People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 1173 Changing Identity
Unfortunately, although Li Daoxuan spent a great deal of effort to find a Taiyuan Heart Method that he could cultivate, and he also had some talent, he had neither a famous teacher nor resources. Although he successfully cultivated Qi, he was still a long way from entering the Dao.

The so-called entry into the Tao is to absorb spiritual energy, so that all the meridians are connected, and finally open the mysterious gate, return to the innate state, and awaken the spiritual light. Only in this way can one be considered to have entered the gate of cultivation; otherwise, one is just an ordinary mortal.

As for cultivation resources, whether it is tonics to nourish the body or spices to calm the mind, they can make cultivation twice as effective. Indeed, when one reaches a high level of cultivation, one can live on air and dew without relying on external things. However, at the beginning of cultivation, unless one is a truly extraordinary genius, one will always need the assistance of elixirs and food.

Time is short. Generally speaking, if you haven't entered the Dao by the age of thirty, the chances will become smaller and smaller. At the same time, even if you are lucky enough to enter the Dao, your spiritual light will be more obscured, and subsequent cultivation will be difficult.

In theory, the best time to enter the path is before the age of sixteen.

Some prodigies are even born with awakened spiritual light, which means they have an innate Dao body.

Although the Taiyuan Heart Method is widely circulated and almost ubiquitous, it is not bad in itself. It was intentionally spread by the Taiyuan Dao Alliance to give ordinary people a chance to attain enlightenment.

The Taiyuan Dao Alliance is a true behemoth within a radius of 80 billion li. Hundreds of countries, large and small, including the Yu Kingdom, all respect the Taiyuan Dao Alliance.

The so-called Grand General of the Feather Kingdom, or even the Emperor of the Feather Kingdom, cannot compare to the prestige of an outer disciple of the Taiyuan Dao Alliance.

The Taiyuan Heart Method has thirteen levels. Completing ten levels allows one to enter the Dao, while completing thirteen levels can alter the quality of one's innate spiritual light, seize the creation of heaven and earth, and enhance one's talent.

Unfortunately, Li Daoxuan obtained the Dharma at the age of ten, and now at sixteen, he has only cultivated to the third level.

He still had plenty of time ahead of him, and he could have had another chance before he turned thirty. But who would have thought that the Li family would send him away to become a live-in son-in-law? So he seized an opportunity and ran away.

This is not just about the low status of a son-in-law being subjected to beatings and abuse; more importantly, his cultivation will also be destroyed to prevent him from having any unrealistic fantasies.

Compared to all of this, his future wife, Miss Xu, is a womanizer with a terrible reputation, and she will inevitably be embroiled in all sorts of scandals. That's a minor matter.

He had great ambitions, and this insult was nothing more than a minor setback, but he could not accept the fact that he would never be able to enter the Dao again.

So he jumped directly into the undercurrent of the river, hoping for a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, he actually managed to escape and survive; unfortunately, he landed in the wrong place.

As Li Qi gradually awoke from his deepest slumber, he vaguely heard some sounds coming from his ear, which sounded like an old scholar reciting the scriptures of sages.

"The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue..."

The content itself is quite sophisticated, but Li Qi knows that the person who recites it, or rather, the old fox, doesn't understand its meaning. He just feels that this seemingly convoluted thing must be something good.

Sure enough, the voice continued, "Although I don't know exactly what university is, if I think about it carefully, it's probably a vast amount of knowledge. If you memorize it and recite it every day, you'll eventually be influenced and have some of your demonic nature washed away..."

At this moment, Li Qi was one with him. Even though he was using his body as the main body to avoid being discovered and did not show too many mystical things, he was still very clear about his own situation.

He was swept away by the undercurrent and drifted for hundreds of miles until he landed near Black Mountain, where he was picked up by a den of fox spirits.

In this world, even wild beasts, nurtured by the essence of the sun and moon over time, can develop intelligence and become spirits. Some spirits are bloodthirsty, while others are benevolent, just as there are countless kinds of people, some of whom are hundreds of times more terrifying than demons and monsters when they turn evil. The same is true for demons; some are good, some are evil, and they cannot be generalized.

This den of fox spirits is well-versed in Confucian classics; they are not ordinary monsters.

"Second Master, in a few days the Black Sky King will be holding the Dan Yuan Conference, demanding that each family in Black Mountain pay some kind of Dan Yuan tax. He says it's an advanced system learned from humans outside. Although we still have some spiritual fruits in our gardens, if we pay this Dan Yuan tax, we'll inevitably have to tighten our belts."

“I think we should just hand that human over. The Black King loves to eat people. If we send someone over, we might not only be exempt from the Dan Yuan tax, but also receive a lot of rewards.”

"He's human, and we're demons. We picked him up from the riverbank, which is already giving him a little more time to live."

"Second Master, you commanded us not to eat people. We won't eat them, we'll just send them to the Black King to eat."

Then, Li Qi heard some other noises.

This was also his destined death.

"Twenty-five, what nonsense are you spouting? Our fox family isn't some bloodthirsty demons. We follow the path of pure immortal demons, accumulating blessings through good deeds and good results. That's the right way."

Before the old scholar could speak, a cold voice suddenly rebuked him.

"Nineteenth Sister, if we're really talking about good deeds leading to good results, then the one who claims to be king of Black Mountain shouldn't be the Black Mountain King. That Black Mountain King, who often eats people, is still free and has great cultivation. It's even said that the Black Mountain Demon King was originally a mount kept by a certain immortal from the Taiyuan Dao Alliance outside the mountain..."

"If there hadn't been a pill tax, it wouldn't have been so bad. But now that I've handed over the spirit fruits, my time for transformation is going to be even longer. And you, Nineteenth Sister, are in the same boat, so close to entering the Dao..."

The twenty-five retorted, followed by another argument and the sound of a door slamming shut.

At this moment, Li Qi had already opened his eyes and then changed his identity.

"With my supernatural powers, it wouldn't be difficult for me to fully cultivate this body in a single thought. However, when that happens, the causal network of this world might discover that the origin of such a huge amount of cultivation is unknown, so I can only proceed slowly."

Li Qi thought to himself, and then a simple panel appeared in front of him.

Character: Li Daoxuan
Identity: Li family's illegitimate son (expandable) (editable)
This panel doesn't display any attributes. In essence, it's a Trojan program created by Li Qi specifically for this world.

Then, with a thought, Li Qi's identity as a son of a concubine in the Li family became distorted and blurred, and then a long text appeared on the panel log bar.

Log: On the surface, you are the illegitimate son of the Li family of Yu Kingdom, but in reality, when you were six years old, you were taken in as a disciple by a master from the Taiyuan Dao Alliance who traveled the world and ranked among the outer disciples of the Taiyuan Dao Alliance. However, in order to hone your skills, the master did not allow you to reveal your identity and true cultivation.

Ten days ago, you received a secret mission from a master to investigate the true nature of the Black Mountain King in Black Mountain. With your exceptional wisdom, you keenly sensed that this involved a power struggle among the higher-ups of the Dao Alliance, and that you were to conceal your identity and act as an ordinary mortal...
