Chunibyo in Cultivation World

Sacred Land of Lingxu.

When Li Tianwei erupted with power and shattered the methods laid down by the Demons on Burning Void Peak, the violent commotion instantly drew the attention of the powerful figures of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

However, after Li Tianwei broke through the Demon’s means, the experts of the Sacred Land failed to stop him.

After all, the Demons had long since swapped the two spaces beforehand in order to carry out their plans more effectively.

The two spaces overlapped at the same position, so once Li Tianwei broke through, he directly fell into the other side.

The Demon’s original plan had been to corrode Li Tianwei first, and afterward, use him to strike at Bai Muxu, slowly devouring the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu from within.

It could be said that the Demons were constantly performing such acts in every corner of the world.

Since this disturbance occurred within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, several old ancestors who had sealed their cultivation were forced to unseal themselves to investigate—yet they still could not uncover the cause.

This alone showed the subtlety of the Demon’s methods.

A few days later, the surviving people began returning to the Sacred Land of Lingxu one after another.

After Li Tianwei shattered the Demon’s technique, the resulting explosion had scattered everyone in different directions.

Some landed not far from the Sacred Land of Lingxu, while others were blown all the way into the territories of other Sacred Lands.

The disciples who had attended the banquet on Burning Void Peak gradually returned to the Sacred Land of Lingxu as well.

At last, the truth of what had transpired within the grand hall that day was revealed.

In particular, the fact that Li Tianwei had suppressed a Nascent Soul cultivator with only his Foundation Establishment strength left many ancestors and elders of the Sacred Land utterly astonished.

After all, how long had Li Tianwei been cultivating?

He had achieved his Foundation in just a hundred days, and the gap between Foundation Establishment and Nascent Soul was like heaven and earth.

While many found it hard to believe, Bai Muxu understood clearly that Li Tianwei indeed possessed such capability.

He had already comprehended three kinds of Dao Intents, possessed a top-grade magical treasure, and—most importantly—was his own disciple.

Back then, when Bai Muxu had been at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he too had fought against Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even if they were the weakest of that realm, he had been able to resist them.

So it wasn’t impossible that his disciple would also have such means.

Aside from that, there was the issue of the Demons.

“Demons… I didn’t expect them to appear again so soon.”

Upon learning the news from the returning disciples, Bai Muxu’s expression turned grim.

He drew the longsword on his back and gently swung it.

“There’s not much time left. I have to break through as well.”

At that moment, Bai Muxu seemed to have made some sort of decision.

As for the existence of the Demons, the higher-ups of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were well aware of it.

But because of their peculiar nature, the Demons were almost impossible to detect; once they invaded a human body, neither behavior nor memory would reveal any flaws.

Thus, only the upper echelon of the Sacred Land knew of the Demons, mainly to prevent widespread panic.

As a result, the incident on Burning Void Peak was directly attributed to the Sacred Land of Baiyuan and various Demonic Sects.

In the official version spread to the public, Liu Muyu—an undercover agent from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan—had supposedly hosted that banquet in an attempt to assassinate the prodigy Li Tianwei.

In the end, Li Tianwei saw through the plot and killed him on the spot.

Hence, the entire incident was labeled as sabotage by a Baiyuan spy who had harmed disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Coincidentally, Xiao E and a group of disciples from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan were currently visiting.

The upper echelons of the Sacred Land of Lingxu issued a formal ultimatum, demanding that the Sacred Land of Baiyuan properly handle the matter.

After all, the Four Great Sacred Lands of the Western Region shared common roots and jointly resisted the Demonic Sects.

Planting a spy in another Sacred Land was a serious betrayal.

Xiao E, who had been promised release after negotiations, was once again imprisoned.

Just like that, his chance to return home was gone.

Because of Li Tianwei’s extraordinary talent, the Sacred Land of Lingxu remained uncertain about his exact condition.

They even invited a reclusive Out-of-Body Realm cultivator to perform divination.

The result showed that Li Tianwei was safe, which finally allowed the matter to be settled.

——

Compared to the disciples lucky enough to be blasted near the Sacred Land of Lingxu, some had been hurled directly into Demonic Sect territories, and a few were even sent into forbidden lands.

Li Tianchen was one of them.

After escaping from the grand hall, the shockwave had thrown him into the Heaven-Burning Abyss—one of the three great forbidden grounds of the Northern Spirit Domain.

If not for the assistance of Elder Ling’s soul power, Li Tianchen would have perished there long ago.

The longer he stayed inside, the more he felt an invisible flame igniting within his heart, roasting everything about him—a torment in every sense of the word.

“Tianchen boy, my soul power can only protect you for a few more days. If we can’t find a way out soon, we’ll both die here.”

“It seems we can only go there.”

Hearing Elder Ling’s words, Li Tianchen appeared to have made up his mind.

Very soon, he began heading toward the depths of the Heaven-Burning Abyss.

In the violent energies and darkened regions of that place, a wisp of five-colored immortal light suddenly flickered, as though something extraordinary was about to emerge.

That was Li Tianchen’s choice—to enter the hidden realm within and make one final gamble.

——

“Finally done.”

Relying on his own knowledge, Li Tianwei had at last completed a strange formation atop the mountain, using Spirit Stones and the materials available there.

The formation had only one function—to allow the Radiant Wheel on his body to sense the location through resonance with its own embedded array.

It served as an anchor point; once his strength grew sufficient, he could construct a proper teleportation array to freely return here.

After finishing his setup, Li Tianwei certainly hadn’t forgotten how rude those Demonic Cultivators in this region had been.

After suffering such humiliation, how could he possibly endure it? Though the main culprit had already been slain by his hands—

In Li Tianwei’s view, the problem wasn’t just Lin Yexiao himself.

He was a Demonic Cultivator, and his vile disposition reflected the influence of the society around him.

Therefore! To eliminate the root cause, the Demonic Cultivators and the Demons needed a thorough cleansing.

The Demonic Cultivators of this world were not like those in novels, who merely followed a different path of cultivation—they were embodiments of pure evil.

Those deemed Demonic Cultivators used humans as materials for their cultivation, refining blood, souls, and bones into artifacts.

This was something Li Tianwei had realized through his communion with heaven and earth.

It could be said that among all the evildoers in the world, eighty percent were Demonic Cultivators—willing to do anything, no matter how vile, to advance their cultivation.

“It’s a pity my strength is still too weak to purge them all completely. But even if I’m weak, I can still do what I can.”

“As the saying goes, a beautiful world is built when everyone lends a helping hand.”

Li Tianwei thought so to himself and began to act immediately.

Within his consciousness, the System watched Li Tianwei’s actions and couldn’t help but mourn in advance for those who would soon cross his path.

Clearly, those two fellows from earlier had left a profound impression on him.

With that, Li Tianwei activated his Aerial Movement Technique and flew outward.
