Soul Mentor Immortal Li

Chapter 9: Soul Mentor Immortal Li

"Cult Leader, what are your orders?"

Some Moon-Worshipping Cult members noticed the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's unusual behavior and asked nervously.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader did not answer. He merely furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

He was considering whether he had truly done something wrong!

Yet those involved could not see clearly. After pondering for a long while, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader still could not understand where he had gone wrong. He fell silent for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up.

That was it. That person would surely be able to give him an answer.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "@Immortal Li, you can see through the past, present, and future. In your view, was I wrong?"

Li Hao raised a brow and fell into thought.

He did not know the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's current state, but he was at least somewhat familiar with the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader from the television drama.

Simply put, he was a child starved of love, a burly man with a little princess living in his heart.

Just as he had said to his adoptive father when he was young: "I only want to hear someone say they love me."

After pondering for a moment, Li Hao had already made up his mind.

Immortal Li: "There is nothing wrong with your ideals, but there is a problem with your methods. Do you remember what I once told you? You should have become a revered sage, a great wise man whose name would endure through the ages, rather than a pitiful creature killed by the Child of Destiny—no, one who should have died by his own hand."

Upon hearing this, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader fell silent, though his curiosity also grew.

A sage!

Himself?

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Please enlighten me, Immortal."

Immortal Li: "You wish to create a perfect world, an ideal land where everyone can feel love. There is nothing wrong with that.

It is a great idea, and a worthy philosophy.

Just as a thinker named Marx once proposed the concept of communism. There was also a man named Mozi, who proposed the principle of universal love and non-aggression. There are countless such people throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, too many to measure.

Both of them became sages. Even though their ideas were never fully put into practice, their names still endured throughout the ages, and they were worshipped by billions of living beings. Do you know why?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader became even more interested.

He was far too lonely, because no one understood him, and no one cared about his thoughts.

Now that he had learned there were countless great beings throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds who shared his ideals and had become sages, he could not help feeling as though he had found a path for his future.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "May I ask, Immortal, what is communism? And what is the principle of universal love and non-aggression?"

Immortal Li uploaded Mozi and Marxism.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader retrieved Mozi and Marxism.

A vast amount of knowledge and viewpoints flooded into his mind. Relying on his extraordinarily profound cultivation and immensely powerful primordial spirit, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader quickly skimmed through the two works.

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "They are very interesting ideas. Although much of it is not applicable to this world, I have still benefited greatly. In particular, Marxism's discussion of social classes and the struggle between classes has given me much to consider.

Some of its ideas coincide with my own. It is only a pity that I cannot meet this Mr. Ma in person."

Li Hao's face twitched violently!

Damn, mighty Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, had he found common ground with Senior Marx?

And he even wanted to meet Marx!?

Li Hao was utterly speechless, not even knowing where to begin criticizing.

There were simply too many things to mock—so many that he could barely keep up.

Immortal Li: "Perhaps there will be an opportunity in the future. For now, let us discuss your problem. There is nothing wrong with your ideals, but your methods are too extreme—you wish to destroy the world and reshape the land.

Setting aside whether you even have the ability to destroy the world, would immortals, gods, demons, devils, and even the cultivators of your world simply watch as you destroy it? Even if you could destroy the world and restart heaven and earth, are you certain that the beings of the new world could create the ideal world you envision?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader fell into thought.

He had never considered things so far ahead.

Now that Li Hao had suddenly raised this issue, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader could not help but begin doubting himself.

Even if he succeeded in destroying the world, could the beings of the future truly create the ideal land he envisioned?

Immortal Li: "Furthermore, your vision is too narrow. You have never truly looked upon the whole world. Since you possess considerable strength, why confine yourself to a single corner? Compared to the whole world, Nanzhao is merely an insignificant little place. With your strength, you could venture into a far broader world."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader remained silent.

Immortal Li: "Also, do you remember that I said you had a chance to become a sage—a sage whose name would endure throughout the ages?"

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader suddenly snapped out of his silence, his heart greatly stirred.

This was not the first time Li Hao had said this, yet Li Hao had never explained why.

Immortal Li: "In the future, you will discover that the world you live in is round, similar to an orange."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "What? Such a thing exists!?"

Immortal Li: "Do you remember the young man who took Zhao Ling'er away?"

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "I remember. He took Zhao Ling'er aboard Phoenix and headed west. I had other important matters to attend to at the time, so I did not deliberately pursue them."

Immortal Li: "Zhao Ling'er is now on Immortal Spirit Island, a small island east of Yuhang. Back then, that young man took her all the way west, thinking he had changed the future, never realizing that he would ultimately return to the starting point."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader froze for a moment, then came to a realization.

They had gone all the way west, yet Immortal Spirit Island lay east of Yuhang—clearly east of Nanzhao!

Could this world truly be round?

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "This matter is truly wondrous. Please wait a few days, Immortal Li. I, Baiyue, shall go prove that the earth is round."

Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader has logged off!

Li Hao could not help rolling his eyes.

This guy was way too impatient, wasn't he?

As for how the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader intended to prove it, Li Hao already had some guesses. He would either go to Immortal Spirit Island and ask about it, or experience it for himself.

But based on Li Hao's understanding of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, the latter was more likely.

As for whether the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader would immediately make a move against Zhao Ling'er after confirming that the world was a sphere, and what the future protagonist Li Xiaoyao would do afterward, Li Hao said it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Couldn't they see that he was doing what only a future protagonist would do—busy saving the world?

As for the great navigator Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader?

Li Hao could not help wanting to laugh at the thought.

Did this count as changing the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's future?

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Th-then, did the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader really go confirm whether the world is a sphere? But then again, how does he plan to prove it?"

Immortal Li: "How else? He just needs to fly around the world once. If he flies in one direction and eventually returns to where he started, wouldn't that prove the world is a sphere?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to react for quite some time.

Around the world!

How many years would that take? Forget it, he was flying around it!!?

It seemed no one here could fly, right?

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Flying around the world once? That's way too badass!!!"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Forget it, I kneel before Boss Baiyue. Can't afford to offend him!"

Li Xunhuan: "Forget it, I kneel before Boss Baiyue. Can't afford to offend him!"

Little Dragon Maiden: "Forget it, I kneel before Boss Baiyue. Can't afford to offend him!"

Little Yan Lingji: "Forget it, I kneel before Brother Baiyue. Can't afford to offend him!"
