The adapts moved forward and formed a tight circle around Lirian to reduce the area he could move in, and only three came forward.
One came face to face with him and the other two stood slightly behind him in his blind spots, to form a triangle.
It wouldn't make any sense for them to crowd him with attacks, not only would such an approach be ineffective, odds were that they would only get in each-others way.
'Pity for them that my [Detection Barrier] gives me a near eagle-like vision of my surroundings,' Lirian laughed internally but then even if he didn't use the barrier they wouldn't be able to escape his senses.
Lirian moved promptly as a sword came at him with a horizontal slash, but just as he tilted his body, two more sword slashes came in cutting off his escape.
Lirian laughed and kicked himself off the ground, as the three swords locked in around him, he slipped over them with the blades just barely missing his body.
Lirian spun in the air, and pressed his hand down where two of the blade's overlapped, he pivoted his body on his arm, and brought one of his legs forward with a sweeping kick.
Lirian's leg moved like a whip and with a snapping sound, it smashed directly into the head of the adapt.
The force of the blow knocked the adapt off his feet and sent him hurtling across the corridor, he crashed into the wall and his helm made a loud clinking sound as it crumpled in against his head.
Lirian promptly rolled to the ground, but just as he came to a halt three spears shot out from the novices, all of them took aim of his landing spot.
Lirian waved his hand and a burst of telekinetic force knock the three spears of course.
"When grown-ups are having fun the children should stay out of it," Lirian shouted and took a long and sharp breath, everyone could hear the sharpness of the suction, and in the next second all went silent as a blazing torrent of flames erupted from Lirian's mouth.
Scarlet flames shot out from Lirian's mouth and he performed a slight spin on his heels, the fire spread in a circle and washed over all the novices in the surroundings, yet the flames completely ignored the adepts.
Shouts and screams, filled with pain ensued, the novices rolled on the ground and swatted at the flames that clung to their bodies and armour, but they were unable to dampen the flames in the slightest.
Those flames were no ordinary flames, they were infused with [Voids Corrosion], the power of the void was the product of chaos, while beings that belonged to the plain were beings of order.
So the [Voids Corrosion] would cling onto all things that represented order, to return it to chaos, as the flames ate away at the novices Lirian extended his hands and activated his [Conduit] skill, the newly created chaos energy rapidly flew into Lirian's body and restored his energy.
Under the current conditions, Lirian couldn't rely on his [Unconscious Cultivator] to constantly restore his energy so he had to rely on his [Voids Corrosion] and [Conduit] abilities to restore his energy.
Unlike other beings of order Lirian's 'Void Walker' esper technique granted him a body that could accept void energy, he could even cultivate with it.
"Now then where were we?" Lirian asked the adepts who were looking at the hell around them with stunned eyes.
"You cultivate two centres of power?!" the leader of the adapts half asked and half stated with shock.
"Oh," Lirian turned to her with surprise on his face, "You know of cultivators that cultivate multiple centres of power?" he asked feeling slightly intrigued, that they knew about cultivating multiple centres of power, yet they didn't do it.
The woman nodded in acceptance, Lirian's question gave her the answer she was looking for, "Don't use killing blows against him," she ordered the adapts.
"He has to be from one of the great houses or the royal family, to be walking that dead-end path," she said fiercely.
"Dead end path?" Lirian asked while tilting his head in surprise.
The woman scoffed, "Everyone knows that it's just a waste of resources to cultivate multiple centres of power, at most you'll become an adapt, but you'll die of old age before stepping into the next realm,"
"Only the great families and royal family have the resources to waste, for anyone delusional enough to take that path," she scoffed, "So which one are you from?" she asked.
Lirian stood with a blank look for what felt like a long time, after listening to the adapt, 'These people… these people…' Lirian stammered in his head in disbelief.
The adapts were watching him carefully for any sudden moves, they all tensed up when they saw Lirian's entire body move but in the next instant, all they heard was a loud and booming laugh.
They watched in disbelief as laughter racked every inch of Lirian's body, he was shaking so hard that his legs couldn't even support his body, he fell to the ground while surrounded by enemies and rolled around on the ground as he suffered to suck in air as he laughed uncontrollably.
"Never… in all my… lives… have I met such… stupid people," Lirian gasped for breath between every word, "No… with such stupidity… I'm insulting all people… by calling you people," Lirian choked on his words as he struggled to contain his laughter.
He had seen dumb before, he witnessed people, who believed that the other paths of cultivation were demonic arts that destroyed the balance of the world.
If they were unable to understand the other paths, they labelled them as unnatural and sacrilege against the heavens, but this was just a new and more evolved form of the word dumb.
In all his lives never before had he seen people so stupid, that they would call the true path of cultivation, the only path that would allow one to reach the peak of the mortal realm as a dead end.
'No wonder the will of the world had to add it to my quest, for me to educate the people of the world about the dao of cultivation,' Lirian thought and he felt a wave of sympathy for the will of the world.
"Not everyone is as stupid as you are, right?" Lirian asked with genuine concern, and the adapts found it hard to describe the wave of pure concern that they felt emanating from Lirian.
They wanted to feel angry at his words, but his sincere concern touched them in ways they couldn't explain and washed away any form of anger they held towards him.
Lirian did feel genuinely concerned, it the true path of cultivation was known to the people of the world, yet they believed as the woman in front of him believed, then this world would be useless to hone himself.
If all the people in this world only focused on a single centre of power, they would not be able to achieve the fifth grade without dying, and they would be a complete mess if they managed to reach the fourth grade.
The imbalance in their centres of power would completely ruin their other centres of power, for instance, if a body cultivator managed to reach the fifth grade without cultivating their mind, they would lose their ability to form conscious thoughts, they would be like a brainless beast.
Their dantian would also burst under the power of their body, and they would not be able to store energy inside their bodies anymore, once they used up the left-over energy in their bodies they would die from exhaustion.
Hack even a third grade body cultivator in the late stages, would start to find in hard to think properly and fourth grade body cultivators would start to lose all their awareness, they could be treated like mindless puppets that follow only orders.
The only way to avoid such a fate was to cultivate the other centres of power and maintain the equilibrium.
A wave of anguish filled Lirian's mind as he thought of the possibility that he might not find truly worthy opponents on this world.
Feeling the blank stares of the cultivators, Lirian felt a surge of anger, "Those who are so stupid, to label the true path of cultivation as a dead end deserve only death!" he shouted and charged at the adapts in a blind rage.
