Chapter 81: Are Foundation Establishment Cultivators This Powerful Nowadays?
The power of fusion—Li Tianwei closed his eyes and carefully felt the breath of that chaotic force within the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
The current Li Tianwei was no longer the one who had first cultivated in the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
At that time, he had already been able to stir the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing it to collide and fission into vast amounts of energy—let alone now!
However, Li Tianwei understood the difference between fusion and fission.
To achieve fusion, he had to eliminate the repulsive force between spiritual energies and make them merge into an even greater form of power.
Through this transformation, he would generate energy that was nearly infinite.
In his former world, fusion had only been at the experimental stage.
At best, fusion could be triggered, but it remained uncontrollable.
Yet, from the moment Li Tianwei learned of fusion, he had already grasped part of the answer.
Now, he was about to apply it to the cultivation world—and within his own body.
As for how to achieve it—he needed to construct within his body a system capable of resolving repulsion.
In the mortal world, that would be temperature—hundreds of millions of degrees of heat—to diminish atomic repulsion.
But now, Li Tianwei saw another possibility.
After all, this was the cultivation world; the manifestation of power here was completely different.
Li Tianwei had absolute confidence that he could create an environment suitable for fusion.
“Come then, immortal energy.”
He felt the chaotic energy within the Forbidden Land of Taixu—it was far more terrifying than the spiritual energy outside.
Because it was stronger, Li Tianwei perceived that this power differed from ordinary spiritual energy—not only in arrangement but also in the way their forces were astonishingly close to one another.
The closer they were, the greater the chance they would merge—and precisely because of this closeness, their might was even greater.
That was why Li Tianwei believed this was immortal energy.
“It seems even heaven and earth recognize the definition I’ve given to this power. Otherwise, why would the energy enveloping the Forbidden Land of Taixu so perfectly match the Qi-Guiding Method I now wish to alter?”
“It can’t be that when I was in the Sacred Land of Lingxu, I just happened to sigh, thinking if only the Forbidden Land of Taixu contained power more suited for fusion—and then it really appeared here.”
“No way, no way!”
Though Li Tianwei thought so, his hands didn’t slow in the slightest.
Having gained a basic understanding of the energy, he began the process of fusion.
A vortex began to swirl above his head, while a surge of power continuously rippled outward.
The chaotic fluctuations spread.
No one noticed that as Li Tianwei guided this chaotic energy toward fusion, something deep within the Forbidden Land of Taixu seemed to sense this sudden anomaly.
It slowly awakened, and along with it, the countless celestial souls within the Forbidden Land became restless—madly wandering throughout the domain.
“Who is it? Who is it?”
A murmuring voice echoed through heaven and earth, yet because the Forbidden Land of Taixu was vast beyond measure, it only resounded within a single region.
Had anyone been observing, they would have seen a faint cold light flash across the heavens.
A colossal body covered in shimmering scales coiled in the sky—its true length unknown—but the moment it appeared, purple lightning wreathed its western side.
Its eyes were majestic and cold as lightning; its head resembled a camel, its horns like those of a deer…
When its form fully revealed itself—it was a five-clawed azure dragon.
Soon, the vision faded.
The dragon’s form vanished, leaving behind only a half-transparent little spirit dragon floating in midair.
“I remember now. That fellow told me to guard this place, to await the destined one who would awaken me and receive that person’s inheritance.”
“Damn it! Despicable! I don’t even know how long that scoundrel tricked me into sleeping!”
“Still thinking of passing on inheritance? Dream on!”
“No… this isn’t right. The timing of my awakening is wrong. Wasn’t it supposed to be tens of thousands of years later? Why has it changed so suddenly?”
The semi-transparent spirit dragon muttered to itself as if it had lost its mind.
“I’ve awakened early—something must have happened!”
As the spirit dragon pondered, it suddenly sensed something and instinctively raised its head, gazing into the distance of the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
“This aura… this power… not good.”
“Who is it?”
Deep within the Forbidden Land, Li Tianwei had no idea what was happening.
At this moment, he was already entering the perfect state, determined to complete the fusion-guiding process in one breath.
Rumble…
Under Li Tianwei’s fearless control and guidance, strange sounds continuously echoed throughout the Forbidden Land of Taixu, as though it were under immense pressure.
At the same time, rippling waves appeared in midair.
Had anyone else been able to control the energy within the Forbidden Land as Li Tianwei did, they would have realized—he was dissolving repulsive forces in an unprecedented way, forcibly merging two distinct powers together.
What Li Tianwei needed was to provide immense heat and pressure for this fusion to take place.
At this moment, Li Tianwei had entered his peak state.
He connected with the Resentment Force of Heaven and Earth, activated the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, and the Golden Core of his elevated realm faintly shimmered behind him.
Between his brows, the Three-Leaf Fan Dao Foundation spun gently, releasing a sacred, pure aura.
Yet, from its depths, an evil, malevolent energy also emerged.
At this moment, Li Tianwei embodied both holiness and demonic might.
“Fuse for me.”
Li Tianwei whispered softly.
The inverted forces intensified, and the vortex expanded once more.
Rumble…
If there existed a being capable of fully controlling the Forbidden Land of Taixu, it would have noticed that the chaotic power of heaven and earth had grown even more disorderly—so much so that a unique vaporizing phenomenon had begun.
The energy had turned frenzied, its activity soaring severalfold.
In this strange state, something seemed to be gestating within—a presence of extreme cold and lifelessness that invoked instinctive fear.
Meanwhile, upon sensing the disturbance, the spirit dragon immediately flew toward the source.
When it arrived, it raised its head, utterly stunned by the scene before it.
It could hardly describe what it saw.
Chaotic energy masses had turned into fog, spreading across heaven and earth.
Beneath them, a solitary figure sat upright.
A power of purest evil surged forth, mingled with faint holy intent—such contradictory forces twisted the compressed chaos within the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
And that person was merely manipulating everything through an eerie method.
What terrified the spirit dragon most was that the man below—though clearly at the Foundation Establishment Realm—had a Golden Core faintly visible behind him, and five different Dao Intents entwined around his body.
Every sign reflected his terrifying power.
Yet the strangest part was that, in the dragon’s eyes, this man’s aptitude was appallingly poor.
Not only did he possess a False Spiritual Root, but even his physique was one abandoned by heaven.
Ordinarily, such a person wouldn’t even be able to sense spiritual energy, let alone cultivate.
Yet now, he had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm—and was performing a feat even the prodigies of ancient times could not achieve.
Most importantly, it seemed that the abnormal change within the Forbidden Land of Taixu stemmed entirely from him.
The spirit dragon looked up at the chaotic energy above, which was condensing into mist.
Relying on its authority over the Forbidden Land, the spirit dragon could feel it—this was the reason it had awakened.
And the reason? The Forbidden Land was telling it—I’m about to be destroyed.
Stop him.
“What’s going on? Has the era changed? Are Foundation Establishment cultivators this powerful now?”
Seeing this, the spirit dragon was so shocked that all traces of its divine demeanor as a true dragon vanished.
