People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 590 Piercing Through Time and Space
Three days later, Li Qi arrived on land. Compared to land, the sea was undoubtedly much larger and not monotonous. What was monotonous was the surface of the sea, but the world inside was vast, magnificent, and wonderful.

Abundant species and unique landforms.

During the ten days, Li Qi did not spend the entire time at sea. Occasionally, on a whim, he would dive into the sea, drift with the ocean currents for a while, or simply eat raw seafood.

In a sense, Li Qi has already reached the top of the food chain. There are very few life forms in this world that are stronger than him now.

Even if there were some ancient deep-sea monsters in the ocean, they would never be his match.

Natural evolution has its limits. One of the meanings of spiritual practice is to transcend the limits of natural evolution through wisdom.

If being naturally gifted is the strongest, it is a denial of wisdom.

However, as Li Qi traveled along, his mind reflecting the heavens and the sea, he did not find any trace of ancient deep-sea monsters.

Li Qi wasn't sure whether he hadn't traveled enough or whether the ancient deep-sea monsters were simply stories fabricated by the ancients, belonging to the category of cheap, mass-produced literature.

At this moment, as Li Qi stepped onto land, glanced at the sun overhead, felt the solid ground beneath his feet, and looked back in the direction he had come from, the horizon where the sea met the sky evoked a strange feeling in him.

Ten days have passed, and we've crossed the ocean!
Undoubtedly, having cultivated martial arts to such a level, or rather, having completed the evolution of life to such a level, he has conquered the earth and the ocean, and the changes of nature are no longer an obstacle to him.

Human beings are always troubled by nature, with mountains, rivers, wind, and rain blocking their way.

Certainly, because of the existence of wisdom, humankind has conquered the world by opening up mountains, building bridges over rivers, and constructing ships across the sea.

But tools are ultimately external objects, which is fundamentally different from everything returning to itself.

"Earth, ocean..."

"The world of humans, the world of all living beings..."

At this moment, once again, a change occurred in Li Qi's spiritual world. Numerous pieces of information from various scenes converged and fused together, transforming into a vast ocean, but not a pure sea; it was more like a pot of hot soup.

Then, in the realm of the mind, thunder manifested, stirring the ocean and evolving the primordial state of life...

Undoubtedly, this is what Li Qi has been pursuing step by step on this journey.

Although ten days is a short time, his half of the innate talent of a demon god is not bad. The gains in ten days are even more than many masters have in ten years.

After all, many masters never become saints in their entire lives, so why should they try to take advantage of Li Qi now?!
As for ordinary people, even if they soak in the sea for thousands of years, if they don't cultivate their nature and just look at it from the perspective of mortals, then those thousands or tens of thousands of years are all in vain.

Li Qi's saying "ten days is equivalent to ten years" refers to the ten years of a master, and its lower limit refers to a semi-saint or even a great master.

With the attainment of the Nine Yuan and the breaking of six limits, the depth of Li Qi's understanding is something that even some semi-saints might not be able to grasp even after a hundred years.

However, unlike the spiritual world's forging of the Nine Provinces, this time Li Qi's transformation was much faster. In just half an hour, the ocean in his spiritual world disappeared, and Li Qi's mental activity level only increased by about one-tenth, not as huge as the last time.

Ultimately, the ocean lacks intelligence. While it is rich in species, it lacks the accumulation and sedimentation of spiritual information. For martial arts masters, the most nourishing thing is human wisdom and the spirit of humanity.

Those long years, the accumulation of countless people's wisdom and spirit, are the most wonderful part.

Of course, the ocean has its own unique flavor, and to focus solely on human needs while ignoring the myriad phenomena of the universe is undoubtedly a misguided approach.

Perhaps one can achieve immortality in the mortal world, but pure humanity cannot prove one's status as a demon god. Li Qi would naturally not make such a mistake.

"I remember in my past life, the only time I ever saw the sea was when I was a cow or a horse on a business trip..."

"There was a time when my heart's desire was to go to the seaside. But if nothing unexpected happens, many people may never see the sea in their lifetime. They can't go when they are young, they don't have time when they are young, and they lose interest when they are old."

"The greatest suffering in this world is not necessarily the inability to obtain what one desires, but rather that when one can obtain it, it has already lost its flavor..."

As Li Qi regained consciousness and sensed the growth and changes in his spiritual world, he looked at the ocean and the same thought arose in his mind.

The sea is just the sea, with no special meaning. What gives the ocean meaning is people, or rather, a certain period of time in a person's life, their past self.

"Fortunately, I still have this life, and this life is different."

"The human world! The human world!"

Li Qi let out a long breath, then turned his back and didn't linger.

What's past is past.

More than ten minutes later, Li Qi arrived at a small town by the sea. The town was abandoned, but from the traces in the ruins, Li Qi could tell that it had once been prosperous.

Some blurry patterns and text signs indicate that the area was once a thriving fishing region.

"Because the people here suddenly started getting strange illnesses, and some even grew scale-like things on their bodies, so people gradually moved away..."

"The townspeople here believe it was a curse from the sea god."

Standing under the oldest tree in the town, Li Qi's spirit seemed to pierce through time and space, transporting him to the past and allowing him to learn about the town's history.

In Buddhism, humans actually have nine senses, including six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought. Everyone is in a state of awakening.

Beyond the six senses, there are three other senses: the seventh sense (time), the eighth sense (space), and the ninth sense (roots).

The sense of time refers to the subtle perception of time, and even the ability to foresee the short future. Li Qi had already possessed this extraordinary ability long ago.

Spatial awareness is the ability to perceive beyond the limits of space, to sense malice from distant places.

In a sense, sincerity is the union of these two perceptions.

As for the final sense of origin, it is a single thought that allows one to see clearly the past, present, and future. One can know whatever one wants to know, reaching the origin of oneself and the origin of the universe.

If Li Qi had achieved the Dao in the dungeon and become a Qi Dao Demon God, he would likely have possessed such immense power.

As for simply attaining enlightenment, one can only gain insight into the past and present, but cannot accurately foresee the future.

Just like the first six senses, the latter three senses are not something you can cultivate in order to have the first one. Everyone has nine senses, but the latter three senses are too mysterious and ordinary people cannot control them, so they naturally fall into obscurity.

Li Qi's overall life state is becoming increasingly powerful, with his nine senses constantly strengthening, and the three subsequent senses also emerging as a result.
