Chunibyo in Cultivation World

At this very moment, the Hundred Intentions manifested as the violent energy within the Forbidden Land of Taixu, which had been still for an instant, suddenly surged toward Li Tianwei.

Because the descent was too fast, Li Tianwei’s figure was completely engulfed.

A massive vortex swirled around him, power frantically pouring toward his body.

The force was enough to tear apart countless Golden Core cultivators, yet it could not harm Li Tianwei in the slightest.

Meanwhile, within Li Tianwei’s consciousness, in the depths of his Spirit Platform, a splendid chaos stirred—the sea of stars had already condensed, and a faint wisp of clear light swept across it.

Before long, the endless energy converged.

It was as if an image of the heavens’ creation appeared within the Spirit Platform.

Soon after, the ultimate brilliance dissolved, and a Golden Core appeared above the Spirit Platform.

Within the perfectly round Golden Core, a nebula circled endlessly, exuding a sense of infinite pressure and inexhaustible power.

The emergence of this fusion Golden Core marked Li Tianwei’s breakthrough from Foundation Establishment into the Golden Core Realm.

One could say—“A single Golden Core swallowed into the belly, my fate is mine to command, not Heaven’s.”

But this had nothing to do with the Golden Core itself.

Li Tianwei always felt that from the day he was born, he was not bound by Heaven.

A Golden Core represented nothing; even without it, he was still not controlled by Heaven.

Since Heaven did not govern him, merely possessing a Fusion Golden Core was far from enough.

He had to inscribe all one hundred Dao Intents upon it.

Only by combining the power of fusion with the Dao Intents of this world would it truly be worthy of his identity.

That was Li Tianwei’s thought.

Thus, gazing upon the nebula-wrapped Golden Core, Li Tianwei began to manifest and reveal his Dao Intents.

In an instant, the hundred Dao Intents surged forth, each one shooting toward the Golden Core.

Under this power, one could see with the naked eye that the Golden Core began to take on a new aura beyond its pure and infinite fission energy.

“Kill…”

As the Intent of Killing fused in, it engraved itself upon the surface.

A bloody aura began to seep from the nebula-covered Golden Core, as though it were bleeding.

“Death…”

Another Intent fused in.

A sense of death, destruction, and finality spread across the Golden Core.

Then came Resentment, Evil…

A strange, twisted, and grotesque aura surged from within the Golden Core, the sinister energy radiating outward as if it could pierce and destroy all things.

After dozens of Dao Intents fused, a qualitative change occurred—proof that the idea was correct.

“I can still add more.”

Li Tianwei continued to integrate Dao Intents.

“Life, Purity, Clarity, Joy…”

Completely different from the previous sinister and poisonous Dao Intents, Li Tianwei did not care what would happen if these contrasting powers met; he continued to engrave them upon the Golden Core.

Soon, patterns of all shapes, formed of countless differing energies, appeared upon the Golden Core.

Beside “Evil” was “Purity,” beside “Death” was “Life.” Concepts of mutual restraint and generation—none of that mattered.

What suited him was enough.

Li Tianwei never cared about such things.

Life accompanied Death—wasn’t that how it was meant to be? Opposites, yet coexisting.

Others might fail to see it clearly, but could he himself not see it?

Li Tianwei gazed over it once more—the Hundred Intentions were all inscribed upon the Golden Core.

The nebula on the Golden Core shimmered with starlight, as though it had come alive at this moment.

It constantly radiated light—within the thick righteous aura glimmered traces of black-violet, as though covered in karmic virtue; on the other side, sinister energies manifested, carrying within them a faint clear glow—as though evil itself had been purified.

The two forces intertwined in eerie harmony, just as Li Tianwei had expected.

There was no problem at all—how could there be?

With the hundred Dao Intents engraved upon it, the Fusion Golden Core and Dao Intents had fully merged.

Looking at the Golden Core brimming with pure energy and boundless power, Li Tianwei knew he had succeeded—he had truly broken through to the Golden Core Realm.

Li Tianwei exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.

His aura now felt vast and boundless.

From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core—this was a complete transformation.

Added with the fusion of a hundred Dao Intents, the power was even more terrifying.

With the fusion state of the Golden Core, Li Tianwei felt that even when manipulating the world’s spiritual energy, he could now summon unimaginable force.

Until now, Li Tianwei had not actually controlled worldly spiritual energy to perform spells or divine abilities; all of his strength came from draining his own Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao.

Now, with the Golden Core in hand, he could draw forth even more power.

“Golden Core achieved. Next, I should prepare for the Nascent Soul.”

Li Tianwei thought to himself.

“The Golden Core is done, and with a hundred Dao Intents within me, it’s time to properly redeem those Celestial Souls.”

“When I was at Foundation Establishment, my speed wasn’t enough—but now it’s different.”

“Surely, those Celestial Souls are still waiting for me!”

Li Tianwei sighed softly, and with a surge of power, he streaked across the sky toward the depths of the Forbidden Land of Taixu.

“It’s finally over.”

Hidden in the shadows, the Spirit Dragon watched Li Tianwei’s departing figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although moments ago it had thought, let the Forbidden Land of Taixu be destroyed then!, its body still obediently followed Li Tianwei.

In the Spirit Dragon’s eyes, Li Tianwei’s every move seemed aimed at the destruction of the Forbidden Land itself.

It had been prepared to die, yet could only watch helplessly as Li Tianwei absorbed into his body the very force that could affect the entire Forbidden Land.

Then it witnessed Li Tianwei breaking through into the Golden Core Realm.

“Sigh… it’s just a Golden Core breakthrough, yet he caused such an uproar.”

The Spirit Dragon exhaled again.

It had never expected that a Golden Core breakthrough could be this terrifying.

If this was Golden Core, then what would the Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, or even ascension to immortality look like?

By then, there might not even be a place left for it to cultivate.

The Forbidden Land of Taixu, though overflowing with power, had already been heavily drained by him.

It would take a long time to recover.

“There probably aren’t any Extraterrestrial Demons outside. When the agreed time comes, I’ll leave.”

After seeing Li Tianwei, the Spirit Dragon had already gained a certain understanding of the outside world.

If even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be like that, then it was certain that the Extraterrestrial Demons had failed.

Otherwise, how could there still exist such powerful cultivators?

“Sleep. When I wake, everything will be back to the way it was.”

The Spirit Dragon closed its eyes within the Forbidden Land of Taixu.

As for Li Tianwei, wielding the Saint Soul Banner, and with his current Golden Core cultivation, he continued to absorb the energy within the Forbidden Land until the Saint Soul Banner was completely filled.

Then he went on to redeem several more Celestial Souls.

This place—viewed by countless experts of the Sacred Land of Lingxu as a forbidden, terrifying land—had, under Li Tianwei’s hand, turned into his private garden, entirely under his control.

Who knew what the cultivators of the Sacred Land of Lingxu would think if they learned of Li Tianwei’s actions?
