Advancing to Fifth Rank

The accumulation is already sufficient.

Borrowing from the past, overdrawing from the future.

And so, they became wealthy.

With the help of that strange Jade Bead, Li Qi grasped the lingering shadows of the past and the gap between the future, and his Law Power increased threefold out of thin air!

This was not a forced increase in Law Power, nor was it a forced breakthrough of Li Qi's limits.

In fact, there are absolutely no side effects.

Unlike ordinary pills or heavenly materials and earthly treasures that increase cultivation, this doesn't require a huge amount of chaotic energy to be poured in and then painstakingly refined in seclusion.

Li Qi doesn't have time to refine it right now; he's fighting a war.

Moreover, it's not just about refining; this kind of forced increase in cultivation level requires a very long time of gradual assimilation, and even after refining, it still takes time to adapt.

It's roughly similar to... Nine dragons pulling a coffin, giving yourself a dozen injections of steroid hormones like Synthol to increase muscle mass.

Muscles do grow, but to use them flexibly, to truly transform them into a force that you can control, and to precisely execute all the movements you want, requires a long period of practice and the medication must be continued. Finally, it will take at least several hundred years to fully develop them.

This is why people like Li Qi are unwilling to use elixirs or treasures. For a super genius like him, the time required for refining and getting used to them might not be as fast as his natural growth, which would be a waste of time and energy.

Look at Liu Junyi, what kind of treasure could keep up with his cultivation progress? He doesn't need to deliberately strengthen his training every day. Just by eating, drinking, sleeping and cultivating, he can make great progress every day. Even ordinary people with treasures can't catch up.

However, it was only now that Li Qi realized this.

The reason we don't use treasures is simply because the treasures aren't good enough.

Zhu Fengdan considered the Jade Bead a treasure and directly pulled Li Qi's past, present, and future bodies, causing his cultivation to increase threefold out of thin air.

The increase in cultivation at this moment is perfectly harmonious.

It belongs to him, completely and utterly to him.

Even if it's only temporary, because he can feel the pearl being consumed and getting smaller.

To be honest, Li Qi felt a pang of heartache at the thought of using this precious pearl here...

Because, compared to Li Qi Qixiu's concern over such trivial matters, the resources consumed by this precious pearl seem far more terrifying.

The pearl is consuming itself in a way that Li Qi cannot understand or observe, breaking through the gaps in time and space, and reaching out to the past and the future to ask for cultivation.

This behavior... is like a civilization that spent the entire world's resources to build a super spaceship, then the spaceship burned up thousands of suns, traveled at high speed to the other side of the universe, and borrowed a Ninth Rank Magic Treasure from there.

Yes, it's a loan, and then there will be another trip like this to return the Law Treasure.

That's such a waste.

Li Qi began to feel sorry for him.

However, we cannot waste it.

Thousands of suns, they've all burned!

Can't you just smash the Law Treasure?

We need to use it right away!

Therefore, Li Qi sat down cross-legged and temporarily delegated command.

Then, with the help of his cultivation level which had tripled, he began to solidify his inner world!

He wants to turn the illusion into reality and break through to the fifth rank!

Li Qi's power began to erupt, and his cultivation level tripled.

But then I saw—

The stars return to the pole, the swaying wind points to the right, the energy rises to the Great One, the essence sinks to the Nine Springs, the Dao is nurtured, and all things take shape!

This is a unique characteristic of the Polaris Golden Core Method!

Li Qi used the methods of Daoism, taking his own Primordial Spirit as the center point, to reconstruct the Upper Heaven above the inner world!

At that very moment, heaven and earth were created!

Li Qi is the creator!

The heavens are extremely high, and a great sun bursts forth, melting gold and stone.

The moon shines in the sky, and all the yin energy transforms into rivers, expressing divine images in the eight netherworlds, merging with the vast transformations in the mist and smoke, filling the universe to spread images, and harmonizing the Primal Qi to achieve great merit!

The sun, moon, and stars—all the elements of the heavens are present.

Then go to the ground.

The earth was born, stretching 28 million li from east to west and 26 million li from north to south. The four cardinal directions were called the four wildernesses, and there were nine Yi, eight Di, seven Rong, and six Man tribes.

The earth is the origin of all things, giving birth and nurturing them. The five elements of the earth begin to be born.

When heaven and earth meet, snow, rain, clearing skies, thunder, lightning, fog, and rainbows burst forth between heaven and earth.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are all present.

The calendar, including sections on the solar terms, the hot season, the cold season, the winter solstice, the laws, and the calendar system, was completed. The calendar system, which resembles the sun, moon, and stars, was respectfully used to instruct the people on the proper times.

Earth, wilderness, pass, hill, rock, gorge, stone, dust, ravine, canal, wave, spring, lake, pond, stream, valley, creek, canal, well, and ferry, all began to appear in the world.

Numerous Heaven Creation appeared one after another, including auspicious clouds, sweet dew, intertwined trees, Lingzhi mushroom, blue phoenixes, birds flying wing to wing, crows, sparrows, swallows, doves, pheasants, horses, white deer, foxes, rabbits, and Zouyu.

Solemn and harmonious, joyful and lively, with birdsong and dance, the morning thunder, suddenly like a god.

Many strange phenomena appeared within Li Qi's body, but these should no longer be called 'strange phenomena'.

Because this is not an 'elephant'.

What is an elephant?

The image is a representation, therefore all that people imagine is called an image.

This character has the meaning of similarity or likeness, and can also refer to the behavior of imitation or the outward appearance of things.

Anomalies, by their very nature, refer to the emergence of entities that mimic other things, projecting a portion of their power.

But at this moment, these are not unusual phenomena.

It is a definite and real existence.

Turn the abstract into the concrete.

Li Qi had fully understood the essence of these things. The Chaos Well within his body continuously emitted Chaos Qi, which then differentiated. The differentiated energy formed matter, eventually creating a complete world.

But these worlds need a container to store them.

This container cannot be Li Qi's body, because real objects would burst Li Qi. Li Qi only weighs a little over 100 pounds, so it's already quite good that he can hold some air. If he were to hold real objects, that would be gallstones.

However, Li Qi had already made preparations.

His foundation is more than enough for him to advance, only his cultivation level is insufficient.

But now, with three times the cultivation level, it's more than enough for him!

A distorted space appeared within his body—

That's... the world barrier!

That's right, Li Qi had already analyzed countless world barriers and recorded their conditions.

It's all for today!

When it comes to understanding the world barrier, Yan Ke is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable. Yan Ke can even create another layer of world barrier outside of the existing one, compressing the world into the size of a bullet.

Li Qi didn't have that ability; it was the unique skill of the Yan Ke. However, he also learned a lot about world barriers from the Yan Ke.

Twisted, and then... reshaped.

Knowledge about space and boundaries flowed from my mind, forming Technique Method.

These 'principles' began to transform into laws and techniques.

Ultimately, it was manifested through Divine Ability powers.

The distorted space contains all the matter of the world, and then, through a mysterious connection, it maps to Li Qi's inner world.

Then, his body began to violently absorb the air from the outside world.

It is virtually impossible to transform the illusory into the real through cultivation alone; it requires external material to fill the void.

Therefore, cultivation is required to support this.

But his cultivation level at this moment is extremely high!

But then, the Sixth-Rank World surrounding Li Qi, which was on the verge of death, began to collapse!

The sky collapsed, and the earth's core caved in!

The entire world, countless substances—oceans, continents, mountains, deserts, gales—everything in the world collapsed toward Li Qi's body.

A massive, indescribable amount of matter was absorbed into the World Barrier in Li Qi's hand.

The world, on the verge of death, was kicked by Li Qi and plunged into death.

These substances were broken down into gas, which was then condensed and concentrated into chaos, losing all its original properties. Then the chaos further differentiated, transforming into the substances within Li Qi's inner world.

Moreover, one Sixth-Rank World is not enough!

Li Qi raised his hand and made a gesture within the World Cluster Formation.

The Liesu were activated, and several worlds flickered. These unguarded worlds were teleported to Li Qi's side and then exploded!

The matter within was drawn towards Li Qi by the power of the formation and the gravitational pull around him, accelerating towards Li Qi.

An infinitely accelerating torrent of matter!

Significantly increased temperature and heat.

The brightness of the starry sky began to increase, and the celestial matter, like a river of stars, washed out a bright light in the void.

The vast river of matter, stretching for billions of miles, all flowed to Li Qi.

He was like a void, taking all the matter that originally belonged to the universe into his small world.

He devoured several worlds—

With his cultivation and guidance, it became completely stable.

Li Qi's inner world has completely transformed from the illusory to the real!

From this moment on, he is a fifth-rank realm master and the Child of Destiny.

Moreover, it's even stronger than that.

He is not bound by the world, because the world belongs to him, not the other way around.

This is a genuine fifth-grade world. From the Heavenly Dao and the Principle to all the matter within it, everything belongs to Li Qi and is entirely his own.

Li Qi opened his eyes and found himself floating in the void, having plundered all the surrounding matter to create his own world.

What truly belongs to oneself is not simply moving the stone back; that merely changes the location of matter, while the composition of matter is still governed by another 'Tao'.

He destroyed these substances, disassembled them, reshaped them, compressed them into Chaos Qi, and then made them into the substances that Li Qi understood, so that they could conform to his Dao.

However, the formation is still there, but the World Cluster Formation has no foundation, so whether the world is destroyed or not is irrelevant.

Li Qi opened his eyes and took a moment to experience his current strength.

This time... it's more than a thousand times stronger.

Completely transforming the abstract into the concrete, the previously ethereal mountain mist is now a real mountain.

Within his inner world, there truly is now a sun, a moon, countless mountains and rivers, the Five Sacred Mountains and the Four Great Rivers, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

It's just floating in the void, and I'm not quite used to it.

Let me confirm the time... Hmm, more than three months have passed.

It's been quite a long time, but actually not that long; it's within an acceptable range.

So, Li Qi made a Method Formula seal.

A world suddenly expanded around him.

The manifestation was similar to a 'phenomenon,' like the unfolding of a Dharma image. Amidst a dazzling array of special effects, a world surrounded by a world barrier appeared beneath Li Qi's feet.

This world is not large, but it is undoubtedly a fifth-rank world.

Such worlds often exist outside the realm. Although they are not large in area, they are of extremely high quality. Even a single stone from one of them can be used as raw material for Ninth Rank Magic Treasure.

This is Li Qi's world at this moment.

After the world unfolded, the rich Spiritual Qi within it almost perfectly matched the point of 'Great Prosperity'.

As Li Qi stepped into his own world, the World Barrier naturally disintegrated.

This world is like an organ of Li Qi's, just like his hand, which he can control at will, as easily as an extension of his arm.

But at that moment, Li Qi suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Emptiness, an extreme emptiness of cultivation within the body!

The previous three times the cultivation level has disappeared.

Therefore, Li Qi suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his body.

But when he took a deep breath, he saw countless pure Qi emanating from the mountains, rivers, sky, and earth, which Li Qi inhaled into his mouth and nose.

His cultivation level has been further enhanced, and... he is much stronger than before.

It is even more powerful than three times the cultivation level of the previous one.

But this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the world.

Li Qi's life will not end until this world is exhausted, Li Qi's cultivation will be forever abundant, and Li Qi will always be in his best condition.

Even among those at the fifth rank of the Shaman Path, few people possess a world as complete and of such high quality as Li Qi's.

Li Qi was also surprised by this. Why was the quality of this fifth-grade world so high and the Dao so perfect?

However, he quickly discovered the reason.

Because... Li Qi saw that the reason his cultivation had disappeared was that the special power in that Jade Bead had been exhausted.

Thus, the connection with the past and the future was severed.

The Jade Bead, having exhausted its power, shattered, and all its materials, along with other substances, merged into chaos and entered this world.

Seeing this, Li Qi put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer. "Thank you White Chen Fox King Bodhisattva..."

However, there was no response.

After thanking him, Li Qi changed to another form of greeting and thanked him again, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

After doing all that, he sat cross-legged in his own world.

This world is full of life.

Although there is no life or plants yet, it is likely that they will soon appear, because the vibrant life of the world is giving birth to the first life.

In a few thousand years, primitive life should emerge. If Li Qi is willing to accelerate its emergence, perhaps a few decades will be enough.

But none of that matters anymore.

Li Qi simply sat down and took a look around the world.

Then, she closed her eyes again.

The aura of the World Cluster Formation once again enveloped Li Qi.

Li Qi was sensing something.

Sensing the situation at the front lines.

He's already a fifth-rank official, does he expect to still be commanding from home?

Li Qi wants to go to the front line in person! Before Liu Junyi breaks through, he will rely on his current strength to deliver a heavy blow to the Human Path defense line.

Liu Junyi won't break through so quickly, but Li Qi broke through first, so naturally he has to make the most of it.

Having confirmed that the situation at the front remained unchanged, Li Qi set off without hesitation.

The Liesu bodies here were eaten along with the world when Li Qi devoured it, and he is going to the nearest Liesu.

Then, he directly descended upon the front lines through the Liesu, Human Path the fifth-rank humans to witness Xia Li Qi's power at this moment!
