Grabbing those Immortal Souls in one sweep, Ling Tianwei recited the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture and, without the slightest hesitation, drew the Immortal Souls before him into it.
The Three-Leaf Round Fan at his brow spun rapidly, its pure and flawless aura spreading outward as pure power continuously radiated forth.
Purple light flared in Ling Tianwei's eyes, and the strange Immortal Souls, originally crazed and out of control, were instantly seized and left motionless where they stood.
Dazzling radiance enveloped them. For some reason, those Immortal Souls began drawing closer and closer to Ling Tianwei.
"Let me deliver you all!"
Ling Tianwei continued chanting, the light at his brow flashing without end.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that these Immortal Souls did not seem to be heading straight toward Ling Tianwei.
Rather, that pure and flawless power, that clean, sacred, and benevolent aura, transformed into strands of fine threads that wound around them and dragged them within.
The Immortal Souls were utterly powerless to struggle as they entered Ling Tianwei's body.
"Come! I shall deliver you all."
A compassionate smile hung on Ling Tianwei's face as the Immortal Souls before him merged into his body step by step.
Such a scene instinctively made one feel that something was deeply strange.
Yet in Ling Tianwei's eyes, he himself was a person of pure goodness. Naturally, to deliver others, he had to measure others by himself—using his own body to deliver them, allowing them to enter his purely good body, then washing away all their worldly dross to achieve the purpose of deliverance.
Ling Tianwei believed his actions were fully justified. How could he possibly covet the pure power within them?
Whoosh...
Very soon, Immortal Souls continuously entered Ling Tianwei's body.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Dragon in the distance, its thoughts thrown into utter chaos by Ling Tianwei's influence, watched that strange Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Not only had he suppressed the Immortal Souls, but he also seemed to be absorbing them.
"Could it be that he is the reincarnation of one of those great demons?"
Seeing Ling Tianwei absorb those Immortal Souls, the Spiritual Dragon was reminded of the supreme great demons from its own era. Even in worlds infected by the Evil Demon invasion, they could still draw Heaven and Earth Grudge Power and foul, resentful qi into themselves to cultivate.
Yet even they did not seem capable of being as excessive as the fellow before it. These Immortal Souls were the stray thoughts of immortals. Immortals could annihilate them, but they would never wish to come into contact with them, lest they lose their own spirituality.
This fellow was either ignorant, or he truly considered such things inconsequential.
"Only tens of thousands of years have passed. Has the era changed this much?"
"Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators are already this terrifying. Then what kind of lives must the Evil Demons outside be living?"
"Perhaps... he calculated wrong."
The Spiritual Dragon muttered, confusion appearing in its eyes as though it were beginning to doubt whether their choice back then had been wrong.
While the Spiritual Dragon questioned its very existence, Ling Tianwei entered a peculiar state.
That familiar thing he craved was none other than "enlightenment."
That was right. He had entered enlightenment once more.
After drawing those Immortal Souls into himself and delivering them through his own body, that feeling of "enlightenment" returned.
Soon, countless afterimages flashed before Ling Tianwei's eyes, as though he had transformed into an immortal battling Evil Demons. Countless immortals fell, and Evil Demons emerged.
Then he himself sank into the filth of utmost yin and utmost evil laid down by the Evil Demons, continuously falling deeper, unable even to resist.
At this moment, Ling Tianwei personally experienced it all, savoring it bit by bit.
Ling Tianwei knew that this was everything the Immortal Souls he had delivered had endured.
Scene after scene flowed before his eyes. Ling Tianwei did not know how many years he had experienced, but this journey truly made him seem like an immortal.
There was supreme might, as well as the wicked pleasures bestowed by Evil Demons.
With things like these, so long as one's will wavered in the slightest, one would surely fall and sink like the existences within these endless visions.
Yet to Ling Tianwei, the power of immortals and the strangeness of Evil Demons were nothing more than experiences.
In his view, these experiences were likely the stray thoughts of the Immortal Souls he had delivered—the last remnants of rationality that had survived. Ling Tianwei believed he should wash them clean, so that the Immortal Souls could depart properly.
Under Ling Tianwei's powerful will, the endless resentment of heaven and earth entwined around the Immortal Souls, along with all the stray thoughts twisted by Evil Demons, were drawn into Ling Tianwei.
As he continuously absorbed them, fragments of insight belonging to those immortals also surged into Ling Tianwei's heart.
Very soon, two intents arose: sorrow and despair...
Borrowing the immortals' sorrow at their descent and their despair at being powerless to resist, Ling Tianwei comprehended two intents.
The intents within Ling Tianwei had now reached seven.
Yet at this moment, Ling Tianwei still did not stop. Following his own ideas, he continued delivering these Immortal Souls.
No stray thoughts, no influences—none of them appeared upon Ling Tianwei. In his eyes, these Immortal Souls were exceedingly good. Since they were good, they could not possibly harm him.
Amid these stray thoughts, Ling Tianwei continuously experienced the fragmented and exceptionally chaotic scenes of those dozen or so Immortal Souls.
Pain, high spirits...
These Immortal Souls had once been remnants of immortals' stray thoughts. Which Immortal Soul did not possess tens of thousands of years of experience? The insights within those memories were enough to elevate one's understanding.
Of course, it was even more likely that such understanding would leave one unable to distinguish what truly belonged to oneself.
But Ling Tianwei was exceptionally unreasonable. In his eyes, everything was but passing clouds, because all things already had their answers.
Could they affect him in the slightest? No. The two sides of all things, spear and shield, the construction of people and society.
In Ling Tianwei's eyes, everything could be seen to its end. If you said you could not see it, that was because you were not him.
Rumble...
Booms exploded throughout the Taixu Forbidden Land as Ling Tianwei's aura rose without end, one intent after another continuously emerging from his body.
At this moment, he was fulfilling the words he had spoken when he comprehended the intents before: before breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, Hundred Intentions would be achieved.
Now, Ling Tianwei had seized the chance to wash away the worldly dross of these Immortal Souls, thoroughly comprehending everything they possessed and washing it all clean.
The stray thoughts of more than a dozen Immortal Souls became his kindling.
"The hundred flavors of life, the way of artifacts, the road of duty..."
All kinds of things surfaced before Ling Tianwei's eyes, continuously intertwining.
In no time at all, Dao resonance manifested around Ling Tianwei's entire body.
Dozens of intents surrounded him. In such a superimposed state, every movement he made seemed to possess immense might.
This transformation seemed to begin from his very essence. Ling Tianwei could sense that the feeling of the Taixu Forbidden Land obstructing everything could no longer be imposed upon him.
After washing away the stray thoughts of those Immortal Souls, Ling Tianwei gave a slight wave of his hand, and the dozen or so translucent Immortal Souls were instantly released.
Their bodies were pale white, giving off faint, colorful white radiance, as though they were about to drift away into the distance.
Just as Ling Tianwei had said, after his deliverance, these Immortal Souls were guaranteed to be utterly clean.
Looking at the Immortal Souls, their purity had reached the utmost limit. There was not the slightest trace of filth upon them; they were so sacred that one could seemingly see straight through them at a glance.
That previous strangeness and terror were gone.
Ling Tianwei declared that the results were excellent. These Immortal Souls should be very satisfied, and heaven and earth surely were as well.
Otherwise, why would he have entered enlightenment again?
