People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1099 The Sword Demon

When the game ended that day, Li Qi's level had increased to level 25, but there was still a considerable distance before the demonic fetus was fully mature.

And his progress was naturally very fast.

The Grandmaster level is only 41. If you really want to advance two levels a day, it won't take many days to reach the Grandmaster level.

However, the improvement of martial arts skills becomes slower as you progress, and it's not easy to find true masters.

Although Li Qi acts as he pleases, he is not completely unscrupulous in his killings. He will not take action without any grudge or enmity.

Of course, once you enter the martial world, everything is fraught with grudges. Before he becomes truly invincible, there will inevitably be enemies for him to kill.

Putting everything else aside, if his Dao embryo and demonic seed were exposed, both the righteous and the evil factions would want to kill him.

After two days of slaughter, his existence was discovered by the Hundred Evils Alliance and some other people.

At this time, however, no one knew Li Qi's origins or identity, or even what kind of martial arts he used.

All we know is that there are experts specifically targeting the Hundred Evils Alliance.

Furthermore, it was discovered from some of the corpses that this mysterious master was absorbing people's power.

The matter of absorbing internal energy sparked some discussion, but that was about it and didn't attract much attention.

The reason is simple: similar methods are emerging one after another in the martial arts world, but those who have the ability to obtain such skills look down on them, while those who want to practice them cannot obtain them.

The power stolen from others is far too mixed. Power is the culmination of essence, energy, and spirit, and it already carries a strong personal imprint. Absorbing too much power makes it dozens of times more difficult to break through to the innate level. Moreover, mixed power has no possibility of condensing into a martial arts spirit.

The awakening of the primordial spirit requires purity; absorbing internal energy goes against this principle.

In fact, even the most original Dao Embryo Demon Seed, although it steals other people's Dao Embryos, only steals from one person, and the other person's power must be pure enough.

Even the Nan Hua Jing, one of the Twenty-Five Orthodox Scriptures, which evolves into the Northern Darkness and devours the heavens and the earth, has the effect of absorbing human power. However, this is only a minor path, and its main purpose is to devour the heavens and the earth, not the power of other people.

The Northern Sea can naturally contain all things, but humans are ultimately not the Northern Sea. If one truly possesses the level of mastery and achievement of the Northern Sea, why would one need to devour the power of others?
Li Qi practiced randomly with his eyes closed, relying on my contemplation, and with his extraordinary wisdom, he directly created a special version that was no longer martial arts, but closer to something else.

Only Li Qi himself was unaware of this, believing that martial arts should be like this.

He started out as a novice, possessing top-tier demonic skills, without a master to guide him or any real martial arts foundation. He relied entirely on his extraordinary wisdom to act recklessly, and this is the result he got.

Time passed day by day. In reality, things remained peaceful, but in the game, Li Qi was on a killing spree, and his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds. In just six days, he had already reached level 35. During this process, Bai Xie Lao Zu, a half-step Celestial, even wanted to deal with Li Qi personally.

However, Li Qi's demonic fetus possessed extraordinary abilities, allowing him to avoid misfortune and sense good or bad fortune. He directly avoided the trap set by the Hundred Evil Ancestor, without even encountering him.

Under these circumstances, the Hundred Evils Alliance naturally shrank its power and dared not act recklessly as before.

At the same time, Li Qi's improvement was not limited to his realm. As he acquired the wisdom of more and more martial artists, his martial arts foundation also became deeper and deeper. Nurturing the Hundred Classics and his extraordinary wisdom made his Dao Embryo and Demon Seed more refined in detail, making his body purer and his power more condensed and pure.

His self-created Seven Illusions of the Heavenly Demon became Five Illusions of the Heavenly Demon, and the Nine Slashes of the Demon Blade became Six Slashes of the Demon Blade.

The so-called "seven illusions and five illusions" refer to the seven-step illusion and the five-step illusion, respectively. Fewer steps naturally result in greater strength. The same principle applies to the Demon Blade Six Slashes. When Li Qi uses this sword technique, his momentum and power only reach their peak on the sixth slash. Six slashes are fewer than nine slashes, so they are naturally stronger than nine slashes.

Under these circumstances, Li Qi's martial arts skills would appear to anyone as the result of rigorous training over at least thirty years, making it impossible to tell that his skills were acquired quickly.

It can only be said that those with high talent naturally have their own training methods.

After several days, Li Qi's name spread throughout the Western Regions, and he even earned the nickname "Sword Demon."

He is skilled with a knife and can absorb the power of others, so he is naturally a demon.

Along with Li Qi's name, news of the Hundred Evils Assembly spread, and in a short time, almost everyone in the Western Regions knew about it, and it even reached the Central Plains.

Over the years, the game world has been relatively peaceful, with nothing major happening. However, the Hundred Evils Tournament caused quite a stir.

Of course, the major powers in the Central Plains did not pay much attention to this matter. The Western Regions were too barren, sparsely populated, and in terms of prosperity, they could not even compare with some of the major cities in the Central Plains.

It's something that small forces can't seize, and large forces simply don't care about.

If there were any real profit to be made here, it wouldn't be the turn of the Hundred Evil Ancestor.

This is similar to the situation in Li Qi's previous life, during the ancient feudal dynasties, where some small countries on the periphery of the country were not conquered and incorporated into their territory. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but rather that it wasn't worthwhile. The cost of ruling them was too high; not only would they not make money, they would also have to pay out of pocket.

It would be better to let them rule themselves, simply collecting protection fees, or using them as dumping grounds for goods to profit from the price difference.

Amidst the turmoil, the major powers in the Middle Kingdom remained inactive, but the matter gained traction in the real world.

In the last day or two, in particular, many posts and videos on the internet have been popularizing and sharing information about what happened in the Western Regions.

The game world had been peaceful for too long, and something finally happened, with even greater repercussions in real life.

Although games don't have a recording function, the special status of the game world means that some news within it has enormous economic value.

The less people can access the game, the more curious they become about all the things inside it.

Just like Li Qi in the past, he knows a lot about the gaming world, thanks to all kinds of news and popular science videos.

Even a little bit of substance in it can easily rack up millions of views, and some of the best videos have hundreds of millions of views.

Even popular science videos are a mixed bag, with all sorts of claims, so you need to have a certain ability to distinguish between them.

However, compared to the natives in the game world, people in the real world are undoubtedly far ahead in terms of information access.

Even among the natives in the game world, perhaps 90% of them, no one knows what the Twenty-Five Laws actually are.

Under these circumstances, the Hundred Evils Gathering is being discussed everywhere online, and it's quite a hot topic. Even around Li Qi, in the past two days, the classroom has been filled with discussions about the Hundred Evils Gathering during breaks.
