I Seem to Understand Again

The Spiritual Dragon could not tell what Li Tianwei was doing, but it already understood that it had to stop this guy, or they were finished.

Once that thing unfolded, it would definitely trigger an ultimate chain reaction and turn half of the Taixu Forbidden Land upside down.

Never mind how this guy had pulled it off—he actually dared to cultivate something so dangerous. The Spiritual Dragon deeply suspected that someone had sent him here.

The Spiritual Dragon did not know what to say. It had never imagined that one day, it would have to take down someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"But my current strength..."

"I can only send those Immortal Souls."

The Spiritual Dragon hesitated for a moment, then closed its eyes and began guiding the Immortal Souls wandering the Taixu Forbidden Land.

Before long, more than a dozen phantom figures appeared along the distant horizon.

At the arrival of the Immortal Souls, a trace of nostalgia flashed through the Spiritual Dragon's eyes.

But the Spiritual Dragon knew that these Immortal Souls were not truly Remnant Souls left behind after immortals had died.

Rather, they had formed from the stray thoughts left behind after those immortals fell. Immortals had already transcended all things; even the thoughts born from them would not be accepted by heaven and earth.

The Taixu Forbidden Land had once been an Immortal War Zone. After countless years, those immortal thoughts unaccepted by heaven and earth had gathered into things known as Immortal Souls.

More or less, they had inherited a thread of the might once possessed by those fallen immortals.

Though they did not possess the vast and terrifying strength of immortals, each had its own peculiar traits.

Cultivators could peer into a sliver of an immortal's grace through these thoughts, comprehend some of the remnants left by immortals, and thus walk their own path.

That was why the Taixu Forbidden Land had become such an excellent place for enlightenment.

Of course, Immortal Souls were unconscious, disorderly, and exceptionally dangerous.

The Spiritual Dragon was not controlling them. It was merely using its authority over the Taixu Forbidden Land to guide them here.

Very soon, these disorderly Immortal Souls rushed wildly toward Li Tianwei's location.

As for Li Tianwei, he had now reached the crucial point of cultivating fusion.

That was to merge it into himself and construct an environment within his body suitable for fusion.

This process was incredibly dangerous—far more than hundreds of times as dangerous as fission had once been.

He had to continuously purify himself, allowing his body to evolve without end.

With the Sacrifice Dao Undying Body, Li Tianwei relied on the various methods he had collected at the Lingxu Sacred Land, methods that could exhaust potential and strengthen the flesh.

The transformation of the flesh differed from cultivation. It could truly leave traces within the body.

With the Sacrifice Dao Undying Body, he was not afraid of dying because of it at all.

Thus, Li Tianwei continued to squeeze himself dry and erupt with power.

"Fire Ash Body Tempering, Soul Slicing Body Gathering, Spirit Discharging Bone Casting..."

Li Tianwei continuously integrated them into himself, as though he intended to turn himself into kindling. His flesh was visibly transforming.

"Too slow, too slow..."

He could feel his flesh changing, but to Li Tianwei, it was far too slow.

After all, if he wanted to sustain an environment for fusion, he needed pressure and temperature comparable to those of a star.

So it had to be greater and stronger.

"Come on! Let me take it in first!"

Without hesitation, Li Tianwei began absorbing vast amounts of the so-called Immortal Qi between heaven and earth. Whether it had problems or not was not within Li Tianwei's consideration.

After his earlier probing absorption, Li Tianwei felt that his body had already become accustomed to this Immortal Qi, so it did not matter.

As for whether he had truly become accustomed to it, Li Tianwei thought so anyway. Could anyone possibly understand his body better than he did?

Outside, the Spiritual Dragon was guiding the Immortal Souls toward Li Tianwei to stop him. At this moment, it was already somewhat stunned.

"How did he dare?"

It watched as all the disorderly forces within the Taixu Forbidden Land surged toward Li Tianwei. They were filled with endless Evil Thoughts, along with the boundless filthy power left behind after the ancient battle between immortals and Evil Demons.

After fermenting through endless years, such things had already become something that could never be refined into power.

Yet what did the Spiritual Dragon see now? It saw a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator desperately converting them into his own body without end.

To Li Tianwei, the cultivation methods he had found, which used bursts of potential to refine the flesh, were merely another form of energy conversion.

Using Immortal Qi to convert and refine his flesh was actually perfectly normal—quite in line with the law of conservation of energy.

"Faster, faster."

As Li Tianwei changed, the energy that had already fused together because of him continued to stack up with destructive power inside it.

"It's over, it's over."

The Spiritual Dragon no longer cared what shocking things Li Tianwei was doing. No matter what, the fusion reaction he had triggered was the most dangerous thing now.

Both sides accelerated, while the distant Immortal Souls continued drawing closer.

They had already entered the Spiritual Dragon's field of vision, making it breathe a sigh of relief.

This situation was indeed somewhat unfavorable for Li Tianwei, because he had not constructed an environment within his body suitable for fusion.

It was simply too difficult. Refining the flesh until it possessed pressure and temperature like a star was already a transformation of matter itself.

But in Li Tianwei's eyes, it was simply a lack of energy. That was right—insufficient energy.

Although Immortal Qi contained more energy than the spiritual qi outside, there was still a problem. Perhaps because his realm was not high enough, the Immortal Qi he refined was especially chaotic. Though it was clearly a treasure, much of it was unusable.

In short, Li Tianwei believed that he still needed purer energy.

At this moment, the system within his consciousness warned him of danger.

Host, host, those Immortal Souls are here. Danger.

The system was extremely anxious, trying to wake Li Tianwei.

Hearing that voice, Li Tianwei immediately came to his senses. Bai Muxu had repeatedly warned him, and in Li Tianwei's eyes, Immortal Souls were also exceedingly dangerous things.

These were immortals!

In his mind, immortals were omnipotent beings.

A single drop of blood could create Sentient Beings. Just think about it—he was already so powerful in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so how much more powerful would immortals be?

So they still posed a threat to him.

At this moment, Li Tianwei realized that the system was still somewhat useful. At the very least, it could warn him of danger while he was immersed in cultivation.

Thus, Li Tianwei slowly opened his eyes.

What entered his sight was more than a dozen extremely strange phantom figures gathered ahead of him. Their bodies twisted as they continuously distorted their surroundings, seemingly utterly incompatible with the outside world.

The energy throughout their bodies was unimaginably pure.

That was right. In Li Tianwei's eyes, those so-called Immortal Souls ahead of him were simply too pure.

They were like a combination of the Immortal Qi in the Taixu Forbidden Land and the Near Dao Land in the Demon Sect's territory, multiplied by who knew how many times.

"According to Master, these Immortal Souls should not gather together, because they would fight whenever they drew close to one another."

"But why have they gathered together now?"

"And why at a time like this for me?"

All of a sudden, Li Tianwei seemed to connect the dots.
