Communion
In the outer void, within a small cluster of worlds, there are two fifth-rank worlds. These are the three fifth-rank worlds that are stubbornly resisting, and they are the last obstacle to Li Qi's unification of the surrounding world clusters.
Fifth-Rank Great Expert is already powerful enough to roam the universe freely. Under normal circumstances, there would be no danger for them. They can become supreme powerhouses in countless worlds without any restraint. They can enter any world at will and stage a scene of "an Immortal Realm emperor in the city". But at this moment, they are trapped here and cannot get out.
At this moment, Shadow Moon Cold Teeth said, "That's right. The three of us also have orthodox lineages. Even if a Taixue Doctor came, he wouldn't be able to do well. Let alone the fact that there is no one of Taixue Doctor's level. I heard that the Shaman Path Envoy is only a sixth-rank, and being able to command those ordinary fifth-rank World Lords is already the limit."
"We're facing three opponents alone, and we're surrounded by formations I've set up. If we can delay them for a few hundred years, we'll be saved when reinforcements arrive. We'll also make a great contribution and might even be granted Cultivation Method."
Wang Wu nodded. "Yes, there's no need to rush out to die. Just hold the line. The formation here is impregnable. We still have three people. It's impossible for an ordinary fifth-rank cultivator to break through."
As a martial artist, Bin Kuang suddenly waved his hand and roared, "How humiliating! When have I ever suffered such humiliation?!"
As he spoke, he unleashed a wave of energy that exploded in the void, creating a trail of light and flame that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Wang Wu shook his head. "So be it. Being frustrated now is for the benefit later. War is a foregone conclusion. If you and I hold our ground now, we are loyal subjects. Being able to plant this nail in the territory of Shaman Path is a great achievement. We might get one or two positions in the Ministry of War. Even if we can't become generals, becoming a deputy general is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of normally."
The other person and the beast did not respond.
After all, this was their original goal, and it was Wang Wu who first proposed it.
At this moment, after the Human Dao envoy withdrew, the entire world was thrown into chaos, with many people vying to pledge their loyalty to the Shaman Path.
At this time, these people already had some connection with Human Path, especially Bin Kuang, who was originally a disciple of a general, but was expelled from the sect because he was too arrogant.
If they can join forces and defend a position, it will definitely be beneficial when the Tang Kingdom's heavenly army arrives. The Tang Kingdom has always been fair in its rewards and punishments, and they might actually be able to use this opportunity to truly enter the inner workings of Human Path. Even if they are not at the core, being able to enter the Dao Lineage is already a tremendous benefit.
Therefore, while everyone else was vying to serve them, they took advantage of the time when the Shaman Path was not yet ready to react, spending more than a decade setting up a formation to hold their ground and reap greater benefits.
This can be considered... foresight, since the Tang Kingdom is definitely going to come, and if this investment is successful, it is destined to yield a rich return.
"Therefore, the three of us must be vigilant to prevent being defeated from within. If we can withstand the current pressure, then a bright future awaits us," Wang Wu encouraged.
The other person and beast nodded, putting aside their resentment, and began to diligently maintain the formation.
It's only a few hundred years, nothing to a fifth-rank official.
However, at that moment, they suddenly looked outside at the same time.
Someone's coming. Is the enemy about to launch a pincer attack?
They quickly sat up straight, and the surrounding formations suddenly rose up!
Countless runes rose up, the Yama Peak floated, vast and boundless, amidst the endless villages, banners fluttered and clouds stretched, like a rainbow pointing downwards, with faint swords flashing and fire flowing.
The formation expands, instantly transforming from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, a thousand to ten thousand, all becoming infinite, as solid as a rock.
Meanwhile, after months of traveling through the void, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi finally arrived at this place.
Sitting in the car, Li Qi pointed to the world cluster that had already formed an array and said, "Yu'er, this is the place. Three fifth-rank cultivators gathered together and set up an array while no one was paying attention. If we were to attack them head-on, we would probably suffer heavy losses. But now that you've arrived, can my husband and I take down all three of them?"
Shen Shuibi glanced at the formation over there and looked around. "Hmm... Li Qi, you're only a sixth-rank, so I'm afraid you can't be of much help. If I'm alone... I should be able to take on three opponents by myself, but there are formations around us... so my chances of winning aren't very high."
"Look at what you're saying. What do you mean I'm useless? If I wasn't confident, why would I have asked you to come here?" Li Qi smiled and then revealed his true knowledge.
At the same time, a Chaos Qi suddenly unfolded within his body, not condensing but spreading out.
This is an imitation of the chaotic cloud of that deity.
"Open your heart and try this method," Li Qi said with a smile, then directly revealed the essence of the discovery.
"Hmm...?" The rabbit reached out and used a similar method to create a wisp of Chaos Qi.
Then, the two wisps of energy mixed, and suddenly, she sensed Li Qi's thoughts.
By transforming oneself into chaos and then mixing the Chaos Qi together, it is equivalent to the two becoming one to a certain extent, allowing their thoughts to communicate briefly.
This is also Divine Path Method, which Li Qi learned and explored on his own from the Divine Path Method of the Fire Official. It is said that this method is commonly used in various praise ceremonies to unite the hearts of all worshippers and make their faith more devout.
"It's strange, this feeling... Is this the world you usually see?" Shen Shuibi looked around, feeling both amazed and a bit of a headache.
A vast amount of information.
Countless streams of information overwhelmed her; she couldn't even distinguish one from another. Things from unknown sources were linked together by these messages, as if... countless incomprehensible symbols were flashing before her eyes, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Apart from the faint light emitted by the characters and circuits, it was pitch black, yet it did not feel oppressive... On the contrary, it gave one the illusion of being in the starry sky.
Vast and boundless, shimmering with light, it evokes a unique sense of beauty, but at the same time... my head is starting to ache.
These things were constantly conveying something to her, and she could spend some mental effort to analyze what these messages represented, but... there was just too much.
There are too many, billions of pieces of information, each representing something in the outside world.
This information indicates the speed at which a particular dust particle is moving.
That information is analyzing the frequency of the sound.
Another piece of information came from Li Qi's gaze. The light reflected from each movement of his eyes could even be used to deduce what Li Qi was currently seeing.
Ah, it's my own face.
Turning her head to the side, she thought she knew her Ghost Chariot very well, but at this moment, the Ghost Chariot was emitting hundreds of millions of pieces of information, every parameter was clearly identifiable, and even the dimensions of the mortise and tenon joints were marked.
The world has lost its clarity; everything seems to be made up of information.
Normally, Shen Shuibi's habit is to first observe an object, and then, based on its impact on the outside world, estimate its specific dimensions, such as its length, weight, and intensity.
But things are different now. In the endless stream of information, she can't see any specific things at all. However, even if she can't see them, she still knows all the information about these things, including their inherent attributes. Then, she can use this information to assemble in her mind and imagine what that thing looks like.
Yes, it's just imagination.
She doesn't 'see' anything. Seeing requires eyes, but now her eyes are covered by an almost infinite flow of information. She can't see things, but she can perceive the distance, size, mass, and other intrinsic properties of things around her. At the same time, she knows the wavelength of the reflected light and the frequency of the sound waves, and thus calculates what these things would look like in the eyes of a 'normal person'.
Li Qi lives in this kind of environment. He is constantly exposed to this flow of information. His world is not intuitive; everything is something he 'imagines' based on the flow of information.
"If this is what you usually see, then I understand why your deductive reasoning ability is so strong. It really is something you've been forced to develop..." Shen Shuibi exclaimed.
Then, she deliberately cut off this sensory synchronization.
She was really not used to it and couldn't stand it. Her calculation ability was not weak, and could even be said to be very strong. She was considered strong among the fifth-rank people, but she felt dizzy and lightheaded when faced with such an information flow.
The main problem is that 99% of this information is bloated and useless, which is very mentally taxing.
Just like when a person is typing, they only need to look at the words on the screen, and sometimes they might glance at the keyboard. Other information is not that important. But True Knowledge Dao Charm will constantly tell you the size and coarseness of the dust in the computer case, the speed and temperature of the fan, and even the intensity of the light outside the window, etc., and you are not allowed to refuse or block it. You can only get used to it.
Li Qi, for example, spent a very long time learning to ignore information he didn't need and focus on what he wanted, which is the source of his extraordinary self-control.
"These are minor matters. The key is that I can provide you with this information whenever you need it. Did you notice the information about these formations in that short time just now?" Li Qi pointed to the World Cluster Formation over there.
This is a super array set up by another Rank 5 using the World Cluster as its base. It is no simple array. Even though there is a True Knowledge Dao Charm constantly transmitting various information about this array, Li Qi still cannot understand what this information is.
But it doesn't matter if Li Qi doesn't understand it.
As long as Shen Shuibi can understand it, that's fine.
Shen Shuibi glanced at the formation over there and suddenly realized what Li Qi was trying to do.
Li Qi would act as Shen Shuibi's eyes and ears, Li Qi out most of the useless information and giving Shen Shuibi the only useful parts.
In this way, the rabbit can precisely dismantle the great formation. At the same time, during the battle, it is equivalent to turning on a high-precision radar. Just like Li Qi, she can directly understand how the opponent's Technique Method works from a deep level the Technique Method it is released!
This gives them an extraordinary advantage in battle, which is why Li Qi, despite his poor combat skills, was able to fight the Demon Prince to a standstill and even manage to turn the tables on him in the end!
With this assistance, Shen Shuibi may no longer have a difficult time taking on three opponents alone.
"Hmm, that's something we can try." The rabbit nodded, then got up and stepped into the formation with Li Qi.
On the other side—
"They're here, one a fifth-rank and the other a sixth-rank." Shadow Moon Cold Teeth, being a ferocious beast, was the first to notice the arrival of Li Qi and the others.
Wang Wu, a cultivator of the Human Path, was somewhat puzzled. "One fifth-rank is fine, but a sixth-rank? What makes them think they're here to recruit us? This setup doesn't seem like a fight."
However, the martial artist, Bin Kuang, suddenly stood up, his Martial Dao Inner Qi bursting forth. He said recklessly, "Who cares about anything else? Let's fight first! Even if they're here to surrender, the stronger we are, the higher the price we can offer!"
"That's true. We might as well give them a taste of their own medicine. Shadow Moon Cold Teeth, you continue to maintain the formation. Bin Kuang and I will go and deal with them," Wang Wu said.
Shadow Moon Cold Teeth tossed a handful of runes to them and said, "Well, the formation will buff you. If you're having a tough fight, activate this Technique Method. Once I sense it, I'll also activate the formation's power to suppress the enemy."
"Alright." Without further ado, the two put away their runes and quickly flew towards Shen Shuibi's direction.
This arrangement is very reasonable.
There was no worry about anything going wrong, because based on experience from fifth-rank battles, these kinds of battles often lasted for months, with each side weaving a large web and gradually shifting the balance of power.
If it's this difficult in a one-on-one situation, it's even more challenging in a one-on-two situation. Even if they are at a disadvantage, they still have enough time to manipulate the formation. Therefore, having Shadow Moon Cold Teeth manipulate the formation creates a favorable position for the other two people and allows them to support each other from the side. If something happens, they can provide support from the side and also make the other side hesitant to use their full strength to fight for their lives, and they will definitely have to save 30% of their strength to protect themselves.
Everything was arranged perfectly.
Shadow Moon Cold Teeth also began preparations. As soon as he received the message, he would immediately activate the formation, draw upon the power of millions of worlds, and deliver a devastating blow to the opponent.
Everything was planned perfectly.
However, about three minutes later, Shadow Moon Cold Teeth suddenly stood up and unleashed his strongest escape technique! He even abandoned the formation and retreated directly!
The Heavenly Way Limit around him was suddenly increased, rapidly rising from the normal Heavenly Way Limit by 50,000 times!
In the blink of an eye, he had already traversed tens of thousands of worlds and rushed into the distant void!
This long march lasted for a full month, until he finally stopped at an empty, barren place.
Panting heavily, Shadow Moon Cold Teeth exhaled. This kind of escape technique was too much of a burden for him; a month of sprinting was already his limit.
But the moment he caught his breath, he froze.
"Hmm? Not running away anymore?" A cold voice came from not far away. Although there was no medium for sound transmission outside the realm, it still clearly reached Shadow Moon Cold Teeth's ears.
Looking back, he saw two people staring at him from about a thousand miles away.
One was a man, panting heavily, looking completely exhausted, so tired he was unrecognizable, resembling a dog.
The other one was a woman.
This is the woman who just killed two fifth-rank officials.
It only took one move.
(Happy Labor Day, everyone!)
