Chapter 737 The World of Demons
Three months later, Li Qi sat in the Crystal Palace, looking out at the boundless deep sea.
He was doing his daily civilization survey to kill time.
A large amount of self-luminous seawater released a lot of heat, and the temperature of this world seemed to have risen again.
The self-luminous world is really beautiful.
When you see it for the first time, you will think that the whole world is full of this gorgeous and splendid luminous world... It is very shocking. The continental shelf and even the underwater forests farther away are emitting crystal light.
A large amount of spiritual energy is concentrated on the seabed, setting off waves of spiritual energy. Layer after layer, the semi-solid spiritual pool with a layered structure like a thousand-layer cake is a typical landmark here. Many sea monsters and some strange life forms are surrounded by these spiritual liquids, using them as their nests and habitats, just like the relationship between clownfish and coral reefs.
These semi-solid spiritual energies will emerge at intervals. If you look from a distance, it will look like the prosperous lights on the earth. If you regard the seabed as the sky, you can also see the beautiful galaxy in this deep ocean abyss.
This is how the self-luminescence of this world comes from. It is beautiful, but... it will still make people bored after staying for a long time.
But it is indeed a bit hot. Li Qi has been here for three months and still hasn't gotten used to it.
It's a bit like... heating iron to hundreds or even thousands of degrees, and the iron will become 'luminous maltose'.
Or, melting glass into that soft form, then the glass will "look delicious".
This temperature can't hurt him, but it still makes him feel a little... subtle, as if he is being slowly cooked by the sea at low temperature and simmered on low heat.
"Huh." Li Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the gas was compressed into a small dot by the pressure the moment it came out, and then it quickly floated to the surface of the water.
The civilization survey that Li Qi is doing now is actually observing a small underwater civilization from a distance. This is just a very primitive civilization. In this second-grade world, their strongest is only the eighth grade, which is the kind of weeds on the roadside, living in this deep ocean, and secretly collecting a little bit of spiritual energy in their own unique ecological niche.
Just like some kind of marine voles, they hide secretly to eat some seeds or something, although they actually look like fish with ten legs and have strong climbing ability.
But it is still very interesting because they have high intelligence, and... although they live in the deep sea, they can't swim.
Yes, deep-sea civilization, can't swim!
They are a kind of cave creatures, living in caves. For them, the seabed is the sky, and they have air sacs in their bodies, and the buoyancy always sends them upwards, which allows them to stand safely on the top of the cave.
It's like a person standing on the ground.
Buoyancy is their gravity, and the top of the cave is their earth. They think they live on a mountain. As long as they jump out of the cliff (cave entrance), they will fall into the bottomless abyss (float to the surface of the water).
Anyway, according to the principle of relativity, their view is not a problem at all. Jumping out of the cave, in their eyes, is jumping out of the earth and falling down. Under a certain magical gravity (buoyancy), they will always fall to the surface of the water.
At that time, the buoyancy disappears...
They will find that gravity is actually upward.
That's why Li Qi likes to observe this small cave race. What kind of civilization fire will this worldview, which is completely different from the world around it, develop?
Their strongest person is only at the eighth level, so they dare not leave the cave at all. This is the deep sea of the second-level world. Anything that comes can eat them all. They rely entirely on the cave for protection.
In the future, when some of them break through the seventh level and have basic self-protection capabilities and leave the cave, what changes will happen to the world in their eyes?
Really, curious.
However, Li Qi still restrained his mentality and did not directly show up to teach them and upgrade them to the seventh level.
That would be forcing the growth of seedlings. Interfering with the progress of civilization in a natural state without authorization may destroy the possibility of a certain future. It is better to let everything go with the flow.
After all, Li Qi is still a witch.
Li Qi was making a record of civilization, but at this time, Changqiao suddenly appeared beside her: "Young Master, are you still watching? You have recorded six civilizations in the past few days."
"The second-level world of the demon race is extremely magical. It is really hard to stop." Li Qi put down the paper and pen in his hand, looked at Changqiao, and said so.
Yes, it's hard to stop.
The second-grade world of the demon race is really too complicated.
Here, it seems that everything has the nature of life, so there are a large number of small civilizations, the ecology is extremely strange, and all kinds of strange lives are struggling to compete.
At the same time, it seems that because of Changqiao, the competition nearby is also quite fierce, and the natural evolution also has a considerable influence here.
"Oh..." Changqiao nodded, and then she also wrote it down on paper and pen.
Li Qi observes civilization, and she observes Li Qi.
As mentioned before.
People who see the scenery are often the scenery in the eyes of others.
Li Qi felt that this state was a little funny, so he completely put away the paper and pen, and turned to look at Changqiao: "Are you here to tell me the progress? Or is it nothing?"
Li Qi's tone was a little teasing.
Because in the past three months, Changqiao almost always used the excuse of "reporting progress" to talk to Li Qi. Li Qi couldn't refuse, and he would often be asked many questions by the other party. But in fact, the real progress was only once a month, and most of Changqiao's reports were "no progress".
In fact, Li Qi himself knew that it was difficult for this kind of exploration to make great progress, and he could only take it slowly. You know, the power of the demon was covering up the existence of Shariputra.
This kind of cover was enough to make all explorations invalid, and all causal methods were cut off. Only physical methods could be used to find Shariputra. Probably only people like Li Qi could find Shariputra.
Yes, it was so magical. Li Qi went to find Monk Xinming and asked him to use the divine eye to find him.
But a Bodhisattva with great magical powers, who used the divine eye personally, could not find him anyway.
It was so magical.
This is the weirdness of the magic way.
Even behind this, there is not necessarily a demon behind it, it is very likely to be "spontaneous".
The mere existence of the demon is enough to cause such a thing to happen.
But no matter what, since we have confirmed such a small area of the ‘world’, a carpet search is enough.
Although the second-grade world is very large, with the power of a fourth-grade powerful person, it would take at most a few months to survey it all roughly. I believe that Changqiao’s power can do this.
Changqiao saw Li Qi put away the paper and pen, and she also put it away, and then said: "This time it is different. I found a possible target. He has Buddha nature."
"Buddha nature?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows.
"The middle way reality, illuminated the two truths, the self-nature is permanent, even if it is not Shariputra, it is also a wise root. This is a super genius, but we did not contact rashly. First, I want to leave it to the young master, and second, after all, that is the territory of a fourth-grade demon king, and I can't reach it." Changqiao said so.
"Okay, since there is a clue, it's good. I'm troubled by the young lady. Please continue to look for new possible candidates. As for this, I'll go and see it first." Li Qi replied, and then confirmed the coordinates.
"Okay, young master, take care." Changqiao immediately waved goodbye.
Li Qi nodded, and his body disappeared, turning into a light and disappearing into the sky.
In just a moment, he had already rushed to an unknown distance.
But Changqiao, although she was in human form at the moment, she still had the characteristics of a dragon, such as the vertical pupils of cyan gold, the dragon horns, and the tail swinging excitedly under the robe.
She immediately took out a pile of records and documents, and after a closer look, they were all the records generated when Li Qi lived in this place.
With... an indescribable expression, or what can be called an "auntie's smile", she began to sort these things out and organize them. This is precious first-hand information!
Posted to Tianjiao Pavilion, her post will be pinned to the top for at least 7,000 years!
As for Li Qi, he had already arrived at the coordinates.
The speed of the fourth rank is so fast that he is completely unaffected by the limit of the heavenly way, so the place where he is is actually many links away from the world chain, but it is still a blink of an eye.
However, the moment he fell to the ground, Li Qi suddenly looked up.
The surrounding cosmic light began to slow down.
A demonic force twisted the surroundings, and Li Qi could clearly feel that he had come to a time and space cage.
Well, it was expected.
He did not hide his tracks, so naturally the local tyrants would come to him.
So, Li Qi stood there, waiting for the other party.
Soon, a strange beast appeared in front of Li Qi.
The cold air and bones were shaking, and the eyes were as bright as lightning.
It was a tiger, but not just a tiger.
The body of a tiger, but with seven tails, a human face, and tiger claws.
The cultivation should also be fourth-grade, surrounded by a "fair" atmosphere.
"Lu Wu?" Li Qi was surprised.
But he immediately shook his head and said: "No, then who is you?"
"As expected of the young master of Wushen Mountain, you are indeed knowledgeable. Lu Wu is the ancestor of the family. I just have some Lu Wu blood. I already know what the young master did. Changqiao has told me, but... I still need the young master to personally guarantee that he will not mess around here. After all, this is my dojo." The mixed-blood Lu Wu said so.
"I'm just here to look for someone, I won't cause trouble easily. If there is a war, I will inform you in advance and get your permission." Li Qi bowed and said modestly.
Li Qi's attitude made the half-blood Luwu feel respected, so he nodded: "Then you can do as you please, as long as you don't make a scene, everything else is fine."
"Don't worry, sir." Li Qi said so.
As the conversation ended, the half-blood Luwu disappeared.
Li Qi also escaped from the time and space cage and looked around.
The surrounding... is a 'demon city'.
It is really a demon city, very strange, here has a typical architectural style from the world. After all, it is a second-grade demon directly under the demon path, and it is normal to be influenced by the world.
So, Li Qi here is almost the same as in the world.
The only problem is that there are all demons here.
All kinds of demons.
There are inorganic things, such as mineral demons, gem demons, and even iron felts and magic weapons flying everywhere.
There were also animals, all kinds of wild beasts. Some were recognized by Li Qi, such as the Mi Gu, the White Ape, the Deer Shu, the Red Carp, the Phoenix Chu, the Xibian and other exotic beasts. There were also many other wild beasts from outside the domain that Li Qi did not recognize at all, and he did not know what species they were, but they were all monsters.
There are many plants, such as Huangzhu, Gaoji, Zhujian, Duheng, Wujiu, etc., as well as many more plants from other regions that Li Qi couldn't distinguish.
Bizarre and strange, this is probably the description of this place.
Li Qi could see that an iron pillar monster was boiling a pot of fiery red soup, and a bunch of firebirds were queuing up to buy it.
But what they bought was not the soup, but the burning charcoal below. The iron pillar monster kicked out some charcoal from time to time, and the firebirds threw their feathers into the soup, and then began to line up to receive the charcoal, eating it happily.
As for the soup, after it was cooked, it was sent to several eight-headed monsters. Although the monsters had eight heads, they had no mouths. They poured the soup on their heads and sprouted.
A closer look revealed that it was not an eight-headed monster, but a few trees with eight branches. The reason why they looked like eight branches was because there were heads on the branches... These trees looked weird, and I don't know who they were trying to scare by growing like this.
After the firebirds finished eating the charcoal, they ran to the trees. The "heads" on the trees turned out to be the nests of the firebirds.
After getting in, the two energies merged together, and the trees suddenly became full of vitality. They pulled out their roots and walked away, and a puff of mist rose up with every step.
Looking at other places, there were even more bizarre things. Tai Sui was selling his own meat, and a bunch of carnivorous monsters were eating it crazily.
Several insect monsters that had not transformed were sending messages to the big monsters on the street.
Several spirits were blessing people on the street. They seemed to be the spirits representing "blessings", and some ghosts avoided them.
Various different living customs, various weird commodity exchanges, and the habits of the monsters were different, so these different habits brought about some special magical chemical reactions, making the whole street look extraordinary.
Li Qi had seen many worlds, but the degree of specialness here was also ranked first.
No matter what, those worlds all have their own main bodies.
However, the demon road does not have it.
Monsters have no main body. It can even be said that each monster is unique. The cultivation path of monsters is too independent.
This may be the origin of the word "monster".
Monsters themselves refer to things that are "unusual" and "strange and rare".
The so-called monsters, on this strange street, present a very stereotyped but standard image.
Thinking of this, Li Qi looked at his target this time.
That is a...
Uh, Buddha statue?
Buddha statue turned into a spirit?
So hip-hop? No wonder they say Buddha's son.
