Chunibyo in Cultivation World

Heaven’s Gate Peak.

Li Tianwei personally sent off each of the disciples who, under the enlightenment of his Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, had been moved to tears of gratitude.

After returning to his cave residence, and reflecting on the recent incident where the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were influenced by the Evil Demons—driven into madness, even attacking their own sect members—Li Tianwei resolved that such a thing must never happen again.

The Sacred Land of Lingxu, a righteous holy land of the orthodox path, must not fall into such corruption because of the Evil Demons’ influence, becoming a den of madness.

Those disciples had lost even the most basic sense of reason and independent thought. Such a situation was absolutely unacceptable.

Thinking of how they were manipulated merely by a baseless rumor, Li Tianwei could not help but sigh.

“Sigh, if only there were others in this world whose hearts were as clear as a mirror, who possessed kindness, unwavering will, self-confidence, and a virtuous nature as I do. Then none would fall under the Evil Demons’ influence.”

Li Tianwei knew clearly that this was what set him apart from others—and that this was also the best defense against the Evil Demons.

As a man filled with compassion and great love for all beings, how could he stand by idly while the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu suffered under demonic control?

Thus, Li Tianwei decided that he must personally instruct the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu—teach them to be like him, with hearts of supreme kindness and compassion. Only then would they possess the strength to resist the Evil Demons.

For this reason, Li Tianwei planned to submit a proposal to the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu, offering to guide the disciples himself.

“Surely a righteous holy land such as the Sacred Land of Lingxu will understand my pure intentions and approve my proposal.”

Having made up his mind, Li Tianwei began to write within his cave residence.

Just as he put brush to paper, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura appear outside Heaven’s Gate Peak.

“Daoist Master Lan Yu.”

Li Tianwei paused his writing, his expression showing some confusion, but still ordered his Book Spirit to open the grand formation protecting Heaven’s Gate Peak.

Outside, Lan Yu saw the formation open and immediately approached, carrying with him the five-colored spiritual aura bestowed by the sacred sigil.

In Lan Yu’s mind, with this spiritual aura in hand, Li Tianwei stood as the highest authority within the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Protected by the Sacred Land’s guardian formation, he could draw upon its power to repel any enemy—even a cultivator of the Union Realm could not harm him.

And if he were within the main peak, sheltered by the spiritual treasure Nine Profound Heaven-Sealing Seal, even a Tribulation Transcendence would not injure him.

Only thus could his safety within the Sacred Land of Lingxu be ensured—no matter if the other three great sacred lands or the Evil Demons sent assassins, they would be unable to harm him.

Li Tianwei had no idea that the very thing he was thinking about was already being delivered to him.

Soon, Lan Yu arrived before Li Tianwei’s cave residence.

Li Tianwei, upon sensing his arrival, went out to greet him—such was the proper courtesy of a host welcoming a guest.

“Junior Nephew, I’ve brought you a great fortune.”

Lan Yu looked at Li Tianwei, who stood calmly before the cave entrance—confident, composed, and resolute—as he spoke.

Without waiting for Li Tianwei’s greeting, he directly took out the five-colored spiritual aura.

“Junior Nephew, this is a wisp of the Nine Profound Heaven-Sealing Seal’s spiritual aura—this is the fortune I came to deliver.”

“This represents the highest authority of the Sacred Land of Lingxu. With it, you can command the entire Sacred Land, obtaining anything you require.”

Lan Yu did not beat around the bush; he directly handed over the five-colored spiritual aura and explained its effects to Li Tianwei.

Hearing this, Li Tianwei’s spirit lifted.

He had just been pondering how to teach every disciple of the Sacred Land about the meaning of great love and virtue, worried that the Sacred Land might reject his request. Now, it was as if someone had offered him a pillow the moment he felt sleepy.

“Sigh, it truly is difficult being the protagonist. Whenever I need something, it just happens to arrive at my door.”

Li Tianwei had only one way to describe this—as it should be.

“Well, it isn’t so much that it was sent to me, but rather that the higher-ups of the Sacred Land recognized my virtues and entrusted me with such power. No doubt my master had a hand in this.”

Li Tianwei naturally would not decline.

He promptly accepted the five-colored spiritual aura, and the moment it touched his hand, it merged into his body.

Instantly, a new thought surfaced in his consciousness—he could now command the formations of the Sacred Land of Lingxu and draw upon the power within the Nine Profound Heaven-Sealing Seal at will.

“With this, Junior Nephew, the previous incidents will never happen again within the Sacred Land of Lingxu,” Lan Yu said, watching Li Tianwei explore the spiritual aura’s effects.

“Hm. As you said, with this highest authority, I can indeed direct the entire Sacred Land?”

Li Tianwei asked tentatively.

Lan Yu nodded deeply.

“This was a collective decision by the Elders and Peak Masters. With your talent, such treatment is well-deserved.”

As he spoke, for some reason, the image of Li Tianwei revealing his spiritual root appeared in Lan Yu’s mind again—almost as if it had left him with a psychological shadow.

“What am I thinking! That wasn’t a False Spiritual Root—it was a Heavenly Spiritual Root that resembled one!”

He quickly composed himself.

“In that case,” Li Tianwei’s lips curved in delight, “I can do whatever I wish now?”

Seeing Li Tianwei’s joyous expression, Lan Yu felt a vague sense of unease.

“Not exactly. Certain unreasonable acts are, of course, not permitted,” he reminded.

But in Li Tianwei’s mind, how could what he intended be unreasonable? He merely wished to personally instruct the Sacred Land’s disciples—a perfectly rational and beneficial act. Surely the Sacred Land would support such a thing.

“Of course. I’m not that kind of person,” Li Tianwei nodded firmly. As a man of such supreme virtue, possessing such authority, how could he possibly do anything wicked?

Although Lan Yu was not well acquainted with Li Tianwei, he knew from before that even those disciples who had wronged Li Tianwei due to rumors had not been punished by him. Instead, Li Tianwei had guided them toward the right path.

Thus, Lan Yu was certain that Li Tianwei’s character was not lacking.

“If you need anything, you can issue orders at any time.”

“Is that so?”

“Uncle-Master, as it happens, I do have a plan.”

At this moment, Li Tianwei decided not to hide his intentions any longer—he was ready to share his previous plan.

“I am all ears,” Lan Yu replied curiously, wondering what Li Tianwei’s first act after gaining such authority would be.
