Myriad Paths

Chapter 960 Proposal

Shen Shuibi hugged Li Qi, which she would never do normally.

Because there were people all around, all the third-grade, second-grade, and even first-grade in the entire universe were here.

They were all watching the demon at the core of all this, and Li Qi.

But at this moment, she rushed up without hesitation and hugged Li Qi tightly.

However, Li Qi was a little self-deprecating. He held Shen Shuibi's hand and asked her: "Yu'er... are you, are you serious?"

This is a question that seems to have no meaning, but is crucial to Li Qi at this moment.

"I am." Shen Shuibi said decisively, without any hesitation.

But Li Qi was not relieved by this answer.

Yes, so what?

With his current great power, he can even erase Shen Shuibi's existence. There is no doubt that Li Qi has realized that he has broken through to the second grade, although this is not his power.

There is an eye of the demon on his forehead. Because of this eye and the true knowledge in it, his perception has expanded to a point that he himself cannot imagine. He seems to be able to see everything in the universe.

Through this perception, he can also perfectly control the power of the desire realm in his body, and then, he may be a complete second-grade at this moment, as long as the eye is not taken back by the demon.

Therefore, with the power of the second grade, Li Qi is obviously real, and he is very sure that he is real.

So what? So what?

Now, even the Buddha is "empty".

The Buddha has worked hard all his life, shouldered the karma, and finally found that the final solution is "empty".

Li Qi once sneered at "empty".

He felt that it was simply escaping.

What is the difference between the so-called "empty" and a vegetative person?

Give up thinking, give up perception.

No thought, no color, no death, no birth.

No difference, no impermanence, no beginning, no view.

Nothing to gain, nothing to have, no distinction.

Complete nothingness, so there is no pain, no struggle, so you can get the ultimate happiness, and the fate with all living beings is completely severed, no longer bound by any cause and effect.

But now, Li Qi suddenly realized that this seems... It's also good.

Emptiness is indeed a perfect answer. Although this answer is so perfect that it cannot even accommodate the existence of thinking itself, it can cope with all kinds of things in this world.

In life, even if there is no aging, illness or death, all kinds of misfortunes and sufferings have been entangled. Who can escape?

Looking at the endless world, all living beings are struggling in suffering, hunting other living beings, and finally inevitably become prey to others, killing and suffering.

In this world, nothing is absolutely independent, and everything must be related to other things in the network of cause and effect.

Things are connected in this way, and they are involved with each other as soon as they move, just like the intersection of two lines of cause and effect. The point where all kinds of ties intersect with each other is "fate".

As long as fate is not destroyed, then pain is inevitable.

If you want to destroy fate, you must achieve "emptiness".

For example, if you want the rabbit in front of you to no longer suffer such pain and worry, the best way is not to get involved in the first place.

If Li Qi had never been born in the first place...

After all, he was just a chess piece created by the demon. Instead of being entangled in the pain brought by the evil consequences, it is better to achieve spiritual freedom and liberation, so as to stay away from all entanglements.

"So, if I am fake, you will leave me, right? Is this different?" At this time, Rabbit whispered in his ear.

Yes, for Li Qi at this moment, Shen Shuibi and even other things may be illusions.

But, so what?

What's wrong with falling in love with an illusion?

Is there any difference between the love for the illusion on the screen and the love for a pile of flesh and bones?

"Yes, there is no difference, Yu'er." Li Qi sighed at this time.

Just when Li Qi said this, his foundation of Taoism changed.

What objective reality exists, what truth exists between all things, and all things are free, etc., are no longer in conflict, because...

"What I believe is true, and I want to believe that you are true." Li Qi held Shen Shuibi's hand.

So, at this time, Li Qi's second-grade foundation was solidified.

It's so easy to abandon those.

Just become a demon.

No need to think about the reason, just "I want", then it's fine.

Of course, this is not that simple. For example, let a mortal imagine an interstellar battleship. Can he imagine it?

If he has not received professional training, he can only imagine a vague impression, which is not "I want" at all. Even if he has received training in painting, he can imagine the appearance. It's already very good.

But what about the inside of the appearance?

What is the principle? What does the design look like? How is it realized?

All of these must be imagined, and this spacecraft can operate, and every place must be in line with imagination and must be maintained for a long time.

Even if they have the ability of "imagination is truth", many people can't imagine anything at all.

But Li Qi can.

He can do it, his imagination is enough to support the existence of the second grade, especially... he already has the true knowledge in the desire world and the eyes of the devil as his foundation.

As long as you admit the reality of your own subjective will, that's all.

As long as he is willing to believe that all things are true, even if this reality is based on his subjective will, then...his moral dispute will naturally subside.

So, at this moment, in full view of everyone, Li Qi became possessed.

At this moment, karma demons, heart demons, good root demons, samadhi demons, good knowledge demons, Bodhi Dharma wisdom demons, Yin demons, and many second-level demons appeared next to Li Qi.

After appearing for only a moment, they were repulsed.

Because at this time...three second-grades appeared here.

The Prince's Changqin, Zhu Fengdan, the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron, and the Golden Monkey.

"Get out of here!" The golden monkey suddenly returned from the void and waved his stick around! Defeat all the demons.

Zhu Fengdan also appeared next to Li Qi and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, you are indeed my apprentice. The path is exactly the same."

Just a long time ago, when Li Qi saw Zhu Fengdan's Dharma form for the first time, there were traces of the devil in it. (See Chapter 506 for details)

Prince Changqin frowned, as if he didn't want to see this scene, but he still appeared.

The True Lead Cauldron of Sun and Moon shrouds the surrounding area, blocking the interference of evil thoughts.

The demons were smashed to pieces by the golden monkey, but they just chuckled and then disappeared.

Shen Shuibi immediately let go and stepped back. People were coming and she could no longer act like before.

As a result, Wu Xian, who was watching from the sidelines, waved gently.

Scene changes.

Including Jin Hou, Li Qi, Zhu Fengdan, Prince Changqin, Shen Shuibi, all left the scene directly.

There was no reaction at all.

Then, they came to a void, which was a void similar to the vacuum of the universe.

This should be the static, eternal vacuum.

In this vacuum, it seems that strange things can be glimpsed, such as the past of the super universe and the future of the universe. In the depths, there is a universe outside the universe, coexisting with eternity.

It seems like there is nothing, but everything seems to exist, but everything is integrated into one, so it looks like a vacuum.

When a thing has "everything", what is the difference between it and "nothing"?

If there is everything, it means that nothing can be distinguished here, and every thing has all the properties of every other thing.

Therefore, everything is completely consistent.

Nothingness itself is also 'completely consistent', and this complete consistency creates this strange scene.

There is no difference between everything, so everything is what it is now.

"This is my inner world." Wu Xian said softly.

The golden monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, and Zhu Fengdan rubbed his temples. As for the prince Changqin, the sun and moon true lead cauldron, and Shen Shuibi, they all respectfully waited for Wu Xian's words.

Wu Xian said: "I know you really want to know about Li Qi's situation, so come one by one, and after you have finished talking, I will tell you everything."

Then, Wu Xian clicked on the golden monkey and said: "Monkey, you are here in the most hurry. If I ask you to wait a few more minutes, I will ruin my place, so you go first."

Zhu Fengdan had a displeased look on his face: "He's anxious, so he takes the lead? As long as I destroy your place, can I take the lead?"

"If you do this, I will beat you until you regret it." Wu Xian said softly.

Prince Changqin didn't hold back, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time, but he still turned his laughter into a smile, looking gentle and kind.

Zhu Fengdan was very angry, but he turned around and walked to Shen Shuibi: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Thank you, Master." Shen Shuibi said this, but looking at her look, there was not much relief, she was still worried.

But these are not the focus of attention. At this moment, Li Qi finally stood up and began to face the golden monkey in front of him.

"Uh, Brother Monkey." Li Qi saluted the golden monkey in front of him.

"Brothers, why are you so unfamiliar with me?" The golden monkey looked delighted: "I didn't expect, brother, you have entered the realm of eternity so quickly!"

He didn't seem worried about Li Qi's condition at all, but instead congratulated Li Qi.

And Li Qi was also very strange.

Golden Monkey...why do you really think of him as a brother? He also swung the stick at the devil for him. This kind of behavior was simply asking for death, but he still struck out without any delay.

However, Li Qi now doesn't even have the heart to doubt that.

It doesn’t make any sense anyway, right?

He tried his best to make himself believe that this world... at least he was real. He really didn't have that much energy to worry about those things anymore.

At this moment, Li Qi has fallen into the nihility of the demonic way. He is convincing himself to believe in what he thinks is true, so as to avoid falling into a complete dilemma of nihility.

Seeing Li Qi's appearance, the golden monkey circled around him: "Brother, you look unhappy. What's wrong? Isn't it good to be promoted?"

When Li Qi heard this, he smiled bitterly, and the golden monkey didn't understand what happened.

So, he told the other party everything about his situation.

After listening, the golden monkey laughed loudly: "It turns out that these are the things that I worry about in vain. In this case, just worry about it slowly. It will be better after a while. I will go first. I have other things to do." !Busy now!"

After saying this, he turned over and disappeared.

Li Qi was confused.

However, he didn't pay too much attention and soon felt relieved.

Maybe it's really nothing. Maybe he's the only one who's struggling.

"Then, Zhu Fengdan, come on." Wu Xian said.

Zhu Fengdan immediately stepped forward, and in the void, he put his arm around Li Qi's shoulders and said, "Okay, you're already at the second rank, that's amazing."

"Teacher, I'm sorry." Li Qi apologized immediately.

He had seen it.

Zhu Fengdan was also at the second rank.

Obviously...

In order to support Li Qi, he finally chose the path of hesitation, the path he had given up.

"What's the point of apologizing? I've hesitated for too long at the third rank, and I couldn't make a decision. This time I'll just treat it as a choice." Zhu Fengdan said indifferently, "How about you?"

"I think... this cultivation is meaningless." Facing his teacher, Li Qi didn't hide anything.

If there is anyone in this world who makes him feel that he can tell everything, besides Zhu Fengdan, it's Shen Shuibi, and even Zhu Fengdan should be ranked first.

"Really? I used to think so too, or... just die?" Zhu Fengdan said.

Li Qi glanced at his teacher.

"You mean reincarnation?" Li Qi said.

"Wouldn't that be even more meaningless? Reincarnation, what can it do? Maybe even I am not myself anymore. By then, I will not understand anything, and even reality will not exist. If I am not careful, I will disappear in the dust of history. By then, everything will not exist, right?" Li Qi asked.

"That's just right. Isn't that the nothingness you want? If you want to verify whether it is nothingness, even throw yourself into the nothingness, put your consciousness into the nothingness, and destroy your memory and cognition itself. Only in this way can you truly experience nothingness, right? If you can destroy it, you can confirm that the world is built in your heart, right?" Zhu Fengdan said so.

Li Qi fell into deep thought.

He is now extremely depressed.

And there is an opportunity in front of him.

At this moment, no matter what the truth is, he wants to face it.

This desire for the truth is increasing.

Li Qi increasingly feels a terrible, but also unimaginable, hateful, and deadly feeling lurking secretly in the nothingness.

In his previous life, Li Qi was torn between horror and fascination, between nothingness and existence, and suffered a lot.

Now, he seems to have a chance to verify the essence of nothingness, that is, to let consciousness fall into nothingness.

If consciousness can go from existence to nothingness, and the world still exists, it means... the outside world exists.

Then, Li Qi nodded.

He wants to do this.

This is a rebellion against the devil.
