Ling Tianwei, having obtained the Vengeful Curse, was extremely satisfied, itching to try it out immediately.
Just as Ling Tianwei was growing excited, Bai Muxu and the other elders hurried over as well.
"Disciple, are you all right?"
Bai Muxu first swept Ling Tianwei with his divine sense. After all, Ling Tianwei's outburst just now had truly been somewhat too terrifying, enough to drain who knew how many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators dry.
Even though Ling Tianwei had achieved Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days and forged a supreme Dao foundation, possessing several times the strength of those at the same realm and the protection of Dao Intent, something could still have gone wrong.
Yet after sweeping him with his divine sense, Bai Muxu fell silent.
The scene Bai Muxu had expected—Ling Tianwei becoming weakened after employing such a Great Outburst technique—had not happened. Instead, the power throughout his body was exceptionally dense and heavy, as though he had suffered little consumption at all.
"I'm fine."
Ling Tianwei had no idea what Bai Muxu was thinking. Even if he had known, he would probably have found it normal.
After all, through his research, the spiritual power within his body produced by the Fission Qi Gathering Method was like Nuclear Fission, constantly colliding and multiplying.
With just a trace of spiritual qi, he could convert it into a vast amount of spiritual power for supply. Of course, it was a little uncomfortably swollen, but in Ling Tianwei's eyes, wasn't that normal? Wasn't cultivation supposed to be like this?
Thus, after the expenditure of his earlier outburst, Ling Tianwei had recovered very quickly. To put it bluntly, the reason he could erupt with such tremendous power was also because of the Grudge Intent wildly accumulating and stacking within his body.
"Are you sure you're all right?"
Sensing that Ling Tianwei was still brimming with spiritual power, Bai Muxu could not help asking again. This was his precious disciple; it would not do if something happened to him now!
"I'm fine. It's just that my Dao Intent was consumed a little."
To make Bai Muxu believe him, Ling Tianwei directly conducted a thorough examination of his body.
The violent spiritual power within him was still undergoing fission, converting spiritual qi and filling the deficiencies in his body. His Spiritual Platform and flesh would occasionally collapse a little, but with the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body, it was not much of a problem. It was only that his Dao Intent had become somewhat scattered and depleted.
Ling Tianwei answered truthfully, lowering his voice at the same time. Bai Muxu had said that he could not reveal too much Dao Intent.
"Is that so? As long as you're fine. This is the reward for the victor."
Only after confirming that Ling Tianwei had no major problems did Bai Muxu take out the Spirit Light Wheel Xiao E had given him earlier.
Ling Tianwei's gaze was drawn to the Dharma wheel in Bai Muxu's hand, which spun without end, radiated treasure light, and revealed layer upon layer of formations stacked atop one another.
"This is the Spirit Light Wheel, a High-grade magical treasure. Even Spirit Transformation cultivators may not possess such a treasure."
"This magical treasure consists of several hundred offensive formations. As long as you feed it Spirit Stones or spiritual power, it can unleash a Five Elements grand formation and wield the power of the Five Elements. With your strength, you can bring forth Golden Core Realm power through it, and even use it to cast spells of a higher grade."
Seeing Ling Tianwei's gaze, Bai Muxu explained the uses of the Spirit Light Wheel.
After hearing this, Ling Tianwei could not help taking it.
The instant it landed in his hand, the surging spiritual power within it and the patterns traced by its formations began gleaming brightly.
"Thank you, Master."
After inspecting it from top to bottom, Ling Tianwei cupped his hands toward Bai Muxu in thanks.
"Enough. Leave the remaining matters to us! Rest well. If anything feels wrong, contact me immediately with this jade token."
Bai Muxu took out a flawless white jade piece and placed it in Ling Tianwei's hand, then turned to speak with the other elders.
Ling Tianwei put everything away. Compared to that, he was even more eager to see the power of this Vengeful Curse.
After Yuan Xixiao finished teaching him earlier, Li Tianwei had already learned it.
He had even tested it a little and discovered that this Vengeful Curse was far from simple. It could stir the Dao Intent of resentment within the body, connect it with Heaven and Earth, and thereby trigger a Great Outburst of the Grudge Intent within one's body.
Combined with his own continuously fissioning state, as long as he had enough time, he could drive the towering Grudge Intent within and erupt once more with power as mighty as before.
In short, it was perfect.
If used well, he could continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Grudge Power through it, strengthening himself and forming a perpetual-motion machine.
As for the influence of Grudge Power, Li Tianwei had not considered it in the slightest. His Dao Heart was unshakable as rock; so-called Grudge Power could not affect him at all.
Yuan Xixiao was in an even worse state than Li Tianwei. Though he had not died, after facing Li Tianwei's crazed outburst head-on, the sight of Li Tianwei wrapped in Grudge Power, like a great demon walking the world, had already been branded into Yuan Xixiao's heart, becoming a heart demon sufficient to block his path of cultivation.
After Bai Muxu's words, Li Tianwei left directly.
As for what would happen afterward, the people of Lingxu Sacred Land would handle it themselves.
Right now, he only wanted to return and properly study how the Vengeful Curse could activate and connect to Heaven and Earth Grudge Power. Only then could he become even stronger.
In his eyes, the disputes between sects were merely trivial matters. Compared to that, there were still the Evil Demons of Heaven and Earth, as well as the murky state of the entire world.
Besides that, Li Tianwei also had some clues regarding the Evil Demons.
"If I didn't sense wrongly..."
Li Tianwei recalled his outburst on the combat platform. That surging Grudge Power and Death Intent, strand by strand, outlined everything within his heart.
At the same time, relying on that feeling, Li Tianwei noticed that some people beside the combat platform possessed a strange attraction that inexplicably resonated with him.
Li Tianwei could sense that these people were especially different from ordinary people. There was an evil aura about them.
According to the system's information, these people might have been invaded by Evil Demons.
However, Li Tianwei had no intention of exposing them. The situation regarding the Evil Demons was unclear, and most importantly, he did not possess absolute strength.
Although Lingxu Sacred Land had the power to resist them, who could guarantee anything?
Things would be different after some time, Li Tianwei thought, returning to his cave dwelling on Tianmen Peak.
He immediately began studying the Vengeful Curse. Unlike great immortal arts such as the Five Intent Sky Condensation Art, or other cultivation methods, the Vengeful Curse did not have a great deal of text.
It contained only an analysis of Grudge Power and methods for controlling and guiding it. It was exceedingly simple, and Li Tianwei learned it at a glance without the slightest pressure.
After all, ever since his previous world, Li Tianwei had never encountered anything he could not comprehend.
Li Tianwei saw the answer at a glance; as for the process, it was irrelevant. That was what others needed to prove.
"Come on! Let me test the power of the Vengeful Curse!"
Li Tianwei thought silently and began reciting the incantation of the Vengeful Curse.
"Let all evils shield the body, let the Dharma connect... to resentment of Heaven..."
Li Tianwei formed hand seals, stirring his spiritual power.
In an instant, guided by the Vengeful Curse, the resentment qi constantly produced through fission within Li Tianwei's body was once again ignited by this fuse.
This time, prepared in advance, Li Tianwei immediately seized that feeling precisely.
Terrifying power swept through Li Tianwei's entire body, and the power within him surged without end.
