Myriad Paths

This news cheered up Li Qi.

This is really interesting.

In the Zhendao Sect, a person is about to ascend.

In other words, one person was promoted to the seventh level in five hundred years.

how to say……

I can't say it's fast, but for an orthodox system that started from scratch, this is a very, very good result. Although there are references for their path, they actually have to explore many places on their own.

For more than five hundred years, for practitioners of about nine grades, that is, about five generations, has it been possible for five generations to figure out the method of immortality?

This is really worth encouraging.

After learning the news, Li Qi became more motivated to go on the road. He was a little curious about how the Zhendao Sect did it.

Along the way, he came to the city under the mountain gate of Zhendao Sect.

This city was completely built on the Zhendao Sect.

Li Qi only needs to glance at the sky from top to bottom to detect the operation of the entire city. This is a city that exists entirely to supply the Zhendao Sect.

The city was built around the mountain gate of the Zhendao Sect. A large amount of materials and labor were stored here, most of which had to be sent up the mountain.

Five hundred years is enough time for the Zhendao Sect to develop into a behemoth. For ordinary people, five hundred years is enough to change the world, from the feudal era to the modern industrial society.

However, the Zhendao Sect did not develop into an industrial society. After Li Qi paid the head tax for entering the city, he looked around.

He heard and argued.

A lot of arguments, even among the peddlers, or in the teahouses and restaurants, are filled with a lot of arguments.

Their arguments were interesting, such as whether the sun was closer to the ground in the morning or at night.

When discussing worshiping mountain gods, is it a matter of tribute or sincerity?

Discuss whether the world is finite? Or is it infinite?

Discuss where the center of the world is, the earth we are on or the stars seen in the sky?

The titles of these questions were so interesting that Li Qi would occasionally stop and listen because he was very curious. These mortals did not even have supernatural powers and could only practice basic skills. They were not even as good as Li Qi during the tracker period.

How should such a person talk about the nature of the world, the center of the universe, and the position of the sun? really interesting.

However, after standing nearby and listening for a while, he gently nodded, smiled and shook his head, and then left.

Most of these discussions have no real evidence, and the arguments are almost all based on conjecture. The arguments are completely arbitrary, and the topic will even change to other places during the conversation, and the two parties will even start to quarrel or even use violence.

For example, when discussing the topic of whether the universe is infinite, the argument of those who support infinity is to shout to the horizon, but there is no echo, to prove that the universe is infinite. The sound can never reach the boundary, so it cannot rebound, so There will be no echo, and this received a lot of applause.

To be honest, this idea is very interesting, but it is too crude.

However, Li Qi still found it interesting.

Because these are traffickers who have not read many books, they will not gain anything by talking about this, and to be honest, many of their ideas are actually the best arguments they can think of in their poor minds.

They are really thinking seriously, even though this kind of thinking is ridiculously crude.

But the conclusion is funny, but the atmosphere of this kind of thinking is worthy of respect and should not be ridiculed. As long as you complete the knowledge and have sufficient knowledge as support, then such thinking will definitely give birth to sparks.

Thinking is fire, knowledge is firewood.

With the support of firewood, the flame can burn brightly, illuminate the dark world, and point out the way forward.

This gave Li Qi some expectations for the atmosphere in the Zhendao Sect.

This is true for ordinary people, but what about practitioners?

Therefore, Li Qi quickly passed through these living areas and headed towards the gathering place of young practitioners.

Yes, a gathering place for young practitioners can even be called a ‘school’.

Based on the superficial thoughts and maps he scanned around him, Li Qi could confirm that the Zhendao Sect has been training young people. If they pass the assessment, they can join the Zhendao Sect and become a formal disciple.

There are many, many such gathering places.

Li Qi speculated that it was precisely because of the existence of these schools that these students brought their speculative thoughts outside the Zhendao Sect, so the city was filled with such a strong spirit of debate.

Li Qi, full of expectations, came to the school representing young practitioners.

He didn't sign up, but just blended in with nature and went in quietly.

There are many young people here, most of them are children in their teens, that is, middle school or high school age. Most of them have some cultivation experience and come from different backgrounds. They are the children of big monks, children of wealthy families, and some are alone. A mud-legged man who just climbed out of the mountain village with his talent.

But they all have one characteristic, that is, they are all young and vigorous.

Li Qi discovered that the threshold for admission to these schools was actually quite high. Those who could come here were all geniuses of the younger generation. After all, this was considered a youth training place for a large sect.

The speculative atmosphere of the mortals outside also comes from here. Because of this, the speculative atmosphere here is even stronger. After entering, Li Qi found a large number of students, who were constantly debating with others after practicing.

only……

Li Qi discovered something.

As practitioners, the content of their speculations is almost exactly the same as that of ordinary people outside, with just some added content and empirical evidence of practice.

If you think about it, this makes sense.

If this is the origin of the speculative culture, then people outside naturally learn from it here, and the topics must be copied directly from here. After all, this place is not far from the outside, and it is normal for traffickers and lackeys to imitate what they have learned.

However, it is very good for traffickers and lackeys to talk about this kind of topic, but these practitioners and students only talk about this kind of thing?

If they talk about how to organize their cultivation, how to specifically arrange their practice time to achieve the best results, and if they statistically summarize the efficiency of different spells, they will be ridiculed as talking about worldly things and ridiculed by their friends.

Therefore, what they like to talk about are things like the truth of the universe.

This is not speculation, this is metaphysics.

It’s not that the truth of the universe cannot be discussed. On the contrary, people should explore the truth more, but the premise is that it must be combined with practice.

Speculation without practice is meaningless.

Mathematical formulas are just nonsense on paper if they are not combined with engineering.

If philosophical thought does not guide social production and the construction of morality, then philosophy will be just a spark in one's own mind, and no one can see it.

This made Li Qizhi shake his head. Who could be cultivated with this kind of culture? Aren't they all a bunch of trash?

However, one thing that reluctantly made Li Qineng relax was that these students were not bad at least in terms of cultivation. Although they liked to talk about mysteries, they did not do anything but talk about mysteries.

"Maybe they are all students, so they can't practice it, right?" Li Qi thought, and felt that it was still very possible.

With this in mind, he simply found a student who looked more withdrawn and sat next to him.

This is a young man. Everyone else is talking about mysteries and the mysteries of the universe, but he is here idly pondering the most basic route of practicing martial arts.

But the basic exercise route is not simple. It is even more difficult than those cosmic mysteries just now.

The more basic it is, the stronger it will be, especially since the early exercises of Zhen Dao Sect were actually given by Li Qi. It was the practice guide that Li Qi originally gave to Ju Ye. These foundations were formulated by the Taoist master himself. .

As trees grow, it is easy to prune branches, leaves and flowers, but have you ever seen pruning the roots?

Of course, you can forcefully prune it, but that will only cause the tree to grow crookedly. In the future, it will be up to you how far you can go without the majestic Taoist foundation laid by the Taoist master.

So, in essence, he and his classmates who talked about Xuan Dao were doing the same thing.

But the motivation is obviously different.

Therefore, Li Qi looked curiously at how he was going to modify it.

After watching for a while, the young man became dejected and chose to give up.

Nothing can be changed.

This set of foundations is too perfect, and any slight change will lead to poor results. It seems that this set is already the optimal solution at the moment.

"Classmate, what are you studying? Why don't you discuss it with others?" Li Qi suddenly appeared and asked the young man.

The young man was startled, put away the pen and paper in his hand, looked at Li Qi sharply, with a puzzled expression, and asked, "What does it have to do with you? Go, go, don't disturb me."

Li Qi, who was driven away by the boy, smiled: "I'm just curious. Everyone is so gregarious, why are my classmates alone?"

In fact, he already knew why he was alone.

This reaction to others greeting him was obviously the reason why he was alone.

"What other people are talking about has no use in practice, so what's the use? I took the exam with all my strength to practice, not to talk to them about something they don't have. Okay, get out of the way, I'm leaving. ." The other party carefully put away the pen and paper, and left in a timid manner.

This made Li Qi a little funny, but he also got the boy's name from superficial thinking.

Changyou.

Li Qi had a very strange feeling.

Chang You has a feeling...from the outside. He doesn't look like he grew up in Zhen Dao Sect, but like those barbaric immortal natives outside who don't care about pursuing the Tao, but just want to practice and ascend.

However, this kind of person seems so down-to-earth in this city of Zhendao Sect.

Yes, down to earth.

In the more than five hundred years of development of the Zhendao Sect, they have developed this kind of culture of casual conversation. The powerful sect has given them a light confidence. The Zhendao Sect... is already too strong.

If Zhudao means opening your eyes and looking at the sky, then the young students of the Zhendao Sect have raised their heads too high and often talk about the origin of the universe. They are so high that they can't see the road under their feet at all.

However, people in the immortal world pay too much attention to reality. They pay attention to the fact that they can only clearly see one or two steps under their feet, crawling like mice, but they can never raise their heads to see the depth and vastness of the sky.

After the students finished reading, Li Qi paid attention to the young man and then started to go up the mountain.

After all, he originally came to see the Zhen Dao Sect's ascension ceremony.

So, Li Qi blended into nature and quietly went up the mountain.

Arriving at the mountain gate of Zhen Dao Sect, Li Qi felt as soon as he came up that they were actually divided into several sects and divided into different gates.

It’s interesting. Will the world’s set of thoughts be destined to cause divisions in the Taoist lineage and then lead to Taoist strife?

With this thought, Li Qi came to the mountain gate.

It took him five days to visit all the mountain gates.

It is indeed a Taoist struggle, but it is an extremely primitive Taoist struggle. They have not yet reached the point where their interpretations of the world are completely different from each other, so that they will fight to the death.

interesting.

Li Qi observed all this, and then climbed to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain gate of the Zhendao Sect, where Wanling Zhongxiu is located, a Supreme Patriarch of the Zhendao Sect is in retreat here.

This is the one who is going to ascend.

Of course, the ancestor who is said to be the Taishang is actually only at the pinnacle of the eighth level. He is only one step away from the seventh level. Everything is ready. Just push the door lightly and you can step into the seventh level. Everything goes as planned.

At this point, in the world, it must have been a breakthrough long ago. After all, a breakthrough is a breakthrough, and no one will care about it. Even your relatives and friends will come over to congratulate you, hold a banquet for you, celebrate and so on.

If you are in Wushen Mountain, you will receive gifts if you break through the seventh level.

In the humane zone, if you break through the seventh level, the court will issue you a plaque, because when you reach the seventh level, you can finally join the ranks of immortals and can work for the court's many long-term plans.

None of them prevent others from advancing.

However, Xiantian, as a first-class world, is completely different.

If they want to advance to the seventh level, they need to go through a heavenly tribulation.

Li Qi just wanted to come here today to see what was going on with this calamity.

It is said that this heavenly tribulation has three levels: thunder tribulation, mortal tribulation, and original tribulation. Only one person in ten can successfully overcome the tribulation.

Seventh-grade talents are very valuable, and they actually have to kill 90% of them before they can ascend...

This is really weird.

Speaking of this, Li Qi also went to observe the Supreme Patriarch of the Zhendao Sect.

There was a glimmer of expectation in his heart, expecting the other person to be Juye.

After all, if Chrysanthemum Leaf is good at maintaining health, has a little bit of good natural quality, and maybe assists with some evil methods, it is not impossible to live to five hundred years.

This may give you the feeling of meeting an old friend.

However, when Li Qi went to see it, it was a pity that it was not.

I'm afraid Juye is dead.

I don’t know what happened to Juye and senior sister in the end.

Perhaps like what most people have experienced, it has been buried in history and no one will remember what happened to them.

After all, there are only a few people who can leave their names in history.

Li Qi sighed and then sat down.

Waiting for disaster.

But, waiting and waiting, suddenly, Li Qi looked up at the sky.

There was a communication spell that descended from the sky.

It is the innate reality.

Uh-huh, someone saw it.

I ordered it three days after it dropped. I will update it in two days. Brothers, please help me recommend books and vote for me monthly. It’s the end of the month anyway. If you don’t vote, it will be lost.
