Chapter 194: Reforging the Questioning Heart Ladder
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others were also looking at Li Tianwei. Although they did not know why Li Tianwei mentioned the Questioning Heart Ladder, even if they knew, what could they possibly do to Li Tianwei?
If nothing unexpected happened, all the disciples, elders, and ancestors in the grand hall nodded one after another.
At the same time, they were also curious as to what level Li Tianwei’s current strength had reached. The Questioning Heart Ladder was a legacy left behind for the Sacred Land of Lingxu by an ancestor who had Ascended after surviving the immortal tribulation.
Even Tribulation Transcendence Realm ancestors found it difficult to shake it in the slightest, yet when Li Tianwei was at the Golden Core Realm, he was already able to battle more than a dozen Union Realm ancestors head-on. Now that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he would only be stronger.
Li Tianwei swept his gaze across everyone as the aura of the Nascent Soul Realm burst forth.
Although the aura Li Tianwei revealed was still that of the Nascent Soul Realm, the moment those one thousand five hundred kinds of Dao Intent emerged, an overbearing, boundless, and vast aura instantly enveloped the grand hall.
At this moment, everyone felt only one thing—as if they were witnessing the very extremity of the heavens.
This inexplicable sensation caused fear to arise in their hearts.
Immediately after, a terrifying surge of spiritual power appeared behind Li Tianwei, as the Void Emptiness Manifestation revealed itself, countless stars lighting up at this very instant.
Li Tianwei was seen rising straight up from the grand hall, standing tall in the skies above the Main Peak.
The elders and disciples within the grand hall followed closely behind.
Very quickly, upon reaching outside the grand hall, Li Tianwei’s gaze fell upon the Questioning Heart Ladder that stood outside the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“Rise.”
Only a soft murmur from Li Tianwei was heard, as the star river revolved, and the stars formed from one thousand five hundred Dao Intents continuously flickered.
A majestic and awe-inspiring great power rose from Li Tianwei’s body, and in an instant, heaven and earth lost all color.
Everyone within the Sacred Land of Lingxu could not help but be drawn toward that figure standing in midair.
“That’s First Seat Li. What is he preparing to do?”
The disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu raised their heads and looked at Li Tianwei as they spoke.
As for Li Tianwei, he continued to drive his power forward, rings upon rings of heavy energy swirling around his Manifestation.
Under Li Tianwei’s control, the Questioning Heart Ladder caused the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu to tremble.
“That’s the Questioning Heart Ladder—it’s moving.”
The disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu watched as the Questioning Heart Ladder, which stood outside the Sacred Land of Lingxu and reached straight into the heavens, slowly rose.
Rumble…
The ground visibly collapsed, countless stones bursting from the earth and floating in the sky.
Immediately afterward, Li Tianwei lifted his hand, and the Questioning Heart Ladder—together with the underground spiritual veins—was lifted by him.
Under Li Tianwei’s control, the uprooted Questioning Heart Ladder slowly moved before him.
That massive Questioning Heart Ladder was far larger than any single peak within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, and it was even connected to the underground spiritual veins. Yet even so, Li Tianwei was still able to summon it with ease.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the other ancestors knew well the terrifying nature of the Questioning Heart Ladder. This was the legacy of an immortal, containing countless formations—yet it still could not escape Li Tianwei’s grasp.
Li Tianwei looked at the Questioning Heart Ladder before him. He was a man of action—if he said he would dismantle it, then he would dismantle it.
After examining it from top to bottom, Li Tianwei could sense that the thick foundational energy within it far surpassed the power of those Union Realm ancestors from before. It was a residual power he had never encountered before. However, due to the passage of time, it had long since lost its former might.
“So the Questioning Heart Ladder really was broken.”
At this point, Li Tianwei was certain that this was the power left behind by that Ascended ancestor.
However, Li Tianwei did not truly intend to dismantle the Questioning Heart Ladder. Instead, he planned to completely reform it.
Recalling when he had previously stepped onto the Questioning Heart Ladder, a perfectly good Heavenly Spiritual Root had been misjudged as a False Spiritual Root. It was obvious that problems had existed for a long time.
Moreover, aptitude was something that depended on perspective—wisdom saw wisdom, benevolence saw benevolence. How could everything about a person be judged by a single artifact and assigned ranks?
In Li Tianwei’s view, such evaluations were unnecessary. Those with good aptitude should do what they excelled at, and those with poorer aptitude also had places where they were needed.
Li Tianwei decided to reform the Questioning Heart Ladder, integrating all of his own wisdom into it.
By merging the knowledge of his two worlds into it, anyone who stepped onto the Questioning Heart Ladder would be thoroughly discerned. Every individual would be able to recognize themselves within it and find their own path. People were different, and everyone would always have something they were good at.
“It’s impossible for everyone to be trash, right!”
Li Tianwei could not help but sigh, though even trash had its uses.
“Numbers, logic, physicalization, psychology…”
At the same time, Li Tianwei also set up many questions within it. As long as one had talent, they would be able to find something suitable for themselves inside.
In Li Tianwei’s view, if he himself could learn these things, then the people of the entire cultivation world should not be much different.
“One year to Nascent Soul, that’s all. Simple enough.”
Li Tianwei sighed once more as his hands continuously moved.
Countless seals shot out from Li Tianwei’s hands, flying straight into the Questioning Heart Ladder.
Layers of formation patterns emerged within the Questioning Heart Ladder, and visible to the naked eye, faint yet dazzling multicolored light appeared upon it.
As Li Tianwei’s spells and divine abilities continuously descended into the Questioning Heart Ladder, the originally heavy-looking ladder gained a trace of spirituality.
There were even numerous Dao Intents condensed within it—this was Li Tianwei integrating his current comprehension of Dao Intents.
One thousand five hundred kinds—Li Tianwei held nothing back.
Li Tianwei granted every person who stepped onto the Questioning Heart Ladder the opportunity to comprehend Dao Intents. They could experience each Dao Intent, and how much they could comprehend depended entirely on their own talent.
With Li Tianwei’s spiritual power and Dao Intents added in, the Questioning Heart Ladder underwent a complete transformation.
It was no longer the former Questioning Heart Ladder that assessed cultivator aptitude, temperament, and consciousness.
After finishing all this, Li Tianwei nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand toward the outside of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Under Li Tianwei’s control, the Questioning Heart Ladder returned to the earth as if time itself were flowing backward, standing once more in its original place.
The stones floating in the sky and the spiritual veins all returned to their original positions, with not a single crack visible.
Supreme radiance emanated from the Questioning Heart Ladder. Everyone could sense that it had undergone a complete and thorough transformation, and an inexplicable feeling arose in their hearts—as if they themselves possessed a destined fortune within the Questioning Heart Ladder.
“The Questioning Heart Ladder has now been reestablished. It no longer takes aptitude as its foundation. Any disciple of the Sacred Land of Lingxu may step upon the Questioning Heart Ladder to discern their own heart.”
As he watched the Questioning Heart Ladder return to its original position, Li Tianwei transmitted his voice to everyone within the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
The long, lingering voice echoed throughout the Sacred Land of Lingxu. Everyone who heard Li Tianwei’s words felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
“Good.”
Upon hearing Li Tianwei’s words, the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu could not help but respond.
