Li Congxin is certainly not being alarmist when he says this.
Dormammu controls the entire Dark Dimension, and is at least one level higher than Thanos in terms of power level.
Being targeted by a boss of this level is a sour feeling just thinking about it.
And the energy that got into his body after killing Dark Apostle also made him feel restless.
Compared with the threat that could kill him at any time, or even kill his whole family, mere business competition is certainly nothing.
However, this does not mean that business competition is not important. If Li Congxin wants to become stronger and consolidate its social status, financial support is absolutely indispensable.
For example, the expanded Pym Laboratories is an out-and-out gold sink, a bottomless pit! If you want to fill it up and get the research results you want, in addition to time, you also need to invest a lot of money.
However, things have to be prioritized. Li Congxin's top priority now is to first figure out the reason why Dormammu is targeting him and the hidden dangers he has.
And when it comes to who knows Dormammu best in the world, it is definitely the Ancient One.
The matter should be resolved sooner rather than later. He must find the Ancient One immediately to find out!
From New York to Himalayas, it takes several hours by plane, but through the portal of the temple, there is only one step between the two points.
After taking Li Congxin through the portal leading to Kamar-Taj, Daniel did not continue to guide him, but directly handed over Li Congxin to another black man who came to greet him, and then turned back to his New York Sanctum.
It can be seen that there is a clear division of responsibilities among the guardians of the major festivals, and they will not easily cross the line.
The black man responsible for welcoming Li Congxin on Kamar-Taj's name is Mordo. He is the guy who followed the Ancient One and Qi Qi in the movie. After completing the negotiation with Dormammu, he left angrily because of a conflict of ideas.
But at least until now, he is still a good student who is loyal to the Ancient One.
Under the leadership of Mordo, Li Congxin once again saw the kind-faced Ancient One in a quiet room of Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One is standing at the edge of the square, looking at the mountains in the distance. Today she is wearing a black magician robe, her hands are behind her back, and she is playing with a sandalwood folding fan, which seems a bit inconsistent.
You must know that the temperature here is not very high. Even the mages practicing here are wearing autumn clothes, including the Ancient One himself.
She still keeps fanning herself in such weather, which shows how much she likes her fan.
As if sensing the arrival of Li Congxin, the Ancient One waved his hand, while Mordo winked at Li Congxin without saying a word, then quietly turned and left.
It was only at this moment that the Ancient One said, "Have you learned the teleportation magic?"
"No." Li Congxin spread his hands and walked forward quickly. "In fact, the purpose of sending me to Siberia is not to learn magic, right?"
While talking, Li Congxin had already come to the Ancient One's side, and looked with her at the towering mountains in the distance.
"Even if you want me to break through myself within the limit, you must at least give me an environment that can be called the limit."
Li Congxin shook his head slightly. "Forgive me for being crazy, Siberia's temperature is not harmful to me at all."
"After ruling out this possibility, the only reasonable explanation is that everything I experienced there was your deliberate arrangement."
The Ancient One nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.
Li Congxin continued unceremoniously, "I think Hulk was not teleported. You just sent me to a place that Hulk would definitely pass by, so that I could meet him there, thereby stimulating some originally hidden energy in my body and attracting Dark Apostle to Dormammu. It can be said that you have good intentions."
The Ancient One nodded slightly. "You are an excellent young man, but the more excellent a person is, the more conceited he is."
"I have discovered the hidden dangers in you a long time ago, but if I don't let you see the danger, no matter how much I say, you may not really realize its seriousness."
Li Congxin chuckled, "So you plan to let me get in touch with those Dark Apostle first, see how powerful they are, and get some more terrifying news out of their mouths. Seeing and experiencing with your own eyes is definitely more convincing than any words."
After chatting with Li Congxin for a while, the Ancient One suddenly discovered that in addition to being extremely handsome, the little guy in front of him was actually more likable than any of her disciples.
Maybe it's because of Li Congxin's natural appearance.
Perhaps it is because they are originally Chinese and are deeply influenced by five thousand years of cultural heritage, so they are more likely to resonate with each other.
Or maybe Li Congxin is smart enough and talking to him saves time and effort.
Anyway, the Ancient One has excellent senses for him. Without waiting for Li Congxin to ask, he took the initiative to tell the answer to his next question, "I discovered early in the morning that there is a mark of Dormammu in your body. By looking back in time, I can basically confirm that it was left when you first entered Quantum Realm."
First time entering Quantum Realm?
Li Congxin couldn't help but think of how he accidentally entered Quantum Realm, and when he came out, he was covered in blood and almost died inside.
It's just that the memory of the Quantum Realm's line is still incomplete to this day, and I can't even figure out what happened in the Quantum Realm.
The Ancient One continued, "Because your strength was too weak at that time, the mark was invisible. Later, through the intervention of a strong will, it was completely sealed and hidden to the point where even I could not detect it."
If this is the case, then how did several Dark Apostle find him in Siberia?
And that strong will, is it Cosmic Source Will?
Regarding this point, Li Congxin did not ask, because he believed that even if he did not ask, the Ancient One would answer his questions.
Sure enough, I heard the Ancient One continue to say, "However, the power of the seal depends on your own strength to maintain it. Once you spare no effort to take action, you will no longer be able to suppress Dormammu's mark, thus creating a great attraction for Dark Apostle within a certain range."
Is that so?
Li Congxin frowned slightly and asked a key question, "I remember that ten years ago, I tried my best to attack more than once, but I didn't see any Dark Apostle."
"It also takes time for Dormammu to develop Dark Apostle." The Ancient One shook his head slightly. "Back then, there were only two Dark Apostles in the New York generation, and I have already eliminated them all."
After a slight pause, the Ancient One continued, "In fact, the reason why Dark Apostle is so powerful is the power given by Dormammu. And with his greed, he will not hesitate to spread his power and develop apostles all over the world. This shows that he is bound to win over you, even on the earth!"
Li Congxin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. What is there in him that Dormammu must get at all costs?
At this moment, he only thought of one possibility.
God-Tier BGM System!
