All Are Important

The dazzlingly multicolored, immaculate Immortal Souls before his eyes had finally found their release.

After Li Tianwei had thoroughly washed away their stray thoughts and every trace of filth, they flickered a few times before gradually dispersing, turning into specks of starlight that filled the sky, ultimately vanishing as they returned to heaven and earth.

As for the reason! The transcendent stray thoughts of immortals and the contamination of evil demons had all been contained within Li Tianwei's broad, all-embracing heart. How could the remaining energy, pure to the utmost extreme, not return to heaven and earth?

Watching this scene, Li Tianwei nodded. In his eyes, was this not salvation?

"Since that's the case, I'll strike while the iron is hot and thoroughly save the other Immortal Souls in the Taixu Forbidden Land as well!"

"Hundred Intentions approach; the Golden Core shall be attained."

Thinking this, Li Tianwei raised his hand, and dozens of Dao Intentions swirled before him.

He then looked toward the area behind him where he had been constructing the fusion state. Purple light appeared in his eyes, and with a sweep of his sleeve, the fusion states filling the sky immediately came to a halt.

Having comprehended more Dao Intentions, Li Tianwei had gained a deeper understanding of his control over heaven and earth, as well as his own existence.

"Return."

Li Tianwei uttered a command.

Under Li Tianwei's control, the energy within the fusion region instantly surged toward him.

He then absorbed it into himself. At this moment, Li Tianwei had already formed a rough plan for fusion qi drawing and breaking through to the Golden Core.

But before that, the Hundred Intentions still needed to condense.

With a wave of his hand, Li Tianwei summoned the Sacred Soul Banner.

After being refined through the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, nourished through its connection to Heaven and Earth Grudge Power, and tempered by the ceaseless torment of an entire city's demonic cultivator souls within it—

No one knew what level the Sacred Soul Banner had evolved to.

With a gesture, Li Tianwei chose without hesitation to use the Sacred Soul Banner to absorb the Immortal Qi within the Taixu Forbidden Land.

In Li Tianwei's eyes, this Immortal Qi could still be used in the future. It was far more abundant than the energy of the Lingxu Sacred Land or the Demonic Sect Land.

So he would store as much as he could; it would surely come in handy someday.

Thus, shrouded from head to toe in sacred demonic aura and holding the soul banner glowing with a dark green light, Li Tianwei continuously made his way toward the center of the Taixu Forbidden Land.

After Li Tianwei gathered the energy from the ever-fusing region, the Spiritual Dragon watched his banner-bearing figure depart and only then slowly retreated.

"At least he's stopped causing trouble."

Though it did not know why Li Tianwei had left, at the very least, the crisis he had nearly caused earlier had already vanished.

Rumble...

Whoosh...

As Li Tianwei traveled onward, he constantly drove the Sacred Soul Banner to thoroughly absorb the energy of the Taixu Forbidden Land.

Because the Immortal Souls had previously moved out en masse, the Immortal Souls Bai Muxu had warned Li Tianwei to be wary of in every direction were nowhere to be found.

Li Tianwei could only search everywhere for Immortal Souls, save them, and gather the comprehension needed for the Hundred Intentions.

Li Tianwei had not expected things to turn out like this, but it was also because the Immortal Souls had been affected by the evil demons.

"Fortunately, I know the Immortal Souls' circumstances. I know they came for good."

"I definitely won't let you down."

At this thought, Li Tianwei's spirits rose once more. Seizing the time, he saved several more Immortal Souls and incidentally comprehended several more Dao Intentions.

Time passed, second by second. Li Tianwei did not know how long he had wandered through the Taixu Sacred Land, but he had already saved fifty or sixty Immortal Souls.

At the same time, Li Tianwei's Dao Intentions had reached one hundred.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead—perhaps it was simply renamed!

"Finally, finally, they're complete."

"Kill, death, evil, grudge, rage, annihilation, extinction... joy, happiness, purity, earth... Five Elements, Five Transformations."

"The Hundred Intentions are complete. It is time to step into the Golden Core Realm."

Li Tianwei slowly came to a stop in midair and closed his eyes.

A hundred Dao Intentions circled around him as boundless Dao rhymes converged.

At the same time, the disorderly energy within the Taixu Forbidden Land began streaming toward Li Tianwei.

"Fusion begins."

Li Tianwei once again released the power he had previously been on the verge of fully fusing. In an instant, the world-overturning phenomenon within the Taixu Forbidden Land reappeared.

This time, bolstered by the Hundred Intentions, he possessed complete control over his command of power and the transformation of his body.

In order to create an environment within himself capable of containing fusion, Li Tianwei had already found the right place.

That place was the Golden Core. Li Tianwei intended to construct the fusion environment atop his Golden Core. Before, he had considered using his body to withstand it head-on.

But Li Tianwei felt there was no need. His body was so large already, and he still had even greater things to accomplish, so it could not be wasted.

"Fusion Golden Core."

Li Tianwei had already planned out the road ahead.

Li Tianwei acted the moment he thought of it, never delaying. Besides, he had fulfilled every demand he had set for himself—condensing a hundred kinds of Dao intent before reaching the Golden Core Realm.

"Come! Immortal Qi of the Taixu Forbidden Land, help me break through!"

Li Tianwei directly opened every aperture in his body, unhesitatingly drawing all the energy of the Taixu Forbidden Land into himself.

In an instant, the chaotic energy within the Taixu Forbidden Land surged toward Li Tianwei like a reversing torrent.

At the same time, Li Tianwei controlled that chaotic energy, causing it to undergo fusion.

Li Tianwei also began condensing his essence, qi, and spirit. According to Bai Muxu, a Golden Core was formed by uniting essence, qi, and spirit. Depending on one's foundations, learning, insights, and talent, one would condense a different Golden Core.

If the foundation and groundwork for one's Golden Core transformation were sound, one could connect with heaven and earth and receive an indescribable summons, allowing one's Golden Core to find a road no one had ever walked.

Such a road would make one's Golden Core unlike anyone else's. After all, you were the first upon this path, and this position was yours. Unless you fell, on this Golden Core path, you would always be stronger than others.

That was why Bai Muxu had been able to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator while in the Golden Core Realm—he had walked a path that belonged to him alone.

In truth, there were now countless paths of the Golden Core.

But in the past, most people had been unable to forge paths of their own. They could only follow the Dao paths walked by those prodigies who had comprehended the way of the Golden Core.

As a result, they had to bow beneath those prodigies.

Yet as generation after generation of prodigies either ascended or perished, Golden Core paths became as numerous as the hairs of an ox.

Aside from certain remote mountain nooks that still carried on this practice, most factions held several Golden Core paths that no one had ever cultivated.

As for why there were so many vacant Golden Core paths, and why so many such paths continued to spread rather than being completely sealed off, that was rather strange as well.

But even these vacant Golden Core paths still could not compare to a road pioneered by a cultivator alone.

Thus, for the position attained by a self-created Golden Core path, the Cultivation World borrowed a Buddhist term and called it the Fruit of Enlightenment.

To many people, the Golden Core was extremely important.

Li Tianwei was utterly disdainful of that. What stage wasn't important?

During Foundation Establishment, they said Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days was important. At the Golden Core Realm, they said proving one's own Fruit of Enlightenment was important. At the Nascent Soul Realm, they said Dao patterns were important. And Spirit Transformation?

It was just like saying first grade was important, second grade was even more important, the first year of middle school was important... being sixty years old was important too... and where you were buried after death, so it could benefit your descendants, was terribly important.
