As for Bai Muxu's plan, Li Tianwei could only say that Bai Muxu had underestimated him too much. Did he not have the ability to think independently?
Wasn't right and wrong something one could understand just by looking?
This was called a trial? This was called cultivation? Using something like this to test people—who wouldn't be able to withstand such a trial?
Li Tianwei sneered disdainfully.
"So! This cultivation method must be changed, and changed drastically."
Li Tianwei muttered as he had already begun writing.
Of course, Li Tianwei understood one thing. Since this cultivation method was called the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, it naturally could not stray from the theme of goodness.
Li Tianwei had a deep understanding of such goodness. He himself was a person of immense kindness.
Otherwise, why would Heaven and Earth bestow merit upon him and allow him to comprehend the Heavenly Eye of Perception? When it came to goodness, few could compare to him.
"So I only need to preserve my true nature."
"The central doctrine inside is also broadly wrong. If a ruler is not benevolent, I can replace him and recast a benevolent ruler..."
Li Tianwei muttered, his hands never stopping.
The entire Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture had already become almost unrecognizable. Still, the later methods and the power of the scripture itself had their redeeming points.
Those could be retained, but the methods were somewhat too conservative: indoctrination and purification.
"No, this is too one-dimensional."
Seeing the state of the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, Li Tianwei once again looked upon it with disdain.
Time passed second by second. Li Tianwei himself did not know how long he had spent revising the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture.
By the end, Li Tianwei was finally somewhat satisfied.
"The central doctrine should be this: if others treat me this way, are loyal to me, filial to me, kind to me, and good to me, then everyone is for me, and naturally, I too am for everyone."
"Excellent. This way, even wicked people can improve."
Li Tianwei muttered, then directly sat cross-legged and began cultivating this thoroughly improved Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture.
Closing his eyes, Li Tianwei cultivated according to the doctrine and content it advocated—except now, they were the doctrine and content advocated by Li Tianwei himself.
What was goodness? Naturally, it was: what you do not desire, do not impose upon others. Do not force onto others what you yourself dislike.
For example, I dislike bullying the weak and preying on the weak with strength. I cannot allow others to treat me that way either. Just like those demonic cultivators with their utterly vile temperaments, killing people as though butchering dogs and using others as expendable materials—if it were done to me, I could never become such a person, nor could I allow them to become such people. They had to be turned around.
"Wouldn't everyone then become wonderful?"
"No one would impose upon me the things I consider bad."
After thinking it through, Li Tianwei suddenly felt as though he had attained enlightenment, because this was simply too kind.
Thus, Li Tianwei directly composed himself and continued refining and improving the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture.
As he delved deeper, the things Li Tianwei thought of became more and more numerous.
"Right, and my foundation of the Dao."
"Wouldn't it be even better if I integrated it into my foundation of the Dao?"
"That way, even without using spiritual power or Resentment Force to drive it, the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture can operate at all times, continuously circulating, and can even manifest outwardly."
The more Li Tianwei thought, the more ideas he had, and he continued expanding upon them.
After all, Bai Muxu had specifically instructed him to do this, so Li Tianwei naturally had to make it as comprehensive and perfect as possible.
The more he thought, the more beautiful it seemed. Li Tianwei's thoughts merged into it.
Li Tianwei slowly shifted the original spiritual-power-driven form onto his foundation of the Dao.
Very soon, beside Li Tianwei's Spiritual Platform, the Three-Leaf Round Fan slowly began to move and turn.
Specks of starlight circled within it. Driven by his foundation of the Dao, faintly pure and immaculate auras surged forth, while a white lotus dais slowly emerged within.
As the lotus dais emerged, the Three-Leaf Round Fan's foundation of the Dao seemed to have been provoked. The Three-Leaf Round Fan's foundation of the Dao directly activated, turning without cease.
Before long, the Three-Leaf Round Fan's foundation of the Dao rushed straight toward the white lotus dais.
With a simple touch, the white lotus dais seemed to sense the breath of certain death and struggled desperately.
Unfortunately, it was already useless. Li Tianwei drove his foundation of the Dao to devour it completely.
This lotus dais belonged exclusively to the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture. A sign of successful cultivation was for a white lotus dais to grow upon one's Spiritual Platform. Once the lotus dais manifested, one's body would emit endless radiance, as if a True Immortal had descended into the world, naturally carrying a clear glow and an air of purity and immaculacy.
This was indeed as Bai Muxu had said: a Righteous Law resplendent and majestic. Naturally, that was merely its outward bearing.
But this thing was nothing more than chicken ribs. Li Tianwei did not want chicken ribs. Since he had it, he had to make use of it, integrate it into his foundation of the Dao, and directly radiate its power outward.
Let everyone properly experience what a Righteous Law resplendent and majestic was: selfless, solemn, and pure.
After integrating the lotus dais into the Three-Leaf Round Fan's foundation of the Dao, the foundation that had originally seemed ominous and carried an aura of destruction gained a faint trace of peace and stillness.
Li Tianwei was greatly satisfied upon seeing this, then continued cultivating more deeply.
Very soon, after Li Tianwei's constant revisions and additions, a faintly peaceful, tranquil, and pure aura burst forth from his body like the sun at its zenith.
Even Li Tianwei's face inexplicably took on a hint of pity for Sentient Beings. With his eyes closed and his gaze lowered, whoever saw him would not help but say, this was the truly resplendent righteous path.
Look at what an utterly pure and harmonious aura this was! It made people unconsciously feel close to him, while also wishing to throw themselves into it.
The Book Spirit, standing guard outside, also sensed the change in Li Tianwei—the aura of pure flawlessness, stainless and immaculate majesty.
At that moment, the Book Spirit only wanted to say that even immortal practitioners of righteous methods could be no more than this. What an utterly pure existence, stainless and immaculate, so wonderful, so wonderful...
At that moment, the Book Spirit had not even noticed that, as the spirit of an immortal art, he had been influenced without realizing it.
"Throw yourself into me. Supreme majesty—I am the righteous path, and I shall wash away your worldly dust."
The Book Spirit could feel a voice endlessly echoing in the depths of his consciousness.
A desire to throw himself into it arose in his heart, as though Li Tianwei himself was correctness incarnate.
At that moment, the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture was precisely as Li Tianwei had revised it: pure enough, good enough.
Radiating to all Sentient Beings, all shall belong to me; pure goodness fulfills one's own desires.
Feeling the pure aura flowing through his body, as well as the goodwill and stainless bearing constantly radiating from him.
Li Tianwei felt that this thing was simply excellent. It suited him far too well. Look at this stainless, immortal-like true bearing.
Paired with his foundation of the Dao and Spiritual Platform, he could absolutely be kind to others.
"Everyone, contribute a little beauty. This is wonderful."
