Chapter 86: All Are Important
Before Li Tianwei’s eyes, the pure, white, and brilliantly colored Celestial Souls finally welcomed their release.
After Li Tianwei completely washed away their distractions and all impurities, they fluttered a few times, gradually dispersing and turning into countless star-like points of light that scattered and returned to heaven and earth.
As for the reason—those transcendent distractions of immortals and the pollution of the devils were all accepted and contained by Li Tianwei’s vast and all-embracing heart.
The remaining energy, pure to the extreme, how could it not return to heaven and earth?
Li Tianwei looked upon this scene and nodded slightly.
In his eyes, was this not salvation?
“Since that’s the case, let’s take advantage of this momentum and completely deliver all the Celestial Souls of the Forbidden Land of Taixu as well!”
“The Hundred Intentions draw near; the Golden Core shall be proven.”
Li Tianwei thought as he raised his hand, dozens of Dao Intents circling before him.
Then, turning toward the region behind him—where he had been constructing a fusion form—his eyes shone with violet light.
With a flick of his sleeve, the boundless fusion halted instantly.
After comprehending more Dao Intents, Li Tianwei gained a deeper understanding of the control over heaven and earth and of his own existence.
“Collect.”
Li Tianwei uttered a single word.
Under his control, the energy within the fusion region surged toward him in an instant.
He absorbed it into himself, and at this moment, Li Tianwei already had a general plan regarding the fusion-based Qi-Guiding Method and breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
However, before that, the Hundred Intentions still needed to be condensed.
Having thought this through, Li Tianwei waved his hand, and the Saint Soul Banner appeared.
After undergoing refinement through the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, being nourished by the Resentment Force of heaven and earth, and continuously tormenting the souls of the demonic cultivators imprisoned within the city inside it—
No one knew what level the Saint Soul Banner had now reached.
With a flick of his hand, Li Tianwei unhesitatingly chose to use the Saint Soul Banner to absorb the Immortal Energy within the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
In Li Tianwei’s view, this Immortal Energy would be useful in the future—far more abundant than that within the Sacred Land of Lingxu or the Demonic Sect Territory.
Thus, he would store as much as possible; it would surely prove useful later on.
Hence, Li Tianwei, his entire body shrouded in holy and demonic aura, held the faintly green-glowing soul banner as he advanced toward the center of the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
After Li Tianwei gathered the energy of the fusion region, the Spirit Dragon, seeing his departing figure with the banner in hand, finally withdrew slowly.
“At least he’s not causing trouble anymore.”
Though the Spirit Dragon did not know why Li Tianwei had left, at the very least, the crisis that Li Tianwei had almost caused earlier had disappeared.
Boom—
Whoosh—
As Li Tianwei passed along the way, he continuously wielded the Saint Soul Banner, completely absorbing the energy of the Forbidden Land of Taixu.
Because the Celestial Souls had collectively appeared earlier, the ones that Bai Muxu had warned him to be cautious of in every direction were nowhere to be found.
Thus, Li Tianwei could only search everywhere for Celestial Souls, deliver them, and gather insight into the Hundred Intentions.
Li Tianwei had not expected things to turn out this way, but it was indeed because of the Celestial Souls themselves—they had been influenced by the devils.
“Fortunately, I know the state of the Celestial Souls. I know they came for goodness’ sake.”
“I will never let you down.”
Thinking so, Li Tianwei’s spirit was once again invigorated.
He seized the time, delivering several more Celestial Souls and comprehending a few additional Dao Intents along the way.
Time passed little by little; Li Tianwei no longer knew how long he had wandered within the Sacred Land of Taixu.
Yet by now, the number of Celestial Souls he had delivered reached fifty or sixty.
At the same time, his Dao Intents had also reached one hundred.
“Finally… finally complete.”
“Kill, Death, Evil, Resentment, Anger, Destruction, Annihilation… Joy, Bliss, Purity, Land… Five Elements, Five Transformations.”
“The Hundred Intentions are complete—it is time to step into the Golden Core Realm.”
Li Tianwei slowly stopped midair and closed his eyes.
A hundred Intentions circled around him; endless Dao Rhythms gathered.
Meanwhile, the chaotic energy within the Forbidden Land of Taixu began converging toward Li Tianwei.
“Fusion—begin.”
Li Tianwei once again released the power he had nearly completed fusing earlier, and in an instant, the overwhelming, world-overturning phenomenon of the Forbidden Land of Taixu resurfaced.
This time, with the empowerment of the Hundred Intentions, he possessed perfect control over power and transformation of his body.
To create an environment capable of containing fusion, Li Tianwei had already found the place—
The Golden Core.
Li Tianwei planned to construct the fusion environment within the Golden Core.
Before, he had thought of using his body to withstand it.
But he decided it was unnecessary—his body was vast and still had greater matters to accomplish; it should not be wasted.
“Fusion Golden Core.”
Li Tianwei had already decided upon his future path.
Once thought, he acted—never one to delay—especially when he had fulfilled every requirement of himself: condensing a hundred Dao Intents before forming the Golden Core.
“Come then! Immortal Energy of the Forbidden Land of Taixu—aid me in my breakthrough!”
Li Tianwei directly opened the apertures of his physical body, unhesitatingly absorbing the energy of the Forbidden Land of Taixu completely into himself.
In an instant, the chaotic energy within the Forbidden Land surged toward Li Tianwei like a flood in reverse.
At the same time, Li Tianwei controlled that chaotic energy, guiding its fusion.
He began condensing his own essence, energy, and spirit.
According to Bai Muxu, at this stage of Golden Core, essence, energy, and spirit united as one.
Depending on one’s foundation, learning, comprehension, and aptitude, different Golden Cores would form.
In the transformation of the Golden Core—if your foundation and base were solid—you could connect with heaven and earth, receiving an inexplicable calling, allowing your Golden Core to seek a path that none had walked before.
Such a path would make your Golden Core different from others, for this road began with you; this position was yours.
Unless you fell, in this path of the Golden Core, you would always surpass others.
This was the reason Bai Muxu could slay Nascent Soul cultivators while still at the Golden Core Realm—he had forged a path of his own.
In fact, in the present day, there existed countless paths of the Golden Core.
But in the past, most were unable to walk their own path; they could only follow those left behind by the prodigies who had comprehended the Way of the Golden Core.
Thus, they would inevitably be beneath those prodigies.
However, generation after generation of geniuses arose—some ascended, some perished—and the paths of the Golden Core became as numerous as oxen in the field.
Except for some remote corners at the foot of certain mountains still practicing the old ways, most major powers held several Golden Core paths that no one had cultivated before.
As for why there were so many vacancies among the Golden Core paths, and why so many of them continued to spread without being sealed off entirely, it was indeed quite strange.
Yet even these vacant Golden Core paths could never compare to a path forged by one’s own hands.
Thus, the cultivation world borrowed a term from Buddhism to describe the positions of such self-created Golden Core paths—calling them “Fruits of Attainment.”
Many believed the Golden Core to be of utmost importance.
Li Tianwei, however, disdained such a notion—was there ever a stage that was not important?
At Foundation Establishment, they said the Hundred-Day Foundation was crucial.
At Golden Core, they said self-proving the Fruit of Attainment was crucial.
At Nascent Soul, they said one must possess Dao Inscriptions, which were crucial.
Then what of Spirit Transformation?
Such reasoning was like saying: “First grade is important, second grade is even more important, junior high is important… sixty years old is important… even where you’re buried after death, for the sake of your descendants, is important.”
