Chapter 622 Touching the Fifth Level
After the old horse died, Li Qi once again put all his energy into the formation.
Shen Shuibi also returned to the battlefield soon.
The Zhanglu Squad and Shen Shuibi played a huge role in the battlefield, especially in the current situation. The Zhanglu Squad can be assembled together. So many fifth-grade warriors attack the city together, which can cause great pressure on humanity every time and damage a large number of humanity's living forces.
In such a round-robin battle, humanity can only be forced to continue to shrink the defense line.
Shrinking the defense line requires fewer troops, which can rotate more people, giving humanity more time to rest.
But the price is that gradually, the witch has approached the inside of the war fortress, and the strategic depth left for humanity is not enough.
Strategic depth is very important, representing the high mobility of humanity. In the initial stage of the war, humanity relied on this trick to suppress the witch.
As the strategic depth decreases, the opportunities left for humanity are getting fewer and fewer. Once the witch can see the cardinals of the worlds or the large golden platform, it means that humanity can no longer hold on.
But surprisingly, the morale of humanity is still high. Although they began to shrink frantically, their fighting spirit did not show any sign of weakening.
This is not the kind of "will under desperate situation", the kind of desperate will of trapped beasts can be seen.
At this moment, the performance of humanity is more like "I can still turn around".
Yes, they seem to have a trump card. All the concessions and evacuations they have made now are to better preserve their living forces, preserve their strength, and wait for a counterattack.
But to be honest, Li Qi can't figure out, apart from Liu Junyi, what else can make them turn around?
So, what they are waiting and delaying is Liu Junyi's promotion to the fifth rank?
Then, I have to hurry up.
Li Qi can clearly perceive that after he comprehended the line of cause and effect, his cultivation has seriously failed to keep up with his progress in the Tao. According to normal circumstances, he should be in seclusion at this moment, accumulating cultivation, and then preparing for promotion.
However, after all, he is on the battlefield now, and many things still need him to take charge of them personally, so it is really not easy to be in seclusion.
However, just after he had this thought——
He suddenly received a message from the ‘Alliance’.
And the person who sent the message was Zhu Fengdan.
Li Qi was shocked.
You know, this is the first time that his boss has sent him a message since the war started.
Before, Li Qi was beaten to vomit blood on the battlefield, and he also learned to manipulate the line of cause and effect, but these feats did not disturb him.
Why would Teacher Zhu come to him for no reason at this time?
So Li Qi hurriedly chose to respond.
He pulled out a wisp of consciousness and came to the area of the ‘Alliance’.
Here, a wisp of Zhu Fengdan’s spirit was already waiting.
Li Qi hurried forward and bowed: "Meetings, Little Si Rong."
"Well, almost five-grade?" Zhu Fengdan's spirit glanced at Li Qi.
"Yes, almost." Li Qi nodded.
"Good, but the opponent is also coming soon. Are you ready to deal with it? After Liu Junyi is promoted to the fifth rank, your current situation will be reversed. You may lose directly. Is there a way to win quickly?" Zhu Fengdan asked again.
"No." Li Qi shook his head decisively.
Really not.
The human way of shrinking the front line is watertight. Even if he is micro-managing every day, there is still no way. The entire war fortress plus Gansong City is like a steel turtle.
Li Qi can only scrape and scrape continuously, trying to open a hole for him before the time bomb in this steel turtle explodes.
But he can only scrape slowly like this. There is no flaw to exploit. It is unrealistic to want to achieve results in one go.
"It's probably too late." Zhu Fengdan said.
This made Li Qi's face look a little ugly.
It's not easy to fight like this. Are we going to lose?
"But, have you ever considered exchanging your son with Liu Junyi? You can also take this opportunity to advance to the fifth rank, and then fight with the other party, and finally decide the winner in a fight, isn't it interesting?" Zhu Fengdan said with a smile.
Although he was smiling, Li Qi could still vaguely sense that Zhu Fengdan exuded a stream of demonic energy and murderous aura, but it was eliminated before it could manifest.
Just a wisp of distraction made Li Qi feel a little creepy
Obviously, he was fighting, and he was fighting fiercely with others through some means that Li Qi could not understand.
He really took time out from his busy schedule to come here. Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death? Distracting at this time, looking for death?
But those were not what Li Qi should consider, he was just habitually thinking about it.
He immediately focused on Zhu Fengdan's words.
Let himself exchange sons with Liu Junyi?
Is this possible?
Well... maybe it's possible. If I can break through the fifth level, I may not be able to beat Liu Junyi, but if I join forces with Shen Shuibi and some palm killers... I may be able to stop him.
As long as I can stop him for a while, then humanity will have no chance of turning the tables.
Li Qi just thought about it, and Zhu Fengdan raised his eyebrows.
Obviously, he saw clearly what Li Qi was thinking.
"Maybe I can't beat him? You are so unconfident. You did something I didn't expect this time. Why are you belittling yourself?" Zhu Fengdan said.
"Although the magical power of cause and effect is powerful, it consumes too much and has strong backlash. It is not a fifth-level method. It needs to be understood, but it requires experience to use it. Even if I advance to the fifth level, I still find it difficult to apply it directly in combat. "Li Qi shook his head and said frankly.
He really didn't think it was possible.
Because, when he was at the eighth level, he had beaten Liu Junyi. The opponent was one against three, and the three young masters of Wu Shenshan couldn't hold their heads up.
Thinking about reaching the fifth level, the gap will definitely be more, not less.
However, Zhu Fengdan smiled and said: "That's true, but you can decide these things yourself, but it is indeed time to put your promotion to the fifth rank on the agenda. I came here specifically to do this. This is your chance of victory. I will send someone I’ve given you some materials to repair your cultivation. Eat them all to shorten the time for you to accumulate cultivation.”
"Uh... the cultivation I have accumulated now is purely a matter of water grinding. Can it be shortened by using treasures?" Li Qi was surprised.
"Ordinary treasures are not good, but those things are also treasures here." Zhu Fengdan said casually: "Okay, as long as you understand, I will leave first, otherwise I will lose. If I lose, you will be in disaster. ,Ran!"
Before Li Qi could say anything, Zhu Fengdan disappeared as suddenly as when he came.
Li Qi was ejected directly, and he was distracted and forced to return to his body.
Well……
Forget it, get used to it.
As for whether he loses or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, if Zhu Fengdan loses, he can just wait for others to die.
And if he wins, he can give Zhu Fengdan a little advantage.
That's right, although there are so many high-end combat powers, it seems that the battle can be directly decided by the strong ones. But in fact, what Li Qi and the others did was not in vain.
When Li Qi won on the battlefield, he was accumulating victory and providing an advantage to Zhu Fengdan and the others.
When Zhu Fengdan wins, he is also accumulating advantages for those higher up.
When the final layers are accumulated, the final victory can be established.
Just like the battlefields of those seventh-level worlds under Li Qihe, it seems that the winning or losing of one or two seventh-level worlds does not matter, but the entire battlefield is made up of the winning and losing of these small places.
The theory of boundaries also exists on the battlefield.
So, don’t slack off.
Thinking like this, a shooting star suddenly appeared in the world Li Qi lived in.
This meteor directly penetrated the world barrier and flew towards Li Qi quickly.
"So fast?" This surprised Li Qi.
Zhu Fengdan said he wanted to deliver something, but it had already been delivered in just a few seconds?
Was it specifically pedestrians who took action?
probably?
Li Qi thought like this, stretched out his hand, and saw a hand appearing out of thin air in the sky thousands of miles away, catching the meteor.
Then, he clenched his hand into a fist, quickly came to Li Qi's side, and then spread his palm out.
After dispelling the spell, Li Qi stared at the meteor sent over.
Uh...what is this?
At first glance, this thing looks like a jade bead, with good quality, but at first glance, it is only good and unremarkable.
There is something magical about jade, but that's all.
However, Zhu Fengdan clearly told Li Qi that this thing was considered a treasure to Zhu Fengdan, so it would definitely not be simple.
But...this old thing doesn't tell you how to use it, and it doesn't have an instruction manual. Why am I just staring at it?
Looking at the jade beads in front of him, Li Qi fell into deep thought.
Let’s try the ordinary activation method of the magic weapon first.
Then, he tried various ways to activate magic weapons, such as divine souls, drops of blood, spells, or switches.
But no, this jade bead was completely unmoved.
In this case, the only way to find out is.
Li Qi looked at the orb carefully, trying to find out the clues. He used the surface characteristics of the jade bead, the aura fluctuations, etc., and then combined it with the classics he had read to find the possible source.
However, after looking for a long time and almost delaying the conductor's business, I couldn't find any corresponding records at all.
Li Qi read so many classics, but there was nothing recorded that could match this thing.
That leaves only the last method.
Use Zhenzhiyun to sweep.
This is actually very dangerous, because Zhu Fengdanming said that this thing is also a treasure to him, which means that this thing may be a third-grade thing.
If you rashly scan this thing with the rhyme of true knowledge, you can easily touch the Taoist rhyme of the third level or above, and you may even face some terrifying magical powers.
Just one look at it would probably make Li Qi lay dead.
But after thinking about it, Li Qi felt that Teacher Zhu would definitely not harm him.
Then just scan it.
Zhenzhiyun offered his sacrifice, and then tentatively glanced at the jade bead.
By really knowing the characteristics of Yun, Li Qi quickly detected the internal situation and the inner nature of this jade bead.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of fragrant wind coming from behind him.
Very fragrant and fragrant smell.
Moreover, this smell... is a bit familiar.
Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva?
This was the third-grade Bodhisattva that Li Qi came into contact with during his trip to the West. He had the four identities of a demon clan, a human imperial concubine, a demonic yaksha ghost, and a Buddhist bodhisattva.
It was precisely because of the complexity of the other party's identity that Li Qicai went to Buddhism to seek help from the other party and reached an agreement with Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva.
Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva hated humanity to the core, and she was possessed by the devil because of humanity.
Because of the fragrance, the face of Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in Li Qi's mind.
That face was so beautiful that it was hard to describe, and it was enough to be called the most beautiful face in the world.
This made Li Qi a little frightened.
Because, unless you see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine the face of Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva.
Even if you have seen what the other person looks like, after you close your eyes, no matter how much you recall, there is only a vague outline, and you can't restore the appearance.
Because the other person's "beauty" has reached the level of "Tao", it is the objective and real manifestation of "beauty" and the end point of all aesthetics. Unless you can perfectly understand and master all forms of "beauty", it is impossible to restore her appearance in your memory.
Therefore, just the appearance of the other person's face made Li Qi know that this gem was probably the "help" promised to him by Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva.
This alone is not enough to be frightened.
The reason for the fear is that Li Qi suddenly felt... his heart was a little shaken.
Nothing else, just because Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva smiled at him.
This smile was so thrilling that Li Qi completely lost his mind and looked dazed, as if there was only this in front of him.
At the moment when he was dazed, Li Qi suddenly saw——
He saw...himself in the past.
And, himself in the future.
The self in the past was the self who fainted because of the causal line during his blood sacrifice.
The self in the future was the self who was already at the fifth level, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he was in seclusion anyway.
He didn't know what was going on, but these things popped up in his mind, and the past and future self appeared in front of him, and he also knew when it was.
He could vaguely see himself at other times, in the earlier past, or in the more distant future.
But the "self" at those times was blocked by some kind of power, and could only be seen vaguely, and could not choose.
And now, he could only choose himself in these two time periods.
Why choose?
I don't know.
It was as if... I was confused by that smile.
Li Qi just reached out his hand and touched his past and future self.
So, the past body, present body, and future body merged into one.
Li Qi suddenly felt that his past self, the unconscious self during the blood sacrifice, had his cultivation taken away.
And his future self, the self in seclusion, also had some of his cultivation taken away.
These disappeared cultivations came into Li Qi's body!
The power of the blood sacrifice and the power of the fifth-grade Li Qi burst out in his body!
He immediately realized!
What he lacked from the fifth grade was the cultivation accumulated through hard work, which would have taken thousands of years to complete.
But now, he didn't need hard work.
