Myriad Paths

There are not only those weak low-grade worlds outside the territory. In fact, the real controllers outside the territory are not even Tianxia, ​​but those powerful high-grade worlds.

The first-grade world, the second-grade world, or part of the third-grade world, or some extraterritorial wonders, such as the revitalized ruins or the demon star, are the real rulers of the extraterrestrial, and even the world will choose to cooperate with them.

They are "fellow travelers" in the world, rather than qualifications. They have a unique way, which is completely different from the world's customs, and they have enough strength to maintain their independence.

There are a small number of first-rate worlds that are even stronger than the second-rate sects such as martial arts, rationality, and ghosts, and are second only to the Nine Worlds.

These existences are the true magnificence of many scenery outside the territory.

The extraterritorial world that Li Qi has come into contact with so far is actually weeds everywhere outside the extraterritorial area. But this time, he is going to get in touch with the real extraterritorial bosses, those strange controllers.

As for the destination, it is his future battlefield, the starry sky.

The reason for going there was also very good. Li Qi even reported public funds and wanted to receive the messenger's talisman because he was a blessing person.

Generally speaking, in the battle between witchcraft and humanity, in these worlds, one has to choose sides. Neutrality and wall-riding are completely courting death. Witchcraft will not attack the neutral world, but humanity will not tolerate those who sit idly by. world.

Then, they must join one side, either humane or witchcraft.

This time I went to my own battlefield to contact and talk to those worlds as an envoy of the witchcraft, in order to gain their trust.

The great witch Yunfang had done something similar, and Li Qi learned from it.

This kind of proposal would obviously not be rejected, so Li Qi quickly got permission and got the talisman representing the identity of the envoy.

Of course, this 'soon' is actually three years later.

Three years later, Li Qi took the talisman from the pedestrian's hand.

This is a golden talisman engraved with the unique atmosphere of Wushen Mountain. It is similar to an arched token and reads:

"In the Tang Dynasty, deceit and hypocrisy were increasing day by day, and violence and aggression were increasing. Therefore, in order to control the situation at the right time, he sent envoys as a defense. In order to make the evil people know fear and the good people to be at peace, he sent the envoy Li Qi to carry out his duties and use his territories to defend them. Its sacrifices are for the people of Baozi.”

What is written above is Li Qi’s envoy certificate and responsibilities.

There is a saying in "Zhang Jie": "The palm guards the country's festivals and distinguishes its uses. Those who guard the country use jade festivals, those who guard the capital use horn festivals. The envoys of ordinary countries use tiger festivals, the land countries use human festivals, and the zeal countries use dragon festivals. , are all made of gold, supplemented by heroic figures, gates with talisman festivals, goods bribes with seal festivals, roads with banner festivals, all with anti-corruption. Anyone who has access to the world must have festivals, supplemented by propagation, without festivals. However, there are a few shortcomings.”

The so-called 'talisman' is actually a carrier that records Li Qi's identity. It is used to prove his identity as the envoy of Wushen Mountain. At the same time, this object is also a special magic weapon that can be used to travel outside the territory. After activation, it can use heaven's power ten thousand times. Extremely capable of traveling outside the realm at extremely fast speeds.

This kind of thing is theoretically ranked third grade, but actually it is fourth grade.

Because all the talismans are one and the same, the talisman on the main body is a third-grade talisman. On the day when the messenger needs to travel, a fourth-grade talisman will be separated from the main body. The message on it needs to be engraved by a great master to take effect. Once used, it is called "the messenger receives the order, carries it on his journey, returns, and holds it to restore the order."

Li Qi takes this piece in his hand and takes it back. After he comes back, he will destroy this piece and return to the original body, which means that the mission has been completed. After returning, he will take it and recast it into the next talisman. Used by other messengers, this can prevent the talismans from being fake.

The former great witch Mi Xin took Li Qi and other children to the Tang Dynasty with a piece of such a talisman in his arms. With this, he had an identity and confidence. Even in a war zone or even being caught by humanity, they There is nothing I can do to you but to let you go, because the talisman has immunity.

Of course, humanity can deny this exemption, but at that time Wu Shenshan will not recognize the ‘injunction’ of humanity.

This can be regarded as an agreement between the nine places in the world.

Oh, no, there are eight places in the world.

Except for the Demonic Path, the Demonic Path does not have any envoys. Everyone works independently and plays as they please. They do not set up any envoys, nor do they recognize any envoys.

Let alone envoys, the Demonic Path is not even a large organization. Every practitioner of the Demonic Path feels that he is unique. Even if there are small organizations, they are basically small circles where skills are gathered.

For example, the celestial nymphs and desire demons of the celestial demon lineage will set up business offices in groups to comfort travelers who are tired of practicing, or to save practitioners who are plagued by inner demons.

It's also like the death demon lineage, where a bunch of people will gather in groups and massacre the outside world. After all, the more deaths there are, the more stable their Dao foundation will be and the higher their cultivation level will be.

But these are all personal behaviors and have nothing to do with the magic as a whole. The large number of individual cases cannot represent all magic practitioners.

The above sentence is not a joke, it is serious.

The demonic path is purely self-centered. Except for the death demon, the other demonic paths are really mixed in terms of good and bad. Just like the demon prince, they are extremely self-centered, and good and evil completely depend on their own cultivation.

The word ‘devil’ does not mean evil.

In fact, it means ‘magic’ or ‘obsession’ or ‘madness’. Only when used as a proper noun, does it specifically refer to the four ‘four demons’.

The devil is not evil, although most of the practitioners of the devil are not good people... After all, they do not cultivate the mind at all, because they themselves are the "heart", and the ultimate solipsism represents the absolutely stable Tao mind.

If you don't cultivate your mind, it's normal for you to do bad things. That's why the devil is notorious in terms of moral disputes and behavior, and everyone calls for beatings.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Taoism. The four demons, no matter which lineage of Taoism, are built on others. The demon of heaven destroys the essence, the demon of five aggregates destroys the mind, the demon of worry destroys the heart of Taoism, and the demon of death, let alone the demon of death, will kill you.

It’s rare for an orthodoxy like the Demonic Dao to have disputes with all practitioners.

To be honest, if the demons were not powerful enough to fight, they would have been destroyed long ago, but even so, the demon is still sealed by the Colorless Realm, and the dead demon is nowhere to be found, so it doesn't cause much trouble now, otherwise it might really happen. Beaten to death.

All in all, there is this delicate balance between the nine places in the world, so Li Qi will be fine as long as he doesn't encounter anything particularly unlucky outside the territory while holding the talisman.

Of course, if you kill him and don't let others know about it, it means you haven't killed him. After all...it's not just witches who can conceal cause and effect, and sometimes there are accidents, right?

But no matter what, it is always a guarantee. With this, he has the courage to wander outside the territory.

Not long after getting the talisman, Empress Luofu was awakened two years later.

She herself was in a coma due to excessive injuries. After Wushen Mountain used massive resources to heal her injuries, she would naturally wake up.

When Empress Luofu woke up, Li Qi did not dare to go directly.

Because her awakening was a big event and many people came to visit.

There are two great people present on the human side, both of them are third-grade noble ministers who are also third-grade officials.

On the other side of the real dragon, the Dragon King of the West Sea appeared to congratulate him, but his attitude was subtle.

The Southern Ghost Emperor Du Ziren appeared, gave Empress Luofu a gift, and then left in a hurry.

Zhu Fengdan was also present. According to him, this was 'meeting the in-laws'.

It is said that Empress Luofu was stunned by these words. It took her a long time to accept that her cabbage was stolen from someone else, and the other party's master was still Zhu Fengdan.

Zhu Fengdan's reputation is well known all over the world. It does take some time to get used to it. This is not her fault.

Naturally, Li Qi had no choice but to interfere in this kind of big boss meeting. Although in the eyes of many people, he was already a very tall person, but he knew his own business. He could only be regarded as a middle-level person at most. Even a store manager or department manager.

As for the third grade, they are members of the board of directors and can vote to decide the path forward for the orthodoxy.

After waiting until many of the third-grade visitors who came to visit left one by one, Li Qi tidied up his clothes, changed into clean and decent clothes, walked to the gate of Luofu Mountain's cave, and knocked on the gate.

The sky gate opened and he was able to enter. The skylarks around him had changed. However, they still knew Li Qi and greeted his uncle one after another.

Li Qi and the skylarks chatted for a while and then continued walking inside.

After a while, I saw Yang Ning and Granny Mei.

The two of them seemed to be responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests. After seeing Li Qi coming, Yang Ning said a few words to Granny Mei, then walked up to Li Qi and said, "My Majesty knew you were coming, and she said, if you Come on, just go directly to the cave at the top of the mountain."

"Understood." Li Qi made a gesture of understanding.

"Don't be rude, and... forget it, you have a sense of proportion." Yang Ning wanted to say something else, but thought that Li Qi might not be aggressive enough in his work, but he was definitely reliable and would not make any big mistakes, so he stopped talking and signaled to Li Qi Kai went up directly.

After Li Qi also said hello to Granny Mei, he walked straight towards the mountain.

On the way, Li Qi could see that Luofu Mountain was much more vibrant.

The awakening of Empress Luofu also represents the return of the backbone. It can be seen that many practitioners in Luofu Mountain have regained their strength and are no longer afraid.

With the presence of the Luofu Empress, Luofu Mountain has really taken root. It is no longer a fluttering grass, but a big tree.

Good thing, good thing, after Rabbit's retreat is over, she will come back, right?

Until then, it's up to you.

Looking at the prosperous Luofu Mountain, Li Qi climbed all the way up the ladder to heaven and entered the cave.

As soon as I entered, I felt a... strong pressure.

It wasn't intentional, it was probably because there were so many third-grade people gathering here, and they naturally felt oppressed.

From this kind of coercion, you can feel that the conversation at that time... was probably not very friendly.

After all, Humanity and True Dragons were here, and even Zhu Fengdan was here, but they couldn't be friendly. The reason why they didn't start a fight was probably because this was the hinterland of Wushen Mountain, and there would be no good results if they did it.

Li Qi remained calm amid these pressures. After all, he was used to facing high-ranking beings. However, if it were someone who had never experienced this, walking would probably be a problem at this time.

It's like walking on a glass plank road in a scenic spot. They know in their hearts that these pressures are harmless, but some people are just afraid and their legs feel weak when they walk on it, because the message conveyed by the glass plank road is 'danger'. Just noticing it This information is enough to make people weak in the knees.

But Li Qi is the kind of person who works at high altitudes every day, not to mention the glass plank road. He climbs high-voltage electricity towers every day, and the kind is still powered on, so he is as if nothing happened at the moment.

The furnishings around the cave are nothing special. They are all ordinary items without decoration. I guess Empress Luofu doesn't like decoration very much.

After Li Qi walked for a while, he felt a breeze blowing on his face. The remaining pressure around him was blown away by this breeze, and the oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

Seeing such a situation, Li Qi immediately stopped, raised his hands and said, "Li Qi, I have met the empress."

"No need to be polite, good boy, come forward." A soft voice came from above.

Very kind and kind, but with a vague ethereal feeling, as if... the other party was far away from me, and the voice echoed for a long time before finally coming through.

Li Qi stepped forward and suddenly felt that there seemed to be many more Taoist charms around him.

These Dao rhymes were so thin that they were almost undetectable and passed by Li Qi's body.

Li Qi subconsciously avoided it. After all, unfamiliar Taoist rhymes were very dangerous. It would be bad if these Taoist rhymes interfered with the movement of the Dao inside the human body's small world.

"Hey, can you see these Taoist charms?" At this time, a voice came from Li Qi's ear.

He immediately lowered his head and said: "The boy was contaminated by the demonic blood of the five aggregates. Later he got rid of it and gained the ability to directly observe the spirit. It should be related to the spiritual path."

"That's right, it's just your tone...have you seen me?" the voice asked again.

The image of being pulled into the world of desire suddenly appeared in Li Qi's mind.

Then, in the next moment, the scene around him changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he was sitting opposite Empress Luofu.

Empress Luofu sat opposite him, exactly like the one created by the demon.

Li Qi took a deep breath: "I can't say that, I've seen it before."

But I heard Empress Luofu say: "I also remembered, well... it was indeed the first time we met at that time. At that time, you could already figure out the affairs of time and space. It was amazing, and only such a short time had passed. Rank six, Luofu Mountain is grateful for your help during my absence."

Hearing this, Li Qi raised his head in astonishment: "Your Majesty, do you remember?"

Does she remember? How can it be! The Luofu Empress was obviously simulated by a demon. Although it was exactly the same, it was ultimately a fake. How could the Luofu Empress remember it? This unscientific!

That was the Luofu Empress simulated by the Desire Realm. They were two people who were exactly the same but different in nature. The real Luofu Empress was still sleeping, and the fake one was a clay figurine made by the devil.

A real person would have the memory of a clay figurine?

But at this time——

"Of course I remember, the demon said that it is true, that is true. Although it is not me, but...it is actually me." Empress Luofu said.

Hearing this, Li Qi's hair stood on end and his heart stopped for a beat.

He got it!
