In the boundless void, the stars in the sky are shining brightly, and the fluorescence around them is like the sound of drums and hammers, but there is no sound, or in other words... no mechanical waves.
The extremely magnificent body of the constellation condensed and turned into a giant eye, looking at Li Qi from a very far distance, like an angry leopard, with shadows falling in the sky, and waves of sun flames, seeming to contain the Dharma Realm, so majestic and majestic!
If the Taoist saying is that there is a cave in the pot, and the Buddhist world of mustard seeds is a small one, it is a big one, what is important is the magnanimity of "cooking the mountains and rivers in a pan, and hiding the wonders of the world in a ladle"...
Shinto is completely different and does not engage in those imaginary things.
Big is big, there is no such thing as being big in small.
An ordinary star official should have a fifth-grade cultivation?
His body is half a light-year long, and he is a world group in his own right! It's not refining, his body is the world group.
No wonder it’s called ‘Shinto’, no wonder it’s called ‘Innate Spirit’.
...Li Qi felt that the combat power of Shinto might be ridiculously strong, and it would be difficult for practitioners of the same level to fight against these gods in terms of frontal strength, right?
Really, in terms of the depth of his power, the other party's strength is probably that of Shen Shuibi... Well, if you do the math, it should be one to two hundred million times, right?
No joke, there is such a big gap in the level of mana. The mana of this star official can even reach more than 100 million times the depth of the mana pool of ordinary practitioners of the same level.
However... combat power does not all depend on mana, and his body is too big, which can be considered a disadvantage.
After all, it is difficult to mobilize such a big body. The wear and tear on the road alone is not known. If the body of Shinto is the human body, then in a fight, other practitioners are like bacteria or viruses. .
Although the human body is large and strong, it may not be able to defeat viruses.
It's just... Shinto should have a way to make up for it, right?
Looking at the other party's majestic body, Li Qi seemed to understand why he couldn't see many orthodox Shinto monks.
The Shinto monks he had seen before were all "using mortal bodies to become gods." They were originally mortals, but by condensing faith or occupying terrain, they tried to use them to become gods.
For example, the most common gods of mountains and rivers, some of them are humans, some are demons, and they are not born gods anyway. They expelled or suppressed the gods that have not yet awakened, and then sat on the throne themselves, usurping the position of the true gods of a certain landscape.
But becoming a god through faith is even more illusory. By transferring things like "collective consciousness" to one's own body, one can then condense the golden body and achieve the divine way.
This way is really...how should I put it...
Use tricks.
You can never even scratch the surface of Shinto orthodoxy.
The reason why gods are gods is because...they are born that way.
There is no need for faith, it is mortals who actively ask to believe in them in order to obtain gifts, rather than they need the faith of mortals.
There is no need to occupy the terrain because they are the terrain itself.
Now looking back and thinking about it, what is the so-called 'way of heaven'?
When he was refining the Heavenly Dao of the Spiritual Silk World, Li Qi had already analyzed it. Heavenly Dao is actually the sum of collective consciousness and natural power.
Isn’t faith the embodiment of collective consciousness?
Terrain, to put it bluntly, is the power of the world itself.
All the Shinto monks Li Qi had seen before were just parodies of these two methods.
For the real Shinto, those 'orthodox gods', there is no such need at all. They do not need to imitate, they are the objects of imitation by other mortals.
God is the enlightened way of heaven in the world, and all gods are the way of heaven itself that has awakened its spiritual wisdom!
And high-level gods are the way of heaven in more than one world. For example, the star official in front of you is the collective will of a small world group! The lives living in his body do not need to communicate with the outside world, they do not even need their own will, so these worlds are closed.
You only need to be pious and worship, because 'God' is an objective existence and is the supreme being that transcends all great powers in this world.
After seeing the real god, Li Qi took a deep breath.
No wonder they all talk about "innate gods". Sure enough, only those who exist innately can be regarded as gods. All things can become gods through practice... It's really ridiculous. How can ordinary things become gods?
Just trying to imitate others.
Then...are the world groups around the fire all true gods?
There are two channels of the Shinto, one is the Ziwei Tianting line, and the other is the Ancient Star Official line...
At this moment, where Li Qi is, the god he is facing must be Xingguan. So, does the Xingguan lineage mean that they are all genuine stars and the enlightenment of heaven in the world?
What does a god from the Tianting lineage look like?
Li Qi became curious, but he did not stop working. He continued the ceremony of inviting gods and said to the star official: "I have seen the star official. Do you dare to ask his name?"
"My name is clear, why do you call me?" the star king responded.
Standing in his position, Li Qi could only see a huge eye, which was made up of several worlds and nebulae. The shadow in it was faintly visible, just like... the famous photograph he had seen before. Eye of God".
As for more places, it is really impossible to see, and it has exceeded the limit of Li Qi's vision.
Li Qi saluted first, and then said: "Xinzhao Xingjun, I come from Wushen Mountain to wish you the same lineage. Li Qi came to visit Huohuo, but he didn't know the etiquette and the way. I specially asked the god to explain it to Wangxingjun for guidance. "
"It turns out that he is from Wushen Mountain. There is no need to say anything about it. By the way, I have another question for Zhuren. Do you... know why there is a divine word in Wushen Mountain?" Mr. Xin Zhaoxing was very attitude. Okay, but suddenly asked an inexplicable question.
This question stunned Li Qi for a moment, and he had not yet reacted.
But Li Qi came to his senses in the next second. This was a test, and he wanted to see if he was really the orthodox of Wushen Mountain.
So, Li Qi replied: "Just like the god in the body, the witch Tao takes itself as the world, and it is similar to some methods of the Shinto. The word 'god' and the title of the witch god are all coincident with the manifestation of the Tao." The meaning of the world.”
Although this answer may not be correct, it obviously touches on some deeper information, which is enough to prove Li Qi's identity.
Lord Xin Zhaoxing nodded slightly when he heard the words, but saw an abnormal gravitational fluctuation in the space around Li Qi.
The moment the gravitational fluctuation appeared, a golden body of a god slowly emerged here. It should be the incarnation of Xin Zhaoxing Lord.
Seeing this incarnation, Li Qi suddenly understood the meaning of the 'golden body' method and how Shinto could make up for such a huge disadvantage of the original body.
Just rely on the golden body.
Li Qi also knows how to create a golden body, but the golden body Li Qi creates is very weak. If he divides it into too many parts, his own body will become weak and the golden body will not be very strong.
But... the Shinto golden body, with the powerful magic power of these real gods, making millions of golden bodies is like eating!
No wonder Shinto can respond to prayers. As long as someone sets up an altar, they can descend at will in the heavens. They have even reached agreements with other Taoist traditions. For example, Taoist sects also have divine methods, and they can invite the true god to the lower realm of Dharmakaya with just one sentence.
That's not because the magic of inviting gods is powerful, but because the magic power of the true gods is so powerful that there are so many dharma bodies that they can appear in millions of places at the same time!
Their bodies may not be good at fighting. After all, although the way of heaven is strong, it is easily influenced by others. This endless golden body is the fighting method of the orthodox god!
This is really, really awesome.
Li Qi watched the golden body take shape and sighed.
The golden body gradually took shape, turning into a majestic and mighty man, and then he handed over to Li Qi: "Zhu Ren wants to visit Huo Huo but doesn't know the way, so please come with me, and I will lead the way for Zhu Ren."
"Thank you Xingjun." Li Qi also quickly thanked him.
"Follow me." Mr. Xin Zhaoxing didn't show much respect, but he wasn't scornful either. After saying these words, he silently led the way.
Li Qi quickly followed him without saying a word, remaining solemn and flying all the way.
Who knew that this flight would take three and a half years.
In the void, the silent body of the god flew forward, and Li Qi followed behind, not stopping for a moment.
He could have flown faster, but near here, Li Qi discovered that although it was still the outer void, the Dao was more than 10% stronger, and the limit of the Heavenly Dao expanded to 1.5 times at most.
Beyond this number, even Li Qi cannot continue to improve. You must know that in a place like the Spiritual Silk World, Li Qi can easily distort to thousands of times.
A kind of solid and majestic pressure pressed on the space near the fire. This kind of pressure can even be said to be comparable to the pressure of the great avenues in the world.
It may not be from the fire, it may be from the pressure from all the 'star officials', which forcibly consolidated the nearby avenues, so that Li Qi could not twist them at all.
In the past three years, Li Qi passed by about dozens of similar star officials. They did not appear in person, but they all greeted Li Qi and Xinzhao Xingguan.
Li Qi discovered that Shinto does not have social systems and forms in the conventional sense.
Because it's not necessary.
There are too few real 'gods'.
There are only a few hundred star officials in the fire, an extraterrestrial wonder. They all know each other, and most of them have nothing to say.
】
The lifespan of the world is too long, and for the 'gods' who appear as the world's heaven awakens spiritual wisdom, time is even more meaningless.
These star officials are all at the seventh level, which belongs to the infant stage. Immortality is a natural thing for them, and no one in heaven will die of old age.
However, Li Qi was a little confused.
What is the relationship between these 'god stars' and the 'demon stars' formed by the demon clan's attunement to the stars outside the territory?
There seems to be a lot of similarities between the two, and there must be a reason.
However, in addition to the interpersonal relationships of these star officials, Li Qi also discovered some not so good points.
Sometimes, you always need to rest when traveling for a long time. After all, Li Qi is not a perpetual motion machine, nor does he have hundreds of millions of times the mana reserve like the star officer in front of him.
If it were an ordinary void, Li Qi could easily achieve permanent motion, but the void here was suppressed by the fire, and even the limit of heaven was suppressed to 1.5 times, so it would take hundreds or thousands of times more power to achieve it. Achieve this speed.
So sometimes, the star official would let go of the world barrier and let Li Qi go in to have a rest and regain his breath.
After entering, Li Qi also saw the world and civilization inside Xingguan's body.
The worlds that make up Star Officer's body... there is indeed life in them.
But the lives inside seem to have their desires stifled. No, it cannot be said to be strangled, but... These lives are born in a world with real 'gods'. They only need to worship the gods to receive blessings, so naturally You will lose your desire to explore the outside world.
A devout believer in Shinto? Can you understand it this way?
That’s pretty much it, anyway.
Do you have to say they are unhappy? Li Qi didn't think so.
Compared to worlds like the Spiritual Silk World and the Holy Flame World, this Shinto world must be very happy. They are absolutely rich in material terms and very rich in spirit.
There is no group of people happier than them, right? They are stable and happy, with neither too heavy worries nor possible crises.
The gods shroud the world, gently blocking out all dangers and sufferings. The creatures in every world are as carefree as if they were soaked in a jar of honey.
Spiritually, they have faith to support them, and materially, they have gods to satisfy them.
They don't even need to practice, because the gods can directly 'bless' them and forcibly upgrade their ranks, just like what Heaven does to the Son of Destiny.
No, in fact, this is the Son of Destiny, because practitioners of the Xingguan lineage are themselves the way of heaven in the world after awakening their consciousness.
Everything is so... dreamy.
Compared with the indigenous world, the life in the Shinto world is typical of the rich second generation, and they are also the kind of playboys who don't have to work hard and can just sit back and enjoy the efforts of the gods.
Everyone thinks that the second generation of rich people are bad, they are prodigal, they get something for nothing, so how many people don’t want to be the second generation of rich people?
If you advise them to fight on their own, they might even call you crazy and disturb their normal lives.
How should I put it? Everyone has his own blessings. Li Qi couldn't say anything. For them, this kind of life is not bad.
If you leave the embrace of the gods and go outside to make a living on your own, will you really live a good life?
After several years of traveling without incident, Li Qi was getting closer and closer to the fire.
Another unremarkable day passed, but Li Qi was on tenterhooks.
Because the fire is already close to Chi Chi, only tens of thousands of miles away.
Tens of thousands of miles sounds very far, but in the outer void, it is basically equivalent to face to face.
But here, the oppression of the surrounding avenues is even stronger than in the world.
Of course, it is not that he is actually stronger than the world, but that the oppression of the world is more moisturizing and silent. Although it is strong, it cannot be felt.
But here, the oppressive feeling of the fire has caused Xinzhaoxing Lord's dharma body to begin to collapse.
However, Li Qi was fine.
Without him, I'm used to it.
