As he watched the Immortal Souls appear at the far end of his vision, countless doubts first flashed through Ling Tianwei's mind, but he quickly came to understand.
These Immortal Souls, which should never have gathered together, had unexpectedly converged now. Everything contradicted the rules Bai Muxu had previously described.
Thinking about it, Bai Muxu was an elder and peak master of the Lingxu Sacred Land. His master had absolutely no reason to deceive him.
So! Something must have happened in the Taixu Forbidden Land—some problem had arisen, causing this situation.
And what exactly was that problem? Ling Tianwei did not need to think too hard. It was likely caused by his appearance.
After all, it was perfectly reasonable for a protagonist like him to stir up waves after appearing in the Taixu Forbidden Land.
And these Immortal Souls could surge toward him in a tide, carrying such pure energy. Clearly, they had come to help him.
Yet faced with such assistance, Ling Tianwei stopped, because he understood the situation of these Immortal Souls before him.
They were Immortal Souls! Anything bearing the word "immortal" was bound to possess supreme might.
The entire Taixu Forbidden Land had remained unchanged for ten thousand years, yet now it had changed.
Bai Muxu's words were not wrong, but Bai Muxu did not understand immortals!
Thus, the reason these immortals could appear here and charge toward him was because they were immortals.
In Ling Tianwei's eyes, all who could become immortals possessed immense fortune and were people of great goodness. Only such people, after experiencing the mortal world's dust and smoke, could possibly become immortals.
Now that they had become Immortal Souls, they must still retain the Good Thoughts buried deep within their consciousness.
"That's right, these Immortal Souls must have come for goodness."
"Now that this world has fallen into the clutches of evil demons, these Immortal Souls are imprisoned here and cannot break free. They know what is happening outside, yet are powerless to act. They can only use their own strength to let those who enter the Taixu Forbidden Land comprehend their Dao intent and Divine Abilities, giving off their remaining warmth to fight the evil demons."
"It must be so."
Thinking of this, Ling Tianwei could not help but tear up as he looked at these Immortal Souls, deeply moved.
In Ling Tianwei's view, if he became an immortal and encountered such an accident, he would probably do the same—after death, offer up what little remaining warmth he had for all living beings once more, performing acts of great goodness. Even if his body were utterly destroyed, his remaining thoughts would surely persist in upholding this Dao with unwavering resolve.
Therefore, these Immortal Souls must be the same, ferrying others across with themselves.
They had come now because they had discovered his situation and intended to offer up their own pure power, helping him overcome this trial and complete the transformation from fission to fusion.
Faced with this situation, after understanding the intentions of these Immortal Souls, Ling Tianwei declared that this was absolutely unacceptable.
If the predecessors had come this far, then we later generations must have done poorly. How could we continue borrowing their lingering might?
Ling Tianwei could not accept such an intention, though he could accept that the Immortal Souls possessed such thoughts.
It would be enough if they used such actions to spur him onward, but they could not offer themselves to him.
Thinking further of how the Cultivation World outside was suffering an invasion by evil demons, while those of the demonic path employed endless bloody methods, base and shameless, and even the Baiyuan Sacred Land, which called itself a righteous sacred land, had sunk into struggles for power—
Yet the immortals who had once dwelled within this Taixu Forbidden Land thought at every moment about how they could help the countless living beings of the Cultivation World.
Therefore, in Ling Tianwei's view, he absolutely had to refuse these Immortal Souls' plan of selfless contribution. It was the most basic principle of being human.
They had already done what they were supposed to do. It was now the business of those who came after them. How could they continue borrowing their strength?
Ling Tianwei considered himself unmatched beneath heaven, but he believed that anyone with justice in their heart, righteous qi in their body, and a supreme orthodox cultivation method would not accept such a gift.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
And even without this gift, could it be that I, Li Tianwei, would be unable to complete this transformation from fission to fusion? Li Tianwei had absolute confidence.
The system had originally been warning him that an Immortal Soul crisis was descending, that an immense danger lay before him. But after Li Tianwei's wild chain of thoughts, where was any tension or sense of danger left?
And these Immortal Souls were filled with distracting thoughts, composed of all kinds of chaotic power. Which eye of yours saw that they had come to offer you a gift?
Setting everything else aside, had you really not noticed that your ceaseless fusion was already heading in an uncontrollable direction?
As a system composed of data, after its meticulous calculations, it dared guarantee that if Li Tianwei continued this endless fusion, combined with the chaotic forces inside the Taixu Forbidden Land, he would definitely turn the entire Taixu Forbidden Land into a true forbidden land, endlessly fusing and destroying itself at every moment.
Naturally, Li Tianwei had no idea what the system was thinking at this moment. Even if he did, he would probably reply, "Your calculations are wrong. You forgot to account for me."
After understanding the intentions of these Immortal Souls, Li Tianwei revealed a sorrowful expression and let out a long sigh for these Immortal Souls who had given everything.
"I will not accept your gift."
Having said that, Li Tianwei had already made his decision. Compared to accepting their gift, he believed it would be best to deliver these Immortal Souls and return them to heaven and earth.
With that thought, Li Tianwei activated the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture without hesitation.
At this moment, Li Tianwei seemed to understand something. Perhaps Bai Muxu had also intended this when he told him to cultivate this method.
"Worthy of being the master I acknowledged."
After his sigh, Li Tianwei no longer concealed his aura. It howled forth in a straight line, shooting directly into the heavens.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Solemn, pure, immaculate, stainless radiance surged forth behind Li Tianwei.
A halo appeared behind his head, while the mark of the Three-Leaf Round Fan emerged between his brows. Li Tianwei's eyes lowered slightly, revealing a trace of solemnity and compassion. His entire figure seemed to possess a supreme and towering grandeur.
The radiance he emitted spread slowly, carrying a sense of utmost holiness.
No one could explain this feeling. It had reached the pinnacle of sanctity, as if it could wash away everything.
At this moment, the Spiritual Dragon that had just guided the Immortal Souls to launch a surprise attack on Li Tianwei merely watched Li Tianwei rise, ponder for a moment, and wear an expression as though he had suddenly understood something. Then Li Tianwei began speaking words the Spiritual Dragon could not comprehend.
What followed was a terrifyingly surging holy intent, carrying an aura of utmost goodness and utmost yin that crashed toward it head-on.
Having slept for too long, the Spiritual Dragon had lost much of its power. Now, faced with this sudden change, it felt an inexplicable terror. When it saw Li Tianwei's transformation and the aura shining from between his brows—
The Spiritual Dragon actually felt an urge to throw itself into him.
"What is happening to me? What method did this guy use?"
The Spiritual Dragon's body floated in midair, swaying lightly. From Li Tianwei, it sensed the feeling of an absolute nemesis.
It made the Spiritual Dragon want to leave, to drift away.
"No, what kind of power is this? How could it make me feel this way?"
The Spiritual Dragon looked at the mark between Li Tianwei's brows, at that faint, intangible power seeping forth.
This was a power the Spiritual Dragon had never sensed or understood before.
