Chapter 297 : Trying to Ruin My Dao Heart
Chapter 297: Trying to Ruin My Dao Heart
As the Ascension Tribulation before him passed, the aura around Li Tianwei also underwent an enormous change, and the stars formed from the Dao Intents surrounding him became completely resplendent.
If one observed carefully, one would discover that those stars were strange and varied. Some were composed of gas, others were formed from energy, and one could even observe the sand and soil upon the stars.
At this moment, Li Tianwei’s Manifestation became incomparably real, Condense the Spirit and Transform It into Reality.
After successfully advancing to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Li Tianwei’s expression remained solemn as he raised his head and looked toward the horizon.
Li Tianwei could feel something above calling him upward. The faintly discernible Heavenly Gate seemed to be telling him that once he took this step, he could ascend beyond it, shedding mortality and becoming an Immortal from that moment onward.
“Ascension?”
“Become an Immortal?”
Li Tianwei could not help but stretch out a hand as he murmured.
“Immortal Realm, here I come.”
Li Tianwei lightly pushed off with his foot, and his entire body rose into the air. At the same time, the Heavenly Gate high above the horizon slowly opened.
Endless immortal light spilled out from within. There seemed to be white cranes soaring, Immortals roaming within, lotus flowers drifting about, and an intense aura of life, all of which proclaimed just what kind of scene lay within the Heavenly Gate.
Immortal colors spilled outward as rosy light appeared and slowly descended.
The earth below seemed to become more vibrant. Flowers and grasses gradually grew as though they had been granted spirits, with the fragrance of a hundred flowers and a hundred beasts vying with one another. What a flourishing sight it was.
All of this came from the gradual opening of the Heavenly Gate.
Li Tianwei flew upward through the air, following the guidance from above until he arrived before the Heavenly Gate. He placed his hand against the gate, then gently exerted force. The towering Heavenly Gate, engraved with all manner of strange phenomena of countless beasts, was completely pushed open.
Rumble……
Ten thousand zhang of rosy light shone downward as Immortal Energy surged forth. The Spiritual Energy of the cultivation world seemed to sense something and leaped with joy.
Yet Li Tianwei’s expression remained solemn, his gaze blazing like a torch, appearing even brighter than that dazzling rosy light.
Everything around him, every kind of scene, was telling Li Tianwei that as long as he took one step forward, he could ascend into the Immortal Realm, and immortality would then be right before his eyes.
Yet Li Tianwei was in no hurry to step inside. Instead, he gazed into the Heavenly Gate.
【Host, why aren’t you going in? Once you go in, you’ll have successfully ascended?】
At this moment, the System spoke, asking with some confusion.
Hearing the System’s voice, Li Tianwei instinctively sank his consciousness inward.
“I feel like something’s wrong?”
Li Tianwei replied.
【What could be wrong? You’ve already passed the Ascension Tribulation, and the Evil Demons have been completely exterminated by you. Step across and you’ll become an Immortal, with eternity right before your eyes. How could there possibly be anything wrong with the Heavenly Gate?】
【Inside is the Immortal Realm.】
The System seemed somewhat anxious and could not help urging him.
“Is that so? There’s nothing wrong?”
Li Tianwei raised his head slightly, his expression not changing in the slightest. He showed no sign of hurrying inside because of the System’s urging.
【There’s definitely nothing wrong. The Heavenly Gate before you, as well as the Immortal Realm over there, are exactly identical to the Immortal Realm in my Data. Once you enter, you’ll become an Immortal.】
The System continued speaking, but this time, it did not become as agitated as before.
“Oh, then I’ll go in.”
After Li Tianwei finished speaking, he slightly raised his foot and had already taken half a step forward.
The System within his consciousness waited eagerly, watching Li Tianwei’s foot as it was about to descend.
【Hurry up, hurry up.】
The System could not help chanting inwardly. Suddenly, amid the System’s anticipation, Li Tianwei’s outstretched foot stopped in midair.
【What’s going on, Host? Why did you stop?】
Seeing Li Tianwei stop, the System became so anxious that even its voice trembled slightly.
“How could I not stop! Who knows what’s waiting for me inside? And besides, the System would never talk to me as attentively as you do. Next time you pretend to be it, at least act more like it.”
Li Tianwei withdrew his foot and immediately responded with his consciousness.
【Eh, I didn’t expect you to discover me. I clearly already seized control of it. You’re merely at Spirit Transformation. Even if you possess the combat power of an Immortal, you shouldn’t have been able to discover me.】
【How strange!】
The “System”, seeing that Li Tianwei had exposed it, no longer maintained its previous anxious demeanor and instead became considerably calmer.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be that Main System!”
Sensing the System’s change, Li Tianwei spoke directly.
【More or less!】
The “System” answered Li Tianwei without the slightest hesitation.
【You really are a strange fellow. Now that you know, why don’t you feel terrified or afraid!】
【According to the information and Data from this Subsystem, your growth trajectory truly is terrifying!】
【Among those Transmigrators in the past, which one didn’t eagerly await the System’s arrival so they could gain something without working for it, then lord over others after obtaining supreme power.】
【But you! You were clearly a False Spiritual Root, yet you firmly believed that your own Heavenly Talent was extraordinary. Without borrowing even the slightest assistance from the System, you grew to this level in less than two years.】
【You even turned the Subsystem against me.】
【The Systems I created could clearly let you obtain even greater power for nothing. You could also rely on that power to become an existence everyone looked up to and make countless living beings your slaves.】
【Yet why did you choose to spread your Dao, even allowing countless ordinary living beings to walk the path toward ultimate strength? I truly don’t know what goes on inside your head.】
The Main System continuously scrutinized Li Tianwei while analyzing him with Data.
【But none of that matters. Once you walk into the Heavenly Gate, I’ll have my answer. Since you’re unwilling to enter, I’ll have to give you a helping hand.】
Relying on absolute power, the Main System poured its words directly into Li Tianwei’s consciousness.
Even so, it failed to notice that after it finished speaking, Li Tianwei’s expression visibly darkened.
“False Spiritual Root? As expected of Systems from the same source, you’re equally useless. Have you ever seen a False Spiritual Root ascend in two years?”
Cold light flashed in Li Tianwei’s eyes as traces of fury began brewing within him.
【That’s right, there’s no mistake. You are a False Spiritual Root, a False Spiritual Root so ordinary that you couldn’t possibly be any more ordinary.】
【The Spirit-Testing Stone that tested you as having a Heavenly Spiritual Root was broken, while that Elder from the Sacred Land of Lingxu whom you first met was an undercover agent from the Heaven-Demon Cult. He mistook you for one of their spies and gave you pills, which was how you managed to bluff your way through.】
The Main System responded according to the information it had analyzed from the Data, without the slightest falsehood mixed in.
“I nearly fell for your trick. You’re trying to ruin my immaculate Dao Heart.”
The fury that had originally begun rising within Li Tianwei suddenly vanished completely as though he had thought of something, leaving his heart without the slightest ripple.
In his view, this Main System was obviously trying to provoke his emotions so it could use the opportunity to do something sinister.
Just moments ago, it had even tried to trick him into entering the Heavenly Gate! Who knew what was inside!
So now that it was trying to enrage him, it was undoubtedly plotting something malicious. How could Li Tianwei possibly let it succeed.
