Chapter 84: “Grant Me Kindness, Yet Useless”
Having made up his mind to purify the Celestial Souls before him, Li Tianwei fully unleashed the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
Its might was far more terrifying than when he had used it outside the Forbidden Land of Taixu—most importantly, he was now channeling the Immortal Energy within the Forbidden Land to perform it.
Though he had yet to construct within his body an environment suitable for fusion, he could already use fission to trigger a form resembling fusion.
All things developed through a process, a sequence of nodes.
Li Tianwei had not yet achieved fully controllable fusion, but through his comprehension just now, it was natural that he had crossed several key thresholds in understanding and application.
Aiming to purify the Celestial Soul before him, Li Tianwei continuously poured out his power.
Spotless, pure energy emanated unceasingly.
Under the faintly penetrating radiation, the chaotic energy of the Forbidden Land of Taixu fell eerily into a deathly stillness.
The Celestial Soul that had been ferociously charging toward Li Tianwei suddenly halted.
These Celestial Souls were originally the remnants of countless thoughts from immortals, condensed over countless years within this disordered land.
The Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, modified by Li Tianwei, was already fused with the Dao Foundation he had forged, influencing matter on the atomic level in a mysterious form.
At least, that was how it appeared in Li Tianwei’s eyes.
Moreover, he had infused into it a trace of his understanding of Supreme Virtue, to better spread it and wash away all impurities.
Thus, the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity could extend smoothly, radiating upon all beings—and were these Celestial Souls not also a form of spirit?
Therefore, its effects upon these Celestial Souls were even stronger, for they were another kind of existence altogether.
In Li Tianwei’s view, his scripture was more akin to an informational influence driven by power—a kind of infection.
And such a concept already had a name in his former world: memetic infection.
Li Tianwei had studied this concept; in social practice, such memetic transmission and contagion were omnipresent.
Even if unnoticed by others, these invisible changes constantly occurred throughout society.
But Li Tianwei was different.
Through observing interactions among people, he had discovered the presence of this memetic infection.
For instance—a joke, an emoji—each formed an unseen link that subtly altered one’s judgment, even affecting certain aspects of society, changing definitions themselves.
Existence is reasoned, he mused.
Naturally, to spread his path of Great Kindness, Li Tianwei employed a touch of this memetic influence within his Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
He only wished that everyone would treat others with goodness, just as he himself was a man of great virtue.
Such spreading of kindness could only be beneficial.
Li Tianwei merely sought to use this method to purify evildoers, and also to restore these Celestial Souls tainted by Resentment and Evil Demons, so that they might ultimately return to heaven and earth.
Li Tianwei was by no means greedy; even without absorbing the power of these Celestial Souls, he could still succeed.
The immortals had already done enough—what remained should be his task to finish.
Lowering his gaze slightly, Li Tianwei’s eyes opened like those of a bodhisattva.
Yet within those eyes flickered a faint trace of violet—within the pure white of his flawless power, a tint of purple swirled and spread.
“Supreme Virtue cleanses all impurities—wash away the dust of the mortal world.”
With a wave of his hand, boundless radiance burst forth, a flavor of ultimate goodness permeating the air.
The previously chaotic, frenzied Celestial Souls rushing toward him were instantly bathed in the light of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
The Three-Leaf Fan Dao Foundation rapidly revolved; the entire world sank into silence—no trace of impurity remained.
“This—this—no bald monk ever played like this!”
Seeing Li Tianwei, a cultivator merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm, suddenly release such immaculate energy, the Spirit Dragon couldn’t help but curse aloud.
Hidden within that energy was a power capable of altering all thought—a filthy, manipulative method that still, inexplicably, worked upon those twisted Celestial Souls.
“What in the world is this technique…?”
Having lived for untold ages, even the Spirit Dragon had never seen such a thing.
Yet now was no time to ponder it.
If Li Tianwei succeeded in subduing the Celestial Souls, he would likely continue as before—and possibly blow up the entire Forbidden Land of Taixu.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Dragon had no means to stop what was happening before its eyes.
Li Tianwei, on the other hand, was truly purifying the impurities; waves of power continually radiated from him.
Far away, the once-maddened Celestial Souls now stood dazed, their ferocity utterly stilled.
Next, Li Tianwei intended to fully purify them—using his own consciousness to cleanse the remnants of these Celestial Souls, returning them to heaven and earth.
“Come!”
Li Tianwei stepped forward, arms slightly spread, approaching the Celestial Souls.
Their forms were strange—not truly human, yet bearing faint traces of humanity.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow that immortals had fallen to such a state, only strengthening his resolve to redeem them.
He extended a hand, gently touching the nearest Celestial Soul.
The Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity fully activated; immaculate light spread endlessly.
Layer by layer, it permeated and infused into the Celestial Souls.
Yet, even under its influence, they were still Celestial Souls—chaotic and uncontrollable by nature.
Sensing danger from Li Tianwei, several of them began to unleash techniques born of their former immortal obsessions.
Frenzied energy and intense Dao Intents erupted in an instant, surging directly toward Li Tianwei.
But strangely, even in the face of this, Li Tianwei did not move a muscle; not even the slightest reaction appeared on him as the Celestial Souls exploded with their might.
Soon, the assaults landed directly upon him.
Boom—!
Something bizarre occurred: despite the violent outburst of energy, not a single mark was left on Li Tianwei.
Seeing this, Li Tianwei calmly raised his hand, seizing the attacking Celestial Souls, his expression as serene as if the devastating power—enough to destroy cultivators of unknown realms—were utterly ineffective.
“Ah… As expected, these Celestial Souls are too kind. Even under the corruption of the Forbidden Land of Taixu, you could not resist striking at me.
“But because kindness still dwells within your hearts, your attacks have no effect upon me.
“Within my Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, attacks born of kindness cannot harm me.
“Allow me to deliver you!”
Li Tianwei sighed softly, then grasped the Celestial Souls before him.
Without hesitation, he began to operate every ounce of his power at full capacity.
Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—
