Chapter 330 The Essence of the Demonic Path

Just after the demon appeared, darkness enveloped everything, the surrounding light was completely still, and all movement stopped. Only Li Qi and the demon still maintained their original mobility.

Li Qi listened to the demon in front of him who looked exactly like him and even had the same temperament.

Then, Li Qi curled his lips: "I, Li Qi, like to say no to those who are self-righteous."

"So stop talking. As long as I bite you until you die, you won't be able to lie to me."

Li Qi simply closed his eyes and mouth and never said a word again.

But Heavenly Demon Li Qi didn't seem to feel dissatisfied. On the contrary, he tilted his head and continued: "However, even if I can control my own will, I will not do it like this."

"Because that would be too boring. The will controlled by me is equivalent to my will. In this way, there is no difference between him and my clone. In this way, it means that only 'I' is still alive in the world, and everyone else is alive." It’s just my clone, so what’s the point?”

"Besides, my will alone, no matter how much time and inspiration I have, my fantastic ideas are limited. Only when you people also have your own will, will thousands of ingenious ideas emerge. , will make the world colorful and make me less bored.”

Li Qi listened to the other party's words, but still closed his eyes tightly and said nothing.

He kept repeating in his mind: I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear...

But the demon didn't seem to care, and was still talking to himself: "By the way, do you know why I pursue meaning? Do you know what 'devil' is?"

"If you don't know, let me tell you."

"You see, I can easily manipulate all of your senses. I can easily destroy your perceptions and then reshape them. With just a snap of my fingers, I can return you to your babyhood in your senses and allow you to continue living through it. A childhood, finally completed a 'rebirth', everything is the same as it really is."

"To be honest, it's not difficult."

"Think about it, every day when you go home from Taixue, you look at the lights of thousands of houses on both sides of the road. How do you know that there are really families in so many rooms living the same life as you? You You haven’t visited each house, right?”

"How do you know that there are really countless people in the world, that there are really distant oceans and land, that there are really so many people and so many things happening? Right? The most you can do is read some books and some maps. That’s it, the only other place you’ve been to is the Holy Flame Realm, and even the Holy Flame Realm is sailing on Xingcha. Is Xingcha really traveling? Is it possible that it just showed you a panoramic video?”

"Isn't the night scene in the distant view the texture in the game you played before? The farther away you are, the harder it is to see. In fact, it's just that the farther away you are, the lower the resolution is. When you close your eyes, the places you can't see at all are really Does it exist?"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if these are true, even if you have traveled to certain places, it only means what you saw at that time. When you come back, maybe it will disappear."

"As for other people, the number of people you often interact with is only a hundred or ten. The rest have either never been in contact, or only have a one-time relationship, and most of them only produce some audio, video, or even text. Communicate, do they really exist?”

"Look, you were videotaping with that person named Shen Shuibi before, right? How did you know that it wasn't me on the other side of the video? Can you tell the difference?"

"So think about it, if a demon, that is, me, wants to play with you, the cost is actually not that high. After all, there is only so much information you can accept, thousands of people, hundreds of scenes."

"Everything in the world can be fake. Since I can easily fabricate your senses, what can be guaranteed to be true?"

“The only real thing in this world is your own will, that is, ‘I’, which can be guaranteed to be true and reliable.”

"Even the devil may be fake. The only real one is yourself."

"When everything in the world is false, life is meaningless, and everything is meaningless, the birth and death of life are like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. It has no meaning, it is just there. The ultimate search for meaning is not solution, but consciousness. To no solution.”

"When everything may be false and meaningless, the only thing that is meaningful and the only thing that is definitely true is oneself."

"The devil is me, I am the devil."

"Demon thoughts are actually meanings. They are actually imaginary creations of all sentient beings to support the bloated parts of all sentient beings that have grown beyond their essential needs at the thinking level. Without demon thoughts, there would naturally be no human nature. This There is no need for the world to exist, so life cannot resist the evil thoughts, which is part of their existence. Without the support of the evil thoughts, all sentient beings are meaningless. "

Li Qi listened to the demon talking to him.

I don't know why, but the demon actually started to preach to Li Qi, and it was not in a mysterious and mysterious way, but in a straightforward manner, using simple language to explain the essence of the demonic way.

Being a demon does not mean doing evil. If you do bad things and call it a demon, that would be too rewarding.

The essence of magic is to recognize this empty and false world, and then find the only meaningful thing in it.

That is ‘self’.

When everything in the world is fake, then the only real and reliable existence is yourself.

It's like being in a huge virtual reality game. You can't tell whether other people are NPCs or players, but you can be sure of one thing, that is, you are definitely a player.

In this case, everything in the world is meaningless, only you are meaningful, so what should you do?

Of course... play.

Since everything is meaningless, there seems to be nothing else to do except to please yourself and act for the meaning of your existence.

So, the magic path began to do a lot of strange things.

They are like a group of self-righteous players.

After Tianmo said this, Li Qi seemed to suddenly understand why the magic path did so many vicious things.

Nothing special, just fun.

The fourth disaster, a group of players who descended into a game world, have you heard of it?

The people in the magic path are just such a group of fourth disasters.

Their actions are completely unreasonable, and they do not follow any secular rules. Everything is just out of pure "heart".

Li Qi seems to understand the logic of the magic path.

Indeed, if the world is really as the Demon Dao said, then the Demon Dao does have its own worldview and rules of conduct, plus the corresponding skills and techniques, it can indeed be called a path.

However, Li Qi didn't understand why he, the Free Demon, said these things to him.

However, he couldn't help thinking in the way of the Demon Dao. If the Demon Dao was really what he said...

Then all his motives seemed to be summed up as "fun".

Is it fun to say these things to yourself?

Is it fun to control those things about yourself?

Li Qi didn't understand. He was not a person who could make particularly interesting reactions. He didn't go crazy after being messed with by the Demon Dao. It shouldn't be a big stimulation to the Demon Dao.

Why would he pay attention to himself? Why did he say these to himself?

Li Qi didn't know, but he still adhered to the only supreme instruction of "I can't hear", and resolutely refused to communicate with the Demon Dao, regardless of whether what the other party said made sense...

Wait, Li Qi suddenly realized something.

Just now, did he think that the Demon Dao actually "made sense"?

The moment this thought came up, his small world of human body, which was still an empty shell, suddenly began to move.

Just now, I said that Li Qi's small world of human body is now an empty shell, because his cultivation was scattered, and these scattered cultivations were used as hooks by him to fish, and he fished out the rhyme of the Heavenly Demon Dao.

Li Qi could no longer hold on, he suddenly opened his eyes, it was broken!!!

The Demon Dao took advantage of this moment and joined the framework in his body!

Just because he "felt that it made some sense", his body suddenly began to move, and the Demon Dao quietly joined his body because of his "thought".

The Tao is not a sect.

You can join a sect if you want to, and you can leave if you want to. At most, you can betray the sect.

However, the Tao is your body and mind, everything about you, the foundation of your cultivation, the source of your thoughts, the benchmark of all your actions, and the sum of all things you recognize from the bottom of your heart.

People can betray anyone, but they cannot betray themselves. People can deceive everyone, but they cannot deceive themselves.

You cannot betray and deceive your own Tao.

Since Li Qi felt that the Demonic Path had some truth, he couldn't deceive himself. He couldn't just say no.

He also knew this, and knew that the Heavenly Demon wanted to use his recognition to distort his body!

Not to mention completely turning into the Demonic Path, but at least a nail had to be inserted!

However, Li Qi responded immediately!

You know, no matter what, cultivation needs to have a realistic foundation. He can agree with the views of the Demonic Path, but as long as he doesn't practice the Demonic Path... and doesn't put his cultivation into it, even if he has some recognition in his heart, it can't be seen on the outside.

The Tao is about the heart, not the deeds, but when others observe, they can only observe the deeds, not the heart.

With this in mind, Li Qi immediately began to save himself!

He immediately began to close his own little world of life to prevent his cultivation from recovering!

Then, he began to actively collapse the framework in his body!

Even if this would make his cultivation disappear directly and drop his quality to become a mortal.

But he couldn't care so much.

Close the little world of the human body to prevent the influx of external qi.

Then break the existing structure in the body to prevent the Demonic Path from using them!

Li Qi knew that this might be futile, because if the demon really wanted to do something to him, Li Qi would not be qualified to resist.

But, he had to resist!

He had to resist!

Even if he was facing a first-grade demon, who knew if there was a glimmer of hope? What if it was just a demon clone? What if he was not a demon?

Right?

No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to do it.

However, what Li Qi did not expect was that as his self-disintegrated, the demon path... began to encircle the land?

Li Qi collapsed one piece, and he occupied another piece.

No!

This could not be done, because it was exactly what the other party wanted, which was to actively give up the human world to the demon.

Li Qi immediately changed his strategy. He let go of the human world and began to absorb the external qi. At the same time, he rebuilt the human world structure with people, witches, and Tao as the core.

However, when he started to build, he would inevitably need the external resources and different qi to fill the human world.

The demon outside just smiled and waved his hand.

Countless demonic energy surged in the void.

Li Qi wants to rebuild the human world?

Okay, I will only give you one kind of raw material, that is demonic energy.

As long as you build, you will inevitably bring the lead of the demonic path.

The gap is too big. No matter what you choose, the ending is already determined.

Li Qi had to use his brain again.

Think... observe, and then make a decision.

How can you check and balance such things?

Immediately, a flash of lightning flashed through Li Qi's mind.

Then, he directly pinched his fingers with one hand, sat cross-legged, and chanted: "The Bodhisattva now goes to the Great Bodhi Field. He wants to realize the fruit of Anuttara Samyaksambodhi and defeat the demon army!"

"In order to complete the ten powers of the Tathagata, the four fearlessnesses, and the eighteen unique Buddhist teachings, he will turn the dharma for all and make a lion's roar!"

"Practice Dharma to all sentient beings, so that the Dharma eyes of all sentient beings are pure, and with his correct Dharma. Subdue all evil and foreign theories!"

He wants to suppress the demons with the Dharma!

Li Qi had practiced Buddhism for a while, and he even had 108 magics to exorcise demons!

All the gods in his body sat cross-legged, dispersed their divine bodies, and made loud sounds with the power of Buddha. The sound was all over the place, and it was like a lion's roar, telling all living beings with its kind of sound!

Li Qi really tried his best!

If the gods in his body were dispersed, he would really become a mortal. If he wanted to embark on the path of practice again, he would need to make a hundred times and a thousand times more efforts.

Because the gods in his body are essentially part of the body, if they are damaged, Li Qi would probably have to reincarnate to have a new one.

However, the demon still just smiled slightly and tapped lightly.

He had spent a lot of effort to study the Buddhist teachings he had learned, but suddenly it transformed uncontrollably.

Li Qi's pupils shrank, and he immediately realized what this was.

Buddha and demon are one!

He transformed the free demon into a demon and made Buddha and demon one, and easily used the Buddhist teachings produced by Li Qi himself to twist himself, mixing the demon path into it, making them indistinguishable!

Li Qi was completely desperate.

There was no way to resist. The opponent didn't even use any magic beyond the seventh level. He just said a few words, aroused the demonic energy, and then lightly distorted Li Qi's Buddhism.

Li Qi's cultivation gradually stabilized, the small world of his human body was reconstructed, and his cultivation returned to the seventh level.

But this time... it was no longer a mixture of three sects.

But five!

Human, witch, Taoist, Buddhist, and demon.

The characteristics of the five sects were mixed in him alone.

The demon looked at the huge energy on Li Qi with satisfaction and smiled.

"Look, isn't this very suitable? How about it? The five-fold path is rare in the world. By the way, you don't have the corresponding magic and cultivation methods for the two veins of Buddha and Demon, right? Come, I'll make up for it for you."

As he said, he pointed out, and the inheritance of divine will pierced into Li Qi's brain!
