Chapter 768: Heaven Devouring Reappears
Baiyue, a palace complex floating in the sky on a randomly picked mountain.
All the fifth-rank officials sat separately, about a few dozen meters apart, floating outside, listening to the orders of the Master of Wushen Mountain in front of them, and dared not be disrespectful.
The Master of Wushen Mountain in front of them was their life-saving straw. They didn't know what to do to survive, but this master knew, so they just had to listen to him.
Li Qi talked and assigned tasks on the top.
"Lord Wenlang, Lord Zhenning, Lord Xiou, you are responsible for the two steps of Yong and Tuwei."
"Lord Dalu, you are the first to bear the brunt, so the focus of the grand sacrifice is on you, and the Lord of Shishan and Lord Mingqing next to you will provide support."
Li Qi arranged all the tasks smoothly. He had already made arrangements for the grand sacrifice in advance, what to do in each step, what to do in each country, and even what to do in each city.
The entire Baiyue, hundreds of different countries, the cities in them add up to hundreds of thousands, and the number of living beings is easily hundreds of billions, but Li Qi has started from scratch in just a few hours, according to the different nature of each country's master's skills, different aspects of expertise, various geographical advantages, ground vein flow, the characteristics of the upper Gangfeng layer, and even folk customs, etc., have all been calculated.
For example, Wenlang country usually likes to use livestock as sacrifices, so blood sacrifices are arranged there, and Wenlang country's national style is independent, and its customs are good at fighting and fighting, so the step of "Tuwei" is arranged to enter there, so-called "in oneself, saying that all things are their own nature, so it is called Tuwei", which can better play this aspect.
And this arrangement, there are more than 100,000, and each city has made corresponding arrangements according to its specific customs and people's hearts, and history since ancient times.
But these are all details. The most reassuring and terrifying point for these country leaders is that Li Qi arranges them according to the nature of their skills and their footsteps.
"Lord Lingxiao, you are the flower god. Your skills come from Chang'an. The technique you practice is Wu Yu. You are good at offering sacrifices with wine, fragrance, fruit and music, so Chai Liao will be arranged on your side."
"Lord Xianghe, and the three surrounding countries, you are brothers, all of whom are from the same lineage of music. You should know that Xianghe has four leads. Xianghe is responsible for the konghou, and the other three are responsible for the shang lead, zheng lead, and yu lead. I want you to use these four leads to play thirteen songs with sheng, flute, jiege, qin, se, pipa, zheng, and drums."
Li Qi named them one by one, easily told everyone's footsteps, and arranged everything they could do within their capabilities.
There is actually no information about these. These kings are all smart people, and most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death. How could they tell Wushenshan about their footsteps? These are all done by Li Qi on the spot. He examined everyone with true knowledge. Now Li Qi may know themselves better than they know themselves.
This made these kings both fearful and relieved.
What they fear is… the might of Wushen Mountain and its control over intelligence. The young master in front of them is really amazing. If it were normal times, they would definitely want to run away.
But at this moment, they wish that Wushen Mountain is as strong as possible. The more powerful this young master is, the more at ease they are. Unfortunately… these kings are not fools. They can all see that the stronger Wushen Mountain is now, the stronger the Humane Tang Kingdom they have to face will be.
The combat power of both sides is obviously highly tied.
But what can we do?
Go ahead with it. Now we can only believe in the young master of Wushen Mountain with all our heart and soul.
However, there are four kings whose moods are different from those of other kings.
First is Lingxiao Flower God. She stared at Li Qi with complicated eyes…
Who would have thought that when this young master came to visit him, he still needed to perform the etiquette of a junior and pray for her help to introduce some contacts in Chang'an.
But it has only been thousands of years, and the other party has already reached the fourth rank.
This is simply… a monster.
It is impossible to describe it in words. What is his basis? Thousands of years are just a blink of an eye for many fifth-rank people.
The second is the Lord of Bailin, who is just a little emotional.
When this young master passed by him, he was only ninth-rank, and he was still in seclusion. I don’t know if the young master helped him solve the troubles in the country.
At that time, he only cared about the two young masters’ protectors... He didn’t care about the two young masters.
But now, he is already fourth-rank.
He is a little lucky that he made friends with this young master, so he doesn’t have to be embarrassed at this time.
The Lord of Green Mountain didn’t feel that way, he just felt relaxed.
After experiencing such a great horror, the Lord of Green Mountain has deeply realized the current situation. No matter who came, he would go all out, and now that it was Li Qi, there was no need to worry.
As early as when Li Qi was ninth-rank, he personally went to make friends with this young master. Now the other party has made a leap to fourth-rank, and the moon spirit is still with him, which shows their relationship.
The good karma he had established at the beginning now seemed to be bearing good fruit, which made him feel much less fearful and nervous.
As for the Lord of Dalu...
He only felt a little subtle now.
He knew the background of this young master, where he came from, and even how he rose from a low-ranking position.
But at this moment, witnessing the other party's genuine fourth-rank pressure...
I can only say, alas... Actually, there is nothing much to say, things in the world are unpredictable, that's how it is.
The other kings also have their own thoughts and plans.
But Li Qi didn't care about all these thoughts.
It doesn't matter these little thoughts, as long as their brains are still online, that's fine. As for those whose brains are not online... just kill them. Keeping them is a waste. It's better to die and make some contributions.
But fortunately, after all, they are all people who can practice to the fifth level. They can be regarded as super elites. They can only be carefully selected in the infinite world. No one should do anything stupid at this time.
Even if they want to do it, they will realize that... Li Qi will not spoil them.
In this way, two days and two nights passed.
During the past two days, Li Qikou kept arranging the normal grand ceremony in an orderly manner. The entire Baiyue, in total, has an area of hundreds of Earths. With such a large area and population, he regards "city" as a The unit has laid out an entire system network, fully utilizing all resources.
Together with the Great Sacrifice, you can attract the power of gods, humans and ghosts, and bless the earth, turning all the nations of Baiyue into iron buckets, and you can even maintain basic abilities in a fifth-level battle.
At the same time, all residents will be mobilized, all production activities will stop, and everything will serve the war.
However, the better thing is that there is no need to worry about daily necessities. Li Qi only needs a little magic to feed everyone in Baiyue, so everyone in Baiyue only needs to do their best. Strength would be nice.
Moreover, they are not all mortals, right? There are still many practitioners in Baiyue.
However, in addition to the many kings of Baiyue, there are actually many forces similar to Zhengjian Palace in Baiyue. How to deal with these forces depends on what the king will do when he returns.
Li Qi didn't care about this, he had said enough.
After all the things were explained clearly, Li Qi finished and said: "Then, let's stop talking here. Let's go and act on your own. You don't need me to teach you how to do it. If it's something, just come here to report it. We will always report it here." I still have a body of law left."
The heads of the kingdoms stood up one after another, saluted Li Qi, and then turned into a swarm of meteors and scattered away.
But Li Qi did not leave or relax.
Because, just after everyone left, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and stood in front of Li Qi.
His body exudes a vague attraction. This attraction is not a charm, but a physical attraction. This makes the dust and fallen leaves around him move closer to him, but they cannot really get closer to him. .
Looking at his face again, his appearance was changing every moment. He was wearing ordinary clothes and looking at Li Qi.
"Long time no see. See you well, Demon Lord." Li Qi said with a smile.
The person in front of him is clearly the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord.
Obviously, as the nail laid by the demon clan in the Baiyue Zone, it is time for this nail to come into play.
"Haha, Young Master, I haven't seen you for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that Young Master has already reached a level beyond my reach. He's so awesome." Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven laughed loudly, then found a chair and sat down: "Now that humanity has invaded, I didn’t expect that the young master would come out to meet the enemy. Wu Shenshan values the young master very much.”
Li Qize cupped his hands and replied: "It's okay. Now that there are four fronts outside the territory, even Wushen Mountain is a little stretched. Although I am incompetent, I can barely do it. There is really no other way, so I came to preside over it." The overall situation is a joke to the Demon Lord."
"Young master, why should you belittle yourself? You have already reached the fourth level of cultivation at such an age. It is natural for the Witch God Mountain to attach great importance to it. Maybe the Witch God will personally watch and protect you." Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven waved his hand and said.
"Let's not talk about that. Even if there is a witch god protecting me, we can't see it. If the demon lord suddenly comes to visit, what do you think?" Li Qi stopped chatting and started to get to the point.
When talking about this topic, the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven was a bit meek. He said: "I don't dare to ask for advice. Now I am still far away from the fourth rank and cannot compare with the young master. I just want to ask the young master for advice. Now the human army is raging. What do you want? response?"
"How I deal with it, will it affect the Demon Lord?" Li Qi immediately asked.
Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven took the initiative to come here, and he probably wasn't here to eat, but given his status, he was not a humane spy. Now that he was asking Li Qi how to deal with the enemy, he probably wanted to assess the risk.
After all, Baiyue can be seen by the naked eye to be a troubled place, and the Demon Dao must also make some plans.
This was also the reason why Li Qi was so polite to him. Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven represented the entire demon clan behind his back.
"Of course it will affect me. After all... which side the demon clan will take this time, everything depends on you and me, young master." Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven said with a smile.
Li Qi took a deep breath: "Demon Lord, have you decided on this kind of thing?"
"Young Master must have recently met a great sage from the demon tribe who has returned to the ruins from the original time. His name is 'Yao Wanchi'. He is my enlightenment person." Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven said this.
As he spoke, the attraction on the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven showed up. Not only the dust, but also the surrounding palace floors, clouds in the sky, air, and other substances were all attracted to him, but they could not get close. It can only spin around him, eventually dismantle and turn into an energy flow like an 'accretion disk'.
This is him revealing his true nature.
You know, when the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord fought with Shen Shuibi, he revealed his true form. He was a demonized neutron star.
The title of Enlightener is very important in the demon path.
It is basically equivalent to ‘parents’.
As mentioned before, for demon paths, they don’t care much about blood ties. A rat demon who has transformed into a demon will not have any feelings for his mother who has not transformed into a demon. He does not regard her as his relative, or even just regards her as a beast. He does not think that his birth has any connection with this physical mother.
But for Enlighteners, they always respect them. They believe that their lives are given by Enlighteners. If there is no Enlightener, they are just ordinary beasts or something else. But with Enlighteners, they have a real ‘self’, and this is the real ‘I’, not the body of a beast.
This is the answer to the ‘I am me’ of the demon path. They do not think that the body and life are ‘I’, but self-consciousness is the real ‘I’.
Li Qi nodded slightly, almost expecting it: "Senior Yao Wanchi, I did go to the Yao Wanchi Realm recently, so, does that mean that the demons started to pay attention to me since then?"
"That's the opposite. It should be said that it was because of your performance at that time that we really took you into consideration. After the Great Sage Wanchi and the Great Sage Yishan discussed, they delegated the power to me, and I was the one who judged whether the forces of Baiyue could cooperate with one of the two sides of the human and witch parties." The Devouring Heaven Demon Lord said so.
Li Qi sighed: "The Demon Lord is really quite trusted... Such things are actually given to you to take full responsibility."
"Same here, isn't it the same for you? The Baiyue battlefield is so important, but it is still handed over to you. Well, let's stop talking nonsense. I'll be honest. In the current Demon Realm, if the forces are integrated, there will be about three fifth-grade combat forces, which already includes the total strength of the army formation. However, one of the fifth-grade is me, and I... am much stronger than the Lord of Baiyue. If I delay, I can at least delay more than ten Lords of Baiyue at the same time."
"In addition, there is a secret treasure in the Demon Realm that can at least delay thirty fifth-grade people. It can be said that... the Demon Realm is very important in this battle. Our decision may affect the outcome of the war."
"And what we want is also very simple. After the matter is accomplished, we hope to establish a country in Baiyue." (End of this chapter)
