Chunibyo in Cultivation World

Sensing the feeling of imminent ascension, Li Tianwei could not help but take a deep breath.

No one would have been able to imagine that a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm would actually be about to ascend at this moment, and even without undergoing an Ascension Tribulation.

What kind of concept was this— even if Li Tianwei’s strength and abilities indeed violated common sense somewhat.

Yet the path of cultivation still required steady steps, from Qi Refinement to Tribulation Transcendence, breaking through the Ascension Tribulation before one could ascend and Become an Immortal.

But now, being able to ascend at the Nascent Soul Realm—what purpose did those realms even serve then?!

It was obviously far too excessive.

However, in Li Tianwei’s heart, realms were nothing more than rigid frameworks, and who ever said that a Nascent Soul could not ascend.

There seemed to be no rule explicitly forbidding Nascent Soul ascension either.

Of course, being able to ascend now did not mean Li Tianwei was willing to.

“I cannot ascend right now. I still have Evil Demons that have not been dealt with, I have not completely passed down the path of cultivation, and I still have many things left undone.”

“Don’t be ungrateful.”

Li Tianwei’s eyes burned with anger as he looked at the immortal light constantly surging before him, the five-colored radiance dazzling, as he rebuked it.

Perhaps Li Tianwei’s words truly had an effect. The immortal light and radiant colors that had been continuously guiding him suddenly halted, as if forcibly restrained by something.

Immediately afterward, the immortal light and power poured away like a collapsing flood.

The heavenly-descending phenomenon also dissipated entirely. No one would have imagined that, just a moment ago, someone had nearly ascended in broad daylight without even undergoing an Ascension Tribulation.

As the immortal light vanished, Li Tianwei descended from midair.

“The Spirit Network has already been constructed.”

“Afterward, as long as it is spread out, anyone can cultivate here, even without a Spiritual Root.”

“Use perception as the guide, discard the false and retain the true.”

Li Tianwei slowly recited, then directly took out the Saint Soul Banner.

His consciousness sank into it, and countless streams of information were transmitted back through the Yin Souls distributed across the Northern Spirit Domain.

The terrifying volume of data surged in at once, yet Li Tianwei merely furrowed his brows slightly.

Over the past few months, Li Tianwei had already gained a comprehensive grasp of the Northern Spirit Domain’s situation.

However, despite the suppression by Evil Souls, the promulgation of various new laws, and even the resettlement of ordinary people across different regions, opposing forces still existed.

After orders were issued to gather manpower for assistance, certain factions openly complied while secretly defied them.

For example, claiming to execute something at two hundred percent effort, yet even good matters would end up ruined in their hands.

“There are too few people.”

“But now it’s different. Spiritual energy has already been fully spread.”

“With the existence of the Spirit Network, everything will only become even more transparent.”

“No one will be able to hide from me anymore.”

Li Tianwei’s gaze became incomparably sharp.

“Sun–Moon Wheel.”

Li Tianwei directly recalled the Sun–Moon Wheel.

During this period, due to Li Tianwei’s handling of the Spirit Network, the Sun–Moon Wheel had been staying inside the Saint Soul Banner, enjoying a rare stretch of peace.

Upon hearing Li Tianwei’s voice, it immediately perked up.

“True Lord, True Lord, I’m here!”

The ingratiating voice of the Sun–Moon Wheel rang out as the Dharma wheel spun continuously and arrived before Li Tianwei.

“Does True Lord have some task for me?”

Li Tianwei looked at the Sun–Moon Wheel before him and sized it up carefully.

“You’ve stayed in the banner these past days. You should know what I am creating, right?”

“And now—this is precisely when I need you.”

As Li Tianwei spoke, the Sun–Moon Wheel trembled violently, and even the sun and moon on the Dharma wheel seemed to flip over.

“True Lord, I didn’t do anything wrong!”

In Sun–Moon’s eyes, Li Tianwei bringing this up now meant he intended to turn it into an Evil Soul within the soul banner, just like the others.

At the thought of how those fellows were tortured inside the banner, subjected to all kinds of torment, the Sun–Moon Wheel’s heart went cold.

“So he still doesn’t plan to let me go!”

As for resistance, the Sun–Moon Wheel also understood clearly that it was utterly no match for Li Tianwei.

Thus, with an expression of heroic resignation, as if going to its execution, it said, “Come on! True Lord, do whatever you want!”

In Li Tianwei’s eyes, however, this meant that the Sun–Moon Wheel had already agreed.

“Good.”

Li Tianwei nodded, reached out, and clasped the Sun–Moon Wheel in his palm, while beginning to chant incantations.

“Heaven and Earth…”

“Illuminate all things of the world, Spirit Network coexist, together.”

Li Tianwei continued chanting the incantation, and the spiritual energy outside seemed to sense something, swarming toward him.

However, the spiritual energy now was no longer the same as before.

What Li Tianwei was doing was connecting it with spiritual energy. When the time came, the Sun–Moon Wheel would be able to drive far greater power, fully linking together with the Spirit Network.

Paired with the Sun–Moon Wheel’s illuminating ability, it could completely record everything in the present world.

Since the Eighteen Levels of Hell already existed, the Underworld also needed to be constructed.

The Three Lives Stone, the Karma Mirror Platform, and so on all had to be properly completed.

Undoubtedly, the Sun–Moon Wheel was extremely suitable for this, as it could also illuminate karmic causality.

Thus, what Li Tianwei was doing was fully integrating it with the soul banner. Then, combined with external spiritual energy, the general framework of the Underworld would be complete.

With external information gathering in place, the Book of Life and Death would no longer be mere decoration. When the Sun–Moon Wheel recorded it into the Book of Life and Death, everything could be clearly distinguished.

“Why does this feel strange…”

At this moment, the Sun–Moon Wheel was sensing the power transmitted by Li Tianwei, while also sensing the power coming from the spiritual energy.

For some reason, the Sun–Moon Wheel discovered that the current spiritual energy was fundamentally different from before, though it truly could not articulate exactly how.

Unfortunately, there was no time for it to dwell on this. The Sun–Moon Wheel felt itself undergoing constant transformation.

Along with this, the original Dharma wheel form of the Sun–Moon Wheel began to disintegrate.

It was as if the sun and moon on the Dharma wheel were about to drift out and hang aloft, illuminating the banner with sun and moon.

And just as the Sun–Moon Wheel wondered what would happen, the sun and moon engraved upon its true body truly advanced from illusory to real. One could even see them slowly rising, hanging upon the soul banner.

In an instant, all the power of the Saint Soul Banner concentrated into the sun and moon high in the heavens.

At the same time, the banner flag outside the Saint Soul Banner gained patterns of the sun and moon on both sides. It seemed that at this moment, the entire Saint Soul Banner had undergone a complete elevation.

From the Sun–Moon Wheel’s perception, it could feel that its consciousness and its original power had both been greatly amplified.

In that fleeting instant, the Sun–Moon Wheel could know any karmic fact of all things covered by spiritual energy.

“Ah! This…”

Relying on this power, the Sun–Moon Wheel also sensed the sudden transformation of spiritual energy.

“What did he do… the Immortal Dao seems to have changed.”

The Sun–Moon Wheel felt the spiritual energy and the boundless karmic threads, already struggling to process it all.

Amid the myriad changes of all things, through spiritual energy, the Sun–Moon Wheel had already discerned that it was Li Tianwei alone who had completely reversed everything.

Even the path of the Immortal Dao had undergone a drastic transformation.
