Chunibyo in Cultivation World

”Many thanks to all the Elders for your protection.”

Bai Muxu cupped his hands toward the surrounding Elders and expressed his gratitude.

These Elders were, in truth, the genuine foundation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu. From the time of the Evil Demons’ sealing until now, they had been mighty cultivators from a thousand years ago—each one an existence above the Out-of-Body Realm.

Seeing Bai Muxu’s attitude, the Elders nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to Bai Muxu’s two hundred years of age, these Elders had lived for several millennia. It was only natural that he would salute them with respect.

”Elder Bai’s talent is extraordinary—at just two hundred years old, he has already reached the same level as us.”

”Now that the seal of the Evil Demons has been broken, the path to Ascension is finally within sight.”

Several Elders began praising Bai Muxu openly.

After all, it was right when Bai Muxu broke through to the Out-of-Body Realm that such a great anomaly had occurred. Though they did not know whether it was truly caused by him, it was indeed difficult not to draw such a connection.

As for Bai Muxu himself, he was secretly wondering—could he truly be the protagonist of destiny? The very moment he broke through, the Evil Demons’ seal, which had been indestructible for countless years, had suddenly shattered completely.

With his extraordinary talent, Bai Muxu could not help but fall deep into his own speculation.

”Forget it, enough thinking. Now that the Evil Demons’ seal has vanished, the path to Ascension is open.”

”However, I cannot act as recklessly as I did back in the Spirit Transformation Realm. After all, the great cultivators of the cultivation world will also soon emerge.”

”Let’s set a small goal—reach the Union Stage by the age of five hundred.”

Bai Muxu pondered silently.

In the Demonic Sect Territory.

Within the headquarters of the Blood Fiend Sect, a terrifying aura erupted from within the sect grounds.

Above the Blood Fiend Sect, crimson clouds gathered as faint black demonic flames shot into the sky. The overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth descended upon every disciple, rendering them immobile.

At that very moment, the Sect Leader of the Blood Fiend Sect rushed out from the Grand Hall.

Upon seeing the figure amidst the blood clouds, he immediately bowed his head low and half-knelt in mid-air.

At the same time, many Elders of the Blood Fiend Sect swiftly flew out and, like the Sect Leader, half-knelt in mid-air.

”We respectfully welcome the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor upon your emergence from seclusion.”

Following the Sect Leader’s lead, all the Elders of the Blood Fiend Sect shouted in unison.

Amidst that unified chorus, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the blood clouds—long hair the color of deep crimson blood, eyes glimmering with an eerie and extreme demonic luster. Most striking of all was the madness flickering within the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor’s gaze.

”Hahaha! Finally, I am free! The seal of the Evil Demons has been broken completely!”

”Now I can rampage as I please!”

As his voice fell, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor extended a hand toward the sky.

In that instant, the winds and clouds surged violently—dark skies roiled as a gigantic bloody hand covered the heavens, descending upon several great cities under the Blood Fiend Sect’s domain.

”Ahhh!”

”What’s happening? What’s happening? My blood—it’s drying up…!”

”My hand—shriveling…!”

Wretched screams echoed from within the cities. The mortals and cultivators within were all shriveled dry, their blood completely drained.

Their blood gathered into a vast sea of crimson, surging upward into the giant bloody hand in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor annihilated several great cities, extracting and refining all the vitality, souls, and blood of their inhabitants.

The Sect Leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, watching his domain vanish, felt a deep pang of sorrow but dared not utter a word.

After all, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor was the true master of the Blood Fiend Sect—an apex Great Demonic Cultivator at the peak of the Union Stage, or rather, a terrifying existence who had once fallen from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

He was the very foundation that allowed the Blood Fiend Sect to remain standing among the Two Sects and Three Religions within the Demonic Sect Territory.

If the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor so wished, he could destroy the Blood Fiend Sect and rebuild it anew with ease.

”Little Yuan, come here.”

After absorbing the fresh blood from several cities, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor regained some sanity. He looked toward the Sect Leader of the Blood Fiend Sect and crooked a finger.

Upon hearing this name, the Sect Leader frowned slightly.

”Demon Ancestor, I am Yun Liguì, disciple of Shen Yuan. My master, Shen Yuan, fell hundreds of years ago—killed by the hands of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.”

Yun Liguì hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

”Eh? Little Yuan is dead?”

”I hadn’t expected that.”

”The ones from the Sacred Land of Lingxu, is it?”

The Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor glanced up and down at Yun Liguì, then cast a slow gaze over the Elders below. Everyone who met his eyes felt their scalp tingle in terror.

”Yes, and not only that—their methods have grown crueler. They not only seek to exterminate us but have slaughtered millions of our Blood Slaves. Their means are utterly merciless.”

Sensing a strange emotion in the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor’s tone upon hearing the Sacred Land of Lingxu mentioned, Yun Liguì quickly seized the opportunity to complain.

”The Sacred Land of Lingxu, huh? Exterminating Blood Slaves—tell me more about this.”

The Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor became interested.

In his era, before the sealing of the Evil Demons, he had indeed interacted with the Sacred Land of Lingxu.

In his eyes, the so-called righteous cultivators of the Four Great Sacred Lands were all hypocrites—sanctimonious and deceitful.

In cultivation, there was no true distinction between righteous and demonic. The Demonic Sect simply used more brutal means, while the Four Great Sacred Lands chose more despicable methods.

Within secret realms, hadn’t countless battles for fortune and fate occurred? Everyone fought and killed for opportunities. So how could anyone claim righteousness?

If they truly were righteous, they would allow all beings to cultivate freely toward immortality.

Thus, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor had always looked down upon the Four Great Sacred Lands.

If one must differentiate, then perhaps the Sacred Land of Lingxu was marginally less hypocritical—nothing more.

So now, hearing that the Sacred Land of Lingxu had slaughtered Blood Slaves, he found it quite an amusing turn of events.

”Cultivating demonic arts? Massacres? Refining Demonic Cultivators into the Evil Soul Banner?”

”Hahaha! To think that during my brief seclusion, so many interesting things have occurred.”

”Li Tianwei, is it?”

After listening to Yun Liguì recount everything that had happened in Panshan City, the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor laughed in delight.

In the past, it had always been the Demonic Cultivators who treated the territories of the Four Great Sacred Lands this way—but now the tables had turned. Indeed, quite amusing.

Yet the Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor also noted the crucial point within Yun Liguì’s words.

”Golden Core in one year? Capable of slaying a Spirit Transformation cultivator?”

”I hadn’t imagined such talent could exist.”

”Since I’ve returned to the world, how could I not meet such a person?”

The Heavenly Blood Demon Ancestor was thoroughly intrigued by Li Tianwei.

——

Sacred Land of Lingxu.

At this moment, Li Tianwei had no idea that someone had already set their sights on him.

Even if he knew, he likely would have deemed it an insignificant matter.

Right now, he was reforming the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu.

Since his last sermon, countless disciples had achieved enlightenment, comprehending numerous truths from the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.

With the highest authority of the Sacred Land of Lingxu in his hands, he naturally sought to properly reorganize all the unreasonable and unjust affairs within the sect.
