Myriad Paths

Li Qi and his wife are worried about their daughter's affairs.

Therefore, Li Qi planned to visit his seniors and seek advice from wise elders who had had similar experiences, hoping to find the answer.

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, is preparing to go into seclusion, break through her cultivation first and gain strength, so that she can move more easily in the future.

As for Zhu Fengdan...

Li Qi didn't go looking for him at all, because he knew that Teacher Zhu must be entangled in Fu Dou at this moment.

It can be seen from Fu Dou's behavior that she is not an easy woman to get along with. She probably doesn't have the ability to take care of Li Qi now, so Li Qi simply doesn't bother her.

And on the other side, the world——

A region belonging to the devil's path.

The Demonic Path, as one of the nine places in the world, is located in the south of the world, in the hot sand of the polar region.

However, this place is actually quite deserted. The hiding of the four demons directly resulted in the lack of top strong men in the Demonic Path. In addition, the Demonic Path is not a united faction. Therefore, this area is said to be a Demonic Dao... rather, it is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. There is everything, it is a completely free land, and its level of chaos is even worse than that of the East China Sea.

Almost all Taoist traditions, as well as various stowaways from outside the territory, will choose to settle here.

Maybe this was the devil's intention.

After all, the demonic path actually needs practitioners from other sects to serve as a breeding ground for 'parasitism'.

Demons are parasitic on other paths, taking away wisdom and life, destroying the merits and virtues of the path, so they are called demons.

The foundation of the demonic path is the suffering in the world. The demon of heaven likes to play tricks on the world. The demon of worry feeds on the heart of the Tao. The demon of five aggregates obstructs sight and hearing and blocks people's path. The demon of death wants to push the world into death.

All of this can only be developed based on the existence of other orthodox traditions.

Therefore, there is almost no such thing as "cultivation" in the Demonic Path. Few of the new blood of the Demonic Path are cultivated by themselves, and they all come from "being possessed by the devil" by other Daoists.

For example...Li Shiwei.

In this case, the Demonic Path will naturally hope that the more people come, the better. Whether it is as fresh blood or fresh food, a large number of practitioners are indispensable to the Demonic Path.

All this has also led to today’s southern hot sand

After all, even in a chaotic place like the East China Sea, there is still order, mainly because order can effectively enhance competitiveness and is of great use to Tianyan, so the real dragons do not reject order.

But the magic way is different.

The devil does not reject order, but prefers chaos. Practitioners of the heavenly demon lineage go their own way, while the troubled demon lineage feeds on the troubles of others. The five aggregate demons are good at creating illusions, and the death demon simply kills everything.

None of them is a fuel-efficient lamp, and one of them can make people in an area miserable, which shows what kind of hell this place is.

But even so, many people still flock to it.

Without him, the Demonic Path has almost no admission system. If you want to come to the ‘world’ and ascend to the ‘Immortal Realm’, then the Demonic Path is your easiest choice.

To be honest, the review he endured was harsh.

Wu Dao simply does not accept any visitors. To be precise, it does not accept any ‘stowaways’. You can only come by your own ability.

This stowaway does not mean sneaking in, but means that you must be strong enough to rely on your own ability to climb to the bottom of the world, rather than rely on other means of transportation to be sent here.

The true dragons and Taoists have the same attitude. They do not accept stowaways. You can only come through formal ascension procedures, such as defeating the patrolling angels with your own strength, or hiding from the patrolling angels and breaking through the Gangfeng layer on your own. If you can do it, then it doesn't matter, I won't care about you.

The attitude of Buddhism is similar to that of the demon clan. They have set up a set of strict automatic management facilities to cover their own sky. This thing will naturally filter out many existences trying to come to the world, but apart from this thing, they are very Pay less attention to the 'ascended ones'.

As long as you can break through this automatic defense, it doesn't matter if you are from somewhere else.

The Taoist sect, the spiritual Tao, and the Shinto are completely different. They resist all ascended ones and do not accept the arrival of all ascended ones... No, to be precise, they resist all outsiders, even other Taoist traditions and even their own Taoist tradition. People also resist, such as the Penglai Immortal Mountain of Taoism, or the thirty-third heaven of Shinto. Outsiders cannot approach, and even the Taoism itself may not be able to see it.

But the magic way is different from these.

They don't refuse anyone who comes.

No matter who you are, no matter who you are, as long as you catch a ride on the devil's train outside the territory, they will be transported here for you, it doesn't matter, the more the merrier.

This also resulted in the hot sands in the south of the world being the most densely populated place in the world.

Each of the Baiyue Kingdoms has an area the size of an Earth-like planet. The population is generally on the order of one billion, which shows how sparse it is. On average, it is about ten people per square kilometer.

But in the Hot Sand Southland, this number can reach about 100,000 times.

One million people per square kilometer.

No kidding, you can really reach this density, and this density is not considered a ‘cave’.

If you include the accommodation capacity of various caves, caves, and small worlds, the population density of Hot Sand may reach hundreds of millions of people per square kilometer.

Even if we don't talk about the cave, just talking about this ordinary density, it is impossible to stand on the ground.

One square kilometer equals one million square meters, which means that there are people standing everywhere, so packed that there is almost no space.

Therefore, the hot sand area is actually layered.

The ground at the bottom is then layered one by one, divided into dozens of layers, until the highest level is the dome. Only at the level of the dome can you see the sky.

As for the creatures living in the lower classes, they have no sunshine, traffic jams, and almost no security.

It's simply a harsh hive world.

But... isn't this what the devil wants?

Only in this kind of place can the ultimate demonic thoughts be born. As the controller of all these demons, the demonic path is at the top, looking down at the sentient beings below who come to the 'fairy world' with hope.

They thought they had arrived in the 'immortal world', the highest place in the world, where even breathing could improve their cultivation.

But... only after they actually arrive will they realize that the place that is easy to get to may not be as good as they imagined.

They were installed on the hot sandy land, those giant urban building complexes that accommodate the work and life of a large number of people. These building complexes are layered one after another, layer after layer, stacked like hamburgers, and people are like cockroaches. Living in it, material circulation is carried out in it, and then strong demonic energy and demonic thoughts are fermented from their noble and advanced wisdom.

At this moment, Li Shiwei and the Demon Prince arrived at this place.

Li Shiwei is on the twenty-fifth floor.

In the magic area, one floor alone cannot accommodate so many people, so they use super huge buildings stacked on top of each other.

The twenty-fifth floor is the middle part. The people here have a higher status, and they are basically practitioners. If you can come here, you will be considered a leader, and you may even have the opportunity to go to the 'outside world'.

Li Shiwei looked down and saw that the sun had never really shone on the creatures here. They only enjoyed the glimmer of the magic weapon coming from behind the thick smoke and the 'inner clouds', so they looked sickly pale.

The reason why it is said to be an internal cloud layer is because the 'layer' here is actually very large, as big as thousands of meters high, which is enough to produce many clouds and mist inside the first layer. With the artificial sun on the ceiling, it can barely be considered a cloud layer. 'bright'.

After thousands of years of construction, huge cities filled the area.

Unlike the beautiful mountains and clear waters of Wu Dao, or the orderly and prosperous humanity, this place is chaotic and unimaginably noisy.

With such a large population, everyone has to survive. In this case, industrialization is almost essential.

The never-ending industry absorbs the vitality of the world, and even absorbs the vitality of other lives, at all costs, just to survive. Such measures have turned the earth into a huge radioactive desert, which may fit the description of "hot sand" Bar.

Forests of steel, wastelands of ashes, and oceans of toxic sludge make up most of this area, and the reason for this is because in this place, the only effective industrial energy source is the Great Sun Flame.

After all, this is the world. No matter how bad it looks, the technical level cannot be low. Even the lowest level mortals have mastered the controllable True Sun Flame. They can rely on magic weapons to create artificial suns one by one.

But these artificial suns, in addition to bringing heat, light, and energy, will also cause complete deterioration and serious pollution of the ecological environment due to their radioactivity. Without protection, breathing the air here will cause lungs to rot and melt.

Of course, if your cultivation is advanced and your body is strong, that's another matter.

On the earth, buildings made of quick magic weapons and simple materials are piled up layer by layer. Countless houses, residential buildings, and industrial factories are stacked on top of each other. Your house is built on my house, and my house is built on his house. On the other side, the new community is built on the roof of the old community. When you go out, you can see the second floor of the factory building next door. Looking up, you can see the pipes flowing with chemical waste liquid. From time to time, there will be a "light rain of waste liquid", and on the pipes, There are still people who are building houses and don't care whether the pipes can bear the burden.

In fact, collapses occur from time to time, and from time to time these areas are completely blocked by the ruins of collapsed or collapsing layers or parts, and new buildings are then built on top of the ruins.

Buildings one after another, just like building blocks, gradually formed the largest cesspit in the world. Except for the top people who can live at the top, near the Gangfeng layer, the lives in the lower layers are likely to arrive from the world. On the day of his death, he had never seen the sun in the world.

And many of them will choose to reproduce. Their children will live in this large dark building from birth. This is their entire world. They will never leave until they die, and they don't even have any concept of the sky and the ground.

However, they are by no means ignorant.

The Demonic Dao did not suppress their learning opportunities, and even proactively provided knowledge and techniques.

After all... they have to be allowed to practice Taoism, they have to be filled with desire, and they have to want to break out of this place and move towards a better area, right?

Otherwise, their demonic thoughts would not be strong.

The devil does not need some stupid, dirty beast.

What the devil needs is ambitious seekers, so that their Taoist hearts can become food for the devil.

There are hundreds of billions of different Taoist traditions and techniques here, mixed with each other. Their living standards are extremely poor, but the quality of their techniques is not low, and their knowledge is by no means short.

Their hearts are no worse than those of people anywhere else, and the more this is the case, the more they want to break through the prison they are in at the moment.

"I don't like this place... very much." Li Shiwei said to the Demon Prince in front of him.

"Really? I don't like it very much either, but other people like it very much. The quality of the demon thoughts produced here is particularly high, far from those breeding farms outside the domain." The Demon Prince said casually.

"Annoying." Li Shiwei shook his head.

"If you feel annoyed, then smash it. I smashed it before, but it was repaired later, so I don't bother to care." The Demon Prince looked indifferent, and then quickly came to his residence here.

There is no doubt that he lives on the top floor, close to the Gangfeng layer.

Not only is there no smoky air below, but you can even see the sunrise and sunset.

In this land of hot sand, this is a unique beauty.

Until here, Li Shiwei has been following the Demon Prince.

The Demon Prince's residence does not match his cold personality at all. In fact, it is quite luxurious, with a large number of piled up and complicated decorations. Although it does not occupy a large area, the price is obviously not cheap.

There are also a large number of collections from other sects, including top-level magic weapons, each of which is very valuable and can be exchanged for several world groups of the same grade.

"These things..." Li Shiwei asked.

"The spoils of war, many of which are life magic weapons, so I put them away." The Demon Prince said.

Then, he suddenly turned around, leaning on his crutches, and said to Li Shiwei: "We are already here, do you still want to follow me?"

He asked seriously.

"Yes." Li Shiwei nodded without hesitation.

"Interesting, this is the first time someone has followed me, but... if you follow me, you will have to face very scary things." The Demon Prince smiled.

"Scary things? What?" Li Shiwei frowned.

"Me." The Demon Prince pointed at himself.

"Uncle Mo... you are joking." Li Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "We have been together for a long time, right?"

"So you think you know me? Ha..." The Demon Prince said so.

But then, he didn't say anything, just found a place to sit down and ignored Li Shiwei.

No need, since she wants to follow, then let her follow.

It doesn't matter.

So, in the Demon Dao area of ​​the world, Li Shiwei lived in the residence of the Demon Prince.
