Chunibyo in Cultivation World

“Did you feel that the spiritual energy had been a bit strange lately?”

“What was strange about it? Don’t talk nonsense with your eyes open! Cultivation was difficult. Spiritual energy, spirit stones, formations—everything was needed. You should think about whether you had been diligent recently, whether your cultivation had improved over these years, whether your strength had increased.”

“……”

“There indeed had been some issues with spiritual energy lately.”

“What issues were there? The neighboring sect’s spiritual energy was even worse. If you had the ability, go create spiritual energy yourself. This spiritual energy was far denser than before.”

In the Northern Spirit Domain, quite a few cultivators had, during this period, been waking up from cultivation more and more frequently.

Every cultivator could sense that while cultivating, the spiritual energy seemed to carry certain strange changes, and when it merged into the body, there was an additional sense of obstruction.

Unfortunately, such a tiny abnormality was difficult to trace to its source, and so no one investigated it.

After all, too many things had been happening recently in the Northern Spirit Domain. The abnormality of spiritual energy had already become an extremely minor matter.

The Sacred Land of Lingxu had been aggressively consolidating forces and issuing new laws. Moreover, countless evil souls were acting like heavenly eyes, surveilling the world.

At this moment, cultivators were as powerless as mortals.

And as the instigator of all this, Li Tianwei had already completely plunged into the spiritual energy.

Relying on the power of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, Li Tianwei did not know how vast a range of spiritual energy he had taken control of during these few months.

One must not forget the level Li Tianwei’s strength had reached now. Even though he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, there were already Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators who had fallen into his hands, numbering two palms’ worth.

Even so, it had still taken several months.

From this, one could see just how difficult the discovery and correction of the Spirit Network truly were.

Yet in Li Tianwei’s eyes, all of this was extremely normal, because spiritual energy was simply too vast—yes, vast to an eerie degree.

Li Tianwei eroded the spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy also became power under his control. Through this, he saw another side of spiritual energy.

Aside from possessing their own existence, aside from spiritual energy itself, they were also connected to subterranean spirit veins so enormous as to be terrifying.

That was right. Li Tianwei had discovered underground spirit veins through spiritual energy.

The number of spirit veins within was beyond count, seemingly endless.

Those spirit veins crisscrossed beneath the earth, and the power of the spirit veins caused spiritual energy itself to fall into turmoil.

It was precisely this that resulted in the flow and convergence of spiritual energy.

This was also why places with many spirit veins had increasingly dense spiritual energy.

“So much spiritual energy. I feel it would be enough to let over half of the cultivators in the Northern Spirit Domain ascend.”

Through his perception, Li Tianwei clearly understood the vastness of spiritual energy.

Even so, just because spiritual energy was abundant did not mean ascension could occur at will.

At the very least, spiritual energy was not lacking, yet within the cultivation world, there were still people who could not even reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps there were reasons related to spiritual roots or aptitude, but more of it came from unequal resource distribution.

After all, the Sacred Land of Lingxu possessed a spiritual herb cultivation method that could rapidly nurture large quantities of spiritual herbs through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And the Foundation Establishment Pills refined from these spiritual herbs could allow far more cultivators to reach Foundation Establishment.

Yet unfortunately, they were restricted, causing countless Qi Refinement cultivators to fight desperately for Foundation Establishment Pills.

Spiritual herbs were not lacking, spiritual energy was not lacking, yet there were still piles of Qi Refinement cultivators.

Those Foundation Establishment Pills, formations, spiritual herbs, and various items were all methods of higher-level utilization of spiritual energy.

Not to mention spirit stones. As the first seat of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, Li Tianwei was well aware of the foundation of a sacred land.

Those spirit stones were enough for who knew how many people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu to cultivate. Even giving one spirit stone to every living being in the Northern Spirit Domain would still be sufficient, with surplus remaining.

Not to mention how many spirit stones the elders of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, or those even stronger, held in their hands.

Which cave residence did not have spirit stones piled like mountains?

Besides that, what about the other three great sacred lands?

Resources had always been sufficient. Spiritual energy could continue to regenerate, and spirit stones were the same.

Perhaps in the future, even better methods of developing spiritual energy would be discovered. By then, a single spirit stone might be enough to let someone cultivate all the way to the Golden Core Realm.

That was right. Spiritual energy could be consumed and used to its utmost limit.

It was just that at present, it could not yet be utilized that way. Everything would continue to advance.

Thus, Li Tianwei had never feared that letting everyone cultivate toward immortality would cause resources to be insufficient.

They had never been insufficient.

Because everything was constantly advancing and improving.

Therefore, what Li Tianwei clearly knew he needed to do was to thoroughly apply and utilize spiritual energy to the maximum.

After witnessing the vastness of spiritual energy, the things Li Tianwei needed to do became even more numerous.

Because Li Tianwei had a premonition that if he wanted to completely erode the spiritual energy of the entire cultivation world, not leaving out even a single bit, it might still take who knew how many years.

If it were only the spiritual energy of the Northern Spirit Domain, then it was different.

Thus, Li Tianwei decided to first take control of the spiritual energy of the Northern Spirit Domain, using it as a testing ground, and later fully spreading it to other spirit domains.

However, Li Tianwei did not restrict the outward spread of the spiritual energy he controlled.

Without Li Tianwei’s guidance and the driving power of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, the speed at which spiritual energy spread was no longer as fast as before.

“Spirit Network, Spirit Network.”

As he continued to delve deeper, Li Tianwei had already formed a complete concept of it.

What remained was to let this Spirit Network, under his drive, no longer be like before—having to connect with things such as spiritual roots.

It could be driven through wavelengths, radiation, and various different new methods.

The most important point was that everyone could receive it.

And for Li Tianwei, this was much simpler. The human body’s magnetic field, its own energy streams.

Even brain waves…

All of these could be connected, and even dreams could be linked.

By reducing the role of spiritual roots and starting from spiritual energy itself, as long as it was well controlled and radiated outward, it would become an entirely new method.

After thinking this through, Li Tianwei began to put it into practice.

“First, electromagnetic wavelengths…”

Li Tianwei began to convert spiritual energy, connecting it to the human body through another radiative method.

“Failure.”

Without any surprise, spiritual energy converted into electromagnetism conflicted with original electromagnetism, canceling each other out.

“Energy fields.”

Li Tianwei continued to experiment and practice.

Very quickly, second by second passed, and Li Tianwei no longer knew how many methods he had tested.

Yet there was still not a single one that could fully adapt to all characteristics.

“What exactly was indispensable, something everyone had, that could also connect with spiritual energy?”

“And it had to be extremely simple.”

Li Tianwei continued to hypothesize.

Suddenly, Li Tianwei seemed to realize something and could not help but laugh.

“People couldn’t possibly not breathe, right?”

“Since spiritual energy needed to connect and be activated, linking it with the senses and emotions through breathing—wouldn’t that be perfect?”
