Myriad Paths

Seven days later, the banquet was held as normal.

Eight hours before that, Lingxiao came back first.

When she came back, she was in a very bad state, listless and tired.

"Senior...I'm back." She patted her face, managed to cheer up, and bowed to Li Qi.

This etiquette was very rude, not only because she was tired, but also because she knew that this senior in the Tongtian realm would not even look at her.

However, to her expectation, Li Qi actually raised his head at this time.

After raising his head, he said: "You look very bad. The invitation is not going well?"

With that said, Li Qi raised his hand, and a stream of yang energy emerged from his fingers, and then penetrated into Lingxiao's body, making her immediately feel shocked and refreshed.

Li Qineng could clearly see that her yang energy was thin and her energy was not good, so he just added something. It was very simple.

The health of the small world of the human body depends on the balance of qi. For people like Wu Jin who make the small world of the human body an open system, they only need to absorb the qi from the outside world to maintain the balance in the body, so they will basically not get sick. , and no fatigue, except mental fatigue.

But Lingxiao was obviously not only mentally tired, she was also physically tired.

If Li Qi didn't know the reason, he might have thought that this person was going mining.

Lingxiao felt that her body was gradually recovering, and a warmth arose in her heart, but more doubts enveloped her, so she did not suppress it, but said directly: "It went very well...but I don't I understand, senior, why did you make the invitation anonymous?"

Yes, Li Qiqi’s invitation was anonymous.

There are three thousand in total. Anyone who gets it can go to the upper banquet. Those who can't get it can go outside to eat on the flowing table.

"Why? Isn't this very convenient? I don't know who or how many people want to come. Isn't it difficult for me to write names one by one? So I just send out anonymous invitations and enter by invitation. Anyway, it's three thousand There are so many, so I guess there won’t be any missing ones, right? I think there are plenty of them,” Li Qi said.

However, Lingxiao shook her head vigorously: "No, that's not the case. Senior, you must know this situation!"

Lingxiao didn't believe that Li Qizhen had this idea!

Because she knew very well that Li Qi once said, 'The amount of resources is not important, but the percentage of resources is important. ’

The higher the percentage, the more one can become the main body in the group. This has nothing to do with the total amount of resources.

Just like Li Qiqi’s invitation.

Three thousand invitations are indeed more than enough, enough for everyone.

But if everyone comes, what’s the difference between that and no one coming?

Therefore, in the face of three thousand anonymous invitations, a conspiracy melee broke out in the city within seven days.

It’s really hard to describe the level of chaos these seven days had.

Conspiracy, betrayal, purge.

Espionage, loyalty, assassination.

There was an undercurrent surging in the city, and everyone had their own agenda. Countless people racked their brains for an invitation, either through robbery, deception, or seduction, and all kinds of shady tricks. In seven days, in the city, Thousands of suspense dramas have been staged, and the scripts in each one are extremely exciting.

Even Lingxiao was so exhausted physically and mentally after seven days like this that she looked like a dead person when she arrived, and she had to be refreshed by Li Qi.

Ling Xiao absolutely didn't believe that Li Qi didn't know these things happened.

She even felt that Li Qi must be behind all this. The reason why he sent out the invitations was to watch such chaos happen.

But Li Qi just shook his head and said: "My motive is really just too lazy to write a name. As for what happened, it was your choice."

"You know what will happen..." Lingxiao's face wrinkled.

"Of course I know." Li Qi nodded calmly: "But to be honest, I know more."

Li Qi stood up and patted Lingxiao on the shoulder: "You have many choices. You can choose to do what we did a few days ago, or you can choose to share it equally, or you can choose to bid. There are many choices, each of which I know how to choose.”

"I know many, many future possibilities, but the only thing I don't know is which future you will choose."

"So, I said I don't know. It doesn't mean that I don't know what will happen, but it means that I don't know what you will choose. I have not interfered with your choice. It is your choice to become like this, and I don't care."

After Li Qi finished speaking, he touched the other party's head: "Have a good rest and don't think too much. This matter is their own choice and has nothing to do with you or me."

Zhizhu once told Li Qi that the future is unpredictable. Once the future can be predicted, the future becomes the present.

True prediction of the future does not exist.

So Li Qi didn't know what would happen in the future.

He knows every road in the future, just like a crossroads. Standing high in the sky, Li Qi can clearly see every detail of the crossroads.

Choice must be rooted in reality. As long as you understand reality, you can see people's choices clearly, just like seeing where the crossroads leads.

However, when a person stands in the middle of the crossroads, Li Qi doesn't know where he will go.

He really didn't know how to choose these people.

Just like it is now.

Li Qi sent out the invitation, which just put a crossroads in front of these people.

No matter how they choose, Li Qi knows the subsequent development.

Only at the moment of choice, Li Qi was unsure.

Before they make a choice, the four possible directions at the intersection are in a superposition state, and the superposition state cannot be explained.

In this superposition state, there is also a difference in probability. The probability of going to the left may be greater than that of the right. Observing and confirming this probability is the original meaning of 'divination'.

Faced with Li Qi's answer, Ling Xiao was speechless.

She couldn't find a way to argue with that.

"Don't blame me for not stopping you. There is essentially no difference between me stopping you from doing bad things and forcing you to do bad things. You also know that I am just observing and I don't actually want to interfere with you." Li Qi said.

"Yes...it's just, senior, did you get what you wanted?" Lingxiao looked at Li Qi, feeling a sense of panic in her heart.

The man in front of me——

It's so alienated and so lofty that it makes people feel a sense of fear.

It’s like facing——

God.

God pays attention to the world, but never interferes.

But what Lingxiao didn't know was that Li Qi really could become God's will.

Moreover, Taoism has a saying to describe this.

Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs, weak and unyielding, moving and getting more and more out, talking too much and counting too much, it is better to stay in the middle.

It's better to stay in the middle.

When Li Qi began to try to imitate God's will, his level of thinking would naturally rise to the level of God's will.

But for mortals, this way of thinking is a bit too cruel.

But...this is Li Qi.

The influence of Shen Shuibi, some thoughts from Taoism in his body, and his own witchcraft have all shaped him. The more he knows, the more he can understand the importance of this silent attitude.

Living beings cannot achieve true happiness before they truly understand their own way, so imposing happiness on them is a form of coercion.

Facing Lingxiao's question, Li Qi smiled and said, "You can't give me what I want."

"However, I can spell it out bit by bit myself."

Hearing this, Lingxiao let out a long sigh: "In other words... Senior, do you want to use our performance to piece together something great that we ourselves have never imagined?"

"You are quite poetic, but that's about it. I will find the answer I want from you...at least some fragments of the answer." Li Qi smiled.

"I understand, so...can I continue to draw portraits of my seniors?" Lingxiao asked again at this time.

"Of course, I was the one who entrusted you with it, so I'll trouble you." Li Qi nodded slightly.

The conversation with Lingxiao ended, and there was silence between the two again. Li Qi continued to do his own thing.

Eight hours passed after that.

The banquet was held as scheduled. As for the location, it was in the wilderness in the suburbs. There were still mines nearby. It was smoky and the environment was quite poor.

Ling Xiao led more than 3,000 people, lined up one by one, each using their own methods, and arrived at this wilderness in the most glorious way.

Someone was riding a mount, and the huge spiritual beast was waving its tail and making a loud noise.

Someone came in a sedan, and there were a lot of servants under the carriage. Everyone had invitations, as if they were free of charge.

There are people coming together, all dressed in magic weapons and jewels.

But when they came here, their expressions were a little stiff.

what happened?

There is nothing in this wilderness but stones.

"It seems that everyone has arrived and the banquet has been set. Please take your seats." At this time, Li Qi came out.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Li Qi who came out.

It was this invitation, the invitation to Tongtian Realm, that caused a series of troubles.

In the final analysis, everything, all the brutal fights carried out by the invitation holders, are all for the sake of being able to see each other in person, in the hope of leveraging a little bit of each other's body.

Many people have already drafted it thousands of times, and have prepared various explanations.

Just wait until you see this Tongtian Realm, then you can rush up and impress him.

However, many people thought well and planned well, but when they saw Li Qi, they all stopped.

Feeling of oppression.

It was obvious that the other party did not cast any spells, nor did he show any hostility, and even deliberately restrained his aura, but there was still a terrifying sense of oppression.

Just feeling the pressure from the Tongtian Realm made them cower. This was pure personal suppression. Facing each other was like facing a monster that was ready to move.

So they all stopped. No matter how many times they drafted, they just felt... afraid to move forward.

But not everyone is like that.

However, the city lord came out at this time, bowed to Li Qi calmly, and said: "My lord, the city lord of Shuiling City, Ling He Zhou, has met your senior. I haven't seen you these days. Is your senior okay?"

"Fortunately, I quite like the person you arranged." Li Qi smiled: "It looks like everyone is here."

"Yes, there are three thousand people in total, not many people, not many people. They are all here, but... don't know where the banquet is?" City Lord Ling He Zhou asked.

"Right at your feet." Li Qi said.

After speaking, Li Qi took a step forward.

In an instant, a world unfolded.

The scenery of this world is blocked, and a new world is forcibly inserted to replace the scenery in front of you!

In an instant, everyone suddenly found themselves in a bamboo forest.

Xiaobixiang in the clear sky, Yunmeng in Kuaiji, there are thousands of hectares of bamboo, the wind blows in the wilderness for thousands of miles, the mountains are covered with fresh green, when you stand up and take a peek, you will see smoke and green everywhere.

When everyone was astonished, many people stood up and ran and jumped. They felt the mountain light was blowing on them, the frosty court and the moon threshold, the rustling and the sound, and their minds were wandering somewhere, among the green bushes.

The breeze was gentle and the orioles were talking cleverly. Everyone seemed to be frightened and turned around, fearing that their sweet dreams would not continue.

Everything they saw before them was so dreamy that they felt like they were in a dream or an illusion.

Although the scenery is beautiful and fantastic, it is not shocking to them. What is really shocking is the terrifying background in these bamboos, mountains, forests, and even the land.

Such pure Qi, extremely high quality, and very easy to digest. If you practice meditation here for one year, it is far better than cultivating outside for ten years!

Looking further away, there were twenty sacred mountains specially erected by Li Qi.

The sacred mountain is ten thousand feet high, and there is the sound of Taoist rhyme in the mountain. You can see the beautiful mountains and rivers, the spiritual realm of the earth, the sky and the treasures. Between the sound of Taoist rhyme, light dust and snow appear in the air, like falling fairy flowers.

This must be an illusion, right?

What kind of handwriting is this?

Everyone has seen that there are twenty different kinds of heaven-reaching auras on the twenty sacred mountains!

In other words, there are more than twenty Tongtian realms, or corresponding treasures!

this--

It’s definitely fake! !

Everyone used their own methods to distinguish the true from the false.

They tried their best to use all kinds of spells and supernatural powers, but soon, they discovered...

That's true.

It is indeed true.

There are even people lying on the ground, absorbing the earth energy here, using it for practice, and then finding that it is really useful.

This means...

It's true, whether it's the extremely pure Qi around or the twenty sacred mountains not far away, it's all true.

And, that is indeed true.

The twenty sacred mountains were formed by more than twenty Tongtian realms that Li Qi had eaten, and there was also a sword master whose martial arts and divine will Li Qi really couldn't learn, so he couldn't keep them and could only let them dissipate.

But for the rest, Li Qi did keep a part of the other party. Although it couldn't be used, it could be used as a trophy to help others understand the aura.

For Li Qi, comprehending these is meaningless, but for those of the sixth and seventh grades, comprehending the aura of the fifth grade is simply a great opportunity!

Everyone, including Lingxiao, breathed heavily.

They didn't expect that such a gift would appear at this banquet!

Yes, they directly determined that the senior in front of them could not be targeted without aim.
