People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 362 Nine Elements Forging Dao
"Actually, if you are a normal genius, the Demon God Research Institute is a great place to learn, but for eccentric geniuses, the attitude there is different."

Qin Zhenru pushed the teacup in front of Li Qi, and Li Qi turned his gaze to Qin Zhenru at that moment.

This woman is undoubtedly a woman of genuine character.

"Domestic is indeed a very good safe haven."

Li Qi nodded, agreeing with what the other party said.

Li Qi believed that if he had been born overseas and did not have a powerful backer, he would have been hundreds of times more low-key than he is now, and would never have made any moves unless he became invincible.

Even matters involving seizing destiny or points of fate should be postponed.

Of course, even in the Nine Provinces, there are still treacherous storms, which is why Li Qi wanted to hide himself.

However, his hiding is not like a cowardly turtle, but rather the transformation of a dragon into a hidden form. If one always shrinks back when faced with trouble, over time, one's spirit will be worn down, and even a dragon will turn into a mudfish, unable to rise to prominence again.

"This crystal ball is actually a spiritual practice method I learned overseas. Just like in our country, during the Warring States period, there was a hundred schools of thought contending. Although martial arts are the mainstream now, the environment overseas is more inclusive and diverse, with more strange and unusual methods."

"Spiritual practitioners believe that crystals are excellent conductors that can accumulate the wondrous energy of the universe to nourish the human soul. The world reflected in crystals is the spirit world, a strange and wondrous realm distinct from reality. Some spiritual practitioners, by chance, can dream of entering it and experience its ups and downs. This is one of the ultimate pursuits of spiritual practitioners!"

At this moment, Qin Zhenru introduced.

"However, I think glass and crystal are actually the same, so I specially ordered this sphere to place in the yard. The shape of the sphere is actually very meaningful..."

As she spoke, Qin Zhenru dipped her finger in a little tea, then struck the glass ball from a distance of nearly four meters, causing the ball to vibrate slightly. This move, while not as impressive as the Great Master's innate qi that could wear away stone with dripping water and shatter metal and stone, was still quite extraordinary.

As the glass sphere vibrates, the reflections within it become chaotic.

"The essence of spiritual practice lies in this: they believe that the human heart is like this sphere, easily swayed by the slightest external disturbance. But in reality, only the illusion changes; the true sphere itself remains solid. It's just that too many people fail to recognize this, leading to endless troubles..."

Qin Zhenru said.

"The Buddhist concept of 'emptiness of the four elements' is actually a similar philosophical idea. All four elements are illusory, and only after they are emptied can the mind truly manifest."

Li Qi responded, feeling that all paths lead to the same destination.

While his current level of life is not high enough, his wisdom, his vision and perspective, and his contemplation and exploration of the Dao have already surpassed countless masters.

He's not raising his level of life now simply to accumulate potential so that it can snowball.

The deeper the foundation you build up, the faster you will improve later.

If he truly achieves the demonic form, there's a high probability he can become a saint within the next three years.

If it's just breaking through the fifth level, it would probably take more than ten years to become a saint...

After that, it was almost entirely a long talk between Li Qi and Qin Zhenru, while the girl on the side, Fan Mengxin, and Sun Guang couldn't get a word in edgewise.

While Li Qi and Qin Zhenru are indeed at a different level, their knowledge reserves and perspectives are roughly the same. More importantly, both of them have a desire to explore the truth and seek the Dao.

Even if Sun Guangxian didn't mention this, even Fan Mengxin was somewhat lacking in skill.

Li Qi and Qin Zhenru talked very quickly, their topics jumping from mundane matters to cultivation, history, cutting-edge technology, astronomy, geography… others simply couldn't keep up with their pace of thought. They chatted for over an hour before Li Qi finally got up to leave. Although Sun Guang hadn't understood much of what they were saying, he was somewhat reluctant to part with them.

"This person is truly incredible. At such a young age, he possesses such wisdom and a grand vision. Although his foundation is still somewhat lacking, his mind and wisdom make up for it. Perhaps he can break through the fourth major limit around the age of twenty-six, just like me, and have a greater chance of becoming a saint!" After Li Qi and Sun Guang left, Qin Zhenru looked in the direction Li Qi had gone and murmured softly.

"It's a pity there are too many powerful people in this era, otherwise it might not be impossible..."

"Senior sister, can wisdom and intention truly compensate for a lack of innate talent?!"

Fan Mengxin asked at this moment, wanting to know the reason why Qin Zhenru made such a conclusion.

"Ordinary wisdom and intention cannot make up for the lack of innate talent and foundation, but this person's spiritual world changes because of his heart. In my opinion, its cohesion and purity are already close to that of a Great True Person. He has reached a state after tempering his spirit and intention through the interaction between heaven and man. He is already close to the Oneness!"

"Normally speaking, this is a true quality that can only be obtained by being tempered and refined in the furnace of heaven and earth, and it has the power to defy fate!"

"After all, many Great True Persons who haven't reached the Third Transformation of the Great Dao haven't even reached the First Origin in their spiritual state. This realm has nothing to do with the quantity or quality of spiritual power. Only the purest and truest can enter this realm. Otherwise, even if one's spiritual power reaches ten thousand points, it's just a mirage, a futile endeavor, and one will never become a saint..."

"Sage, the Nine Elements forge the Dao..."

At this moment, Qin Zhenru seemed to be responding to Fan Mengxin, but it also seemed to be speaking to herself.

But Fan Mengxin, upon hearing this, felt that what Han Yu saw was probably as real as it could possibly be. After all, she knew that even the Three Saints, at the third level of breaking through limits, at this age, had not yet approached the purity and truthfulness of their minds and spirits...

"Invincible under heaven..."

Once again, those four words, heavier than the three mountains and five peaks combined, surfaced in her mind, and her eyes glazed over.

……

"Qi, what happened today was so exciting, it's like a dream!"

"Furthermore, if I were to start practicing martial arts now, how long would it take me to attain the Dao?"

"I want to play with the giant iron ball too!"

After walking a distance outside, Sun Guang's energy level immediately returned.

"If it were you now, it would probably take you a very long time to attain enlightenment..."

"But it's not a big problem. I'll help you when your godfather becomes a saint in a few years!"

Li Qi sized up Sun Guang, did some mental calculations, and finally came to a conclusion.

"A few years? Are you sure it's a few years, not decades?!"

"Don't wait until I'm buried before you become a saint..."

Sun Guang didn't believe it at all. In fact, his first thought was to refute it, but when he thought about Li Qi playing with the iron ball, it seemed that becoming a saint was not impossible. But even if he really did become a saint, it would definitely be decades later.
