People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1131 War Letter
"With such martial arts skills and such aura, the Demon Emperor is definitely not an unknown figure in reality, but so far, there is not a single trace of the Demon Emperor in reality. It's too strange."

Some people said that something seemed amiss.

"That's right, this kind of person is definitely a born powerhouse. They must have been different from others since childhood. Or is it that the Demon Emperor was actually recruited by the Empire a long time ago?!"

"Impossible. If the Demon Emperor were truly to be absorbed into the Empire, how could the Empire remain indifferent to such a momentous event as the extermination of the Dragon Elephant..."

Some people are discussing it.

"I'm from Longxiang Temple. Luckily, I ran away early and found an excuse not to go back to the temple, otherwise I would have been cleared out as a regular soldier this time..."

Some people also commented online.

There are many chosen ones, and naturally some of them join the Dragon Elephant Temple.

Players don't have any real loyalty; they'll stick with you when there's a benefit and run away when there's a problem.

The online uproar is just the beginning.

In the game, news of the destruction of Longxiang Temple spread extremely quickly, and when the news came out, the entire martial arts world was shaken up.

No one could have predicted that Ryusei-ji would perish in this battle.

Under these circumstances, almost the entire martial arts world focused its attention on the location of Taixu Palace.

First, eliminate the dragon and the elephant, then annihilate the Great Void!
Now that the Dragon and Elephant are gone, what will become of the Great Void?

At the same time, everyone understands the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

What choices will the remaining three gangs and six factions make?
Will they unite to fight against the Demon Emperor, or will they be opportunists, helping whoever is stronger?
As for the thoughts of ordinary people, the struggle between good and evil has never been relevant to them.

Even if the Demonic Sect wins, the Demonic Sect will become the Holy Sect, and the former righteous path will be the bandits and the demons.

The winner takes all, the loser is condemned – that is an irrefutable truth.

For many, the following days were undoubtedly a series of sleepless nights.

Many leaders of various factions realized that their next choices would determine their success or failure.

To fight or to surrender?!
The Demon Emperor's martial arts skills are too powerful. There are no more legends in the martial arts world. Now that the Demon Emperor has set foot in the martial arts world, no one can defeat him.

Even if many masters joined forces, including Long Zhong, the former number one in the world and a half-mythical figure, many people did not believe he had a chance of winning.

After all, even the world's number one expert could never wipe out an entire sect by himself.

A near-myth, but ultimately not a myth!
Even though mythology clearly exists, why is Long Zhong still the number one person and the number one master in the world? It's because mythology is already in the heavens, no longer human.

Time passed day by day, and in this tense atmosphere, a shocking piece of news spread: in the Taixu Palace, the Taixu Dao Master challenged the Demon Emperor to a duel on the fifteenth of the full moon above the Heavenly Pool. The battle would determine life and death, and also set the future of the martial world, the great destiny of the Dao and the Demon for a hundred years.

When this news came out, many people were curious about where the Daoist Master Taixu got the confidence to challenge the Demon Emperor. But then the truth came out. It turned out that the Daoist Master Taixu had combined the sword left behind by the master who had broken through the void with the mark in it, and had gone a step further. Although it was not a myth, it had already reached several parts of the power of a myth and could be compared with a myth.

There are even legends that the sword was returned by a master who shattered the void, and that it contained the secrets of shattering the void.

Suddenly, the earth shook and the sky trembled.

How could the things left behind by a powerful being who shattered the void be ordinary? Although the Demon Emperor's demonic arts were earth-shattering, the outcome of this battle is now shrouded in mystery in the eyes of many.

Meanwhile, some people are wondering whether the Demon Emperor will accept the challenge.

The Demon Emperor's response was a single word: "Agreed!"

"The game system's recognition of a faction's rule is really simple; it only needs to acknowledge it nominally. Right now, my guild is expanding like crazy, and it's clear that I have almost no control over the area, but the system still recognizes it."

Nine days have passed since the battle at Longxiang Temple. Thanks to Li Qi's policy of accepting all kinds of people, countless opportunists have joined the Demonic Sect. In a short period of time, the Demonic Sect's sphere of influence has already occupied about one-fifth of the Central Plains.

Among the various forces, large and small, the major forces were all backing down, while the smaller forces simply joined in, taking advantage of the chaos to seize benefits. Many major forces even sent their collateral branches, or even their second sons, to join the Demonic Sect.

If these people succeed, they will be the main force; if they fail, it will only be a minor setback for them.

As the saying goes, the worst thing in the world is when we are all interconnected and interdependent. That's the point.

Most people bet on both sides, but ironically, this method is the most effective.

This also helped Li Qi. If it weren't for this, it would have been a pipe dream for Jiutianjiu to occupy one-fifth of the Central Plains, even if only nominally.

As for now, in almost every place, only the flag has changed; the people who rule the local areas are still the same ones.

In the real-world feudal dynasty era, such a thing would never happen, but in the game world, force belongs to oneself, and what Li Qi seeks is not power and resources, which is actually the best outcome.

As a result, Li Qi also obtained the largest number of Heavenly Dao Points, a full six hundred points, which, when converted into Heavenly Dao Qi, amounted to thirty Daos.

"Once I've refined all this Heavenly Dao Qi, my progress in transforming my Demonic Embryo into Pure Yang will definitely reach 90% or even more."

In reality, Li Qi was calculating in his mind. As for the challenge from the Daoist Master of Taixu, he was no longer afraid even if it were a true myth.

Although he is not as strong as a mythical powerhouse in terms of pure power, once he breaks through the barrier, no one can kill him; this is his confidence.

It can be said that, whether in the game or in reality, Li Qi is now fearless.

"Compared to these, the demonic shadows in the sky are truly something else..."

Li Qi looked up at the sky. The demonic shadow remained, and the countdown to the Heavenly Abyss was still steady. However, Li Qi had a premonition that the calm was just a facade, and that something was bound to change next.

But the speed at which changes occur is absolutely slower than the speed at which he becomes stronger.

Just then, Li Qi's mind stirred slightly, and about an hour later, a guest arrived.

The visitors were an old man and a young man. The young man was Lu Qingyue, whom Li Qi had met before, while the old man was none other than Lu Zhiqi, an old friend of Li Qi's grandfather.

"Xiao Qi, I only just found out about this myself. I've been living in a daze all these years, rarely having a moment of clarity. But what's done is done, and there's no going back. Young people all have their own ideas and their own paths. The marriage we had before was just wishful thinking on the part of your grandfather and me."

Lu Zhiqi, the gaunt old man, got straight to the point and expressed his apology.

An elder came to our door in person to discuss this matter, which shows the affection of the older generation.

"This is a fragment of an unnamed inheritance that I obtained by chance many years ago. It is related to the martial arts of the Taoist sect. Now there is still one chance to inherit it. You have an extraordinary Taoist nature, so perhaps you can comprehend something from it."

After saying that, Lu Zhiqi took out a page from his sleeve that looked neither like gold nor paper.

In the game, there are some rare items that can be materialized in reality, such as game invitation cards and certain special martial arts skills.

These pages are undoubtedly a treasure.

To Lu Zhi Qiu, this fragment was an unnamed fragment, but Li Qi immediately recognized it as a fragment of the Innate Qiankun Technique, one of the Twenty-Five Orthodox Methods. Of course, it was just a single fragment and not very useful, but it was definitely precious.
