around, with the head of a human and the body of a snake, with four arms controlling water, and he was washing clothes.

He was a little confused, was this the local water god? Yao Ji ordered the Water God to do odd jobs for her?

It was indeed something she could do.

However, when Li Qiqi knew that the rhyme swept across the body of the water god, he was shocked to find that the water god had no sanity and was not the local water god.

This is a god who appears temporarily in heaven and earth, and he has spirit but no wisdom.

A god without intelligence is an unawakened spirit of nature. How can such a thing act subjectively, or even wash clothes? But there is obviously no method of commanding the gods around.

Moreover, you must know that this is a first-class world, and the landscape gods here are very powerful. Even Li Qi has no ability to give orders at will. He has to make preparations and perform rituals.

Then, the only possibility is Yao Ji.

"This is...the original god?" This is the only possibility Li Qi could think of.

No wonder Yao Ji can develop this character.

Maybe the original gods are the ‘heaven’ of this universe? As the earliest beings born in the universe, incarnations of the energy of chaos, they might even be higher than that. They are the 'Tao' that other beings pursue. At the beginning of civilization, including all civilizations in the world, they worshiped But it's all them.

Therefore, there is no need for the original gods to do anything, they only need to 'give orders', and then other lower-level gods will be forced to obey their orders, even if they are only spiritual and ignorant, they have to get up and work.

Is this also a ‘Tao’? It is the preference of heaven and earth for the original gods. Even the first-class world cannot be exempted from vulgarity when no one interferes.

Recalling that just now Yao Ji waved her hand gently, and the world's barrier was opened. It is obviously a manifestation of this power, right?

All I can say is that fortunately, the relationship between Wu Dao and Shinto is very good. There are three branches of people, gods, earth, humans and ghosts. There is also a branch that deals with gods, and the relationship with the star officials and the first gods is very good.

The two major systems of Shinto have a very good relationship with Wu Dao, so Li Qi can't say anything.

In fact, he didn't like the gods very much. The earth still had to bear the livelihood of the mountains and rivers, but the gods were aloof and commanded.

However, as a Taoist, he knows that respect for other Taoist traditions is very important, so he doesn't say much about it.

This is the same as abstract painting and concrete painting. Some people just can't appreciate abstract painting and think it is garbage. However, it is undeniable that abstract painting occupies an important place in the history of art, and many people do like it.

Just because you don't like it, you can't think it's garbage.

Blind people cannot appreciate any painting, but this does not mean that all paintings are bad, it is just that everyone understands it differently.

However, every time I think of the leader of the first gods, the aloof Lord of the Shinto Heaven...

"Haotian...are you really 'Heaven'?" Li Qi looked up at the sky and couldn't help but murmured.

Immediately, he shuddered.

Just by shouting this name, he felt a wave of ominousness, so he quickly shut up.

Soon, about a quarter of an hour later, this ominous feeling dissipated from Li Qi's body.

Over there, Yao Ji has also finished washing.

Her clothes were placed here for the water god to clean, and she walked out of the water calmly.

Li Qi immediately put away his senses and quickly retreated ninety miles.

Don't look at anything inappropriate. They don't treat me as a human being and don't care at all. As a person with a wife, I can't care less.

After a while, Li Qicai returned to the place where Yao Ji had already put on her clothes.

And the whole time, she wore a veil.

This made Li Qi very confused.

What's the comparison? I don't care about my body, but my face is covered tightly. Is it a serious illness?

When he was confused, he also habitually scanned his surroundings to see if there was anything wrong, and remained vigilant.

However, while scanning, he suddenly discovered...

The aura of the surrounding mountains and rivers has been sucked dry.

The spiritual energy of this mountain has been exhausted. I am afraid that monsters or landscape gods will no longer be born here in the future.

what happened?

Is it caused by Yao Ji’s ‘bathing’?

Li Qi immediately realized that her bath was not about washing with water, but about absorbing all the spiritual energy from a mountain, washing her body and mind with the spiritual energy, and directly draining the place dry.

This landscape has actually been reduced to a mortal place. If you want to restore the beautiful scenery, it will take at least forty or fifty years to cultivate it.

During this period, the monsters in this mountain cannot practice cultivation unless they move.

Moreover, the ground veins are dry, and whatever you plant will die. The vegetation on this mountain looks lush and green, but in fact it is almost dead. It cannot absorb the earth's energy. When the nutrients stored in the branches, leaves and trunks are exhausted, they will only wither and die.

Naturally, all the animals have to move, otherwise they will starve to death. It can be said that the surrounding fifty miles is already a dead land.

"What's wrong? Aren't you leaving yet? I think you have found a place." Yao Ji still looked the same, not feeling anything wrong at all.

Li Qi looked at the other party.

Sure enough... I still can't stand the gods.

"Let's set off immediately and wait for me to hold a ceremony." Li Qi said.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and set up an altar. Using his own anger as a guide, he concentrated part of the earth energy of his own small world into it, and then offered sacrifices to this landscape.

These vitality and earth energy will slowly infiltrate this dead land. Although some plants will inevitably die, they should be able to recover in more than a year.

It's like wiping the butt of this young lady.

Li Qi originally thought that Yao Ji would comment on his behavior, but when he turned around, he found that the other party was completely absent-minded and didn't care about what he was doing.

…

In other words, he is worthy of being a god.

Humanity and heaven are not at odds with each other, and now he is better able to understand humanity.

"Let's go." Li Qi said.

Yao Ji didn't answer, just followed.

Li Qi also set up his escape light and flew towards the distance quickly.

Along the way, Li Qi was vaguely aware that there were constant eyes peering at him from all around. The grades were not high, but some of them were close to the seventh grade, and some even reached the average strength of the seventh grade or above, but... it seemed... He has suppressed his cultivation and has not yet been promoted.

Yao Ji looked indifferent and just followed Li Qi, using his Escape Light and Wind Wall to save effort.

But Li Qi was very vigilant and exuded the aura that he belonged to the fifth rank.

Then, all eyes converged.

This made Li Qi slightly chin his head, and he had some concerns in his mind.

Obviously, this is the mortal world.

Moreover, with this attitude, these people obviously know that after ascending to the real world, they may have to mine, so they are not in a hurry to break through, but to accumulate strength, and strive to save two days of mining when they ascend, and at least they will be strong enough to rob. other people.

It really is……

It's a bit utilitarian.

Thinking like this, a city appeared in front of Li Qi and Yao Ji.

Well, Yipin World is indeed a humanoid race.

There were still about 40,000 to 50,000 miles away from the city, but Li Qi could already observe the situation there, so he put away his escaping light early and prepared to blend in quietly.

"Hide your figure and don't attract attention." Li Qi said to Yao Ji.

With that said, Li Qi turned on the mode of blending into nature and prepared to sneak.

But Yao Ji seemed not to hear it and still flew straight into the distance.

"Hey, Yao Ji, hide your figure, don't be too ostentatious, this is a first-class world." Li Qi immediately sent the message.

Who knew that Yao Ji just glanced at Li Qi, still didn't reply, and continued to fly forward.

Li Qi looked at her eyes and read a message from it.

‘I heard you, but why should I listen to you? ’

Yao Ji didn't say it, or she was too lazy to say it, but Li Qi still read this thought.

Fuck you, bitch.

Li Qi really couldn't stand this kind of god's style. He shook his head and said he would love it to death and ignore it.

I've never seen anything so hateful.

Thinking like this, Li Qi no longer insisted on asking the other party to follow him.

I can do it by myself.

With this in mind, Li Qi simply flew towards the city alone, completely acting alone.

It's just... I hope that this separation will not affect the other party's evaluation. After all, theoretically, the two of us are now under the observation of the other party.

Oh, grandma, why did Teacher Zhu leave halfway? I’m so stressed now.

Li Qi just felt tired, and there were a lot more swear words in his inner drama than usual. You know, he is actually a very qualified person.

Regardless of that, Li Qi calmed down and continued working.

As an immortal, patience and perseverance are inevitable things. Even the most impetuous immortal can face unexpected situations calmly. Otherwise, he would have been driven crazy if he lived for such a long time.

Flying all the way, we arrived at the city.

Li Qi unexpectedly discovered that Yao Ji was missing.

Didn't she come to this city? Or did you just fly away?

That's all, if you say you don't care about her, then don't care about her.

Li Qi was quietly outside the city, observing the city.

This city is very tightly defended and is completely like a military fortress. The entire city should be a giant seventh-grade magic weapon, and it is impossible to capture it easily.

It occupies a large area, with a radius of about two thousand miles. For a mortal city, this is already a very, very large scale. It is divided into four directions, each with sixteen doors. The openings are for circulation inside and outside the city. There are flight restrictions set up. Those below the seventh level will never be able to fly here.

Millions of people were coming in and out, it was very lively, and all kinds of magic weapons and spiritual beasts were used as means of transportation.

Li Qi looked at it briefly for a while, then quickly blended into the crowd and walked towards the city gate.
