After learning from Bai Muxu that there was a problem with his spell arts, Ling Tianwei naturally had to deal with it.
When Bai Muxu had asked about it earlier, Ling Tianwei had truly felt as if he were back in reality—like when a teacher called on him in class and he could give the answer, while how to prove the process was someone else's business.
All he could say was that he was too smart. Pity he had been born too late; Newton came before him, Einstein after him.
Ling Tianwei sighed inwardly, then summoned the Book Spirit once more.
Since he wanted to construct spell arts that belonged to him, the Book Spirit could undoubtedly offer him some advice.
As an immortal art, the Book Spirit possessed some unique insights into spell arts and cultivation methods.
"Master."
After emerging from the storage ring, the Book Spirit cautiously poked its head out to investigate.
After all, it had sensed dense Evil Qi just moments ago, the feeling of an Evil Demon descending into the world, as though it had returned to the days tens of thousands of years ago when it fought Evil Demons alongside the Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable.
Yet when it saw Ling Tianwei, the Book Spirit fell silent. As an immortal art created by an immortal, although it possessed little power, Bai Muxu's concealment methods and the Divine Concealment Breath Technique could not fool it.
"How is that possible? You comprehended more again? Why do you have two more Dao Intentions now?"
Sensing the four Dao Intentions on Ling Tianwei's body, the Book Spirit was already dazed.
It clearly remembered that even the Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable had only achieved this upon ascending and becoming an immortal. Otherwise, he would not have created the Five Intentions Condensing Heaven Art.
Now Ling Tianwei had comprehended four. As long as he comprehended one more, he would be just like the Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable.
At this moment, the Book Spirit had begun to doubt its previous understanding of Ling Tianwei.
"Could he truly possess a Five-Colored Heavenly Spirit Root?"
It recalled the sight of Ling Tianwei manifesting that dim, lusterless spirit root covered in mottled spots.
Ling Tianwei did not think much of the Book Spirit's doubts and shock. Wasn't it perfectly normal for others to have five intentions while he had three thousand? There were gaps between people, just like the gap between him and everyone else.
Unfortunately, Ling Tianwei had truly encountered very few people capable of recognizing that he was a genius.
Still, that did not matter. Ling Tianwei felt it was enough for him to know. He would not go around boasting about it either.
As for the system, it had already rolled its eyes in secret.
"Book Spirit, tell me about the structure and framework behind constructing spell arts in your immortal art."
Ling Tianwei asked directly after summoning the Book Spirit.
"Ah!"
The Book Spirit had only just barely recovered from its shock over Ling Tianwei comprehending four Dao Intentions.
"The structure of spell arts?"
"In the Five Intentions Condensing Heaven Art, the Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable used his five intentions as the framework, constructing them according to the sources of those five intentions."
"If you wish to create spell arts suited to yourself, it would be better to build them along the Dao Intentions you have comprehended."
The Book Spirit explained the situation.
"I wonder what Dao Intentions Master has comprehended?"
Because of the talent Ling Tianwei had displayed, the Book Spirit no longer held the disdain it once had for him. It had even begun to flatter him.
"Death, resentment, killing, evil."
Ling Tianwei calmly stated the Dao Intentions he had comprehended.
"What?"
Upon hearing those Dao Intentions, the Book Spirit froze, unable to believe it, as though something had gone wrong with its ears.
"Is there a problem?"
Ling Tianwei naturally noticed the issue in the Book Spirit's tone.
"No, no, no problem."
Click to view.
Hearing this, the Book Spirit immediately became flustered.
Anyone who ran into a cultivator who had comprehended such wicked, unorthodox Dao Intentions would probably react this way!
"However, Master, if you construct them, you must pay attention to the restraining relationships between spell arts. This has a great impact."
The Book Spirit completely cast aside its emotions. Death! Resentment! Evil! Whatever. It had no choice, and Ling Tianwei still looked as though he had not realized there was a problem.
After speaking, the Book Spirit carefully observed Ling Tianwei's expression and saw that he remained calm.
The Book Spirit also understood that saying this seemed to be useless.
Thinking of Ling Tianwei's previous cultivation methods, none of them were things a normal person would do.
As for Ling Tianwei, he already had an idea. Any spell-art framework or structure was irrelevant now.
Constructing spell arts along Dao Intentions seemed small-minded to Ling Tianwei. Too small-minded.
"I have a Divine Ability now. Since that's the case, I'll start with this Divine Ability!"
With that thought, Ling Tianwei immediately instructed the Book Spirit.
"Introduce me to the various spell arts in the immortal art."
Then Ling Tianwei took out the Compendium of Spell Arts Bai Muxu had given him.
"Mm, understood, Master."
The Book Spirit immediately agreed.
"Prison Heaven? Let me see the Divine Ability I found from heaven and earth!"
With that thought, Ling Tianwei sat down cross-legged and began sensing the Divine Ability deep within his consciousness.
The moment he came into contact with Prison Heaven, everything about this Divine Ability entered his consciousness.
A massive flood of information surged in, far more than the Five Intentions Condensing Heaven Art or any other miscellaneous knowledge.
True to its name, Prison Heaven possessed the power to imprison heaven. Once this Divine Ability was activated, it could suppress and seal off an area, then use power capable of imprisoning heaven and earth to grind that entire region into nothingness.
It could use the power of Prison Heaven to erase living beings, or anything else one wished to destroy. The might of Prison Heaven was clear to see.
However, Ling Tianwei was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he wanted to unleash its full power, he would need to become an immortal.
Of course, Ling Tianwei did not think that limitation could restrain him.
First, Ling Tianwei had the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body, which allowed him to use all sorts of secret arts that explosively raised his cultivation. Then he could use the Vengeful Curse to connect with heaven and earth and unleash hundreds of times more power.
With the two stacked together, it was obvious that this far surpassed the strength of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
The Prison Heaven Divine Ability already revealed everything about itself to him, so Ling Tianwei only needed to construct something along those lines.
"Prison Heaven, Prison Heaven?"
"Hahaha, I've got it—pressure with the power of heaven and earth, seal and cut off?"
In an instant, Ling Tianwei had an idea. He immediately began flipping through the Compendium of Spell Arts while listening to the Book Spirit explain the various spell arts within the Five Intentions Condensing Heaven Art.
Multitasking like this was effortless for Ling Tianwei. Back before an exam, he had studied Chinese while reading mathematics at the same time, learned it all in an hour, and scored full marks. This was even simpler.
Meanwhile, the Book Spirit watched Ling Tianwei research while scribbling and drawing in the book.
The Book Spirit could not help but focus on those words.
Upon seeing them, it was stunned.
Densely packed numbers, along with all kinds of bizarre spell arts—yes, bizarre spell arts.
Things like the Vengeful Soul Method, Gather Resentment Technique, Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Method, Solidify Origin Technique...
The Book Spirit even saw several dual-cultivation methods among them, and Ling Tianwei had added several righteous arts for Suppressing Evil and Exterminating Demons among those extremely poisonous and extremely yin spell arts.
It was bizarre to the extreme. The Book Spirit could hardly imagine that such a collection of spell arts could truly be constructed.
Seeing this, the Book Spirit understood that Ling Tianwei had not taken the restraining relationships it mentioned earlier to heart at all.
