Myriad Paths

Self-cultivation and city government all refer to the same thing.

That is, the ability to control emotions and the ‘capacity’ to tolerate many things, so it is sometimes called ‘capacity’.

People who are considerate enough seem to be calm. No matter whether the world is falling apart or the earth is falling apart, they can hold it in their hearts and tolerate it, so they appear calm.

There is a saying that praises self-cultivation, "Taishan collapses in front but does not change its color; elk rises to the left but does not blink", which refers to this kind of mental abundance.

Li Qi, on the other hand, has always believed that his self-cultivation and ability are top-notch.

He had seen civilization flourish.

Wandering in some ordinary civilization, sitting on a hill, staring east, looking at the city and the ocean, with islands scattered on the sea.

Li Qi could see through the distance of space, sitting there, and immediately saw the battles on the continents on several planets. There, a certain race used the newly developed technology and the power brought by technology to control other races.

Progress and tradition began to collide, and an ancient new world was born. Ancient new ways of life and thinking began to radiate along roads and slavery.

New York, in the afternoon, with dim sunshine, Li Qi sat on the beach, facing the light of the setting sun, watching the cabins and decks of the ships transporting slaves of other races glowing red and breaking through the waves.

The boatmen in front of the stove were working hard and sweating profusely. There were several sailors standing on the watchtower, watching the route with their eyes wide open. The cabin door was open, and the wails of the slaves inside floated, and then they were drowned in the sound of the wind.

A small rocky planet, all the living beings on it, cities, villages, countless huts and shacks, and any corner where you can survive. In this backward civilization, every life is just focused. For their own small comfort and success, but everywhere is brewing a great struggle from the civilized era, and the moral struggle is spreading on this small rocky planet, although they know nothing about it.

The ancient and new ways collided, and Li Qi admired their sparks without any interference.

But Li Qi didn't interfere in anything. He had witnessed the "battlefield" in the universe where the mortal race was crushed by "humanity". To be honest, he was not sure whether that scene could be called a "battlefield" , because there is no fighting at all.

Although those mortals tried to resist desperately, their opponents were human beings. They not only had invincible spells and techniques, but also had wisdom, knowledge, and dedication that were absolutely stronger than them.

What's more important is that they have a large collective in which all individuals participate. This is a huge advantage and is the basis for the strength of humanity, so they will be easily run over by humanity.

From a humanistic point of view, those backward indigenous people are vulgar. These local indigenous people are stupid, ignorant and superstitious. They kill each other endlessly. They are mentally slow and vulgar. If you leave them alone, they are just wasting their lives and wasting their lives. The resources of the universe may one day self-destruct in civil war, and even time will be wasted. It would be better to end it all with humanity.

However, witches and monsters will sympathize with these native races. In them, witches can see the power that humanity has lost, a naive, unstable, but spiritual wisdom, an animal-like Cleverness, a spiritual outlook.

The human intruders, although extremely good, are like madmen. Therefore, in the eyes of the wizard, these conflicts become a heavily armed and ruthless killer attacking a naughty boy who has poor grades but may have a bright future.

At that time, Li Qi will choose to take action, of course not in person. If he takes action in person, he will inevitably attract other third-grade people, so he will go around and train some agents.

And these are only a small part of Li Qi's long experience.

He also lived in some utopian worlds, and he and Shen Shuibi stayed in those worlds for hundreds of years. This was part of their travels.

Those utopian worlds can even be said to have no evil intentions in a literal sense, no war, extreme peace, extremely developed productivity, and everyone can live a good life.

However, development has stalled.

Their path to civilization has been cut off, so they built a large space-time shell to seal themselves off.

In this way, no one will disturb these worlds. From Li Qi's point of view, they have protected themselves, just like prisoners locked in a cell. There is no doubt that the cell is safe.

For billions of years, they will not face any crisis. Living there is a comfortable thing, and this beauty will last until they are suddenly destroyed one day.

It was a sweet death, and they wouldn't even realize they were dead, because ordinary civilization couldn't even detect them, and could destroy their existence without wasting time on them.

Li Qi has also experienced extreme situations like Xiantian's, which can be said to be a typical example of wasted effort.

Immortal Heaven is a cycle that begins over and over again. Li Qi knows that the civilizations within Immortal Heaven have broken away from barbarism and backwardness time and time again. They have developed industrialization, magic techniques, and cultivation methods, allowing all living beings around the world to come into contact with each other. However, what follows is struggle. , various battles emerged, people longed for a better world order and fought for it, but good wishes are always just wishes, and one 'man-made disaster' after another eventually destroyed the structure of civilization.

Gradually, the world returned to a barbaric and backward state, and then developed again.

For hundreds of millions of years, this process went over and over again. Li Qi once observed all of this calmly through his own eyes. The life inside Xiantian never dreamed that such a terrifying life as Li Qi existed.

Li Qi looked down at the cycle of a world similar to the fairy world, just like a mortal looking down at a pool. The lower plankton in it kept repeating the childish business that their ancestors did two billion years ago, over and over again, in an infinite cycle. .

To say that the most magnificent thing Li Qi saw was the Dao Zheng.

In an arena, the two major opponents of the universe, two spirits, have torn away all disguises and are preparing for a desperate battle, fighting to the death in the spiritual world and the material world.

Li Qi, who has witnessed so many things, has reached what state of mind?

This universe is small but intense. Whether it is a super-intuitive reality, a violent eruption of the fountain of world creation, a splash of stars in the ocean, or countless worlds, it is a trivial matter for Li Qi. He can make them all come to him with a wave of his hand. Disappear, easily converting them into hallucinations, nothing more than insignificant things.

But he could also reach out and pick up a dandelion in the water and gently blow its seeds into the wind.

He just has such vast power and understanding.

What kind of image should such an existence have?

I don't know, the identity of the third grade is difficult to describe, but in the eyes of other mortals, Li Qi is always calm, calm and indifferent. Even if he occasionally loses his temper, he seems to have everything under control and does not make people feel panic.

A being with enough capacity can give people this feeling.

However--

Such Li Qi, at this moment, lost all his demeanor

"Damn you!" Li Qi couldn't help but cursed. All considerations seemed unimportant at this moment.

Because warriors are so unreasonable.

This was his first time fighting a third-grade warrior.

Even Li Qi was not sure whether the warrior in front of him was real or not, because the other party was not a 'metaphysical' existence. In fact, in Li Qi's view, this man and the eighth-grade warrior were essentially the same. .

The same martial arts inner energy has the same nature, but the degree of refinement is different.

The essence of the same martial arts divine will is exactly the same, but the depth of the divine will is different.

It is also martial arts, but more sophisticated, but in the final analysis it is still just martial arts.

The difference is just...

Can't stop it.

Completely unable to stop, punch after punch.

Li Qi's body was surrounded by a space-time distance as wide as a natural chasm.

So what?

With one foot, he broke through the heavenly barrier, and his fist reflected the void. The acupuncture points of his physical body burst out, and his energy and blood erupted. Gods lived in them, and when he walked, it was like heaven descending into the world. With just one punch, Li Qi's physical body was shattered.

Li Qi tried to go back to the past and let his past self interfere in the past, but the other party didn't seem to care.

If you fight in the past, I will take over in the past.

Like Li Qi, he can't go back to other people, but it doesn't matter. His martial arts divine will penetrates time and space, and the past and future are integrated into one. He is who he is at any point in time. Although he cannot interfere with other people, other people want to come and attack him. , then you can do it whenever you want, it doesn’t matter.

Obviously the essence has not changed, but what an eighth-grade warrior cannot do, a third-grade warrior can do.

What is the principle?

Li Qi tried to find techniques such as "Fist Intention", and also wanted to find clues from "Martial Arts" to find out why he couldn't avoid the opponent's fist.

After finding the reason, Li Qi was confident that he could solve it.

But... I can't find it, as if there is no reason at all.

There is no need for those skills, and there is no need to show off one's fist intention. As long as the opponent punches out, the surroundings will be like a rainbow in the sky, stars twinkling, and time and space moving.

It's like, that's how it should be.

Li Qi simply had no ability to resist.

No matter what method it is, no matter what spells, skills, or even the characteristics of Li Qi's path, it doesn't matter, they can all be destroyed with one punch.

There's nothing profound about it, it's just like a street fight, one punch after another.

One punch, and another.

A punch, still a punch.

The continuous punches seemed to have no end, as if they would never end.

Metaphysical body?

A Tao that transcends time and space?

A third-grade person with no weaknesses and no death?

Come on then——

Take this punch from me!

Li Qi was confused.

Li Qi was shocked and inexplicable.

Li Qi took a calm, deep breath and began to look for a solution.

Li Qi couldn't be found.

Li Qi was furious.

Why? Why? what happened? Impossible, impossible, what happened? Why is this happening.

Just when he said it was impossible,

His body was shattering faster.

With another punch, a string of gold stars appeared in front of Li Qi's eyes. A heavy blow made him dizzy!

What's wrong!

Why! ? Why! ?

This is unreasonable!

This is not the kind of elegant duel that Li Qi is good at. When Li Qi fights with Humanity or other Taoism, everyone is weaving elegantly, calculating the past and future, as light as a musician, adjusting each one flexibly. Note, use imagination, calculation, strategy and wisdom to win.

Intelligence, deduction, calculation, little by little affect the tilt of the battle situation. This kind of battle is so elegant and artistic, full of beauty. Even if one side loses, they can retreat calmly, just giving up part of the future.

But it's different now.

The battle with the warrior was fundamentally different from the previous ones.

This is the bite of a wild beast, whether it is fists, feet, teeth, or head, there is no part of the body that cannot be used as a weapon.

It has nothing to do with dignity, but only 'fighting'.

In the vacuum of the universe, the spiraling figures were violently colliding. The sky was flashing, which was the flash of energy caused by the explosion of the two people.

But the flash only stayed in place, because the light could not catch up with their figures. A series of explosions appeared and spread in large numbers.

Already millions of parts of the observable universe are doomed.

The reason why it is destined is that the aftermath of those collisions is expanding outward at the 'speed of light', destroying everything in its path. However, the universe is relatively large, so it will take billions of years to wait for the observable universe to be destroyed. Or even tens of billions of years.

However, the button of destruction has been pressed, and all that is left is just a countdown.

As for Li Qi, he fully felt the power of those 'rumors'. (See Chapter 448 for details)

What is the third level of martial arts?

Very simple.

If you can defeat or even kill a third-level fighter, then you are a third-level martial artist.

What is the God of War? It's not something boring like "attaining the status of a god". There's only one reason why I'm called a God of War, and that's - I'm so strong that I can knock down even fucking gods!

And now, Li Qi is the god who was knocked down.

There is no way to fight back and no way to break it.

His spells and supernatural powers are like sophisticated machines, including black technologies that destroy the multiverse, and a God of Creation simulation machine that can print galaxies.

But martial arts inner energy may not be able to destroy the multiverse, nor can it create anything.

But he can bring everything else to the same level as himself.

The warrior gave up all his magical powers, gave up all his spells, and even couldn't fly, in exchange for absolute power.

The inner energy of martial arts.

Control all anger.

All qi will melt away in the face of martial arts inner qi.

Therefore, the spells and tricks of witches are completely useless to warriors. What defense is in the final analysis is just manipulating the energy of the universe itself.

As long as you are still using "Tao" to control all things, it is impossible to win the inner energy of martial arts in direct contact.

The essence of martial arts inner energy——

It’s ‘chaos’!
