Chunibyo in Cultivation World

In the main peak of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, the elders and ancestors, who were keeping one another in check with mutual vigilance, all revealed shocked expressions upon hearing Lan Yu speak of Li Tianwei’s request.

“What? A sermon?”

Someone even blurted out in disbelief.

It was evident from this reaction how inconceivable Li Tianwei’s behavior appeared to these people.

In their view, if any of them had held the highest authority of the Sacred Land, they would surely have used it to seek greater benefits for themselves or their families.

Yet Li Tianwei made an entirely different choice—he wanted the Sacred Land to gather as many disciples as possible for a grand sermon.

How selfless that was! The elders and ancestors could not help but feel ashamed of themselves.

“Never thought! This Li Tianwei would be so upright.”

“I can’t compare—no wonder he could comprehend so many Dao Intents.”

“He truly has the qualification to preach.”

The elders and ancestors all nodded in agreement, none of them voicing objection.

Except, of course, for Zhang Linyuan—though he certainly would not show it on his face.

In his eyes, Li Tianwei could not possibly be doing this for the sake of a sermon. Most likely, it was aimed at them—the Evil Demons.

From his earlier visit to Heaven’s Gate Peak, Zhang Linyuan had discovered that the demons he had sent to harm Li Tianwei had all disappeared, while the other disciples remained unharmed. Only those possessed by the demons were gone.

Thus, he could conclude that Li Tianwei possessed a method to detect Evil Demons.

Now that Li Tianwei was gathering all the disciples of the Sacred Land, it was likely not for a sermon at all, but rather to purge every Evil Demon hidden within the sect.

At present, Zhang Linyuan was under constant supervision by the others. Given Li Tianwei’s power, not a single demon within the Sacred Land could be his match.

Once everyone was assembled, would they not be at his mercy?

“Despicable! Despicable…”

“Li Tianwei, I didn’t expect you to have such methods—to think of such a clever way to break the stalemate. As expected of the peerless Heaven-Defying Genius born of this heaven and earth—what a brilliant move.”

At this thought, Zhang Linyuan could not help but sigh in admiration.

If Zhang Linyuan knew that in Li Tianwei’s true intentions, exterminating the Evil Demons was merely a side matter, how would he feel?

He was well aware that if Li Tianwei truly eradicated every Evil Demon, all their years of infiltration would be wasted. Humanity would gain another Sacred Land under its full control—something that would heavily disrupt their plans.

“No… this cannot be allowed.”

“If you wish to preach, to drag us all down with you—then don’t blame me.”

By now, Zhang Linyuan had already made his calculations.

He knew that this would be a great cleansing for the Evil Demons—but from his perspective, it might also be an opportunity.

When the demons and disciples of the entire Sacred Land gathered together, chaos would ensue. If he used the right methods, perhaps he could turn the tables—maybe even bring about the downfall of the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu.

“Li Tianwei, Li Tianwei, it seems you still underestimate us Evil Demons.”

“We shall see who purges whom.”

Having devised his countermeasure, Zhang Linyuan could not help but let out a dark chuckle.

At that time, the elders and Peak Masters in the Grand Hall all nodded, agreeing to Li Tianwei’s request.

For them, this was a trivial matter. Even without invoking the highest authority, as long as Li Tianwei applied for it, they would have arranged the sermon for him.

Thus, there was no need to seek approval from the Holy Lord.

To the elders of the Grand Hall, this was instead an excellent opportunity—to form a good relationship with this Heaven-Defying Genius.

Several Out-of-Body Realm ancestors even felt relieved that they had remained stationed in the Sacred Land—they hadn’t missed this chance.

After befriending Li Tianwei, these ancestors could not help but imagine how they would boast before the Holy Lord upon his return.

——

With the approval of the main peak’s elders and ancestors, the news of Li Tianwei’s upcoming sermon quickly spread throughout the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Even disciples who had been in seclusion for years were called out—all for this grand occasion.

As for the sermon’s topic, none had any idea.

Some disciples who had just emerged from seclusion sneered upon hearing the news.

After all, they had never even heard of the name Li Tianwei. He wasn’t an elder or ancestor, just a personal disciple of Heaven’s Gate Peak.

There were over a hundred such personal disciples across the twelve peaks—nothing special—so why all the fuss?

But when they learned that Li Tianwei had achieved the Golden Core Realm within a single year and had even comprehended several Dao Intents—

Their expressions changed instantly.

Why hadn’t they been called out sooner? They had almost missed the chance to attend Senior Brother Li’s sermon!

The way these disciples’ attitudes shifted left their fellow peers utterly astonished.

But in their view, it was only natural. Compared to the sermons of the elders or ancestors, the Dao preached by a Heaven-Defying Genius of their own generation would surely resonate far more deeply.

He shared their youthful spirit, their vision of the current era.

Thus, under the influence of the Sacred Land’s promotion—and Li Tianwei’s absolute talent and power—no controversy arose. Instead, a storm of excitement swept through the sect.

Clearly, in the eyes of every disciple in the Sacred Land of Lingxu, Li Tianwei was more than qualified to preach.

Extremely qualified. If anyone dared question it, the disciples would be the first to refute.

If Li Tianwei wasn’t qualified, who was?

Could anyone else achieve Golden Core in one year, comprehend multiple Dao Intents, and suppress Nascent Soul experts?

If they knew that Li Tianwei had actually comprehended a hundred Dao Intents, and with Golden Core strength had slain three Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators—what expressions would they wear then?

However, Lan Yu and the others understood well that such information must be kept secret. It could not be exposed too much.

Otherwise, Li Tianwei would be in grave danger—the three great Sacred Lands might march upon them immediately.

Such a Heaven-Defying Genius was far too monstrous.

The elders of the Sacred Land also understood—if their own sect had offended such a genius, they would have mobilized their entire force to eradicate him in his cradle.

At the same time, they felt deeply fortunate—this Heaven-Defying Genius was one of their own.

The news was thus kept hidden, known only to those of the main peak.

And among them, vigilance grew—each guarding against the potential strike of the Evil Demons.
