What He Did Best Was Solve the One Who Raised the Problem

With that thought in mind, Li Tianwei naturally turned his poisonous hand toward spiritual qi.

Compared to solving the problem of spirit roots, Li Tianwei felt it would be better to be thorough—solve the problem itself, along with the existence that had raised the problem of needing spirit roots to absorb spiritual qi.

Thus, everything pointed toward spiritual qi.

And so, in Li Tianwei's hands, those dazzling, multicolored spirit roots were reassembled.

Before long, Li Tianwei directly drew in spiritual qi. It was still that familiar feeling, that familiar taste.

He could sense the existence of spiritual qi, but unfortunately, it had no sense of what was good for it and offered no response.

Li Tianwei had once directly used the Fission Qi Gathering Method, then later fused spiritual qi together, producing and consuming it himself.

Now, seeing spiritual qi remain unmoved by his Five-Colored Heavenly Spirit Root, Li Tianwei only wanted to say, "It seems studying the laws and functions of spirit roots is pointless. The problem lies with spiritual qi itself."

"You really have no sense of what is good for you. I'm a Heavenly Spirit Root too! Yet you still act like this."

Li Tianwei's expression darkened slightly.

Unfortunately, spiritual qi was ultimately just spiritual qi. It possessed no consciousness and knew nothing of danger.

One could say that spiritual qi was the least likely thing in the world to encounter danger.

Even if the entire Cultivation World were occupied by Evil Demons, spiritual qi would still exist as long as that power remained. Even if the world collapsed, it would merely disperse elsewhere.

So where could any danger possibly come from?

But Li Tianwei was best at dealing with problems. Spiritual qi was an easy problem to handle. Thinking of how it had previously failed to appreciate his goodwill, Li Tianwei had directly used the Fission Qi Gathering Method and blown it straight into his own body.

Now, if he wanted to thoroughly connect the Spirit Net, he would undoubtedly have to solve this problem once more from another angle.

"Come! Let me see what the root of spiritual qi truly is."

Spiritual qi might not obey him, but it could not stop Li Tianwei's terrifying current strength.

Because Li Tianwei had drawn spiritual qi into himself and continuously fused it, his body had long since been thoroughly eroded and occupied by spiritual qi.

However, the spiritual qi within him belonged exclusively to Li Tianwei. It had already been transformed into spiritual power.

Beyond that, his dharma manifestation, the extensions of his consciousness, and his divine sense all contained spiritual power.

It could be said that spiritual qi was an utterly material thing. It could flow, influence one another, and exert effects.

Very quickly, Li Tianwei directly erupted with his spiritual power.

Boom...

"Go! I want to sense the root of spiritual qi."

"Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, merge with me!"

"I will bring Good Thoughts to you spiritual qi."

Li Tianwei muttered, supreme radiance emanating from his entire body.

The power of the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture—radiating across Sentient Beings, bringing all beneath his domain—spread continuously, sprawling outward like a plague.

Specks of spiritual qi were constantly influenced and brought under Li Tianwei's control.

Li Tianwei could even feel as though his consciousness had become every tentacle of heaven and earth, continuously eroding every region.

"The spirit beast garden has already been dealt with."

"Yincang Sacred Land is truly detestable. They actually used people to grow spirit herbs. I even found several corpses of mothers and children."

"Leader Li is growing more powerful by the day."

"..."

As Li Tianwei eroded the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, countless voices from within Yincang Sacred Land continuously entered his ears.

At this moment, spiritual qi seemed to have become Li Tianwei's eyes and ears as well.

And this was merely the beginning. Li Tianwei intended to find the root of spiritual qi completely.

Only then could everyone cultivate immortality and come into contact with the existence known as spiritual qi.

With the power of the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, coupled with fifteen hundred Intentions, endless radiating power continuously invaded spiritual qi. With so many powers combined, just how deeply could they penetrate it?

The spiritual qi of heaven and earth—what a vast existence that sounded like.

Li Tianwei continued eroding it while the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture erupted without pause.

Yet to spiritual qi, Li Tianwei was still far too insignificant. The area under his control was merely an exceedingly tiny fraction.

But for Li Tianwei, the spiritual qi he continuously drew in was being endlessly arranged within his mind.

"Metal-attributed spiritual qi—sharpness, keenness..."

"Water-attributed—embracing all things..."

"Earth—heavy and substantial..."

"This spiritual qi's color and luster are ordinary."

Li Tianwei sorted them all out, using his mind, now terrifying to the extreme, to classify every speck of spiritual qi and compile their individual characteristics.

And this was only the first step. Li Tianwei still needed to continue observing.

Li Tianwei continuously organized and studied innumerable sets of data.

He even occasionally used the Fission Qi Gathering Method to fuse and connect them, attempting to shatter the stable form of the Spirit Net they had established.

Unfortunately, how could the innate rank of spiritual qi, along with the system it had constructed to connect everything, be so easily broken?

To break it, he would undoubtedly have to fight the spiritual qi of the entire Cultivation World with his own strength alone.

Li Tianwei truly was powerful—so powerful that even tribulation transcendence and Fallen Immortals could not hinder him in the slightest.

But when facing spiritual qi, the very foundation of all cultivation in the Cultivation World, Li Tianwei became extraordinarily small.

It could be said that even immortals, or beings of even higher realms, would find it difficult to touch even a fraction of it.

How could Li Tianwei not know that spiritual qi was so powerful?

In his eyes, all things had a way to be broken, and spiritual qi was no exception. It seemed powerful, but as long as one point was shattered, it would collapse the instant it was touched, like a row of dominoes.

"Spiritual qi!"

"You are far more troublesome than I expected. If this is all you are..."

"All things have their limits."

Li Tianwei muttered, and in an instant, the aura around him rose once more.

The power of the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture seeped out completely. Any spiritual qi it touched swiftly changed sides, becoming part of Li Tianwei.

No one knew how much time passed. The sun rose and set.

The matter of Lingxu Sacred Land occupying the three great sacred lands had spread throughout the Northern Spirit Domain for several months.

The elders and disciples of Lingxu Sacred Land had already settled into various places across the Northern Spirit Domain.

Following the tasks Li Tianwei had arranged earlier, they constructed teleportation arrays in every region.

Having plundered the resources of the three great sacred lands, they had more than enough and did not fear expenditure.

At the same time, the evil souls commanded by Li Tianwei had already become renowned throughout the Northern Spirit Domain.

After all, Li Tianwei's assigned task was to spread teachings and impart knowledge, which meant they were bound to clash with another system of oppression beyond the cultivators.

That was the great Aristocratic Clans that controlled literacy in every region. How could they possibly watch those mud-legged commoners learn to read?

Because of Li Tianwei's evil souls, even major sects were wiped out at a word, let alone Aristocratic Clans and powerful households in the mortal world.

Several nations had even been destroyed.
