Chunibyo in Cultivation World

Before long, the Golden Core emitted a phenomenon that affected the heavens and earth, and this vision was transmitted to the Main Peak as well.

At this moment, the anomaly within the Sacred Land of Lingxu could no longer be concealed, as even those at the Spirit Transformation Realm had sensed it.

“What’s going on? The heavens and earth are shifting—it’s as if some terrifying existence is about to be born.”

On the main seat of the Main Peak, a semi-transparent elder of the Out-of-Body Realm changed expression.

The other Spirit Transformation Elders and Peak Masters also noticed this strange occurrence.

“Not good—it’s from Heaven’s Gate Peak!”

Immediately, one of the Peak Masters was startled by that bizarre power. It was an extremely pure and refined force, yet hidden within it was an indescribable, mysterious strength—something he could only describe as overwhelmingly powerful.

“Go, quickly!”

At this moment, these elders and Peak Masters realized something and immediately spoke.

Zhang Linyuan, who sat on the main seat, fell silent for a moment before nodding deeply.

It wasn’t that he was taciturn—just moments ago, when he controlled Qing Changyu and saw that eerie Golden Core appear above Li Tianwei, along with the descent of that pure power, he had been momentarily bathed in its light.

Even though they were separated by the “Same Root Born” talent, under its influence he felt inexplicably uncomfortable—a strange exhaustion of both body and mind, as if his very soul wanted to ascend and fly away.

Such a bizarre feeling—this was the only way Zhang Linyuan could describe it.

“Junior Brother Zhang, what’s wrong with you?”

Just as Zhang Linyuan was feeling anxious, an elder of the Sacred Land of Lingxu beside him also noticed his abnormal state and asked.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go see what’s happening first.”

Zhang Linyuan shook his head repeatedly, forcefully suppressing that strange sensation surging through his body.

Seeing that Zhang Linyuan seemed fine, the elder did not pursue the matter and followed the others toward Heaven’s Gate Peak.

At the same time, on Heaven’s Gate Peak—

Li Tianwei’s manifested Golden Core hung suspended in mid-air, Dao Intents flowing and illuminating the earth.

Slowly, Li Tianwei descended from the sky and landed among the gathered crowd.

At this moment, the disciples present were all in various states—regretful, pained, broken…

Their gazes upon Li Tianwei were filled with strange emotion, as though they were receiving divine grace.

“Senior Brother Li…”

“We shouldn’t have treated you like that. We should’ve first understood your circumstances before speaking rashly.”

“We should treat others kindly, for only when all are good to others will others be good to us.”

These disciples, Qing Changyu included, all spoke in such a manner.

Excited and trembling voices echoed continuously. Li Tianwei could clearly sense the dense aura of benevolence emanating from these disciples.

It was evident that these people had been influenced by Evil Demons, and relying on the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity alone was far from enough to cleanse them.

He had to spread his own ideology among them—only by doing so could he guide them toward goodness.

Thus, Li Tianwei began preaching to the disciples of the Sacred Land, expounding upon the concepts he had created and integrated into the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

“Senior brothers…”

Li Tianwei spoke unceasingly, sharing his thoughts, the many forms of kindness, and the hardships he had endured along his path.

He also recounted his experiences in the Demonic Sect Territory, weaving in many principles from the world he once came from.

“Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.”

“Without investigation, there is no right to speak—just like when you came to find me.”

“Without investigation, one becomes misled by the Evil Demons.”

Li Tianwei lectured earnestly and sincerely.

Meanwhile, on the Main Peak, the Peak Masters and the Sacred Land’s Patriarchs rushed over in haste.

Before they even reached Heaven’s Gate Peak, they saw the Golden Core suspended in mid-air, surrounded by hundreds of Dao Intents, radiating an aura of ultimate destruction—and yet, outwardly, it appeared incomparably brilliant and holy.

For a time, they were at a loss for words.

Originally, when they saw the reflection of that Golden Core through Lan Yu’s divine sense projection, they had harbored a trace of skepticism.

But now, seeing it with their own eyes, they were deeply shaken.

They didn’t know how to describe what they felt. They themselves had reached the Spirit Transformation and Out-of-Body Realms—geniuses of their respective eras.

Yet compared to Li Tianwei, it seemed that even among geniuses, there were vast differences—like that between man and dog.

At that moment, they finally understood why Lan Yu had treated this matter with such solemnity.

They even thought that Li Tianwei’s treatment could be doubled.

As these thoughts crossed their minds, Li Tianwei continued to share his philosophy below, listening to the disciples’ confessions and their gazes of redemption cast upon him.

“Senior Brother Li…”

“To think that even after how we treated you, you still chose to help us…”

The disciples spoke tearfully, full of gratitude.

Even Qing Changyu of the Nascent Soul Realm was among them.

Looking upon the disciples he had enlightened, freed from the influence of the Evil Demons, Li Tianwei felt genuinely pleased.

After all, it was a good thing.

“Junior Brother Li, it’s all my fault for being too jealous.”

“It’s because both of us are Heavenly Spiritual Roots, yet you were able to establish your Foundation in a hundred days and form your Golden Core within a year.”

“I should’ve faced the gap between us properly and rejoiced that the righteous path birthed someone like you. Instead, I allowed my emotions to cloud my heart. To think that after so many years of cultivation, all my talent was wasted on the wrong path.”

Qing Changyu shook his head as he spoke.

Li Tianwei was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

“You’re also a Heavenly Spiritual Root!”

“Yes! But compared to your talent, Junior Brother Li, I am far inferior. After all, even among Heavenly Spiritual Roots, there are differences.”

“Your spiritual root must be an unprecedented existence!”

Qing Changyu nodded as he praised Li Tianwei.

Li Tianwei couldn’t help but smile, clearly satisfied with Qing Changyu’s words.

“Senior Brother Qing, well said.”

“Indeed, even among Heavenly Spiritual Roots there are differences. Take mine for instance—it is the Five-Colored Heavenly Root. With all elements complete, I possess such extraordinary talent that I was able to reach the Golden Core Realm in such a short time. Of course, that also owes much to my own wisdom.”

As Li Tianwei spoke, his tone became increasingly proud.

“Everyone, take a look.”

With a firm step forward, Li Tianwei unhesitatingly summoned his Spiritual Root.

At his words, the surrounding crowd halted, watching him with excitement, eager to witness the brilliance of a peerless genius’s spiritual root.

Although cultivators could reveal their spiritual roots after cultivation, few ever did—there was rarely a reason to expose oneself so openly.

Thus, for a Heaven-Defying Genius to display his spiritual root was truly rare.

The Sacred Land’s Patriarchs and Elders, who had just arrived, also stopped in their tracks, puzzled.

“Wasn’t Li Tianwei a Pure Yang Root?”

“Why is he claiming to be a Five-Colored Heavenly Root? Does such a root even exist?”

The elders and patriarchs wore doubtful expressions as their gazes all fell upon Li Tianwei below.
