Myriad Paths

"Who is it!?" The seventh-grade shark man reacted immediately and stood up decisively!

But Li Qi showed his body directly, walked out, and said doubtfully: "Is this how the Bai Zhu family... produces mussels?"

At the same time, he also opened his most oppressive form.

"Who are you, Your Excellency? This is the secret place of the Bai Zhu family. Breaking in without authorization... may cause misunderstandings." The seventh-grade shark was originally ready to take action directly, but when he really wanted to take action, he failed. Decisively chose to give in.

The person in front of me easily broke through the Pearl Formation and walked here leisurely...

This seventh-level shark can only say that he absolutely cannot do it, and... the hope of doing it within his lifetime is slim.

This was a formation that the master of formations from the family came to create personally. He couldn't even understand it, but the person in front of him... could break it easily.

If he takes action without permission, the other party will definitely be able to suppress him easily, and... he can feel the aura of this person.

There was an... indescribable sense of oppression, like some kind of ruin that swallowed everything. The shadows around him seemed to be twisting and squirming.

Even if they are both at the seventh level, he still believes that the other party can kill him in an instant, and he will not have any chance to react.

Magic!

This is definitely a completely demonic way, and it is an extremely superior demonic energy with a purity so high that it is simply unimaginable.

Let Li Qi use his own metaphor. If ordinary magic is coffee beans, then the demonic energy lingering in his body is the processed and purified caffeine crystals.

One can only bring pleasure to people, but the other can directly destroy the nervous system of living things.

This is the result after all the demonic energy has been removed by the Witch God. If the demonic energy poured in directly by the demon was used, then Li Qi's purity would be so high that it is indescribable and incomprehensible. The demonic energy could even be completely Distort reality and create a new life form.

In fact, it did.

However, this seventh-level shark was puzzled, why did such a demon find him?

Li Qi didn't care about that. He just gradually put away the demonic energy around him and walked two feet away in front of the seventh-grade shark.

Only then did the seventh-grade shark finally see Li Qi's face through the cover of the demonic aura.

His pupils shrank and his body became slightly stiff.

"What? Do you recognize me?" Li Qi smiled.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency——" This seventh-grade shark man looked nervous and stuttered a little.

It was indeed recognized.

This is the outsider that the gentleman pays his attention to with a scale.

It's just... The gentleman said he was a witch, but he didn't say it was a demon.

"Well, it seems true. Jiaolong arranged for the Baizhu family to spy on me? So... Baizhu Zhaoyue knows me, but he hides it very well. The younger member of your family has much better acting skills than you." Li Qi said lightly.

As he said that, he had already walked to the center of the mansion, where the dragon scales were.

Li Qi compared the breaths.

That's right, it's the dragon that uses mirages to confuse himself.

Then... the reason why the other party used mirage to confuse him is also obvious.

When I came to this Dongyu Island, I was essentially guided by the mirage, because the algorithm I got pointed directly to this Dongyu Island. The dragon has power here, but it may not be the case in other Dongyu Islands. .

If you let yourself wander around the East China Sea, you may not be able to come to Dongyu.

"Well...the purpose of Jiaolong and the Baizhu family..." Li Qi pondered for a while, then looked at the scales.

The clam mother of Bai Zhu's family seems to be formed by dragon energy.

The dragon energy was extracted from the dragon scales, and with the help of this formation, it was being fed to some relatively small pearl clams.

These pearl clams, controlled by this special formation, after forcibly absorbing the dragon energy, are...

This formation was quite strange. Li Qi couldn't understand the principle, but it seemed to be manipulating the body of the clam to induce its 'mutation'. It was such a wonderful method.

I don’t know how to describe it. Is it mutation or ‘evolution’?

The Dragon Qi is giving birth to these mother clams, forcing the seedlings to grow, and turning these ordinary pearl clams into the appearance of 'mother clams', but this is obviously not a good thing for the mother clams.

The small world inside the body of the clam seems to have cracks due to such growth, and the path has been distorted, and the life span has been shortened sharply. Although it was forcibly promoted to the eighth level, each clam has less than ten years of life left. .

Under normal circumstances, these pearl clams can live for hundreds of years. If they can cultivate themselves to the eighth level, they can easily live for hundreds of years.

And... just like the clams outside, the clams here are also immersed in the illusion. This species is not very smart to begin with. Unless it can improve its level, its thinking ability is very average, so it is completely fascinated by the illusion. I didn't feel anything was wrong, I would probably spend my life in such a muddle.

Is this what the Bai Zhu family does? Is it also a method allowed under the Way of Heavenly Evolution?

But think about it, it is true.

The way of Tianyan...perhaps it means not caring about anything, just for survival and a better survival.

On many paths, survival is not the goal.

For example, in martial arts, in order to maintain the heart of martial arts, one will punch the stronger one, even if he dies.

But the way of Tianyan will never have such an ending. The so-called Tianyan is to adapt and adapt to everything. It doesn't matter whether it is to adapt as food or to adapt as a predator.

Pearl clams are not smart, and they will never notice anything wrong throughout their lives. What will they think if their cultivation improves, their souls gradually become stronger, their thinking organs gradually transfer from the brain to their souls, and their consciousness and thinking ability begin to be taken over by their souls. ?

They follow the biological instinct and continue to lie there and let go. The illusion must be wonderful anyway, but for them, living may not be as wonderful as the illusion.

Or... how about using your subjective initiative?

Li Qi suddenly had an inspiration. The way of heaven... is it a passive evolution, or is it an active struggle?

He felt that there must be only a few pearl clams who would resist, because reality was much crueler than fantasy.

If we follow this line of thinking, then the subjective consciousness is here——

Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly shook his head.

He recalled that he was not here to find a way to break through, he was here to track down clues.

Enlightenment, or the opportunity to find a breakthrough in a certain method, requires firm grasp for other people, and may only happen once in a lifetime, but for Li Qi, he is used to it.

This kind of thing was somewhat common to him, not unusual.

It's just that this time it's about the way of heaven, so he briefly wrote down the inspiration, and then forgot about it.

You can think about this kind of thing later.

Let’s get down to business first.

But the seventh-grade shark man found that the terrifying demonic path in front of him suddenly began to be in a daze, and then after a few seconds he shook his head, as if he was fighting against some distracting thoughts?

It is said that the body of a demon practitioner is full of demonic thoughts, which are always backlashed. Could it be that he is being backlashed at this moment? ?

The shark was overjoyed and even thought of running away.

Unfortunately, it only took a few seconds for the devil to drive away the distracting thoughts and regain clarity in his eyes.

This made him disappointed, but he was even more afraid to leave casually.

"What did that dragon ask you to do?" Li Qi asked softly, looking very kind.

"The gentleman just asked us to keep an eye on you. Apart from that, we don't know anything. You should be able to see that there is no reason for hostility between you and me. Besides... although the Bai Zhu family is not your opponent here, But after all, we are local snakes along the East China Sea, and we also have a fourth-grade ancestor in our family, so please pay attention to the impact."

"Furthermore, although your Excellency is strong, you are only a seventh-grade person. For someone like me who is unlearned and has no skills, a seventh-grade person who relies on pearls to lift up can naturally be superior. But as a dragon about to escape, the gentleman is a dignified fifth-grade person, but It's not something you or I can offend..."

The seventh-grade shark said after careful consideration.

Since you can't beat it, you have to try it and see if you can scare it.

Li Qi shook his head: "As a fifth-grade man, if he dares to attack me, he is seeking death. If we, the disciples of the sect, are killed by someone of the same grade, then we are to blame. But if we are killed by a high-grade person, then But if you bully a small person, someone will come to take revenge."

Hearing this, the shark's heart temporarily stopped.

Okay, now you don’t have to worry about your life. This is not a fool, he still knows the rules.

In a place like Tianxia, ​​there is a difference between those with background and those without background.

Bullying the younger by the older can easily lead to retaliation. No one wants their younger generation to be beaten to death before they have grown up. If it is a fight between peers, it will be fine if their skills are not as good as others. If a high-ranking person kills a low-ranking person , then you should prepare to face the elders of other sects.

What's more, there might be such a thing as a guardian.

Of course, if the junior is provocative and has no eyes, then punishing him will be fine.

But now...it was obvious that Jiaolong made the first move and arranged a wave of attacks for Li Qi, so Li Qi was not afraid that he would take the initiative.

The seventh-grade shark man also felt relieved, knowing that the other party would not kill him so easily, so he said: "In that case... Your Excellency, have you ever heard of the name 'gentleman'?"

"I came here to ask you this, didn't I? Tell me, it was all forced by me and has nothing to do with you." Li Qi found a place to sit down and observed the process of the pearl clam being ripened by the dragon's energy. .

Learning is very important, just like arguing between two sides. If you really refute the other party with your own understanding, you will definitely be able to create corresponding techniques to defeat the other party based on this understanding, so daily accumulation is very important.

Since all creatures will choose this way, is there a possibility that this method can be used on the witchcraft silkworm?

If Dragon Qi can mutate and induce the evolution of Witch Silkworms, even if the lifespan of a nest of Witch Silkworms is reduced from more than ten years to half a year, or even two to three months, it can make the Witch Silkworms a lot stronger, right?

If it breaks through from the seventh level to the sixth level, it means that Li Qi's Witch Weapon Silkworm has successfully overcome the Witch Weapon Silkworm's sixth level magic weapon mass production plan.

Dragon energy is of no use to the magic weapon assembly line, because the magic weapon assembly line is a dead thing.

But the wizard silkworm is a living insect, it just has no brain and soul...

Li Qi was meditating while listening to the shark talk.

The seventh-grade shark was also much more relaxed, so he said, "Thank you for your understanding, so I'll tell you the truth..."

"Gentleman, his name is Tianhong Jun, and he is known as Junzi. His temper is violent and his reputation is broadcast in the nearby waters. As a fifth-grade dragon, he is about to go into trouble——"

The seventh-level shark began to tell Li Qi the information about the dragon.

It turns out that this dragon's name is Tianhongjun, and he is a household name around Dongyu Island.

There is no other reason for this. Mr. Tianhong does things rudely and only acts on his heart without thinking too much, so he often does things that only a fool would do.

These things include some thankless things, such as digging waterways. Although it will be beneficial in the future, the current construction has hindered the movement of Dongyu. Dongyu cannot create sea currents through movement, and the ocean currents on the seabed have changed because of this. There are complaints. No one is happy.

Another example is that for a snail girl who did not want to be a slave and was forced to run away, he personally opened the sea. Except for the snail girl, everyone complained that he was making a fuss. With his identity, he could just say something, so why bother to do it himself? The sea was turbulent and the giant whales near Dongyu were stunned.

Another time, one of his friends encountered a natural disaster of decay when the high-grade world collapsed outside the territory. Most of his magic weapon was lost just by running for his life. He was also being chased by his enemies, so he had no choice but to take refuge with him.

Not only did he take the initiative to spread his wealth, spending huge sums of money to help his friends make a comeback, but he also worked with them to destroy their enemies without asking for anything in return.

but……

There were also times when he would eat the innocent gong and drum troupe on the other side of the street in front of all living beings just because he was awakened from sleep.

It once happened that when he had a happy event, he held a banquet and had a banquet with others, and a funeral procession passed by his door, so he buried all the people in the funeral procession together.

It's hard to tell what kind of temperament he has. Sometimes he is charitable and generous, and he has a feeling that he will come back after all his money has been spent. But if he is angered, he will kill people without mercy. He is extremely reckless and does everything he wants. Depends on mood.

Because of this temperament, some people gave him a title, "gentleman", and they didn't know whether it was to ridicule or praise him.

But he liked this very much and called himself a gentleman when he met others. Therefore, he was also called "gentleman" by many people.

Li Qi listened to this Tianhong Jun's introduction.

Um……

In other words, this is a person who, at least on the surface, seems to be very straightforward. He can express emotions and emotions, and he will express whatever he has. Whether it is anger or good intentions, he is very straightforward.

So...will he target someone he doesn't know?

The probability is very low, right?

In other words, is there someone behind the scenes?

The person who ordered this was fishing.

He must be fishing, this is a bait, the people on the road, the spiritual path situation, and the evolution method of the magic weapon silkworm in front of him.

Who has a grudge against me?

In other words, it's not hatred, but a real dragon?

This is exciting.

Li Qi's goal in coming to the East China Sea was to catch a real dragon.

I dropped a big order, and I feel like I’m not having a good New Year.
