I Am Reason, the Reason of Reason

"How was this possible? How could this be possible?"

Evil Demon's face was full of disbelief.

At this moment, Evil Demon simply could not describe what it was seeing. Logically speaking, the deepest parts of everyone's heart were different. At most, they resembled a star; stronger people might nurture them until they shone like a resplendent sun.

Yet what appeared before Evil Demon's true body now was a sky full of stars, a vast universe. Evil Demon truly could not imagine how resolute and immense Ling Tianwei's heart was, as though it could contain everything.

No matter how Evil Demon thought about it, it could not imagine that someone's mind could reach such a state.

"No, I still have a chance. This is merely the mind of a cultivator. I am a heart demon—this is my home ground. He simply doesn't know how to wield this kind of power."

Evil Demon quickly suppressed the shock in its heart and comforted itself.

Just as Evil Demon was thinking, the sea of stars before its eyes suddenly rippled. Starlight filled the sky, and waves spread across the dazzling galaxy, its radiance illuminating the entire Mind World.

At that moment, a figure slowly emerged with his hands clasped behind his back. Behind him, the galaxy glittered brilliantly as he walked out from within it.

The newcomer was Ling Tianwei, a miniature version of Ling Tianwei.

Evil Demon was startled at the sight.

"Who exactly are you? How did you do this? This is clearly the heart demons' domain, yet you can manifest yourself within your own mind."

Evil Demon could not help asking directly.

In Evil Demon's eyes, the Mind World had always been dominated by their kind. Although cultivators constantly cultivated their hearts and advanced on two fronts, those capable of taking form within their minds were few and far between. Which one of them had not lived for thousands of years?

Yet Ling Tianwei had now emerged from this Mind World as casually as drifting clouds and a gentle breeze. How could Evil Demon not be shocked?

Ling Tianwei seemed not to hear the questioning in Evil Demon's words. Instead, he looked at it as though it were an idiot.

It was as if he were saying, What is wrong with this? This is how it should be.

"Hmph. Outside, I won't argue reason with you. But in the depths of my mind, I am reason—the reason of reason."

Ling Tianwei snorted. He had thought Evil Demon possessed some remarkable trick, yet it had merely entered the depths of his mind in an attempt to seize control of him by force.

It had not even considered who he was. The outside world required careful management, but within his own mind, Ling Tianwei had never doubted himself in the slightest. He was incomparably resolute and confident, believing that no one could compare to him.

"So it's over. That's all you've got."

Ling Tianwei waved a hand at Evil Demon, not forgetting to mock it. Immediately afterward, the starry river surged. Ling Tianwei activated the power that washed away all things and swept forward.

As for the power of the mind, Ling Tianwei did not truly understand it either. He had merely sensed Evil Demon's existence, placed himself into the situation, and then he knew how to do it.

Since Evil Demon could enter the depths of his heart, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to do the same? What was so strange about that? These Evil Demons were really nothing special.

Evil Demon had not expected Ling Tianwei to be so terrifying. Not only could he take form, but he also seemed to have learned without a teacher how to dominate and control everything within his mind, doing so countless times more smoothly than it could.

"No..."

Ling Tianwei's decisiveness and all his methods were simply too fast. Just as he had said, what reason was there to argue? Right and wrong were right before their eyes, clear as day.

Evil Demon's true body did not even have room to resist before it was completely suppressed by Ling Tianwei.

Seeing Evil Demon dissolve away, Ling Tianwei slowly opened his eyes, as though nothing had happened.

At this moment, the system that witnessed this scene was already dumbfounded. Unfortunately, it was merely a mass of data with no expressions, so that was only the system's imagination.

At the request of many readers, a VIP membership ad-free feature was now available.

The system had originally thought this would be its moment to shine, to display a standard system feature before Li Tianwei and directly kill Evil Demon as though it were a virus.

Yet it had not expected that Li Tianwei did not need it at all. He had not even been affected by Evil Demon in the slightest.

Just as he firmly believed himself to be the protagonist, to possess a Heavenly Spirit Root, his mind and temperament had reached an indescribable realm.

After thinking it over carefully, the system suddenly found this unsurprising. Li Tianwei was a freak who could use Heaven and Earth Grudge Power and all manner of stray thoughts to scour himself, yet still retain his sanity and rationality.

Now, its chance to show off once again was gone.

This isn't because I'm too useless. It's because this guy is too freakish. I simply have no chance to show what I can do.

The system could not help sighing.

In a situation where it had drawn a guaranteed prize and then been carried to victory, the system wondered whether it could become official if it reported this upward.

The system could only say that it was too difficult. Having a host who was too badass did not seem so great either—it was always being looked down upon.

The system was glad it had not bragged too early, or it would have lost even more face before Li Tianwei.

It seems I lost all my face long ago, the system thought involuntarily.

After dealing with Evil Demon, Li Tianwei continued waving the banner in his hand, cleansing the demonic cultivators and Evil Demons within Panshan City.

Very quickly, under Li Tianwei's absolute strength, he practically dug three feet into the ground. Even demonic cultivators hiding in pits they had dug inside their homes were dragged out by him.

Not a single one could escape Li Tianwei's eyes. Evil souls and Fierce Ghosts carried out a thorough purge.

After sweeping Panshan City clean, Li Tianwei's banner immediately gained the souls of tens of thousands of cultivators. Most were only at the Qi Refinement stage, but they had committed no few misdeeds, their bodies wrapped in sin.

"Looks like they're all here. Tens of thousands of evil souls—refine them properly, and in the future, they can redeem themselves for their sins!"

Li Tianwei's words entered the banner.

Those simple words made the Remnant Souls and Remnant Soul Fragments inside wail miserably.

At the same time, Li Tianwei began using spiritual power to refine this magic treasure.

After all, he would still have to contribute to the righteous path in the future. There were so many demonic cultivators steeped in sin who needed to enter the banner and have their sins properly cleansed.

"Ah, why can't the cultivators of this world be like me, with bodies and hearts as clear as a bright mirror, doing everything for justice?"

Li Tianwei could not help sighing. He did not feel anything at all about slaughtering every demonic cultivator in Panshan City.

After handling this matter, Li Tianwei did not forget the ordinary people in Panshan City. After all, with all the cultivators dead, how could they possibly remain safe?

Li Tianwei did not believe that after he left, if new demonic cultivators arrived and saw that Panshan City's cultivators were all dead while these ordinary people were still alive, they would have any good intentions.

"Human hearts are treacherous! Why can't everyone be like me?"

Li Tianwei lightly tapped the ground with his soul banner. Black smoke billowed behind him as countless evil souls and Fierce Ghosts revealed their savage forms.

"Take them back to Lingxu Sacred Land and settle them there!"

Li Tianwei had not forgotten that he had a powerful force behind him. Such an enormous sacred land of the righteous path possessed territory far greater than the Blood Nightmare Sect. Wasn't Bai Xuancheng, where he had once been, also well protected by Lingxu Sacred Land's cultivators?

Li Tianwei was not someone who wasted time. Once he thought of something, he did it, heading straight toward the ordinary people currently gathered within Panshan City.
