Chapter 75: The Scripture of Supre Benevolence and Refinent
After settling the millions of people brought back from the Demonic Sect’s territory, Li Tianwei finally returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
As soon as he arrived, Bai Muxu appeared before him.
“Disciple.”
Seeing Bai Muxu’s arrival, Li Tianwei cupped his hands respectfully and bowed. “Greetings, Master.”
Sensing the aura of late Foundation Establishnt emanating from Li Tianwei, along with the five kinds of Dao Intents surrounding him, Bai Muxu nodded slightly.
“It seems you haven’t been slacking off during your ti outside.”
“You’ve already reached the late Foundation Establishnt stage—much faster than I expected. It’s about ti you start preparing to form your Golden Core.”
Bai Muxu turned his back slowly, his tone carrying a heavy weight.
Li Tianwei replied calmly, “This disciple has been thinking the sa. After the journey to the Demonic Sect’s land, I realized that my foundation is still sowhat lacking.”
His mind, however, was filled with frustration—how could he not have instantly slain that Nascent Soul peak cultivator! If he could have done so, that demonic leader wouldn’t even have had the right to approach him!
Hearing Li Tianwei’s words, Bai Muxu gave him a once-over. Indeed, there was sothing… off about him.
He looked a little too sinister.
But all his cultivation thods were ones Bai Muxu had given him, his knowledge was taught by Bai Muxu, and his cultivation had taken place on Heaven’s Gate Peak. So how did he end up looking this… demonic?!
For the sake of his future reputation, Bai Muxu decided it was necessary to correct this.
Originally, he had given Li Tianwei abundant resources, various spells, and cultivation thods for reference—many of which ca from the storage rings of those Spirit Transformation cultivators he had slain during the great battle with the Demonic Sect. After cleaning out the harmful things, he had tossed them to Li Tianwei.
He hadn’t expected that Li Tianwei would actually cultivate through every single one of those demonic techniques that “weren’t much of a problem.”
Still, Bai Muxu knew this was his own fault. If not for Li Tianwei successfully completing the Hundred-Day Foundation and then showing off by running around the Sacred Land twice and a half—staying off his own peak for days—he wouldn’t have been exposed to the Grievance Energy that tainted his cultivation.
Fortunately, Li Tianwei’s Dao Heart was firm; he even comprehended Dao Intents from that very corruption.
Now that a problem had surfaced, as his master, Bai Muxu had to make up for it.
Although demonic cultivation techniques could accelerate progress, they were extre and easily led to imbalance.
Cultivation of immortality emphasized equilibrium—the harmony of Yin and Yang, of the Five Elents, of the myriad laws of Heaven and Earth.
At this point, Li Tianwei needed a more proper cultivation thod to suppress his excessively demonic tendencies.
After so thought, Bai Muxu found a suitable scripture among his collections.
However… in his opinion, this particular thod was too gentle. The creator of this technique had always held ideals Bai Muxu strongly disagreed with—believing that “all things in the world are inherently good, that through purification and education, even demonic cultivators could be redeed.”
And precisely because of that belief, the creator had eventually perished at the hands of demonic cultivators.
If one were to speak of strength and talent, that person was about equal to Bai Muxu. But, alas… who in this age could keep their hands free of blood? Why must your weakness be kindness?
Bai Muxu couldn’t help but sigh in rembrance—after all, that person had once saved his life.
Thus, he had only kept this thod as part of his collection.
But now things were different. Thinking of the overwhelming demonic aura enveloping Li Tianwei, using this to counterbalance it might actually bring harmony to his Yin and Yang.
Clapping his hands, Bai Muxu made his decision.
As for honestly telling Li Tianwei, “You’ve gone a little off track, so I’m correcting you,”—that was out of the question! His dignity wouldn’t allow it! Besides, it wasn’t even “off-track”—he was just setting things right! Cultivating so demonic arts was normal!
“Disciple, this is the Scripture of Supre Benevolence and Refinent. It is a supre, radiant, righteous thod. I see that your cultivation is approaching the Golden Core stage, so I’m giving it to you. In my opinion, this scripture might suit you even better than the Five Intentions Converge to Heaven Art...”
Bai Muxu hesitated for a mont, trying to find a complint to fit Li Tianwei—but after a few seconds, he gave up. Maybe he could praise his aptitude? But even then, Bai Muxu had his pride; he couldn’t keep speaking nonsense with a straight face.
“The Scripture of Supre Benevolence and Refinent?”
Li Tianwei looked at the book Bai Muxu handed him, his expression filled with curiosity.
But upon seeing the character “善” (Goodness) on the cover, he imdiately felt that this cultivation thod must be perfectly suited for him—after all, he was a good person!
Li Tianwei accepted the book with gratitude.
“Many thanks, Master.”
“Make sure to cultivate it diligently,” Bai Muxu advised sowhat awkwardly after seeing Li Tianwei accept it.
“I will definitely study it well and grasp the aning behind this scripture.”
Li Tianwei nodded deeply. This was the first ti Bai Muxu had ever instructed him so earnestly—the last ti was during the Hundred-Day Foundation—so Li Tianwei was determined to live up to his expectations.
Seeing Li Tianwei’s serious expression, Bai Muxu finally relaxed. In his eyes, Li Tianwei had at last returned to the proper path. After all, this was an absolutely righteous scripture—there was no way he could possibly go astray again, right?
“In addition to that, I’ve already applied to the Sacred Lord to open the Forbidden Land of Taixu for you.”
“The Forbidden Land of Taixu was once a battlefield of immortals. Many immortals perished there, and because of its unique nature, one can even encounter immortal souls within it. Thus, it holds countless opportunities—but those souls have long lost their consciousness, making it extrely dangerous. It is both peril and fortune intertwined.”
“With your heavenly talent, if you enter it and comprehend more Dao Intents or divine abilities, it’s not impossible.”
“Due to its nature, entering the Forbidden Land of Taixu ans facing near-certain death. Are you willing to step into it and fight for a sliver of transcendence?”
Bai Muxu explained the arrangent he had prepared and the risks involved.
After listening, Li Tianwei’s eyes lit up. This was exactly what he had co to ask Bai Muxu for!
What he needed now was a place where he could comprehend Dao Intents and elevate his cultivation.
“As expected, fate itself delivers what I seek. This is the protagonist’s privilege—my strength truly is overwhelming.”
Li Tianwei couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
As for the “nine deaths and one life” part—perhaps it applied to others, but certainly not to him!
Though he thought so inwardly, he wouldn’t say it aloud. When Bai Muxu posed the question, Li Tianwei imdiately answered without hesitation—
“This disciple is willing.”
Bai Muxu observed his expression carefully, seeing no hint of fear—only a trace of joy and decisiveness.
“Good. As expected of my disciple.”
Bai Muxu nodded in satisfaction.
