Myriad Paths

Li Qi was still trekking, but now he was finally leaving the 'coast' and was about to arrive at Dongyu Island.

Although it is said to be along the coast, it is already twenty to thirty thousand miles away from the real 'shore'.

However, it is still considered a coast. After all, the world is still quite big. Although the sea here is hundreds of miles deep, it is still considered a 'shallow sea'.

The shallow sea is actually the most lively. A large number of small fish and shrimps, sufficient sunlight, and nutrients washed down by rivers on land make the shallow sea more dynamic.

As for going further, to the deep sea, there will not be such a rich ecology there now.

It's just... that kind of place is already out of touch with the 'mortal' ecology.

Although the shallow sea at this moment looks strange, it generally abides by the rules of the ecological circle. There are many mortal objects and ordinary fish and shrimps.

But... because it's in the world, it's actually not very ordinary. It shouldn't be a problem for the mortal fish here to unite and kill all the ninth-level fish.

But once you get to the deep sea, things start to change.

The only ones that exist there are spiritual beasts, mythical beasts, monsters and real dragons.

The dense water vapor in the deep sea, as well as things like the remains of the Dragon King, as well as the most terrifying storm in the deep sea, the strong wind layer from the entire world, have all shaped it into a zone where only the strong can survive.

Especially the Gangfeng layer.

Li Qi knew that at the end of the East China Sea, the far east of the world, there was a cliff. Water was constantly falling from the edge of the interface between the sea and the void, forming a very spectacular waterfall that spanned countless thousands of miles. The wind picks up the water and spreads it throughout the world, completing a water cycle. (See Chapter 337)

Therefore, it can be seen that the Gangfeng layer is attached to the disc continent of the world like a soap bubble. According to this structure, the closer to the center, the farther the Gangfeng is from the ground, and the closer to the edge, the closer the Gangfeng is to the ground. .

On the ground, there is steam from the earth to compete with it, so it is just an ordinary wind.

But in the East China Sea... the Gangfeng layer is close to the sea surface. Such storms will set off huge waves hundreds of miles high, and even seventh-grade people will be unable to extricate themselves from them.

The big storm coming from the Gangfeng layer, all kinds of giant sea monsters, spiritual beasts, and all kinds of demon dragons that absorbed the energy of the East Sea and practiced cultivation...

That is the truly cruel place in the East China Sea, and it is also Li Qi's destination.

Finally, after two and a half days of trekking, Li Qi finally arrived at Dongyu.

The path pointed by the mirage seemed to be right.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, he can always find a way, it just takes a few more days, it's a trivial matter.

The Dongyu that Li Qi came to this time was Dongyu 4632.

Dongyu, which Li Dao cooperates with Donghai, is essentially a large-scale institution with more than 6,000 in total, distributed along the entire East China Sea coast, making it convenient to receive guests who want to come to Donghai.

Li Qi has always been strange about Li Dao.

Li Dao is similar to martial arts. They are both second-rate Dao systems in the world. Although they do not occupy one of the nine places in the world, they have their own influence in various places.

For example, Li Dao has a deep connection with the Mohist School of Humanity, is also involved in Wu Dao, and is even more closely related to Spiritual Dao. I heard that Li Dao initially participated in the development of Taoist elixirs...

Today, Dongyu in the East China Sea was also built by Li Dao...

Perhaps, is there a possibility that there is such a core existence in Li Dao and Martial Arts that controls these second-rate Taoism to spread their own roots in all parts of the world?

In this way, although they cannot occupy the nine places in the world, they can still maintain their status and inheritance.

If you have the chance... look for similar clues, maybe you can get a deeper understanding of these second-rate traditions.

Thinking like this, 'Dongyu' finally appeared in front of Li Qi as he originally expected.

However, it is not the same as the imagined Dongyu.

The Dongyu Island in Li Qi's imagination should be a giant mechanism island, just like what is said in science fiction novels, a large island made of metal, like a city, floating on the sea in some way.

After all, the book he read recorded the existence of such a thing as Dongyu, but did not say what Dongyu looked like.

However, when Dongyu appeared in front of him, he was still stunned.

It was not an island, but a puppet.

A super, extremely, extremely huge and towering puppet!

The puppet is generally human-shaped, with hands and feet, and stands on two legs——

That's right, standing, Dongyu... stood on the seabed. In other words, this puppet must have a body of at least five hundred miles long. He stepped on the seabed, and then walked continuously on the seabed.

However, although it is human-shaped, it does not look like a human being, because his head is not a human face, but some kind of... mountain?

Li Qi didn't know how to describe it. This was not a face that a humanoid creature should have. No... this giant statue had no face at all.

It's just a disk installed around the neck, with a city standing on the disk.

In addition to this, there are two discs on each shoulder.

Then, two hands were raised, each holding two disks.

In this way, the five disks, plus countless "metal mountain"-like buildings inserted on them, are the whole picture of "Dongyu".

And this giant, carrying five disks, walked on the seabed step by step.

This giant has a huge size, which can be seen from its body that is hundreds of miles long. Therefore, the five discs are also extremely huge. You can clearly see many people living, walking, and flying on them.

There are constantly magic weapons and mounts coming and going in each disc, as if different discs are different urban areas, responsible for different social functions.

On the chest of the giant, there is an extremely large and moving deep-water port. The ships coming and going are all made of magic weapons and sail into this port.

There are also flying magic weapons, but it is obviously for outsiders to come to the East China Sea.

Even people like Li Qi who have read travel guides know that flying magic weapons are not practical in the East China Sea.

As the ocean voyage progresses, the gale layer will become lower and lower, closer and closer to the sea surface.

After all, the gale layer is a flat soap bubble structure. The closer to the outer edge of the world, the lower the gale layer, and the more easily the flying magic weapon is affected. In addition, the East China Sea does not have the ground vapor to resist, so it is a very stupid thing to use flying magic weapons in the East China Sea.

See it this way? So is the diving magic weapon better? After all, you don't have to worry about the gale layer in the water.

But in fact, it's not. Although you don't have to worry about the gale layer, you have to worry about the undercurrents and sea beasts in the water.

So, the boat is still the most practical.

Floating on the water, you don't have to face the sea beasts anytime and anywhere, you can use buoyancy to resist the gale, and when necessary, the boat can actually dive, and you don't even need to use the diving function.

Just sink it, it's hard for practitioners to drown anyway.

Witnessing the 'Dongyu 4632' in front of him, Li Qi suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that all Dongyu are this kind of giant puppets? Then how many can this thing beat to death in a fight?

It's a bit scary.

Li Qi's mind was full of random thoughts, but Lao Ma's footsteps did not stop. With the explosive growth of speed, he rushed to Dongyu.

Li Qi passed by many things, and it can be seen that the population density increased rapidly near Dongyu.

Here, all mortals have been screened out, and everyone is at least ninth grade.

Without the ninth rank, there is no qualification to step into the deep sea.

Li Qi could see some people flying in the air, some riding various means of transportation, of course, the most common were boats.

Some were running on the water, and some were riding different mounts, such as big fish, or various exotic beasts, white wolves, lions, and tigers.

There were even many horses, and there were many dragon foals like old horses.

Of course, the coolest one was the strong man that Li Qi passed by before. He actually rode a dragon, stepped on the dragon head, and whistled through the crowd, attracting more attention than Li Qi.

But Li Qi took a look and immediately turned his head away.

At least the cultivation of the fifth rank or above, what's the big deal about riding a dragon?

But, if you look at it this way...

Dongyu's strength seems to be very high, and my seventh rank is really a bit precarious. It's probably not that easy to gain a foothold here.

Fortunately, I didn't come here to gain a foothold, but just to travel and do something by the way.

Thinking about these things, Li Qi finally came to the range of Dongyu for 100 miles.

However, just after entering this distance, a loud noise was heard!

It was not the sound of explosion, but a very clear human voice, which was the human language familiar to Li Qi, and it was a lively female voice, but the volume was too loud.

But the voice sounded in Li Qi's ears with a huge decibel: "Newcomer! Please come to me to register your identity and go through the formalities!"

Hearing the words of going through the formalities, Li Qi was stunned.

Is this place humane?

Didn't they say that the way of natural evolution never cares about these things?

Thinking of this, he began to look for the source of the sound.

Looking around, no one responded, it seemed that only he heard this sound?

Fortunately, the direction of this sound was very clear. Following this direction, Li Qi saw... a giant whale.

That was really... huge.

The sea whale exposed its back, crossed the sea, and divided the seashore into two.

However... In the past few days in the East China Sea, Li Qi has become accustomed to this kind of giant beast. Although the giant whale in front of him is dozens of miles long, it is just like that.

However, is it the sound made by this giant whale?

Li Qi thought about it and took the initiative to gather all the information from the real knowledge rhyme and the information flow vision, and he really saw the clue.

The giant whale in front of him seemed to be able to emit a unique sound wave that only certain people could hear.

It was really interesting.

And there were many people around the giant whale, and various means of transportation were stacked up, as if they were all going to register.

In this case, let's go and ask.

Ask why, "registration", a thing with human characteristics, would appear on Dongyu.

Li Qi rode the old horse and walked towards the giant whale. The giant whale seemed to feel the direction from which Li Qi was coming, so it did not yell at Li Qi.

But she was still emitting sound waves, and from time to time other people covered their ears, their faces full of pain, obviously shocked by the sound of the giant whale.

Soon, Li Qi came to the edge of the giant whale, but saw the giant whale speak again, and made the previous female voice: "Please get on me, there are people responsible for registration on it."

"People?" Li Qi was stunned and couldn't help asking back.

What's wrong with people? It's a fuss, this is the East China Sea!

But the giant whale did not respond.

Li Qi had no way of asking the giant whale, so he had to prepare to get on her back.

The old horse jumped into the air and quickly came to the back of the giant whale.

Li Qi took a closer look and saw that there were really many people up here, but... not people in the ordinary sense.

They are indeed a human race, and a quite orthodox human race from all over the world, but their bodies have undergone a considerable degree of transformation. Half of their bodies have been inlaid with various parts. It can be seen that those are The magic weapon of miniaturization.

There are various races that handle business in front of these half-human, half-magic 'people'. It's quite fast. Basically, they just walk around in front of them and get it done.

From this angle, Li Qi could see that he collected the breath of the registrant and then stored the breath for registration, and then he could leave.

I have to say, he is quite humane...

However, humanity should not have such extreme physical transformation. After all, for them, such transformation is meaningless. They have no method that requires this kind of transformation. It is purely a burden.

That is to say...

Reason?

Is Li Dao managing Dongyu?

Never heard of it.

Thinking of this, Li Qi asked Lao Ma to stand aside while he went to line up.

The queue is quite long, about two or three miles, all on the giant whale, and there is a steady stream of new people joining the queue. If we don't queue up quickly, it will probably be delayed for another half hour.

There were many giant beasts and other strange races in the team, but at this moment they all used the art of transformation to reduce their bodies so as not to occupy too much space, and they all lined up honestly.

Li Qi was also a little excited while queuing up.

This is the first time I have met a true, pure person of reason. Maybe we can exchange a few words and understand the reason.

After all, what you see in books is never true, and what you see on paper is ultimately shallow.

The queue lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Although the queue for the first two or three miles was very long, everyone was very conscious and there was no cliché queue cutting or anything like that. The order was very orderly and the efficiency was very high. We arrived at Li Qi in two quarters of an hour.

Li Qi walked forward enthusiastically, knowing that his rhyme was fully activated and his vision of information flow was widened, ready to analyze the pile of magic weapons on the opponent's body.

However, when they first came into contact, Li Qi's expression instantly became serious.

A special barrier bounced away the power of Zhen Zhi Yun!

This was the first time that Li Qi encountered something that could bounce Zhen Zhi Yun away.

You know, in the past, it was either impossible to scan, for example, if you scanned Teacher Zhu Fengdan, you really knew that in Yun's eyes, he was directly transparent and did not exist.

Either it can be scanned, and then the information will be read slowly.

For the first time, I really knew that Yun was 'rejected' by something.

What is the magic weapon on the other side?
