Hidden Thread

Li Qi looked at Zhu Fengdan, then at the thunderous power brewing in his hand.

This is the power directly bestowed by the thread of cause and effect.

At this moment, Li Qi borrowed the power of the Little Heavenly Master through the connection of cause and effect.

"Your master was prepared. Alright, do your best." After saying that, Zhu Fengdan cast a Method Formula and then patted Xia Li Qi: "Now the hidden danger in your body has been removed. Whether you can resolve it or not depends on yourself. In the end, you still have to walk your own path. I'll be going now. Let me make it clear first, if you enter the cycle of reincarnation, I will come to find you, but I will not protect your true spirit. You can decide where you are reborn. Whether you become a pig, sheep, cow, or horse, you can Form Transformation yourself."

After speaking, Zhu Fengdan left the Immortal Heaven and returned to Witch Xian's side.

When he was by Witch Xian's side, he was very proper and well-behaved, without any of his usual carefree attitude.

Clearly, even Zhu Fengdan wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the face of Witch Xian, who was on par with Haotian. He was wild and unrestrained, not a fool.

At the same time, Zhang Zong, the Little Heavenly Master, who was light-years away, suddenly felt his heart pound with fear.

At this moment, he was helping Li Qi perform the duties of a commander, a job that Zhu Fengdan had entrusted to him many years ago, namely, 'impersonating Li Qi '.

To be honest, this job was far too easy for him.

The Little Heavenly Master was already stronger than Li Qi, and his Technique Method was particularly adept at clearing large-scale battlefields. When he made his move, he would stroll leisurely and casually make his way, and the Lightning Pool would expand, instantly engulfing the battlefield and annihilating the enemy army.

Human Path sent many fifth-rank officials to fight him, including two fifth-rank generals, other gentlemen, and even a fifth-rank official.

Langguan were close ministers who served the emperor. They were usually trained as important ministers of the Human Path's inner circle. The "Vice Minister" that we often hear about is actually a type of Langguan. In addition, there were also Zhonglangjiang and others, but all of them served the emperor.

While they are called companions, they are actually being trained. Each one of them, once released, will become Grand Official, capable of ruling over countless realms.

If Li Qi were facing them, and if he was unlucky and there wasn't a powerful figure here to trace back his past, he might also fall into trouble. After all, Li Qi's background has been almost completely figured out by the Human Path, and they all came with intelligence.

Unfortunately, they were facing Little Heavenly Master.

The Little Heavenly Master's background is known worldwide, yet no one can target him.

Thunder Method, the origin of all magic, has no weaknesses. So what if you know its origin?

Li Qi, this kind of Shaman, is a typical eccentric with extraordinary mechanisms. He has extraordinary mechanisms. If one cannot see through his manipulation of cause and effect, his ability to become the Heaven's Will, and the special abilities of the Star Officials and other Dao Lineages within him, and as Shaman, he has too many strange supernatural Divine Ability and the ability to kill at first sight.

However, the weakness of the mechanic is that once the mechanic is figured out, it's only a matter of time before someone can figure it out.

The Little Heavenly Master is different; he's a pure numerical monster, showing you his background and even giving you a copy of a book on Thunder Method so you can take it home and learn it yourself.

If you want to beat him, you have to fight him head-on.

As for the Little Heavenly Master's direct attack... it can suppress the Demon Prince. If it weren't for the Demon Prince's excessive Daoist aura and bizarre mechanics, the Little Heavenly Master's attributes would be virtually unmatched by any opponent of the same level.

The same Technique Method, when he uses it, is ten times stronger than yours, or even more.

The same attack would kill Li Qi, who is so fragile, but Zhang Zong might not even break his skin.

His Law Power reserves are comparable to those of Shaman, his mana regeneration speed is astonishing, and his continuous output ability is almost inexhaustible. He can output at full power for decades without taking a breath.

Moreover, its durability is terrifying. Due to the characteristic of Thunder Method as the "origin of all magic", it has almost "immunity" to almost all Divine Ability and Technique Method.

There's nothing fancy about it, just constant Thunder Method bombardment until you die. And these Thunder Method are all different, with thousands upon thousands of different types of lightning.

There are countless combinations of various thunder techniques, including Five Thunders, Five Elements Thunders, Yin-Yang Thunders, various divine thunders, as well as unorthodox Thunder Method such as Palm Thunders and Liver and Gallbladder Thunders. There's bound to be one that suits you.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of the duty of controlling the execution, the Little Heavenly Master had a much easier job than Li Qi; for the past few decades, he had essentially been on vacation.

Anyway, since others are in charge of everything from beginning to end, and the Great Shaman will make him appear to be Li Qi to everyone else, he just needs to keep quiet and act like a master, and no one will recognize him.

Although it was quite painful, unlike Li Qi, who was gloomy and brooding, Little Heavenly Master Zhang Zong was a typical sunny boy, talkative and cheerful. Making him silent for decades was actually a bit painful.

But there's nothing else.

But... just today, he suddenly felt that his own power, his own Dao Lineage, and a place far, far away, had formed a connection that transcended time and space.

"Wait, this aura... is it Li Qi?" Zhang Zong immediately sensed the source of the aura.

But he was immediately taken aback to find that this was not something he could control.

The disguise Divine Ability originally helped him 'become Li Qi's has now, to some extent, caused him to 'merge' with the real Li Qi.

This is... a substitute mission?

Shaman possess a method of substitution, which allows them to completely replace others by impersonating them. This means they can completely replace the other person in terms of existence, turning them into an unknown entity, while the Shaman himself becomes that person.

This is called "substituting one person for another," completely replacing the other person. It can even follow the cause-and-effect relationship to modify other people's memories as well. In this way, you completely replace that person, and the other person will be forgotten by everyone, and no one will recognize who they are.

The Shaman himself can replace his existence; this is the Shaman's strange Divine Ability. It is not without reason that Shaman are perceived as sinister.

However, this will not change the true cause-and-effect relationship, nor will it have any further impact.

It was originally just a minor Divine Ability for low-rank users, and it was unlikely to be effective at the fifth rank, since the memories of fifth-rank users are not so easy to modify.

But in the hands of the great shaman, this small Divine Ability played a different and wonderful role.

At this moment, in terms of causal relationship, Zhang Zong and Li Qi are temporarily regarded as one person.

Therefore, Zhang Zong could clearly feel that his power had been 'requisitioned' and was being forced to increase.

Damn it, they made me impersonate Li Qi. I thought they were short of people, but thinking about it carefully, how could the Shaman Path be short of a fifth-rank Master Slayer? They could just pull one from somewhere else.

By having himself take the place of Li Qi, he was subtly trying to emulate the real Li Qi through the act of impersonating him!

Damn, my power has been forcibly increased, this feeling... this feeling, it's like aligning with the Dao!

Li Qi is forcing himself to merge with the Dao!

Stop! He hasn't even finished his fifth-grade Dao Path yet, and he doesn't want to advance, let alone advance in such a idiotic way as the Dao Integration stage!

In his panic, Zhang Zong discovered that everything was completely out of his control.

He impersonated Li Qi, but ended up looking like the real one!

But on Li Qi's side—

"Wow!" Li Qi couldn't help but exclaim.

What the hell is this?!

What incredible power!

If Li Qi's base attribute is 100, then the power surging over at this moment has a base attribute of at least 50,000!

The fusion of Li Qi and the Little Heavenly Master made him, in that instant, a fusion of a mechanic monster and a numerical monster!

Furthermore, through the method of "harmonizing with the Dao," he was promoted to the fourth rank.

The current Li Qi is not only difficult to deal with in terms of his mechanisms and his various methods are bizarre, but he also temporarily possesses the same terrifying attributes and values as the Little Heavenly Master. He can even mobilize the Five Thunders!

As Li Qi's momentum increased, he not only achieved Dao integration, but also made up for his shortcomings.

Meanwhile, the Human Dao Sage quietly observed Li Qi's condition.

If Li Qi had just advanced to the fourth rank, then he estimated that he would only need five moves to kill Li Qi.

As Shaman, Li Qi's physical body was too weak and he relied too much on his inner world. Three moves were enough to break through his Divine Ability defenses, one move would sever the connection between his inner world and his physical body, and the last move would easily kill him.

As for Li Qi's methods? Those seemingly simple killing techniques and various unpredictable supernatural Divine Abilities are laughably naive in the eyes of Perfected Person.

These things are considered strange only by those who don't understand them, but this Perfected Person is clearly very familiar with these methods, even more so than Li Qi. The avoidance mechanisms are too simple for him.

But at this moment, it's not that simple.

Li Qi's physical form was no longer weak; it even carried a hint of Daoist aura.

All his weaknesses have been addressed, and he no longer has any openings that can be easily broken. However... the openings still exist, but Li Qi has gained the buff of 'Technique Method immunity'.

All Technique Method, when they strike Li Qi, must pass through the protective Thunder Method. As the origin of all spells, Thunder Method themselves have terrifying resistance to other Technique Method. Even a former third-rank Perfected Person would have no way to cheat when facing Thunder Method of the same level.

When facing a numerically superior monster with no weaknesses, there is absolutely no option to 'take shortcuts'; you can only confront it head-on, and everyone has to fight it out head-on.

While confronting this head-on, they also had to deal with the various tricks of the Shaman.

If these were the only strange methods available, he could either break or dodge them, but he couldn't break them at this moment because Li Qi's Technique Method all carried the characteristics of Thunder Method. Even if the flaws were blatantly obvious, he couldn't break them within one or two moves and could only dodge.

This directly leads to various traps and even murderous intent existing even with overwhelming numerical superiority...

The level of difficulty has increased by more than a hundred times! It's simply impossible to calculate.

If he were a third-rank cultivator, he wouldn't be afraid. But now he has been forced to merge with the Dao, and his cultivation level has dropped to the fourth rank. In essence, his cultivation level is no different from the other party's.

"Sigh, when I made my move, I fell into a trap. This calamity was my fate. Oh well, I'll just have to face it." He shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

Even though Li Qi has so many advantages, can you say that Li Qi has a high chance of winning?

Incorrect.

Even with these advantages, Li Qi's chances of winning are only 70/30, and that's 70 Perfected Person and 30% for Li Qi.

It can only be said that without these advantages, Li Qi would definitely have lost; he just has a chance of winning now.

Zhu Fengdan's departure directly signaled the start of the battle.

Under the watchful eye of the 'Celestial Being', the two crickets, forced to merge with the Dao, began their insect battle.

The immortals must determine whether the Human Path or the Shaman Path is stronger.

This will make it easier for him to choose allies.

However, the gap between the two was like heaven and earth before.

One was a highly respected Legalist School Perfected Person, while the other was just an ordinary fifth-rank official.

At this moment, under the pressure of the Immortal Heaven's Dao Integration, they rose and fell, and actually came to the same starting line.

The Perfected Person was well aware of his situation and knew where his way out lay. Although he looked down on the immortals, who were beasts that devoured civilizations without knowing hunger or satiety, he still respected their power.

There were no unnecessary words, no small talk.

Li Qi was not quite clear about his situation, but Zhu Fengdan had already told him the mission objective.

I've already given you the cheat code. Now go and take down a fallen Perfected Person on your own.

The brain, which had been revisited 2.5 billion times, came alive again.

Li Qi even began to sense the thoughts of another person.

That thought was speaking in a faint, indistinct way...

The content of the words... seemed to be. "Fuck your mother! Li Qi, you bastard! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be karmically linked with you!"

Uh, this way of thinking doesn't seem very friendly.

However, Li Qi also learned the source of this way of thinking.

Little Heavenly Master.

"Alright, I didn't want this either. But things have come to this, so let's face it together. We're fighting a lowly Perfected Person, so we can't afford to fight amongst ourselves," Li Qi said.

The thought on the other end remained silent for a moment.

Soon, Li Qi felt that a projection had appeared in his mind.

Zhang Zong must have chosen to go into seclusion there and devoted himself entirely to this place.

"Although this is a trivial matter, I've never fought Perfected Person before. Tell me, could the two of us also try our luck with the Demon Prince's Overlord Dao Foundation?" Zhang Zong said.

Despite his cursing, the Little Heavenly Master, knowing it was an opportunity to challenge Perfected Person had fallen to a lower realm, resolutely chose to accept it.

A fifth-rank official defeating a third-rank official—is there anything more satisfying in this world?!

The Demon Prince challenged all opponents of the same rank throughout the world, from the Subordinate Seventh Rank to the fifth rank, defeating countless opponents and laying the foundation for his invincibility. He Overlord Dao Foundation, absolutely invincible among his peers, and no one could defeat him.

But even he hasn't done something like that!

Damn, it's on fire!

Seeing the Little Heavenly Master go from cursing to being enthusiastic, Li Qi no longer tried to hide his feelings.

Anyway, that's how things are; we're already here.

He had already shown Xiantian the ways of dealing with Shaman Path in the previous period, and now he needed to show Xiantian the combat power of the Shaman Path.

If both are done well, then the Shaman Path will gain one more first-rank ally.

This is a tremendous achievement, and Li Qi might be able to use it to free Rabbit and Li Shiwei from the ravages of war.

He doesn't like fighting, and he won't get as happy as the Little Heavenly Master, but he's not afraid either.

On one side are Li Qi and Zhang Zong, both of whom are of the same body and have dual SIM cards and dual standby status, and are at the fourth rank of Dao Integration.

On the other side was a Legalist School Perfected Person had just fallen from grace and had already made up his mind.

The next moment, the battle began within Xian Tian's body, and a large number of restrictions filled Li Qi's surroundings!
