Chapter 809 Swallowing Baiyue

The ancient sage emperor Yao gave his throne to Yu and Shun in this place.

Sacrifice has various rules. For example, as mentioned before, Zhang Xu's method of summoning the house gods. Every rule is in line with the power of ghosts and gods and is used to summon them to help him.

At Li Qi's level, there is no need for sacrifices to summon ghosts and gods. Countless ghosts and gods will appear to run errands as soon as the order is given.

Mainly because at this stage of the ritual, because the truth of the ritual has been penetrated, you can do whatever you want. It is like knowing the principles of chemical formulas. You don’t need to add raw materials step by step, and you can make the proportions according to the properties of various materials. , to achieve the purpose you need.

But no matter what, the basic elements are the same. No matter how they change, these basic elements are still part of the sacrifice.

Among these basic elements, ‘symbols’ are an indispensable part of the ritual.

Even language is a symbolic system expressed through sounds.

The 'words' attached to language directly 'refer' to something.

Words themselves are a very direct ‘symbol’ system.

Appeared in front of me: apple, why can such a word be associated with the fruit "apple"? I can even think of the taste and aroma of apples.

It is because language and words 'symbolize' the fruit of apples, allowing people to understand its meaning.

This is also the power brought by words and language, and the power of spells and talismans, in a sense, all rely on this to take effect.

A symbol is an object or action that has meaning attached to it.

The result of expression must make the other party understand the meaning to be expressed, so a symbol includes a meaning that is recognized by most people, that is, this thing or action will cause the same reaction in most people.

The 'Tai She' is commonly used in sacrifices. The head of Tai She should be five feet long to count five, and two feet square to measure yin and yang. The upper part is to symbolize the birth of things, and the lower part is square to symbolize the earth. Body, these particularities all come from this.

In this case, for most people to have the same meaning for the same symbol, they must have the same experience, that is, contact and use the same symbol in similar circumstances, because the same meaning is attached to the symbol, so in each case Special living groups must have their own special language, with many words that cannot be translated in other languages.

The symbol of sacrifice can actually be understood as this special language, a language that only witches and nature can understand.

However, this language often degenerates into a simple and primitive meaning.

for example……

imitate.

When life first reaches a consensus on language, it relies on the common 'imitation' of the same thing.

Therefore, the simplest way to implement symbolism is to imitate.

Li Qi deprived the Baiyue princes of their private property, and at the same time started the 'reform' ceremony for the entire Baiyue. With his own power and a little conspiracy, he made the Baiyue princes sit back and wait for death, which can almost be said to be deposed. took over their throne.

At this time, Lord Yunluo chose to abdicate.

Now, the last part of this grand ceremony is for the Lord Yunluo and Li Qi to imitate the abdication of the Ancient Holy Emperor.

At the same time, at this moment, Qiu Zhi also suddenly discovered——

It was Li Qi who gave the first move!

Li Qi actually knew the cause and effect brought by that wisp of mountain spirit. The purpose of alienating the mountain spirit from Li Qi was to imitate the 'chaos' before the abdication.

Yes, the reason why he abdicated was because the virtues of the previous Holy Emperor could no longer be maintained, so a new Holy Emperor was needed.

Therefore, Li Qi asked Dao Dao to create chaos in the mountain spirits, and in addition Human Dao actively participated in the great sacrifice, so in this case, this behavior also became part of the revolution ceremony!

It is precisely because of this 'chaos' that there is a 'revolution', and Li Qi is the 'new emperor' who accepts the throne of Baiyue!

The great sacrifice that was already tilted was once again on Li Qi's side at this moment.

However, Qiu Zhi did not panic, but looked at Li Qi with some confusion.

He already understood Li Qi's strategy.

There is nothing wrong with imitating the etiquette of the Ancient Holy Emperor.

It's just that... you can tell by looking at the color of the light beam below that what the Great Sacrifice is practicing at this moment is humane Dharma.

Humane Dharma, coupled with Ge Li, these powers belong to Li Qi, will he die?

His inner world was already riddled with holes, and now he had to inherit the righteousness of humanity.

So, can his capacity accommodate humanity?

Qiu Zhi felt that it was not possible.

But can't take the risk.

Since what is in front of us is humane Dharma, then...why is it that only Li Qi can undertake it?

He immediately rushed in the direction of the Holy Emperor's ruins.

Li Qi is a symbol.

Then he will do it for real!

He was ready to directly devour the Holy Emperor's relics and confront Li Qi head-on.

And Li Qi looked at each other.

Everyone really had a tacit understanding and thought of it together.

Then come and grab it.

Until now, Qiu Zhi had no doubts about victory.

Although Li Qi's frequent methods are indeed somewhat unexpected, in any case, these methods are promoting the power of humane Dharma-rectification.

In other words, no matter how Li Qi jumps around, he is making the power of humanity stronger, and Qiu Zhi has a natural advantage in this.

Including now.

The power of humanity fills Baiyue, and the dharma of humanity has become Baiyue's "way of the world".

Qiu Zhi can just borrow this power.

The next moment, Qiu Zhi arrived at the Holy Emperor Ruins.

This is the battlefield of the third rank. You can see Zhu Fengdan, who only has half of his head left, fighting with the human general who only has a spirit body.

Zhu Fengdan looked relaxed, even though he couldn't actually defeat the other party.

The general of Zhennan Prefecture began to take action to suppress Zhu Fengdan and give Qiu Zhi a chance.

Now, the symbol brought by this grand sacrifice will be completely borne by Qiu Zhi when he arrives at the Holy Emperor Ruins.

Zhu Fengdan immediately took action to intercept.

But the reality was tampered with, the bizarre timeline and space fragments intertwined, and the light traveled between different time and space, forming a sea like a broken mirror.

This sea of ​​broken mirrors blurred all forces and light, and also blurred the law of cause and effect and various interferences, creating a safe zone, allowing Qiu Zhi to successfully avoid Zhu Fengdan's sniping.

Zhu Fengdan increased his strength and tried to break through.

But the general of Zhennan Prefecture would never let go at this time. He used more output to forcefully suppress Zhu Fengdan, which would cause him to be weak in the future. But if Qiu Zhi was saved, there would be no future.

Zhu Fengdan was unable to break through the Sea of ​​Broken Mirrors and was suppressed.

Li Qi was in charge of the Great Sacrifice and could not spare his hands.

Then... Qiu Zhi successfully arrived in front of the Holy Emperor's ruins.

It is called a ruin, but it is actually just a cave.

Many years ago, this was actually a swamp, but the swamp was deeply buried by geological activities and turned into a cave.

Qiu Zhi did not delay and walked into the cave quickly.

In front of him, there were some "imprint fossils".

That's right, there are no artifacts that have not decayed for billions of years, nor are there any magical powers or anything else left behind. There are only some imprint fossils, which are similar to the traces left by dinosaur footprints.

But this is the real Holy Emperor's ruins.

Qiu Zhi stood in it and started the terminal. He heard the instructions of the two Chongli clans.

The witches of the two Chongli clans immediately began to guide.

Qiu Zhi's spirit began to leave his body.

He entered the realm that the spirits of the witches entered when they were performing a shaman dance.

Here, the witches would temporarily lose consciousness and control over their bodies, entering a state of "shaman dance". However, in return, they could establish contact with the beings they wanted to communicate with, and then communicate and exchange, or even coerce or bribe.

As an orthodox human being, Qiu Zhi was experiencing this feeling for the first time.

It felt a little groggy, and the feeling of the spirit and the body being separated was not pleasant. It could even be said to be a bit torturous, as if the connection had been cut off.

However, it was still bearable.

When he opened his eyes, he had come to the spiritual world unique to witches, through which he could see the true appearance of the ruins of the ancient saint emperor.

It was said to be the true appearance, but in fact, there was nothing special.

Those were just some ordinary ritual objects, some necessary treasures, all of which had practical uses, not for extravagance and display, but for the responsibilities of the Holy Emperor, such as ‘rules’, ‘rules’, ‘tripods’ and the like.

Qiu Zhi stepped forward, he wanted to replace that position with himself, to take the symbol of the ruins, the burden of Baiyue, into his body, so as to completely annex Baiyue, and conceptually completely incorporate Baiyue into the human territory.

But at this time, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

It was Li Qi’s voice: “Hey, Captain Qiu, that’s not your position.”

With this voice, Li Qi also descended here.

“Anyone can go to the unoccupied position.” Qiu Zhi replied, but stopped.

Although he could sit up immediately, Li Qi would definitely not be able to snatch it from him because of the distance, but Li Qi would definitely interfere with him.

He had to make Li Qi surrender and retreat before he could sit up with peace of mind, otherwise, if he was interfered with, he would not dare to guarantee his success.

"No, only I can go, because... now, I am the ruler." Li Qi said, raising his hands to show his status.

He exuded a sense of oppression.

He was not the ruler of Dalu, Yunluo, or Lushan -

He was the ruler of Baiyue.

All the countries of Baiyue were connected together, and the status of all the rulers was concentrated in Li Qi.

At this moment, in terms of 'legality', Li Qi was undoubtedly the ruler of Baiyue. He had successfully 'abdicated' and obtained the foundation of all the rulers of Baiyue.

"... Really domineering." Qiu Zhi sighed.

"Humanity, are you trying to make me laugh?" Li Qi couldn't help but sneered.

"It's useless to say more. Status doesn't mean anything. Let's see the truth." Qiu Zhi also raised his hand.

"You can't fight here, but... who said that only one person can sit? Come on together, let me see your capacity." Li Qi said so.

"We can't fight, so we're going to compete in terms of equipment? Okay, come on." Qiu Zhi nodded, and then sat on the ancient Saint Emperor's seat without hesitation.

Since we can't fight here, we won't be afraid of any interference.

As for the competition of equipment?

It doesn't matter at all, Qiu Zhi is not afraid of such a challenge.

Li Qi didn't say much, he closed his eyes.

He couldn't grab that seat, but he had the status of a lord, so he could still participate and interfere with the other party.

Then let's see who can grab the Saint Emperor's relics.

Both of them chose their own way at the same time.

The next moment, the ruins of the Holy Emperor began to vibrate, and two spirits fought in it.

The spiritual battle is indescribable, but both sides are accommodating Baiyue with their own "capacity".

Baiyue is very large, with many people, and countless people have their own stories.

Whether it is No. 1 and Yu'er outside the domain, or those high-ranking kings, or mortals like Xiaochan and Zhang Haoming, and practitioners like Zhang You, Bai Di, and Zhang Xu.

Their practices are different, their thoughts are different, and what they do is even more different.

Thousands of people, thousands of industries, thousands of thoughts.

All of this constitutes a sea of ​​​​mind.

In this sea of ​​​​mind, everyone's consciousness is gathered here.

Li Qi clearly felt the existence of this sea of ​​​​mind. When his perception spread to the entire Baiyue, he clearly felt the existence of the power of humanity.

He has never been so clear about mortals.

Countless souls, whether they are human, monsters, ghosts, or anything else, as long as they are in Baiyue, whether outside the territory or in the world, all living beings can be clearly seen by him.

He saw all the treasures in those hearts, and saw the courage of all living beings who refused to succumb to the fate of being so unfavorable and the evil-minded king.

Extraordinary courage, sincere spirit, and the emotions expressed from the heart of all living beings, these have no mean or vulgar elements at all, it has become a great force, grabbing all of Li Qi's feelings at the moment, grabbing his whole body, grabbing all his thoughts.

The souls swayed and lined up together, forming a vast world, just like a school of sardines in the sea, covering the sky and the earth, endless.

Is this what the human law sees? Is this what the "king" should see?

Li Qi felt all this.

However, in this sea of ​​​​heart, Li Qi felt another thing.

Is that a sardine? It's a giant whale!

The giant whale saw Li Qi and immediately burst out with unprecedented power!

The giant whale rushed towards Li Qi, unstoppable. In the sea, nothing has ever been able to shake this great existence.

The whale is the absolute overlord of the sea.

It is difficult to describe such power in words, and even the picture cannot express the horror at this moment.

Countless small fish were blown away, and the sea was churning. The waves were earth-shaking. On the sea surface swept by the waves, Li Qi saw many small boats flying up. They felt the majesty of the giant whale in fear, so much so that they were shocked by its majestic demeanor and fully appreciated the noble anger of the big whale.

At this moment, in the real world outside-

The ruins of the Holy Emperor on the battlefield poured out waves of energy.

The aftermath poured into the sky from the cracks in the earth.

It seemed that the sound of water could be heard, like a mountain torrent that had erupted.

A huge concentric vortex was formed.

The energy vortex stirred up a cyclone, and the atmosphere was shaken.

The surrounding scenery was like leaves in a tornado, spinning and spinning, and then gradually being torn apart.

Two spirits appeared in the minds of all the creatures in Baiyue, causing them to hallucinate involuntarily.

Who has enough capacity to swallow up the entire Baiyue?
