Method of Resolution

The six great shamans remained silent, each with a different expression.

Some were curious, some were expectant, some were kind, and some were appreciative.

However, Zhu Fengdan looked unhappy, but she patiently watched Li Qi's performance.

All the great shamans stopped looking at Li Qi's heart lake.

Actually, this can be controlled. The reason they can see into other people's hearts is simply because they are too powerful and have too high a perspective.

When your senses are sharp enough to clearly distinguish even the electrical currents in your brain, then when you look at those mortals who still rely on their brains to think, their thoughts and ideas are no longer a secret.

However, you can choose not to watch it.

Just like it is now.

They were all eager to know what kind of thought Li Qi would have to go through to come up with an answer that would satisfy everyone.

The situation is awkward.

Li Qi either sided with the other great shamans and persuaded his teacher not to do anything foolish in a moment of impulse.

In that case, he would definitely be hung up and beaten by Zhu Fengdan in front of everyone.

Many of the great shamans had no doubt that Zhu Fengdan would do such a thing; when angered, this fellow was capable of anything.

However, if Li Qi sides with Zhu Fengdan will be very happy, but that would mean Li Qi would have to take the initiative to challenge their disciple, even knowing that the great shamans are unwilling.

Without a doubt, no matter how good-tempered the high priests were, or how much they thought highly of Li Qi, they would not tolerate Li Qi provoking his superiors to his face. Li Qi's fate would still be to be hung up and beaten.

As for standing in the middle as a peacemaker, or staying out of it if it doesn't concern you?

Sorry, Li Qi only has two choices.

The two choices of standing in the middle as a peacemaker and remaining indifferent are essentially both 'standing on the side of the big shots'. If Li Qi does so, there is no doubt that Li Qi will still be hung up and beaten by his teacher.

It's difficult to avoid offending anyone and also extricate yourself from the situation.

Knowing the difficulty of this matter, the great shamans were very curious about how Li Qi planned to handle it and perfectly resolve this dilemma.

As Shaman, resolving such matters is actually a demonstration of ability, since Shaman are inherently required to coordinate all the gods.

Li Qi also broke out in a sweat.

After bowing for a few seconds, he suddenly stood up straight.

He shouted loudly, "Esteemed teachers, please witness my demonstration of magic!"

After speaking, without waiting for the great shamans' consent, he sat down on the ground, his body forming a miniature world that appeared around him, creating a virtual landscape.

He was only an eighth-rank cultivator, and his human body and microcosm had not yet reached a substantial level, so it was merely an illusion.

However, that's enough.

Several high priests stared at him curiously, wondering what tricks he was going to play.

But then, Li Qi's personal microcosm began to evolve.

Heaven and earth exert their influence, and yin and yang interact fiercely.

It fills the air subtly, as if descending from heaven.

It rained.

All things are mixed together in the same wave, the vast expanse of black and yellow has no substance.

Thunder rumbles in the air, shaking the courtyard; lightning flashes through the windows, illuminating the room.

The boiling cauldron roars as the swift horse gallops, driven by the raging winds.

How could the sudden overflow of the Southern Mountain lead to the gushing of the Northern Sea?

The high banks are boundless, and the plains are vast and deep.

When one sincerely prays to the Dao, the supreme spirit of the mountain god appears.

Li Qi suddenly manifested a divine form, with the sun and moon as his eyes, mountains and rivers as his body, and ten thousand waters as his blood vessels.

It is as clear as the heavens, as peaceful as the earth, and as bright as the sun and moon.

But then we saw this Dharma body stretch out its body!

Standing at the center of heaven and earth, where the Central Peak resides, I knock on the spirit of the Eastern Peak, open the gates of the Western Peak, scoop up the feathers of the Southern Peak, and gather the peaks of the Northern Peak.

He gazes upon the vast, the Unseen mountains, and supports the towering pillar peaks that reach for the sky.

Seated on the jade altar, one can gaze down at the stars of the South Pole and observe the vast, shallow lake.

Breathe in the wind and thunder that rise and fall, and look down upon the ever-changing forms.

It reaches the pinnacle of the development of all things, and life never ceases.

Gazing upon the universe in a single moment, and witnessing the movement of the sun, moon, and the four seasons!

This divine body, within Li Qi's microcosm, held the sun and moon, embraced the heavens, and swept across the eight directions, its divine energy overflowing like a radiant light, gradually expanding to the point where the entire microcosm could no longer bear it!

Several high-ranking shamans were commenting from the sidelines.

"The foundation is very solid. The human body is a microcosm of a whole state. This is probably the result of presiding over the grand ceremony. It is indeed very good, but this reward is a bit too much for him to digest."

"My body is already full, stuck here. Hmm, there are some drawbacks, huh? It needs to be digested slowly. It should take about twenty years?"

"No, look at his hands, there's something there, it's that wisp of Daoist charm from just now."

The high priests were exchanging words, but Zhu Fengdan remained silent. He had just been stifled by the high priests' words and was now simply watching Li Qi, wanting to know what he was going to do with his ritual.

However, Li Qi remained calm.

The plan was already in place before we even started; now we just have to follow it.

When performing the ritual, one should immerse oneself completely in it. At this time, the mind is calm and undisturbed, and one doesn't need to think about anything else, but only need to focus on the task at hand.

True Knowledge Dao Charm.

At the same time, that Cosmic Space Dao Charm also began to take effect.

"Huh, he's analyzing the Daoist principles?"

"How could a mere eighth-rank expert possibly perform an on-the-spot analysis? Isn't he afraid of burning out his brain?"

"No, he's not analyzing with his brain. His brain is only responsible for summarizing. The real analysis is done by another wisp of Daoist energy in his hand. Hmm, what a strange Daoist energy. What is its nature?"

"Did Zhu Laosan find it for him? That doesn't seem likely. Does Zhu Laosan even have such good stuff?"

The high priests looked surprised.

True Knowledge Dao Charm; it's somewhat peculiar.

In their eyes, once this Daoist energy was activated, it began to delve deeper into the world itself and then gather the information it detected and sent it to Li Qi.

This penetration is very slight, roughly equivalent to applying some medicine to the skin, and then the small molecules of the medicine penetrate the skin and enter the body, something like that.

Basically, it has little impact on the world itself; it only provides very superficial information.

However, that applies to the world, and this world is the entire world.

The rules governing the world are so firmly established that they are beyond description.

Therefore, if True Knowledge Dao Charm, it becomes quite significant for some weaker things, as it can penetrate deeper into them.

Just like it is now.

"He's dissecting that Daoist principle; is he really going to analyze that Cosmic Space Dao Charm on the spot?"

"It seems true. Could he have really fried his brain?"

The high priests whispered among themselves.

As for Zhu Fengdan, he has already reached out. An invisible force surrounds Li Qi, and as soon as Li Qi experiences a mental breakdown, he will immediately stop all of his actions.

To True Knowledge Dao Charm is like having a microscope.

This microscope can extract information and intelligence from Jesse and tell it to Li Qi.

However, to derive research results from this information, Li Qi still needs to perform calculations and make summaries himself.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed by too much information.

But...

I'm used to it.

To be honest, Li Qi was used to it.

True Knowledge Dao Charm was constantly feeding Li Qi information about the surrounding environment, and Li Qi had used True Knowledge Dao Charm to calculate countless things.

From the demonic energy of Chanzhi Zhi to all the information about the Grand Ceremony, it was actually True Knowledge Dao Charm was analyzing it.

Li Qi had long been accustomed to being bombarded with massive amounts of information, and he had developed a resistance to it.

Contrary to what many great shamans had predicted, he did not become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. On the contrary, he began to unleash a portion of the power of the Cosmic Space Dao Charm.

Within the microcosm of the human body, his Dharma body expands and becomes increasingly vast.

With his arms bent and elbows supporting the east and west poles, and his head touching the sky, even when his body was bent and sitting cross-legged, the world still seemed too small to contain this divine body.

The human body as a microcosm has reached its limit.

However, this was Li Qi's plan.

Suddenly, layer upon layer of Sacrificial Ritual unfolded around the body of the deity.

The Dharma body also began to move, starting to perform a mysterious and ancient dance in this narrow little world.

"Myriad Dances? He can do that too?" A great shaman immediately recognized the fluctuations emanating from it.

"It's not that he knows how to do it, it's the effect of that wisp of Cosmic Space Dao Charm. That Daoist charm is a remnant of the Wu Yu lineage, and we don't know when it originated..."

"Myriad Dances, no wonder."

Simplicity, simplicity, is the beginning of Myriad Dances!

Simple and big. Square, four directions. General, OK.

The "Wan" dance, performed with feathers and shields, is used in ancestral temples, mountains, and rivers, hence its use in all directions, hence "used in mountains and rivers."

Because mountains and rivers are located outside, it is said to refer to the "four directions," which means to speak of the four directions (from the Book of Songs).

Therefore, the commentary on the Book of Rites states. "The sacrifices to the four directions refer to the sacrifices to the four cardinal directions."

The commentary on the "Grand Music Master" states. "The four directions refer to the Five Sacred Mountains, the Four Sacred Towns, and the Four Rivers." Therefore, apart from these, there are mountains and rivers, hence the mountains and rivers dance separately from the four directions.

The Myriad Dances was originally a dance used to worship the four directions, and it was meant to praise the vast space and land.

That Cosmic Space Dao Charm was created by Myriad Dances!

This was originally an ancient tradition of the Wu Yu lineage, but for some reason it had been hidden until it was discovered by Li Qi.

Of course, the Myriad Dances was not lost. Some high-grade Wu Yu already possessed it, and the Cosmic Space Dao Charm hidden in the bells was merely a record of some of the essence of Myriad Dances.

It's likely that someone used this rhyme to store a portion of the Myriad Dances, added their own interpretation, and sealed it within the bell, so it can be read later.

But perhaps something special happened in between, causing this item to be scattered everywhere, and by fortuitous opportunity, it ended up in the hands of another ordinary Wu Yu, Yu Mengniang.

Yu Mengniang herself didn't recognize the treasure, but Li Qi eventually identified it and rented it for three years.

At this moment, Li Qi brought out the essence of the Myriad Dances within the Cosmic Space Dao Charm.

He doesn't know the Myriad Dances, but that doesn't prevent him from directly using Daoist rhymes.

The Daoist essence is a treasure that can be used directly.

Then--

The four directions are vast.

Li Qi's personal microcosm suddenly swelled up significantly!

He used the Cosmic Space Dao Charm to forcibly expand his personal microcosm, allowing him to encompass a larger area.

With a greater capacity to withstand pressure, Li Qi will immediately have more room to maneuver.

The performance continues.

After that came the Guangyang Grand Sacrifice, which Li Qi was familiar with!

He re-evolved the Guangyang Grand Sacrifice within his body, displaying his own power.

However, this time, it was not a sacrifice to the mountain and water gods of Guangyang.

Instead, it's a sacrifice to oneself!

Many of the great shamans understood his thoughts!

Expand the microcosm of the human body and worship oneself with the Great Sacrifice Method!

Li Qi is determined to rise to the top in one step and directly reach the peak of the eighth rank!

"How dare you! Are you taking advantage of the fact that we won't let you die, so you're deliberately risking your life?" A high priest was taken aback, understanding Li Qi's thoughts.

Zhu Fengdan finally smiled, waved her sleeve, and exclaimed with satisfaction, "What else can we do? Do you really think you can just watch my disciple fail and die? Hurry up and protect him!"

The other high priests looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do but join forces to protect Li Qi.

The road Dao Path can only be walked by oneself; you can't go far by relying on others to pull you along.

Simply walking alone is extremely difficult and dangerous.

That's why we need a master as a guide to pass on the Dao Path from generation to generation, so that future generations can move towards the ultimate goal of the Great Way.

Li Qi is now desperately trying to climb the ranks.

But it wasn't exactly a desperate effort.

With six great shamans protecting him, even if he fell, he wouldn't die.

Who usually gets this kind of treatment?

The other great shamans of Wushen Mountain are not tools; everyone has their own affairs and no one is so idle as to protect the lives of eighth-rank officials every day. To put it bluntly, even for young masters with extraordinary talent and wisdom, having a fifth-rank official take care of them full-time when they are at the eighth rank is already a huge investment.

As for having a third-rank official take care of you, unless your master volunteers to work overtime, you can only dream about it.

It can be said that with six great shamans helping at the same time, no more than two people in the entire Wushen Mountain have received such treatment.

Taking advantage of this, Li Qi recklessly used the Great Sacrifice Method to enhance his cultivation!

His path to the seventh rank was already paved; all that remained was the gradual accumulation of effort.

Water-milling technique?

Sorry, no thanks.

Li Qi poured floodwater directly into it!

As his cultivation level soared, the six great shamans outside began to coordinate and balance the surrounding Dao principles for Li Qi.

In order to prevent Li Qi from being killed by the chaotic internal energy, they even resorted to temporarily modifying the physical rules of the world.

Within Li Qi's personal microcosm, strange changes continued to unfold.

Li Qi's Dharma body expanded, like a giant that blotted out the sky and covered the earth!

The Inner Gods, each with their own rituals.

But then I saw the Dharma body stepping on the thick earth, lifting up the Great Clarity, stretching across the layers of the sky, and bursting into the deep sea!

Then suddenly he reached out, stirring up three thousand to rise up, and swiftly marching towards ninety thousand, with the towering Taiyue Mountains on his back and the vast Yangtze River in his arms!

Red banners flashed like lightning, drums thundered like lightning, and crimson flames rose and smoke billowed!

Its majestic form is magnificent, towering over the Milky Way.

Above, it touches the vast sky; below, it stretches endlessly.

The sea swelled and boiled, and the cliffs and peaks were scattered.

Traversing the earth's network, maneuvering the heavens' net.

A riot of colors fills the eight directions, and shines over half of the four seas!

As Li Qi's Dharma Body expanded, his cultivation level rapidly increased to the peak of the eighth rank, just one step away from stepping into the seventh rank.

But at that moment, Li Qi suddenly stopped.

Reaching the seventh rank is not so simple; it requires further preparation.

So he stopped without hesitation, did not try to force his way through, and directly ended the fortuitous opportunity that the six great shamans had forced to create for him.

After the performance, Li Qi's breathing returned to normal.

The other high priests also breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qi regained his composure, then stood up and looked at the great shamans surrounding him, whom he had ruthlessly exploited as free labor.

Then, with a triumphant smile, he bowed deeply and said, "Esteemed teachers! Now you won't cause trouble for my teacher, will you?"
