Wandao long distance

Chapter 1026 Commitment

Will things get better as long as you're alive?

I'm afraid even mortals know that living won't necessarily make things better.

So... to put it another way, is it possible that things will get better if we're still alive?

  Most mortals would agree with this, right?

After all, for them, the possibilities are endless. As long as they live long enough, perhaps they can get the future they hope for.

However, all of this does not apply to the second rank.

Who says that things are likely to get better as long as you are alive?

Nonsense.

It is possible to keep you alive while blocking you from a certain possible future, just like building a wall in front of you.

For the second-level people, possibilities and time and space are all a map "spread out" in front of them. They can look at the map and then travel through it at will, and nothing special will happen.

But if you build a wall and prevent them from reaching that possibility, it's like locking a person in a cage. You appear to be alive, but you can never go outside the cage.

Mortals might think that a Level Two in a cage still has freedom, but that's only because the cage is too big for them.

Just like the mortals living on the planet.

They cannot even step out of the earth's surface. The void of the universe and the speed of light imprison them. They will never be able to go anywhere more than a light year away in person.

But they still feel they are free and still feel they can go wherever they want.

It’s just because the surface of the earth is vast enough for them and they don’t feel constrained by freedom.

For Yang Zhenqian, the possibility of just surviving is too narrow.

Li Qi's words could not convince him.

He looked at Li Qi, waiting for Li Qi's next words.

Because of the atmosphere created by the two of them, the surroundings became depressing.

It had just rained, so the air should have been fresh and refreshing, but everyone noticed that the raindrops seemed to have become sticky.

The air was so stuffy, but there was no breeze or coolness from the outside. The huge gloomy sky looked like a box filled with stiff clouds and dead birds.

Yes, those birds also chose to land on the trees and no longer fly. All life felt oppressed. The fresh and fragrant air seemed to have never floated into this dead and dull city.

So, Li Qi continued.

"Future possibilities will ultimately be created by higher life forms themselves. If the road is blocked, then just open it up."

"So, am I not paving the way? But you are persuading me to stay in the cage and wait for the already predetermined ending. Why?" Yang Zhenqian was looking forward to Li Qi's answer.

Even though he had said this, he did not mean to blame Li Qi. The fact that his Tao heart had become what it is now had nothing to do with Li Qi, so he would not vent his anger on Li Qi.

Li Qi was silent for a while.

Then he looked up to the sky.

In the sky, the rain was still falling, but the joy of the people around had disappeared. Ordinary people did not quite understand why this rain seemed so strange and sticky.

Then, Li Qi looked up and said to Yang Zhenqian: "I can achieve the first rank, and then I can go up. The success rate will increase a lot. Just wait until then."

With just one sentence, the gloom around him was instantly swept away.

In an instant, the surrounding mountains and forests became fresh.

The wind blew in the woods, bringing with it a moist, bright, sweet fragrance. The forest on the slope and the stream that flowed through the slope and the orchard all exuded a deep and cool breath.

The stuffy atmosphere that everyone felt was instantly transformed into the normal blue sky after the rain.

There was jubilation all around again.

In the midst of the jubilation, Yang Zhenqian widened his eyes and said, "If that happens, you won't be able to travel by sun and moon."

Yes, according to what Li Qi said, Li Qi cannot get involved in Yang Zhenqian's Sun and Moon Movement. He has to rely on himself to break through to the first level.

Even Yang Zhenqian himself knew that Li Qi could actually use the Sun and Moon Walking Technique.

This time Yang Zhenqian brought Li Qi with him, with the thought in his heart that he would give it a try, and if he failed... he could use this excuse to let Li Qi get the next chance of Riyuexinglu.

In this way, Yang Zhenqian made up for his regret, and Li Qi could also get a first-grade opportunity. I think Wushen Mountain would not even agree to this.

After all, if Li Qi succeeded, he would ultimately be a wizard god.

Of course, if it fails, that’s another story, but since we are considering these things, we must be considering them from the perspective of success. If it fails… then everything will be over and there will be nothing to say.

Anyway, Yang Zhenqian felt that his heart of Taoism was already flawed. When the thought of "getting rid of regrets" came to his mind, it would be difficult for him to succeed. He might as well set an example for his son-in-law and sew a wedding dress for him.

In this way, before losing consciousness, maybe I can see what the Sun and Moon will look like after they become enlightened.

However, what he didn't expect was that the answer Li Qi proposed was even more terrifying.

Li Qi is actually ready to give up the Sun and Moon Journey!

  Where in this world can you find so many first-class opportunities?

Xiantian is one.

The sun and the moon also count as one.

  These are the only two first-class opportunities that have been made public now, right?

Li Qi doesn't want it, so how long will he have to wait before he can achieve the first rank?

"Can you do it?" Yang Zhenqian looked at Li Qi with a flickering gaze.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

"This answer is not like you." Yang Zhenqian looked at Li Qi.

Yes, this answer has nothing to do with Li Qi.

Li Qi is a man who thinks twice before he acts. He always considers many things. He will look a hundred steps ahead before he takes a step and will never take any risks. If he cannot see the road ahead clearly, he will stop and look carefully to ensure his safety before moving forward.

And now, the road to the first rank is absolutely dark.

Yang Zhenqian is also of the second grade, and he is very clear about how far he is from the first grade.

Over the years of witchcraft, there are only four witch gods. So many second-grade witches have failed despite relying on the sun and moon to travel.

The recent inner demon, relying on Xiantian's breakthrough, also failed.

How difficult is it to cultivate to the second level? How many things do you have to go through?

But in the end, they still failed at this step.

Li Qi should also know this.

So where did he get his confidence from? Li Qi was never a man without plans or promises, and he shouldn't have made such a promise.

In the surprised eyes of Yang Zhenqian, Li Qi said: "Father-in-law, Prince Mo and I have spent so much effort to collect the Desire Realm and the Formless Realm. Could it be that what we are after is just the inner demon?"

"Do you really want to target the first-grade demon? No wonder you did all this. After I fail, it will be difficult for you, right?" Yang Zhenqian smiled.

This was of course a joke, but it wasn't all a joke. Yang Zhenqian's survival would definitely be of great help to Li Qi's plan. The help brought by a second-rank who absolutely supported Li Qi was enormous.

Not to mention Li Qi, even for a big force like Wushen Mountain, there are not many second-grade ones, probably only dozens of them, and they can't take out more.

If Yang Zhenqian is really dead, the impact will definitely be enormous. It is very likely that the situation created by Li Qi will be destroyed again, and the "stabilized" reality will also be revised.

This is also the current situation of the second-grade struggle.

Many times, an event is not determined by one second-rank official, but is a "consensus" witnessed and maintained by many second-rank officials.

For example, the destruction of the City of Dreams was a fact witnessed by the second-rank officials recruited by Li Qi. As long as these second-rank officials still uphold this fact, it will not be easy for others to change that history. At the very least, they will have to fight with Li Qi and others.

The death of Yang Zhenqian is likely to bring about such a change, so Li Qi's attempt to retain Yang Zhenqian must have had this purpose in mind.

However, even if he didn't look at it so utilitarianly, Li Qi still didn't want Yang Zhenqian to die.

"There are reasons for this, but if my father-in-law really has a chance of winning, I won't force you to stay. But why bother? You don't have a chance. Your Majesty, Yang Ning, and Yu'er all need your father-in-law to support them."

"I just think you can handle it." Yang Zhenqian replied.

"So, that's why I said... Please be patient, father-in-law, until I become a rank one and my chances of winning will greatly increase. Then we can try again. Isn't that good?" Li Qi bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"Then let me ask you again, is that okay?" Yang Zhenqian said.

"can."

Yang Zhenqian remained silent.

Li Qi then added: "Even if you can't, your father-in-law will try again at that time, and no one will stop you. Why not wait? Right?"

As he said this, Yang Zhenqian's brows finally relaxed.

This is something Li Qi would say.

"You see, if you had said this earlier, I wouldn't have so many doubts. Well, I promise you, let's put this matter aside for now, and let the sun and the moon stay in the hands of heaven for a while longer." Yang Zhenqian replied, then took the lead and disappeared on the spot.

Li Qi also left here.

The sudden disappearance of the two people left the people around them confused and even caused some commotion, but in the end it was treated as an urban legend.

Maybe it will continue to be passed down in the future.

However, things were not that simple for the two people who left.

In fact, both of them knew one thing.

After Li Qi failed to break through to the first level and died, Yang Zhenqian still couldn't try.

Because at that time, he would really be the only one to hold the fort. After Li Qi's death, who would take care of Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning? Besides him, the old father, who would be able to withstand the backlash of the devil?

Ultimately, there are only two choices.

  Who will carry the banner? Who will fight hard this time?

Yang Zhenqian felt that he should try it himself, even though he felt that he would never succeed, but this would also be a way to fulfill his long-cherished wish and pain, and after his death, Li Qi would be able to take on the remaining responsibilities.

But Li Qi’s answer was…

For this first-class position, let Li Qi go for it. Let them switch roles and let Li Qi go for it this time.

The reason that convinced Yang Zhenqian was very simple, that is, Li Qi felt that he could do it.

  Can it work?

Who knows.

But Li Qi said he could do it.

Yang Zhenqian believed it.

That's enough.

The only thing that was a little surprising was Li Qi's attitude.

Li Qi, who has always been calm, conservative, and even a little cowardly, could actually say that he could taste it without any certainty.

Maybe, he can really do it?

All in all, Yang Zhenqian finally went back.

Li Qi also returned to Xuanjing Mountain, but after returning home, he found that Shen Shuibi was gone, and there was only a note.

The note said that she and Yang Ning went out, and Li Tiande was also taken out to play with her.

For some reason, Li Qi actually felt that his breathing became easier.

Ok……

It's a rare chance to go fishing.

  Go to the East China Sea!

On the other side, Luofu Mountain has already returned.

Yang Zhenqian also saw a wisp of divine consciousness that remained.

Empress Luofu also went out, also saying that she was going to see Yang Ning.

...Good thing, it's a good opportunity for me to go to Penglai, drink some tea, and refine fire. It's been a long time since I've been cleansed by the true fire of Penglai, so I'll go and rub it.

----------

As the center of the incident, Yang Ning is currently with her mother and sisters.

They were indeed out to play, and the place they came to was a very famous place in the heavens, one of the Taoist heavens, the 'Five Directions and Six Kingdoms, and the Eight Directions of the Great Ocean'.

The place where we are now is the country of Minghe Luoti. The terrain is perfectly round, the soil is as fresh as emerald green, there are no mountains or hills, and it is nine hundred thousand miles wide. The people of this country are two feet tall, and they perform rituals and chant the primordial energy of the highest order, and sing songs that can transform people, and they have a lifespan of four hundred years.

Beyond the six kingdoms is the vast ocean, with ten states on it, sparsely populated and a place where immortals rest and roam. Immortal herbs grow there, and there are also various fairylands and caves for amusement, stretching endlessly.

Luofu Goddess, Shen Shubi, and Yang Ning are here for fun, taking in the scenery, experiencing all kinds of wonders, just to relax.

Li Tiande only acts like a child when he is with his mother. Unlike Li Shiwei who liked to play with Yang Ning when she was a child, he is very afraid of his outgoing aunt.

His aunt was too enthusiastic and lively, and would force him to go out without any explanation to experience something exciting, such as one of the tourist projects here, which was a quick trip through the Yuanjing Qingdun.

This project will go straight down to the Great Wind Marsh, 520 billion miles away from the earth. If there is no protection, the cool and chaotic energy in it can blow out the soul of a fourth-grade god. However, a corridor has been built now. Not only is it safe to pass through it, but you can also face the Yuan Jing Qing Dun directly. Maybe you can get an epiphany in it, or at least experience the power of this wonder of heaven and earth.

Many people have figured out some tricks and techniques here, and you can see them demonstrating their skills here, and tourists have become part of the scenery.

Li Tiande is in great pain and is now holding his mother tightly and refusing to let go.

Lady Luofu was smiling beside them. Yang Ning went to play the second round. She said to Shen Shuibi, "So, you have let it go too?"

"Yeah, what's there to be unhappy about?" Shen Shuibi smiled.

As long as she supports Li Qi's affairs, that will be fine.
