Chunibyo in Cultivation World

“More than I estimated.”

Li Tianwei calculated the Evil Souls that had been released. They differed somewhat from what he had previously anticipated, after all, one batch had been pulled out by the Sun–Moon Wheel.

As for the Evil Souls below, they completely dared not raise their heads to look directly at Li Tianwei. They prepared to remain quietly in place. It was a rare occasion where, after the Soul Banner was waved and driven, there was no sound of their wailing cries inside.

After all, they had all been released.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s begin!”

Li Tianwei did not care what these Evil Souls were thinking or what they were struggling with. He directly formed hand seals.

At the same time, behind Li Tianwei, the Nascent Soul Manifestation revealed itself.

Within the Void Emptiness Manifestation, countless points of starlight slowly lit up, dazzling and resplendent.

All the Evil Souls could not help but be drawn to it, and just as they grew anxious—

One thousand five hundred kinds of Dao Intent surged forth.

Only to see that behind Li Tianwei, the body that had originally been spewing demonic aura clamorously due to driving the Saint Soul Banner was now imbued with pure, benevolent, and righteous qi.

One thousand five hundred kinds of Dao Intent, one righteous and one inverse, mutually intertwined and fused.

And just as all the Evil Souls thought that this was the end, Li Tianwei slowly opened his eyes.

“Come! Devote yourselves completely! For everything in this world, contribute the very last shred of benevolence that remains in your hearts!”

“Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.”

Li Tianwei’s cold words were spoken from his mouth.

Pure white light taken to the extreme, mixed with benevolence so dense it reached the utmost limit, all kinds of sacred intentions interweaving.

A scent of decay spread out from Li Tianwei’s body. Upon closer inspection, one would see that at the location where Li Tianwei stood, the surrounding grass and trees withered, and were even faintly distorted.

Such a decaying, radiation-like aura expanded outward continuously, with Li Tianwei at its center.

Very quickly, this power densely covered every region of the Sacred Land of Yincang. Any Evil Soul that had emerged from Li Tianwei’s Soul Banner did not escape this coverage.

Even heaven and earth, after Li Tianwei’s power erupted, were completely dyed pure white.

Those Evil Souls closest to Li Tianwei grew increasingly vacant in their eyes, sinking completely, their consciousness already returning to the Eighteenth Level of Hell.

These Evil Souls could all feel that the torment of the Eighteenth Level of Hell had begun anew, yet from another perspective, they could see themselves still kneeling before Li Tianwei, awaiting instructions.

Very clearly, they themselves had been split.

That’s right—these two completely different sensations: one was the self being utterly free, the other was the agonizing torment of the Eighteenth Level of Hell.

Under such bizarre circumstances, they seemed to understand that this was Li Tianwei’s doing, and they also understood Li Tianwei’s intentions.

But what could they possibly stop?

“No! I’m clearly free! My divine soul has already been driven by you, but why do you still seal us inside, letting us sense the aura of freedom outside?!”

Under this dual contradiction, they had already become somewhat unable to distinguish things clearly.

This was an entirely new form of torment. They also finally comprehended why Li Tianwei had summoned them out.

As the Evil Souls of the Sacred Land of Yincang knelt down one after another, Li Tianwei also completed his absolute control over these divine souls.

Their consciousness was preserved, allowing them to carry out all of Li Tianwei’s commands, while on the other side, they could continue to undergo the cleansing of sins through torment in the Eighteenth Level of Hell.

Two-pronged at once—this way, it would not be like before, delaying such an important matter as cleansing their sins.

“They must have this awareness now, right?”

“I said I would accumulate merit for you, and I will accumulate merit for you. When it is sufficient and your sins are completely washed away, that will be true freedom.”

“Good.”

Thinking of how these Evil Souls, who had committed countless evils, could now go to various places to teach and instruct mortals, while on the other side still continuing to endure torment in the Eighteenth Level of Hell,

Li Tianwei could not help but sigh with emotion.

“Go! Go do what you ought to do!”

After finishing all this, Li Tianwei waved his hand, and all the Evil Souls headed off in every direction.

Under the two split consciousnesses, those Evil Souls could only watch as their divine souls enjoyed hollow freedom, while their own awareness was still being tormented in the Eighteenth Level of Hell. Some had already collapsed.

“Kill me! I want my soul to scatter!”

“Stop torturing me like this! I don’t want to cleanse my sins!”

Some Evil Souls had already begun to scream.

And the mortal souls that Li Tianwei had previously arranged inside went straight up and struck them several times upon seeing this.

“We need to add a few more punishments. Look, they still have the strength to shout.”

After doing all this, Li Tianwei could be considered to have completed the final arrangements.

Next would be to completely perfect the Spirit Network.

“Let’s start on the spot!”

Li Tianwei did not waste time. He directly found a suitable cave residence within the Sacred Land of Yincang, began seclusion, and completed the Spirit Network.

Tian Gang Superior, after comprehending Li Tianwei’s Great Dao and experiencing an improvement in strength, also began to busy himself, wholeheartedly handling the various affairs of the current Three—or rather, Four—Sacred Lands now unified under the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

“It seems my Ascension path is already very clear.”

Tian Gang Superior thought truthfully.

At this moment, the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu began to operate at high speed.

Do not forget that the disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had long since walked upon the Heart-Questioning Steps that Li Tianwei had rebuilt.

All of them had found their own paths within it, and had personally experienced Li Tianwei’s wisdom.

Everyone could find their own position amid this great upheaval.

The Sacred Land of Lingxu moved swiftly, and the entire Northern Spirit Domain no longer had the power to obstruct the existence of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Aside from the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators of the four Sacred Lands, only a handful remained in the entire Northern Spirit Domain, and they still had to guard against chaos, as well as face the Ascension Tribulation that could descend at any moment.

Moreover, they were already close to Ascension, making it even more unnecessary for them to meddle in such matters.

However, due to the destruction of the Three Sacred Lands, some great sects with Union Realm cultivators stationed within them began to stir, wishing to replace the positions of the Three Sacred Lands.

Many powerful forces also set up new alliances.

Unfortunately, it was all useless.

At this time, the Evil Souls within Li Tianwei’s Soul Banner had already been assigned by him to various regions of the Northern Spirit Domain.

More than ten at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and several hundred at the Union Realm, each stationed in different regions.

The most terrifying point was that as long as there was the slightest disturbance, these Evil Souls would swarm in all at once.

The entire Northern Spirit Domain had no ability to resist at all.

After these Evil Souls dealt with several hundred restless forces,

the entire Northern Spirit Domain finally settled into peace and stability.

And this was only the beginning. Under Li Tianwei’s instructions, these Evil Souls were not merely wandering about for nothing—they also had to teach and instruct, resolving doubts, not only for cultivators, but also for those mortals.
