People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 315 Soaring Gold Content
What happened this morning instantly became the hottest topic across the country.

One strike cuts through an iron boat, one strike defeats the void!
This sentence went viral on various websites and forums, appearing in numerous popular posts.

The long-standing online controversy has finally come to a conclusion, but the outcome has surprised everyone.

Wang Taixu was defeated, and defeated so easily. There were no dozens of rounds of fighting, no flashing swords and shadows. The outcome was decided with just one strike.

However, although it was only a single strike, the impression it left was extremely profound. Many people posted descriptions online, saying that Wang Taixu's "One Strike to Ask the Way" was a strike that seemed to condense all the brilliance of life, as if he were about to ascend to immortality. But Li Qi's strike was like the will of Heaven, easily cutting him down without giving him any chance to resist.

However, this statement drew skepticism from many who were not present at the scene, who felt that such a description was too exaggerated, and that even a battle between great masters was probably no more than this.

The terms "ascension to immortality" and "divine will" are far too exaggerated.

However, this time, there were quite a few people present, and this seemingly exaggerated statement actually gained the approval of many people.

In fact, such a description is not an exaggeration, because this is the mental world of the strong.

Indeed, normally speaking, the higher one's spiritual realm, the more wonderful one's spiritual world will be, but spiritual realm does not represent everything.

In terms of spirit, Li Qi is naturally powerful now, while Wang Taixu's talent is actually far inferior to that of a genius; he is merely outstanding among ordinary people. Under such circumstances, his ability to reach the second level of breakthrough at the age of twenty-eight shows that his heart for seeking the Dao is absolutely unwavering beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Normally speaking, given his talent, at this age, breaking through a major limit is already quite impressive.

In this situation, Tiannan was already fine, but everyone's impression of the name Li Qi became even more profound, and they fully recognized Li Qi's prowess. As for Cangbei, countless people now deeply remembered the name "Li Qi"!
The fame of Wang Taixu was immense in the past, but Li Qi's fame today will only be greater and more profound.

Not to mention, the two are exactly twelve years apart, separated by a cycle, which adds a touch of legend to the whole story.

However, at this time, no one believed that twelve years later, another sixteen-year-old boy would emerge from Tiancang to overpower Li Qi. With Li Qi's current strength, even a sixteen-year-old genius would not be able to defeat him if he cultivated for another twelve years.

Moreover, many people feel that the emergence of Li Qi has exhausted the spiritual energy of Tiancang over the past few hundred years. Before Li Qi, Tiancang had never produced such an extraordinary figure.

……

"As it turns out, my ability to withstand Li Qi's attack back then did have some merit!"

Lying at home, Li Youan chatted on his phone in a small family group, which consisted of a few brothers he knew well.

His words immediately garnered much approval.

"Li Qi struck me with one blow, and he struck Wang Taixu with one blow as well, so rounding up, it's roughly equivalent to me being equal to Wang Taixu..."

At this moment, Li Youan muttered to himself.

In the beginning, he couldn't even withstand a single blow, and he had some reservations. But now, as Li Qi's business grows bigger and bigger, he feels that the value of the blows he receives is constantly increasing.

"Everyone at home says that Li Qi has a chance to become a saint. If he really does become one in a few decades, wouldn't that be equivalent to me taking a blow from a saint and emerging unscathed? Looking at it that way, I'm really strong!"

Such a strange thought came to Li Youan's mind.

……

"As expected, it wasn't that I was too weak back then, but that Li Qi is too monstrous!"

In a quaint courtyard, Zhang Kuanglong held his phone and muttered to himself.

When the three families hunted the tiger, Li Qi's blow left him with a deep psychological scar, even causing him to develop inner demons and fall into severe self-doubt. Even after Li Qi became invincible in Tiannan, sweeping through the seven schools, he still couldn't escape the shadow of his past. He would sit quietly in the courtyard every day, trying to overcome his inner demons, but he always fell short.

Just now, after seeing the video of Li Qi defeating Wang Taixu with a single strike, he was suddenly enlightened and instantly cleared up, all the gloom from before gone.

Who was Wang Taixu?!
For over a decade, he was invincible in both Tiancang and the surrounding areas, unmatched in strength. But now, he was crippled by Li Qi's single strike and fell into the river.

If even someone as formidable as him could be so badly defeated, it was not due to his own incompetence, but rather the sheer terror of the enemy.

"However, the calamity of demons..."

"I wonder what he encountered inside. He clearly survived the ordeal in just over ten minutes, proving that the ordeal he faced wasn't powerful. Yet, he managed to break through several barriers in such a short time..."

"Could it be that what he encountered was a rare dream, a lifetime, a cycle of reincarnation?!"

"However, the flow of time during his demonic tribulation was extremely fast. In reality, ten minutes or so was equivalent to an entire lifetime in the demonic tribulation..."

Zhang Kuanglong muttered to himself, secretly envying such an opportunity.

However, he also knew that if he were to encounter a demonic tribulation, the probability of him being able to see through it would be slim.

The demonic tribulation is a calamity, meant to destroy cultivators. So-called fortune is something that comes after you see through it. If you can't see through it, then there will only be harm, not benefit.

……

"Wang Taixu was actually defeated just like that..."

"How can it be……"

In his bedroom, Chen Di looked at the video on his phone, completely bewildered.

She also grew up in Lijia Village, and at that time, Wang Taixu was already a legend in Tiancang, known to everyone.

Even when we were kids, a group of us playing house would all vie to play the role of Wang Taixu...

At this moment, Chen Di's hands were clenched very tightly, and he seriously suspected that he was actually in a dream.

……

Meanwhile, in a virtual conference room, there were more than twenty virtual avatars gathered in a circle around a large conference table.

These people are all prominent figures overseas, but at this moment they are all in a lazy posture, seemingly having no interest in this meeting.

“Saren, your view does have some value, but that’s not enough.”

“I know that your son was beaten to death in the East, which makes you very angry, but the group has already investigated Li Changqing. When he was young, this man served as a scalpel master for three days.”

"That Li Qi, having survived the demonic tribulation, has made rapid progress in martial arts. His brain likely possesses some strange characteristics. If we could capture him as a test subject, it would indeed be very meaningful for the group's research. However, this alone is not enough to make the group go to war with the other side."

"If you really want revenge, just wait three years. In three years, Li Changqing will be almost dead. By then, Li Qi's martial arts will have only reached the Dao level at most, making it easy to capture him..."
