Chapter 698: Get out of here

Li Qi had never realized how beautiful this world was.

He realized that, in fact, beauty requires comparison.

Before, he didn't understand the beauty of this world; he took it for granted.

But when he sealed himself off, separated from everything for so long, a full fifty thousand years passed, he was completely immersed in his own world.

However, when he came out, comparing this world to his own, he finally realized the difference.

At this moment, the real world he was in was the greatest miracle itself.

So rich, grand, yet so simple, and beautiful, even the word 'miracle' was insufficient to describe it.

Every parameter in the entire Major Thousand Worlds was extremely precise; Li Qi had already done his best to meticulously set every parameter in his own world, but compared to this world that nourished countless people and gave birth to countless civilizations, his world was as crude as a child's toy.

Under the True Knowledge Dao Resonance, he could feel the precision of this world; if any parameter had a subtle difference, this real world would not be the world it is today, and no life would be possible... No, not even the most basic matter would be possible, the Universe would be completely unrecognizable, and who knows what it would become.

To what extent is this precision?

For example, in the so-called Planck time, the smallest division of time (10^-43 seconds), if the energy of a Big Bang were released, the balance of this explosion would need to be accurate to 1/(10^60); if the initial explosive force had a difference of 1/(10^60), the currently existing Universe would not exist.

What kind of precision is this? To give an analogy, it's like being at one point in the Universe, then traveling 20 billion light-years away, aiming at a coin 20 billion light-years away, and then throwing a grain of rice to accurately hit that coin—that aiming precision is 1/(10^60).

Moreover, there can be no interference in between; you can't correct it by navigating and adjusting along the way; it's purely determined by the force at the initial moment of the throw, to judge whether you can hit it.

And, most importantly...

This kind of coincidence isn't just once or twice.

In this world, every minute, every second, every pulsation of the heart, every jump of electricity, every operation of the world clusters, the gurgling of water, the rustling of wind and trees, everything—light, electricity, sound, matter—all things, in every instant, are constantly repeating miracles of such precision.

What immense power! And how exquisite is such a world?!

Moreover, all of this, everything in the world, is interconnected; for example, electricity and magnetism seem to be completely different forces, seemingly unrelated, but with careful discovery, their essence is one force.

In other words...

Li Qi set many, many constants, and many, many parameters to stabilize his world, applying many patches.

But the real world only set one parameter.

One parameter transformed into all things, and then gave rise to these endless, repeating miracles.

The former Li Qi had overlooked such days, but now he realized that every minute, every second, every moment, every day, a miracle was unfolding.

Li Qi had previously grown accustomed to such miracles, finding nothing special about them, just like someone who eats delicacies every day eventually gets used to them.

But when he looked at his own world, personally created a Dao, and used his Dao to reference a brand new parallel world, truly getting hands-on, reaching Fourth Grade, and being able to understand these parameters, then comparing them...

His mind instantly broadened considerably.

It truly broadened a great, great deal.

He suddenly woke up from his miniature heaven and earth, took a deep breath, and gazed at this miraculous world.

This is... the real world.

Li Qi sighed, his eyes clearing.

"Awake?" Zhu Fengdan looked at Li Qi and said.

"Thank you, Master... Otherwise, I might still be immersed in my own narrowness," Li Qi respectfully bowed to Teacher Zhu.

A Master's grace is hard to repay, but proper etiquette must still be observed.

"Alright, no need for thanks, it's awkward; I'll take you back," Zhu Fengdan didn't say anything playful this time, just looked at his disciple.

He really had something; after his Breakthrough to Fourth Grade, he didn't swell with pride at all, but... it was somewhat expected, after all, he had always been timid, and it was already good that he could show some spirit now.

Saying this, Zhu Fengdan grabbed Li Qi.

The Fourth Grade Li Qi was even more perceptive than his Fifth Grade self; he could clearly perceive that around Zhu Fengdan—the Heavenly Dao limit no longer existed.

At this moment, Zhu Fengdan was not 'modifying the Heavenly Dao limit,' but directly breaking through this Universe and entering his own world.

He wasn't teleporting at all; he was speeding in the Void Realm!

In this world, the upper limit of the speed of light is—infinite; you actually need to increase your power to lower your speed.

It's like speeding; the car's speed is at its maximum from the start, and then you have to exert effort to press the clutch; the harder you press, the slower the speed.

Because the speed of light is inherently infinite; it's just that this infinity manifests as 'c' in normal speed.

At this moment, normal speed no longer existed; Zhu Fengdan's speed was approaching 'infinity,' and he still had to press the clutch to slow down.

Very easily, almost in an instant, he 'swept past' three billion light-years, breaking through the void around the Immortal Heaven.

Then, infinite starlight flashed all around.

Because, at near-infinite speed, light rays would pile up in front, causing a near-infinite amount of starlight to converge into a ball before his eyes.

Then Zhu Fengdan stopped.

Where he stopped, there was a flying boat.

Li Qi was very familiar with this flying boat; he had been inside it before, letting Qin Lan pilot it to various places to fulfill the duties of the Palm Slayer.

When Zhu Fengdan came to find him to go to the Immortal Heaven, he also handed over with the Young Heavenly Master here before leaving.

At this very moment, the Young Heavenly Master was lying 'dead' inside the flying boat.

Unlike Li Qi's Breakthrough to Fourth Grade, he didn't look like he was about to make a Breakthrough at all; on the contrary, he seemed to be troubled by the power of Fourth Grade, experiencing it prematurely, which made him confused about the world again.

However... Li Qi could see that this was also an Opportunity.

When he could solve this confusion, breaking through to Fourth Grade would be a natural progression for him.

Of course, if he couldn't overcome it, his Dao Heart would naturally waver, his cultivation would stagnate, and he might even fall.

Sensing the Young Heavenly Master inside, Li Qi asked Zhu Fengdan, "Why didn't you distort space-time so he could also think quietly alone?"

"Not everyone can comprehend the Dao while in prison; distorted space-time is a prison, not a Dragon Field," Zhu Fengdan casually replied, then led Li Qi inside.

Of course, sometimes, a prison is a Dragon Field.

The driver Bo Yue had assigned to Li Qi, Qin Lan, was currently taking care of the Young Heavenly Master; this favored son of Heaven lay on the bed, his eyes dazed, but from the Qi around him, he was constantly trying something.

As for Qin Lan, it was clear that when the Young Heavenly Master returned, this young girl had already realized that the 'Li Qi' she had followed for over a hundred years was not the true 'Li Qi'; although she didn't know who the Young Heavenly Master was, he was certainly not 'Li Qi'.

But she still chose to take care of the Young Heavenly Master, even parking the flying boat here.

Li Qi and Zhu Fengdan did not hide themselves; the two walked into the flying boat, startling Qin Lan.

But Li Qi smiled, showed his Palm Slayer proof, and revealed his Qi, explaining that he was the true Li Qi.

"Alright, Little Qin, I'm back; take a rest; oh, and this is my Master," Li Qi introduced Zhu Fengdan.

This sentence almost scared Qin Lan silly.

Li Qi the Palm Slayer's Master...

Everyone knew that Li Qi was a Young Master, and his Master was Grand Invoker!

After realizing, Qin Lan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Invoker, greetings, Grand Invoker... Junior, Junior—"

She was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say, and didn't know where to put the teacup she was holding for the Young Heavenly Master.

"Alright, rest; as for this person's matter, it was arranged by me, no need to think too much about it," Zhu Fengdan said proactively, then used a command to take over her thoughts, telling her to sit and wait by the side.

Qin Lan, in a daze, simply agreed, then walked out, put down the things in her hands, and then voluntarily left the flying boat, running into Outer Void.

After running a long distance, she finally came to her senses.

Just now... she met a Great Shaman?

Leaving aside the young girl's thoughts, Li Qi and his Master sat down beside the Young Heavenly Master.

Zhu Fengdan spoke first: "Not bad, Little Zhang, everyone loves you; it hasn't been that long, and a young girl is already devoted to you."

At this moment, Zhang Zong barely managed to support himself, propping himself up from the bed, shaking his head: "Great Shaman, don't tease me; I've almost lost half my life for your matter."

"How do I feel like you're about to advance? You've realized it too, haven't you? The final problem of Fifth Grade is already before you; once you solve it, advancement is only a matter of time. This is a tremendous benefit, personally witnessing two First Grade beings and fighting with a Third Grade one—this is what gave you such a great Opportunity. Even Heavenly Masters can't ask for such a good thing, but I asked for it for you," Zhu Fengdan said playfully to the Young Heavenly Master.

Li Qi, on the other hand, looked at the Young Heavenly Master with a sense of empathy.

He had been just as miserable before; in the distorted space-time, he failed for tens of thousands of years before finally succeeding.

At the same time, the Young Heavenly Master also looked at Li Qi, then he sat up abruptly, as if dying of illness, and said in disbelief, "Impossible! How many years has it been!? You figured it out!?"

"My disciple is a bit more capable than you; he can withstand distorted space-time," Zhu Fengdan said smugly.

"Ah? Aren't you afraid of death? Taking such a risk for advancement? Are you in a hurry?" The Young Heavenly Master was surprised.

Even if he were lying 'dead' on the bed, he wouldn't think of trying to advance in distorted space-time; it's very easy to go astray that way.

Just like Li Qi; Li Qi almost went astray. If Zhu Fengdan hadn't dissolved the distorted space-time based on his own experience and reminded him to pay attention to the real world, he might have been immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

"I am a bit in a hurry, but I have confidence," Li Qi smiled.

This didn't mean he was stronger than the Young Heavenly Master, but no matter what, he was already Fourth Grade.

The Young Heavenly Master shook his head: "Alright then, at least this way, the Great Shaman's promise to me should be no problem, right?"

"What promise?" Li Qi asked.

"Oh, it's his reward for helping you. I said it: let you do two things for him, and then help him solve his Dao Heart problem. Not difficult, right?" Zhu Fengdan said calmly.

Li Qi was speechless.

Forget it, if Master says it, just accept it; even if he sold himself, there was nothing he could do.

Besides... it wasn't like he hadn't done such things before.

"The two tasks can be reserved, but the Dao Heart problem can be excused; I'll handle it myself," the Young Heavenly Master waved his hand: "First task, go, pour me a cup of tea."

Li Qi's veins bulged.

"Hahahahaha!" Zhu Fengdan laughed heartily, throwing his head back.

These two youngsters were really interesting.

However, in the end, the Young Heavenly Master had also gone through life and death with Li Qi, fighting against a Third Grade who had dropped in rank; Li Qi thought about it, the other party was now paralyzed here, and the person who was originally taking care of him had also been sent away, so it was enough.

Thinking this, he still got up and brewed a pot of tea for Zhang Zong.

He used Zhang Zong's previous technique, alternating water and fire methods to process the tea leaves, stimulating their fragrance and vibrating out the Spiritual Qi and Dao Resonance contained within them.

This still required some skill.

Li Qi operated for a while, brewed a pot of tea, and then handed it to Zhang Zong.

The Young Heavenly Master sat up straight; despite being in a 'paralyzed' state, he still climbed up and regained his mobility.

Then, he took a sip of the tea Li Qi brewed.

Afterward, he expressionlessly poured out the entire pot of tea.

Li Qi's temples throbbed.

Zhu Fengdan was so amused that a folding fan suddenly appeared in his hand, which he snapped open to cover his smiling face.

After all, he was an elder now, so he couldn't laugh out loud or be too unrestrained.

"Second task," the Young Heavenly Master held up two fingers at this moment.

Li Qi sighed deeply: "Please be normal; I am Fourth Grade now. Using the Opportunity to command a Fourth Grade casually is not the act of a wise man."

"Second task, stay far away from me; before I reach Fourth Grade, get lost, I don't want to see you," the Young Heavenly Master said irritably.

They were both Fifth Grade just a while ago, and now, after so little time, the other party had desperately broken through using distorted space-time.

Annoying.

Once he reached Fourth Grade, he would definitely go back and get even.

Upon hearing this, Li Qi sighed again and looked at Zhu Fengdan.

Zhu Fengdan was also very direct: "Alright, since it's his reward, then listen carefully and go back to your war zone command post. Connect to the 'Alliance'; the war isn't over yet, but... your little wife should have completed her mission, so you can reunite. I'll take it from here."

"I only have one wife, not a little wife," Li Qi corrected, then bid farewell to the Young Heavenly Master and Zhu Fengdan, disappearing from the spot.
