People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 484 A Blade and a Sword Bring Prosperity
Time passed, and since Li Qi had already caused a sensation by clearing ten levels yesterday, it was only natural for him to reach the top today. Although the result was exciting, the reaction was not very strong.

The main problem is that many people had already exhausted their emotions by yesterday morning.

Compared to yesterday's results, the prestige of winning first place in the Jiaolong Cup is still significantly lower.

But what Li Qi wants now is not the deep impression brought by being number one, but the Fate Points.

As a major event in Yunnan Province, the Jiaolong Cup has considerable influence.

After finishing the competition and receiving the trophy, Li Qi did not leave immediately. Like the Fish and Dragon Cup, the Jiaolong Cup also featured a personal interview with the entire Yunnan province.

In Yunnan Province, many people may not follow the Jiaolong Cup, but they all have the habit of watching the news.

Meanwhile, the video footage of the interview will also be included in the provincial historical records.

In addition to these, there was the customary practice of inscribing biographies on stone tablets.

In a short time, the inscription on the Li Family Ancestral Hall will be added again, and another one will be added after the Qianlong Cup is completed in the middle of next month.

Li Qi could even imagine the scene of the family's ancestral worship during the Spring Festival this year; it would definitely be very lively.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Qi was wandering around Yuncheng alone.

Sun Guang was exhausted from watching the game during the day, so he didn't have the energy to go out for a stroll in the evening. As for Li Qi, he planned to take a look at the core of the array in Yuncheng on this last night.

During his time here, he made progress every day, carefully pondering who had set up this place. He had a general idea of ​​who had done it. Although there was no detailed record in the local urban construction records of Yunnan Province, Li Qi had a vague feeling about it.

Li Qi walked through streets and corners, brushing past many people, until he finally arrived at a large square bustling with people.

The area is surrounded by tall buildings, but the central area is completely empty and spacious. Apart from some greenery and two huge sculptures, the entire plaza is empty and offers a panoramic view.

At this moment, Li Qi stood at the edge of the square, his gaze fixed on the two statues in the square. These statues did not depict any powerful figures, but rather a sword and a saber. The saber was a sacred saber, and the sword was a king's sword!
This is the weapon of the Holy King!

This sculpture is clearly the work of a master craftsman; from a distance, it truly replicates some of the sharpness of the Holy Sword King.

“Li Qi, as soon as you came over, you looked at this sword and this blade. It seems you have already figured out that this is the core of the entire Yun City formation.”

Just then, a voice rang out beside Li Qi, and then an old man walked over; it was Shen Zhiyu.

Li Qi was not surprised by this. He had sensed the other party's presence when he came over, but he was attracted by the swords and did not take the initiative to greet them.

"Is Principal Shen waiting for someone?!"

Li Qi glanced at the other person, his tone seemingly asking a question, but actually one of certainty.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to have also practiced the art of divination, and even have some skill in it."

"This morning I consulted the oracle, and it said that my friends are in the south, which is the direction of this square. If my old friends come to Yuncheng, they definitely won't miss this place."

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu glanced at Li Qi in surprise, not expecting that Li Qi could see through this.

While his martial arts skills were undoubtedly high, allowing him to see everything clearly, he was no ordinary person. He knew how to conceal his true strength, and without genuine skill, one couldn't discern his true intentions. "That sword strike was incredibly powerful, a single strike that ushered in a new era. After it was executed, the entire landscape of Yun City was completely transformed!"

"You know, in the very beginning, countless people said that Yuncheng was not a suitable place to build a city."

"You've already fought two battles with Zhuang Buzhou, so you probably already know that Zhuang Buzhou has a mysterious master, nicknamed 'Old Ghost Yi' in the martial arts world. The 'opening of swords and spears to usher in a new era' in Yuncheng was established by him."

"Swords and blades, yin and yang, splitting the earth and creating the heavens..."

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu sighed.

What Shen Zhiyu said was pretty much what Li Qi had guessed. He had sensed some traces of the Thirty-Three Heavens Ghost and God Karma Chart in the feng shui array of Yuncheng.

Seeing the subtle signs, Li Qi suspected that the other side had set up a large number of cities, each with its own ghost or god. If these cities were spread throughout the land, connecting the entire land like a human body, then they would have transformed martial arts into the earth.

However, Li Qi was only curious about the methods used in the other party's scheme, and did not care whether the other party would succeed.

There is no such thing as supernatural energy in the real world. Even if the other party really succeeds, using the Divine Land as his body, transforming the cities into ghosts and gods, establishing a Heavenly Emperor, and ruling the universe, he can only affect the intangible world and cannot interfere with the material world in the slightest.

As for using this certificate to become a demon god, that's even more of a joke.

The path to becoming a demon can only be found within; any external assistance is not an aid, but an obstacle.

According to Li Qi's foresight, the moment of becoming a demon god is a process of multiplication of the various powers within him. If there is some external force within him that he cannot control, once the power goes out of control, the only outcome will be death.

"However, compared to this, your sword crushing the young Saint is even more astonishing. Although Saint was just a data entity, it was still earth-shattering."

"Thinking back to the first time we met, I really didn't expect you to have achieved such accomplishments!"

Shen Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh.

"The Three Saints and Seven Immortals are indeed illustrious now, but I have more faith in you. They started from too high and don't understand the meaning of the humility of life. You rose from the mud and your roots are deeper. Perhaps you can go further than them."

"If we really have to look at the great fortune of humanity, then people who lived before the great fortune of humanity came into being should not have cultivated."

Shen Zhiyu laughed again.

"It's a pity that I've strayed far from the Daoist tradition, otherwise I could have given you some assistance."

"However, if you can make it into the top 100 in the Mountain and River Grand Trial next year, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy in nurturing you. The imperial court is the strongest sect, and there are hidden realms within it. You can use this to gradually improve your spirit. Although the effect is not as good as relying on your own strength to ride the wind and waves and cross the Void Sea little by little, it is still a shortcut!"

Shen Zhiyu did not explain the existence of the Void Sea to Li Qi, but he was convinced that Li Qi, having reached such a high level of cultivation, could not possibly be completely ignorant of the Void Sea.

Li Qi simply nodded in response, offering no rebuttal. He was perfectly capable of discerning whether a person acted with good intentions or malice.

The two chatted for a while longer, when suddenly a voice rang out: "Old Shen, is this your apprentice?!"

"Hmm, impossible. Such a person is exceptionally brilliant; you are not fortunate enough to be one of them."

Then a gaunt old man with white hair and beard, accompanied by a young man, suddenly appeared before the two.
