Chunibyo in Cultivation World

“Report it first and see how it’s handled.”

Watching the demonic aura surging skyward in the distance, Xu Yuanwen immediately contacted the other Nascent Soul elders stationed with him.

When those people saw the scene far away, their expressions turned grim as well.

None of them had expected that under such circumstances, a demonic cultivator would appear—and what was even stranger was that, although the aura was extremely sinister, there wasn’t a trace of bloodlust or karmic burden within it.

It looked utterly evil, yet somehow clean—pure.

The Nascent Soul elders all thought the same thing.

At the same time, they couldn’t figure out how such a demonic cultivator with sky-piercing demonic qi had managed to reach the front of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Soon, that aura rapidly approached.

Judging by its speed, it had to at least belong to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The stationed Nascent Soul elders were already prepared for battle.

Not long after, the source of that extreme and sinister aura revealed its true form.

From the distance, a stream of radiant light tore through the sky, speeding toward them.

The elders’ faces grew solemn, for they could sense that the spiritual wheel in flight seemed to be a superior-grade magic treasure—or perhaps even higher.

Even from afar, they could feel the treasure’s powerful aura, as well as several figures standing upon it.

However, Xu Yuanwen was different—he had recognized the figure on that distant spiritual wheel.

“Damn, doesn’t this brat know how to keep a low profile?”

“So arrogant?”

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuanwen was also shocked by Li Tianwei’s behavior.

But after thinking about it, such blatant arrogance—without even bothering to conceal the demonic aura—might actually make others less suspicious.

After all, more than a hundred years ago, the Sacred Land of Lingxu had invaded the territory of the Demonic Sects.

Although they had technically won, they suffered heavy losses due to the many sinister methods of those demonic cultivators.

To know the enemy, many within the Sacred Land of Lingxu had begun studying demonic cultivation methods.

In fact, through the merging of righteous and demonic paths, quite a few results had been achieved.

As a result, the Sacred Land of Lingxu possessed many techniques seized from the Demonic Sects, and quite a number of its cultivators also practiced them.

As long as they didn’t harm others or disrupt the natural order, the sect mostly turned a blind eye.

Even some of the elders practiced them.

But at least those people tried to hide it—while this Li Tianwei...

Xu Yuanwen truly didn’t know how to describe him.

Wasn’t he afraid of meeting a righteous powerhouse who might strike him down on the spot in the name of eliminating demons?

“How did he make it all the way to the Sacred Land of Lingxu unharmed?”

Xu Yuanwen also had that doubt.

After all, in his eyes, Li Tianwei was someone with a False Spiritual Root.

Still, in the eyes of the strong of the Sacred Land, geniuses were special—it was normal for them to be a bit unusual.

Although he was puzzled, Xu Yuanwen quickly reminded himself that Li Tianwei was his colleague—and part of the Heaven-Demon Cult’s greater plan.

He absolutely couldn’t let Li Tianwei be harmed!

Thinking this, Xu Yuanwen hurriedly stopped the Nascent Soul elders who were about to strike.

“Elders, there’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! That person is Li Tianwei, disciple of the Heaven’s Gate Peak Master.”

Upon hearing Xu Yuanwen’s words, the elders immediately halted.

Some looked at Li Tianwei in astonishment, sensing his emanating aura.

Had they not known his identity earlier, they would have thought him some arrogant fool flaunting such a demonic aura on the Sacred Land’s territory.

But now that they knew who he was, they instead found him rather elegant—able to practice demonic arts yet still exude such grace.

Instantly, their previous doubts about how Li Tianwei had reached the Sacred Land vanished.

A genius in the Foundation Establishment Realm capable of defeating a Nascent Soul demon—no matter what kind of cultivation he practiced, it was understandable.

Every genius had their quirks; perhaps Li Tianwei just appeared a bit sinister—nothing strange about that!

Thus, after Xu Yuanwen’s clarification and the elders’ own assessment, they confirmed Li Tianwei posed no threat and allowed him, along with his overwhelming aura of demonic resentment, to enter the sect.

Li Tianwei must have been detected by the high-levels of the Sacred Land the moment he stepped onto their territory—otherwise, with such an aura, how could he have returned unhindered?

At Heaven’s Gate Peak, Bai Muxu also sensed Li Tianwei’s arrival—his reaction was about the same as that of the two Supreme Elders of the Sacred Land.

Had he not known the reason behind Li Tianwei’s strange Dao Intents, Bai Muxu would likely have mistaken him for a Great Demon as well.

“He really doesn’t hide it at all. Does he actually think he’s cultivating some radiant righteous path? And the worst part is—it’s the technique I taught him.”

Bai Muxu could only cover his face in mild despair.

“Hm? He’s grasped another Dao Intent?”

Suddenly, Bai Muxu sensed a new Dao Intent aura emerging from Li Tianwei and couldn’t help showing surprise.

“The Forbidden Land of Taixu—he must be sent there as soon as possible. If he can comprehend a Divine Ability within it, he’ll have even greater potential than I do.”

——

Meanwhile, Li Tianwei’s journey back to the Sacred Land of Lingxu had been smooth and unhindered.

The first thing he did upon returning was to arrange for the placement of the ordinary mortals within the Saint Soul Banner.

Several million people—it would take multiple cities to house them.

Fortunately, this was a cultivation world.

With the power of cultivators, expanding territories and founding cities was simple—just a matter of a few spells.

Li Tianwei couldn’t help feeling speechless.

Clearly, cultivators possessed power that could reshape everything—even advance entire societies—yet the world remained in an agrarian, feudal state.

In his view, these cultivators were far too short-sighted.

Then again, he also found it understandable.

Cultivators sought immortality, transcendence—everything else was meaningless distractions that delayed progress.

Thus, they would never waste their magic on mere mortals.

Still, Li Tianwei found this perspective flawed.

Unfortunately, he knew this wasn’t something he could change yet—but in the future, who knew?

That was his genuine thought.

Meanwhile, the cultivators working ahead of him suddenly felt a chill down their backs, for some reason sensing that their futures might turn miserable.

To handle the millions of people, Li Tianwei chose several locations across the great nations within the Sacred Land’s territory to build cities.

With his current strength, constructing cities was effortless—just a matter of using the right techniques.

In Li Tianwei’s view, the power of his Five-Colored Heavenly Root was telling him that he was a well-rounded talent.

Perhaps one day, he could even become an architect.

In a few short days, cities were erected, territories divided for millions of people, and sufficient food and seeds distributed—after that, they would have to rely on themselves.

After completing everything, Li Tianwei returned to Heaven’s Gate Peak, preparing to ask his master where he could best comprehend Dao Intents and advance his cultivation.

He was thinking of places similar to the “Land of Near Dao” within the Demonic Sect territory—surely the Sacred Land of Lingxu had something equivalent.

He had to increase his strength.

The goal of mastering a hundred Dao Intents must also be achieved.

After all, back in Panshan City, when fighting that Nascent Soul Peak demon, Li Tianwei had indeed felt a bit of strain.

Although he had the upper hand, it wasn’t an instant victory—unsettling, to say the least.

Clearly, his current cultivation and techniques were already lagging behind his configuration.

One could only wonder—if others knew Li Tianwei’s thoughts, what expressions they would have.
