Chapter 661: First time in the immortal world

In Outer Void, Li Qi thought for a moment, then took out his Ghost Chariot.

This thing still looked very cool, and it could also dive into the netherworld. It was just that Li Qi never had much chance to use it. Well, it would serve as his daily transportation.

Then, he used a Divine Ability to conjure a whip, gently tied the other party, and hung her behind the Ghost Chariot.

Li Qi dared not be in the same room with a Young Miss like her.

Otherwise, if she woke up, it would be hard to explain.

With a Young Miss like her, the further away, the better. Don't cause too much trouble. Being in the same room would only lead to problems for himself.

Alas, he missed his rabbit.

After so many years apart, his own wife was still the most reassuring.

When he was with her, Li Qi's mind would be much calmer. Unfortunately, he couldn't; Shen Shuibi also had her own mission.

Everyone was an adult, so they naturally understood these principles and wouldn't complain.

But as soon as he saw a Young Miss like Yao Ji, Li Qi couldn't help but think of his own wife.

Alas...

Alas...!!!

Li Qi sighed three times in a row, then drove the Ghost Chariot, speeding through the Void Realm towards the two pulsar locations.

By estimating the signal transmission and blinking rate of the pulsars, one could determine their relative distance from the two pulsars, thus avoiding getting lost.

This was also a common way to find one's way in Outer Void.

It was just that there was no light from the pulsars before, but after Li Qi interfered with reality and determined the future, the light from the pulsars appeared.

This didn't appear out of thin air, but rather 'originally had a small probability of appearing'. It was just that this small probability hadn't been encountered before, but under Li Qi's interference, this small probability event was encountered.

Thus, the light appeared, as if it had been there from the very beginning, countless years ago, just not yet transmitted to this location.

Li Qi's arrival caused these lights to 'deviate' from their source, and then, with a small probability, they were transmitted here.

This was how, by determining the future, the 'cause' changed, which in turn caused the 'effect' to change, so the 'light' that wasn't originally there appeared out of thin air.

Li Qi changed reality, and even changed a part of history.

It was very strange, but that was the fact. This was the power of the Third Grade method Li Qi had comprehended, so formidable.

In the Void Realm, time slowly passed. Li Qi drove the Ghost Chariot at a speed thousands of times the Heavenly Dao limit, slowly making his way through the emptiness.

It was indeed slow. Although the speed had reached thousands of times the Heavenly Dao limit, the distance was still very far. It would likely take several years to reach the destination.

There was no other way; Zhu Fengdan had run off, and they should have arrived much earlier.

Time passed little by little. After a bit more than a year, having covered about a quarter of the distance, Li Qi had already traversed nearly ten thousand light-years.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came to Li Qi's ear.

“A Divine Ability akin to the Third Grade, you are quite capable, but why did you tie me outside?”

Li Qi looked back and saw that Yao Ji had already woken up.

Slept for a year... what could he say?

He could only say, she truly lived up to her name as a Mountain Spirit.

“Young Miss Yao Ji, my chariot is not clean, it's not suitable to invite you inside, so I can only do this. Please bear with me,” Li Qi said indifferently.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was Li Qi's perfunctory attitude, not wanting to get too close.

However, Yao Ji didn't seem to notice, only nodding: “Oh, so that's how it is. That's fine then, I'll just continue sleeping.”

She was extremely calm and didn't feel that her situation was special. After confirming that Li Qi had found the direction, she praised him slightly, then turned her head and fell asleep again...

Li Qi was speechless for a moment.

This kind of person, going on a mission to a First Grade world with him...

Teacher Zhu, oh Teacher Zhu, why am I not as strong-fisted and daring as you?

Of course, Li Qi only dared to think about it.

Zhu Fengdan had already made her move and been captured, so he should be more cautious.

Time continued to flow, and Li Qi continued forward.

Soon, he discovered that he was indeed approaching something extremely grand, because Li Qi had already realized something.

The Void Realm where Star-Mansion Array sent them was very close to those two 'pulsars', only a few tens of thousands of light-years away.

Tens of thousands of light-years sounds vast, but in reality, it's not that much. Li Qi could cover it in a few years. They could almost be said to be 'sticking to the pulsars'.

And the Void Realm they were in was far more than tens of thousands.

Through Li Qi's calculations during his journey over the years, taking the two pulsars as the center, the surrounding Void Realm had a radius of at least three billion light-years.

A huge Void Realm with a radius of three billion light-years.

At Li Qi's fastest speed, covering ten thousand light-years a year, it would take thirty thousand years to get out of this Void Realm.

Who the hell would spend thirty thousand years walking around in an outer Void Realm for no reason?!

And this was Li Qi; his speed was very fast. If it were an ordinary Fifth Grade, or even a Sixth Grade or Seventh Grade world-class giant ship, a speed of ten times the Heavenly Dao limit would be considered fast.

In other words, it would take them sixty million years to cross this great Void Realm.

Sixty million years.

This amount of time is enough for rats to evolve into humanoid races. It only took sixty-five million years for dinosaurs to go extinct and humans to evolve. Many worlds would fall, and countless civilizations would experience rise and fall, so for ordinary worlds, traversing this super-large Void Realm is not feasible.

But! Remember, but!

This level of Void Realm should never appear under normal circumstances. Gravity forms a fibrous network structure, and the center of the network must have a Void Realm, but the fibers are very dense. Generally speaking, a Void Realm of tens of millions of light-years is already considered very large.

A radius of three billion light-years, which means a diameter of six billion light-years. This span is simply too terrifying, so terrifying that Li Qi can't even imagine what this distance truly represents...

The Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of one hundred thousand light-years. One hundred thousand Milky Ways would need to be lined up to connect a single line.

This terrifying size led Li Qi to implicitly draw a conclusion—

That is, this Void Realm was definitely not natural.

This was an artificially created Void Realm. From Zhu Fengdan's previous description of the 'Immortal Heaven', it could be seen that the 'Immortal Heaven' were extremely exclusive. They did not like the outside world, especially the World.

Then, for a First Grade world, directly clearing out all worlds within six billion light-years around itself to create a massive Void Realm centered on itself seems to be a logical thing to do.

They had the ability and the reason to do this.

This made Li Qi's heart tremble.

Six billion light-years, how many worlds would that be? And how many civilizations?

Immortal Heaven... No wonder Zhu Fengdan specifically called it an 'unfriendly' world.

Simply because of exclusivity, they didn't want contact with the outside world, so they cleared out so much space to give themselves 'peace and quiet'.

This was truly...

Li Qi shook his head.

No wonder they had to find people like himself and Yao Ji to set out, and even only himself and Yao Ji, it was all because of this.

After all, it was a First Grade world, and it certainly had its own Dao. Even if it was violent or even barbaric, it still had its own set of understandings and views on the world.

Thinking this, he continued forward.

Soon, Li Qi got closer and closer to the pulsars.

Not long after, he suddenly saw... a massive continent.

That's right, a continent.

When he saw that continent, Li Qi suddenly realized where the matter within a six-billion-light-year radius had gone.

Immortal Heaven, this was the 'Immortal Heaven'.

This was similar to the World, a massive continent measured in light-years, floating in the Void Realm, but with a thin layer of world barrier around it.

This... this was the Immortal Heaven?

Was the Immortal Heaven actually such a huge continent?

No, this shouldn't be the Immortal Heaven. This was the outer perimeter of the Immortal Heaven.

A massive Restriction. Li Qi could feel a heavy sense of oppression, even though he was still several light-years away.

However, several light-years was actually very close.

“What terrifying pressure, as expected of a First Grade world.” At this moment, Yao Ji suddenly spoke again.

Li Qi turned his head and saw that she had woken up again.

However, they had arrived at their destination, so it was time to wake up.

“Li Qi, put me down,” Yao Ji commanded naturally, “I'll explain what we need to do.”

For some reason, Li Qi always felt that this woman particularly easily angered him.

He really wanted to hit her.

But since they would be colleagues later, and he still needed to show his excellence to the Immortal Heaven, he didn't say much. He reached out and undid the Divine Ability, bringing Yao Ji onto the Ghost Chariot.

“Yao Ji, do you have any insights? Earlier, when you commented on my Divine Ability, my teacher's Divine Ability, and the Restrictions here, you seemed to know a lot about them,” Li Qi said.

Yao Ji, as always, maintained that ordinary, indifferent arrogance.

It was a kind of careless nonchalance. She didn't deliberately pretend to be wealthy or arrogant, but her subconscious words and actions gave people a sense of superiority.

So, she replied, “No insights. They are all minor tricks. Let's just go straight in.”

Li Qi nodded slightly.

He believed her.

Thus, the Ghost Chariot accelerated, quickly breaking through the last few light-years of distance, arriving outside the world barrier of this continent.

This world barrier was clearly artificial.

Yao Ji glanced at the world barrier: “This barrier isolates gravity. The abnormal gravity around is due to this thing. Except for some natural celestial bodies formed by nearby debris, all other matter has already entered the interior. Let's go in too.”

Saying that, she waved her hand casually.

The world barrier was pierced through.

Li Qi looked at Yao Ji with a strange expression.

What a beautiful move! A world barrier like this was quite difficult to break open, and this was a world barrier created by a First Grade world, yet it opened with a single touch.

“Quick,” Yao Ji commanded.

Li Qi then drove the Ghost Chariot inside.

Upon entering, Li Qi immediately felt a special power.

Gravity had disappeared.

No, gravity hadn't disappeared, but rather turned 'downwards'.

This 'down' was towards the continent below.

Still not right, gravity had indeed disappeared!

Gravity should be caused by mass, a manifestation of large masses attracting smaller masses.

But at this moment, this downward force did not change due to 'mass'; it simply went downwards.

Even if you landed on the other side of this continent, you would still fall 'downwards', rather than standing on the other side and having up and down inverted.

Up and down were fixed here.

Just as Li Qi was puzzled, Yao Ji beside him spoke: “The Da Tu's Geomagnetic Force, a power completely different from gravity. Interesting, isn't it? This is a man-made direction. Let's go, we're going down.”

“Don't worry about anything else. This is the Immortal Heaven. No one will come to greet us, and when we arrived here, they probably already knew. Just go down and do our own thing.”

Li Qi frowned: “If we don't have a goal, what are we going down to do?”

“Do whatever you want. Didn't Third Zhu tell you? We are here to display ourselves. There's no need to deliberately say anything; they will see for themselves,” Yao Ji said indifferently.

Li Qi nodded slightly.

This was something he could understand, so be it.

As they spoke, the Ghost Chariot landed on the edge of the continent.

The scope of this continent had to be measured in light-years, so it was impossible to go too far inward; they could only stop at the edge.

The Heavenly Dao limit truly became a 'limit' here. The Heavenly Dao here had almost the same oppressive force as the World. Li Qi couldn't easily change the upper limit, so this was all he could do.

Landing on the ground, Li Qi looked around.

The place they landed was a forest. The Great Source of Heaven and Earth here was relatively weak, with no particularly high-grade areas.

“This should be the mortal realm. Let's continue towards the center and first find a way to enter the 'True World',” Li Qi said to Yao Ji beside him.

“Simple. The scope of the True World will definitely change the Great Dao. We just need to find the weak points of the Great Dao in the mortal realm, or simply find a Seventh Grade who is about to be elevated to the True World for mining,” Yao Ji said.

“That's feasible. Then let's go to a populated place, search for a Seventh Grade who is about to Ascend, and follow them to the True World. I'll divine a bit and use Qi observation to see where Qi is gathered,” Li Qi said, activating his Qi observation vision to search for concentrations of Qi.

Generally speaking, a large gathering of Qi indicates many living beings in that place. No matter what kind of life, there must be a leader. If not, it's not difficult for Li Qi to cultivate a Seventh Grade himself.

However, Li Qi hadn't found anything yet when he saw Yao Ji bending down and taking off her shoes.

Yao Ji nodded in agreement while taking off her shoes: “Okay, but I've been in the Void Realm for too long, I need to wash up. You help me wash my clothes and shoes. I'll wear them later.”

She said this extremely naturally.

Li Qi's fists hardened.

At this moment, Li Qi was truly convinced.

Yao Ji, from beginning to end, didn't consider him a human at all.
