Myriad Paths

Chapter 656: Master-Disciple Dialogue

On the flying boat, Li Qi was drinking tea with Zhu Fengdan.

Little Heavenly Master is indeed hiding his secrets. Although the Yanyun tea just now was good, compared with this one, the gap is really huge.

Li Qi even felt that his cultivation level had improved, and at the same time, a pure Taoist charm began to spread within his body.

This rhyme is not aggressive, and is dissipating. It seems that it cannot last long, maybe it has returned to the inside of the tea tree.

But the process of dissipation also made Li Qi feel a special sense of oppression in his body.

This feeling of pressure is not uncomfortable, it feels like... just like... a massage?

Yes, it was massage, easy and soothing pressure, and then relaxation. The Taoist struggle in Li Qi's body seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"Is this... what the Taoist sect considers to be the 'ultimate Tao'?" After Li Qi drank the cup of tea, he felt that the Taoism in his body had relaxed a lot, and all the Taoism seemed to have calmed down.

"Well, the aftertaste of the Dao is pretty good, isn't it? The ultimate existence of the Dao is simulated with tea leaves. Although it has some shortcomings, it is still very powerful as an experience and a taste." Zhu Fengdan smiled at Li Qi.

"Teacher, could it be that you suddenly came to me because of Zhizhu's mission?" Li Qize didn't talk nonsense and went directly to the topic.

Rather than chatting with Zhu Fengdan, I'd rather ask about the mission honestly.

"Well, that's it. I want to tell you in advance. After you go in, it will take you about a hundred years to come out. Of course, this refers to the outside world for a hundred years." Zhu Fengdan said.

As he spoke, he put out a bunch of dishes, all of which were high-grade delicacies: "Don't just talk, eat first, and talk while eating."

Li Qi was not polite. With a movement of his hands, the inner world turned into chopsticks, picked up a piece of Kunpeng sashimi, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and digested the treasure in it, and then said: "The hundred years outside, that is, Said, the time inside will be longer, is it a special cosmic light? "

"Well, it can't be considered a special cosmic light, but it can probably be one to ten thousand?" Zhu Fengdan did the math.

Li Qi spurted out with a puff.

"How much?!" he shouted, looking at the teacher with wide eyes, disbelief on his face.

What a fuss, one to ten thousand! ? In other words, he will stay in it for a million years! ?

Can you still survive here? Will he die?

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the sharpest part of Kunpeng's abdomen. It's very expensive." Zhu Fengdan looked at the fish fillets that Li Qi spat out with distress, as if he wanted to pick them back up and eat them, but he couldn't hold his face. Hesitant and confused.

Li Qi didn't care about that, but immediately said: "Teacher, you want me to go in and stay for a million years? Are you serious? I'm only over a thousand years old. Even if you count the time back, I'm not nine thousand years old." Come on, why are you arguing with me? If this is the case, I might not be able to complete this task. It’s not because I failed, it’s just too outrageous.”

Zhu Fengdan said: "Don't worry, I estimated based on the worst-case scenario. In the worst-case scenario, you can come out in a hundred years."

"No, even if I only stay for ten thousand years, I can't bear it!" Li Qi couldn't help but complain.

"Don't worry. Throughout the whole process, you will only have the memory of the time you succeeded, so it won't be uncomfortable." Zhu Fengdan explained.

"Hey, teacher, isn't it a bit bad for you to just tell me about the tampered memory?" Li Qi looked at the table.

"Is this good for you? Can you bear it if you repeat it hundreds of millions of times? It's better to delete it and just treat it as a dream. Just have an impression. If you insist on remembering it, isn't it making yourself unhappy?" Zhu Fengdan said with a smile.

"I can't accept that memory is part of self-existence." Li Qi retorted.

"Do you still remember what happened before you were three years old? Were you not who you were before you were three years old?" Zhu Fengdan said casually, and then picked up a chopstick of mushrooms, which were full of life and the energy of the mountains and rivers, which made him The chopsticks sprouted.

Then, he shrugged easily: "Okay, don't be so anxious. Memory is something that comes and goes. I dare not say that I can remember everything that happened. After so many years, I have to forget a little bit. Yeah, it’s pointless to catch him like that.”

But Li Qi was surprisingly persistent in this regard. He shook his head, put down his chopsticks, put his hands on his knees, stood up straight, and said: "No, the memory must be retained. It's okay to do the task, but erasing the memory... I can't accept it. "

"As long as you're happy, but if you want to keep your memory, you have to do this. It's very painful." Zhu Fengdan's tone became slightly more serious: "You can't refuse this. In order for you to accept this task, you have to do it." Master, I paid a heavy price for you. If you give up, I will have to tie you up."

Of course, Li Qi understood this. Zhu Fengdan arrived in person this time, and the transfer orders from the 'alliance' made him realize this. This matter was definitely not simple.

And my choice is like having surgery without anesthesia.

But he really couldn't accept having his memory wiped, mainly because it took too long.

It can be said that the memories before the age of three were not remembered at that time, but this, the memories that went in for a million years are all gone. If Li Qi can really come out of it, wouldn't it mean that... 99% of his memories so far have been deleted?

99% of people’s memories have been deleted, so what’s the point?

So Li Qi couldn't accept it.

Zhu Fengdan also clearly saw Li Qi's thoughts.

So, he shook his head and didn't care: "Okay, you choose, I won't interfere with you. If you want to keep your memory, then keep it. Don't cry and ask me to help you seal your memory when the time comes."

"That's good, thank you teacher." Li Qi nodded. In fact, he also knew that Zhu Fengdan would not refuse him most likely.

Zhu Fengdan didn't like to arrange others.

Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly thought of something: "Teacher... By the way, can I ask you something?"

"You have already asked." Zhu Fengdan looked at Li Qi and curled his lips.

This little bastard, his mind was exposed, just for him to see.

Li Qi was thinking about Zhu Fengdan's cultivation at this moment.

"Okay, anyway, you are going to do great things, so it's no big deal to talk to you now. Just ask anything, I will answer you while I am still at the table. After eating, I will not accompany you when the table is cleared." Zhu Fengdan said so, then knocked the head of the chopsticks on the table, aligned the chopsticks, and started to pick up the dishes.

Li Qi was not polite and immediately said: "Then, teacher, can you tell me the highest level of cultivation you have ever reached?"

"I stepped into the second level in one step, and then I dismantled my foundation, and now it is like this." Zhu Fengdan said very casually.

"Why did you dismantle your foundation? Did you take the wrong path?" Li Qi asked again.

His questions were simple and direct. It was obvious that he wanted to analyze Zhu Fengdan's specific situation and then guess what was going on behind this matter.

"I didn't take the wrong path, but I just don't like it." Zhu Fengdan was very calm, just chatting about family matters.

Li Qi didn't have any special tone, just like asking people where they went to work at the dinner table: "Well... arranged by God? Unhappy?"

This guess made Zhu Fengdan raise his eyebrows.

Because Li Qi didn't know about this, where did he guess it from?

"How did you guess it?" He didn't deny it, but asked curiously.

"Well... feeling? It's just a feeling. Nothing can stop you, unless you find that you have been deceived before?" Li Qi said so.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my disciple. You are smart. Your cleverness sometimes makes people angry, but it is not completely without merit." Zhu Fengdan laughed, seeming very happy.

"Is that true? Were you really arranged by the master... should be the master, by the master?" Li Qi asked immediately.

"Almost, anyway, it is for my own good, but, as I just said, if you don't like it, don't do to others what you don't want, so I didn't give you a quieter environment. Why, don't you blame me?" Zhu Fengdan laughed.

"How could it be." Li Qi chuckled and shook his head: "Maybe there were some complaints before, but now, what can't be figured out? It's just that my luck is really not good."

There is nothing to resent. What Zhu Fengdan did is also what he wanted.

Free growth, rather than step-by-step targeted care, Zhu Fengdan has never used his ability to manipulate cause and effect, as if he has abolished one of his classic characteristics as a third-grade from the root.

Normal third-grade people have the ability to manipulate cause and effect and control "probability", but Zhu Fengdan has never shown this ability, and now Li Qi is standing in front of him, he can clearly perceive this.

Li Qi now has some third-grade characteristics. He can even sense the line of cause and effect, and manipulate a little bit of cause and effect to the extent of being close to God's will, and use this trick to defeat Liu Junyi in the Vanguard Battle.

However, Zhu Fengdan did not react to the line of cause and effect, and could not even sense the unshakable "heaviness".

It was as if... this person did not exist.

If a person has no cause and effect, then he naturally does not exist, but Zhu Fengdan is different.

Is this his intention, or... some kind of price?

"You are indeed unlucky, and few people are as unlucky as you, but it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." Zhu Fengdan answered casually.

Knowing the answer he wanted, Li Qi opened another topic again: "Then... the next question, teacher, where did you ask me to go this time, what task?"

"It's very simple, it's what a Zhu person should do, communicate and exchange with others." Zhu Fengdan said.

"Why? Why did you choose me? And why did it take a million years for such a thing?" Li Qi frowned.

"It's very simple, because there is something wrong with the place you are going to. The place you are going to is a first-class world." Zhu Fengdan explained: "Even in the entire outer domain, there are not many first-class worlds. Even for me, it is not a place where I can easily come out."

Li Qi took a deep breath, then picked up a chopstick of snow bamboo shoots and chewed them quickly, trying to distract himself.

But the snow bamboo shoots were crisp and tender. After chewing them twice, they turned into rich spiritual energy that diffused in his mouth, which could not distract him at all. He could only close his eyes and meditate for a while.

Zhu Fengdan ignored him and just ate.

After a while, Li Qi finally calmed down and did not lose his composure. Instead, he continued: "What kind of first-class world is it? Is it very dangerous? Why don't you ask Da Zhu to go there? Why did you find someone like me?"

Zhu Fengdan waved his hand, and a light curtain unfolded, showing the appearance of that world in three dimensions in the form of pictures: "That world, they call themselves Xiantian, so we call it Xiantian Realm. If you go there, remember not to use the word "realm". They don't like this term, and think we are useless outsiders, quite closed, and only have some simple contact with the Taoist sect, but still think that the Taoist sect has gone the wrong way."

"For this reason, most of the existences above the third rank are not very welcome there. Although they don't like to wander outside the domain, they spend most of their time practicing in their own world, but after all, it is a first-rank world... It is very big, and it is enough for them to survive."

Li Qi looked at the light curtain carefully, listening to Zhu Fengdan's words while reading the information on it.

The information is stored in the light curtain in the form of book qi, so the amount of information is large and the introduction is very detailed.

Xiantian, a world where... the way of heavenly evolution and the Taoist sect run parallel.

Unlike the vitality outside the domain and the orderly world, the world that calls itself the Immortal Heaven is a rather brutal world. The practitioners in it have no concept of "Tao" at all. They practice not to pursue Tao, but to survive.

Yes, to survive, because they all live in extremely terrifying competition. Everything is the same as animals, the fittest survive, the strong survive.

In the Immortal Heaven, the world itself is divided into three levels.

The lowest level is called the mortal world, where all practitioners below the seventh rank are practitioners, and it is also the place with the most brutal and fierce competition. The social form is mainly a "gang" called "sect". The sects gather together not like the world, and there will be any common vision, goals to work together, etc. They gather together purely because the survival rate of the group is higher.

The sects in the world, such as the Zhengjian Palace that Li Qi knows, all have the same vision and recognized way of doing things, and everyone gathers together for this goal.

But the immortals are different. Their sects are just gathering together. There are even various internal conflicts, power struggles, and open and secret struggles, so the sects often collapse and then reorganize, and the replacement speed is extremely fast.

Again, compared to the sect, this is more like a gang, or the inferior kind among the gangs, because even gangs have to set rules and regulations, and these gangs don’t even have this. Everything is free competition. People are like beasts. They practice only to get sharper claws to survive.

But when they reach the seventh level, they will experience a transformation.

It is called "receiving and ascending".
