Myriad Paths

Li Qi's spirit was so powerful that it was difficult for the medicine Shen Shuibi could refine to actually work.

However, since the spirit in his body is gone, it can take effect now, but it is difficult to treat it purely by relying on the medicinal properties.

Therefore, Shen Shuibi decided... to expose Li Qi's soul, and then wake him up personally.

She decided, so she did it.

There are huge risks in doing this.

Because Li Qi is at the fourth level, Li Qi's soul's subconscious resistance can easily traumatize Shen Shuibi. She must ensure that her tranquilizing elixir can soothe Li Qi's soul so that she will not be subconsciously affected by mental activities when she enters. Killed.

Moreover, there are some risks, such as...the fusion of souls can easily lead to the erosion of the memories of both parties.

How could a baby endure the memory erosion of a baby and an adult? It will definitely cause unexpected damage.

However, Shen Shuibi is still confident about this.

Li Qi's training time was too short, and he was not as old as Shen Shuibi. Although he was a fourth-grade person, Shen Shuibi was confident that he could still bear it.

After doing a good risk assessment, she merged her soul without hesitation.

but--

Just at this moment!

Countless memories exploded directly! Hundreds of millions of years of complex memories swarmed out of the messy soul!

The remnants of memories are piled up here in a disorderly manner!

So complicated and weird! Li Qi's exploded soul was like a water balloon that was about to burst. The moment Shen Shuibi entered, the contents inside seemed to have found a breakthrough, mingled into a ball and rushed towards the only one. of opening.

Shen Shuibi was overwhelmed by memories almost instantly, unable to distinguish the situation at all.

What...what's going on?

Why does Li Qi have so many memories?

Just when she was stunned, the endless negative emotions and memories were rolling around Shen Shuibi, and the endless emotions were part of them.

The erosion of corrupt evil thoughts, the base and vicious hostility, the burning desire for the great road, the pain of being washed away by endless time, and the loneliness of repeating the same time for hundreds of millions of years.

All of these are mixed together, as if the soul and the true spirit are being torn apart, crushed, and then stirred together!

Shen Shuibi was entangled in these memories, and then his limbs were grabbed. He was unable to resist and turned into a whirlpool. Like a swirling whirlpool, in a pot of personality and memory stew, he was unable to move and found it difficult to resist.

These are all things Li Qi has experienced before.

Although his life was only a few thousand years, he had already gone through too many reincarnations.

The billions of reincarnations in Immortal Heaven, the endless cycle of battles he experienced when he was at the fifth level, and even the dozens of thousands of years spent in distorted time and space. The memory composed of all these occupies 99% of Li Qi's memory. Lots of memories.

Now, these fragments are tumbling, sublimating, and finally condensed into the chaotic whirlpool at this moment.

Shen Shuibi's fifth-grade mind was bathed in complex and chaotic fragments, and she could hardly move -

Broken, something happened!

She immediately realized that the time Li Qi had experienced was far more than thousands of years.

In comparison, Shen Shuibi's lifespan of ten thousand years was less than one ten thousandth in front of Li Qi.

Li Qi... actually reincarnated in the immortal world for tens of thousands of years. Although he only experienced thousands of years on a general timeline, in the cycle... he didn't know how long it was.

Shen Shuibi was directly trapped by such a chaotic calendar and could not move.

‘We must…find a way. ’ She gritted her teeth and thought in her heart.

That's right, that's right...himself!

Although she was a little embarrassed to say it, Shen Shuibi always felt that she should be... more important in Li Qi's memory, right?

Now that he is trapped in the vortex of Li Qi's memory, the only bargaining chip he can show is himself.

Thinking of this, she no longer panicked, but took out the hairpin on her head, let her hair down, then calmed down and put her soul into it.

The surrounding storm is getting more violent!

The raging whirlpool of memories made Shen Shuibi start to feel a little dazed.

The deafening sound began to subside.

The sound did not move, but Shen Shuibi gradually lost hearing it.

The scenery in front of her gradually became darker, but it was not really gray, but her vision began to blur.

She seemed to have fallen into a coma, gradually losing her perception of the outside world.

All the surrounding scenery is like the water left behind after a child throws stones into the water. Ripples unfold layer by layer, and with each ripple, the color of the entire world weakens a little.

But the next moment——

A high-frequency and violent local tremor wave tore through these fluctuations, and huge ripples burst out in all directions!

Suddenly, the world shattered like glass! Thousands of fragments scattered all over the sky, and the fragments turned into pages, each piece recording memories. Li Qi's life turned into fragments all over the sky!

Such movement woke up Shen Shuibi almost instantly.

The moment she woke up, the scene around her changed.

It worked.

Through the contact of the memory itself, the calming pill that was fed before took effect.

The calming effect took effect, allowing Li Qi's chaotic and violent mind to calm down, and Shen Shuibi finally came here.

This place is Li Qi's 'surface thinking'.

It may be unbelievable to say, but in fact, surface thinking is the real core of a person's thinking, which is more important than any subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind, hidden instincts, and various memories are actually like warehouses, stored deep in the true soul and thinking organs, and are usually invisible.

Surface thinking is all the aspects a person shows, and it is also the most important part of thinking for practitioners.

If superficial thinking is gone, one is in a vegetative state.

But if deep thinking is gone, it is just amnesia or loss of instinct, and the person is still awake.

Now, Li Qi's chaotic soul was calmed down by Chen Shuibi's calming pill and the memory she symbolized.

The memory that was originally like a chaotic tide gradually receded and turned into the "edge wasteland of the world", like the wriggling chaos, wrapped into a cocoon.

The scene presented inside the cocoon is a peaceful and peaceful white space.

However, although it is white, it is not pure white, because there are many... scenery inside.

This is the inside of Li Qi's soul, the manifestation of his superficial thinking, and what naturally appears is what he values ​​most.

The first thing that catches the eye is the massive amount of books.

Books, a lot of books, are floating in the white space like butterflies, constantly fanning the pages, flying around, and spreading out all kinds of book fragrance.

Surrounded by these books, Shen Shuibi walked forward.

Walking further, what he saw were all kinds of people in Li Qi's memory.

First there are friends like Boyue, Yan Yan, Zhong Minglou and Liu Shenzhi.

Then there are the elders Zhu Fengdan, Luofu Empress, Yun Fang and Mi Xin.

There are also bezoars that can be glimpsed in the distance, and the previous leaders of the Baiyue Kingdom, these should be relatively marginalized people.

As you walk along these, the white space suddenly turns black.

Shen Shuibi frowned slightly, but ignored the darkness and continued walking forward.

In the state of spiritual blending, there is actually no such thing as "advance". The essence is to get closer and closer to Li Qi's thinking organ.

In other words... Shen Shuibi is approaching the severely injured and unconscious Li Qiyuan Shen, the most mysterious and invisible god in the body.

The Yuan Shen controls Li Qi's sanity. It is Li Qi's first inner god and his eighth-grade Dao foundation. It is a very basic Dao foundation second only to Inner Heaven and Earth. It can be regarded as his destiny. Door.

However, at this time, the darkness suddenly materialized into the previous storm!

This is an attack!

It can be seen that even in the situation of fighting Qiu Zhi risking his life, he did not cut off the soul, and he would really die.

Therefore, Shen Shuibi's behavior of wanting to get closer to the soul caused Li Qi to resist instinctively!

These dark storms quickly turned into a black cloud composed of thunder and sparks. The surrounding environment suddenly became harsh, the temperature was too high to stand, and the manic wind wrapped the black clouds to form tornadoes! Thunderstorms and catastrophic hurricanes spread!

From time to time, the hurricane gradually subsided in this hellish roar. Black clouds occasionally dispersed and condensed into groups. The layers of scale-like clouds continued to roll and roll. Then the large black clouds were swept up by the surging wind, and lightning flashed in the air. The clouds passed by, and the sky was filled with the frightening roar caused by the collision of lightning and thunderclouds!

The sinking water stopped, and these storms remained in place.

Just when Shen Shuibi wanted to continue moving forward, the storm started to move. Ball lightning and interdigitated lightning continued to randomly bombard the covered area. The mutual contact between some kind of psychic powers caused electric sparks to flicker. , Shen Shuibi felt a tingling sensation in her body, but she didn't stop.

The lightning only flickered around her and did not really hit her. This was the reason why she dared to continue moving forward.

She moved on.

So, the storm intensified!

In this primitive and unbridled storm, two eyes faintly appeared in the sky.

That is the true body of God Li Qiyuan!

It was neither a storm nor a black cloud or any other divine body.

This Yuan Shen is just... a pure natural phenomenon, and the form of the Yuan Shen is not at all like any known life! He is the embodiment of pure natural phenomena!

The incarnation of natural phenomena... Shen Shuibi looked at the soul and suddenly realized.

Indeed, this should have been the case.

Li Qi is a Zhuren of the same lineage.

His soul itself should exist in every inch of space in his inner world. It is the incarnation of natural phenomena, just like all earth creatures.

But today's storm is just the resistance produced after the stress of the soul.

Seeing this, Shen Shuibi took the initiative to stop and said softly: "It's me..."

it's me.

Who am I?

The spiritual but unconscious soul cannot tell the difference at all. He only knows that someone wants to catch him, but he cannot be caught. This is a typical feature of spiritual things. It is just like the way of heaven in the world. He knows nothing, but But they can seek good fortune, avoid bad luck, and make actions that are beneficial to themselves.

But in the next moment, this Yuan Shen clearly understood the word 'good'.

Because, Shen Shuibi stood, a jade flute appeared in his hand, and began to play the flute.

The sound of the flute is melodious.

Those are her fourth-grade Dao foundation, the lingering sound of creation, and the ‘Chen Ji’ represented by the singularity of Guixu.

The sound of the flute is far away, clear and elegant, just like the moonlight.

The smoke is dim, and the intestines are inch by inch. Don't let the flute blow away. The stars in the sky have been through the autumn, and by the bright window, I have been thinking about it for a lifetime.

As we all know, the lingering sound of creation can communicate with the earth spirit as the incarnation of nature.

Moreover, this voice is so familiar to Yuanshen...

it's me? it's me? ? ?

What is this ‘I’?

yes……

Yes, Yu'er.

When this term came out, the storm around Yuanshen suddenly dispersed and turned into a gentle white space again.

Yuanshen didn't know what Yu'er was, but his instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil drove him to give up resistance.

Everything disperses.

Shen Shuibi stretched out her hand.

A ball of invisible energy appeared in her hand, which was the manifestation of the invisible soul.

"Take me to where he is." Shen Shuibi said softly to Yuanshen.

The soul is spiritual and ignorant. He didn't know what Shen Shuibi was talking about, but his instinct drove him and began to drag Shen Shuibi's hand towards the real core of thinking.

The real core of thinking is where Li Qi's lifeline lies and where his true spirit is stored.

Under the leadership of Yuanshen, Shen Shuibi arrived here quickly.

Li Qi's true spirit is here.

In a pure white space, Li Qi's true spirit was floating in the air.

The true spirit is the deepest imprint in the soul, the ‘self-awareness’ itself.

This has nothing to do with memory or anything else. Even a paramecium without memory or a newborn baby who knows nothing but the instinct of the body can clearly realize the existence of 'I'.

And this ‘I’ is the true spirit in the soul.

The true spirit is what distinguishes itself from the outside world. A machine does not know the difference between itself and the outside world, while the true spirit can distinguish living organisms from other living organisms.

Unless the machines also give birth to true spirits, they will not be aware of themselves.

When you can realize that the shadow in the mirror is yourself, you have the true spirit.

The true spirit does not look like Li Qi, it is just two or three shimmering runes. This rune can also be summarized as Li Qi's 'honorable name'. Through this name, it can be directly used in rituals and sacrifices. place, contact Li Qi directly.

Shen Shuibi touched the rune lightly.

The surrounding scenes suddenly unfolded!

next moment--

The soft sunshine slowly and patiently spreads on the asphalt road not far away. The shade of the trees is not too big or too small, just covering one side of the sidewalk in the distance. The main road of the school extends to the mountain.

There were several girls who were together saying this, and they passed by the basketball court lively. A few boys were playing ball, sweating, and they looked very addicted.

"Is this...deep in memory?" Shen Shuibi looked around.

This is an ordinary world that looks very ordinary. There are many worlds like this outside the territory.

This is... Li Qi's home world?
