Chapter 559 Crossroads

The fighting lasted for six days.

In the entire world, almost all seventh-level people died in this fateful battle.

Li Qi did not interfere in any way because it was not necessary.

All of this is what should happen. When faced with the choice of the fate of the world, fighting is inevitable and part of the natural operation, just like two powerful predators snatching prey from each other.

And no matter what they choose, the world will be more prosperous.

Yes, although most seventh-level people will die because of their own choices, no matter which ending they go to, the world itself will only benefit, and their deaths are valuable.

Hmm...Li Qi sometimes wonders, do these people think of this when they risk their lives to fight?

Do they know that no matter what the outcome of their battle is, it will actually be a good outcome?

Or should we say that even if the world becomes worse, they will continue to fight and implement their choices?

After all, such a choice is actually a moral struggle.

Use your own will to decide the future destiny of the world, and transform the world into what you want, without regrets even if you die. This is the most typical Taoist struggle.

But... do people who fight really know that their decision is right? Why do they believe so firmly that they are right?

The only thing I can rely on... is my Taoist heart, right?

Just like everything Li Qi did.

He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, but as Dao Xin pointed out, even if it was wrong, why not do it? If you don't do it, how will you know you are wrong?

Before the results come out, if you don’t even have the courage to say you are right, then you might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes instead of practicing Taoism.

To practice and practice means to practice before practicing. The "practicing" part is very important.

right?

Witnessing a group of people fighting for the Tao they insisted on, but at this time, a voice suddenly appeared behind Li Qi.

He is a man with facial paralysis. If Li Shiwei were here, he would have exclaimed: "Leader!"

Yes, this is the middle-level member of the Chamber of Commerce, seventh grade.

His home world is here.

"I've seen you, I wish you..." He saluted Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, are you here also to compete for the future of this world?"

"I have left here, and this time I have brought back a future where the world is destined to be promoted. This is enough. The karma between me and this world has been paid. I no longer belong here and will not fight for anything." The facially paralyzed captain So said.

"Then what else are you doing here?" Li Qi asked gently.

"I have a question for Zhu Ren." The facially paralyzed captain cupped his hands and lowered his head.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, we are face to face. There is no shop like this after passing this village." Li Qi agreed to this request easily.

In fact, Li Qi is a very talkative person. Of course, the premise is that you have to talk to him.

The paralyzed captain looked at the extremely brutal battle that was still going on.

It was really tragic. More than 20 people of the seventh grade alone had been killed in the battle. Hundreds of miles of scorched earth were covered with devastation, but they were still showing off their magical powers. People and beasts were biting each other, and the hills were bulldozed. The forests were Be burned.

"I can understand that their deaths were... caused by Zhu Ren?" the facially paralyzed captain asked.

Li Qi raised his eyebrows.

This question is somewhat interesting.

So, he replied: "I am the reason behind this. Their path was chosen by themselves, but I was the one who caused it, so it can be blamed on me, but not all of them."

Yes, Li Qi did not interfere with their choice, but Li Qi was like a behemoth, and their path changed just by passing by.

Of course they can choose by themselves, after all, they walk their own path, but all roads are actually just the footprints of Li Qi when he passed by. Their choice did not change, but the result was actually changed by Li Qi.

So Li Qicai said that he could be blamed.

"Really... In other words, Zhu Ren clearly changed their choice. It was Zhu Ren's arrival that led to the fight between them. Zhu Ren was clearly the cause of all this. Why could he still calmly think that he had not What about interfering with choices? You clearly interfered with all their choices, Zhu Ren, distorted the future of this world, and forced them to kill each other. Zhu Ren...don't bear these consequences? "

The paralyzed captain asked Li Qi indifferently.

"Your point of view is very interesting, but I did not interfere with their choices. Maybe I changed the path ahead of them, but you have to know... There is no path in this world that cannot be changed. They are like this, and so am I. "

When Li Qi said this, he paused and looked up at the sky.

When the cold-faced captain heard this, he was stunned on the spot. It seemed that Li Qi had given him great inspiration, and he was stunned for a moment.

What Li Qi said... seems to be okay.

Indeed, for life, there are always different paths in front of them. Which path they choose to take is the life's choice.

This choice is the so-called ‘crossroads of life’.

Li Qi brought a new crossroads, which led to a change in their choices.

But……

Without Li Qi, would there be no crossroads?

No, that's not the case.

In any case, whether Li Qi comes or not, there is always a crossroads there, and there are always many choices waiting for them to choose.

Even if Li Qi doesn't come, there will still be a crossroad that already exists, and who brought this crossroad?

And such crossroads are not only theirs, but also Li Qi himself.

Their every move affects the choices of others, and the choices of others also affect the choices of more people.

Just like a pebble thrown into a calm surface of water, when the first pebble falls, every drop of water becomes a pebble of other water.

When water droplets collide with each other, countless changes occur, and countless changes give birth to countless choices.

In this world, there are other people influencing other people every moment, and crossroads always exist, so the important thing is the choice itself, not the crossroads.

Without the current crossroads, there is always the next one.

Even Li Qi was like this. He made countless choices. How many of them were arranged by God? I'm afraid he doesn't even know it himself.

But, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter who arranged it. Even if no one arranges it, new intersections will occur due to chance.

All a person can do is to see the path under his feet clearly and then step out.

That's all.

Looking at the paralyzed captain who was deep in thought, Li Qi continued: "This is cause and effect, do you understand? A single move affects the whole body, just like a big net. You can't get out of it, so instead of worrying about these, it's better to take a look how to choose."

"It's so difficult to transcend the web of cause and effect..." he sighed.

The captain was silent for a while, then saluted, said goodbye, and left this place and his native world.

His journey is outside the territory, and he doesn't want to stay here any longer.

And in the end, the last seventh-level beast who practices the way of heavenly evolution dies.

The existence named God Emperor lived to the end. He was covered in blood, his dharma was broken, and he fell asleep on the ground. He murmured: "I choose... the new world."

"As you wish." Li Qi nodded, then turned around and left.

Li Shiwei's matter has been resolved, her Taoist heart has been stabilized, and the Taoist foundation is just a matter of time, let her solve it by herself.

Alas, the child's problem is solved.

But... old horse

Li Qi shook his head.

Decades have passed, but Lao Ma still hasn't made any progress at all. Pony Ma has given birth to countless children, but has never been able to break through to the seventh level, but he still has no sense of urgency.

That’s why I said it…

Choice is the most important.

Thinking of these, Li Qi's figure gradually dissipated. This seventh-level world will be handed over to Luofu Mountain and become a member of the Chamber of Commerce. The various techniques Li Shiwei brings to them will allow them to quickly enter the technological explosion. .

But Li Qi didn't need to worry about these little things.

He returned to his cave and sat in front of Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit is dozing off, but his senses are not turned off.

When Li Qi sat down, she also opened her eyes and asked, "Is it solved? How is Shi Wei?"

"Well... how should I put it, it's okay. After this time, there should be no problem with the seventh grade." Li Qi said.

Shen Shuibi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Then she stood up and said: "Then I can rest assured during this period of retreat. I was always worried that there would be bad news when I came out of retreat, but now I have calmed down."

Li Qize frowned: "You still want to refine the Five Elements Upside Down Dragon and Tiger Zhoutian Golden Pill?"

This is a kind of golden elixir method of Taoism. There is a poem that goes: "The five elements are upside down, and the dragon emerges from the fire. The five elements do not move in the right direction, and the tiger is born in the water. The yang dragon originates from the palace, and the yin tiger still emerges from the kangaroo position." When the two things come together, it becomes the foundation of the Tao, and the five directions of action lead to the elixir.”

The Five Elements Reversed Dragon-Tiger Zhoutian Golden Pill is a type of the fifth-grade golden pill of the inner alchemy method.

Shen Shuibi is now at the fifth level of outer elixir cultivation. However, she is not confident enough in the face of a big battle, but she does not want to sit still and wait for death, so she takes a different approach and comes up with this method.

The inner elixir method focuses on cultivating life, using oneself as the furnace, and tempering the human body's small world into one unified body, which is called the golden elixir.

The outer elixir method is to use the help of the outside world to refine a genuine 'golden elixir', and then eat it, replacing the cultivation of life with external practice. It is only different from the inner elixir method in terms of path, and there is no advantage or disadvantage. point.

There are even some Taoist monks who don't practice golden elixir at all, but that's another trick.

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, is ready to completely return to her previous inner alchemy method. After all, her small world of human body has been restored by the infusion of massive amounts of emperor fluid.

In this way, although there can only be one golden elixir in the body, and wasting so much time is of no use to the growth of cultivation, the previous external elixir can be freed up and refined into a magic weapon.

The fifth-grade Waidan, this thing is really worth a lot of money.

But Shen Shuibi was not prepared to make a magic weapon, as the magic weapon would play too little role at the critical moment.

She plans to refine this outer elixir into the Five Elements Inverted Dragon and Tiger Zhoutian Golden elixir, which is mainly used for self-destruction.

"Da Dan Zhi Zhi" says: The five elements are reversed, the dragon and the tiger are intertwined, the sky and the earth rise and fall, the sun and the moon come and go, one closes and one opens, advance and retreat, survival. "Yi" says: Only the sage knows how to advance and retreat, survival.

That's what this thing is for.

Throwing it out at the critical moment would be equivalent to Shen Shuibi's self-destruction, which would be a trump card for herself.

However, cutting off the outer elixir and then condensing the inner elixir is still a technical job after all, and it is not that simple for Shen Shuibi. It requires calmness and careful inspection before doing it, otherwise it will be easy to take out the outer elixir. , but the inner elixir was not condensed, and the cultivation level was completely dispersed, returning to the inferior level.

It’s already very difficult to repair it again, and if I try it again, I’m afraid the road will be cut off.

Therefore, when her daughter was outside, she was restless and worried all the time. Naturally, she did not take this action for the time being, fearing that if she received bad news or a summons from Li Shiwei in the middle of the process, what should she do?

Is it because the cultivation base is gone or is it just sitting back and watching?

Therefore, Shen Shuibi has never dared to retreat, fearing that something might happen to her daughter.

Now, Li Qi brought news that Li Shiwei had settled down, so she relaxed and decided to do this.

Li Qi, on the other hand, sighed and said, "Do we have to make such preparations? We can ask the teacher for one or two life-protecting magic weapons..."

Shen Shuibi smiled and shook his head: "If I would give it to you, I would have given it to you long ago. This frontline incident was originally for your Taoist heart. How can this be the case? There is one thing you can pay attention to, Yang The news brought by Ning is that after five years, the empress will wake up, and the people from Wushen Mountain have agreed to wake up the empress first, and then wake up the master when the war comes. "

"Empress Luofu is about to wake up..." Li Qi was stunned. This disappearance was indeed a bit surprising.

"Be prepared. Yang Ning should also tell you about this later. When the time comes... you must pay a visit to the empress, right?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"That's natural, that's how it should be. I understand. This is... the first time we've met." Li Qi said.

When he said 'first time', he hesitated.

Because, for him, this is actually not the first time.

Li Qi once saw the Luofu Empress shaped by the demon in the Desire Realm, and the Luofu Empress was killed by the demon.

In fact, the Luofu Empress is 'real', or in other words, exactly the same as the real one, with no difference at all.

But now this Luofu Empress should be seeing herself for the first time.

Hmm...it's a bit difficult to handle.

After watching Shen Shuibi enter his cave for retreat, Li Qize walked outside the cave.

He stretched, and all the muscles and bones in his body rattled.

After decades of squatting in the world, there is no need to worry about children.

When you reach the seventh level, you don't have to worry about those little things. Anyway, it's very difficult to die at the seventh level unless you provoke someone you can't afford to offend.

Immediately, Empress Luofu woke up and went to see this elder.

Then... let's go outside the territory and make preparations in advance.

Not just the Chamber of Commerce, but other stronger worlds, looking for some powerful extraterritorial existences.

(I had a tooth pulled these days, and I had an unbearable headache and was dizzy. Please ignore the wrong chapter number.)
