502: Solution

Li Qi had naturally heard about what happened to the Qiu family.

That Holy Lord was spreading news everywhere: as long as Qiu Chuwen did not appear, he would kill one member of the Qiu family every day!

He would continue killing until Qiu Chuwen showed himself!

Such bloody and ruthless actions left many people terrified upon hearing the news.

These people avoided the Qiu family like the plague, fearing any association with them.

In the Origin Realm, a Saint King is the most powerful existence; even if they act recklessly, no one can restrain them.

To deal with a Saint King powerhouse... only another Saint King would suffice.

This resulted in such a malformed and crazed world.

Saint Kings stand high above; even if they wantonly slaughter those below them, there are no consequences.

Unless the ones they kill are subordinates of another Saint King.

Even among Saint Kings, there is constant infighting... a single lapse in caution could lead to being ruthlessly killed by another.

This is a bloody and chaotic world.

The higher one goes... the truer this becomes!

After seeing the fate of the Qiu family, Li Qi's impression of these Saint Kings plummeted to freezing point, even though he had never met them in person.

Knowing that these people were searching for him, he hid himself even more thoroughly.

Because Qiu Chuwen had exposed information about him, saying he had been selling a large amount of Great Dao Text recently, it was no longer convenient for him to carry on with this business.

Many subordinates of the Saint Kings were keeping a close watch; as soon as someone sold Great Dao Text and appeared to be a suspected Child of the Great Path... they would be seized without exception.

Better to arrest the innocent by mistake than to let a suspect escape!

For a time, everyone was on edge; no one dared to sell Great Dao Text anymore, and no one would buy it either.

At this moment, Great Dao Text seemed to have become a forbidden zone... anyone who touched it died.

Many people were full of complaints; they truly had a rigid demand for Great Dao Text, but now that no one was trading it, they were left helpless...

...

While these people were complaining bitterly, Li Qi was also having a hard time.

Selling Great Dao Text was his means of earning resources and part of how he snowballed his strength... now, he could no longer make it work.

"Damn it!"

"To think it would turn out like this!"

"This broken world... will it ever get any better?!"

That Qiu Chuwen knew very little about Li Qi; he only knew that Li Qi had been selling Great Dao Text in bulk recently, so he claimed that the person selling it might be the Child of the Great Path.

Unexpectedly, this hit Li Qi's weakness perfectly, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Qiu Chuwen, your whole Family deserves to be wiped out!"

After being cornered, Li Qi was at a loss; he had currently comprehended over a thousand of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and if he wanted to continue comprehending the rest... he would still need a massive amount of creation crystal stones.

"What should I do now?"

Disguised as a bearded man, Li Qi walked along the streets of an ancient city named Tianyou City, pondering his next move.

"If I can't sell Great Dao Text... how am I supposed to earn creation crystal stones now?"

Li Qi pondered this question in his heart, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

Great Dao Text was a rigid demand for people in the Origin Realm; as long as you sold it, there was no worry about finding buyers.

"Besides Great Dao Text... is there anything else that people here have a rigid demand for?"

"And something that I just happen to be able to provide?"

Li Qi thought for a while and realized he didn't have such a thing... at least not for the moment.

"Then what should I do first?"

"Should I take a bit of a risk and continue selling Great Dao Text, but in smaller quantities at a time?"

"Go for a quick-in, quick-out approach?"

"As long as I'm fast enough... those Saint Kings won't be able to catch me?"

As soon as this idea appeared, Li Qi immediately dismissed it.

In the current situation, there were eyes and ears planted by various Saint Kings everywhere; if he did that, he would definitely be noticed by them.

At this time, there were even people intentionally fishing—while no one was trading Great Dao Text, they would offer to buy it in bulk, acting very anxious... all to lure Li Qi out.

Once he took the bait, it wouldn't be so easy to escape.

In this world, the various Saint Kings had operated for many years, and Li Qi didn't want to experience their methods in the slightest.

"If I can't continue selling Great Dao Text... what should I do now?"

"Breakthrough to the Saint King? Become a Saint King?"

"But I don't have a Sacred Throne in my hands right now..."

With Li Qi's current strength, a Breakthrough to the Saint King was already sufficient.

As long as he had a Sacred Throne in hand, he could attempt a Breakthrough to the Saint King at any time and become one of those standing at the pinnacle of this world.

But the problem was that he didn't have a Sacred Throne.

Almost all existing Sacred Thrones were already claimed by the various Saint Kings. If he killed these Saint Kings, their Sacred Thrones would become his own, but unfortunately, Li Qi couldn't achieve that yet.

Suddenly, Li Qi thought of Qiu Chuwen.

As a Sub-Saint, Qiu Chuwen was previously just an ordinary Dao Ancestor with no background. So where did his Sacred Throne come from?

"If Qiu Chuwen could get a new Sacred Throne... then could I also find a way to get one?"

Li Qi felt he had vaguely grasped a key point and immediately sprang into action.

Finding a quiet, uninhabited place, Li Qi immediately performed a technique of numerology and began his calculations...
