People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 603 Seeking the Way Comes Before Compassion

As for Cynthia, Li Qi had met her before, but only online. On the outside world, she was very famous and was hailed as the most dazzling pearl of Eris.

On the one hand, she is beautiful and looks a lot like a saint; on the other hand, she likes to post her daily life on her personal account, which naturally gives her countless fans.

For a period of time, Sun Guang kept calling her his number one goddess, and even Li Qi's external account followed her private account.

However, what you see online and what you see in real life are naturally different.

For both Sun Guang and Li Qi at that time, Cynthia was undoubtedly an extremely distant figure.

The other person is outstanding, beautiful, from a distinguished family, and has countless honors to her name. Yet, the two of them spend most of their time discussing what to eat when they go out on weekends...

As for meeting each other in real life, or even spending time alone together, neither of them would dare to do it even in their wildest dreams.

Unfortunately, now that Li Qi has transcended the ordinary and attained sainthood, it takes countless courage for the other party to stand in front of him. When he looks at him, he feels no ripples in his heart. The only change is that the shadow of his past self flashes by for a fleeting moment.

Meanwhile, Cynthia was also observing Li Qi, her heart filled with turmoil. Her eyes could indeed see Li Qi, but in her telepathic perception, she felt that the person in front of her had transcended the illusion of physical appearance and had actually reached another space-time, at a higher level.

It's almost like in their myths and legends, a great god in a divine kingdom looking down upon all living beings.

The other person wasn't much taller than her, but she felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Compared to what she saw in the online videos, meeting the Daoist in person was even more terrifying to her.

It truly is like a mayfly gazing at the blue sky upon first sight.

They may seem close at hand, but in reality, they are separated by several dimensions.

She was a very proud person, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat. She couldn't imagine that this mysterious Daoist was almost the same age as her.

She was nineteen, but all the sages asserted that the Daoist Master's age was no more than twenty.

"There is no such thing as a golden city; it's just a sage's perverse pleasure."

"People believe that saints do not lie, or rather, they disdain to lie to ants, but saints are also human and can make wicked jokes."

Li Qi's voice rang out, calm and even.

At this moment, his gaze also fell upon the oil painting, which was a self-portrait of a saint.

As for the secret of the Golden City, it is said that after the saint of the Kingdom of Elisk attained sainthood, he dreamed of a golden kingdom where golden fruits existed. If one could obtain them, one could gain infinite spiritual wealth and even lay the foundation for sainthood.

She hid the way to enter the Golden City in seven treasures; whoever can collect them all will have a chance to obtain the Golden Fruit.

She also left behind a ballad describing the location of the treasure.

Fifty years ago, this passage inspired countless adventurers to search for the Sage's Seven Treasures. As time has passed, six of the seven treasures have now appeared, and they do indeed contain the Sage's spiritual information, thus naturally belonging to the category of treasures.

But the last one has never been found, not because there was no capable person, but because the last one simply does not exist.

This matter might be kept secret from others, but it couldn't escape Li Qi's keen insight. Of course, the legend of the Golden City might not be entirely false; the saint of Eris did indeed dream of something very mysterious when he attained sainthood.

"I came here only to wait for someone to kill me."

Li Qi's voice echoed, but the content of his words startled Cynthia.

This is the Dao Venerable, now hailed as invincible below the level of a sage. Without a sage appearing, who can kill him, and who dares to challenge him to a battle?!

Furthermore, the other party spoke of life and death in such a nonchalant way, yet it was precisely these nonchalant words that made her feel a sense of invincible spirit, like a towering cliff.

She had seen countless elite figures and many powerful masters, but many people, even those with high martial arts skills, lacked this invincible spirit.

This made her deeply curious about what kind of environment could create such a person, who was about the same age as her, but whose entire being seemed to exude invincibility.

This feeling made her heart skip a beat.

"The time is almost up, the storm is coming, a downpour, the perfect time to kill!"

Li Qi turned around, and as he spoke, he walked slowly and deliberately outside, leaving Cynthia with only his back to him.

Cynthia didn't follow them. Instead, she took another route, took the elevator, and ended up on the clock tower on the top floor of the museum, overlooking the huge square outside.

She knew that Dao Zun must have chosen this place as the battlefield.

Although she didn't know why this place had been chosen, she felt an overwhelming sense of anticipation rising within her.

She naturally didn't know that Li Qi chose this place simply because there were many cameras here, so that Dr. Qi could pinpoint his location. Also, the square here was spacious, stretching over two thousand meters in length and width, and was usually almost deserted, making it the perfect battlefield.

If this happens in a crowded place, it's inevitable that innocent people will be harmed.

To outsiders, Li Qi appears to be a ruthless killer, capricious, and indifferent to all living beings, but in reality, he is compassionate.

But the pursuit of truth comes before compassion!
At this moment, the sky outside was covered with gloomy, dark clouds. Above, the wind and thunder surged, and the gale swept up the fallen leaves on the square. The howling wind, accompanied by muffled thunder, sounded like the horn of doomsday.

And it wasn't just Cynthia; at this moment, the kingdom's high-ranking officials, and even the surrounding countries large and small, and many powerful nations, all focused their attention on this place.

The Daoist's revelation of his whereabouts is, in this day and age, a momentous event. Once the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Erisk learned of it, the news could not be kept secret. It is a basic operation for countries to place intelligence agents in other countries. Countries with saints are even more closely watched. The slightest breeze will be noticed by all countries.

In just this short period of time, not only was the museum's surveillance system riddled with holes from hacking, but the sheer number of intruders even caused network lag.

Even countless satellites in the sky were pointed at this direction, transmitting images back immediately.

Although the square is empty and deserted, at this moment, the number of people watching this place is enormous.

This was just the beginning. Not long after, the world's largest dark web EXE also featured the surveillance footage on its homepage, charging viewers to watch. Even with the payment, the number of viewers surged to over three billion in a short period of time.

Compared to the world's total population, this is less than one percent, but keep in mind, this has only been going on for a few minutes!
