Chunibyo in Cultivation World

As for why Li Tianwei had gone to such lengths, what was it all for?

In Li Tianwei’s view, although those Union Realm Ancestors bore sins upon their bodies, being able to cultivate to the Union Realm meant they certainly possessed their own capabilities—they were people of real ability.

And now that the Sacred Land of Lingxu was to develop and fulfill Li Tianwei’s vision, it needed such people—for example, to have them guide the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Guidance from Union Realm cultivators was enough to allow all the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu to achieve tremendous breakthroughs.

In the past, Union Realm Ancestors stood high above all else. How could they possibly lower their heads to do such things? They did not even have the mood to look upon the mortal world.

After all, in their eyes, everyone else had merely been consumables and tools.

Only those with outstanding aptitude would receive an extra glance, because they would eventually reach the same position as themselves. Investing more effort into cultivating them would simply create another major tool—much like the Sacred Lord of Lingxu.

What Li Tianwei intended to do now was to squeeze them to the absolute limit. Yet doing so would give them too much freedom, and thus Li Tianwei came up with this idea.

He would control them, letting their consciousness continue to endure the cleansing of the Eighteenth Level of Hell, while watching their own bodies carry all of their accumulated experience as they taught the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

In this way, their consciousness would be cleansed, while teaching cultivation and obtaining merit.

This would allow their sins to be washed away even faster.

Li Tianwei felt there was nothing bad about this, so he answered on their behalf.

“Not bad results.”

Li Tianwei looked at the divine souls of those Union Realm Ancestors before him and thought this.

Seeing how effective it was, Li Tianwei naturally shifted his gaze toward Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and the others. These could not be wasted either. As for demonic cultivators—in Li Tianwei’s eyes, they still had aspects worth taking. It was just a pity they had not been used on the righteous path.

But who could blame him for being magnanimous?

And Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, who was suffering endless torment within the banner, sensed a chill at this moment.

Unfortunately, it was useless. Li Tianwei’s Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity had already descended directly upon him.

Within the entire Saint Soul Banner, fifteen Union Realm cultivators were all brought under the control of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

After finishing all this, Li Tianwei looked at the Eighteenth Level of Hell within the soul banner and felt that it still seemed to be lacking something.

“It will need to be expanded in the future.”

The situation inside the soul banner was still somewhat different from the Eighteenth Level of Hell he had envisioned.

But it did not matter. The Forbidden Land of Taixu still existed. When the time came, he could simply find an opportunity to deal with it.

“It’s time to go out.”

Li Tianwei’s consciousness returned once more, and at the same time, more than a dozen figures appeared beside him. From their half-transparent illusory forms, it was clear that they did not exist in physical bodies.

Looking at the scenery outside the cave residence, Li Tianwei transformed into a rainbow and departed, with those dozen-plus figures closely following behind him.

In Li Tianwei’s eyes, dealing with the ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had only been a beginning. There were still various nations and cities under the Sacred Land of Lingxu’s rule that needed to be dealt with. No one knew how many filthy, hidden corners still existed within them.

Another matter was the one Li Tianwei valued the most—he was calculating how to allow those who could not cultivate immortality, who lacked spiritual roots, to cultivate.

That’s right. Li Tianwei wanted everyone to be able to cultivate. Only in this way could situations like that of the Purple Profound Mansion be curbed.

Cultivators stood high above, didn’t they? If everyone were a cultivator, if everyone held power in their hands, then cultivators who wished to commit evil would have to weigh the consequences carefully.

Thus, the invisible barrier between mortals and cultivators had to be shattered.

If everyone could cultivate immortality, then various natural disasters could also be resolved quickly. At the very least, all regions could enjoy favorable weather, without having to depend on the moods of cultivators.

There would also be no need to worry about survival as an immediate problem.

In Li Tianwei’s view, this arrangement had to be developed first—shattering the filter through which cultivators were seen by all living beings, shattering the filter of heroes.

However, though it sounded easy, Li Tianwei was very clear about the difficulty of actually doing it.

“That’s precisely the kind of difficulty that’s needed.”

In Li Tianwei’s eyes, this was only as it should be.

Since he had already transmigrated, he had to do something big. How could small matters possibly highlight the fact that he was the protagonist of the world?

Inside the Main Hall of the Sacred Land of Lingxu’s Main Peak.

Under Li Tianwei’s insistence, the Main Peak was no longer merely a symbol as it had been in the past. It had been completely opened to the disciples of all peaks.

The former Peak Masters of the various main peaks, representatives of the various lineages’ disciples, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu, and those Union Realm Ancestors who had previously stood on Li Tianwei’s side were all waiting inside the hall.

Even so, not a single Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestor had shown up. As for the reason, perhaps only those Tribulation Transcendence Ancestors themselves knew.

At this moment, everyone in the hall had arrived early and was waiting, having received Li Tianwei’s voice transmission.

Very soon, Li Tianwei’s figure appeared outside the hall, with more than a dozen Union Realm evil souls that had just been summoned from the soul banner behind him.

Upon Li Tianwei’s arrival, everyone in the hall turned their attention toward him.

The Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s gaze, however, fell upon Li Tianwei’s back.

“As expected.”

Seeing those divine souls, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu finally settled his heart regarding the Sacred Land of Lingxu having lost more than half of its high-level combat power.

The Sacred Lord of Lingxu had also been somewhat afraid. If Li Tianwei were not present, then with the remaining cultivators of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, they would have been completely insufficient to resist the other Three Sacred Lands.

But now, things were different.

Although he had already known that Li Tianwei’s evil soul banner could refine and command Union Realm divine souls, only after seeing it with his own eyes did the Sacred Lord of Lingxu truly understand Li Tianwei’s terror.

He even suspected that during Li Tianwei’s previous great battle with the Union Realm Ancestors, even without unleashing such terrifying methods, Li Tianwei could have defeated and killed one, then refined it into an evil soul to command. At that point, what those people would have faced would have been an ever-growing number of enemies.

Thinking of this, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu could not help but feel fortunate that his choice back then had not been wrong.

He had only wanted to follow the Dao of righteousness within his heart. If, for the sake of longevity and power, one were to abandon all emotion and learn to be like those ancestors—using any means necessary—then cultivating immortality would have been meaningless.

“First Seat Li…”

Upon seeing Li Tianwei, some disciples had already begun to greet him.

Li Tianwei responded to them one by one, then walked to the arranged seat in the hall and sat down.

“Master.”

Seeing Bai Muxu seated beside him, Li Tianwei did not forget to offer his greeting.

Hearing Li Tianwei’s voice, Bai Muxu nodded lightly, then glanced at his friends within the sect.

It was as if he were saying, look—this is my disciple. Even after becoming invincible under heaven, he was still so courteous.

Seeing Bai Muxu’s expression, those elders who were close to him could not help but cover their faces.

After Li Tianwei sat down, the hall instantly fell silent.

Even so, countless fervent gazes continued to focus on Li Tianwei.
