Chunibyo in Cultivation World

【Now do you realize how dangerous this world is? A moment of carelessness and you’ll be invaded by these evil demons, turning into something neither human nor ghost.】

Seeing Li Tianwei’s solemn expression, the System’s tone turned frivolous, as if saying, “See? This world is that dangerous. One small mistake and you’ll die instantly.”

【This world is extremely dangerous. Host, you’d better stay cautious, stop being so reckless. You only have one life.】

After experiencing two previous hosts, the once-proud System had thought that with its supreme power, guiding a host to ascension would be simple. Yet both times ended in failure, and both worlds had collapsed.

Now, the System decided to develop quietly, lying low.

However, just as the System’s voice faded, Li Tianwei seemed not to hear it at all.

The solemn look on his face suddenly broke into a bright smile, as if he had realized something profound.

“I knew it! There’s no way I transmigrated for no reason. So I came here to purge this world of evil demons — that’s the reason for my arrival!”

Li Tianwei’s face carried a wide grin, his excitement overflowing. He felt not a trace of fear at the System’s warning.

At this moment, the System, upon receiving Li Tianwei’s thoughts, was completely dumbfounded.

It hadn’t expected Li Tianwei to feel no fear.

Instead, he once again regarded himself as a Heaven-sent savior.

Arrogant, unstable, self-righteous — if the Seven Deadly Sins truly existed, then in the System’s heart, Li Tianwei was the very embodiment of Pride.

【Shameless.】

The System nearly lost control of itself again, but alas, Li Tianwei was its own chosen host.

It regretted it.

It was frustrated.

But there was no turning back.

Back when it made its choice, it had admired Li Tianwei’s steadiness, rationality, and good social standing.

Who could have imagined that behind that façade, he was this conceited, arrogant, and thoroughly chuunibyou-minded?

But what was done was done.

The System truly didn’t want Li Tianwei to end up like its two previous hosts.

【You must stay stable. Lie low. Develop cautiously.】

If “protagonists” truly existed, would so many worlds have perished? They would’ve all been saved long ago under the protection of these so-called main characters.

As a System that had traveled through countless worlds, it understood this all too well.

Thinking this, the System decided it should flatter him a bit — that way, Li Tianwei might behave himself.

With a clap of its figurative hands, the System formed a plan.

【Host, you’re absolutely right. If the Extraterrestrial Demons are allowed to run rampant, this world would indeed fall into chaos.】

【Therefore, your transmigration was destined — you are the savior chosen by Heaven and Earth.】

To make Li Tianwei more obedient and develop steadily, the System decided to drop its usual sarcasm and flatter him for once.

As for Li Tianwei, hearing those words, he didn’t feel much of anything — because to him, that was only natural.

Hadn’t he come to this world precisely to purge these demons and carry the System to greatness?

“System, you’re finally being a little useful. At least you detected those demons when I didn’t notice them at all.”

It was rare for Li Tianwei to compliment the System.

The System froze for a moment upon hearing the praise.

【Oh, it’s nothing, really!】

It responded somewhat bashfully, but quickly regained its senses — no, it couldn’t be like this! Li Tianwei was trying to PUA it! Absolutely not!

When the System came back to its senses, Li Tianwei was already bowing his head in deep contemplation.

Having been with him for some time, the System recognized that look — the same look he had when inventing that Fission Qi-Guiding Method, or when using explosive secret arts to glimpse higher realms, or when confronting the Filthy Resentful Aura.

Without a doubt, his so-called “world-shaking wisdom” was about to cause trouble again.

【Not good.】

The System immediately realized Li Tianwei was about to stir up trouble.

But it was already too late.

Li Tianwei had formed his own plans and ideas.

From the System’s intel, the evil demons had already eroded part of this world’s laws — and even some cultivators.

If that was the case, then didn’t it mean that the Sacred Land of Lingxu might also have been infiltrated?

With that thought, Li Tianwei had already made up his mind.

If his own sect was being corrupted by evil demons, then as the main character, how could he stand idly by?

“I must purge them. Purge—”

“The evil demons.”

Li Tianwei shouted in his heart. But then, a problem arose — how could he identify the demons?

According to the System, once these evil demons infiltrated cultivators, they would inherit their memories and personalities — becoming completely indistinguishable from the originals.

Unless they acted out of line, their nature would never be revealed.

【Host, don’t even think about purging the Sacred Land. Among them are demons that have taken over Out-of-Body Realm cultivators — that’s five entire realms above you! Be cautious, stop courting death!】

At that moment, the System, having received Li Tianwei’s thoughts, panicked and immediately tried to dissuade him.

It couldn’t imagine anyone so reckless — was he really this delusional to think he was invincible?

The System was fuming with frustration.

Li Tianwei, however, became serious upon hearing this.

“So what if they’re Out-of-Body Realm? Simple — I’ll just reach the Out-of-Body Realm too.”

He said this arrogantly, full of self-confidence, as though breaking through that realm was a mere trifle.

The System nearly burst out laughing.

A False Spiritual Root breaking into the Out-of-Body Realm? Did he really think that because he’d stumbled his way into a Hundred-Day Foundation, he could be treated like someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root?

The later stages a False Spiritual Root reached, the more its elemental attributes needed to stay perfectly balanced.

Maintaining that balance required absorbing massive amounts of spiritual energy to push all attributes to breakthrough thresholds — hundreds of times what better roots needed.

【Host, but you’re only at the Foundation Establishment Realm right now.】

The System reminded him.

“Of course I know that. I’m not stupid. Fighting above my level is my specialty. For now, I’ll just kill some Golden Core and Foundation Establishment demons first!”

“When I reach Out-of-Body, it’ll be effortless.”

Li Tianwei gave the System a look that clearly said, ‘Are you dumb?’

Facing his gaze, the System suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

For a moment, it even felt like it was the fool here.

Yes, Li Tianwei was incredibly arrogant — but he wasn’t stupid.

Still, this couldn’t go on.

He had to remain cautious, calm, and steady.

The System thought this might actually be a good opportunity.

Although an elder in the Sacred Land of Lingxu at the Out-of-Body Realm had been corrupted, the sect still housed cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

That demon wouldn’t dare cause large-scale chaos.

Even if it did act, how could a Tribulation expert not sense it?

So within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, they were still safe.

If Li Tianwei were to suffer a little loss within the Sacred Land, maybe he’d finally realize his own shortcomings — wouldn’t that be the perfect lesson?

【I truly am clever. I really am the System.】

The System thought smugly, but the next moment, it froze in alarm.

【Pah pah pah! What am I doing sounding like Li Tianwei? I’m the System! I must stay steady and cautious! Though... I am indeed clever.】

The System spat in frustration.

Having made up its mind, it began flattering Li Tianwei once again, already picturing the future — where Li Tianwei would become ever more stable, ascend step by step, purge all Extraterrestrial Demons, and it would finally receive Heaven and Earth’s blessing, officially turning righteous.
