Wandao long distance

Chapter 1025 The Last Second Rank (8K Chapter)

All in all, the war with the second-grade demons is over.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

For example, Wu Xian also came back, and he had the "concept" he wanted in his hand.

As for Xiantian...

Li Qi didn't know.

Anyway, Xiantian disappeared in the end.

Li Qi was not very clear about what the spirit path had become, but it had shrunk anyway.

It's hard to assess what happened, but there's no need to know everything.

It was just like many sects actually didn’t care what Li Qi was doing. The explosion of Li Qi and the Demonic Sect was really nothing in their eyes, just like Li Qi didn’t care what they were doing.

Everyone does their own thing and no one delays anyone else.

Apart from the disputes among the major sects, there are no major events that "attract the attention of all living beings" in this universe. After all, the universe is so big that there will always be places that are too lazy to even look at you.

The universe is like a huge, collaborative mural. Without informing each other, everyone painted this part and I painted that part, and finally created this magnificent cosmic scroll.

As for the places where our drawings intersect, it is up to both parties whether to work together to create or to fight for the right to define this section.

After parting with the Demon Prince, all Li Qi had left was to wait.

  By the time the Demon Prince finishes reading the Tripitaka and the Taisho Tripitaka, it should be about the same, right?

As for Li Qi himself, he was not planning to read those things. He was not interested in these Buddhist things. Li Qi still believed that the essence of the universe was material, and using self-consciousness as a criterion for judgment was really not in line with his path.

Li Qi thought so and then set out on his journey home.

----------

As soon as I got home, the fresh aroma of medicine lingered in the air. Amid the lingering fire, the glow of alchemy on the stove was flickering.

"Are you back?" Shen Shuibi asked beside the alchemy furnace.

"Well, it's time to rest after this. There's nothing specific to do." Li Qi returned to his recliner, rocking and watching the clouds rolling outside.

The fire of elixir gradually died down.

Shen Shuibi put away the refined elixir, put it into the gourd, and then walked over here.

She sat on Li Qi's legs, and the rocking chair lost its balance and fell backwards, but it immediately stood up again due to the effect of its own material, up and down.

"What's wrong?" Li Qi hugged her without moving. He just lay there and let the rocking chair rock.

"Everything has been resolved. There shouldn't be any enemies we're about to face, so, what about that thing we talked about before?" Rabbit grabbed Li Qi's hand and placed it on his belly.

"What's the matter? Oh, having a second child, um..." Li Qi remembered what he had said before.

Have a second child.

What if it was a barbecued pork? Li Shiwei had already given Li Qi a headache, and if there was another one, Li Qi felt that his old bones could not bear it.

To be honest, his inner demons had never troubled him so much, and he had never had such a headache even when he went to the battlefield.

"You didn't care about her before, and Jiupin let her go out to wander around. Plus, you were targeted by the evil sect, so how can you blame her? Isn't Shi Wei much more obedient now? Besides, we were still immature at that time." Shen Shuibi rubbed Li Qi's chest lightly with the back of her head and said so.

"Yeah...that's right. Well, come on." Li Qi broke free from Shen Shuibi's hand, picked her up, turned her over, and let the two of them lie on the recliner facing each other.

Since I have nothing to do now, I might as well have another child and raise him well.

After all, his own descendants will definitely be very strong. They are direct descendants of the second rank, and they are not the type that give birth to millions of them at a time. They are the result of good birth and good upbringing.

With the policy of eugenics and good parenting, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

However, it is said that the delicate strings are playing softly, the jade bracelets are jingling in harmony with the movement of arms, the room is lit by lamps, and couples are lighting lamps, the joy is not over yet, and they are very happy.

This time, Shen Shuibi's pregnancy lasted much longer than before.

Li Shiwei has only been around for seventy or eighty years, but this time it is not calculated based on seventy or eighty years, we have to add ten thousand.

But the second child was finally born, a boy.

On the day of the birth, both Laqi and Li Shiwei were present, but Li Shiwei's expression was a little subtle.

Shitou came with him, and he seemed very calm. However, Li Qi could see that he was actually very curious. Shitou seemed to care a lot about this "brother".

Li Qi saw it, and he probably wanted to see what Li Shiwei looked like when she was young.

To be honest, Li Qi was also a little... scared about this.

  It can’t be the second bastard, right?

Hope not.

But one thing is reassuring, the second child is obviously a natural alien.

When he was born, even the whole world saw strange signs.

There are five kinds of floating scenes, clouds soaring into the blue sky, and four green dragons rising up into the sky. One can also see thousands of horses flying together and galloping in the sky, driving Ju Mang, spring carrying the sun, and Zhen standing in the east.

Li Qi looked at the time and felt that there was a divine aura riding a blue dragon, surrounded by the dark yellow and bleak light, in the shape of a red and purple wheel, so a rainbow could be seen in the sky. It was the way to control Zhurong. It was the longest time of the sundial, and the South Pole star was shining brightly. Finally, that divine aura, riding a red chariot, with thousands of riders galloping, fell into Li Qi's arms.

The reason is very simple, because Li Qi is now a second-grade official, and Shen Shuibi is also a fourth-grade official.

A second-rank offspring who was born with good birth and good upbringing must be much stronger than Li Shiwei who was born when she was a fifth-rank child. For example... this cub was already a seventh-rank child when he was born.

A cub of this level is basically a natural alien species of the same level as Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi, at least at the level of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit.

Li Qi studied it carefully and felt that this time... he gave birth to a god.

This kid obviously inherited Li Qi's divine qualities, resulting in him possessing complete divine characteristics from birth.

Shen Shuibi went to rest. Even for her, giving birth was a very painful experience.

The production of a powerful being is different from that of a mortal being. In essence, it is tearing the rhythm of the Tao away from one's own path.

This is even similar to Tao injury.

It was Li Qi's Tao, which, after combining with Shen Shuibi's Tao, parasitized on Shen Shuibi's body, then developed, eventually took shape, and was then torn off.

In fact, Li Qi can also take on this responsibility, that is, to make Li Qi pregnant.

The production of the powerful ones is more like a fusion.

This is how the Sun-Moon True Lead Cauldron worked. In fact, Yang Ning and Shen Shuibi were both born from the belly of the Sun-Moon True Lead Cauldron, so there was nothing strange about it.

In fact, even in nature, there are examples of males giving birth, but only ordinary people who have seen little would find it strange.

However, Li Qi has provoked the Demonic Path after all, and it is easy for Li Qi to be weakened for a period of time when he is responsible for this matter. It is easy for him to be caught in a flaw and then die, so the rabbit is still in his arms.

As for his second son, Li Qi saw that he was born from wind and clouds and conceived from rain and dew, so he named him Li Tiande.

The Dao of Qian is the change, leaving the lower body and entering the upper body, so it is called the change. It is in the position of heavenly virtue, which means that the nine-five yang is in the sky, shining and overlooking the vastness, so it is called "heavenly virtue".

The weather is clear. Use pure strength to observe the sky, and then you will be able to see it.

It is in the position of heaven's virtue, reaches the extreme with the times, and has the ultimate with the fortune of the times.

Not only did he point out the other person's identity as a god, but he also hoped that he would... have better luck.

Li Qi now feels that luck is really important.

Afterwards, as the celebration ended, everyone left.

Li Qize began to teach his second son.

Start from the beginning. You can’t let it go this time.

So Li Qi started to stay at home and take care of the children.

During this period, Li Qi even brought in Laqi to educate Li Tiande from scratch.

However, Li Qi soon discovered that... Li Tiande did not need his teaching.

As a natural god, he is very opinionated and it is no exaggeration to say that he is stubborn. If he thinks it is right, he will do it and will never back down. When encountering problems, he would rather think about them himself rather than ask his father.

Laqi also took care of his junior brother several times according to Li Qi's instructions, and then he was surprised to find that this junior brother was naturally intelligent and not naive at all.

Generally speaking, innocence has only one life. Once it dies, it is dead. It cannot be revived in the ashes of fantasy and maturity. A mature person cannot regain his innocence. When innocence is replaced by acquired knowledge, life will lose its innocence forever.

As for Li Tiande, he is not innocent or cute at all, and there is no such thing as dead innocence.

This is a very unlovable child, just like Li Qi when he was young, lifeless and absent-minded. He likes to meditate, but he is unwilling to tell others what he is thinking about.

When no one was noticing, he would put the results of his meditations into practice.

And the results are usually pretty... horrible.

How to say it, Li Qi saw the shadow of Yao Ji in it.

Being divine by nature, he seems to have no empathy and is indifferent to mortals.

This gave Li Qi a headache for a while.

So, one day, he sat next to Li Tiande.

Although Li Tiande still looks like a child of seven or eight years old, that is only because the development and cultivation of gods are relatively slow. In fact, he is almost two hundred years old.

Of course, this is actually nothing. At this age, many monsters with longer lifespans are still innocent and naive.

Because psychological age does not automatically increase linearly with age, but is gradually changed with strength and experience. Even for mortals, if a child lives under the protection of adults all his life and does not experience the hardships of the world, then even at the age of twenty, thirty, or even fifty, he will still be a giant baby with a child's mentality.

There are definitely many people like this.

One's mentality needs to be honed by experience. Without it, it is normal to remain a child throughout one's life.

However, this does not apply to Li Tiande.

He looked like he had not drunk all the Meng Po soup when he was born.

Although it is a child's face, it looks serious and solemn, as if he has seen through the mundane world.

"Hey, Tiande." Li Qi sat next to his son: "What are you looking at?"

"Father, you should be able to see what I am thinking." Li Tiande said in a calm voice.

"You know, I never care what you think. In fact, I basically don't care what anyone thinks. It's useless." Li Qi said.

"If you don't need it, but still ask me what I'm thinking, isn't that a waste of time? Why bother? If you want to know, just read it. If you want to know but never read it, then I actually think that father, you don't want to know what I'm thinking. You just want me to say it myself. No matter what I say, you just want to discipline my behavior." Li Tiande replied.

Li Qi sighed.

I really want to beat him up.

But never mind, it's not necessary.

"I don't want to discipline you, but I know that reading minds can't really help you understand a person," said Li Qi.

"Can't?" Li Tiande asked in confusion.

"Can you read minds?" Li Qi asked.

"Of course I can't." Li Tiande said as a matter of course.

"You can't, but I can. Then from what perspective are you questioning me?" Li Qi asked back.

Li Tiande pondered for a moment, then said, "What you said makes sense, so father, do you have to know what I am thinking at this moment?"

"I don't have to know, I just want to know. This is not a deal and there is no intention behind it. I just want to hear what my son is doing now." Li Qi was a little helpless.

"I don't quite understand. If there is no purpose, then nothing should be done." Li Tiande replied.

"Okay, then I won't ask anymore. However, does one have to have a purpose when doing things?" Li Qi could only give up, but still asked another question.

As these conversations continued, Lachi, who was standing next to him, felt the same way.

He has had this kind of conversation with his junior fellow apprentice more than once.

It's really painful.

"If there is no purpose, then it should be like this world, just naturally." Li Tiande looked at the scenery outside and stretched out his hand: "The existence of the world has no purpose, so it will not do anything."

“And if something is done, there must be a purpose.”

"So, this is my answer to you, father. I don't have any purpose, so I didn't do anything. I just stayed quietly, just like this world, that's all."

Li Tiande said without changing his expression.

Li Qi looked at the other person.

This look is really——

God?

In the end, he gave up teaching the child personally because he felt it was unnecessary.

Li Tiande does not need to be taught, he is born knowing it.

Perhaps it will be until he is exposed to worldly affairs that he will take the initiative to look for Li Qi, hoping to gain enlightenment from his father's wisdom.

Before that, Li Qi should not bother him and affect his growth. But... unexpectedly, Li Tiande likes his mother very much.

Although he was so cold and silent to others, he really liked to sit in Shen Shuibi's arms and daydream.

Only at this moment did he look like a child.

Then let the child be raised by his mother.

However... just when Li Qi was worrying about his children, another incident happened in the world.

Another second-rank person fell.

From then on, all the second-grade witches who were adapted to the Sun and Moon Path died.

--------

Another second-rank person fell.

But I saw the sun and the moon become eclipsed, the five planets lost their alignment, mountains collapsed, rivers burst, springs gushed out, disasters appeared, evil stars shone brightly, famine was rampant, all living beings died young, and all things were damaged.

The entire universe was shaken. Although most people could not see it, Li Qi could still clearly see the broken rules and the reshaping of history.

When a second-rank person dies, everything he has done will become "ownerless". These events that were originally protected will now return to heaven and earth.

This triggered a new round of scramble. Some of his former enemies, some imprisoned third-grade masters, or other powerful people who had plans for many events would all scramble for these events.

Once you have these events, you can use your abilities to define the history affected by these events, and the universe will naturally change as a result.

The events that the Second Rank was in charge of were definitely major events, so the competition that followed his death was also huge, but Li Qi had no interest in this and just watched them fight.

As long as it doesn't affect the affairs of the Demonic Path, it's up to him. He doesn't really care.

But there is another thing that Li Qi must pay attention to.

You know, at this moment, the witch has the opportunity of the great way, but does not have the second level that can be used.

So, the question of the ownership of the sun and the moon needs to be discussed in detail.

Therefore, Li Qi was invited by the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron.

Yang Zhenqian asked him for help and went to find Wushen. After all, there was no second-grade person in Wushen Mountain who could use the opportunity of the Great Dao. If possible, perhaps Yang Zhenqian could give it a try.

After the two contacted each other in advance, Yang Zhenqian soon arrived at Xuanjing Mountain.

On Xuanjing Mountain, Yang Zhenqian fell next to Li Qi.

He was dressed like an ordinary Taoist priest, but you could tell at a glance that he was special. For example, his pupils were golden bronze, the color of brand new bronze.

And although he was dressed very ordinary, his temperament was not ordinary at all. His whole body was extremely heavy, and his hair, beard, and clothes did not "flutter" when he walked. Even the wind did not move them at all, as if no physical settlement was made.

The tripod is a heavy object. It is a powerful and important tool. Even evil spirits and monsters cannot get close to it. Its power is almost unchangeable.

This is also what the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron shows.

When Yang Zhenqian arrived, Shen Shuibi naturally came out to greet him, and the couple bowed to the elder together.

"Okay, we are all family, so there is no need to do such unnecessary things." Yang Zhenqian helped the two of them up.

"Okay, please come in, father-in-law." Li Qi stood up and invited the other party into the cave.

The three of them entered the cave and sat at the table.

Shen Shuibi poured tea and placed various spiritual fruits on the table, while Li Qi and Yang Zhenqian started talking about business.

Because he had known about it beforehand, Yang Zhenqian did not exchange pleasantries with Li Qi, but asked directly: "So, what do you think? Can it be accomplished when the great Dao comes? You are from the inner circle of Wu Dao, what do you think of the Wu God who controls this thing?"

Li Qi shook his head: "Father-in-law's plan is reasonable, but...Wu Shen Mountain should not be handed over so easily. The Wu Shen who controls the sun and moon should be Cang Tian. His words... are hard to say."

If Li Qi had not been ostracized by Wushen Mountain, then as far as he knew, there were four Wushen in Wushen Mountain.

Wuxian, Wugeng, the earth, and the sky.

The four witch gods include all the power and knowledge possessed by witchcraft.

The movement of the sun and the moon is now in the hands of the sky.

"Oh my God... But I still have to try it. It's just there anyway. If you let me try it, that would be great." Yang Zhenqian said.

"Why do you say that, father-in-law? If you go to the Sun and Moon Road now, doesn't that mean..." Li Qi didn't say the rest of the words.

Given the current state of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron and his current Dao Heart, if he rashly used the Sun and Moon Path to break through to the first level, the outcome would most likely be the same as those of the second level Wu Dao.

If you fail to be promoted to the first rank, you will die.

This kind of death was not caused by external forces, but by the collapse of the second-grade self. In the face of the power of the first-grade, he completely lost control of himself.

The impact of this kind of death is so great that it is even greater than actively engaging in reincarnation and cultivation.

"Isn't it good to take a gamble? Or do you want to persuade me?" Yang Zhenqian asked.

"I really want to persuade my father-in-law, but it's really... unnecessary. Why bother?" Li Qi said with a sigh.

"You are not a child anymore. Why are you telling me such important matters in the Tao?" Yang Zhenqian put down the teacup and looked at Li Qi seriously.

Li Qizhe also answered seriously: "Father-in-law, it is precisely because this is related to the path that we must be cautious. We only have one chance, and we can't lose it in a short time. Why risk our lives at this time?"

"I think that if we prepare carefully and plan ahead, we may have a chance in the future. Even if it's a 50-50 chance, it's better than a 100-50 chance of survival now."

Li Qi said seriously: "Father-in-law, if you try this now, to be honest, it is just to give yourself a way out and give an explanation for your path. It is all over, but what about the mess left behind? Is this really what you want?"

Yang Zhenqian asked back, "Are you so sure that I will lose? The Sun and Moon Road is the path I found. Could my chances of winning be lower than that of Wushen Mountain?"

"Father-in-law, if you were sure, why did you hesitate at the beginning?" Li Qi asked.

This made Riyue Zhenqianding's hand holding the tea freeze for a moment.

But he couldn't say anything to refute.

Yes, he actually hesitated at first.

He wanted to wait for a good time, a perfect opportunity, so he hesitated.

The result of hesitation was that the Human Emperor Sword fell from the sky and shattered the Luofu Cave Heaven.

So, now he didn't want to hesitate, he wanted to give it one last try, but Li Qi didn't agree.

Li Qi said: "The Sun and Moon Road is there, it will never disappear. To be honest, although this is a bit beastly to Wushen Mountain, but all the second-grade adaptations have failed, which is actually a good thing for my father-in-law."

"Since you chose to wait in the first place, why rush now? Why not wait a little longer?"

"Wait until how long? If you mean wait until you are sure, then to be honest, I'm not sure." said the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron.

  Wait until you are sure?

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if he would be able to be sure in the future.

Who knows, this wait might be forever.

So, should I wait forever, wait until I give up in the future, or give it a try here?

If I try my best, I will most likely become a martyr, but it will be an explanation to myself.

The path is cut off, and those who have not experienced it cannot understand it.

"Well...father-in-law, it feels a bit hollow to talk in Xuanjing Mountain. Why don't we go out for a walk?" Li Qi changed the subject.

Yang Zhenqian did not refuse. Since Li Qi wanted to show him something, there was no harm in letting him take a look.

Shen Shuibi did not interrupt.

The two people did not choose any special place, but just found one at random on a planet outside the domain.

It was really random, there were no selection criteria, I just randomly found a world with life reactions.

This is a typical humanoid world, but it is still in its primitive age.

They had just developed civilization and were still at the stage where priests controlled power. They had not developed any outstanding technology, and their overall architecture and political system were still in the Stone Age.

Despite this, due to local ecological reasons, they have already mastered preliminary means of cultivation, because the strength of this world is actually quite high, the local creatures are quite powerful, there are some natural monsters and elementals, some can even reach the eighth level.

Therefore, although the level of civilization is not high, the practice system here has reached the ninth level of the strongest civilization with the blessing of the locals.

The ninth rank is actually quite terrifying for mortals. A ninth rank warrior can even reach the speed of sound. It is no problem to call him an extremely powerful warrior.

In addition to this, priests who can communicate with elementals and monsters also enjoy a very high status, even higher than those warriors.

During this stage, society was divided into several groups: warriors, priests, and civilians.

This is a bit like the original appearance of the human race in the world.

Witches and warriors made up the structure of the human race at that time. Witches were in charge of communicating with demons and natural spirits, while warriors protected ordinary people or became the confidence for witches and shamans to go out.

"It's true. I miss them a little. I haven't seen mortals for a long time." Yang Zhenqian transformed into an ordinary local and said so.

Li Qi looked at the other person and found him a little funny.

The locals like to wear robes made of stone, metal and a local fiber plant. In order to blend in here, Yang Zhenqian changed into this appearance.

However, since the other party had changed, Li Qi couldn't continue to stay the same, so he also became like the local natives.

Shen Shuibi didn't come because she seemed to feel that it was not convenient for her to sit in on the class, so she stayed in Xuanjingshan.

The two of them strolled in this primitive city, not attracting any attention at all.

The city is beautifully built, with buildings mostly made of stone. Huge statues of gods can be seen on the distant mountains.

There were tall trees on both sides of the road, towering above people's heads, tightly packed together, with most of them spreading out over their heads, blocking the gaps through which the light should have passed, bringing a hint of refreshing coolness.

The plants were covered with dew, and at one time there was a thin mist among the trees, hung with flowers, so that the city, seen from without, looked like a green sheet with the colours of an old, faded chintz.

Li Qi and Yang Zhenqian were walking inside, watching the cultivation system here.

In fact, there is nothing to see. A second-grade cultivator can see through everything about this civilization with just one glance.

For example, now they are watching the priests' 'trance possession'.

The so-called spiritual possession is that the priests mix some potions by themselves and then drink them, and then enter into a kind of dream, which makes their souls fly out of the body and enable them to communicate with some natural spirits and elemental bodies, and even communicate with monsters directly through the mind without the need for language.

However, sometimes things go wrong, for example... when the soul flies out of the body, the body can easily be invaded by other things.

For example, if the soul enters a dream, it is easy to go to the "dream world", which is what Li Qi often calls the world of "pure spirit".

In that case, it’s hard to say what will come out.

Therefore, falling asleep is an extremely dangerous thing, and entering a dream state through drugs is like seeking death.

In the past, this was simply the trademark style of the evil path, sneaking into the hearts of practitioners through dreams and then infecting the entire world, as if it were commonplace.

However, Yang Zhenqian noticed that——

There is no magic way.

There is no dream world.

"Oh...is this the consequence after successfully destroying the demon? This is true. Congratulations." Yang Zhenqian sighed as he watched the priests drink the drugs and enter a crazy state, but no evil thoughts emerged.

"It's not just this world." Li Qi looked at the priests who were dreaming without any burden and said, "Now, it's rare to see demons appear in the heavens."

During the conversation between the two, it can be seen that a spirit of nature responded to the priest, allowing the priest to summon a strong wind. The strong wind swept the clouds in the sky, forcing countless clouds that should not have gathered together to gather together. As a result, water vapor overflowed and turned into heavy rain, falling on the earth.

The wind and rain raged, the soldiers clapped their weapons, and the civilians offered their respects and praises.

The rain came and the crops began to greedily absorb the rain water.

This was just an ordinary rain-praying ceremony, a major festival for mortals, but nothing for Li Qi and Yang Zhenqian.

What really amazed Yang Zhenqian was the closure of the dream world and the fact that evil thoughts were no longer rampant in his pure spirit.

This shows that the interference of the devil in the real universe has been reduced to a lowest point, perhaps even the lowest since the creation of the world.

"Father-in-law, when I said I would destroy the demon, what do you think the chances of my success were?" Li Qi said.

Yang Zhen Qian did not answer.

"Now, although we cannot say that there will be no future troubles and the devil has not been completely eradicated, all living beings will no longer be disturbed by the devil. It may not be forever, but at least for now."

"If even I can do it, why should my father-in-law care about waiting a little longer? The so-called 'living' is actually the continuous extension of possibilities, right? Our death is the closure of possibilities. Since my father-in-law's timeline is still spreading, it cannot be said that the possibilities have been closed."

"Now that the evil thoughts have not invaded, the evil thoughts have arisen in my father-in-law's heart because of the opportunity of the Great Dao. Why bother?" Li Qi persuaded.

"I know what you said, don't I?" Yang Zhenqian shook his head: "But, just because the possibility of survival is not closed, it doesn't mean that the possibility of the path can be extended."

Living will get better.

This sentence……

Just fool the kids.

Living may just lead to a more painful future.

  (Add more and more)

(By the way, 1022 was released, and some plots were changed. I didn’t expect that Li Qi was convicted of underage violence)
