After settling the several million people brought back from the Demonic Sect Land, Li Tianwei finally returned to Tianmen Peak of the Lingxu Sacred Land.

The moment he returned to Tianmen Peak, Bai Muxu appeared before him.

"Disciple."

Upon seeing Bai Muxu, Li Tianwei cupped his hands and bowed. "Greetings, Master."

Seeing Li Tianwei's aura at Foundation Establishment Late Stage and the five kinds of Dao Intentions on him, Bai Muxu nodded lightly.

"It seems you did not slack off in your cultivation while outside."

"You are already at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, much faster than I expected. It is time to begin preparing to attain the Golden Core."

Bai Muxu slowly turned his back, his words carrying a certain gravity.

"This disciple had the same thought. After my trip to the Demonic Sect Land, I realized that my own foundation is still rather lacking."

Li Tianwei answered slowly.

His mind was filled with anxiety over failing to instantly kill that Nascent Soul peak cultivator! If he could have killed him in an instant, that Evil Demon would probably not even have been qualified to come near him.

Hearing Li Tianwei say this, Bai Muxu looked him over from head to toe. In Bai Muxu's eyes, he truly was somewhat lacking—he looked rather evil.

Yet Bai Muxu had given him the cultivation methods, taught him the knowledge, and Li Tianwei had even cultivated on Tianmen Peak. So how had he ended up cultivating himself into something a little evil?

For the sake of his future reputation, Bai Muxu felt it was necessary to set him straight.

Originally, all the resources, spells, and cultivation methods Bai Muxu had given Li Tianwei were meant for his reference. Quite a few had come from the storage rings of those Nascent Soul stage cultivators killed in the last great battle with the Demonic Sect Land. There had been plenty of resources inside, and after removing certain things harmful to others, Bai Muxu had tossed them to Li Tianwei.

Who would have thought that Li Tianwei had cultivated every one of those demonic arts that did not seem to have any major issues?

But Bai Muxu knew that this was also his own fault. If Li Tianwei had not successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days, Bai Muxu would not have gone to show off at the other peaks, even running two and a half laps around the Lingxu Sacred Land, and stayed away from the peak for several days.

Otherwise, Li Tianwei would not have been influenced by Corrupting Grudge Qi while cultivating inside. Fortunately, Li Tianwei's Dao Heart was steadfast, and he had comprehended Dao Intentions from the Corrupting Grudge Qi.

Since a problem had appeared, he, as the master, had to make up for it.

Although demonic cultivation methods were fast, they were also somewhat extreme. Cultivating too many of them could cause problems as well.

The pursuit of immortality emphasized balance. Yin and yang, the five elements, the myriad Daos of heaven and earth—all moved forward steadily amid balance.

What Li Tianwei needed now was a more orthodox cultivation method, one that could suppress his utterly evil form a little.

After thinking carefully, Bai Muxu really did find a suitable cultivation method among his collection.

It was just that, in Bai Muxu's view, this method was a little too... well, too soft. Bai Muxu had always disagreed with the ideological path advocated by the person who created it.

That person had actually believed that everything in the world was good, and that so long as it was purified and enlightened, even demonic cultivators and Evil Cultivators could be redeemed.

It was precisely for this reason that the creator of this cultivation method had ultimately died at the hands of demonic cultivators.

Speaking of it, that person's strength and talent had been about equal to Bai Muxu's. What a pity! In this era, who could keep their hands unstained by blood? Why did kindness have to be your weakness?

Bai Muxu could not help sighing, after all, that person had once saved him.

Thus, Bai Muxu had only kept this cultivation method as a collectible. But things were different now. Thinking of the soaring demonic qi around Li Tianwei, using this to counterbalance it would not be bad. It could bring the two principles into balance.

With a clap of his hands, Bai Muxu made his decision.

As for frankly telling Li Tianwei that he had gone astray in his cultivation and needed correction, Bai Muxu would never say such a thing. This was about face! Besides, he had not gone astray at all, absolutely not. Was Bai Muxu not correcting him now? Cultivating a few demonic arts was perfectly normal.

"Disciple, this is the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, a truly supreme Righteous Law. I see that your cultivation is about to break through to the Golden Core, so I am giving you this method. In my view, the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture is even more suited to you than the Five Intentions Condensing Heaven Art..."

Bai Muxu hesitated for a moment, but he still could not think of any aspect of Li Tianwei that he could praise. Perhaps he could praise his aptitude. By the end, Bai Muxu still had some shame and did not want to keep lying through his teeth.

"The Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture?"

Li Tianwei looked at the book Bai Muxu handed over, confusion written across his face.

But upon seeing the character for "good" on the book, Li Tianwei immediately felt that the cultivation method Bai Muxu had given him must suit him very well. After all, he himself was a good person.

Li Tianwei accepted the book and thanked him.

"Thank you, Master."

"You must cultivate it diligently."

Seeing Li Tianwei accept it, Bai Muxu gave an awkward reminder.

"I will certainly cultivate it well and understand the meaning of this secret manual."

Li Tianwei nodded deeply. This was the first time Bai Muxu had given him such an earnest instruction. The last time had been for Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days, so Li Tianwei promised himself that he would satisfy Bai Muxu.

Seeing Li Tianwei nod so seriously, Bai Muxu finally breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Li Tianwei had at least returned to the right path. This was, after all, an absolutely orthodox Righteous Law. Could Li Tianwei possibly cultivate it crooked again?

"Besides that, I have already applied to the Sacred Lord to open the Taixu Forbidden Land for you."

"The Taixu Forbidden Land was once an Immortal War Zone. Many immortals fell within it. Because of the special nature of that place, one can even encounter Immortal Souls inside. Thus, it contains countless opportunities. However, those Immortal Souls no longer possess consciousness and are extremely dangerous. It can be said that benefits and dangers coexist."

"With your talent, if you enter it and comprehend more Dao Intentions, it is not impossible that you may gain Divine Abilities as well."

"Due to the special nature of the Taixu Forbidden Land, entering it means nine deaths and one life. Are you willing to enter the Taixu Forbidden Land and fight for that sliver of heaven-reaching power?"

Bai Muxu laid out the arrangements he had planned and explained the advantages and dangers of the Taixu Forbidden Land to Li Tianwei.

After hearing Bai Muxu's words, Li Tianwei's eyes lit up. Was this not exactly what he had come to Bai Muxu for, without prior consultation yet perfectly in accord?

What he needed now was precisely a good place where he could comprehend Dao Intentions and increase his cultivation.

Sure enough, the moment I thought of it, it was delivered right to my door. This is the treatment of a protagonist. As expected, my abilities are simply too strong.

Li Tianwei could not help inwardly marveling.

As for whether it was ten deaths and no life inside, perhaps that was true for others, but it would absolutely never happen to him.

Though he thought so in his heart, Li Tianwei could not possibly say it aloud. When Bai Muxu asked, Li Tianwei answered without hesitation.

"This disciple is willing."

As Bai Muxu asked the question, he had also been observing Li Tianwei's expression, but he did not see the slightest hint of retreat.

Li Tianwei merely revealed a trace of delight upon hearing it before immediately agreeing. It showed just how decisive he was.

"Good. As expected of my disciple."

Bai Muxu nodded in satisfaction.
