Where Did He Come From?

The data in the terminal is brand new.

In other words, in the eyes of the Nexus of All Realms, Li Qi is no longer the same Li Qi he once was; he is someone else entirely.

A completely new person, with no relation to the original Li Qi.

Is Li Qi still himself? Or is he Demonic Energy Clone?

When he came out, the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom asked him very nervously if he was really Li Qi.

At that time, he deeply believed that he was Li Qi, so he Life Flame to prove himself and gained the trust of the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom.

But now...

The Nexus of All Realms say no.

'He' may not be Li Qi.

'He' might be the being that the sorcerer god previously impersonated, the one who had the exact same consciousness, the exact same memories, and the exact same physical body as 'Li Qi'.

The real Li Qi remains trapped within the Five Aggregates, enduring countless torments, while he is merely a leaked copy, formed through the True Knowledge Dao Charm.

After realizing this possibility—

Intense fear gripped every inch of his body and soul!

His face turned pale, and he almost lost his balance. After staggering a few steps, he managed to grab onto a railing on the street.

His cultivation was disrupted, and his personal microcosm erupted into chaos!

This forced him to sit down on the spot, completely abandoning external influences and forcibly suppressing his Dao heart.

The problem may not be solved, but at least it will bring some peace for a while.

Two full quarters of an hour passed before 'he' finally calmed his Dao heart, but when he looked up, he found that the surrounding streets had been blocked off.

He then realized that when his Dao heart wavered, his cultivation seemed to have unconsciously dissipated.

The pressure from a seventh-rank official is enough to render all mortals within a radius of dozens of miles incapable of moving.

Fortunately, this was the Tang Kingdom. Before Li Qi's oppressive aura spread uncontrollably, local cultivators had already reacted and promptly sealed off his area of influence.

However, the price for this was obvious. He was now surrounded by a group of guards, including two seventh-rank officials who were probably in charge of the local security. They had all been drawn to Li Qi.

"Your Excellency." One of the two Human Way seventh rank stepped forward and addressed him with an honorific.

"I'm sorry, I know it was my mistake. I calmed down immediately. You can give me a ticket as punishment, and I'll handle it." Li Qi waved his hand weakly and said.

To be honest, he didn't even know whether he should call himself 'Li Qi'.

However, unexpectedly, the Tang Kingdom did not coldly hand over the ticket. Instead, they reached out and helped Li Qi up. "Don't worry, my lord. We won't punish an accident. It seems that your loss of control over your cultivation was caused by a loss of composure. Get up, we'll take you to the clinic. That will make you feel better."

Li Qi was somewhat surprised.

It seems that even within the rules of the Tang Kingdom, there is still a sense of human kindness.

But he immediately raised his hand and struggled to stand up. "You're right, I do need a doctor, thank you..."

"No need, take our car. But you'll need to register your identity and show your device first," the security chief said, helping Li Qi up.

Li Qi smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I just came from Baiyue and haven't registered my identity yet."

There was nothing he could do; he had the proper status to enter.

The Tang Kingdom maintained strict border controls, and passing through customs was no simple matter. Everyone needed to register, otherwise they would be unable to move an inch.

However, both the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom and Li Qi, who was sleeping up there, had identities from the Tang Kingdom, so they could easily pass the inspection.

The screening process is strict, but not harsh. There is only one requirement: you need to have an identity when you come in, a unique identity.

Even when Li Qi first came to the Tang Kingdom and entered from Dapeng, he had already obtained his identity a month in advance.

Li Qi guessed that the Nexus of All Realms might not often encounter such a situation.

A person with an identity passed through the checkpoint.

Then, after entering, he suddenly became a different person, and while his mind remained unchanged, he was completely transformed into another unrelated person.

Another seventh-rank security officer frowned and said, "You didn't register your identity? Did you sneak in? Impossible. No one can hide from the Nexus of All Realms. People who don't register their identities can't even cross the border. I advise you to register your identity honestly. Perhaps you think your identity is a secret, but there should be no secrets in front of the Nexus of All Realms."

There should be no secrets before the Nexus of All Realms.

The Nexus of All Realms watched over everyone, their every word and action, ensuring that everything conformed to the rules.

But as mentioned before, this rule is not inhumane; on the contrary, it is full of human touch.

Rules exist not to restrict freedom, but to preserve everyone's freedom to the greatest extent possible.

The boundary of freedom is the freedom of others.

In places without rules, the freedom of the strong can trample on the freedom of all the weak, but in places of Human Path, the freedom of the strong is also bounded, so as to ensure the freedom of the weak.

The Nexus of All Realms do this.

The only price is... a little bit of privacy.

Unfortunately, Li Qi can't even give him this much privacy now.

He really has no identity. If he were to explain this matter clearly, he probably wouldn't be able to leave. Once he escapes the notice of the Nexus of All Realms, a whole bunch of people would come after him.

There isn't that much time.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to explain this today. However, I will report back to you once I find a solution. I'm truly sorry." Li Qi apologized repeatedly, and then his body suddenly disappeared.

The two seventh-rank officials' expressions changed, and they suddenly used their Technique Method to try to capture Li Qi!

But it was too late. The Demonic Energy Clone had a slightly different property from Li Qi's physical body. Demonic energy was really good at hiding itself, otherwise Li Qi wouldn't have been able to hide the Demonic Energy Clone inside his body.

The demonic energy can invade people's hearts through this very method.

At this moment, Li Qi used stealth Technique Method combined with the characteristics of demonic energy to quickly escape from this place.

He fled in the direction of the sky.

Li Qi rushed to the Jade Road in the sky and knocked on the window.

The Jade Road suspended in mid-air opened, revealing the puzzled gaze of the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom: "Why has the young master returned again?"

"I'm afraid it will trouble Your Majesty for a while. Afterwards, the people of the Tang Kingdom may come to investigate. At that time, we can simply push that body out. However, Your Majesty will likely have to answer some questions. Just answer truthfully then," Li Qi said.

"Wait, what did you do?" The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom's expression changed.

Could this young master have gotten into a lot of trouble outside and now she's the one to clean it up?

It's not that serious. He revealed his identity as a young master. Even if he committed a terrible crime, the Tang Kingdom would notify Wushen Mountain to handle it. He certainly wouldn't overstep his bounds.

Executing or imprisoning a young master would trigger a war. The relationships within Wushen Mountain are not particularly close, but the master-disciple relationship is closer than that of large-scale education in a school.

Killing this young master will definitely provoke a powerful sorcerer, who will have his own network of connections, layer upon layer, which could easily involve a whole bunch of people.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. You can have them check my body. Okay, I have to go now. I'll be back in three days," Li Qi said to the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom.

After saying that, Li Qi did not explain further, but turned and left. This time, he did not land directly, but flew away into the distance.

A seventh-rank individual already possesses the ability to move within the Gale Layer.

The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom was somewhat unable to understand.

However, about half Chen later, several sixth-rank government officials flew towards her location, presumably using Secret Method to confirm the young master's movements.

"They've really come..." The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom felt a headache coming on.

She manipulated the Jade Road to greet the officials.

It seems that the trouble was indeed caused by that young master. The Tang Kingdom has always preferred to use investigators of a higher rank to carry out the pursuit. Since the young master is a seventh-rank official, a sixth-rank official will be involved to ensure the success rate of the pursuit.

"Seniors." The sixth-rank officials approached respectfully, but their expressions were serious. "We are currently—"

"We're investigating. I know he's in here. You can come and see for yourselves, but... he's not in good condition." The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom sighed and pointed to the Jade Road.

She dared not obstruct the Tang Kingdom's pursuit and search; otherwise, the next person to come would be a fourth-rank official.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Two seventh-rank sheriffs identified Li Qi inside and confirmed his identity through the characteristics of his soul.

After discovering the young master's identity and injuries, the two sheriffs explained the situation.

Only then did the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom realize what had happened.

Li Qi lost control of his cultivation in the lower realm and showed signs of losing his Dao heart. He was taken into custody by the local security officer, who asked him to register his identity, but he ran away.

This terrified them, as they assumed Li Qi was an illegal immigrant. They immediately notified their superiors and tracked him down within half Chen.

Fortunately, all the 'misunderstandings' have been cleared up. After scanning and identification by two seventh-rank sheriffs, Li Qi's identity has been confirmed.

The sixth-rank official smiled with relief, "It seems the truth has come out. It seems that this student encountered some problems, which forced him to return. You can see that he has already entered a state of deep seclusion. The situation must be very urgent, so there was no time to explain. I suggest that you take him to the clinic."

"Okay, thank you for the suggestion, I will." The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom nodded and saw off these dutiful officials.

That matter is now closed.

However, the doubts in the heart of the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom did not diminish at all. Although she was a fifth-rank official, she found that she could not see through anything when facing the mere seventh-rank Wushen Mountain Prince.

She knew nothing about the other party's Cultivation Method, Dao Path, or even their current strange situation.

She looked at the young master's body, which was now in a bizarre state...

What exactly is going on?

However, at that very instant, the physical body suddenly twitched its fingers.

The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom's heart skipped a beat.

"Young master? You've regained your consciousness?" she asked.

Her response was a cry of pain.

"Ugh—ah!" Li Qi's body suddenly stretched out his hand, as if a violent electric current had passed through it.

His muscles spasmed and twitched uncontrollably, as if his whole body was fighting with itself, one muscle struggling against another, his limbs like puppets with broken strings, or as if the puppeteer had gone mad, the angle and arc of the twitching causing his bones to make a violent cracking sound.

That wasn't the sound of cracking your knuckles; the sound was piercing, like bones cracking.

Indeed, that is the case.

"Young Master?" The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom frowned, reached out and grabbed Li Qi's body, which was immediately forcibly fixed and floated up, forming a cross shape to prevent him from harming himself.

This state lasted for several minutes before Li Qi finally opened his eyes.

Those eyes were bloodshot and had turned completely red.

"Your Majesty... I... I'm awake. Please let me down," the original 'Li Qi' said with a wry smile.

The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom then released Li Qi, causing him to fall to the ground.

He wiped his sweat and managed to sit down comfortably in Jade Road's seat.

At this moment Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom spoke up and asked, "Young Master, what exactly is going on? Your clone just left here, but you've woken up again. If that's the case, why don't you just stay here?"

"Since you came to the Tang Kingdom, you have been acting strangely in every way, my lord. What is going on? I hope you will tell me the truth. Furthermore, I have serious doubts about your ability to fulfill your promise."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't tell you right now, because... I don't know what happened either." Li Qi, who had just woken up, shook his head.

Li Qi pressed his temples, suppressing a severe headache, and said, "The king said my clone left here? I had no idea. I encountered some things before, and I was trapped in my mind. I tried many methods but couldn't leave that place. I lost my five senses and couldn't perceive anything. So, I don't know anything right now."

"You don't know? Then where did your clone come from?" The Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom frowned.

Regarding this question...

Li Qi took a deep breath and looked at the Sovereign of Lingxiao Kingdom: "This is also my question. I also want to know where he came from."

He fled frantically, fearing he would be caught by the pursuers from the Tang Kingdom.

Fortunately, this place is on the border, not far from Baiyue.

His reckless, rapid sprint allowed him to return to Baiyue in just one Chen. He even resorted to some self-destructive escape techniques to achieve this speed.

They crossed the border between Baiyue and Tang Kingdom.

The contrast is striking; they are separated by only a thin line. On one side, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, or what you might call the wilderness, while on the other side, there are towering buildings, or what you might call a steel forest.

Once he crossed that line, 'he' finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he subconsciously tried to activate something, he froze.

"Do True Knowledge Dao Charm?! Do you True Knowledge Dao Charm?!"

He shouted in a panic.

The True Knowledge Dao Charm, which I had always been accustomed to, vanished at this moment.
