Chapter 864: Conversation with the Demon Prince (8K Chapter)

The image of the Demon Prince has almost covered all the sky of one of the nine lands in the world. The entire area of ​​the Demon Dao Hot Sand has been completely obscured by the demonic energy above the sky.

The sky, the earth, the ocean, the Gangfeng layer, and even the underground below, the ubiquitous darkness has eroded everything.

According to common sense, there will be patrol angels coming to cause trouble at this time.

However... more than 20 patrol angels are already lying there, so no one is coming for the time being.

The fall of many fourth-grade has caused serious deviations in the surrounding time.

Mars entered the gourd, more than 30 degrees north of the ecliptic, and the hook has moved, the light is as bright as five buckets, and Taibai suddenly violated the Wolf Star, which is in the south of the ecliptic.

It can be seen in the sky during the day, competing with the sun for brightness, and even turned into a demon star. The essence of the star of the star turned into a spear, the essence of the star of the star turned into a thief, the essence of the star of the star turned into a dog, the essence of the star of the star turned into a crooked arrow, the essence of the sun turned into a betel, and the essence of the moon turned into a comet.

The whole world was distorted because of this, and all the flow of qi had been cut off. The spirit of the Demon Prince filled every inch of space. In the ordinary world, this would probably be a devastating disaster.

Under normal circumstances, a third-grade person should have taken action at this time.

Unfortunately, the demons and witches had reached an agreement that, except for the parties involved, no power above the fourth grade would intervene in this matter.

Then...

It can even be said that if the third-grade person did not take action, no one in this universe could stop the Demon Prince.

However, Shariputra reached out and pulled the seriously injured Jing Wuzhen back.

Facing the Demon Prince alone.

No... Not alone, along with him, there were also Maudgalyayana, two Buddhist disciples, blocking the Demon Prince's path.

"Ah... you two, that's fine, both are about the same." The Demon Prince put on the heavy black jade mask again and said, "So, what did Li Qi do? Can you tell me?"

Sariputra heard this, clasped his hands together, and said calmly, "Oh, are you here for Li Qi? I thought you were here to protect the Dream City, after all, Li Qi is going to refine half of the city."

"Those things are irrelevant, I just want to know about Li Qi's situation, oh, yes, you have already started to tell me, then continue, what plan did he arrange, why was he able to break through the third grade so quickly?" The Demon Prince looked at Shariputra and asked.

Both sides knew very well that the Demon Prince had now broken through the fourth grade.

Monster-like talent.

However, such a hasty breakthrough is not without cost.

The Demon Prince was furious because he realized that 'Li Qi might be better than him'. He could allow 'going one step ahead', but he could never accept that his peers were better than him.

Even if they were just more talented than him, it would not work.

As the only one among his peers who defeated the Demon Prince by breaking through in battle, Li Qi has a special status in the eyes of the Demon Prince, otherwise he would not have been paying attention to Li Qi all the time.

For "defeaters" like Shariputra, it is obvious that the Demon Prince is much more indifferent to them, and it can even be said that he ignores them.

After all, they are just defeated.

"What plan... If you ask me, I'm afraid there is no plan, but when he was in the fifth grade, he was already paving the way for his third grade. Now he just used a more risky method to build a few stepping stones for himself, and then stepped on them and climbed up by his own strength." Shariputra said so.

"When he was in the fifth grade, he was paving the way... Then, what is the opportunity now? Why can he be promoted by devouring eleven demon kings and using this place as a dojo? This has nothing to do with the promotion of witchcraft, right?" The Demon Prince asked Shariputra again.

He was indeed full of doubts about this.

Shariputra smiled and replied: "Promotion in this way of 'dojo', Prince Devil, don't you think it's familiar? Where is the largest dojo in the world?"

Where is the largest dojo in the world?

For ordinary people, this is absolutely a secret.

But for Shariputra, Prince Devil, this is something that everyone knows.

The largest dojo in the world is the dojo of 'Taiyi', the Lord of the Stars, in Shinto.

The stars in the sky, including the four phases, all the places covered by the world are the dojo of 'Taiyi', and are also part of this god.

Of course, there is another famous example, that is, 'Dragon King of the East Sea' used the entire East China Sea as a dojo, plus the status of the sea god, and wanted to break through the second grade.

Although it failed.

"Oh, that is to say, with the method of Shinto? Shinto...wait, Li Qi doesn't seem to be a god?" Prince Devil suddenly realized something.

Li Qi is quite far away from Shinto.

"This question is open to discussion. After all, his master is the descendant of Zhu Rong, who is an orthodox god. He has a good relationship with Yao Ji, right? And... you should have heard that Haotian once promised him to "punish on behalf of the gods." Shariputra said so. (See Chapter 692 for details)

"In other words, huh... the descendant of Zhu Rong, has been prepared for a long time, and now seizes the opportunity to use the Shinto method and the previous preparations to be promoted to the third rank, and the dojo is still in the Dream City... Does this mean that he wants to go to the Desire Realm?" At this time, the Demon Prince suddenly said so.

"Yes, it is not impossible, isn't it?" Shariputra said with his hands clasped together.

"Well... you are actually quite annoying. You are said to be the smartest... Ah, no, you are indeed the smartest among your peers. You can even catch my flaws here. Compared with you, I He and Li Qi both seemed too naive." The Demon Prince looked at Shariputra and said.

"Seize the flaw? No, there is never any flaw. What you do is destined. Because the seeds have been planted, the results will inevitably be born. Even for you, the cause and effect can be reversed. , but in my heart, everything has been decided, and what a person wants to do is ultimately determined by all the 'causes' in his previous life."

The typical attitude of Buddhism is that all things originate from "conditions", arise from "causes", and eventually bear "results", and then the cause and effect cycle.

Even if the law of causality itself is not strong, the causal connection itself does exist.

In the final analysis, as long as ‘time sequence’ still exists, then this way of doing things is conclusive.

"Yes, so if you see through all the causes, you will see through all the effects, so your ability to catch flaws is particularly powerful. This is also wisdom." said the Demon Prince.

"How can there be so many flaws in a person's life? Prince Demon, you think too much." Shariputra said.

"Ha... that's okay. Although he is a defeated general, he really has a way of speaking. However, I have roughly understood it." The Demon Prince stood up and flew downwards.

He went to find Li Qi.

Only Jing Wuzhen, who was seriously injured, looked at a loss.

She supported her body and said a little weakly: "Ahem, Buddha, what are you and the Demon Prince talking about?"

A simple warrior could not understand the conversation between the two Riddlers.

However, compared to Shariputra and the Demon Prince, this kind of dialogue is just right, simple, clear, and everyone can understand it.

"Okay, don't think so much, rest first, don't worry about that, what we have to do is over." Shariputra said with a smile, gently touching Jing Wuzhen's wound.

With the Buddha energy in his hands, the injuries began to be gradually healed.

Only Moggallana stood there and sighed: "Have you been ignored... It seems that my practice is not enough."

"Okay, don't take it too seriously. The demon prince's demonic thoughts are too deep. Although this is also the reason for his strength, this kind of obsession is not a good thing after all." Shariputra patted Moggallana on the shoulder.

"What about Young Master Li Qi?" Moggallana asked.

Shariputra smiled and just shook his head.

The next moment, the sky breaks through the clouds!

Originally, the sky had been shrouded by the black mist of the Demon Prince. However, when the Demon Prince landed at the lowest level, the black mist was torn apart, the light pierced the haze, and the dawn appeared behind the black curtain of the sky, as if an iron rod had burned through. The ice, the barren mountains and ridges are all yellow and rose-colored, and the sun announced by thousands of rays of rays has finally emerged from the abyss of light.

The Demon Prince's body flew directly out from the ground below.

His eyes were quite serious.

He has discovered that Li Qi used eleven demon kings to fill his body with gods, and then used Shinto methods to promote himself, showing some kind of 'god' qualities.

But...this isn't right.

As we all know, all 'gods', including star officials, are born, and there is no way for you to become a god without dying and being reincarnated.

unless--

"Unless you really die once." Li Qi said, and then stood in front of the Demon Prince.

His momentum is still rising and his promotion is not over yet.

Only then did Li Qi realize that... the promotion to the third level might even last for millions of years. During these millions of years, he would gradually gain complete 'reality', possess thoroughness, and maybe even ' Absolute's immortal nature.

Beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements——

This is probably the best explanation for the third grade.

Moreover, the speed of his promotion may make all the beings in the world look down upon him, right?

"How dare you kill your own soul and then recast it... without going through the reincarnation of the underworld, directly tying yourself to the earth of the world and becoming 'half god' and 'half earth', Li Qi, Li Qi, You are so courageous." The Demon Prince looked at Li Qi, his expression obviously losing his usual 'plainness'.

On the contrary, there was a twinkle in his eye.

If the Demon Prince was indifferent when he was standing on the top of the mountain before, then now he is like a climber who has seen the 'mountain' again. Although his overlord foundation has even been shaken, the Demon Prince himself seems more excited... ...It can even be said to be 'manic'.

"I originally thought that no one in this world could win me, but Li Qi, Li Qi, I really don't know how to describe my feelings. I was supposed to challenge you here, but I beat you here. , but once I fight with you and interrupt your promotion, you will lose your prime status, and I will lose a chance to have a feast in the future." The Demon Prince changed his usual demeanor of sparing words like gold, and narrated himself in a somewhat long-winded way. Mood.

"Okay, Demon Prince...or I should call you by your name, Moro Shanfan. Are you anxious?" Li Qi called out the Demon Prince's name for the first time. He used to call him by his title.

However, this name is not a secret. Li Shiwei often calls him "Uncle Mo" because she also knows the real name of the Demon Prince.

He never hid his name.

This name is actually quite big. Moro is the title of the 'Demon of Heaven', and Fan means 'Lord' and 'All Things'. 'Shang' is his name, and the others are modifications.

So, if you understand it in plain language, the full name of the Demon Prince is 'Shang, the Lord of All Things Born from the Demon of Heaven'.

"Anxious? Oh, you're right, I'm a little out of control." The Demon Prince took a deep breath, leaned on his crutches again, and said, "So, how did you think of doing this?"

"Think of it? I don't know. I don't have this memory yet, and I don't know when I arranged it. If you want to know the answer, you should ask the Great Witch Chongnian."

"I'm afraid it's not just that. There is also Yun Fang. The divination on your daughter is invalid. Is it Yun Fang's hand? How long ago was it arranged?" The Demon Prince asked.

"It's not good to ask too many questions. If you want the answer, go find them. As I just said, I don't know anything now. My memory has been dismantled by myself, just to avoid being exposed. After all, if you want to do such a big thing, you need courage." Li Qi smiled.

"I understand. Then... the doubts are almost solved. Now I am not your opponent. I will leave first. Next time, I will not be so embarrassed." The Demon Prince stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Qi smiled and did not stop him.

While the two were talking, his cultivation and essence were constantly improving.

The promotion has begun and will not stop in the next millions of years.

Li Qi could not even describe this feeling...

The third grade is a qualitative change.

The current Demon Prince is definitely not his opponent.

He has truly stepped into the 'high grade' and has become an existence that can be called a 'powerful person' no matter where he is, even enough to look down on the so-called Overlord Daoji.

Of course, it is only temporary. The Demon Prince is in his current state. It is estimated that he will try every means to catch up.

The conversation with the Demon Prince did not last too long. Almost after finishing this paragraph, the Demon Prince left and disappeared in an instant.

And Li Qi closed his eyes.

Memories flooded into his mind.

So that's it.

Li Qi knew that he had a plan, but in order to prevent it from being leaked, he split these plans into pieces and turned them into instincts in an incomprehensible way.

"The god in the body actually has this use. Although I have been reminded many times, I am really a genius." Li Qi felt the information that seeped out from the wreckage of the god in his body.

As mentioned before-

Everything that happened has happened.

Even if it is traced back and reset, then all this has happened, but it has become a bunch of "information sent from a distant place, I don't know where it came from".

Even if it has no roots or sources, it exists.

Through this method, things are reset.

Then, these sourceless information, which is meaningless in the eyes of the magic, becomes the key to this plan.

Yes, it is meaningless in the eyes of the magic.

The magic believes that the world is nothingness, so this information is meaningless, while Li Qi believes it is real. This difference in thinking is the reason why the demons are tricked.

It is difficult to describe how it is done, let alone describing it, it is even a little difficult to understand.

Simply put, Li Qi used things that "did not exist" to foreshadow himself.

An event happened.

Then, the power of the third rank backtracked it and made it "never happened".

But in fact, it was like opening a box and then closing it again. The box had been opened once after all, and the things inside had already been seen, and the information had already leaked out.

If you must say it, it was like a "time thief".

Stealing information from the cracks in time.

A person with the ability to backtrack, when facing an enemy, can fight with the opponent first, then die, and then backtrack, relying on the "strategy" that has been fought once, to gain an advantage in intelligence.

When Li Qi was a fifth rank, he used this trick to make a great name for himself in various war zones.

This trick can also be used in scientific research.

Continuously trial and error with the same raw material, backtrack when it fails, and then start over, you can obtain scientific research intelligence from continuous backtracking.

Then, from the perspective of the Demonic Path, this world itself has no reality, and the illusions of retrospection are naturally meaningless.

However, Li Qi got his own answer, that is, all of this is real, and everything that happened is real.

The third rank of the Demonic Path is completely different from the third rank of Li Qi in this respect, and their magical powers will also be different because of this.

So, taking advantage of this "difference in cognition", he seized the flaw of the Demonic Path, secretly transmitted the message from the gap in time, and still perfectly executed the plan without "his own memory".

The Demon Lords created a storm of thought with Li Qi as the core, which happened to be what Li Qi wanted, and even the pre-processing was helped by Li Qi.

When Li Qi came to the Dream City, the second thing he did was to slaughter here.

It seems that he was overwhelmed... Of course, in fact, he was indeed controlled by anger, otherwise it would be impossible to hide from the eyes of the Demon Lord.

This is the "clever" thing. Everything Li Qi did was "from his heart." He himself didn't know the plan, but the coincidence of all the settings allowed him to execute it according to the plan.

His killings and subsequent transformation plans made the City of Dreams aware of Li Qi's existence, making Li Qi the undoubted core.

The Demon Lords took advantage of this and arranged a thought storm, embedding Li Shiwei into it, trying to open up Li Qi's defenses, and finally turned defeat into victory.

However, when Li Qi was shaken by Li Shiwei, the demon kings rushed into his inner world and were blocked by Li Shiwei who resisted.

It is indeed possible for Li Shiwei to take action, and this is the only variable in the plan.

But Li Qi chose to 'believe'.

Facts have proved that Li Qi made the right bet.

After that, using the connection established by the 'thinking storm', Li Qi, as the core set up by the demon kings, directly took the opportunity to usurp the 'symbol' here, and used this as the core to transform himself into a 'half earth creature'.

After that, he ate the Death Demon Daoyun. In this way, he took the initiative to eliminate his own soul and died here, but he did not die completely. This death was to allow the inner world to be attached to the 'world'. Became 'half god'.

The death demon Daoyun completely killed Li Qi, but Daoyun himself did not know how to kill. This was 'cheating'.

Then, Li Qi directly usurped and mastered the Death Demon Dao Yun, completing his rebirth in a state of 'half god, half earthly'.

In the end, without the interference of high-quality beings, he turned half of the dream city into his own dojo, refined the eleven demon kings as gods in his body, reshaped the inner world, and turned all things into 'reality'. This serves as the basis of Taoism and reaches the third level.

Although it hasn't arrived yet, it is already a certainty. It will probably only take about a million years to become a complete third grade.

From the beginning, the demon kings had already made a mistake when choosing their purpose.

Of course, success cannot be achieved without the help of powerful people.

Although it was agreed that those above level 4 could not interfere, in fact, no matter whether it was the witchcraft or the demonic path, there were many hidden tricks behind it. Even the agreement of ‘no interference’ was itself part of the secret trick.

Zhu Fengdan's brother, Li Qi's uncle, Prince Changqin took action to help Li Qi survive this disaster, and even gave Li Qi a chance to become a third-ranker.

I really have to thank my elders. This is the advantage of being born in a great tradition. I guess the teacher has played a lot of role behind the scenes.

The birth of a third-grade person can be seen just by looking at the world.

Li Qi could even feel countless eyes looking towards this place. He probably attracted all the attention of Jiudao.

It seems that only the Demonic Way suffers. Half of the City of Dreams was refined by Li Qi and used as a dojo. This is one of the foundations of the world.

But... the devil can't be considered a loss.

After all, the Demon Prince also made money.

Moreover, Li Qi is still not sure whether the 'Five Aggregate Demon' who improved his true knowledge is real.

If it's true……

Well, it's hard to say.

It's not over yet.

Thinking of this, Li Qiluo returned to the ground.

On the ground, Li Shiwei was waiting for Li Qi.

She has returned to the fifth level, and the murderous aura brought by the Death Demon Dao Yun in her body is gone.

Of course not, it had been eaten by Li Qi.

However, before that, Li Qi had some admiration for his daughter.

It's really hard to imagine.

How did she endure being burdened with the death demon Dao Yun that was activated by the demon kings?

With this in mind, Li Qi reached out and touched his daughter's head: "Look, we still have a tacit understanding. We didn't discuss it with you in advance this time, but... we did a good job."

"In this way, I can grow old with peace of mind, right?" Li Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief, a little stiff, but still brought up her sense of humor and wanted to say something witty.

"Well, you have to thank the stone, right?" Li Qi squatted down and reached out to touch the jade pendant hanging around Li Shiwei's waist.

The seal on the jade pendant was immediately lifted, and you could see that there were many cracks on it.

Shitou also immediately made a voice, "Zhuren... me, how did I do?"

Li Qize said: "It's very good. If it weren't for you, Shi Wei wouldn't be able to withstand the thought storm created by the demon kings. Although she calls her parents, I know that you have a share of the credit. Thank you, I owe you a favor.”

"It would be great if I could help the boss. After all... Zhuren, you know, I have always wanted to tell the boss that in this world, it's not just... Zhuren you who care about her." Shitou said.

"Well...thank you." Li Qi said thank you to Shitou again.

Baoyu has the power of pure heart, but it is really hard to resist such deep evil thoughts.

Li Qi gently touched the cracks on the jade stone and restored them all.

Li Shiwei also looked at the stone with a complicated expression.

"Okay, you go ahead. Let's talk about the celebration when we get home." Li Qi said, "It will probably take a while for your mother to come out of seclusion. Go back and have a good rest for a while. You have to know that you can survive it. A lot of people are helping.”

"Well..." Li Shiwei didn't know what to say for the time being, so she just nodded.

She already knows that since she left, she has been trapped in the devil's trap... However, there are people behind her father, and she is just acting as a pawn.

Many of her things were actually guided by the magic. When she had evil thoughts because she couldn't help her parents, she had become a flaw in the eyes of the magic for Li Qi.

But fortunately, she survived, and Li Qi also completed the final turnaround with the help of his elders.

"You also saw that this world is not as good as you think, but... it is not as bad as you think. It is colorful, black and white, so there is this universe, and there are all these things now. This is nature." Li Qi sighed.

This world is undoubtedly real.

In any case, regardless of whether it is real or not, those things that happened are real.

Nothing in this world is a "fake".

This view is actually very strange. After the third grade, Li Qi should have the ability to erase existence, and can easily trace back all things below the fourth grade as "illusory things".

But he didn't have this idea at all at the moment, and in fact, he didn't have this ability.

Unwilling, don't want.

Li Qi felt that he must respect the "reality" of all this, this is the answer he found.

This answer is not a constraint, but Li Qi just wants to do so.

He has a sense of ‘respect’ for the reality of this universe. Such respect makes Li Qi unwilling to easily use his ability to interfere with the fate of others.

As a third-grade person, Li Qi must be a more peaceful person, at least... more kind than the indifferent look when he was a fourth-grade person.

He has recognized the importance of mortals. As a powerful person, he clearly knows that there is no essential difference between mortals and him. He treats them equally and gradually becomes important in his eyes.

In this way, after watching Li Shiwei leave, Li Qi's figure gradually disappeared.

However, he did not leave the world, but came to the sky.

There are two phantoms there.

"Master, and... father-in-law." Li Qi bowed and saluted the two phantoms.

Yes, ‘father-in-law’.

There is no doubt that there is only one person who deserves this title, and that is the powerful person who gave birth to Shen Shuibi, Sun and Moon True Lead Ding.

Or his name is ‘Yang Zhenqian’.

Yang Ning inherited his surname. Similarly, Shen Shuibi inherited her surname from Luofu Niangniang. Although they are sisters, they are still divided into different surnames according to their nature.

Of course, it is a bit strange to say father-in-law, because in essence, the Sun Essence and the Moon Essence were born from the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron, so they should be called mother-in-law.

The two sisters are essentially two powerful people who had intercourse. Their divine thoughts and principles blended and touched each other. Luofu Niangniang placed the essence of the two in the belly of the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron. After gestation, she opened the lid of the cauldron and then manifested them into the form of Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit. They were born as seventh-grade.

Generally speaking, the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron is the mother.

But at this point, gender is really not important.

Although under the fundamental rule of the universe of "Yin and Yang Qi", most races are divided into two genders of Yin and Yang, but there are always exceptions in the vast outside world. In fact, many races have more than two genders. Some have only one, while others have three, five, or eight. A family has more than ten people practicing group marriage.

Let's not talk about the issue of multiple genders. Let's just talk about reincarnation. Many Bodhisattvas have changed their genders 17 or 18 times. They have been reincarnated for hundreds of lifetimes. They were men yesterday and women today. They have never changed their genders. They are all born at birth. How can we judge whether they are men or women now?

Therefore, for the powerful, there is really no need to care about this. Just call them whatever you want. Just call them according to their current gender.

In fact, you don't have to call them, but many traditions are left over from the ancient times. Just treat them as etiquette.

Li Qi was thinking about these things in his mind, and at the same time he stood solemnly in place, waiting for the two seniors to speak.

The first one to speak was the prince Changqin.

As the eldest son of Zhu Rong, the elder brother of Zhu Fengdan, and the uncle of Li Qi, although he and Li Qi are not familiar with each other, it must be only Li Qi's one-sided unfamiliarity.

In fact, for Changqin, he has been paying attention to Li Qi for a long time.

So, he said: "From today on, you have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities."

"It should be so. I can get here. Uncle, Wushen Mountain and my father-in-law have also spent a lot of effort, especially now that it is wartime, I am afraid it is even more difficult." Li Qi bowed his head and said so.

"It's all trivial. Your promotion depends on you in the final analysis. We can only pave the way for you, but we can't help you walk. And you are also very competitive. Wushen Mountain has helped countless people pave the way, but only a few can walk the whole way." Changqin said.

At this time, Yang Zhenqian also spoke, but the phantom said: "Moreover, I will also remember you for the Luofu Mountain incident. But I'm serious, you are really brave. For Luofu Mountain, you dare to be the vanguard to detonate the human-witch war... This is really, I can't help but sigh."

Yes, although the bomb of the human-witch war had been planted long ago, Li Qi himself was definitely not qualified to provoke the conflict between the two sides, but no matter what, the fuse was definitely lit by him.

This also requires courage, and a lot of courage.

"Father-in-law, you are joking. It doesn't matter who can trigger the explosion. If it's not me today, there will be others tomorrow. In the end, as long as you want to fight, there are ten thousand reasons." Li Qi immediately shook his head and refused to take the blame.

Prince Changqin interrupted the conversation and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. There is no point in talking about these things. Li Qi, do you know why we didn't leave?"

"Is there any task to be assigned? Please tell me directly, uncle." Li Qi said immediately, "It's just... uncle should also know that if I advance in this way, I must go to the Desire Realm. So, regarding the matter of supporting the battlefield immediately, I am afraid that I can't join the battle of the third rank."

Li Qi inherited the Daoyun of the Death Demon, and used half of the Dream City as a dojo to advance to the third rank. He must go to the Desire Realm to settle some things, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Don't worry, I also know this. If you want to go to the Desire Realm, I won't stop you. However, before that, your cultivation needs to be stabilized. I have a treasure here that can help you quickly stabilize your cultivation and shorten your stabilization time." Prince Changqin said, "You have to be careful. The disaster that Master Yan said may not be over yet."
