444: Arrange a backup plan

The news that Li Qi had broken through to the Creation Realm spread rapidly among the high-ranking members of the Four Seas Sect, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished and conversations buzzed incessantly.

Creation Realm...

To them, these three words were unattainable, existing only in legends.

Since ancient times, only the legendary Immortal Martial True Lord had been able to reach this Realm.

Yet today, their former fellow disciple, Li Qi, had also stepped into this mysterious Domain.

In the Immortal Martial World, Creation Power was regarded as the supreme and mysterious power; it was rare and precious, and ordinary people struggled to glimpse its true form throughout their lives.

However, Xiang Zhizhou was an exception.

Many years ago, he had, by chance, come into contact with a wisp of Creation Power.

Although that power was so faint it was almost imperceptible, it left an indelible impression on his heart, one he never forgot.

At this moment, he gazed at the slowly rotating Qi vortex in Li Qi's palm, sensing that familiar and mysterious aura, and an unspeakable excitement surged within him.

He knew clearly... this was precisely the Creation Power he had touched many years ago!

That Li Qi could summon this power without any external aid, relying solely on his own Cultivation, was enough to prove... he had already entered the Realm of a Creation True Lord!

Achieving the Creation True Lord meant being able to merge with the Creation of heaven and earth, achieving the state of 'I am Creation, Creation is me'.

This was an ineffable, supreme Realm, the ultimate goal countless people dreamed of.

It wasn't just Li Qi; the aura emanating from the Phoenix Lord beside him was identical to Li Qi's, clearly indicating she was also a genuine Creation True Lord.

It wasn't just Xiang Zhizhou; the high-ranking members of the Four Seas Sect felt their worldview collapse. A Creation True Lord was an existence that almost only existed in myths, not seen for tens of millions of years.

Today, two Creation True Lords had actually come to the Four Seas Sect, giving them an unreal feeling, as if the whole world had gone mad.

After Li Qi returned to the Four Seas Sect, he only stayed for a short day before stating his purpose.

In a secluded grand hall, only Li Qi and Xiang Zhizhou were present.

Li Qi gave Xiang Zhizhou two Creation Realm Cultivation Techniques, as well as some creation crystal stones.

Xiang Zhizhou looked at Li Qi in surprise: "Li Qi, what is this?"

The things Li Qi gave him were too precious, and Xiang Zhizhou keenly sensed another layer of meaning within them.

"The Four Seas Sect has taken great care of me and nurtured me. It is only right that I repay the Sect."

The resources he gifted to the Four Seas Sect were enough to allow the Four Seas Sect to produce two Creation True Lords, and he also gave the starry sky ancient road map to the Four Seas Sect. In the future, the Creation True Lords of the Four Seas Sect would also be able to embark on the starry sky and travel to other worlds.

To Xiang Zhizhou, these actions... seemed more like making arrangements for after his departure.

"Li Qi, what exactly is going on?"

"Have you gotten into some trouble?"

Li Qi neither nodded nor shook his head; there was only silence.

When Demon General Xuan Ying first came knocking, Li Qi had specifically learned about Demon Generals. He had investigated information about Demon Generals at the Immortal Martial God Sect and also purchased intelligence about Demon Generals from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, gaining a considerable understanding of them.

There were a total of one hundred and eight Demon Generals, who lived and died with the Saint Demon. The strongest among them even possessed strength close to that of the Saint Demon, which was terrifying.

If it were just dealing with one Mystic Shadow, it would be fine, but if all one hundred and eight Demon Generals attacked... Li Qi would still find it somewhat difficult.

He had many trump cards and might not die; even if he died, he could come back to life.

But if the Demon Generals didn't attack him and chose to attack the Four Seas Sect instead... what then?

Apart from the Divine Sword Dao Soldier, the Four Seas Sect currently had no Samsara Realm combat power, let alone the Creation Realm.

If the Demon Generals discovered that Li Qi was difficult to deal with and instead turned to attack the people of the Four Seas Sect, Li Qi would be in a more passive position.

Even if Li Qi was willing to rush over from far away to rescue them, if the people of the Four Seas Sect were too weak to even hold out until he arrived... that would be a joke.

Therefore, the Four Seas Sect at least needed several Creation Realm powerhouses to hold the fort.

The words Mystic Shadow spoke last time still lingered in Li Qi's mind... 'You are very special, Lord Saint Demon values you greatly!'

Li Qi had been unable to let go of this sentence for a long time!

And that Mystic Shadow had even insisted on breaking Li Qi's limbs to take him back, which showed how important Li Qi was.

The Saint Demon was very strong; even Xiao Ruochen, a Dao Source Realm powerhouse, showed apprehension when mentioning him. Li Qi had once suspected whether that Saint Demon had truly perceived the existence of the System.

In terms of apparent strength, Li Qi and the Saint Demon were too far apart; he simply couldn't enter the Saint Demon's eyes. Logically, the Saint Demon shouldn't have attached so much importance to him.

There must be a reason for this.

Since various ominous signs had already appeared, Li Qi naturally had to prepare in advance to avoid being taken advantage of at his weak points.

Li Qi gave Xiang Zhizhou a relaxed look: "I have indeed encountered some trouble, but don't worry about me..."

"Actually... I'm more worried about you all."
