My Endless Life.

Chapter 422 Power Outage
Li Qi has also practiced many power systems.

The magic power of the magic world, the "qi" of the foggy world, and the internal force of the martial arts world.

These extraordinary powers may have some subtle differences, but most of them are the same, which is essentially the absorption and use of energy.

It’s just that because of the different rules of the world, the ways of absorption and application are also different.

The initial part of the cultivation method of the immortal civilization was similar to what Li Qi expected.

Feel the energy, absorb the energy, establish circulation in the body and then begin to gradually increase the energy level.

But Li Qi couldn't understand some of the things that followed.

Because the later exercises begin to emphasize "communication" with energy.

It is mentioned in the Qi Induction Technique that if one wants to cultivate to a higher level, one needs to communicate closely with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Whether using spells or magic weapons, "communication" occupies a very important proportion.

It seems that if you cannot establish effective communication with the spiritual energy, you will not be able to continue to improve.

After understanding the contents of the Qi Inducing Technique, Li Qi looked at other exercises and his doubts grew even more.

The same is true for other techniques. They emphasize the process of communicating with spiritual energy, as if they confirm that spiritual energy has "wisdom" and must obtain the recognition of spiritual energy before using magic to strengthen oneself.

This seemed a little ridiculous to Li Qi.

Aura... can also have wisdom?

If it is true as stated in the above exercises, doesn't it mean that magic power, qi, and other energies also have wisdom?

But as the strongest person in every life, Li Qi can guarantee with his talent that these energies are just a pile of particles and do not contain life or wisdom.

At least that's the case with the energies that Li Qi has practiced.

"But let's assume for the moment that the energy of the Xiuxian civilization is intelligent. Then, is the Xiuxian civilization cultivating immortals... or is it just establishing a contractual relationship with a certain 'race'?"

Li Qi explored this issue.

If the communication mentioned in the cultivation method is indeed effective, "reiki" is actually a "race" with simple wisdom.

So the so-called cultivation of immortals in the immortal cultivation civilization is actually not cultivation of immortals at all. It is just to establish a contract with a special "race" with strange means, and use the power of that race to achieve the means of cultivation of immortals.

This approach reminded Li Qi of a species in the fantasy world.

Elf.

They are not the kind of forest elves who hold bows and arrows, have pointy ears, and are all extremely handsome.

Instead, it is an elf that exists in a fantasy world, is extremely small, possesses special abilities, and can sign contracts with humans.

Or would 'fairy' be more appropriate?
Anyway, no matter whether it is a fairy or an elf, Li Qi feels that the energy of the world of immortal cultivation is very similar to these species.

Considering that the previous civilization of Xiuxian civilization was probably a magic civilization, Li Qi couldn't help but have a guess: Could it be that the energy of Xiuxian civilization is actually the remnant of the magic civilization?
After staring at the computer and thinking for a long time, Li Qi still had no clue. He simply stopped thinking about it and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's try this Qi Induction Technique first."

Let’s put the mystery of energy aside for now. The cultivation method that Li Qi has been dreaming of is right in front of him. He has no reason not to practice it.

In short, first carry out preliminary practice according to the instructions in the Qi Induction Technique to see if you can extract spiritual energy before doing anything else.

This is what Li Qi thought, and he also asked the main body to do so.

However, after a day and a night, Li Qi could not feel the existence of any so-called spiritual energy.

It seems that just as Zhu Xingyuan said, the rules of heaven have changed, the spiritual energy has disappeared, and there is no longer any soil for cultivating immortals in the world.

Li Qi was not discouraged.

Since spiritual energy doesn't work, he can use immortal cultivation techniques to cultivate other "qi".

Using the "Magic Notes" to create magic power, Li Qi let the main body use the magic power to practice the Qi Attracting Technique according to the method of the Qi Attracting Technique.

Anyway, the Qi Attracting Technique needs to attract some special energy, and magic power can also be considered a special energy, so it is just right to use magic power for cultivation.

If that doesn't work, Li Qi still has the strength he has trained himself.

However, before the strong force becomes internal force, the refinement of the force is far inferior to magic power. Li Qi will not use the strong force for cultivation unless it is absolutely necessary.

As for whether this will cause any problems...

The Qi Inducing Technique is just a basic martial art. Even if one really goes astray, it will only cause the meridians to break.

This is just a minor injury for the original body who has already cultivated the Immortal Heart Sutra to the highest level.

Li Qi was not afraid at all.

Besides, for Li Qi now, the body is just like clothes. If it is damaged, he can just change it.

The main body automatically runs the exercises according to Li Qi's settings.

Li Qi's own consciousness is inside the puppet's body, handling external affairs.

……

The attack by the United States Federation was crazy and deadly, and because they used strange objects to transfer nuclear bombs and viruses to important cities in various countries, this made the defense systems of various countries completely ineffective, and they failed to intercept the nuclear bombs in the first place.

The ultimate result is that the world's population will decrease again.

According to incomplete statistics, the world's total population today is probably less than one billion.

And it is still continuing to decline.

Most of the dead died from pollution, but a small number died from the crazy crackdown by the US federal government.

Thanks to the Twelve Golden Immortals Diagram, China preserved its territory and curbed the spread of the virus.

Other countries were not so lucky. The capital of the Soviet Union was completely razed to the ground. If their leaders had not already hidden in a deep underground bunker when the apocalypse began, their command system would probably be completely paralyzed.

The same thing happened in the European Union. Except for Great Britain, which had a rare object similar to the Twelve Golden Immortals that was barely preserved, the command systems of the remaining countries were all out of touch.

Including France, which is also one of the five major powers in the world!

The impact of this incident was extremely bad. Therefore, after various countries took some time to deal with this matter, they began to investigate and counterattack the United States Federation.

They must first confirm what happened in the United States Federation and why they did such a thing, and then consider whether to go to war with the United States Federation or demand compensation.

If one wants to confirm the situation of the United States Federation, the first thing to do is to find a way to contact the top leaders of the United States Federation.

But since that day, the top leaders of the United States Federation have completely lost contact.

According to information from spies still in the United States, nuclear bombs were also dropped on several important locations in the United States that day.

The reason is unknown.

The outside world is in turmoil and the world atmosphere is extremely tense.

The atmosphere in Li Qi's team was very relaxed.

They are now helping the people of Chunhui City move to the underground city, and the international situation has no impact on them at all.

"Meng An!! Come and fight!!"

Even at this time, a certain stupid cow was still looking for trouble with Li Qi.

"Go and have fun by yourself."

Facing Qi Zhijian's "challenge", Li Qi did not react at all. He just glanced at him indifferently. Qi Zhijian's eyes became dull, and then he turned to the frozen tree and punched and kicked it:

"Hahaha!! Meng An!! Come and fight!!!"

dong dong dong-

Qi Zhijian ruthlessly destroyed the big tree that was frozen into ice, hitting it with his fists and laughing loudly.

This made the evacuated residents around look at him with extremely strange eyes.

The team members behind Qi Zhijian, seeing the embarrassed look of their captain, all held their foreheads with their hands in shame and stopped looking at him, as if they didn't know him.

Meng Xiaolin, the captain of the medical team, was beside Li Qi. She looked at Qi Zhijian, who was targeting the tree, with pity, and whispered to Li Qi:
"Brother Meng An, he is the captain of Team 3 after all, please give him some respect."

“…It’s okay, idiots don’t need face.”

Li Qi moved a little further away from Meng Xiaolin and responded calmly.

Having said that, Li Qi did not let Qi Zhijian embarrass himself too much. He let him hit the big tree next to him and made him fall asleep.

After all, Li Qi had already understood that Qi Zhijian's brain was indeed not working well due to the price he paid, and apart from fighting with those holders of the rare objects, he didn't do anything too excessive.

Li Qi wouldn't keep humiliating him.

The big fool Qi Zhijian was pulled back by the team members. The noise stopped temporarily, and Li Qi continued to watch the team evacuating underground.

Before the end of the world, Chunhui City also reopened the bunker it had built and expanded and renovated it.

It's just that it has been under construction and has not yet been officially put into use.

But after this crisis, China had to activate these underground bunkers to avoid possible nuclear bombs.

And I don’t know whether it should be said to be unfortunate or fortunate. A lot of people died in the riots in Chunhui City. The city’s population of more than two million was directly reduced by one third.

Therefore, the underground fortress can accommodate the residents of the entire city.

At least you don’t have to worry about having no place to live underground.

Most people have no complaints about moving from above ground to underground.

The reason is also very simple.

One is that we are now in a state of war control, so it is useless for ordinary people to complain.

The second is that the ground is getting colder and colder, heating plants everywhere are working at overload, coal reserves are gradually decreasing, and due to inconvenient transportation, the coal is almost used up as it is used.

So if you don't want to freeze to death, you can only move underground. At least the temperature deep underground is slightly higher than on the ground, and the consumption of coal will be less.

However, if they could survive by moving underground, the immortal cultivation civilization would not have ended up with only Liu Yiye being the only wise person left.

Li Qi always felt that the virus and nuclear bombs some time ago were just the beginning, and the world was accelerating towards doomsday.

Maybe Li Qi's premonition came true, or maybe he really was a jinx.

Just as I thought this, the lights around me suddenly dimmed.

The street lights went out one after another, and even the searchlights used by the military for lighting became useless.

At this moment, the whole world became completely dark, with only a little light from the black sky illuminating the earth.

The sudden going out of the lights caused some panic among the crowd.

The soldiers responsible for maintaining order were trying their best to appease the people, while Li Qi took out the radio and tried to contact Zhao Hong to ask what had happened.

But when he took out the radio, Li Qi's heart sank.

radio……

It seems that there is no electricity either.
