Myriad Paths

Xuanjing Mountain, in the sky, Li Qi looked at Chen Shuibi in astonishment.

"Wow...you are really capable of doing this." Li Qi looked helpless.

"My style is different from yours. You spoiled her rotten and what you did was really too much." Shen Shuibi said in a calm tone: "And you, you are also messing around. You two, father and daughter, really want to It pisses me off."

Although his tone was very calm, Li Qi could only laugh and did not dare to answer.

"So, let's not talk about her affairs, what about you? Using your daughter as a chess piece, do you want to become like a god?" Shen Shuibi waved his hand and set up a barrier to shape the surrounding space, and then sat cross-legged on the spot, So asked.

"Uh..." Li Qi didn't know how to answer.

"Sit down in front of me!" Rabbit raised his voice.

Li Qi silently sat opposite his wife, lowering his head and saying nothing.

"I have heard that you completely allowed Shi Wei to mix with the devil, and then used her as a pawn to lure the devil into your body and advance to the third level."

"What are you doing? I don't remember you being the person who would do such a thing." Shen Shuibi asked Li Qi.

As for Li Qi, he could only smile bitterly: "I have no choice, Yu'er. Many times, I don't have a choice."

"You have no choice? I think you are out of your mind. If you don't get promoted, will this happen? Why do you have to fight for this third level? Now that I have succeeded, it seems that I am unreasonable, but when I think about it afterwards, this matter They are all extremely dangerous. With your talent and background, whether it is Wushen Mountain or Luofu Mountain, there will be no shortage of support. Your Majesty and the others will also help you. Why do you have to fight hard? The boundary is closed—this is the result of success!”

"If it fails and both of you, father and daughter, are gone, how do you want me to deal with it? This matter is so important, but you made the decision privately and kept it secret from me until the end. I didn't even know about this until I was released! "

"Don't you think you should give me an explanation? Li! Qi!" Rabbit was sitting opposite Li Qi, staring at him, refusing to relax at all.

Li Qi smiled sarcastically, scratched his head and said, "You have no choice, Yu'er, you think I am eager for quick success, but under the circumstances at that time, if I didn't get promoted, I would be pushed for promotion. This matter is not mine. can be decided.”

"However, I also know that this matter should be discussed with you, but aren't you in seclusion? If the matter is urgent, I can only do it first and then talk about it." Li Qi stood up, walked to Rabbit, and hugged her Zhu: "Now that I have reached the third level, I have some autonomy. This is the last time, and I will never have it again in the future."

"Seriously?" Rabbit's tone became more relaxed.

"Seriously, seriously, do you think I have ever lied to you?" Li Qi hugged her tightly: "Some things are indeed beyond your control... but you know, I have never -"

"Okay, stop talking, I know." Rabbit stretched out his index finger and pressed Li Qi's lips.

In fact, why didn't she understand what Li Qi said?

But she was still very angry, and even had evil thoughts because of it.

Even the secondary demons found her here. You can imagine what the situation was like. I think there must have been a lot of powerful people involved at that time.

The Wushen Mountain side probably wanted to take this opportunity to help Li Qi get promoted directly to the third rank, and the Demonic Dao side probably had their own plans, or... would it actually be good for them to push Li Qi to the third rank?

Shen Shuibi didn't know what the benefit was, but she heard that the Demon Prince was promoted to the fourth level because of this incident, and he was very motivated before leaving, but now he suddenly disappeared after the fourth level, and he was very inspired.

It can be seen that this drama is essentially the result of the competition between the magicians. The two chess pieces, Li Qi and the Demon Prince, do not have much choice. It is best for them to succeed. If one of them fails, then the other one will probably get the spoils. The benefits of heaven.

Unfortunately, both sides were too calculated, and the situation ended in a draw.

Li Qi was successfully promoted, but he was left with the hidden danger of the demonic path. Both his inner god and the dojo were born under the guidance of the demonic path, so he needed to go to the Desire Realm to gain a firm foothold in the third level.

The Demon Prince was promoted to the fourth rank, and at the same time his spirit was encouraged. The Demon Prince in the future will probably be even more terrifying, because he has found his opponent.

Shen Shuibi could not even imagine how exaggerated the progress of a demon prince with a goal would be.

You know, the story has spread, about half of the fourth-grade patrol angels in the world have been killed, and the Demon Prince's reputation has greatly increased.

Of course, you still can't win against Li Qi, because Li Qi's reputation is even wider now.

He is now famous all over the world for being "the fastest of the third level since the beginning of the world".

From the birth of Haotian, the ancient gods and emperors shaped all things, to the chaotic war among the ancient stars, and then to the development of the Middle Ages, the pattern of the universe gradually stabilized, entered a new world, and finally developed to the present level.

All this time, even including all the time of backtracking, rebuilding, and even starting over after smashing everything, there are countless possibilities added up.

Taking everything into account, Li Qi is still the number one person in the universe.

Perhaps he is not very powerful in the third level, and cannot even be regarded as a 'complete third level'. It will take millions of years to slowly accumulate and explore, and finally lay the foundation of his own way.

Although his knowledge accumulation is indeed very large, compared with those who are truly knowledgeable among the third-grade people, it still seems too shallow.

In terms of armed combat, although he is very strong, he is not outstanding. Especially after reaching the third level, his status as a 'direct lineage of the Great Dao System' will become less valuable, so the disadvantage becomes even greater.

Li Qi used to beat up weak people, basically bullying others who were not directly affiliated with the Dao Dao system, and beating people based on cheats and cultivation, but with geniuses who were truly at the same level as him, such as the Little Heavenly Master, the Demon Prince, and the Little Overlord. In a head-on fight, it is obvious that he is at a disadvantage.

Among the geniuses at the same level who were trained with the same resources, Li Qi is really bad at fighting. He can be said to be the one with the worst grades among the top students.

He wasn't very good at civil or military skills, but Li Qi still had a particularly powerful advantage.

The speed of his practice is too fast.

Too fast to understand.

The fastest third-level master in the universe, his cultivation to this point is only over 100 million years, including looking back.

If not counted, he has only practiced for hundreds of thousands of years, and this is where the gold content lies.

Hundreds of thousands of years, many seventh-grade people are this age.

For the powerful, hundreds of thousands of years are even just the time they spend in seclusion doing small things.

This is actually quite outrageous, because there are many races in the universe that practice very quickly, such as the 'speed world' that I have mentioned before. (See Chapter 643 for details)

Their natural movement speed is extremely fast. If they do not practice cultivation, a life in the extreme speed world will only need three millionths of a second from birth to death.

Even if they achieve immortality after the seventh level, they usually only live eight days. After eight days, they will die from the collapse of Taoist heart caused by excessive lifespan.

In other words, from ordinary people's perspective, they will be promoted to seventh level in one second, to sixth level in eight days, to fifth level in sixty days, and then from fifth level to fourth level in a hundred years. .

If you can't do it, you will die.

However, at the fourth level, with solid support, they can take a breather and adjust their time perception, so that they can go from picosecond-level reactions to the patience of billions of years, and achieve true success. Immortality in the sense.

But in fact, it is not real. Real "immortality" cannot be achieved until the third level. At the fourth level, you can only control your mind to make your time not pass so fast.

For these races whose cultivation speed and life progress are extremely fast, they can accumulate a considerable number of powerful people in a short period of time. For example, the Speed ​​Realm has the most fourth-grade people in the universe, and their number of fourth-grade people is even greater than that of the world. The nine forces in the Nine Lands combined are more.

However, in this case, their number of third-grade ones did not increase at the same level. On the contrary, it was even much less than every other family in the nine places in the world.

Because after reaching this level, the impact of time on grade can be said to be minimal.

The lower the level, the more concerned about time and the greater the impact of time. For example, at the ninth level, as long as an individual has enough time and a skill, even the lowest talent in the universe can be polished by time.

Without relying on backtracking, it took hundreds of thousands of years to reach the third level.

The fastest in the history of the universe.

Li Qi smiled when he thought of this comment, but the smile was not happy, but slightly melancholy and self-deprecating.

"Don't look like that." Rabbit saw it, stood up, moved the hand that had previously pressed Li Qi's lips to his face, grabbed the left side of Li Qi's face with two fingers, and then pulled it out: "I just want to It’s just a tantrum, you won’t be angry, right?”

"Of course not. Well, there are so many people who want me like this but there's nothing I can do about it. When it comes to being a chess piece, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't get it even if they kneel down. Why bother feeling sorry for yourself?" Li Qi shook his head: "It's just that after all After reaching the third level, I will be somewhat able to stand up in the future.”

"Go and see Shi Wei." Li Qi said: "Locking the Pipa bone is a bit too much... How about——"

"I'm refining the demonic energy in her body. Why? Do you really think I'm punishing her? That's the demonic energy transformed by the Demon Lord. It's very troublesome. The head of the family is not here, and he went to the world of desire. , I came back after thousands of years, what else can I do besides this?" Shen Shuibi said.

Li Qi was helpless: "That's good. I'm here. It's not too difficult to remove the evil spirit. Let's see if she can adapt to it after she finally breaks away from her status as a chess piece."

As the two parents-in-law spoke, they had already arrived at the root of the mountain below.

Two chains extended from the roots of the mountain and penetrated Li Shiwei's bones, locking her body tightly.

She was hung there like a piece of bacon. The energy from the mountain roots and earth veins were constantly washing away her inner world, purging the demonic energy from her body.

This is actually quite painful.

Li Qi looked at all this.

Li Shiwei was completely enveloped in pain, so she had no time to notice her surroundings. She had no idea that her parents were already here.

This made Li Qi sigh.

Young people are such creatures. They always feel that they can see what life will be like ten years from now, but they don’t even know what they will eat tomorrow.

They make up a lot of things in their minds, but in fact they are completely out of touch with reality and are simply delusions.

This situation is actually very similar to Li Qi's current situation.

Li Qi and Li Shiwei were actually facing the same thing.

For example, Li Qi's cultivation is not affected by time, so he naturally cannot get the help of time. Even if he accelerates himself to the limit, he cannot gain any benefit.

Although theoretically he could slowly stabilize his cultivation over millions of years, that was actually impossible.

What Li Qi needs is not 'millions of years', but 'information calculated in units of millions of years', and this information is actually the circulation of his 'Tao' operating in the entire outer world of the universe. Calculated.

To be precise, Li Qi's 'progress' is actually the process of his Tao and the Tao of the outside world running into each other, intertwining with each other, and even confronting each other. In this process, Li Qi can realize more.

And this cycle needs to last millions of years.

Li Qi now easily distorts his time and allows himself to spend millions of years out of thin air. It will not be of any use at all. Although he has spent millions of years, he is out of touch with the time of the outside world. He accepts The external information received has not changed at all, and there is no way to talk about any gains.

In the same way, the same is true for Li Shiwei.

She wanted to use something like 'acceleration' to strengthen herself and quickly improve her level, but in fact those were all illusions.

Unable to recognize one's own true nature, unable to discover the process of constant integration between the external world and one's own inner world, unable to detect

Yes, everything is Tao. This is why Li Qi discovered that his practice has progressed rapidly.

Tao is contained in all things, every flower, every grass, every water, every tree, every move.

If it is said that Tao gives rise to all things, doesn’t it mean that all things are part of ‘Tao’?

Then, when interacting with the outside world, you will naturally receive information from the outside world, that is, you will receive part of the 'Tao'.

Every moment of experience will naturally increase wisdom and insight, and then produce an understanding of the ‘Tao’.

Everyone thinks about taking the shortcut, but they never think that letting yourself get in touch with the world is one of the fastest shortcuts.

Abandoning the perception and exploration of the outside world and pursuing heresy instead is simply a penny gain.

Spending millions of years alone is completely different from spending millions of years in the world.

Li Qi looked at Li Shiwei like that and couldn't help but put down the spell in his hand.

"It feels like it's not necessary." Li Qi said, "This is also an experience."

"Huh? Aren't you distressed?" Shen Shuibi was confused.

"It hurts, but it's a good thing. After that, let her truly experience this world." Li Qi said, turned around and left Shangen.

Someone came to visit.
