Chapter 193: I Knew This Guy Holds Grudges
“Everyone, regarding the matter of the Purple Profound Mansion, I believe you have all read the materials I provided.”
“The territory under the control of the Sacred Land of Lingxu was vast. When I returned from the Purple Profound Mansion to the Sacred Land of Lingxu, along the way I also saw many regions similar to the Purple Profound Mansion.”
“Those stationed guards we arranged across various regions—their actions were no different from demonic cultivators.”
Li Tianwei faced the gazes of everyone in the grand hall and spoke.
His clear voice echoed throughout the grand hall.
The tragic state of the Purple Profound Mansion had already been projected by Li Tianwei earlier using soul projection. Nearly everyone present in the grand hall had seen it.
More importantly, after resolving those Union Realm Ancestors, Li Tianwei also understood why the stationed guards there had been so reckless and completely unafraid of an investigation by the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
The main reason was that the Purple Profound Mansion was territory belonging to the ancestor Su Qianhe.
Most of the various resources produced within the Purple Profound Mansion flowed into his hands. As long as the submitted resources were sufficient, unless Su Qianhe personally took action, the Sacred Land of Lingxu found it difficult to hold anyone accountable.
There were many territories like this. It could be said that the so-called righteous path proclaid by the Sacred Land of Lingxu was nothing more than a slogan.
“So from now on, the Sacred Land of Lingxu must change completely. Things like this must never happen again.”
“Moreover, we will establish teleportation arrays and spirit vessels in all regions under the Sacred Land of Lingxu’s governance, ensuring that the Sacred Land can supervise the stationed guards in every region at all tis.”
“Additionally, in the future, when testing spiritual roots, anyone with a spiritual root—regardless of aptitude—may be accepted into the sect, even if it is a False Spiritual Root.”
Li Tianwei fully laid out his plans.
Especially when he spoke of aptitude at the end, Li Tianwei deliberately emphasized his words.
After hearing Li Tianwei’s words, the disciples looked at one another, feeling that this proposal was extrely inappropriate.
“First Seat Li, if this is done, the Sacred Land will not have enough resources to support their cultivation.”
At this mont, an elder raised his hand and spoke.
So disciples, seeing that this elder dared to question Li Tianwei so directly, revealed a trace of hostility in their eyes. Sensing those gazes, the elder felt nothing unusual.
Having listened to Li Tianwei’s teachings, he understood very well that Li Tianwei would never take offense at those who offered opinions. Soone who could glimpse the Great Dao could never be extre.
Li Tianwei indeed responded just as the elder expected, smiling faintly.
“This kind of problem can be solved. I still rember that one hundred years ago, at Woodbeard Peak, there was an alchemy attendant. Although his spiritual root was poor, he was extrely sensitive to various spiritual herbs. Relying on this talent, he improved the Foundation Establishnt Pill, allowing originally rare spiritual herbs to be replaced with lower-grade herbs that could be cultivated.”
“As a result, the resources consud by the current Foundation Establishnt Pill were reduced to only one-thousandth of the original. Even so, the price of the Foundation Establishnt Pill never changed.”
“Oh right, this is a secret of the Sacred Land of Lingxu. Only so ancestors and Peak Masters know of it.”
After saying this, Li Tianwei deliberately glanced around the surroundings.
So disciples’ expressions turned even uglier. Not everyone was gifted—there were quite a few disciples here who had relied on their own will, struggle, and fortuitous encounters to accumulate large amounts of Spirit Stones, barely managing to advance successfully by relying on Foundation Establishnt Pills.
After hearing this news, the looks they directed toward the seated ancestors and the Sacred Lord of Lingxu beca extrely unpleasant.
Sensing their gazes, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others could only smile awkwardly.
After all, in the past, they believed that if disciples or ordinary cultivators learned the truth about the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it would beco even harder to extract resources from them.
This was entirely a profit-without-cost venture.
“However, after that alchemy attendant handed over the Foundation Establishnt Pill formula to the Sacred Land, he only received so Spirit Stones and a few spiritual herbs. The main reason was that his spiritual root aptitude was insufficient—at most, he would only ever reach the Foundation Establishnt Realm.”
“The Sacred Land of Lingxu never invested much in him.”
Li Tianwei continued speaking, citing countless examples—most of them involving individuals with poor spiritual roots who nonetheless possessed unique talents in other areas, pushing forward much of the developnt.
Among them were even mortals. Unfortunately, because they were not cultivators and had no cultivation base, in the eyes of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, sparing them a glance was already considered a blessing.
Yet the Sacred Land of Lingxu had relied on these people to plunder an unknown amount of resources.
If such talents were properly utilized, then under the guidance of Union Realm great powers or Tribulation Transcendence great powers, could they not advance by leaps and bounds and continue contributing within their areas of talent?
And for those great powers, rely providing pills that could extend lifespan in exchange for greater knowledge—would that not be better?
But because they lacked superior spiritual root aptitude, and more importantly, because their discoveries and talents were useless to those Union Realm great powers, they naturally received no attention.
Yet these things were extrely useful to ordinary cultivators, even allowing most people to shorten the ti required for Qi Refinent and Foundation Establishnt.
That period was difficult, but in the eyes of those with excellent aptitude, Hundred-Day Foundation was trivial, and forming a Golden Core took only a few years. Naturally, the things discovered and researched by those disciples truly seed useless.
What use was it for lower-level cultivators to advance from Qi Refinent to Foundation Establishnt? So secret realms even required Qi Refinent cultivators to explore.
Moreover, in the eyes of powerful cultivators—those who represented absolute authority—these were rely side paths. How could they compare to the great Dao of becoming an Immortal, the Dao of eternal life!
Of course, the other Three Sacred Lands also had similar situations. Did that not further prove that this matter was an objective mistake?
Could it be that simply because you were a disciple of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, and because the other Three Sacred Lands all did the sa, it ant there was no problem?
After saying all this, Li Tianwei did not need to say anything further.
Everyone understood that if those ancestors could truly monopolize all the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, then one would probably have to pay Spirit Stones just to cultivate.
Claims of resource shortages—that with too many cultivators resources would be insufficient—such logic simply did not exist in this world.
Fission, fusion—the vast starry sky still held endless possibilities.
In comparison, fully developing everyone’s talents and pushing forward the transformation of the entire cultivation world was the true path.
“Cultivation must always move forward. It cannot remain stagnant. I hope that future cultivators can be like —Nascent Soul in one year, Ascension in ten years.”
“Since we are changing things, then change them thoroughly. To correct what is wrong, one must go far enough; without going far enough, there can be no correction.”
“Beginning with the Heart-Questioning Steps.”
Li Tianwei’s words were filled with passion and resolve. After speaking, he slowly stood up and pointed toward the outside of the grand hall.
After hearing Li Tianwei’s words, everyone in the grand hall grew solemn.
For so reason, although they felt that Li Tianwei’s words were sowhat exaggerated, he nonetheless gave them a sense of trust.
Nascent Soul in one year, Ascension in ten years.
It seed as though it could truly be realized.
“Good…”
“First Seat Li, we are willing to follow you.”
So disciples had already begun shouting.
【Why do I feel that the Host said all this just to target the Questioning Heaven Ladder?】
And within Li Tianwei’s consciousness, the System, after hearing Li Tianwei’s speech and ultimately seeing his goal point toward the Heart-Questioning Steps, could not help but complain inwardly.
Even so, the System did not dare make a sound. In its view, Li Tianwei really held grudges.
