People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 573 A Lifetime as Fleeting as a Dream
The next morning, when Li Qi woke up, the panel log was refreshed, reminding him that he had gained some more lives, as well as an additional daily life increase.

Undoubtedly, his feat of suppressing the Seven Immortals with his sword is still spreading and gaining traction.

Li Qi didn't pay much attention to this. After waking up, he immediately practiced his sword skills, then started a dungeon and fought with the Mother of Wisdom.

Since breaking through the six major limits, this has become his daily routine. Each battle serves two purposes: firstly, to hone himself through countless trials and tribulations, and secondly, to learn the mysteries of psionic energy from his opponent.

As the ultimate form of psychic power, the Mother of Wisdom is itself an aggregation of infinite knowledge. If it weren't for the powerful force within her interfering with Li Qi's perception of reality, this would be a living psychic book.

In reality, Li Qi is becoming stronger at an alarming rate. In the dungeon, he is also constantly learning and optimizing his spiritual energy skills, refining himself through countless trials without the slightest slack or waste.

As for practicing swordsmanship in dungeons, that would be a huge waste.

As for the world fragment opposite the biohazard instance, Li Qi had tried it before, and even after his will broke through the six major limits, he was still 0.4 points short of crossing the Ruins of Light.

This is quite different from what Li Qi had predicted.

Clearly, this was a unique power of the Great Ruins that interfered with his senses, causing him to misjudge the situation. This wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

However, Li Qi also discovered that the light of the ruins at the boundary was becoming weaker and weaker over time.

If given enough time, the two fragments of the world will definitely connect naturally one day.

"At this rate of change, I should be able to reach the other side in another day or two."

"My basic cheat is too unreliable. I hope that the world fragment on the other side has the potential to allow me to destroy the Mother of Wisdom in a short time."

"It's the world fragment on the other side. Could it also be one of the six dungeons I drew before? It's like the dungeons are all clustered together."

"But that makes sense. My cheat program probably uses some kind of proximity principle to extract dungeons, since it consumes less energy..."

Li Qi arrived at high altitude, glanced at the boundary between the two world fragments, and then began to fight with the Mother of Wisdom.

Just like when he fought the Martial Arts Celestial, he went around in circles and returned to the starting point, only this time the boss was even stronger.

In his instance, even someone at the half-shattered stage would get beaten up...

……

When Li Qi went out in the morning, he saw a helicopter carrying a square stone tablet, heading towards the Li family ancestral hall.

This stone is the stele that Li Qi erected after achieving the highest rank in the imperial examinations, becoming the first among the three generations of scholars to pass the examinations!

Unlike the Fish Dragon and the Flood Dragon, the Hidden Dragon Cup is many times more valuable than the former two. Therefore, it is treated with greater solemnity in all aspects. According to the court's etiquette, the first stone to be used for the Hidden Dragon Cup must be made of gold and stone!

This "golden stone" does not refer to any golden stone, but rather to a stone that is pure in color and clear in texture, and which, when struck, produces a clear and melodious sound like metal.

Throughout history, this material has always been reserved for imperial use. Even now, if a private individual uses it and is caught, it is a serious offense.

It was precisely because it took time for the stone tablet to be delivered that the matter of erecting the monument has been delayed until now.

In Lijia Village, almost everyone was alerted by the noise of the helicopter. As soon as they saw the stone tablet hanging on it, they knew what had happened.

Such a scene evoked a variety of emotions in many people.

After all, they and Li Qi were related by blood and had a very close relationship; many of them had even watched Li Qi grow up.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the once unremarkable boy would achieve the highest honors in the imperial examinations? With a single stroke, the seven immortals bowed their heads.

For them, this was no longer a legendary story, but a dream, a myth!

Even though two days had passed, seeing this scene still stirred up their emotions.

Seeing this, Li Qi did not hesitate and slowly walked towards the ancestral hall.

When he arrived, a large crowd had already gathered there. The official craftsmen and their entourage of scribes had arrived even before the stone tablet, demonstrating the importance the imperial court attached to this matter.

“This is how to act justly, so that grace is impartial and does not cause evil in people’s hearts.”

Such a thought arose in Li Qi's mind.

Martial artists are terrifyingly destructive. If a faction restricts martial artists in every way and acts unjustly, it is not far from its demise.

In ancient times, there were also emperors who were foolish enough to have the wild idea of ​​eliminating martial arts and keeping martial arts under their own control, which led to the change of dynasties.

Every time Li Qi read history, he felt that this matter was very absurd, but when he thought about the various suffocating actions of the Song Dynasty in his previous life, it seemed reasonable. There are no so many wise and powerful people. The world is just a huge makeshift organization. Many things are just things that people come up with on a whim.

Wisdom and courage are not passed down through bloodlines.

Li Changqing was also present at this time, serving as the supervisor throughout the entire process to prevent any mistakes or omissions.

However, it was still very early, and not many of the younger members of the Li family had the habit of getting up early, so most of those present at this time were Li Qi's elders.

However, these people now instinctively avert their gaze when they see Li Qi, and don't even dare to look at him for long.

Although Li Qi usually kept his aura restrained and did not deliberately show off his strength, the halo of passing the imperial examination with top honors still made these clansmen feel a kind of pressure.

Li Qi was so dazzling that even without doing anything, he made them feel like they were being burned.

Li Qi made no comment on this, but simply watched as the stone tablet slowly fell onto the prepared mat, and watched the inscription being carved word by word, until finally, it stood together with the two previous stone tablets.

Fish-dragon, jiaolong, qianlong!
Thus, he achieved the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations!
"Without realizing it, I've reached this point..."

"Life is but a fleeting dream!"

Subconsciously, Li Qi looked back. Behind him was the gate of the ancestral hall, but at that moment, Li Qi seemed to see his past self.

The present self and the past self meet in a glance.

Li Qi himself didn't move, but in a daze, his past self walked further and further away until he could no longer see it.

Then, at noon that day, someone in the Li family group tagged everyone, asking those who could come back to return so that the whole family could hold a ancestral worship ceremony at nine o'clock the next morning, announcing to the ancestors and descendants that a son of Qilin had achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations!

Normally, ancestor worship is a major ceremony held once a year. Sacrifices are important events, and too many are considered inauspicious. Smaller ceremonies don't have as many rules, but major ceremonies do.

But there are always exceptions, they're just hard to achieve.

Just like when Li Qi won the championship, he only privately worshipped his ancestors and did not hold a clan ceremony.

But this time is different; achieving the highest honors in all three imperial examinations is undoubtedly of a special significance.
