Chapter 815: The Southernmost Part of the World, the Place of the Demonic Path
Li Qi and his wife are worried about their daughter.
Therefore, Li Qi is going to visit his predecessors and seek advice from wise elders who have had similar experiences, hoping to find the answer.
And Shen Shuibi is going to close the door to break through the cultivation first and gain strength, so that it will be more convenient to act in the future.
As for Zhu Fengdan...
Li Qi didn't go to find her at all, because he knew that Teacher Zhu must be entangled by the evil spirit at this moment.
From the way the evil spirit behaved, it can be seen that she is not an easy woman to get along with. It is estimated that she is not able to take care of Li Qi now, so Li Qi simply does not bother her.
On the other side, Tianxia-
belongs to the area of the Demon Dao.
The Demon Dao, as one of the nine places in Tianxia, is located in the south of Tianxia, in the polar hot sand.
However, this place is actually quite desolate. The hiding of the four demons directly led to the fact that there is no top-level strongman in the Demon Dao. In addition, the Demon Dao is not a united faction. Therefore, this area is called the Demon Dao... It is better to say that it is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with everything. It is a completely free land, and its degree of chaos is even worse than that of the East China Sea.
Almost all the sects, as well as all kinds of stowaways from outside the domain, will choose to settle here.
Perhaps this is intentional by the Demonic Path.
After all, the Demonic Path actually needs practitioners from other sects as a hotbed for "parasitism".
Demons are the paths that parasitize on other paths, taking away wisdom and life, destroying the merits and virtues of the Tao, so they are called demons.
The foundation of the Demonic Path is the suffering of the world. The Heavenly Demon likes to play with the world, the Trouble Demon feeds on the Tao heart, the Five Aggregates Demon obstructs vision and hearing, and blocks people's path, and the Death Demon wants to push the world into death.
All of this can only be developed on the basis of the existence of other sects.
Therefore, there is almost no "cultivation" in the Demonic Path. Few of the fresh blood of the Demonic Path are cultivated by themselves, and they are all from other sects "entering the demon".
For example... Li Shiwei.
In this case, the Demonic Path will naturally hope that as many people as possible will come. Whether as fresh blood or as fresh food, a large number of practitioners are indispensable to the Demonic Path.
All this has also led to the current hot sand in the south.
After all, even in a place as chaotic as the East China Sea, there is still order, mainly because order can effectively improve competitiveness and is of great use to Tianyan, so the real dragons do not reject order.
But the magic path is different.
The magic path does not reject order, but prefers chaos. The practitioners of the Heavenly Demon lineage do their own thing, the trouble demon lineage feeds on the troubles of others, the Five Elements Demon is good at creating illusions, and the Death Demon simply kills everything.
Each of them is not a good lamp, one can make an area miserable, which shows what kind of hell this place is.
But even so, there are still many people flocking to it.
Nothing else, the magic path has almost no access system. If you want to come to the "world" and want to ascend to the "immortal world", then the magic path is your easiest choice.
Going to the human world, the review you have to go through is harsh.
The witch path simply does not accept any visitors, or more accurately, does not accept any "smugglers", and you can only rely on your own ability to come.
This stowaway does not mean sneaking in, but you have to be strong enough to climb down to the sky by your own ability, rather than being sent here by other means of transportation.
The True Dragons and the Taoists have the same attitude. They do not accept stowaways. You can only come here through the formal ascension procedures, such as defeating the patrol angels with your own strength, or hiding from the patrol angels and breaking through the Gangfeng layer by yourself. As long as you can do it, it doesn’t matter, and they won’t care about you.
The attitude of the Buddhists is similar to that of the demons. They have set up a set of strict automatic management facilities, covering their own sky. This thing will naturally filter out many beings trying to come to the world, but apart from this thing, they rarely pay attention to the "ascenders".
As long as you can break through this automatic defense, they will not care about you, and they don’t care whether you come from somewhere else.
The Dao Sect, the Spiritual Sect, and the Shinto Sect are completely different. They resist all ascenders and do not accept the arrival of all ascenders... No, to be precise, they resist all outsiders, even those from other sects or even their own sects. For example, outsiders cannot approach the Taoist Penglai Fairy Mountain or the Shinto Sect's Thirty-Three Heavens. Even the Dao Sect's own people may not be able to see them.
But the Demon Sect is different from these.
They accept everyone.
No matter who you are, as long as you get on the Demon Sect's car outside the domain, you will be transported here. It doesn't matter, the more the better.
This also leads to the southern hot sand in the world being the most densely populated place in the world.
The Baiyue countries, each country has an area of a normal earth-like planet, and the population is generally in the order of one billion, which shows how sparse it is. On average, there are about ten people per square kilometer.
But in the southern hot sand, this number is about 100,000 times.
One million people per square kilometer.
No kidding, it can really reach this density, and this density does not include the "cave heaven".
If we take into account the capacity of various cave heavens, cave mansions, and small worlds, the population density of hot sand may reach hundreds of millions of people per square kilometer.
Even if we don't talk about the cave heaven, just talking about this ordinary density, the ground can't stand.
One square kilometer is equal to one million square meters, which means that people are standing everywhere, so tightly packed that there is almost no space.
Therefore, the area of Hot Sand is actually layered.
The bottom ground, then layer by layer, divided into dozens of layers, all the way to the highest level of the dome, at the top of the dome, you can see the sky.
As for the creatures living in the lower layer, they have no sunlight, traffic congestion, and almost no public security.
It is simply a bad nest world.
But... isn't this what the Demon Dao wants?
This kind of place can give birth to the ultimate demonic thoughts. As the controller of all this, the Demon Dao is at the top, looking down at the sentient beings below who come to the "Immortal Realm" with hope.
They think they have come to the "Immortal Realm", the top place in the heavens, where even breathing can improve their cultivation.
But... when they really arrive, they will find that the place that is easy to come to may not be as good as they imagined.
They were put in the hot sand land, those huge urban buildings that accommodate a large number of people to work and live. These buildings are stacked layer by layer, like hamburgers. People live in them like cockroaches, and carry out material circulation in them. Then, from their noble and advanced wisdom, strong demonic energy and demonic thoughts ferment.
At this moment, Li Shiwei and the Demon Prince came to this place.
Li Shiwei was on the 25th floor.
The area of the demon path must not be able to accommodate so many people in one layer, so they use super huge buildings to stack them up layer by layer.
The 25th floor is considered the middle part. The people here have a higher status. They are basically practitioners. Being able to come here is considered to be successful, and even has the opportunity to go to the "outside world".
Li Shiwei looked down. The sun has never really shone on the creatures here. They only enjoy the faint light of the magic weapon from behind the thick smoke and the "inner clouds", so they appear sickly pale.
The reason why it is called the inner cloud layer is that the "first layer" here is actually very large, so large that it is hundreds of meters high, enough to produce a lot of clouds and fog inside the first layer, and with the artificial sun on the ceiling, it can barely be considered "light".
After thousands of years of construction, huge cities are all over this area.
Unlike the beautiful scenery of Wudao, or the orderly prosperity of humanity, this place is chaotic and noisy.
With so many people, everyone has to survive. In this case, industrialization is almost indispensable.
The never-ending industry draws the vitality of heaven and earth, and even the vitality of other lives, at all costs, just to survive. Such a move has turned the earth into a huge radioactive desert, perhaps this fits the description of "hot sand".
Steel forests, wastelands of ash, and oceans composed of toxic sludge, these make up most of this area, and the reason for this is that in such places, the only effective industrial energy is the real flame of the sun.
After all, it is the world. No matter how bad it looks, the technical level cannot be low. Even the lowest mortals have mastered the controllable Great Sun True Flame. They can rely on magic weapons to create artificial suns.
But these artificial suns, in addition to bringing heat, light, and energy, will also cause the complete deterioration and serious pollution of the ecological environment due to their radioactivity. If you don't take protection, breathing the air here directly will cause your lungs to rot and melt.
Of course, if you have a high level of cultivation and a strong body, that's another matter.
On the earth, layers of buildings made of quick magic weapons and simple materials are piled up, countless residences, residential houses, and industrial plants are stacked on each other. Your house is built on my house, my house is built next to his house, and the new community is built on the roof of the old community. When you go out, you are on the second floor of the factory building next door. When you look up, you are looking at the pipes flowing with chemical waste liquid. From time to time, there will be a "waste liquid rain". On the pipes, there are still people building houses, not caring whether the pipes can bear it.
In fact, collapses happen from time to time, and these areas are blocked by collapsed or collapsed layers or partial ruins from time to time, and then new buildings are built on the ruins.
Buildings one after another, like building blocks, gradually formed the largest cesspool in the world. Except for the top people who can live at the top, close to the Gangfeng layer, the lives in the lower layers may never see the sun from the day they arrive in the world to the day they die.
And many of them will choose to reproduce. Their children live in this dark large building from birth. This is their whole world. They never go out until they die, and they don’t even have any concept of the sky and the ground.
However, they are not stupid.
The magic path did not suppress their learning opportunities, and even actively provided knowledge and skills.
After all... they have to practice Taoism, they have to be full of desires, and they have to want to rush out of this place and go to a better area, right?
Otherwise, their evil thoughts will not be blazing.
The magic path does not need some stupid, dirty beasts.
What the demonic path needs are ambitious seekers, so that their hearts can become food for the demons.
There are hundreds of millions of different sects and techniques here, mixed together. Their living standards are extremely poor, but the quality of their techniques is not low, and their knowledge is by no means limited.
Their hearts are no worse than those of people anywhere else, and the more so, the more they want to break through the prison they are in at the moment.
"I don't like this place... very much." Li Shiwei said to the Demon Prince in front of him.
"Really? I don't like it very much either, but other people like it very much. The quality of the magic thoughts produced here is particularly high, far from those breeding farms outside the domain." The Demon Prince said casually.
"Annoying." Li Shiwei shook his head.
"If you feel annoyed, then smash it. I smashed it before, but it was repaired later, so I don't bother to care." The Demon Prince looked indifferent, and then quickly came to his residence here.
There is no doubt that he lives on the top floor, close to the Gangfeng layer.
Not only is there no smoky air below, but you can even see the sunrise and sunset.
In this land of hot sand, this is a unique beauty.
Until here, Li Shiwei has been following the Demon Prince.
The Demon Prince's residence does not match his cold personality at all. In fact, it is quite luxurious, with a large number of stacked and complicated decorations. Although it does not occupy a large area, the price is obviously not cheap.
There are also a large number of collections from other sects, including top-level magic weapons, each of which is very valuable and can be exchanged for several world groups of the same grade.
"These things..." Li Shiwei asked.
"The spoils of war, many of which are life magic weapons, so I put them away." The Demon Prince said.
Then, he suddenly turned around, leaning on his crutches, and said to Li Shiwei: "We are already here, do you still want to follow me?"
He asked seriously.
"Yes." Li Shiwei nodded without hesitation.
"Interesting, this is the first time someone has followed me, but... if you follow me, you will have to face very scary things." The Demon Prince smiled.
"Scary things? What?" Li Shiwei frowned.
"Me." The Demon Prince pointed at himself.
"Uncle Mo... you are joking." Li Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "We have been together for a long time, right?"
"So you think you understand me? Ha..." The Demon Prince said so.
But then, he didn't say anything, just found a place to sit down and ignored Li Shiwei.
No need, since she wants to follow, then let her follow.
It doesn't matter.
So, in the Demon Dao area of the world, Li Shiwei lived in the residence of the Demon Prince.
