Myriad Paths

Li Qi looked around.

It can't be said to be 'looking', because there is actually no light, no matter, and no time around. There is only pure space, and this space has no direction, which is very strange.

However, there is still information, and this information can be perceived.

It has been said before that for the existence of the third rank and above, the information from the outside world can be false and can be changed, so if you want to know the 'truth', you can only know the entity of the third rank. (For details, see Chapter 893)

Li Qi perceives the information here and obtains true and accurate information by directly knowing the entity.

He can feel...

Here, there is no direction in the sense of space, but only space itself, so there is no dimension here, and space does not have direction, so the volume is infinitely small.

The essence of three-dimensional volume, two-dimensional area, and one-dimensional length is actually the extension distance in different directions in one dimension.

One dimension is a direction, so the volume of one dimension is the length of that line, which is determined by the distance between the two endpoints.

Similarly, the area has two directions, so it is the direction between the four endpoints.

The same is true for the volume of three dimensions.

So, what if there is no direction?

So, there is only one endpoint.

There is only one endpoint, which means that the endpoint is itself, which is a "point" with no volume, because it is both the beginning and the end, so the curvature is infinite, and the curvature of space-time diverges there.

There is even a possibility that its left and right limits do not exist, so it does not approach any value. In this case, even if the concept here is not infinite, it is undefined and cannot be defined.

But in any case, because its curvature is infinite, as long as there is a little energy, it will form a result of infinite density.

Because the density is infinite, the temperature will also be infinitely high.

Then, such a point without direction is the 0-dimensional space where Li Qi is located.

A special dimension without direction.

And as a zero dimension, it will naturally become the "center" of all dimensions.

It is easy to understand that all dimensions must be expanded from here, otherwise they cannot define themselves. This is not just zero in the coordinate system, but the source of all dimensions.

There is no source and no rotation, no length and no height, and there is no property except itself.

The center of all space, the place where all dimensions unfold. If ordinary matter comes in, it will directly become a "basic unit". Only a third-grade being that can sustain itself can stay here.

"Chen Ji, it turns out that it is not only the center of the universe... but the "center" of all space. It's really amazing." Li Qi exclaimed.

With this zero-dimensional space as the center, no, it can't be said that there is no center in this zero-dimensional space at all. It should be said that... with this zero-dimensional space as the starting point, all dimensions unfold here.

If one line spreads here, it is one dimension.

If two lines spread, it is two dimensions.

And so on.

And how many lines are there here?

Li Qi took a look and the answer was - infinite.

This is an infinite dimension, an infinite real number dimension, and even if it is expanded, it can reach the high-order infinity of "summing harmonic series that cannot take values".

Li Qi sighed and said, "There are so many secrets. If we can communicate with words, how easy it would be."

"But some things cannot be conveyed by words alone. This is inevitable. If everything can be explained clearly, everyone in this world would be high-grade." Luofu Niangniang smiled.

"There are usually some places that are not conveyed clearly, or places that no one can understand."

"For places like this, we need to confirm each other like this."

"So for beings above the third grade, all records are difficult to say. Only by witnessing with your own eyes and seeing the other party's true body can you recognize the truth."

Listening to Luofu Niangniang's teachings, Li Qi nodded slightly and continued, "Then, Niangniang, Chen Ji is here, so I can say that this is... a first-grade opportunity, right?"

If Li Qi's words were heard by people outside, it might explode.

But fortunately, there are only Li Qi and Luofu Niangniang here. Family members don't talk about their own things, so there is no need to worry so much.

Luofu Niangniang shook her head to express her denial, and then said: "No, this is only half. Do you know why the first-grade path is called 'Sun and Moon Path'?"

"Half? Oh, this is the origin of space, so there is also the origin of time, right? The so-called Sun and Moon Path, should be understood in two aspects?" Li Qi asked.

Sun and Moon Path, perhaps it can be understood this way.

Sun and Moon, that is, Wutu, refer to time, and this time.

And the path refers to the area where the sun and moon move, that is, space.

If it is understood in two, it will be much easier to understand.

From a local perspective (that is, the perspective of matter), it is impossible to understand the complete space, and the same is true for time, so it needs to be combined.

"It's different, you should combine the two, that is, the movement of time and space." Luofu Niangniang corrected.

Li Qi is a genius, so there is no need to say more, and he nodded immediately: "Oh, I understand..."

He really understood.

Time and space are regarded as one because they are both synonymous with forms of movement.

Time is the scale of movement, and similarly, space is also the scale of movement.

The scale of movement in space is 'distance', which is the 'length' of movement in different directions.

The scale of time to movement is 'length', which is still based on the 'distance' of movement in different directions.

The two are inseparable from each other.

How is unit time calculated?

Movement speed = space distance/time distance.

v=s/t.

Movement = time/space.

The different ratios between them constitute all descriptions and definitions of movement. All speeds, all energy, and all thoughts can be interpreted by movement.

As we all know, time and space are variable, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the ‘movement’ itself.

Movement, for sure.

Everything is in constant motion and there is no absolutely stationary object. This is something that all children know.

And ‘Chenji’ is the movement itself.

Moreover, from here, you can even expand in two directions, just like a point can extend straight lines in two directions.

Positive numbers are on the right and negative numbers are on the left.

In other words, the universe can also have two directions, one side is the positive infinite dimension, and the other side is the negative infinite dimension, and Chenji is the common midpoint of both.

In other words, at the 'midpoint' where Chenji is located, the universe is in a state of equilibrium. If it develops to the left, there will be a universe with the ending of 'heat death'. If it develops to the right, there will be a universe with the ending of 'infinity'. energy levels' universe.

The beginning of time and space is here.

If you say this, Li Qi completely understands.

No wonder, no wonder the sun and moon journey can become an 'absolute reference system' and a 'first-class opportunity'.

Because this mastery is not superficial things like time and space.

What the sun and moon travel to master is the movement itself!

It is the ultimate law rooted in all philosophy, logic, thinking, and even matter: ‘motion’!

In the face of such an ultimate law, Li Qi could only lament to himself.

Can he really resist the power of the ‘movement’ itself?

If this is an opportunity for the First Rank, then... what kind of power do the other First Ranks have?

Li Qi couldn't help but be fascinated.

Can even something like exercise be mastered essentially? If it can really be done, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has mastered the foundation of matter and soul.

Li Qizhen couldn't think of anything that was deeper and more essential than "movement".

Everything, both spiritual and material, must be succumbed to the movement itself.

Because, if there is no movement, then nothing can be recognized, and nothing can be born.

In this way, ‘Chen Ji’ is indeed qualified as the midpoint of all things.

Empress Luofu looked at the surprised Li Qi, and then said: "However, my Tao cannot master this, so it is all Yang Zhenpian's responsibility. Unfortunately, he also failed, he can no longer master Chenji. "

Li Qize withdrew his mind from the vast Taoism. He looked at Empress Luofu and said, "So, we can only leave it to Wushenshan, right? Then, Wushenshan should have known this secret. Yes, and the suitable second-grade people have already begun to try to master it.”

"And now that I have learned this secret, does the empress want me to be promoted to the second rank and then try to master it?"

To be honest, Li Qi was a bit vain when he said this.

Master Chenji?

he?

Not to mention the issue of path conflicts, it is not clear when Li Qi will be promoted to the second level. Generally speaking, when he reaches the third level, all the talents of a mortal will be used up. In this place, talents are meaningless for progress.

The only things that can determine the speed of progress in the third level are adventure and competition.

Everyone can easily bring their talents to the top, and then all that is left is actually the ability to process and distinguish various types of information.

"No, this kind of important task should not be entrusted to you, but you really should understand this." Empress Luofu shook her head: "It is not that simple to master Chenji. It is... too dangerous for you."

"Then why do you still tell me?" Li Qi asked with a smile.

"...It's safe." Empress Luofu's expression was a little subtle.

"Then I won't talk about this. By the way, empress, in that case, have you ever thought about the meaning behind Chenji? What do you think is the reason for the existence of sports?" Li Qi changed the topic.

"As far as my answer is concerned, existence itself does not need a reason. It is really meaningless to talk about other things besides existence." Empress Luofu replied.

Li Qi understood.

No wonder Empress Luofu said she couldn't master her Tao. It seems true.

For Taoism, after having found the ultimate of Tao, it is really meaningless to go back further.

There is no more essential thing, and everything other than essence is non-existence and nothingness. Only in this way can we carry infinity, because infinity cannot exist in reality.

We can have "reality" entirely because everything in the universe is limited.

A universe must have many industrial characteristics, for example, it must be consistent and coherent.

In theory, anyone, anywhere could conduct the most detailed experiments on anything in the universe and come to consistent conclusions. The foot that kicks the stone will always feel the reaction force of the stone, no matter where we kick or how we kick.

In addition, the environment must be self-sufficient: any questions must be answered within the environment, without requiring the controlled person to assume the existence of an external world.

If a person is born in darkness, you will definitely think that there should be other things in the world besides darkness - how could your consciousness emerge from that pitch-black chaos?

Therefore, the universe must be self-sufficient, isotropic, and its essence has been clarified, without the need to pursue something higher.

This answer cut off Empress Luofu's path.

Admittedly, this answer was great, enough to push Empress Luofu to the level of the 'basic unit' of the third rank, but it could not support her to move forward, and her path to the third rank was cut off.

The road to pursuit is so terrifying. If Empress Luofu wants to go further, she can only choose to be reincarnated and rebuild her life.

Moreover, this kind of reconstruction means giving up one's own 'reality', throwing the already transcendent self back into the vast nothingness, and completely placing one's life, death and even 'self' in the hands of other three levels.

Not all third-grade people whose paths are cut off can make this decision.

When he thought of this, Li Qi couldn't help but admire those third-grade people who were willing to reincarnate.

This is really...

Give up your own reality, give up all the power and personality of your basic existence, reduce yourself to an existence that can be erased at will, and then gamble on the possibility of reshaping yourself.

Moreover, Li Qi heard that when you are in the womb, the more painful the memory, the harder it is to forget...so it is best to give yourself a little hatred.

It's really cruel.

But that's exactly what it is, pain is a mechanism, and not forgetting pain is to make life better.

If the pain is easily forgotten, people will die easily.

"So, empress, you have confused me. You didn't ask me to come, and you can't use it yourself. So what else can I do in this place?" Li Qi asked.

"You came here on your own, I didn't invite you." Empress Luofu said.

Li Qi was stunned by these words.

Did you come by yourself?

Wait, can I come to this place by myself? He clearly felt the special fluctuations and the divine will of Empress Luofu before, so he was able to come in.

Could it be that——

"Wait, that is to say, as long as they master the secret of Chenji's golden elixir method, anyone can come?" Li Qi asked.

"Well, if you want to completely master this place, I'm afraid you need a first-class one, right? That's why Yang Zhenpian was discovered here, so Yang Zhenpian was taken by the Human Emperor Sword... Not to mention this, at least for the time being, there are still very few people who know about this place. Yes." Empress Luofu replied to Li Qi.

Li Qi always felt that she meant something.

However, it seems that there is no need to ask more, Li Qi can generally understand.

On the road of spiritual practice, no one knows which is the right path.

Therefore, until you can prove that the path is wrong, you can only believe that the path you are taking now is the right one and move forward with all your strength. There is no other way.

"Then, I will work hard, and I will also be more attentive to Yu'er and Yang Ning." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
